Early Life

Vladimir Fedorov was born with a large head, tiny limbs, and a height of just 30 centimeters. Doctors discouraged his mother from raising him, suggesting that he be preserved in alcohol. However, she refused, vowing to nurture her son.

Childhood and Education

Fedorov inherited his grandfather's physical traits, despite his tall and slender parents. Although they desired more children, they feared another dwarf child. Eventually, they had two healthy sons. Fedorov's father introduced him to unconventional toys, such as nuts and bolts. Later, he developed a passion for electronics, leading him to pursue a degree in nuclear physics at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute. After graduation, he worked for 20 years at the Kurchatov Institute.

Family Struggles

Fedorov's mother became ill when he was in seventh grade. His father started a new family, leaving Vladimir to care for his mother. He supported her through odd jobs.

Acting Career

Fedorov's acting career began serendipitously when an assistant director for "Ruslan and Lyudmila" noticed him at a jazz club. He played the role of Chernomor, launching his cinematic journey. Despite his success, he faced discrimination on set, with directors highlighting his physical differences. However, he gained recognition from theater directors, including Roman Viktyuk, and has performed at the Theater "U Nikitskykh Vorot" for a decade.

Love and Loss

Fedorov struggled in love relationships, particularly with women who met societal beauty standards. However, at age 25, he had a transformative encounter with a stranger. He married for the first time at 27, but the relationship ended quickly when his wife left him for another actor.

Second Marriage and Tragedy

Fedorov fell in love with Alya, who became his second wife. They welcomed a son, but tragedy struck when he died due to neglect. This event led to a shift in Fedorov's mindset, and he found solace in Alya's second pregnancy. Their second son, Misha, was born healthy. However, marital problems arose, and they divorced after 15 years.

Third Marriage and Grief

Fedorov married again but his third wife, Elena, brought him little happiness. They had two daughters, one of whom inherited his dwarfism. Misha, his son from his second marriage, was brutally murdered in a home invasion. Fedorov also lost Alya to cancer, which he partly blamed himself for.

Meeting Vera and New Beginnings

Fedorov met Vera, a 30-year-old woman from Petrozavodsk, at a theater cafe. He proposed within days, and they married several weeks later. Despite initial separation due to Vera's job, they eventually reunited. They have since faced more tragedy with Misha's death.

Current Life

Fedorov and Vera live a modest life. He rarely gets acting roles, while Vera works at a fitness club. Despite their challenges, they have found love and a strong bond. Fedorov is grateful for his wife's positive influence and has expressed his desire for a child to carry on his resilient spirit.
