Sergei Safronov, an illusionist, divorced his wife. Sergei Safronov, biography, news, photos

The path to fame and recognition

Nikas was born in Ulyanovsk into a military family. Already in early childhood he showed interest in drawing. He copied illustrations from textbooks and books. Having matured, Nikas began to embody on paper his dreams of travel and adventure.

After receiving secondary education, Safronov goes to Odessa, where he enters the naval school. Having not completed his studies, he goes to Rostov-on-Don. There he joined the ranks of art school students. After the first year he is drafted into the army. After returning to civilian life, Safronov moves to Panevezys, his mother’s hometown. There he works as a graphic designer. Then Nikas goes to Vilnius, where he enters the art academy at the faculty of design.

After receiving his diploma, he leaves for Moscow. There he joined the ranks of students at the Moscow Academic Art Institute.

The artist’s first exhibition took place in the early 70s, the next – 6 years later in Vilnius.

World fame came to him in the 90s, after demonstrating a series of works called “River of Time”.

In 2020, Safronov opened his own art school. It is located in Moscow, on Bryusov Lane.

A year ago, the exhibition “Other Worlds” opened at the Museum of Contemporary History. Nikas's works were appreciated.

Next we will talk about the personal life of Nikas Safronov.

The first wife of Nikas Safronov is Dragana

Nikas met his first wife in Moscow. At that time he was studying at the art institute. A girl named Dragana came to the capital as tourists. She was from a wealthy Yugoslav family and studied at the Sorbonne to become a philologist. She spoke Russian perfectly.

In an interview, Nikas admitted that Dragana was not his type, but he was struck by the spirit of conquest. After a while, the couple legalized their relationship. The wedding was gorgeous. Nikas admitted that the girl’s parents spent fabulous money at that time - about $200 thousand. The marriage lasted 20 days. Safronov ran away from his wife during their honeymoon. He immediately filed for divorce. But they were officially divorced only after 2 years, since Dragana was against the separation.

A few months later, he met a new love - Angela, a Scottish woman. Nikas admits that he was head over heels in love. Their relationship lasted for a very long time, if not for a short-term affair with an American woman. The girl turned out to be insidious. She told Angela that she was expecting a child from Nikas. This ended the affair with the Scottish woman.

Nikas Safronov: I divorced my first wife after 20 days. Part 2

The Observer continues the conversation with the famous artist Nikas Safronov. In the first part of the interview, read about what Safronov thinks about President Yanukovych, how much his paintings cost and who gave him a Ferrari for half a million dollars for the portrait he painted.

You are often criticized by your colleagues and art critics. How do you deal with criticism?

I read in one of your newspapers (they gave it to me on the plane) statements by three artists. One said: “I like Nikas, I would love to go to his exhibition.” Another: “I don’t like his painting, it’s polished, but I’ll go out of curiosity.” A third said he was a fan of mine. But this is a very amateurish approach to an artist of such a level as me, because it is necessary to consider not a single aspect of my creativity, but a wide range. For example, I have a series of portraits called “River of Time”. It was created on the basis of classical art: I drew from nature in a museum, and then transformed it into certain images, introducing elements of the faces of different people - my friends, acquaintances or simply famous people. That's why my painting is diverse. Sometimes people don’t understand this and it’s difficult for them to classify me into any genre.

And yet, how do you take criticism?

I can say with confidence: only an idiot, or an amateur, or a biased person can say about a famous, accomplished artist that he is bad. This is either envy, which usually happens, or stupidity. You can’t talk without seeing all of his work, you know?

Leonardo has 12 paintings - and not all are perfect. The hand is not like that, the body is somehow incomprehensible, either a woman or a man... But he is a genius, at least in his “La Gioconda”. And everything else can also be brilliant, at least in fragments.

Michelangelo has a huge number of unsuccessful works. The ingenious leg is the short arm, the small head of the sculpture. But he created David, he created the Sistine Chapel - and that is enough to remain in history. Therefore, one cannot judge the creativity of, say, The Eagles, without hearing “Hotel California.” It will always be biased. Or even about The Beatles - if we take not their best works, but at random. Someone, of course, will object and say: “No, I would always understand.” In fact, this is not true. They started with toilet rims around their necks to attract attention. But, nevertheless, they are brilliant musicians.

In fact, art in general is very conventional, it is just made up. It can only excite or not excite. When art excites you, it doesn’t matter what is depicted there. The main thing is that the viewer wants to see it at least once more.

