Michael like a real entrepreneur, he managed to make a profit from his own abilities: knowing where he would be lucky, he invested money in real estate, oil and securities.

Your talent Reznik I tried it not only on my family, but also on celebrity friends whom I managed to find during the time I spent in the USA.

“Will Smith was one of the first,” says Michael. - We met at a party in California. We talked about something, and now he is asking me about my gift. They exchanged phone numbers, and Will asked, as if jokingly: “What do you think of my new film, I Am Legend?” I replied: “He will hit the jackpot!” When the film's grosses exceeded several hundred million dollars, Smith wrote me a text message: “Your prediction came true!” And a couple of weeks ago, before flying out of New York, I saw a pretty girl at the Laduree cafe at the next table. We exchanged a few phrases, and suddenly the realization came to me that this was Jessica Alba.

And I didn’t want to hear about any magic. Only two months ago he recognized my gift. Then he looked at it and gave up. Only my 10-year-old daughter Sofia doesn’t know about my strength yet. When the episodes go on air, of course, I’ll have to explain everything to her».

NEW FACE

Healer Zhanna Kostrova recently helped an ex-participant of “Dom-2” Irina Agibalova

Zhanna Kostrova received a magical gift at age 6. Then she... drowned. She was pulled out of the abyss by her grandmother-healer, who literally brought her granddaughter back from the other world. " As a child, I couldn’t understand why I could see a person from the inside, - recalls Zhanna. - A woman is walking in front of me, but to me she seems transparent. After the resurrection, she was able to distinguish the colors of organs and understand where the problem lies in a person. Being foolish, she approached strangers and advised: “You need to see a doctor.” Of course, I was not taken seriously and was even scolded. The grandmother explained: “Zhannochka, you need to keep this information to yourself. Not everyone is ready for it».

Kostrova foresaw everything important stages in life: where to go to study, with whom to communicate. And she saw a wedding with power plant designer Nikolai on the first day of their acquaintance. " I came to a business meeting, sat down in front of Nikolai and was stunned, - the seer tells StarHit. - It’s as if a voice in my head says: “This is yours.” future husband" I forgot everything I wanted to ask, I sat as if in a fog... We began to communicate and become friends. Three months later Kolya proposed».

Son Dmitry, now a 27-year-old police officer, Zhanna 14 years ago I saved her. Then he, a schoolboy, fell ill with a temperature of about forty.

For a month, the healer used spells and prayers to level the boy’s energy. And a miracle happened. " We did all the tests again - the tumor was gone, continues Kostrova. -The doctors concluded: “The diagnosis was made incorrectly.” And I just smiled - well, thank God».

But this is not the main test that awaited the clairvoyant. One day she had to save herself.

« I was visiting friends and petting their fluffy chow-chow King. I approached him to kiss him, and he bit me on the face. So much so that I tore my nose off, says the woman. - It was incredibly painful. But fear came when I raised my hand to my face and realized that I literally had a hole there from my mouth to the triangle between my eyebrows. Then I had to concentrate all my energy, pull myself together, and talk to the ambulance on the phone. All the way to the hospital I prayed not to feel pain and not to remain a freak. And I succeeded. In a simple city hospital, they arranged everything for me in such a way that even after the stitches were removed, I felt the same as I was».

The seventeenth season of the show starts on September 3. For now, TNT is keeping the names of 15 new members secret, even from the visionaries themselves. “StarHit” reveals three of the most promising psychics on the shortlist.

“I bet very successfully on the stock exchange for several years and earned almost a million euros overnight,” Reznik admits to StarHit. “But business was like a game for me: I always knew that for the soul I would deal with esotericism.”

Reznik tried his talent not only on his family, but also on celebrity friends whom he managed to find during the time he spent in the USA.

But not all of Reznik’s family has a penchant for esotericism. For a long time, parents could not accept their son’s peculiarities.

“Mom was more loyal, but there were conflicts with dad,” the magician tells StarHit. - He is a military man, he said that he does not believe in this nonsense. And I didn’t want to hear about any magic. Only two months ago he recognized my gift. Then he looked at how I went through three rounds of the “Battle” and gave up.

Zhanna Kostrova received a magical gift at the age of 6. Then she... drowned. She was pulled out of the abyss by her grandmother-healer, who literally brought her granddaughter back from the other world. “As a child, I couldn’t understand why I could see a person from the inside,” Zhanna recalls. “A woman is walking in front of me, but to me she seems transparent.” After the resurrection, she was able to distinguish the colors of organs and understand where the problem lies in a person.

