Music duet "Sisters Zaitsev" (not those from Comedy Club, but real) was very popular in the 90s. The song "Sister" - about two twins that were separated by the distance, "caused tears from sensitive natures. Then Tatiana married the producer and businessman Nick Vicklockovsky, and the singers signed a long-term contract in America. But nostalgia turned out to be so strong that in a few years they decided to return and even purchased a house in the suburbs. The housewarmer did not cost without excesses.
Tatyana Zaitseva: "I believe that the fate of a person is predetermined over. And the Lord God determines who how much will live in this light, in which places. My husband nickname was born in America, but he has Russian roots. He is from the noble family, and his godfather was from the genus Romanov. Nick's ancestors emigrated from Russia during the Civil War, but very much they wanted to return here when the system will change. Husband introduced such an opportunity. When I met a fifteen years ago, I had an apartment in the center of the city, on Tverskaya (the love of Orlov had ever lived in this house). But we wanted to buy a house outside the city. One day Nick brought a newspaper with an announcement of the sale ... Castle in the village called Nikolo-Uryupino. While they got, I felt heroes of Pushkin's "blizzard": February a month, the snow is punished, nothing can be seen. Suddenly we noticed a flickering light ahead. It turned out, it was burning a lamp in the local church. Drove up, began to ask how to get to our castle. One of the locals volunteered to conduct us. And what did we see? Suggested by knee, no castle, worth one box - the foundation. But what is around nature, forest, river! Our walking told the history of the village. It turned out that the church is nearby the name of Nicholas -erated. And the name of my husband into Russian manner is Nikolay. In their family, so called all men. One legend is connected with this. Allegedly, someone from the ancestors appeared in a dream Nikolai-Roma and I prevailed that all the boys should wear Nicholas, otherwise they would die. And indeed: one child was called Mikhail, and he died at an early age. I stood, and I was just a frost on the skin. It turned out another coincidence: the princes of Golitsyn were buried here. And Georgy Golitsyn was a close friend of Nick, they studied together in America. "

Elena Zaitseva: "By the way, even the Georgy himself did not know these circumstances. He told nickname that somewhere in the suburbs there was a summer residence of Princes Golitsyn. There they are buried. But I could not call the exact place. "
Tatyana: "In general, we decided to buy this" castle ". Then there was default, difficult times, but, apparently, for my husband it was available money. The construction of the house was stretched for five years. It turned out that Nick organized us with a sister two-week tour in Las Vegas. And the audience was so good for us that we were offered a ten-year contract. We could not constantly attend construction. Nick hired architect, brigade. The matter went. But the architect was Georgian, and when, after a while we arrived at the object, they saw ... a real Georgian castle. "
Elena: "Million inputs and outputs, some narrow dark windows, all heavy, bulky - it was not our option. For the month, we rebuilt everything. No one has already become hired. In Holland, I graduated from the highest school of designers. (Elena's second husband, Otto, - Dutchman. In this country she lived for several years, but then the spouses broke up. - Note.) So the whole design is the case of my hands. As you can see, despite the fact that outside the "Castle" remained, inside the housing looks quite modern. "
Do you live with my sister and her husband?
Elena: "I live in Moscow, and sometimes I come to bother. On the third floor there is my room. Previously, there was my own wooden house nearby. But, alas, he burned down. Someone from the servants by negligence left a burning cigarette. Madly it is a pity that many things died inheritance from their parents died. In general, I can't live without Moscow, I like the rhythm of the big city, I love freedom. "
Tatyana: "And I realized that real freedom can only be here in nature. You can include music, to start nineteen dogs (they really live with us) - and no one will say the words. Yes, I, besides my dogs and a squirrel, and I do not see anyone. Full relax".
Elena: "She's with her husband playing here. Sucks quietly in one of the rooms, and he is looking for her. "
Tatyana: "We used to have a walkie-talkie, we were talking to Nick. And then somehow tired. Now, if I downstairs, and the husband is upstairs in the office, call each other to mobile. "
Lena, did you have disputes on the design of the house?
