Vitaly Kornienko

16 years old.

Vitalia made her film debut at the age of two. She came to support her sister on the set of the short film "Makaroshka" (2012). The director noticed how naturally the girl posed in front of the camera and offered her a role. Vitalia happily accepted.
Her successful debut paved the way for her to pursue other projects. By 2013, she had already starred in the series "Time of Daughters" and "Lie, If You Love." By the age of five, her filmography already included about ten credits, including roles in "Quiet Flows the Don" (Polyushka) and "Broken Fates." In 2015, she landed her first leading role in the short film "Z."
By 2026, the actress's filmography already included dozens of works. Among the most notable projects:
"Ice 2" (2020) - the role of Nadya Gorina, for which Vitalia trained on ice for nine months.
"Aunt Martha" is the leading role, where the actress played two twin sisters.
"Daddy's Daughters. New" - the role of Lisa.
"Buratino" (2026) - Vitalia played the main character, for which motion capture technology was used.
Vitalia also actively works in dubbing and voice acting, providing her voice in over 20 foreign films and animated series. Her credits include voicing Anna in the animated film "Frozen 2" and the main character's daughter in the drama "Proxima."

Her mother, Olesya Kornienko, was a former model, but after the birth of her daughters, she gave up her career and devoted herself to raising them. She was the first to notice Vitalia's acting potential, accompanied her to castings, and effectively became her daughter's personal agent.
His father, Alexey Kornienko, leads a low-profile life, never giving interviews or appearing at social events. Rumors occasionally surface online about his possible connections to prominent political figures with the same last name, but these speculations are unsubstantiated.
Veronika Kornienko is Vitalia's older sister. As a child, she also tried her hand at acting, dancing, and performing in show ballet. Her credits include the TV series "Closed School," the horror film "Dead Swallows," and the comedy "Loud Connection" from the group "Kvartet I." However, Veronika eventually abandoned her acting career and focused on blogging and personal projects.
Features of family relationships
The warm and trusting relationship between the sisters remains; they support each other regardless of their professional paths.
A calm, secure atmosphere in the family and the absence of pressure from her parents largely allowed Vitalia to grow up without "star fever" and perceive cinema as a conscious choice.

Peace of mind and a lack of "star fever." Thanks to a supportive family atmosphere (her mother, a former model, became her agent and career mentor, but without putting pressure on her daughter), Vitalia grew up without arrogance and viewed filmmaking as a conscious choice, not a burdensome obligation.

Vitalia is energetic and proactive. She's always busy with something: music (playing the ukulele and guitar), learning foreign languages, speedcubing (solving Rubik's cubes at high speeds), pottery, drawing, and reading. She enjoys being busy and experiencing new things.
Courage and a thirst for innovation. She's not afraid of challenging tasks or extreme situations on set. She performs her own stunts—for example, falling into a mountain river in December or sliding down a third-floor balcony on a sheet in a strong wind. Vitalia herself has admitted: she enjoys thrills, testing herself in new environments, and mastering new skills. As a child, she even dreamed of becoming a stuntwoman, but her mother dissuaded her for safety reasons.
Responsibility and determination. Despite her young age, Vitalia takes her studies and work seriously. She graduated from 9th grade with honors and successfully balances a busy filming schedule with schoolwork and extracurricular activities.
Friendliness and openness. Vitalia easily connects with people, including her co-stars. In interviews, she speaks warmly of her colleagues, noting their kindness and responsiveness.
A creative approach. She doesn't just play roles, but brings her own touch to them. For example, for the role of Buratino, Vitalia observed the boys and men on the film crew to more accurately convey the character's personality. She also tries her hand at screenwriting and directing, making amateur films.
Self-irony and levity. In interviews, Vitalia isn't afraid to acknowledge her own idiosyncrasies. For example, she said she's not strict, but rather picky.
Curiosity. She's interested in a wide range of subjects, from science and history to contemporary music trends. She considers Stephen Hawking's "George and the Secrets of the Universe" to be her go-to book.
