Biography
In 1970 she graduated from the Odessa School of Music in the class of trumpet (teacher O. Weiman). In the years 1973-1987. worked as an electrician in the Odessa-elevator association. She made her debut in cinema in 1987, however, she is best known for her roles in films directed by Kira Muratova , starting with the film "Asthenic Syndrome" ( 1989 ). As the film expert Lyubov Arkus noted,
It seems that in Asthenic Syndrome, only perfect mastery of the secrets of an eccentric, farce, gignol and lyrics could help A. S. create his touching monster, an ugly-beautiful representative of the multimillion-strong population of the Soviet provinces. It seems that in “Three Stories” , embodying together with Renata Litvinova, Murat’s favorite motif of rhyme (remarks, looks, gait; deaths and births, killers and victims, tragedies and farces; destinies, plots), she is absolutely equal to her partner in her supernatural organicity with her equally supernatural "made-up" image [1] .
Film critic Zara Abdullaeva in her book “Kira Muratova: The Art of Cinema” speaking of “Murat artists” whose roles are “often involved in contrasting principles”, gives the following description:
<...> the grotesque and touching Alexandra Svenskaya (" Asthenic syndrome ", " Hobbies "), head teacher with powerful forms of Fellinievskaya Saragin, with a nagging melody of the pipe of the Fellinian Jelsomina <...> [2]