Elena: "I am a very tactful person and the designer who listens to the wishes of the owners. After all, they live here. "
Tatyana: "Instead of narrow boys who made our Georgian architect, we gave large windows. Their one hundred twelve! Although we have curtains, we do not close them. This fashion brought Lena from Holland. There is such a style. I remember when I visited my sister for the first time, two things struck me: the unusual beauty of tulips and huge windows. Lena said: "Close - it means not to see the world."
Elena: "Moreover, you have where to look - not on the garbage, but on a wonderful forest."
Tatyana: "Light tones also visually expand the territory. In the living room, the warmer color of the wallpaper, but in combination with the stone it looks beautiful. In the living room I have a greenhouse, a winter garden. Fisheries I began to practice not so long ago. When we lived in Florida, many people threw dried plants in pots. And I chose them and looked around. I have a lot of books in flower growing, but I do not read them. Flowers themselves suggest what and how to do with them. "
Tatiana, why do you need such a big house with nickname?
Tatyana : "He is not only for us. Here are often Lena and my son Alexey. In addition, we accept guests from all over the world, Hollywood's stars have stopped: Michael Douglas, Chuck Norris, Stephen Seagal. Guest bedrooms occupy the whole third floor.
Tell me what you have on what floor.
Tatyana: "On the first - the kitchen, my favorite place. I adore cook! Sometimes I make sauces that are boiled for a few hours, you need to follow them, constantly mixing some kind of grass. Here I have a small TV to not be bored. And maybe it will seem to you that there are no such comfortable seats, but when I sit in the evening for this chair, I can easily sleep on it. "
Elena: "We fight for this chair, which stands opposite the TV. Only Chuck Norris, the honored guest, we can give it up without a fight. (Laughs.) Kitchen - and my favorite place in the house. She, by the way, has already twelve years. Probably, this is the first of the furniture that appeared in our house. In those days, there were no good interior salons in Russia, so we brought everything from Italy, America, Holland. The situation is designed in the classic style, and the classic does not leave fashion. Something (for example, a huge glass table in the living room) We did to order. For this table we hunted very long - that is, we imagined how it should look, I was looking for everywhere, but they did not find it. "
Tatyana: "My husband for some reason loves everything massive, big. You would see the chair in his office! Oak furniture is beautiful, durable, but it loads. And, in my opinion, it is not at all suitable for the house, in which large windows and walls are finished under the stone. My sister and I tried to find lungs, elegant designs. This sofa is just huge in the living room - twenty people fit on it (our guests checked). But because of light skin, it does not look seriously. I almost never happen in the living room. I know that if you are on this cozy sofa, then I will not stand up with him. "

Apparently, you have a very welcoming house ...
Tatyana: "It's true! When guests are in the house, we sometimes fry barbecue on the veranda. This winter dressed up a Christmas tree there, included music. To us on the "disco" foxes from all over the county gathered. And fishermen also sit in front of our house - they say that the fish is well caught. "
You probably, the stars of this village.
Elena: "We try to create a comfort in the house, never come here without food. Cooking, Park, Cooking, guests - here is a constant movement. And the neighbors sometimes come to a snack. But it was not easy to build in the "environment". "
Tatyana : "When we settled here, the duet" Sisters Zaitsev "was heard. Nick immediately began to participate in public life, landscaping the village, restoring the roads, but for some reason, not all this was kindly perceived. They shot in our dogs, shouted to us. There is a military unit nearby. Our dad was a military man, and we were thinking with Lena that they got to their own, and met with such a negative attitude ... "
And why?
Tatyana: "I think the role of elementary envy played the role. For some reason, we do not like successful people in Russia. Some in our housing partnership still do not greet us. I communicate with rural residents. I feel comfortable with them, good and simple. I feel like an ejaka rustic tanya. I always willingly go to the rescue, they ask autographs, discs. "
Continue a tour of the house?
