Becoming an artist

Nina Nizheradze is a Ukrainian actress with Georgian roots, People's Artist of Ukraine. She was born in the port city of Poti. The future theater and film star gained her first stage experience at a young age. The Brigantine Theater became the only place for the girl where, after school, she could immerse herself in the world of art and endlessly devote herself to creativity, which always seems grandiose in childhood.

Inspired by her first successes on stage, after graduating from the tenth grade, Nina decided to enter the theater institute in Leningrad. However, the first attempt to conquer her dream profession ended in failure. Remaining in the city, Nizheradze entered a technical university, and later transferred to the Kyiv Polytechnic Institute. However, her true calling did not let go, and the ambitious girl applied to the Karpenko-Kary Institute, hoping to get into the workshop of Nikolai Nikolaevich Rushkovsky. However, this time the doors of the institution remained closed.

But the rejections did not make Nina give up. She decided to stay in the theater environment, spending a year in the theater. She worked in the costume shop to be closer to the stage, which had already become her dream and destiny. She began her path in the field of culture and art while studying at the Moscow State Institute of Theater Arts named after Lunacharsky. During her student days, she met her future husband, today - the star of domestic theater and cinema Viktor Saraykin.
