Today, few people know that the famous actor, director, musician Gosha Kutsenko's name is Yuri Georgievich. He received the title of Honored Artist thanks to his sparkling talent and hard work. The audience fell in love with his bright and multifaceted work.
Childhood
The biography of Yura Kutsenko began in 1967 in the Ukrainian city of Zaporozhye. Father Georgy Pavlovich devoted himself to the radio industry, mother Svetlana Vasilievna worked as a radiologist. Only my grandmother had a creative profession, she sang at the opera. The parents named the boy after the first Soviet cosmonaut. They hoped that their son would get at least a small part of Yuri Gagarin's fame. Yura recalled his childhood as a wonderful time. He was delighted with the usual children's entertainment: cycling, brand exchange, swimming in the Dnieper.
Youth
Parents moved to Lviv. Already here Yura graduated from high school and entered the Polytechnic Institute. The training was interrupted by the call for military service. This was followed by another attempt to get higher education. By that time, the family had moved to Moscow, since Georgy Pavlovich received a leading position in the ministry. Yuri became a student at the Moscow Institute of Energy. The capital helped him make the final choice of specialty. Having dropped out of a technical university, the young man took the documents to the Moscow Art Theater School. This independent step for the first time quarreled Yura with his father. A model of academic excellence and obedience, he shattered his parent's dreams of a family dynasty of engineers. Oleg Tabakov, who headed the admissions committee at that time, remembered with a smile the resourceful applicant who introduced himself as "Gosha Kutsenko", thereby hiding the burr. The young man conquered the examiners with his artistry and spontaneity. Years later, the actor corrected the diction defect, but the pseudonym remained.
