Darina Alekseeva biography

SPLTNK collected the most interesting quotes. I feel a huge responsibility about the position of editor -in -chief. Previously, I could afford anything, but now I am the face of the magazine and I am responsible for my entire team of amazing cool professionals with whom I work together. There were sanctions about the creation of the Moskvichka magazine, and at some point it seemed that everything had stopped, nothing would happen else.

Large brands left us, publishing houses closed their publications. But, as we see, life is in full swing, restaurants are buzzing, people go to galleries, we have some cool film festivals. Everything blooms, and everyone is interested. Around our office, around the team of Christina Poddchik and we all created a certain community. We went on excursions, we went to the galleries, we made some private parties, began to gather friends around us.

Then they realized that they were all beautiful people, passionaries, with huge social networks, with their businesses, they all have something to say. At some point, my friend Nikita Tomilin, a notorious media manager, says: "Let's do gloss." When Christina gives a team, that's all. We just wanted to make a beautiful glossy platform for our friends.

We have our cool brands, we have an amazing huge country in terms of traveling, I traveled it all myself, was from Kamchatka to Vladivostok. We just want to show that we have, because everyone is interested. If you work, hang out here. I would like nothing to distinguish us from residents of other cities. When I come to some Yekaterinburg, Cheboksary or Peter, there are the same beautiful women, they like to dress, take care of themselves.

Here we can begin to talk about what distinguishes a resident of the city from a resident of the village, but let's not. About the difference between Muscovites from Tatler, we are not Tatler. We are a gloss format. Some traditional ideas, our materials are similar as the “home” heading, when we come to visit some heroes and say: “Show your dishes”, or a rubric about your favorite thing-it seems to be in Glamor earlier.

I did not plan to make a new Tatler, someone christened in a party, and went and went. About the sponsors of the magazine, all private investments, this is not state support. And Sergei Semenovich [Sobyanin] we love from a pure heart, for free. We are open to political offices from everyone, but no, this is true, Christina is a co -investor. She [not only the Kremlin media manager], but also the publisher, she has a publishing house of rare books, this is also a project on her investment.

Plus, Christina is also a philanthropist, so nothing surprising. It is important for her to be not bored, so that we constantly do something new. About the heroes who are interesting here. These are people from business, from culture, from the glamorous world. We have enough such heroes, we have a lot of cool people, and I want to write about them. Why should I dig out someone who lives in Berlin or anywhere else.

I have been diagnosed with chronic depression about the fight against depression for 10 years. She sometimes worsened, sometimes I did not feel her, but it was even more than 10 years of such a background of my life. The first time the episodes happened at the end of the first year, I was about 19 years old, and then all these years I fought with her. I went to a million specialists, to shamans, witches, psychiatrists, psychotherapists of different price categories, saw tablets, antidepressants.

From one I had a Quincke edema, I was in the hospital. Against the backdrop of this, I had a rigid disorder of food behavior. This diagnosis, when you cannot look at yourself in the mirror - dysmorphophobia. There were days when I could not leave the house, you seem to want nothing. Sometimes I look around for these years and I don’t understand how all this happened in my life: the same success with “cloves” or work in the Kristina team against this background, when nothing brought me joy for real.

Then I ended up at the Serbian Institute for a very good specialist. I came to him at the first trick, this long way dumped at him, and he looks at me and says: "Darina, that you are starting here, you are not a sick person, everything is fine with you." And at that moment I began to treat myself as a healthy person.

Protect yourself, play sports, dancing in a disciplined. To do what brings you back. And without pills, it seems to me, depression won. I know that people who also faced such a problem, in this situation, are very difficult to say to themselves: “I am not sick,” but this, it seems to me, is some kind of way out. Just live, work hard, mandatory physical activity and not sit on antidepressants.

Because I went this path, this is a path to nowhere. Now everything is fine, I myself will cure anyone from depression. In fact, when there is a lot of work, you do not even have time to reflect, and thank God.
