"Everyone is happy on Rublevka"
Svetlana Kuritsyna-about show business, drugs, television and longing for the air
The heroine of the famous video in Runet Svetlana Kuritsyna (Sveta from Ivanov) continues to work on NTV, but already behind the scenes. The activist of the Prochrevsky movement "Our" was glorified by the correspondent of Moscow News, taking an impromptu interview from her after a rally on the triumphal square in Moscow. Her phrases “we began to dress more better” and “began to sow more lands” became winged and firmly associated not only with Kuritsyna, but also with the United Russia party, for which a girl from Ivanov called for vote. Its popularity crossed the boundaries of the Internet when Svetlana got to the NTV TV channel, where almost a year and a half was transferred to the Ray of Light.
The idea to make the Runet star a TV presenter belongs to the head of the NTV company Vladimir Kulistikov. A simple -minded, uncouth, with an assertive character, Svetlana asked uncomfortable questions sophisticated celebrities. The pilot release of the Ray Light program in the summer of 2012 showed in Moscow the best rating among programs broadcasting in prime time. The program caused an ambiguous reaction among critics, but lasted on the air for a year and a half. In 2014, the "beam of light" was removed from the NTV grid, and Kuritsyn was thrown into other programs.

-We returned from somewhere in the business trip, writing down the next program "Ray of Light". I went home, slept, at five o’clock in the evening they called, arrived in Ostankino, and they told me: "Well, here, the project is closing." I can’t say that something sank with me, I have not yet thought of what happened. When I recovered, I was transferred to another Entevehch project "I am losing weight." She starred there, “lied” for six months, only in March 2014 I came to the realization of what happened. It was terribly bad for me, good turned up a free ticket to Thailand, my friend paid, and I flew to Bangkok to fight depression. At first I felt like a drug addict who lost a dose. I stayed there for a week: the sun, the ocean, the beaches, it was good, I did not want to return to Moscow, but I had to.

- Let's get back in 2012. Who and where suggested that you become a host of the NTV program? By this time, your popularity on the Web was running out, the video on YouTube scored several million views ...
-I took part in the Internet show "Minaev-Life", there was such a program of writer Minaev. After the transfer to me, a man came up and said that "there is such a proposal, would you like to try as a presenter on the federal channel? There is where to spend the night so that you meet you tomorrow?" At that time, I met people who could stay, spent the night, at two o’clock I had a meeting. And after a week we had already begun to remove the pilot version.
- How did your meeting with Vladimir Kulstikov go? How did he convince? What did you say? The legs trembled?
-You know, he immediately reassured, humanly said: "Do not be afraid, everything will be fine!" - After these words, you are not afraid of anything at all. I call him my godfather on television, I am madly grateful to him! If not for this person, I don’t know what I would do now.
- Why did their choice stopped at you? Thinking about it?
- I consider it wrong to ask such things: why exactly me. If you are chosen, then you are the person who should be in the frame, you saw something in you. There are no questions.
- They gave you a microphone and ordered: "FAS!"
- That's right. For example, I came to the event and did everything I wanted. She could dance, despite the fact that everyone was sitting and turning away their faces, could sing without getting into the notes. I did not give a damn! .. And people liked it, I liked it, I liked the program. Letters came to me in packs. Someone even sent a catalog of their songs so that I perform them.

- What was the script of the pilot project?
- We arrived at the Gusyatnikov restaurant. I, director and two operators. I met Zhirinovsky for the first time, met. He said: "Oh, I know you!" At that time, everything was blocked and the tower completely demolished! (laughs) honestly! How so? Yesterday I saw them on TV, and today they all go in front of me, and I can do something, then ask! There was such a moment when on the very first shooting day the photographer hit the camera on my head. True, then my guys clamped him. I got confused under my feet, walked here and here, and who I am, and he is with the stars for so many years, he is a professional ... The first person on this party, by the way, whom I caught, was Singer Shura. My mother liked all his life, talked with other people, sometimes they asked me: oh, and ask for that. And so you can approach the star and ask: "And for how much did you buy a dress today?" And then the person writes to you or calls you and says: "Oh, thank you for asking!" It was also nice. It's like a stars advice to a simple person.
- The next day you woke up by the NTV star?
-My birthday is July 20, and the first broadcast was released on the 21st. We broke all the ratings, all federal channels, the whole Internet wrote about it. Then I did not know what ratings were, I did not care. Then I understood. Everyone praised, said: well done, well done. Another highest point was the moment when they signed the second season to us. From summer to winter, we worked, until the New Year, and when they say that they prolong the project, then you feel that here, you really could do something! This is such the highest point that you lasted! In the same period, other projects on TV were opened, they were closed, and you were left. You understand that it's cool. I worked for three seasons.
