Marina Devyatova.

Marina, can I finally congratulate you on your housewarming?
- Can. Of course, the repair is not completely finished, there are some interior details that the hands do not reach. I chose the area for the apartment for a very long time. All my childhood was spent in the east of Moscow, and therefore I did not want to leave my relatives, my mother, my grandmother. But, unfortunately, nothing new was being built in my area, and I could only afford a purchase at the zero stage of construction. For many years I gave a loan, and even repairs - this is half the cost of an apartment. Last year I paid off all my debts, plus I managed to do my solo concert. Many friends even asked me: “Where are you lost?” And I, like a damned one, went on tour, did not refuse any work. I really dislike living in debt, they hung over me like a sword of Damocles, and I needed to get rid of them. Thank God, got rid of it.
— What difficulties did you encounter during the renovation process?
- The biggest difficulty, probably, was to negotiate with the management company, which demanded money for each use of the elevator by my repairmen. I had to pay for every little thing, while there were all permits and contracts. But I had an amazing team of workers, an amazing foreman, who made an estimate for me and met it. The apartment is small, but there was a lot to fit into it. And my suits are a separate song: they should not be wrinkled, they should be aired. Fortunately, this apartment has many balconies, so I made a dressing room on one of them. Well, the funniest thing is when you were asked, they say, what color do you like better: white, milky or creamy. And the brain explosion began.
- Due to the nature of your work at home, you are at home infrequently. What is a home for you?
- Of course, if you look at housing, taking into account my lifestyle, you may get the impression that this is a kind of transit point. Indeed, there are rarely days when you can just stay at home. But in addition to being an artist, I am also a woman who keeps clean, cooks food and takes care of the house. I have a complex of excellent students, so everything should shine. A woman comes to me to help me clean up, but I cook exclusively by myself, I don’t trust anyone. Of course, there is nothing dearer than your parents' house. I love visiting my mother. But I rarely invite guests myself. There are restaurants, cafes where you can meet with girlfriends, but the house is still a place where you want to be an ordinary woman.

- I understand that you see your mother from time to time. And how are relations with father Vladimir Devyatov developing?
My dad will soon become a dad for the fifth time. He should have a girl. They promised to call her Masha. So it turns out that the older you get, the less often you manage to come to your parents. Moreover, my parents are divorced, and you must first go to one, then to another. With dad, we probably see each other more often - this is both the stage and backstage. Plus there are all kinds of sites where we actively communicate. But he is also a guest performer, and it is not always possible to combine schedules. It unites the older generation - these are my grandparents. The head of the family is our grandfather and God forbid, if you don’t get to your grandfather’s birthday, you will need to report where you were and why!
Your parents separated when you were very young. Which of them insisted on getting a musical education?
- Mom did not have time to think about this topic: she worked three jobs, so my grandmother was engaged in education. Baba Raya was a real hooligan who, with her sick legs, managed to climb into the attic with me, ride the elevator, get stuck in it, cover up the minus of the four in the diary. In general, we were one combat team with her. Mom did all the dirty work, when you need to raise your child every day and make her sit down at the piano and so on. Then my father quietly turned on, but by that time I was fifteen years old. Of course, dad played a huge role, he just changed my taste in music. Subsequently, when I began to go to performances at the Novaya Opera, where he sang the arias of the Demon, Sinodal from the opera The Demon, the part of Shuisky from Boris Godunov, I clearly realized that he was an insanely talented person.
- When did it become clear that you would pursue a solo career?
- I didn’t think at all that I would be professionally engaged in music, because the music school kills this desire. When I finished the ninth grade, I thought I would be a lawyer. My grandfather is a military prosecutor. But my father played great on my ego when he brought me to the professional big stage, and I was no longer thirty-third in the choir. I wanted a solo career.
- Now envious people will exclaim: “Well, dad helped her!”
- And why if dad helped, then it's bad? What is wrong with parents wanting to help their child? Besides, sometimes people ask me who is Vladimir Devyatov? And I am very bitter about this, because I understand that he is talented. And if the father did not get into show business at one time, this does not mean that he is a bad artist. Dad didn't give me a lot of money, he doesn't have any, he's not my producer. Dad helped me with advice, directed me on this path. And what is so bad here?
Lilia Sharlovskaya
- I heard that you still managed to work as a teacher ...
- At some point, I wanted to tell something to the children, and in the Center of Russian Culture of my father, I opened a children's vocal school. But the touring activity took its toll, and now I am exclusively engaged in supervising children. I have graduates who went to college and continue to practice folk singing.
- They say that you performed in the UK in front of Queen Elizabeth II herself. And we know our president...
— I managed to get acquainted with many presidents. I met Vladimir Vladimirovich in Guatemala, when it was announced that the Olympic Games would be held in Sochi. There Putin visited the Russian House. I remember his first handshake well. I felt like I was being scanned from head to toe. I was so scared, it seemed that he would scold me for some reason. (Laughs.) And when we all won, we became like one big family. It didn't matter anymore: a minister, a president or a singer. Inexpressible impressions.
- Let's return from Guatemala to your apartment in the capital. Does it have room for a man?
- I am very careful about everything related to my personal life. I grew up in a family in which my parents divorced, so I don’t want to raise a child alone. I don't want to get married and then get divorced. My grandparents have been together for 61 years. I do not understand how you can live together for so many years. He still calls her Katenka, and she calls him Serezhenka. Of course, I have a young man. He is very kind and decent. Accepts me for who I am, understands me. We have been together for three years, and he knows my family.
Your father will have a fifth child. Have you thought about motherhood?
- I fearfully imagine the moment when I realize that I am in a position and I will need to understand what is in priority: motherhood or creativity. Naturally, I will not jump around the stage with a belly. But when you have a team and you are responsible for those with whom you work, everything is much more complicated. I want to become a mother, but I understand that everything has its time.
- If you have a free minute, what do you prefer to do?
- I'm definitely going somewhere, traveling, trying to go abroad. I traveled a lot this summer. But now we have returned and are preparing with might and main a solo program dedicated to the fifteenth anniversary of creative activity. I have been singing professionally since the age of fifteen. This is a serious date, and I am carefully, seriously preparing for the concert at the Variety Theater. But I'm not complaining, I'm getting high. I love when there are problems. (Laughs.)
