Sergei and Baba FrostPhoto: Olga Vladimirovna's mom tells the family archive of Kristovskikh: “When Seryozha and Vovka were small, there was really nothing to buy in the shops, and there was nothing. We had one new year's costume of Kota in boots, so they wore it in turns. And to sew this outfit, I had to sacrifice a very beautiful velvet skirt of dark green color. I ripped it and sewed an elegant cape with strings. They found a beautiful felt hat and a real ostrich feather from their grandmother, made boots themselves, bought a white shirt with ruffles - and it turned out to be a luxurious carnival costume. The dress turned out to be multifunctional, if necessary, it was transformed into a musketeer costume. It was used not only by the Earring with Vovka, but by all their friends. In this photo, Seryozha is dressed in a bunny suit, which were abundant in every kindergarten. By the way, my clever son immediately noticed that Santa Claus was not a grandfather at all: one of her teachers wore a good wizard's costume because of a shortage in the kindergarten of men. And he laughed for a long time that Baba Moroz came to kindergarten. ”

She is a great needlewoman, always loved to sew, and still embroiders. So, for every New Year’s holiday, she would always sew a fancy dress for Natasha. And one that you couldn’t buy in stores in those days of total shortage. My daughter never begged for outfits, but always waited for her grandmother’s new clothes. For her, a new dress, even if it was remade from my old one, was the best New Year’s gift.”

Photo:Kovalchuk family archiveWhen Yulia was six years old (in 1988), a mini-performance about the war and friendship of two armies – chess and dominoes – was staged in the kindergarten for the New Year. Kovalchuk took part in it. How could we do without her! Yulia’s mom and dad made this domino army costume themselves: mom cut it out, dad made an applique of the queen’s sign. “Now I would be happy to become Snegurochka,” said Yulia Kovalchuk. “This New Year’s character is loved by everyone. Besides, she is a true embodiment of femininity and beauty.
