Biography and creativity
Karina Vladimirovna Reuka was born in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol (Zhdanov) on June 6, 1984. Her father was a military man, and therefore the family often had to move to a new place of residence. In her youth, Karina's mother began her professional career as a ballet dancer, but due to the birth of children (Karina also has an older sister) and moving to different cities, she devoted herself to taking care of the family. From the age of three, Karina dreamed of becoming a ballerina and an actress - like a mother.
The girl's school years were very eventful: she studied at the music school to play the piano and percussion instruments, sang in the choir, studied at the ballet studio - she mastered such dance directions as folk, classical and historical dance, modern jazz, and also attended theatrical circles.
In 2003, Karina Reuka graduated with honors from the Rostov School of Culture in Rostov-on-Don, where she was educated in two specialties at once: ballet dancer and teacher-choreographer. In the Rostov State Musical Theater Karina danced in various productions. After graduation, the girl decided to move to Moscow, where she made an unsuccessful attempt to enter GITIS - Vladimir Andreev, who was gaining a course, did not accept Karina due to speech problems, as a result of which she then had to work hard on diction for eight years and remove the accent …
Not getting into GITIS, Karina Reuka went to study at the courses of the First National School of Television, which she graduated in 2007 with a degree in TV and radio programs host. She did not become a TV presenter, but she gained experience of working with an audience and solved problems with diction. In parallel, she danced in such Moscow groups as the State Music Hall and the Golden Ring Theater under the direction of Nadezhda Kadysheva, and began acting in films. And in 2012, Karina entered the B. Shchukin Theater Institute in the class of teacher V. A. Sazhin, and graduated from "Pike" in 2014 with the qualification "theater and film actor."

Personal life
Karina Reuka is a beautiful brown-haired woman with blue eyes, not very tall - she is 167 cm tall. She is not only a successful actress, but also a happy wife and mother. For thirteen years now she has been married and has a daughter, Milana. Karina met her future husband Vasily in a very funny way: on New Year's Eve, the actress, experiencing a shortage of movie roles, took up staging a New Year's performance for children, where she herself played the role of the Snow Maiden. For the role of Santa Claus, she wanted to invite a longtime acquaintance and colleague in the shop, but he referred to being busy and instead offered his friend from Yekaterinburg. Vasily was at one time a member of the KVN team, but did not become an actor. At that time, the young man needed a job, and gladly agreed to "earn extra money" as Santa Claus. For a whole week, Karina and Vasily traveled with their performance to Moscow schools and kindergartens, after which the actress received a marriage proposal.
Milana - daughter of Karina and Vasily - was born in 2010. During pregnancy, the expectant mother starred in the films "Step by Step" and "This is Life", but did not tell anyone about her situation, despite the fact that the shooting sometimes lasted 16-18 hours a day. Everything ended well, and Karina sometimes jokes that her daughter started her acting career before she was born. Milana is a very purposeful girl. In addition to the school where she studies with honors and even won the “Best Student of the Year” cup, Milana is engaged in synchronized swimming, foreign languages, and also attends an architecture and design studio.
