Anya Moon's childhood and youth
Anya Saltykova was born on September 2, 1995 in Moscow, in the family of performer Viktor Saltykov and his second wife, linguist Irina Metlina. Anya has a brother Svyatoslav, who is 13 years younger than the girl.

The girl grew up in a creative atmosphere - as a child, Anya attended a theater studio, where she studied music and acting. However, the studio classes did not inspire Anya too much, but she always liked singing on stage.
At some point, Anya, perhaps wanting to follow her own path and gain independence from her father’s big name, decided to connect her life with fashion and entered the London University of the Arts. However, the girl soon hated studying at a fashionable university.
As a result, Anya gave up fashion and entered a music university. Her parents approved of her choice. Viktor Saltykov, who never understood Anya’s passion for fashion, was especially pleased with his daughter’s step, but did not dare to go against the girl’s wishes.
Anya Moon loved to sing since childhood
Anya lived in England for a total of four years. According to the girl, for the first 2.5 years she felt complete euphoria from what was happening, but then she really missed Russia. But her studies allowed her to learn English perfectly and compose her own songs in this language.
At the British Throne: the fascinating life and fate of Princess Anne
Royal childhood
Princess Anne was born on August 15, 1950, and a few years later her mother became queen.
Despite the fact that Prince Charles was and remains the main heir to the throne, in childhood Anna received more attention and newspapers wrote about her more often. From an early age, she understood and accepted the special status of the royal family and was not offended that her parents went on a trip without her. After stories that the queen did not particularly care for the children, Anne issued a statement that this was not true.
She communicated more with her father, with whom she shared the same temperament. Since childhood, the princess had a strong character, and she was even considered a hooligan and an insufficiently educated girl for royal life. However, over time everyone got used to it, and Anna found many things to do to her liking.
For example, she signed up for the Girl Guide squad, an analogue of the American Scouts. It was a neat solution for the socialization of the little princess who was homeschooled: troop meetings were held right at Buckingham Palace!
In 1963, she went to Benenden School for Girls and made new friends there. But Anna was never particularly close to her own brothers: they mostly met at official events.
The kingdom is more important!
After graduating from school, the princess, who had excellent grades, did not go to university, but became an official representative of the royal family. A year later, she became president of the Save the children association and became involved in charity work. Anna never received a higher education.
Stormy personal life
Before her official marriage, Princess Anne had other relationships. So, she had an affair with Andrew Parker-Bowles, who later married Camilla Shand... Yes, the same Camilla Parker-Bowles whom Prince Charles eventually married!
Anne's relationship with Andrew did not work out for one reason: he was a Catholic, unlike the members of the royal family. History is silent about why the lovers did not solve this problem, but in 1970 they parted as friends. Subsequently, he became the godfather of Anna's daughter Zara (that is, the issue of religion was nevertheless resolved).
On November 14, 1973, Princess Anne married Captain Mark Phillips. They were united by their love of equestrian sports: she had been excellent in the saddle since childhood. The chosen one at the Olympics in 1972 won a bronze medal in the competition.
The wedding was great! More than 500 million people watched her on TV. Anne wore the Queen Mary veil that her mother wore when she got married.
In 1977, Anna gave birth to a son, Peter, and in 1981, a daughter, Zara.
It’s interesting that the queen offered to give Anne’s children titles (they are reserved only for the children of Elizabeth’s sons), but she refused, so Peter and Zara grow up freer and are not dominated by royal duties.
Attempted kidnapping
Despite the security, members of the royal family sometimes risk their lives no less than ordinary people. On March 20, 1974, a mentally ill man, Ian Ball, blocked the road to the limousine in which Anna was traveling with her husband, opened fire and tried to pull the princess out of the car, inviting her to spend a couple of days with him.
Anna later recalled that she fell into a stupor: if she had hit him, he could have killed her. He wounded one guard and nearly killed another. At the trial it turned out that he had problems with his head, and Ball was isolated from society.
Olympic achievements
Inspired by the example of her husband (who, by the way, competed at the Olympics in 1988), Princess Anne also took part in equestrian competitions at the Olympics in Montreal in 1976. She did not win a medal, but in 2012 her daughter Zara did, and won silver. By the way, in 2006 Zara won the World Championship!
Divorce and new marriage
In 1992, after almost 20 years of marriage, Anna separated from Mark Phillips. She is the second royal in the 20th century to file for divorce (the first was her aunt, Princess Margaret).
The princess's second husband was Timothy Lawrence, commander of the naval forces. They married on December 12, 1992 in Scotland. They say they knew each other for several years. And also that both Anna and Mark cheated on each other. Of course, these rumors cannot be verified officially.
Princess Anne remains one of the busiest members of the royal family, attending more than 500 events a year! At the same time, she manages to be a loving grandmother of four grandchildren. And, of course, he has no illusions that 12th place in line to the throne will turn into first.

Creativity of Anya Moon
The girl began introducing viewers to her work back in 2015, through blogs on her YouTube channel and Instagram page. Mostly the girl talked about her life in London and trips abroad, but sometimes she posted cover versions of famous songs, accompanying herself on the guitar.
Many of her covers eventually ended up in the popular community on YouTube “Best covers” - it was from there that Internet users learned about Anya.
By that time, the girl was already performing under the pseudonym Moon. Later, Anya said that the idea for the nickname came to her in a dream.
In the fall of 2020, Anna took part in the vocal competition “My Chance”, winning many hearts of fans of good music.
Fame
Anna Saltykova was able to receive her first rays of fame during her stay in London. Then the young girl simply posted some videos with stories about the city in England itself, as well as about the trips she had made on Instagram and YouTube. True, there were times when Anna posted short videos where she performed cover songs of popular artists. With each new video, Anna gained more and more fame, until she eventually ended up in the popular YouTube community “Best covers”.
