Oleg Tabakov was the director of the company, and Ratnikov Alexander Anatolyevich was seen among numerous actors as one of the courageous and beloved by the audience, so he was capable of even the most diverse roles. Alexander Ratnikov and his wife are both in the acting community. Alexander Ratnikov’s wife Anna Taratorkina works in another theater, but she had to star in the same movie with her beloved man.
Biography of Alexander Ratnikov
Alexander Anatolyevich Ratnikov (real name Skotnikov) was born in Moscow on August 18, 1979. The family had two children; Alexander has a brother.
Sasha in childhood/Alexander Ratnikov
His parents were engineers, but also great connoisseurs of classical literature. However, Sasha began training at the Dynamo football club at the age of eight and wanted to connect his future profession with this sport. But then football lost its appeal for Alexander, and music came to the fore.
The young man was gifted with a good ear for music, and in the 10th grade he was introduced to one of the teachers at Gnesinka, thanks to which in the 11th grade Sasha became a student at this school.
After Gnesinka, Alexander entered the Moscow Art Theater School and graduated in 2004, but realized that he did not want to work in this profession. Two years passed before he received an invitation to serve in the Tabakerka Theater, which had always been his dream.
"The Tale of the Seven Hanged Men"
Two years later he was included in the troupe, and Alexander practically lived in the theater:
“...for two years they plugged all the holes with me.”
Despite the great respect for Oleg Tabakov and the wonderful team, Alexander leaves Tabakerka.
"Taiga"
This is due to the fact that he is increasingly being invited to act in films. This is how roles appeared in “The Last Cordon”, “House for Two”, “Fathers and Sons”, “Sect”, “Smiley” and other films.
Alexander Ratnikov with Leonid Bichevin in the film “Once Upon a Time in the Province”
Many people remember the film “Once Upon a Time in the Province” (2008), where the young actor starred in the role of Ruslan Tasoev - a hooligan, a drunkard, one of those who were crippled spiritually and physically by a poor and hopeless life in a run-down town. But the most striking role was Ticher’s in the film “Okolofutbola” (2013), where Alexander (now under the name Ratnikov, which he took in 2011) plays a football fan.
Still from the film “Okolofutbola”
Critics found the roles of Yegor Zhuravlev, an investigator from the series “Three in One,” and Nikolai Gorokhov, a police captain from “Moscow Greyhound,” interesting. Alexander also played a small role in the acclaimed 2021 film “Union of Salvation,” and even now he is filming in several projects at once. The actor’s creative biography was successful.
Film roles yesterday and today
The actress began acting immediately after graduation. At first these were the episodes - “Airport”, “Who Comes on a Winter Evening...”, “The Last Battle of Major Pugachev”, “Infidelity”. Anna's first big role was given in the adventure film “07 Changes Course.” Here, Sergei Makhovikov, Dmitry Mulyar, Sergei Batalov, and Vladimir Menshov became colleagues on the screen.
Anna also played with her father. For example, they can be seen together in the crime film “Trust Service,” released in 2007. In 2010, Taratorkina received a truly significant role in the film “Mortal Combat.” After this role, she began to be recognized not only in Russia, but also abroad.
Then there were such films as “Land of People”, “Saving My Husband”, “Other People’s Children”, “The Blacksmith of My Happiness”, “Freshman”, “Unlucky”. In February 2021, the melodrama “Love with All Stops” was released. The actress is full of creative plans and is very in demand. Viewers are looking forward to her new roles.

Personal life of Alexander Ratnikov
A handsome young man with a deep, soulful gaze was always the object of close attention of the opposite sex.
Alexander Ratnikov
For the first time he seriously fell in love while studying at Gnesinka, although he does not disclose the name of his beloved to the general public, but in one of his interviews he stated:
“It was the most powerful feeling of my life. We still communicate and treat each other very tenderly.”
