What fairy tales did you like?
I loved fairy tales about all the weak and depressed. I really liked the fairy tale about Dwarf Nose, about Little Flour, about all the flawed ones, who then were lucky, because they showed some of their hidden talents and could prove that they too are claiming a place in the sun. Still very fond of Cinderella, Thumbelina, in general, those who are "not like everyone else." Here such fairy tales, and especially their finale, gave me happiness.
But you yourself associated with some fairy-tale heroine?
I have not been oriented to anyone since childhood. Only on their own life principles, in their own coordinate system. Do not be surprised, as a child, I knew exactly what goals to set myself. A fairy tale is a fiction, and I, in fact, began to understand very early that life is not fiction.
Did you feel your uniqueness?
You know, I still do not feel unique here, to be honest. I feel my "specialty", but it seems to me that any person who came to this world is not deprived of this. If you suddenly find out what you really want to do, this is your uniqueness in the long run. Therefore, our merit, in fact, is not in the sense of it, but in the ability to recognize what we are here for. Everything is very simple and at the same time difficult.
A dream of "star" dreaming?
All my dreams in one way or another extended to other things. Learn, get a "medal", achieve some professional results. Self-improvement, self-knowledge, self-expression - all this is embedded in my understanding of myself as a person. As for the "star" ... I do not like this word. Starry - this is when you leave the house in the evening in the Crimea and the stars shine brightly from heaven (in Kiev they are practically not visible).
You make the impression of a very confident person. Tell me, have you always been self-confident or did you have to cherish and cherish this feeling?
When you groan and cherish yourself, you relax yourself. I'm just from enough "doubters" (hypochondria and even sometimes insecure) people. I, on the contrary, tempered myself, forced me to take risks, take certain decisions, even if there is some "but". Moreover, I repeatedly "burned", "hit", but at the same time learned to live with my mistakes. What you call my sense of confidence, it's acquired. They say risk is a noble cause.
Are you prone to risk?
Gambling, extreme, adventure (in the morning to gather, in the evening to fly somewhere in Nepal) - this is not for me. But in the work I take risks.
If it comes to intuition, the quality is very feminine, then the next question will be very feminine: what do you think should be guided by a woman choosing a life partner?
Lord, yes, with love! I'll never give you advice in my life: go there, do it, ask for a passport, look into the bank account. This is not a question to me at all. I believe that a woman comes into this life in order to love and be loved, and then she is capable of moving mountains!
All parents wish their children happiness. What qualities do you seek to raise in your daughter in order to see her happy in the future?
For me, the main thing is for my daughter to remain a person in any situation. We try to analyze and reflect on it. I want her to be a thinking person. "I think - therefore I am," - said the old man Descartes. I myself live by this principle. When you think, when you are filled with content, then the core becomes stronger in you, then you are free to choose how to act, how to act. I never prohibit and do not push it to these or those decisions, to these or those vital positions. They will have it themselves, if she learns to think. For me, freedom in thinking is very important.
Do you give her such freedom? Even if she does not agree with you and insists on her in the wrong decision? Are you scared that she will get burned?
The main thing is contact and trust. That's the confidence in our relationship, I'm afraid to lose. And with all the rest of the problems, I'm sure we will manage!
Even the strongest woman sometimes wants very much to feel weak. Is it important for you to have a sense of security and have there been cases when it left you?
Yes, for me the feeling of security is important. Here I do not try to be special, I do not want to! And I want to be weak sometimes. Sometimes I cry, and it happens in different periods of my life. It seems to me that this is a natural manifestation of all those who consider themselves women and have not lost a woman in themselves.
In the media, you have a pretty nickname Masha-Ulybash. Interesting wording. Yes, I probably consider myself an optimist. I try to assess any difficult situation from the point of view of getting out of it.
