Scandal in the film industry: Evgenia Myakenka reveals the truth about the unequal treatment of Ukrainian actors

Actress Yevgenia Myakenka, known for her roles in the TV series "Yurchyshyn", "Papik" and "Mother's Heart", recently spoke about the unacceptable treatment of Ukrainian actors on film sets before the start of the great war. In an interview, the actress shared her memories of how Russian actors received all the benefits, while Ukrainians remained in the background.

Movie distribution: money and privileges for Russian stars

Myakenka recalls that Russian actors were literally raised to heaven. "The Russians have all the money in the world, separate cars, restaurants, hotels. And what is left for us, because, they say, we have a small budget, " the actress notes.

Unequal working conditions: Ukrainians are in the background

The actress emphasizes that Ukrainian actors often worked in difficult conditions, while their Russian colleagues enjoyed comfort. "They have Grimwagens, and you are waiting for the stage on a chair. Of course, it's crazy, " Myakenka recalls.

The problem started with the producers

Evgenia believes that the main problem was our producers, who created such conditions. "It was the Ukrainian producers who created such conditions for them. I can't say that all Russian actors were unbearable. Although I worked with such artists that I just didn't want to go on the set, " she adds.

Cases of filming whims

Myakenka also shared the cases of filming caprices of Russian actors. In particular, the star mentioned Anna Legchilova, who refused to come to the costume room and demanded that the costumes be brought to her trailer. **"They call me to the stage to go through the stage, I come in slippers, with coffee: 'Why did they call me? I don't understand at all. Let's go, when everything is ready, I'll come, '" - Yevgenia recalls.

Conclusions: changes in the film industry over time

These stories only emphasize the need for changes in the domestic film industry. Equal treatment of all actors, regardless of their nationality, should become the norm. Those responsible for the production of films should review their approaches and ensure decent working conditions for Ukrainian talents. This is an important step towards creating a fair and professional atmosphere on film sets.
