Maria Shalaeva is a vivid confirmation of the fact that tranquility is given from nature, and not in the higher educational institution. So without graduating from VGIK, this actress is actively removed, and almost for all his work receives prizes, and even specifically write scenarios. And recently, Maria went further and swung on the director. Grandfather, famous designer of ships Vladislav Alexandrovich Dugin, would be proud of her - after all, they had a special, mental connection. To some extent he was for Mary a male reference. This and many other actress told the "Atmosphere" magazine.
- Maria, what is the most memorable compliment you received as a director at the "Kinotavra" held this year for his short filler "Divorce"?
- In addition to comments, the authoritative people said for me that I clearly have my own movie and I need to continue. (Smiles.) Now they are often asked why I took up the director, but it seems to me that this is so natural for me development in cinema ... Many technical stuff has long known, and it helps. I have inner confidence that you have to move in this direction, and has already set myself a goal - to make a full meter in a maximum of two years. Now just a scenario of future history I write and already know who I will play. The only one, I compose pretty bardar, so there is a serious work on structuring the material. But my friend will help me, the screenwriter and director Larisa Bocharov, who took me in the first of my short film "Tomorrow Birthday." She then specifically wrote a major role for me.
- I note that others followed her annex ...
- Yes, but something for a long time no one writes nothing to me, and I myself took up this matter. (Smiles.)
- did the acting dependence with their freedom-loving character?
- Absolutely say exactly. With age, it becomes more and more difficult to take the fact that I have to sit and wait for me to be called in a particular project. It is much more productive to act myself.

- It is believed that the director is too energetically expensive enterprise, suitable mainly for men ...
- These are myths. Do not believe! This buzz is real! And I thought so before. I never understood that everyone pretends such a meaningful when it comes to the shooting process. Men in their cinema, by the way, they say, as a rule, about themselves. Women are suitable for the case more largely. For example, the last film Duni Smirnova about our country, about her mentality and philosophy. I recommend to see. Like the tape of Natasha Meschaninova.
- You removed about the separation of ironic, lyrical sketch, such a walk in Moscow ...
- Initially, she saw me more melancholic, but in the process of filming there was an easy irony that in the context of this story is not bad. Although in general in my mini-film, the problem of a man and a woman's relationship is ravaged, when loving people suddenly stop hearing each other and speak as if in different languages. In no case, I did not want to do it hard, accomplish someone. Just highlighted an hour from the life of a disintegrating pair, which has accumulated many questions, and they take a challenging decision on parting.
- Since you yourself have such an experience, I can't help but ask: what do you think, at what stage, marriage can still be saved, and when it is better to let go of a partner in free swimming?
- Better to let go in free swimming, being married. Another thing is not all obvious. It is clear that everyone holds to their union to the end. Sometimes because of fear even pull more than necessary. But, in my opinion, it is more important that it comes after. Parting is not always a loss of a person. It is possible to gain it anew, only in another quality. I am sure if all the nodes calmly unleash, realistic if not strong friendship, then a friendly partnership. This is especially important when there are children. To tear forever is acceptable only in extreme situations, if there is a threat to life, let's say.

- Are you a family man?
- I am quite freedom, but I have children - a thirteen-year-old Nestor and seven-year-old Evdokia, and they are my family to which I am incredibly tied. It seems to me that we have some kind of cool union.
- Of course, with such a cheerful mom!
- And I am not fun. It just turns out that everyone laughs when I set out something. The sense of humor is not a sign of a perky, optimistic in the lava.
- Children of Humanities?
- Yes. Although the Duni mathematics goes great. But she draws well - after all, grandpa with grandfather artists, and dancing ... Daughter is studying at the Onskova school, where in the classes join acrobatics and classic dance. Teachers are unusually carefully related to children, and they, accordingly, delighted. Duni Pope Musician (composer Ivan Lubennikov. - Approx. Aut.), But it categorically refused the music school. Apparently, I looked at me as I went for Nestor. For six years, he studied at a music school in the class of pipes and piano, but threw. I did not resist - more than "crusts" I was to preserve his love for music. He remained Meloman, and I am pleased. And the son is not indifferent to sports. True, rushing: I went to box, now plays football and became a real fan. Cinema, by the way, also looks woozy. We have a tradition - to get acquainted on Fridays with some good movie. True, I often violate it in virtue of employment. (Smiles.)
- Feeling, you have a cohesive team! You are on the air from Fedor Bondarchuk so funny told that when the budget is stupid, warn the household that everyone goes to buckwheat. Is it really happening so?
- Nowadays, in my opinion, everyone is experiencing difficult times. The lack of finance gives considerable concern. And I'm pretty much nervous when there is no money. Still, I'm a mother!

