Russia's largest actor works hard to provide for two families
Russia's most numerous actor works extremely hard to provide for two families.
Photo: PhotoXPress.ru Evgeny Tsyganov is one of the most sought-after serial actors in the country. The series “” with his participation has just ended. Several more films will be released soon. The actor has just finished filming in Pskov, and will star in two more films in the fall. He manages to play in the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop theater and plans to stage a play there as a theater director. Despite the crisis, Tsyganov has a job. And he can still afford to refuse offers to host a corporate event or star in a commercial. The actor's agent assured us that even six-figure fees would not force Tsyganov to change his principles.
The TV program magazine found out how the 37-year-old father of eight children: former and current. Let us remember that a year ago Irina Leonova, who was pregnant with her 7th child. At the same time, in the summer of 2015, another actress, Yulia Snigir, learned about pregnancy from Tsyganov. The father of many children went to her.

Evgeny left 38-year-old Irina Leonova for 33-year-old Yulia Snigir. Photo: kinopoisk.ru Evgeny Tsyganov once admitted that at the age of 14 he understood: strangers cannot give correct assessments of a person’s actions - everyone only understands for themselves how best to live and act. Tsyganov made the decision to leave his common-law wife soon after he learned about Yulia Snigir’s pregnancy. Apparently, love turned out to be stronger than fatherly feelings. The past year has shown that even in such a seemingly hopeless situation, a compromise can be found.
ex common-law wife The actor remained to live in their apartment on Leninsky Prospekt. Irina manages to manage the children: they are always clean and neatly dressed, attend clubs and sections. Tsyganov’s parents help as much as possible in raising their grandchildren. Now actress Irina Leonova is preparing children for September 1, visiting school bazaars. The children's father transfers money for purchases to the card. Tsyganov and Leonova are growing up: 11-year-old Polina, 10-year-old Nikita, 7-year-old Andrei, 6-year-old Sofia, 5-year-old Sasha, 2-year-old Georgy and Vera, who will turn one year old in September.
“My parents and I are visiting Ira and my nephews,” Vladimir. “All her time is occupied with children and rehearsals at the theater.” Leonova’s relatives live in Tallinn, so they don’t come often. Evgeniy pays for the nanny and necessary expenses. The family is not luxurious, but it doesn’t need it either. If the actor is not busy filming, then on his days off he takes the children for a walk. As the Leonovs' neighbors told us, Evgeny gives the impression of a caring father: he never comes empty-handed (he enters the entrance with bags of gifts and toys), the children are happy to see him and literally never leave their father's side.
Before breaking up with Irina, Evgeniy said that his children have an amazing mother, and nannies appear in the family from time to time. He complained that because of him, Leonova traded her career for motherhood. Their romance began on the set of the film “Children of the Arbat”. Because of Tsyganov, Leonova divorced actor Igor Petrenko. 12 years later, Evgeniy had a new office romance.
New family

Fedya will turn six months old on September 9, but he is already actively traveling with his mother around Russia. The actress accompanies her beloved man on the set. In Pskov, work on the 10-episode historical film “Sofia” is being completed, in which Tsyganov plays Ivan III. During the day he was busy on the set, and in the evening the family went for walks. Julia, like a wise woman, tries not to leave Evgeni alone for a long time. Perhaps she’s bored, or maybe because she knows his temperament. After all, Tsyganov himself described himself in one interview as “a goofball” and shared his thoughts about his attractiveness to the opposite sex: “...We all want to love and be loved. You are a man, so in theory you should be attracted to women. There is still the concept of temptation...”

They came from the Tula region and rent an apartment in the capital to help their daughter with the baby when she is busy filming. Friends of the 33-year-old actress say that she is happy, and Evgeniy willingly babysits the baby in free time. Everyone hopes that Tsyganov’s throwing is behind him and he has finally made up his mind.
Irina Leonova is an accomplished actress and a happy mother of seven charming children. After breaking up with her husband, she did not give up, but, on the contrary, gathered all her will and returned to art again. She has a lot of fans who are waiting for new successful projects from the actress.
Irina Leonova became famous after the release of the film “Children of the Arbat” and the melodrama “Kuprin. Pit".
Childhood and youth
Irina Leonova was born on August 22, 1978 in the Estonian capital, Tallinn. Her creative inclinations manifested themselves with early childhood, the parents did not object to their daughter’s activities in a variety of circles. When Ira received her high school diploma, she announced to her family her decision to become an actress, and this message did not surprise them at all.
