Elina Bystritskaya died: the last interview of Bystritskaya read

The star of “Quiet Don” passed away in the intensive care unit of a Moscow hospital after a serious and long illness. On April 4, Elina Bystritskaya turned 91. A year ago, the artist told us about her beauty secrets: the star always looked luxurious.

It is important to track in what mood you go to bed.

You need to eat less, even if it’s very tasty

And be smart about life. We need to act in the chosen direction in full force, but remember that no matter how hard we try, we are not subject to everything. And if it’s beyond your control, you don’t need to kill yourself! After all, in fact, everything is for the best, even if we think otherwise. The bruises under the eyes can be hidden under a layer of foundation, but looking cheerful is more difficult.

All the qualities of the human person are reflected in one way or another in appearance. Especially in women. I don’t remember who said, but it’s definitely someone smart: “You can pretend to be kind, cheerful, you can even pretend to be smart, if you are silent. It is impossible to pretend to be an intellectual. ” I totally agree with this. Intelligence is involvement in life, participation in it. Necessarily with a positive sign.

Too much is now put into the word “beauty”

– If your life is filled with interesting content, if you do not betray yourself for the sake of momentary profit, if you do not allow yourself peace where anxiety is needed, then you are always young and beautiful. Although in fact, believe me, this is not the most important thing in life. Even in a woman’s life. Although, I do not argue, with all other things being equal, this does not interfere. But I would have played Aksinya (a beautiful Cossack woman in the film Quiet Flows the Don – Approx. Antenna), even if I looked completely different. External beauty is possible without internal beauty. But this applies more to objects than to people. And a person without inner beauty is not a person, even if the waist, eyes, legs meet all criteria and standards. After all, we feel, perceive the world, react. We learn from someone or teach ourselves whether we love someone or not. It is important to be surrounded by people you love and believe.

My first idol was my mother

She had a difficult fate: war, loss of loved ones. She was soft in nature, conflict-free, kind. But my mother had the courage to be not only wise, but also courageous. Later, my older colleagues-actresses in the theater became my idols. I will not name, I’m afraid to miss someone. I once had the opportunity to communicate with the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The meeting took place at her house, and I was introduced to her as a movie star. And although we have completely different spheres of activity, she is close to me in character. I did not see the iron lady, as she was called. It even seemed to me that she was too kind. And also in common – we both kept ourselves in shape.
