While visiting Pugacheva, the famous set designer develops a beastly appetite

While visiting Pugacheva, the famous stage designer develops a beastly appetite

I have known Boris KRASNOV since the mid-90s. Like many of his friends, I was shocked when three and a half years ago the famous production designer was unexpectedly detained and faced with serious charges. Allegedly, he was part of a group of people extorting 100 percent of shares authorized capital from the Inconnect company, which organized exhibitions. Krasnov faced up to 15 years in prison. During the investigation, he was released by the court on bail of 5 million rubles. But literally two weeks later he was struck down by a severe stroke. Since then, information about him has been extremely scanty and fragmentary. Like, he was in a coma, then he was transported abroad...
When I managed to reach him a year ago, Boris said that he had already returned to Moscow, was continuing treatment and, as soon as the doctors allowed, he would be the first to give an interview to me. To Boris's credit, he kept his word.

And so I go into his office in the brainchild he created - the Forum Hall celebration hall. Krasnov When he meets me, he cheers up and takes a few steps, leaning on his cane. His assistant Sergei insures him.
- Of course, readers are primarily interested in your health!
- Thank you, I’m recovering slowly. I can walk, though, with difficulty. Left hand not yet in working order. I had a right-sided stroke, so most of the problems were with my left arm and leg. By the way, if it were left-handed, we wouldn’t be talking now. Fortunately, the memory was not affected either. I'm having fun here - I ask my assistant to tell me any football team from the USSR football champions and can easily name all the players, including substitutes.

Well, with your rhythm of life, you got off easy. I remember how you worked. Almost no days off. Have you been to a sanatorium at least once in your life?
- What a sanatorium! Jumped up at six in the morning - and go! My family and friends all asked me: “Slow down!” Mikhail Tanich , may the kingdom of heaven be upon him, on each of my birthdays he wrote an epigram: “Krasnov is a thing in speed somewhere between the speed of sound and the speed of light.” Or here’s another: “There was no order twice, and Borya was at home twice. / How can I check this libel? And by the number of children!” I practically did not take care of my health. I smoked two packs a day. I drank 35 cups of coffee...
- I know that in Hard time Pugacheva provided you with great moral support. You have special relationship with Alla Borisovna?
- Yes, we have, as they say, a creative romance. Anything happened between us. It happened that my scenery was destroyed with a microphone. One minute she likes everything, but after a couple of minutes she screams - redo everything. It seems to me that sometimes Alla is unpredictable for herself.
We still often call her back. A month ago we had dinner together - at her home, with Maxim, in their castle. You know, it’s an amazing thing - Alla, no matter where she lives, has such an atmosphere in her house that she eats very well, she’s just overcome with some kind of hunger! Whatever she cooked, I always swallowed it right away! Very tasty! By the way, I ate her cooking not only at her place, but also at my place. I noticed that Alla is not always serious when it comes to cooking. I remember a long time ago they came to see me with Sergei Chelobanov spontaneously. Alla took everything that was in the refrigerator, poured it into a pan, threw cheese on top, and when it melted, please bring it to the table - the dish is ready. And she dedicated it to me and Chelobanov...
By the way, a month ago I saw Max and him for the first time. They are simply wonderful! This is some kind of fantasy - I have never seen such a resemblance: Garik is just a copy of Max. Facial expression, eyes, lips, nose - one to one. Such a serious boy. And Lisa is just a doll, such a blonde with a pink bow and curly long hair.

- Did you give anything to the children?
- Of course, but how? Garik - a car-bicycle. You press the button and it takes you. And for Liza, there’s this big thing: you press it, and something plays, beeps, crows, and speaks English. But most of all she was delighted to see a doll that brushes its own teeth.
You know, watching Alla look with great tenderness at her two angels - Garik and Lisa, I thought that, probably, only now, perhaps, for the first time, she truly felt what it was like to be a mother. At one time, when Christina was growing up, she had a monstrous touring schedule, she was constantly running around with concerts. I also couldn’t devote much time to my grandchildren. And only now he spends as much time with the kids as necessary and gets tremendous pleasure.
I recently organized a raffle for guests. Guests on his birthday (January 22, Krasnov turned 54 years old. - OK. ) reported that during his illness he constantly watched news abroad. And one piece of news struck me so much that my head turned around and I, they say, began to engage in something unusual for me - writing songs. And he dedicated one of them to Alla and Max. It comes out here Natalie and sings: “Oh God, what a man, I want a son from you. And a daughter!” Everyone burst out laughing.

