Fans know Alexander for Major Oleg Solovets in the legendary series
"Streets of broken lanterns." But if the on-screen life of the actor is represented in the details, then the routine has always been hidden. It was possible to open the curtain of the mystery during the conversation with Alexander in the Black Sea Resort, where he rested along with a young wife and two babies.
"Alexander, you dedicated the TV series" Streets of broken lanterns "23 years of acting career and are now filming in the new season ...
- And, apparently, it will be the final season ... Of course, lately, when we had downtime in the filming, other suggestions were received, but I could not participate in them, because the children were still small and my wife would be very heavy.
- Did you feel how your deductive abilities developed during the shooting?
"When there were some samples, no one knew that there was a" knife "," in the refusal "," dehler ". We uttered it, but did not quite understand the meaning of these words. Then, since they were filmed even in the real police departments, we came to the operations and asked: what and how to do, how to? In the interrogations were, looked from the part. Naturally, this is a movie, and not a reality show. I am Sasha Polovtsy, and not Major Solovets. Although at first I remember, I was sitting in a cafe and noticed: I put someone's bag ... Ta-a-AK ... suspicious. And what is this man in his pockets all the time keeps?
Alexander and his spouse Esan together for ten years

- You are often perceived as your hero, and not actor Alexander Polovtshev?
- It still happens. I remember when the first esters passed, on the street with me everyone began to greet. Probably the name of the character did not go on the ear, but the following happened that the following happened: "Hello. And who is this (among themselves)? " "I don't know, but a familiar face." And then, naturally, many have not even remembered the name, but communicated by the name of the character. If possible, I never refuse to give an autograph or take a picture. But sometimes the simplicity of existence in the TV series causes some simplicity of communication: since I am so simple in the frame, it means, apparently, in life. And it happens, someone is suitable and says standing near a friend: "Kolya, Kohl, come here, here this one! Let's take a picture! " Sometimes you have to carefully refuse, but they are offended, they say, I lookedched out something like that. At the same time, I will never believe the artist who says: "Oh, I'm so tired of being photographed! These autographs ... "Yes, maybe, after three or four, they will force - use the moment.
- One of the memorable projects with your participation was the series "Eighties", where you play the dad of the main character. What do you remember most while working on the site?
"I remember, filmed in the summer in the pavilion: on Masha Aronova was a coat with a fur collar, a sweater, a sweater, a sweater, did not work in the pavilion, the street was under thirty degrees of heat. There were funny situations in the series "Streets of broken lamps." I took two photos of naked girls to shoot, not quite beautiful, and spoke to a person who was interrogated in the frame: "So, will you recognize these people?" Of course, he broke up. Or, I remember when they just started shooting, guys from some police department said: "Well, how are you there, in the 35th? Come to us - we have to give gasoline coupons. " We answered that we were artists. They did not believe.

- It is known that in the actor's environment, it is not so easy to find my soul mate, but you managed. Tell me how it happened.
- It was in a cafe. I heard the edge of the ear, then I saw my eyes, and, in fact, everything happened. She did not recognize me. The next day, a concert of Ol Zatorsgueva in the Ice Palace was held. We were then with him in good relationships. And I told her: "Do not want to go?" She replied that she would be interesting. And I suggested: "Let's meet tomorrow." Well, and so everything is spinning. And now every fourth number of each month I give her big bouquets of flowers. And the fourth of June this year we had ten years from the moment of dating. True, they did not notice: I was in the village of Mom, she is in Novorossiysk.
"The spouse did not know that you were you." And it still does not bother your acting profession?
- Probably, understanding the gravity of the upcoming, she would refuse me. Nevertheless, she remained, despite the profession and the difference in age.
- I understand that by the profession of Esana is not an actress?
- No, not an actress. She graduated from the school of the police and worked for a while in the encommittee. Also graduated from a medical college, was a nurse. But I, when I got acquainted, did not know who she worked. We were together seven years old, and then we decided on such a step - the appearance of children. I was afraid of this responsibility, because I understood - I was already decently decently, and I can not bring the children to this age, to which my mother and dad brought me. But how much God gives, so much will give.
- The very fact that for the sake of children you donate work, gives you a good father in you ...
