Elena Podkaminskaya talks about childbirth, children and personal life - interview

A beautiful actress, famous not only formulti-part productions, but also for her work in the wonderful "What Men Talk About", recently became a mother for the second time. In August, 38-year-old Elena Podkaminskaya gave birth to a girl. And already in November, the star mother is going to return to work. About this and much more - in an interview for the readers of "Antenna". - Now on Channel One, the series "Sleepers" with your participation is on. What was the most memorable thing during the filming? With which of the partners did you manage to become friends?- For me, an important criterion of participation in that orAnother project is an image that I would catch fire. After reading the script, I originally wanted to play the role of Elena (she was eventually played by Karina Razumovskaya - "Antennas" note), but the director saw the distribution of roles differently. Why agreed to the role of Pauline? I really wanted to work with director Yuri Bykov, and there was one scene in the script, which seemed very interesting actor's. Interacting with partners was very comfortable, but this experience once again convinced me that in the format of 4-5 shooting days for the whole history of the image, it's difficult for me to work and partly is counter-indicative. When you only begin to feel the hero's tonality at last, your strength and weakness, the character opening depth, and already almost everything is shot, it becomes uncomfortable. I'm definitely not the actress of small runs. I need more space to immerse in the image, the ability to search and think, more detailed rehearsal tests to the "motor" team. And I remember the shooting that was especially interesting for me the scene in which my heroine breaks through to sincerity and bare expression, was shot in extreme conditions. When the time came for this scene, it turned out that we were already being kicked from the object of filming. Happiness, that I always prepare in advance, and I had a precise understanding that it is important for me to play. For two takes I did it as best I could. Honestly, after that I cried from the experience of stress. Then, already at the scoring, I was very surprised that at that time I still won this "battle with production".Photo: Stanislav Boiko-Congratulations on the birth of your second daughter! How has your life changed with the advent of Eve? How did the elder Polina take her sister?- From my line of natural parenting, I do notretreated, on the contrary, it deepened - gave birth at home, immediately put the baby to her chest and do not tear myself away from myself. I live the life of a child, so it's better not to ask if I'm getting enough sleep. The state of the soul is inexpressibly happy, and the complexities are all expected. I adore the water and therefore very much appreciate the moments when I manage to stand under the streams of hot water or kill two birds with one stone - together with Eve "swim" in the bathroom. At Polina sister did not fall from the ceiling, the theme of the appearance of the younger sister, we all cooked. Since Polya was always in the center, the whole world was spinning around her and she was bathed in insane adoration and love, she is now difficult. Often she comes running to me and asks if I love her and ... who is more, her or Eve. I wonder why I spend so much time with a little girl. I tell her a lot about how we lived with her and how I fed her all the time, how we slept together, swam, that everything was as it is now happening to Eve. Therefore, in this uneasy situation for Poli there is no irritability, hysteria, or harshness. To the little one she is insanely gentle and affectionate, and she repeats everything for me: how do I touch Yevina's fingers, kiss and iron, communicate with the little sister warmly and sincerely. For me, it's always a moment of happiness. - Pauline went to the first grade this year? What are her successes at school?- This year Polina began to master the courseprimary schooling, but within the framework of family education. I believe that this approach is more in line with the personal and individual development of Polina. The family form of training gave me the opportunity to saturate Polina's life with interesting subjects: French, dance and streaming, jazz vocal, elementary music and piano, iso-art, sport ... She has an active and interesting life, creatively saturated. While she enjoys it all. Those who communicate with it and develop it - people are extraordinary and interesting.Photo: First Channel - This year you can be seen in some films and performances or decided to devote oneself to the family?- I return to the profession smoothly and gradually: I am very anxious about the first year of Eve's life, where breastfeeding on demand and the inseparable proximity of mother and child are the basis of her development and happiness. But already on November 2 I play the favorite literary solo performance "The Careless Actress" on the New Stage of the Vakhtangov Theater, and on November 10 and 24 in the Satire Theater I will play my Diana in the performance "A Dog in the Manger". Ahead of me is shooting a new project for the STS channel, and Eva, of course, will go to play and shoot with me. - You have literary solo performances in which you read works of different authors. And in moments of sadness and joy, which authors are you referring to?- In my life, in moments of sadness and joywrapping yourself in a blanket, making yourself some tea, and addressing the authors while lying in a rocking chair is an unaffordable luxury. If I had it, I would happily immerse myself in the world of Chekhov or Pushkin.
