About
Tatyana Kolganova was born on April 7, 1972, in Bălți, Republic of Moldova, where her childhood was marked by a passion for theater. She debuted on stage at the Army House theater studio in roles such as a squirrel and later in adult performances. A graduate of School No. 2 "A. S. Pushkin" in Bălți with a silver medal, she pursued higher education in Saint Petersburg, graduating in 1994 from the State Academy of Culture with a specialization in dramatic directing under V. Plotkin, and in 1996 from the State Academy of Theater Arts under V. Petrov. Her career in film and theater began rapidly, with roles in films such as "Sisters" (2001) and the series "Chyornyy voron" (2001-2006), where she played the main character Tatiana Zakharzhevskaya, solidifying her presence in the Russian film industry with over 80 projects, including "Shopping Tour" (2012), which won an award at the "Okno v Evropu" Festival. As a versatile actress, Kolganova has collaborated with prestigious theaters such as the "Comedians" State Drama Theater in St. Petersburg, where she performed for one season, and since 2000, she has been a member of the Lev Ehrenburg Maly Drama Theater troupe, participating in iconic productions like "Three Sisters" (Masha), "The Lower Depths," and "Valentinov Day." Her international experience includes periods in Prague, where she worked as a host at Radio Liberty and on Czech television with the show "Prologi" about cinema, speaking fluent Czech and English. Among her notable achievements are her directorial and screenwriting debut with the film "Sindrom otlozhennogo schastya" (2021), the award for best actress at the "Vyborg" Festival for "Shopping Tour," and diverse roles in series such as "Chef" and "Klim," highlighting her versatility across genres from drama to comedy. Married since 1992 to director and screenwriter Vadim Skvirskiy, with whom she collaborated on projects like "Happy End" (1999, Czech Republic), Kolganova maintains close ties to her Moldovan roots, with her parents – father Anatolii Matveevich, a former sailor, and mother Lidia Veniaminovna – living in Bălți, and her older sister Alena in St. Petersburg. Her balanced personal life has allowed her to successfully navigate between theater, cinema, and directing, contributing to cultural scenes in Russia and promoting complex stories about family and society in her works.
