Vladimir Shahrin: We sing about his Russia, and not on a "single" or "fair"

Next Sunday ageless "Children of the Mountains", in the Urals "Chaif" Headliner combines the largest national rock festival "Emmaus-2007", which opens on Friday in the Tver region. Ekaterinburg rock star for the summer saturated even begun. They fly and swim actively in the nationwide "Gold Tour" (the end of August at the Olympic Sochi), recently gave a concert in the capital, "Hermitage" garden, and the first ten days of July festival dedicated to the open air. Ekaterinburg rock star for the summer issue was saturated: This year's "Chaif" again drew attention to the Open Eyrie. They were, in fact, other times: you appear several years at all major summer festivals, then take a break. This summer, then decided to respond to the invitation? Answer: It seems - responsible Shahrin lime. - First, some festivals have changed, the organizers turned professional teams working properly. Festivals are well advertised, well attended by the public, the artists normal conditions. "The Wave" in Yekaterinburg and the "Emmaus": This year we have selected two major festivals. The first of them, I have participated attitude towards the organization and the "Emmaus" Dmitry Groisman (art-producer of "Chaif." -. Ca 's), so it's a little to our festival. Nevertheless, we had a large open area in our "Golden Tour" - Yaroslavl and Nizhny Novgorod. And in the end, for example, we have collected about 25 million viewers. Many festivals have envied. In: If you had to perform, say, the "invasion", which will not take place this year probably, and Groisman would say that you should not do is dare to question? A: I think we could find a compromise. Probably would have on the "Invasion" played under certain conditions. We help a lot, this hard, and I want to have us, the festival also provides a safety net, for example, support for the new album or something. But it's a very strange policy. The festival organizers say that over the radio ("Invasion" is an event of "Our radio." - Approx. Avtrora) they do not meet and can not guarantee anything. But when the "invasion" does not pay royalties, I would at least "greyhound puppies" like something given. On the other hand, I know that "Invasion" builds special relationship with the young group. Sometimes, they are advised not to other festivals that they will not stop playing on "Nashe Radio" and then it turns out that the organizers of the "invasion" of work to do "Our Radio" perform. I think the time will put everything in its place. Q: Why do these festivals are located away from the city? Rock is not needed more capital? To: The closer to Moscow, the more expensive. I think the festival budget does not begin simply metropolitan prices. In: Something is in everyday life "Chaif" change in the context of the upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections? You are starting to make more conversations with interesting suggestions somewhere, do something to give? to: In Concert, sometimes approaching the affected people, when they see that big hall sing with us "Ole, ole, Russia - forward". How is what we want. We declare that this really sing the people of that. From Russia, like their Russian, and not of the "United", "justice", etc. And we really do not want to fool these people Direct offers of collaboration with someone, but was not the case, and the campaign plans, we do not. The way I think, somehow, that the upcoming elections are not as boring as many assume. In my opinion, a certain psychological preparation of the people: you, they say, do not even think everything is clear, agreed. In this case, it is generally believed that all the first active voice pensioners determine. But this is more retirees. People who are now in 60 - are the ones who in the early 90s by 45-47 years. You perceive all, a little different. I think young people, especially ignored the choice may come, and actively influence the situation. So I think the intrigue, and I look forward to the election. In: In the center of Tver only a monument to Mikhail Circle. Your attitude to this fact? A: I'm with mild condescension to songs, but there are quite reasonable, young, educated people who love the song circle. And if he really is famous man of his time and the people of this city have decided that they need so there is a monument, I do not care. Q: What if one day you in your native language Ekaterinburg on the central area plan, a monument to Alexander Novikov (let him, of course, God is long) say build is how you react to it? A: Well, I would suggest: Let's maybe not establish a memorial and an honorary plaque on the house where he was born and raised singer Alexander Novikov. Why not? Many people know something about this city for his song "City of old, beautiful city." As for him, so to speak, a criminal record, I know he did not kill anyone, not killed. Novikov was just trying to organize your own business a little earlier than it was possible. in: "Chaif" - almost the only Ural group that had no relation Ilya breadwinner. But you may have accepted his death as an outsider? to: I remember on a large rock klubovskoy drunk, closed Novouralsk where, in my opinion, marks the 10th Anniversary of the "Reflection", we sat next to Ilya, talk about different topics, and then he said to me: Do you have a crap one feature - write the lyrics alone, and I'd love to work with you ... Ilyukha - powerful, controversial figure. He was not always an easy man, as in friendship and in the works. He had a lot of needles, mandrels stumbled people, and he did it. Supporters But those people who familiarity with make your life brighter. Ilia was an important feature - it is clear that justified all his claims to the people. Therefore, even those with whom he. Could substantially in this difficult and tragic situation, just everything to beat him In: But many have noticed that his friend and important ally in the rocks, Vyacheslav Butusov, funeral Kormiltsev not yet arrived. How did you do to solve it? A: I think that the glory was in a very difficult situation. When he had at the time not, it still could not be interpreted unambiguously. When he came, it would have said, in his lifetime was the breadwinner, had no time to make it up to him to find a compromise, and now there are ... So, maybe he did the right thing did something break in his actions, in words. Q: The Kormiltsev Butusov addition to various business issues, claims, say, have moral character, for example, because of the fame, according to Elias, his songs sometimes led to custom events with political overtones. He probably would give you for your statement in a June concert in Red Square, devoted to the Day of Russia have blamed? A: I asked the organizers of the concert, the audience to be on the court? They said to be easily accessible. They will come with tags, for a picture, one of the current 500 activists politdvizheny as "our" United Russia, but otherwise normal people to gather. And so it was eight thousand organized, politically active citizens was, and no one not brought. We go out to play, and we believe this is the birthday of Kim Il Sung as. At the end was a strange moment at all. All musicians who sing the finale, the Russian national anthem - in concert, that nothing bad was once in the main square of the country were well-known and young rock musicians - and they sing together their national anthem that as well, even in general. And we stand with Kostya Kinchev, and suddenly in the second verse of a young man with the flag of a political organization, and the time seems - in front of us with the flag stands up and runs on camera. Kostya and I looked at each other and quietly, so, on the third verse, have decided to withdraw from the scene. in: It is believed that most of the rock bands break up for two reasons: because of money and because of the women. With "Chaif" no such thing happened, you're not really a rock band? A: Well, not all rock bands that deal with these problems and decay. We never interfere with our relationships with the women in the life of the group. Our women do not take us for a tour, not one would come from our women never, say, the organizers of the concert and say something in the imperative to present any claim. This is nonsense. If they perish, no one looking. Sometimes happen to be that artists pathos almost more than the artist himself. You - the first lady. As for the money, we are in 1992 agreed on everything. Within the team and with our administration, with Dima Groisman with Ilya Spirin, and since these conditions do not change and do not sign any papers We were all happy. We trust each other. I do not initiate any changes, do not select the accounts of our group. Why? We know how to write songs, do the show, but we absolutely do not know how to do business. So get we do not show business. And for that we need people who can get involved professionally the financial side of the project. And these people were found. I began to learn to know for more than getting to know Groisman. in: "Chaif" still able to go on a musical experiment, or you're already in this state and condition when a sudden movement will ruin everything? to: I admit that in this case we can probably ruin everything. We already have some style. And above all I am would not change their vote. So, I think it makes sense to continue to do well what we do. Michael Margolis, "The News"
