Alexei Yagudin 1:1

Q- What does she call you?

A-Nothing yet. The maximum that she has correct, it turns out - is the word "give". Anything like "Mom" delivers. But mostly - is something vague.

Q-Tatiana is not embarrassed by the fact that, despite the child, you are not officially married? Probably you and your mom on this subject spoke?
A-Never had. Mom does not interfere in my life. Everything I do, I do own responsibility. Tanya's mother, unfortunately, died in a car accident, but she also never tried to advise us. Everything happens as we decide. Simply Tanya is clever and pretends to agree with me, and then does everything as she sees fit.
As for marriage, I do not burn a particular desire. For me now the main point is the child. And we're married or not married ... If people want break up, then there is no stamp on passport will not save. Besides the wedding itself as an act, I've never admired. And in this issue Tanya has the same opinion. We do not want magnificent ceremonies. Come undersign, and afterwards, something to arrange, with sun and water, with a small circle of our friends. Of course, I sometimes touch upon to Tanya about it. And in fact we had to undersign last year, the birthday of our daughter, Nov. 20. However I left for work. We'll obtain on another occasion. We have a normal human relationship. We have lived together a long time. The most important thing - is the atmosphere, which is in the family. Although, I agree with you that in many families, parents put pressure on kids so that they get married. Ours of such, thank God, do not.

Q-You've probably already thought to put or not put Lisa in skates?
A-Simply so you can put in skates. However, to give to the sport, especially in figure skating, we do not want. Tanya and I came to this conclusion, to keep Lisa away from the sport. Of course, if she wants, we will not interfere.

Q-Now you are are shown on TV, probably more frequently than in times of athletic career. The glory you are not tiring?
A-It is foolish to say that I'm tired of it. It gives me a job, and keeps on my toes. Perhaps, this popularity happened, because a long time I trained and lived in the U.S., even after the athletic career. Of course, in Russia, I was popular, but not enough.

Q-After completion of the sports career you left living in America and to return seems to be no intention of..
A-However one day came to Petersburg to visit my mother. After a half weeks of vacation time she became interested: "When you return to the U.S.?" And I said that is now than ever. Still, Russia is close to me on the internal state, and here is my home. Also, in Russia, has appeared plenty of work, and I'm happy to stay.

Q-In addition to moving from America to Russia, you have moved from St. Petersburg to Moscow. This hard decision?
A-I am with ease and very pleased to have moved to Moscow, because I do not like St. Petersburg. When I come to Peter, it seems somehow dull and gray. And if not for my mom and daughter, then I would come back as little as possible. Maybe it's because of the climate, which does not suit me? But I like Moscow. I feel good working here, though at a furious pace, but also very interesting and lively.

Q-We have seen you a regular basis on the popular ice show, you starred in music videos, have played Putin at the Theatre of satire, and one of the main roles in the TV series "Hot Ice". What else surprise your fans?
A-On the the rink, the show, "City Lights". The creator, which is Ilya Averbukh. You know, most ice shows - it's Demonstrative performance skaters. Here there is the story of several families with their problems, joy, love and hate. But all their lives unite the lights of the big city.
And I'm really happy and proud that Russia there exists a unique act. Besides, I have a lot of other projects. I have quite understand that, sooner or later, riding over, and must now find what I am doing in the future. And I think I already have found. As Anton Sikharulidze enjoys politics and I feel happy in creativity. So far quietly, but we are working and developing.

Q-Judging by your creative projects, you love to experiment. Filming advertisement "Snow Queen" was also experimental?
A-No, because I knew "The Snow Queen. " We have purchased its winter clothes, saw the clips and posters with Christina Orbakaite. I believe that our commercials turned out funny, worthy and interesting.

Q-Surprised you received from the chain stores a proposal?
A-Very. And when they called me, just in case I said: "And you're sure to type for me? You are the same "Snow Queen"? "(Laughs.) And when all was confirmed, I gladly accepted their offer. Of course, even played the role, and the fact that along with me attended Arina Sharapova, Julia Kovalchuk and Maria Kozhevnikov. I have known them all, and I was pleased to work with them.

Q-What seemed most challenging?
A-Getting up early and driving to the shooting. (Laughs.) I do not like getting up in the morning. But everything went very easily.

Q-Now almost all the famous Athletes are either deputies or someone else's counselors. You are anywhere invited?
A-There was talk, but also I do not really gravitate to it. Here Anton (Sikharulidze. - "IBC") has made himself. He always aspired to politics, and was interested in it. I've seen this, because many years we skated together. I remember he was getting ready to make some notes and reports, and afterwards I tried to read them. True, I was not particularly interested. (Laughs) I know that soon figure skating will end, and maybe I will consider this issue. But I hope that I have got something that I wanted to do.
