The heroine of our interview is the film actress Anastasia Tsvetaeva. She is a distant descendant of the famous Tsvetaevs, and is named after Anastasia Vertinskaya. In this situation, she is simply doomed to be talented and versatile. But now she is preparing for a completely different role. Her house is full of angels. Drawn and voluminous; birch bark, cloth, porcelain, of all kinds of colors and sizes, angels live on shelves, on a radiator, even in a bed. They hover around their mistress and, in her opinion, their presence in the house makes it easier to breathe. But the most important angel lives inside the inhabitant of the apartment. There were only a few days left before his birth.

Nastya, after graduating from RATI, not even three years have passed, and you already have a serious filmography. Career in full swing, and you suddenly decided to give birth. Aren't you afraid that diapers and undershirts will interfere with your career? Or have nannies interviewed and are you ready to get started?

- Well, not such a breathtaking career for me! When we were growing up, our mothers really retired after having a baby. Now, many of our mothers' problems are a thing of the past. The fruits of progress made life much easier for mothers. There were washing machines, baby carriers and kenguryatniks, folding strollers, diapers. Many mums are driving and can move around easily. We can do both a career and a baby.

Nastya, you say so as if you already have at least one baby

- No, I have only one so far, and then I have not seen it. (Gently smiles and strokes her tummy - author's note). But my girlfriends were giving birth. I watch them. One of my friends gave birth in the fourth year of the institute, and this did not prevent her from playing her graduation performance, graduating with honors from the RATI and now working in the theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan.

How did you know you were pregnant?

- Well, how did I know! Like everyone else - due to the absence of some processes. I really wanted children and planned to have them, but it was an abstract desire. Everything went very well for me, there were roles. At some point I thought that it would be great to get pregnant now, but I didn't mean right now, so, within a year. There was no such thing that I said: "That's it, dear, today we are making children!" - (laughs). I thought that this could happen to anyone, but not to me. For some reason I thought that it was difficult to get pregnant and I just wouldn't be able to do it. I believed that if you want a child, you will not get pregnant. Easily at 15, if you accidentally sleep with a boy in the bathroom at a party. At the first moment, I didn’t believe it.

What did you think?

- Failure in the body, probably. After all, we all have not perfect health. My gynecologist friend made me buy a test. I resisted for a long time, and when the result was positive, I did not believe it. I bought another one. I thought that bad ecology affects the test and my body (laughs). Only a small dot on the ultrasound monitor convinced me. I was terribly happy. I began to think how the appearance of the baby would affect the course of my life. After all, it's one thing to just think about the perspective, and another thing to feel it and know: "He already exists!"

How did you get the news to your future dad?

- Who else told whom! The future dad guessed faster than me that I was pregnant, and convinced me of this. I said: "You are kidding, ha ha ha!".

And the grandmothers? It is always difficult for them to move to another "weight category"

- I consider my grandmother my family, so she knows this role very well. My grandmother is super-modern: she still dresses stylishly and beautifully, looks after herself, and it never occurs to anyone that she is my grandmother and not my mother. I was only afraid that she would start to admire and cackle, but she saved me from snot. The status of a great-grandmother does not bother her.

Do you already know whether a boy or a girl lives in you?

- At first I really wanted to know. I came for an ultrasound scan, and the baby hid who he was. And then I thought, if a person shuts down, it means that he does not want me to know who he is. He might want to surprise mom! Since then, I have asked not to tell me who is there. "Respect Human Rights!" - I repeat to the doctors. I have an inner premonition, but I try not to cultivate it in myself. What if I don't guess and get upset ?! The kid will be unpleasant. I am looking forward to anyone. For both the boy and the girl, I have several names ready at once.

Do you believe in "pregnant" signs?

- The fact that you can't buy anything before giving birth? No! Observing the signs is very inconvenient. Who will buy the exact things that I like? I will suffer if I don't like it. I have already bought and put a chest of drawers, a crib, a stroller in the room. The only thing left to buy is diapers.

How to choose: pink or blue?

- And besides pink and blue, there are other colors (laughs). I bought orange ones. And then, if I even knew for sure that I would have a girl, I would not buy her blouses with ruffles.

Have you already established contact with your baby?

