The famous Russian party Moscow Motion first went beyond the traditional boundaries of Foggy Albion and was on November 6 in Dubai, on the beach of Atlantis Hotel, The Palm. The most prominent representatives of the Russian and Emirate elite, Russian-speaking and not very, walked, talked, danced, looked at the “stars” and listened to their creativity on the very “crown” of the man-made island, showed themselves and took home not only a lot of warm impressions, but also warm beach sand in shoes. The first Moscow party in a glamorous beach style was a success, as was the presentation of Russian Radio, which began broadcasting in the Emirates.
It was with the grand opening of the radio station "Russian Radio" in the United Arab Emirates that this delicious party began. The reason was good - for the first time in the Middle East, at a frequency of 92.6 FM, round-the-clock broadcasting was started in Russian with the whole arsenal of such a native and close to any Russian-speaking radio station, which is always well and good. Now, it will be good not only for immigrants from the former USSR, but also for tourists - it’s enough to turn on the radio and feel at home (in music) and not forget that you are visiting (for useful information).
Anna Semyonovich came to hold Russkoye Radio, who was the first to appear on the stage after greeting the program director of Russkoye Radio Roman Emelyanov. Anna quickly raised the heat along the coast with her fiery songs and dances. “City 312” followed, whose hits were sung collectively and with great zeal.
The guests used a short break in front of the second branch of Moscow Motion for active communication - after all, the possibility of communication is one of the main goals of the project. The informal atmosphere was conducive to new acquaintances, which often later became strong business and friendly contacts.
Among the huge number of guests, which were more than 2000 people, "stars" flashed every now and then, which could be encountered both on the beach and on the sidelines. Rustam Tariko, Oleg Tinkov, Emin Agalarov, Leyla Aliyeva, Maarten and Anneliese Van Den Belt, Sergey Kozhevnikov with his wife, Nonna Grishaeva, Zhanna Friske, Mikhail and Andrey Ignatieva, DJ Smash, Mikhail Vengerov, Daria Veledeeva, Petr Listerman, Leonid were seen and Marina Fedun, Alexey Matveev with his wife, Oleg Beriev with his wife, as well as numerous guests from Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan.
The headliner of the evening - Emin Agalarov, the Emirate audience was pleasantly surprised. A young successful businessman and a talented musician, a patron of secular chronicles of the business and "glossy" press, Emin gives live concerts infrequently for a select audience. Many guests of the evening did not even expect that Emmin would perform the hits of Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra one after another so qualitatively and lively. Emin performed his own songs, which finally won the hearts of girls who did not let him go from the scene for a long time.
The romantic Emin passed the baton to the most popular Russian DJ - DJ Smash, who started a hot audience with a couple of plates and shook it with his electronic networks, which the sophisticated Moscow audience craved. When it came to the cult composition Moscow Never Sleeps, well after midnight, the audience opened a second wind, which was spent on further communication, dancing and delivering tired but happy legs to the house.
Good evening, "City 312"!
We talked with City 312, hiding behind the screen of the restaurant, where the guys rested after the performance at a table filled with water. As a real city, uniting different regions together, the guys, too, are a real whole, which gives the interview collectively.
"RE": With Dubai's initiative you! What did you think of it?
City 312: For the first time, we are practically all in Dubai and, frankly, haven’t accumulated any impressions except swimming in the sea and sweating under the hot sun. Had a swim at night near the Hilton Jumeirah - such a crazy view of the metropolis! It’s a pity that one more night was left to dive - we must return to Moscow. And during the day today, while the sound was tuned, it was so hot. Some individuals even burned their noses under the emirate's sun!
But the most pleasant impression at the moment is communication with our countrymen today after the performance. We did not even suspect how many people from Bishkek live here!
Did popularity and Moscow somehow spoil you? Only honestly ...
Not yet. That is, we think so. And then, we always ask our friends if we have changed or not. While in response we hear a clear "no." And we are happy about that. Of course, we have less time to communicate with them, but they treat this with understanding and do not attribute our employment to the fact that we are know-it-alls. We are not conceited, we don’t need it. Moscow did not spoil us. We think she just has no time (laughs).
What is the news in "City 312"?
We recorded a new album, it remains to be finalized a little, and by the end of November it should already be ready. The format is traditional - absolutely “City 312”: different music, fast, chalky, lyrical and driving, everyone can find something for himself. The presentation will also be in late November or early December in Moscow. The clip is already taken. They made a DVD version of the concert.
That is, the crisis does not concern you?
What crisis is there - we have work, more than enough! It's just that when you are busy with business, you do not have time to think about the bad and even the vital. In principle, we don’t even feel free to devote a moment to the frustration about the current economic situation. This saves.
It's great. So - you're at the peak! And how do you live at this peak?
