Mikhail Tarabukin (born June 29, 1981) is a prolific Russian film and television actor, best known for his impeccable comedic timing and his long-running role as the lovable but clumsy chef Fedya Yurchenko in the massive hit sitcom Kitchen (Kukhnya). A graduate of the Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute, he began his career in the early 2000s with roles in military dramas like War (2002) and Soldiers, but it was his chemistry with Sergey Lavygin (who played Senya) that turned them into one of Russia’s most iconic comedic duos, leading to their own spin-off series, SenyaFedya.
