Name Polina Gagarina is known since the time of the "Star Factory", where she won. And after her spectacular speech at Eurovision and two seasons, held in the chair of the mentor's show "Voice", the popularity of the singer has grown multiple times. Despite the rigid tour, the family for Polina is always in the first place. She is a happy mom of two children. And for her husband, photographer Dmitry Ishakov, became a real muse. By the way, he did this New Year's photo session to an interview with the singer for the magazine "Atmosphere".
- Polina, let's start with a loved one holiday - New Year. In order to spend the magic night of the house with relatives, refuse speeches or still work more important?
- If rising values, then the family is definitely in the first place. Children, husband, Mom ... longing on them, when I leave and do not see a few days. This year I will spend on the evening of December 31, shortly before midnight will return home, to our Moscow apartment. And under the battle of the chimes of all the excitement-hug, I will give gifts. Clean with my husband and my mother champagne, we will eat a plate of your beloved Olivier and Mimosa, and then leave the children mom, and we will go to another performance. In the morning Andryusha with Miyusha wake up, and parents are already at home.
- Your strongest impression is not necessarily a plus sign - from the new year?
- Five years ago, when we started to meet with my future husband, New Year's Eve turned out to be the longest in life. At first I made a concert in Moscow. Dima conducted me there, waited for the end and took to the airport. I flew to a private event to Canary. Thought: Think, it is not so far. At the landing, it turned out that the Caribbean was actually waiting for me. (Laughs.) I flew through the Atlantic, spoke, returned to the hotel. Fell, exhausted, on the bed and looked at the clock. I remember your amazement when I realized that I was not over January 1!

- When you hear the phrase "New Year of Childhood" - what do you remember about?
- For example, when I was five or six years old, we sat on the New Year's table in the evening. Gifts from relatives received, and Santa Claus did not appear. And I stated that I would not go to bed until he comes. Mother's brother, Uncle Sasha, sighed and came out. Suddenly there was a roar. At the door someone strongly drummed. I noticed around the room, I started looking for where the vessels was folded ... And in the door everything is knocking! Santa Claus is included - Dublinka inside out, a beard of a wool. And something vaguely reminds his native Uncle ... But it was once to think: I was already in the image. Hands in red mittens folded like legs, on the head - a hat with foxes, and the expression of the face is cunning. Santa Claus almost fell away from laughter when I saw me. I barely held back so as not to laugh, and the bass asked: "Who are you?" "I'm chanterelle-sister," I answered with a languid kind. I read him verse and, having received a gift, joyful went to sleep, running through the thoughts about the similarity of the wizard with Uncle Sasha. The next year grandfather was changed to Santa. I recognized him on the sneakers, which he forgot to change. But he played, read poems, thanked for a gift. And then quietly told the grandmother that grandfather should no longer play comedy. (Laughs.)
"When you were small, for several years lived with my mother in Athens, where she worked." How did the new year celebrated there?
- Babul with dad, or we flew to us, or we flew to Saratov, where grandparents lived. Or - to dad, to Moscow, where he studied and worked. In general, we have a huge family: uncle, aunt, cousins, cousins ... We are friendly with a cousin, which younger than me for eight months. As a child, everyone gathered behind a large table: conversations, songs, delicious homemade food ... Everything has changed after the death of Pope and Granny. At first dad left. After three years, the grandmothers did not. In his ten years I have already understood the scale of the tragedy. Mom could not recover from grief. I remember a clear awareness that childhood passed, I am no longer a child, and it is necessary to behave so as not to bring it, not to deceive expectations and hopes. I still do not understand how my mother has passed. She became a widow at thirty three years.
- And no longer married?
- Not. I was her support, hope, meaning of life. She completely concentrated on me. It became early clear that I should develop in the creative direction, since I sing well, dance ... Mom showed wisdom when did not react to my "cola" in mathematics. This is a true approach. Rugala solely for the lies.
- And what is the result? Do not lie?
- I?! Lying, of course. But only for the benefit. When it is better to keep silent, have to have no one to upset a person.
- Do you have a warm relationship with my mother?
