Of all the Soviet stars, only she twice performed solo concerts in the UN conference room. In 1995 she received the title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation.
Old Believers family
Ekaterina Feoktistovna Shavrina was bornin the village of Pyshma (Sverdlovsk region) in 1942. The girl's parents had some pretty interesting names. Father, Feoktist Evstigneevich, worked as a driver all his life. And mother, Feodosiya Evgenevna, was the housewife. It is worth noting that these are Old Believers' names. All the people of the Shavrin family attributed themselves to the Old Believers.
Although Catherine's mother had noble roots and wascompetent, refined and gentle, after meeting with Feoktist, she loved him with all her heart and became an obedient wife, adopting the Old Believers faith. Catherine inherited from her mother these traits. If she really loves a person, then she completely obeys him and gives up all of herself without reserve. But from the Old Believer kind of singer, too, something got at the genetic level. For example, Shavrina is still very squeamish and cannot drink from a glass or eat with a spoon, if before that someone has already used them. Catherine is very tormented by her own disgust and understands that this is impossible, but she can’t do anything with herself.
Strict education
In the first place, the Old Believers always had cleanliness.Until now, Shavrina Catherine, whose biography is an example of imitation for young artists, periodically visits the houses of Old Believers. A woman is simply struck by the sterility reigning in their housing. In the Old Believer families, children are taught to cleanliness and order from an early age.
Likewise, the parents raised Katya too.Mom was quite strict and demanding in matters of cleanliness. And God forbid, the children will do badly what she instructed them. Then be sure to redo it to the desired result. Now at home at Shavrina sterile, as in the operating room. The singer hired an au pair, but sometimes Ekaterina Feoktistovna has to redo some things for her herself.
Disease
In childhood, Shavrina could not speak.The girl was four years old, and she was still silent. Parents are very worried and could not understand the cause of the disease. Only one thing came to mind - Katya was jinxed. I had to lead her to the healers. Detractors told their parents that this was a family curse and their daughter would forever remain deaf and dumb. From such predictions, the parents panicked until one of the villagers told them to visit the famous professor who lives in Yekaterinburg and specializes in such ailments.
Shavrinov were delighted with this news, but on a tripand there was no money at all. Theodosia Evgenievna and Feoktista Evstigneevich had to sell the cow - their only breadwinner. The funds received were enough for a trip to the city to the professor. But after examining the doctor, he doubted the successful outcome of the operation and said that hardly anyone would be able to help Kate. In response, the father of the family to offer him all the money in their family. This angered the doctor, and he screamed at the girl's parents. But then he took pity on the village people and set a date for the operation. Despite the forecasts of the professor, her outcome was successful, and the girl spoke. And after a while she started singing too.
Catherine Shavrina, whose biography is knownto all lovers of folk songs, she still remembers how much her parents rejoiced when she spoke. It was at that moment that she realized that happiness for parents was seeing children healthy. Katya became addicted to singing early, because the radio worked in the house from morning till night. If someone disconnected him, Feoktist Evstigneevich immediately raised a scandal. And all six children (Katy had one more brother and four sisters) from childhood formed a habit that there should always be a musical background in the house. Thanks to almost round-the-clock listening to music, the heroine of this article learned to sing.
