People's Artist of Russia Muravyova Irina Vadimovna is known to millions of moviegoers as the resilient adventurer Lyudmila Sviridova, the provincial Nina Solomatina, and as engineer Nadya Klyuyeva who soared above the ordinary. Fate was destined for her creative path. In the theater, Irina Vadimovna was lucky to play with Faina Ranevskaya, Rostislav Plyatt, Varvara Soshalskaya. She starred in films with Clara Luchko and Yuri Yakovlev. For the role of Lyudmila in the film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears", the actress, who fell in love with the Soviet audience, was awarded the State Prize in 1981. Russia highly appreciated her work, she was awarded many government awards - Orders: "Honor", "Friendship", "Badge of Honor", "For Services to the Fatherland".

Telling about herself, Irina Vadimovna always emphasizes that the main thing in her life is not cinema, but theater.

Childhood, youth

Irina Muravyova, "the most charming" woman, was born in Moscow on February 8, 1949. Her father, military engineer Vadim Sergeevich, metmother Lydia Georgievna during the Great Patriotic War, freeing her from captivity. The Muravyov family had two daughters (Irina is two years younger than her sister).

Despite the forced publicity, our heroine, in essence, is a very modest person. The biography of Irina Muravyova contains many understatements. It is felt that the actress treats her loved ones with respect and love and respects their wishes. For example, we could not find the name of her sister in any source of information. This speaks of the delicacy and upbringing of our heroine.

While studying at Khamovnitsa secondary school No. 589 (information accidentally got on the Internet), the girl had a dream - to become a teacher of elementary grades. I liked to study, the motivation to study was present. Strict upbringing reigned in the family, consonant with house building: the sisters were taught to respect work, to be responsible for loved ones and for their actions, the cult of knowledge was supported in every possible way.

Mom Lidia Georgievna, as the actress recalls, was not only a wonderful hostess, “sheathing” her daughters, she carefully monitored their “moral character”, tried to ensure that they were always “supervised”. In particular, if the sisters went to the skating rink in Luzhniki, then the mother was there to prevent strangers from “molesting” their girls.

Choice of profession

However, already at the age of 15, Irina Muravyova was forced to “correct” her dream: the humanitarian orientation prevailed over her general educational efforts (although she studied diligently), a creative nature woke up,first, the “attraction” of literature, and then the theater, affected. Irina's guide to the unknown world of the stage was "My Life in Art" by Stanislavsky - her reference book. The girl actively participated in the performances of the school drama club.

CDT Drama Studio

The acting path met the school graduate with thorns. Twice (in 1966 and 1967) Irina tried to enter Moscow theater universities, and for two years in a row she failed.

In the Shchukin school, the future star was recommended to "forget about art." (By the way, then Natalya Gundareva entered the Pike, whom Irina, as a theatergoer, had seen earlier in performances.)

Perhaps such failures would break someone, but not the heroine of our article. Could the biography of Irina Muravyova not be connected with the theater? The actress herself answers this: “No!” She knew and felt that she would be an actress and that she could handle it.

Considering her last setback, she decided to "gain mastery" by choosing the drama studio at the Central Children's Theater. Here the competition was not so high, and besides, they recruited mainly young people from Moscow.

Central Children's Theater

After four years of study, the girl was accepted into the theater troupe in 1970.

Irina Muravyova made her stage debut in the role of the boy Fedya Druzhinin, a character in the play "2001" (based on the play by S. Mikhalkov). The repertoire of the CDT actress was quite extensive and varied: Lyubov Shevtsova from the Fadeevskaya Young Guard, Viola fromShakespeare's "Twelfth Night", Shura Tychinkin from "Sombrero" by Sergei Mikhalkov, the image of the Crow from Andersen's "The Snow Queen". So, on the roles of talking birds, tomboy schoolboys and romantic schoolgirls, the creative potential of the actress increased by leaps and bounds.

After several years of theatrical work, it became noticeable to others that on the stage with the meticulously tactful and deeply intelligent Irina, a metamorphosis invariably takes place: she turns into a stream of living energy.

But at the same time, she always had her own special, reverent attitude towards the young viewer. Ending the next performance deeply individually, the actress always said goodbye to her young audience in her own way. She just asked them to remember her.