- Mom - my best friend. She is on the pedestal. As a child, he learned me that I first inform her about any problem. Because the loving mother will give a good advice and destroy the situation. Share with my girlfriend, she will break through the light, and troubles are not wrapped. Mom said: "Polina, we will cope with any nuisance with you. Any!" And when I was wrong, I got into the bounds, difficult circumstances, no matter how hard it was, I was going with the Spirit and went to her. The intimate is not always pleasant, right? Mom listened, sometimes scolded: how did you allow?! We hugged, often wept together, discussed what happened, and the decision was. Mom rights: I was worth it to start telling - as if the stone fell out of the soul. It became easy and calm: everything will be fine!

- Your son is eleven years old. He is also frank with you, how are you with mom?
"I don't know what will happen when Andryusha becomes an adult man." While we are discussing literally everything. I put in the evening in his room, and he says: "Mom, it happened that's what. How best to do? " I try to disassemble the situation and help. I want to be a good mother. And hereinafter - to become an excellent mother-in-law. Awful word: "Blood-blood"!
- Do you have it?
- Sure! We have wonderful relationships. Just recently, Neta flew to us from Germany, where he lives. She enjoyed communication with his granddaughter, and my husband and I sleep. (Laughs.) Finally managed to sleep. With mother-in-law we see infrequently, but when we meet, we sincerely communicate with great joy. By the way, and the mother-in-law with the son-in-law in our family - the best friends! Mom and husband - dusty friendships constantly united against ... me.
- Why?
- Unhappy with the fact that we pay a little attention to them. I come home - and often continue to respond to phone calls, messages ... They demand that I postponed the phone and switched to the family. I try, but it is not always possible. On March 30, my solo concert will be held in Moscow, in the Sports Palace "Megasport", April 19 - in St. Petersburg. Preparation began in the fall and takes all my thoughts.
- "Megasport" is a huge hall for twelve thousand places. Are you an experienced artist, but still there is some excitement?
- Of course, I am a living person. But I have ambitions and a great desire to make and show stylish, sophisticated, high-quality show. I am going with him on a tour of Russian cities, and without loss of quality, although the sites will be much less than in both capitals. Lord, let it work out as I want! I want to be proud of this show. Surprise and spectators, and colleagues.

- Polina, you are thirty-one. And you are incredibly popular. In Instagram - six and a half million subscribers! Is it difficult to be an idol?
- I would not generalize. I notice that they react to me differently. Or with warmth and sympathy, or sharply on the contrary. Judging by the comments in social networks, I often annoy. They write: Nasty, arrogant, evil and boring, straight to dental pain ... I recently wrote a post about how I was flying in the morning in Dubai, it was swimming at the sea exactly ten minutes and flew home during the day. Messedzh: Do you weakly withstand such a rhythm of life? For some reason, people looked at the fact that the case was happening in the Arab Emirates, and they gave a thousand more comments about how I should be ashamed: it's difficult for them, there is no money for abroad ... there was such an impressive stream of negative that I was upset And did not finish. I believe that all the same most people are good. Next my post urged to be kinder to each other.
- How do you learn your son to respond to aggression?
- Never say: give delivery. I advise: come out. Andrey is not adapted to reality in this sense. In childhood, when other boys went on him, he won his hands: what? I grew up a combat girl, could stand up for myself. And the son is another: soft, wounded, sensitive, kind. I am proud of them. Yes, such people are more difficult to live, but they do not betray and do not adhere.
- Rising two children, do you look into psychological literature?
- Not. I trust myself, intuition. I know that the love of the child will not spoil. Children need to pamper ...
- To get real robbers? ..
- No, so that they rose good and decent people. Polar non-things, gadgets, endless gifts, and their attention, care.
- How does Andrei affect your popularity?
- Recently admitted that it turns out that there were cases when someone wanted to be friends with him to meet me. It hurts. He never talks to anyone whose son. One girl asked: "Andrei, how did you get into the commercial? Are you up to date, what did you dream with Polina Gagarina? " He says: "Yes? Did not know…"
- Any artist is committed to popularity. But when she comes - it turns out that this is burden. How happened in your case?
