It is always pleasant to talk with a wise woman. Interesting. And, when still a wise woman and a popular actress, then doubly. Personally, I have always been interested in how to combine seemingly “incompatible” things: a strong marriage, a cozy home and a successful career. People's Artist of Ukraine Nina Georgievna Nizheradze shared the "incongruous" with the Baltic Bureau "Argumenty Nedelya". -Nina Georgievna, this year has brought problems and troubles to many. A tough year. Sometimes the hands are lowered. How did you get through this year? -Of course, the year is difficult, sad. If we start to give up, then there will be more problems. And this simply cannot be allowed! It is very bitter, painful to see how your colleagues "leave" with whom you were friends, communicated, and worked. Bitterly. But such a fate. Each of us has our own destiny. We will all leave someday But what is there, in heaven, we now do not know. But I believe that there is life. Different, but there. How did I get through the year? Survived. In terms of creativity, not bad at all: I was introduced to the play "When the trees were big" for the role of grandmother (Kiev National Academic Theater of Russian Drama named after Lesya Ukrainka - approx. "AN"). This role, before her departure, was played by Valeria Zaklunnaya. A great role, and I think I "fit in" well. Everything worked out. Our acting business is to work! This is how we were taught. -Nina Georgievna, you graduated from GITIS, workshop of Oleg Tabakov. What was Oleg Pavlovich like in life? -Different! This was the first course for Oleg Pavlovich. The first course of students whom he "recruited" as a teacher. We were the first and beloved children of his. He treated us like his children. And he scolded us, and pitied us, and helped. I remember well how he always brought us gifts from any trip! Necessarily! For girls, for example, tights, and for boys, for example, shaving sets. In those days, foreign toothpaste, shampoo was cool! Spoiled us Of course, spoiled us. They could have easily asked for money: the students always had a strain with this. He fed us. I remember that he had a jacket on the back of his chair, and there were good imported cigarettes in it. So our boys pulled out of him on the sly, and Oleg Pavlovich pretended not to notice anything. His concern was parental. But he also asked us. Yes, see for yourself what a galaxy of wonderful actors he brought up! He taught us to think, find images, express our opinions openly. We had democracy on the course. We decided all issues together. A wonderful person, a great artist. I always remember Oleg Pavlovich with gratitude. -Nina Georgievna, for many years you have been married to actor Viktor Saraykin ("Counter-game", "According to the laws of wartime", "Mitya's Tales", "Major", "Threads of Fate", - "AN"). Is it difficult for two creative people to live together? No, for example, rivalry? Spouse of Nina Nizheradze Victor Saraikin in makeup - Of course not! We are both accomplished people. Not just a husband and wife, but relatives. Victor is my half, and I am his. It is more than love - a kinship of souls. -And there are no quarrels? -There are. But what about without them? We are both emotional people. But how many have been lived together, how many "roads passed", tests. Everything brought us together so much that I don't have a dearer person. -Nina Georgievna, how did Victor make an offer to you? Remember? - Yes, everything happened simply. They were young, cheerful, mischievous. When we got married, we already had our son Matvey in our "project". Even before the wedding. This is how we live to this day. -And get on one knee, present flowers and propose? -You do not say! You’ll get it from him! This was not the case. But every moment of my life I feel his presence, care, respect, love.-Nina Georgievna, are you at home discussing, for example, new roles? Are you consulting your husband? Is he interested in your opinion? -Of course, we express our opinion to each other. Recently I watched a good series "Romance with a detective" There Victor played in two episodes (each episode has its own story). I really liked him in this role. I told him so. Yes, we can discuss, but we ourselves will decide what to "do" with the role. Nobody presses, does not force. We are self-sufficient actors and each of us does what he sees fit. -Nina Georgievna, you starred in Tatyana Ustinova's detective story "The Myth of the Ideal Man." What is he? -Ideal? Yes, who knows? And is he there? And does a woman need a perfect man? Is my husband an ideal man, for example? Yes, journalists ask and about this I always answer that this is not my “type of man”. So what? But how many years have we lived! And I don't need the best! This is my man! -Thank you.
