Faina Georgievna Ranevskaya is a talented actress of theater and cinema of the USSR. She can be safely called one of the greatest Russian actresses of the 20th century. For her services in the cinema, journalists called her "the queen of the second plan."

In the modern world, Faina Ranevskaya is remembered not for her roles, but for witty statements, most of which were scattered into quotes.

An amazing actress with a great sense of humor became famous for her amazing performance in Mikhail Romm's silent film "Pyshka" (1934). By the way, the familiar character Fröken Bock from the cartoon "Carlson is Back" (1970) was sketched from Faina Ranevskaya, she also voiced this "house-tormentor".

Let's remember the most cynical and caustic of her statements, which are considered classics. You probably used her quote without even knowing who first said it.

Let's play a hooligan and remember the best swear words of the legendary Faina Ranevskaya.

1. Annoying fans

Phrase: "PionEry, go to ** poo!"
Faina Georgievna was terribly annoyed when, seeing her on the street, passers-by (especially children) began to shout: "Mulya, don't make me nervous!" Once she was surrounded by a crowd of schoolchildren, joyfully chanting the famous phrase from "Foundling". Then Ranevskaya said in her hearts: "Pioneers, go to ** poo!"

A similar fate befell the Timurovites, who showed up at the actress's home with an offer to help with the housework. “PionEry! Join hands - and go to ** poo! " she rapped out and slammed the door.

By the way, once even Brezhnev got it for his love of the joke about Mulya. He could not resist and repeated it, pinning the Order of Lenin to Ranevskaya's chest, to which he received an angry rebuke: "Leonid Ilyich, that's what either boys or hooligans call me!" “Forgive me, but I love you very much,” the secretary general was embarrassed.

2. Against pathos

Phrase: "Under each peacock's tail lurks a chicken ** pa"
This aphorism is perhaps the most famous among the statements of Ranevskaya: “Under the most beautiful peacock's tail, the most ordinary chicken ** pa is hidden. So less pathos, gentlemen!"

Few people succeeded in expressing their attitude to life, to colleagues and to oneself in such a way. By the way, recently, during another Twitter scandal, this expression was made to the TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak, who had previously used Ranevskaya's aphorism about pionEras to journalists. In general, with the help of the exchange of apt phrases by Faina Georgievna, a new round of a loud quarrel between Sobchak and the paparazzi was avoided. At least for now.

3. About freedom of choice

Phrase: "Everyone is free to dispose of his ** sing as he wants"
In general, Faina Georgievna's obscene word of four letters was one of her favorites. Once she answered a certain meticulous journalist: “I'm not ashamed of Mata. And in my lexicon my favorite word is "** pa", not "excellent."

Ranevskaya proved this at a party meeting in the theater, where one of the actors, suspected of homosexual relationships, was ardently branded for behavior unworthy of a Soviet art worker. “Everyone is free to dispose of his ** sing as he wants, - said the artist. - So I raise mine, and have *! ".

4.With criticism for life

Phrase: "You know, my dear, what is shit? ... So, it is jam compared to my life."
So Ranevskaya summed up. Until a ripe old age, she remained in demand in cinema and theater, the roles created for her, including episodic ones, were quoted and loved by the Soviet audience. At the same time, the quarrelsome nature led to the fact that Faina Georgievna lived completely alone - not counting her beloved mongrel named Boy and the Siamese cat Tiki.

Faina Georgievna Ranevskaya is a Soviet actress, called the queen of the background. Almost all of her film roles were fleeting. She only briefly appeared on the screen, but Ranevskaya remained in the hearts of the audience forever. Her catch phrases and aphorisms went "to the people", not having time to fly off the language of the actress. Snappy, witty, sometimes beyond the bounds of decency - they are still in demand today.


Faina Ranevkaya was born in Taganrog, back in 1896. When she turned 19, the girl went to conquer Moscow. However, she was not taken to the theater school, citing the fact that Ranevskaya did not have talent. Faina Georgievna was not particularly upset, and entered another private school. She spent the next nineteen years on the stage, changing several theaters. The actress came to the cinema when she was 38 years old.

It is not known why such a talented actress never got the long-awaited leading role for all her time in the cinema. But the audience immediately fell in love with the charismatic and witty actress. They waited with bated breath for her appearance on the screen, and then the expressions of her heroines were actively involved in the conversation at any opportunity.


Faina Georgievna had funny and witty phrases for literally any occasion. Whatever worries you - politics, appearance, grumpy spouse, annoying guests, dull health, lack of attention - the winged will become a real medicine. They will make you smile and remember that our life is not colored with one gray color, but shines with all the shades of the rainbow.

Ranevskaya gave out funny phrases when giving interviews, communicating with colleagues, friends and fans. It is interesting that the actress never used templates, did not think over her speech and did not prepare for sparkling humor. Funny phrases were always born spontaneously.



Other expressions became winged, flying off the lips of the character played by Ranevskaya. The most popular saying of that time was "Mulya, don't make me nervous!" This phrase was shouted by the children at the sight of the actress, but it was often recalled by journalists and friends of Faina Georgievna. Even Brezhnev did not ignore this catch phrase, awarding Ranevskaya with the Order of Lenin.

Ranevskaya was witty not only on stage, but also in everyday life. Her funny expressions helped to cope with the frustration. For example, once Faina Georgievna went on a trip.
At the station, she sighed and told her family:
- Eh, it's a pity they didn't take the piano with us.
“Not funny at all,” the annoyed relatives replied.
- Of course, it's not funny, - Ranevskaya agreed. - I left all the tickets on the piano lid.

The actress gave parting words to her guests:
- When you are at my door, knock your feet.
- But why with your feet? - future visitors were surprised.
- How else? Are you going to come to me empty-handed?

A sense of humor and a sharp mind helped the actress not only cope with everyday difficulties, but also without losing dignity to respond to rudeness. Once, on a crowded street, Faina Georgievna was pushed by a passer-by. Without even apologizing, the unpleasant man with extremely vulgar words expressed to Ranevskaya his dissatisfaction with the fact that she was hindering his movement.

However, the lady quickly found the answer:
- What a pity that today I cannot stoop to your level and answer you in the same words. However, I hope that when you get home, your mother will run out from behind the fence and bite you properly.



The brilliant actress did not live a month before her 88th birthday. Few know that the surname under which Faina Georgievna gained popularity and popular love is a pseudonym that she took in her youth, replacing her surname Feldman. Why did the young Faina choose this option? The new surname was taken from the play "The Cherry Orchard". Thus, the aspiring actress wanted to pay tribute to her fellow countryman - Anton Pavlovich Chekhov.


Despite her giftedness and talent, she was lonely all her life. But we still use her best catch phrases and expressions. And it is likely that even our children will remember and use those funny and witty aphorisms that have become part of our folklore thanks to Faina Ranevskaya.

When the Sistine Madonna was brought to Moscow, everyone went to look at it. Faina Georgievna overheard a conversation between two officials from the Ministry of Culture. One claimed that the painting did not impress him. Ranevskaya noted:
