During the filming of the New Year project "Useful Program" (on the Inter channel on December 31 at 10:00), the famous television family Dmitry Chistyakov and Marina Iskra spoke about what they remembered the outgoing year.
– How do you plan to celebrate New Year and Christmas this year? What will radically change in your approach to the holiday? And what traditions will you not change even in today's conditions?
Marina: - To be honest, we are one of those people who think about where to celebrate the New Year the day before. We are very spontaneous in our choice of location and environment. Therefore, we do not yet know where and how we will celebrate. The only thing that does not change from year to year is that we meet him together.
Dmitriy: - We will spend this New Year and Christmas at home. In a family or a circle of friends - but have not yet decided which one. Usually, in recent years I have celebrated the New Year at work - I had a holiday, but this year many restaurants and establishments are closed, corporate parties are canceled or postponed.
We will definitely not change the tradition of watching Inter on New Year's Eve - our always warm and sincere concert. And, probably, the table will be traditional. I want comfort and everything home - it seems that 2020 should be spent this way.
– What attributes of the holiday or New Year's dishes will you celebrate the New Year 2021 without?
Dmitriy: - Olivie, of course.
- What is the right way to celebrate the New Year, according to the leading Kitchen Councils in the Useful Program?
Marina: - The most important thing is not to overeat. It's not the end of the world and the food isn't going anywhere the next day. So don't stuff your stomachs at night and just enjoy the company. Well, my New Year cannot be without a Christmas tree and non-alcoholic champagne, the recipe for which we will share in the New Year's edition of the Useful Program on December 31 at 10:00 on Inter. Also, viewers will learn: how to pamper yourself at the festive table without harming the figure, what to do so that the next morning does not have a headache and how to preserve the products left after the feast?
– On December 31 at 21:30 viewers will see Inter's festive project “Meeting Place. New Year". In what unusual place do you plan to someday celebrate the New Year? And in what unusual places and in non-standard situations have you seen this holiday?
Dmitriy: - In recent years, I had to celebrate the New Year in the company of strangers. It's not bad though. New emotions, strangers rejoice together, exchange positive emotions. Well, cool! And the most unusual place, perhaps, is the train carriage.
Once we decided not to stay at home on New Year's Eve, but to go to our mother-in-law - to make a surprise. And so my wife and my dog bought tickets at 5 pm, took the train and drove off. We took a couple of attributes with us - champagne, snacks. And that night I received the most unusual gift - a chocolate bar from the head of the train - he walked around midnight and congratulated the few passengers. And at about 2 am we were already sitting at the festive table.
Marina: - Yes, yes, we met 2019 on the train. on the way to Khmelnitsky. Everything was decided at 20 pm. We wanted to go to my parents. It's all the fault of my mother's call (laughs) She made a video call and showed what a cool table they had. My sister was there with my nephew. And in general, they lured us directly with the abundance of everything on the festive table. And what do you think, without thinking for a long time, we took a ticket for the near future and already at 22 sat on the train. Me, Dima, Max and our Snick (dog). We took with us champagne, cheese, some kind of meat cuts, and we met NG in such a funny and unusual way. I remember that a couple of minutes before the chimes, the head of the train came to us, as well as to everyone who rode in this train. Gave everyone a postcard and a chocolate bar. That was great. And, perhaps, it was my brightest NG.- The most famous New Year songs will be performed at the New Year's concert. What songs do you associate with the New Year?
Marina: - OH. I have a whole playlist of such songs. In December I open it and listen to it without interruption. This is, of course, Jinle Belz. Frank Sinatra generally occupies the lion's share of my New Year's playlist.
Dmitriy: - Everything is trite - this is Abba, Last Christmas, "If there was no winter", "When the clock strikes 12", "5 minutes". And songs from Interov musicals, of course. Old, kind. This is such an association with the New Year - without them a holiday is not a holiday.
- What gift for yourself would you like to find under the tree this year?
Dmitriy: - Honestly and pragmatically - I want Santa Claus to give me a new smartphone or some million dollar contract)
Marina: - Gift. Hmmm. I am one of those people who like to prescribe their wish-list in advance and voice it to everyone. I don't like figurines and everything that stands and collects dust. I love the necessary and desired gifts. And God forbid to give me a pan or a vacuum cleaner on NG. Do you hear, Dim?) (Laughs) Men! To you my appeal) Do not give your loved ones everyday life - it kills love. Give better jewelry. Present impressions. Present some desired item for which there is not enough money in everyday life. Money will never be enough - and the emotions from the gift will remain for life.
– The outgoing year 2020 was not easy for everyone. But, nevertheless, what good things happened to you this year - some events, discoveries, achievements? Perhaps you learned something new, rethought something, learned some lesson for yourself?
Dmitriy: - Normal year. It was difficult only in that it was necessary to change one's behavior in relation to other people, to change some aspects of the worldview. And so everything was in the old way, but in new circumstances. I defended and received a diploma - now I also have the education of a political scientist and political strategist. I bought a car. I was convinced that spending time at home with family and visiting friends is sometimes cooler than some parties. There is only one lesson - we must take care of ourselves, but at the same time think not only of ourselves, we realized this year how the lives of other people, even strangers, literally depend on our behavior.
Marina: - I went to study. I am discovering the profession of a director. And no, I did not decide to retrain - just this year I realized that I want to study and know more. I want to open myself from different sides. Learns new things. Our beloved Interschool helps me in this - for which many thanks to her. Next year, everyone is going to see the documentary, the short, and the pilot of the series - in which I will act as the director. I'm looking forward to it.
And I also began to practice a new kind of dance for myself. I have already bought special shoes and I am getting incredible pleasure from it. Overall, 2020 taught me how to live. Live here and now. Live for the moment. Do what you put off. To risk. Know and discover yourself. This is perhaps the most instructive year.
- What would you like to wish yourself and all people in the new year 2021?
Dmitriy: - Health! And may everything come true with us, except for negative predictions and terrible predictions!
Marina: - Live. To live as we can. Right here and now. Learns to take risks. Allow yourself to please yourself. Do not save on yourself. Do not put in a distant box what you can do now. Taking care of your health - not when you get sick, but to prevent - this is the most sick. On the whole, I would like to wish us health and peace. Let it be so banal - but this is what everyone needs now.
