Profession and work
| My profession implies a certain degree of publicity. And that, I must admit, creates certain difficulties. Perhaps not even difficulties, but limits: you always have to be ready for the fact that in the evening on social media you'll see someone's photo of you walking out of the supermarket with grocery bags. That's a joke, of course. Freedom and creativity are what makes it impossible to enjoy work without. |
On attitude
| I hope the people around me would call me optimistic. I believe in success. And my faith has never let me down.
Is stepping over your own fear an extraordinary act? Proving to yourself: "I can!" Making sure that willpower isn't just an empty phrase? Perhaps all my extraordinary acts began with that. And ended in victory. |
On fashion
| Style and fashion are an opportunity to feel harmonious, to see in the mirror exactly the person you "know" inside yourself. And versatile clothing should above all be comfortable. And not stop a person from being themselves. |
On the city
| I love all of Nizhny Novgorod entirely — from the very center to the working-class outskirts, and my favorite places are the ones tied to the most pleasant personal memories. That includes Rozhdestvenskaya, the Fedorovsky Embankment, and the Upper Volga Embankment. |
Through the eyes of the press
| When Anya defended Russia's honor at the "Miss Pacific Ocean" pageant in the Philippines, fans chanted under the windows of her hotel:
— Anna Tatarintseva! Russia! We love you! And one prominent Filipino political figure fell so hard in love with Anna that for three years afterward he kept sending her letters in Russia, begging her to become his wife. Not knowing Tatarintseva's address, he wrote on the envelope: "Russia, Moscow, the Kremlin." And the letters got through! In London, Enrique Iglesias's video director courted Tatarintseva. An Arab sheikh, a sponsor of "Krasa Rossii", also fell victim to Anya's beauty. Seeing Anna, he exclaimed: "Why, this is the Russian Claudia Schiffer!" |