Thus, many network users began to know the girl, which helped her gain more confidence. Thus, she decides to take part in a music competition called “My Chance”, where she was able to achieve a lot of success and win the hearts of many viewers. As for her pseudonym Anya Moon, she dreamed about it in a dream, and she decided to use it as a kind of talisman for good luck.
In 2020, Anya Moon took part in the new season of “Star Factory”, the qualifying round of which passed without much difficulty. At her first performance, she was able to sing a song with her own father called “The Leaves Have Flew Away.” After that, she was able to perform with many famous and talented performers, until she eventually left the project without reaching the finals. But, despite this, she continued her solo career and was able to perform at many events and take part in some music programs.
Anya Moon at the Star Factory
In mid-2020, Ani’s friend told the girl about the casting for the vocal show “New Star Factory”. As luck would have it, Moon had just arrived from England and didn’t yet understand what she was going to do next. As a child, Anya was a fan of “Factory”, so there was no doubt about whether to attend the casting or not.
Anya recalls that she hardly prepared for the auditions - she was subconsciously confident that she would pass the selection. As a result, Moon became one of the participants in the project, which started on September 2, 2020 on the MUZ-TV channel.

At the first reporting concert, the girl had a number with her father. The Saltykovs performed the lyrical song “The Leaves Flew Away.” In the following weeks, Anya was lucky enough to perform with such famous performers as Ivanushki International, Emin, Denis Klyaver and Anna Sedokova. On October 14, Anya Moon, who was nominated for the second time, left the show: the audience saved Rada Boguslavskaya, and the participants saved Guzel Khasanova.
Why was Anna of Russia recorded as Ganna of Kyiv?
In Ukraine they deny all-Russian history, but they cannot present a map of the “ancient Ukrainian” state
One of the historical figures to whom the Kiev regime clings with all its might as proof of the “thousand-year history of Ukraine” is Anna Yaroslavna, daughter of Yaroslav the Wise, granddaughter of Vladimir the Baptist, great-granddaughter of Prince of Novgorod and Kiev Svyatoslav, son of Prince Igor Rurikovich and Princess Olga, a native of either the land of Pskov, or the Bulgarian, or from the Slavs, or from the Varangians.
Even a cursory glance at Anna’s ancestry does not allow us to talk about any “Ukrainian trace.” If only for the reason that the Rurik dynasty, to which Anna belonged, ruled the Old Russian state, expanding from Ladoga to Pereyaslavl, from Izborsk to Murom. Ukrainian leaders cannot come to terms with the indisputable reality: there were times when Novgorod, Kiev, Polotsk, Rostov, Chernigov existed within the borders of one state - Ancient Rus', respectively, and the history of this territory and its rulers, both outstanding and those who did not gain fame , - all-Russian. Moreover, it is so old that the origin of the first Rurikovichs is not known for certain: for example, the wife of Prince Rurik Efanda is credited with Norwegian origin, but for some reason in Norway they do not break copies, accusing someone of trying to appropriate Norwegian history - only Ukraine claims to have the ancient Russian past has become “ancient Ukrainian”!
Monument to Anna Yaroslavna in Senlis. Anna of Russia became Anna of Kyiv
That is why Anna Yaroslavna suddenly became Hanna of Kyiv - and in 1996, Ukrainian leaders were not too lazy to correct the original inscription on the monument to the Queen of France in Senlis, Anne de Russie Reine de France, to Anne de Kiev Reine de France! However, this was not enough for them, and in 2005, President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko with pomp opened another monument in the same Senlis. Anna had already been renamed Ganna by that time. They even neglected the fact that the princess herself signed as “Regina Anna,” unaware of her “Ukrainian” name.
And in 2013, the Uniates - the Ukrainian diocese of St. Vladimir in Paris, led by Bishop Boris (Gudziak), president of the Ukrainian Catholic University - bought a church in Senlis for 203 thousand euros with donations from Ukrainians from Ukraine, France, England, the USA and Canada. “With this ecclesiastical and legal act we have shown that the sources of the Ukrainian Christian European tradition are living and life-giving,” said the Uniate bishop. “It was Anna Yaroslavna who became the first representative of Ukraine recorded in European history,” he concluded.
And this Anna is already Hanna
Surely Princess Anna could not even imagine that a thousand years later she would suddenly become a “representative of Ukraine,” and even from the Uniates!
Lovers of the “Ukrainian” history of the Old Russian Empire have also reached Hungary. Another Yaroslavna, Anastasia, married the Hungarian King Andras I. In 2001, with the assistance of the Ukrainian Embassy in Hungary, a monument to the royal couple, Andras I and the “Ukrainian princess” Anastasia Yaroslavna, was unveiled here. Thank you for not Nastusa.
Monument to King Andras and his wife, “Ukrainian princess” Anastasia, in Hungary
It remains to master Norway: Yaroslav's daughter Elizabeth (Olisava) was given as a wife to the Norwegian king Harald III Sigurdarson. In his youth, Harald fled to Yaroslav in Novgorod, took part in a military campaign in 1031 “against the Poles”, then went to Byzantium and entered the service of the emperor, and sent all the trophies obtained in battles to Yaroslav for safekeeping. During difficult times for the family (Harald took a second wife) on the Norwegian island of Sela, Elizaveta-Olisava was engaged in rewriting Christian literature and educating children. Yaroslavna accompanied her husband on his last campaign - he was going to gain a foothold as the king of England for a long time and even became one for a short time, but then his army was defeated at Stamford Bridge in 1066, and Harald himself died. What a field for the creativity of Ukrainian figures who deny all-Russian history: monuments to Elizabeth Yaroslavna can be erected in the vastness of Norway and East Yorkshire, where the wife of King Harald saw him off on his last journey. True, there will be difficulties with changing the name - it’s easy to write Anna as Ganna, and Elizaveta-Olisava will probably have to be called Olesya.
