Life in a family is not easy, but in order to be happy with your beloved woman, a man can endure a lot. How to remain a single family, despite everything, we have already seen the comedy Russian series âHappy Togetherâ for many seasons and dozens of episodes. One of his central characters was Gene Bukin. The actor who played this role has come a long way to work on a way to reveal his unlucky hero to the world. Is there a common thing between a fictional character and a real person? It will be interesting to know. Consider these two personalities closer!
Imagine the image
According to the series âHappy Together,â Gennady Bukin is a husband, father of two children, an eternal seller of shoes in a small shop, a dog owner, an honorary member of the men's club with the eloquent name âNO BABâ.
Genaâs life is most reminiscent of self-torture: being always dissatisfied with his wife, children, his financial condition, he continues to return home and work on the same hopeless job. This male type is also noteworthy in that it categorically refuses sex with his wife, spending a lot of time in the bar in contemplating the charms of other beauties. Even more surprising and even respectful is the fact that with all this, Gene Bukin remains faithful to his wife throughout the series. So who plays Gena Bukin, this unfortunate ordinary Russian man who has become close to so many viewers?
The real person is actor Victor Loginov
In life, a person at the sight of which our brain gives out: âOh, Bukin!â - This is an actor Viktor Loginov. Before the series, his life was diverse: he changed many professions before entering a theater university. The role of Bukin opened Victor the way to cinema. As Victor himself describes the situation, the role of the loser became his great luck.
During his life, Victor had to change many professions: he was a miner, a security guard, a guide, a seller. He considers acting to be the most difficult of all the professions that he had to master, but also the most enjoyable.
Today, Victor is a successful man in his career and in his personal life. We can only rejoice for him and wish good luck in the acting field, to still see the roles in his performance. We will also remember that, first of all, it is not Gene Bukin who pleases us, the real name of the hero is Victor Loginov.
The personal life of the hero of the series
As for personal life .... What is Gena Bukin's? He is married, and thatâs it. Next to him in his fantasies is a completely different woman, beautiful and economical, but in life his companion was not so sweet to her husband's eyes. Why so is a question tormenting spectators, especially spectators.
Often observing the behavior of Genes in relation to women, it can be described as "alien grass is greener." Seeing the exotic dancer Scheherazade in the club, Bukin admired her until he found out that under the veil his red beast Dasha. Beauties, whose natural charms are admired by grief-husband, do not favor him with their attention, because no matter how charming Gene is, he remains a failure. The result of emotional outbursts âto the leftâ of Gena is always the same - he returns home with a clear conscience before his wife. For this, the hero fell in love with hundreds of thousands of spectators.
In addition to the wonderful attitude to his family, Genes Bukin, we note that he was not married to anyone except Dasha. That's the whole personal life of a serial hero. Well, perhaps he also loves men's magazines ...
Gene in the family
In the comic trail of the series âHappy Togetherâ, family humor occupies the largest part. The Bukin family is, rather, an example of a foreign âcell of societyâ both in terms of family relations and template social roles.
The father of the family, which is discussed in our article, is Gennady Bukin. He is not just an entertaining on-screen character. To colic ridiculous interaction with his home. Dasha, the wife, loves her penniless, not always friendly spouse. How else? After all, he gives her money for sweets! Dasha eats them with pleasure in front of the TV, remembering fondly her husband ... Well, or not remembering.
In the red-haired Dasha Bukina, the viewer does not recognize the image of a typical Russian woman. As in almost everything else, the American idea and the origin of the series are shown here (after all, the Russian sitcom was shot in the image of the American).
Bukinâs children are his pain and disappointment, but very cute in their hypertrophied images. A loser in terms of relations with girls, and indeed communication with people, Roma is an object of constant ridicule from family members. Charming in its immediacy, Svetochka is an example of the extreme manifestation of a âblondeâ in a person.
In addition to the family, Genes also have neighbors - Lena with successive husbands-keepers. In general, the neighbor's family is to some extent the opposite of Bukin.
Carrying the beautiful to the masses ...
Gena Bukinâs place of work is a separate subject for discussion. The shoe store, in which for a man with ambitions that have not yet fully waned, hell on earth, is loved by oversized women. The lover of the beautiful, the unfortunate Bukin, is forced to deal with capricious ladies day after day.
The greatest claims of genes to their visitors relate to their weight. Curvy ladies, in turn, are not silent in response to the impudent statements of the seller and throw, throw firewood into the fire of curiosities. Gennady is unsatisfied with his profession and still cherishes his dreams of returning to football, a sport of real men, in which he showed good results. In dreams, our hero is not an ordinary man who drowned in family life, but Gene Bukin, a photo with which football fans dream to make! The realities are different so far ...
Dozens of funny stories happen to the hero of the series in a shoe store. These unusual man-to-work relationships have made Bukin the country's most famous shoe seller.
The personal life of the actor
Viktor Loginov in life is far from the image that depicts on the screen. He loves beautiful women, and women reciprocate with him. At work, he often has to collaborate side by side with beautiful ladies, and the man really likes it. Contrary to the impression that Gene Bukin makes, the actor does not suffer from a lack of attention.
Fans of the actor may be upset, but now he is married (civil), the third in a row, and his beloved wife is called Olya. Victor has already had two marriages in the past, from which the actor has children.
The actor met his current wife where many Hollywood stars find their lovers - on the set. It should be noted that for a woman who should be next to him, the actor has an impressive number of requirements. The current wife successfully matches them, as Viktor Loginov himself says about marriage. Now the actorâs wife is engaged in raising their child and does not work, which is incredibly pleasing to Victor.
The wifeâs attitude towards Victorâs work and his communication with the fair sex is bearable. Love reigns in the family, and this gives her a reason to be absolutely calm, even if the husband showers with compliments to his colleagues on the screen.
Actors behind the set
Each of the characters âHappy Togetherâ is unique and loved by fans of the series. The actors who played their roles, like Viktor Loginov, are very different from their serial images.
So, for example, Natalia Bochkareva (Dasha) is a busy woman in her life: she manages to take care of her children, devote time to her husband, and also work in cinema and theater. Daria Sagalova (Sveta) has a higher education and a diploma with honors, in contrast to the on-screen character of the actress. Alexander Yakin (Roma) has achievements in his acting career and in life has been ten times more successful than his hero.
On the set, actors have to play a family with many relationship problems. In life, they are friendly and happily spend time together, for example, celebrating holidays.

The Russians decided to perpetuate the torment of the main male character in the series and erected a monument to him. An unexpected bold manifestation of fan love has found its most original embodiment. A photo of the monument to Gene Bukin in the network appeared immediately after its opening.
As expected, the bronze monument is located in Yekaterinburg, the city where the fictional Bukin family lives. Moreover, there is a famous seller of shoes near the Greenwich shopping center, where he works on the screens of the country.
The creation of the monument was the idea of ââthe founder of Greenwich, Igor Zavodsky. Visitors are undoubtedly delighted with such an addition. The opening of the monument was also attended by Gena Bukin himself, that is, the actor who became his face. The real person and character were captured in one photo.