There was such an English artist, Turner. He made classical landscapes. They were never finished, for which he was often reproached, but there were a huge number of sketches. And only then did they realize that it was precisely these sketches of his, light sketches, observations made under a living, immediate impression that were brilliant. But he was not recognized during his lifetime.

Pieter Bruegel, one of my favorite artists, was also not accepted. Although they bought him and paid good money, art critics, let’s say, “true” ones, laughed at him. For a hundred years after his death, if they wanted to reproach someone, they said: “Well, you’re like that idiot Bruegel.” Then he went into oblivion for 200 years. When they found him in the 19th century, it turned out that he was a genius. They forgot what he did, who he painted, they forgot all the legends, anecdotes and parables. Oil, philosophy, depth, drawing technique - that’s what turned out to be important. Therefore, whether spiteful critics, my enemies want it or not, I will always be there. This is how the world works, and it does not depend on me.

But you yourself gave examples when artists began to be appreciated only after centuries...

Those artists who think that people will learn about them after death are mistaken. History says that if a person forced people to talk about himself during his lifetime, he will do so as long as the world exists. In Greece, for example, every second person was a philosopher, but only Diogenes remained in history. He shocked, did everything to be noticed. We know it, we study it, we explore it. His descendants preserved him because he was known then. So I will, you know?

Maybe there are more brilliant, more talented people, but they lie somewhere out there, on the stove, and dream that one day they will be noticed. As a rule, no one does this. Unless he accidentally ends up with some collector during his lifetime, how lucky was Anatoly Zverev: Kastaki saw him and promoted him. But, basically, everyone goes into oblivion - along with their ideas about their own unsurpassed genius. Unfortunately.

What is the secret of success?

Secret of success? I don’t know... In professionalism, in commitment, in positivity. The ability to talk about your work and make you look at it from a different angle.

You said that most of your critics are motivated by stupidity or envy. Have you ever experienced feelings such as envy or hatred?

I can't say what I hated. I have never been jealous of anyone. I only envy Leonardo da Vinci and maybe God. That's how my mother raised me.

In general, my mother instilled in me some things that I still live with to this day. For example, my mother always told me: “Never take someone else’s spoon from anyone’s mouth; if someone drank from a bottle, never drink from that bottle.” I can lick a girl all over, kiss her from the tips of her nails to her head, kiss the toes with which she walked on the sand or asphalt. But I will never use her spoon to eat soup or ice cream. I can do this, but only at the cost of great effort.

Mom always said: “When you grow up, earn three kopecks and give one to charity.” I give 1.5-2. She taught: grow up, get married, start a family, live 20 years and, if you suddenly decide to leave, find the sweatshirt you came in and leave in it. This is how I live. I leave everything and leave. I don't judge, I don't share. So I found out, let’s say that my wife is cheating on me, it turns out she is so and so... I will never take anything away! On the contrary, I will help her for the rest of her life so that she can live with dignity. Because I was happy with her for six months. And I will always remember this. I am a person of impressions, emotions and gratitude. No matter how bad she was, I believed in her beautiful game or her short love.

Do you keep in touch with your ex-wives?

I support them.

It's clear. But do you maintain human relations?

I don't support it. They are not interesting to me - why should I communicate with them? One, the first one, fortunately, I had the daughter of a billionaire, I don’t need to support her. She could support me, but I didn’t want it. I always knew that I would earn money myself. Despite the fact that she was beautiful, a model, I didn’t want her as a woman. And I filed for divorce after 20 days. Her relatives didn’t understand at all...

Have you been married for only 20 days?!

Only 20 days. She married me as an innocent girl, and then it turned out that we were physically incompatible. I thought - why would I force myself? Shorten your life? Let me not live so well... Although, to tell the truth, I was sure that I would live well. She knew that I was mastering my profession - that’s why her dad chose me, he said, this guy is talented. I just worked hard and studied.

But as a result of this marriage, the opportunity arose to travel abroad, then, in 1984. I went to Holland, to Italy, studied, studied, copied old masters. This helped me later.

How long did you stay in your second marriage?

I was in my second marriage for 13 years. But we lived for about a year. When she left Moscow for Italy and gave birth to our common child there, our relationship changed. Because it was the physical proximity that attracted me to her. But as people we did not understand each other. She was Italian - from a simple family, eccentric, loud, so nervous...

What should an ideal woman be like in your eyes?

