These bike. Like, there's behind the scenes Edward Gil and Edita. "Well, all pehaesh?" - He asked. "You go to Gil!" - She parried. It is of course ridiculous. But I have seen a very different scene. Edward A. and Edita met during the show "Idols" in the wings of the palace "Ukraine", said: "Boulevard". And exchanged ... strikingly beautiful French phrases. Gil P'eha then kissed his hand and said, "Well, no one knows what I said." And who would have thought that the question of French have served as an excuse for a little-known story from the life of a famous singer. - Edward A., if I may, that you say P'eha? - What she is a beautiful girl! - And the French know how? - Yes, I do not know him, so that two or three terms. Once taught at the school, but most of those years I did not remember. Then, when he went on tour or tours to various countries, memorizing the most essential expression, "Hello", "Goodbye", "How much?", "How do you get?". And yet I was three or four times in two months, he went to Paris. - Lived there? - Knitted. It was in the early 90s, when we had something awful - no money, no food, not things! And make it very difficult. I remember, with my ensemble somehow invited almost in Tyumen, said a concert. We are on the money cards have arrived. No, we did not meet. Start looking for a company that organized tours and learn that it is long since burst. And we are not is not set to glory. All in all, it was awful. And then somehow to Paris on a business trip, and I met a woman. Your last name Martini was, as it was called - Elena Afanasyevna it an ethnic Russians. They say that the wealth of the time the second woman in Europe. Kept a network of cabaret, one of them - "Rasputin" (the French stress on the last syllable). Imagine that on the street in Paris, I see. Singer is known I asked, "What are you doing here? '. - "Yes, that is - he says - to" sing "Send cabaret show." Rasputin. There, as it turned out, was also a lot of famous musicians. And the head waiter - my record, he had found me out on it and. Acquaintance with the mistress. You businesswoman immediately, as they say, took the bull by the horns. "You - I ask -" Evening Bells "can sing". Sang. "And now - he says -" I met you. "-" And your musician - I asked - will play? Nevertheless, this song is not for the cabaret. "-" I have a band - cut - - the animals play "Turned out she really just great working example, the chief violinist -.. Paul Tuscany, former first violinist in". Grand Opera "By the way, in Russian language well spoken, his wife was Russian -. In Paris doing a lot of Russian language - .. Yes, for me it was a big surprise Overall, I quail in the evening, not only all known and unknown Russian romances (in "Rasputin" is doing to offer), but also modern songs like "Katyusha" and "Winter" ("The ceiling of ice creaking door ..."). Madam very. - And you were in Paris? - No, I was always lived there for short visits. French visa only open for 60 days and strictly supervise offenders. If delayed for a day, can bring in your computer and never allowed into the country. So I went back and forth. But I like to work there! Madame Martini and I treated with great sympathy. - To manage a network of theater, it is necessary to have a character. - So it was real Iron Lady. Do you know why Cabaret, where I worked, was called "Rasputin"? That's for later told me. It turns out that Rasputin knew it was his poison, so a preventive measure taken poison. Start with small doses, then more and more. So did Madame Martini the same thing. - It will also poison? - No, there's more. In the 30 years she was diagnosed with terminal illness. She hurried to the most expensive and well-known physicians, but only planted with his own hands. Madame was absolutely desperate, and someone said she should be treated with poison. If I worked on it, she saw the huge doses of poison, sometimes fell on her. This is a major stress on the body! And what do you mean, saved himself. Extended life of more than 50 years. After some time had to pass tests, and the doctors could not believe it, my eyes: the blood was clean, no signs of illness. Since then, this woman is very unique for a monitor: little food, mainly fish. Fruits and vegetables - only from their own plantations, so there was no chemistry. Here you have a sign ... She was a very interesting person. Loved literature and poetry. In the "Rasputin" is often performed, and Bulat Okudzhava and Robert Rozhdestvensky, Yevgeny Yevtushenko. Nikita Mikhalkov visited. Yuri Lyubimov and beats her, but she refused. Resist its charms. Incidentally, I had seen the disgraced director in "Rasputin", once a song dedicated to him. It was during his exile, when he went abroad, and deprived of his fast under the guise of citizenship. By the way, said Lyubimov Madame