we'd rather ignore someone's troubles than give a helping hand we're asking an actress and co-founder of the party reason charity foundation deal of course. another survey has shown big companies operate russia spend an impressive part of their income on charity but while firm stand to spend cash and big social projects the c.f. ranking makes it clear personal health in russia is not to come on of those some experts believe this ranking shows only one side of the coin the other is the development of charity against time and here we can be more apt to mistake as more and more russians are getting involved in helping others in one way or another and the people that is or give life charity foundation is proved to that it will deny this treatment for children with cancer diseases and all the serious illnesses and drawing financial support helps them buy medicines and expensive medical equipment

. hello welcome to the show thank you very much for being with us so well i have a quote you said. i intend to change the world for the better i have as much as it is possible when i am offered roles as an actress where i am supposed to kill or torture someone i feel repulsed and decline was this artistic feeling that you had that pushed you to creating creating this charity of yours who knows maybe because nothing new. for nothing i guess it was my natural feeling i was wanted to do something good something. something that can make this world better and i know that that's the best way to start from yourself and when i offered to play in some horror movies and to play killers i really feel

not connected because that's brings a real energy to the screen and the influence of people i want to bring light and love. and so that and so you will never play a cruel woman who suddenly well i don't know who knows maybe if there's a human you know if you change yourself if you become cruel you know not only evil they're all has a human side of it if it shows why the one became. that way and. even better if i could show on the screen hard to transform the human being from bed to go to something something like the silence of the lambs of society or something like that you know i would keep and now i have another quote from dean of course him and it goes like this sometimes i despair of success

because there's no one around i can rely on is this period of uncertainty over all of it is. loads of them and so it's been a better i think it was my it's my years when i was four years ago was no no no yes actually officially four years ago by. we are working as a volunteers for much more. longer. and right now sure that. success mine in my partner is an actress's helps us to be successful you know which i. do you know who those children that you are helping work are they are they in russia or abroad is it is it hard to find a good clinic here in russia. not hard to find good doctors

and most of our children has been killed in russia and russia in russia we can help them here some very difficult cases when we can have our children. we send them abroad israel america germany and now to england as well but. you. try to keep most of the cure or most of the children here in russia because this is the policy this is this is your position or because it's just cheaper in and i mean because of all civil because we have the good doctor because we have this ability to help sixty percent of children who needs to be treated and. and then why not to not to do that. the rest of the children who we can help here with send them abroad unfortunately we don't have enough. fully equipped

morden medical centers we have only a few places where we can really treat patients from start to there and so we hope that much more special clinics would appear in our country that one is would be open first to june two thousand and eleven you're talking about this hematological clinical data center the it is really your center that sponsoring this clinic that you actually we don't think we can see ours because it's our dream then becomes true but actually it's building on the state money the government the government money yes government money but it started from our doctors and from our charity foundation and we still subordinated and we have our health a year before it will be open to rise lots of my knee to buy needed equipment i

know i know you have lots of children of fortune lots of children with with them into our vehicle disease with book does or does will this new clinic so the problem would be able to treat of the children that need help not all no no no because it's just on li sound so that it would be opened in germany. much more. like this one and it's much much smaller country so russia needs a. few more centers like that but at the same time it will be colored big new so we're waiting with them because meant the opening. a real a real lou of the city is here as long as you are admitting immune from absolutely you this is amazing i think for our country absolutely year ago because how many stories like that when. the government really has

a bridge brave brave e.t. to spend millions to build a clinic like that because it will be the best clinic in europe and maybe on some side some parts of it will be the best clinic in the world so it's amazing thing and it will help lots of lots of children that need to be treated you you saw the bird fern the bird that this is amazing is the phone in charity work what's what's the what's your favorite favorite part of this charity charities you work when do you get i mean. rousseau's factually do what. of course agree there's such a faction when you see eyes of happy parents when they say thank you without you guys we couldn't be alive. i am mother of three and there know that is the worst

thing when your kids are sick and children. children. i don't feel that it's not mine that somebody else they are children i feel compassion and know you feel the measure if you see our children if i feel it would natural desire to help and to do anything i can but also the other side of. feeling of being part of the great team everyone is very special everyone is so loved in our charity. from. from one dept of my heart we don't have a stranger it's everyone is really connected to everything what we do and now it's about sixty five people who work in. our foundation and three hundred volunteers and in other maybe thought doctors so it's a great team and to the. honor to this

