Actress Maria Anikanova could become a famous figure skater, but a meeting with director Sergei Solovyov changed everything. She felt that exactly now she was engaged in his business. But figure skating twice came to her personal life with the future Olympic champions, the first husband - Evgeny Platov - and Ilya Kulik, with whom civil marriage tied. And they also divorced figure skating ... In the second marriage, with actor Andrei Sipin, a long-awaited daughter was born. About why this relationship did not have this relationship, in which Maria praises himself, as well as about growing and dreams - in an interview with the atmosphere magazine.
"Mary, you easily transition from sports at all to another world?"
- Not easy. Like it is ridiculous, the main difficulty was that, it seemed to me, no one works in the movie, nothing does anything. I'm used to plowing from six in the morning and to twelve night, because every day I had two or three workouts, general physical training, choreography, and I also went to the rink through the whole of Moscow. When I started working at Sergey Alexandrovich Solovyov in the "House under the Star Sky", then the shift lasted eight hours, and one scene could shoot a week, and a week - to sit and wait for the weather, and in general I was shocked that in the movies you all the time Wear something. I was asked: "Are you not tired?" "And I thought:" They probably mock me. " But all the actors seemed to me terribly tired. Then I did not understand why. Now, with a new schedule of work in the cinema, everything is different: and the change lasts twelve hours, and now, being in the profession, I already know what you can get tired of.
- Sports hardening you now came in handy ...
- Sure. Now sometimes you have to work for days without closing your eyes. I saw people sleep with open eyes, as a director, sometimes the monitor also falls asleep from fatigue, and only the actor should be the most alive man on the site. Once, in the second season Nyhatcha, we shot with Kirill Kyaro eighteen or twenty hours, and somewhere in the morning I caught myself on what I see him very well, and he was me. And we had only one task: not falling face in a plate. Then I looked at the scene and was surprised: "And nothing! And even the gaze is conscious. " (Smiles.) But when you are passionate about, all the forces are accumulated, and you do not notice time.

- Masha, you seem to be on skates in two years. In such a small age, and maybe a little older, did you have already blocked the character or did it eat up?
- I confess, I'm not an athlete in its essence. Therefore, I can not say that I have a sporty character. I do not like to compete - it's better to go away, but I will not prove that the first and best, although I am very pleased when I was praised. In me at some point they tried to raise such a line like a sporting anger, but it was not possible. I just threw curly skating.
- So it was connected not so much with the departure of Peter Chernyshev, with whom you rode in a pair? ..
"It was still to Chernyshev, and I threw it precisely because I wanted to remake me, and this could not be done.
- What did mom say when you first threw ride?
- Mom was horrified. The worst thing for it was that I had nothing to do, and I would be with the key on the neck to hang around the yard. Because at school, I, in fact, did not study, spent time on the rink. I was nowhere to do, I understood that I don't know anything, I can only go to the physical consumer institute. (Laughs.) Mom I bought books on the anatomy and not only to be preparing, but after six months I wanted to return to figure skating, because I was used to plow. And then Petya already appeared, we stood in a couple with him. But half a year a break is a huge period in professional sports, I was difficult to recover, and Petya needed to still move for dances. And so, three days before the start of our first competitions, he decided that he would leave to live in America. And I have already finished with sports.
- Have you worried a lot?
- Naturally, I sobbed, because for the year so much work was invested, just inhuman forces! And at least we had not the most simple human relationship, but I understood that I worked on the result, and about now we had to show the fruits of our work, and suddenly ... since, and everything collapsed.

- And you did not look for a new partner?
"No, I was looking for, but I did not have time to find." It remained to ride, but at that moment I was called with Mosfilm. And Mom said: "Go, while you are free. When will you still visit the "Mosfilm"? .. "And I went to the film studio just like a tour, knowing that I would not have any such opportunity. And now, soon thirty years, as I go there. (Laughs.)
- Starting to learn, have you never regretted what you left of the sport?
- Never! I had a gust, because the body required physical exertion, but I was enough literally fifteen minutes. Mom gave me on figure skating, and, apparently, it was originally not mine. I remember how once we met with Marina Anisina, which was not yet an Olympic champion, and she will ask me: "You do not regret? .." And I replied that no second: I do my own business in which I would suffer , wait and work as much as necessary. She could not understand how this is: I am a daughter of the coach, I have all my relatives there, and suddenly ... She said: "I would love to be with pleasure too, but I will not exchange figure skating for anything." Nothing, everyone should do His business, so I never gotten the idea to quit an acting profession, although it is very dependent.
- Sergey Solovyov after the filming immediately took you to himself in Vgik. But then you decided to go to the theater school. Shchukina. Did you feel some inconvenience in front of him?
- Yes, he believed that this is the wrong step in a professional sense. And very upset. Was amazed. Imagine, he took me and take off, and learn without exams, and in a year I suddenly tell him that I was leaving. Of course, I felt awkwardness, but I still grate to Sergey Alexandrovich: he never showed me that he was offended or offended. Moreover, he continued to call me into his paintings and performances when he was interested in the theater.
- And then the joint work happened - Kitty in Anna Karenina ...
- Kitty I asked myself. For the first time Sergey Alexandrovich was preparing to take pictures when I was still in Schukinsky School. These samples still stored at me at home. And after fifteen years later he heard from one artist: "Imagine, I tried yesterday to Levin." I asked: "And who removes" Karenina "?" "And, having learned that Solovyov, he himself called him and for a long time he insisted that I was still sixteen years old, although I was much older." He still risked, called for samples. As a result, I was approved.

