Movie stars who captured the hearts of viewers in the March ranking of the magazine "KinoReporter"

      Spring arrives with the March issue of "KinoReporter." The magazine traditionally presents the most attractive actors and actresses of the year, setting the tone for the season. Appearance is just part of the success. The publication's experts evaluate that very spark capable of filling the hero's image with emotional depth and holding the viewer's attention.

      Maria Lemesheva, the editor-in-chief and editorial director of the publication, notes that what truly makes an actor attractive is inner freedom and energy, allowing them to live authentic emotions on screen: "It's not only about appearance but also about charisma, the strength of gaze, and the ability to ignite the screen with a single movement. That is why the editorial team pays special attention to acting, the convincingness of character, and that very magnetism that the viewer feels."

      Secrets of female charm in cinema

      The ranking includes ten actresses whose roles this season embodied a harmony of sensuality and strength. In the role of Elizabeth Vorontsova in the film "Prophet. The Story of Alexander Pushkin," which earned her the "Golden Eagle" in 2025, Anya Chipovskaya once again proved that she can be both fragile and internally strong. The series "Heat" allowed the actress to truly reveal her potential. She demonstrates to viewers a complete contrast to Pushkin's muse — the image of a passionate, fatal beauty whose sensuality became a separate adornment of the project. The creative energy of Stasia Miloslavskaya, whose face graced the cover of the collectible book edition of the almanac "Black-and-White Cinema" ("Selected") of the magazine "KinoReporter," finds bright expression in her works. In the series "Other People's Money," she convincingly played a role that combines feminine allure, the nerve of the times, and vibrant emotionality. Her talent was no less expressively revealed in "Plagiator": the image of a millionaire's daughter allowed the actress to subtly showcase the contrast between strength of spirit and emotional fragility. Serbian actress Tina Stoyilković adds an international accent to the ranking. In the film "August" and the series "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. Everything is Just Beginning" and "Casanova. On the Run," the actress conveys genuine passion thanks to her temperament and emotional freedom. Marina Alexandrov, who starred in the continuation of the series "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears," as well as in the projects "Macron" and "Mosgaz. Case No. 11: The Draw," once again demonstrates brilliant acting. Her on-screen charm, where subtle intellect combines with soft passion, leaves no doubt about her professionalism. In 2025, Alexandrov's talent was recognized with the "Event of the Year" award from "KinoReporter" in the "Actress of the Year" category. Her on-screen charm, where subtle intellect intertwines with soft passion, became one of the main discoveries of the season.

      What lies behind male attractiveness in cinema?

      The male top ten of the ranking is equally diverse. Yevgeny Tsyganov in the series "First Number" continues to attract viewers with his intellectual restraint, while his work in "Family Happiness" impresses with sincerity: the artist tenderly touches the most sacred strings of the human soul. The achievements of Yura Borisov were equally impressive, as he once again proved that he can master any facet of human experiences. From acting bravery in the thriller "Summer Will End" to piercing vulnerability in the image of Pushkin ("Prophet. The Story of Alexander Pushkin") — the actor's range is impressive. The March ranking adds two more polar works to this palette: in "Chronicles of the Russian Revolution," Borisov embodies officer valor and unyielding strength of spirit, while in the series "Lesson," he conveys with virtuoso precision the struggles of a rapper who left a rehabilitation center in a desperate fight for independence. Such a range is a vivid testament to Borisov's charisma and multifaceted talent. Continuing the theme of bright discoveries in the March ranking, it is worth noting Andrey Maximov. He made the list of the most attractive actors thanks to his role in the series "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. Everything is Just Beginning," adding sincerity and freshness to the list. A special place in the ranking is occupied by Sergey Bezrukov — a true star of Russian cinema, once again demonstrating his acting mastery in the film "August." The film was recognized as the "Film of the Year" in 2025 at the "Event of the Year" awards from "KinoReporter," and later triumphantly won the "Golden Eagle." For many years, the actor has maintained his status as a benchmark of male attractiveness. The image of an ironic lawyer with a curious mind and inner strength in the series "Plevako" became yet another confirmation for Bezrukov that his charisma knows no genre boundaries. Completing the selection is Gleb Kalyuzhny, whose talent is rightly noted in the March ranking. The actor makes the list thanks to his role in the film "First on Olympus." His Olympic hero conquers not with muscles but with inner strength: he combines a steely character with unexpected emotional subtlety. Such a winner's charisma, capable of feeling, leaves a deep impression on the viewer's perception.

      What makes for striking images and memorable scenes?

      In addition to the actors, the publication highlighted the most impressive images and scenes of the year. In the "Most Beautiful Couple" nomination, the famous duet — Alexander Adabashyan and Svetlana Kryuchkova in the film "Two in One Life, Not Counting the Dog" — received special recognition. The deserved mastery of Adabashyan, awarded in 2025 with the "Event of the Year" award from "KinoReporter" in the "Master Class" category, and the charm of Kryuchkova created a soulful couple. Their on-screen happiness and love, carried through the years, evoke sincere admiration. The ranking did not overlook the tenderness of the couple Nika Zdoric and Sergey Gorodnichev. Their episode in the series "Lily of the Valley. Second Spring" was recognized as the "Most Romantic Scene" of the year. The love story of a young wife and her husband, a wounded Hero of Russia, left viewers indifferent. The nomination for "Most Beautiful Kiss" went to a scene from the fantasy melodrama "Driving You Crazy" — Yuri Nasonov and Mila Ershova created a moment where the magic of feelings seems absolutely real. In the battle for the title of "Most Provocative Scene," two contrasting episodes faced off. The scene from the series "Method 3" featuring Nikita Kologriviy, Anna Savranskaya, and Snezhana Samokhina is filled with unrestrained, animal passion. In turn, the thriller "ON and She" offers a different type of provocation. In the episode featuring Yulia Peresild, an explicit scene unfolds between a human and artificial intelligence, a virtual assistant embedded in a smart home.