Oh, I remembered! Borya Moiseev told me: when he had a stroke, the cutlets that Alla Borisovna personally fried for him and brought to his ward helped him a lot!
- This is true. And many people helped me too. Although, of course, I don’t remember well the first time after the stroke - I was in a coma for too long, almost three months. Borya, as far as I know, was not in a coma. That’s also probably why it’s taking me so long to recover now. My wife became my guardian angel - she did not leave the bed for a minute. And without a doubt mine best friend and partner - Konstantin Petrov, for which I am very grateful to him.

When the doctors were asked what percentage chance there was that I would live, they shrugged: none. Special thanks, first of all, to Russian doctors. In particular, to the head of the neuroreanimation unit of the clinic where I was hospitalized - Pavel Härkenen.
After I came out of the coma, it was decided to continue treatment abroad. At first it was a clinic in Germany - I spent six months there. The forecasts of German doctors were disappointing. They said that I would not only never be able to walk, but even sit in a chair. But I still did not lose heart - I continued to believe in miracles.

After another six months, we were advised to change the clinic. I was brought to Montreux, Switzerland, on a stretcher. Every day I worked for many hours with physiotherapists - by the way, they are all Portuguese, very good specialists who literally force the patient to get up. Nothing moved, not even my feet.
When I started moving my legs and shoulders, it was my first victory. Then he learned to get out of bed and move into wheelchair. The pain was terrible, as if everything were grinding you into two. But after a few months I took the first step.
To be treated in Western clinics for almost three years without insurance would be unthinkable without financial support friends, and besides this, for example, Joseph Kobzon And Alla Pugacheva helped find good specialists. They visited me in a Swiss clinic Valera Syutkin, Igor Krutoy, Sasha Fayfman. My beloved mother and father also often visited, creating a truly homely environment for me.

The investigation is over, forget it!

I think these terrible accusations of extorting a controlling stake from the Inconnect company, which all the newspapers wrote about at that time, could also affect your health...
- Rather, it became like the final point. After all, before this we had an incredibly difficult project - preparing the Russian Pavilion for the World EXPO 2010 in Shanghai. Among five hundred exhibitions in terms of attendance, our pavilion took first place and second place for the best presentation of the theme “Better city - better life.” It's like winning the Grand Prix at the Oscars. But, despite such enchanting success, there were constantly some groundless attacks from some media that drove me into a frenzy - they were so unfair and dishonest. And this story with my alleged participation in extortion... Of course, it was terribly offensive that I, a person who had done so much for the USSR and Russia over 35 years, organized many of its landmark projects, fifty percent of which were at the government level, was accused of which I didn't do.
For the first time in my life I found myself in the unusual role of a suspect! Naturally, I was internally wounded by all this injustice; I wouldn’t wish anyone to endure such accusations. Stroke, translated from Latin, means “offense.” As I know from the words of my assistant, this happened during the day, right in the office. Fell, lost consciousness...

When I fell ill, the criminal case was separated into separate proceedings and suspended. No investigative actions were carried out on him. But the investigation was always notified where I was, at what stage my treatment was at. After being discharged from the hospital, the investigation was resumed.
As a result of an objective investigation in December 2014, a decision was made that there was no corpus delicti in my actions.
Of course, I didn’t doubt for a second that everything would end this way. However, like all my friends. Lolita, for example, when they questioned her, she kept repeating: “What are you doing?! This is a man who can only give - he cannot take anything away!
- What do you want more than anything in the world at this second?
- Drink and smoke! But this is absolutely forbidden. After the stroke, I did not drink a single drink or smoke a single cigarette. And I will not. I want to live. And I look into the future with optimism. After all, they left me in this world for something - probably for something good. Essentially, I am living a second life now. Indeed, the signal given was too serious. In order for a revaluation of values ​​to occur. And it certainly happened.

With daughter Darina.

The famous set designer Boris Krasnov invited his friends to a luxurious banquet in honor of his anniversary. The entire Moscow elite gathered in the Safisa celebration palace, where the most significant social events take place. Among those invited to the evening were prominent politicians and businessmen, as well as many Russian pop stars, who are connected with Boris not only by common projects, but also by a strong long-term friendship. Thus, Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin, Andrei Malakhov, Valentin and Galina Yudashkin, Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov, Dmitry and Polina Dibrovy, Valery and Viola Syutkin and many other artists came to congratulate Krasnov. All evening his beloved daughter Darina was next to her father.

