Olga was born in Donetsk, into an intelligent family. Dad was a civil engineer, mother worked as an economist. The grandmother also took a lot of care of her only and beloved child.
When Olya was very little, a gymnastics coach came to their kindergarten group. He immediately noted the special plasticity of the future star and secured a meeting with her parents to invite them to enroll the girl in a sports school. They agreed. And daily training with strict discipline began. Olya also made progress at school - she studied with excellent marks. When the girl was eight, dad was transferred to work in Kyiv, where he took the whole family.
The capital opened up new opportunities for the girl. Her mother immediately took her to the Albina Deryugina Olympic School, where she was accepted into a rhythmic gymnastics class. Training three times a day and the prospects of becoming a professional athlete led Olya to the title of candidate master of sports.
But the girl was in no hurry to choose sports as her main dream. Her abilities were much broader, and my mother understood this.
Once upon a time, Olga’s mother dreamed of becoming a ballerina. She managed to instill in her daughter a love for this type of art, and when she invited her to try herself in ballet, Olga easily agreed. In 1988, Lomonosova entered the Kiev Choreographic School and soon became one of the brightest students there.

In her final year, Olga was noticed by the director of the Stuttgart Ballet, which was touring in Kyiv. A talented student was offered a place in the German ballet troupe. Olga agreed, but first she had to finish her studies for another whole long year, and before that she had to have a good rest in Miskhor.
Every year, the Satyricon troupe also rested in Olin’s favorite place in Crimea. The girl’s acquaintance with the actors led to a strong friendship. And now she is already going to Moscow - at the invitation of the guys who became close during their summer vacation.
Olga stayed with actor Alexei Yakubov and his wife. The couple often took the aspiring ballerina with them to the theater, to noisy and cheerful acting gatherings and, of course, to rehearsals.
Vladimir Mashkov then staged “The Threepenny Opera” and, without meaning to, won the heart of young Olya. She was already ready to give up everything and stay in Moscow - just to be closer to the actor.
But the mature and wise Mashkov treated Lomonosova more like a father. Mashkov was married, and besides, he was preparing a large-scale premiere, which took a lot of time.
When the holidays ended, Olga left Moscow in tears, deciding to give up her life in Kyiv, ballet and rush back - to become an actress and finally win Mashkov’s heart.
Biography of Olga Lomonosova
The future famous actress was born on May 18, 1978 in Donetsk, Ukrainian SSR, making her parents very happy. From this date the biography of Olga Lomonosova began.
The girl was the only and beloved child in the family of her father, a builder, and her mother, an economist. But despite this, the parents were unable to devote much time to Olya, since they worked a lot. Therefore, the girl was raised by her grandmother during her childhood.
From an early age, the girl’s fate was influenced by her mother’s unfulfilled dreams. As Olga later said in an interview, her mother always dreamed of dancing, but it didn’t work out in her life, so Olya made her parent’s dreams come true in her life.
At first, Olechka’s parents took her to ballroom dancing. But her childhood came to an end when a gymnastics coach looked into the kindergarten and noticed the girl’s amazing flexibility. Since then, Olya entered the world of rhythmic gymnastics.
At the age of 8, the girl’s family moved to Kyiv. There, the little girl continued her training as a gymnast, but at a higher level, ending up in the Olympic reserve school with Irina Deryugina. Hard training every day and iron discipline helped Ole become a candidate for master of sports.
Despite the girl’s enormous achievements in sports, at the age of 12 her parents decided to send her to ballet school. After graduating, Olya tried to enter the Vaganova School in St. Petersburg, but she was not accepted. But she was gladly accepted into the Kiev Choreographic School.
Olga also achieved considerable success in school. In her last year, the director of the Stuttgraz Ballet drew great attention to her, inviting her to continue her studies in Germany. At first the girl agreed, but life turned out differently.
While relaxing, the girl met the artists of Satyricon. Together with them, she flew to conquer Moscow and fell in love with this city, forgetting about Stuttgrat. My mother supported this decision, but my father was against it, deciding that the girl would have more opportunities in Europe.
In 1997, Olga Lomonosova found herself in Moscow. The most talented girl was accepted into the ballet troupe of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater, with the condition of losing a little weight. She worked here for a short time.
She was not given significant roles, and later the girl again gradually began to gain weight and was not allowed on stage. Olga became disillusioned with this theater and went to work at another - the Imperial Russian Ballet, where the girl was appreciated.
