She was only 18 years old when the film "Voroshilovsky shooter" was released. The image of Katya Afonina, the granddaughter of the protagonist, played by Mikhail Ulyanov, turned out to be surprisingly harmonious for Anna Sinyakina. The girl who survived the tragedy in the film wanted to feel sorry for, support, say some important words. Shooting in the film by Stanislav Govorukhin left a mark on the soul and heart of young Anna Sinyakina, and she always remembers working with Mikhail Ulyanov with special warmth.

Bright childhood

Anna Sinyakina was born in 1981. Thanks to her parents, she was directly associated with art from childhood. Dad Yuri Sinyakin even took his daughter with him to exams at GITIS, where he studied with Boris Alexandrovich Pokrovsky, a famous director. True, little Anya once got so worried about her dad that she could not stand it and made a short speech. She stood up and announced to the entire audience that she would eat the shoes of the commission members if they did not stop scolding her dad. Anna Sinyakina's mother often brought her daughter to the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Theater, where she served in the choir.

Her childhood was bright and happy, filled with light and simple joys: huts built with her cousins right in the apartment, climbing trees in a dacha outside Moscow, swimming and riding horses, which, as Anna says, they "stole" for this purpose …

Despite the constant presence of the theater in the life of Anna Sinyakina, she never considered the profession of an actress for herself. The girl loved mathematics and literature, was engaged in arts and crafts circles and in sports sections. Her passion for the guitar led Anna Sinyakina to a music school, and then to the Gnessin School, where she studied with Grigory Gurvich, Tamara Lukyanchenko and Igor Makhrov. Anna has the warmest memories of the school: the teachers touchingly took care of their students, were always attentive to trifles and wondered if the young students went to bed on time and what they ate for lunch.

Having received a diploma, the girl was slightly confused, not imagining what she would do next. And she entered GITIS, having entered the course of Valery Garkalin. It was he who taught the student to think and make independent decisions. It is very difficult to overestimate his influence on his students. He knew how to support and defuse a tense situation with a joke.

Path in the profession

For the first time, Anna Sinyakina starred in a movie in 1988 in the film by Karen Shakhnazarov "Full Moon Day", and her second work was filming in "Voroshilov Arrow". The young actress met her on-screen grandfather Mikhail Ulyanov during the audition.

Stanislav Govorukhin for a long time could not decide on the actress for the role of the granddaughter, and therefore left the final decision to Mikhail Ulyanov. The audition turned out to be difficult, Anna Sinyakina managed to cry only once in the scene of her granddaughter returning home after the rape. The director was nervous and clearly unhappy. But Mikhail Ulyanov suddenly said: he also never cries, even if he is in great pain. Everyone even became somehow embarrassed to accuse the aspiring actress of lack of professionalism, even if such a master as Ulyanov could not cry at the direction of the director.

The girl was approved for the role, and on the set she always felt support from Mikhail Alexandrovich. Sometimes it even seemed to her that he was her real grandfather. He always prompted Anna how to properly distribute her forces, and gave wise advice, always subtle and unobtrusive.

After working in "Voroshilovsky Strelka" Anna Sinyakina became famous, and later starred in two dozen more films, including the film "We must live again" by Vasily Panin, for the role in which she received a prize as the best actress at the International Children's Festival in " Arteke ". But still Anna Sinyakina considers herself more of a theatrical actress, so she often refuses to act in films.

Immediately after graduating from GITIS, Anna Sinyakina came to work at the School of Dramatic Art in the laboratory under the direction of Dmitry Krymov. The acquaintance of the actress and the director took place back in the years when Anna was a student at GITIS. Dmitry Anatolyevich was looking for "little mobile girls" for his new performance, and Anna called him to clarify how small and how mobile.

After this call, Krymov came to Anna for an exam, and then made an appointment. Their collaboration began with the play Three Sisters based on Shakespeare's King Lear, and then the actress played in Don Quixote and Bidding, Tararabumbia and As You Like It. Sometimes she agrees to collaborate with other theaters, but the School of Dramatic Art, according to the actress, is her home.

One of the biggest and most successful projects of the actress was work in the production "In Paris", where she goes on the same stage together with the legendary Mikhail Baryshnikov. Unfortunately, this performance will not be seen by Russian audiences, since Baryshnikov never comes to his homeland for reasons of principle. "In Paris" was shown more than 32 times, and Anna never tired of being surprised at the talent and charisma of the famous artist.

The veil of secrecy

Anna Sinyakina is a very open person, she gives interviews with pleasure, shares her creative plans and impressions of working in cinema and theater, recalls collaboration with famous actors and directors. But never, under any circumstances, does she speak on personal topics.

This gives rise to a lot of rumors and speculation, but the actress does not betray her principles: everything that does not concern creativity should remain out of sight of the general public. The maximum that the media representatives could achieve from Anna Sinyakina was this mention that in a relationship with a loved one it is important for an actress to hear and be heard by him.

Anna Sinyakina loves to relax in silence and always uses the opportunity to spend time alone with herself. And she also enjoys watching ballet performances, which not only give her a burst of energy, but are also a source of inspiration for the actress.

The film by Stanislav Govorukhin "Voroshilovsky Shooter", released in 1998, quickly became popular. Later, he won many awards and took 34th place in the list of the main films in Russia according to the Afisha magazine. But few people know that the plot is based on real events, reflected in the novel by Viktor Pronin "Woman on Wednesdays". True, the main avenger was not a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, but a young guy whose hopes for the future were trampled by unknown bandits.
