Rarely in which family each representative is self-sufficient, entertaining and known to the general public. It is just such a case. Parents actress Mary Mashkova do not have to represent: Elena Shevchenko and Vladimir Mashkov have long acquired status and recognition, and their daughter, continuing the dynasty, was not lost against the background of talented colleagues. Today, Maria lives into two countries: when not being removed, then in Los Angeles, with her husband - Pianist, director and producer Alexander Slobodynican - and two daughters. Our meeting occurred just in the work months. Masha came running in a cafe on Tverskaya in a cozy sweater connected with her beloved grandmother, and with an impressive package of literature. Details - in an interview with the magazine "Atmosphere".
- Maria, you, as well as me, leave the bookstore with a complete list of ...
- I can not differently. My parentitarian triumph happened the other day! Since I am now in separation with my children, I came up with a ritual: Evening reading. That is, I read the books out loud, I send my husband, and he puts this audio recording daughters. Now, in no matter what I was tired of being, I will definitely take the book. Over the past month, we read "Peppi Long-rolls", Zoshchenko, poems and prose Harms, a funny story about Luska Soviet writer Irina Pivovarova ... So here's three weeks after my undertaky, the eight-year-old Stefania, began to send me a response message: now I fall asleep under "Smart dog Sonya" in its execution. Moreover, the youngest, six-year-old Alexander, also connected to this. This is such a cool connection! And, of course, parental manipulation to force his child in the XXI century to read. (Smiles.) Do not watch videos, but listen and develop fantasy ...

- Daughters - creative nature, in mom with dad?
- I am convinced that all the children are creative, but alone pulls into a humanitarian sphere, and others - in the technically-mathematical world, completely incomprehensible to me.
- Is that a man who graduated from school with a silver medal? ..
- And you know how much good estimates did it only because I adequately imagined our school, received medals on literary olympiads for the declaration of poems?! The exact sciences still went worse. And my girls are more humanitaries, love to dance, draw ... Painting, by the way, is mastered with a teacher. Still engaged in music - naturally, under the strict control of the father-pianist. (Smiles.) Fanya plays on the piano and saxophone, and the younger ala - on the piano and blockball. We are very movable. The eldest easily twisted the "wheel" and infected this sister. Alya herself learned him to do and now literally obsessed - every day trains.
- They grow and learn in America, where purposefulness is stimulated from the young age ...
- Yes, here my spouse in the USA will live from twelve years, it has absolutely western mentality, but as a Russian man, incredibly ill for Russia, wants children to be initially bilingual consciousness. By the way, I noticed that our compatriots who live abroad are often much more concerned about the fate of their homeland. They know her story perfectly, and in the broadest aspect, and in general are not indifferent. Even in your own example, I observe it. Before it began to live on two countries, I studied on our textbooks and absorbed only one point of view. When it was out of Russia, the horizons were expanded and significantly enriched with new knowledge.

- How long do you already live on two houses?
- Somewhere seven years. And, to my huge surprise, during this time I noticed that it became much more to love Moscow. I have fantastic friends here! Although they have already appeared there. For example, the composer Anna Drubich. In addition to love for the capital, I discovered that it became more grateful to treat my profession. Being on American Earth, I suddenly remembered how difficult it is to get a role! It is clear that in any country there are sought-after artists who successfully "hit the jet" and go from one large project to another, but they are not so much. The rest, among which were really quite gifted, sometimes they cannot "catch the wave." They are capable, let's say cool to play, but visually do not fit into the image or they lack a happy case, some influential acquaintances ...
In America, I have an agent, I go to the samples and was convinced how difficult to get there even the most tiny role: insane competition! At some point, I remember, I already began to fall into despair, called my husband in tears and he calmed me, said that everything would work out, it was only in the number of blows at one point. And it turned out to be right: unexpectedly approved me on the role in the TV series "McMafia". It was a real holiday! Those samples that I liked, I recorded, probably, once thirty, and independently, without the help of my husband, since it was in Moscow.