- After the first ultrasound, I realized that inside of me is a man with his own character and he must be respected. Already there he hears me well. I am talking to him, we are discussing something. If a dog on the street scares us, I calm him down. We already went to the Conservatory, the Tretyakov Gallery. I'm so used to having a living little man in my pocket, that now, when there are very few days left before the birth, I sometimes think, but with whom should I talk when he is born !?

Girls in an interesting piquant position tend to do something unconventional. What are you drawn to?

- Oddly enough, I did not mutate during pregnancy, and strange things did not start to happen to me. I kept waiting, waiting for something unusual. So, apparently, I can't wait already. On the contrary, I gave up my beloved McDonald's. If earlier the hamburger was the most delicious food, now I don't want it.

Emotions are emotions, but the most important thing is childbirth. Do you already know where the baby will be born?

- I was in all the super popular maternity hospitals and was disappointed. I found a simple maternity hospital that meets all my requirements. We have already signed a contract. It even stipulates a psychologist.

Now there is a real baby boom among our stars. Some are already ready to go on stage from the family, others do not make plans. And you?

- I would not want to immediately rush to the embrasure and start working. I want to sit with the baby for a longer time and enjoy communication with him. The first six months for sure. I will communicate, if possible, with the directors and go to auditions, but not immediately plunge into work. If there is a worthwhile project, then I will figure out how, without abandoning the child and without ceasing to feed him, to start working. And if the directors forget, we will remind ourselves of ourselves.

Pregnancy is a special time and awakens some special talents in women. You haven't discovered anything like that in yourself?

- I have always been partial to beautiful and comfortable clothes. I was even invited to fashion shows. A year ago at RFW I participated in the fashion show of Sultana Frantsuzova and other young Russian designers. Most of the pregnancy, I went through my usual things. When I began to recover, I bought jeans with an elastic band, and put on stretched sweaters on top. In the summer, both normal women and girls wore blouses expanding from the chest. In general, there were no problems. All the time I went to stores for expectant mothers and babies and was horrified by the clothes that pregnant women had to wear. It seems to me that in such clothes you can only ride potatoes. And when my tummy grew, the idea was born to create a collection of clothes for pregnant women. Especially for evening outings. I went to all kinds of parties during my pregnancy, and I wanted to look elegant and fashionable.

And what did you do?

- I drew sketches of dresses and found masters. If all goes well, we will open a maternity store. There will be not only clothes, but all sorts of things for mothers and babies.

Will we lose the actress Nastya Tsvetaeva?

- I want to continue to design clothes. But let it be an alternative to my acting profession.

By the way, about acting. What was the last thing you did before pregnancy?

- The last job was during pregnancy. At the 7th month, I starred in the video "Roots" for the song "Soon to School". So I sat at my desk and dreamed of cribs and undershirts.

You are there in the image of a schoolgirl, so thin, small

- And then I could not see anything at all. Many people asked: "You have somehow changed. Either you have lost weight, or you have gained weight …".

Nastya, is there a difference between filming a video and a movie?

- Only in the duration of the filming itself. You can shoot a short clip that everyone will remember, or you can shoot a movie that no one will notice. It all depends on the talent of the director and the actors.

Do you have a complete film library of your works at home?

- No, I’m trying to collect it all the time, but my friends and journalists ask to see it, and then they don’t return it. Sometimes I want to buy a cassette in a store, but at the last moment it becomes uncomfortable - they suddenly think that I suffer from delusions of grandeur.

Do they often find out?

- They recognize it, but more from the clip of the Beasts "Everything that concerns you". Especially children and adolescents. I am pleased to be photographed and to give autographs to children. This is so touching! In their minds, I am in no way associated with the expectant mother. But adults are perplexed that I can be such a real chorus girl. My gynecologist, when I saw the new clip "Roots", was amazed. He got used to me, so serious and pregnant, taking tests, always asking something and worrying about something. And then hop! - a girl with ponytails.

Does the serious Anastasia Tsvetaeva have an ideal of a man?

- And the ideal - this is the case: you paint yourself an abstract picture, come up with what his eyes, ears, habits, and meet, and he turns out to be completely different, but only with him you feel happy.

What is the secret of female happiness in life?

- This is a state that occurs suddenly, it is happiness of life … You suddenly feel yourself in complete harmony with yourself and the world. The secret, perhaps, is that one must strive for happiness and harmony and be able to keep them. But the main happiness in life I'm about to happen.
