Sasha Zvereva: “Pregnancy is a confirmation of a woman’s exceptional health. Both ours and yours: Orbakaite, Sedokova and other stars living between America and Russia Your favorite activity in America
Former lead singer of the Demo group and designer Sasha Zvereva recently became a mother of many children. On July 17, her third child, son Lev, was born. Like her older children - 11-year-old Vasilisa and 7-year-old Makar - the artist gave birth at home. For many months Sasha prepared herself for important mission and devoted her numerous posts on the microblog to this issue. In addition, this time Zvereva decided to prepare for childbirth under the guns of television cameras and took part in the new reality show of the Domashny TV channel, “Pregnant” (premiere on Domashny - from August 24, at 17:00). In an interview, the singer talked about why expectant mothers should watch the show, how to be treated without drugs and strengthen your body, as well as about the main helpers in her life.
Sasha, why did you decide to tell and show how your preparations for childbirth are going on a TV program across the country?
In my opinion, show ordinary girls, to pregnant mothers throughout Russia, that public people The people they know from TV are just like everyone else, with their fears, worries, pregnancy hormones, and they give birth the same way.
Surely you had to face some difficulties during filming?
Yes. Firstly, because the filming took place not in Russia, but in a foreign America. Despite the fact that I love this country very much, I cannot help but admit that getting along with local laws is not easy. Sometimes it was terribly inconvenient for me to ask doctors or expectant mothers who attend the same courses as me to be filmed for Russian television. We had to negotiate separately with each person who came into the frame. And pregnant women are so unpredictable - they can say: “I don’t wear makeup, I’m ugly and I won’t take pictures.” Also in the USA it is prohibited to film on the street without special permission, so I was worried while filming on the streets and beaches, where there are always police officers. Secondly, during filming I lost my personal time and space. It seems that I did everything the same as in ordinary life, just under the guns of the cameras, but still I had to adjust my day to the shooting and deny myself some small weaknesses that I didn’t want to show to everyone. I had to live without them for some time, I really missed it and immediately after the project I did everything that I had deprived myself of during the project, for example, I ate too much chocolate.
In your microblog you pay a lot of attention to the issue of pregnancy. Do you think you helped your fans?
Certainly. I already have experience not only in childbirth, but also in teaching in the field of obstetrics. I know and can tell you how to properly care for a child in the first year of life and how to raise him healthy. I studied these issues very carefully, and besides, I already have two children. Women will definitely learn a lot for themselves useful information. When I arrange video conferences on the Internet or write posts, I see a positive response - grateful reviews from women who learn a lot about motherhood. This makes me very happy.
Can you name the three most popular misconceptions about pregnancy and childbirth?
Number one: pregnancy and childbirth are a disease, which means a doctor must intervene with medications, injections and monitor everything daily. In my opinion, this is the funniest and most ridiculous myth. I believe that pregnancy is, on the contrary, a confirmation exceptional health women, and she just needs to be allowed to follow her nature. Number two: pregnant women need to be wary of everything - don’t fly anywhere, completely change your lifestyle, don’t walk in heels, don’t take a bath, don’t ride a bike, and don’t play sports in any way. That is, it is best to lie down and not move. In fact, pregnancy is a wonderful time when you can not only not limit yourself to what brings pleasure in everyday life, but also discover new talents in yourself, fall in love with new sports such as yoga, swimming, find a hobby: start embroider or create crafts from clay. And why not travel? Let mothers fly to the ocean and the sun to be healthy. Number three: pregnancy and childbirth are not men's business, men should stay away and wait for the woman at home. It seems to me that this is wrong, and since we made the baby together, we should meet him together.
Why did you decide to give birth in the States this time?
I gave birth to my daughter Vasilisa and son Makar in Moscow, but the third baby fell into my tummy in California, and when the question arose of where to give him birth, I decided to stay.
Russian doctors advocate hospital births, but what is the attitude of the professional community in the United States towards home births?
Unfortunately, home births are unpopular and condemned by doctors in all countries except Holland, where more than 50% of births take place at home. And in the United States, mothers who decide to give birth at home also face difficulties in paperwork: after the baby is born, they have to stand in a very long line just to register his birth. Birth certificates are immediately given here only in maternity hospitals. Yet, despite this, home births in America are legalized, here midwives have special education and a license that officially allows them to deliver babies at home.
