— In your biography of the beginning of the creative path, it is written like this: you came to Moscow and almost immediately got into the "Theater on Pokrovka", then there was an artist Talented Sergey Architsybashev. Why did you go through just a year?
- Unfortunately, they did not come together. As far as fully understanding and listening, and at the beginning of work, the misunderstanding began.
—And what was it for listening?
- Listening passed in front of the entire troupe, which gathered before the end of the season. I read something, and then Sergey Nikolayevich asked to sing under the guitar. I was confused: I knew only the "Blatnyak" and an informal rock (laughs), and he loved romances. I take the tool and theatrically asking what to sing: "Can you be matery?" He just saved me with this question! And then I sang a song from the "Civil Defense". That was what he entered the classic state theater.
Arzybashev was a brilliant director, I learned a lot. But we were strictly forbidden to work somewhere else, to film. I do not know whether he knew that I was dancing in the evenings in restaurants (it was with our sister and sister such a hobby, bringing money), because every day at 11 am I was already in the theater. I have a car: inexpensive and with Belarusian rooms. But, I think he understood that with a girl who receives 4,200 rubles in the theater, something and somewhere occurs. And when the rehearsals of "Styles" began, I stopped hiding. To be held at Todorovsky - what could be better for just who came to Moscow actresses?! Sergey Nikolaevich understood that I would continue to work in the movies. I did not let him down, did not miss any play, but our relationship was complicated, and I was preparing to leave the theater. The last two months of work there I had a temperature of +37.2 every day. It was worth out the threshold - 36.6. Such is the energy. I do not regret that I was gone, and I am glad that the theater on the cover was in my life: this is invaluable experience with a good deep director.
—The theater was then left, but even recently you said that we still do not consider yourself a full-fledged film actress. Why?
- Yes, I said so, considering that my main work is the theater that I love very much. And I think that an actor who does not have theatrical experience loses a lot. First of all, because the cinema is not so often gives good material for work. And in the theater - both dramaturgy and role analysis. It is extremely rare in the cinema, and in the series and suppressed, the actors have the possibility of rehearsals.
Fortunately, this situation is changing, and I change the opinion. But I still do not consider myself a film actress. Waiting for the role that will shoot. All the actors are waiting for this. Although I have become much more confident to feel on the set. The main thing is that everything continues and developed.

—Where do you have such a singing name?
"Janina called my great-grandmother, and give me this name suggested dad." Our family from the western part of Belarus, the pedigree goes from Poland, the name of Polish origin, and one time it was very popular.
Now I like to be Janina, although I have shy for a long time, and until 26 I was just called me just Jan. In my first short film "War" with Anatoly Cat in the credits I mean like Yana Buoshiko. Then I wore dadnight. Only then became Melekhova, took Mother's name by Maiden. Always dreamed about her, but for Pope it was hard. He is a classic male education, but in the end allowed. And then I and the name Dorosla, I became Yanina.
—But are you somewhere else and Melekhov-Goryachev?
- And this is in the passport. My husband is called Maxim Goryachev. And when I got married, did not change the surname, Boyko remained. Then, all my circles of hell ended with a change of citizenship and all documents. There was no strength to go through it again. The husband was not against. But when Anna-Maria was born, I felt the time had to turn into Melekhov. I took my mother's surname and second, my husband, Goryachev. But as an actress I am Melekhova. Often try to write Melekhov through "and", but I say: "No, not Chekhov, and Sholokhov, through 'e". (Laughs.)
—What do you like in the behavior of my daughter?
- Her attention and participation in my life. I sometimes seem to me that it cares about me, and not me about her. Although Annie is still small and behaves accordingly. She is normal, sometimes a naughty child, runs, jumps, plays. At the same time, the wounded, very thinly feels everything attentive to my mood. She knows that I have a difficult job that I get tired and physically, and morally. When I come home, runs up, asks how my mood is. It's interestingly right that I do: Water to bring, cook delicious? She seven years old, and she recently, when I got sick and strongly temperatilate, made a blank for 20 cupcakes: I mixed up two types of dough with chocolate and sea buckthorn jam. Posted in the molds. And no one taught it. Said: "Well, what's there?" Having delivered a neighbor, we have no oven, I asked to bake. And five days, while I was sick, she did everything. Constantly asks how I'm doing. And always calls mom. In general, it is expensive. I'm sometimes crying sometimes.

—Did she see your filmmakes?
"She knows that there are adult films, but does not like to watch them and does not ask. He says she is a child, and film 12+ and she is still early. (Laughs.) But we are together listening to the audio shooters that I wrote beautifully for the radio. We look at "Elash", I am there in two series. A couple of years ago, starred in advertising one telephone company in the image of Marilyn Monroe, and when the daughter heard the sounds of this advertisement, immediately fled to the TV with the words "this is my mother."
—And your spouse Maxim also helps you in household?
- Sure. While I talk to you, he prepared breakfast. Wait. (Laughs.) We have no problems with life. He is not the fact that my right hand, he is part of me. I do not know how to cope without it. I'm completely calmly leaving for shooting, on tour, knowing that the child will be fed, wearing, maybe it is not always combed, but it is already trivia.
—You do not have a division of work on the house on female and male?
- There are some things that I do not like to do I and who do not like to do Maxim. I have this download dishwasher. I'm angry if the plate does not get up correctly. It makes her husband. Tea do not like to brew. A strange thing, but he always has a tasteful. But I cook without any problems - and do it well.
—He does not jealous of you to work?
"No, he understands me and knows how important for me is what I do." Maxim initially knew who was taken to his wife. (Laughs.) Otherwise, we could not coexist with it.

—And you knew who they contacted?
- Yes. Maxim far from the acting world. He is engaged in sales in the field of sports.
—Does he come to the theater on your performances?
- necessarily. I try to call him on the premiere. And since it is absolutely not associated with art, his feedback for me is much more important than the opinions of many colleagues and critics. And creative people, especially directors, are very like to conduct analysis, saying: I would have done so, added something. But this is not their performance, someone else's. We need to look like Maxim, extensively. Without envy, without jealousy, without an attempt to creative analysis. He is the usual viewer, an honest person, what is the right now, and one of my best critics and advisers. It does not try to seem better than it is, or to learn some benefit. He I believe the most.
—Many actors do not put photos of their children in social networks, you boldly show your daughter. Do not be afraid that they will decorate?
- She is so pretty, well, how not to show it? Yes, and what to be afraid. If they want to smooth, make it through me. For a child there is nothing worse than if you smooth my mother. Well, how do we, artists, otherwise live, if not to show yourself? This is our job. Therefore there is no fear.
