Nina Ruslanova herself does not know in which family she was born. At the turn of 1954-1946, she was literally found as a baby on the street in her native Bogodukhov, Kharkov region. The girl was assigned to an orphanage, where she chose her own date of birth - January 5, 1945.
The name of the baby was given by the official in charge of orphanages. Nina became Ruslanova because in those years many were impressed by the talent of the famous singer - Lydia Ruslanova.
As the girl grew up, she was assigned to one or another orphanage. She has been to five in total. In each of them, Nina found something to her liking and soon decided that she liked most of all to be an actress of local amateur performances.
However, none of the teachers supported her dream to enter the theater. The path of orphans born in the war and post-war years most often lay in a vocational school. There, in the construction department, Nina went after school.
The longer she studied, the more clearly she realized: she doesn’t like it! And more and more often she mentally returned to her childhood dream, to her favorite pastime. But the little orphan only had to dream - for the time being, Nina, often urged in orphanages (because of her blond hair, she was called German and beaten), did not believe in herself.
Therefore, having received a diploma, she honestly worked for a whole year as a painter - in her specialty. And only then went to Kharkov. After all, there was the nearest theater institute.

Leonid Filatov, Konstantin Raikin, Anastasia Vertinskaya and many other famous artists studied on the same course with Ruslanova, but even here the teachers singled out Ninochka, a gifted and diligent orphanage girl.
She lived up to expectations: in the first year she learned Russian, got rid of the Ukrainian accent, straightened her speech. And here is the result: after graduation, the young actress was waiting for three theaters - Vakhtangov, Sovremennik and Taganka. She chose the first one and went on this stage for fifteen years in order to shine there again and again in a variety of roles, to master new roles and each time appear before the audience with a new one.

Once Kaidanovsky came to visit her and said that he wanted to be her brother. To do this, as he read somewhere, you need to cut your hands, pour some blood into a cup and drink. They performed a ritual and until the end of the actor's life really supported each other, like relatives.
It was he who, as a student, offered Ruslanova to play Gertrude when he got the role of Hamlet. She laughed and laughed it off: “Sasha, what kind of Gertrude ?! I'm a plasterer!" But he insisted. Nina turned out to be a magnificent queen, who soon won the heart of a physics student.

Later, the joint daughter of Ruslanova and Rudakov, Olesya, will call dad the most gallant man in the world and assume that he looked after his mother beautifully.
Well, when they had already agreed to get married, he took his beloved to Grodno to introduce her future mother-in-law. She was distinguished by her imperious disposition, and she pierced her gaze so that a person felt uneasy.

By the way, Nina's fame brought connections rather than money. The house finally has interesting things bought from speculators, as well as outlandish products. Their daughter recalls that once the refrigerator was full of black caviar sent by grateful fans to the actress from Astrakhan.
But then there was no money even for bread. You can’t eat much caviar without it, so the whole family naturally felt sick from the delicacy that they had to eat.
But in the 90s, the marriage, which went through many trials and culminated in the birth of a common daughter, Olesya, was terminated. Nina blames herself for what happened. The actress believes that she could not save the relationship because of her harsh nature and directness, which not everyone will like.

Biographies famous actors in many ways they are similar: an intelligent family, often artistic, acting education, congenial friends, a company of creative people ... Almost all actors, looking back, always remember with gratitude their parents and family, who appreciated their talent and helped them succeed in life. Nina Ruslanova could only rely on her own strength and won, challenging the fate of the orphanage.
Nina Ruslanova, as they say in the West, is a self-made man, a self-made person. A two-month-old girl, thrown to the Bogodukhovsky orphanage in the Kharkiv region, life path was determined in advance: an orphanage, mastering a working specialty, work and a place in a hostel, professional growth, experience, getting an apartment, and if you're lucky - a family and a career.
An employee of the orphanage gave the foundling the name of the superstar of that time - the singer Lidia Ruslanova, the girl came up with the name herself, gave the patronymic traditional for the 45th year, and Ninochka determined the date of birth as Stalin's Constitution Day, December 5. On this day, there was always a holiday in the orphanage and they were well fed. In addition, in honor of the holiday, a concert of children's home performances was held, where the girl could shine.
After the orphanage - a vocational school, where Nina received a working profession as a plasterer in 1960, but did not want to devote herself to construction, but instead became a student at the Kharkov Theater Institute, which in itself was the fulfillment of the cherished dream of any girl, and even more so a graduate of a vocational school . But this was not enough for Ruslanova. Despite her success, after studying for two years, she moved to Moscow, where she entered the Shchukin School.
From that moment on, her life story began to resemble the usual biography of an actor - her fellow students were B. Galkin, A. Vertinskaya, I. Dykhovichny, A. Kaidanovsky, K. Raikin; the course was conducted by V. K. Lvova. Already in her student years, she was able to show her talent - it was no coincidence that Ruslanova turned out to be so in demand that she was offered a job by the best Moscow theaters - Sovremennik, Taganka, the Vakhtangov Theater, to which she gave more than fifteen years. In addition, she appeared on the stages of the Ruben Simonov Theater and the Mayakovsky Theater.
But be that as it may, the theater does not give the actor national fame. Nina Ruslanova's first acquaintance with cinema happened in 1967, when she was still a student - the unnamed role of a bride in love with a Red Army soldier ("Return"). We can say that since that time she has been filming virtually continuously. Her filmography includes more than 150 films, which could not but bring her the widest fame. But the point, perhaps, is not in quantity, but in the fact that the actress succeeds in a variety of female images - from "habalka" to "real Soviet woman", and each time she manages to find such a trait in her heroine, which becomes close to almost any woman. In Soviet times, she created memorable images in many films that have become popular, which were seen by tens of millions of viewers: "Heart of a Dog", "Tomorrow there was a war "," Do not shoot at white swans "," Shadows disappear at noon "," Gypsy "," Athos "," Be my husband "," Short meetings ", and many others. She worked with Andrei Mironov, Leonid Kuravlyov, Evgeny Leonov, Evgeny Evstigneev, Evgeny Simonova...
Although many Russian actors"lost" in the nineties, Nina Ruslanova remained in demand and popular. In modern Russian cinema, she is known for many popular films, the last of which was the Russian horror film "Viy".
The motherland appreciated her work - Nina Ivanovna is a laureate state awards Ukrainian SSR and BSSR, Honored Artist of the RSFSR and People's Artist of Russia, winner of four Nika awards. Ruslanova managed to maintain demand in the difficult 90s, but often in society, demand also turns into a negative side.
Demand for labor was replaced by demand for scandal. “Times were harder, but not meaner” - it seems that the classic said this precisely about our era - a housemate, a TV journalist, is convinced that an elderly woman mutilated his car, which costs 3 million rubles. The amount of damage, according to the victim, who filed a lawsuit, is 150,000. Nina Ivanovna claims that this lawsuit is only a pretext, the goal is her apartment worth 30 million. This scandal significantly undermined the health of the actress - several times a week she has to go to the doctors.
Time has an indisputable property to dot the "i": the ill-fated BMW will crumble, a TV journalist will remain somewhere in the archives of memory, but Russian cinema, whose bright figure was, is and remains Nina Ivanovna Ruslanova, will not disappear.