A very strange monument to Anna Yaroslavna in Kyiv, which is often confused with a tombstone on the grave of a child - eight-year-old Anna stands barefoot on the gravestone. Headdress - horns-rays, like the goddess of darkness Hecate (apparently, the sculptor was inspired by the American Statue of Liberty)
Having focused on proving the non-existent Ukrainian origin of “Hanna of Kyiv,” officials, journalists and historians somehow lost sight of not only Yaroslav’s other daughters, but also his sister Maria Dobronega, the wife of the Polish prince Casimir the Restorer in 1039. And if we consider that both the sister and daughters of Yaroslav the Wise gave birth to children who became the rulers of France, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland, then the Ukrainian authorities and theorists of the “thousand-year history of Ukraine” should have abandoned the slogan “Ukraine is Europe!” move on to another statement: “Europe is Ukraine!”
Moreover, Yaroslav the Wise himself - the prince of Rostov, Novgorod and Kiev - was called “ancient Ukrainian” by the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. It remains to show the world maps of Ancient Ukraine (at least during the reign of Yaroslav the Wise) and explain why the set of laws of those times is called “Russian Truth”.
The Kiev regime’s denial of all-Russian history - truly thousands of years old - is a dead-end path for temporary workers, who count on the fact that replacing Anna of Russia with Hanna of Kiev, and the Old Russian state with the never-existent “Old Ukrainian”, will strengthen the loose foundation of the proclaimed “Ukrainian nation”, which is oriented towards hatred of the Russian world and confrontation with him.
However, the catch is that Ukraine does not and will not have any other ancient history other than the all-Russian one. Even if the Queen of France Anna of Russia is written down as Hanna of Kyiv.

Personal life of Anya Moon
In London, Anya had a young man named Josh. How their relationship developed after Anya returned to her homeland is unknown.
Anya Moon and Nikita Kuznetsov are not dating
At the project, many spectators and the manufacturers themselves noticed that there was some sympathy between Anya and participant Nikita Kuznetsov. At the same time, many thought that Moon was flirting with Nikita for the sake of ratings. However, Nikita and Anya denied that there was anything between them.
Anya has a tattoo in the shape of the letter “M”.
Russian Empress
In January 1730, Peter II died, who was going to marry Princess Dolgoruky, but did not have time. The princess's relatives forged the emperor's will, deciding to elevate her to the throne. But the Supreme Privy Council, which met after the death of Peter, did not believe such a will and approved Anna as Empress. At the same time, members of the Council wrote Conditions that significantly limited the possibilities of the future empress in her favor. Anna signed the documents, but by the time she arrived in Moscow, rumors had spread in society about the idea of the Supreme Council. Anna had enough supporters, including the imperial guard.
At the end of February, Prince Cherkassky submitted a petition to the Empress with the signatures of nobles asking to revise the Conditions. In addition, Prince Trubetskoy came with a petition for the restoration of autocracy, and the guard insured the palace and the empress from unrest. As a result, Anna was proclaimed autocratic empress. However, Anna Ioannovna's position remained uncertain. She still did not have a strong political support; various noble groups fought for influence on the empress for two years.
Anna Ioannovna breaks her condition (I. Charlemagne)
The empress herself made few political decisions. Anna's closest adviser was Vice-Chancellor Osterman. Later Biron, Levenwolde, and Minich were called to the imperial court. The Russian aristocracy was dissatisfied with the “German” influence and wanted to remove Osterman. After a two-year confrontation, the “German party” gained the upper hand, but internal disagreements prevented it from becoming a unified political force. Minich and Levenwolde were sent to Poland, and the Empress’s favorite Biron began to promote representatives of his own entourage to the court.
The program of Anna Ioannovna's reign included previously unrealized projects and solutions to pressing problems: reforming the army, restoring the power of the Senate, finalizing the Code, revising the staff of officials, and reforming the fleet. The Supreme Privy Council was dissolved. In 1730, the Office of Secret Investigative Affairs was created, with the goal of preventing conspiracies and coups. As a result of the active work of this body, more than 20 thousand people were sent into exile in Siberia, and about a thousand were executed. The nobles who posed a threat to power were also subjected to cruel executions: the princes Dolgoruky, the cabinet minister Volynsky.
Jesters at the Court of the Empress (W. Jacobi, 1872)
Perhaps, more than state affairs, Anna loved entertainment and beautiful outfits. She was constantly surrounded by jesters, and the expenses for balls, entertainment events and maintenance of the court were enormous. Anna's appearance was pleasant: dark-haired with blue eyes and a large figure. Behavior was appropriate to the position, and actions demonstrated dignity and solemnity. Contemporaries characterize her as generous, power-hungry and capricious. The Empress died in 1740 from gout, bequeathing the throne to the grandson of her sister Catherine, Ivan Antonovich, whose mother, Anna Leopoldovna, was treated as her own daughter. Biron was appointed regent.
Anya Moon now
After dropping out of the show, the girl continues to actively perform - the very next day after the release of the last broadcast of “Factory”, Moon performed at the “Party Zone MUZ-TV” party at the VEGAS shopping center.
Anya Moon dropped out of the “New Star Factory” project
A few days later, Anya appeared in the show “Very Karaochen”, the host of which, singer Stas Kostyushkin, transports famous artists in a musical car, and they sing and share details of their personal lives. Together with Moon, the singer Oceana made a musical trip.
Anna Potapova-Ainutdinova: “By my example, I want to convey to everyone: adopted children are wonderful”
The story of a family that adopted three sisters resonated with thousands of people: they adore little Polina’s home performances, follow Dasha’s theatrical successes and experience the difficulties of Lera’s adolescence. Mother of many children Anna Potapova-Ainutdinova (@annapotapova21) told BeautyHack whether it is possible to sincerely love “other people’s” children, at what point they became their own, and how her sons reacted to the appearance of three sisters.