Many people consider home birth to be a very risky endeavor. Nevertheless, there are enough people who decide to take this step. Share your experience with our readers. What do they need to consider?
I believe that home birth requires the most enormous preparation. Nature, of course, is very wise, but the body still needs to be trained both on the physical and psychological levels. It is important to be aware of all aspects: how the child lies, how he will walk, what will happen during childbirth... Train the body physically: walk a lot, breathe air, eat right, manage your pregnancy correctly, do not use medications, do not abuse any treatments and taking synthetic vitamins, master relaxation techniques in water, breathing through meditation, and be able to manage your mood. Only then, it seems to me, can we hope that the outcome of a home birth will be extremely successful.
What do you think about literature for pregnant women?
It seems to me that a person should always grow. Our brain, unfortunately, during life is filled with only a few percent of the volume it can absorb. Therefore, you need to feed him with knowledge to the maximum. And even in my case, when it seems that I already know almost everything, I continue to read. Moreover, being in America, I need to know all the same things, but now on English language. I also read books by local midwives and their observations. It’s always very interesting to learn something new, so you shouldn’t limit yourself.
Tell me, how was your last pregnancy different from the previous two?
She was different in that I was much calmer. I didn’t have a panicky fear that something was going wrong, that I could harm my child, that I needed to constantly listen to his heartbeat. I thought that this pregnancy would be more difficult because we don’t get younger as we age, but in my case it turned out differently. My transition to healthy image life, to a new diet, easier and much more correct during the first pregnancy, giving up meat during the second pregnancy and active image life since the second pregnancy - all this made my body more resilient, stronger, it was cleansed, and I entered the third pregnancy well prepared physically. I like my condition, and I don’t experience problems, or at least I take them easier.
You decided to name your newborn son Leo. Why did you choose this name?
I call my children Old Russian names, and I don’t want to stop this tradition. It would be funny to interrupt this chain (Vasilisa, Makar - StarHit's note) with some James or Paul. Therefore, I chose, on the one hand, an international name, and on the other, a truly Russian, original, ancient one.
How do your older children, daughter Vasilisa and son Makar, feel about the addition to the family?
Very good. Like any children, on the one hand, they are very happy about the arrival of their brother, and on the other, they are a little excited about the appearance of a competitor for their mother’s attention. For them, mother is main man in life, and if they see that their mother is happy and took good care of her tummy, then Makar and Vasilisa treat it the same way and are just as anxiously waiting for a new family member. They help me in every possible way, take on some responsibilities around the house: take out the trash, make the bed, wash the dishes. They are great guys, and I am very grateful to them.
“I don’t really get anything done.
Everything is going topsy-turvy for me, like a squirrel in a wheel. But there are priorities - and this is the main thing
Sometimes strength is running out, but there are initially important things - say, proper nutrition children - for which I never regret time. So, I will definitely go to a farmer’s fair or to some distant store where only farm products are sold, in order to prepare natural food, proper soups, and not just cook pasta or dumplings. Children are one hundred percent my first priority."
About space “for yourself” and nannies
“Without a nanny, of course, I have no life: I often leave for work at a manufactory, to search for fabrics, and to various meetings. Besides, I need space for myself - just so I don't go crazy!
But for me, a nanny is not a performer of all duties, but, roughly speaking, right hand. The main nanny is me, and just a nanny - she is in the wings.
So I feel that the floor is dirty, and the child is crawling on it, and I ask the nanny: “What do you choose: take a walk with the child or vacuum it?” And we decide together which of us does what
I have always had a permanent nanny, but since I now live in America, she must be regularly sent back to Russia due to the visa regime. So for now I’m coping on my own and looking for alternative options.”
About Moscow and diseases
“Why did I decide to move to Los Angeles? I'm tired of children in Moscow constantly getting sick. Not just mine, but everyone in general.
We have such terrible flus and acute respiratory infections that children get sick with a temperature of 40 for two weeks. And they walk around with a cough and snot for months. And as soon as everything passes, the child goes to kindergarten, to school - and everything starts anew. This is familiar to any Moscow mother.”
