Unfortunately not many people in Russia can penetrate the meaning of the words “creative” or “creative salvation”. People usually use them according to the trend, inputting no inner sense in the word. Russians take creative as something bright, unique, still this word comprising some negative connotation.

It’s a wrong thing, if a man puts on a branded piece to go into the essence of fashion and style. Well, in case he just aims at demonstrating his price, why shouldn’t he do so?

I’ve been looking into Oriental philosophy for a long time, being an orthodox though. But this philosophy is really my cup of tea, and it brought me to my current hobby some three years ago - to calligraphy.

I am a co-owner of a beauty salons network and a beauty academy. But as soon as I take my place by the mirror as a stylist, that ceases to be just a work for me, it turns into a business I am extremely fond of. This is a kind of another hobby of mine.

It’s not difficult to create a person all the more you know his inner world. I try a haircut I myself would like to wear on every man, a hairdresser being the only man, who can not wear the things he presents to other people.

Tranquility stands for the ability to pace yourself and advance both your inner world and your intelligence.

When I teach in my academy, I borrow much from the Oriental philosophy: I get the knowledge how to teach, how to tutor, how to direct a student onto the master’s way.

I’ve been to Naples. I’ve been brought there by a friend of mine in one of the most difficult periods of my life. I am really grateful to him for the thing. Before I started off I had read a great deal of materials about this country, still being not that clearly aware of the place I was leaving for. But once I stepped on the path, it all cleared up at once (laughing). It’s a highly difficult thing to stay yourself in Naples, but you have to, to come back to your family and stay a man, being able to value the things you have got here. Many people take this country as a kind of tale, the place being far from this in reality. It’s extremely important to stay yourself there and keep your priorities and values which will prevent you from getting trapped by fake illusions.

Nobody cares how much money you have there. You may have much but quantity does not imply quality. It’s like your money do not determine your real status.

We try to teach people to get a trust in themselves and their inner strength. Russians are very talented and we are to prove to the whole of the world that we do not wear bast shoes.

You can’t teach a person, he can only learn himself.

It always feels great, when you have true rivals as opposed to mean ones. It feels good, when you simply have to prove to everybody that you are the best. It’s worse, when you know that you are the best due to your great sponsors.
