作为一个著名的天才儿童的母亲是很不容易的。一些父母成为了他们的影子，紧紧跟随着他们，参与所有的细节。另一些则躲避着公众的关注与宣传。Tatiana Vasilievna Plushenko作为最好之一的花滑选手的母亲，她不想成为前面所提到的那两种父母。对于她来说，Evgeny首先是一个儿子，一个她非常爱的儿子，其次才是“冠军”。
Q:Zhenya，是如何成为一名花滑选手的？
Tatiana Vasilievna:我在街上遇到了我的一位女性朋友，她告诉我，她的女儿不想再继续滑冰了，冰鞋便用不到了，她愿意把冰鞋送给Jenya（注：这里应该指的就是Zhenya。不知是这个是Zhenya的另一个昵称，还是写错了。下面还有一处也是这样）。这是一个纯粹的巧合。Zheny是一个勇敢的男孩，当他只有一岁两个月大的时候，他就会骑三轮车了。3岁的时候——他学会骑自行车。在他得到冰鞋一周之后，他开始学滑冰，他摔倒了很多次，孩子们都取笑他，他哭了。他的第一任教练是伟大的——Tatiana Nikolaevna Skala，她告诉他，“继续努力，你将会超过他们所有人”。所以，当他长到四岁的时候，他真的超过了那些甚至已经滑了两年冰的人。
Q:Zhenya的个性是怎样的呢？
Tatiana Vasilievna:他很体贴，也很友好，而且很受他人的喜欢。如果你请他做什么事的话，他会去做的。
Q:你是那种严格的父母么？
Tatiana Vasilievna:并非如此，不存在任何严格的理由。他是一个使人引以为荣的学生，就像5年级时，他所有的课程都得到了5分（相当于“A”）。他只有很少的时间去学习——大部分时间都在训练中度过。6岁，他就开始参加真正的比赛。他在没有我们陪伴的情况下，去各地参赛，只有一个教练陪同。
Q:当他不得不离开你的时候，他是不是非常的伤心？（为了去训练中心得到更多的训练？）
Tatiana Vasilievna:我并不想他离开，我丈夫和我从来没有想过让我们的孩子去到另外的城市，去见一个新的教练。他可以滑冰，我们就已经很满足了。我们并没有什么长远的计划，但是当地的冰场被关闭了。他现在的教练Makoveev提供给他去圣彼得堡的机会。我到现在还是不能相信，自己是怎么会同意让他去的。我们试图说服他，劝他去试试冰球，足球。但是他坚持自己选择的路“我想要去”。所以他就去了。在没有我在身边的情况下，独自生活了六个月。
Q:我从一些地方看到，在这六个月中，他常常抱着枕头哭。那么你呢？
Tatiana Vasilievna:噢，当然，我哭了！这么小的孩子却独自一人生活在一个大城市里。在冰场，那些大孩子推搡他，欺负他，没有任何人维护他。训练结束后，他就离开冰场——就是这样，他是完全孤独的，没有人关心（他发生了什么事）。对于我来说，哪怕只是想象这些都是很难的。当然，我每天都会打电话给他。有一次，我去和他生活了一周。我不能经常的过去，那样我很难处理我的工作，钱也是一个问题。当我离开的时候，我大哭了一场。他追在火车后面跑，大喊着“妈妈，妈妈”。我哭了整整一路，这实在是太难了。当我回到家里，我对我丈夫说——“我们必须得做些什么”。我们决定，我去和Zhenya一起生活。
Q:在那段时间里，什么是最困难的？
Tatiana Vasilievna:钱。那时只有我丈夫一个人在工作了，而且我们往返于两个城市之间。在伏尔加格勒，我们必须得为公寓付出生活花销。在圣彼得堡，我们也必须花200卢布租一个房间（一个在公共公寓中的房间）。Zhenya没有任何收入。（比如说把一个苹果切成两半，一半今天吃，一半明天吃）。在滑冰中心(Jubileiniy)，他有时会得到午餐优惠券，有时没有，但是Zhenya并不会去讨要。（她的意思是，午餐优惠券应该是他每天都有的，但是他们总会不记得给他，他也并不去强求。）他经常说“我总是有办法能买到的”。即便是现在，他也不去苛求什么（挑剔）。他当然有爱吃的食物，尤其是我做的水果馅点心，但是如果没有什么特别的吃的，他也是满足的。


Q: 你在两个城市之间奔波有多久？
Tatiana Vasilievna:全部算在一起的话有——7年。当Zhenya去比赛的时候，我就回去我丈夫那里。我的丈夫(Viktor).很少到列宁格勒来，我们住在一个生活了很多人的公共公寓，人口密度很高，其他的住户不喜欢再有更多的人留在这里了。后来，我们租了另一个类似的公寓，这样就方便了。我的丈夫可以来看我们，还有女儿也是（Zhenya的姐姐和她的孩子）。再后来，Zhenya买下了一个公寓。说实话，我们从没有预想到花样滑冰会成为一项可以赚钱的工作。我的儿子也从没想过（或者认为会有）任何金钱——他只是喜欢滑冰。
Q:当Zhenya十二岁的时候，他为你买了一件冬天穿的大衣，这是真的么？
Tatiana Vasilievna:是的。是的。他拿到了联邦政府按月发放的食品津贴。有六个月，他选择不去领取它们，他把这些钱存了起来。然后，都拿给了我，说“这里，妈妈，这是给你买大衣的钱”。这是很棒的。总的来说，他很喜欢送礼物，并且知道怎样去送（她的意思是，他知道怎样去做，使得接受者并不会感到有负担）。Zhenya一直梦想着我们一家人可以在一起。他为他姐姐买了一个公寓，她和她的家人就可以搬来彼得堡了。Janya非常高兴，我们终于可以在一起了。