Thus, having seen the other side of the medal, I began to appreciate that in Russia sometimes even without samples I get roles. And I do not treat this circumstance as proper. Therefore, I am striking me when in our country, media artists, famous for many TV shows, can afford to be late for the site, come with the unbearable text and teach it in place, with colleagues ... It is clear that this is most often caused by the usual stream when many projects Combined simultaneously, or ordinary indifference, when the material is bored and the person is simply "not included." This is categorically impossible in the USA: you immediately get blacklist. I am at home by downloading a special resource, I regularly listen to the lectures of the brilliant directors, and also discovered courses to Ivan Chabbak. In America, a completely different acting system: learn throughout life. In these advanced training courses, people can be found from eighteen to eighty-five years, and among them there are already the stars - however, they are mainly engaged in a particular way. The study is incredibly exciting, every week you make some passages ... Everything is completely different than in my native "pike". There I had a Vakhtangov School, and Chabbak is a sequence of Stanislavsky. More precisely, it combines the classical postulates of Konstantin Sergeevich and Psychiatry. She seemed to change my acting structure. It seems to me that all my most interesting works began after it. I began to "go from myself" in my roles and thus close your own gestal.
- Where in the near future can we watch you?
- In America, passing the TOFL exam, which allows you to become a student, I went to study at the Institute for the Production Faculty. There was not enough spirit to the directorial. (Smiles.) Yes, I speak well, I read, but I was missing knowledge. Attending ordinary courses are boring, and so, in parallel with the development of the language in class, I also get one diploma with a new profession, plus I can quickly understand the profile literature. We adopted that many producers find funding, take themselves most of the funds, and the rest are removed in hard savings. But this is an anomaly. In fact, the producing is not only about money and budget, but about creative ideas primarily about a set of an effective team. After studying, I am like-minded people invented the Masha From Russia hooligan project, where we play with my girlfriend Ira Gorbacheva. As a result, the pilot in Los Angeles was removed. Now, I hope we will proceed to shooting the first season. In addition, soon on one of the federal channels should be the wonderful eight-grade film "Woman in a state of divorce" on the scenario of the debutantching of Anastasia Kuznetsova; Directors there are also newcomers - Olga Safronova and Dmitry Gaitane, Operator Yasha Bashta. I really value this work. And my genre is a favorite - tragicomedy. When he knocks seventy years, on his benefit, I will definitely demonstrate excerpts from this Telecomty. (Smiles.) And I am now busy on the set of Sixteenisseriy tape "Idealist" of St. Petersburg director Denis Neumananda, with Sergey Pustopalis in the lead role. I play the former singer there, which became an intern in the police department.

"But, objectively speaking, such a popular, popularly remembered leading role in a high-quality full meter while you do not have ...
- I'm more lucky with the TV shows. Sometimes they slip high-quality. Although I love two full meters: "Closed spaces" and "Escape from MoscowBad".
- You admitted that while learn to the wisdoms are not ready to learn, but in the meantime, your parents are Vladimir Mashkov and Elena Shevchenko - great not only artists, but also the director. In the future, let's go to their footsteps and in this area?
- While the courage and certain knowledge I miss. I do not exclude anything for myself and now I pass the accumulation path. I have not yet fully realize yourself as actresses.
- What do you have with the theater? You came to the stage for the first time at the very seven age - and immediately turned out to be near Natalia Gundarere and Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. Then they served in the "Lenkom", played in the theater.doc, in the play, mom supplied ...
- This is all in the past, unfortunately. I had to abandon the theater because of my today's lifestyle. But, since I am a very theater, I hope it is temporary.
- As I understand it, in the future it would be perfect for two countries to work for you, and equally intense, right?
- I move towards cosmopolitanism. (Smiles.) Would love to work in Europe. It would be good to live for some time in France, let's say - I don't care, I learned French! But at the same time I do not intend to leave my homeland forever. My culture, language, identification is important to me. And as many talented professionals in our country, with whom one pleasure work!

- Tell how your American day is usually built.
- Since I arrive from Russia after a long lasting period, then I definitely missed with my daughters. I feed the breakfast in the morning, I take it to school and participate in a very pretty tradition: along with other parents I am following and watching our children under the vigorous music on the street, good weather allows you to have a mandatory charge. They have a very beautiful Fizruk, and it is also just aesthetic pleasure for women. (Smiles.) With a sense of parent debt, I usually go to the sport. In a country where I do not have permanent employment - and I used to work every day from seventeen years - this is the best way out. Just to idle the month you do not know how: depression covers. I have already passed it.
- Do you pay a lot of time?
- To be honest, I'm not a fan of the cleaning process, but I like when it is clean in the house. As for the cooking, I love when the husband is preparing. In general, if a man is in the kitchen is a fascinating action. Sasha pumped me with exquisite dishes. For example, drops salmon to boiling water, after a few seconds it takes out - and the plate is a gentle fish, decorated with spinach, as in the most steep restaurants. And this is without any shelter manipulations. And what kind of scallops are obtained!
- If I ask, what American habits you have managed to get, then you will answer me ...
- Yes, I hooked on the head, although he has already spread everywhere on the planet. No, I do not run in the morning along the ocean - after all, our apartment is located far from it, but I joined the sport. If my student was fashionable to smoke cigarettes, drinking wine and it seemed to me what I am the actress without these attributes (laughs), then now I quit smoking, began to experiment with useful food and downloaded itself with different forms of physical activity. I tried a lot. Now I am experiencing a real buzz from Barre-fitness. He still, as far as I know, did not reach Russia. In it, choreography is organically combined with sports, and those groups of muscles are involved, which in ordinary life inactive. I also adore hot yoga: she gives me enormous forces! So I added to this in America.

