“14 years ago I first came to Moscow, signed the pictures Panayotov. — Pass through the turnstiles in the Moscow metro was then the tokens. Remember when going to Kiev to go to Moscow for the first time, found a home token (someone brought it back from Moscow and gave as a souvenir). And I thought to myself: this is how Moscow pass through the turnstile so Moscow me and accept. And what was my surprise when in a magical moment of bombarding token turnstile is broken. I immediately sensed that this city is not really me and waited… But I’m “invincible” was already a confident and rushed to a Moscow vault, thinking that all will certainly be OK. Okay not happened. The contest “Become a star”, unfortunately for me back then and luckily for me, present for me ended in nothing. Not counting the wonderful people that are friends even to this day.

The hotel was for us with Xana not afford, and we spent the night in the Park at VDNKH on the bench. The coldest nights of our lives. But it is not forgotten. I passed. Then it was all so fast. Ivan Urgant, Thekla Thick, Larisa Dolina, Anton Komolov, Jack Friedland, Kim Breitburg, Tigran Keosayan. And my wonderful children, my sisters and brothers in the competition, my family. When we were young, green and believed in a bright and cloudless future. Naive. Although it was at first…”