To be honest, we do not yet feel at the peak and always say that the best and most wonderful is yet to come. And all the spades, and all the best songs, are still to come. We just go our own way. Our creativity is the result of what we love and what we can do best.
Do you yourself do all the material or work with co-authors?
We have a couple of joint projects, but they are very rare. Of course, if they give us something worthwhile, it’s a sin to refuse. But 99% of the proposals do not fall under our concept. And not at all because the material is bad: we just understand that it does not look like us. So we do everything ourselves - we write the words, and the music, and the arrangements, well, we also sing it ourselves. Every idea, words, music pass a general test. We can accept, but we can’t leave stone unturned.
Aya, you, even speaking on your own behalf, always use "we". It sounds like a story about a friendly family. How do you manage to maintain and maintain such family relationships in such a large team of creative people?
Of course, we are a family team, not a blood family, although we have two siblings in our team. Such a family relationship is good because, most likely, we have been friends for a hundred years, since our youth. And in life we go together: we discuss, work, solve problems together. We never have such things that we go home after a concert: we always begin to actively discuss everything - what happened, what didn’t happen there, who did something wrong somewhere and where ... But in a friendly way, with a lot of healthy criticism which is also difficult to accept. But it cannot be otherwise: we are doing one thing, and its overall success depends on each of us individually. We are probably a little fanatics. It may be strange, but it is.
Are you cursing?
What for? Well, had a fight, pouted. The day went in vain (laughs). Many teams in Moscow started with us and did not break through due to the fact that they could not maintain relations inside, support each other. With us, if someone turned sour, we immediately kicked: "What are you? Everything will be cool!". We are still, as a single fist, like musketeers - one for all and all for one.
You are romantics ...
Probably romantics ... But in any case, we believe in miracles. Seriously! A real miracle! Everything that happens to us is a real miracle!
But there is no untrained miracle! You have to work on the “miracle”!
One must believe in a miracle, and then work for it! So it will be more correct. So we were waiting for a miracle, we worked, we worked, in heaven we "got" everyone with our songs, and then a miracle happened. But seriously, we have long and hard going to this! In Moscow - for nine whole years, every day, they made their way. It was very difficult - it was just not visible to the public. While Moscow has mercy on us, and we come across good people, it’s a sin to complain!
And so we live - we work and believe in a miracle!
Good luck musketeers!
She is so different! Meet Nonna Grishaeva! 
With the beauty and smart girl Nonna Grishaeva, we came face to face quite by accident, and it was a sin not to take the opportunity to find out from our beloved actress how things are going and how creative life is going.
Nonna! What a pleasant surprise! What are the fates?
Do not believe it - just relax. I came to Dubai to lie in the sun and breathe in the sea air. And I was invited to a party, and it was stupid to refuse - such an occasion is good, even significant.
First time in Dubai?
No, already in the third. I like the Emirates, this is my vacation, especially in the winter: I can’t endure the Russian winter pathologically, I just die. Every time I have the opportunity to escape from the Moscow winter to heat, I run. It's hot for everyone, but I'm good! Now it’s doubly good - I’m very tired, I need a rest.
So you have a clear crisis of free time?
That's it - as soon as the crisis hit the markets, a lot of work fell on me (laughs). At the same time, “Daddy’s Daughters”, and “Big Difference”, and “Two Stars”. And everything is still going on. Therefore, you need a good rest, and then there is already not enough strength. A doctor told me recently: "I can’t inject you eight sleep cubes!" I do not complain, of course, but you need to undergo periodic recharging.
Who do you recharge with in Dubai?
With her daughter, she specially planned her five-day vacation for her vacation. I have a good rest with her.
Do you also prepare a daughter for an actress?
No, why? You need to go to actors if you have powerful talent with which you can break through. My daughter is talented in something else - she draws beautifully and, it seems to me, this is precisely her gift. We gave it to the choir, and to dances, and to a music school, but there was still drawing and painting. Now we only help her to develop in the chosen direction. To each his own: at the age of seven I gave solo concerts, and she painted amazing things, made interesting costumes, crafts that I could never have done!
What are your creative plans?
I just finished shooting in Kiev, almost in my homeland - I'm an Odessa citizen. They shot an absolutely stunning New Year movie "Cossacks", where I played Catherine the Great. It was shot by very talented guys: when I read the script and laughed for tears, such successful scripts rarely happen. Now the shooting is over, and on New Year's Eve there will be a premiere.
Shooting continues in the series "Daddy's Daughters" and the project "Big Difference". Now we began to go with live concerts of "Big Difference" - in the near future Kiev and St. Petersburg.
What sensual association does Russian Radio evoke in you?
Everything will be fine!
Well, let everything be fine! And everyone!
I fully join and wish!
