In Europe, the artist works at the New Riga Theater. According to her, he did not expect to go on stage again.
“Russian actors in the West, to put it mildly, are not popular. Here no one expects us and no one needs us… And if you want your children to have a piece of bread and some clothes, then you will have to do it.” working as a taxi driver, messenger, whatever, giving private acting classes… Therefore, the fact that I am now working as an actress, I have the opportunity to go on stage, is a kind of luck or good luck. ,” she said.

The artist noted that her previous experience helped her settle in Latvia. She lived in Germany for three years. “I was a local star who moved from one collective farm to another. The fact that I was a star on that collective farm does not matter at all,” said the mother of many children.
Khamatova emphasized that now practically nothing connects her with her homeland. You can’t dream of your old earnings.
And, speaking about his possible arrival in Russia, he sets the condition: “I can say what I feel. And there will be no punishment for this. I will have some ways to express my discontent or opposition, so no criminal case will be initiated.” It will open… My children will not suffer.”