Irina left for Moscow, and in the same year she entered the famous “Sliver” acting department. She ended up in the workshop of one of the best teachers at the school, Viktor Korshunov. While still a university student, the girl appeared on the stage of the Maly Theater, because already in those years she stood out favorably against the background of her classmates.
After receiving her diploma in 2000, Irina was accepted into the Maly Theater on a permanent basis. Leonova immediately received roles in the classical repertoire, and was awarded several awards. The play “Woe from Wit”, in which she became Sophia, brought her victory at the “Moscow Debuts”. Then there was another award - the State Prize of the Russian Federation, for the production “Truth is good, but happiness is better.”
Movies
A cinematic biography of the young actress started in 1999. The actress made her debut in the film “We Have to Live Again,” and on the set she saw famous artists for the first time. The central heroine of this film was played by Anna Sinyakina, the role of her friend went to Leonova.
Two years later, Irina Leonova was invited to several projects simultaneously. invited her to play Clara in the film “People and Shadows: Secrets of the Puppet Theater.” In the feed " New Year's adventures"Leonova became Galina, in love with the main character Mikhail.
Then there was the project “Three Against All,” where Irina got a role in the episode. Three teenagers end up under the care of a distant relative and face a lot of difficulties. In the film “The Black Room,” Irina Leonova had the opportunity to reincarnate as Cleopatra, then again had a cameo role in the film “Poisons, or The World History poisoning", removed.
In 2002, Irina starred in the film-play “Woe from Wit” and played Sophia, already familiar to her. She was lucky enough to work on the same set with Gleb Podgorodinsky. Also in 2002, Leonova played one of the central roles in the detective film “A Lady with Glasses, with a Gun, in a Car.” According to the plot of the film, a young girl goes to the sea - this is how childhood dreams come true.
In 2003, Irina was invited to shoot the film “Hello, Capital!”, in which we're talking about O young man Seva Moshkin, who came to conquer the capital. He had only recently appeared in Moscow, and had already managed to make acquaintance with the famous director, who offered him a profitable collaboration. In parallel with this film, Leonova also starred in the film “The Best City on Earth,” which introduces the viewer to the life of the capital in the 70s.
In 2004, the actress played her most famous role. She became the main character Lena Budyagina in the film “Children of the Arbat”, in which, in addition to Leonova, the role went to,.
Another interesting project in Leonova’s creative heritage was the action film “Stargazer”, in which the role of the central character went to, and Irina played Elena. A year later, the actress was invited to film the film “It’s Not Harmful to Dream,” where she became her partner. According to the plot of the picture they faithful friends, switched bodies. Now they have absolutely new life, full of adventure. The distribution of this film was very successful, and the total collection amounted to almost four hundred million dollars.
Then there was a long break in the actress’s creative career due to marriage and the birth of children. Irina appeared on the set only in 2014, when she was invited to a project related to the work of Alexander Kuprin. There are several episodes in the Kuprin film, and each is dedicated to a specific work of the writer. According to the director's idea, the characters in the film are cross-cutting; they appear in different episodes of the project. Leonova got the role of Vera Sheina in the series called “The Pit”. This character appears in the writer Kuprin’s “Garnet Bracelet”.
Personal life
While studying at Shchepka, Leonov met, who managed to achieve her favor. They got married in 2000 and were married until 2004. During this time, they never had children, Irina was treated, but attempts were in vain. The couple divorced precisely for this reason. They do not maintain relationships at all; in public they behave like ordinary acquaintances. Their divorce process lasted quite a long time, but they managed to do it civilly, without breaking dishes and sorting things out.
The actress’s personal life changed on the set of the film “Children of the Arbat”, when she first saw actor Yevgeny Tsyganov. Feelings flared up immediately, and upon completion of filming they began to live together.

In this marriage, Irina finally experienced the joy of motherhood, and gave her husband seven children - three daughters and four sons. The birth of children forced Irina to practically leave the profession, and since 2005 she has not played in the theater or acted in films. The actress made the only exception for the Kuprin project.
Photo: Irina Leonova with children Irina was pregnant with her seventh child when she found out that her adored husband had a new love– actress Yulia Snigir. Tsyganov abandoned Irina before the birth of his daughter Vera. Leonova hoped that this was just a hobby, and her husband would return to the family. But this did not happen, and in 2015 the couple separated.
