[000:00:00;00] friends, he was only 54 years old, according to media reports, perry was found in his home in los angeles in a jacuzzi, according to one version, which is now being spread by the american media, the cause of death was drowning, while there were no signs of a struggle at the scene. previously, perry admitted that in her youth she suffered from drug addiction, but no drugs were found at the scene of the tragedy. during his career, matthew perry played in dozens of films, although not a single job brought him such success as the role of chandler, bing in friends, the series... was in the mid-nineties, on over the course of 10 years, received six amy awards and one golden globe. in krasnoyarsk there is a confrontation between the best figure skaters of the country, the third stage of the russian grand prix series is taking place there, after a short program the leaders of the competition have emerged. for the girls, this is fifteen-year-old maria agayeva and anna faralova, who is following her slightly behind. among the men , dmitry aliev took the lead with a decent margin of points.

alexandra is in first place among sports couples at this stage. the duet of alexander stepanov and ivan bukin was appreciated in total. today is the final day of the competition, perhaps the most spectacular athletes will present their free program. the final balance of power may still change. we'll see how it will be first. so, the third stage of the russian figure skating grand prix, today we are watching the free program. that's all for now, see you later. is it then possible to conclude from this that such a super idea, a super task of your film is for people to stop asking this question, for them to ask some other questions, there is only one alternative, in my opinion, this is mercy, this is very banal and simple, this is mercy , sympathy, empathy, as they say now, humanity, humaneness, you know, when

they ask me who i am for, i am for the murdered, right? so that they are not forgotten, but i like the fact that alexander resurrected, left two guys alive, they were actually lovers, a girl, a poetess, bart, natasha petukhova, her fiancé, alexey shumsky, a young engineer, they died under bullets, i want there to be at least a symbolic monument to the murdered , in fact we need a real one, this is our common tragedy, when they ask for someone, why can’t... be for the peaceful coexistence of different forces, why couldn’t there be competition between different ideas and people , competition within the framework of the law of branches of power, this is said by sergei shargunov, who is now in his 40s, i thought the same thing then, they went to these barricades there was already an idea that , of course, i was walking, i was walking against violating the constitution, after all, i was more for the white house, it turns out, well, i was against

breaking the law, i was for preserving civilized competition between the parties, i was in favor of in ninety-three, simultaneous re-elections took place, for this, and then i, already thirteen years old, understood this, so you said that your worldview changed after these events, what did you mean, well , i’m the same as a character, i endowed the character victor with this , yes the main character, and i also once posted leaflets with yeltsin, for yeltsin. in ninety-one, yes , naturally, we all longed for this, i was luckier than our hero, because in ninety-three i entered the higher course and just changed my life just there 180°, yes, here, here we imagine a person who, uh, longs for a new life, democracy , freedom of speech, everything, everything, everything, it all seems to come, at the same time it kills

the ground from under your feet. and they say: now live as you want, and the person is not ready, and there were a lot of them, they were deceived, the reforms were carried out, apparently wrong, no one thought about the people, he says in a taxi, no one explained to the people, and no one needs red and white people, of course, the drama lies in total intolerance, in the unwillingness to take into account another person, and many believe that this is some kind of historical curse, that all this goes back to very deep, strong roots, i believe that then there was a very serious chance, a chance for a complex but compromise, and i believe that there in the ninety-third , a severe trauma for the subsequent time, believe me, i still had many questions in relation to a significant part of those who were on the part of the defenders of the white house, but i believe in diversity, i am against defamation and

mythologization, in fact it’s scary when both sides are already looking at each other... sight, everything was split , not only families there, but the country was actually split in half, and getting out of this through blood, well, in general, in a sense, we are still in this sense... unfortunately, those events are about the fact that there is a right for the strong and this was, in general, the destruction of what was given by perestroika, because people no longer believed in politicians, in general in their civic capabilities, to be interested in what was happening, they realized that no matter what unable to influence, in this sense, after after we lay under the bullets, and i realized that... the tanks will pass in any way, you ca n’t create an idol for yourself, this is still a commandment, that’s right, i remember, i lived nearby, the glass was clinking, but they are commandments, it all resonated