It was the end of July. It was uncharacteristically hot outside for our latitudes. But no one at BeautyHack paid attention to her. Everyone was waiting for small but very important guests, for whom caring assistants had already prepared new beauty products for the test and candies (without them the interview might not have taken place). A minute, another minute... Button Poe is the first to enter the editorial office, busily carrying a suitcase with cosmetics. “Today I will be the editor-in-chief,” the ambitious little girl declares from the doorway. Nobody tries to argue with her. Dasha comes for Polina. “Can I be an editor too?” Of course you can, baby! Lera and her sisters are not there. Anna was afraid that there would be too many children (in vain - the editors could cope with a dozen: we know how, we can, we practice). While the girls are getting used to their new workplace, we talk with their mother. Honestly. Frankly. About everything. About how she decided to adopt. About why the feeling of love did not come immediately. About how for the first time she was afraid for her adopted daughter as much as for her own son. This story is about an amazing family and equally amazing children.
«As a child, I dreamed of a big family. But closer to the time of admission, priorities changed - I decided to build a career. And it worked out great for me! I worked from the age of 16, and after the birth of my first child, I returned to work within a month. My mother took care of my son. When he was seven months old, I realized with horror: he had forgotten me. And we started getting to know each other again. The first marriage did not work out - my husband and I divorced. A few years later she married a second time. A second child was born. I almost completely withdrew from work and plunged headlong into my family.
One day my husband and I were driving in a car and talking. Then difficult times came for us - life presented surprises from all sides. And we decided: we need to do something right now, somehow change our lives, without putting it off until tomorrow. Adoption was a mutual decision. We've thought about this before. But the husband was categorically against it. At that moment there was no need to even persuade him: he quickly agreed
».
Anna pauses for a moment. She stops to listen to what is happening behind the wall. And there history is made: the birth of new beauty bloggers – Polina and Dasha. Under the strict guidance of BeautyHack editor Dasha Sizova, the girls, without sparing their hands, test new lipsticks. They wash it and then test it again. After making sure everything is in order, Super Mom continues.
«Adoption is a complex and long process. You fill out an application, collect a bunch of papers, and at the same time attend a school for foster parents. We did it! Guardianship suggested that we take the baby boy. I came home. I thought about it, and then I realized that I couldn’t. That same evening, I saw a photo of the girls on the website. It was hung up by volunteers with the caption “It’s a pity that no one will take them.” According to the law, the eldest, Lera, could easily be separated from the younger ones. But the guardianship did not do this - there was a special connection between the girls. At that moment, something clicked inside me. I didn't sleep all night. I was thinking about how to tell my husband that I want to meet them. The next day I was already on the plane on the way to Perm. There the first meeting with the girls took place. Suddenly. Without much thought.
I will never understand how you can choose children, moving from boarding school to boarding school. The first kids I met became ours. Yes, we did not plan to take three. But they could not do otherwise.
You know, at the first meeting I was in a state of passion. This can be compared to childbirth. Not just one child, but triplets of different ages. Polina was two then. Dasha is four. They didn't understand what was happening. Well, aunt came, well, she’s talking. They didn’t remember my mother at all, and they didn’t associate me with this image. Lera was older. She understood everything. The psychologist warned me: the girl does not go to anyone. Lera told everyone that she was waiting for her mother, who would pick her up soon. When she saw me, for some reason she gave me her packaged juice, which they were given for an afternoon snack. It was a valuable and very expensive gift. I talked to the girls and went out to call my husband.
The situation was difficult. Three children: can we cope? And then I heard Lera’s voice: “I told you that my mother would come for me. She arrived! Mom will pick us up, and we will all go to Moscow.” All my doubts instantly disappeared. Yes, it will be difficult, but we will manage. Lera was waiting for her mother and waited.”
Pause. While Anya delicately looks into the editor-in-chief’s office, I try to pull myself together and stop crying. It’s good that the mascara was safely ignored that day. I knew that the conversation would not be easy. “You leave the office and just leave the camera - then it will show itself in all its glory,” advises Anna to our Dasha. She knows everything about her girls: what they are shy about, what they are afraid of, how best to photograph them and what can become a serious argument for action. “My gifts from heaven” is what she calls the babies on Instagram. There is no chance to argue with her. Very, very valuable and talented gifts.
«Our first day as a large family was hell. He went to court. Afterwards we were allowed to pick up the girls for a few hours. It took ten days to take them to their new home. The guardianship nevertheless met halfway and gave the little ones a “guest” regime. And then it’s like in a fairy tale. Just very scary. Imagine that you are a child who is put into a car by an unfamiliar uncle and aunt and fastened with seat belts. From Perm to Moscow the path is not short. Dasha was vomiting all the time. Polina was screaming, Lera sat with round eyes and was afraid to utter a word. On the way we stopped at a cafe. The children calmed down and ate and ate all the time...
We were in Moscow at six in the morning. My mother stayed with her sons and when she saw me, she immediately sent me to bed. When I woke up and went downstairs, the girls were sitting calm and a little inhibited. I was in shock. They were obedient, like soldiers, ready to jump up at any moment and carry out orders. If you say right, the children go right. If you say left, they turn in the right direction. You won’t believe it, the first days the girls didn’t get out of bed until I came into the room! They were afraid to wake up my husband and me - that was their custom. The first month was hard. I didn’t feel like a mother, a woman, or a person. It seems that during that time I aged at least two years
».
