The popular show "Comedy Woman" has been one of the brightest and most eye-catching projects on television for more than 10 years. Its participants have created many recognizable images that are easy to meet in everyday life among friends and acquaintances.
The actresses have gained great popularity in Russia and abroad, turning the television entertainment program into a real touring theater. Each of the girls is unique in its own way. One of the central participants of Comedy Vumen is actress Maria Kravchenko, whose biography and personal life are discussed in this material.
Childhood
The future star of the modern comedy genre was born on January 13, 1985 in the Khabarovsk Territory, the city of Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Maria's family, like many in the provinces, worked in the industrial sector, there were no people of creative professions among relatives and friends. Little Masha grew up as an active and artistic child, she constantly acted out home performances and started playing games in the theater with puppets.
Maria Kravchenko as a child with her parents
The parents decided that in order to develop creative abilities, it would not hurt to take their daughter to a music school, where Maria began to learn to play the piano. She loved to study, but, getting older, she told her relatives that she did not want to associate her life with the keys, and would look for herself in other directions. The girl was attracted by foreign languages, her dream was the work of a translator.
Student years
After graduating from high school in her hometown, the girl entered the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys, at the Faculty of Education. One of Maria's classmates was Ekaterina Varnava, who can also be seen in the Comedy Vumen show. The friendship of these talented and active girls has grown into a joint passion for KVN. They played in pair scenes, thought out performances together, wrote scripts for the institute team.
Among the students, there were several more artistic and passionate girls, so in 2003 the “MISiS Team” was formed. The women's team existed until 2005, having distinguished themselves at several student festivals. Many began to lose enthusiasm, life priorities changed.
Maria in her youth with her close friend Ekaterina Varnava
Maria Kravchenko and Ekaterina Varnava did not plan to stop, feeling a great attraction to playing on stage, after a while they received an invitation to join the KVN team "Team of Small Nations", already known to a wide range of viewers in 2005.
In the 2005 KVN Premier League, the team performed with new members. Maria participated in comedy skits with such partners as Nikolai Gigani and Renat Fatkhullin. Then the “Team of Small Nations” took 4th place. In 2006, Kravchenko and her team managed to get into the Major League, but the guys were weaker than other teams and did not make it to the final. After that, the “Team” began to disintegrate.
M. Kravchenko as part of the Team of Small Nations
Kravchenko and Varnava moved to the women's team "Their Secrets", formed within the walls of the Moscow Financial and Legal Academy. The team performed at the Sochi festival in 2007, at the Voting Kivin festival in Jurmala, and also made it to the Higher League in 2008, where it was decided to stop playing activities in the usual composition.
Participation in "Comedy Vumen"
Girlfriends Kravchenko and Varnava got the main thing from performances in various teams - participation in the filming and the attention of the viewer. They began to be recognized, invited to major festivals, and most importantly, the girls got the opportunity to take part in the new comedy project Made in Woman.
Actress in "Comedy Wumen"
The project had a club format, the actresses performed in front of a small audience with humorous sketches in various vivid images. In 2008, the entertainment channel TNT showed interest in the project and acquired the right to release a television version. The first releases instantly made the show one of the highest rated on the screens.
The only role in the film "Women against men"
The heroines of Maria Kravchenko - noisy and broken girls from bad companies, who do not follow the language and give out unsurpassed speech turns, were immediately remembered and became loved by the public. The image was perfect for any situation that Maria showed on stage - an incident in a club, a quarrel with her husband, a dialogue with a friend, and others.
Family and personal life
The personal life of Maria Kravchenko from Comedy Vumen was under a veil of secrecy for quite a long time. The image of a sharp-tongued courtyard girl in sweatpants and with seeds in her pocket left an imprint on real life. Guys of this type began to show excessive attention to the actress, not realizing that in her free time from filming, Masha looks more like a real Turgenev young lady. Brought up by a music school and classical literature, the girl dreamed of meeting a well-read and developed man who would invite her to a theater or a museum, and not to a bench or an entrance.
In search of the man of her dreams, Maria Kravchenko also came to the Let's Get Married project. There she chose one of the three applicants for a relationship, but outside the set, the communication did not make the right impression on the girl.