Remember? A woman of the 21st century is such a square...Why a square? - They say. To make it convenient to put a mug of beer! This is a joke, sorry. But seriously, I don’t even know... Firstly, she must understand you, she must understand that you are an artist, that you are different... You always appreciate this... The more subtle you are and the more you understand life, the more you will feel guilty and you will improve.

She should be a friend. It’s time to be silent, it’s time to speak, it’s time to forgive – all this should happen. There are not many such people, but, by the way, if there are, it is only in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. I wanted an Italian wife as a woman - she is my wife - and she says: “No, I’ll call the police now.” Like this! I said - well, fine then, live your life...

We didn’t live together for 10 years, even more, and I supported her. She lived with her husbands and friends, but we were registered as married. And when she found out that I had money, she filed a lawsuit and began to take this money from me. I was so surprised, because she had nothing to do with them. I earned my own money through my own labor. This is also Western education. In England, when women think it's time to get a divorce, they start spending a lot of money and collecting checks. Then in court they show these receipts for 1.5 years, and the husband is obliged to pay her every month as much as she spent for 1.5 of these years. There are clever systems there! By the way, in England, for about 40 years, there was not a single court case where a man won against a woman. There, after Queen Victoria, all the laws were for women. There are very complicated divorces there. But, thank God, we got divorced!

Recently the media wrote that you bought a house in the Poltava region - why there?

In Shishaki in Poltava region. I love Ukraine and I don’t hide it! My friend, actor and director Nikolai Denisov bought a house in Chernechy Yar. I wanted to buy a chaise and a horse and go visit him. By the way, I have an oak tree planted by Gogol. At least that's what the sign says. The sign is funny and the oak is funny - a smiling oak.

Do you go there often?

No. I haven't been this year even once. I want to build three huts there for guests, for those who will look after the house, and my own house. Maybe another bath. I have 2 hectares of land there for rent. I bought it from the Ukrainian actress Nedashkovskaya Raya. For 18 years she persuaded me to go to a certain area that I didn’t even know about. But I refused. And when I accidentally wandered there to hide from the rain. And just leaving there, I went into the forest for a little relief and saw this house. Fell in love and bought it. It turned out that this was Rai Nedashkovskaya. This is amazing mysticism. It’s symbolic, it’s in God’s providence, let’s say.

Well, Poltava region is generally a mystical place...

Yes very. So I have a hut there, and I hope that I will live there from time to time.

You have already mentioned that you love Ukraine. What do you like most?

Women, of course! Nature – and she is also like a woman. Ukraine is a woman herself, although now it is forbidden to say “in Ukraine”. Ukrainian women, of course, are the most beautiful, with a symbiosis of eastern – Turkish, Persian and Western blood. There is a symbiosis that attracts. They have a spark of God in their eyes, charm, mercy, thriftiness - they have it all! And, of course, the beauty of the female body - for me this is the most delicious thing, Ukrainian. And nature, of course - it’s warm in summer, winter is so winter... Everything corresponds to my inner worldview, my nature, so I adore everything here. The mentality, such a pleasant cunning, such original cunning, such extraordinary generosity... I like everything here - it’s not even discussed!

This year, exhibitions have already been organized in several Ukrainian cities. What do you remember? How did visitors react to your paintings?

Oddly enough, they responded well

Surprisingly?..

Yes. And in each city museums bought 1-2 paintings. Here. And there was a problem in one city - in Dnepropetrovsk, it seems - when the director of the museum began to ask for a bribe because she saw so many people - and more than 30 thousand came. At first she didn’t provide service personnel, then she didn’t provide cloakroom attendants, then security... And then she started asking for a bribe. And when they didn’t give it to her, she began to say that the exhibition presented not the original paintings, but computer copies. Well, you have to be so stupid! We had to call two experts, and they gave an analysis that all the paintings were originals. I had a desire to fire her. Well maybe. that's what will happen. Or maybe I’ll forget about it. This is her greed and stupidity. At first she accepted me as God, and then, when the money passed her by, she realized that she could have fucked, but she didn’t get it... But all the organizers paid for the rent.

Are you interested in politics? Are you involved in any social activities?

No, I'm not interested in politics. I don’t like politics and try not to get involved in it.

But at one time you signed a letter regarding Khodorkovsky (Nikas Safronov signed the so-called “letter of fifty” in support of the conviction of Mikhail Khodorkovsky . - Author ) ...