- I find it difficult to talk about myself. The wife claims that I am a loving, good father. But if the Lord gave me a gorgeous opportunity and presented the children, it should be. When we lived in a communal apartment on Vasilyevsky Island, Dad began to go swimming, in a foreign exchange, my mother was at the factory every day. I saw how hard it was. And I was not in a burden and the school shape to stroke, and get out, and wash the dishes. So they were brought up. I have everything out of town. I, maybe not a fan of order, but I try.
- So you yourself can be perfectly engaged in household matters and without helpers?
- No one helps. We need to pay tribute to the current one: when Andrei was born, she lived for several months and helped. My mom is 88 years old. She wants to help, but she is already hard. We have no housekeeper, we ourselves cope: someone in kindergarten sends someone to the clinic, someone can wash the floors. There is no free time. Now at the top, in the room, two small creatures are sleeping, and I need to make a plan whom to take away.
"It was time I abused, but now priorities have changed. It is more important to give something to small children"
Boris Kremer
- Something changed in your worldview after the birth of children?
- Sure! Appeared butterflies in the stomach. When these two adorable creatures in front of you, I want to tell them as much as possible, show. And the wife is charming, young. I do not explain in words what is changing. Here you wake up, the son says to you: "Dad, already the morning, get up!" - Although only half of the seventh. But you are happy. Andrei in January will be three years old, Yane in October - one and a half.
- Your eldest son is already completely adult. What does he do?
- In childhood he did not like publicity. We somehow went with him to Finland, he was still small. They walked down the street, Mom went to her daughter, who said: "Oh, look: this is a boy from the juice advertising!" And all, it finally finally finished him. Now he has already grown ... when I started knocking on the drums, I thought it was not serious, but in the end my own group. Playing the guitar, recorded two albums. He is a creative person, involved in the removal process, but on the side of the camera. Although, perhaps, once will say: why don't I try to enter the frame?
- Formally you are already a pensioner, but at the same time an incredibly energetic person. What is the secret of your youth?
- I have no secret. I remember, a new fitness club was opened around the house - I decided that I would go. She looked like two and a half weeks, and then shooting, tongue on the shoulder ... and that's it. But if every day vacuuming or wipe the dust with a rag, it will also be use. As I said, my mom is 88 years old. And so she asked me the greenhouses, although he understands that she, of course, is already hard. When I come - she has already done everything: the earth in the glooms of the reckon, the potato is rolling, poured tomatoes and so on. Maybe when I was drunk in the village in childhood, I got some health.
- How are you doing with bad habits now?
- We traveled with creative meetings seventy cities, and everywhere we were very hospitable! I missed some moments, but now priorities have changed: I am more important to keep health and give something to your little children. Two years ago, my dad left my life, and I broke ... But the wife said: "Sanya, it's time to stop. Come on for three years you will not drink. " I said: "Yes, for God's sake." Smoking could not leave, tried several times, but in no way.
"Streets of broken lamps" became the longest TV series on Russian TV. Alexander Polovtsy (left), like other actors, dedicated to the project 23 years of career
- As you know, with a healthy lifestyle, people have more time. I heard you have success in learning foreign languages ...
- with foreign languages I have a long relationship. He studied at school, then - in the technical school, even the technical texts translated, taught the language at the institute. But then he is forgotten if there is no practice. Somehow was abroad and forgot what Ice Cream is. I swear! I remembered only when the refrigerator was opened with this very ice cream. Although in due time I had a rather big vocabulary. And then it turned out that with the theater, where I worked, we went to tour to Germany. And the inviting party insisted on the game in German. In the repertoire, we had a pop show that did not require translation, but besides this, the Christmas fairy tale, where I played Babu Yagu, a fairy tale about the Koshii immortal, the chest fairy tale "Fedot, and not that." We rehearsed in Russian, then the translator striculate the text in German, we wrote a translation over each Russian word and just memorable. As a result, some of these words came in handy later in European trips.
- Your whole life takes place in St. Petersburg. Did you ever have the thoughts to move to Moscow?
- No, for me Moscow is a very vigor city. And, probably, it's late for me to move. We somehow came to the capital to the festival with Sergey Celine. Went outside to walk. And three minutes later I realized that we were going, like everything, quick step. Sergey asked me: "We rush somewhere?" And we went out just calmly walk, drink beer, see the city ... In Moscow, most people are engaged in themselves, earn money. I once got lost, asked how to go through, I was answered: "I don't know, the visiting, hurry himself." Try you to get lost: five people will come to you and will tell how to get there.