Martini, which I in the Soviet Union a very famous singer. - And what does not? - How, if at a young age are not at home? It is now possible to go where you want, and in the Iron Curtain, was such a difficult journey. In general, after the departure of Lyubimov she came to me: "Listen, and you are just a famous man in Russia." - "Yes, that - let's say - relative." Well, I'm going to praise me? Asked me to her. Some videos of his concerts Looked up and began to respect me even more, "You're such a big hall in Russia support, not to be modest. Now I'll pay you more." To pay -? - Do not have time. I had to leave already. By the way, in "Rasputin" I celebrated my 60th Birthday where many famous artists attracted. Most Madame Martini liked Luda Senchina. She said: "I would like for the singer came out and sang with me." - "I doubt it - I say - she agrees." - "Persuasion - she said - I will pay you a commission." - "Sorry, ma'am Martini - I said, - I come to you more. The situation in Russia has stabilized, and now you can also give concerts, "This is how we were separated - .. Not sorry to leave - you know, I've worked very hard there, and only when I leave for good I realized how very tired act .. In the "Rasputin" had every night, without holidays and weekends Difficult Suddenly I even worried that I was having a heart attack in front of him: every day you get to 10 clock - and up to and three nights .... even when others sing, you have to be there -. Why not arrive to your departure - Due to the beginning and end of all performers have to go together, we sang "Morning paints a soft light" and then traveled through the locker room and waited .. its publication after midnight, the audience that was in the evening, in conflict, and in the morning -. a new race again, we should come and sing It's very hard, to the same man I 'm not young anymore "I've only seen a few times .. that during my performance EFI "- Sorry for the indelicate question: pay something .. even though right - OK But I have absolutely to all saves lived not very far away, but not to spend money on traffic (which in Paris is very ) expensive go to work on foot. More than an hour, I took it. And in "Rasputin" never ate, for me it was very expensive. A very different situation ... One day a man came to the lady. Obviously she was not his wife, because they were in a separate room, it was so hidden from prying eyes. When I read the funeral, he gave me a rose, wrapped in paper. Flower I took a piece of paper thrown in the trash. A cleaning lady came and said, "What is that you dispose of dollars." I looked, and it's $ 100. Immediately something and you can not say there, peculiar light, with red light, because usually all red - walls, floors, ceilings, curtains. These are gestures can be rich! But keep up with our cool they can not yet. If Russian bankers began arriving, all of Paris on the ears. But wealthy Arabs from the Emirates to go, but they can afford to spend 100 thousand dollars in one night! By the way, all my friends, I have always recommended to visit the "Rasputin" and they liked this place a lot more than "Moulin Rouge", "Lido" and "Paradis Lathen." First, there's live music. All of a real orchestra, all the musicians in hussar costume! And secondly, no screens, which you can numb at nightclubs. We do not even sing without microphones. - It was a feeling of wounded pride? But in the Soviet Union, you were the star of the first rank, and here is a cabaret ... - You do not know. In the "Rasputin" was absolutely wonderful atmosphere. And the audience was a very worthy. I remember, came Alexander Nevzorov wanted to take interview me. Madame Sun Martini him on the threshold has not yet begun. And you know why? He was in a leather jacket. She said: "We go this way only the drivers and carriers." He was insulted, and then in the program "600 Seconds" watered as I wanted, Behold, he says, which sunk Edward Gil - singing in the pub! But that is not our tavern. Tavern and cabaret - very different things. There, when the audience was interested in the executive branch, they saved cutlery and listened attentively. In all the time I've played there a few times and saw that ate during my speech. And then our. And then it is a very expensive cabaret, where a bottle of vodka is 200 €. Champagne - even more. Not clear up! And the program was very interesting and rich - songs, surprises, she walked at a brisk pace, so there was no time to get bored. - With some of the emigrants of the first post-revolutionary wave you met there? - I found many. Now they are probably dead already, not really. Was there Nikita Dobrynin! From a family of farmers, the villa they had their own bank in St. Petersburg on the Neva. He asked me to go and see. I went there, and there is now a women's dormitory of a plant ... He