You know, I don't regret that I signed the letter. Although I can’t say that this was a deliberate action on my part. On the other hand, when I found out that through his fault a huge number of people died... The choice was who you are for, I made this choice and I don’t really regret it. I’m not happy about it, but I don’t regret it either. I did it and did it! I didn’t get anything from this, and I wasn’t going to receive any dividends.

I rarely make such gestures, but when the choice comes down to which side you are on, I say that I am on that side. All! I’m not like an amoeba - wherever it’s warm I’ll swim, no. I believe that a person should have a civic position. Although I earn 80% of my money abroad. I have never asked galleries, museums, or help - I earn everything myself. I earn and share, earn and share. And this is also my civic position - never ask anyone for anything. Everything will come by itself. If only because you know how to do it...

But now in Russia another high-profile trial was underway, against Alexei Navalny. How do you feel about this story?

I don’t want to say anything either for or against, but I know that these are pro-Western situations, that he is paid for, that he has the support of the special services. I remember how they destroyed our countries in 1990: both Ukraine and Russia. Belarus also tried. They failed, and they made Lukashenko an idiot, a scoundrel and a usurper. In fact, this is the highest personality, worried about his country and doing everything for his country.

I recently witnessed one action - I was asked to support one Chinese artist, Wang Wei. Europe and the Americans love him very much, support him, help him - and, of course, our progressive citizens should also support him - they told me. I say - what did he do? He made "Seeds". I visited the center of Pompedu and saw “Seeds”. There were sunflowers and sunflower seeds, big ones, like a glass installation. I liked the work. I asked the secretary to search the Internet and see what Wang Wei is. It turned out that this Wang Wei, whom Americans love so much, took a vase - 2.5 thousand years old - broke it, trampled on it and said, these are seeds. His second action: he brought his wife to Mao Zedong Square, bent her over, took off her panties, and she showed Mao Zedong this place. And I said - I won't go. You see, this whole gang is working towards destruction. Without knowing it, they are destroying an entire system, an entire system.

We remember how so-called revolutionaries, terrorists, killed kings. Another group killed Stolypin, and he had already prepared everything for our country to be the strongest. We supplied products to the West, we had a few months left to be the richest state in the world. They didn’t give it, you understand? Or take the First World War. There are a few months left until the end of the war with the Germans - the revolutionaries make a coup, kill everyone and sign this shameful treaty with Germany. Germany still loses, but with us it would have lost much earlier. This was a specially thought-out action to bleed Russia and disarm it.

And therefore, when the question about Stalin arises, you are lost. Usurper, scoundrel, so-and-so. But, on the other hand, if it weren’t for Stalin, we would have lost the war and would have lived in a completely different state. Bad or good is another question. But we would be slaves, you know? In any case, we would not have been allowed to move for a long time and there would have been camps where we would have been like robots. This is a very difficult moment. There may have been very harsh bends, but it turns out that nothing could have been done differently.

The same thing happens to these people who live for this second. They received the money and must pay. And the fact that this is to the detriment of the country... Maybe, on the contrary, we need to help the authorities, give advice, support them, point out some mistakes, force them to correct them. But do not destroy, do not blow up, do not clearly go towards destruction and destruction. This also includes all sorts of Pussy Riot, who, in general, did nothing, but shocked: first they showed their asses on Red Square, then - group sex in a museum, and then - on you - in a temple, in the most harmless place. They would have gone into an orphanage and raped the little children. This would be another action that the West would support.

I'm not for them. I know that these people are paid by the West, and they do not bring anything constructive. That’s why they hate everything progressive and professional so much, but they support all kinds of van weis and believe that this is real art. Installations, performances where they sell excrement in jars. Well, what is it? I studied for 30-40 years to draw - maybe metaphorically, maybe with some other thoughts, but everything is based on the classics. And they just took off their clothes, ran naked around the square and said that this is a performance, this is art, this is real. And everything else must be destroyed and destroyed. I’m not a politician, but I don’t want to participate in this either... I myself fell into their clutches several times, under their criticism. We see how honest Gelman Marat turned out to be - he stole everything, you know? If he is so honest and a patriot, then why is he stealing state money that was given to him for the development of art, even modern art? I'm not on this boat, you and I are on the other side.

Do you often get approached with offers to join a party?

Often. Often any famous person is approached with similar proposals. Even if he just walks in the crowd, they will highlight him and say: “He is with us.” But I try to generally stay away from politics. I am not a member of any party. Even the parties that are beneficial to me, the ones I need - the same "United Russia" - I do not join on principle. Neither the communist party, nor the Komsomol party. But if they do something positive for Russia, I’m always ready. I do exhibitions, but I ask you not to associate me with this party - no matter which one. If she does something good, and I need to help children, the disabled, or go plant trees, I will go and do it. Or I’ll help you with money.

