Actress Volkova about divorce and resuscitation of her little daughter. Actress Ekaterina Volkova and her husband told how a joint show on STS will strengthen their marriage. Elena Volkova's husband

In 2013, Ekaterina Volkova’s husband, dancer and architect Andrei Karpov took part in the show “Dancing with the Stars.” His partner was famous actress, star of the TV series “Kitchen” Elena Podkaminskaya. According to Catherine, this time was difficult for her - she was terribly jealous of her husband, suspecting him of being infatuated with the miniature artist.

ON THIS TOPIC

“My husband just said: “Lena and I, Lena and I...” He was simply fixated on winning. Even in Paris, the city of our love, where Karpov once proposed to me, he, forgetting about me, flew to Lena at a rehearsal. My husband celebrated his birthday with her there. And he didn’t even talk to me properly on the phone. I was jealous. Then I saw a million photos of Lena on his tablet..." Volkova complained.

The actress, who saw Andrei and Elena flirting, was so worried that she began to feel as if she was losing her husband. “One day I told him: “Let’s get a divorce!” My husband calmly replied: “Go ahead.” And he left to rehearse with Lena. And I... In despair, I almost did something terrible,” Ekaterina Volkova is quoted as saying by “7 Days.”

Suffering pushed the actress to take a radical step, which her daughter Lisa did not allow her to take. “It was so painful that I began to think about taking a pack of pills and ending everything once and for all. Some kind of eclipse came over me. Scary night. And in the morning, such a warm and gentle Gusena came up to me and hugged me. She was then only two and a half years old. And I thought: “This is the meaning of my life. What nonsense - all these bad thoughts of mine!” – said the artist.

As a result, Catherine reconsidered her views on the situation. “Andrey is trying, he wants to win, he and Lena are a team. And Gusena and I began to come to competitions and root for him. And we were probably more happy than anyone when he and Lena won. But still, I was even more happy when the project is over. Liberation has arrived! Fortunately, everything is in the past. On this moment Lena and I, when we meet at events, say hello and communicate, but she and Andrey do not. They went in different directions,” Volkova stated.

After a while, a misfortune happened in the actress’s life. The daughter was admitted to intensive care. She was diagnosed with peritonitis. “It turned out that children now have a common mutation - the appendix is ​​bent incorrectly, towards the back. Lisa was operated on, then there was intensive care. At first Gusena slept all the time, this is called medicated sleep. Then, when she slightly came to her senses, I began to take her for a walk around intensive care unit, because even through the pain we had to walk with our legs and not lie still,” said Ekaterina. Fortunately, the girl was soon transferred to a regular ward, and then discharged altogether.

A beautiful girl Katya was born in Tomsk into the family of a doctor and an engineer. A few years after the birth of their daughter, the parents moved to Togliatti, where the future star spent her childhood and received her education.

When asked what the little girl wanted to become, she answered “Alla Pugacheva!”, and when she heard that her idol would now perform in a television concert, she ran to the screen shouting “Be silent!!” and kissed the moving picture. She learned her first lessons in dramatic art by copying the Prima Donna, but it cannot be said that she seriously dreamed of becoming an actress.

As a teenager, the girl became interested in music. She studied piano at an art school, and after school she entered a music school to study choral conducting.

However, in the mid-90s, Katya became interested in theater and entered the studio at the Yaroslavl Wheel Theater. For a whole year I treated this type of art as a hobby, and then suddenly I realized that I could very well try to connect my destiny with this profession, and I entered the Yaroslavl Theater.

Margarita

While studying there, she dreamed of playing Margarita in a production based on the famous Bulgakov novel - this is exactly what a random passer-by predicted to her. And so it happened. While studying in her third year, Katya, unexpectedly for herself, transferred to the capital's GITIS, and there her classmate was directing Bulgakov!

The roles were assigned, so the girl just sat quietly in the corner and knitted a hat for the Master. She knew the entire role of Margarita by heart. She raved about the performance so much that her classmates thought that Katya was displaying a form of insanity, but the director eventually approved her for the role. Later Margarita at the Moscow Theater. Ekaterina played Stanislavsky for ten years.

She also left for Moscow because her marriage began to fall apart. It is known that Catherine’s first husband’s name was Alexei and he was involved in the criminal world. He was not a real authority and a killer; he “only” dismantled stolen cars for parts.

When his wife became interested in dramatic art, he began to throw scandals, convincing her that only women of easy virtue become actresses. The beauty was so tired of the prohibitions on personal development that she considered divorce to be the best solution.

Alexei and Ekaterina’s marriage gave birth to a daughter, Valeria, whom the actress took with her to Moscow.