- After the performance of the songs, the song "The performance is over" and "don't believe me more" began to learn me, but not everywhere. Few reacted, if I went down the street not painted, in jeans, baseball cap ... But after Eurovision in 2015, the situation has changed. I remember how with her husband and son got under the shower, they stopped the private traders and went home. Dima sat down, and Andryusha - back. We are going silently. I am in a cap, lowered on the nose, in ripped jeans, T-shirt. And here I catch the driver's view through the mirror ...

- And what are you kissing with the end of WURST? BUT?..
- There was such an episode on Eurovision ... and I realized that it became the hostage of its popularity. Everywhere and everywhere now - under the sight of other people's views. The husband complains that it is impossible to quietly go to the restaurant, to the store, go down the street: People begin to shushkhaty, pushing each other ... annoying the unceremoniousness - when, not embarrassed, not doubting, open the phone and remove the video. Recently flew families relax. The daughter was at Dima in his arms, and I went ahead with the landing coupons. An unfamiliar lady brought the camera on Miy and focused on the focus. We were confused. I ask: "Why did you do it?" - "Oh, I will erase ..." - "Explain: in principle - why? Do you have a photo of my daughter with my husband? Will you consider at leisure? .. "
- It is amazing that you, Polina, are so weathered. I think I would aggressively react to the invasion of privacy.
- I am holding back to the last. Of course, I do not quit fists, but hard to be placed.
- Remember your feelings when you began to find out after the "Star Factory"? Then you were only fifteen years ...
- Imagine: We were shown in Prime Time three times a day! We were babies, could not stand up for themselves. There was no money for a taxi, did not drive the car ... And when I went down in the subway - we got it. For some reason, all the time has shielded a cheat. I did not expect this! It's one thing when compliments are suitable and saying is nice. And the other - when you come across with tactlessness, rudeness.
- What advice would you give yourself today, fifteen years old?
- "Polina, nothing worried!" Yes, I made a lot of mistakes, but grateful to him for the lesson received. According to the sign of the zodiac I - Aries. I study only when I step on a rake, and they hurt the forehead. Facares do not make impressions on me. Mom often said: "Polinochka, do not go, do not, it can be dangerous ..." As soon as I heard such a request, I immediately turned out where I was advised not to poke your nose. (Laughs.) From children's holidays, I always returned in someone else's clothes. My friends and I walked, played, and I managed to find the very deep puddle on the street, overthrowing something wrong, fell. Dropped her legs, face, hands ... My parents had to change me and return me unrecognizable home. Why did I led so much? No answer ... Now I won: it's time! Yet I am a mother of two children.
- In the trend, later motherhood, the girls only after thirty years are thinking about the first child. Your firstborn appeared at a young age. It was difficult?
"When Andryusha was born, I didn't quite understand what happened." Consciousness came later. Of course, it was not difficult. I am convinced that when a child appears, all the forces of the world helps to put it on their feet. The main thing is to have enough of your love, the rest will be attached. Being mother - great happiness. No treasures of the world will be equal. Keep the baby in the hands of his aroma, feel his heart beats, and understand that this is a miracle - from you yourself, - an incredible state! Ideally, have a full family, be married to a good guy and give him children. But life does not always correspond to expectations, therefore, if there is a question, give birth or not, even if there is no worthy man, I vote for. Nothing noise - neither age, nor the absence of a husband, registration, apartments, money ... When a female woman is not implemented, it often happens terrible. Saw such examples.

- The idea of the Childfree you are not clear?
- If a woman in art, like, for example, Maya Plisetskaya, then everything is clear. Maya Mikhailovna did not belong to herself. She was more than just a woman.
- Soon the Miya will grow up and will definitely ask: "Parents, and how did you meet?" What story will tell?
"We will say that one day dad pleaded to my mother." Then he did not give a photo for a long time. Mom wrote an angry message: "When?! I need photos for a concert! " He took advantage of the case and answered: "Then, when you drink a cup of coffee with me." It all started so.