The parting was not easy for Alexander, he himself did not really understand why it happened, but it was very painful. However, then training began at the Moscow Art Theater School, and the crazy rhythm of life helped Alexander cope with emotional experiences.
Alexander Ratnikov: “We, like many families, have not escaped difficulties”
Alexander Ratnikov, practically without changing in appearance, can play absolutely any character. But he could have been an athlete or an engineer, like his parents, if not for chance. And only then chance brought him together on the set with his future wife Anna Taratorkina. Today their son Nikita is already seven years old. Like every family, there were different periods in their relationship, but, according to Alexander, with a nomadic acting life, home and loved ones are the greatest value. Details are in the interview with Atmosfera magazine.
— Sasha, we are meeting on the start day of the World Cup. You played football yourself for nine years. How did he appear in your life?
“I don’t remember how this impulse arose among my parents, but throughout my conscious childhood I played football in the yard. And I joined the section at the age of seven. First it was “Labor Reserves”, then “Dynamo”. And in total I devoted nine years to football. I remember how early in the morning my dad took me to the Olimpiyskiy. It was cold there (and we trained in shorts and a T-shirt), and they always spoke to us very harshly. We did acrobatics, and then with great pleasure we jumped into a five-meter pit with foam rubber. And during the difficult puberty period, when it was unclear what was happening in my head and with my nervous system, I independently got out of football and switched to karate. And after filming the film “Okolofutbola” I became interested in boxing and at some point I found myself enjoying sparring with well-trained people. This is sobering, and all nonsense instantly flies out of your head.
— But it seems that you not only played sports, but also took part in school amateur performances?
— “Amateur performance” is a great exaggeration; there were some one-time actions for events. In the eighth grade I played in The Three Musketeers, and, of course, I was d'Artagnan. (Laughs.) Mom sewed me a beautiful suit, a hat and a blue cape. But I was still just a boy, and it never occurred to me that I could connect my life with this business.
Alexander simultaneously studied in the eleventh grade and in his first year at Gnesinka to become a musical theater actor

— And then someone advised you to go to the Gnesinka Faculty of Musical Theater Actors?
— In the middle of tenth grade, I assumed that I would go to MIIT (Institute of Transport Engineers). All the boys gathered on the horizontal bars in the courtyards in the evenings; there were no fitness clubs then. And at some point a young man Oleg appeared there (thank you very much, friend), who was clearly older than us. Physically strong and intellectually developed - it was interesting for us to talk with him. And one day he asked which of us was going where. And at that moment I was already thinking about a theater institute, but I didn’t even know their names. He exclaimed: “Oh! Which one?” And he said that he was studying at GITIS. I pretended to know what it was, and he added: “We don’t have enough boys.” I again pretended to understand. And if you imagine a flashback, the next scene was like this: I’m going with my mother on the subway for an exam at GITIS to see what it’s all about. Oleg introduced me to a teacher who taught at Gnesinka. We talked a little, and he said: “We need to study.” I am finishing tenth grade, and for several months Anatoly Borisovich Akhreev has been preparing me for admission. And then I simultaneously studied in the eleventh grade and in the first year at Gnesinka to become a musical theater actor.
— Were you accepted despite your lack of musical education?
— Yes, during the exam the accompanist pressed the keys and asked: “How many notes are these?” - and I, turning away from the piano, answered. It turned out that I have naturally good hearing. And I was accepted as a volunteer listener. But this year, I admit, I spent a little time in Gnesinka. At school I said that I was going there, and there that I was at school. In fact, the guys and I were walking and doing nothing. I only went to vocals. I remember the exams after the first year. I was the last one to speak. I already had wild jitters, and when I went on stage to the piano and saw that the hall was full of people, I almost went crazy. He began to sing and wink at familiar faces out of simplicity. I was looking for support because my legs were shaking. And everyone was laughing at me: there was some shaggy guy standing in a wide suit with a green jacket, it was unclear what he was singing, smiling and winking. But they still took me to the second year. This changed my whole life. During these three years, I made up for eight years of education - both secondary and higher, and musical. I had to read mountains of books and learn to speak, which is important in the profession. And this was the period of first love, great love.