The 55-year-old birthday of the legendary artist and producer was celebrated on a grand scale. Just look at the fiery show of the chefs, which delighted the guests. The tables were full of gourmet dishes and original snacks, and drinks of elite brands flowed like a river. Among the artists who took the stage that evening was famous singer Tamara Gverdtsiteli. The fun continued until late in the evening.

Let us remember that in the fall of 2011 Krasnov was struck down by a stroke. After two years of intensive treatment in Germany, Boris returned to Russia, where he continues to recover to this day. " Left side Boris’s body still doesn’t work – neither his leg, nor his arm. Therefore, when friends, with the permission of the doctors, take him from the hospital to sit with him in a restaurant on Barrikadnaya, Krasnov has to sit in wheelchair. “He can’t move on his own,” the set designer’s friend Oleg shared with StarHit. – But speech has almost completely recovered. Doctors say it’s a miracle, because he was in a coma for about six months!”

An excerpt characterizing Krasnov, Boris Arkadevich

“There are people just like us, and there are people worse than us,” she thought.
Peronskaya named the countess the most significant people who were at the ball.
“This is the Dutch envoy, you see, gray-haired,” said Peronskaya, pointing to an old man with silver gray curly, abundant hair, surrounded by ladies, whom he made laugh for some reason.
“And here she is, the queen of St. Petersburg, Countess Bezukhaya,” she said, pointing to Helen as she entered.
- How good! Will not yield to Marya Antonovna; Look how both young and old flock to her. She is both good and smart... They say the prince... is crazy about her. But these two, although not good, are even more surrounded.
She pointed to a lady passing through the hall with a very ugly daughter.
“This is a millionaire bride,” said Peronskaya. - And here are the grooms.
“This is Bezukhova’s brother, Anatol Kuragin,” she said, pointing to the handsome cavalry guard who walked past them, looking somewhere from the height of his raised head across the ladies. - How good! is not it? They say they will marry him to this rich woman. And your sauce, Drubetskoy, is also very confusing. They say millions. “Why, it’s the French envoy himself,” she answered about Caulaincourt when the countess asked who it was. - Look like some kind of king. But still, the French are nice, very nice. No miles for society. And here she is! No, our Marya Antonovna is the best! And how simply dressed. Lovely! “And this fat one, with glasses, is a world-class pharmacist,” said Peronskaya, pointing to Bezukhov. “Put him next to your wife: he’s a fool!”
Pierre walked, waddling his fat body, parting the crowd, nodding right and left as casually and good-naturedly as if he were walking through the crowd of a bazaar. He moved through the crowd, obviously looking for someone.
Natasha looked at him with joy Familiar face Pierre, this clown of a fool, as Peronskaya called him, and she knew that Pierre was looking for them, and especially her, in the crowd. Pierre promised her to be at the ball and introduce her to the gentlemen.
But, before reaching them, Bezukhoy stopped next to a short, very handsome brunette in a white uniform, who, standing at the window, was talking to some tall man in stars and ribbon. Natasha immediately recognized the short man young man in a white uniform: it was Bolkonsky, who seemed to her very rejuvenated, cheerful and prettier.
– Here’s another friend, Bolkonsky, do you see, mom? - Natasha said, pointing to Prince Andrei. – Remember, he spent the night with us in Otradnoye.
- Oh, do you know him? - said Peronskaya. - Hate. Il fait a present la pluie et le beau temps. [It now determines whether the weather is rainy or good. (French proverb meaning that he is successful.)] And such pride that there are no boundaries! I followed my daddy's lead. And I contacted Speransky, they are writing some projects. Look how the ladies are treated! “She’s talking to him, but he’s turned away,” she said, pointing at him. “I would have beaten him if he had treated me the way he treated these ladies.”

