One of the stars of the Pyatnitsa TV channel, Yulia Minakovskaya, is a young talented theater and film actress with a worthy filmography and awards from various festivals.

Charming blonde devotes a lot of time to charity work, participating in special productions for people with disabilities.

The hard way to the job you love

Yulia Minakovskaya (nee Reshetnikova) was born in Tula in 1986. Mom worked as a veterinarian, father was engaged in his own business for the production and sale of furniture. The girl was taught art from childhood, so she graduated from the local college named after Dragomyzhsky, where she perfectly mastered playing the piano and musical notation.

However, the girl herself dreamed of a career as a dramatic actress, and for this purpose, after graduating from school, she went to Moscow, where she made an attempt to enter the famous Shchukin school. Yulia Minakovskaya failed her first attempt, but did not give up and decided to take the exams at the Moscow Institute of Culture andart.

She successfully passed the competitive selection and began to study at the workshop of N. Polyakov, simultaneously gaining knowledge at the Vakhtangov Theater, where she took private acting lessons.

On big screens

Already in 2007, the young actress Yulia Minakovskaya, whose photo has not yet flashed on the pages of glossy magazines, made her debut in her first full-length feature film, and the famous filmmaker Andrei Konchalovsky acted as director. Together with the first persons of the national cinema - Alexander Domogarov, the sisters Arntgolts and Irina Rozanova - she played in the film "Gloss", where she acted as a secretary.

Later, Yulia focused on working in the theater, but continued to act in films and television from time to time. From 2007 to 2014, she played small but bright roles in the television series Hot Ice, Univer, Kiss the Bride, Missing.

In 2016, viewers could watch the acting skills of Yulia Minakovskaya in the comedy series “Marry Pushkin”, in which Alexandra Bortich played the main role. The actress also tried her hand at the melodrama genre, playing in Sergei Borchukov's film Heart Failure.

Theatrical prima

After graduating, Yulia Minakovskaya focused on working in the theater, but the freedom-loving girl did not seek to get a permanent place in any particular troupe. She played a lot in productions of the Taganka Theater, the Meyerhold Center, the Vysotsky Center andother well-known creative teams.

In 2013, the girl becomes the laureate of the festival of theatrical art "Left Bank", having received the main prize in the nomination "Best Actress". The jury members thus highly appreciated her work in the play "Dandelion Wine", where Yulia Minakovskaya masterfully conveyed the inner world of the main character.

Recently, Yulia decided to settle down and stopped wandering around the capital, becoming a permanent member of the Electrotheatre troupe directed by Boris Yukhananov.

Nevertheless, the actress continues to participate in projects that are interesting to her. Among them is the unusual play "Touch the Sun", staged especially for the visually impaired. Here, the audience perceives what is happening on the stage exclusively through hearing and touch - ordinary viewers are blindfolded.

Private life

Julia lives in a happy marriage. Together with her husband Alexei Minakovsky, she is raising a little daughter, Vasilisa, who was born in 2016.

In addition to being active on the stage of the theater, Yulia brightly manifests herself as a presenter on television. On the Friday channel, she hosts the General Cleaning program, which is very popular with the audience.