About Los Angeles and eternal summer
“In Moscow, everyone stays at home all the time, because when local weather very difficult to walk. Many will say: “Oh, the snow is nice too.” Yes, it would be nice if there was snow, but in most cases there is not snow on the street, but dirty slurry.
When I arrived in Los Angeles, I saw a land where eternal summer reigns. And not hot, not tropical, but soft. Plus the proximity of the ocean... All living things came from the ocean!
I am generally an ocean dependent person. When I’m empty of energy, I go to him, sit for a couple of minutes and then feel as if I’ve flown to a resort.”
About the responsiveness of Americans
Americans are very sympathetic people, they will always offer their help and support and will talk to you and listen
“Many Russians believe that this is all for show; in reality, they say, they don’t care. Yes, some people ask you “How are you?” (“How are you?”) just like that, out of politeness, but many people do this because they are really interested, they want to know more about each other. People are always chatting, even when they just walk into an elevator together.
If my neighbor and I meet and are riding in the elevator, I already know not only who he is and where he works, but also what kind of holiday he had recently, what kind of barbecue and in honor of what he was organizing...”
About my husband
“When last year, after the birth of my child, I was asked the question: “Sasha, who helps you?” (at that time there were rumors on the Internet that Sasha Zvereva’s husband, DJ Dmitry Almazov, did not take part in raising his son. - Ed.), I said that “I do everything myself.” I don’t have such a trait - to blame another person for something, to blame everything on him. No one has the right to force anyone else to do anything!
Today I say the same thing: I do everything myself, no one helps me. If only the parents are moral. I really want help, of course, but God is still giving such tests - which means I will accept them and move on with my life, wait for something to change.
I always treat people kindly, despite disagreements, misunderstandings, different views on life (Dmitry opposed the move of Sasha and her children to Los Angeles. - Ed.).
I like America, Dmitry likes Russia: I have no right to hate him for that
Of course, he constantly comes to us (every 1-2 months), always buys gifts for his son - this is his support.”
“Usually, when I have some troubles in my personal life, people immediately start coming to me with advice. Someone advises one thing, someone another, but I always say: I will listen to the one who has the greatest success in this regard in life.
Now I would rather listen to a woman who has been married for many years and managed to maintain her family and relationship with her husband than some lonely friend who will most likely say: “Come on, leave him, why do you need him? He doesn't appreciate you"
About "Demo"
“The first thing that has changed in me since “Demo” is my hairstyle. Before mine business card were short hair and black bangs to one side, and now I'm walking around with long hair. True, they are extensions, but still: I really like the look with long hair...
Secondly, I have become a more tolerant person.
Previously, if something was not to my liking, I would immediately rear up, resolve issues emotionally, and snort. Now I’ve learned to manage my emotions and don’t let them ruin my relationships with people.
Third, at some point I stopped believing that the only thing I could do in life was music. I realized that I can be popular not only thanks to the song “The Sun in My Hands”... It’s wonderful that those songs remain in people’s memories, it’s wonderful that people still sing them (and I sing them myself when I come somewhere to perform them ), but I realized that you can succeed in another area if you are a creative person and approach everything creatively, with love and complete dedication.”
The whole country knew the songs of the Demo group by heart, which was the great merit of the team’s lead singer, singer Sasha Zvereva. For more than 10 years she delighted fans with her creativity, then abruptly went into the shadows, and then came out - but in a quality that no one expected from her. Today, the 90s star actively claims to be an expert in matters of pregnancy and childbirth. There are reasons for this: Zvereva has 3 children and interesting maternal experience. Now she is actively “touring” the cities of Russia with training seminars, gathering, if not stadiums, like in the old days good times with “Demo”, then full houses..
Sasha Zvereva was secretly nicknamed “the guru of motherhood”, since this bright brown-haired woman is already a mother three times at the age of 35. She is raising a 12-year-old daughter, Vasilisa, an 8-year-old son, Makar, and an 11-month-old son, Lev. At the same time, Zvereva has her own special view on the process of pregnancy, childbirth and recovery after it.
Almost 350 thousand followers on Instagram (@sashazvereva, - website note) they listen carefully to all the advice of the ex-soloist of the Demo group and willingly enter into dialogue with her. However, virtual information exchange Russian mothers it was not enough, and Sasha specially flew to Russia from America, where she now lives with her children, having previously organized seminars in major cities of our country.
