Patriarch ponds are a place historic, sign and thanks to the novel by Bulgakov "Master and Margarita" to some extent mystical. No wonder he was chosen by representatives of the intelligentsia and creative Beaujda. Singer and composer Mark Tishman is no exception. His house is located in one of the quiet alleys opposite the pond.
- Mark, before you lived in Chertanov. Why did you decide to move?
- My parents still live there. Apartment for Patriarch - My first own housing. Before that, I removed the apartment here nearby. I do not like new areas, new cities. I am interested in places with your history, culture. Once I dreamed of living on Arbat. My youth was held there ... I found accommodation next to the Museum of Marina Tsvetaeva, out of the window, a view of the kindergarten, where she once loved to walk the bunin ... but did not work out, there were difficulties with the right of ownership. Realtor suggested that I look at the apartment on the patriarching ponds. I did not particularly consider this option, but when I entered here, I immediately understood: my. Just felt it.
- For you, energy is important, where do you live?
- Sure. There was still a repair, and nothing was from furniture, but we came in the evenings with friends, read poems, some mystical stories ...
- Bulgakovskie places inspire on creativity?
- I always wrote songs at night: And when I lived in a small room in Chertanov, and now. I do not feel any special change. Inspiration does not depend on geolocation. Now I recorded, it seems to me, my most frank song. My girlfriend, having heard her, said: "I'm even awkward. It seems that I overheard something very personal. " For me, this is the biggest compliment. I always wanted to be in terms of filing an intimate singer.

- I know that now you still have the program "New Morning" on NTV. And what is the atmosphere in the morning in your house?
"I live on the sunny side, and in the morning my apartment illuminates the sun's rays. If I need to shoot, take a contrasting shower. It is brown. Then drink coffee, eat cheese, who prepares my home assistant. If I do not work, then most often breakfast in a cafe next to the house. Usually I take an omelet with Ricotta and Truffle and Coffee. Houses in the morning there is a TV, listening to news, looking on the Internet that an interesting thing happened ... you need to be aware of events before ether. Already on the way to shoot, in the car, I read patters, sob.
- Often walk along the patriarchal ponds?
"I love to walk here with friends, to ride a bike, enter local cafes and restaurants. I am very glad that they are becoming more and more. I quickly got up, I met neighbors, sellers in shops and flower, hairdressing workers. When I settled here, there was only a couple of good cafes in the area. In the evenings, life fell, only chaotic parked cars stood, although it seems to be the center of Moscow. And now in the evenings in restaurants not find a free table. Pond is a point of attraction where the flow of walking people flocks. I like these changes.
- They say, a sense of neighborhood is very developed on the patriarch. It's true?
- I know the neighbors, I greet everyone, I communicate. Many of them are famous, dear people. For example, Nikita Szongin, who was a player "What? Where? When?" and the chief architect for the reconstruction of the Bolshoi Theater. We have an asset of the district, we are periodically going and discussed different urgent problems. As far as possible, I try to participate in these discussions.

- What do you think about the conflict, which broke out between the locals and the inhabitants of the bedrooms?
- This place belongs not only to those who live here, but also to all Muscovites and guests of the capital. I am not a supporter of restrictions and taboos, I like when life boils here. He celebrated his birthday in one of the neighboring cafes, and I was allowed to do it up to three o'clock in the morning, which I was very happy.
- Probably you say so, because the windows of your bedroom go to the courtyard, and not on the pond. Felt the advantages of this location?
- Yes! After filming, when you want to relax, I have the opportunity to sleep. It's not so noisy here.
- You have an interesting grill outside the window in the form of a violin key. Who thought it up?
- Workers learned me and offered to make a surprise. Unusual grille. I asked: just not with my monogram. (Smiles.) And they made a treble key. I really liked the idea, and the embodiment.
- What apartment did you dream about? How did you imagine her?
- I had a goal - visually increase the space. Therefore, the interiors are sustained in bright colors. I did not want High Tech, there is little soul in it. I wanted to make my accommodation cozy. Therefore, the design was engaged in himself with the architect and designer, another of my parents.
- Beams on the ceiling - is it a designer move?
- This is a given. We left them "by default", as they are carriers. But many it seems that it is so specifically conceived. In my opinion, the beams give a certain flavor.
- Paul in your apartment is a reason for pride. What is this coverage?
- I somehow heard the saying of one designer on how the floor was important. After all, the house is the place where you can walk barefoot. Therefore, as a cover, we chose the Swedish royal oak, which was slightly processed before laying. That is, all natural depressions and dents that were in it were falling asleep with woody dust. And there was such a natural pattern. Connoisseurs will understand.

