At the turn of the millennium, a popular program with permanent host Regina Dubovitskaya called "Full House" was regularly broadcast on the national television of Russia. Many remember and watched it, because in addition to this entertainment project, there was practically nothing more in the country. The meaning of the television program was that comedians and parodists performed with short funny numbers, brightening up the harsh everyday life of Russians.
So, in one of the episodes of the Full House, a hitherto unknown monologue performer appeared on the stage, who immediately managed to get the audience and those who were sitting on the other side of the screen. The name of this hero is Nikolai Lukinsky, whose biography we will remember today and talk about everything related to the family, personal life and hobbies of the Honored Artist of Russia.
Soviet harsh childhood of the future artist
Nikolai Alexandrovich Lukinsky was born in the middle of summer, July 20, 1960, in the city of Novosibirsk. His mother Tatyana Ivanovna and father Alexander Yakovlevich were ordinary Soviet workers who could not afford luxury and did not indulge their sons. By the way, Nikolai Lukinsky also has a brother. The most important family value of the Lukinsky was a sense of humor, as Nikolai Alexandrovich himself says. Due to the fact that the parents of the hero of today's story worked a lot, his grandmother was engaged in his upbringing, who taught the boy a lot.
Among the most unusual skill, which Lukinsky can boast of, it is worth noting his ability to knit. This was taught to him by his grandmother when the boy was 6 years old. Interestingly, the biography of Nikolai Lukinsky is closely intertwined with the biography of his wife: he met her when he came to school in first grade, and, according to the assurances of the artist himself, immediately fell in love.
School hobbies
From early childhood, Lukinsky was engaged in the boxing section. With great pleasure he ran to training, and even participated in competitions, although he did not achieve great achievements in this sport. However, in high school, he won the champion title among schoolchildren of Novosibirsk, and also became a prize winner in such competitions, studying in the first year of university.
Nikolai Lukinsky, whose biography is quite interesting and diverse, was engaged in woodcarving for several years. This childhood interest subsequently helped him at the institute. There he participated in a carving contest and even won a cash prize. According to Lukinsky himself, his equivalent of encouragement was more than 40 rubles a day, and the average salary in the country at that time was 150 rubles a month.
Study and work
It is worth noting that Nikolai Lukinsky, whose biography is riddled with unusual facts, after school he entered the Novosibirsk Institute of Water Transport. After graduating from it, he joined the army (the city of Mozdok), where he worked as a technician for aviation equipment and was engaged in its diagnosis. Then, returning home, he got a job at a vocational technical school as a computer science teacher. As Nikolai Aleksandrovich Lukinsky himself said, his biography might not have been worthy of this fact, but the director of a vocational school accepted him to work, where he taught students for 3 years. By the way, not so long ago Lukinsky was educated at GITIS, where he entered at the age of 44 years under general conditions. There he studied at the course of Borisov Mikhail Borisovich at the directing department.
Career on the stage
In his student years, Lukinsky was carried away by amateur performances and with great pleasure took part in theatrical productions. After a while, when he arrived in the capital, he was first noticed by Leon Izmailov, and then the artist got into the popular TV show "Full House" to Regina Dubovitskaya. Since then, a new life stage has come in his biography. Nikolai Lukinsky is a humorist from God.
Having become famous, the artist took part in the project of the “First Channel” - “King of the Ring”. Here he was helped by boxing skills, which Lukinsky acquired in childhood and youth. By the way, Vladimir Turchinsky, a friend and mentor in the gym, brought him to the program. Nikolai Alexandrovich won the show, receiving a Hammer car as a reward. It should also be noted that the comedian took part in such projects on television as “Two Stars” and “Big Races”. However, the success of the “King of the Ring” could not be surpassed in them.
Nikolai Lukinsky: family
The artist’s biography regarding the most sacred and beloved - his family, is easily characterized by the phrase “love for life”. As mentioned above, Lukinsky met his wife Irina (a translator by training) in the first grade. Young people started dating in high school, and in the third year of the institute they got married. Irina’s mother was at first opposed to the marriage of the children, considering them too young and independent, but changed her mind when Nikolai Lukinsky presented her with a gift on March 8th. These were gloves knitted by him on his knitting needles. Sometimes a comedian jokes that he and his wife have been together for 50 years, given the acquaintance in elementary school.
The Lukinsky family has two daughters: Daria (realtor) and Olga (medical translator). Currently, the head of the family is indescribably happy, because he has two grandchildren: six-year-old Alexei and one and a half year-old Christopher. The comedian admits that he does not have a soul in his grandchildren and dreams that he had a lot of them.
Reviews from colleagues
Nikolai Lukinsky, whose biography and personal life we tried to cover above, has no enemies. They talk about him exceptionally positively, noting that he is a frank, kind, honest and always smiling person. Vladimir Vinokur, Regina Dubovitskaya, Gennady Khazanov and all those with whom the comedian has ever been able to contact and meet, speak kindly of him. Nowadays, such people are worth their weight in gold.