- But children have fathers.
- The family budget is still on me. And our dads are people of creative professions, with an unstable fee. They are also on the mel. But it's not all trouble. Honestly, I'm not ready for the sake of constant stable wealth to fit into something boring. I am more important for the drive of my hobbies. At the same time, I love to spend very much! I can go and buy yourself sandals for the last money. Of course, at first we upset a little, that I descended everything, but then I would be scary. (Smiles.) So I am a trans. So far, never learned the economy. We can walk down the street with the Duna and fuck all the contents of the wallet on something cute ... when it stands in front of the dilemma: save the funds or not, I begin to think: what if this opportunity does not have anything else - and I will regret ... So I live alone . How it is laid in domestic mentality. In Russia, it is difficult to plan something up to say. So I am a typical representative of Russian society.
- Intelligentsia, I would say. You are a radical Muscovite, and you have such a strong relatives ... One grandfather, Vladislav Alexandrovich Dugin, a famous designer of warships, which costs!
"In general, grandfather wanted to be a scientist, but he prevented war. He became a military engineer, built ships and one time commanded their acceptance in Poland. This person is the rod of our family, very powerful. Colonel, participant of war. Be sure to devote him one of the films. He recently did not, but even in the last days, in a lying state, grandfather continued to communicate with me with humor. He is my best friend from birth. Chadnoby, gentle. Since the biological father did not grow me, grandfather the role of a senior man took over. He developed me with his conversations. Never tired to reason with me, forced to think with his endless questions: "What do you think about this? What do you think? And what will be your opinion? ". Talked with me as with an adult.
- And for art, as I understand it, answered my grandmother.
"Yes, she drove me into theaters, and had no doubt that the child is obliged to end the music school. And despite the grandfather screams: "Enough", I learned to play the piano and at Domre. Moreover, he selected this rare tool itself when a musician saw on one of the concerts, who almost fell from the diligence of the game on the domain from the chair. It seemed to me very funny, and I decided that it was this tool that suits me. The bouncing image worked. (Smiles.) But I threw a music school as my son is exactly a year before the end. Alas, in contrast to the child, I did not learn to play the piano worthy. I still had a hard to connect two hands, but the Nestor does it easily, sometimes even picks up the music ...
- Looking at your instagram, where you often appear in something incredibly air, snow-white, you immediately remember your children's dream of ballet.
- I really got a ballet, being completely a bluer. But I do not forget about my desires, I carry out dreams, as the grandfather taught me, and as a result he was recorded on the classes from the machine in the studio next to the house. I'm still terribly tired there, but glad. The amazing thing, but all my dreams come true in one way or another.

- You are attached to this effort!
- Not always. With director - yes. One and a half years led himself to this, filmed mini-films for his instagram - stuck her hand. It is so exciting when the material has filmed due to the installation, complemented by music, turns into history! Excellent weekly exercise! I do not know why the future directors in the university do not give such tasks. And grandfather, by the way, approved this my step. He, in principle, was always on my side. Even when I was expelled for absenteeism from the second course of Vgika, I was pleased. He really did not like my master. As a result, I do not regret what happened, I am not going to the Institute again, although Vladimir Ivanovich Khotinenko and calls at least for a year. But I can not imagine how with such a huge amount of work and two children I will regularly attend lectures. My path is self-improvement on your own initiative and receiving skills in practice. I remember, the whole family was amazed when at twenty years I took from scratch to study French, I sat for hours, having posted textbooks, but now without any problems and even with visible pleasure I communicate. For example, it did in the same Cannes, where my forty-eight seconds were presented under the name "Repair of Moscow-Paris". (Smiles.) English is still worth tagging - he is my school. Well, Italian will have to learn: my mom and sister live in Italy. And Mom quickly learned Italian fifty years. So when there is a motivation - there is no difficulty. I am quite meticulous in the preparation for the role, especially if it comes to professional skills. Even on a motorcycle learned to ride, although I'm afraid of races. When I was preparing for shooting on Dostoevsky, I reread all criticism to thoroughly feel the circumstances of my character's life. Last year, Elena Khazanova, I specifically got up for a bar rack in one friendly restaurant and learned how to make cocktails. Similar skills are needed by artist as ambulance.
- What other premieres are you?
- Full-length picture "Fairy" Anna Melikyan. I have a small role. Film Elena Khazanova "Mistress", where I just play bartender! A few more TV shows should go out. But I still always miss the movie. I'm not enough of him. Therefore, I am pleased to go to the samples.
- You actress without a pronounced role, right?
- Anyway, they drive me in etching, engineering. But I try to catch through this stereotype. For example, today I want to play Minister of Culture Furtsev. We have a striking external similarity with it. Such a project is asked, and I hope to get into it. True, there Furtseva is already aged, and I am afraid that they are pushed to make me makeup me. (Smiles.)

