Tatyana Polyakova works: for two months it closes from around the world, it does not communicate with anyone, it does not go anywhere and almost even rises from the table. But during this time she has time to give a new book on-mountain. And immediately after that, its organism is vital to movement. Therefore, she goes travel.
Tatyana Polyakova: "In two weeks you return with completely washed brains. Mass of new impressions, dating. But on the beach I do not lie, because of my age, it's not a lot to the sun. I love to run something to see something. In one of these "inter-engine" trips - she fell on Easter - my friend gave me an egg. And it was beautiful that, returning home, I put it on a prominent place - on my desk. But then thought that in the locker the gift would be more preservation. There are my books there. I emphasize - only mine. Because there was a wonderful story when my third detective novel came out. I put it in the bookcase on the principle of the cover for the cover. Dark to dark, light to light. I went to the kitchen, and for me my son who says: "Mom, you need to be more modest, you have identified a place next to Chekhov!" Since then, I have a separate locker to and offend yourself, and not touch yourself. So it was in this "my" cabinet this is an egg and it turned out. But it was someone alone. I was sorry for me. "
So the second exhibit of the collection appeared?
Tatyana: "Completely right. I went to the store and saw an egg made under Faberge's Christmas eggs - they were manufactured for the imperial family. Only it was without jewelry. I liked it, and I bought it. Then the husband gave an amazing silver egg: open it, and inside the Icon of the Virgin. Actually, from this, my epic began with a collecting. Now friends know what to give me. I remember somehow on my birthday almost everyone came with the egg. Even the guests themselves laughed on it. "

The first eggs in your collection, as I understand it, were quite inexpensive?
Tatyana: "I don't know about first, because it was a gift. And I bought the rubles for two hundred. I did not have the goal to acquire something valuable. But many of these things are very notable. For example, here are real goose eggs embroidered beads. They cost a hundred or two hundred dollars. This gift, I myself would never bought them. Personally, I like wooden eggs, funny, made by handicraft and painted. Sometimes people do this without having art education. Thinking, probably: what's the difficult thing here - the egg coloring! So it turns out sometimes terribly funny. But at the same time touching. Unfortunately, these eggs are broken by my homes. There was no idea to create a real collection to put it in one place, for the glass. I somehow somehow asked: "How many of them do you have?" Replied that I did not think. And if you collect, then probably a lot. "
That is, you are not going to do the exhibition?
Tatiana: "I do not have such exhibits that would cost. All this can be found in stores. It's just my attitude: I saw, held in my hand, I liked it, bought. "

You also collect angels?
Tatiana: "And all that is connected with them: candlesticks, dishes with the image of angels. But all the trips to Vologda began. I went into one store, and there are wooden angels, handmade. My attention attracted one figure. It was a very sad character. In general, he looked humble, not so painted. Not from this company. (Laughs.) I realized that I just can't leave him in the store. I still do not know why such a feeling arose. This angel is now on the bedside table. My keeper. We somehow got friends with him. " (Laughs.)
How did the rest appear?
Tatyana: "The stunning angel brought a Snow from Denmark. He is so ridiculous! Some triangles, but through this chaos looks like something touching. I also loved him. Although many who come to my house do not even understand what it is. And, of course, many fans give eggs, and angels. We have grateful people. Someone from journalists wrote about my collection, and now every meeting with readers ends with the presentation to me gifts. "
For you, they carry some semantic load?
Tatyana: "Angels are a charm!"

And eggs?
Tatyana: "I think the Easter painted eggs is a symbol of a new life! But by and large, I do not bother, honestly. Just like the shape, material. The tree is nice to the touch. If glass or stone is also beautiful. No artist will figure out how nature does it.
In your books, these hobbies manifested?
Tatiana: "I try to distance yourself from my characters. There was a negative experience - my serial heroine. I wanted to part with her, but she snapped to me. And I also had a negligence to put it with some of my habits. For example, the manner of talking. In Russian, it is called Hochmat, breed. She, like me, also does not love morning. The very bad time of the day. (Laughs.) I wake up for a long time, I pace. And I like to work late in the evening or at night - after all, decent people do not call after twelve, and you are not distracted for anything! So, from my point of view, the similarities between us were insignificant, but it happened so that everything was noticed. When the third book came out, close people began to say: "Ryazantseva is you!" It was a shame, because it was only about some similarity in habit, but not in character. After that, I realized that my heroes should be as small as possible on me. They can collect anything, right up to the vodka of Soviet times, but not the fact that I myself am collecting. Such here I have the principle! "