- How did you choose the furniture?
- Singer Zaka recommended me one good store. It sells furniture made under ancient, very high quality. I purchased a chair, a chest of drawers and a coffee table. And my sofa was presented to me. This is a sofa, which was filmed in the clip Alla Borisovna Pugacheva "bad weather." I changed him upholstery, and now he stands in my living room. An interesting story was published with armchairs. Once, walking, I wandered into one interior salon and what is called, put an eye on them. "I need to buy," said thoughtfully and went to the exit. And four days later - the call: "Mark, that's you? Furniture store worried. You wanted to buy chairs. Did not change his mind? Last couple remained, and they now want to pick up. " I was surprised: I did not make up pre-ordered, I did not ask to postpone these chairs, I did not leave the phone number. I did not even introduce myself! They found me, in their channels found my number and called! I decided that this is a sign, bought a chair, and at the same time a table for them.
- What kind of images hang over the sofa? Are these people who are oriented in their work?
- These are the people who inspire me. I believe they are absolute values in their business: Alla Pugacheva, Sting, Claudia Shulzhenko and Adriano Celentano. They are all different, but very close to me. There is my photo here. The snapshot is made in motion, that is, I seek to see my ideals.
- And where is the mirror hanging, what did Kirill Serebrennikov give you?
- The smallest mirror on this wall. My friend, director Kirill Serebrennikov, bought it in Mexico City on the flea market. And I ordered the clock and the second mirror more specifically, in the style of this small.
- In the bedroom over your bed, I noticed tennis rackets. What does this mean?
- I think these are a badminton racket. I played badminton in the courtyard as a child. Although, perhaps you are right. And this is true tennis rackets. (Pensive.) In Tennis I do not know how ... Tennis is a steam game. All as in love. Someone serves someone chopping. Everything has its meaning.
- I know that the rug, which is near the bed, also has its own story ...
- I gave it my grandmother. She has a very difficult fate. When my mom still studied at school, in primary classes, her husband died on grandmother's hands. She was alone. They lived in a barrack, with amenities on the street. Grandma worked on several works to maintain a family. Mom then said: I know that someday we will live in our own apartment, and we will have a big and comfortable chair. And my grandmother answered her: "Well, you and the dreamer, daughter." (Smiles.) She, like many Soviet people, postponed money in Sberkasse for us, grandchildren. But then the denomination happened, and all the accumulations turned into nothing, in a penny. Grandmother went to the store and bought two rugs: for me and my brother. That's all that was enough money. And this little rug lies with me. I believe that if I get my legs from the bed to this rug, then the day will go well.

- Your childhood passed in Makhachkala. Are there carpets on the walls? How did you relate to this part of the decor?
- For us it was considered the norm. But with my nephew, when he came to relatives in Makhachkala, a fun story happened. He went into the apartment, saw a carpet on the wall, and for him, a three-year-old child, it was a shock. Asked: "What are you going on the walls?!" Here, in Moscow, he did not see this.
- Why did you decide to put the piano in the bedroom?
- Where is he still? The apartment is small. There was no place in the living room for him.
- And over the piano hangs a photo of Sati Spivakova ...
- Sati - my girlfriend and my close man. The place over the piano for a long time was empty. I was looking for something that I would inspire me. And then Sati released the play "Tenderness". Stunning performance! Her image inspired not only me, but also a talented photographer Vlad Elteva on a photo session. I came to the exhibition, I saw this photo and understood: this is what you need. I asked Sati to send me a photo on the Internet, I print it and make the desired size. As a result, after the end of the exhibition, she gave me the original. This snapshot just fits perfectly in the interior. Although I have my portrait somewhere, is also very beautiful. But I did not want to hang him at home, in the frame. I do not like to look at yourself.
- The living room is combined with the kitchen. How did Posters be in the kitchen?
- I love Brodsky. Of course, everyone is loved now. But I liked it since thereafter, when it was not in fashion yet. I am grateful to my classmate for the fact that she "raised" me on his poems. I then just came from Makhachkala and was an uneducated boy ... So, Venice is one of the favorite cities of Brodsky. And I also love this place. I wanted something from Venice in my house. But not a banal: lace, mirrors ... something unusual. I bought from an old grandfather on an abandoned area of these posters. They look like new, because they made too neat passecut and frames. I am not very pleased with this: I wanted to be seen that these are old posters drawn by hand. I chose three for my apartment. "Roman holidays" because I had some happy Roman holidays in life. "Mark Anthony and Cleopatra" because I am Mark. And "Sweet Life" Fellini - I love movies, and who will refuse sweet life?!
