For her, Medvedeva singled out two floors in the elegant building of the XIX century, hired one of the talented theater artists Alexei Tregubov, released a weighty catalog of the iconic works, some of which were allowed to the auction, the money from which the Galkonok Foundation went. And the heroine itself rose, surrounded by loyal fans and flowers. Here the Katya is sitting in an elegant caftana and a hat, under which pink hairs are hiding, in one hand holds a bouquet of sunflowers, in the other - a glass with champagne and wondering:

- God, for what do I deserve such a luxury? It was always simple, my teeth did not inserted, I did not pull to wealth at all. And why is it a orphan from the orphanage? The beauty of painting found out only 40 years when he came to work for art school. Cleaner. There and began to draw, the exhibition was immediately arranged for me. Always easily drawn - from the soul, from the people. In bed lying and write ...
