An ambitious, charming girl managed to win the hearts of television viewers in record time, becoming in demand and popular.
Biography
Belarusian actress Veronika Plyashkevich boldly burst into the space of Russian cinema not so long ago. Light, charming and in demand, the actress is confidently moving up the career ladder.
The artist was born in November 1984 in the small Belarusian town of Zhodino. None of Veronica Plyashkevich’s relatives are connected with the world of theater and cinema. The girl grew up in a simple family and went to a comprehensive school. But the creative spark ignited in the girl in early childhood.
Actress Veronika Plyashkevich
Veronica had a beautiful voice and excellent hearing. At first, the girl demonstrated her musical abilities in school amateur performances, but soon the future actress was noticed and invited to sing in the studio, which was led by talented teachers Sergei Zhdanovich and Nelly Ambartsumyan.
The successes of the young singer were such that the girl seriously thought about a career in this direction. But after weighing the pros and cons, the girl gave preference to the acting profession. Veronica entered the Belarusian Academy of Arts, where she chose the theater department. She successfully completed her studies in 2006.
Interview
About theater and cinema
“Like everyone else, as a student I had enthusiastic eyes and a love for everything theatrical: people, the stage. Now the attitude towards the theater has already been fully formed, and some other, more conscious love is coming. I like going on stage, I like my roles. Katarina in “The Taming of the Shrew” is especially dear to me.
During her student years, the actress did not act in films not only because teachers do not like to let students go to filming: “I was convinced that I was absolutely not a film actress. I understood this one hundred percent and ultimately accepted it as a given.”
“Now, when I get roles in films, I understand that the theater is my home, my rear, my people are here. And cinema is a fun business trip.”
“In cinema now, unfortunately, there is no detailed work on the role and no opportunity to carefully analyze it. The actors are confirmed, and filming can begin in a few days. In the theater, you work on a character for a long time, rehearse, and have time to think about what works and what doesn’t. That’s why cinema is always a risk.”
About the roles
“During rehearsals and the subsequent series of performances, you essentially let another person into yourself, and, therefore, trigger the mechanism of their influence on you. Of course, it enriches you and fills you with new content. And this can be easily explained, because you carefully study each role, try on the character traits of the heroine, analyze motives and actions, this is akin to psychoanalysis...”
“I gain a lot from “communication” with my character, but I also give a lot in return, my personal one. Any other actor will play my roles completely differently. I'm lucky to work with directors who respect my personality. This is cool!"
“I am interested in the roles of strange people with difficult destinies. We are attracted to heroines in whom some kind of breakdown occurs, when they are, as they say, swayed in one direction or another.”
About myself and husband
“I can’t live one day at a time without thinking about the consequences... In my life there were reckless actions, spontaneous moves, stupidity... Having made these mistakes, I realized that it is necessary to adhere to some kind of backbone, to have principles, firm positions that nothing can loosen I think this defines a strong personality.”
“In fact, I am terribly impulsive and spontaneous, my emotions sometimes go wild, but I change a lot about myself. Without my husband, nothing would have worked out for me: I lack willpower and patience. Andrey teaches me to be specific: to cut off the unnecessary, superfluous, to be brief and precise, to pour less water.”
“When my husband and I are together, we don’t think about the fact that we’re both actors.”
“Andrey is a great gift of fate, the most grandiose event in my life. I understand that there is no person dearer and closer than my husband. Only in a family is selflessness, endless trust, honesty, true love, and sincere feelings possible. I live by this. I try to convey this with every step I take on stage.”

Theater
In the same year, the young artist was accepted into the Minsk Gorky Drama Theater. This is where the bright creative biography of Veronika Plyashkevich began. On this stage the girl successfully debuted. For her role as Catherine in the play “The Taming of the Shrew,” Veronica was awarded the prestigious professional award “Kryshtalnaya Kvetka” and a diploma from the XIII Minsk Festival “Listapad.”

Since then, the actress has often been trusted with leading roles in theatrical productions. In Minsk, theatergoers enjoyed attending performances with the participation of Plyashkevich “The Threepenny Opera”, “Valentine’s Day”, “Scattered Nest” and others, where the actress shone.
Career
After graduating from the academy, the girl was immediately hired to work at the Minsk Drama Theater named after Maxim Gorky. Veronica Plyashkevich's debut on the theater stage was bright and memorable.
For her role as Catherine in the play “The Taming of the Shrew,” the girl received the “Kryshtalnaya Kvetka” award.
After receiving the award and recognition, the girl was often called to play leading roles in various theatrical productions.
In 2007, Veronica played her first role in a film. The film in which she played was called “Shield of the Fatherland.” The role was played so brilliantly that not only Belarusian, but also Russian directors became interested in the actress.
After this, photos of Veronica Plyashkevich flooded the Internet and began to appear on the pages of magazines.
In 2011, director Vitaly Dudin invited Veronica to play in the comedy “At the Crossroads.” The girl played her role very subtly, truthfully, beautifully, and the number of invitations to various projects increased tenfold.
In 2012, Veronica appeared in ten films, in four of which the girl played leading roles.
The actress has firmly established herself in cinematography; she has already played more than three dozen roles. But despite this, the girl did not give up the theater; she regularly performs in her native drama theater.
Movies
In 2007, the artist made her film debut. The first was a role in the film “Shield of the Fatherland.” This role was played so masterfully that directors, not only Belarusian, but also Russian, noticed Veronica and began to actively invite her to their projects.

In 2011, Plyashkevich starred in two films – “The Kiss of Socrates” and “At the Crossroads”. In the latest melodrama, the actress played her first starring role - Catherine.
This work was a real breakthrough. It’s amazing how a city girl managed to get used to the image of a village girl so organically. From the moment the film was released, the cinematic biography of Veronica Plyashkevich, as they say, rushed upward by leaps and bounds.
The following year, 2012, Plyashkevich starred in a record number of films: the girl appeared in 10 projects at once. Moreover, in 4 of them - in leading roles. The melodramas “And the Snow Whirls...” and “The Witch Doctor”, the mystical adventure film “Traces of the Apostles” and the war film “Death to Spies. Fox Hole" brought Veronica popularity. In the last project, the actress played on the same set with Pavel Trubiner and Anatoly Rudenko.
In all these films, Veronica Plyashkevich starred in star roles. But fans of this artist’s talent especially note the action-packed war film of 2013, “Don’t Leave Me,” where the girl starred with a real star of Russian cinema, Alexei Guskov. According to the film's script, the actor was the father of the heroine Veronica.
In 2014, the actress played the main role in the melodrama Beauty and the Beast. The role of a handsome businessman was played by Alexey Anishchenko, and the actress got the role of a monster - a boorish market woman. In this film, the understanding of the monster is rather social, because the actress does not complain about her appearance (the girl’s height is 169 cm, and her weight is still unknown to fans).
Projects from 2015 have also become popular. In the melodrama “Stay Forever,” the actress played the role of lawyer Valeria, who faces a difficult choice. The girl meets businessman Mikhail (Ruslan Chernetsky), who kidnapped his own daughter from an orphanage, and must decide whether the law or the happiness of her loved ones is more important for her.
In the crime film “You Can't Die to Run,” the actress played a complex role that required enormous talent. The girl played the role of twins Alla and Ada, bringing to the screen the characters of two completely different girls: a successful head of a fashion house and a poor artist.
