Family without architectural extravagances.
Family without architectural extravagances.
MARGARITA OZEROV.
At the main architect of Moscow Alexander Kuzmin the family
Backs are strong, as the reservation of the Russian tanks. Its second wife,
Natasha, with which they together four years, - the skilled worker on all hands:
Sews, knits, goes for a drive on a water ski, sings, of the husband cares.
So the liked city can sleep easy: for it
The architectural shape responds in all senses the safe
The person.
With the main architect of Moscow Alexander Kuzmin and it
Wife Natalia Grigorevoj we have met on Turkish coast
Mediterranean sea. For eternally occupied Kuzmin holiday - rare
Possibility to stay with the one-year-old son, and for Natasha - chance
To sleep and be disconnected from household chores.
Having languished after a beach, massage, a Turkish bath and an easy lunch,
We have started conversation on a life.
Alexander Kuzmin: We with Natasha together only four years, and
Such sensation, that for a long time. Probably, because to us together very much
Comfortably.
On one banquet Vladimir Resin, the first deputy the chairman
The governments of Moscow, the toast for wives of those people, which has said
Work in Luzhkov's command. Muzhiks stick on fourteen
Hours a day, without days off. Can present, what them
To families! Now I know, what women were meant by Resin. Natasha
Understands specificity of my job and tries to release as much as possible
From house affairs.
Natalia Grigoriev: Friends are perplexed, why I consider Sashu
House and economic: time at it just barely enough. But at me
The representation about distribution of duties in a family. The man
Should not wash ware and clean apartment. It I can also. And here
Financially to provide a family - man's business. Eventually, not
So it is important, who will hammer into a wall in a nail - the husband or the person, which
It has employed.
Sasha me constantly thanks, that I have liberated its time. At
The husband, for example, there was a possibility to draw in the evenings. It to
The end does not believe this happiness and when sits down a table, for some reason
Asks me permissions.
Margarita Ozerov: Probably, it any more one your portrait
Has written...
N.G.: four. In one picture I as the Aphrodite - leave from
Sea foam. On another - the exemplary waitress in fartuchke -
I submit beer. On the third - in a black evening dress with long
Pearls thread. Still it has a triptych "My women in Paris".
Women is oldest daughter Sasha, sister Anja and I.
M. O: Natasha, you after all with the husband of the colleague. At you was office
The novel?
N.G.: Sasha is on friendly terms with Vladimir Chernyshenko. Once it was
The chief of department in management of the state control of protection and
Uses of monuments of history and culture of Moscow, and I worked
There the leading architect. I always involuntarily allocated Sashu among
Other our visitors.
Somehow it has come into reception day. Set of people, vanity,
Haste, nerves on a limit. Sasha about something me has asked, and I, thinking
About the, has accepted it for someone from customers and has muttered in the answer
Something rather official. But has then approached, has apologised, and we in
First time have a little talked.
In some months, on February, 9th, when in the Palace of congresses
Celebrated day of the builder, we have faced again. I was typed
Boldness also has asked to acquaint the general friend us. From the Kremlin
We left together. It was necessary to undertake urgently something, that we
Have not said goodbye and have dispersed every which way. By the way, Sasha
Later to me admitted, that itself of it has thought, but I have outstripped it:
Has suggested to walk on the Aleksandrovsky garden. The frost was
Degrees twenty.
Then he began me to call, often and persistently. I thought, that
Such happens only at cinema.
Once after job I went home with the loaded bags and
Suddenly - Sasha with a huge bouquet of tea roses. These roses at me in
To vase even have given backs, and I have planted them in a garden at mum in
Dubrovitsah.
At that time I was free and active - went to theatres, on
Exhibitions, on presentations, house phone called continuously. To the Sachet
Has first concerned with some mistrust. But it it is extreme
Hotly penetrated into all my problems. For example, four times a week
I drove daughter Nastju on a choreography - Sasha came there and
Patiently waited, when I will take away a daughter from employment.
And though existed much "but": at Sashi there was a family, at me -
Psychological trauma after first marriage, - our feelings krepli
Day by day, and eventually we have got married.
M. O: As there were Alexander Viktorovicha's relations with yours
Daughter?
N.G.: they perfectly get on, that for me it is very important. Looking on
Sashu, Nastja has become interested in history and the literature and has affirmed
In the decision to become the architect.
M. O: And than daughter Alexander Viktorovicha from the first is engaged
Marriage?
Alexander Kuzmin: Studies on the fifth year Architectural
Institute and simultaneously works - professionally makes out
Cafe and shops. It and my pride.
