The girl's artistic abilities became noticeable very early, her sonorous voice sounded in the house from morning to evening. At the age of fifteen, Larisa knew exactly which profession she would choose. The girl entered the music pedagogical school. Then she continued her studies at GITIS, chose musical comedy as a specialization. Opera prima Maria Maksakova became her vocal teacher. The father did not support the choice of his daughter, he was disrespectful to the artists, he believed that they were below the military rank. He saw his daughter as a student of the biology department of the university.
