Konstantin Denga

I spend all my spare time in my shop. When it comes to business, you’ve got to be meticulous, making sure every tiny little detail is brought to perfection.

Honesty and integrity are the two main distinctive features of my business. I even patented the brand under my own surname — DENGA. I’ve got nothing to hide from our clients — we offer outstanding quality and brilliant service, and our prices are twice lower than anywhere else. We’re striving for European standards!

What do I think about a holiday by the sea? Best way to relax. It’s like recharging your battery; you just lie there, sun shining on your belly, and chill (laughs).

There are two things that make me happy: personal business accomplishments and the comfort of home.

I met my wife in the Internet over the ocean. At that time, I was on a business trip to Yekaterinburg, while she was in America. In a couple of weeks’ time we finally saw each other in person. And it all started from there. I guess we were just meant to be. Ever since we met in Moscow, we never parted again.

I believe that there should be no secrets in a relationship. What matters here is love, and to love means to give.

There’s no standard definition for happiness. For me, this means maintaining the feeling of emotional elevation, when you just want to keep smiling and be happy.

I’ve already done enough in my course of life. Now I’d like to expand my family (smiles). I’m talking about major expansion, at least twice the size it is now.

Kids are like the next evolutionary step, both for a family and an individual. They must grow up to be independent, love life, and love their parents — those are the three most important things.

Relationship can’t go without honesty. It’s like cement holding the whole thing together — whether it’s family we’re talking about, or a business relationship. If you’re serious in your ambitions — you’ve got to deal with them accordingly. We often get offered to have our shirts done for us in Turkey or Russia — apparently, it’s much cheaper and the quality is almost the same. But we’ve long decided that we are not going to lie to our clients and partners — if it says on the label “MADE IN ITALY”, Italy it is, and Italy only. However much it’s going to cost us!

I had this one very peculiar moment I remember. My wife and I decided that we were going to get married in Jerusalem, just so we can skip the drunken chaos of the reception part, and make it something exciting and memorable. In the morning we went to court at Khoroshuvka to register the marriage, and in the evening we were already in a church in Israel. That was amazing!

Church is a place where everyone comes when they feel the urge to. Turning it into some kind of a status event is, at the very least, a stupid thing to do.

I can’t live without Moscow’s life beat. Quietness is far more deadly for me than noise.

I don’t understand couch-potatoes. Two days without action, and I start climbing the walls.

To relieve stress, one simply needs a bit of a workout, or a swim in a swimming pool, or a trip to the country: a complete change of scenery is an extreme measure.