- You casually mentioned about some attacks of despair and depression than I was somewhat surprised. I perceived you as a girl resistant and cheerful ...
- Oh, that's great! I have a good psychiatrist. (Smiles.) Irina is a psychiatrist, not a psychologist, I realized that this science is more interesting to me. Psychology is mostly conversations, and psychos-atria are clear schemes, various techniques, concepts. It is a pity that this sphere is undervalued in Russia. We believed that if you contact a professional, then weak. You have free time to reflect, and money so that they seem to be on the wind. People prefer to ship by their problems of friends and relatives. And it seems to me, many to maintain a harmonious balance, a specialist help is required.
- Of course, in the early years, the main thing is laid. Are you an authoritarian mother?
- For the authority and rigor, our dad is responsible. I often absent, I am removed in Russia and return to my girls with a sense of guilt. With a bunch of gifts I don't look like a mother, but as rarely a trip ...
- You directly repeat the scenes of your childhood and appear already in the role of your father, whom they also have seen from the case of the case ...
- Exactly. Do you think why I turned to a psychiatrist? (Laughs.) Because I realized that I did not solve many serious questions regarding our parents. I robbed with them rarely. I was brought up with grandparents, surrounded care, seeing how I was deprived of parental attention. Naturally, in such a situation I became a master of manipulation ... Still, I suppose, to five years old, children should be near their parents, to avoid all sorts of trouble in the future. It is clear that I do not condemn my mother with dad - I adore them! But as parents and grandfather treats her parents. It is a fact. And I was horrified when I realized that I began to make similar mistakes with my children. I flew, gave up - and immediately ran away, because I didn't know what to do with them: I was constantly, every second you need something ... Before the first trip, I doubted my psychiatrist: what if I was going to cry and scream, the psyche would not be So mobile, and I pay for this money ... It turned out that it was all nonsense. On the contrary, after sessions, it is better to understand yourself and own the body - it becomes easier to cause certain emotional manifestations. Funny, but as soon as I turned to a psychiatrist, I was approved for the role of a girl with a diagnosis of Schizophrenia. While the project is frozen, but in the future it would be interesting to embody this image. Be sure to call your doctor Irina to the platform, and we will experiment together. (Smiles.)

- Parents now for you - Nearest friends?
- They are my fantastic adventure! We are very close to my mother today, despite the fact that they are fundamentally different, and if there were a peer, I would not even mind to make such a girl with my girlfriend. (Smiles.) For a couple of years ago, she combined all the qualities, completely unacceptable in friendship, in my opinion. But now she turns into a superant, and I am proud of her. She recently graduated from College in New York, received the formation of a professional photographer and, in general, became much more collected, so matured. True, the organization of life is still indifferent. Now she is just the guests from me, and I can state it with all evidence. Mom is peculiar to creative mess, and I physically ill in the mess. Therefore, I force her to wash the dishes, put things ... True, I recently heard such the theory that the one who hysterically strives for sterile premises is experiencing an inner barrier, and the one who serves himself in the chaos harmoniously in this world. I don't know where the truth, but I here know myself specially practicing on the relaxation: sometimes I do not refuel the bed. Although the husband immediately does for me. That's what it means ten years of life with me! (Smiles.) Yes, and I can not not say that mom is perfectly preparing. It can treat Divine Borsch, but once. Now we are learning together to find a common language, and it has become for me to turn into that soft, understanding, caring mom, which I dreamed about when was small. And I also like the fact that the gift parents in the dosage version of communication are now for me - what is needed.
- How are traditionally held meetings with dad?
- I love to come to visit him, sit in the chair in his big room and chat on different topics ... Kayfu from his black sense of humor! We exchange rather rude jokes that are not understood by all. And lately I run to him in the theater, kiss, give daisies and run away. (Smiles.)
- He is inclined to give you advice - as part of creativity and part of personal life.
- Dad is a superdigal person, so my romantic relationship never intervened. And regarding the work, he can give advice, only if I ask him about it. In general, when the parents are unobtrusive, engaged in themselves, then you won in many ways.
- When the father is a recognized sex symbol, hypnotically affecting the opposite sex, brutal, charismatic and ever-slipping, for sure his adult daughter begins to fall in love with such men, right?
- Of course. My first love is a pouched dad. And also an actor. Still, I was convinced that men artists are a complete failure for living together. I am amazed by those women who manage to be close to them.
- Can you call yourself a family man?
- I am for permanent relationships - both in love and in friendship. I don't want to talk about my previous marriage, but I am grateful to my first husband for doing everything so that I can up with him and meet my second husband. I myself would hardly leave if he did not provide me with such an opportunity.
- Your spouse Alexander Slobodynik is a hereditary musician, a pianist with a brilliant career, who became still director and producer ... Under what circumstances did you meet such a unique person?
- At the bottom of the birth of Paul Derevko. And now every year we congratulate it from the heart. Sasha was friends for a long time with Paul, with Yura Kolfolnikov, with Zyganov's wife, and when I met him, it was his first visit to Russia after he left the teenager with his parents to the West. Then I immediately felt that he liked, but I, despite the fact that Sasha was a very attractive man, did not experience anything like that. I guess the reason was that at that time I was still married. But then so coincided that I quickly, literally in a couple of months, divorced and in a state of a free girl met with Sasha again. My girlfriend Anya said that Sasha asked her, where the husband was going to ... Having learned that the legitimate marriage was not born, showed me.
- Feel what is your man?
- Some instinctive level felt that I want children from him. Before that, I never caught myself on such thoughts. And here it was directly introduced which children we can get! Such was a pragmatic calculation. (Smiles.) By the way, Sasha also thought about it. Despite the presence of several marriages behind his back, until the meeting with me, he was not yet a father.

