“It so happened that, before I had read The Master and Margarita, I met a man on the street who told me: “Margarita is you!”. It was so convincing, I believed him, and immediately took up the book. I realized that we are very similar to the main character. When I read the novel for the first time, I skipped all the biblical and historical plots. So captured the love line of the Master and Margarita, I saw only their images. When I studied at the theater in Yaroslavl, I learned that famous mark Zakharov is looking for an actress who can embody the image of Margarita. I managed to transfer to the third year of GITIS from the third year of a provincial university. Got the role and began to rehearse the dream. Then she played Margarita for ten years in a row at the Stanislavsky Moscow Drama Theater, ”recalls Ekaterina.

To which Katya retorted: “Don’t you watch KGB in a Tuxedo?” After the words of the KGB, Edward perked up and began to show interest in the actress.

“Eduard Limonov and I had a period during which we were just crazy about each other. One day I asked to be shaved. He agreed with ease and did so. And when the hair grew back, it became clear to me: it’s good to be bald. And that I feel so good, and I became a beauty, many said. However, the beauty should be with curls, glamorous. And having shaved, I did not cease to be beautiful. It became brutal, ”recalls Ekaterina Volkova.

- How many hours a day do you spend on shooting the series "Voroniny"?

Now we have a lot of tours, trips, so our schedules have changed a bit. But when we were filming in a denser mode, under the air, we spent six days a week filming, and it happened that we worked without days off at all.

- It turns out that the family sees you only at night?

Sometimes they don't even see you at night! If I'm not on the set, then I fly on tour, constant departures and arrivals, packing my bags. Sometimes you don't even have time to go home. Then I call my husband directly from the airport and ask him to bring me things.

Ekaterina with TV husband

- Is your husband jealous of your colleagues?

This stage has already passed. But at first he was wildly jealous of Dronov (Georgy Dronov, the performer of the role of Kostya Voronin, Ekaterina's serial "husband" - ed.)! We were not yet married at that time. And Andrei was very “lucky”: no matter how he comes to film set, so we lie with Dronov in bed. Now we are all friends and communicate with families. But it's good that the husband was jealous. It's good for relationships.

- Jealous - so loves?

I think yes. Does not beat, namely jealous! So it's not indifferent. I am also jealous of him and I think that this is right. If you treat a person with disregard, indifference, you don't care where he is and with whom - the relationship is over. So people just exist together. And if something hurts - it's good.

- How do you manage to combine work and a happy family life?

We must remember that we are all different people. My husband and I (Andrey Karpov, architect and professional dancer, married since 2010 - ed.) both creative people and we put a lot of effort into our work. When our schedules coincide and we are together for two or three days at home, this is happiness. But then we understand that we interfere with each other, and everyone needs some kind of personal space. It seems to me that our marriage rests on the fact that we love to spend time together at home, but at any moment we can go on tour and have time to miss. And when we come home, we simply do not have time for quarrels and resentments. I want to be in comfort and warmth, and not waste time on sorting out the relationship. Although they do exist.

“I thought you had the perfect family…”

What do you! We ordinary people and also quarrel over trifles. But these moments when we can be together after long separation- they are priceless.

With daughter Lisa

- Do you manage to plan weekends with your family?

I look at my parents: my mother is a housewife, and my father worked all his life from Monday to Friday. They always spent Saturday and Sunday together. For me it would be hard. Although now I look at couples who have this stability, who know that they dedicate the weekend to the family. We are all different. Lisa (daughter of Ekaterina and Andrey - ed. note) says: “Mom, I want to go to the theater!” OK, when? On Saturday? So, I'm shooting on Saturday. Come on, go with your dad. And then in response: "Mom, I want to be with you." And it’s superimposed on me that I need to be on the set in the morning, then I need to go to the theater for a performance with Lisa, and in the evening - the premiere of the musical “Ghost”, to which I go with my husband. And how can you plan something in such a schedule?

- Aren’t you tormented by remorse that you don’t “add” something to your family?

It happens. Of course, I try to somehow compensate for this time. I take my daughter with me to performances. Someone will say that this is wrong, that such behavior violates the child's regimen. But she is so happy! And I'm happy about it. Lisa helps me. She also loves to come to the set, because she grew up on the series "Voronin". Everyone knows her and she knows everyone. Sometimes we can misbehave and not go to class. We cook breakfast together: cheesecakes, scrambled eggs, set the table. Of course, like many working mothers, I buy her toys. Although she is already quite old, she herself understands that she has a lot of toys. Now we take puzzles, books.

- Does your daughter like to read?

Liza already reads herself and loves this activity very much. She recently read Mary Poppins to me aloud while I was preparing dinner. She herself chose such a serious book. First I watched our film, found a book, and started reading. True, the chapters in the book confused her, because in the cinema there is no splitting. But I explained everything to her, and everything fell into place.

- And who takes care of the child when you are on the road?

We entrust this responsible task to grandparents. But now, since we have moved and live far from them, we are looking for a good nanny. School is ahead, and it is important that Lisa is handled by a professional. We are looking for a female teacher. How to choose? Friends, of course, advise. But this is a difficult decision for me.

- It is known that you have three dogs in your house. How did you decide on this?

It wasn't really our choice. At first we only had a cat, he has been with us since 2007. But Liza really wanted a puppy! They chose a Spitz - he is small, cute and homely. Then my husband got excited about the idea of ​​getting another dog. And so fortunately I saw an ad on Facebook for the sale of an Akita Inu dog. Andrey was delighted with her! Then Liza and I made dad a present. And the third puppy appeared recently, when we had already moved into the house. Bo (Akita Inu dog) found him and took "patronage" over him. The foundling was named Ru, full name- Runet, as the name was chosen by the whole world.

- By the way, about the house. All the fans on your instagram follow the repair. How is he progressing?

We already live in the house, but the renovation is still in progress. Small touches are being added. I want to do everything as well as possible. This is our first joint housing, we have been looking for it for a very long time. In the beginning, there was only a box, which we transform as we see fit. There is a school nearby, it is not long to go to the city, we were very lucky with our neighbors. And most importantly, how everything coincided in one place, although we dreamed of our own vein for a very long time. But it is not in vain that they say: there is a time for everything.

- Did you and your husband argue during the renovation?

We are still fighting! We an ordinary family. We argue about wallpaper, about furniture, how what should stand. Although my husband controls the whole process, I make only minor changes. However, Andrei cannot always be in place, he has many other objects (Ekaterina's husband is also an architect - ed.). So I have to supervise the workers. And they all pull. Sometimes it seems to me that I live with them in different worlds. I want this to be over as soon as possible.

- Do you have matriarchy, patriarchy or democracy in your family?

What matriarchy or patriarchy, what are you talking about? It will not work with me, with Andrey and even more so. We try to find compromises. With her husband to act directly, in the forehead will not work. His great-grandmother was a gypsy. Can you imagine the blood in it? So I do what most women do: I said yes and I did it my way.