Q:你会去看他的比赛么？
Tatiana Vasilievna:在伏尔加格勒时，我去。但是在我现在的年龄，我的神经已经承受不起了，我得保护它们，还有我的精力。所以我不去看了。这样也对Jenya更好。我会在电视上看。但是最好的方法是当我知道结果后看录像。
Q:Zhenya很容易坠入爱河么？
Tatiana Vasilievna:5岁的时候，他在冰场第一次爱上了一个女孩，她非常可爱。当我们坐同一辆车时，他试图去亲吻她，她一直说“不行，我父亲不允许我这样”。然后他就说“但是我妈妈允许啊”。之后，他又在冰场爱上了另一个女孩，Katya，四岁，她很矮，也是一个很好的滑冰选手。不过后来，他就变得成熟了，在情感上也是。
Q:他把一切都告诉你么？
Tatiana Vasilievna:并没有，不过我自己看到了很多。
Q:在他所有的采访中，他都谈到了，他有一个非常温暖的家庭。
Tatiana Vasilievna:是的，他爱我们，关心和挂念我们。他总是想着我的健康状况。他知道，只要我能做到，我就会尽量久的支撑下去，但如果我在白天时躺下了——那就意味着，我是真的病了。如果那时他有一个外出计划——他会努力去取消掉。我们非常的亲密，就像是我们是“一体的”。

原文
It’s not easy to be a mother of a famous and talented child. Some parents become their shadows, following every step, involved in every detail. Others hide away from public and publicity. Tatiana Vasilievna Plushenko, the mother of one of the best skaters, is not willing to do one or the other. Evgeny to her, first of all a son, a very loved son, and "Champion" – is secondary.
Q: How did Zhenya became a Skater?
Tatiana Vasilievna: I met one of my lady friends on the street, she told me her daugher no longer wants to skate, a set of skates was being wasted, she offered Jenya to take them. It was a pure coincidence. Zhenya was a brave boy. He learned to ride a 3-w-cycle when he was only 1 year, 2 months old. At the age of 3 – he was riding a bi-cycle. He learned to skate 1 week after he got on skates. He fell a lot, kids were teasing him, and he cried. His first coach was great – Tatiana Nikolaevna Skala. She told him “keep trying. You will pass them all.” So, when he turned 4, he truly did pass even those who were skating for 2 years.
Q: What’s is Zhenya’s personality?
Tatiana Vasilievna: He is kind and sweet. And very agreeable. If you ask him something, he’ll do it.
Q: Were you strict as parents?
Tatiana Vasilievna: Not really. There was not a single reason to be strict. He was an honor student, 5th Grade for example he had all 5’s (“A” equiv.). He had so little time to study – lots of time was spent on training. He started real competitions since he was 6. He traveled without us, only with a coach.