A small nose peeks out curiously from behind the door. A milky strand of hair suggests “the spy who has appeared is Polina.” “Mom, I’m going to the toilet!” Let's interrupt again. “Speak beautifully - you know how,” says Anna, getting up from the soft chair. “Take me to the toilet,” Polina repeats, clearly pronouncing each letter. Anna smiles. “For some reason he’s lazy and always tries to say what’s convenient, not what’s right.” “Thumbelina” takes mom’s hand, and while they are walking to point B, she tells what the editor-in-chief should do. They return in five minutes.
«In general, I am a strict mother. Especially with boys. When we left the orphanage, the director asked only one thing: not to spoil and not to regret. This phrase helped me a lot in the future. I realized this only three years after adoption. The first time was not easy.
Yes, I became a mother to girls, but I was not immediately able to treat them as my own. At some points they annoyed me, at others I was simply shaking with anger!
After that, I went to a psychologist and he explained: this is absolutely normal. Sometimes I couldn’t get over myself and punish the girls. Especially Polina. And then she developed her own system. If you mess up, sit on the steps and calm down. Then you come and we discuss the current situation. If you throw a tantrum, you go to your room and come out with a smile. These rules are not violated in our home. I hardly punish children now - they are very well-mannered and intelligent
».
“Mom, can I have some candy?” –
This is Dasha, who has a screen test planned after the interview. The future star with bright red lips and eyelashes painted by her younger sister looks at us slyly. Maybe even three!
«I remember very well the moment when I realized that I love adopted children,” continues Anna. “I had a vivid case with Polinka. She fell from her chair and lost consciousness. Just. With no reason. I once experienced the same thing with Mark - it’s scary. I flew up to her, trying to call an ambulance with shaking hands, begging her not to fall asleep, and crying. At that moment the realization came: this is my child. Not someone else's, not someone else's - mine.
Dasha's maternal feeling came later. She's calm with us. It seemed to me that my daughter quickly adapted, and she didn’t need me at all. In fact, she needed her mother more than anyone else. This became clear after Dasha began to withdraw into herself. She received the least attention. She ate well, smiled all the time and behaved impeccably - there was no reason to sound the alarm. And only over time I realized: it shouldn’t be like this. We went to a psychologist. I began to devote more time to her. Now Dasha is a lively and open girl, capable of fighting back and standing up for herself.
With Lera, real “family” happened a year ago. She is the oldest. We both needed time to adapt
».
In addition to the girls, Anna has two sons - Arseny and Mark. They are talented and kind. So much so that they were ready to share not only toys and living space, but also parental love. As they say, “an apple from an apple tree” or “an aspen tree does not produce oranges.”
«The boys, like us, were not expecting three. Arsyusha was still quite small at that time and did not really understand what was happening. We started preparing Mark in advance. After several conversations, my combative and active son said that it would be great to have a sister. When we took the girls, his creative life was in full swing (Mark is a participant in the show “The Voice. Children”) - he didn’t really feel the difference between “before” and “after”. While the paperwork process was going on, I visited the girls and took Arseny with me. He became very friendly with them. Especially with Lera. She is two years older than her brother - they were interested in hooliganism together. One day Arseny said to me: “Let’s just take Lera?” Of course, at first he was jealous, realizing that attention would have to be shared. Over time we got over it
».
Something incredible was happening in the next office: the children got used to the role and continued to do brilliant makeup at their temporary workplace. This is not your dad's office, where there are no red lipsticks and peach blushes that are dear to a girl's heart. There is plenty of room for the beauty hacker's childish soul to roam.
“ My husband and I have never hidden the fact that we adopted children.
On Instagram I started talking about our life so that people would stop being afraid of it. At home we also raise this topic. I present information to Dasha in the form of a fairy tale. I tell my daughter : the brothers appeared from the tummy, and she was taken from the house where she was waiting for her mother.
Polina is sure that she was born the same way as the boys (laughs). We have an agreement with Lera: if she wants to see her parents, she can do it when she turns 18. The first year she composed a lot. She made up stories about how she and her parents went on trips and played together. In reality this was not the case. The girls were from a dysfunctional family - they lived in terrible conditions. They were taken into custody. Lera remembers well how she was taken away from her biological mother. It was a serious psychological trauma, the consequences of which we are still experiencing.
When we decided to adopt, there was no phobia of bad genetics. My husband and I, just like millions of other people, can sit and drink wine. I believe that the social environment plays a much larger role in the formation of personality. We explain this to our children
».
Like every mother, Anna still has fears. And even she sometimes gave up. For the first two months, Lera hated herself and those around her: she threw hysterics and said that she did not want to live. “Why did you take me, it was better in the orphanage” is the most harmless phrase that came out of the “baby’s” mouth.
“ I told Lera every day that she needed to study, that she would definitely grow up smart and happy. To this the daughter answered: “Why do I need this mathematics? I’m going to go to a special school anyway!” In second grade, she didn't know how to add 2+2. Every week the teacher called me and said :
“Lera gets only bad marks and is happy about it.” I had to make a difficult decision. We transferred Lera to another school and lowered her grade. From there, the daughter began to bring in fours and fives. She began to think differently. My daughter has gained confidence : she is beautiful and smart
.”
Anna was also very worried about how the relationship between all the children would develop. In vain. They are real brothers and sisters who support each other like a mountain.
«At some point, my husband and I were frightened by the relationship between Arseny and Lera. They were inseparable and did everything together. Sometimes this couple did terrible things.
One day we went on a visit without the children. An hour later, Mark sent a video of Arseny and Lera fighting. We exhaled - real brother and sister. Children sometimes hate each other - and that's normal. “Buy yourself some brains,” that’s how they also communicate. But I know that Lera is under Mark’s protection at school. They are one family.
I am calm. It's so funny when her lerkin friends come to see her big brother. She tells them that she is a receptionist and is not shy about it

Judging by how often “beauty bloggers” and modern gloss stars began to be distracted from their duties and loom in my mother’s field of vision, I understand: it’s time to finish. And there is still so much I want to ask. For the first time in my journalistic practice, I experience a story so emotionally, as if together with the heroine I went through seven circles of hell before landing on the fertile soil of family happiness.
