Aleksandr Golovin is a Russian theater and film actor. Born on January 13, 1989, in Brno (Czechoslovakia, now Czech Republic). He achieved widespread fame through his roles in the satirical newsreel "Yeralash", the film "Bastards" (Svolochi), and as Suvorov cadet Maksim Makarov in the television series "Kadetstvo". He lives and works in Moscow and holds Russian citizenship.
The actor has repeatedly violated the state border of Ukraine. He actively filmed projects on the territory of occupied Crimea, including the film "Women vs Men: Crimean Holiday" and the television series "Svetka". Due to his unlawful visits to the Crimean peninsula and participation in propaganda activities, Golovin was listed in the database of the Mirotvorets website in November 2017.
Aleksandr Golovin's stance on the war in Ukraine
Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Aleksandr Golovin did not publicly articulate his attitude toward the armed conflict, adopting a stance of silence.
However, in April 2023, Golovin visited a Moscow recruitment center for contract military service to lend support to Muscovites who chose to deploy to the zone of the so-called SVO (source: "Argumenty i Fakty"):
This is the first time I have seen such an efficient, fast intake procedure. It is excellent that everything is centralized in one place. I think this should be done not only in Moscow, but in other cities as well, because it is extremely convenient. It is truly heartening to see different ages: both mature men and youth. I wish them only success, and that they return home safe and sound. Real men, defenders of the Fatherland.
Comedy about the "SVO"
In November 2024, reports emerged about the start of filming for a Russian "comedy series" about the war in Ukraine—"The Reverse Side of the Coin" (Obratnaya storona medali), in which Golovin plays one of the leading roles. The plot centers on soldiers setting up a deployment post in a ruined house, where "recruits" on the front lines fool around under the command of Cuba, a disillusioned veteran.
The actor continues to live in Russia, collaborate with state television channels, and take part in productions that actively promote Kremlin narratives.