Soon Zvereva will have a long flight back to Los Angeles, from where she has no intention of returning. Before moving on to the burning topic of childbirth, we asked why the States captured the star’s heart so much.
website: Sasha, you have now flown to work in Russia, but at the same time you live in America. Why?
In 2012 I went with Dima (Dmitry Almazov, husband of Sasha Zvereva, DJ - website note) on tour to Los Angeles, and I absolutely loved this city. Later, the kids and I spent time there summer holidays. We felt so good that upon returning to Russia we simply packed our bags and flew back to the USA. They rented a house and enrolled Vasilisa and Makar in an American school. Everything went smoothly.
“My children and I enjoy the wonderful climate and proximity to the ocean. I love large bodies of water because I get energy from water and feel truly happy. Dima, however, still lives in Russia, but often visits us. The whole family has Green Cards, so my husband calmly comes to visit us as if it were his own home.”
website: How do you cope with three children alone?
S.Z.: I will not hide that three children is difficult, because they need to be given a lot of time and attention. Sometimes I hear some mothers talking: “Oh, two, three, six are the same thing!” But no, that's not true at all.
“If you really take care of your child, his education, psychological and moral education, then you will never have such an opinion. Being a mom is hard work."
In this regard, it’s even more difficult for me, because I’m not just a mother. You have to work hard to feed your family in the US, and it's not cheap. It happens that when I go to bed it’s like I’m fainting. Proper nutrition and vitamins help me cope with everything. Well, the ocean. I think if I had led an unhealthy lifestyle, I wouldn’t have enough strength to support my family. Of course, I am not a perfect mother, but, like many other women, I try to be the best for my children.
S.Z.: I would say that I am a “moderate” mom. When necessary, I can be strict, but most often I caress, hug, and kiss my children. I never scold, insult, or point out their imperfections. I don’t order: “Go pick up the scattered toys.”
“I express my dissatisfaction through an “I-message,” that is, I explain to the child how his action affected my feelings. For example: “You know, I’m very sad that your room has become so dirty. You and I were cleaning recently, and now we’ll have to do it again.”
website: What other principles do you adhere to in raising children?
S.Z.: This is a very broad topic of conversation. The process of education occurs from birth to 18 years of age, or even later. My most main principle- is to love and accept your children limitlessly for who they are. Many parents make a big mistake - they try to “fit” their child to the ideal that is in their dreams. With the idea that they themselves lacked something in childhood, they give their child everything at once - they take their child to the violin, prepare him for admission to law school, or send him to ballroom dancing, while the poor child has no ability for this.
“So don’t rape your child! If he is hyperactive, there is no need to constantly calm him down and sit him in a chair. Run after him with a spoon and feed him as you go. And if, on the contrary, he is calm and musical, do not try to raise him to be a financier, but let him create freely.”
website: Did you always know that you would have a big family?
S.Z.: Mother of many children I didn't want to become. I only thought about this when I gave birth to Vasilisa 12 years ago. The first birth was so natural and beautiful (simply space!) that I realized that I didn’t want to stop there, despite the fact that for many women the birth of a child is associated with a nightmare.
This process gave me more positive emotions, rather than negative. After the birth of my second child, Makar, I realized that this was not the limit, and I would like to experience these emotions again. When Levushka was born, I felt sad at the mere thought that I would no longer be pregnant.
“So, naturally, I want more kids.”
Let's see if my desires change after the fourth birth. I don’t think about the future and live for today.
website: You actively promote natural childbirth. Why is this so important to you?
S.Z.: Just a quick note: many people get confused and believe that natural childbirth means childbirth at home. No, no, and a thousand times no! All I want to convey to expectant mothers is that they have the right to control the birth process of their baby without medical intervention.
You can and should listen to your body and not succumb to the manipulations of obstetricians when it is convenient and profitable for them to “serve” you as quickly as possible. You should not agree to stimulation, anesthesia and much more that is often imposed on mothers.
“This is your birth and you should experience it as naturally as possible. In this case, you will get healthy children and a strong bond with your baby.”
website: Sasha, you are one of the few star moms, who not only does not hide their children from infancy, but even shares videos of childbirth. Are you such an open person?