already had the 80th with a little, during the Second World War, de Gaulle and the Resistance He has a great expert on missiles, was the Americans put on their submarines. Very much classical music - Beethoven, Schubert. He asked me, "sing for me, please," Sweetie, baranochki "". I once asked: "Nikita, why this song What a strange choice". And he said: "If I were a boy from St. Petersburg was taken away, that song was born, all the time they sing And yet -." Driver not ride "Sing, you so hard.". And each time, took the money, but I had not taken it. I could not. But at home he visited several times. Looked like it rich people live. Considered would, of course, but with a bit of luxury in Paris to show their wealth is bad form. I remember Dobrynin opened the cupboard, and there - hundreds of costumes. And maybe thank somehow with me, he decided to give me something. We had the same body type. Says: "Choose". - "Nikita - reply - well, why with all the costumes concert, but in real life I'm very democratic dress -. Jeans, jackets and sweaters." Nikita was a very open and in Russian, not greedy He's been completely in a Swiss bank account astronomical. - So, what do you think a girl - ours, St. Petersburg, but some we call poshiba such skein - rubbed into his confidence and started to enjoy it in full score. - Was she ruined a former breeder? - Thank God, no. There for a week, you can remove only a certain amount, I think, five thousand dollars. And he has more than one million. Besides newcomers go, he did not even know that there is always something to take. I warned him, but Nikita did not believe me. "What are you - he says - the shadow of the fence is induced." And this young lady that you never had it in so suspect something. And then when I got the last time, he said, "You know, Edward, you were right." And told the crowd that they removed from his account. - Probably not all our emigrants settled in France and that Nikita Dobrynin? - Of course not. Someone who worked as a driver, someone taught Russian. But the most common of all these people was - even in the most difficult situations could dignity, to preserve in my opinion, very important. "Behold the man as a man, painted difficult" - spent some time in Paris, you probably know better than the native Parisian? - Paris, I really did. At the same time there with me, wrote screenplays and filming a documentary a friend of mine - our, Russian. He knew the city very well, so I asked him: - We started with the poor - Barbes, where mostly blacks, Place Pigalle "You have shown me different areas, the rich, the poor.". - A Place Pigalle - a bad neighborhood? - I understand your irony, but at the time it really is going through hard times. Only AIDS appeared, people were afraid of infection, and the area of brothels enjoyed period of stagnation. By the way, Madame Martini also gay establishments. - Visit to the red light district without adventure? - This time, yes. But in the 64th landed in trouble. We then flew on tour in South America, and flights between the four days spent in Paris. Went on a tour of the Place Pigalle. And then I did not know that it meant special brothels for gay, then we do in terms of bad. I saw that in one of the houses of the men playing pool behind the glass wall. It seems that men like men, only colored hard. And so I was by the spectacle that the eye could not stop fascinated. Exotic! Suddenly one of them caught eyes, threw his cue - and me! In my opinion, he was ready to throw myself right there in the street! And we, as happened to me two other musicians took to their heels - sparkled only heels! Yes, it is, I'll tell you, it was a picture. Now something funny, and then it was no laughing matter. And somehow, we hiked on a small road, which was on one side of it, the girls quite certain professions, and on the other - the sailors. They behaved oddly stared at each other, then stepped into pairs and go. Suddenly, I heard one of the girls said in pure Russian friend: "Come here, it is not our product." I stood in amazement. "What makes your product?" - I question. Then she came apply to be surprised: "But are you Russian?". - "Russian" - I say. "Yes, it is - she explained - apprentices, sailors, Dutch, provided that they take, and they do not have money and some." You know what I am most? The fact that Paris prostitutes, especially girls from the former Soviet Union. And yet, what a beauty, the color! Rather than fill in the gene pool here, they have a service of this kind, it is a shame! - And to the rich neighborhoods of Paris do you have? - Of course! Go to the expensive shops - "Galeries Lafayette", "Spring", on the Boulevard Haussmann. True warned my friend before these "trips" to me. "Look at the person of your generation nervous breakdown could happen" He was