day we're all together gardening very often and doing lot of events together charity events. charity especially when you deal with cures it's pretty time consuming especially in russia we have to cut a lot of red tape and go through bureaucracy stuff like that do you always have time to do what you have to do for that reason is do you have to to to to make a decision either go help the children or go make some money do some acting. was hard choice to make sometimes it comes to compromise but not to make money or work for my charity to help children mostly should they be today with my own babies or to save some somebody else but actually i have i'm very like you i never. i know a very desperate to make such

a difficult choices are your children your own kids as lucky as your are they as happy as your because for you first is your charity those you work or the other way around know not only then can your children. i think of my children my own children and my foundation at the level one and then my job is on trying to be everywhere i mean between my children and children in our charity to be equal and i mentioned this world giving index in the start of the program in russia russia is quite low it's ranked one hundred thirty eight this is the place that russia. is put by the charities aids foundation in the united kingdom why is it so who do you think that the people here are less compassionate than in the other countries this is a good question i think yes i think we just like to talk about our great pretty

sure i live here and that we. specialized in spirituality and then we have the russian grade so all bar to speak about it and to be ones it's a big difference and i guess we have big but then i mean russian people so i am expecting him to be off on some so you prove this this foundation work charity work is making you pursue mystic about you know her the spirituality of russians they're not prissy mystic it's just makes me realize the fact the realist and moralistic but anyway we never gored an answer no when we ask for help so there's a lot of lots of work to do i mean the rising awareness to help peter people to

isolate state. desires to to do some kind. so that's why we're looking for many more ways to help people to become. charitable so they do a part of an actress and co-founder of the put the reason charity foundation spotlight will be back shortly after a break so stay with us don't go. wealthy british stock. market. can. find out what's really happening to the global economy.

for a no holds barred global financial headlines kaiser report. will include. bringing you the latest in science and technology from around russia. the future covered. welcome back to the spotlight i am helen of in just a reminder that my gears here in the studio today is the chorus and she's the co-founder of the but they're usually some charity foundation and they're one of the top russian actresses today dina we were talking that a minute ago you become if not a. person most to be more realistic about how was it to reason many in russia that

people are not so the russians actually are not sir compassionate as they may seem when you read tolstoy and dusty ascii or even when you talk to them but you said that they are at the same time you said they never say no when you asked for money so so. it is difficult for you actually to raise money what methods that do you have to make the first step is that the problem. it's easier to find money for child specially for you child it's more complicated when we need money for medical facilities and equipment but we're trying to explain people yes it's a very expensive it's a machine it's not a baby it's not a child but with this machines we can save and treat much more children but it's still very difficult yes russia is on

a very last places in. on us there of. charity give. you report the world to giving indexers there the riaa giving you unfortunately it's very disappointing because we used to feel and think that we are great and very spiritual by there's a lot of conscious much more poor even in our africa where people more compassionate and more involved in charities this is a lesson for us. and it's good to talk about it because it can provoke our people to start to give helpful help hand in somebody who needs more because usually people think we've so poor we have so many problems. why we need to help let our. rich russians to do their job lead government to do their job but they

don't understand that life will be much more optimistic and much more joyful if we would be. leave it with open heart and help around you know on my experience it's really fast that when i think about myself and live my life then it's full of problems rail and most on the rail but when i'm completely involved and thinking about others and my life full of joyful projects. let's take a look at some of the problems faced by russian charities and are afforded by spotlights he led him into. the main problem with charities in russia is that twenty years ago they simply did not exist the soviet state took upon it sounds all the responsibility for those in need of help to the collapse of the us the sooner she had to revive the three suv it through pick tradition in trade to

doctor didn't wish to mechanisms for easing mining the gap is still there such established institutions for collecting money isn't done and are almost unheard of in russia until recently it was mainly big businesses which gave out money for charity but is believe bear involvement could be more significant if they were laws which granted tax breaks for philanthropic contributions as for individuals they mostly say they'd prefer to give money directly to those in need missions generally distrust two kinds of funds not being sure where the money ends up. fundraisers say the philosophy of philanthropy still needs to be found in the russian society where given money to charity still rather sporadic their recent financial graces is nevertheless chillis chipped in attitude while major corporations choose to count. it's solutions pending deletions from individuals increased. well