- By the way, how did you relate to yourself in the greatness: considered attractive, beautiful? ..
"So far Solovyov said me that I was attractive and even beautiful, what, I confess, I was very surprised, never thought about it. And the words of such someone did not hear from anyone.
- And from mom?!
- Well, she, of course, spoke. But in the depths of the soul, I understood that Mom is a mother, she loves me, so I am the most beautiful for her. At all, I did not perceive her words for a clean coin. I fell in love, but I did not understand why. I guess I was not ready for this and all my fans with the dates led home. They communicated with her mother, and I watched the TV, was engaged in my affairs and once again thought: "My God, when he already goes away?!" Even grandmother - Soviet hardening - wondered. And my mother stated: "If you can not go on a date now, I will renounce my maternal rights!" (Laughs.)
- That is, mom was not rejoiced, what are you a rough girl?
"So I've been to me for eighteen, and I sat all at home." Even in movies did not go with the boys. And then I met the wife of Platov ...
- You got married at nineteen years. And how do you, so young, was married?
- No. I studied at Schukinsky School, so I was not to marriage. After all, after figure skating I got into a completely different atmosphere and I learned so much every day that I could not know for all the time in figure skating. Zhenya was at the charges all the time, lived in his world, and I am in my, so, in fact, after some time we divorced.
- He called you with me to America?
- called, but I did not go, because I did not know how to implement yourself.
- And if I did not leave, would still come to the divorce?
- Yes. Maybe a little later. We got married when I entered the Schukinsky school, and parted when I came to the "contemporary". It was not for us drama, we laughed when we were divorced, because the decision was mutual, without offense. We stayed in good relationships.
With the "Cherry Garden" from the actress "Long Roman": at first she performed the role of Ani, and now I will play

- You're in childhood and youth knew Galina Borisovna Volchek as the nearest girlfriend Tatiana Anatolyevna Tarasova ...
- Sure. And mom, naturally, communicated with the wolf. Very often we turned out in the same places. "Contemporary" rode to Tomsk with tourists, we are the same - for fees, and in North-Donetsk and Odessa - in these three cities often crossed. Tours were in a month, fees - too, and we all lived like one family. For some reason, the wolf called me "Girl Antonioni". But when I went to the theater, then strictly-setting banned everything to give me any protection. However, Galina Borisovna did not even know me, and I have different surnames with my mother. And only when I was taken, Tatiana Anatolyevna called her and said that I was the most "Antoniony girl."
- How did it happen that you and the second time tied fate with a skater?
- I do not know. When Oleg Ivanovich Yankovsky asked me: "You are them that, in the trolleybuses all you find?!" - I did not know what to answer. Probably just surroundings remained the same. After all, Ilya and I became visiting Tatiana Anatolyevna Tarasova.
- And in the theater and crucible circle, no one interest you?
- Hobbies were probably, we are emotional people. I fell in love with talent, and now, with age, I understand that not only the charm should take a man and not necessarily talent, but by human qualities. At forty-five for me it is much more important. It's happiness when it creates that people all their lives together, and both harmoniously develop, like, for example, Tatyana Anatolyevna Tarasova and her husband, Pianist Vladimir Vsevolodovich Kravnev. They were always interested in each other.
- It seemed that with Ilya Kulik, you all harmoniously, you were happy ...
- Of course, were. And we lived two very saturated, interesting years. I took part in some of his creative ideas and helped him to morally prepare for the Olympics. Once I even had a dream, as we get a million dollars. Of which I for some reason concluded that it will become the Olympic champion. I told him, he was very laughing, but the Olympic champion became still. (Laughs.) I and Ilya tried to go to America: I thought, once fate pushes me there a second time - perhaps I have something. I looked and realized that it was not satisfied with me: we made the numbers together for his speeches, but it was Ilyushin history. And I did not have enough work in the frame, the smell of the Kulis and my own realization ... I could not explain it to him. Therefore, we also parted.
- And he tried to persuade you to stay in America? Worried parting?
"It was a joint decision, as it became clear that I would be better in Moscow, and he was to ride the world. After returning, I was again taken to the "contemporary", all the old roles returned to me. Then new began to appear. For that I still do not get tired thanks to Galina Borisovna.

