Notes

Excerpt characterizing Popov, Andrey (opera singer)

- From what? – Natasha asked, looking carefully into Pierre’s eyes.
- How why? - said Princess Marya. – One thought about what awaits there...
Natasha, without listening to Princess Marya, again looked questioningly at Pierre.
“And because,” Pierre continued, “only that person who believes that there is a God who controls us can endure such a loss as hers and ... yours,” said Pierre.
Natasha opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but suddenly stopped. Pierre hastened to turn away from her and turned again to Princess Marya with a question about the last days of his friend’s life. Pierre's embarrassment had now almost disappeared; but at the same time he felt that all his former freedom had disappeared. He felt that over his every word and action there was now a judge, a court that was dearer to him than the court of all people in the world. He spoke now and, along with his words, reflected on the impression that his words made on Natasha. He did not deliberately say anything that might please her; but, no matter what he said, he judged himself from her point of view.
Princess Marya reluctantly, as always happens, began to talk about the situation in which she found Prince Andrei. But Pierre's questions, his animatedly restless gaze, his face trembling with excitement little by little forced her to go into details that she was afraid to recreate for herself in her imagination.
“Yes, yes, so, so...” said Pierre, bending forward with his whole body over Princess Marya and eagerly listening to her story. - Yes Yes; so has he calmed down? softened? He always sought one thing with all the strength of his soul; be quite good that he could not be afraid of death. The shortcomings that were in him - if there were any - did not come from him. So has he relented? - said Pierre. “What a blessing that he met you,” he said to Natasha, suddenly turning to her and looking at her with eyes full of tears.
Natasha's face trembled. She frowned and lowered her eyes for a moment. She hesitated for a minute: to speak or not to speak?
“Yes, it was happiness,” she said in a quiet chesty voice, “for me it was probably happiness.” – She paused. “And he... he... he said that he wanted this, the minute I came to him...” Natasha’s voice broke off. She blushed, clasped her hands on her knees and suddenly, apparently making an effort on herself, raised her head and quickly began to say:
– We didn’t know anything when we drove from Moscow. I didn't dare ask about him. And suddenly Sonya told me that he was with us. I didn’t think anything, I couldn’t imagine what position he was in; I just needed to see him, to be with him,” she said, trembling and gasping for breath. And, not allowing herself to be interrupted, she told what she had never told anyone before: everything that she experienced in those three weeks of their journey and life in Yaroslavl.
Pierre listened to her with open mouth and without taking his eyes off her, full of tears. Listening to her, he did not think about Prince Andrei, or about death, or about what she was telling. He listened to her and only pitied her for the suffering she was now experiencing as she spoke.
The princess, wincing from the desire to hold back her tears, sat next to Natasha and listened for the first time to the story of these last days love of his brother with Natasha.
This painful and joyful story was apparently necessary for Natasha.
She spoke, mixing the most insignificant details with the most intimate secrets, and it seemed that she could never finish. She repeated the same thing several times.
Behind the door, Desalles' voice was heard asking if Nikolushka could come in to say goodbye.

Paris is getting married, the girl's chosen one is her musical colleague The group Soundflowers Gabriel Glenn. Sources close to the couple claim that Paris and Gabriel are so “hopelessly in love” with each other that they haven’t even broached the topic of discussing a prenuptial agreement – but in vain.

Radar Online published a message from one of the couple's close friends: "Paris told some family members that she really believes that Gabriel is the one for her and she wants to marry him." The source also added that she and Gabriel have become very close over the past few months and "she feels a strong connection to him."

While everyone in Jackson's family is very happy for her, insiders say they are "insisting on signing a prenuptial agreement to protect her vast fortune."

"On this moment the family is in turmoil,” the source commented. “One second she’s a lesbian and dating Cara Delevingne.” The next second she's straight and dating a guy from her group."

The anonymous author continued that the relatives are not so much frightened by the situation with marriage as by her emotional condition. “Gabriel doesn't have the best reputation and some members of her family feel like he might be taking advantage of her. They just want her to be careful,” one of Paris’s friends noted.