we've just heard that charities have been really used for money laundering and. not are you russia but in russia as well you you you you you know about that well is something being done to improve the legislation to include the supervision of charitable activities in this country. absolutely every charity now go through your audition audition and we as well and we are very transparent and we've proud of him because every person who gives us money they can see their report on our website how much we've got and much we spend and on what since you've been involved in this for a for a really long time now there do you see that the russian state the russian law is starting to somehow stimulate running charitable activities is it is it becoming not only really nice suburban also profitable for business men to to get involved

in charities. i don't understand what you're talking about if you think that to be to be involved in charity it's a profitable that's not right it's this way. situation exists in america when businessman can give a charity a gift of the nation and then they. free from the taxes of the taxes you have all the sanctions most of that only in america it's a very good situation in our country no it's absolutely not profitable not you not in the use so so so the law is not stimulating the years and seen in that way actually if the business wants to to be chargeable and wants to help it's absolutely their desire and i must say that loads of big news and small company lots of reach people. are giving money

not because they want to be famous or they ask p.r. for that not one of them want to be anonymous well i've heard of that and i think you told it. told me about it last time we made into you with you that that lots of people want to be anonymous that you have a lot of anonymous donations why why are people who why don't people in russia want to be famous for their charitable activities. it's an. honest desire of every individual and eve they don't want to say and to be. able. if they don't want to hear thank you it's their desire what can i say why do we discourage the program maybe it's going to tell our russian culture or religion some car when you don't need to be

expecting anything for your good deeds maybe maybe that. i don't know well anyway there are lots of people that are becoming famous for for won't look some different things for for i don't know for for. marriages divorces for being being modeled actors like yourself or whatever but all of it a lot of people becoming famous for being charitable. no no and it's not because they don't need it or they need it it's just because when they involved in a problem which is not so huge like a cancer treatment and they don't need so much of p.r. for the problem so they are not becoming sort of famous we what we're trying to do the problem he uses the foundation we're trying to scream out of loud for the whole

country that we know how to treat cancer we know that it's possible and we want to do it because our everybody's awareness and help we can do it it's expensive it's the more most accent expensive there a p are you trying to are you trying to attract world celebrities to to taking part in your charity well i mean i mean the international stars. know we're not trying but maybe we should and maybe we so as far as i understand your concept is that. a penny from all the people around the world is better than a million from one person who did it for experience no everything is good everything goes out and one for your bank. because every penny goes on children for their treatment and van million also if it's the night it will go for

the children or for the medical facilities that will be useful for them because you said milla to go that may be that you thought that maybe the russian culture of giving donating of helping people is different from the western culture of giving can you can you explain what you mean by a bug eyed different the culture of giving the culture of helping the needy when you mean that the russian culture is different it is not as public people want to be private and so how yes it's either. i do not public i don't want any any p.r. in new. i don't want to be in a spotlight i don't want thank you or it's the opposite. people want people are proud and they want you talking about them and say thank you on every corner but on a west what i support sport. the people who are involved

in charity they do it so naturally they never expect a bigger show around it it's so natural because even in charge gardens children i explain that there's a buddy who needs their help and they ask their parents sold them or i need when you go buy some biscuits because we will bring into the. kindergarten kids in the garden and then it goes. to the poor people and it goes to the. orphans oh i see so so well that it's absolutely a different culture you actually mean that that if if in the worst in the western culture donating and helping the poor is just natural is just is just something you do casually shopping managing director in russia in russia getting a deal it's a big deal whether you want to be anonymous are you want to make you famous you still it's

a big deal for you to don't want any help for most people but i want to also say that lots of people are doing it more in more in a more than a way more easy and simply and don't feel like they do something special i'm personally don't feel that i'm doing anything special i think it's just the nature will a way of being a human being thank you thank you very much dina for being with us and just to remind you that my guest in the studio today was in the car as an actress and co-founder of the but very reason charity. and that's it for now from all of us here if you have yourselves part like we have someone in mind to you feel. i should interview next time to drop me a line and calgary know at. party you and let's give the show interactive we will be back with more time to comment on what's going on in and outside russia until then stay in our team and take care.
