Biography:
Irina Goryacheva was born into a family far from the world of art. However, already at the age of 4 the girl found herself on the set. And this happened traditionally for that time: Ira was walking around VDNH with her mother, where a television representative drew attention to her. As a result, the girl starred in the title screen of the popular TV show “Around the World.” Here I would say that from that time Irina began to dream of becoming an actress, but in reality nothing like that happened. There are pleasant memories left, and that’s all. During her school years, Irina dreamed of becoming a historian and archaeologist. She dreamed of excavations and was going to enter the Far Eastern University. Mom wanted her daughter to follow in her footsteps and become a doctor. But neither one nor the other was destined to come true...

After working in Yaroslavl for several years, Irina Goryacheva once went on tour with the theater to St. Petersburg. They played the play “Simplicity is enough for every wise man.” It was there that the leaders of the Alexandrinsky Theater drew attention to Irina and Vadim. An invitation to join the troupe followed, which the actors, naturally, could not refuse. Since that time, Irina and Vadim have lived and worked in the northern capital... Irina Goryacheva made her film debut as an actress at the Yaroslavl Theater. But the actress began actively acting in more or less significant roles after moving to St. Petersburg.

Around the same time, the actress began acting in films.

An excerpt characterizing Goryacheva, Irina Georgievna
Pierre walked, looking around, counting steps in threes, and counting on his fingers. Turning to the rain, he internally said: come on, come on, give it more, give it more. It seemed to him that he was not thinking about anything; but far and deep somewhere his soul thought something important and comforting. This was something of a subtle spiritual extract from his conversation with Karataev yesterday. Yesterday, at a night halt, chilled by the extinguished fire, Pierre stood up and moved to the nearest, better-burning fire. By the fire, to which he approached, Plato was sitting, covering his head with an overcoat like a chasuble, and telling the soldiers in his argumentative, pleasant, but weak, painful voice a story familiar to Pierre. It was already past midnight. This was the time at which Karataev usually recovered from a feverish attack and was especially animated. Approaching the fire and hearing Plato’s weak, painful voice and seeing his pitiful face brightly illuminated by the fire, something unpleasantly pricked Pierre’s heart. He was frightened by his pity for this man and wanted to leave, but there was no other fire, and Pierre, trying not to look at Plato, sat down near the fire. - How's your health? - he asked. - How's your health? “God will not allow you to die because of your illness,” said Karataev and immediately returned to the story he had begun. “...And so, my brother,” continued Plato with a smile on his thin, pale face and with a special, joyful sparkle in his eyes, “here, my brother... Pierre knew this story for a long time, Karataev told this story to him alone six times, and always with a special, joyful feeling. But no matter how well Pierre knew this story, he now listened to it as if it were something new, and that quiet delight that Karataev apparently felt while telling it was also communicated to Pierre. This story was about an old merchant who lived decently and God-fearingly with his family and who one day went with a friend, a rich merchant, to Makar. Stopping at an inn, both merchants fell asleep, and the next day the merchant's comrade was found stabbed to death and robbed. A bloody knife was found under the old merchant's pillow. The merchant was tried, punished with a whip and, having pulled out his nostrils - in the proper order, said Karataev - he was sent to hard labor. “And so, my brother” (Pierre caught Karataev’s story at this point), this case has been going on for ten years or more. An old man lives in hard labor. As follows, he submits and does no harm. He only asks God for death. - Fine. And if they get together at night, the convicts are just like you and me, and the old man is with them. And the conversation turned to who is suffering for what, and why is God to blame. They began to say, that one lost a soul, that one lost two, that one set it on fire, that one ran away, no way. They began to ask the old man: why are you suffering, grandpa? I, my dear brothers, he says, suffer for my own and for people’s sins. But I didn’t destroy any souls, I didn’t take anyone else’s property, other than giving away to the poor brethren. I, my dear brothers, am a merchant; and had great wealth. So and so, he says. And he told them how the whole thing happened, in order. “I don’t worry about myself,” he says. It means God found me. One thing, he says, I feel sorry for my old woman and children. And so the old man began to cry. If that same person happened to be in their company, it means that he killed the merchant. Where did grandpa say he was? When, in what month? I asked everything. His heart ached. Approaches the old man in this manner - a clap on the feet. For me, he says, old man, you are disappearing. The truth is true; innocently in vain, he says, guys, this man is suffering. “I did the same thing,” he says, “and put a knife under your sleepy head.” Forgive me, he says, grandfather, for Christ’s sake. Karataev fell silent, smiling joyfully, looking at the fire, and straightened the logs. - The old man says: God will forgive you, but we are all sinners to God, I suffer for my sins. He himself began to cry bitter tears. What do you think, falcon,” Karataev said, beaming brighter and brighter with an enthusiastic smile, as if what he now had to tell contained the main charm and the whole meaning of the story, “what do you think, falcon, this killer, the one in charge, has appeared . I, he says, ruined six souls (I was a big villain), but most of all I feel sorry for this old man. Let him not cry at me. Showed up: they wrote it off, sent the paper as it should. The place is far away, until the trial and the case, until all the papers have been written off as they should, according to the authorities, that is. It reached the king. So far, the royal decree has come: to release the merchant, give him awards, as much as they were awarded. The paper arrived and they began to look for the old man. Where did such an old man suffer innocently in vain? The paper came from the king. They started looking. – Karataev’s lower jaw trembled. - And God already forgave him - he died. So, falcon,” Karataev finished and looked ahead for a long time, silently smiling. Not this story itself, but its mysterious meaning, that enthusiastic joy that shone in Karataev’s face at this story, the mysterious meaning of this joy, it was now vaguely and joyfully filling Pierre’s soul. – A vos places! [Get to your places!] - a voice suddenly shouted. There was a joyful confusion and expectation of something happy and solemn between the prisoners and the guards. The shouts of the command were heard from all sides, and on the left side, trotting around the prisoners, cavalrymen appeared, well dressed, on good horses. On all their faces there was an expression of the tension that people have when they are close to higher authorities. The prisoners huddled together and were pushed off the road; The guards lined up. – L'Empereur! L'Empereur! Le marechal! Le duc! [Emperor! Emperor! Marshal! Duke!] - and the well-fed guards had just passed when a carriage thundered in a train, on gray horses. Pierre caught a glimpse of the calm, handsome, thick and white face of a man in a three-cornered hat. It was one of the marshals. The marshal's gaze turned to the large, conspicuous figure of Pierre, and in the expression with which this marshal frowned and turned his face away, Pierre seemed to have compassion and a desire to hide it.
