Remember the song that Natasha Koroleva sang? “Little country / Little Country. / Who will tell me who will tell you, / Where is she, where is she? " Utub prompted, posting two new issues almost simultaneously: “Light around the world” (Channel of Svetlana Bondarchuk) and “Solodniki” (channel of Nikolai Solodnikov).
In the first issue, the glamorous light talks with the enthusiastic Natasha Koroleva on the eve of her (Natasha) of the fifty year. In the second - highly spiritual Nikolai Solodnikov, without any reason, listens with his outstanding, as always, guests of the music of Bach, Handel, Penderetsky and reflects on the aesthetics of the ideal.
What is common between them? But the same “small country” - “where the soul is light and clear, where spring is always.” Natasha, with rapture, tells about her happy creative life. Kolya, as usual, cries from touching the beautiful. And my head is spinning a phrase from a hackneyed joke: “Eh, throw everything to hell and leave” ... No, not in Uryupinsk, but where, according to the song, “a miracle lake sparkles, there is no evil and grief there.”
Of course, in my life I would not watch an interview with Natasha Koroleva if I did not know that she was a Kiev woman. Born, grew, took the first steps on the stage in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, after February 24, she did not indicate in any way ... No, not a position, well, what is Natasha Koroleva a position? -And at least his sadness in connection with what is happening in his homeland, the alarm for the remaining loved ones there ... at least something ...
The announcement promises an interview about nostalgia, warm mood and love. Both ladies chirped cheerfully at the set table on the emerald lawn in the Koroleva suburban estate. The singer recalls the most unusual birthday gifts, dashingly climbs on a giant decorative green elephant (a gift of her beloved husband), anticipates anniversary surprises.
Excursion into childhood is executed by bright nostalgic emotions:
“My childhood was beautiful. My Soviet childhood. I am one of those people who are nostalgic for the country that is no longer ... I am such a girl Natasha from Kyiv. ”
In Kyiv, the girl Natasha was also wonderful: a large friendly family, a choir who introduced her to academic music, the first teenage love that was reflected in the song "Kiev boy, where are you, where are you?" (Here you involuntarily tremble, imagining where that Kiev boy can now be. A terrible thing is context).
The interviewer finally carefully actualizes the blessed agenda: “Do you communicate with one of the people from your childhood now?” Natasha, without changing either a contented facial expression or joyful intonation, reports that she communicates with a girlfriend from Kyiv, with brothers, aunt -
“No matter what ... as if in our family, I am a diplomat. I will settle some difficult things ... I feel like laurel in my family, because someone must take this mission. Life - it continues and does not end today, and that it is comfortable and harmonious to us all to live on, here we must be able to be very diplomatic. ”
The topic is exhausted. One can understand one thing from the words of the heroine: some difficulties arose in their family, and it is Natasha who tries to resolve them, using her diplomatic abilities, which, however, does not interfere with her personally and today it is comfortable and harmonious to live in her small country, where the harmony, love and work of the wife, the stripper of Tarzan, who suddenly discovered the gift of the picturesque, reign.
Nikolai Solodnikov is also in harmony with the world and with himself. The help of this is a great art that makes him sob with delight. Moreover, on one row with Fuga Bach and Sarabanda Handel, Solodnikov also gets a song from the cartoon "Blue Puppy". “Oh, I cried good today,” he admits with satisfaction in the final of the program, wiping his eyes wet from tears. His wonderful guests - Yuri Norshtein, Naum Kleiman and Evgeny Zharinov - although they do not cry, but with pleasure they share his enthusiasm with Kolya, raising the glasses from time to time and proclaiming toasts. For example, this: "Let's drink to Alla Pugacheva’s cold."
What does any cold have to do with it, when Pugacheva has a serious problem for Pugacheva today? Maybe they so allegorically express the support of the disgraced singer? Not at all. It’s just that the program is talking about music in the cinema and, in particular, about the inimitable performance of Pugacheva romances in the film “The Irony of Fate”. It turns out that during their recording, the singer was cold, sang in an undertone, and therefore a masterpiece turned out.
I will not hide, listen to smart, many knowledgeable, thin people are always pleasant. In peacetime, there would be no price of such conversations.
But today, something prevents you from fully enjoying their wisdom and erudition, and this “something” is a complete and demonstrative ignoring of the context, in which this fascinating unhurried conversation of cultural masters stems.
Strange. After all, from their own experience, they outlined what prohibitions, censorship and the inability to do what they love are. In principle, there is nothing to be afraid of them - there is a big life, worthy of life. Moreover, it is impossible to believe that what is happening today outside the windows of a cozy art workshop where the shooting is taking place, they are not at all worried. Most likely, they simply play according to the conditions specified by the host: not a word about low, momentary, beauty will save the world, art - our everything. This, of course, is not Gorgonzole with Marakuya - in some ways, the absolute “masterpiece” of Solodnikov in communicating with the aesthetically ideal Alena Doletskaya, but close to that.
The audience of the Solodniki channel, by the way, likes such an introduction to high. They write in the comments: “Nikolay, you drink, and you have tears, and we just sob. With such meetings you tear our hearts to us. ”
