Alexander Kuritsyn is an interesting person. “Lurkomorye” is far from flattering about this man, and in other sources it is full of negativity directed towards this man. He is also known as Nevsky. This is due to the fact that at 25, he took such a pseudonym, claiming that it was the name of his parents (or the maiden name of his mother). There was no confirmation of this in any source, apparently, it was so simply more beautiful. He called himself “Russian Schwarzenegger” and “Mr. Universe”.
Alexander Kuritsyn is also known on the network by the nicknames Mr. Pelmennaya, Mr. Vottakvot, Chicken and others, the appearance of which is easy to understand by following his biography. Over the past twenty years, remains a very discussed person in the media as a bodybuilder, but for some reason only in those media that have nothing to do with bodybuilding. There was a time when he was called the most prominent Russian bodybuilder. In general, it is clear that a man loves popularity and achieves it at any cost and by any means.
Kuritsyn family
Alexander Kuritsyn, whose biography began in Moscow on July 17, 1971, grew up in a family of intellectuals. His father was a professor who taught economics and management. Mom and an older sister were quite close and close to him, whom he always remembers with warmth.
Attempts to go in for sports
The growth of Alexander Kuritsyn as an athlete began with the basketball section, where he was influenced by his parents at the age of twelve. After all, the boy was already tall. Now Kuritsyn’s height is 1 m 98 cm. However, there was no great desire to study, which was explained by the non-pedagogical attitude of the trainer to all those involved, especially to Sasha. Two years later, this was the reason for leaving the section. Sports continued in the boxing section, the United States signed up after a meeting with hooligans. And these classes brought him pleasure, Alexander thanked his mentor, Vadim Latyshenko, years later. In 1986, Alexander Kuritsyn began independent studies (in his apartment) with iron, trying to build muscle. For this, without anyone's help, he built a simple burden. The film "Conan the Destroyer", where the main character was Arnold Schwarzenegger, became the main reason for the new hobby.
Graduation and further journey
1994 was a significant year, as Alexander graduated from the State Academy of Management. In 1995, as a graduate student, he continued his studies. Unfortunately, there is no data on the defense of the candidate work and the award of a scientific degree. In the same year, he appeared on the television screen as “Mr. Mir 95, ” although in reality Kuritsyn did not receive this title.
He later said that he did not appropriate the title, and this was a mistake for journalists. When he was 25 years old, he took the pseudonym on Nevsky. The alias was later displayed in the passport officially as a new surname.
Telecasts in which Nevsky first "lit up"
Fame came in 1998-1999, when the television programs “Subject” and “Up to 16 and older”, “Good morning” with his participation were aired. The year 1999 is marked by the introduction of a heading in "Up to 16 and older" on bodybuilding (the release of a series of video tutorials). They were led by Kuritsyn. In the same year he left for the United States with the goal of conquering Hollywood.
I decided to move closer to my idol
In 2000, Alexander Kuritsyn studied at the University of California. There he studied English and acting at the Strasberg Theater Institute. In the same year, Alexander Kuritsyn – the actor was born. He starred in Ryazanov’s film “Quiet Pools”. Honestly, the viewer saw the role of wordless. Subsequently, Alexander said that his only replica was … cut out during installation.
Personal life of Kuritsyn-Nevsky
Even at the institute, he met with the girl Catherine, who in 2000 acquired a new status - the wife of Alexander Kuritsyn (at that time she was trained as an engineer). In the future, their life did not work out, she remained in the United States. In return, Oksana Sidorenko came.
Films starring Alexander Kuritsyn
Alexander Kuritsyn, whose filmography began with The Red Snake, continued with Moscow Heat (2004), Magician (2009), and Murder in Vegas (2010), but he did not receive much fame as an actor.
Films Nevsky made himself
In the same period, six films were released, the producer of which was himself. Who sponsored these paintings is also obscured, but the “fans” have rather sharp assumptions, up to “close ties with scammers, swindlers and scammers who resorted to his services with the aim of laundering money through films”. This is precisely what some explain the fact of their birth. Although, of course, no one cites evidence in support of these statements. In his films, Kuritsyn played the main roles - an “honest cop” or a fighter for truth. All these paintings have the same drawbacks: the lack of a well-thought-out plot, the frankly delaying the film (meaningless walking, unnecessary lengths, etc.) that are visible even to a layman. Nevsky, in all his roles, probably tried to resemble Schwarzenegger (starting with a walk, ending with smoking). And vodka. Nowhere without her. All the heroes constantly consumed this particular drink. Fights, shootings, murders, explosions of various types of vehicles - these are all the details of the films.
Parameters of Kuritsyn in a bodybuilding career
Alexander Kuritsyn, whose photo we see below, was actually quite handsome. In 1999, his weight was 145 kilograms, while the girth of the biceps was 57 cm.
Five years later, he significantly lost weight - 112 kilograms, biceps - 52 cm. On one of the airwaves, he noted that the best result of bodybuilding was in 1998, when he squeezed a barbell of 225 kilograms. Do not forget to mention the problems with the knees, I remembered about working with squats with a load of 220 kilograms, in the backfit - 320 kilograms. With all this, he noted that this is quite "not bad" for his weight.
Titles assigned to Nevsky - reality or myth?
In 2011, information appeared that Nevsky was appointed governor of the Tula region for sports issues (on a voluntary basis). Commenting on this information, he also noted a similar activity of Schwarzenegger in the United States. November 2011 brought him the status of “Mr. Universe” in Vienna. Alexander was the winner of Extreme Bodybuilding. But with all this, a list of all participants has not been published.
In addition to the above advantages, also a writer
Kuritsyn, in addition to all his activities, is the author of a series of books on fitness and bodybuilding in which he addressed young people and the fair sex.