- You play a lot in the theater, but often not in the premieres, but enter into old performances. And this is not a very grateful thing ...
- I disagree with it. Depending on what goals are to pursue. I love and enter, if an interesting role. When Agache was eight months, unexpectedly left Lena Yakovleva's theater, and the day after tomorrow - "Cherry Garden." And here are ten evenings, Serezha Garmash calls me and asks: "Anicanova, can you play the day after tomorrow? You are in the play (before that I played Anya), let's take up tomorrow? .. "And I just let go of a nanny for a week. He asked me to solve this problem, said: "I have to call the folk artists to the twelve at night, so that they come to the rehearsal tomorrow." I agreed, in an hour I found another nanny and went to rehearse in the morning.
- Mom lived then in France?
- No, but she worked, could not sit with Agasha. Watch eight or ten went a rehearsal, artists changed, scenes, I was completely cracked, and the next day I went and played. I think I was very lucky: I already felt that I grew out of the role of Ani, and Varya came to me very on time. Of course, I want me to have something new, interesting, ambiguous in the theater. Sometimes it is possible to the cinema. Not so long ago, a mini-series "Impossible woman" was held on the television, a great film, for me just a gift. The director Olga and Vladimir Basov were called, sent the script, I read it overnight, because it was a wonderful story, with excellent dialogues and a thin humor, and my role is so many-sided that I immediately understood: it will be where to turn around. And on the site we had very hotly, even there were quarrels with defending our positions, but this is just because everyone wanted to get a good job. And, in my opinion, it turned out well.
- Are you nice when you praise?
- Of course, nice. I confess, I am not very confident man, always doubt. I even had such a story with approval on the role in Nyukhech. I gave birth to Agasha and had to be filmed in the film "List of Expectations" - there were films for four months. And since the child is small, and I also played in the theater, I thought that I would not take any more projects. And suddenly the agent calls me and says: "The director came from Kiev and wants to meet with you." I read the script and saw my heroine Julya - a drug addict, a psychopath, and I'm a young mother, I feed the child, all such a peaceful, happy, and I do not even understand what it was about. I realized that it could not be played. But I went to the meeting. I come, get acquainted with the director Artem Litvinenko. Hello, he asks how the script, I say, I really liked, but this role is not mine, I do not understand how to play it. But I see that Artem does not hear me and insists on samples. Offers the stage where you need to laugh. And I tell him: "Artem, actually I am not very charming laugh in the frame." In response: "Well, let's take the scene where you need to cry." I answer: "To be honest, I don't know how to cry." Then he offers: "Do what you know." And then I probably surprised him: I said that I am a mediocre actress, take my niche, and today it is quite suitable for me. On that and parted. Two months passed, and the agent calls me on the shooting "Nyhatcha". I was in bewilderment: "What, now for this claim? .." The agent asked why "for that," and I told about our meeting with the director. And then she "reassured me": "I understood why Artem invited you. He saw that you were really crazy psychopath, once I went through the whole Moscow and the hour convinced him that you were a bad actress. Probably decided that you are ideal for this role. " And now I enjoy these filming ...
- Now you still feel "mediocre actress"?
- No, of course, I want to play a lot and good. And some vertices, it seems to me, I can still conquer. This profession is geniant in that all the time you can learn and develop.
- How do you feel about the material side of life, do you know yourself to limit yourself?
- It's not always the same.
The actress is not afraid of age roles

- And you have a childhood and youth in this sense - we are secured?
"We lived well since I myself began to earn money from the fifth class one hundred twenty rubles, because I was in the national team." Does joke? Mad money then! And then, already in a perestroika time, for the film Solovyov received five thousand rubles. I feel my money differently than others. When we lived with Ilya, he did not refuse me, did gifts, but I still felt that it was not me earned money. Of course, the profession is addicted: that is, shooting, then no. And it really affects the financial situation. Sometimes it happens that for half a year there are no projects. I remember, one day I didn't even buy toothpaste. But I try not to succumb to depression, because other times happens when six projects are simultaneously. And here I allow myself ...
- You have finally had a second husband. Have you bought a talent again?
- No, here I have not paid attention to this at all - God forbid, I thought it was too talented. But the average abilities like me, - gorgeous. (Laughs.) The main thing is that the person is good. And he was awesome. We lived for eight years - and now we can talk remarkable, friends, help each other. Andrey is a stunning father.
- But it seems you had some interests, a daughter was born, which you both wanted ... Why did you break up?
- Andryusha accepted such a decision. Why - I do not know, probably sobbed. And I agree with him that it is impossible to preserve the family for children. We began to quarrel, ceased to understand each other, and he was well done that he took such responsibility and left. And now Agasha is perfectly communicating with the dad, loves him. And when asks why Dad does not live with us, I answer her truth: "Because we realized that we have such love to live together, no longer, but you see how we wonderfully communicate and friends."
- And when did the first rates of problems appear?
- When Aglaya was born, we both emotionally switched to her and, probably, lost each other. This is us and looked. I was thirty-eight, this is not the age when you can not sleep for days, but I had to make money yet. In addition, the house was constantly someone else's man - nanny, without her anywhere, and this also did not add joy. It was hard for us, and we did not cope with it - failed to keep the balance in the family.
- Six years have passed. Now you are not ready to create a family with someone?
- No, I do not want to. Maybe then I will think otherwise. Although I will tell you the secret: I continue to fall in love every five minutes - both in talent, and in charm, and just good people. In my opinion, beautiful! (Laughs.)