And it really happened. Young viewers, who have already become adults, after many years, greeting her, reminded her of this.

Family life

The family biography of Irina Muravyova is not like the biographical bestsellers of many domestic artists, which, like stripes on a street crossing, pass: wedding, divorce, wedding, divorce…

In 1973, she married the director of the Central Children's Theater Leonid Eidlin, with whom she subsequently lived in "consent and love" for 40 years, raising two sons: Daniil (b. 1975) and Evgeny (b. 1983).) It remains only to wonder how, despite the creative work, Irina Muravyova provided the children with comfort, upbringing, and proper supervision. Husband Leonid Danilovich, a graduate of the directing department of GITIS, jokingly boasted:“The main thing is to be able to choose a wife!” Their family, where mutual respect has always reigned, can be called February: Leonid Eidlin was born on February 2, son Evgeny - 6, Irina Vadimovna - 8, son Daniel - 15.

Death of husband

Talking about their close circle, unfortunately, we have to speak in the past tense: not so long ago, Irina Muravyova lost her husband (the death of her husband came suddenly on February 16, 2014 at the age of 77 due to a stroke).

Their children grew up in a warm, creative family environment and followed in the footsteps of their parents. That's probably how it should be. The eldest son Daniel Eidlin graduated from the School of Arts (Blois, France). He is an actor in one of the Parisian theatrical studios and at the same time acts in serials. Married, has a son.

Behind the shoulders of the youngest - Evgenia - the production department of GITIS. The children of Muravyova Irina love her and treat her with great respect. They are unanimous that her best role is the role of mother. Irina maintains a warm family relationship with her sister. They are very friendly and help each other.

First movie role

But back to creativity. How did the filmography of Irina Muravyova begin? We will agree that in order to “purify the genre”, when answering this question, we will not take into account the television performances of 1972-1973, where Irina Vadimovna played many roles: Natasha in Konstantin Khudyakov’s social drama “Page of Life”, Bonki in the musical Tale of Pancho Panchev "The tale of four twins, a sixteen-year-old girl in a play about high school students, "Moscow Holidays" by Andrey Kuznetsov.

However, the "key" toactress Irina Muravyova found roles of film images that would bring her all-Union cinematic fame in the television series. We mean the role of the novice painter Zinaida Baglyaeva from the television series Different People, which is similar to future film roles.

Note that the first feature film with her participation was Samson Samsonov's detective "Purely English Murder" (in which the actress played the role of Suzanne Briggs). The film premiered in December 1974

Work in the Moscow City Council Theater

Having worked for 7 years at the Central Children's Theater, Irina Vadimovna, of course, felt the limits of the children's repertoire, so in 1977 she moved to the Moscow City Council Theater. At the same time, while working in it, the actress entered the following year, and five years later she completed the course of O. Ya. Remiz at the State Theater Institute. Lunacharsky.

Actress Irina Muravyova in the theater on the street. Bolshaya Sadovaya played a number of memorable roles, one of them is Grushenka in the drama based on the novel The Brothers Karamazov by F. M. Dostoevsky. She also played in Emil Braginsky's comedy The Room, Valentin Chernykh's play Abuse of Power, Pavel Khomensky's comedy Halfway to the Top, Rustam Ibragimbekov's play House on the Sand.

Moscow does not believe in tears

The invitation of Vladimir Menshov to star in the feature film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears" was a rare success. It is necessary that the director, when he was watching TV, remember the game of Irina Vadimovna in the teleplay! To get to star in a "cool" film with a decent budget … Butwhen Irina Muravyova first saw the film, she doubted, got upset and burst into tears. It seemed to her that everything that her heroine Lyudmila did on the screen was terrible, vulgar. (The natural reaction of a truly talented person is to doubt.)

Menshov's film was destined for great fame, and the heroine of our article, perhaps, outplayed everyone in it (this is our subjective opinion). Moreover, the film was recognized and appreciated in the world. In 1980, the Americans awarded the director an Oscar (though in absentia). And US President Ronald Reagan, on the recommendation of his advisers, watched it eight times before the first meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev in order to understand the “mysterious Russian soul.”

Filmography of Irina Muravyova

Immediately after the resounding success of "Moscow …", Irina Vadimovna began work in the musical melodrama "Carnival" by Tatyana Lioznova. In 1981, millions of viewers saw its premiere.