«My husband and I want to raise worthy people - no matter how banal it may sound. I understand that they develop much more outside of school, so we try to give them the opportunity to try themselves in different areas.
The eldest found himself in music. The rest have not yet fully decided. Arseny plays football - so far he likes it. My son has a mathematical mind. I want to find courses for him to develop these abilities.
Things are more complicated with Dasha and Lera. Lera is a kinesthetic person by nature. She loves everything related to cosmetics. I think my daughter will look for herself in the field of cosmetology. This year we decided to try to send her to courses at Moscow State University (biology department). Let's see what comes of this. Now Lera is engaged in dancing, acting and vocals. My husband insists on playing tennis - she is a sporty girl. I think she can do it.
A year ago, Dasha asked to take part in figure skating. They gave it away. She liked to ride, but it wasn't enough to be successful. In figure skating you need strong legs, butt, and abs. At home, when they forced her to do squats, she did it hysterically. I tried to explain to my daughter why this was necessary. In the end, every squat was still filled with tears. We left figure skating - we didn’t want to play the role of our home Hitler. Recently, Dasha was invited to act in a movie - she opened up in a different way. My daughter did a great job! She loves poetry and books - she is a creative person

Polina deserves a special ovation. She has been doing gymnastics since she was three years old. Videos where a girl parodies a coach receive tens of thousands of likes. “My fathers, how many times can I tell you: don’t do this!” – one can only guess where this comes from in a child’s head.
«Polinka has been practicing for quite a long time. Our coach does not stand on ceremony with children. Polina comes after a two-hour lesson and starts showing it all at home. At first we just laughed heartily. And then I started posting home “productions” online. After the sixth video, the coach wrote to me in a personal message that she recognized herself (laughs). But Polinka adores her and runs to class with great pleasure.”
I couldn't help but ask Anna about timing. One day my brother left me for two hours with three children. I’ll be honest: within thirty minutes I wanted to call the first Mary Poppins I came across.
“Sometimes I myself am surprised how I manage to waltz between clubs and schools. The main rule here is planning. When the younger ones are in the garden and the older ones are at school, I can devote half a day to myself. Then everything is according to schedule. The eldest son is already an adult - this makes the task much easier. He always helps me whenever possible. We don’t have nannies, drivers or housekeepers – I do everything myself.
There was a moment when I lost myself as a woman. But I quickly realized: if this continues, I will lose my husband too. A woman is not only a mother. She is also a wife.
When it is not possible to leave the children with someone, I take them with me to the salon - they always find something to do. By the way, I’m trying to teach girls about a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition right now. They know that buns for dinner are unhealthy, and they prefer water instead of soda. I want to be an example for them! And this is impossible if you stop taking care of yourself.
».
Dasha and Polina quietly leave the office. The girls are tired - the job of the editor-in-chief is hard, no matter how you look at it. They have already put their new cosmetics in their suitcase and are ready to move on.
“ By my example, I want to convey to everyone: adopted children are wonderful. The moment will definitely come when they will become family. The most important thing is to show children by example how to live. We are all imperfect. And I have breakdowns bordering on hysteria. I'm human, I get tired. My children grow up in love. Every day I tell them how much they mean to me. And not because I have to. But because it's really true. I am grateful to my husband for everything. He is the mediator in our family. And if I raised my voice, my husband says: “Anh, slow down.” Previously, we had a magic word - “box”. As soon as someone said it, it was a signal :
it was time to stop.
But then Mark figured us out. Children are not to blame for our bad mood! Now I understand this clearly. Psychologists say: you cannot fall in love with a child, but you need to set boundaries. This is what we do

All the candies have been eaten.
The coffee has been drunk. Time to say good-bye. We take turns hugging the girls. Goodbye princesses. With such a mother you will definitely grow up the happiest. Come again! And say hi to dad. These are the people who make this world a better place. Interview and text: Natalia Kapitsa
Personal life
While Anna was living in England, she had some relationship with a young man named Josh. True, after she returned to her homeland, the connection with this person was eventually interrupted. On the “Star Factory” project, many suspected that she had a romantic relationship with show participant Nikita Kuznetsov, with whom, according to Anna herself, she maintained absolutely friendly relations, which did not at all correspond to the opinion of television viewers.

On October 13, 2002, millions of television viewers began to closely monitor the fate of the participants in the “Star Factory” television project. The show turned out to be so exciting that on September 2, 2020, the “New Star Factory” started on the Muz TV channel. Among the 16 girls and young people who decided to try their hand at show business, there are also little rising stars. Among them is Anya Moon.
Anna Ioannovna
LIFE STORY
Anna Ioannovna (January 28 (February 7), 1693 – October 17 (28), 1740), second daughter of Tsar John V (brother and co-ruler of Tsar Peter I) and Tsarina Praskovya Feodorovna, was born in Moscow, in the Kremlin. She spent her childhood in Izmailovo. In 1708 she moved to St. Petersburg for a short time. In 1710 she was married to the Duke of Courland; widowed shortly after the wedding. In October 1709, Peter I, at a meeting with King Frederick William I, agreed on the marriage of the young Duke with one of the representatives of the Russian royal family. The choice fell on the middle daughter of Queen Praskovya, Anna Ioannovna. From the summer of 1712, as Duchess of Courland, she lived in Courland. In 1726, she recklessly gave consent to the marriage of the illegitimate son of the Polish king and Saxon elector Augustus the Strong, Count Moritz of Saxony, who was not included in the political plans of the Russian Empire and was upset by the personal intervention of A.D. Menshikov (the so-called Courland crisis). In 1718, the 28-year-old Courland nobleman Ernst Johann Biron, who became her favorite from 1727, entered the service of the Duchess's office.
