When choosing a university, Alina decided to give preference to the Novosibirsk Law Institute, but after receiving a diploma, she decided to devote herself to another profession. Friends persistently insisted that she had a dramatic talent that definitely needed to be realized. Alina did not take this seriously, considering acting a dubious profession in which success depends on the type and presence of charisma.

In her native Novosibirsk, Nasibullina tried to enter the theater school, but did not pass the entrance exams. Having received an education, the girl decided to try her luck and left to conquer Moscow, which had attracted her from a young age. There she entered the Moscow Art Theater School and found herself a student in the workshop of Dmitry Brusnikin.

Alina wanted to try her hand at directing and entered the German Sedakov School of Drama. In 2015, she became a theater actress under the direction of Dmitry Brusnikin and began collaborating with other theater associations in Moscow.

Personal life

Alina Nasibullina is married to rapper Husky. The real name of the young man is Dmitry Kuznetsov. The couple met in 2020. The lovers confirmed the seriousness of their feelings in 2020 by getting married. The ceremony was quiet. Being media personalities, the actress and rapper chose not to make the intimate event public.

In the winter of 2020, the media learned that Alina was pregnant. In 2020, Husky's wife will give birth to her first child. According to the actress, she dreams of a family with several children and a loving husband. For her, this is a real idyll, which is the most important thing in life.

The girl has a personal account on Instagram, where she shares her photos and stories about her personal life with followers. On the page you can see pictures with her husband, in a swimsuit, promotional images and everything that is of interest to the actress. Alina is a photographer and loves to play the guitar. Her biography, as is the case with any creative person, is closely connected with art in any of its manifestations.

The Russian economy turned out to be stronger than the Western one

Like most of his “colleagues,” the rapper Husky started with YouTube, and for several years “the kid walked towards success” until he received recognition from music critics, video bloggers and recognized masters of the genre. This happened in 2016: Huskies were declared the “discovery of the year”, “new hope” and “rising star”, after which the ranks of fans of the previously niche performer began to quickly expand. By now it is a full-fledged army.

The first thing that catches your eye in his case is the discrepancy between the external image and the quality of the material. Husky’s image is that of a “modernized gopnik” in “adiks” with a seemingly drunken voice. At the same time, his texts are quite rich poetry with complex rhymes and rich metaphors. It turned out to be “for the people,” but aesthetes are not ashamed to praise it for its fashionable beat and the power of words. “My rap is a prayer with a razor in my mouth” - and so on.

Husky’s most famous singles are “Black-black”, “Bullet-fool”, “Panelka”, “Mole 17”. Real name: Dmitry Kuznetsov. He is a journalist by training, graduated from Moscow State University, worked as a reporter for VGTRK and NTV, and was born and raised in Ulan-Ude, the capital of Buryatia, to which he dedicated the composition “Poem about the Motherland” with a lei. Social justice is one of his top topics, within the framework of which (but not only) Husky periodically “hits with rhyme” against the authorities, including the first person.

Musicians who criticize the “regime” in Russia are usually associated with the liberal opposition, but Husky is extremely far from it. Exactly the opposite - he is a patriot, is friends with the writer Zakhar Prilepin, has been to the warring Donbass more than once, and during the battles for the Donetsk airport he even tried to enroll in the Motorola (Arseny Pavlov) Sparta division. After the murder of the famous militiaman, Husky recorded a track based on Motorola's poetry.

Despite all this, over time, the rapper’s lyrics were seen as “propaganda of Nazism” (as well as “insulting the feelings of believers” and “propaganda of suicide”), after which they began to put spokes in the wheels of the “people’s artist.” A number of his concerts in the provinces were canceled by the prosecutor's office, and the most scandalous was the cancellation of a performance in Krasnodar - first in the Arena Hall, then at an alternative venue - in one of the nightclubs. As a result, Husky climbed onto the roof of a car parked at the club, but the police stopped the attempt to use someone else’s car as a stage.

The rapper was accused of three administrative charges: illegal organization of mass gatherings of citizens in public places, petty hooliganism with disobedience to the demands of a government official, and refusal to undergo a medical examination. Now we are talking about the possible initiation of a criminal case.

