The Neftyanik cultural center in Tyumen is the house of culture of my childhood. There I studied in a vocal and instrumental ensemble, my mother worked there, and now it is a completely different building. I lived on Energetikov Street, this is the KPD quarter, I studied at school No. 16. I remember the park in front of the school, which we regularly cleaned on all cleanup days. You know, we all had wonderful teachers. Director Valentina Mikhailovna Slepova, thank God, is still alive. “I always remember with great warmth,” admitted Tatyana Abramova.

When guests gathered at home, I always organized a concert for them. Perhaps her love for music was passed on to her from her father and uncle, who played the guitar well. And then in the life of little Tanya an art school happened, where she was sent to three preparatory departments at once - ballet, music, art. She didn't get along with drawing right away, but she liked ballet and playing the piano. True, after a while I had to give up dancing in pointe shoes. But the music and song did not disappear - I was the head of various public organizations: the pioneer, the school council. Naturally, I always organized all school events and evenings.

A crazy youth and a favorite film debut, after graduating from university she was invited to the Moscow Shchepkin Theater Institute. , but the capricious girl rejected this offer. She dreamed of St. Petersburg and really wanted to enter LGITMiK (Leningrad State Institute of Theatre, Music and Cinematography), but according to the results of the entrance tests, she only lacked one point. The girl was not used to giving up and entered the St. Petersburg Humanitarian University of Trade Unions. During student years, there are no difficulties at all. When you are young, cheerful, strong, you have the whole world and your whole life ahead of you - there are no difficulties, there is one big adventure. I never lived in a dorm (since college - ed.), but I know that they were the same everywhere. As the country lived, so we lived. There was nothing to eat or wear, but people still studied, worked, dreamed,” the actress says nostalgically. In 1992, Tatyana Abramova became a participant in the television program “Morning Star”.

At the same time, she tried to enter the world of cinema and one day received an incredible gift from fate. Director Vitaly Solomokhin saw a photograph of a girl called “Red-Haired Miracle” in a newspaper and realized: this is exactly the kind of actress his film needs.

Of course I looked [на опытных коллег по фильму], absorbed everything like a sponge. Of course, these shoots are my universities.

There are probably no projects that would be interesting to me. The structure of all filming has changed slightly. Cinema has become a producer's film and has little to do with creativity.
