After the divorce: Anna Grachevskaya’s new apartment

“With Antenna I went through almost all stages of my family life,” says Anna. – You were the first to know about my marriage, pregnancy, divorce, and now about the housewarming. To this apartment in the Tsaritsyno area, which my ex-husband, the director of Yeralash, bought me after the divorce Boris Grachevsky, my mother and daughter and I moved in two weeks ago.

Boris left himself a wonderful apartment in the center of Moscow and a country house, which, by the way, he loudly gave me on my 25th birthday. While redevelopment and repairs were going on in our new home, we lived in our former common, and now the personal apartment of our ex-husband. And although Boris had a place to live in anticipation of our move, he was always under the same roof with us. The intensity of passions sometimes reached such a point that he threatened to cut in new locks so that we could leave as soon as possible.

And we were delayed due to the fact that some force majeure circumstances constantly arose: then the floor in our new apartment swelled, since the filter was poorly installed, a pipe was knocked out of it and the apartment was flooded (well, we also have the first floor and neighbors did not suffer!), then some other problems arose.

During the renovation, I did everything – and what kind of cement is needed, and how many meters of wallpaper to take and what kind of furniture to choose. The head just exploded. Of course, I would not have coped without my mother, she always helped. But now I am such a great specialist! I can take excursions to furniture stores, I know in which warehouse and in which row what is, where is what is cheaper to buy.

According to the court, I was allocated a certain amount of money for the purchase and arrangement of an apartment. Naturally, these funds were not enough for me, because I had to buy everything, including cups and spoons. Our contract even stated that I take the microwave and some other things. I don’t remember if there was a vacuum cleaner on that list, but I took it because I had absolutely no money left to buy household appliances. I decided that Boris Grachevsky would not become poorer, because at his dacha he had two more vacuum cleaners. But there was a terrible hysteria! “You stole the vacuum cleaner! How will I live without a vacuum cleaner ?! ” – with these words my ex-husband accompanied me. So we left, as in Yeralash, shouting “Bring back the vacuum cleaner!”, With laughter, jokes, jokes. And most importantly, with a light heart and conscience. “

“But when we moved, I had a feeling of incredible euphoria. I still cannot believe that the hell that has lasted for the last year is over. Initially, having decided to divorce, we agreed not to comment on anything, and I kept silent for a long time, which in the end did not work in my favor. Thanks to Katya Gordon and her company Saferoom, who supported me and convinced me that I should not be silent, but I should fight back. And now, living separately from my ex-husband, I feel incredible relief. Now I can live in peace and be engaged in the work and education of Vasilisa.

I feel very comfortable in the new apartment, unlike the one where I lived with Boris for about five years. I perceived that place as a transit point, there was neither my room, nor a bedroom, an absolutely male dwelling. Here is our female kingdom, as I call it – the abode.

For the nursery, I allocated to Vasilisa the largest, lightest and warmest room. Her favorite color is blue, but I diluted it with pink to nurture both masculine and feminine character at the same time. At first I wanted to equip a room for growth, for an older child, but then I decided that I would have time to redo it, let my daughter live like a princess, in bright colors, with a sense of celebration. Vasilisa is very independent with us, she sleeps in the room alone and does not even like someone to be around at this time.

And my mother’s room is very feminine, in deep yellow-beige tones. So I wanted to convey my mother’s wisdom and maturity. And indeed, in this room you want to read books, gain mind-reason.

My room serves as both a bedroom and a living room. It is decorated in my favorite colors – white, red, black. At first I was worried about the red curtains, I was afraid that they would weigh everything down. But because of the light wallpaper, the room turned out to be spacious and positive. It was also important for me that everything would fit in the apartment. After all, there are quite a lot of things, there are three of us. It seems that they have coped with this task. There are many things in the room that are iconic for me. Here is a robe with a personalized embroidery on the back “Caution, Anna Grachevskaya” (this is the name of my program on the Yumor TV channel). It was presented by fans. We also have a parrot named Nene. When Vasilisa was one year old, I decided that the child must have some kind of pet and bought a parrot. We thought for a long time what to call it. Vasilisa named the bird herself: “Nene”.

It’s summer now, and thank God I can take a break. Take a break from the repair, collect your thoughts before work. Our program is still on vacation, and new broadcasts will begin in September. We are preparing another talk show with my participation on the same channel, the premiere will take place in the fall ”.

“At first, we wanted to limit and strictly define the time of communication between Boris and his daughter, but I said:“ There is no need to limit anything. Let everything be as he wishes. When he wants to communicate – please, I will not interfere. I really want him, like a father, to contribute to the upbringing of Vasilisa. But one gets the impression that Boris believes that the alimony sent to him covers all possible material and moral needs of the child. Recently, for example, I spoke with him that it would be nice for us to take Vasilisa out to the sea in the summer and pay for the trip in half. But she did not receive a positive answer. It’s a shame that the ex-husband has enough finances to make films, buy cars, but not enough to send the child to rest. Boris everywhere declares that he spent a lot on the purchase of this apartment, but after all, he was obliged by a marriage agreement to provide housing for the child and his mother. At the same time, let me remind you, he left himself a wonderful apartment in the center of Moscow and a country house, and bought us a modest apartment in Tsaritsyno.

Now Boris can come and meet with his daughter at any time. But so far this has happened only once. He wanted to see Vasilisa in the house, but I immediately said: “I don’t want him to enter our new apartment, let him talk to his daughter in neutral territory or at his place”. He did not take Vasya anywhere, he took a walk with her in the yard. And at this time, my mother and I, like meerkats, kept looking out the window: how were they there, did Vasya fall, was he crying? Dad was alone with her for the first time in two years of the child’s life. Of course we were worried. Well, nothing, let Boris learn, get used to it, you see, something will change. In the meantime, my mother remains in charge of Vasilisa. When I work, she helps as much as possible. My mother is a teacher by education, so I was doubly lucky. We have no nannies and never will.

Like any mother, I, of course, admire my child, I think that he is the most wonderful in the world – smart, curious, an adult beyond his years. Vasya loves to dance: as soon as he hears music, he immediately begins to dance. She loves to watch me on TV, however, she takes almost all dark girls of the oriental type for her mother. The daughter is insanely clean, this is apparently from her grandmother: God forbid, what kind of cocoa will be next to her, she needs to clean up everything and wipe her hands immediately after the sandbox. And no matter how our relationship with Boris develops now, I am grateful to him that I have this miracle – the daughter of Vasilisa! “