with pain , i must say that my dad is a priest, and we went, a few days later, he served a memorial service, i saw these endless traces of bullets, everything was torn apart, sobbing... i then met a lot of parents, in general, that’s all became such a personal story, we even had barricades hiding in our houses that smelled like fires, but of course, it was the right thing to do, i know the city will be, i know the garden will bloom, when there are such people in the soviet country, we are in novokuznetsk, the temperature is about 13,000°, and you can press... the button for me, yes, they told you, no , bigfoot does not exist, you made it all up, it happened, they did an examination, they said that it was not human hair, not animal hair,

just an unknown creature, a boat, the rowers in it, perhaps this is some kind of creature that meets people on boats, perhaps these are the souls of the dead, what about the food, you can dig up worms? yes, ladies and gentlemen, a deadly number, scrambled eggs with worms, but not so bad, well, yes, he was shuffling, the life of his own, the premiere, today is on the first day, the proletariat must not only cry out for revolution, but first of all go towards it themselves, revolution is impossible schedule for a specific day or time. due to the inevitably growing catastrophe, it is necessary now to determine the most successful positions, to arm, inspire the masses with a revolutionary slogan, train them in martial arts, keep them under

arms, the revolutionary proletarian masses there is, it is necessary to be able to simultaneously bring this mass to the streets throughout the entire space of russia and unite it with a common cry: trotsky, trodsky, period! trodsky, from november 1, on the first, any religion mixed with blood is a monster that sooner or later devours its own children. you think feed us to him and he will calm down. this is a podcast, the life of the wonderful, me, its leading writer, alexey varlamov, my guests: director alexander veledinsky and writer sergei shargunov. we're talking about the 1993 movie. i say i remember my feelings from this time. now, if you compare the ninety-first and the ninety-third, these are two key points in russian history, in the ninety-first i

was such an active citizen, because i was of course against the state emergency committee, of course for yeltsin, of course, there. in 93, to be honest, i was so tired of everything, such a lack of faith, i didn’t like either of them, not there, my wife was pregnant, well, then i liked it, i didn’t even understand that they told the birth of all this described it, it's just they were doing, i had to survive, my family, yes, everything was happening at that time, so when i watched your film now, he said, i really liked it, i really liked how the era was recreated there, i liked the interior, the details, dialogues, trains, this is all very cool, but nevertheless, i caught myself feeling that i was watching a film that did not quite coincide with mine, but i have the feeling that many people in russia, that is, there was some bunch of passionaries on one side on the other side, there was some kind of showdown between them, and a huge country, now it no longer believed either one or the other

, a huge country, this is my feeling, alexey, about this you are now contradicting yourself in a good way , because you just said that you lived literally like our character, that's just literally. but i didn’t even have any thoughts of going there, because what i’ll do there, i need to earn money, some will be drawn in, some won’t, as isenshtein said, what is a playwright? he looks like a crazy traffic cop, if the traffic cop has to separate everyone at an intersection so that everyone leaves, the playwright has to push everyone, which means, yes, it’s clear that both sergei in the novel and i in the film, when i wrote the script, there were four versions of the script, we created the situation around the hero in order to bring him to these barricades, the death of a friend and comb through the fact that usually only a few are involved in dramatic events associated with upheavals. in fact, always and even in the events of the ninety-

first year, for the most part, ordinary people did not participated, people lived their lives, of course, of course, he says, i want , he says to his wife at the beginning of the film, the task is to survive in the new paradigm, but at the same time i imagine, i imagine you, alexey, at the white house, on tverskaya , put the circumstances a little differently, there was just a certain company there, conversations, listened, read, it could have turned out, quite, i see you there, i remember, i later became very friendly with a wonderful writer, leonid bardin, whom i really i love it very much, i think that this is one of the most outstanding russian writers of recent times, and we were just talking about the events of the ninety-third year, yes, borodin, he is a political prisoner from the brezhnev, andropov times, who was imprisoned there for his activities, and he told me what the white

all my friends were at home, but they had reds, he said that he carried food there, he participated, but he could not ideologically stand next to them, yes, that is , humanly, constant orthodox religious processions, with icons of the new martyrs, there was a huge monarchical part, in general the supreme council, by the way, was non-communist, social democratic, but this is, so to speak, a political analysis, in the same scene. in a taxi, the hero says a very important important phrase, that i am the people, but i don’t like leaders, none at all, it’s as if an idea is born before our eyes, and so at least zhenya played it, tsyganov, that it is not good that fights evil, and evil with evil, and people of course recoiled from any politics, and what followed, including december of ninety -three, all sorts of protest votes,