“ Did you face show business faces?” What impression did he make on you?
- Disappointed. At first it seemed to me that everything is so good, so beautiful, everyone loves each other! And now I probably will not pick up words to ... some dirty swamp with vile and false people. There are decent people, but few. Basically there are people who smile, and then in the back you can stick a knife. For example, the situation: friends communicate, everything is good, wonderful, hang out, but as soon as they quarreled, they pour dirty dirt on each other, although they ate from the same plate, slept in the same bed. Yes, you are silent, why ... And they are still promoting, the oils are poured into the fire so that it is hotter, it is worse to fill the rating for themselves.
Some dirty swamp with vile and false people
- What was the most averted in the show of business?
- Drugs. More precisely, people who use drugs. This is vile. You always have a choice, you know how it ends. You are a star, many look at you. And you are doing such terrible things.
- Have you ever tried grass, pill?
- Do I look like a drug addict?! Of course, God protect me from this. I will never do such things. If my parents find out, I will be crains. Returning to this party, I realized that I swear a lot. This is the worst quality in me. I talk to you and periodically pick up some words so as not to gnaw out. I used to use less these words. In show business only they say. I would like to unlearn the mat, but you come to work and understand that you will never study in life.
- What installation did you set for yourself when you got on a star party?
- You know, I had a desire to belittle them, to lower them, knowing that they are not the same as in reality. From the very beginning! I liked to stem them. It didn’t always work out, but it was a buzz! I probably asserted me at the expense of this: you see, I'm not stupid, in fact there is still dumber! And there were moments when someone ran away, knowing that I would have tricky questions, someone did not even fit a kilometer, and someone, on the contrary, “Oh, I know you ...” Come on, urine! That is, ask questions.
- These were the highest moments of your life?
- Yes. I liked to communicate with adults who passed fire, water and copper pipes, these are stars of the 80s, 90s, sometimes forgotten. It is interesting to talk to them how they first went on tour, gave concerts, and performed on the radio. Here with these now climbing stars, one-day, it is not interesting with them! And there was such an attitude towards me, some did not hide - where did I come from, and who I am in general, and how I appeared on the federal channel. I go to the party, Katya Lel, Evelina Bledans and Alika Smekhova stood there, then there was a dark -haired one, I saw them on TV before, either nervous, or something else, and I started, stammering, asking questions. And they began to laugh. I did not show it, I freaked out, turned around, left, darkened, pulled myself together. Well, this is my program, what I want, then I create.
- Was it a strong blow to your pride?
- Not strong. I swallowed it. But then I gathered, I came up and ask Katya Lel the question: "Are you all in show business such bitch?" (laughs) And here the person understood! It was a second or third gear, even on television it was possible to be tucked up, now it was completely removed. And she was confused. But I honestly say, I did what I wanted, asked any questions. There was a producer nearby, but he simply, if something happens, could tell. But rarely someone told me, everything went from my head. What the chip was, from the very beginning I realized that they launched me and said: do everything you want, you have two operators, a team.
"Are you all in show business such bitches?" And here the person understood!
- Who made a good impression on you?
- Lolita! I am not tired of talking about this person. She is simple and very cool! She gave me a lot of advice. I had moments when I roared in front of her, and she said: “Don’t worry, everything will be fine! But I have ...” Not everyone is so frank.
- It is important for you what are they thinking and talking about you?
- Oh, before, you just can’t imagine ... I was probably like a piece of meat for journalists! The phones were just cut off! I am talking on the phone, I have a second line, immediately the third ... Especially in the first days, when it all started. Then they began to call up to their mother, both to the whole family, and on social networks they wrote. And after the yutyub, and when they found out that I would be leading to the NTV. It was just tin! When I read some things to myself, I said: "I have never said it! Why do they write such bad things?!" And they told me: "Baby, do not worry! Do not read just. The main thing is not on the last page." And now I have a chip such when they say to me: "Light, they wrote about you!" - I say: "Okay?" -"No, something is not very good." - "The main thing is not on the last page." (laughs)
- You were on Rublevka?
- Naturally! When I come there, I directly feel that this is my place! I want to stay there forever. And in the houses there was, in these gorgeous ones. Sometimes you think: do people really have so much money?! Of course, there are houses that do not roll for ruble at all, not very much in appearance, but outside with taste. And I got there with the program, and I have friends who live there. It’s calm there ... I understand why all rich people want to leave from this Moscow at least Rublevka. There is really calm, there is cleaner air. There is really cool!