— Was the feeling mutual?
- Certainly! It was the most powerful feeling of my life. We still communicate and treat each other very tenderly.
- Why did you break up?
- Don't know. Suddenly something happened and it was incredibly painful. I probably went crazy for three months. It was just summer, vacation. All this was sublimated into a very easy admission to the Moscow Art Theater School. I also went to the Shchukin School to take Evgeniy Knyazev’s course, but I chose the Studio School because I dreamed of getting into “Tabakerka” after I saw the play “Psycho.” My crazy life immediately began. But we were protected, cared for and cherished. When we came to Evgeniy Kamenkovich, at our first lesson he said: “Remember, you are all geniuses!” And these words inspired us and gave us faith. We were told all the time that we were the best, and if we couldn’t do something now, we would still be able to do it later. Already there I absolutely fell in love with Oleg Tabakov’s theater, I was simply sick of him as a woman, I was a fan, I collected tickets.
- Didn’t the wedge get knocked out by the wedge? I'm talking about love...
- I didn’t get out. Long time, by the way. And that’s why the Moscow Art Theater School was only a work experience for me.
— And you didn’t even have light hobbies?
- There is nothing. Then, after the Studio School, I began to be thrown in different directions like an addicted person. And then we rehearsed even at night, it was simply impossible to squeeze novels in there. My studies ended and I felt some kind of emotional burnout.

- And in connection with what, what do you think?
- Firstly, it was associated with great fear, because you are released into an enclosure with serious lions, and secondly, it was probably a period of my fallen self-esteem, since this is a floating thing, sometimes it can rise to the skies, and sometimes happens below the baseboard. I realized that there were no offers from my love - the Tabakov Theater (smiles), some guys were already playing at the Moscow Art Theater, running in the crowd, but no one took me. I thought that I would go to work at my brother’s advertising agency. I went on vacation to Crimea. And then a call came from Tabakerka. One of the actors unexpectedly left the theater, and I was invited to play his role. For two years I practically lived in the theater. After evening rehearsals, I spent the night in the dressing rooms, because I had the next rehearsal early in the morning. Nerves gave way, tension grew. At some point, I met Oleg Palych near the ATM, and he asked me: “San, how’s your salary?” — and I wasn’t in the troupe then. He looked at me and said: “Your salary is too high, go join the troupe.” (Laughs.) And on the same day they signed a contract with me - and the roles appeared. But there were a huge number of pass-through and small ones; for two years I plugged all the holes. And this was not what I dreamed about at all. True, I remember the play “The Last” with a special feeling. They didn’t play him at that time, because Seryozha Bezrukov grew out of his role, and they wanted to extend the life of the performance. And the choice fell on me. I didn’t really understand my happiness, only now is the realization of what it was for me coming. I personally rehearsed for six months with Olga Yakovleva, a legend of the Soviet theater. We quarreled, she kicked me out, then we hugged... It was a cascade of emotions, a real relationship, although there is a half-century age difference between us. We came on tour, where I was supposed to play my first performance. It didn’t matter too much, because there was a huge amount of very emotional text, and nearby on stage were people like Olga Mikhailovna Yakovleva and Oleg Pavlovich Tabakov. In the end, everything went well, I cracked up on the scenes where Oleg Palych made me laugh, he really loved to do it. When they ask me in an interview about Oleg Palych, I will say only one thing - I remember how after the performance he kissed me on the forehead and said: “A capable boy.” And then I received the Tabakov Prize. I used it to buy myself the snowboard I had dreamed of. Oleg Palych is a man and an era. He is a teacher and second dad for many. That’s why the artists – grown men – cried when this disaster happened.
— How did you decide to leave Tabakerka?
