I decided to give acting a serious, committed try, and soon after, I read the script for 'Lovely and Amazing.' The story was beautiful and honest, and the characters struggled with the same insecurities many women - including me - face. I didn't think I had a chance in hell of being in the film, but I knew I had to go for it. ↗

Politics is traditionally a male domain in Russia. Until now, women have only been accessories. Now, female protest groups are emerging - not because men came up with the idea, but through their own efforts. That's something new for Russia. ↗

Once women are not excluded, I don't think any of us will give a damn what pronouns are used. That wasn't the point. ↗

To come to a concert and hear a lot of songs from a female perspective should not make men say, 'Oh well, that's for women'. ↗