Paris's relatives are worried about her for a reason - it is known that the girl does not look for easy ways and often gets involved in relationships that do not bring her happiness. Jackson’s previous romance with rapper Michael Snoody in 2017 ended rather disastrously for her: after a series of breakups and reconciliations, Paris, according to her relatives, “went off the rails,” and her family was already preparing to send her to treatment for alcohol addiction.

By the way, the idea of marrying a dubious young man This is not the first time he visits the girl. When the only daughter of the King of Pop was 18, she wanted to marry Snoody - and as a symbol eternal love which continued whole year, got a tattoo of the rocker's name on her ankle.

In July 2018, the 20-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson publicly announced her unconventional identity for the first time. sexual orientation, when she commented on her stories on Instagram - however, she thought that official statement was not required. Jackson half-jokingly added, “I thought everyone already knew.”

Then she found herself at the center of a scandal: the press learned that she was dating three girls at the same time - one of them was a supermodel. It is worth noting that Jackson and Delevingne’s relationship began in February 2018, and six months later the first reports of a romantic relationship between Paris and Gabriel appeared. At the same time, details of the girls' separation were revealed - Michael Jackson's daughter cheated on Kara with her current fiancé.

In an interview with News, Paris said that she told her relatives about her attraction to women at the age of 14. She admitted that she fell in love with girls when she was 8. The singer noted that she does not consider herself bisexual, although she is attracted to representatives of different genders.

Paris Michael Katarina Jackson's second child legendary singer, and she grew up in the same atmosphere in which all children of rich and famous parents live - Paris was hidden from the public throughout her childhood, because wherever she went, the girl was followed by paparazzi.

The family said that Michael associated himself with Peter Pan, and only daughter named Tinker Bell after the tiny fairy from this book. The singer got a tattoo that echoes affectionate nickname: Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust.

Paris's refusal to sign marriage contract with her fiancé, it seems to her family that the mistake was not at all in vain. Paris Jackson's annual income is estimated at approximately $110 million. most This amount constitutes the benefit that she and her brothers Prince and Blanket have received annually since 2014. In 2016, it was established that when children reach 30 years of age, they will face a division of their father's remaining inheritance in the amount of $1.74 billion.

If the young people do get married and then divorce, Gabriel Glenn could lay claim to a significant portion of Michael Jackson's money. In the meantime, Paris introduces the groom to his doubting relatives, perhaps to change their opinion about him. Glenn recently met 88-year-old Katrina Jackson, Paris's grandmother.

“Not Volochkova!”

Tireless in all manifestations - musician, artist, writer, poet and, of course, citizen - Andrei Makarevich, having purred for days on the Internet a short song sketch “Paradise”, which, of course, greatly excited this Network, again stirred up the air of space and time with an unexpected exhibition. Now, in addition to numerous techniques, the master has also mastered silk-screen printing. Under the motto “Life is short and sad, there is no time for mistakes,” also framed in the form of a silk-screen engraving in an elegant mourning frame, he opened the exhibition “The Principle of Red” in one of his favorite galleries in collaboration with avant-garde artist Alla Reshetnikova.

“The Red Principle” by Andrei Makarevich and Alla Reshetnikova. Photo: Margarita Shoal

Everything is in very red, exciting colors. An alarming note was added, as in a Stendhal novel, by rich strokes of black. And even White color- the basis of any painting - against this crimson-gloomy background pulsated with nervous flashes. The guests happily took their first selfies with the “exhibitors” against the backdrop of a black and red self-portrait of Makarevich. Questions began. “Well, I’m not crazy enough to paint myself, I’m not Rembrandt,” the cheerful Makar stunned everyone, inviting the guests to take a sip of the red one - a concept with the color of the exhibition mood, therefore. That is, it was the avant-garde artist Reshetnikova, for the sake of opportunity, who moved away from her own abstractionist principles and printed the cover image of a rock musician for herself. In all other respects she was in highest degree avant-garde - strokes, blots, spots, stains, arcs, dots, commas...

Against this background, Makarevich’s works stood out, of course, for the greater concreteness of their exaggerated figures – human, cat. Yes, he still loves cats. “Is this also an abstraction?” asked other guests, not very privy to the nuances of painting genres, rather stupidly.