M. O: Natasha, and in your family there were architects?
N.G.: no. We lived in settlement Dubrovitsy near Podolsk. Mum at
Me the typist, the daddy worked at factory. In a family was four
Children - I mladshenkaja. But parents always dreamt to give to us
Good education - as a result all of us have ended high schools.
I have chosen Architectural institute. To high school I never
Drew. It was necessary to go on preliminary courses on drawing. I
Stayed on courses all the day long, three changes - though to go it is necessary
Was on one. As a result has handed over drawing from the first. With physics,
Problems were not mathematics and the composition too. And here on plotting
I have failed. It strongly differed from a school course. Year I
Has worked for the daddy at factory chertezhnitsej and from second time
Has entered the institute.
M. O: And in Moscow there are the buildings constructed under your projects?
N.G.: no. But I supervised restoration and reconstruction of buildings
Around Sretenka and Color parkway, prepared
The istoriko-architectural documentation. Even now, when I in
The decree, the former customers call: "Natalia Nikolaevna, as without
You it is heavy! ".
M. O: When the son will grow up, will return on job?
N.G.: yet I do not know. It is final, quite good to work three days in a week
Hour on four - for creative self-realisation but that it is not strong
To get tired. But Sasha against I came to work. To it
It is pleasant to come back in the warm, cosy house where it is waited by the liking
The wife. Frankly speaking, I and houses do not miss - I sew, I knit. And
The child demands my constant presence. But on job all
Equally pulls.
M. O: And career of the husband watch?
N.G.: certainly, even interview it I collect.
Sasha was responsible for preparation of objects for the 850 anniversary of Moscow, for
Temple of the Christ of the Savior, Luzniki, MKAD. Now is engaged to Drawing rooms
Court yard, "the third ring", more shortly, the most important objects.
Alexander Kuzmin: I am connected, when there is a concrete
The government order. Architecture - collective
Creativity. My business - to collect the good command and to organise
Job. And to attribute the surname as the project head I
For what I will not be it it is unethical.
M. O: Natasha how you have accepted in Alexander Viktorovicha's family?
N.G.: well. His mother Antonina Alekseevna - very active
The woman, it the optimist at heart, likes a life. Always elegantly
Looks. The father, Victor Aleksandrovich, the retired military seaman.
Our son Daniel character all in it.
M. O: Where there lives the main architect of Moscow?
N.G.: recently we have entered a housing co-operative in New
CHeremushkah: after a birth of the son in former our two-room
It became close. Now it is on the sly equipped new habitation.
M. O: Who is engaged in design?
N.G.: all together. We do not try to sustain any one
Style. We believe, that simply all things should be
Functional and to take the place. At us, for example, costs
The Spanish sofa with ornamental pillows, fixtures in style
ar deko. And most our liked place of the house - library in
English style.
The main thing - to keep within the budget. Sasha I allocate money, and
I co-ordinate expenditure.
M. O: Concerning style in clothes the husband gives to your advice?
N.G.: I have got used to classical style, and Sasha likes
A variety. I somehow have offered it: "you Wish to diversify mine
Clothes - buy to me things itself ". And at it it is excellent
It turns out. Recently, for example, has brought from Germany the hunting
Suit which very much to me goes. Sasha represents me in
Absolutely other images, than in what I of see.
M. O: whether There is at you a hobby?
N.G.: I like to sing, especially when relatives are going to. I
After all in a youth has ended musical school. Separate passion -
Dances. Went in for sports - all-round, run on short earlier
Distances. At me the first category on volleyball and run. Now
Simply I go to a sports hall, I support the form. Here, in hotel,
For example, nobody believes, that at me shestnadtsatiletnjaja a daughter. I with
Nastej on the same level and from a trapeze I jump, and on a water ski I go for a drive. But
Above all I like simply to lay on a beach and to be heated on
The sun.
M. O: the Husband divides your sports hobbies?
N.G.: no. It the unsportsmanlike person, conducts a "settled" image
Lives. Sasha likes to collect - collects stamps, medals. With
The childhood is interested in history. Recently began to collect the tin
Tell-tales. - the Marshal of the Pear - I have bought the first tell-tale to it in
Louvre shop. And now at us in apartment two cases of tell-tales.
M. O: What, in your professional opinion, the ideal house
For a family?
Alexander Kuzmin: Architects joke: an ideal case, when
At you a beautiful interior, and at the neighbour opposite - a beautiful facade.
But generally the house should be constructed so that you did not think about
Conceptual izyskah the architect, and simply felt
Cosy. With Natasha it is possible to us...
N.G.:... Because the most important thing is our love, and on
The rest we do not pay attention.