Suddenly everything began to move, the crowd began to speak, moved, moved apart again, and between the two parted rows, at the sound of music playing, the sovereign entered. The master and hostess followed him. The Emperor walked quickly, bowing to the right and left, as if trying to quickly get rid of this first minute of the meeting. The musicians played Polskoy, known then by the words composed on it. These words began: “Alexander, Elizabeth, you delight us...” The Emperor walked into the living room, the crowd poured to the doors; several faces with changed expressions hurriedly walked back and forth. The crowd again fled from the doors of the living room, in which the sovereign appeared, talking with the hostess. Some young man with a confused look stepped on the ladies, asking them to move aside. Some ladies with faces expressing complete obliviousness to all conditions of the world, spoiling their toilets, pressed forward. The men began to approach the ladies and form Polish pairs.
Everything parted, and the sovereign, smiling and leading the mistress of the house by the hand, walked out of the living room door. Behind him came the owner with M.A. Naryshkina, then envoys, ministers, various generals, whom Peronskaya kept calling. More than half of the ladies had gentlemen and were going or preparing to go to Polskaya. Natasha felt that she remained with her mother and Sonya among the minority of ladies who were pushed to the wall and not taken in Polskaya. She stood with her slender arms hanging down, and with her slightly defined chest rising steadily, holding her breath, her shining, frightened eyes looked ahead of her, with an expression of readiness for the greatest joy and greatest sorrow. She was not interested in either the sovereign or all the important persons to whom Peronskaya pointed out - she had one thought: “is it really possible that no one will come up to me, will I really not dance among the first, will all these men who are now not notice me?” It seems that they don’t even see me, and if they look at me, they look with such an expression as if they were saying: Ah! it's not her, there's nothing to watch. No, this cannot be! - she thought. “They should know how much I want to dance, how great I am at dancing, and how much fun it will be for them to dance with me.”
The sounds of the Polish, which continued for quite a long time, were already beginning to sound sad - a memory in Natasha’s ears. She wanted to cry. Peronskaya moved away from them. The Count was at the other end of the hall, the Countess, Sonya and she stood alone as if in a forest in this alien crowd, uninteresting and unnecessary to anyone. Prince Andrey walked past them with some lady, obviously not recognizing them. Handsome Anatole, smiling, said something to the lady he was leading, and looked at Natasha’s face with the same look as one looks at the walls. Boris walked past them twice and turned away each time. Berg and his wife, who were not dancing, approached them.
Natasha found this family bonding here at the ball offensive, as if there was no other place for family conversations except at the ball. She did not listen or look at Vera, who was telling her something about her green dress.
Finally, the sovereign stopped next to his last lady (he was dancing with three), the music stopped; the preoccupied adjutant ran towards the Rostovs, asking them to step aside somewhere else, although they were standing against the wall, and the distinct, cautious and fascinatingly measured sounds of a waltz were heard from the choir. The Emperor looked at the audience with a smile. A minute passed and no one had started yet. The adjutant manager approached Countess Bezukhova and invited her. She raised her hand, smiling, and placed it, without looking at him, on the adjutant’s shoulder. The adjutant manager, a master of his craft, confidently, slowly and measuredly, hugging his lady tightly, set off with her first on a glide path, along the edge of the circle, at the corner of the hall, he picked up her left hand, turned it, and because of the ever-accelerating sounds of the music, only measured ones were heard the clicks of the spurs of the adjutant’s quick and dexterous legs, and every three beats on the turn a fluttering light seemed to flare up velvet dress his ladies. Natasha looked at them and was ready to cry that it was not she who was dancing this first round of the waltz.
Prince Andrei, in his colonel's white (cavalry) uniform, in stockings and shoes, lively and cheerful, stood in the front rows of the circle, not far from the Rostovs. Baron Firgof spoke with him about tomorrow's supposed first meeting state council. Prince Andrei, as a person close to Speransky and participating in the work of the legislative commission, could give correct information about the meeting tomorrow, about which there were various rumors. But he did not listen to what Firgof told him, and looked first at the sovereign, then at the gentlemen who were getting ready to dance, who did not dare to join the circle.
Prince Andrei observed these gentlemen and ladies timid in the presence of the sovereign, dying with desire to be invited.
Pierre walked up to Prince Andrei and grabbed his hand.
– You always dance. There is my protegee [favorite], young Rostova, invite her,” he said.
- Where? – asked Bolkonsky. “Sorry,” he said, turning to the baron, “we’ll finish this conversation somewhere else, but we have to dance at the ball.” “He stepped forward in the direction that Pierre pointed out to him. Natasha’s desperate, frozen face caught the eye of Prince Andrei. He recognized her, guessed her feeling, realized that she was a beginner, remembered her conversation at the window and with a cheerful expression on his face approached Countess Rostova.
“Let me introduce you to my daughter,” said the countess, blushing.
“I have the pleasure of being an acquaintance, if the countess remembers me,” said Prince Andrei with a polite and low bow, completely contradicting Peronskaya’s remarks about his rudeness, approaching Natasha and raising his hand to hug her waist even before he finished the invitation to dance. He suggested a waltz tour. That frozen expression on Natasha’s face, ready for despair and delight, suddenly lit up with a happy, grateful, childish smile.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time,” as if this frightened and happy girl said, with her smile that appeared behind the ready tears, raising her hand on Prince Andrei’s shoulder. They were the second couple to enter the circle. Prince Andrey was one of the best dancers of his time. Natasha danced superbly. Her feet in ballroom satin shoes quickly, easily and independently of her did their job, and her face shone with the delight of happiness. Her bare neck and arms were thin and ugly. Compared to Helen's shoulders, her shoulders were thin, her breasts were vague, her arms were thin; but Helen already seemed to have a varnish on from all the thousands of glances sliding over her body, and Natasha seemed like a girl who had been exposed for the first time, and who would have been very ashamed of it if she had not been assured that it was so necessary.
Prince Andrei loved to dance, and wanting to quickly get rid of the political and intelligent conversations with which everyone turned to him, and wanting to quickly break this annoying circle of embarrassment formed by the presence of the sovereign, he went to dance and chose Natasha, because Pierre pointed him out to her and because she was the first of the pretty women to come into his sight; but as soon as he embraced this thin, mobile figure, and she moved so close to him and smiled so close to him, the wine of her charm went to his head: he felt revived and rejuvenated when, catching his breath and leaving her, he stopped and began to look on the dancers.

