Biography of Dzhigurda
Nikita Dzhigurda was born on March 27, 1961 in Kiev. He grew up in a family of hereditary Zaporozhye Cossacks. In addition to Nikita, two more sons were born in the family of Boris Dzhigurda and Yadviga Kravchuk - Ruslan and Sergey.
Childhood and youth
During his school years, Nikita was fond of the work of Vladimir Vysotsky. As a teenager, he broke his voice while singing the songs of a Soviet bard.
It is worth noting that by that time of his biography, he had already mastered playing the guitar. His teachers were his father and brother Sergei. In addition to music, Dzhigurda was fond of sports.
He was a professional canoeist, becoming a candidate for master of sports and champion of Ukraine in rowing.
After receiving the certificate, Nikita became a student at the local Institute of Physical Education. However, after the first year, he decided to get an acting education, in connection with which he entered the Shchukin School.
An interesting fact is that when Dzhigurda was about 20 years old, he was being treated in a mental hospital with a diagnosis of hypomanic psychosis. This disease resembles mania, but in a milder form.
People with this diagnosis are constantly in high spirits, which can be accompanied by irritability, aggression and increased activity. A similar condition in humans can last for about one week.

After graduating in 1987, Nikita Dzhigurda began working at the Moscow Drama Theater. After about a couple of years, he moved to the Ruben Simonov Theater. After another 2 years, the man began performing on the stage of the theater "At the Nikitsky Gate".
When Dzhigurda was 26 years old, he first appeared on the big screen, playing Asker in the film "Wounded Stones". After that, he starred in several more films, receiving secondary roles.
In 1993, Nikita tried himself as a screenwriter and director, filming the erotic thriller "Reluctant Superman, or Erotic Mutant", where he got a key role. Along with filming a movie, he was fond of music. By the time of his biography, the artist had recorded about 15 albums and collections, often re-singing Vysotsky's songs.
In total, Dzhigurda released about 40 discs and shot 6 video clips. It is curious that many of his songs were based on the verses of Russian poets.
Nikita's real acting fame came after the premiere of the drama "Love in Russian". The success of the tape was so great that in subsequent years 2 more parts of this picture were removed.
In the new century, the artist starred in 10 films, but the audience still remembered him for the role of Viktor Kulygin in "Love in Russian". In 2011, he was offered to host the program “Neither light nor dawn”. After that, he was the host of the program "Crazy Russia, or Veselaya Dzhigurda", which aired in the period 2013-2014.
Scandals
Nikita Dzhigurda is one of the most scandalous and outrageous Russian celebrities. He often attends various television programs, in which he often behaves in a defiant manner and even uses profanity.
In the summer of 2017, the man, along with his wife Marina Anisina, participated in the “Family Album” program. The case of the inheritance of business woman Lyudmila Bratash caused a great resonance. The woman was engaged in air travel and was the godfather of Nikita and Marina.
After her death, Bratash left a multimillion-dollar fortune to Dzhigurda, which was contested by the deceased's sister, Svetlana Romanova. As a result, many proceedings followed regarding who owns Lyudmila's inheritance. This whole story was repeatedly covered in the TV show "Let them talk."
In early 2017, a petition appeared on the Internet, addressed to the Minister of Health of Russia - to send Dzhigurda for compulsory treatment.
In this regard, the actor decided to voluntarily be examined by a psychiatrist to prove that he is "a normal, brilliant, sexy great Russian artist."
Personal life
Nikita's first wife was actress Marina Esipenko, who later went to the famous bard Oleg Mityaev. According to Dzhigurda, they lived together only for the sake of the desire to have a child. As a result, they had a son, Vladimir.
After that, the man lived in a civil marriage with the poet Yana Pavelkovskaya, whom he was 14 years older. It is curious that their first meeting took place when Yana was barely 13 years old.
Having matured a little, the girl agreed to live with Nikita. In this union, the couple had boys - Artemy-Dobrovlad and Ilya-Maximilian.
In 2008 Dzhigurda married the Russian figure skater Marina Anisina. Soon they had a boy Mik-Angel-Christie Anisin-Dzhigurda and a girl Eva-Vlada. After 8 years of married life, Marina filed for divorce, explaining her act by her husband's inappropriate behavior.