It is believed that the root cause of Husky’s problems is a letter from one of the deputies of the Leningrad region addressed to the Prosecutor General with a demand to check the work of the rapper and a number of his colleagues for signs of extremism (the newspaper VZGLYAD wrote in detail about this letter). Allegedly, such signs were eventually found, but the results of the examination were not published.

The artist works in Dmitry Brusnikin’s theater, but is open to various offers. She collaborates with the Praktika theater and also organizes her own experimental projects. One of them was the play “Yelenea”, for which Alina independently looked for a budget, fully engaged in preparing the production from collecting props to stage execution. Having once become interested in the performative genre, the artist continues to pursue this passion now.

Nasibullina is also trying herself in film directing. In 2020, her filmography was replenished with an original short film, which Alina herself characterizes as a tragicomedy or parable. The film tells the story of 10 female passengers waiting for a delayed train. The artist plans to nominate the film for film festival awards. Cinema has become an integral part of Alina’s life and fascinates her very much.

Mister Dog. Interview with Husky

He can be called an influencer, but at the sound of this word, Dima covers his eyes with his palm. Last year brought us not only the annoying word “hype,” but also the concept of “influencer,” the meaning of which is no less annoying than its sound. Some time ago, influencers were called opinion leaders on social networks, but today they do not necessarily have an opinion: to exert influence, it is enough to look cool and convincing in any given circumstances - for example, wearing sweatpants cool, playing cool with your child under the camera lens, recording a video with insulting your opponents or ridiculously sincerely reporting that when you’re hungover, you only dream of one thing - eating a doshirak.

We are sitting in the kitchen of a rented one-room apartment in the center. Dima says that he still doesn’t understand whether he wants to be famous or not. He wrote his rap, half of it on the table, and doesn’t remember at what point everyone began to know him. He says that popularity did not affect him in any way, “Except that before, when I sent someone, I was just Dima, and they told me: “Go yourself.” And now they say: “Well, yes, you’re a Husky, you’re like that, right?” Everyone began to delve into his head, into his past. Is he left or right? Oppositionist or loyalist? What do his friendship with Prilepin and trips to Donbass mean? The stories told in his songs do not provide direct answers to these questions; rather, they draw a map of the unconscious. If you listen to all the songs at once, you will notice how the image of a dog moves from one album to another. Dogs against the backdrop of an archetypal Russian landscape.

Kuznetsov explains: “A dog is a way to escape from your personality. I could be a cat person after all - the point is to express myself through a non-human form. However, I myself don’t fully understand where everything in the songs comes from.” He likes the song “Mole”: it’s about a mole that lives in the belly of the lyrical hero. Husky no longer remembers what this means and why exactly the mole.

Why did Luna turn to me with her bald spot - this bitch is crazy? A mole lives inside me, It eats me from the inside, stirring it, And it whispers, whispers to me: “Master! All these... are lying to you, Master! Do you want me to stick a pistol through your navel and shoot everyone? Bang-bang, bang-bang, thousand-thousand, pew-pew, Bang-bang, bang-bang, thousand-thousand, pew-pew, Bang-bang, bang-bang, thousand-thousand, pew-pew, Bang- bang, bang-bang, thousand-thousand, pew-pew..."

“Let’s just not discuss Purulent. Drink tea. It’s good - I don’t know whether it’s shu or shen - I have mixed bags.” There really was too much purulent: he, unlike Husky, decided to use his influencer potential to the maximum and agreed to sit on the jury of the TV program “Success”. Dima says that TV people came to him too. “If you go to the show “Success,” you can pay off your mortgage. Partially,” he smokes and wonders how many people naturally move into their apartments by the age of forty. He rejected the TV channel’s offer and decided that for now he would do without his own home. A rapper is a goldmine for the market: every marketer dreams of a musician, like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, leading young people to the right store to pick up his pipe. What can we say about Husky, which is good because even people who can’t stand rap can listen to it.