S.Z.: In fact, a huge number of stars, especially foreign ones, do not hide their children from the public. As a rule, those who have any superstitions in this regard hide it. I don’t have them, I believe in God, I trust him and I know that he will protect me and my family. But I don’t understand these signs: it means you can show your heel, but you can’t show your face!
I also don’t see anything wrong with sharing the birth video of my babies with people. I wanted to show by my example that childbirth is by no means the same “nightmare” accompanied by the heart-rending cries of the woman in labor, but a natural, beautiful process that a mother lives with her baby. And I’m glad that I succeeded: a huge number of women changed their minds. Many mothers, after reading my videos, decided that they should live the birth process again, but only differently, with different emotions.
S.Z.: It all started with my participation in the show “Pregnant”, where I talked in detail about my pregnancy and childbirth. When the program ended, I began to receive a huge number of letters, messages, and comments on Instagram. Women who dared to become mothers again shared with me the emotions they experienced during childbirth following my recommendations. Many people wrote that they would like to get to know my philosophy better.
We are talking about thousands of requests that I could not leave unanswered. If there is demand, there will be supply.
“And I wrote on my Instagram: “Girls, how would you like me to fly to Russia and tour some major cities with your seminars? In the comments, hundreds of subscribers shouted that they would be glad to come to our “mom’s” meetings.”
This is how I started my activity. During our lectures, we touch on not only the topic of pregnancy and childbirth, but also the recovery period after the baby is born.
website: Why do you think it is so important for women to regain a slim figure after childbirth in record time?
S.Z.: Honestly, I tell all the girls: “After giving birth you will still have a belly, don’t be alarmed - it’s normal.” And I always cite the example of Kate Middleton, who left the maternity hospital as if she was six months pregnant. It `s naturally: abdominal muscles stretched and cannot contract as quickly. During the lectures, we learn how to properly tie up the stomach with a scarf or ribbon, so as not to wear a special postoperative bandage into which all the organs are literally “stuffed.” There is no need to rush into losing weight - it is better to restore your health first.
“In general, after giving birth, a woman needs to lie in bed for at least a week, and not jump around the apartment or run straight to the gym. In the first 40 days, you should try to avoid heavy loads and only start training after rest. But even here it is important not to overdo it, so as not to faint, not to exhaust yourself to such an extent that milk production decreases. Because first of all, you are a mother.”
website: In your opinion, can eating your own placenta help a woman recover?
S.Z.: Unfortunately, this topic causes hysterics among Russian people. I don’t want to see “holivar” in the comments, so I’ll leave your question unanswered. Those who are really interested can discuss this topic with me at seminars.
Today's phone conversation with the former lead singer of the group “Demo” and designer Sasha Zvereva for the editor of the “Stars and Children” column Tatyana Silina was not the first. They saw each other several years ago. Then her daughter Vasilisa was 7, her son Makar was only 2 years old. They were happy to welcome Tatyana in their Moscow apartment and enthusiastically talked about their favorite toys.
That conversation with the mother of two children was remembered for a long time. And especially the phrase: “I do not strive for peace and to be supported by a man.” 6 years passed - and it became clear that Sasha Zvereva was not lying at all.

Sasha, you are now in Los Angeles. With three children. In the status of an unmarried girl. So it turns out that the desire to constantly do something and be financially independent has not disappeared?
Absolutely nothing has changed since our last interview! I am not supported by a man and I am not in such a state that I can relax and, like most women, take care of the house and take the children to their clubs. This has not happened, does not exist and will not happen. I live in America, pursue a career, develop my business, and devote myself to children. And when a person appears in my life, I will make sure that he is not another man whom I will need to help financially and bear this share on myself. And inner peace... I finally found it!
About 5 years ago I didn’t have the confidence inside me that I have now. It didn’t seem to me that if something suddenly happened, I could handle everything myself. I had some kind of dependence on a man. When our relationship went wrong, I tried to save it. And not because I love and can’t live, but because it was scary. This happens to most women in Russia. They don’t know where to go, what to eat, what to do in case of separation. This fear has gone away for me.
I know that I will do everything myself, I know that I will endure everything and that everything will be better than it could be.
Children of Sasha Zvereva: Vasilisa, Makar and Lev

And so it happened. You moved to the USA alone with three children. What prompted you to do this?
