Beautiful but little-known granddaughters of Soviet movie stars: how they live and what they do

Although Sophia is still far from the glory of her famous work, remembered by the public as both an inimitable comedian and a deeply dramatic actor, she is perhaps better than others on our familiar list at modern audience. Evstigneev’s granddaughter decided to continue the acting dynasty, and in 2017 she graduated from the Moscow Art Theater School. Sophia’s mother, actress Maria Selyanskaya, is Evstigneev’s daughter from his marriage to actress Lilia Zhurkina, and her father is actor Maxim Razuvaev.

In the filmography of the young actress there are already 15 films, however, she still does not get the main roles.

Anastasia is the daughter of the son of the great Soviet actor Innokenty Smoktunovsky Philip and Olga Butskova, who worked as a costume designer in the theater. Philip Smoktunovsky also at one time tried to become an actor, but failed, could not stand comparisons with his father, and eventually became a translator.

But Innokenty Smoktunovsky’s granddaughter was still not afraid of comparisons with her grandfather and decided to devote her life to the theater. There are no major roles in the filmography of Anastasia – most often these are episodic roles, but Smoktunovsky’s granddaughter is filmed quite regularly. But his relationship with relatives on his grandfather’s side is not the most ideal. So, Anastasia’s grandmother accused her own granddaughter of selling information to the media about the family. Anastasia called a relative’s claims baseless.

Maria has perhaps the most important pedigree. She was born from the marriage of Kirill Kozakov and Alena Yakovleva. From his father’s side, his grandfather is the famous actor and director Mikhail Kozakov, and from his mother’s side, Yuri Yakovlev, the famous Ivan Vasilyevich and Ippolit.

However, Maria met her first grandfather only at the age of 14, because her parents divorced when she was born, and her father did not participate in raising his daughter for a long time. But with Yuri Yakovlev, Maria was very close to childhood. The granddaughter of legendary actors graduated from the Shchukin Higher Technical School and serves at the Moscow Satire Theater. Viewers could also see her as the host of the weather forecast. Maria is married to musician and actor Ivan Zamotaev, they raise their daughter Ivanna.

The granddaughter of the star of the movie “Camp Goes to Heaven” also decided to continue the family business and link her life with the cinema.

But then she managed to master acting at VGIK and starred in several films. She has also dated her famous grandmother and mother, actress Irina Lachina, but Maria has had little solo success so far.

Polina was born in the family of actor Alexander Lazarev, Jr. and translator Alina Ayvazyan. Her grandparents are one of the most famous and beloved couples of Soviet cinema, Svetlana Nemolyaeva and Alexander Lazarev.

At first, Polina wanted to devote herself to music, since the family did not at all support the idea of ​​continuing the acting dynasty, suggesting that the famous surname is a great responsibility. However, genes still wreaked havoc – Polina entered GITIS, then ended up in the Vladimir Mayakovsky Theater, where she went on stage with her grandmother and even shared a box with her. Polina’s filmography is also regularly updated with new projects, although she also gets minor roles so far.

Polina was born in the acting family of Konstantin Raikin, the son of the legendary Arkady Raikin, and Elena Butenko-Raikina. Was it possible in such a family not to get carried away with creativity? Barely! Polina has been dancing since childhood and even voiced the cartoon “Chucha” as a child. Arkady Raikin’s granddaughter graduated from the Shchukin Theater School and performed in the Satyricon troupe, whose father is the artistic director. In recent years, Raikin has also taught. She is married to choreographer and actor Renat Mamin.