Irina Leonova now
After breaking up with her husband, Irina was left alone with the children. They own a four-room apartment, from which the actress is planning to move out. Leonova invited a nanny to care for the children, and she returned to her profession. She again appears on the stage of her native theater, and at the same time works with applicants who dream of enrolling in a theater institute. Irina teaches them acting and helps you choose a program for entrance exams. The actress can always count on the help of her parents and sibling Vladimir. They live in Tallinn, but very often come to see Leonova in Russia. They do not communicate with Tsyganov at all, and he, in turn, provides exclusively financial assistance to his ex-wife and children. It’s not possible to see the children; the actor works a lot.
Tsyganov's departure was a big blow and disappointment for Irina. She did not expect that he could do this to her and the children, because he always seemed to her to be quite decent. The children do not yet know that their father abandoned them.
In 2017, Irina Leonova appeared on the theater stage in the production of King Lear, where she played Regan.
The actress started thinking about moving; she felt completely uncomfortable living in her previous apartment. Here even the walls remember their love story, and it is very difficult for a woman to come to terms with the betrayal of her beloved. Irina Leonova already has an exchange option; she is planning to move to the city center with her children.
The actress never advertises her personal life and does not communicate at all with the journalistic fraternity. She is not registered on any social network, so news about her can only be read on the Internet, and her few photographs can be viewed there.

Just last week everyone was happy that in strong family actor Evgeny Tsyganov Replenishment is coming. His wife, actress Irina Leonova, is now carrying their seventh child, the baby will be born in two months.
However, in big family actors, not everything is as smooth as everyone thought. magazine "StarHit" it became known that Evgeniy left Irina and now mother of many children alone she is raising 10-year-old Polina, 9-year-old Nikita, 6-year-old Andrei, 5-year-old Sofia, 4-year-old Alexander and one-year-old Georgiy.
This information was confirmed by Tsyganov’s colleague at the Pyotr Fomenko Workshop theater, actor Thomas Mockus. According to him, the father of six children simply could not stand the family fuss and decided to give up everything.
“Zhenya and Ira are complex and creative people,” Thomas shared. - It can be hard for him. A pregnant wife, six children, work... He comes home - there is a lot of noise, everyone needs something... At some point Zhenya could not stand it and left. Now he lives here and there, he is generally not very attached to any particular place. Either with friends or on set, he works a lot. Periodically, of course, he comes to Ira to see the children. I hope that once the baby is born, they will make peace and Zhenya will return to the family. All of us in the theater really want to believe in this!”
The parents of the star of the series “Thaw” Eduard Evgenievich and Lyubov Viktorovna help Irina raise their children. They often take them to their place to babysit.
“Zhenya is a wonderful son,” says the actor’s mother. - He often brings children to us to babysit. I don’t know what kind of father he is, Irina knows better. He works a lot, of course, because he has to support his children.”
Indeed, to support so many children, you need to work a lot, which is what Evgeniy does. Now he is starring in several films at once, one of which is the thriller “Lake” by Kirill Serebrennikov, where Evgeniy stars with Konstantin Khabensky and Elena Lyadova.
While his wife retired long ago, devoting herself entirely to the children.
“I have no desire to advertise this,” she said after a short pause. - I want to live my own life. I haven’t been on stage or filming for a long time. All questions to Evgeniy, who is engaged in his wonderful creativity and does it with genius and talent.”
The love story of Evgeny Tsyganov and Irina Leonova
Photo frame from the film “Children of Arbat”
Evgeny Tsyganov rarely gives interviews and does not talk at all about his wife and children. That's why Woman's Day collected everything known facts about the actor’s personal life.
The story began, oddly enough, with filming: in 2003 they filmed the film “Children of the Arbat”, where Evgeny Tsyganov played the role of Sasha Pankratov, and Irina Leonova - Lena Budyagina. It’s interesting that at that time the actress had already been married to a colleague for three years Igor Petrenko. However, after a short time Irina files for a divorce and moves in with Tsyganov. And in 2005, the couple’s first daughter, Polina, was born.
Every woman sooner or later has to make a choice: career or family, and Leonova chose right away. The girl decided to give herself as much as possible to the child and practically left the profession. And this despite the fact that after successful roles in “Woe from Wit” and “Children of the Arbat,” the directors promised her a great future on the screen. There is no need to provide evidence of talent - in addition to her stunning appearance, according to her colleagues, she has rare artistic abilities, subtlety, inner nobility and genuine sincerity in her eyes. In addition, during her rather short career, Irina managed to receive one of the main awards - the State Prize of the Russian Federation.
