Stefania-Mariana Gurskaya. Gurskaya Stefania-Maryana Does an actress need professional education?

The future star of the humorous scene first saw the light of day on January 9, 1992 in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. A little later, the girl’s family moved to Kamensk-Uralsky in the Sverdlovsk region, where she spent her childhood and youth, and then she ended up in Yekaterinburg. The baby received her original name because she was born on the day of the Catholic St. Stephen; her parents added the name Maryana to it at baptism.

Stefania is the eldest child in the Gursky family; she has a younger brother and sister. Stefa, as her close friends nicknamed her, has been distinguished since childhood by her restlessness and cheerfulness, excellent leadership qualities and determination. Such inclinations greatly helped her in later life to become the famous actress that she is today.

Career

Maryana began to take her first steps towards art in her childhood - in Kamensk-Uralsky she performed in the local KVN. Having moved to Yekaterinburg, the girl continued to play with another team. For some time she was a member of the famous “Voices” team, then the leader of a female duet called “Plasticine”. This tandem did not gain any particular fame; they were never able to qualify for the First League, but when performing in Sochi, the producers of “Ural Dumplings” drew attention to the young Gurskaya.

The girl is invited to try herself in the famous KVN team. The start of her collaboration with Pelmeni was her participation in the MyasorUPka program. Viewers began to notice the comedian, and her popularity began to grow. Soon she joined the main team. The first performance as a full member of the group was the funny scene “When you have nothing to wear.” From that moment on, Stefa began starring in most of her team’s projects.

Realizing that she had reached the top in the comedy field, Maryana decided to move on, try herself in a new role, and in 2015 she left this popular show. She always dreamed of starring in the series, and she succeeded - 2 weeks after leaving “Pelmeni” she was offered a role in “Civil Marriage” on TNT. Looking at the charming and purposeful beauty, it becomes clear that this person will be able to make even the wildest dreams come true.

Childhood

Over time, their family moved to the Urals, to Kamensk-Uralsky. Little Stefa loved to go to the dentist (oddly enough), sing and, when it was warm, walk in the rain and jump in puddles.

She was always attracted to acting, from a very early age. In kindergarten, she was the only child who answered the question of the artists, who showed them a small performance, about what they call those who perform on stage. Then she was asked to go on stage and play a goose herself and was presented with a doll for this. At school, in the 2nd grade, she performed excellently as a bunny, also receiving a prize for this, and later became a regular participant in games in the school KVN.

Later she called this year and season the best, because in “Voices” she met many talented and interesting people, including Ilya Orlov, Sergei Farkhutdinov, Evgeny Kulikov and Elena Schlegel. As part of this creative group, she shone in many KVN special projects.

In 2012, she first appeared on TV in First League games in Kazan, reaching the finals. In September of the same year, she, along with “Plasticine”, participated in the Moscow filming of the humorous project “MyasorUPka”, the judges of which were members of the famous “Ural Dumplings”. Later she received an invitation to this show, known throughout the country.

Her debut performance in the new team in the holiday program “Women’s: - Right now I am!” On March 8, 2013, the sketch “Nothing to Wear” appeared, in which she, together with her future permanent partner Brekotkin, cheerfully and convincingly played the roles of spouses Lena and Dima.

It should be noted that at the very first rehearsal, Maryana enthusiastically became involved in the process of evaluating and selecting jokes, creating texts, reprises, and monologues. As a result, she was the only one of the girls (of which, besides her, there were 2: Yulia Mikhalkova and Ilana Isakzhanova) was included in the group of authors.

Other projects

She had no goal of losing weight. She wanted to get rid of tightness, uncertainty, dance and liberate herself. But during the course of the project, she lost almost 6 kilograms, was transformed and became the “face” of this creative association, promoting its ideas in commercials and video clips, demonstrating the effectiveness of this system by her own example.

In 2014, the actress accepted the offer of her longtime friends from the acrobatic duo “Jolly Roger” and began administering their performances. This duet was interesting to her because it united highly professional circus performers and built performances in an interactive format with the audience.

In 2015, Maryana, according to her, felt that she had reached the ceiling in the comedy field and left Ural Dumplings, intending to grow further in a new role.

In particular, she accepted the offer to join the jury of the UNACO festival. During this event, more than eighty employees of enterprises working in the oil and gas, construction and other fields presented their bright talents on the stage of the Elmash Cultural Center of Yekaterinburg. The girl noted that she was delighted with the performances and the warm atmosphere in the hall. The competition, held under the slogan “Victory! Creation! Success!”, completely destroyed her idea that only serious individuals work in factories.

In Yekaterinburg, at the “Uralets” site, she voiced, together with her former colleague from “Pelmeni” Dima Sokolov, the main characters of the grandiose ice performance “Secrets of the Snowman” - Mashenka and the Snowman.

The actress always dreamed of starring in the series. And, although she did not have any special connections, or even her own agent, she was soon lucky again - she received an offer to audition for the comedy “Civil Marriage”. More than a hundred professional actresses participated in the casting for her role, but they approved her despite the lack of acting education. This choice became undoubted evidence of the extraordinary talent of the Ural beauty.

In “Civil Marriage,” a comedy series about the everyday life of a young couple (Agatha Muceniece and Denis Kukoyaka), she played the role of Anya, a girl whose relationship with the opposite sex does not work out due to excessive independence. As Stefania admitted, before meeting her boyfriend Sergei Farkhutdinov, she herself was similar to her.

Personal life of Stefania Gurskaya

The actress loves cats very much and dreams of one day opening a shelter for homeless animals. She has a Scottish Fold cat named Cody at home. She follows her everywhere, and when the owner leaves for filming, she gets very bored and meows pitifully at the door.

