Short biography of Sergey Ursulyak
In 1958, the future famous director Sergei Ursulyak was born in the family of a serviceman in Khabarovsk. Due to the specifics of the father’s profession, our hero’s childhood and youth were constantly moving across the Far East.
The boy showed particular interest in the world of theater and cinema because of his grandmother, who lived in the suburbs and constantly took him on vacation to various metropolitan theaters and philharmonic societies. That is why, immediately after graduating from high school, Sergei went to the capital of our country and the first time he entered the "Pike" at the faculty of Evgeny Rubenovich Simonov. And then there were Satyricon and several dozens of roles in eleven years of his life on the stage.
However, all the dreams of the young man were not occupied by the acting profession in the theater, namely by cinema and only in the directorial role. After two unsuccessful attempts to enter the All-Russian State Institute of Cinematography, Sergei was nevertheless able in 1990 to get to higher directing courses in the workshop of Vladimir Motyl. And in 1993, his diploma work "Russian Ragtime" brought the award "Kinotavr" and universal recognition.
Further professional work of Ursulyak is fanned by his indispensable achievements in the field of directing cinema, which is reflected in his unique filmography.
The personal life of our hero is marked by two marriages. The first wife of the master was actress Galina Nadirli. In this family union, a daughter, Sasha, was born. However, an office romance with Lika Nifontova on the stage of the Satyricon turned into an official marriage in 1986 after a mutual breakup with her previous spouses (Lika was also married to Yuri Nifontov, Sergei's classmate at the university).
In the second marriage, a daughter, Daria, was born, who, like her older half-sister, followed in the footsteps of her parents and became an actress.
