Childhood and family of Yuri Kuznetsov
Yura was born in Abakan. Dad worked in the police, was an officer. The boy knew firsthand about this profession since childhood. Dad's comrades visited their home more than once. Mom did not work, she took care of the house and raising children. Yuri had three sisters. Due to his father's service, the family often had to move.Yura's hobby during his school years was the theater club; he enjoyed going on stage. He really enjoyed receiving applause. The actor himself says that he is “hooked.” After the school drama club, he enrolled in a club that was organized at the regional drama theater.
Even in those years, he decided for himself that he would grow up and become an actor. After school, he entered the Vladivostok Pedagogical Institute of Arts, where he studied at the acting department. During the entrance exams, Yuri read Vasily Tyorkin.
The beginning of Yuri Kuznetsov’s career: first roles in the theater
For several years the young actor worked in the local theater, then there was a theater in Khabarovsk and Omsk. Kuznetsov considers these years to be a real school. Provincial theaters managed to stage up to seven or eight premieres per season, where all the actors were involved. It happened that I had to go on stage twice in a day in different performances. In such theaters, hack work is simply impossible.By profession, Kuznetsov is not only a theater actor, but also a film actor. That's exactly what it says on his diploma. He tried himself as a film actor at the age of thirty-seven, starring in “Torpedo Bombers,” where he played the hero Fomenko. Another significant film in his film career is “My Friend Ivan Lapshin,” which was directed by Alexey German. In this film, the actor played the role of the head of the regional police department.
Thanks to his work in these two films, Yuri finally became famous. They often began offering him roles, although they were all minor.
Soon the talented actor was invited to the Leningrad Comedy Theater. There, over ten years, he played many roles, including “Clean Waters of Kitezh” and “Mad Money.” Yuri had to live in the theater for a year, until his family arrived in Leningrad (St. Petersburg), and he was given an apartment on the outskirts of the city. The actor left this theater in 1996. He just felt bored there, it seemed like he was suffocating.
Arriving in the northern capital, Kuznetsov began filming even more often. His heroes were policemen, bandits, unhappy lovers or noble fathers. The roles were varied, but they were always performed by very talented people, which was the reason for Yuri’s popularity.
It should be noted Kuznetsov’s work in the film “Brother”. He played the good-natured and touching “German”. Another interesting role was played by the actor in the film “Moscow Evenings.” He was a sad and thoughtful investigator.
Yuri Kuznetsov in the TV series “Cops”
When Kuznetsov received an invitation to work in the television series “Cops,” he could not even imagine that he would stay in it for many years. He got the role of police lieutenant colonel Petrenko. It should be noted that according to the script, his hero did not have the nickname “Fly Agaric”. One of the actors accidentally “awarded” him with it as a joke. However, the screenwriters and director liked it, as a result of which this nickname was introduced into the film. Very soon the actor was not called anything other than “Fly Agaric”; even passers-by who approached the now popular artist thanked him specifically for his role as “Fly Agaric”. This series also starred Oscar Kuchera, Evgeny Dyatlov, Anastasia Melnikova, Alexander Lykov, Sergei Selin and others.A dark streak in the life of Yuri Kuznetsov
At the beginning of filming, Yuri treated the work as a temporary part-time job, as something short-term. But the project was very well received by the audience, so it was decided to extend it for years. The cast, according to Kuznetsov, was simply wonderful; all the guys were professional, talented actors.
New films by Yuri Kuznetsov
Time passed, and the actor decided not to play in crime series anymore. As Kuznetsov says, he’s tired of playing catch-up shooters. From an acting point of view, such work simply became uninteresting to him. Initially, the “Streets of Broken Lanterns” project was conceived and developed by Alexander Kapitsa. They started making quality films, but then everything changed a lot. At first the episode was filmed in seven days, then in six, and so on.Among his latest works in big cinema, Yuri Alexandrovich liked his work with Pavel Lungin in his film “The Tsar”. Kuznetsov played Malyuta Skuratov there, coping with the role perfectly. The image he created does not frighten the viewer. His Malyuta is a professional, the creator of the power structure under the tsar, but not an evil maniac.
Yuri Kuznetsov today
The actor continues to star in new and new projects. Much today depends on channels. It happens that filming of a particular series is about to begin, but then it turns out that the money has not arrived, and you have to wait for the channel’s decision. 
The actor is often invited to festivals, where he comes with his youngest daughter. So at a film festival called “Amur Autumn”, which took place in Blagoveshchensk, Kuznetsov was on the jury together with his daughter. “Literature and Cinema” is a Gatchina festival where the artist handed out prizes and read Brodsky’s poems.
Personal life of Yuri Kuznetsov
The actor divorced his first wife Valentina when his daughter Natasha was already an adult. They studied at the same institute and got married in their third year. Later they worked together in the same theater. Valentina played mainly the main roles, while Yuri played more of a supporting role, often without lines. Everything changed when they moved to Omsk. In the Omsk Theater, on the contrary, Yuri got leading roles, but his wife’s career in Omsk did not work out.The actor met his second wife in Moscow. This happened when, on one of his trips to the capital, he helped a woman from a nearby hotel room. Her son was sick and needed to be carried to a taxi. At that time, the actor was in his second month filming the film “Defector.” They have been together ever since. She fell in love with him after watching the film “Point of Return,” in which Kuznetsov played a courageous aircraft commander. The actor's wife's name was Irina. The marriage produced a daughter, Alexandra. It was 1995. Yuri and Irina got married when their daughter was six years old. Moreover, they got married in a small church.