that’s all... showed how deafened people are and tank salvoes and the fact that they don’t trust anyone, but this, this does not mean that there were no bright participants, charismatic in their own way, with their own truth and so on, just get off with the words “plague on your houses”, i’m not ready, i just think that there was a chance to avoid this head-on collision, and i sincerely believe that in diversity, in general, in openness to diversity, there is a saving... path, and i think this is very important, including what this movie is about, it’s very easy to pit people against each other and push them apart, but to actually hear and understand this is also important, but nevertheless, look, it still turns out that for the most part, even fiction, it is rather on the side of the white house, after all , to say that some literary works were created, so to speak, relatively speaking, with a liberal tint, nothing particularly comes to my mind, after all, you named rather marginalized works by famous writers, but still these books, as

they say, are not completely heard, and belong to the subculture, i want to say that really, except novel for 1993, nothing has been written about this, the absolute truth, but i hope that this topic will continue to resonate in literature , and i think new things will appear, and from what you said there is also a lot, of course worthy, but why it happened, you know why yes... in fact, this is the spirit of the songs of yegor letov, also another barricader, who was dragged from psychiatric hospitals to mental hospitals in soviet times, and then he raised a red flag in protest, so he was also very worried , for the fate of the shot parliament and just this spirit of victory he is precise about the losers; in general, the country was imbued with pity and sympathy for those who became

victims. this is also another lesson from october, and of course, writing a work from the position that they hit it correctly, they hit it somehow is not at all in the spirit of russian literature, so even again, tsyganov’s hero says when they save sid and nancy, answering a question from his, which means colleagues, he says , they are victims, then the colleague says: they will seize power and become like everyone else, he says, well, that will happen later, but now they are victims. give them to save, let’s feel sorry for them, he called for mercy on the fallen ones, of course, yes, it’s also very interesting, if you compare the film and the book, yes, this is the ending, in the ending of the book the hero dies. will she survive, that’s a big question, but she’s not wounded, she’s really bloodied , and less so, you have one of the most heartbreaking scenes, as they say , my wife played, but they told me, i was told

that yours played, she played perfectly , in general , the actors must be said, this is just something special, i must say a word of gratitude for how they they play convincingly, how is this... no one with a cold nose worked in this picture, and neither the actors, nor the directors , nor the cameramen, nor the make-up artists, nor the lighting people, nor the work were all very worried and let it pass through themselves, that’s for sure all i can say is, thank you guys, thank you to the group, thank you very much to everyone. i think for both older and younger viewers, everyone will take away something of their own, but the fact that the picture, although it is quite long, looks in one

go and you just, well, you just believe in what you see, and the camera work is absolutely amazing, the artist is there in my opinion. all these things in the book, the hero really dies and it seems to me that literary, this is honestly justified, yet the movie viewer is waiting for some kind of bright outcome, well, in the book there is also a bright outcome, because of course, literature is often halftones, and here, by the way, he dies in the book not from a bullet, but it’s those who read it. but it seems to me that cinema, this is no offense to cinema, it’s just such a genre, requires some more drastic decisions, still, let me remind you once again that i connected the character with myself personally, skipping all this instead, i wrote four

versions of the script, wrote the script for 2 years, during this time i was born, in the third version, in my opinion, exactly this ending was born of the script, because what... but i survived, i survived it , they said that there was no time for cinema, and i found myself some opportunities to move, although having completed higher courses in the year ninety-five, when we won’t see goodbye, you studied in vain, you know, yes, well, we’re somehow in that paradigm we tried to survive and survived, those who had the patience, so on my part it’s just...... since i’ve already gone down this path, it would be dishonest for this hero, of course, but the girl, isn’t it a pity, a pity, a very pity, a very pity , it’s a very pity, and i feel sorry for jansa, and jansa, though he also dies in the book, he dies, the line is more developed than in the book, i can just tell you, it might be a little funny, it might seem like

