A successful Russian actress and model with an elven appearance, Sofia Zaika, is a famous person in the Moscow elite. Attractive and talented girl became famous mainly due to the role of Marie Eugene in the sensational series "Mysterious Passion". The main stages of the biography of the refined beauty and daughter of the banker, her career and personal life will be discussed in this article.
In the world of finance
Sophia Zaika (photo above) was born on April 12, 1988 in the Russian cultural capital of St. Petersburg. The girl, as they say, was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her father, the financier Pavel Zaika, is a rather famous person. He currently heads the representative office of one of the most famous banks in Latvia in Moscow.
The first few years of secondary education, Sofia studied at a private school in Sosnovy Bor, Leningrad Region. What institution subsequently moved to and where the certificate was issued is not known reliably. Only authentic information on higher education is available.
Even during schooling, Sofia Zaika decided to follow in her father's footsteps: the sphere of finance was close to her. The girl entered the State University of St. Petersburg at the Faculty of Economics. However, she did not feel her calling in the financial sphere of activity. On the contrary, in the process of studying economic "wisdom", the girl realized that for her it was too boring.
Thirst for self-expression
Creative inclinations have been manifested in Sofia since childhood. Being a child with diverse interests, in parallel with receiving secondary education, she:
- I went to a music school;
- studied professional vocals;
- engaged in fencing.
When, after years, a student who had lost interest in the economy had a question about choosing a life’s business, she decided to bet on creative activity. Nevertheless, Sofia Zaika received a diploma in finance, having come to the conclusion that higher education will not be superfluous in any direction of her career.
After graduating from the university, the young ambitious beauty went to the capital. Here she acquired the profession of a stylist.
Sophia mastered the features of this specialty with such zeal and zeal that attracted the attention of the famous designer Ulyana Sergeenko. The latter was so fascinated by the talented and diligent girl that, despite the lack of experience and the young age of Sophia, she invited her to work in her Fashion House. Zaika accepted the offer and set about putting her skills into practice.
Subordination
When working with celebrities and models, it was important for the girl not to let herself be belittled. Therefore, she took care in advance of the formation of her own worthy image and style. In particular, Zaika presented herself to everyone as Sofia Pavlovna.
This kind of subordination led to respect for others around her. The whole Moscow beau monde remembered her precisely by that name. Zaika uses the same wording as a nickname when registering accounts on social networks. The most striking example is the girl’s official page on Instagram.
Elite society
Sophia quickly joined the capital's social circle. She was regularly invited to various parties, including parties that were held at Simach, where the girl took part in candid photography.
Being in the highest circles of society instilled confidence in herself in the beauty. As a result of this, she decides to try to become an actress. This profession has long been coveted for Sophia. But whenever she thought about this area of activity, she was overwhelmed by doubts about her own abilities.
A dream come true
In 2014, Sofia Zaika began her studies at the Moscow Art Theater School. The leaders of the course she took were Igor Zolotovitsky and Sergey Zemtsov.
The acting profession was especially attracted by her opportunity to try on a variety of images. As well as each role set new tasks. Despite the experience of filming in various projects, Sophia still considers herself a budding actress. Not because he again does not believe in his abilities. And just because the experience is still small.
Lovely French
The debut of actress Sofia Zaika on the screen took place in 2015 in "Mysterious Passion". The series of production of the First Channel was a film adaptation of the eponymous work by Vasily Aksenov, which tells about the legendary sixties - Vysotsky, Okudzhava, Akhmadulina and many other characters of that era.
The names of real heroes were replaced by consonant combinations, but the prototypes of the characters were determined without any difficulty. Actress Sofia Zaika in this project received the role of the French movie star Marie Eugene, the prototype of which is Marina Vladi.
Being at that time a first-year student at the Moscow Art Theater School, the young beauty was very nervous before filming - after all, she had to work on the same platform with already known and experienced actors:
- Sergey Bezrukov;
- Philip Jankowski;
- Chulpan Khamatova;
- Julia Peresild;
- and others.
But Sophia coped with her role perfectly. The distinguished colleagues spoke positively about her work and appreciated the talent of the girl. An aspiring actress suddenly turned into a famous and beloved artist by many viewers.
In one of the episodes of the series, Zaika sang a song in French. As her filming partners later noted, at that moment Sophia reminded Marina Vlady as much as possible.
Other jobs
After the debut role, the actress actively starred. Throughout 2016, projects with her participation were released. Among the most striking roles:
- Inna in the short story “Joseph’s Dreams” from the film “Petersburg. Only for Love”;
- Senia at the Viking.
Now she is acting in Mayakovsky. In this film, Sophia plays one of the poet's lovers.
Relationship with men
Sophia Zaika’s biography contains notable gaps. The largest of them is the personal life of the girl. In this matter, the beauty is very secretive.
According to rumors, after the artist moved from St. Petersburg to the capital, she had a whole series of novels with fairly well-known representatives of the stronger sex. Among them:
- Who is DJ, he is Fedor Boomer (musician);
- Timofey Kolesnikov (fashionable Moscow photographer).
From this moment begins the most interesting stage in the personal life of Sofia Zaika. In 2013, a fateful meeting of the girl with the future husband and father of her children, which is the head of the First Channel Konstantin Ernst, took place.
A year after meeting, they began to regularly go out together. After a little more time, Sophia's rounded forms made it possible to accurately determine that she was pregnant. In 2016, Zaika gave birth to Ernst's first daughter. In mid-2017, the couple had another girl.
