Childhood
Laura was born in the city on the Neva, then still Leningrad in 1982, on August 11.

The parents of the future actress graduated together from the same institute, which their daughter later entered to study - the St. Petersburg Academy of Theater Arts. The only difference was that my father studied at the acting department, and my mother - at the economics department.
Since childhood, a crazy energy was raging in the girl. She was uncontrollable until the age of 13, and then suddenly fell silent, which terribly frightened her loved ones. It turned out that Laura wanted to listen to the world and herself in it. As the actress says, this amplitude is inherent in her now.
Mom saw the girl as a ballet dancer, from which the grandfather, who knew firsthand about hard ballet work, was furiously trying to save her. For the girl herself, there was never a question of who to be. Backstage life has done its job in choosing a child.
But his younger brother, Shalva, never had a desire for a creative profession, he gave his life to professional sports - football.