Just a few days ago I wrote a post about why I moved. You know when Russian people you say it happened because of the weather, they don’t believe it! (laughs) For them, this is not a serious reason to leave their comfort zone and move to a distant country, because “it’s expensive, difficult, scary there.”
But you know, there is such an expression: “Nothing is impossible if you are crazy enough.”
This is what happened to me! I was so freaked out by Moscow, by the dirt around me... I am a person for whom all the little things are important. This can even be understood from my Instagram. I always describe the weather in detail, I look at the soil, grass, leaves, clouds. This is really very important to me. In Moscow, you came out of the supermarket with bags, put them in the trunk, and on your jeans there was a giant stain of dirt from the car. Dirt is everywhere - on your tights, on the windshield when you drive along the Moscow Ring Road... And here all year round clean jeans, clean car, smells delicious of the ocean. For me, these details made all the difference! It is very comfortable to live here. Comfortable from start to finish - from buying underwear to the smell of water in the sink.
Sasha Zvereva runs her own clothing brand SZstyle
Instagram@sashazvereva
Comfort is, of course, wonderful. But in a foreign country you need to do something, and this is probably more difficult than at home...
Of course, you need to study. I have a business. The SZstyle project is a Russian production of “universal clothing” that can be worn by pregnant women, nursing mothers, and ordinary girls (the clothes have special elastic bands and hidden zippers for feeding). And also SZLA - a store in Los Angeles. I bring excellent vitamins and dietary supplements from America, super-effective cosmetics based on plants and superfoods. All this is sold in my store. I also give concerts in Russia and America.
I'm also doing my own information activities- I tell women how to prepare for childbirth.
In general, in America there is a very large percentage of births through caesarean section. But in Los Angeles now there is a trend towards everything natural and natural, women's minds are changing. And I can be useful here, because I have an excellent example of three natural births, and I have moved to another country behind me. I think this all instills confidence in me as someone who can be listened to and trusted.
Sasha calls her parents very wise people
Instagram@sashazvereva
Sasha, how did your parents react to your decision to move?
My parents are very wise people. Maybe I wouldn’t look up to them in some everyday or business matters, but in their attitude towards children - definitely! They never impose their opinion and vision. They accept any choice their children make. They can warn and talk about their concerns, but there has never been any pressure or rejection on their part. I am trying to transfer this wisdom to my children - no matter what you are, even if the whole world is against you, know that there are people at home who will always be for you, who will be on your side.
I understand that you are a very independent girl. But still, three children are not one baby. They require enormous attention, expenses...
There is an opinion that after the birth of three children it becomes easy even with the fourth or fifth. No! Each child is an even greater burden. Both moral and financial. And the most important thing is responsibility. I feel a huge, incredible responsibility. Basically, I have arranged everything in my life in such a way that now I can breathe and wake up in the morning happily and easily. But responsibility... It will remain until, probably, youngest child will not be at least 21-22 years old. For example, a girl, in any case, needs to be provided with initial capital in a bank, a car, and housing.
I understand that I must be able to do everything and do everything. How - I don’t know yet, but, as they say, the one who walks can master the road.
Makar and Vasilisa started speaking English 3 months after moving
Instagram@sashazvereva
How do children in new country? After all, moving is new language, new friends, new school... This is not always painless...
It was very difficult at first. But absolutely everyone who moves with children over 10 years old faces this. Until the age of 10, they tolerate such changes normally; at this age it is simply important for them to have their mother nearby. But after that it’s more difficult, because children form a certain circle of friends that they don’t want to change. And so the move was difficult for Vasilisa. Everyone told me: “Sasha, give her a year to adapt.” But I remember that a year had already passed, but still the matter was not moving much forward. I even began to worry... We worked with a psychologist - Vasilisa told him on Skype about all her problems. Everything fell into place when my daughter had a large team of friends. She became more self-confident and fell in love with this country.
Tell us how Vasilisa and Makar reacted to the fact that at one point the family was left without a dad?
Vasilisa saw that something was wrong. Makar didn't care - he was still too small. To explain how we all felt about parting with Ilya (father of Vasilisa and Makar - ed.), I will give an example: imagine - a man was walking along the road and his car hit him. He was gone in an instant. And it happens that a person is sick for a long time and the whole family understands that he will soon be gone. Yes, it’s hard, but there is an internal readiness for it.