- Everything happened by itself. They started inviting me to the cinema. The first important film was probably the series “Victoria” with Tanya Arntgolts. And the role of Arkady Kirsanov in Avdotya Smirnova’s film “Fathers and Sons” became the first very serious role. In general, it was an extraordinary school for me. I remember that work as a holiday. The incredible Dunya Smirnova, Andrei Sergeevich Smirnov, Natalya Tenyakova, Sergei Yursky, Sasha Ustyugov, the still beginning Katya Vilkova - a gentle, young, subtle talent who has now turned into a strong adult actress, Alexander Artemovich Adabashyan... We filmed in the best traditions of Soviet cinema. (Smiles.) Often, when everything was ready for filming, Alexander Artemovich fried eggs for breakfast for everyone. And all this under the leadership of Valery Todorovsky as a producer. This was a very serious step in my life after the Moscow Art Theater School. After filming Fathers and Sons, I felt as if I had been in a warm shower. I remember how we sat with Sasha Ustyugov, he played Bazarov, in a hotel room in Mtsensk, a godforsaken town - Soviet yellow walls, sagging beds, we drank, I had too much, and the next morning I felt completely unwell, because I don’t know how to do this at all do and my body does not perceive alcohol well. And now I understand that I am absolutely unsuitable for professional work. They bring me to the site, pale, with drops of cold sweat. In any other picture there would have been a scandal, but here everyone laughed at me kindly. Dunya Smirnova came up to me, stroked my head with the words: “Go to bed,” they quickly changed me into the nightie in which I was supposed to act, and I fell asleep. And at this time, Alexander Artemovich Adabashyan cooked the broth especially for me. It was huge. And the scene where I wake up after a wild hangover was included in the film. (Laughs.)
— When did you get your first recognition?
— Sergei Selyanov and I came to St. Petersburg to present the film “Okolofutbola”, after the premiere I went out into the city, and they recognized me everywhere: in cafes, in stores, and on the street. And to this day, in connection with this film, people often stop me for an autograph or photo.
- How did it feel?
— There was also a range of emotions. At first it was a pleasant inconvenience, but at some point it started to get a little boring. But I was always lucky with people, no one came to me with the words: “Hey, brother, come here...” Everything was very delicate, correct, and I am responsive in this regard.
— What do you use to get around the city today?
- By car. I really love a car, it’s a second home for me, a small apartment. I'm a man in this regard to the core. I have a big jeep. (Laughs.) My machine is so perfect that I immediately remember how Michelangelo was asked: “How do you create your masterpieces?” - and he replied: “I cut off everything unnecessary.”
“The whole crew tried to push us closer to each other. While our heroes were kissing, when it was time to say “stop,” they looked and were silent.”

— You haven’t played in the theater for a long time. Don't you miss being on stage?
- Somewhere very, very far, deep down. I see some pieces or reports on TV, and sometimes something moves inside, but not in the theater in general, but on that small stage. By the way, the decision to leave the theater was my first independent adult and honest decision. Lately I’ve been living by the slogan “Everything needs to be done to have fun.” Despite this, I can’t do it, I can’t do something if I’m scolded, in an atmosphere of unlove. Not without criticism, but with love.
— In 2007, you starred in the TV series “Trust Service,” which turned out to be fateful for you. What happened first: a meeting on the site with Georgy Taratorkin or Anna Taratorkina?