In 2017, together with her chosen one, the girl vacationed in the Spanish town of Pineda de Mar, located on the Costa de Barcelona.

Stefania-Maryana Gurskaya now

Variety artist. Director of the Jolly Roger duet. Ex-star of the show “Ural Dumplings”.

Stefania-Maryana Gurskaya was born on January 9, 1992 in Lviv, Ukraine. The girl spent her childhood and youth in the city of Kamensk-Uralsk, then ended up in the city of Yekaterinburg. She graduated from high school there. While still at school, the girl performed in the team of the Cheerful and Resourceful Club, achieving good results at the local level.

Further, Gurskaya was a member of the “Voices” team, performing at festivals in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. As part of this team, Stefania-Maryana Gurskaya performed on television in the KVN Major League in Kazan. The producers of “Pelmeni” drew attention to the young actress in the city of Sochi, during the performance of the female duet “Plasticine”.

In September 2012, the duo was invited to the MyasorUPka program, and then to the main project. Stefania first appeared in the show “Ural Dumplings” on March 8, 2013 in the sketch “When you have nothing to wear” with Dmitry Brekotkin. Of the girls, besides Gurskaya, Ilana Isakzhanova and Yulia Mikhalkova-Matyukhina are participating in the project.

Since April 2013, Stefania-Maryana Gurskaya has been participating in the project “17/45” or “Fifteen to Six”. The project is a group of young boys and girls who are fond of modern dancing, promoting a healthy lifestyle, living under the slogan “Healthy Youth”.

Gurskaya received an invitation to “17/45” from “Pelmeni” participant Sergei Isaev, who always played sports and led a healthy lifestyle. She lost weight quickly, losing five kilograms in three months, which became very noticeable despite her short stature. Thanks to her participation in the “17/45” project, the artist maintains her physical shape and looks impeccable. Now Stefania is the advertising face of the project. The actress appears in commercials, video clips, dances, and participates in photo shoots, both alone and together with the creative team.

Gurskaya was also on friendly terms with circus performers from the acrobatic duet of the city of Yekaterinburg “Jolly Roger”. In 2014, he became their director, promotes, provides advertising and handles financing. During the Jolly Roger performances, not only the artists themselves, but also the guests participate in acrobatic sketches. The show uses interaction with guests, that is, the audience becomes its main participants. In addition to acrobatics, the program includes juggling, fun and funny performances.

Very often Stefania is invited to KVN games or other shows as a judge. I once had the opportunity to voice a princess in a children's cartoon. As of January 2019, the artist continues her creative career. Sometimes she participates in filming as a model.

What are the stars of the humorous project doing after “Dumplings”? We remember the artists who left the team quite recently and many years ago.

The last loss of the Ural Dumplings. Yulia spent six months contemplating leaving the team and listened to the entreaties of her colleagues. I made up my mind and said goodbye. “They asked me to stay, but I outgrew all of what they offered,” explained the beauty. And she moved on to stories about her upcoming plans: a sharp Internet project, a show with intellectual humor, a culinary program - Yulia takes on everything!

More specifically? Please. acts as the host of the new season of children's KVN - filming has already started, leaving the artist without free time. And although the artist dreams of a big family, she is not in a hurry to get married yet, putting creativity above love.

The breakaway couple changed the adjective in the name to a pronoun and with a welcoming “Your dumplings” set off on a solo voyage. Why? Myasnikov, who promised to clarify the situation, remains silent, so we have to be content with the banal “it’s become crowded” from his colleagues. Vyacheslav and Alexander tour Russian and European cities, practically without changing the format: all the same songs, jokes, skits, dialogue with the public. But a renewal is brewing: the artists have announced a farewell tour and are ready to embark on “grand plans.”

The main thing that the ex-producer of the team does is litigation with his former colleagues. Sergei both received compensation of 300 thousand rubles and lost, and was both a plaintiff and a defendant. In November, a former manager was involved in fraud - time will tell how this stage will end.

Now Sergei has his own business projects, but his main change is related to his personal life. The divorce from his wife after 20 years of marriage is behind him, and next to the showman is a new chosen one. And love, as you know, decorates: for the sake of the girl, Netievsky adjusted his diet, acquired healthy habits and took up running. As a result - minus 15 kilos and excellent health instead of the heart problems that were previously experienced.

Remember this name? Alena played with “Ural Dumplings” in KVN, remaining part of the team until the 00s - the collaboration was interrupted by the woman’s first maternity leave. Having become a mother, Tigleva left the stage, but 10 years later, by special invitation, she played a registry office registrar in the show “Hurray, Scholarship.” According to media reports, Alena’s main job is banking. And for the soul - photography: the ex-comedian invites residents of Yekaterinburg to stylish shooting.

The blonde with an unusual name and a memorable accent was on the show from 2013 to 2015. In two years with Ural Dumplings, Stefania-Maryana realized that she would not achieve more than stage performances and tours with this team. And she left - to nowhere. Gurskaya was lucky: after two weeks of unemployment, she found herself casting for the series “Civil Marriage,” which she successfully passed, beating 150 professional competitors.

So far, the comedy film is the only entry in Stefania-Maryana’s filmography. What the blonde is doing at the moment is a mystery: the ex-“dumpling” has retired from social networks, where she loved to shock with exciting pictures. A couple of years ago, Gurskaya was going to move from Yekaterinburg to Moscow with her boyfriend Sergei Farkhutdinov - maybe she was just taking up her personal life?