However, in the end, nothing worked out with the ballerina’s career due to injury. While sledding, the girl fell on the ice and seriously hurt her leg. The terrible thing is that this happened on tour in France, when Olga finally received her first leading role, replacing the soloist in the production of “Ruslan and Lyudmila.”
Until the end of the tour, Lomonosova performed courageously, overcoming the hellish pain in her leg. Returning to her homeland, she had to spend too much time and effort to restore her leg. During that period, Olga rethought the meaning of ballet in her life.
During this period, she decided to change her type of activity, trying herself as an actress. Olga applied to a couple of educational institutions and eventually entered the Shchukin School, where she began to study acting.
The first school year was very difficult for the girl. It seemed to her that she was studying at the acting school in vain; nothing was working out for her. “I was the first candidate for relegation,” recalls Olga. However, by the end of the first year, the girl firmly decided that her place was here and that she would not leave here, no matter what the cost. Already in 2003, Olga Lomonosova played the main role in the graduation performance “Beautiful People”.
The famous Russian actress Olga Lomonosova was born in May 1978 in Donetsk. Her parents had nothing to do with the world of art, but it was her mother’s unfulfilled dreams that influenced the girl’s future.

As Olga admitted in an interview, her mother once passionately dreamed of dancing, but she was not destined to become a dancer. With the birth of her daughter, she had the opportunity to touch choreography through her daughter.
At first, the baby was sent to ballroom dancing, but had to give it up in favor of rhythmic gymnastics: the coach, who noticed Olya’s extraordinary plasticity in kindergarten, insisted on her going in for sports.
Despite the fact that Olga showed great promise in sports, her parents decided to send her to a ballet school. Later, Lomonosova entered the Kiev Choreographic School, and achieved considerable success in the dance field.
Having received an invitation to work in the Stuttgart ballet troupe, Olga at the last moment refused to travel to Germany. The reason was her love for a Moscow actor, and Olga decided to move to Moscow.
So Lomonosova ended up in the capital in 1997, where she easily got a place in the ballet troupe of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater. Soon she began to have problems with the chief choreographer, who believed that Olga was too large for a ballerina.
The girl moved to another theater, but she was still not destined to make a career in ballet: a leg injury during an unsuccessful sledding put an end to serious dancing lessons.
During the rehabilitation period, Olga rethought the meaning of ballet in her life and decided to try her hand as an actress. So she ended up within the walls of the Shchukin School, where she learned the intricacies of acting under the guidance of Rodion Ovchinnikov.
While still studying at Pike, Olga actively took part in theatrical productions. Lomonosova's graduation work was the production of "Beautiful People", and her performance was noted by Konstantin Raikin.
Having become a certified artist, Olga was enrolled in the troupe of the Vakhtangov Theater. Two years later she moved to the Stanislavsky Theater, where she performed until 2006. The actress periodically collaborates with Another Theater, but her main activity is related to cinema.
Lomonosova first appeared on screen in a cameo role in the film “The Death of Tairov.” This was followed by work in such TV series as “My Prechistenka” and “Children of the Arbat”.
The actress gained nationwide popularity after the release of the series “Don’t Be Born Beautiful,” in which she flawlessly played the cold, selfish and beautiful businesswoman Kira Voropaeva. However, during filming, Olga managed to give her character more humanity, and this only worked to her advantage - many modern business women saw themselves in the image of Kira.
Such a bright role also had another side to the coin: after the series, directors offered Lomonosova similar roles of calculating and bitchy women. The actress had to make a lot of efforts to change the existing stereotype.
Among the most striking works with Olga’s participation are the melodrama “Love on a Knife’s Edge,” the thriller “Cheesecake,” the mystical detective story “St. John’s Wort,” and the melodrama “Two Love Stories.” The series “Angel on Duty” became very successful at the box office, in which Lomonosova got one of the central roles.

However, the familiar Kyiv, the measured schedule at the choreographic school, her parents and friends quickly brought her back to earth. She decided to first finish her education and become a ballerina, and only then throw herself into the pool headlong.
Olga graduated from college a year later and, of course, never went to Stuttgart. Her dream was a theatrical stage and a film career. And the ballerina went to Moscow again - this time having already packed her things.
She got a job as a ballet dancer at the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Theater and applied to all theater universities, but only entered “Pike.” But - the first time and - bypassing the second round. They never met Mashkov again—Lomonosova settled into a new, delightful student life.