- It happened at the same time. On the first day of filming, I got on the bus - the makeup room, I remember it was blue, and Anya was sitting there, and Georgiy Georgievich was changing clothes further away. And I observed the following scene: she stood up and walked straight to where Georgiy Georgievich was. I immediately about - then the curtain opened, and I saw them hugging, and he said to her: “You are my girl.” I was amazed. And only then did he find out that Anya was his daughter. (Laughs.) Georgiy Georgievich was an incredible person. And what a handsome man! Alain Delon smokes nervously in the corner. He is an unexplored planet. Unfortunately, lately the producers could have filmed him more; he was in excellent shape for a long time and worked almost until the end of his days. This was very important to him. So we met Anya the very next day of filming, when director Elena Nikolaeva introduced us. By the way, Anya is absolutely daddy’s girl. Georgiy Georgievich meant more to her than anyone or anything in this life. I remembered an incredibly warm story about Georgy Georgievich. He will be very pleased to hear her there. On one of our regular visits to the dacha in Vnukovo, where our whole family lived in the summer, our pipes began to leak. There was no water, but there was a flood. There is a small basement where you can’t stand up to your full height, only on your hands and knees. Georgy Georgievich turned off the water, now it was necessary to understand where it actually flowed. He opened the hatch, climbed in, and I followed him. We crawled on all fours one after another, my face was right behind his butt. And he asked: “San, how do you like People’s Artist of Russia and State Prize laureate Georgy Taratorkin “back to the forest”?” (Laughs.) By the way, we fixed everything. I, too, it seems to me, can do everything with my own hands. This is very important for me as a man.
— Did you fall in love with Anya at first sight?
- At first glance, I didn’t have time. The whole group and Elena Vyacheslavovna tried to push us closer to each other. During the kiss of our heroes, when it was time to say “stop,” they looked and were silent.
- But the kiss was still purely acting?
- Yes, acting, but with desire. (Laughs.) Then some time passed, and Anya and I met by chance on the Garden Ring, not far from the Mossovet Theater, she abandoned the car, we bought a bottle of wine and cheese, got on the bug trolleybus (B), rode, broke off the cheese . It was very romantic. That's all. My feelings immediately became serious. I remember how Anya got sick and called me to her home for the first time. I came with oranges, something else that I thought might bring relief. The door opened, Anya stood, behind her was Georgy Georgievich and Anya’s mother, actress and writer Ekaterina Markova. She looked at me very appraisingly. And Taratorkin cordially invited me to come in. Georgiy Georgievich did not often say to me after some work: “You are a good artist, well done!” And it was incredibly pleasant.
— What delighted you about Anya then?
“For all her strong-willed character, Anya is a very soft, quiet, calm person inside. But she tries to fill the entire space with herself and her energy. She is hyper-responsible. I, too, am considered a responsible and sensible person, but I can’t stand comparison with Anya. She envelops you, and you are next to her, as if in a haze, in a veil. This is a positive thing in a global sense.
— Three years after the start of the novel, your son Nikita was born. Did this event affect you?
- The realization that I am a dad came to me on May 31 of this year at a parent-teacher meeting at school (laughs) - Nikita is going to first grade. This is a very famous school, where Anya and other popular artists studied... Unfortunately or fortunately, I understand that the boy’s psychophysics is that of an actor. We can’t push this topic, let’s see where it goes. So at the meeting I turned on the recorder so as not to forget anything, but I sat and thought: “Dad...” And when Nikita was born, I didn’t feel anything like that. Before that, I thought that everything - my life would completely change, something completely new would begin. (Laughs.) No, but she has become even better. I have a wonderful child, whom I adore. Love arose from the first second.
— What are your son’s hobbies?
“He’s been doing swimming and gymnastics for four years now, and now we’re going to sign up for karate.” Besides, he also draws and wants to go to chess. We don’t force him to do anything, it’s his choice. He expresses a desire, and it’s my job to make sure he tries it. He is also learning English.
- What about your languages?
- Oh, this is my sadness and sadness. In everyday life, I can more or less express myself, but it’s difficult for me to think and learn text in the language. I know a lot of artists who devote a lot of time to languages, and I just admire them.
“The ideal thing is when we combine some responsibility with carelessness. This is absolutely my formula."

— You and Anya have been together for so many years. Did you easily overcome the seventh year of crisis?