I took part in an action against dystrophy in Africa in 1989, which was organized by the Pope. I sold paintings against drugs in America - the campaign was carried out by karateka Chuck Norris. By the way, we also met Bush then. In Ukraine, last year in Kyiv, my painting was sold for 33 thousand dollars at an auction in support of Ukrainian children - orphans, disabled people in need of surgery.

I do not separate Ukraine and Russia. Our countries, which are very close to me, I believe that it is the politicians who separate us, but our souls, our hearts are always together. We have nothing to share - this is the truth.

Nikas Safronov’s second wife – Francesca

In the early 90s, Nikas was invited to paint walls in a London bank. On one of these days he met his second wife. She was green-eyed and long-legged blonde. Nikas decided to take a risk and meet the girl. It turned out she was Italian. The name of the young seductress was Francesca. The young people immediately agreed to meet.

After a week of communication, Francesca had to leave for her homeland. Nikas went to Moscow. Then Francesca moved there too. She practiced Russian at the Pushkin Institute. The couple continued communicating. A few months later, Safronov invited Francesca to move in with him. After a while, the girl became pregnant and insisted on registering the relationship at the registry office.

Nikas admitted that he did not want to marry at all, especially to a foreigner. But realizing that Francesca was carrying his child, he still decided, but only for a wedding in church. The girl had to renounce Catholicism and convert to Orthodoxy. After a while, her stay in Russia ended.

Francesca was going to give birth in Venice with her parents. But she didn’t want to send an unmarried and pregnant woman to her father and mother, so she convinced Nikas to go to the registry office. The painting took place in the early 90s, then the couple left for Venice. Everything was wonderful. At first, the couple rented an apartment from a friend.

After the birth of the child, Nikas was offered a good salary in Moscow. He had to leave his wife and child and move to the capital for a while. Francesca felt that her husband had betrayed her. Soon she left for London and began to live with another man. For Nikas, this was a real blow.

Safronov has an excellent relationship with his son Stefan. They communicate often. The young man often comes to visit his father.

Maria Safronova wife of Sergei Safronov

A famous illusionist is at the center of a sex scandal

The wife of the main skeptic of the “Battle of Psychics” Sergei SAFRONOV, having learned about her husband’s mistress, aspiring singer Oksana KOLMAKOVA, took extreme measures. Maria SAFRONOVA sends threatening text messages to the girl, in which she calls her rival a whore and promises that she will deal with her if she does not end her relationship with her husband. In an interview with Express Gazeta, Oksana spoke frankly about the love triangle.

in the Safronov : after three years of marriage, Sergei became seriously interested in Oksana Kolmakova . According to the girl, Sergei is kept in marriage by only two children. The illusionist's wife Maria, in order to save her family, took extreme measures: with threats she demands that Oksana's relationship with her husband be stopped.

“Yes, I wrote these text messages,” confirmed Maria Safronova . “I need to protect my family.” I admit, I did this without controlling myself from anger. Oksana Kolmakova and her friend Anna Belaya are fans of the three Safronov brothers. They couldn’t get Andrei and Ilya, so they set their sights on my husband. They attacked him after his speeches and imposed their communication on him. The most surprising thing in this situation is that I introduced Seryozha to Oksana. After the concert, she came up to me and said: “Mash, I want to interview the brothers, take me to the dressing room.” I didn't think what consequences this would lead to. Sergei called Oksana one of the crazy fans who envy me, the wife of a famous artist.

Left Galustyan

Oksana Kolmakova came to an interview with me with a participant in the “Battle of Psychics” - Anna Belaya. The girl did not immediately decide to tell a frank story. But in the end she spoke out.

“Understand, neither Sergei nor his brothers want publicity,” Oksana began. “But the situation has gone too far.”

- Tell about yourself. Are you also a public person?

– I am a nurse by training. After graduating from college, I worked for a year in my native Voronezh in the therapeutic department with my grandparents. She often cried from the inability to help weak people. I realized that I had chosen the wrong profession. Although I can also remember pleasant moments, how I entertained patients by singing, for which I was nicknamed the “singing nurse.”

– And you decided to radically change your life?

