Young Yulia Kryukova is the daughter of the famous actor Konstantin Kryukov, heir to the famous dynasty of Russian cinema, and Evgenia Varshavskaya, successor to the business of her billionaire father. What happened to the story of a girl born at the junction of the relationship between these two difficult families?
Origins
The story began back in the distant 20s of the last century, when in the small village of Belozerka, Kherson district of the Ukrainian SSR, in an ordinary peasant family, on September 25, 1920, an outstanding Soviet and Russian theater and film actor, film director and screenwriter Sergei Fedorovich Bondarchuk was born, needing no introduction.
Thirty-nine years later, the famous actress Irina Konstantinovna Skobtseva became his third wife.
Three years later they became the parents of Lenochka's daughter, the future grandmother of Yulia Kryukova, our today's heroine. And in 1967 it was the turn of the youngest son Fedya, who later became the famous film actor, producer and film director Fyodor Bondarchuk.
So it beganone of the brightest and most influential dynasties of Russian cinema.
Grandpas
Our heroine got her last name from her paternal grandfather, a gemologist, doctor of philosophy and businessman Vitaly Dmitrievich Kryukov (below in the photo).
On the mother's side, the grandfather of Yulia Kryukova was a former deputy of the State Duma and billionaire Vadim Evgenievich Varshavsky, an authoritative and high-ranking person. Twenty-five years of his career from the head of the mining section of the YakutUgol production association to the general director of Russian Coal CJSC were truly dizzying.
Grandfather Vitaly's wife was the same Elena, daughter of Irina Skobtseva and Sergei Bondarchuk.
Vadim's grandfather's wife was also called Elena. She, like her husband, was an entrepreneur and was in the banking business. In their marriage, two daughters were born - Anna and Evgenia, the future mother of Yulia Kryukova.
Grandma Lena
Elena Sergeevna Bondarchuk, the wife of grandfather Vitaly, was a worthy successor to the cinematic dynasty of their famous family. The origin of the family of the great director and actress naturally predetermined her own acting destiny.
Even as a young sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, she first played in the movie. Her debut was the military drama Velvet Season, which was released in 1978. Following the adviceher famous father, the future grandmother of Yulia Kryukova, was quite selective about the proposed scenarios, so she had few big roles in the cinema. Her most striking works were the paintings "Boris Godunov" and "Quiet Don".
Then her husband, Vitaly Kryukov, suggested that Elena Sergeevna, together with their five-year-old son Kostya, move to him in Switzerland, where he worked at that time. Bondarchuk agreed and parted from her homeland for almost ten years, devoting herself entirely to her husband.
Father
The first kindergarten of Yulia Kryukova's father, Konstantin Kryukov, son of Elena Bondarchuk and Vitaly Kryukov, was a Swiss nursery. There, in Switzerland, he studied at school until the sixth grade and graduated from the art school of the city of Zurich, which served as a worthy start for his development as an artist, later awarded the Order of Franz Kafka.
Then his family returned to Moscow, where Kryukov graduated from a school at the German embassy at the age of fourteen.
Two years later, the young prodigy has already managed to become a graduate of the Moscow branch of the American Institute of Gemology, which he entered on the advice of his father, who was passionate about this science of precious stones.
Becoming a gemologist, Konstantin learned the craft of jewelry, and at the age of 17 he made a ring for his mother with a unique design developed by himself. Seven years later, his first collection of jewelry "Choice" was released.
Then he decided to radically change his occupation andgraduated from the Law Academy.
Become a famous actor, he was prompted by none other than his uncle, the same Fyodor Bondarchuk, inviting him in 2005 to his film "9th Company". From that moment on, the doors of cinema for Konstantin were no longer closed, and today his filmography has already exceeded fifty films.
Mother
Evgenia, the future mother of Yulia Kryukova and the youngest daughter of Vadim and Elena Varshavsky, as already mentioned, came from an extremely we althy family, lived with her parents on Rublyovka and did not deny herself anything.
However, she was a well-mannered and honest girl. And for her own misfortune or happiness, she once met a ladies' man and heartthrob Kryukov, it's up to her to decide.
Family
They met in 2003, having met by chance in one of the Arbat cafes. Konstantin was barely eighteen at the time. Twenty-year-old Evgenia was a student at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations.
The girl herself went to the table at which Kryukov was sitting, mistaking him for the popular American singer Justin Timberlake. Word for word, a mutual sympathy and close relationship arose between the young people, which lasted for almost five years.
February 24, 2007, Konstantin and Evgenia officially registered their marriage.
The wedding was luxurious, as befits the level of the couple's families. The celebration was celebrated in the elite club "Paradise", oneof the most expensive and fashionable metropolitan establishments. The bride's dress, adorned with almost two kilograms of pearls, matched the decor.
The bridegroom's wedding gift was a ring consisting of two intertwined rings with black and white diamonds.
And six months after the wedding, the young family of Konstantin and Evgenia was already expecting an addition.
Yulia
Yulia Kryukova, daughter of Konstantin Kryukov and Evgenia Varshavskaya, was born in Moscow on September 7, 2007.
She received this name in honor of her great-grandmother Yulia Nikolaevna Skobtseva, who was a very bright person and took an active part in the upbringing of young Konstantin.
Twenty-year-old Konstantin did not realize his paternity, so all the care of his daughter fell on the shoulders of her mother Evgenia. Kryukov continued his usual bohemian and party life.
The godfather of the newborn girl was Fyodor Bondarchuk, who played the role of Konstantin Kryukov's main adviser and guardian for almost his entire adult life.
Below in the photo is Yulia Kryukova, daughter of Konstantin Kryukov, at the time of christening.
Until November 2008, the life of the little daughter of Konstantin and Evgenia was exactly the same as that of millions of other babies of her age.
It was then that the parents decided not to make their daughter public and completely ruled out her photos in the media and the Internet.
Divorce
After the wedding, the father of Yulia Kryukova, Konstantin Kryukov, did not change his own habits and wild life. He still remained the same ladies' man who could be seen at almost every party with another beauty, while his wife stayed at home and nursed her daughter.
The facial expressions of the newlyweds in the photographs became sadder every day, and Evgenia no longer hid her lost look.
Starting from March 2008, Kryukov practically stopped appearing at home. Unable to bear such family life, the girl filed for divorce.
Konstantin did not even come to the divorce proceedings, citing being busy filming a new film.
Just a year and a half after their wedding, on November 6, 2008, their marriage was officially annulled.
Kryukov himself considered the reason for the divorce from Evgenia Varshavskaya that his wife was an overly responsible and obsessive woman, showing her superiority over him. Therefore, he, a hunter in his soul, was simply bored next to Evgenia.
Julia today
This year the girl is already eleven years old. She lives with her mother.
Now Kryukov has established relations with his ex-wife and, if possible, takes part in raising his daughter. According to him, Julia is more like her mother, she took the best features and facial expressions from her. She is an introvert and constantly immersed in herself, which her father really likes.
There is only one thing on the webphoto of Yulia, daughter of Konstantin Kryukov, which her famous father took in Cuba, during their joint vacation with his new wife Alina Alekseeva.
As you can see from this only picture available, the quality of which leaves much to be desired, the girl got her mother's thick hair, the same curly as her father.
