In the cult film "Tomorrow was the war" Irina played a heroine named Iskra Polyakova. And then in real life from the spark, the real flame was burned. At least everything was taken by Irina, she did with a twinkle. Oh such as she usually write books and shoot movies. So many events in one separately brought life is expensive!
Let's start with your young years. After the premiere "Tomorrow was war," you became incredibly popular. And suddenly they disappeared somewhere. As it turned out, we decided to go to the monastery. What for? Why?
Irina Cheryichenko: "This happened in his youth, so the situation was. I was filmed in the picture of the Belarusian film studio "Birds wings not in a burden." And it was in the Pskov Kremlin in the Pskov Kremlin, where I met completely bright and spiritual people. I spent three months on the set, and I was tightened so much that for many more months I was deeply worried about my return to Moscow. In the end, I realized that I would like to live at least a little in the monastery. I was taken to Pewsnsky Monastery My Spiritual Mentor Father Zinoviy from the Pskovo-Pechersk Monastery. I arrived there for a month, but remained nine. And I did not understand what I do next. Something worried me. Ultimately, I realized that for life in the monastery it is necessary to have a certain warehouse of character. What I was not in me. In me - a storm, fire, I have to rush somewhere, to someone to prove something. And in the monastery, no one had to prove anything. There are only humility from you. And then they suggested or take a tonsure, or leave. Before Teshig, I prayed for several days and nights. And everything inside me said that this is not mine. I even threw a coin - eagle or rush. Although it did not tell anyone. Imagine a believer throws a coin! Eagle - I'm leaving, the rush is left. And three times I had an eagle. I gathered little things and went with the father of Zinovy in Pskov, and from there to Moscow. "
Do you always throw a coin?
Irina: "Yes! (Laughs.) I am so in the theater. Eagle - "Pike", the rush is "sofk". In general, I do it very often. "
And everything turns out?
Irina: "Percent for eighty I always guess."
Are you now a believer?
Irina: "I am a believer, but not so choking, which could be, if I hadn't tried life in the monastery. My attitude to religion is in no way connected with our political church that exists today. I am very far from this. Especially avoiding large temples, mass accumulation of people. I feel somewhat differently. "
I heard that you are engaged in oriental practitioners. Your faith in God does not prevent this?
Irina: "No, does not interfere. After all, I believe in the highest mind that helps us and makes it possible to survive on this earth. This is not at all relevant to attachment and worship of some kind of image. I and in eastern practices say more about the fact that the world is my God. "

Probably often in India?
Irina: "Yes, in India well. But I go there not so much because of the practitioner how much because of my health. I have asthma and all sorts of cancer problems. Due to illness, I have to resort to surgical interventions, and then you need to restore yourself. And when I was in a deplorable state (the disease, constant shooting in the TV shows, I didn't even want to live), it was then that I got into the Ayurvedic Center in Moscow, in the wonderful hands of Dr. Shawar. There I was explained that I have a scorched body syndrome. In this center, I was put in order, and I realized that I just need to visit India. That's how I was there. Four years ago it took yoga. And this despite the fact that at that time in complete exhaustion, weighed less than fifty kilograms, could not even do breathing exercises, the basis of yoga (my head was spinning), and fainted. But for three weeks I have gained myself. Connected a soul with a body. And returning from India, after a month and a half, in general, in general, with psychotropic drugs, on which one and a half years were tight. I can say that for me it is really very useful. Now I tell everyone that you need to love myself, to pay attention to myself, and most importantly - to find time. But most people in cities are engaged in silence, trying to restore forces. This is a real utopia. We must leave - just so you can free yourself. And it is impossible to leave for less than three weeks. This is mediocrely discarded money. Only during this time a person at least somehow can come back to normal. But such vacations should be at least two per year, and better three or four. "
From Sumy and from prison ...
And again the excursion in the past. In your biography it is written: after the failed care to the monastery, you unexpectedly got ... to a Spanish prison. And where did you find yourself?
Irina: "Long story. In the yard - dashing nineties. It was a period of timeless, films were not filmed, no one went to the theater. I did not serve anywhere, there were no proposals in the movie. And my husband's friends who separated from the "Rhythms of the Planet" ensemble, invited me to themselves. They needed a fifteenth dancer who would have left them for nine months on tour, but then did not claim a place in the ensemble. I agreed because I also have a ballet education. For a month and a half, I learned the repertoire, joined the team and left to work for the south of Spain, in Benidorm. "

