At the turn of the twenty-first century, Russia's television channels sharply replenished with entertainment programs, a new genre appeared - video comic book magazines or, as they were called in another way, sketches and sitcoms. The main director, author and actor in one such project was the Ukrainian actor Stytskovsky Yuri Alfredovich.
But he called his brainchild "Pun." Over the short years he managed to make 165 episodes, each of which was a small finished story. Many remember the "Village of Fools", "Steep Dive" and other funny stories.
Biography
The future actor was born on August 19 in 1962 in Odessa. He studied at a regular high school, at the end he received a gold medal. Then he became a student at the Odessa Polytechnic Institute, which he graduated with honors. The young man had extraordinary data, it is known that he developed a computer program for the psychological support of man. However, failure was waiting for him here: one unscrupulous employee stole the finished work, prepared by Yuri Alfredovich, and emigrated to Israel. This unpleasant fact contains his biography.

He was still enrolled in students at the acting and drama department. In parallel, he studied directing.

Having finished the course in the Northern capital, he, together with his friends, decides to create his own theater and gives it the name “Sweet Life”.

The time was not easy - the end of the twentieth century, the difficult nineties, unemployment, and so on.
Hard time
After a while, tempting offers fell on him, allowing him to go abroad. Styckovsky Yuri Alfredovich did not use them. As a true patriot, he could not leave his homeland, friends, parents, and most importantly - the theater, he was not interested, he continued to work in his own country.

The reason for this was the desire to wear a dazzling wedding dress. The good-natured actor agreed, and the bride's wish came true. Two months later, they parted. The initiator of the divorce was Evelina, who unexpectedly met another man with whom she still lives.
In 1995, Yuri marries a second time. His wife becomes Irina Kozyr, who at that time was the executive producer of the magazine "Pun." In 2002, their son Nikolai was born. Apparently, with his second wife, Yuri Styckovsky was more fortunate.