However, Boris Krasnov himself considers it a great achievement that he was able not only to get out of a wheelchair, but also to move independently with the help of a cane. “I walk, though, with difficulty. The left hand is still inoperative. I had a right-sided stroke, so most of the problems were with my left arm and leg. By the way, if it were left-handed, we wouldn’t be talking now. Fortunately, the memory was not affected either. I’m having fun here: I ask my assistant to name me any football team from the USSR football champions and easily name all the players, including the reserves,” he said.

According to the set designer, he remembers the first time after the stroke poorly - he spent almost three months in a coma. “That’s also probably why it’s taking me so long to recover now. My wife became my guardian angel - she did not leave the bed for a minute. And, without a doubt, my best friend and partner Konstantin Petrov, for which I am very grateful to him. When the doctors were asked what percentage chance there was that I would live, they shrugged: none. After I came out of the coma, it was decided to continue treatment abroad. At first it was a clinic in Germany - I spent six months there. The forecasts of German doctors were disappointing. They said that I would not only never be able to walk, but even sit in a chair. But I still did not lose heart - I continued to believe in a miracle,” Express Gazeta quotes Krasnov.

After another six months, he was advised to change clinics. “They brought me to Montreux, Switzerland, on a stretcher. I worked with physiotherapists for many hours every day– by the way, they are all Portuguese, very good specialists who literally force the patient to get up. Nothing moved, not even my feet. When I started moving my legs and shoulders, it was my first victory. Then he learned to get out of bed and transfer to a wheelchair. The pain was terrible, as if everything were grinding you into two. But after a few months I took the first step. For almost three years, being treated in Western clinics without insurance would have been unthinkable without the financial support of friends. In addition, for example, Joseph Kobzon and Alla Pugacheva helped find good specialists. Valera Syutkin, Igor Krutoy, and Sasha Fayfman visited me at the Swiss clinic,” Krasnov said.

The set designer is only committed to recovery, although he admitted that he dreams of drinking and smoking. “But you absolutely cannot do this. After the stroke, I didn’t drink a single glass or smoke a single cigarette. And I won’t. I want to live and look into the future with optimism. After all, they left me in this world for something – probably for something good. Essentially, I am living a second life now. And in fact, the signal was given too serious for a reassessment of values ​​to occur. And it certainly happened,” concluded Boris Krasnov.

In September 2011, the decorator's reputation was seriously tarnished due to extortion attempts. According to investigators, Krasnov and several accomplices threatened a Moscow businessman in order to take over his company worth five million rubles. As a result, the amount of the deposit for the production designer amounted to the same five million rubles. Soon the decorator suffered a stroke, due to which he did not appear in court. After the operation, which he underwent due to the discovery of cerebral edema, the artist fell into a coma, and when he came out of it and began to come to his senses, the doctors deliberately put Krasnov into a coma so that he would not waste his strength.

His lawyer Alexander Dobrovinsky announced the hasty departure of the decorative artist for treatment abroad. “Boris did not have a written undertaking not to leave, he is on bail, so his movements could easily take place all over the world,” the lawyer said, adding that Krasnov’s condition has noticeably improved, but he requires a long course of rehabilitation due to the serious consequences of the stroke. The decorative artist was taught to walk and talk again. Meanwhile, information has emerged that Boris Krasnov could fly out of the country to evade justice. As a result of the investigation in December 2014, no crime was found in Krasnov’s actions.