It seems everything is officially, but how did it happen that you were taken to the police?
Irina: "I had rights, I am good I drive a car, from 89th year. Yes, and we earned a dear penny - forty-five dollars a week. And when I ran around the beach in the morning, I got acquainted with young sports guys playing football. We began to communicate in the morning. They learned how much I earn, and asked if I didn't want to go on Mondays when I had a day off, ride Barcelona or Madrid to carry them. Payment - fifty dollars a day. I naturally agreed. And he drove them enough long - a month and a half. While one day in Barcelona in the morning, when we went out of the hotel, did not "accepted" the police. "Footballers" turned out to be drug traders, they had long been hunting for a long time. I have no idea about drugs. I was told that Spanish ballet is all under drugs, but it seemed to me that the guys were just fun and smiling. In general, I had a heart attack from which I came out. I was lucky that a man was sitting in the police station in the archive, who during the war served in the Soviet army during the war. He knew Russian very well. And when I had the first interrogation, he came and said that I was not worried about - they say, the Spaniards do not have anything on me. They just watched these guys for a long time, and I was near. In general, I met good people. "Athletes" -Arkotkovkov told the police that I didn't have it, just drove them. And the police then took me back to Benidorm. And it all ended for me without dramatic serious consequences. "
How much did your imprisonment last?
Irina: "Three days. But for the psyche there was more than enough. It is not surprising that I immediately flew away from Spain, replacing until the end of the contract. "

Nine years in "Koyka"
And what happened on arrival?
Irina: "Returning to Moscow, I have been sick for a long time. Apparently, internal stress caused a disease. I sat at home and a month and a half and returned very hard to Moscow reality. Then met with his old friend who headed one very famous Finnish confectionery company in the Russian market. He suggested carrying tastings and presentations to its products in Moscow. I agreed. Somehow representatives of the Belgian company approached me at the exhibition. They were amazed by my English, my community, openness, and - what is there! - artistry. They offered me the place of the Director of Representative Office and a very good salary. So began my business career. I have worked for fourteen years by the Director of Representative Office, Director for Sales, Marketing, Director for the Development of New Projects. As they say, it was very successful in narrow business circles. Later he was engaged in yogurts. Then there was a chocolate project. But soon I decided to leave the business. "
Why?
Irina: "I have always listened to my body. And when I was discovered a tumor, I realized that it was time to leave. Of course, the business is money, well-being, freedom, it is an apartment in the center, this is an opportunity to raise a child whom I brought up alone. But it is very important in life in time to stop. "
Wasn't it scary?
Irina: "Of course, it was very scary to stay without good work, a fixed salary. But I decided to leave and gone. And just at this time of my son invited the named after Gorky to Casting. I went with him. After another operation, all in the seams, tied, absolutely gray color. I sit in the corridor and I look at my photo from the movie "And tomorrow was war." I cry and think: "Lord, did I really imagine that someday I will sit on my favorite film studio and wait for a son from casting? I, no one needed actress Cherichenko ... "Suddenly the door opens, a woman pops out from there and appeals to me:" Ira! Cherichenko! My name is Marina Karnayev, we once worked together in the picture, it was long ago ... I was your son said that you were sitting in the corridor. Where are you? What is with you? "I replied that nowhere. And then she said that she had his own acting agency. And if I do not mind, she would love to work with me with pleasure. I burst out and agreed, because I really wanted to return to the profession. And now the ninth year we work together. "
"Just going to rest on three weeks, you can recover. But such vacations should be at least two per year. " In the photo - in Namibia. Photo: Personal archive of Irina Cheryichenko.
In your life there were so many tests ... Tell me, the difficulties that had to overcome, did you help or prevented you?
Irina: "I treat everything philosophically. Probably through it it was necessary to go through. And these are signs to be paid attention to, something to change. I generally live stages. So I decided that if before forty years I would not go on the stage, I will forget about the actor forever. And just on the eve of my thirty-nineth anniversary, director Vanya Shchegolev called me. Asked how I treat the profession and what I'm doing now. I replied that I was lying in the jacuzzi, and I am wonderful to the profession. At Vanya, I starred in the movie "Looking Down". On this picture, my partner was Andrei Sokolov. I remember, Andrei asked me once: "You are a very good actress, why not get off?" And I am: "Andryush, you think that after the fourteen years of downtime I need to go outside and scream: I am a good actress, take me? Or start calling directors? "And then he invited me to his performance" Koyka ". I looked, I liked it. And he suggested working in a second part with Terechova. For a whole year, I waited for my scene. And on August 1, two days before my forty-hall, Andrei allowed me to play my premiere in St. Petersburg. I played the performance as in a dream ... I was shaking from happiness! It was such an adrenaline! .. How could I live so many years without scene?! Nine years I worked in this formulation. Unfortunately, by the state of health last year I had to leave my favorite performance, which I owe my return. "

