In 1962 she was recognized as the Honored Artist of the RSFSR. She was presented with many awards, orders and medals. For her active participation in the development of art, Vladimir Putin expressed gratitude to her.
Childhood and adolescence
Bystritskaya Elina grew up in the family of a military doctor and a hospital chef. Her father dreamed that his daughter would follow in his footsteps or, in extreme cases, become a teacher. The girl did not share his views. She was very lively, inquisitive and beautiful. She was very fond of boyish activities, played billiards perfectly.
During the war, 13-year-old Elina took nursing courses and was enrolled in a front-line mobile hospital. After the hostilities, the father insisted that his daughter enter the Nizhyn obstetric and paramedic school. She did not like nursing at all, but she found herself in a medical college by going to the drama club. Bystritskaya was ready to perform even episodic roles. A little later, in order to hone her acting skills, a young student enrolled in a ballet class.
At the end of college, the girl decided to go on to study further, but not to a medical institute, but to a theater institute. But this attempt was unsuccessful. Returning to Nizhyn, she entered the Pedagogical Institute. Bystritskaya did not despair, and created her own dance group.
A huge role in her creative endeavors was made by the actress Natalya Gebdovskaya, who convinced Bystritskaya to follow the path of the actress. After this conversation, Elina left the teaching department and entered the theater.
Career
Student years in the theater for Bystritskaya were not so carefree. Despite the fact that she studied excellently, her classmates disliked her, and because of conflicts in the team she was on the verge of expulsion. But the teachers greatly appreciated her abilities and aspirations, so they defended the talented student.
After receiving her diploma, Elina was assigned to P. Morozenko's drama theater, but since she could not find a common language with the theater director, she was forced to give up this work. Enlisting the support of teacher Ivan Chabanenko, Bystritskaya was enrolled in the troupe of the Mossovet Theater, but she worked there very little (her former classmates contributed to this). The young girl began her artistic career at the Vilnius Drama Theater.
Since 1950, Elina Avraamovna has been acting in films. One of her best works is the role of Aksinya in the novel Quiet Flows the Don. In the 60s, she temporarily left the cinema, deciding that the roles offered to her were not serious enough. In the 90s, viewers saw her again on their TV screens.
In 1958, Bystritskaya fulfilled her old dream by starting to perform on the stage of the Moscow Maly Theater. In this troupe of the theater she performs to this day.
In 1970, Elina Bystritskaya became a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. She is currently the President of the Charitable Foundation for the Support of Culture and Arts. In addition, she is engaged in teaching at the Higher Theater School. M. S. Schepkina.
Personal life
In her student years, the girl had many fans, and this is not surprising, because she was beautiful and smart. But there was also a seriousness in her, which did not allow her to go headlong into a romantic relationship. Elina got married late, and for a man much older than her. The husband served as one of the employees of the Ministry of Foreign Trade. He was a very intelligent and interesting conversationalist, but greedy for women's hearts. Unable to withstand the constant betrayal and the absence of children in their lives, Bystritskaya filed for divorce.
Now Elina Avraamovna lives alone in a country house. Engaged in social activities, performs on the stage of the Maly Theater, teaches at the A. V. Lunacharsky GITIS. A woman very carefully monitors her health and figure, so every morning she begins with exercises. She does not feel lonely, because there are so many good people around her.
