Vyacheslav Yuryevich Chepurchenko (Russian: Вячесла́в Ю́рьевич Чепурче́нко; born July 29, 1987) is a Russian theatre, film, and television actor.^[1][2]

Chepurchenko was born on July 29, 1987, in Rostov-on-Don. Soon after, his family moved to Kamyshin, Volgograd Oblast. His mother, Irina Igorevna Chepurchenko (née Zezerova), is an actress who worked for eleven years with the Kamyshin Drama Theatre troupe.^[3][4][5]

He was raised primarily by his mother and grandparents. He attended secondary schools No. 4 and No. 14 in Kamyshin. During his school years, he sang, danced, played sports, and hosted school events, although he was an average student academically.

After graduating from school, he initially planned to join the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations. However, after visiting an open day at the Saratov State Conservatory, he was noticed by People's Artist of the RSFSR and theatre pedagogue Alexander Galko, who encouraged him to pursue acting. Chepurchenko passed the entrance exams with the highest possible score.^[4]

In 2005, he enrolled in the Theatre Institute of the Saratov State Conservatory named after L. V. Sobinov and graduated in 2009 with a degree in dramatic theatre and film acting (class of Alexander Galko and Artyom Kuzin). During his studies, he performed on the stage of the Saratov Academic Drama Theatre named after I. A. Slonov.^[6]

In 2008, he was awarded the Oleg Tabakov Named Scholarship for academic excellence.^[3][6]

In 2009, after graduating, Chepurchenko joined the troupe of the Moscow Theatre-Studio under the direction of Oleg Tabakov (now the Moscow Oleg Tabakov Theatre). His debut role was Slavik in Wolves and Sheep, directed by Konstantin Bogomolov.

He later performed leading and supporting roles in numerous productions, including Confessions of Felix Krull, Twelfth Night, The Seagull, The Tempest, and My Fair Lady. Alongside theatre work, he has appeared extensively in television series and films, with over 45 screen projects.

In 2020, Chepurchenko participated in season seven of the television show Ice Age, partnered with Olympic champion Tatyana Totmyanina and later with world championship medalist Yana Khokhlova. He finished as the silver medalist and subsequently toured Russia with ice shows produced by Ilya Averbukh.