a story when i gave sasha robuk one to read of the scenario options, almost the last one, i say, disconnect, it’s in my every film is shot, but he wasn’t in the monasteries, and he says, he read it, he says he really likes the script, well, jans so jans, i say, i’ll write you a scene, specially, in which you will reveal yourself, you will reveal the main thing even more hero, it was a scene in a bar at night, when they’re afraid, i’ve been afraid all my life, i’ve been afraid all my life, but i wrote the scene for him, and sasha, well, thank you, now this is a role, they wanted to take me away, some man asked them... for them to find me, they say the kid is hiding in ukraine now children in a war zone can be taken away without the consent of their parents, white, they just put the child in the car , he is screaming mom, they are now giving me up for organs, don’t give me up, they had an operating room on the second floor where

they simply gutted them 7% of the budget income of ukraine is black transplantology. a built system at the state level, they come , for example, and say that we are interested in boys, girls, from 11 to 13, light-eyed and fair-haired, this is just consumable material for the european union, they treat this issue as buying a product for a store, it is from those people, from guardians who are a single-parent family, i want to see my baby, premiere, special report, ukraine children. for sale, today on the first. mancacher whiskey is a product of the stellar group. the best russian tank came under ukrainian fire. the t-90 is the most optimal tank specifically for the war in

ukraine. but unian writes: we destroy at least twice as much as the russians can produce. we must understand that the the bundesphere, for example, has only 200 tanks, and in the new ones we make 200 vehicles a year, we got to the bottom of the barrel, the immortal koschey, it turns out, was the ukrainians. why do you guys need so much to be some kind of scary, negative hero? fairy tales, children are not afraid of koshchei, children are taught to defeat him. antifake, premiere, tomorrow, on the first. this is a podcast about the life of the wonderful, i am its leading writer alexey varlamov, my guests are director alexander veledinsky and writer sergei shargunov. we 're talking about the 1993 movie. by the way, me i was pleased with how the book and film were received by the left. on the right, those who still remain opponents, here, but those who have an artistic flair, they each saw their own, and this pain

remains with people, and at the same time, those who persist in dogmatism, of course, will not be satisfied, not a novel not a film, there will be haters from right to left, and i had no doubt about it, when i started making the film and read the book, i knew, and this happened 4 years ago, our first movements towards the film began. i admire and trust alexander very much, and of course, this was created as a separate , interesting work, yes, i also think so, that this film is really such a real event, like we have had for a long time, probably, but without the book it would not have happened, but i want, i want to make this remark , i often read reproaches, especially those related to the new generation, many say how it will be perceived by those who did not live then and did not see it. it seems to me that, in a sense , the film deliberately, if not smoothed over, then brought out the political context, and this

seems to me archetypally correct, because this is about eternal strife, it is very important to show that good and sincere people could end up like this against each other, this mysticism, magic, secret and pain of split, it seems to me, is much more important than... diving into the details is difficult, i might even argue with this, because it was in the novel, no, it was very interesting for me to read in the novel, when some people with their own names appeared, what is it called, here makashov, here barkashov, konstantinov is here, but they’re all people i’ve already forgotten about, maybe, but suddenly they so they are resurrected, yes, he really was like that, he said something, he did something, yes, that was all for me, yes, yes, of course, i remember very well, in fact, this

sunday evening on october 3 , when gaidar calls on everyone to go to the mass council, and my friend calls me and says that i have to go, because god forbid, these people will now burst into ostankino and what will happen in the country is generally unclear, so i remember my feeling that i need to feed the children, i have other worries altogether, this kind of everyman in me spoke like this unbearable is a private person who. wants to have nothing to do with all this, so this is of course interesting, in the film, by the way, it was very interesting to me, when some kind of documentary pictures appeared there, yeltsin appeared here, the patriarch appeared here, rudskoy appeared there, someone, this is really very cool, this is a combination of documentary and artistic beginnings, here i can already reveal such a secret, in the second version of the script, in my opinion , i read, these were characters who were directly so... we took part in the film, we had to look for actors, all this, and this, this would have become