absolutely right! I am a famous man in Russia, has always believed and earned enough to live in prosperity. But it turned out that the current abundance and I have no idea. If the expensive business for sale, I saw what kind of things, and how much to buy rather poor, in general, it was noticed that the middle class in Paris -. It's like we have millionaires From there I went, choking with sobs. Not even imagine was that there are people that this (!) Live like. But the friend who brought me there, and who lived many years in Paris, comfortable with such things. He said: "I am from this window simply look away I go to the store, but if I need to buy something, for example, a shirt and two ties.". Well, thank God, and we have such stores. And we can even buy there, order a catalog or something. But at a time when we are all in second-hand clothing, made a host of Paris me a very strong impression. - Do you like nice clothes? - You know, when I was young, wanted to somehow not be sure. Until one day, I did not notice Peha, "Edward, why are you so careless about his clothes?". I jokingly say how many men do you want? "No, - said - you still take care." Because love good clothes. But we have never had anything! Also actors dressed everywhere. In Lenkontserte all sewn a costume shirt. However, I have the advantage, I traveled a lot, taught himself a good fabric for suits, shoes buy reputable companies. - Edward A. Paris, and what an impression on you famous? - They are really charming women! By the way, not only Paris, but French general. I had to be just to the north and south of the country. So far, because for 300 rubles you can buy a ticket from Moscow to Paris to Cannes. Then that Lafayette was over, began to fly any aircraft. Now the charming French everywhere. In general, a woman - a wonderful thing! It is believed that she was created from the rib of man, but I do not agree. Sometimes I think that the women came to Earth from another planet. Other primitives like to create themselves, in other words, to produce, to descendants. - You want to say that this woman is not relevant? - Has natural, but it is more complicated. And in Paris, is particularly pleasing to see. It is to take care of the woman! Give her the signs of attention - to give flowers invite you to night clubs or good, really expensive restaurants. Then, perhaps, they would deign to enhance your eyes. Many of our men are outraged: "French women are selfish, it must be fed watered, then it is to sleep with you." They do not realize that these women courtship cult. And if this be said: "Girl, come quickly to me!" Nothing but contemptuous look, do not get in return. As for appearance, then in Kiev, Moscow and St. Petersburg, no less beautiful women, as in Paris. But wonderful in the Baltic States, the women! And in Poland! And in South America and Spain! Most do not go too uninteresting appearance, perhaps even an American, a comparison with our them. - At a time when you had to go a lot on tour? - I had. In the 70 th went to Australia, and from there we flew to Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong. We were the first Soviet artists, and we kept the 3:00 at the border were not allowed into the country. Never forget, as a Chinese border guard saw "serpasto, molotkasty Soviet passport" - he has caught his breath with shock. He immediately began to call somewhere, came a boss! Russian can fix or not? And then we were multinational group - actors from the Baltic States, Ukraine, Uzbekistan. So we staged concert at the airport. Border guards watch all sing, dance squat. KGB agent seem to be dissimilar. Nevertheless, we wish to enter the country. - It happens that she was outside the Soviet Union is not allowed? - Turns out, I've always had a problem with it, but I did not know. Not long ago, met a friend, a former KGB officer, he told me, and said, "You know what you have always crossed from all lists?". It turns out that the KGB. No confidence in my name Said: "Since I do not in Russian, it sounds - is Eduard Khil Maybe he's an American.". I was outraged, "Yes, all of my grandparents have always lived in Russia and the name Gil Spanish roots perhaps some of Napoleon's Legion at the Beresina Belorusochka kind lifted him remained cared because I remember my great-grandfather ..! .. high growth was a farmer, so dashing twirled mustache, much like the Spaniards and, in many Healey Baltics and Finland Recently I was invited to Estonia, I played at the Sports Palace. Began to sing one of his favorite songs - "Seaman waddling", I see: The boy goes to the ice and begins to dance. As the song Dopel, said: "He led Eduard Khil, riding Arthur Gil". A few days ago saw my son and grandson to sing "I - Captain." I - Eduard Khil and grandchildren - Eduard Khil: "The result is like a chain ..