“I am extremely far from the field of art history,” Andrei answered patiently and, as it seemed to me, with a hint of condescension, “I really don’t like some kind of classification, to put it in order - this is rock, this is pop, this is our abstraction, these are the Wanderers. For myself, I define everything by how close or like something is to me. Since I got a good education, then I think that I am not very subjective - in the sense that I can distinguish worthy works from uninteresting ones. And the ballerina is not abstractionism, but a very concrete image: legs, arms, head...

- Is the “Red Principle” a revolution?

It is terribly common for people, and especially, apparently, for Soviet and Russian people, to attach some specific meaning to abstract concepts. If it’s not there, then they look for it, invent it, and stick it on anyway. For me, red is just a color. And black is just a color for me. I am not looking for associations associated with any concepts - rebellion, revolution...

It’s just such a nervous, volatile time, as those in power timidly put it. The enemies, you see, are all around - cockroaches from the cracks, the revolution, especially when the schoolchildren at Pushka hang funny sneakers on the trees... The communists, again, spoil the reporting on the elections. And then there’s you – with your “Red Principle”

Actually, Alla (Reshetnikova) suggested this. But in principle I love the combination of white and red, white and black...

Stendhal also respected... Slava Zaitsev, the guru of Soviet fashion - his favorite “holy trinity”: black, white, red. Classic!

Yes. Well, because it's a good combination.

- I see you hung a whole pantheon of silk red, white and black ballerinas. Why is this?

Again! Don't know! I completely and completely turn off my head when I draw. I raise my hand to the paper and for a second I still don’t know what I’ll draw. I'm waiting for the paper to tell me.

- And she suggested a ballerina, then?

- But is this an abstract ballerina, or was the model posing?

Not a model. I have never painted ballerinas from life.

And she looks like Volochkova. Yes, with powerful legs... To Volochkova, rebellious in red, black and white... Just her image...

No, God forbid.

In your newest song sketch, or rather remark, on the statement of the first person at the Valdai Forum, where he was going to heaven, and prophesied hell to his enemies, you seem to have some doubts about the certainty of such an outcome? You even claim that the archangels at the entrance to heaven will not allow this...

The statement is, let’s say, strange, if we remain within the framework of political correctness.

- Well, in the song you were less politically correct, you swore, like a real Shnur...

Somewhere my statement is called boorish. I don’t consider him boorish at all, because if we talk about addressing the president, then I call him both “well done” and “handsome.” No other way! And the rest, in general, is not about him. What is not typical for me in this life is rudeness.

- Where do you think you will go – to heaven or to hell?

I think that heaven is very abstract concept.

- Yes, in the song you very clearly depicted this using the example of martyrs...

And hell is also a very abstract concept. We know nothing about what awaits us after death, but we can expect some popular prints in the form of pink angels on swings and devils with hooves, goat horns and pitchforks - somewhat frivolous for adults.

But your, as always, elegant Aesopian figure of speech and merciless satire, poorly hidden under the guise of melancholy irony, rather painted a picture of total hell, didn’t it?

Seriously speaking, then, forgive me, but for four last year, judging by the events directly or indirectly related to our country, then we are such righteous people, martyrs... We really suffered! From Crimea to the Skripals - nothing but torment...

Well, there are enemies all around, very often there are pimply toads, as Philip Kirkorov likes to say, and we are pink and fluffy. This is an axiom!

That's it.

This “Principle of Red”, as well as your other artistic and aesthetic exercises in different areas, genres and formats, are you getting emotional for the 50th anniversary of The Time Machine next year?

No. There is no need to mix everything together. In fact, for now I’m waiting with horror for its approach, this anniversary. And somewhat fascinated. Like a frog before a snake. And they just took it and did it, because it is necessary to bring it, once they have taken it, to its logical conclusion. You can, of course, draw it, put it in a box and let it lie there, but, in my opinion, this is not correct. And now I'm calm. You can turn this page and do the following tomorrow.

The motto of the exhibition: “Life is short and sad, there is no time for mistakes.” How many mistakes have you made in your short and sad life?

I try to follow this principle, and there could be many more mistakes...