We began to communicate and become friends. Three months later, Kolya proposed.”

Zhanna saved her son Dmitry, now a 27-year-old police officer, 14 years ago. Then he, a schoolboy, fell ill with a temperature of about forty.

“In general, you diagnose relatives poorly. You can't view them properly. That time I had a premonition: something was wrong. Dima couldn’t even walk to the kitchen on his own - such weakness. For three weeks, doctors changed courses of antibiotics, but could not bring down the fever, says the psychic. “I grabbed him and took him to the medical center for tests. The blood showed inflammation, but the doctors assured me that it was a cold. Without letting up, she approached the head of the department: “Look at his spleen.” They tried to dissuade me, saying it wouldn’t do anything, but I insisted on an ultrasound. It turned out that in my son this organ was enlarged so much that it occupied almost the entire small pelvis! It was a tumor. I was offered to operate on him right away, but I signed a waiver for hospitalization and took the child home.”

For a month, the healer used spells and prayers to level the boy’s energy. And a miracle happened. “We took all the tests again - the tumor was gone,” continues Kostrova. “The doctors concluded: “The diagnosis was made incorrectly.” And I just smiled – well, thank God.”

But this is not the main test that awaited the clairvoyant. One day she had to save herself.

POLITICAL MOVE

Boris Yeltsin’s psychic, Avdotya Smirnova, known around the world as Elena Davydova, was also noticed at the final casting of “The Battle.” The native of Nizhny Tagil is called local Vanga by her fellow countrymen.

“She predicts fate no worse than the famous clairvoyant,” colleagues say about her. “And he’s also raising two twin grandchildren – Arseny and Masha.”

Avdotya’s son recently introduced her to the Internet - she learned to communicate on social networks. However, it does not answer everyone.

“They say she sees who is worth dealing with and who is not,” Anna Smirenko, who received help from a psychic, tells StarHit. “I saw that people write nasty things to her on her page, and she always answers wisely: “Please don’t swear, because my grandchildren come here to watch Fixies, and what if they read it...” She diagnosed my relative. She told me about his illnesses from the photo, advised what to check and which doctor to go to.”

Everyone on the site was talking about the fact that Avdotya advised the first president of Russia. It was discussed that she made predictions for him at the time of the putsch. Like, thanks to her, he made the right decision then. True, why the woman stopped working with the politician remains a mystery.

While watching Avdotya Smirnova’s new film “Two Days” on September 7 at the Pobeda cinema in Novosibirsk, for some reason I felt an urgent desire to look for so-called philosophical subtexts in a simple plot.

Moscow official Pyotr Drozdov, played by Fyodor Bondarchuk, arrives at the estate house of the classic of Russian literature Pyotr Shcheglovitov, author of "Notes of a Fisherman". But not in order to be imbued with the writer’s spirit and his immortal creation, but simply to help the governor chop off museum property and build a new entertainment area. Museum workers crawl on their knees in front of him, glorifying their breadwinner and benefactor, and are even willing to dance naked just to get the coveted funding. And only the principled deputy director of the museum, young literary scholar Masha, tells the whole truth to the official straight to the forehead. That there will be a brothel here, not a museum, and the country with its culture is completely uninteresting to Drozdov. And he hits the official in the face with all his might. Such a truth-teller, against the backdrop of the flatterers faithfully looking into the eyes, turns the official on terribly; he falls in love with Masha and changes his life for her.

"Thinking of Plutarch in the Cheese Line"

So everything would seem quite simple. But no - a young inquisitive mind must delve into it. The official in the estate began to admire the starry sky. He wants to pee under the linden tree, but does not dare - there is a sign there that the tree was planted by Leo Tolstoy. Here an official is hungover near the sphinx, and a little later in the same place he glues broken cup Shcheglovitova, together with Masha, talks with interest about the writer. What does this mean? Of course, the fact that the official has begun to grow spiritually, he is even drawn to beauty for treatment. In fact, everything is much simpler, and you don’t need to cheat anything.

A man with a hangover is quiet and gentle,” Dunya commented on these conclusions. - Your question indicates that you have never experienced such a state. The fragility of the world is never felt so well as from a hangover, believe me. Therefore, Drozdov, naturally, had human reactions - he becomes much more spiritually graceful. This happens to many people.

