Successful Russian actress and model with an elven appearance Sofya Zaika is a famous person of the Moscow beau monde. An attractive and talented girl became famous mainly due to the role of Marie Eugene in the sensational TV series "Mysterious Passion". The main stages of the biography of the sophisticated beauty and the daughter of a banker, her career and personal life will be discussed in this article.

In the world of finance

Sofya Zaika (photo above) was born on April 12, 1988 in the Russian cultural capital of St. Petersburg. The girl, as they say, was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her father, financier Pavel Zaika, is a fairly famous person. Currently, he heads the representative office of one of the most famous banks in Latvia in Moscow.

The first few years of secondary education, Sofya studied at a private school in Sosnovy Bor, Leningrad Region. Which institution she subsequently transferred to and where the certificate was issued is not known for certain. There is only authentic information abouthigher education.

Even during schooling, Sofya Zaika decided to follow in her father's footsteps: the sphere of finance was close to her. The girl entered the State University of St. Petersburg at the Faculty of Economics. However, she did not feel her vocation in the financial sphere of activity. On the contrary, in the process of studying economic "wisdom", the girl realized that it was too boring for her.

Thirst for self-expression

Creative inclinations manifested in Sophia from childhood. As a child with diverse interests, in parallel with secondary education, she:

• went to music school;
• trained in professional vocals;
• was fencing.

When, years later, a student who lost interest in economics faced the question of choosing a life's work, she decided to rely on creative activity. Sofya Zaika nevertheless received a diploma in finance, having come to the conclusion that in any direction of her career, higher education would not be superfluous.

After graduating from university, the young ambitious beauty went to the capital. Here she acquired the profession of a stylist.

Sofya mastered the features of this speci alty with such zeal and diligence that she attracted the attention of the famous designer Ulyana Sergeenko. The latter was so fascinated by the talented and diligent girl that, despite Sophia's lack of experience and young age, she invited her to work in her Fashion House. Zaika accepted the offer and began to apply the receivedskills in practice.

Subordination

When working with celebrities and models, it was important for the girl not to let herself be belittled. Therefore, she took care of the formation of her own worthy image and style in advance. In particular, Zaika introduced herself to everyone as Sofia Pavlovna.

This kind of subordination led to a respectful attitude towards her by those around her. The entire Moscow beau monde remembered her under that name. Zaika uses the same wording as a nickname when registering accounts in social networks. The most striking example is the girl's official Instagram page.

Elite society

Sofya quickly joined the capital's secular circle. She was regularly invited to various parties, which included parties that were held in Simach, where the girl took part in candid photography.

Being in the highest circles of society instilled self-confidence in the beauty. As a result of this, she decides to try to become an actress. This profession has long been desired for Sophia. But whenever she thought about this line of work, she was overcome by doubts about her own abilities.

A dream come true

In 2014, Sofya Zaika began her studies at the studio school at the Moscow Art Theater. The leaders of the course she entered were Igor Zolotovitsky and Sergey Zemtsov.

The acting profession especially attracted her with the opportunity to try on a variety of images. And also set each rolenew challenges ahead. Despite the experience of filming in various projects, Sophia still considers herself an aspiring actress. Not because he doesn't believe in his abilities again. But simply because the experience is still small.

Beautiful French

The debut of actress Sophia Zaika on the screen took place in 2015 in "Mysterious Passion". The series produced by Channel One was a film adaptation of the work of the same name by Vasily Aksenov, which tells about the legendary sixties - Vysotsky, Okudzhava, Akhmadulina and many other symbols of that era.

The names of real heroes were replaced by consonant combinations, but the prototypes of the characters were determined without the slightest difficulty. Actress Sofya Zaika got the role of the French movie star Marie Eugene in this project, the prototype of which is Marina Vlady.

Being at that time a first-year student at the Moscow Art Theater school, the young beauty was very nervous before filming - after all, she had to work on the same site with already well-known and experienced actors:

• Sergei Bezrukov;
• Philip Jankowski;
• Chulpan Khamatova;
• Yulia Peresild;
• and others.

But Sophia coped with her role perfectly well. Illustrious colleagues spoke positively about her work and highly appreciated the girl's talent. The aspiring actress overnight turned into a well-known and beloved artist by many viewers.

In one of the episodes of the series, Zaika sang a song in French. As later noted by her partners infilming, at that moment Sophia reminded Marina Vladi as much as possible.

Other works

After her debut role, the actress actively starred. Throughout 2016, projects with her participation appeared on the screens. Among the most prominent roles:

• Inna in the short story "Joseph's Dreams" from the movie "Petersburg. Only for Love";
• Senia in Viking.

Now she is filming in "Mayakovsky". In this film, Sophia plays one of the poet's beloved.

Relationships with men

There are noticeable gaps in Sofya Zaika's biography. The largest of them is the girl's personal life. In this matter, the beauty is very secretive.

According to rumors, after the artist moved from St. Petersburg to the capital, she had a whole series of novels with fairly well-known representatives of the stronger sex. Among them:

• Who is the DJ, he is Fedor Boomer (musician);
• Timofey Kolesnikov (fashion photographer from Moscow).

From this moment begins the most interesting stage of Sophia Zaika's personal life. In 2013, the girl had a fateful meeting with her future husband and father of her children, who is the head of Channel One Konstantin Ernst.

A year after they met, they began to regularly go out together. After a little more time, Sophia's rounded forms made it possible to accurately determine that she was pregnant. In 2016, Zaika gave birth to Ernst's first daughter. In mid-2017, the couple had another girl.
