After 5-year hiatus, leading again appeared in the project “heads and tails”. Zhanna badoeva was one of the originators of the popular travel show in the country. Five years ago Badoev left the project, but this year, she received an offer that she gladly accepted.

At the end of may on the channel “Friday!” started the season for the first time on Russia. To explore the country went Joan and her stellar co-host. Especially for the “StarHit” Badoev has shared his impressions of the trip. It turned out that in the first weeks with her, so much has happened… you have enough Material to write a whole book. The star first tried pickled watermelon, took a bath in beer and even almost crashed in the glider.

Krasnodar: to remember the lessons of basketball

“Generally, sport and I are incompatible – smiles Jeanne. But while studying at school in Lithuania a mandatory lesson we had basketball. Gymnastics, I used to walk, each time coming up with a new reason for the absence. And when skip did not, had to learn to throw the ball in the basket. On the set of “the eagle and tails” in Krasnodar, I accidentally met with the local basketball team and decided to remember his childhood. Tried to throw the ball, as he did in school, and in the end still got it”.

Pyatigorsk: emergency glider

“Shooting in Pyatigorsk I will remember for a lifetime, especially paragliding, continues Badoev. – I’m a terrible coward, so from all the extreme sports almost always refuse. I still want to live, you know… But the instructor somehow miraculously persuaded me. As a psychologist, she reassured me, asked me not to worry because we will fly together in one bundle. But when we were already hitched to a parachute, I was gripped by terrible fear. Needed as soon as possible to accelerate and even during take-off leg should be actively “running” in the air, because, first, a glider can carry us, and then slumped down to the ground. We moved limbs that have the power, ahead was a cliff, a glider lifted us up, and then really began to drop down. Screaming like crazy, and already said goodbye to life, but the wind blew and we raced. Inside, everything ached, I cursed myself for agreeing to do this risky journey. But then he took himself in hand, relaxed and a few minutes of our glider already smoothly flew over fields and forests. At some point, even experienced happiness from the flight, but forever, on earth said “no” to any extreme experiments. However, then I was waiting for the reward in the form of a bath created of marble, which was brought from Italy especially for Nicholas II. I love unconventional treatments for themselves, to be in such bath is very useful. They say that the Emperor did not have time to sit.”

Astrakhan: torture black caviar

“In Astrakhan, I attended a private fish plant which produces black caviar, – says a leading. – It turned out that tasting it without bread and very simple method – a small amount of caviar put on the fist and then lick it off. Had to eat a huge amount to remove the desired effect of the program. In the end I became ill. During the “forced wine” I simply overeaten her. Also in Astrakhan, I was able to try pickled watermelon. Later it turned out, I am almost the only person who never tried. Moreover, I did not even imply their existence. Tastes like canned pepper, sweet, with a sweet-sour taste.”

Kazan: cooking Chuck-Chuck

“On the set of “the eagle and tails” in Kazan, I was able to personally prepare the Tatar national dish chak-chak – smiles Jeanne. Chef, of course, of me another one, but why not? It was very tasty and satisfying. By the way, say that to Chuck-Chuck is more suitable for tea than coffee. To do it simply, but hardly a house in Italy I will be able to independently replicate… Then thanks to the filming of the show I was in the Kazan puppet theater, one of the most beautiful and largest in the former Soviet Union. Last time in this place was four or five years of age, but I remember vaguely. The performances are in Russian and Tatar languages. Hall is constantly crowded. I even managed to rehearse together with local actors. Was exciting”.

Kaliningrad: bath with beer

“Even during the filming of “battle of the salons” on the channel “Friday!”, I learned that there is such a procedure, but only thanks to the “Eagle and tails” in Kaliningrad, I was lucky enough to experience it for yourself. Brewer’s yeast soften, smoothen the skin and filled with vitamins. A bath volume of 100 liters is filled with beer and diluted with water. When you are in the ship, near the tap where you pour beer. Two pleasures in one lie in the intoxicating beverage and drink it in parallel. I’m not fond of the alcohol, so I cooked the brew. For the frame in my glass all the time its refilled. In the end, ten minutes later felt dizzy, the drink began to operate on me in a strange way. As it turned out, instead of the kvass I drank the beer. Yes, in the end, the crew got me drunk. Everyone laughed”.

Vladivostok: far from civilization

“I would never have thought that in today’s world people can live without the Internet, says Badoev. – It turns out that it can afford and even live well. During the filming of “eagle and tails” in Vladivostok, I went to the village of Krasny Yar on the helicopter. By car to go 12 hours on the helicopter – three hours in one direction, three in another, with a stopover for refueling. And even sail boat. Last time you flew in a helicopter to nice from the airport for 15 minutes. But then six hours. Was not myself. There he met with local residents, a pleasant and very friendly. As it turned out, in this village, people live without the Internet. There is simply no. And residents said they are very happy… In the end of the trip to Vladivostok I was lucky enough to go to sea on a yacht where Fedor Konyukhov made a tour around the world. Indescribable emotions!”