At one of the parties in the dorm, she met the subtle, intelligent Zhenya Ryashentsev, the son of the famous poet who wrote songs for “Midshipmen” and “Musketeers”. The pleasant young man quickly charmed the beauty. Less than a year later, they decided to get married.
In the Ryashentsev family, Olga is still remembered with warmth. They say that the girl was talented and smart, economical and intelligent. When, after a year and a half of marriage, the son came with the news of the divorce, Lomonosova’s fathers-in-law were sincerely upset. However, they did not interfere in the affairs of the young people.
Olga's successes in ballet
Olga could have become an excellent gymnast, but things turned out differently. At the age of 12, on the advice of friends, her mother enrolled her in ballet. As a former gymnast, the girl was rejected from the Leningrad Vaganov School, but she easily entered the Kiev State Choreographic School, where she studied on the course of Valentina Sulegina. Photos of Olga Lomonosova from those years convinced her that she could have a future in ballet. The director of the Stuttgart Ballet, which was touring Kyiv at the time, saw the talented student and offered her performances in Germany. He guaranteed her tuition at the Stuttgart Choreographic School and a job in the troupe after graduation. But here again a twist of fate: Olga, after graduating from the choreographic school in 1988, already intended to go to Germany, and before that she decided to go to Miskhor, where she met the actors of “Satyricon” N. Berezhnaya and A. Yakubov. And, having gone to Moscow to visit them, I fell in love with the capital. My father did not like this changeability, but to my mother, closer Moscow seemed calmer than more distant Germany.
Lomonosova's first steps in Moscow
Having moved to Moscow, Olga had to look for work, and she turned to the Musical Theater. Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko. However, the chief choreographer said that he would hire her if she lost five kilograms. I had to go on pills. Subsequently, the actress recalled the terrible and risky methods of losing weight available in ballet. She was able to lose weight quickly, came to the choreographer and was accepted, despite the fact that she almost fainted immediately.
It was even more difficult ahead. Olga had not worked at the Musical Theater for even a year when she moved to the Imperial Ballet of G. Taranda, however, she did not stay there for long. Having been injured on tour in France, future actress Olga Lomonosova decided to give up ballet.

Studying at a theater university
For Olga Lomonosova, ballet remained a dream. She obviously wouldn’t have turned out to be a second Plisetskaya, so it was necessary to look for a new field. It was then that one of her ballet friends convinced her that she had dramatic talent. The next year I had to submit documents to theater universities in the capital. It seemed to her like a pure adventure. However, the girl with a ballet bearing and funny pigtails attracted the attention of R. Ovchinnikov, who formed a course at the Shchukin School (Nonna Grishaeva, Ekaterina Guseva, and many other famous actors also studied here). The applicant read “The Peasant Young Lady,” but he asked her to read something else, and she came to the next round with Chekhov’s monologue “In the Ravine,” which completely captivated the teacher.
The first two years of study were difficult, because she did not yet feel comfortable in this role. And the realization that she had finally found her calling came only in her third year. It was at that moment that she began rehearsing the play “Beautiful People” and at the same time she first got a role in the film “The Death of Tairov”, which began the filmography of Olga Olegovna Lomonosova. She was lucky enough to work on the set with great masters - Mikhail Kazakov, Alexey Petrenko, Alla Demidova.
Personal life of Olga Lomonosova
Both the professional and personal life of Olga Lomonosova turned out to be tortuous. The first marriage did not last long - Olga did not live even two years with Evgeniy, who was involved in show business. While still studying at Pike, Lomonosova met Pavel Safonov, a theater director. For a long time, their relationship was limited to simple friendship. Pavel helped the young actress stage a piece of Turgenev’s “Beautiful People,” which allowed her to reveal her theatrical talent. Vladimir Etush really liked it, who recommended developing the excerpt into a full-fledged performance.
The relationship between them developed and gradually grew into cohabitation, and some time later their daughter Varvara was born.
The beginning of Olga's career in theater and cinema
After graduating from the Shchukin School in 2003, Olga Lomonosova joined the troupe of the theater. E. Vakhtangov, from where she left in 2005. At the same time, in 2004 she received an invitation to play in the theater. Stanislavsky. However, at the same time, offers to act in films began to appear, she had to refuse theatrical roles, and two years later Olga left this theater.
