The general director of factory "Autodevice". The Deputy director
The Vladimiro-Suzdal memorial estate can brag
Acquaintance to the former ambassador of the USA in Russia Metlokom, the ex-secretary general
NATO Solana and not one ten domestic celebrities.
Natalia Shiryaev: Svetlana, you were born on Sakhalin. And as
Have appeared in Vladimir?
Svetlana Melnikova: In Vladimir I lived the grandmother and the aunt,
Alisa Ivanovna, the director of Memorial estate. Mum, reading letters
Grandmothers with stories about in what country once again
The aunt has visited, each mother repeated a phrase, which, probably,
Speaks to the child:
"Svetlana, learn language, in a life it is useful!" English to me
It liked and given easily. I have arrived in Vladimir and have entered
Teacher's college on faculty of foreign languages.
N.SH.: and to a museum as have got?
S.M.: on the first course began to earn additionally here vneshtatno.
It was madly interesting, and after institute me took in staff
The ordinary employee.
N.SH.: and to the ordinary employee trusted honoured guests -
The well-known foreigners and our big officials?
S.M.: such clients - the big responsibility: God forbid,
Something not that you will tell or you will make, troubles not
You will be gathered. Therefore methodologists put me on this front of jobs:
Say, if that, with me understands Alisa Ivanovna. And
My aunt very strictly understood.
N.SH.: who was the very first, your, so to say, fighting
Christening?
S.M.: Boris Pastuhov, the secretary of Central Committee VLKSM. Probably, I have made
Favorable impression: next day me have called in obkom
Komsomol also have offered job in the international committee of the youth
The organisations. I have come on interview in jeans and without
Komsomol badge also remained without a post. But not
Was upset - not to go all life in a black suit with
Badge. It would be desirable to put on and be engaged beautifully in that
It is pleasant.
N.SH.: you did not recognise as unreliable?
S.M.: strangely enough, no. Besides, threw, as on
Embrasure, on the honoured guests. For example, when I was in
Maternity leave, me have urgently called on job: waited
American ambassador Rupperta Metloka, nobody wanted with it
To work, were afraid of responsibility. I have agreed at once. It
The person surprising, knew some languages and possessed
Phenomenal memory. Metlok has arrived a year later and after
Excursions has invited me with son Peter (and to it there were no also three
Years) in restaurant.
When have brought the menu, Metlok, addressing to Petke, has told:
"Please, choose, that you wish to reserve". Petka was
It is shaken, it was a lesson to it for all life.
N.SH.: and long you were the "ordinary" employee?
S.M.: twenty years. Only in 1998, in day of visit of the secretary general
Solana's NATO Havera, to me have suggested to become at once the assistant
Directors of a museum.
N.SH.: tell, as the amusing case is connected with Solana?
S.M.: we have gone on jeeps and minibuses to the Cover temple
The virgin on nerli. The road passes In one place under
Railroad tracks: on height there could pass only
"Zhigulis". While protection and accompanying persons discussed what to do
Further, I have told to Mr. Solana, that we have a tradition: from it
Places to a temple all go on foot, original pilgrimage. It
At once has agreed. Protection has thought suddenly, when we already practically
Have passed out of sight.
N.SH.: how on your horizon there was Alexey Melnikov?
Alexey Melnikov: For the first time I have seen Svetlana in 1980.
Three my friends, people already married, independently from each other
Have shown me it from apart with the requirement "to pay attention and
To attach significance ". But I then" have not turned "and" have not given ".
We have met with Svetoj in two years, on May, 19th. Every year at
Them in a museum passed kapustnik. The big company on one
Invitation we have filtered into a hall. The program us very much
Has carried away.
S.M.: still, after all I on it kapustnike danced "cancan":
Men speak about a shower, and look at feet. Behind side scenes us the friend
To the friend have presented, and since then we did not leave. In February
Next year have celebrated a wedding, and in nine months has appeared
Petja.
N.SH.: the elder son - Peter, younger - Paul. It is accident?
S.M.: already then we have looked in the calendar and have understood, that have named
Children in honour of those sacred in which day they were born -
Surprising and, probably, not casual coincidence.
N.SH.: your husband was the beginning businessman, and you is constant on
To job. And how children?
S.M.: as at all young parents. When I was on
Excursions, Alexey took Petju with itself on meetings and meetings.
Left it in any office, and then under different
Pretexts left to check. Certainly, helped much
Parents.
N.SH.: outwardly Peter and Paul absolutely different. And on character?
S.M.: and on character the different. Petja collected, accurate,
The frank. We with it of "girl-friend", he understands me from a half-word.
It very hard grew, has passed practically through all illnesses. Were and
Resuscitations, and droppers.
And Pavlik dews safely. He both ate everything, and slept on nine
Hours, so it was necessary to clamp to it a nouse to insert
Small bottle with milk. Since small years it tried to keep step with the big brother and
Tried to look more adult.
