I know perfectly well what I'm doing
- This is my first child who was not born witha terrible blizzard outside the window on a Moscow night. , when it was dark outside, snow was falling. And this one - on a sunny, beautiful May day. I just saw Ilyusha's eyes, they are gray-blue, like mine and his mother's - and it's wonderful! With the birth of the youngest, nothing has changed in our lives. What could have changed? Polina and I were aiming for this! This is my first child, born by accident, when I was 22 years old, and now I'm almost 56, I know exactly what I'm doing. Who does Ilya look like? Now I can hardly answer this question. Let's wait five years. Although it seems to me, a little - like newborn Sasha, the older brother. There is a lot of hair on his head, like my previous sons. And when he was born, Ilyusha screamed just like Sasha. Think about it: now this Ilyusha is only 52 centimeters in the Universe. I can say that he was born in a very conscious family. Yesterday and the day before, all of Russia, the entire Internet welcomed the birth of Ilyusha! Even Vanka Urgant blurted it out yesterday – that surprised me! I called Polina at the maternity hospital: “Turn on the TV quickly, Vanka is going to talk about us now!” This is such a karmic advance! The whole country was waiting for this poor Ilyusha. Now he will have to work it off.Now three brothers will play in the nursery. Photo: Dmitry Drozdov
Why Ilya?
- I like this name - Ilyusha.An old Russian – why not name a child that? Think about it: a name definitely influences a person’s character. Imagine a person whom absolutely everyone calls “Gavriil, Gavriil, Gavriil” since childhood. What will become of this person? But everyone will say “Ilechka, Ilyusha” – he will be gentle, smart, subtle. I imagine my family in ten years: everything will be the same for us. I will obviously be forever making a revolution on television, and, as always, I will fail. The children, of course, will be educated and subtle people – in fact, they have no choice. And mom will still be beautiful.