Aleshkin Love
You were married several times. Among your ex-spouses, for example, actor Valery Yaremenko. Usually women talk about their former or bad, or in any way. How much I have read your interviews, you always call back your men only positively, no dirt ...
Irina: "Why should I talk about something negative about them? I never thought bad about myself, so it always surrounded myself with cute and pleasant men. I can say that I am a happy man. I have no friends who would betray me, I never lent money to not return. I can be friends, I love people close to me, and therefore everything comes back to me. (Smiles.) And I treat all your former husbands with great respect and gratitude for all together the years. It is necessary to be a strong person and have a greater power of will, so that at some point to honestly tell yourself that everything went. And that you can stay beautiful friends. Why rape each other? We are still so young, we still have so many opportunities ... Intimate life is one thing, and friendly relationships are completely different. If something disappears, you need to let go of each other. I live exactly on this principle, so I have no bitter aftertaste. Well, besides, I am not from those people who live for someone else's account. For a long time I can earn myself and ensure myself. Therefore, I do not demand anything without anything. This is probably also one of the indicators of good relationships. If you need, then people will help themselves. And if you start demanding, threatening, here and the problems begin. "
Now you live with the famous television leading Alexey Lysenkov. How are you together? It seems to me that you are completely different people.
Irina: "We are very comfortable existing with Lesha, although really very different and we do not coincide with almost one preference. He adores fishing, boats, motorcycles and cars, football, TV. I am theaters, museums, ballet, opera, yoga. But we respect our interests and desires. Therefore, without pressure, we enjoy the fact that we like what we love. "

And how do you get it?
Irina: "For this, we have our own interests. I have my own, the female, which he knows well, he has a male, with which I am also closely familiar. We trust each other, and this is the key to the success of our joint coexistence. But we, of course, try to hold more time when it appears. For example, traveling always together. This is what we do not give anyone. We plan for a year ahead. And we try to go skiing several times per season. We are really very comfortable together, because we love each other. And it is very important to give close to freedom to fulfill their desires. Life is so short! .. Every year you understand what to spend it to suppress our aspirations, to do what destroys your own world, is incorrect. I have like a joke: "How do you relax?" - "And I'm not straining."
I heard that Alexey is now preparing a new project on television. This is true?
Irina: "As for the new show, it is difficult for me to predict something. Of course, I really want the project to be interesting for the audience to see Alexey in the new role, it's time. Now the most difficult period and the group, and in Lesha. All work for twenty hours. Therefore, at home I try it to be sure to wait and exchange with him at least a couple of words so that he felt my support. And otherwise why do you need the second half? "
