Early life

Her mother Tamara Mikhailovna works as a chief inspector in the administrative-technical Inspection of the City of Moscow. Her father Konstantin Vasilyevich works as an artistic tailor and designer.[2] In Guseva's childhood, her father played the violin; it was his violin with which she was depicted in the series Brigada. Guseva's younger sister Nastya graduated from a pedagogical and psychological institute and works as a methodologist in a kindergarten.

Career

By the time she was four, Katya was already part of the modern gymnastics resource group for the Soviet Union's representative team. She also tried figure skating and swimming. Seven years before finishing school, Katya was involved in the Georgian dance ensemble Kolkhida and managed to perform in the Great Theatre.

Yekaterina gladly remembers the never-ending school summer breaks and campfires. She played in NABAT theatre, established by the school principal.

At the 11th grade level, Katya moved on to the biotechnology institute. For a year, she studied hard. She was approached by Evgeniya Simonova, who suggested she should apply for the V.V. Shukina Performing Arts College. She gave it a try and learnt minimums for the entry exam in three days. She made it with ease.

Her mother cried when she learnt Katya switched to performing arts. She did, though, appreciate Katya's talent once seeing the graduating piece Esop. Katya played a lot of roles during her study years but her favourite was the 80-year-old from The Last Ones, a play by Maxim Gorkiy.

Katya is married to Vladimir Abashkin and they have a son Alexei and a daughter Anna.