Maria Kravchenko with her husband Konstantin Zolotarev
In 2014, Maria for the first time frankly spoke about her romance with Comedy Club Production producer Konstantin Zolotarev. They knew about the existence of each other since the launch of the Comedy Woman show, but did not meet in person until a few years later. Relations began to develop rapidly, a week after they met, Maria and Konstantin began to live together. Maria's lover had recently divorced his wife, whom he is currently helping to raise two common daughters.
On the set of the film Women Against Men in 2014, a man proposed to Maria, who played one of the main roles in the film. The producer surprised the girl by flying to Cuba unannounced, knocking on the door of a hotel room at dawn and presenting the coveted ring.
Actress on the set of the program "Where is the logic"
In the spring of 2015, another significant event happened in the personal life of Maria Kravchenko - photos of her husband and newborn daughter appeared on her social networks and caused a huge amount of congratulations. For Konstantin Zolotarev, daughter Victoria became the third child.
Maria returned to work in September 2016, starting filming the new season of the women's project. This is a massive show that only gets better with age. The image of Kravchenko is now much wider than it was at the very beginning of her career. The woman appears in the most unexpected roles, surprising fans with her unlimited talent.

The ranks of pregnant women have replenished: Maria Kravchenko is pregnant!
The Comedy Woman star is preparing to become a mother. All the details of celebrity pregnancy on TOPBEAUTY. Always one of the stars is expecting a baby, and the world, with bated breath, is waiting for the baby to be born. Blake Lively and Jessica Biel are pregnant right now. It seems that they have arrived in their orderly ranks: Maria Kravchenko is also in an interesting position! It's no secret that the star has been dating TNT producer Konstantin Zolotarev for more than a year, but no one knew that the couple was planning children. Maria Kravchenko is now in her fifth month of pregnancy and this will be her first child. But her chosen one is already a father twice and broke up with his wife not so long ago, but before the fateful meeting with the Comedy Woman star. The actress and humorist will become a mother in the spring of 2015. We hope that this time Konstantin will still be able to save his family.The star of KVN and the comedy show Comedy Woman Maria Kravchenko seems to have been born in order to amuse people and cheer them up. Her sparkling jokes and the transformation into a “show-off girl” have become so attached to the image of Masha that they have not perceived her differently for a long time.
But the transfer of the comedic image to life was not as pleasant as the fans of the artist imagine. Stardom is good, but if you are attracted to those who like a stage image that has nothing to do with reality, then be prepared for problems.
Childhood and youth
Maria Kravchenko was born in Komsomolsk-on-Amur in a frosty January 1985. There were no people of art in the family of the future artist. None of the parents or relatives had anything to do with theater and cinema. Dad worked at school as a physical education teacher, mom worked as a technologist at a textile factory.
In a provincial city that was famous for its industry, few young people dreamed of becoming an actor. Kravchenko did not dream about this either. Although it is worth noting that Masha grew up as a creative and artistic child.
Parents noticed this and took their daughter to a music school. But it would not be true to say that Masha loved music lessons. She mastered playing the piano, but she did not at all dream of touching the keys and participating in academic concerts of the Philharmonic for the rest of her life.
Therefore, the girl continued to search for herself in a different direction. She undertook to study foreign languages, planning to become an English teacher.
After graduation, she went to the capital. Maria did not escape the temptation to try to enter a theater school, but quickly failed in the exams. In order not to return home and not waste time, she, as she planned earlier, went to the entrance exams to the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys at the Faculty of Education.
Already during her studies, Maria met the Comedy Wumen star, familiar to everyone today. The girls were brought together by a great sense of humor and a desire to realize themselves.
KVN and Comedy Woman
After several rehearsals, Kravchenko and Varnava appeared on the institute stage. Together they acted out comic miniatures that the cheerful student fraternity liked. Soon a few more students joined the friends. At one point, the girls realized that this fun community is nothing more than a ready-made KVN female team. Without further ado, it was called the "MISiS Team".