tedious, in my opinion, my big one, and i refused this skid, because a book is a book, again, a movie - this is a movie, well, of course, in the movie it’s a very cool idea with these coffins, in fact this theme arises there, and during the wake, it was born, the funeral business, it’s really very very true, i’m very glad that it was born, already for the second version i called the producers and said: my script is bad, because i haven’t developed the heroine’s line, she must still achieve her goal, that this confrontation will be with the hero, and i say, she will be engaged in this kind of business, in the third version it already appeared, and then zhereniya tsyganov, when he read the script, and says , you say there was always some kind of light at the end in films, but here it ended quite gloomily for me. i won’t say how, yeah, i myself very much doubted it, but when you doubt it,

with some scenes, some key things, while you’re writing or filming? about it i thought, sometimes he’ll say, you can send, say, uh, no, you just didn’t understand anything, comrade, go and have a walk, but here it’s not, here it’s absolutely perfect, when you yourself doubted it and someone even pointed a finger at you, thank you, and i was driving, i remember, i was riding in a taxi and i called zhenya and told tsiganov, i said, this will be the ending. he says: that’s it, i’m filming, by the way, many people think that tsuganov has perhaps the best role, that he somehow revealed himself very, very, very strongly in this movie, felt-tip pens, calendars for the year ninety-four, which is just around the corner, men's, you don't want men, lavshin, bryantsev, colleague, retired a long time ago, he played a very correct, kind and

conscientious russian peasant, this is cool, the fact is that it’s already... history, that on the one hand i i copied this from a person, but the main one is practically identical, well, maybe not space and not, therefore, sewerage, but it’s very similar, all these are the same ranges, and zhenya took it as her personal and by the way, zhenya too damn, as a witness, he came there at ninety, yes , he was also a boy, and you are the same age, that is, you there are two guys there who could... i must say that we met on the set , not everyone recognizes me, it’s a night in the cold rain and half a minute in the frame, i was asked who you want to be, maybe some kind of deputy , i said, god forbid, thank you, god, i’m a punk, i’m wearing a leather jacket, yes , when they come out of the hatch, they look so summery, and young guys came up to me after

the premiere of the remake and said, there are so many interesting actors, and did you notice this one there? yes, well, he’s also wearing glasses and a leather jacket, he has such a mane, it doesn’t flash for long, but it’s just like that characteristic, i say, you know who this is, wow, yegor, you like him, you couldn’t see his eyes, but he’ll be like this, so that his eyes can be seen, no, no, come on, like this. that’s just naked, well, surprisingly, it’s very important, and bold, and significant that what didn’t let us go eventually turned into a movie, this is the first feature film about those events 30 years later, well, dear friends, thank you very much thank you very much for this conversation, thank you even more for this film, for this book, i

urge everyone to watch it, read the novel sergei with compare, draw your own conclusions, understand who you are for, this was a podcast, the life of the wonderful, i am with you, its host, writer alexei varlamov, my guests were the wonderful director alexander veledinsky and writer sergei shargunov, be merciful, here. hello everyone, this is a free program podcast, i’m maxim toronkov, and today my guest is a real superstar, invincible, alina zagitova. alina, hello, welcome, hello, maxim, hello everyone, alina, i actually tried to prepare for this interview, but it is almost impossible to find facts that are not known about you, because there is so much attention from the press, on social networks,

it would seem that everyone knows everything about alina, so i would like to start our conversation. so alin, i know that today you had a very difficult day, tell me a little about it, how it went , yesterday i was in izhevsk, with my grandparents, in fact, i haven’t been in this city for a long time, but not due to the fact that i didn’t want to, there was simply no opportunity, and at least for a day, a day and a half, i flew out and saw each other with everyone, i was charged with positive emotions, in the morning i had an early flight , uh, i, for some reason, i started having insomnia, i don’t know, maybe i got nervous or i lived through so many, so many emotions during the day that i just couldn’t sleep , slept for only 2 hours, then arrived, immediately went to the beauty salon to somehow get myself in order for today’s interview, then i was almost

late for you, i have to give you credit, you showed up on time, like for a training session. yes , of course, the sporting past, that is , discipline, has passed, sport never happens in in the past, he is always with us, as we know with you, probably, and when you were last on the ice, 2 days ago, that is. recently there was a performance for the centenary of moscow sports, so we performed in the luzhnyaki, a lot of people came, which is good news, let’s go back a little to your childhood, my dad was a hockey player in the past and he constantly traveled to different cities, played in different teams , i started figure skating in almetevsk. you travel a lot in ice shows and just when you act as a speaker or presenter at