“Unfortunately, we, like many families, have not escaped difficulties. Relationships need to be worked on. Especially when there is something for it. We have a son, and we will move mountains for him. Of course, life is a long thing and you are not immune from anything... But since the profession is such that today you are there and tomorrow here, you don’t want to come to a locked door. Home and close people are very important to me.
— Sasha, you mentioned mom and dad more than once. What is your relationship with your parents now?
— Dad and I are very good. And my mother passed away exactly a year ago. I was actively acting in comedies then, and this dissonance, of course, undermines the nervous system. Mom became seriously ill. And they helped me transport her to the palliative care unit, where she stayed for a whole year. Everyone there loved her very much; her name was Verochka. We alternated with dad every other day, spent all the time there, I read books to her, we listened to the radio, I smeared her with creams... And my brother also helped. It’s surprising that when we were younger, we didn’t feel this strong brotherly bond. We have a big age difference - nine years. And in recent years we have become very close.
— You give the impression of an emotional, but at the same time reasonable person. Are you capable of reckless actions?
— Psychologist Mikhail Labkovsky says that a person changes at the cellular level every seven years. And about seven years ago I was more emotional, I did things that I would never do now, because I have something to lose, I have a son. So now I'm about eighty percent rational. (Smiles.)
- But this means that this did not happen because of the cells, but because the incoming conditions changed...
- Perhaps. Maybe after some time something will happen to me again - and I will ride a scooter around the city with long hair. (Laughs.) And when we are in love, don’t we do crazy things?!
— As Hippolyte says in “The Irony of Fate”: “We stopped doing big beautiful stupid things...”
- Yes Yes Yes! In general, it’s great to do stupid things. We have forgotten what it is, unfortunately. But the ideal thing is when we combine some responsibility with carelessness. This is absolutely my formula. (Smiles.)
Alexander Ratnikov and Anna Taratorkina
Only in 2007, while filming the TV series “Trust Service,” he met his partner Anna Taratorkina, the daughter of People’s Artist of Russia Georgy Taratorkin, and fell in love.
Taratorkina and Ratnikov
According to the script, they had to kiss, and the entire crew, who for some reason decided that Anna and Alexander simply had to be together in life, seemed to deliberately drag out this on-screen kiss. No, this did not cause the sudden flare-up of feelings, everything happened later, when they collided a few days later:
“... Anya and I met by chance on the Garden Ring, not far from the Mossovet Theater, she abandoned the car, we bought a bottle of wine and cheese, got into a bug trolleybus, rode, broke off the cheese. It was very romantic. That's all. My feelings immediately became serious.”
Anna admired him not only for her beauty and talent, but also for the fact that by nature she is a soft, quiet, calm, family person, and at the same time very strong-willed and responsible. Anna’s parents also approved of their relationship, although they did not really want their daughter’s chosen one to be a person from the acting community. But Georgy Georgievich repeatedly appreciated the roles of Alexander, who also liked the star father as a person. The lovers dated for three years, they got married, but Alexander Ratnikov and Anna Taratorkina did not have a wedding as such - they just signed. Anna always dreamed of a strong and happy family, like her parents:
“I bow to my parents who have been caring for each other for many years. Looking in one direction, living in the interests of your partner, without forgetting your own, is, in my opinion, the most important thing. Sasha and I are just learning this.”
They managed to keep their family together for a long time; in the acting community they were considered an almost ideal couple, but at the end of 2021, Alexander Ratnikov’s wife filed for divorce. By the way, at first fans did not believe that he really got divorced - Ratnikov’s reputation as a good husband was firmly established.
Evil tongues cited the reason for this as Alexander’s infidelity and his frequent absence due to filming.
Completely mystical theories were also expressed that it was the change of surname that became fatal for the spouses: they say, if you changed your surname, you changed your destiny, so you divorced your wife. The actor once said that it was important for him to “not come to a locked door,” and that for the sake of their children, Alexander Ratnikov and his wife were ready to overcome all differences. Apparently it didn't work out. The last time the entire family of Alexander Ratnikov vacationed together was in the summer of 2021 in Croatia. They entered the new year 2020 already divorced. Joint photos appeared only on September 1, 2021, the parents accompanied their son to school.