- When you fall into the rich houses on Rublevka, for example, you see many books on the shelves, do you have a desire to have such a library?
- I have not seen the library with these people. Do you know what came to my mind when I got rich at home? I understand, it would be more correct to say, I came to a huge house, I saw a fabulous library, if only I would have such ... books, books ... To be honest, other thoughts came to my mind. To rob, rob so much dough and live so beautifully.
Other thoughts came to mind. To rob, rob so much dough and live so beautifully
- Are these people on Rublevka happy?
- I think who live on Rublevka, everyone is happy.
- Have you seen happy people in your small town in Volzhsk, where you were born and raised?
- Yes, I saw such people who will never move to Moscow and another city too. But I did not understand the secret of their happiness, I did not understand the people who live in small towns and never wanted to leave there.
- What happened to your environment when you became famous? Were there parties with previous friends and acquaintances?
- The number of fans has increased, but not the ones that need. It’s like suction: something needs to be eaten from you. I did not immediately understand this, it seemed to me that these are friends, they all love me, I am so cool! Everyone said to me: "Sveta, do you see?" I realized after some time that I do not need to trust anyone. I have my own circle, which I trust, who does not give a damn, who I am and what I am. For the rest, she rebuilt the distance, from close friends and ending with distant, unknown. I don’t even know why ... There was a lot of incomprehensible, there was little of them for conversations, they always asked how much I earn, with whom I communicate. It was insanely annoying! I had to move away from these people. I would say that 95 percent changed my environment. I have friends with whom I communicate, you can count on the fingers. These are close friends that I can contact in any situation.
- Do you know the feeling of envy?
- Familiar. The most disgusting is a feeling of envy! And the owls, liar - I hate! Book in hell! (laughs) I do not like envious people, to communicate with them vilely. They always compare, look for something ... Fu, I do not love them! I also envied, yes, it was, but I envy not with black envy, but white. Rather, I rejoice, in the sense that well done, what they did, and why not me did, but they, although I could do. And envy is more in a good direction than in bad.
- Are you three years ago and today are different people?
- Absolutely different people! Moscow broke me, honestly. I never thought that I would be closed, I would have apathy for people. I do not like to be in places where there are many people, I do not go to any events, I do not go to clubs. This is the constant pressure of some incomprehensible people ... did not break, but bent. Of course, I can pull myself together and start all over again, but there is probably no incentive.
- That guy, a journalist of Moscow News, Evgeny Gladin, who glorified you with the help of a video, how do you feel about him now?
- No way! There is, there is no him ... Everyone is asked a question, and I'm tired of answering him. He did not make me, he did only some part. He did 25 percent, he made television 25 percent, it was NTV, I did 25 percent, and my relatives made 25 percent.
- If it were not for this random video shot at a rally in support of United Russia, your fate would have developed differently?
“Well, no one knows what would happen.” Maybe in five years I would become a famous actress. I dreamed about the stage, but I knew that I had no money, no rich relatives, there are no opportunities to be on stage. We all know that it is either by acquaintance, or through some other things! And you just won’t get on the TV. This is one for a million! It is you who should be either insanely talented from God, or pharmacy, like me, for example, or you must be a millionaire.
- Do you know a star disease?
- I had it, but quickly passed. Each person must probably feel her on himself. I had disgusting behavior. For example, I came to the shooting, and if the star did not come, I began to yell: "Well, where is she? Why did I come, but she was not?!" Sometimes I just did not want to work, I worked "I don’t want to." But they immediately told me: you will behave like that - we will find another light from Ivanovo, and you will go back! And everything was smoothed out! (laughs) quickly put in place. But they always told me, for example: you are the only one at the moment, but if you mowed under these all glamorous chicken, under these stars, you will be uninteresting to people. People always need something new, and nobody needs glamorous.
- That is, you took over the role of a girl from the people.
- Yes. Most likely, they attributed it to me, I did not take it. We have as used to: the king, the queen, the prince ... And they gave me a girl from the people - such an role. Apparently, it took root. From a very, very small town. Where there are not even charms! And I like this role. If the people gave me this role, if they like to call me so much, then let it be so. I never wanted to wash myself from something.
King, Queen, Prince ... And they gave me a girl from the people - such an role
- Can I say that you were used? Created the image of such a simple -minded girl from the people from the series "What I see, then I sing"?