However, not all members of the team were as talented as Maria Kravchenko and Katya Varnava. Perhaps that is why the KVN women's team did not gain fame and resounding success. The girls took part in several festivals and KVN forums, but, not seeing the prospects, they lost their former enthusiasm.
In 2005, the MISiS team began to disintegrate. Maria Kravchenko and her faithful friend did not agree with this development of affairs. The girls decided that it was too early to put an end to the career of comedians, because everything was just beginning. There were many ideas and intentions. Therefore, the artists left the dilapidated team and joined the strong KVN team "Team of Small Nations".
Maria Kravchenko as part of the team "Team of Small Nations" Under the auspices of the Club of cheerful and resourceful Maria Kravchenko and her colleague received a new impetus. The girls began to perform at various festivals. Often these were comedy skits, in which Nikolai Gigani and Renat Fatkhullin, teammates, participated.
The creative biography of Maria Kravchenko began to acquire new chapters. In 2005, Masha made her debut on the big stage. "Team of Small Nations" performed in the KVN Premier League. The team was a success. The guys got to the finals, but took only the 4th step.
Maria Kravchenko and Ekaterina Varnava on the stage of KVNThe following year, Maria Kravchenko, together with the team's players, again hit the TV screens: the "Team of Small Nations" performed in the Major League. But the first game was the last. The team repeated the sad story of the MISiS Team.
Artists failure only tempered. They decided not to turn off the chosen path. The girls joined another KVN team - the women's team "Their Secrets". At the Sochi festival, the women's "battalion" flew out of the championship after the first performance. But Maria Kravchenko and her constant colleague had 12 performances in various teams at that time, which KVN fans saw on TV. The girls were recognized.
In 2007, Maria Kravchenko, while still in the ranks of the Own Secrets team, tried her hand at the new comedy project Made in Woman. Soon the show received a new name - Comedy Woman. A little time passed, and the producers of the TNT channel drew attention to the comedy show. The debut of "Comedy Vumen" on TNT took place in November 2008. From the very first appearance of the humorous project on the screen, Maria Kravchenko turned into its central person and main character.
Maria Kravchenko acts as a courtyard girl The stage image of a broken girl who knows her own worth, taken by her, was liked and remembered by everyone. Masha was familiar with many representatives of this type from her youth in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Therefore, the image she created turned out to be surprisingly realistic. Kravchenko becomes a permanent member of Comedy Vumen.
Later, the actress changed the image of a yard girl to the role of a wife who constantly saws her husband. She became her partner in comedy skits.
Together they appeared in the miniatures "Husband's Temperature", "Guarding the Child's Sleep", "Winning the Lottery" and others.
In recent years, Maria Kravchenko has delighted fans with her appearance in the Supermarket of Love group. As it turned out, Masha's musical education came in handy. The actress also sings in the Comedy Vumen project. Together with her, Ekaterina Baranova and are working on vocal numbers.
Kravchenko also tried her hand at the theatrical stage, playing a role in the private performance "Wedding". According to Maria, working on the same platform with professional actors, she realized that she had nothing to learn from the masters. In addition, their collective game was clearly losing to professional KVN players, whose success always depends directly on the feeling of a partner.
Movies
The talent of the actress did not go unnoticed by the producers and directors of feature films. In 2011, Maria played in the celebrity comedy "The Best 3D Movie". The film is about a failed director who gets a chance to express himself creatively. The main cast included TNT channel comedians and Russian screen stars -,.
In 2015, the actress made her debut in the title role. She reincarnated as the heroine Sonya in the comedy "Women Against Men" about three couples of newlyweds who managed to quarrel with each other during a joint honeymoon trip. In the film, in addition to Kravchenko and who played the husband of her heroine, shone,. After 2 years, the shooting of the second film of the franchise "Women vs. Men: Crimean Holidays" was completed.
Personal life
The image of the “gopnitsa”, which reached for Maria in real life, played a cruel joke on her. The same guys began to gather around her, for whom "thieves' romance" was close and dear. But the girl, intelligent and different from the screen heroine, dreamed of other men with whom she had something to talk about, you can go to a museum or a theater. But there were none of those around.