- Your novel with Dmitry caused a stir. The press issued details - you did not comment on. People wrote in the comments that this fake: Gagarina can only meet with the oligarch, and not with the photographer ... How do you like this reaction?
- I am laughing that people know how to live. Let them continue, but I count only on myself, I do it as I think it is necessary, as I feel.
- It was a premonition that life would change and will you meet a man's dream?
- Not. Before meeting with Dmitry, I decided that I would take a pause in a relationship with men and I will have one. I wanted to relax, calmly work, enjoy the time spent with Andryusha ... My holidays were short-lived: I was free of two months. Dima is a man of my type, he looks like his father. Brunette, with a beard ... I always wanted a family, but I thought she was and so there, since we live with your son. Married did not rush, allowed himself to choose men. So I chose - the best! I call my husband dinosaur. When we met, he was already thirty-six. Idle, in Biscounded - neither former wives nor children. I was amazed: "Suspicious! What is wrong with you?!" He, like mom, is my friend. Sometimes a psychologist, it happens that my personal psychiatrist. (Laughs.) Dima is able to select the exact words that much explain to me and soothe. We look like both listen to your heart.
- In fashion magazines, the rubrics of stylists or fashion historians are popular with the analysis of the appearance of the artists. It happens that you, Polina, gets! How to react to criticism of this kind?
- Let's not forget that full of crucial photographers. They are capable of any, even the perfectly folded girl (I am not talking about myself) to turn into a terrible dwarf with the feet, like the uncle steppe. A beautiful dress because of the lack of light or unsuccessful an angle may look marked, evilly sitting. Stylists disassemble onions in photography, so their criticism does not care.

- It turns out, with self-esteem you're all right?
- A strange thing, but no! On the contrary: I constantly doubt myself.
- What beautiful? What is talented? ..
- in everything! And in childhood I was incredibly confident in myself. Where did it all disappear? He considered himself the queen of beauty, although it was wider below, plucked ... Lucy, my granny, said that such a girl, like her granddaughter, no more and there will be no. She adored me. "Not Polina?! And who then? " She asked in sincere bewilderment. Thanks to the uncomplicable faith of Lucy in my abilities, I went on castings with colossal confidence that I would pass and the competitors had no chance. With age, something happened, self-esteem dropped. I look at my speeches and I think: Well, how so?! It should be better!
- You often work with my husband - photographer Dmitry Ishakov. Is it a plus or minus? Do you always like how he removes you?
- We are a normal family - and we argue, and swear. And on domestic issues, and professional. I really like how Dima works. If a photo session holds another photographer, I'm nervous. I can't take pictures herself, you have to call: And send more photos, these do not like ... when Dima removes - it will definitely come out well. Although he is completely not trusted, I argue when he offers one or another angle, light: "No, it will be bad!" - Persistent. I rarely like me. Dima asks: "One frame, Polina." I agree, by simultaneously adding that the photo will be unsuccessful, there is no time to lose time. Remove - and then it turns out that this frame becomes the cover of a new single. It is very unpleasant that he was right! (Laughs.)
- Polina, what happens in your life is a miracle? Does you depends a lot - or do you believe that everything is predetermined?
- I am a fatalist, I believe in fate. But with the right of choice. I think that the main road is laid a child from birth. You can get rid of the way, roll out of that path. And then fate will change. I'm struggling all my life with laziness, make mistakes to then analyze them and draw conclusions. I'm learning a lot. He graduated from music school, then a pop-jazz school in the class of vocal. Later - School-Studio MCAT. I am in order to develop and from childhood to teach yourself to a tough discipline. Without this, it is possible to achieve success, but to consolidate it - no. And yet I think that a miracle really happened to me. It turned out to be at the right time in the right place, met people who looked at me in me. Konstantin Meladze performed the song "The performance is over", which has become not just a springboard for me, but a carrier rocket. Space speed was recruited, and the motion vector went strictly up. Under the battle of the chimes, on New Year's Eve, I do not write notes, but I only pray that I gave me my own health. Great happiness to be a daughter, feel like a child. Be the mother of healthy beautiful children. Be the wife of a good man. I wish you all so that your loved ones were healthy. The rest does not matter!