The word “influencer” unceremoniously entered the Russian language when different layers of culture began to mix with each other. Every schoolchild knows what medieval studies is, thanks to the public page “The Suffering Middle Ages”, the young Russian intelligentsia fetishizes the signs of the post-Soviet period, Ivan Urgant parodies the heroes of the Internet, one of the leaders of telecom attracts the YouTube freak Big Russian Boss and the singer Manizha, “who grew up”, to advertise his products " on Instagram. Everything is mixed: online and offline, pop and underground, trash and luxury. The appearance of Husky is also in some way the result of this mixture. He was greeted literally by his clothes - the same “Adidas sweatsuit” praised by the Krovostok group worked perfectly, cultural observers squealed with delight: look, the appearance of a punk, but the speech of an intelligent boy!

He doesn’t understand on whose behalf he speaks: “When a person touches on social issues in his songs, he can say which group he represents. But I can not. And in general, trying to take responsibility for someone who didn’t assign it to you is quite arrogant.” He chuckles at the confessionalism that the world's stars fell into, followed by every second listener. “A person brings out his traumas and carries them in front of him like a banner. Rappers sing about what tragic characters they are - it pays to be a romantic hero. I’d like to think that I’ve outgrown it, because I no longer feel the difference between myself and anyone else.”

Most of all, Kuznetsov does not like to be inaccurate, so talking with journalists is a procedure that makes him nervous. He was used to polishing stitches for weeks until they turned into a monolith of perfect shape. “Rap is living music, it changes at cosmic speed,” he says. — And all the heroes in this music also constantly replace each other. Every month there's a new rapper who grabs the spotlight, and I don't think I've settled my future by being one of them."

Husky sees a relationship between the style of performers and the way information transmission channels are developing: “Oksimiron is a character from the social network VKontakte, rapper Pharaoh is from Tumblr and Instagram. Now is the era of the telegram, but I don’t yet understand how it influences music. At first I subscribed to a bunch of channels, and then I read and imagined how people write all this bullshit, I recognized the writing style of my classmates, sketchy, square-headed people. And the two-hundred-year-old confrontation between Slavophilism and Westernism is also unbearable to watch, it stands in the throat.”

Dima makes tea for the third time and says that he is not interested in discussing the news. “The media is a parasite, the most important art today is the ability to abstract from the information flow, the best news is the absence of news. Because besides them, there is a lot of information that you and I don’t know, but we should. I'm talking about conceptual knowledge about the world. First you need to master them, and then understand the information flow.” Isolation from external stimuli is not his method: he prefers to turn his attention to his thought process. “What’s more important to me is not the feeling of the ground under my feet, but the conviction that I can make sense of the chaos around me.” Boiling water is poured onto the tea leaves again.

It's past midnight, and the internal editor in Kuznetsov's head falls asleep. “Previously, religion gave a person a sense of soil - it is important for us to have conceptual knowledge about our role in the system of life. Religion has discredited itself, nothing is offered in its place, and people are rushing about. Nowadays it is impossible to be a truly religious person, but there is an alternative - for example, to take some political teaching at face value. My ancestors were Old Believers, but as a person of culture, I cannot, like them, fully believe. In a sense, religion enslaved a person much less than the absence of it.” He says it's time for a post-religion: you can adopt rituals, appreciate the cultural significance of faith and religious symbolism, but you can't just believe.

“Notice this thing,” Dima suddenly says. — There are individuals whose image is of interest to everyone, but much fewer people are interested in what they actually do. This is Olga Buzova, for example. I once went to her concert, purely out of anthropological interest. I think that those who came to listen to her are occupied with the media image of Buzova, and they don’t really need her music. But there are examples of musicians who do not need new photographs of them to flash every day.”

Music industry laws are becoming stricter. Some rappers release five-track albums every six months to maintain interest. According to Kuznetsov, this is “complete crap” - it is impossible to live a new life in a year, gain so many impressions and knowledge so that it is enough for writing: “The main way to avoid repetitions is to live, do different things and stupid things. When the thoughts end, I will shut up. Writers Sorokin, Pelevin are now irrelevant, because Russia has changed, but their writing methods and intonations have not changed. Although these are the most important authors of the nineties. They expressed everything that could be expressed. I think leaving the stage is the right thing to do. There’s more to do besides rap.” Ɔ.