Main role, crazy workload. It practically depended on Irina alone to what extent life would be “breathed” into this film. Happened. Grown together. The audience saw: this actress can do anything. The 17-year-old provincial girl Nina Solomatina, played by the 31-year-old actress, was more than convincing.

And four years later, a new take-off followed - Gerald Bezhanov's film "The Most Charming and Attractive" and the role of Nadia Klyueva. Finally, she almost caught up in age with her heroine (she is also thirty years old). Melodramatic plot, wonderful ensemble cast (Alexander Shirvindt, TatyanaVasilyeva, Vladimir Nosik) ensured the success of the film. However, Irina Muravyova played a key role in it.

Films then followed one after another (Irina was actively filming until the 90s (in those years, the country was in crisis in the film industry as well). Ironically, this happened exactly when the actress's potential reached its highest However, in spite of everything, the directors invited her to act in those difficult times. Among her works in the 90s, the following roles can be distinguished: Evgenia (melodrama "This Woman in the Window", directed by Leonid Eidlin), Galina Kadetova (melodrama L. Kvinikhidze "Artist from Gribov"), the role of Ksyusha's mother (Alexander Pavlovsky's comedy "Marshmallow in Chocolate"), Vera's nurse (TV series "With New Happiness!" Directed by L. Eidlin).

Now Irina Vadimovna is removed rarely and selectively. Irina Muravyova is quite critical of scripts and modern cinematography. She chooses films, responding to the proposals of the directors, according to some of her internal principles. Perhaps this is justified: there is no need to "spend money" on random films. Among her film credits in recent years are Anna Semyonovna from Elena Zhigaeva's comedy The World's Best Grandmother (2010), an episodic role in Vladimir Tumaev's comedy The Chinese Grandmother (2011). Both of these roles were awarded prizes at the VIII Film Festival and at the Nika Festival, respectively.

Maly Theater

Muravieva is a person with a harmonious combination of modesty, tact and dignity. She is truly a versatile actress, she can handle everything. When will sheBecause of the undercover intrigues in the theater of the Moscow City Council, they tried to impose irrelevant, gray roles, Irina Vadimovna told the director very clearly that her talent did not match his directing and left.

Since 1993 she has been working at the Maly Theatre. Irina dreamed about this: to fully show the talent of a dramatic actress. Spectators go "to Muravyov". She presents her images to them - the landowner Lyubov Ranevskaya with her sense of beauty, with her blooming cherry orchard, a symbol of renewal and unification, Irina Arkadina from Chekhov's The Seagull, Evlampia Kupavina in Ostrovsky's Wolves and Sheep.

The actress really lives the theater, is devoted to it, loves it immensely.

Faith

The issue of faith by Irina Vadimovna is not discussed. She believes because her parents believed, because their parents believed before them, because this is a natural chain of succession for the Russian Land, which should not be broken. Once her grandmother supplied her father, seeing him off to the Patriotic War, with a prayer, sewing a sheet with it into the lining of her tunic. And Vadim Sergeevich returned from the front, returned without a single wound …

Irina was baptized immediately after birth. In 2003, the actress played the role of parishioner Timofeevna in L. Eidlin's 12-episode film The Savior Under the Birches. The author of this telenovela in 12 chapters - the husband of Irina Vadimovna - conveyed to the audience a lively and vivid story about the life of the church parish. The performance of Irina Vadimovna in it was warmly appreciated by the audience, she is qualified as a "confession of kindness", "a poignant movie" that finds "a response in the soul".

Bright actresstends to indifferently endure "praise and slander" and believes that the secret of a woman's happiness is in obedience, meekness, humility, however, on the condition: if you get married early.

Conclusion

It is easy and pleasant to write an article about such a bright and talented person. Photos of Irina Muravyova are familiar to everyone. The Russian people appreciate her excellent acting work, her wonderful films.

What can we, her viewers, tell her? Probably, what I really want to convey from the bottom of my heart: to express deep human sympathy in view of the death of her husband Leonid Eidlin, in a Christian way to wish Irina Vadimovna to endure this blow, and then continue her worthy and bright life to the delight of children, grandchildren and everyone kind people who appreciate her talent.
