The voice of the singer Alena Sviridova is clear, like that of a girl. Her enthusiasm and positive attitude are contagious: after talking with Alena, you want to at least go for a run, which you constantly put off until later. And how does such an uncontrollable thirst for activity fit into this fragile blonde? Alena Sviridova spent her summer vacation in her native Kerch, and she did not sit idle there: she swam in the morning, cooked fresh fish for lunch, was engaged in arranging a new house by the sea, ran to the market for food and building materials, spent time with her sons, with the youngest studied music.

With the arrival of autumn, many begin to be depressed, and if nothing is done, they even fall into the state that psychologists call autumn depression. You are always cheerful - Share your signature way to deal with blues?

The best way is to work exclusively. You just need to make a schedule of what you will do and do it. The blues are characterized by the fact that you do not want to do anything, you want to lie and die. So, you need to force yourself to do something useful, the second, the third, so that you don't have time to lie down, mope and feel sorry for yourself. Occupational therapy is something that always helps 100%. Someone is helped by cosmetic procedures for personal care - it is distracting, and in case of a good result, it gives self-confidence. But personally, I like to do it myself, and in SPA I get bored. But I am generally strange in this regard: all these extended nails and everything that is considered to be female joys, I cannot stand, to be honest.

But you always look great and fresh

Thanks! I just feel like a very young girl.

If you start to indulge in memories and do not expect anything ahead, it means that you have come to old age. Then it's too late to drink Borjomi, no procedures will help. The main thing is how you feel, your inner attitude.

Sometimes our inner attitude also depends on loved ones. Often they help and support us, but there are other, completely opposite situations … What do you think, what cannot be forgiven a loved one under any circumstances?

If he stopped loving you. In my opinion, one cannot accept this. Because if a person loves you, this is the most important thing. And he can make some mistakes, like you yourself. But I do not take into account drugs, alcohol and physical violence - for me this is unacceptable from the beginning, it is not even discussed. And so we all, unfortunately, make mistakes and sometimes hurt each other, in general, we are all good. You just have to try to forgive each other.

How then should your ideal man, who can be forgiven, look like?

There are no ideal men a priori. Therefore, you need to choose some aspects that are most important to you personally. Maybe for someone else they are not important at all, and someone will say: "God, who cares at all?" You don't need to pay attention to this, you need to choose something that you cannot live without, because a complete set will not be all the same.

- What turns you on?

- It's good when things are done well.

- Which animal do you associate yourself with?

- Hen.

- Do you have a talisman?

- No.

- What melody is on your mobile phone?

- Guitar set.

- What is your psychological age?

- 14 years old.

- What is your favorite aphorism?

- "Everything that is done is for the best."

Alena, you are the author of the book "Suitcase Mood", in which you talk about your travels to Tibet, Seychelles and Africa. What do these trips give you in the first place?

I'm just interested in everything: new countries, new people … Is that how children differ from adults? Children are interested in everything, but adults are already bored, they have already seen everything. If you keep in yourself this childish ability to wonder and admire everything, then the trip will bring great pleasure. And the fewer the usual amenities, the better. When globalization sweeps over us, travel will lose its charm. Because what difference does it make in which hotel and in which city to live if they are all the same anyway?

So I say to my friends: “Go to Cuba - it’s as if you are in the past!” And until the communist regime collapsed, you need to go at least once (I have already been twice), because this is a real journey.

How has the contents of your suitcases changed from the beginning of your career to the present? Surely beyond recognition?

Undoubtedly. There is no longer the need to carry a bunch of things. Artists are very lucky in this regard, because many brands of clothing and footwear provide everything for free, they will bring everything to you, if only you just walked around in it. So I really have a lot of stuff. I experience tremendous pleasure when I begin to distribute this: to girlfriends, sisters, nannies. By the way, we are still changing things with my close friends, as, remember, it was before? I believe that if a thing is really beautiful, a lot of work and creativity has been invested in it, then it should find its owner and bring him joy. If this thing is not able to bring this joy to me, then I will find a new happy owner for it. Then this cycle will be completed correctly. And my friends, despite the fact that I seem to have a lot of everything, also periodically bring something, which I then wear with pleasure.

You are fond of many things: travel, diving, alpine skiing, and writing here, and after participating in the project "Dancing with the Stars" you are not going to give up your dancing classes. Is this your way to stay fit?

It seems to me that an interest in life and in everything that is still unknown in life is so simply manifested, do you understand? To this day, to be honest, I do not feel myself as an adult. Sometimes it terrifies me, I think: “Lord! Open your passport and look!”, But I still can't accept it. I think that in old age I will be like the old woman Shapoklyak, who is so naughty and jumps over fences, I somehow see myself in this role, but I can’t even imagine myself in the role of a sedate matron.

I am still playing with life, that's all, actually. Perhaps this is just a frivolous attitude to life.

In Alice in Wonderland, the Cheshire Cat says a perfectly fine line: "Getting serious about anything in this world is a fatal mistake."

Exactly! I didn't remember, but it probably got postponed at some level. The Cheshire Cat knew what he was talking about!