At one time, the personal life of Maria Kravchenko remained unsettled. In search of happiness and a soul mate, the girl even went to the Let's Get Married project. But the guy, at first glance, the one Masha dreamed of, turned out to be different in real life.
And yet the artist waited for her betrothed. At the beginning of 2015, fans started talking about Masha's pregnancy. And in the spring of the same year, it became known that Maria Kravchenko became a mother. She gave birth to a daughter from producer Konstantin Zolotarev, who filmed his wife in the Women Against Men project. Previously, creative people were familiar from KVN games, but there they were separated by almost a whole generation of players: the future husband was 9 years older than Maria and was perceived by her as a veteran of the club.
The man made an offer to marry the actress in Cuba, where he flew after Maria, a secret from her. Early in the morning, Konstantin called the number of his beloved, who was already 5 months pregnant. The groom touchingly got down on one knee and presented the chosen one with a diamond ring and a prepared bouquet.
For Zolotarev, marriage to Kravchenko is the second. From the first he has two children - Varvara and Sofia. In a marriage with Masha, a third daughter was born, named Victoria. IN "Instagram" Maria Kravchenko immediately after the birth of her first child posted a photo of the newborn's bed.
Later, the girl was baptized in an Orthodox church, and Victoria's friend and colleague Ekaterina Barnabas became Victoria's godmother.

Maria Kravchenko
One of the star participants in the Comedy Woman show on TNT, Maria Kravchenko, calls herself the lucky one who managed to turn her gaming hobby into a well-paid media job. The show is popular, girls are recognized by sight, they ask for autographs, each has its own fans. However, Maria's heart is already taken: her chosen one is television producer Konstantin Zolotarev, their daughter Victoria is nine months old.
Maria is from the Khabarovsk Territory. Therefore, she admits that she spied her stage image of a “show-off girl who knows her own worth” from life. In the provinces, grateful viewers often confuse the on-screen Masha with the real one, mistaking her for their simple talker, offering to go drink beer with them ... You will only find out how far-sighted a strategist with a reinforced concrete character is at a personal meeting. I was rewarded with a firework of emotions, complete with sincere comments and accurate observations. It turned out that Maria is a clever director of her own destiny, and even under pressure she does not give up her intended goal, which, no doubt, is captivating in her.
Maria, you are a bright girl, whom you will not pass by. And, apparently, this is a hereditary trait - one of your grandmothers, a fatal lady, married for the fifth time at the age of fifty-eight!
Maria Kravchenko:“Believe me, even now, when a number of years have passed, she could well get married again. I affectionately call her a flirt. (Laughs.) Grandmother Valentina Viktorovna, my mother's mother, is one of those women who love themselves very much. Naturally, I, like any child, unconsciously read this program: how she took care of herself, did not allow herself to go to work on foot, because grandfather, Minin Ivan Alekseevich, held a managerial position, with a flexible schedule, and could take her and bring her . And when he died, my grandmother was only fifty-five years old, and she immediately said that she was not going to grow old alone. But she also buried her next husbands. Long-livers in our family are women! And she, of course, is of the old school, she herself first married at eighteen ... Therefore, when we, twenty-year-olds, recklessly played KVN together with my friend Katya Varnava, my grandmother from time to time remarked accusingly: “You are there, obviously, only two bachelors and stayed!“ To which I always answered that, firstly, I have other interests, and secondly, although my character is more similar to her than to my mother, but I’m going to get married once and on all life. (Smiling.) By the way, I can't help but mention my grandfather. This person, not native to me by blood, nevertheless, was probably the closest. My mentor and teacher, he was the most important person in my family for me. We talked on a variety of topics, learned poems together. Until now, an audio cassette has been preserved, where at the age of one and a half I recite to adults “At the seashore there is a green oak ...”. Well, in the brands of cars, and in their arrangement, he taught me to understand. I knew about the chassis, starter, pads, brake candles almost from infancy.
How was your relationship with the opposite sex?
Maria:“I was in love. Fury. Heartbreaker. They also dressed me up like a doll. I remember a nice pink coat lined with Mickey Mouse ... But it was puffy, hiding the waist, which upset me at the age of three. But in any case, the boys fought for me, and already in kindergarten I began to spin novels.
