Olga Shelest:

"I aim at getting as mush information on this world as I can"

by Евгений Ткач
There are so many things happening to us in this world: wars, global warming, hurricanes, floods, hot water cut off and rubbish chute clogging up, revolutions, etc. Still there do exist some few individuals who contrive to smile, kick jokes, as well as make plans for the future. A famous TV host and radio Dj Olga Shelest can be vividly referred to them. It even seems that this girl’s positive spirit can be never spoilt. Still you should never cease trying. Moreover, once you fail to manage the goal, you will learn about great many interesting things, like: dreams, Russian television and radio, first earning and a piece of meniscus, family life and vegetarians as well as the time left for all of us here.

— Why don’t we speak in a more exited tones?

— What??? You’re going to find a knife in your ribs, guy (laughing).

— Why don’t we kiss at the end of the interview?

— Well, that’s a kind of creative. Kid, where are you from? Whom did you bring me here? Let’s go back to the interview. Where were we?

— We were speaking about your plans.

— Plans for life? There can be only one ultimate plan: to live a long and happy life and die on the same day! Well, I actually dream to buy a house in the mountains somewhere in France and work as a cog railway boy: to appear at 8 in the morning and turn it on, and then come back in the afternoon and cry out: “Wind up, guys!”, then turn it off and go home to guttle French buns.

— Is that the reason why you were going to move into the country, like closer to ground?

— Right you are, going to get used to the ground. Don't you be such a smart aleck! It’s just I get sick and tired of society, when I have to communicate, to get acquainted, to do something with people all days long. After that you get home, enter you house and here they are: neighbours! Go outside to bring your dog for a walk, and again meet people, walking with their dogs.

— So why have you decided on the country then?

— It’s all different there. In the morning you wake up in an ultimate silence, an axe’s chock somewhere out there, then you can feel somebody’s burning leaves and it suddenly occurs to you that you are surrounded with a fence, which is not going to be trespassed without you agreeing. Moreover my husband has a kind of trait…

— I guess, within 11 years of mutual life you’ve become aware of all of your husband’s traits.

— And you yourself don’t know, do you? It happens that he is just about to say something and I already utter: “You know what! We are not going to buy this wardrobe!”

— Well, I am afraid I’ve lost the track now. Could you remind me what we were talking about?

— We were discussing the fact that the interview was going to last for some other fifteen minutes, everybody being free then…

— No way!

— Well, then I’ll have to get up and splash the tea into your face. You will tell me what it is like, won’t you?