Yuri Alexandrovich was left without his beloved wife, whom he always called “his happiness.”The actor has a friendly relationship with his daughter. He considers her a gift from fate. They usually spend their weekends together, attending theater premieres. Sasha starred in several episodes in those films where Yuri Alexandrovich starred. She decided that she would not become an actress, because she saw how much strength this profession takes from her father.
Yuri Alexandrovich cannot imagine life without reading. There is a large library in his office. He even goes on trips and filming with a book. He has had this love since childhood. There were almost no books in my parents' house, so I had to borrow them from the library. Throughout his life, Kuznetsov carried with him the feeling of happiness from “communication” with a book.

Salary 300,000 rubles per month. Sounds good. In general, the level of a top manager of a large company. To earn so much these days, you don’t have to work in an office and be a big boss. You just need to film yourself, edit a cool video or edit a photo, and then post it on YouTube or Instagram. This is exactly how many successful bloggers live today. But how did they get to this point of life and what do they need to get likes, subscribers and money? Let's find out now.
Alexey Stolyarov, fitness blogger:“On YouTube I talk about my Instagram, on Instagram I talk about YouTube. And that's how it develops. And I've been doing this for two years. And at the beginning, like any business - and this is exactly a business - it was in the red. And it took a lot of time to even break even..."
In blogging, like in any other profession, patience and hard work make the difference. Choose a topic, work hard, publish beautiful photos, videos non-stop and tell stories that can interest people. Bloggers who manage to attract the attention of the public become interesting to brands. They are offered to advertise and test different products. Labor, of course, is rewarded.
Alexey Stolyarov, fitness blogger:“Now it has grown into quite serious amounts. To 300,000 rubles, something like that. I now have sponsorship contracts, which have already completely bound me.”
300,000 per month is not the limit for a successful blogger. If the number of subscribers is more than a million, earnings can reach the corresponding figure. Yura and Lisa are together both at work - both successful Instagram bloggers, and in life. This is the main theme of their short sketches - the wisdom of relationships. For the modern viewer this goes down with a bang.
Yuri Kuznetsovsky, Elizaveta Shatilova, Instagram bloggers:
It is very important that such advertising be native. That is, it corresponded to the blog. According to the latest research, the millennial generation (20-29 years old) and generation Z (people under 19 years old) have a negative attitude towards targeted advertising on social networks. Towards aggressive. They say: we go to social networks to communicate with our friends, and not to watch advertising.
There are, however, among modern blogging stars those who work the old fashioned way. They maintain a page on LiveJournal, where all this once began. Oleg Makarenko, or Fritz Morgen, is read by about 40,000 people every day. For him, this is, first of all, an opportunity to express his position, and not to make money. After all, the prospects of the format are not so much in the money, but in the fact that over time everything and everyone will go to blogs.
Oleg Makarenko, blogger fritz morgen:“A blogger, in essence, is a separate TV channel or, if you like, a publishing house. That is, it turns out to be much more effective. A content blogger will make the same quality content 10 or 20 times cheaper. Plus you need to remember about feedback. How does a typical media outlet work, from a TV channel to a newspaper publication? They published the article and forgot about it. Not so with a blogger. The blogger types the article and reads the comments. And by reading the comments, the blogger learns. And subsequently he understands the issue much more deeply.”
Another advantage of this profession of the future is that, in principle, anyone can master it. Of course, by setting a clear goal and taking into account the successes and mistakes of experienced colleagues.
Life teaches people nothing - skeptics would say, looking at how over and over again dozens of deceived sponsors demand a refund from bloggers. Giveaways on social networks have recently become especially popular. Ksenia Borodina, Olga Buzova and many other artists traditionally fit into such stories, guaranteeing sponsors “live” subscribers, and subscribers - expensive prizes.
However, not all pranks actually end in a happy ending. For example, Olga Buzova recently became the main character of a high-profile scandal - the TV presenter was accused of fraud of 12 million rubles and was planning to be prosecuted, but, fortunately, everything worked out. Today, famous blogger Yuri Kuznetsov faces legal action.
Kuznetsov is one of the most popular Instagram Viners, whose audience is almost 2 million people, and the number of views of each video exceeds 2.5 million. Recently, Yuri decided to hold his own giveaway, found sponsors, and then everything went according to the traditional “bad” scenario...
“This is a story about how a prankster blogger, out of touch with reality, drowned out by popularity with likes and views, decided to cheat sponsors who sent him more than 8 million rubles to his card. The initiative was on his part, and 120 people took part in the competition. According to the agreement, Yuri had to bring 100 thousand subscribers to everyone,” one of the sponsors told StarHit.
Only after a few days it became clear that Kuznetsov would not be able to fulfill his promises. “During the entire competition, which lasted more than two weeks, agents constantly wrote to him that with such dynamics he would not be able to fulfill the volume. However, Yura ignored and assured that everything was fine. And when the day of the draw came, it became obvious that the required number of subscribers would not be reached. Instead of resolving the situation peacefully and sending the sponsors a refund - which is a standard procedure in such situations, Kuznetsov simply kept the money for himself and blocked the sponsors,” continues one of the bloggers who suffered from the fraud.
The minimum cost of a giva was 70 thousand rubles. The number of people who took part in it was 130 profiles, including backup ones. The total budget of the competition was 8-8.5 million rubles, of which the prizes were 4 iPhone XS and cash prizes worth about 50,000 rubles. However, neither the prizes, nor even the money, ever found their winner.
Now the deceived sponsors are waiting for the blogger to get in touch with them and to resolve the scandal peacefully. Otherwise, they are ready to file a complaint with the police. “Yura is flying away somewhere. It is not yet clear for what purpose. Some wanted to meet with him, perhaps he decided to leave before the circumstances were clarified, so as not to compensate anyone for the amount,” the victim concluded.