- In one of the interviews, you with admiration responded about the book of Julia Cameron "The Path of the Artist", where she advises every morning to write three pages of the text, in a row, what you think and what you are watching. You do it?
- Passed this stage. A year, like many of my colleagues, recorded the stream of consciousness, and later, something worthwhile in it, I found accurate wording. In fact, the advice is a good helping to constructively approach creativity. Like the recommendation sometimes for zeroing to be lazy to be lazy, naturally beat the bumps and not scold yourself for it.
- It is clear that you can not get off the repertoire theater, but on the stage you still play ...
- in the play "Two ladies toward the north" in the center of them. Meyerhold with an excellent actress "near the House of Stanislavsky" Olga Beshuli. She is the director of our production. This project is joy, and to go daily at the rehearsal to the theater, I would definitely could not. It would be necessary to reckon with the team - such an additional, forced family. I can not imagine that someone should ask for shooting. In the field of my responsibility only close. Therefore, just like the cinema system, when a certain team is collected, some time is working together, and then part. And if the joint work gives rise to friendship, then she definitely does not need everyday communication.
- And you have a lot of friends?
- real - little. And friends, acquaintances, colleagues who come to visit is enough. Actually, since childhood I am surrounded by some company. Then it was mostly boys. I liked to spend time in their society, but I was somehow myself. I created a lot of problems to educators in children's camps, because I did not consider it necessary to report on your movements. Mom was worried that I was too independent, but I did not rejoice me in any way, fortunately.
- Do you appreciate loneliness?
- I'm calm towards him. This is the natural state of a person. It is not tragic at all, and he should not be afraid. It seems to me that a thinking person must love to be one at least from time to time. Personally, I am remarkably recovering, when one, so I love solitary journey. Not to mention the distant warriors, where someone immediately wants to eat, someone in the toilet, someone is tired, and you try to adjust the group and feel wild discomfort. It is easier for me to put children in the car and go somewhere spontaneously with them, without adjusting to any whose schedule. Or collect a suitcase and one fly to Thailand, and there to wander around the monasteries ... In this regard, I also avoid excursions. Interest in what they say, losing already on the fifth second and I am going to study the surroundings. I and children are the same. Dunya himself pulled me in the museums, but when it became a school duty, began to resist. And with Nestor, I successfully implement the program of ten minutes. That is, agreed with a guy that we definitely visit museums and art galleries, but spend no more than ten minutes there. Thus, the son does not have time to get bored with great art, and he is already well understood in artists, apparently, thanks to the point method. Since it is not indifferent to personalities odious, he likes the work of Caravaggio.

- And you are a gifted teacher and a children's psychologist!
- Rather, these are children of my teachers. They demonstrated me the key to communication. I used to be fighting and frustrated that they were not interested in anything, and when they opened the truth to me that it was good, everything went to the way. The current children, if they do not break them, are functionally used. If they ask them why they do not teach the rules as we, in the old manner, they will answer that all information can be found on the Internet and meaninglessly spending time in vain. And I try to watch their eyes on a lot.
- You admitted that, becoming a mother, began to treat much more carefully. What did you mean?
- Previously, I could climb three-meter waves. Now I'm not risky.
- Your biography is rich not only by take-offs, but also dramatic events. In the Carmadon Gorge, the operator Daniel Gurevich died together with the group of Sergei Bodrov - Your groom ...
- In fact, happiness is adjacent to the tragedy in the life of each person. Just media people in sight, and they know more about them. Objectively, perhaps for my age I really happened too much. Life is tightly saturated with events. But, in fact, relying on this experience, I will continue to move.
- Personal life Celibriti is really in sight. In one popular magazine, they wrote that you are with a gigineishvili rubbish, who have been filmed in the hostages, now you are a pair. What was it?
- We ourselves did not understand. Rubber - my adorable friend and director! It was ridiculous, of course, since the information was distributed two days before the "kinotaur", where the sharp seemed to the cameras with a luxurious brunette with the hope of Oboltseva! I hope the authors are now blushing, and let them be ashamed! (Laughs.)

- Are you in love?
- Not. I like it difficult. I threw it over myself to the bar, which can not cope with anyone. But I will not go to compromises. Especially since I am somehow especially in love with this damned cinema, which gives me literally the whole range of emotions and sensations.
- You are just as a man say!
- Just the opposite. Most men feel quite uncomfortable alone. They just need a pair. And women are not so dependent. I do not exclude for myself the possibility of love, of course, but my critical is not going anywhere. As well as the habit of its own space. I like to meet, and not to imagine each other, living side by side. Guest marriage, it seems to me, in my case, when in the house-fortress two children, ideal.
