Domestic stars, obviously, in pursuit of world fashion, decided to engage in charitable activities. Social activity, as it turned out, is beneficial not only for suffering animals, children and homeless people, but also has a good effect on the image, so celebrities rarely refuse to take part in concerts aimed at raising money for those in need. Especially if a small performance can be combined with a pleasant pastime.

Chulpan Khamatova and actress Dina Korzun are not new to charity - their Gift of Life! is engaged in fundraising for the needs of children suffering from cancer, hematological and other serious diseases.

“It all started in 2005, when we held the first charity concert, raised money for an apparatus for irradiating donor blood,” said Cleo about the foundation. actress Dina Korzun … - Everyone thought it would be a one-time action, and Chulpan and I thought so too. But the result was so overwhelming, so many people thanked us, looked at us with such hope that it became clear that it was within our power to do such small good deeds. During these three years we have been holding such concerts, promotions and auctions on a regular basis.

The surge of charitable activities in Russia began relatively recently, apparently with an eye on Hollywood, where almost all the stars are already throwing their efforts to help the sick and the poor. It is worth remembering at least Angelina Jolie, who, together with her husband Brad Pitt, does not get tired of traveling around the world, helping third world countries. Madonna, Ricky Martin, Jessica Simpson, Victoria Beckham … The list of top-tier stars offering their help is endless - it's easier to name people who are not socially active.

In our country, the situation with charity is worse - the tradition of helping other people has not yet taken root in the national consciousness, however, having tried it, more and more stars are trying to provide at least some kind of support to people who are somewhat less fortunate in life than they are.

- Dina, can charity work be called a new Russian fashion?

- It seems to me that this cannot be called fashion, it should be an integral part of public life. It has always been this way, and it is now or is returning. There have always been wealthy, healthy, successful people in our country. They helped, took care of sick children.

The last action of the Gift of Life! not only brought some money to children in need of medical care, but also brought pleasure to everyone who took part in it. The charity concert was timed to coincide with the closing of the skating rink on Red Square, so many stars not only performed on the skating rink stage, but also gladly put on their skates and cut them across the ice for the last time this winter.

Everyone could go for a ride in the company of movie and pop stars for just a thousand rubles, thereby helping sick children.

Plus, on this day, visitors to the skating rink got a unique opportunity to win gifts from the stars: Olga Shelest, Evgeny Khavtan, the Umaturman group, Irina Chashchina, Victoria Daineko, Tina Kandelaki and many others personally painted gift skates, which were played out during the concert …The stars did not miss the opportunity to have fun - Chulpan Khamatova, for example, did not leave the ice at all, showing the pas that she learned on the Ice Age show. Arthur Smolyaninov, not so skillfully skating, tried to repeat the movements of the actress, because of which he almost fell several times.

The members of the Disco Crash group kept up quite well on the ice - despite the fact that they did not perform on stage, they nevertheless put on their skates and made several circles around Red Square. It was generally impossible to catch Nikolai Timofeev on the ice - so quickly he rushed past the correspondents of "Cleo", sincerely rejoicing at the last opportunity to go out on the ice this winter. Olga Drozdova was much less resolute on the ice. Taking the Russian flag in her hands, she got up on skates and immediately almost fell.

- Every time as for the first time! she laughed. - I like skates very much.

Olga's husband Dmitry Pevtsov never made her company. He stood on the sidelines, hiding under black glasses, and watched his wife.

“I skate,” he explained to Cleo with displeasure, “but I won't go out on the ice today.

- Why not?

“You know, this is already an interview, and I'm not in the mood to answer questions,” the actor snapped, glancing displeasedly at the skating rink, where his wife was having fun with might and main. Singers have long been known for their sincere dislike for the press - he got too much from annoying paparazzi.

Aleksey Kortnev, although he did not skate himself, brought his eldest son Artyom to the rink and happily watched his offspring having fun in the company of girls all day.

Nastya Zadorozhnaya was less fortunate - as soon as she went out on the ice, she was immediately surrounded by a crowd of fans, eager to find out how everything would end in the TV series "Club". The actress did not reveal the secrets, but she happily posed for the fans and signed autographs.

- You know, now everything is so good in my life! - she shared her joy with "Cleo", - on March 17, a new season of the "Club" series starts, which will be the last for me, and on the 19th I am leaving for the Maldives.

- Is it really a vacation?

- No, what are you, what kind of vacation? We are shooting a video for the song "Love is not love", this is such a romantic, very positive ballad. I really look forward to this trip and hope that I will be able not only to work productively, but also to relax. Work, combined with rest, and even in such a pleasant place, is very pleasing and ennobling. And also, by the way, an interesting duet will appear very soon - I will not disclose with whom yet, but I can say that the character is very popular. With him I will try myself in a completely new genre - the song will turn out to be very groovy and funny. So everything is very good for me, and besides, look, spring is in the yard!

It seems that the spring mood overtook not only Nastya. Yevgeny Khavtan, having performed several classical Bravo songs live, also did not miss the opportunity to skate on the ice. Perhaps, only Sergei Lazarev failed to rejoice at the arrival of spring at the rink - he was always busy, he ran away on business immediately after he came down from the stage.

- Well, there is absolutely no time, - the singer muttered, leaving Red Square.
