Marina Fedunkiv: 10 short questions

______________________________

What childish prank are you still ashamed of?

Usually I try to be naughty in such a way that it is not a shame for me, but for me. (Laughs) Well, no, I try to keep myself in control. As a child, there was a case, my grandmother’s relatives lived abroad, and by some miracle, bypassing the “Iron Curtain”, they sent her a chic fur coat. That one, of course, hung in a separate place in the closet, was perceived as a real treasure and was worn extremely rarely and only on great occasions. Well, at school we were asked to make a souvenir for grandmothers. Well, I logically figured that since a fur coat is so dear to my grandmother, then a souvenir needs to be made from it so that it is also valuable. Therefore, I cut off a huge piece of fur with scissors and made a ladybug out of it. I think it was the first time in my life that I saw my grandmother completely shocked. And the reason for this was not the delight of my gift …

Who has a better sense of humor – you or your husband?

We organically complement each other. Stefano has a great sense of humor.

Your show, which will premiere this November, is called Not Monica Bellucci. Which actress was your idol and why?

The benchmark for me was Faina Ranevskaya. By the way, we were born on the same day. As for the show, the premiere is not in November, this Moscow concert is scheduled for the end of autumn, and before that we will show the show on tour in other cities. It turned out very funny and bright, I hope the audience will appreciate it.

What movie role do you dream of playing?

Tragicomic. But so far, a suitable scenario has not been found.

What’s the first thing you do when you get back from tour?

I go to bed. Moving is very exhausting. And even if the change of time zones occurs, the dream goes astray. So you have to make up at home.

Who is in charge of your house – you or your husband?

Our animals. Yes, often everything is subject to their will and desires, and we put up with it. As for our union with my husband, after the wedding, I allowed myself to relax – I decided that you are a man, you are the rudders. At first it was difficult for me, not for him, because all my life I dragged everything on myself, I got used to command, I got used to having the last word for me. I tried to wean myself from this, and when it started to turn out, I liked it so much! I began to catch the buzz from life and therefore do not mind at all that a man makes key decisions. Moreover, Stefano is excellent at it. He is a manager from God, with a cool analytical mindset.

Italian husbands are considered ideal by Russian women. Do you agree with this? Does your husband have flaws?

I won’t speak for everyone. My husband is perfect for me. I admire not only his mind, but also his moral qualities. And I am responsible for our shortcomings. Although, if you ask Stefano, he also considers me an ideal and forbids scolding and criticizing himself. This is how we are perfect for each other. (Laughs) But seriously, everyone has flaws, the question is how much we accept them. My husband’s set of positive qualities greatly outweighs the possible negative points, and therefore the latter are of little importance.

What childhood dream did you fulfill as an adult?

I always dreamed that I had a house outside the city. I grew up in the countryside, I have a lot of warm memories associated with my childhood. I was looking for a house for a very long time and quite by accident I found the one I wanted: rustic, with a well next door. I got this house by a miracle, there were many who wanted to buy it. I was interviewed in full, the owner was not ready to sell the house to anyone. Now I live outside the city, as in childhood.

If there was an extra free hour in the day, what would you spend it on?

To communicate in social networks with my subscribers. I have an amazing audience, very kind and sympathetic. They write me so many good words! I would tell everyone how much I appreciate his attention and support.