It was the same with Ilya - we all understood that this story was ending.

Is there anything that you cannot forgive your loved one?
It’s difficult... With age, the boundaries expand and you are more ready to accept a person for who he is, you move away from material ideas, for example, “I can’t forgive him if he doesn’t earn a lot of money,” “I can’t forgive him if he will cheat on me with another woman.” It is more important to me if a person cannot accept me, my side, cannot defend my interests, and I cannot feel protected next to him. This is more likely to ruin my relationship.
You lived with a man without a stamp in your passport, you were your legal wife. During this time, has your view of what a family should be like changed?
I lived with a man for 10 years with the hope that if I didn’t sign, it would be forever. However, the relationship ended. Then I lived in marriage for 4 years and thought that now it was definitely forever. Also no. You know, I believe that the most important thing is love between people. If there is love, then it doesn’t matter whether there is a seal or not. Probably the most important thing is the wedding. But I didn’t have a wedding. This is what we need to approach.
You are very frank person. Especially in the reality show “Pregnant” on Domashny. Aren't you afraid to open up to the world so much?
Believe me, in the reality show “Pregnant” and on Instagram you saw 1/8 of everything that happens in my life. I don’t show the true state of things, I don’t tell how my affairs really are.
Sometimes I even lead like this confusing games to take people away from what I really want to hide.
So don't worry about me. I hid what I need safely (smiles).
Naturalness is Sasha’s peculiar motto
Instagram@sashazvereva
You have half a million subscribers. That is, you are the person who is interesting. The one you want to emulate. After all, this is a big responsibility! Not scary?
I cannot answer for people, whether they will perceive the information on Instagram adequately or not. I judge by myself. Sane people will always give their assessment. I read a lot of people on Instagram - these are psychologists, valeologists, adherents of a healthy lifestyle, and coaches. Of course, I do not agree with all of their postulates. I take note of some things, apply some things in life, and forget others right away. I believe that this should happen to every sane person. I try to write carefully, I feel this responsibility. For example, I never said that you should only give birth at home, that hospitals are bad, scary and wrong. I can calmly talk about this with people who, I am sure, will understand everything correctly and will not blindly imitate. But I won’t discuss this with a large audience.
Singer Sasha Zvereva decided to tell a rather frank story. The celebrity, who has been living in America for several years, told her fans in detail why she moved to permanent place residence overseas.
Famous singer, DJ and blogger on her official page on Instagram she described in detail and openly all her experiences and emotions associated with visiting America. In short, they boil down to the complete delight and indescribable sensations that the former lead singer of the once popular group “Demo” received when she arrived in this country for filming. In addition, Sasha also spoke about the tour of her second husband, with whom she visited the United States.
“Most often we lived with our friend. In the mornings, while Dima was sleeping, I would walk along the clean path along Coldwater to Whole Foods and freeze there... Looking at these incredible vegetables and berries in any season, on which water was sprayed from above... Imagining that here I am rich, and taking everything from shelves, throwing them into the cart, without looking at the price... That Sasha didn’t even dream that 6 years later she would do just that... It’s impossible to convey what I experienced (and what’s the secret, and still experience) in the amusement park. I just constantly thought that it’s possible not to fly so far. You can just get in the car whenever you want and go to the park any evening! I can't say that I raved about the Ocean and Los Angeles. I just firmly knew and strived with all my heart, as I now know 100%, that I would live as a full family in a large, stylish house in Malibu...”
Fans of Zvereva thanked her for such a detailed story about life, and, of course, noted her desire to fulfill cherished desires and achieving the goals set for yourself.
“And I like the fact that you so passionately wanted to live in Los Angeles... You dreamed... And here it is... You live exactly where you want!!! Devotion to a dream is what it is"
“I’m very glad that everything worked out for you! And it’s great to live where you feel comfortable.”
“You have trodden a difficult path for yourself - but this is the sweetness of life! Let everything be just fine"
“I just want to say: “For the fulfillment of dreams”
“Simply wonderfully written! It’s like I’ve been there for a few minutes now.”
"Let dreams come true"
Let us remember that Zvereva moved to Los Angeles in 2014. There she lives with three children: daughter Vasilisa and son Makar from her first marriage, as well as Lev, who was born from the singer’s second husband.