Before the screening of the film, Avdotya voiced the most frequently asked questions, which she was already tired of answering, and immediately answered them:

I worked at the newspaper for three years and can immediately name all the questions and answers: “How did the relationship between Fyodor Bondarchuk and Ksenia Rappoport develop?” - "Very good"; “Will there be a “School of Scandal” in the new season? - “Yes, there will be. It has already begun”; “Why did “School of Scandal” change its format and cease to be a conflict program? - “Because Tatyana Nikitichna and I are tired of calling out scoundrels”; "Remember funny incidents on film set" - "I can kill for this question. Absolutely all filmmakers go crazy with him."

At the very beginning of the press conference, Bondarchuk suddenly called Avdotya Smirnova. Having affectionately called him “my little mask” and promised to provide a detailed report about the trip to Novosibirsk, the director returned to the journalists.

I consider Fyodor Bondarchuk to be the largest dramatic actor in Russia. He can play roles from the Shakespearean repertoire, Boris Godunov. I think that the acting potential has been revealed to about 10 percent of its potential. There are just abysses and abysses. Therefore, working with Fedor was an absolute pleasure. You can write whatever you want on it. I have a completely unexpected role ready for him.

- What can you say about Ksenia Rappoport?

We are close friends and live close to each other. I was the first to give her the script to read, where she is described as a dreamer. I’m like that by nature - I can walk into a pillar, fall out of the blue, forget why I came to the store and stand thoughtfully in front of the window for a long time, trying to understand what I’m even doing here. Ksyusha has the same thing in life. We even once had a competition to see who had the most adventures. When it comes to life's drama, she is a world champion. I leave her far behind in terms of comic incidents. I have a story of my youth that I want to film, but I don’t understand how to do it. My husband and I were living in a communal apartment at the time, and I started cleaning the room. She stood on the bed to take the suitcases out of the closet and wipe the dust there. Then within a few seconds the following happened. I dropped a suitcase on my head, bit my tongue, jumped off the bed with my foot, stepped on my first foot with my second foot and stepped on the mop with the same foot, and the mop stick hit me on the forehead. It was very painful, but so funny! In my opinion, only Charlie Chaplin could have done this. Ksenia's heroine drops everything because she is the type of dreamer. I call this “thinking about Plutarch in line for cheese.”

"Punks are never former"

There is a moment in the film when her ancient barn collapses on Masha. And she, sitting in such a cage, says to her goat: “God did not give me a husband or children. I live in the wilderness with a goat and chickens. Life is like a joke.” Similar to a joke real life, not only in cinema, as Dunya says:

The message of the film for me is that it does not hurt a nation to remember that it has a culture and an intelligentsia. A nation that spits on its culture the way we spit is inevitably moving by leaps and bounds towards the collapse of such a thing as Russia. The intelligentsia, as an image of a certain world, left the cinema. This word has become a dirty word. We have turned into a nation of rednecks and criminals, as the heroine says in the film. Because they have already destroyed everything we have. The intellectuals have not gone anywhere, everything is in place. Dissertations are defended, books are written. Eat wonderful poets, new ones are growing wonderful artists. Everything is fine with our culture. The simple fact is that society does not look in this direction. Society has gone crazy over Stas Mikhailov - it is his equal. For 70 years they explained to us that money is not needed. Finally, we got to them with all our daring and limitlessness. We decided that money is the sun of Russian poetry.

- But the main character, an official, is terribly charming, and does not look like a redneck.

Movie characters are generally supposed to be charming. The point is that I don’t consider the viewer an idiot. The viewer perfectly reads and understands everything. If, after viewing the picture, young people go to the next estate with a wedding procession and do not carve something on a tree, I think that I have already done a great thing for my homeland.

- You said that men buy flattery. In your program “School of Scandal,” were there any characters who didn’t buy it?

Among men - no. Women don't respond to her. If a woman comes “armed,” no matter how many compliments you give her, she will not stop defending herself. Men lose their vigilance all the time, one hundred percent of the time. Even the smartest ones. The only question is the quality of flattery, what kind of flattery you come up with. Then you can take the man with your bare hands. There were a lot of “scoundrels” in the program. The head of the Moscow City Duma, Vladimir Platonov, spit in the eyes - God's dew. You can't take this man with anything. There were many scoundrels, and many wonderful people.

- Your film is called “Two Days”, and a completely different amount of time passes there.