What traits did you take from your parents?
Maria:“From dad, a strict physical education teacher at school, the desire to go all the time for records. And from my mother, a technologist in the clothing industry, the ability to plan everything and a clear position in life that I must achieve everything myself and be financially independent. And I used to rely only on myself. My girlfriends tried to find a richer boyfriend so that they could replenish their wardrobe at his expense, go on vacation, that is, they cultivated such exclusively female behavior, and I, apparently, having a tough, slightly masculine disposition, got the joy of what I earn myself. I'm also a workaholic. (Smiling.) Of course, I love myself, but not the way I am, but with the desire for improvement. The process of personal growth, as they say, is necessary for me. But I also like to pamper myself - I will never refuse a trip to a beautician, a hairdresser, for new clothes. It is clear that with the advent of my daughter, a lot has changed, and I forget about my requests as soon as I am in the children's department.
When you got married and became a mother, did you give up the role of a breadwinner?
Maria:"No. Imagine, when I, pregnant, was sitting at home, it seemed humiliating to me to ask my husband for money. I stepped right on my throat in this matter - I got used to another!
Are you mercantile?
Maria:"Is it bad? I can count money, save money. Every year I have a new diary, in which the income and expenditure of funds is clearly kept. And they are considerable: today, for example, we are building a dacha, and flying abroad on vacation, I arrange grandiose shopping for myself. But at the end of the year, I always count how much I earned in a year, and draw conclusions.
Are you just as virtuoso in economic matters?
Maria:“I know how to cook, but due to lack of time I do it very rarely. Luckily we have an au pair. But I would never entrust a child to a nanny - my mother and grandmother look after Vika. And my beloved friend Katya Varnava is now my relative - godfather, because she became the godmother of our Victoria. I think that my daughter was lucky, because Ekaterina is a worthy role model, purposeful, she achieved everything herself and continues to conquer new heights. I would like my daughter to be surrounded by such people since childhood. And since Katya is also a wonderful person, sincere, kind, I can no doubt entrust my child to her. In addition, we are guaranteed free dance lessons from the best choreographer as a goddaughter.”
And how did your picture of the world change when Victoria was born?
Maria:“I found out that my mother has no days off in principle. I used to plan: now I’m preparing for filming, then the filming process itself, then a tour of five cities with many hours of flight, bus journeys, but then I’ll get enough sleep ... But now there’s no such thing! It even made me look with different eyes at our Tanya Morozova, who almost fell asleep right at the rehearsals after the birth of her child. From now on, I know what it is. In addition, Vika has a lot of all kinds of gymnastics, massages with specialists ... I am not a frivolous parent - I have already worked out all the future methods of education and training in my head. Personally, I am a failed figure skater, but I won’t let the cub out on the ice: the sport is too traumatic. I would like my daughter to play tennis. Yes, she genetically, like me, has weak hands, but muscles and punching power are developed by training ... Of course, I will not force her if she suddenly discovers other talents. But I will definitely insist on the knowledge of foreign languages.
You play great in a team, but hasn't the idea to play solo ever come up?
Maria:“I can do a lot by myself, but I get great pleasure from playing in a team. I love the energy of the Comedy Woman team (we've been together for ten years, by the way). Each of us is an integral part of a single whole, and that's great."
Initially, you chose the stage image of a kind of chav, a street girl from the outskirts of the city ... Is this the role of resistance?
Maria:“I grew up in Komsomolsk-on-Amur and am well acquainted with such girls, their manners, habits. Moreover, at the moment my image in the TNT show has changed a lot, as you probably noticed. Now I am a wife who saws her husband. And then it was my know-how, tested back in KVN on short sketches, based on the contrast of my appearance and vocabulary. It was a huge success."
But even a professional actor finds it difficult to play something very far from himself…
Maria:“That's just the essential difference between us and the artists. When an actor with a diploma is given a role, he recalls the Stanislavsky system, and the KVN members do not analyze for a long time - they instantly play. So I have great universities.”