After the death of Peter II in 1730, there were no direct descendants of the Romanov family in the male line. Among other candidates, the Supreme Privy Council turned to the senior line of Tsar John V Alekseevich and invited his daughter Anna Ioannovna, who had already lived in Courland for 19 years and had no favorites or adherents in Russia, to the throne. Her reign was supposed to be limited in powers in favor of the “supreme leaders”, members of the Supreme Privy Council, who demanded that Anna Ioannovna sign certain conditions, “Conditions”. With the support of opponents of the “supreme leaders”, she gained full power and dissolved the Supreme Privy Council. After the name of her favorite, the time of her reign was called “Bironovism.”
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE SENATE UNDER ANNA IOANNOVNA
But instead of the Senate, as we already know, they installed the Supreme Privy Council (1726–1730): this reduced the Senate to the level of a collegium, and the position of prosecutor general, “the sovereign’s eye,” was deprived of the significance that Peter gave it. This position has completely disappeared, as if it had no meaning. The Prosecutor General, restored under Anna Ioannovna, did not receive its former importance, because the Senate did not receive it either. Anna in 1730 destroyed the Supreme Privy Council, restored the rights of the Senate, dividing the Senate into 5 departments; but soon a Cabinet, similar in importance to the Supreme Privy Council, was placed above the Senate, and this again reduced the importance of the Senate and the Prosecutor General.
[…] But under Peter, the senior administrative officials close to him were not organized into an institution and did not have the influence that they received under the weak representatives of power after Peter (women and children). When they had this influence, they sought to close in an institution that was not subject to general government control (the Senate and the prosecutor's office), on the contrary, they themselves took control into their own hands and ruled the country with the power of their “persons,” standing above the entire system of administration. In 1730, they even attempted to rule not only the country, but also the government itself. The attempt failed and led to a modification of the institution that carried it out; but even under autocracy, the persons of the Supreme Privy Council and the Cabinet, having overthrown the administrative system of Peter, directed against the arbitrariness of individuals, developed this arbitrariness.

THE CONDITIONS CONDITION
When those present agreed on the candidacy of Anna Ivanovna, D.M. Golitsyn quietly began the most secret part of his maneuver. His speech ended with a seemingly vague exclamation: “It’s your will, whoever you please, we just need to make it easier for ourselves.” - “How to make yourself feel better?” - someone asked here. “So take it easy so that you can add more willpower to yourself,” was Golitsyn’s answer. Apparently, representatives of the feudal aristocracy eventually realized what was going on. After some debate, work began on drawing up “conditions” or “clauses” limiting the power of the new empress. Although some sources attributed the creation of “conditions” to D.M. Golitsyn, apparently, this “child” was the fruit of joint efforts.

“CONDITIONS” SIGNED BY ANNA IOANOVNA IN 1730
Since then, by the will of Almighty God and by the general desire of the Russian people, upon the repose of the Most Serene Great Sovereign Peter the Second, Emperor and Autocrat of All-Russia, our dear Sovereign nephew, we have assumed the Imperial All-Russian throne and, following the divine law, we intend and wish to conduct our government in this way, so that in the beginning it could serve for the glorification of the divine name and the well-being of our entire state and all our faithful subjects. For this reason, through this we most firmly promise that my most important care and effort will be not only about the content, but also the extreme and every possible dissemination of our Orthodox faith of the Greek confession, and also, upon accepting the Russian crown, not to enter into marriage for the rest of my life and the heir , neither with yourself nor by yourself, do not define anyone. We also promise that the integrity and well-being of every state depends on good advice; For this reason, we always maintain the now established Supreme Privy Council of eight persons, even without the consent of the Supreme Privy Council:
1) Do not start a war with anyone.
2) Do not make peace.
3) Do not burden our faithful subjects with any new taxes.
4) No one should be promoted to noble ranks, both state and military, land and sea, above the rank of colonel, no one should be appointed lower to noble ranks, and the guards and other regiments should be under the authority of the Supreme Privy Council
5) The nobility’s life and property and honor cannot be taken away without trial.
6) Do not favor estates and villages.
7) Do not promote both Russians and foreigners to court ranks without the advice of the Supreme Privy Council.
Do not waste state revenues - and maintain all your faithful subjects in your unconditional mercy. A. If I fail to fulfill or keep anything on this promise, I will be deprived of the Russian crown.

CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES OF THE REIGN OF ANNA IOANNOVNA
In deep secrecy, D. M. Golitsyn and V. L. Dolgoruky drew up conditions, that is, the conditions for Anna Ioannovna’s accession to the throne. Anna Ioannovna was supposed to rule the state not as an autocratic empress, but together with the Supreme Privy Council, without whose knowledge she was forbidden to declare war and make peace, introduce new taxes, reward a rank higher than colonel, grant or take away estates without trial. Command of the guard passed to the Supreme Privy Council. Thus, the conditions limited the autocracy, but not in the interests of the entire nobility, but in favor of its aristocratic elite, who sat in the Supreme Privy Council.
The rumor about the “venture” to limit “autocracy” penetrated the nobility and guards and caused a clearly hostile reaction there. In contrast to the demands of the leaders, various groups of the nobility drew up their own projects outlining their views on the political structure of the country. If the standards of the supreme leaders had in mind the interests of a small group of aristocrats, then the authors of the noble projects demanded a reduction in service life, the abolition of restrictions on the inheritance of real estate, easing the conditions of service in the army and navy by organizing special educational institutions for training officers, and wider involvement of nobles in management etc.
