After the unveiling of a memorial plaque in memory of Lyudmila Markovna Gurchenko in her house in Trekhprudny Lane, her husband Sergei Senin invited the journalists to the actress’s apartment, full of relics: antique furniture, porcelain, portraits of the actress, paintings in old frames, jewelry, more than 800 outfits alone. Two hundred of them are made by the hands of Gurchenko herself, which makes them unique.
She sewed with ordinary thread and needles, not recognizing the sewing machine. She reshaped the outfits of recognized brands to her taste. For example, Roberto Cavalli’s luxurious dress was so altered in her author’s style that it was no longer from Cavalli, but from Gurchenko. A pin cushion with needles, pins, threads hangs in the bathroom in the most conspicuous place to always be at hand.

Gurchenko adored her pink bathroom, which she filled with her beloved angels who accompanied her through life. Angels are a symbol used in the interior of the house, there are a huge number of them in it, but most of all in the bathroom and bedroom.
Lyudmila Markovna’s favorite room in the house, according to her husband, was the bedroom: “Lying on the sofa is her favorite pastime when she had time to rest. When Lucy was resting, she came up with her roles and images, mentally wrote books. I tried not to spill myself in vain. I did not exhaust myself with gymnastics and physical exercises, but at the same time, from the 10th grade, I was always in the same weight, about 50 kilograms. Therefore, the size of her dresses did not change. I really want to keep the peace in Lyusin’s house, the atmosphere of her presence and handicrafts, because she invented and did almost everything herself. Upholstery of furniture, wardrobes, sewing curtains, making jewelry – all this is Lucina’s fantasy and imagination. “
