The inhabitants of the "Russian House" succeeded at the Olympics in secular disciplines

Despite the fact that the Russian Olympians won only fourth place in the team standings, Russian fans in demonstrations in secular disciplines in the territory of the Russian House and the stands of stadiums held strong leadership among the guests of the Olympiad, the Kommersant newspaper reports.

Every evening in the "Russian House" the ensemble was played by Valery Syutkin. And thanks to the immortal hits of different years, every evening with success. Since the restaurant of the “Russian House” every evening on the new identical jeeps of Audi Q7 gathered people in the same clothes to listen to the same music to the same cocktails and snacks, what was happening pretty much like a “groundhog day”. Nevertheless, as the newspaper notes, every evening something was different from others.

On Wednesday, for example, the Rosgosstrakh company arranged an amateur Kerling Championship. It was attended by four teams gathered from people poorly representing what exactly they would have to do. For persuasiveness, each of the teams was invited by the participant in the Russian national team in Kerling. The Syutkin-Band team, consisting of the musicians of the collective of Mr. Syutkin, was more successful than others.

On the day of the defender of the Fatherland, lawyer Pavel Astakhov and his wife and youngest son came to Turin. The representative of the President of the Russian Federation on the development of relations with the European Union, Sergei Yastrzhembsky, flew, as he told everyone, to cheer up for hockey players. For the same purpose, the head of the expert department of the President of the Russian Federation Arkady Dvorkovich and his wife and daughters, film director Nikita Mikhalkov, TV presenter Alexei Pimanov, owner of Pleiades Group, Alexander ShURUP, and State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein, whose surname for some reason brought the inhabitants of the Bosco-house to trembling.

Immediately upon the arrival of Lord Astakhov, Mikhalkov and others went to figure skating competitions in an arbitrary program among women. Irina Slutskaya that evening got only bronze. The upset Mr. Tyagachev went to dinner at one of the restaurants in the center of Turin in the company of a member of the Federation Council Ralifa Safin. The rest from the stadium went to the "Russian House", where they tried to devote all men to the actor Oleg Yankovsky (he was 62 years old).

At this time, Mr. Fetisov came to the Russian House. Leonid Yarmolnik attacked him: "Glory, did you bring the jam to which we beat Canadians?" "And I had to?" - Mr. Fetisov asked doubtfully. Oleg Yankovsky at that time looked at the Golden Olympic Medal, which was brought with him by Svetlana Zhurova. Madam Zhurova willingly shared with the surrounding her joy: she allowed to stroke the medal, take a picture with her, and herself posed with pleasure in front of the lens. As a result, one of the guests came up with a finger in a hole from the medal and make a desire. Even Mr. Mikhalkov, who all the time that Mr. Yankovsky celebrated his birthday in the closed hall of the restaurant, was sitting at the table on the terrace with Alexei Pimanov, took part in this.

When the event left Nikita Mikhalkov, Mr. Taranda announced the arrival of Mrs. Slutskaya. All those present prepared to meet her with applause. But ten minutes passed, and Irina Slutskaya never appeared. There was a rumor around the hall that the head of Bosco di Ciliegi Mikhail Kusnirovich could hardly persuade her to go to the Russian House, and the skater even managed to cry when she got out of the car, but in the restaurant hall she did not find the strength to appear.

The next evening, the mood in the "Russian House" was oppressive. “I watched two games on TV and decided to come to watch this hockey,” Mr. Shudovich shared his impressions of the national team’s game. “But it was a completely different team, I did not know that there were two of them.” The US citizen Sudraovich tried to support the Russian team on the stands, where, together with Gediminas Taranda, he beat the drum and shouted peppy river.

With his usual half-smile, he left the stadium after Russia lost Finland, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Zhukov, and the President of the Foressgbank Andrei Kostin was so worried about the game that Okrip and sipped. “Tomorrow I’ll fly the first flight!” Sergey Yastrzhembsky convinced himself and others. “It's just nonsense.” Trying to overcome universal depression, Valery Syutkin and his musicians worked as they should work out to Russian hockey players. In the breaks between the songs, Valery Syutkin called for rejoice at the silver medal of the Chepalova skiers. And the song "But we do not care."

On Saturday, Leonid Tyagachev arrived at the Russian House with the manager of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Kozhin in order to present bouquets and certificates for diamonds from Alrosa to the athletes to the athletes. Evgeny Plushenko, Vladimir Lebedev, Julia Chepalova, Tatyana Navka and Roman Kostomarov, In addition to the regulars, the singer Oleg Gazmanov, the president of Kuzbass Ruzrazugol, Andrei Bokarev, president of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine Sergey Bubka, Arthur Chinkarov and others, came to see this, in addition to the regulars.

But the main guest was the president of the International Olympic Committee Jacques Rogge. Deputy Prime Minister Zhukov, representing the interests of the Sochi-2014 committee (this city is planned to be made by the capital of the Winter Olympics), could not restrain himself and complained to Mr. Rogge to lose the Finnish hockey players. The President of the IOC conciliatively remarked: "Well, now you understand how insulting it was Canadians and Americans."

At this time, Mr. Tyagachev tried to introduce his wife to Mr. Rogge, but the deputy prime minister involuntarily prevented this: the icon with the emblem of the Sochi 2014 committee, he began to attach him to Latskan Jacques Rogge. Leonid Tyagachev, not at a loss, picked up the idea - in his hand a box with an icon in the form of Olympic rings made of precious metals immediately appeared in his hand. Having stood a little near the table with a black caviar, Mr. Rogge left the event, receiving goodbye to a jacket from Bosco Sport with fox fur.

And in the evening, as part of the reception from Vneshotorgbank, Prince Jordan Hamza bin al-Hussein and ex-Korol of Greece Konstantinos and his wife visited the “Russian House”. However, their visit was overshadowed by the appearance of Russian hockey players. The Czech Republic losing on this day with a score of 3-0 hockey players began to noisily celebrate the 33rd anniversary of their captain Alexei Kovalev. He was awarded a snowboard from Bosco, however, it was not very clear from the face of the birthday person whether he was pleasant to a gift. After half an hour, players in chorus performed songs from Soviet cartoons.
