According to Dmitry, the name occurred by chance, from nowhere, still during the recording of the first disk. Well, and only then the space of the studio began to fill the scaly reptiles, made from different materials, all sorts of coloring and sizes. Something singer brings himself from the overseas tour, something, knowing about his passion, give friends and fans. Now in the collections of the sorcerer for more than fifty exhibits, some of them are quite rare.
Dmitry Sordun: "At first, my musicians with my musicians generally wanted to put terrarium in the studio. But since we have no longer for a long time, it would be no one to care for reptiles. And then, some of them live fifty years - there is a possibility that we simply do not touch such an old age. So decided to abandon this venture. But in general, lizards cause me sympathy. Not so long ago, we flew on tour to the city of Urdom, and I caught a lizard there. It was completely tiny - in length, probably a centimeter two. We are very friends with him. But in Moscow, I decided not to take it - suddenly the big city is scared. "

You have no opportunity to keep live reptiles, so you decided to collect a collection. And what do you like these creatures?
Dmitry: "It seems to me that lizards can adapt very well to the circumstances. You can discard the tail along with all the problems and start life from a clean sheet. (Laughs.) I try to take an example from them. In something, I even envy them. They know how to disguise. I hardly succeed - the profession obliges to be all the time. And sometimes I want to stay alone so that no one notice you! "
Lizard - also the symbol of wisdom ...
Dmitry: "Wisdom, Eternity, Infinity. It is agile and alive, flexible. Many different interpretations. I have come to read that the lizard symbolizes male strength. So this is very difficult creatures. No wonder they adapted in the process of evolution and retped to this day. Dinosaurs died, and they were left. "

And where did your collection start?
Dmitry: "When we finished the construction of the studio, friends began to come and congratulate the newlywood. Well, what do you think they carried as gifts? Images and figures reptiles. These wooden panels are here for the fourth year. Soft plush figures and paintings in large quantities give fans. In the car over the windshield, I have a pretty reptile. Keychain - in the form of a lizard. One of the girls-fans embroidered with beads. Two more patterns on silk I myself purchased in Minsk at the exhibition. Recently, on the occasion of the birthday of fan clubs, two capitals presented me with a certificate - one of the small stars is now named after the lizard. Put the document at home in the frame. "
Is it true that one day right during the concert some woman took a broth-lizard from the dress and handed you?
Dmitry: "Yes, I was so uncomfortable ... we performed in Zhukovsky near Moscow. And this lady, director of the concert hall, went to me and said: "Dmitry, I know that you are collecting lizards. Here you are a broom from me, it has a jewelry value. " I began to refuse, but she insisted. She said that her son works in a jewelry company and brings her yet. I had to take. "

Do you have rare exhibits?
Dmitriy:
"Yes, although they are not so much. Some exist in a single copy. This is not a factory stamping, but an exclusive. For example, this white-black glass feature of the master glass fiber in Italy did right on my eyes. There are several lizards from Mexico: the blue, with which I was photographed for your magazine, and here this gypsum with a ball is also a piece exhibit. But for me it is not so important their cost, rather a pleasant memories of some travels, trips. "
But this figure is probably a lot of ...
Dmitry: "This is Venetian Bronze, the XVIII century. I was presented with one good friend. Specially purchased for me in an antique store in Italy. Instead of eyes, diamonds are inserted. True, they are no longer shining so brightly - the eyes "pushed" from time to time. Previously, such brooches decorated wine suits. "
Does your favorites here?
Dmitry: "Perhaps this porcelain sculpture. Made at the beginning of the twentieth century, also the work of some famous master - I do not remember his name, the certificate of the house remained. She's like a living, very nice to keep it in the palms and treat. "

But you are not a gambling collector, you have no assembly instinct?
Dmitry: "This is a kind of fetish. Some of the trips will bring magnets to the fridge, and I save my memories with the help of these pretty creatures. By the way, you can not buy lizards everywhere. For example, in cold countries such as Finland they do not sell them. There is another topic - mostly deer and bears. "
Where do you keep your treasures?
Dmitry: "Wherever I am often: at home - in Minsk, here - in the Moscow apartment, in the studio, in the car. Those figures, which is bigger, stand in prominent places, the rest - on racks. I give me aesthetic pleasure to look at them. In addition, there is something to show and boast of guests, share some stories. Here this figure is brought from Italy, it is made from local marble. But this little brilliant lizard from China is a kind of casket with a secret: you can store something inside. "

Has anyone caught in your collection?
Dmitry: "Framework" is. Periodically occur accidents - figurines fall, broken. For example, I hung a sign in the form of a lizard in the toilet, which was attached to the toilet, - and everything broke away, shattered after. It was a pity, funny thing. "
Sobble with other collectors?
Dmitry: "No, I am self-sufficient. I like the exhibits that I have. And insane ideas - from the series to buy all the lizards of the world and to have a homemade crocodile - I do not have. I calmly treat my passion and can resist the temptation. Once I saw an extraordinarily beautiful reptile figurines made from some rare tree species. They cost several thousand dollars, but something I was sorry to spend such money on them. Understand, I'm not a crazy collector. Maybe later, in old age, when it really will not do ... "