I remember such case. We went in the car, and three-year Paul
Badly itself conducted. The daddy has threatened, that will land it from the car. The pasha
Has not believed. But at us the daddy if has told, will make. Alexey
Has stopped the car, has put the son on snow brustver and has told:
"If you will not apologise, we here will leave you". Paul has ruffled up, but
To apologise did not become. We have sat down in the car, have slowly gone forward, and
On brustvere there was a three-year child. I fastened from the last
Forces: against the father it is impossible to go, especially in the presence of the senior
The son. I hardly have not descended from mind. Then were, of course, developed and
Have taken away it, but it has apologised only in the evening during time
"Studies".
N.SH.: and among themselves boys get on?
S.M.: the friend for the friend to stand always are ready. Somehow the grandmother with
Them went in the bus, at a stop it with Petej has descended, and before
Pashkoj doors were closed. Petka has rushed on the bus and banged it
Until the driver has not opened a door and has not let out the brother.
N.SH.: judging by an activity sort, yours with the spouse
Professional ways should not be crossed. But employees
Alexey say, that in its successes the big share belongs to you.
What means?
S.M.: probably, that in due time I had to carry out
At Alexey of a duty of the translator. Agree, would be
Strange to employ the foreign professional and to pay to it, when
Near by there is an own. When Alexey became solid
The businessman, we appeared together in delegations from area,
Which went abroad.
N.SH.: and how with the husband to go in business trips?
S.M.: we were in Italy, it on an industrial line, I - on
Cultural, and us in hotel have lodged in different rooms. And at us on
Two one suitcase, though at Alexey number on the second floor, at me
- On the fourth. How much we asked to lodge us together, in
What: to everyone single "lux", and all here is put. Moreover this
The suitcase has been closed on a coded lock, and the house code has secretly changed
Petja. We have arrived in warm things, and in Rome heat.
We call home Pete, he sobs, because has forgotten a code. It is necessary
To give due to the husband: it has opened the lock, and I have received the easy
Sundress.
N.SH.: speak, you go to have a rest only all family?
S.M.: if I one, at me arise feeling of discomfort. I not
I understand people who do not like to have a rest with children.
N.SH.: you have any settled routes?
S.M.: no. We live by a principle, that the life is short enough
Also there is a danger something not to see. We one of the first have visited
As tourists (instead of dealers) in Arab Emirates, Bahrain and
Other countries.
We try to travel on yet not blazed tracks.
N.SH.: and in Russia you have a liked place?
S.M.: my soul "lives" in our Suzdal house, all free
Time we try to spend there. First we there lived constantly, in
Vladimir came on job is nearby, about thirty
Kilometres. But when sons have grown up and became more time
To spend at school, we have lodged in Vladimir. And in Suzdal "on
postoe "our numerous friends stay, we from them take
Original payment: they are obliged to make together with owners
The pedestrian walks on an ancient city.
N.SH.: Svetlana, at the deputy director of a museum is planned
Each minute. Where take time that at the enterprise of yours
The spouse name "planting of a cult of a family"?
S.M.: I am convinced, that for any person the family is primary: from
Climate in a family everything depends in his life, including job. At
Alexey on "Autodevice" we arrange New Year's balls, on
Which all should be with "second half" - without them
The input is prohibited. The original family club, in which has turned out
Atmosphere of the big amicable family is felt.
N.SH.: the spouse of the man of means does not have desire to leave
Job and to devote itself to exclusively house?
S.M.: when the elder son left school, I ten months not
Worked. I at all do not regret about it, but have understood: a museum,
Excursions is my life and I will not throw job never, I can not
To present itself the wife of "new Russian". Alexey does not insist,
That I have left job: when it is interesting to me, too it is interesting to it.
A.M.: Svetlana has every day something interesting, and
She to us tells about it. Unless I, as the reasonable egoist, can
To lose such pleasure? It the perfect story-teller, to
To the same at it also a sharp uvula.
N.SH.: on which many get... Speak, from you has got
In due time and to public prosecutor Victor Iljushenko?
S.M.: it has arrived on office needs for Vladimir, me
Have urgently called from the house to show it a city. I to steam of hours waited,
While the public prosecutor will desire to have a dinner with our "bosses", and when
They began to take seats on cars, all tried to climb in
Limousine Iljushenko. I have told: "Mister Iljushenko, I not eserka
Kaplan to shoot at you I am not going to. If you want though
Something to learn about a city, I will sit down in your car. Is not present - to
Appointments ". The place there and then was.
N.SH.: yes, has carried to Alexey with the spouse, from it anywhere
You will be gone.
S.M.: luck at us mutual. I somewhere read, that in marriage it is necessary
To leave for the person to whom it is interesting to talk. To me with
Alexey interestingly always.