some events at various forums, which city do you remember most recently? well, i liked ufa. ufa , i liked it, and everything came together; the weather and the beautiful view and the people. well, in general, i would go back there again . i would definitely go back there with you too because that i remembered the trip to ufa. because of you, you gave me a wonderful bouquet of dandelions, but exactly , well, i need to tell, it seems to me, this story, well , tell me, in general, i don’t like to be late, and as it turned out, maxim doesn’t like being late either. someone was late, but then it turned out that i was delayed for two minutes, because we were all going to the ice palace together, i came in here, and how are you, maxim leonidovich, maxim leonidovich gave me some good lulets. such a person should not be late, that is, i was correct, i simply advised, as an olympic champion of an olympic champion, that we are olympic champions, we should set an example for the younger ones and in

no case should our helmets press on us with alina, we should sit down calmly, in the next times when i was late literally 30 seconds, alina gave me a gorgeous bouquet of dandelions, thank you very much, there was only one bouquet, but i was just running at the speed of light, i guess i just can’t walk up these steps now... they’ll put it in, that’s it, i need to take something to soften maxim leonidovich, i took this bouquet, alina, because of the limitations generally accepted for us, for figure skaters, and for athletes in general, well, probably, these are everyday training, i feel like i ’m such a lazy person and just didn’t do anything today, although for example, i do a lot i did some filming, held a bunch of negotiations, outlined plans for the week, but in the evening i feel as if i didn’t do anything, if it wasn’t a workout that day, and if there was a workout, even if i

didn’t do anything else that day, i i feel absolutely at peace with a sense of accomplishment i go to bed for a long time, how the idea has matured in your family to try to move to moscow, to try your hand at a stronger figure skating school, this is a very interesting story, there were just some... this competition is in moscow , it was the first my competition in this city is also a significant event for me, because i think, moscow , wow, i’ve always wanted to get there , just maybe - some person, just for a walk, i have great competitions here, and i always all my life, well, like all my life, i’ll lie, probably all my life, but the last 20. 3 years and i just wanted to get into etoriya georgievna’s group. and why exactly to her, did you know one of the girls, yulia lepnitskaya, i think that everyone, everyone says that, after sochi, many wanted get into her group. you watched the olympics on

tv, remember? well, i didn’t watch, i wasn’t interested in figure skating, that is, i just briefly watched some moments competitively, highlighting something for myself. that is. alina zagitova didn’t see my victory, i watched, and that is, i even reviewed some moments of these emotions that were at the end, and i wanted exactly the same thing, if i was at the olympics, you wanted to do it like this, like this, yes, and i did it. let's go back, after all, how did you end up in moscow, kateri georgievna?

where you wanted, it seems to me that this is the first time that you, in principle, set your goal and achieved it, for 3 years i said, mom, come on, come on, come on, come on, that is, you yourself threw this idea to my mother that i i want to go to moscow, i want to train with eteri georgievna, that’s right, well, most likely she thought that this was some kind of... childish pity, and it would pass, although she really believed, she was just afraid too, we lived all our lives first in olimite, then in uzhevsk, that is, these are small cities, not even million-plus, anyway, it’s a very serious step, especially for an adult, a conscious person, that is , for me it was unconscious, i didn’t understand

what was there, i just wanted to. russian grand prix, live broadcast, today at the first, let's see, it will be very interesting, love figure skating, adore figure skating, appreciate figure skating. old barrel cognac is a product of the stellar group, you are too happy, lumya, our time has come, stepanich, this one, i’ll think of something, i don’t want

to upset you, old man. but there are no clinics there, and such an operation will cost, well, yes, it really is half a million, bison, the fashion model’s case, the final episodes on monday tuesday, on the first, hello, light, delonorova, where are we meeting? yes, my russia will say, yes, and we are united forever, like the sun, air and water, all together, the most russian hit about my sad soul, and let my heart ache for those whom i do not ask, yes,

