After graduating from the Russian Institute of Theatre Arts in 1994, Kryukova continued her work at the Government Theatre of Mossovet. Her breakthrough role as Yulia Beroeva in the TV series "Petersburgskie Taini" and its sequel "Razvyazka Petersburgskich tain" cemented her status as a talented actress.