Evgeniy played an important role in such a sharp change in priorities. He himself admitted in an interview that he told his future wife more than once that the main purpose of a woman is to give birth to children.
“When we met, she worked as an actress at the Maly Theater, and Putin hung medals on her chest. I probably ruined her career, although it seems to me that during the entire time we were together, we didn’t make a single film in which there would be a good role for her. At the first meeting, she said that she was tired of being an actress and wanted to become a producer. I said: “You fool, you need to give birth to children, but this has nothing to do with me.”
So Irina gave birth: a year after Polina, Nikita appeared (he is now 9 years old), three years later - Andrei, followed by Sofia and Alexandra, the youngest Georgiy is now one year old. All are children of Evgeny Tsyganov.
True, in 2014, unexpectedly for everyone, Leonova nevertheless returned to the cinema - she played Vera Nikolaevna in the TV series “Kuprin. Pit". But then she disappeared again. Now the actress is carrying her seventh child. It was in this position that Tsygankov left her.
According to rumors, Evgeny’s father Eduard Tsyganov said in one of his interviews that no children appeared in the marriage of Irina and Igor Petrenko for four years. Allegedly, Leonova even underwent treatment in order to give birth. And then, when she became pregnant from Tsyganov, she came to Petrenko and honestly told everything. Some even say that Irina gives birth so often to prove that she is not infertile.

Whether this is true or not is, by and large, none of our business. After all, no matter how hard the actors try to hide the details of raising children, it is still clear that they love them and try to give them the best. Perhaps it is precisely in order to earn money for this bright future that the actor refuses few roles - he acts both in the main roles and in very episodic ones. For example, this year the eight-episode series “Fartsa” was released on Channel One, where Tsyganov appeared in one of the most striking episodes, but did not say a single word. And this is after the super popular “Thaw” and “Battle for Sevastopol”!
Tsyganov, in principle, does not hide the fact that he treats cinema as a way of making money - and no lyrics. In one of the interviews, he described his perception of the work as follows: “You know, filming is a rather uncomfortable thing. In more than 30 degrees of heat, you put on full equipment, including padded jackets, hats with earflaps, and boots. And you are forced to run, fall, while you are covered with some kind of liquid mud. And then in your underwear in the cold at night in a tent you have to perform something... It’s difficult, inconvenient, and uncomfortable for you.”
Perhaps this is all: six children in a one-room apartment and the need to constantly remember that you no longer belong to yourself, but live for them, that you cannot drop everything and take a break, because you need to raise the baby to your feet - all this accumulated fatigue and forced the actor to move out of the apartment.
On the other hand, Evgeniy said in an interview that children can occupy themselves when necessary and do not require full attention. “I think kids are interested in me for the first fifteen minutes: wow, hi, look what we did here. It seems to me that they have a fairly bright and active life of their own, they don’t sit and think: oh, he left again.” In addition, Evgeniy believes that children educate themselves and learn by watching their father work.
Perhaps this approach is correct - giving the child freedom and the right to make independent choices from the first years of life. “They have a computer and they use it great. They simply have a choice: they can include Filya and Stepashka, or they can include something else. I don’t control, they already control themselves there. There is some other process there. They watch what interests them; they don’t watch what is not interesting to them,” says Tsyganov.
But suddenly now is the time to show masculine strength and support a woman who is now having a very difficult time alone.
After the scandal associated with leaving Evgenia Tsyganova from his unofficial wife Irina Leonova, many viewers stopped appreciating this guy as an actor, began to find fault with his acting, and began to notice that he, it turns out, always infuriated and irritated them a little. But, hand on heart, Evgeniy Tsyganov a very good actor, no falsehood, no pretense, everything is very clear and professional, everything is played to perfection. "Walk", "Peter FM", "Thaw", "Inadequate people" Anyone who has seen these films will never forget them.