Tatyana: "Yes. On the second floor there are bedrooms - ours with Nick and Lena. On the design of these rooms you can guess how much my sister and our sister are. The bedroom of Lena is sustained in calm and cold colors, and on me, on the contrary, everything is bright - yellow, orange, red. Nearby is a balcony room, here I am doing yoga, here I am a prayer. This is my shelter. Surprisingly: there are few doors in our house, they are practically not closed, but for some reason no one can ever find me in this room. Another favorite place is a green bathroom, I am more likely to be there than in my own bathroom. The third floor is a guest. There is a veranda, and the nickname is going to make a jacuzzi heated so that in winter it was possible, taking a bath, look at the snowy forest. Isn't it a miracle? On the fourth floor there is an office, a husband's office and a room that we called the parent. There is not so easy to climb along the steep staircase, so if the husband is sitting in the office, it is half a day. On the ground floor - the hall where we are engaged in sports, sauna, solarium. There we also store concert outfits. "
And what is the mysterious parent room?
Elena: "She is withstanding in retrostile. In it we have collected all the furniture, leave our parents. There is an old TV - it works so far! The ancient Chinese vase remained from the grandmother. See these porcelain figures? They are from the Dresden Gallery. After the war, the gallery was plundered, and some exhibits were in private collections. "
Tatyana: "Mom, like us, adored dogs. And, living with dad in Germany, bought the figurines of dogs. Alas, a lot burned down in a fire, and part of the housekeeper broke. Here we even glued this vase ... And two buckets of the porcelain, I mistakenly thrown into the garbage. Mom wrapped every figure in the newspaper and folded into the bucket. Says: "Tanya, take in the car." We had a trash machine every morning, and I thought that my mother had in mind her ... so it was a pity! But instead of porcelain, we have a lot of live dogs. The fate of each of our pets is very heavy. We were sheltered, went out. They sleep in heated enclosures, happy, loved and guard us from intruders. "
You have a lot of paintings signed by the names of famous artists. Is it reproduction?
Elena: "They write a tannin husband. The sister has a passion - flowers, and he has painting. My second husband, Otto, used to sing loudly in the shower. And fake. I remember it insanely annoyed. But my mammy said: "Do not dare to him. So a person expresses emotions - everything that has accumulated on the heart. He must splash them, and the water is washed away. " Nick splashes its emotions on the cloth. "
Tatyana: "He writes in the style of Picasso or Salvador Dali. And jokingly signs the same. I tell him: sign work with your name. In my opinion, the husband is very talented. "

I won't be surprised if I hear that these beautiful Iquibans did someone from you ...
Elena: "Not! I brought them from Seychel. (Laughs.) This is an innovative flowers treated with a special solution. They are interesting, fit perfectly into the interior, but not exclusive. "
Lena, you like a designer of this house? What are you proud of most?
Elena: "I can not say that I feel pride right. I just love this house, I am comfortable and pleasant to me. "
Tatyana: "I'll tell you one story. I often have it: first I do something, and then I think. Last fall, I decided to repaint the hall in bright yellow, the color of the leaves. I love this time of year - the golden autumn, it is connected with my pleasant memories ... Well, I painted the wall, with whom, except for my husband, without consulting. Even Lena did not say. And when the sister entered my house, then froze on the threshold. And then said: "Oh God! - And put her hand to the heart. "Yes, as it was possible to spoil the classics so much!" And left at once. "
Lena, you probably were upset?
Elena: "Highly. I saw that Paul was broken, roughly broken style. This velide bright yellow wall just killed everything. All the flowers, all the pictures have fed.
Tatyana: "Two weeks we persuaded Lena, they swear that she did not understand anything, she had no taste, and they were aware of themselves, they had something terrible. Then hired masters. Twenty paint buckets gone to drown out this yellow color. And when I invited Lena and she saw that everything was returned to his circles, "this was her biggest victory!"