The real filmography of Olga Lomonosova begins in 2004, when she was able to attract attention from her first roles. Here are her first successful roles:
- Lucy from the series “Children of the Arbat”;
- Martha from the thriller “One Shadow for Two.”
Her first serious fame was brought to her by the TV series “Goddess of Prime Time,” where she played news anchor Alina Lavrova.
On the wave of success in cinema
Lomonosova became even more famous in the television series “Don’t Be Born Beautiful,” where she got the role of Kira Voropaeva, who competed with Katya Pushkareva, the main character. Filming of the next episodes and the premiere of the series took place simultaneously. And even so, the rating of this series after the first weeks of broadcasting turned out to be incredibly high.
After the series “Don’t Be Born Beautiful,” films with Olga Lomonosova began to be filmed continuously. So, in 2006, she played one of the main characters in the TV series “9 Months” - a surrogate mother Natasha, carrying a child for an Italian family and at some point realizing that she could not part with him.
Almost at the same time, Olga herself learned the joy of motherhood when she and her second husband Pavel had a daughter, Varya. But even pregnancy and childbirth did not interfere with her film career. Thus, in the comedy “Night Sisters” (directed by A. Muradov), Olga managed to play the role of nurse Brusnichkina while she was six months pregnant. She had to specifically select a scenario where the heroine did not need to be nervous, jump and run.
The actress continued her active work in cinema even before returning from maternity leave. Here is a list of films in which she starred only in 2008:
- actress Natasha in the thriller “Cheesecake”;
- businesswoman Kuptsova in the comedy “Weekend Romance”;
- notary Vinogradov in the thriller “Long-Term Consequences”;
- editor-in-chief of Krylova magazine in the action-packed film “Five Steps on the Clouds”;
- Nazarov’s doctor in the television series “St. John’s Wort” (by the way, after the release of this series, Lomonosova finally managed to get rid of associations with Kira Voropaeva).
Film roles after 2009
It is not so easy to achieve popularity, but it is even more difficult to stay at the top. With her subsequent work in cinema, Olga Lomonosova tirelessly sought to prove her own worth, which was helped by the diverse characters she played. Her heroines are different: vulnerable and tough, touching and decisive.

If in the series “Aerobatics” her heroine Natalya Stebeltsova is a calm, self-possessed conductor, then in another series “Angel on Duty” the surgeon Kostina played by her is endowed with supernatural abilities, and in the melodrama “Woman’s Kingdom” we see the successful and decisive director of the advertising agency Nikitina. In 2012, Lomonosova played in the melodrama “Masha” (directed by A. Prazdnikov), wonderfully creating the image of a woman who devoted her life to raising her son, for which she had to forget about her personal life and work like a gray mouse in several jobs. But the appearance of a beloved man in her life makes her miraculously transform. In recent years, more films have been made such as “Orca,” “Black Cats,” and “45 Seconds.”

Actress
Meanwhile, Olga was not an ideal student. During the first two courses, the girl rather searched for herself and each time asked herself the question: is she even where she should be?
My acting skills were not going well; several times I saw my last name Lomonosova on the list of expelled people and could not understand myself.
In her third year, she finally managed to come to terms with her profession. The fact is that director Pavel Safonov came to the course. He immediately chose Olga for the main role in his production, seeing in her something that no one noticed.
At the same time, the actress received her first film role, which only strengthened her confidence. Lomonosov’s student graduated from “Pike” and was no longer a poor student. Upon graduation, she received an offer to work at the Stanislavsky Theater.
Lover
When Safonov first noted Lomonosova’s charisma, they had no idea how their acquaintance would end. Before falling in love and creating a happy family, Olga was destined to go through several serious novels, each of which turned out to be a lesson for her.
In addition to the official marriage, this cute blonde has several more novels. Gossips, for example, claim her connection with actor Dmitry Ulyanov. They say that the romance came out of a long friendship and forced the young people to talk about marriage and even about children, and then suddenly suddenly faded away. Moreover, he didn’t leave a trace: during joint filming, years later, the actors behaved as if they had never looked at each other with loving eyes.
Another love of the beauty was dedicated to Alexander Samoilenko. He then owned a restaurant business and could afford to beautifully and tenderly conquer the heart of his beloved.
And for some period of time his inspiration was enough. Lomonosova really became interested in the tall, handsome man, but this love also ended, but a strong friendship remained.