Second marriage

After graduating from university, Ekaterina immediately began working in enterprise performances. She participated in several serious projects at the Stanislavsky Theater and was associated with the Praktika Theater.

The actress also acted in films, and even went to present one of the films at a festival in Khanty-Mansiysk. There she met director and producer Sergei Chliyants.

He was so enchanted that he immediately invited the beauty to marry him.

The sensible woman, then already a mother, was not used to cutting from the shoulder and preferred to first get to know the director better. Therefore, they signed only a year later, and only a year later their true attitudes towards life and creativity began to be revealed.

It turned out that the spouses have different, simply polar views on some important things. Therefore, their marriage did not last long and did not bring any significant feelings or incidents for Volkova.

Limonov

After her second divorce, she plunged into the world of TV series, which in our country are capable of bringing true popular love to artists. She starred first in the famous television series “Next”, and then in “KGB in a Tuxedo” and this time the audience really fell in love with her.

At the time when the second series was released and found its first fans, Catherine began to be recognized. Therefore, when at one of the vernissages she caught the fascinated gaze of a shocking politician, writer and public figure Eduard Limonov was not surprised. But “Edichka” looked so intrusively that she decided to approach him herself.

“My name is Katya Volkova,” the star introduced herself, confident that the politician was interested in her because he saw her on TV. But he surprised her with his answer:

And who are you?

This is how one of the most unexpected and vibrant novels began. modern Russia. Their age difference was more than 30 years, they truly loved each other dearly and were considered the most shocking couple in our country at the beginning of the 21st century.

Children

Imbued with Limonov’s ideas, Ekaterina began going to rallies. The couple did not miss news from the art world, and one day Katya asked her lover to shave her head. The new look suited the beauty so well that she stayed in it for some time - until she became pregnant.

After giving birth, it suddenly became clear that the baby was interfering with the bright and direct politician and thinker. Limonov rented an apartment for himself in another place so that he could work in peace, and in response to Catherine’s hints that the family needed to be provided for, he only called her a bourgeois and reproached her for her base needs.

She will later note more than once that Edward is an extremely worthy person, but when children are born, mothers become completely uninterested in the revolution.

Catherine’s second pregnancy put an end to their relationship. The daughter of Volkova and Limonov, Sashenka, was born at the end of their relationship. Ekaterina became mother of many children, and Edward absolutely did not want to know anything about the food of his now very large family.

They did not divorce for a long time due to some bureaucratic problems related to Limonov’s registration. However, Catherine did not insist, wishing Edward success in his political affairs (he was then running for president of the country) and laughed: what if I become the first lady?

Now Volkova is involved in the filming of several projects at once. She never forbade Limonov to meet with children, and he, in turn, visited them and helped financially.

After the third divorce, there were actresses and novels in her life, but now she tries not to advertise her personal life. However, she is not shy about going out with her suitors. However, the man with whom she is seen in Lately, is far from show business.

Personal life and hobbies

Ekaterina Volkova came to Volgograd to present new season STS. Coincidentally, on the eve of the actress’s arrival, the beloved series “Voronin”, to the delight of all fans, was included in the Guinness Book of Records. After all, this is the longest adapted series, 455 episodes have already been released.

Woman’s Day congratulated the leading actress Vera Voronina, actress Ekaterina Volkova, on this event, and talked with her about filming, family and how to maintain a balance between personal life and work.

- How many hours a day do you spend filming the series “Voronin”?

Now we have a lot of touring and traveling, so our schedules have changed a little. But when we filmed in a tighter mode, with live broadcasts, we spent six days a week filming, and sometimes we worked without days off at all.

- It turns out that your family only sees you at night?

It happens that they don’t even see at night! If I'm not on set, I'm going on tour, constantly flying in and out, packing my bags. It even happens that there is no time to go home. Then I call my husband straight from the airport and ask him to bring me my things.

- Is your husband jealous of your colleagues?

This stage has already passed. But at first he was wildly jealous of Dronov (Georgy Dronov, who plays Kostya Voronin, Catherine’s serial “husband” - editor’s note)! We were not married at that time. And Andrei was very “lucky”: no matter how he arrived on the set, we were lying in bed with Dronov. Now we are all friends and communicate as families. But it’s good that my husband was jealous. It's good for relationships.

- Does being jealous mean loving?

I think yes. He doesn’t hit, but he’s jealous! This means she is not indifferent. I’m jealous of him too and I think that’s right. If you treat a person with disregard, indifference, you don’t care where he is or with whom, the relationship is over. This means that people simply exist together. And if something hurts, that’s good.

