Today we represent the young but already very popular Russian actress Ekaterina Volkova. We are sure that the majority of viewers know and love her by her role as Vera in the comedy television series "Voronin", which has been broadcast on our television for several years.
Childhood and youth
Thirty-two years ago, in Tallinn, in the family of a housewife and a worker, Ekaterina V. Volkova was born. She is not the only child in the family; Katie has a brother. The upbringing of the girl was mainly done by her grandmother. Catherine was artistic from an early age. She gladly performed poems for adults, sang songs, danced. Seriously about her acting career, the girl begins to think in high school. Parents did not really believe in her success, but they did not forbid the girl to try her hand. Everyone was sure that Katya would not master a huge competition at a theater university.
Aspiring actress
To the surprise of relatives, Katya enters the Shchepkinsky school, which in 2003 she graduates with honors. The young actress Ekaterina Volkova almost immediately receives an invitation to work in the troupe of the State Theater of Film Actor. Theaters remembered her work in the productions of "Shreds in the back streets", "At exactly seven", "Dog in the Hay", "Measure for Measure", "Poor Pierrot" and others.
Despite the fact that Ekaterina Valerievna Volkova began working as a professional actress, her parents continued to doubt that she would be able to fully realize herself in the profession, and they persuaded her daughter to “play safe” and get a second education. In 2006, Catherine graduated from the Russian Academy of Budget and Treasury of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation. I must say that this was very useful to her when Katya was a producer of the play “Dog in the Hay” in her native theater.

Photo at Maxim
In the spring of 2013, Ekaterina Volkova appeared on the cover of this popular men's magazine. She appeared in the image of a feminine beauty. This came as a surprise to many, and especially to Catherine herself. According to her, before she had never even thought about such a photo shoot. Despite this, she accepted the invitation, because she knew that not all celebrities make such offers. Many believe that the photos turned out to be too chaste, others are sure that such modesty is just a PR move.
