Andrei Sokolov: interview, latest news 2018

- When told that you will have a daughter, and notson, what were the sensations? Still, fathers and boys are easier: common toys, general themes and, most importantly, it is clear what will happen at each stage of growing up, they themselves through something like that have passed."A daughter is a blessing." I did not care at all who would. When you realize that this is a girl, the attitude to the child does not change. For me it would be strange. Especially Sofya Andreevna - a tomboy in a skirt, originally her cars were, only now there were dolls and all the girls. And in school, it seems, she started, in the first class went.Altagamma Design Gallery Photo: Lyubov Shemetova - I do not like the word "responsibility", it immediately bends to the ground like a stone on the neck, but still when a child appears, a new stage in the life of a man begins. You have to balance your desires, much you will not be able to do. Say, for a month in the taiga ...- At that time I worked 360 days a year. But while there is work, it is necessary to work. Unfortunately, not only for a month in the taiga could not afford, but he was not on leave for many years. "With the birth of my daughter, more appreciate the days off work?- At first she did not sleep, and getting upat night it was the norm. Bags under the eyes - went through it, like everyone else. It was not easy, but now I remember with nostalgia. Any fatigue next to her daughter was pleasant, and now, when she's freaking out, there's no annoyance. At different ages, children differently provoke adults, and antics are on the verge of a foul, but ... No matter how painful and offensive, it is necessary to control oneself, otherwise communication with the child may break. Then there will be problems.Altagamma Design Gallery Photo: Lyubov Shemetova - This is the moment: Dad loves hunting, and the daughter loves little animals. And says: "Oh, the tail of the bunny brought, did you kill him ?!"- Asked such questions ... I had to compromise .- Quit hunting?- We agreed that I just walk through the forest and breathe air. She's an ardent defender of all life. "" Would the boy be easier in this regard? " Take with them, teach them to aim, shoot ...- I hope that this will happen with Sofia, onlya bit later. Years in 13-15, you can try to take your daughter on the hunt. Hunters have a five of the animals that you want to get: a buffalo, a lion, an elephant, a rhinoceros and a hippopotamus. Here I have the same picturesAltagamma Design Gallery Photo:Lyubov Shemetova - At 13-15 years old, other concerns will begin. The daughter will have suitors. Any father of a potential bride already at the age of three begins to think about what kind of son-in-law he will have…- You're talking to the living now.I often think that at some stage it will mature, new interests will appear. For example, now at school there is the first adaptation with a large number of children, and already "garbage" in words, from which grandmothers are shocked. But this is a natural process, we will not be able to raise a person isolated from society, in some kind of vacuum. And about the suitors ... She complained that a boy at school hit her on the head ... I am usually a reserved person, but here I had to suppress my emotions. What will happen next, when real suitors appear? I don’t know yet, I’m getting used to the idea that I am not the first father in such a situation and not the last. - Probably, the same bags under the eyes will be. Sleepless nights: 11 - she is not at home, 12 ... When children grow up, dads get more gray hair. And was young Andrei Sokolov a problem for his parents?"I clearly remember when there was a transition period,The hormones boiled, and from me got to others. I then began to actively engage in martial arts, could apply, although I tried not to do it. There was one fight that could end in very serious trouble, but, thank God, it turned out. I was quite an adequate child, except for two periods. In years 13-14 of all the cracks, the desire to be the first to break out, to stand out by any means. And in 19-20 years, when I enrolled in the Aviation Technology Institute and money began to appear, I got into a complete frenzy, the more I had a car, and in those days it was considered very cool. These periods are, in varying degrees, for everyone. - Modern parents show the children Soviet cartoons, they are good and teach good. From the smile everything will become lighter, do not take a cudgel ... Then the child grows up, and we begin to explain that we need to grow our teeth and bite into this life, because just like that, for a smile, nothing is given. You are preparing Sophia for the fact that a stick in the pantry should be kept just in case?- I'm trying to get the idea across to her:If they offend you, you have to respond. We've had bruises before, and more than once. I don't want my daughter to perceive me as a mentor or a bore who always lectures. The child gets tired of this and stops listening to you, so I try to dose all kinds of moralizing and in any case I don't lose contact with her.A photo: personal archive of Andrei Sokolov. There are issues in which one must be principled to the end. For example, social networks - there, after all, under the guise of a sweet interlocutor, a malevolent creature can be hidden, which pulls its nasty tentacles toward the child. The idea is to control communication 100%. But then you, dad, bore, tyrant and then on the list.- We are currently preparing a project in whichthis theme is reflected. Parental censorship is necessary, although the child will have a natural protest, but in another way it is impossible. Here, each parent has a situation like a surgeon who makes it painful for a patient to walk. I recently was at school for the first time in my daughter's school at a meeting, and in particular I was pleasantly surprised that there is a whole methodology for preventing and identifying children's contacts with negative sources in social networks, creating and maintaining a normal atmosphere in each classroom. of the movie "Survivor", and he is about shahid girls who are deceived into a terrorist organization. Is it based on real events?- In any case, it is some kind of artisticrethinking, because life is sometimes so cruel that it cannot be shown. This is the same censorship, so as not to turn the film into a documentary with the note "strictly for official use only". I can say that the actual events correspond to reality. I want to show how multi-layered and sophisticated the hydra of global terrorism is: if you cut off one of its heads, two new ones grow. You cannot cope with this disaster alone, and it is unrealistic to reach a compromise on a global scale, but it is possible to impose your own rules of the game. And I want to give a signal to the viewer: do not forget that the devil is in the details... I am a perfectionist, so the script is constantly being improved, including during the filming process.
