Irina Grineva was born on February 6, 1973 in Kazan in the family of an actress who abandoned her acting career in favor of her family. It is to her that Irina owes her talent and wonderful sense of style. After her parents’ divorce, the girl and her mother settled with her grandmother, who spoiled her beloved granddaughter.
We lived together for only five years, then my mother took me by train to another life. I remember how dad ran after the train, and I cried. I was daddy’s girl. And in five years I learned well what a father and a real man should be, and what it means to be loved. I couldn’t call anyone else dad. Those who had a bad father usually do not believe in God. Or God is very bad for them. The Father is a projection of God. For me, the word father is love. Thank you for this. I’ve always been your little girl. I read your letters. I love.
While still a schoolgirl, the future star was interested in theater, participating in productions, and at the age of ten she was selected for the Vaganova Ballet School in Leningrad.

For me, this story is about what the life of a person who cannot find the strength to accept his love and pushes her away can turn into.
Blanche Dubois played today. I love and am afraid of this performance. I’m afraid, because it’s a difficult performance, 4 hours long, requiring remarkable strength. I love it because it’s Tennessee Williams. And the role of Blanche in the acting female destiny is Hamlet. It has everything. The whole palette of feelings. And most importantly, this performance is without director’s interpretations. What happiness this is! It’s so important for great plays to be left alone. In order to interpret, you first need to reach the level of the playwright and understand what he wanted to say. Yegor Ravinsky researched the text so carefully, observing the stage directions, that even the scenery was built at the suggestion of the author himself. Open the text and develop everything down to the smallest detail. We were just learning notes. This is great directorial courage. Since the author has set a very high bar, good actors and serious work are needed. And it’s a big journey. The most true thing. Which gives life to characters for a long time. And it’s always a live performance. Spectators who watch the performance 10 times can confirm that it is always something different, not repeated.

I wasn’t afraid of death before. And now I want to live a long time. Very often I wonder why this or that, if most of all I want to take a walk with my daughter in the park.