to breathe and believe in the wounded heart, my yours, for my pain, even if my battle is bad, until the fire goes out, my heart beats, it goes harder in breasts, our eternal pony, i am russia, i go to the end, shaman! i am russian, the premiere is on november 4, at the first, i think that the parents were simply afraid, that is, they also wanted, my mother all the time, well, it is clear that this is very difficult in everyday life, because there is also a younger sister who also goes to school, on which a lot also depends, again, financial costs, that is, either the whole family moves, but if dad has a good coaching job there, then the parents will have to leave, that is, is this really a very

serious step, parents? loan so i can live in moscow, i still can’t explain how i got to moscow, this is a competition, i still came there, my performance was, to put it mildly, not very good, well, in general, i was somewhere in the top 20, probably after the competition , we had, i think, the competition ended at five, and our train was around nine, so i don’t remember, to be honest, but there was a very short interval between. by train and i was like: mom, come on, come on, in the end, it’s like, okay , that’s it, we got ready, uh, quickly on the metro, it’s big there, we need something else there, to get our bearings, but in all this, in the end we got our bearings, found out the schedule , my mother came downstairs, they were just having a warm-up, before the second ice, so she talked about how my mother told me...' then

she says, she asked what place took, what’s your name, she watched the performance right there, she was like that, she looks like that, it’s just, well , the performance wasn’t about anything at all, i was somewhere in the twenties, but - seriously, you think, well, probably, now i understand that approaching such a coach with such results, well soft. speaking, it’s very shameful, because you need to have something - for your own sake, but somehow with us, yes, then i thought. damn, here i am now the twentieth, this is what i should do, and i want it so much, and what, i had a lot of thoughts, but in the end i persuaded her, she was like, let’s see, on the ice on the ice, yes, but i first came to

the warm-up, my heart is pounding like this , my heart is squeezing, well, in general, there were a lot of people, i’m still shy, i’m like, damn, how is it, and there are all the stars there? there were who, yulia lepnitskaya, there was, yulia lepnitskaya, polina, chinskaya, zhenya was there, and dyan petkeev, tarasenko, voronov, in general, well, it’s clear , all the white light remained, they went out to fly, i rode for about 30-40 minutes , jumped, spun, slid, georgievna like that, he says, well, come on, we ’ll take you after the new year. for viewing, but it’s not yet certain that they took us into the group, but i, yes, but i was already so happy, as if i was still skating there, and my mother and i almost missed the train later, we were just throwing in like that suitcases, climbed onto

this train, it’s just already going in dad’s, but you you remember it like it was yesterday, yes , that is, the same train that you and your mother jumped on while moving, it was, in principle, your lucky day, so that you could then return in moscow to begin the career of a great champion. do you remember the day when we met you in person for the first time? yes, it was, i was still skating in uzhevsk, and we had a training camp in sochi, sirius, and then i, you had an autograph session, i even have a photograph, but you didn’t pay attention to me. there was one too, but for me to stand even with you was already something supernatural, as if you are standing with a superman, so this energy, it really exists, well, it is felt when the champion is already standing, so you have, there was this

energy, and now there is, well, there is another story, well, i will explain why i i didn’t notice alina zagitova, because alina zagitova in this photo is standing right here right behind me, they just pushed me like that, yes , i remember, tell the story of your olympic medal, you often look at it, sleep with it, keep it, actually no, well, it’s just hanging on my medallion that they gave me my fans, there she is so very beautiful and there are just two medals hanging, one silver, the other gold, i practically don’t touch them, that is, i used to be like this, here ’s the medal, i put it on, i lay down, i took it off on purpose so as not to forget , where i put it in the olympic village, when i had silver, i did it on purpose, i even have a video where, uh, i just took it, and we didn’t have any boxes yet, boxes for medals, i did it on purpose like this i put it on video, took a picture, so that in the morning

i could see if it was a dream at all, now i understand that this is just with me, besides all the jokes about the lucky ticket and so on, this is a colossal work, just in general... even with your coaches, they still admire how you worked, there is an olympic season and so on, that is, during the olympic season you already understood that there was this chance and you would put everything on the altar of this olympic dream, now i can already tell you this in the morning, i had training at 8 in the morning, that is, at 7 as clear as a bayonet , i came to the skating rink, also before everyone else, my mother just woke me up, i... and what, okay, skates i took it, went, and then - i had some extra stretching, then i went to school, until four, i studied somewhere, went to