September 1, 2021, family assembled
During the filming of the series “Captain”, Alexander began to be credited with an affair with his partner on the set, Anna Mikhailovskaya, but the actors themselves denied any relationship other than work.

Now nothing is known about the personal life of Alexander Ratnikov.
Acting talent of Anna Taratorkina
Anna was brought up in a “star” family of famous actors throughout the Soviet Union - Georgy Georgievich Taratorkin and Ekaterina Georgievna Markova. She has an older brother, Philip. Parents were constantly on set, but managed to devote time to their children. The family lived harmoniously, spending every free minute together.
The famous father never imposed an acting career on Anna and Philip. As a result, the elder became a historian. And then he completely went into religion, becoming the rector of the Orthodox Church. It was he who wrote the complete biography of St. Basil the Blessed. But Anna was attracted by the theater, and filming in films was fascinating. Since childhood, she dreamed of being an actress.
It was her cherished dream to enter VGIK, but her father worked there, so she had to apply to another theater university. In fact, there were even several of them.

And everywhere the admissions committee was surprised at the girl’s enormous talent. She eventually chose the Shchepkinsky School, where her teacher was Professor Viktor Ivanovich Korshunov.
About personal things: how quiet family happiness began
Ratnikov is not talked about much on television and written in newspapers and magazines due to his endless novels or inappropriate behavior. His personal life had long been tripled. While still filming the film “Trustline,” Sasha met his future wife. This was the daughter of actor Georgy Taratorkin and Ekaterina Markina - Anna. In the film, the girl happened to play the hero’s girlfriend, and, as often happens, the romance from the movie moved into real life.
Their candy-bouquet period did not last very long. The young actor felt that his fate was before him and proposed to his beloved girl. Anna agreed, only suggested that they just sign without all the usual tinsel. And so it happened.

In 2010, they became the parents of a long-awaited son, whom they named Nikita.
Anya’s parents were very happy about this gift of fate and tried to spend as much time as possible with the baby. It was the grandmother who chose the name for her grandson.
Ratnikov later said that he fell in love with his son from the very first day, but his real fatherly feelings awoke later, when Nikitka went to 1st grade.
The boy is growing up to be quite artistic, goes in for swimming and gymnastics, draws well, and plays chess.

Star child
Nikita was born at the end of 2010 in the family of young actors Alexander Ratnikov and Anna Taratorkina. He has not yet become as famous a person as his star parents, because he is still small. Last year the boy entered first grade.
From birth, the child was surrounded by love and care from those closest to him. When mom and dad were busy filming, grandparents looked after the baby . The baby owes the name Nikita to his grandmother Ekaterina Markova. For a whole month after the birth, the young couple could not choose a name for the child, calling him different affectionate words, until Anna’s mother suggested a name that was very suitable for the charming baby.

Whether Nikita will follow in the footsteps of his parents or choose a different path for himself is unknown. Whatever profession the boy chooses, thanks to good heredity and competent upbringing, he will achieve success.
Alexander Ratnikov now
Currently, Ratnikov is in great demand in the professional field. So, in 2021, a continuation of the series “Mommies” was released. The actor continued to work on the audience-favorite series “Moscow Greyhound” and on the melodrama “Love as a Natural Disaster.”
In 2021, Alexander Ratnikov starred in the second season of “Mommies.”
In May 2021, the actor could be seen in the series “Captain” together with Anna Mikhailovskaya.
"The family boat crashed..."
The actor never shared his feelings about personal problems in an interview. But he didn’t keep it a secret that their marriage was literally on the brink several times. The couple worked diligently to restore the relationship and understand the current situation.