Then it’s strange that you didn’t enter the theater, but the Institute of Steel and Alloys at the Faculty of Education, where you met Katya Varnava ...
Maria:“Of course, initially I, like any limit, was sure that one of them was unsurpassed. I saw myself in Hollywood imperishables, that's why I arrived in the capital to act as a film actress, but failed. I was not going to pay for higher education or kill several years of my life for repeated attempts. I went to a linguist-translator, as my English was at a decent level. Moreover, the university was chosen at random, it was all the same. Maybe it's for the best that everything turned out this way and I don't have a degree in acting. I had a sad stage when I played in the private performance "Wedding" with venerable dramatic actors known to viewers from numerous TV series. And there I came to the conclusion that I have nothing to learn from these masters. KVN and Comedy Woman gave me much more, where everyone on stage supports each other. And on professional stages, on the contrary, they pull the blanket over themselves, they can easily interrupt you, as if they have their own production, and you have a different one ... To be honest, I was dumbfounded. Maybe there is a different atmosphere in repertoire groups, I don’t know.”
It is believed that in any female group, one way or another, it can not do without scandals. How do you manage to be friends and work without quarrels?
Maria:“We are all from the same party, we have a lot in common. Creative disagreements happen. And if something more serious is suddenly brewing, then we, like a woman, attribute everything to hormones, PMS and forgive each other in advance. But, fortunately, all our squabbles die out in the bud, do not flare up into a fire. And yes, tastes change. At the time of KVN and Barnabas, we couldn’t stand the same Nadya Sysoeva, she seemed to us a stupid, brainless chicken. (Laughs.) And she was well aware of this - we did not hide it. But there is only one step from love to hate - now we are comfortable in the same company, in each other's company. True, sometimes I jokingly scare her: “Remember how you pissed me off?! Be afraid that this feeling will return!” (Laughs.)
What are your professional costs?
Maria:“Illness - sick backs, legs, skin spoiled by makeup and flights. On stage, we still jump like young girls, forgetting that we have husbands and children, but everyone began to feel their age, no matter how terrible it sounds. If at twenty we could easily break into a club after a concert and dance until the morning, then at thirty we are already drawn to get to a hotel room as soon as possible. Moreover, the road is rather exhausting, and not the concerts from which we get high.
Usually clowns are extremely gloomy types in real life, but you can’t say the same about the girls from Comedy Woman ...
Maria:“Yes, the girls and I tend to have funny conversations backstage as well. How many times have we been going to communicate normally, not to joke, nothing happens. (Smiling.)".
I noticed. When asked about family reunification, you even answered one publication that five years ago all your relatives came to Moscow: mom, dad, grandmother and dog ...
Maria: “Well, how could I separate the dog from my relatives ?! This year our pinscher Gavryusha turns sixteen years old. He is old, with cataracts in both eyes, and we adore him, he has long been a beloved member of the family. In general, I am an experienced dog lover, but I prefer miniature breeds, with which it is not necessary to walk every day even in bad weather.
You graduated from a music school, dreamed of becoming a singer, and as a kind of hello from those years, now you sing in the Love Supermarket group as part of the show ...
Maria:“As a child, I really dreamed of singing like Sofia Rotaru. I was directly torn between music and sports, because it would also be nice to become a titled figure skater. (Smiling.) But in the end, the music won. Today, this is how I realize my abilities. But I don't plan to sing like a vocalist. What is commercially successful in our country is not close to me at all.”
So far, only the movie "Women against Men" has been on your account. Are you considering participating in another feature film, series for yourself?
Maria:"Why not? I'm a fan of soap operas like Wild Angel, Clone, Roads of India. But I am attracted to borderline states - I want to play an alcoholic, a drug addict, a psychopath in modern conditions, something that is alien and incomprehensible to me. Unfortunately, there are very few decent scenarios. For example, recently they called me to the detective, where I was supposed to play the investigator. Already in the very first scene I am sitting with my male colleagues in the bathhouse. Where does this fit?!”
Your mother sewed hats, your grandmothers probably embroidered, knitted ... Is such quiet needlework not close to you?