The movie has a shitty title, but you can't think of a better one. There were no options, that's the point. I don't know how to come up with names at all. The next script that I will direct is called “Kokoko”. I hope the title of the film remains the same. - Will the romantic comedy have a happy ending, will the characters get married?

Why do you think they will get married forever? You know, life ends in death, and marriages end in divorce.

- And what about love?

What does love have to do with it? The situation where people get married and die on the same day, in my opinion, has long since resolved. And we can only talk about it in retrospect. Will the heroes be together? There definitely will be. How long is another question. How will it end? I don't think this will end well. In my experience, marriages generally don't end well.

- How do you break up with men? Are you leaving them or are they leaving you?

I part with men laughing. Well, in different ways... It happened this way and that way. When love ends, it is hard and sad. I am grateful to each of those who were with me. I have a son Danila.

- Do you have a friendly relationship with him, or a serious, official one?

My son and I have an absolutely wonderful relationship, we are friends. One day he came to me and said: “Mom, can I do highlights?” - "Can"; “What if I shave half my head and highlight half of it? - “No question, son”; “Can I dye my hair red? “It’s possible, but only I’ll take you to a good stylist.” And then I see that my son is looking at me with hatred and says: “Mom, what can’t be done?” Then I began to urgently come up with an idea, and I said: “Get a tattoo.” not allowed while you live with me." As a result, until he was 18 years old, he dreamed of a tattoo. Now he no longer wanted to get one. The same thing happened with the earring. He came to me at the age of eight and said that he wanted to get an earring. A year later we went and they did everything. The next day they called me from school and said that my son came in indecent condition, and was also lying, that I allowed him to put an earring in. I answered that I not only allowed it, but personally took him away. Why should my son object? I am only for all our common experiments. We are constantly in different adventures let's go. I am always interested in the opinion of Danil and his friends about my films. On new picture he will work as an administrator. - You also often experiment with hair color. After becoming a blonde, did you feel any changes in yourself?

Do you mean, am I stupid? - Dunya laughs. “I always really wanted to experiment with color and haircut.” But I've been married to someone all my life. And husbands have always resisted this. When I stopped such a stupid and worthless situation, I immediately began experimenting. I don’t rule out that I’ll also be a brunette, or some kind of purple. It's just a feeling of freedom. - Is Avdotya Smirnova a crazy person?

What do you think if I spent my entire youth in the punk band "Dumb"? Punks are never former. And now I can dye my hair green color. I am considered a professional urban madwoman. This is a very convenient reputation, because people are afraid to contact you.

"All of Moscow is in red"

In the film there are constantly sharp transitions from the muted and dullness of the provincial estate museum to the bright pomp of Moscow. It feels like you are being woken up from a sweet, pleasant sleep by the loud beat of drums. This is not a random impression - this contrast was intended by the author:

When we came up with figurative language paintings, they decided that there would be no red color in the entire provincial history. He is not in the costumes or the sets. We even pulled out all the red flowers in the Abramtsevo estate, where the filming took place. Colors are muted, darkened and warm colors. And all of Moscow was made in red. Starting from the minister's office, which has brown-red table surfaces, to the restaurant, which is actually white. When the hero goes to resign with the Prime Minister, the car drives along the red wall for a long time Novodevichy Convent. Red color is aggressive. These are things that the viewer does not notice, but they act on the subconscious. And the viewer gets the feeling that Moscow was filmed somehow differently.

- Does the writer Pyotr Shcheglovitov have a prototype?

No, it's collective image Russian classic, such a conventional image of the Russian 19th century. Shcheglovitov's Freemasonry was generally invented by accident. The production designer Ekaterina Zaletaeva, a wonderful, extravagant woman, brought me sketches. And he says: “Let there be sphinxes, unicorns, griffins in the park... This is a romantic...” Such beauty had to be somehow justified in the script. And then we came up with the idea that the writer was a Freemason, so he was doing weird things on his estate.

- Is your father, director Andrei Smirnov, making films now?

He just made a movie after a 30-year hiatus. On October 27, the film “Once Upon a Time There Was a Woman” will be released.

- Your parents are a wonderful director and actress. You are a granddaughter famous writer Sergei Smirnov. Such a life in chocolate turns out. How do you know how people in the provinces live on five thousand rubles?

Wonderful question. People are used to imagining my life in such a way that when everyone is in grief, I sit and cover my nails with diamond chips all day long. I can tell you a lot of things from my life - boarding school, hostel... But I won’t do this, these are my personal details. I can only say that I know the life of the provincial museum and the life of the village from my own experience. life experience. I lived in the village and know the museum workers very well.