I especially like the mini-series "Thaw", in him Evgeniy Tsyganov plays a brilliant cinematographer, a cynical heartthrob who takes fleeting romances lightly and, without mental anguish, abandons the girls who fall in love with him to the mercy of fate. Men look at the image created Evgenia Tsyganov in this series, and they admire how he twists and turns these girls so much? If only we could do that! Heroes who are negative 50-60% have always fascinated the public, because being good, decent, honest is boring, it is much more interesting to be selfish, send everyone to the taiga, steal, deceive, betray. Why do negative characters intrigue us so much? Yes, because we ourselves want to act like them. The neighbors from downstairs annoy us, but we remain silent, we don’t lash out at them, but the negative character doesn’t care about everything, he will go and pour a pot of spoiled soup on the heads of the annoying neighbors; we are tired of the other half, we tolerate it, we make efforts to save our marriage, and the negative hero gets a lover, lies to his wife, leaves a pregnant friend - does everything that we want to do, but are afraid of the condemnation of society, someone he is afraid of slipping up and not going to heaven, and some are simply tormented by remorse. But there are also decent people, like you and me, for example :)
All in all, Evgeniy Tsyganov not a 100% positive hero, he is somewhere in the middle. Who knows why he left his wife Irina Leonova, when she was pregnant with her seventh child. We can only guess and assume, but whatever the situation, this behavior cannot be called good. Someone considers it an inappropriate act to give birth to many children in our age, when there are so many methods to remain independent from little toddlers, but on the other hand, look at what beautiful children they have Evgenia Tsyganova And Irina Leonova. The girls look like their beautiful mother - with delicate, lovely features; The boys are big-eyed jackdaws, all like their dad. Judging by Instagram Evgenia Tsyganova, he sees children, spends time with them and, of course, loves what is going on in his head, only he knows. I only want one thing, that Evgeniy Tsyganov lived in harmony with himself, with his children and with his now ex-wife. How will things work out with his second wife? Yulia Snigir, time will tell, we will just wait for new interesting projects in which this talented actor will take part. And I would also like to wish you patience, strength, courage Irina Leonova, a woman at whom no less stones are now flying than at the husband who abandoned her.
Still from the series "Children of Arbat"
Evgeniy Tsyganov met my wife Irina Leonova on the set of the series "Children of Arbat", he was 25 , and to her 26 . Irina Leonova I was just divorcing my husband Igor Petrenko, from whom she did not have children, despite all her efforts. Igor Petrenko quit Irina Leonova because I fell in love Ekaterina Klimova.
On this photo Igor Petrenko With Irina Leonova
And this photo is from Instagram Evgenia Tsyganova, apparently, these two girls are his children - sons Andrey And Alexander.
Below, towards the end of the article, you will see many more photos of children Evgenia Tsyganova and his ex-wife Irina Leonova.
Children Evgenia Tsyganova: Georgiy, Alexander And Andrey.
In this photo you see a young Evgenia Tsyganova.
And these are the photographs Irina Leonova- first wife Evgenia Tsyganova.
Exactly 2 years ago, Evgeny Tsyganov left his wife Irina Leonova with seven children for the sake of pregnant artist Yulia Snigir. Yulia Snegir was Evgeniy’s colleague.
Without having time to leave one family, he immediately began to live with his new beloved.
Irina Leonova did not comment on the breakup and suggested that journalists find out all the details from Evgeniy. New wife Evgenia Yulia Snigir also gave birth to a baby for him.
Leonova herself communicates with her ex-husband only via SMS; he rarely sees the children. You can see Evgenia’s children more often, if only she wishes.
Irina has difficulty coping with children and agrees to any job. Leonova's colleague and friend, actress Maria Poroshina, spoke about how she lives ex-wife Tsyganova two years later
Maria admires Leonova and her ability to deal with children smartly.
“Ira, like an octopus, manages to straighten everyone’s clothes and comb their hair. And at the same time, calmly, clearly, like a radar, it snatches the really necessary information from all this noise. But Ira works successfully: she plays at the Maly Theater!
“We recently met at our mutual friend’s place, and it was very interesting to watch how Ira took the kids out of the car one after another. The children are noisy, loud, running around, all at the same time asking their mother about something,” said Maria.
Maria Poroshina herself is a mother of many children: a year and a half ago she gave birth to her fourth child. A happy mother of many children is not at all against having a fifth baby.
The woman loves children very much and is always amazed at how her colleagues manage to combine raising children with work in theater and cinema. We all know that parenting takes a lot of effort. Not everyone manages to combine work and raising children well.
Let us remember that Leonova and Tsyganov broke up in 2015, when the actress was pregnant with her seventh child. Irina did not comment on the breakup in any way and sent journalists with all questions to her husband. The man went to his colleague Yulia Snigir, who also gave birth to his baby.
