She is strict with subordinates from the ballet “Todes”, as well as with the participants in the show “Dance!”, In which she sits on the jury. However, he does not raise his voice at home and has a heart-to-heart conversation with his youngest son every morning.

Alla met “Antenna” in a down jacket, warm trousers and a hat. In the hallway there were ski poles covered with snow that had not yet melted.
“I try to walk with sticks every day,” the hostess reported. – Fortunately, there is a forest park nearby. After walking, I do stretching exercises. In general, I strive for a healthy lifestyle. Minimum alcohol, quit smoking four months ago. True, she recovered after that. And now I eat correctly, and most importantly – fractional. I think that you can eat almost anything and whenever you want, even before bed, but a little bit … Sorry, I need time to get ready for shooting.
The preparation ended surprisingly quickly – in ten minutes.
“In principle, I don’t use cosmetics,” Dukhova admitted. – I prefer chamomile or mineral water to creams. I wipe my face with it, and the skin does not dry.
What do you! At work, I am strict. I hate it when intriguers appear in the team trying to divide it into coalitions. We part with them immediately. I rarely shout, but aptly. More often I bring up with fines. This is more effective. And at home with my sons (Vladimir, 20 years old, and Konstantin, 12 years old. – Approx. “Antenna”) I am soft and fluffy. There is no strength for disputes, objections. I cherish the atmosphere of comfort and peace.
My bedroom. Late in the evening, after taking a shower, I climb into bed and start sorting mail, writing scripts. There is an office with a large table, a computer, but here it is more comfortable. On the bedside table is a pen and a notebook. If inspiration rushes at night, I force myself to write down everything that comes to mind in a notebook. Otherwise, it will disappear instantly. In general, I like to be alone with myself here. But this is at night, and during the day the house should live and make noise. To keep everything in motion, guests came, food was prepared …
Now they come less often. Everyone has a business, a family. But before … My dancers and I were filming then one-room. We lived in nine. They fenced off a small area in the room with the master’s wardrobe, threw in mattresses with pillows, and covered them with bedspreads. It turned out to be a Sultan’s bed. Six people fit. The rest slept in another area, where there was a cot, a sofa and a folding bed. A huge queue lined up in the tiny combined bathroom in the morning. There was a strict rule: no more than five minutes were allocated per person. But they lived together. During the day they worked, in the evening they bought food in the grocery store and talked until three in the morning by candlelight. Then, nevertheless, I had to move, it became very much not enough space. The next apartment was already a two-room apartment, you can invite guests to such “mansions”. Christina Orbakaite came in with Volodya Presnyakov, Alena Sviridova and many others. Long gatherings were arranged on the carpet, with wine, conversations.
Yes, my own apartment appeared not so long ago. Volodya Presnyakov came to housewarming, presented a huge beige egg. It fits perfectly into the interior, and I put it in a prominent place. A month later, an unpleasant smell began to be felt in the house, as if the mouse had died. It turned out that the stench exuded Volodin’s gift. He presented an ostrich egg, not a designer thing, as I thought. Vova then laughed for a long time: “I just wanted you to make yourself a big egg.”
I used to set such tables myself! Now there is no time at all. And the cooking assistants do an excellent job, I myself only bake pancakes, yeast-free, delicious. And I wash my underwear with socks, and by hand. And she taught the children to do this. Firstly, it is more hygienic, and secondly, it disciplines.
No, those problems are solved differently. The teenager just has to be constantly busy. Kostya, that’s always in business: lessons, studying English, Japanese, studying at the school-studio “Todes”. The son likes to dance. The eldest, Volodya, did not mess around as a teenager either. He played the piano, participated in competitions. Then he began to lead a rock band. Now he is studying to be a film director, writes melodies for films. And recently he got married!
Sure. I was shocked. He constantly said that he was getting married at a mature age. And then 19 years old – and in the registry office with a classmate.