Speaking about the fact that for society money has become the sun of Russian poetry, Avdotya Smirnova recalled periods of our history in which culture flourished. She considers the time from 1986 to 1991 to be one of the brightest - the time of youth:

On Christmas Day, Channel Five showed a 1987 episode of “The Musical Ring.” Sergey Kuryokhin was there with Pop Mechanics. My friend and I sat down to watch the group in which we also once performed. And we were completely amazed by the questions from the audience. People stood up in some creepy sweaters with deer and pellets, in monstrous horn-rimmed glasses, and asked questions about the musicians Anton Webern, Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, about atonal music, the writer Thomas Mann. And we watched with our mouths open. It's just a different people. Moreover, these are people who were recruited from the street. Where did they all go? It was an absolutely brilliant period. I am happy that my youth happened then.

Trailer for Avdotya Smirnova's new film "Two Days".

Avdotya Smirnova- film director and screenwriter, and in addition, long years Together with Tatyana Tolstaya, she hosted the TV show “School of Scandal.” In 2012, Avdotya created the “Vykhod” charity foundation, which helps solve the problems of autism. The goal of the foundation is, together with society, to initiate government changes in the system of helping people with autism in order to put an end to their social isolation. As Smirnova likes to say, “I didn’t choose charity - charity chose me.” I have known Avdotya since childhood - we grew up together and were strong friends. Then she moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg, and life seemed to separate us, but, as it turned out, only to bring us together again years later. Today we work together at the “Vykhod” fund .

– I always thought that mutual assistance and self-sacrifice reign in charity. But when I found myself in this environment, I realized that it was very conflictual and competitive. If so, why?

– This is probably true to a large extent. And why - there is no ready-made direct answer. On the one hand, systemic philanthropy employs perhaps the most interesting people in the country. , Yulia Chechet, Lyuba Arkus, Gor Nakhapetyan, Dima Yampolsky, Yan Yanovsky, Olya Zhuravskaya, Asya Zalogina, Inna Monova, Tanya Lazareva, Lena Smirnova and many others. These are bright, strong, talented, and therefore authoritarian individuals. Therefore, in charity, the concentration of authoritarian people, in my opinion, is higher than in all other areas.

The second is that, as a rule, these people come to the system without having the appropriate education in fundraising, medicine, and so on. In some other professions they are fully realized, but here we have to come to terms with the fact that we know nothing. It is impossible to receive a second education in parallel with charity.

So you are an eternal amateur in this clearing, but it is you who has to make strong-willed decisions. For example, when you determine a pool of experts whose opinions you will rely on. And if someone from another fund tells you: “But our specialist Ivan Petrovich Sidorov thinks completely differently,” you start banging your head against the wall and thinking: “What if he’s right?”

Finally, based on your previous experience, you simply begin to act in the logic of common sense. It seems to you that it works the same everywhere. But it turns out that no. This is also very annoying.

- How common sense may not work?

– I went through this on my own skin. All people familiar with media know that simple designs are most effective. It seemed to me and my comrades that in the educational part of our work we need to act in the same way as we would act on media platforms. Start presenting simple, clear, understandable theses about - and things will move forward with dead center, tolerance in society will increase.

Not so! As soon as you start speaking simply, you reinforce stereotypical ideas from the series “all autistics are geniuses,” which does not help, but really hinders the acceptance of people with ASD. Simplification leads to coarsening, encouraging misconceptions, incorrect recommendations and inflated expectations.

– But still main source neurosis in charity is probably competition for money.

– the main problem- this is the fact that all our systemic benefactors are in one way or another engaged in replacing the state, butting heads with the state, looking for compromises with the state, and so on. At the same time, the state is huge, and the charitable foundations are small.

Here are thirty of you - I’m taking a large fund - and you must change the system of helping cancer patients in the country! The inaccessibility of the task combined with an insignificant resource drives you crazy.

Therefore, systemic charity is initially a field of strong neuroticism. And, of course, you have to constantly look for money and replenish budgets.

– How does the foundation find a donor?

– Businessmen, heads of companies, top managers who donate money to charity, as a rule, choose either one direction or give a little to everyone. Unfortunately, the number of these people in our country is critically small and is not growing yet. So charities are, indeed, unwittingly competing for donors' attention. But I cannot say that there is any particular hostility on this basis.