Anna Ioannovna, who meekly signed the conditions in Mitau, after arriving in Moscow, quickly discovered that the “venture” of the supreme leaders did not enjoy the support of either the mass of nobles or the guards. In their presence and with their support, she tore up a sheet of paper with the conditions signed by her. With this, she proclaimed herself an autocratic empress. The Supreme Privy Council was abolished, and its members (Golitsyn and Dolgoruky) were expelled from the capital under various pretexts, only to be executed several years later.
Lazy and ignorant, distinguished by her tall stature and extreme plumpness, the empress, who was delighted by the rude jokes of the dwarves, did not show any interest in state affairs. Instead of the abolished Supreme Privy Council, an institution of approximately the same competence was organized under her, but under a new name - the Cabinet of Ministers. The composition of the Cabinet of Ministers, which included the Empress’s confidants, was also new.
Anna Ioannovna was burdened by participation in state affairs and in 1735 she issued a decree by which the signature of three cabinet ministers was declared equivalent to the imperial signature.
During the reign of Anna Ioannovna, the influence of foreigners reached unprecedented proportions. Their influx into Russia began at the end of the 17th century, but until the accession of Anna Ioannovna they did not play a significant role in the political life of the country. Their position under Anna Ioannovna became different. The tone at court was set by the ignorant favorite of the empress, the Courland German […] Biron, who did not hold official positions, but enjoyed the boundless trust of Anna Ioannovna. Under his patronage, rogue foreigners occupied top and well-paid positions in the administrative apparatus and the army. Many of them robbed the treasury with impunity.
During the years of Bironovism, or rather Ostermanism, since Osterman ruled the country, foreigners enjoyed advantages when appointed to lucrative positions and promoted. This caused protest from the Russian nobility, deprived of part of their income and infringed on national feelings.
Its spokesman was cabinet minister A.P. Volynsky, who, together with a circle of like-minded people, developed the “Project on the improvement of internal state affairs.” Volynsky demanded a further expansion of the privileges of the nobility, filling all positions in the state apparatus - from clerk to senator - with nobles, sending noble children abroad for education, “so that over time there will be natural ministers.” Spiritual shepherds from rural priests to the highest positions in the church hierarchy should also be replaced by people from the nobility. Harsh comments about Anna Ioannovna (“Our Empress is a fool, and no matter how you report, you won’t get any resolution from her”), condemnation of the actions of Biron and his entourage brought Volynsky and his accomplices to the chopping block in 1740.

ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE EXILES AND DISFAMATED
In the “vain and dangerous times” of the German government of Anna Ioannovna, it was impossible to go to bed in the evening in full confidence that you would wake up at home the next morning: they were often arrested at night - and the prisoner met the next day in one of the casemates of the Peter and Paul Fortress or some kind of prison. Book Sergei experienced the vicissitudes of fate, completely unexpectedly finding himself in Fominki, and then in the Ranenburg fortress. From Ranenburg roads led to “more remote places” - one could get to Berezov, Pelym, Yeniseisk, Okhotsk... […]
October 23, 1730 [book. Sergei Dolgoruky] addresses Empress Anna Ioannovna with the following request:
“The most powerful queen and autocrat of all Russia, the most merciful empress!” I dare to pray to your imperial majesty, as we all bow down and pray to the Almighty Creator to extend the right hand of mercy from the heavenly dwelling. Thus now, the most submissive servant of your Majesty, most merciful empress, slavishly falling at my feet, I pray: extend the right hand of mercy from the Highest Power of your throne, have mercy, have mercy on your lost and suffering servant. Your Imperial Majesty's most submissive and most humble slave, Prince. Sergei Dolgoruky."
His voice was not heard.
In April 1731, Prince. Sergei took advantage of the upcoming celebration of the anniversary of the coronation of Empress Anna Ioannovna to again recall his sad situation and ask for an improvement in his lot. On April 21 of this year he wrote to the Empress:
Your Imperial Majesty, merciful empress, bowing her knees to all, I most submissively pray, show divine mercy to your poor and last servant: have mercy, most merciful empress, for the great days of the Creator bestowed upon all the people by the solemn highest coronation of your imperial majesty, so that I, too, the poor and last Your Majesty's servant had little participation in such great joy and with inexpressible gratitude throughout my poor belly in the village granted to me for the highest of your Imperial Majesty to all the merciful empress, he vigilantly asked for the health of the Almighty Creator. Your Imperial Majesty, Most Gracious Empress, the last and most submissive servant of the Prince. Sergei Dolgoruky."
His fate was not softened after all.

PERSONALITY AND LEISURE
Anna was a person of a turning point, when the old in culture was replaced by the new, but coexisted with it for a long time. Therefore, along with the traditional jesters and hangers-on at Anna’s court, Italian operas and comedies were staged in a specially built theater with a thousand seats. During dinners and holidays, opera singers and ballerinas delighted the hearing and sight of the courtiers. Anna's time entered the history of Russian art with the founding of the first ballet school in 1737. A choir was formed at the court, and the composer Francesco Araya, invited from Italy, worked. But most of all, Anna, unlike the Moscow princesses, was fond of hunting, or rather shooting. It was not just a hobby, but a deep passion that gave the queen no rest. She often shot at crows and ducks flying in the sky, and hit targets in the indoor arena and in the parks of Peterhof. She also took part in grandiose hunts, when the beaters, having covered a gigantic expanse of the forest, gradually (often over weeks) narrowed it and drove the forest inhabitants into the clearing. In the middle of it stood a special tall carriage - a Jagt-Wagen - with the armed empress and her guests. And when the animals, mad with horror: hares, foxes, deer, wolves, bears, moose, ran out into the clearing, prudently fenced with a wall made of ship's canvas, then a disgusting massacre began. In the summer of 1738 alone, Anna personally shot 1,024 animals, including 374 hares and 608 ducks. It’s hard to even imagine how many animals the queen killed in 10 years!