- Do you and your spouse are similar characters?
- No, Sasha is an adult, wise, calm, judicial, patient, and throughout our joint life, he persistently tries to curb me. You imagine what character is produced when a boy has been spending on a piano for a game from five years! Therefore, it is enough on a lot. I admire my husband in all aspects, and especially in part of his professional path. Having achieved to twenty-seven years of incredible heights as a pianist, having its own classic album recorded at the studio where the Bitles group once was written, a tight schedule of tour with the best orchestras in Carnegie Hall and on other legendary sites (naturally, with impressive fees ), He found the strength to leave it all and rushed into the movies. And he started a "clapper" on the shooting. Parents were shocked from such a demarche, but Sasha is obsessed, and he walked to a dream. I am glad that he has everything perfectly. By the way, I noticed that, becoming a cinema, he allows himself a greater manifestation of emotions, and sometimes I also have to calm him. But this is normal: Men must produce steam. So we balancing each other.
- Do you like your family son-in-law?
"My eighty-year-old grandmother Valentina Prokopyevna, a teacher of ethics and aesthetics, says that for her life, such ideal fathers did not meet. (Smiles.)
- Surely, thanks to their passion, Alexander also plunged you into classical music. This is true?
- Yes! I was completely dark in this regard. The husband included me Sergei Rakhmaninova, Frederick Chopin ... I remember me, I was already pregnant with our second child, Sasha met with Anej Drubich, and I sat, listened to their conversation and thought: really it will continue to continue, I will hean the whole company of musicians, To pretend that I understand everything, mistaken in stress in the word "Sonatina" ... It turned out, was worried in vain. I here, with whom I do not laugh, like with Drubich. (Smiles.) Educated, smart people tend to have an exceptional sense of humor. And now I am already for the mood I put classical music. For example, the "butterflies" of Shuman performed by Alexander Slobodynica ... So he still plays cool! And I am pleased that, having realized a dream, Sasha returned to the tool. With this summer, he played in St. Petersburg with Valery Gergiev, and we with his mom, with tears in my eyes, sat in the hall ... And, of course, before the concerts, the whole family for nine hours every day listens to the rehearsal on home piano. (Smiles.)
- Obviously, despite the happy marriage, you are not from those who "destroyed" all their girlfriends with age ...
- I have the opposite in this regard. Previously, I did not recognize female friendship. Yes, I had one girlfriend from a kindergarten in Aviagorkov Tolmachevo near Novosibirsk, and the other is from school. And that's it. And five years ago, I unexpectedly realized that I now have a first-class team of reliable friends: Anka Slah, Anka Drubich, Irka Gorbachev, Masha Andreeva, Larisa Baranova ... If that, I know, they will stand for me the wall - five bold. It's nice that even my America does not separate us. For half a year I do not see me, I arrive - and as if we just broke up yesterday.