- How do you manage to combine work and a happy family life?

We must remember that we are all different people. My husband and I (Andrey Karpov, architect and professional dancer, married since 2010 - editor's note) both creative people and we put a lot of effort into our work. When our schedules coincide and we are together at home for two or three days, this is happiness. But then we realize that we interfere with each other, and everyone needs some kind of personal space. It seems to me that our marriage rests on the fact that we love spending time together at home, but at any moment we can go on tour and have time to get bored. And when we come home, we simply don’t have time for quarrels and resentments. I want to be in comfort and warmth, and not waste time sorting things out. Although they do exist.

- I thought you had an ideal family...

What do you! We ordinary people and we also quarrel over trifles. But these moments when we can be alone after long separation- they are priceless.

With daughter Lisa

- Do you manage to plan weekends with your family?

I look at my parents: my mother is a housewife, and my father worked from Monday to Friday all his life. They always spent Saturday and Sunday together. It would be hard for me. Although now I look at couples who have this stability, who know that they devote their weekends to their family. With us everything is different. Lisa (daughter of Ekaterina and Andrei - editor's note) says: “Mom, I want to go to the theater!” OK, when? On Saturday? So, I have filming on Saturday. Come on, you and daddy go. And immediately in response: “Mom, I want to be with you.” And I’m faced with the fact that I need to be on set in the morning, then I need to go to the theater for a play with Lisa, and in the evening there’s the premiere of the musical “Ghost,” which I’m going to with my husband. How can you plan anything with such a schedule?

- Aren’t you tormented by remorse that you don’t “add” something to your family?

Happens. Of course, I try to somehow compensate for this time. I take my daughter with me to performances. Someone will say that this is wrong, that such behavior violates the child’s routine. But she's so happy! And that makes me happy. Lisa helps me. She also really loves coming to the set, because she grew up watching the series “Voronin”. Everyone knows her, and she knows everyone. Sometimes we can act out and not go to class. We prepare breakfast together: cheesecakes, omelettes, and set the table. Of course, like many working mothers, I buy her toys. Although she is already quite old, she herself understands that she has a lot of toys. Now we take puzzles and books.

- Does your daughter like to read?

Lisa already reads herself and loves this activity very much. Recently she read Mary Poppins aloud to me while I was cooking dinner. She herself chose such a serious book. First I watched our film, found the book, and started reading. True, the chapters in the books confused her, because in the movies there is no division. But I explained everything to her, and everything fell into place.

- Who takes care of the child when you are on the road?

We entrust this important task to our grandparents. But now, since we have moved and live far from them, we are looking for a good nanny. School is ahead, and it is important that a professional takes care of Lisa. We are looking for a woman with a pedagogical education. How to choose? My friends, of course, advise. But this is a difficult decision for me.

- It is known that you have three dogs in your house. How did you decide to do this?

It wasn't really our choice. At first we only had a cat, he has been with us since 2007. But Lisa really wanted a puppy! We chose a Spitz - he is small, cute and domestic. Then my husband got the idea to get another dog. And so luckily I saw an ad on Facebook for the sale of an Akita Inu dog. Andrey was delighted with her! Then Lizochka and I gave dad a gift. And the third puppy appeared recently, when we had already moved into the house. Bo (an Akita Inu dog) found him and took “patronage” over him. The foundling was named Ru, full name– Runet, because the whole world chose its name.

- By the way, about the house. All the fans on your Instagram are following the renovation. How is it going?

We already live in the house, but renovations are still in progress. Small touches are being completed. I want to do everything as well as possible. This is our first home together, we have been looking for it for a very long time. In the beginning there was only a box, which we transform at our discretion. There is a school nearby, it’s not a long drive to the city, we are very lucky with our neighbors. And most importantly, how everything coincided in one place, although we dreamed of our own vein for a very long time. But it’s not for nothing that they say: everything has its time.

- Did you and your husband argue during the renovation?

We're still fighting! We are an ordinary family. We argue about wallpaper, about furniture, where things should stand. Although my husband controls the entire process, I only make minor changes. However, Andrei cannot always be there; he has many other projects (Ekaterina’s husband is also an architect - editor’s note). Therefore, I have to manage the workers. And they keep dragging on. Sometimes it seems to me that I live with them different worlds. I want all this to end as soon as possible.

- Do you have matriarchy, patriarchy or democracy in your family?

What matriarchy or patriarchy, what are you talking about? It won’t work with me, and even more so with Andrey. We try to find compromises. It won’t work with your husband to act directly, head-on. His great-grandmother was a gypsy. Can you imagine the blood in it? So I do what most women do: I said yes and did it my way.
