Evgeny Mironov was
born in Saratov (29.11.1966) in the family of
workers. He had a dream to become an artist since his childhood, studied in the
musical school, took part in various school plays. In 1982 Evgeny entered
Saratov Theatre collage and was considered one of the most gifted students.
After graduating from the collage he went to Moscow in 1986 and could reach the
famous Oleg Tabakov, who |

took him at once to the second
year of his studies. Then
a lot of theatre roles came to him, some of them
were noticed even in Europe. In 1988 E. Mironov got
his first movie work. His star hour came after
Valery Todorovsky's "The Love", where he
played a touching role of a young boy, Sasha. He met
his first love and lost it with the girl's departure
to Israel. Just such way E. Mironov has lost his
real love in life, too. Thanks to this film he was
chosen the best actor of the 1992 year. Every new
film added more paints to his bright image as a
gifted actor.

comes to the house of his distant relative Epanchina who is a wife of a general. Myshkin meets Epanchina’s husband, their
daughters, and general’s
secretary Ganya Ivolgin. Nastasia Filippovna’s portrait that was
accidentally spotted by the count on the general’s table creates a big impression on
Myshkin…
THE IDIOT: WHAT IS DOSTOYEVSKY’S MYSTERY ALL ABOUT?
From all of Dostoyevsky's great novels "The Idiot" is the most enigmatic one. Is it so because
Dostoyevsky, as he himself admitted, managed to convey in it but 1/10 of what he actually had
wished to convey and what had not been conveyed remains to be divined about? Or maybe it is
because darkness and light converge in it in a seemingly unsolvable contradiction?
Could it possibly be because of Prince Myshkin, the central character of the novel, emerging out of
nowhere, from abroad, from across the border, “the very border where heaven and earth come
together” and then disappearing in some mysterious way, patting a murderer on the head, uttering
a sentence of multiple meaning “Beauty will save the world” (or maybe he never said it, there is
no answer to this question in the novel) and leaving behind his mortal body around which the
remaining characters of the novel gather in the mountains somewhere in Switzerland (that’s how
it is in the book), Lizaveta Prokofievna utters yet another sentence with an unclear meaning:
“That Europe of yours, all this is sheer fantasy and us being abroad is just fantasy … mark my
word, you’ll see for yourself”?