Maria:“I am too motor for such a painstaking task. I'd rather listen to music. (Smiles.) But nevertheless, my grandmother taught me how to embroider napkins, shirts and tablecloths - my father's mother, Maria Akimovna, after whom I was named. This, too, by the way, was a unique lady. I even got the idea to write a script and shoot a film about her life, full of extraordinary events. She comes from a poor family, went through insane trials, and during the Great Patriotic War she ran away from the Germans three times. Cramped in living conditions, she raised three children alone. And by some miracle, having no connections, only having a powerful pressure, she achieved a reception from Khrushchev. I talked to him in his office, after which she was greeted in her homeland, in Western Ukraine, as a heroine, with an orchestra, a car, and they immediately allocated a new apartment.
Are you also ready to fight for your own, not expecting miracles?
Maria:“Undoubtedly. Otherwise, I would not have moved from Komsomolsk-on-Amur like a nugget - I would have waited to be dug up.
You have a golden crown-pendant around your neck, it is very symbolic… Is it a gift?
Maria:"Husband crowned." (Smiling.)
Konstantin Zolotarev - producer. So you have an office romance?
Maria:“Exactly, without departing from production. The husband is also from KVN. True, he remembers me there, but I do not. Perhaps the reason for this is the age difference - nine years, these are different generations of kaveenshchikov. My husband's team for me is practically grandfathers. And we met Kostya at work. The only thing is, he scared me more than pleasantly attracted attention. He gave the impression of a too serious, reserved, concentrated person. And I thought he was probably evil. (Smiling.) But Kostya dispelled my fears. It so happened that we are together. Although even now I make comments to him, I ask you not to wrinkle your forehead, not to look so tense. Do you know what the paradox is? I often told my mother that I would not marry a man like my father, who is quick-tempered, stubborn, and sometimes can shout. I wanted to be the leader of the family. And only years later I guessed that my mother was a leader, but diplomatic. She was always so calm and reserved. So, surprisingly, my Konstantin, like my dad, like me, is Capricorn by the sign of the Zodiac. He is also a physical education teacher, like my father, and he is also quick-tempered, stubborn and sometimes speaks in raised tones. It turns out that I chose a copy of my parent - that's how I was lucky! Never say never!".

Apparently, you and your husband are also similar ...
Maria:“We, two stubborn Capricorns, daily stubbornly overcome our obstacles. But we make plans thoroughly, and he also writes everything down, like me. And in stores, I diligently save him money, discouraging him from buying the twentieth jacket in a row, on which he had his eye. We do not live boringly, but because we love each other, we readily make compromises.
But at the same time, your pragmatist is not without romanticism. He proposed marriage to you in Cuba, unexpectedly appearing in a hotel room with a ring and a bouquet of flowers. Tell interesting details.
Maria:“Kostya decided to surprise me, and he gave it to him with a fight. The plane flew to the island not for eighteen hours, as it should be, but for all thirty, since it made an emergency landing in another place. Despite the extreme conditions, Kostya continued on his way. And at that time, after a long shift, being tired, at the fifth month of pregnancy, I fell asleep already in the morning. And then I was awakened by a knock on the door. I, sure that this is the shameless maid Conchita, open it with a fierce look, disheveled after sleep, in a dressing gown, somehow thrown over, and I see a kneeling beloved in the corridor with a bouquet of roses and a ring. I cried, and more because my script was completely different. I definitely looked like a witch, and in my dreams I painted myself beautiful at such a romantic moment, which made me sad. But the answer was positive. In the future, we will definitely arrange a holiday for ourselves, play a noisy wedding, always with the Hands Up group, because it was to their songs that I danced at home, at the local disco. Now Sergey Zhukov and I are friends, and he promised not to miss our celebration.”
How do you see your future? Do you think the show should go on forever?
Maria:“No, I am a realist, and when the time comes to move on to a new round, I will open my own business. There are even some ideas already, such original “purple cows”, as it is written in a marketing book that I am currently studying, but I will not share them with you. I will also plunge into a new business with my head, because if you want to succeed, not to burn out, you need to control everything yourself from and to, without being distracted by anything else.