Q: Was he heart broken when he had to leave you? (to more to the training center)
Tatiana Vasilievna: I did not want him to go. My husband and I never had any desire to take our child to another town, to seen a new coach. He was skating – and that was fine with us. We had not big plans. But the local rink was shut down. His current trainer Makoveev offered him to go to St. Petersburg. I still can’t believe myself, how did I ever let him go. We tried to talk him out of it, suggested hockey, football. But he insisted to get his way “I want to go”. So he went. Lived there all alone without me for 6 months.
Q: I read someplace that during this 6 months he cried a lot into his pillow. And you?
Tatiana Vasilievna: Oh, did I cry! Little child, all alone in a big city. At the rink the big boys hustled him. And he had nobody to defend him. After his practice he would leave the rink – and that’s it, he was totally alone, and nobody cared (what happens to him). It’s hard for me to even picture it. Of course, I called him everyday. Once I spent a week with him. I could not come more often, my job was complicated and money was an issue. When I left that time, I cried terribly. He was running after the train, yelling “Mama, Mama”. I cried the whole ride home, it was so difficult. When I got home, I told my husband – “we got to do something”. We decided that I will move with Zhenya.
Q: What was the most difficult part during these times?


Tatiana Vasilievna: Finances. Now only my husband worked, and we commuted between 2 cities. In Volgograd we had to pay apartment living expenses, in St. Petersburg we had to rent a room for 200 rubles (a room in a communal apartment). Zhenya was not earning anything. (The apple thing. Having only one, cutting it in half to save for next day). At the skating center (Jubileiniy) he sometime would get lunch coupons, some times not. But Zhenya is not the kind to demand. (she means he was entitled to lunch coupons every day, but they did not always remembered to give him one, and he did not ask). He always said “I’ll get buy somehow”. Even now he is not demanding (picky). He likes certain foods of course, especially my dumplings, but if there is nothing special to eat – fine with him.
Q: How long did you live between two cities?
Tatiana Vasilievna: All together – 7 years. When Zhenya went to competitions, I went back to my husband. My husband (Viktor). Rarely came to Leningrad. We lived there in a highly populated communal apartment and other residents did not like when even more people came to stay. Then we rented another similar apartment. There it was easier. My husband could visit, and daughter (Zhenya’s older sister with her baby). Then Zhenya bought an apartment. To be honest, we never expected that figure skating will turn into a work that earns money. My son never expected (or thought there would be) any money – he just wanted to skate.
Is it true that when Zhenya was 12 he bought you a winter coat?
Tatiana Vasilievna: Yes. He got the food stipend money from the Federation on monthly basis. He chose not to collect them for 6 months, he was saving them. Then he brought them all to me and said “Here mom, this is for your winter coat”. That was nice. In general he loves to make presents, and knows how to. (she means, he knows how to do it so that the recipient does not feel obligated). Zhenya dreamed of our family being all together. He bought his sister an apartment, and she moved there with her family to Petersburg. Jenya was so happy, we were all together finally.
Q: Do you see him in competitions?
Tatiana Vasilievna: In Volgograd I did. But now my nerves are out with age. I save them and my soul. I don’t go. It’s better for Jenya also. I watch it on TV. But the best way is on video when I know the outcome.
Q: Is Zhenya prone to falling in Love?
Tatiana Vasilievna: He was 5 years old when he first fell in love with a girl at his rink. She was cute. When we took the same bus, he kept trying to kiss her. She kept saying “Don’t. My father does not allow”. And he would say “But my mother does allow”. Then he fell in love with another girl at the rink, Katya, she was 4 years older. She was short and a good skater. And later he became more mature so are his emotions.
Q: Does he tells you everything?
Tatiana Vasilievna: No not everything. But I see a lot for myself.
Q: He speaks with great warmth about his family in all his interviews.
Tatiana Vasilievna: Yes, he loves us, worries and takes care of us. He is always concerned about my health. He knows that I will hold up as long as I can, but if I had to lie down during the day – then it means I am really ill. If he has a trip planned at such time – he’ll try to cancel it. We are very close, as if we are “one whole”.