- This was probably a mutually beneficial deal. It is beneficial to me, these people are beneficial. We all fucked what we wanted: I am fame, they are ratings. But everyone solves the ratings, agree. Ratings are our everything! Now I'm without ether. I also work on television, only behind the scenes.
- Are you suffering? Honestly.
- I suffer. Honestly, I suffer.
- Your civil activity brought you to the triumphal square. You remember that day in Ivanovo, when serious boys came to you and said: “We must join the“ ours ”and support“ United Russia ”.
- I studied, lived in a hostel, my girl was in this movement, and she said: "Light, let's go with me once." We had a meeting there, and I liked it, smart, educated, adults, intelligent people. I liked to communicate with them. It was fun there! We did not discuss clubs, not anyone muddied with which guy, and there real things were discussed. И я спросила: "Ой, а можно я в следующий раз приду?" – "Приходи".
– Вы понимали тогда что-то в политике?
– Сначала вообще ничего не понимала. Мы же не только политическими делами занимались, а еще и другими, благотворительностью, и закрытием казино, и детскими домами, делали выставки, экскурсии. Понимание пришло постепенно. И я не жалею, никогда ни о чем не жалею! Что случилось, то случилось. Стала ходить на акции, в декабре приехали в Москву, там и родился этот ролик. Конечно, меня назвали и хабалкой, и монстром… Но я хороший, спокойный, замечательный человек! Себя не похвалишь – никто не похвалит!
Я не жалею, никогда ни о чем не жалею! Что случилось, то случилось
– Политические ориентиры у вас не поменялись?
– Нет, не поменялись. А на что менять? Я бы и сейчас все то же ответила, только переформулировала, наверное. И на акцию или митинг пошла бы. Мне было бы просто интересно, что люди обсуждают там. За политикой слежу, иногда по работе приходится смотреть. Но я ее не комментирую никак. Могу что-то поддерживать, могу не поддерживать, сейчас стала выбирать, что говорить о политике, а что не говорить.
– Жизнь в России улучшилась? Я пытаюсь вам напомнить слова из вашего ролика.
– Улучшилась. Недавно такая ситуация была. Я брала интервью, бабка меня увидела, бежит на меня, что-то орет: "Вот ты дрянь, вот ты сучка три года назад говорила, а я вот живу плохо, она стоит тут интервью дает". Вообще-то я брала в тот момент интервью, было как-то неприятно. Люди злые, в большинстве своем обижены.
– Если вас спросит кто-нибудь, почему голосовать за Путина, у вас есть ответ?
- Yes. Потому что я так хочу.
– Это не убедительно.
– Думаю, найду что сказать, подберу нужные слова. Сейчас не буду говорить, не хочу отвечать на этот вопрос. Скажу что-то не то… мне потом будет не очень хорошо. Проходить все заново? Надо хорошо подумать, иначе появится ролик номер два про Свету из Иваново. Правда, не знаю, что лучше в данный момент.
– Чем вы конкретно сейчас занимаетесь на НТВ?
– Программа называется "Ты не поверишь", я делаю там все… Тебе надо спродюсировать, договориться о встречах, снять, расписать и отдать на монтаж, сама придумываю сюжет, полностью делаю тему. Я просто уже не могу представить свою жизнь без телевидения. Представьте: до этого ты ничего не умел, нигде не работал, ничем не занимался, а потом пришел на телевидение, обучился какому-то своему делу и потом уйти куда-то… Если уходить, то куда-то… замуж! (смеется) Уходить только замуж и рожать детей. И так я не вижу своей жизни без телевидения.
– Родители гордятся вами?
– Родители гордятся. Но мама иногда говорит, что она жалеет, что пустила меня на телевидение. Она видела же, как я страдаю, как мне хочется домой, как мне тяжело. Мне действительно на данный момент тяжело, но я не жалуюсь ни в коем случае. Это для меня какой-то урок, какая-то новая школа. И все-таки не сидеть же на попе ровно, и за тебя кто-то что-то будет делать. Если я хочу добиться больших успехов, я хочу быть, например, стать гуру журналистики, я буду идти маленькими шажочками, биться головой об стену, но я сделаю все, чтобы быть либо известной-преизвестной журналисткой, которая утрет всем нос и покажет: вот, я приехала такой, а стала такая, и вы все будете за мной бегать и просить интервью, просить слова.
– Вы уже добились многого. Я у вас беру интервью.
– Ну, это маленько не то. Я, видимо, обнаглела, но мне хочется большего.