– At that time, I divorced my husband, whom I married at the age of 18. I decided to change the situation and moved to the capital. In Moscow, I was sheltered by a friend, Anna Belaya. She advised me to participate in a karaoke vocal competition. I took second place, the prize was a contract with a talent promotion agency. But I didn’t sign the contract: I intuitively felt that another project was waiting for me. Next was the Ukrainian “X-Factor”, which I didn’t get into, and then participation in the NTV project “Big Change”. I took second place, but I’m not worried: the winner ( Dmitry Yurtaev - O.V. ), as you know, did not become a star.

Illegitimate children of Nikas Safronov

It is known that Nikas Safronov has four illegitimate children. Dmitry Tsybulsky was born in 1985. He found his father on his own. Nikas initially doubted his relationship with the young man. But all the i's were dotted by a DNA test that confirmed Nikas's paternity. Safronov helps Dmitry financially, they communicate well. In 2020, there was a rumor that Tsybulsky proposed to Anastasia Volochkova, to which she agreed. However, this information was never officially confirmed.

The second illegitimate son, Luka Zatravkin, is a pianist. Born in 1990. Currently lives in Moscow. I have an excellent relationship with my own father.

Alexander Filimonenko is Safronov’s third son, who was born out of wedlock. The artist found it on the TV show “DNA”. The young man admitted that he often visited his father’s exhibitions. Until the age of 12, Alexander was sure that his dad was a different man.

Safronov has another illegitimate son, Landin Soroko. He is 21 years old. He currently lives with his mother in Australia.

Nikas admits that he is very happy that he has five sons. He is glad that now they can communicate with each other.

No tricks: Sergei Safronov secretly married his pregnant girlfriend

Ekaterina and Sergey // Photo: Ilya Gabdurakhmanov

In April last year, the illusionist divorced his wife Maria, leaving her and their two children with an apartment. The reason for the divorce was constant quarrels and jealousy.

Having lost his family, Sergei was very worried. He was pulled out of depression by a new love - 29-year-old Ekaterina, who worked as an assistant to the trio of Safronov brothers. The magician hid this affair even from his relatives, but finally decided to talk about his new relationship and shared exclusive photos from his honeymoon with StarHit.

Secret connection

“After the divorce, I started going out and drinking,” Sergei tells StarHit. “But I quickly realized that bachelor life was not for me. I took a closer look at Katya, and sympathy appeared. And once on tour he poured out his soul: “I’m free. I feel like I’m disappearing. If you give me a chance, I’ll make you happy...” By the way, it took me two months to gain the courage to say this.” The girl treated the proposal as a joke, but the illusionist was not going to give up. Soon after the conversation, Safronov invited his colleague on a date. At the meeting, Katya behaved modestly, but could not hide her excitement. Since then they have not parted. In the summer, the magician took out a mortgage on a two-room apartment, where Katya became the owner. Ilya and Andrey noticed that their brother had changed - after filming he was in a hurry to go home and not to the bar, but they did not torture him with questions.

“In general, everything happens quickly for me, that’s the kind of person I am,” continues Safronov. – If I meet, it’s only with serious intentions. So in October last year he said: “I want children from you.” Katerina smiled: “That’s nice, no one has ever told me that before.”

Ekaterina and Sergey will become parents in August // Photo: Ilya Gabdurakhmanov

Three months before her affair with Safronov, Ekaterina broke up with the man with whom she had lived for five years. Alas, she never received the desired offer. And then Sergei appeared, who quickly understood everything and decided.

Dad of many children

“On my beloved’s birthday, September 11, I asked her to become my wife,” the presenter smiles. “I just said that I love you very much and put the ring on my finger.” The day before I received Katya’s dad’s blessing. He has a stationery store, I went there. The future father-in-law already knew who I was. And to the question: “Can I ask your daughter’s hand in marriage?” - He answered with a smile: “Can’t you take the leg and head? Take it all!”

Catherine found out she was pregnant at the end of last year. Secretly from everyone, the lovers got married on March 3 and went on a honeymoon to the Dominican Republic. “After the publication of the magazine, we will gather our loved ones in a restaurant and announce it,” Sergei smiles. – True, I already told my children and ex-wife everything when I flew to London to visit them. By the way, Masha married a businessman faster than me and left Russia. I told my son Vova and daughter Alina that I would soon become a father of many children and our family would grow. I will never leave them and will always help.”

The couple has not yet bought anything for the baby, who will be born in August.

“We recently did an ultrasound,” adds Sergei. “God sent us exactly who we wanted, but we need to keep at least something a secret.”
