Daria Subbotina: escaped from paradise. Daria Subobina - presenter with a radiant smile

Bali Island many famous people considered heaven on earth. Here already for a long time One of the ex-“Brilliants”, Polina Iodis, lives and teaches surfing. He lives for months, continuing to lead his musical projects, producer Max Fadeev. TV presenter Daria Subbotina also voluntarily fled to the island and lived in Bali for about three years.

She had successful career on TV. “Muz TV”, “Domashny”, “Russia” and, finally, NTV, where Dasha hosted the weekly program “Dachny Otvet”. And suddenly, in 2011, Subbotina disappeared. As it turned out later, the girl dropped everything and went to Bali. For three long years. Now Daria is already in Moscow and is happy to share memories of her adventures in Bali.

“The shaman from Java saved me”

- Dasha, how did you decide to leave your established life in the capital?

- When a dream is born, it eats you up from the inside. And here you need to either succumb to this idea, try, or constantly be in discomfort and depression. Moreover, for me, visible signs of success - work, money - were not such a serious argument in favor of Moscow. For me personally, at that moment the priority was the opportunity to live as you want and where you want. I really wanted to go to Bali, so I made this choice. Moreover, I was offered a large and successful advertising contract. And instead of investing in real estate, I invested it in my departure. I quit my job and moved away.

- Tell me, how was your typical day on the island?

- My morning usually started with yoga classes. There were magical dinners with friends in the cutest restaurants, where you were served natural, fresh products. There were trips to some funny markets, there were parties on the beach with cool DJs. All this was accompanied by swimming in the ocean. We often went to neighboring islands, where we could swim with giant manta rays and turtles. Jump from cliffs into the water, ride all kinds of boats, climb mountains. Visiting natives who have never seen white people... Naturally, when you live in the tropics, you read a lot more books than in Moscow. In Bali I just swallowed them... Well, what else? There were some romantic dates and dinners. In Moscow, people are busier. They are in their shells. It is very difficult for them to get out of them somewhere every evening. In Bali this is done quite simply. Everyone is ready for this.

- And these three years you didn’t work at all?

No, I was invited to work for a large Singaporean magazine, Robb Report, as a correspondent permanently based in Bali. I wrote for the first time in my life on English language. This was the main thing I did. I also continued to write for Moscow glossies. I didn't do anything else in Bali.

- Did you miss your Moscow friends on the island?

- I was so entrenched there and so immersed in my life there with those friends who live by the same values ​​and joys that I didn’t get bored one bit. There was Skype, there was an opportunity to communicate with everyone and find out how things were going. But, believe me, when you live far from home for a long time, everything in your homeland is seen in a gloomy light. When I watched the news from Moscow, I realized that I didn’t want to go back at all. Even when friends came, it took them two weeks to come to their senses. We got rid of the Moscow negativity, only after that it became interesting to communicate with them.

It is believed that Bali is a place of power, and that the shamans there can radically change a person’s destiny. Can you confirm?

- As for “dramatically changing fate” - I don’t know. But to point somewhere correctly and suggest something, yes. I remember my first meeting with a female healer from the island of Java (and I didn’t live in Bali at that time, I was just getting ready to move). I felt unhappy, because everything in Moscow was boring and irritating to me. I was exhausted. She switched me over and let me cry - I sobbed on the table, although I didn’t talk to her at all. And there was no need. She just pressed some button in me. And then she said the right words, which were said at the right time. She showed me a breathing practice that I still use to this day. When I wake up, I do these exercises and immediately feel energized. I am incredibly grateful to all the people I met there. And they made me not a different person, but a person who now controls himself better than before.

“I returned to Moscow a changed person”

- According to you, Bali is simply an ideal place to live. Why did you still come back?

Probably because I got sick. Island disease - they say there is such a thing. You get sick with it after some time: you begin to suffocate in space, because it is an island. When I came to Bali, for the first couple of years I said that I would never have something like this. What is the island's disease? There are so many places here! If you want coolness, you can live in the mountains, where you light a fireplace at night, because it’s cool - about twenty degrees. You can go to other islands. But at some point I got the impression that I felt cramped. I was probably tired of the natives, of some excessive simplicity. I wanted difficulties. My life was too simple, everything was too easy. And also, probably, I have so much strength that I want to fight for something, to feel something new. Perhaps I was missing some kind of architecture that only exists in Moscow. I suddenly realized that Moscow is very beautiful city. I am a Muscovite, but I have never paid attention to the roofs of houses or architectural gadgets. And I realized that I miss civilization, culture, new communication, and a dynamic pace of life. There is not enough cold air. For three years I had had enough of the heat, I wanted to exhale so that steam would come out of my mouth ( laughs). I didn't expect this from myself. Because it seemed to me that I would stay in Bali forever and would never be a resident of the metropolis. But I deceived myself, as it turned out, I didn’t have enough of all this.

- It turns out that you are disappointed in this earthly paradise?

- If you ask me now what I want more than anything in the world, I’ll honestly say: more than anything in the world I want to go to Bali. But... I just want to go for a month. See your friends, see the island, drive to your favorite places, swim in waterfalls. But not to live. I was not disappointed at all, but I had enough rest from the hard life in the metropolis to say that I now have enough strength to resist it and accept everything without irritation. In any case, I returned to Moscow a different person.

- What has changed in your worldview during your life in Bali?

- I guess I have become more patient. When something doesn’t work out the way you want, when everything doesn’t work out on time, when desires don’t come true, I don’t tear my hair out and advise those around me to do the same. Everything became much easier. But it is now more difficult here in Moscow to adapt to the pursuit of status. I thought it was funny before. People post endlessly social media photos of your successes, new clothes, travel. And this is a completely crazy chase, who has it better, who has more. On the one hand, this seems wild to me, but on the other hand, I cannot be completely aloof from this ( laughs). After all, if I want to survive here, to achieve something, then I also need to participate in this.

- What new things are you still ready for?

- It seems to me that I have become ready to start a family. When I left for Bali, I had no idea that I wanted some kind of stable relationship. I really liked that I was my own boss. I can break away and leave, and none of my married friends can afford this. To some extent they were jealous of me, probably ( laughs). Now I understand that I have already tried a free life and am ready to “settle down” in one place. No matter where. And as soon as everything works out in my personal life, I think I’ll be ready for the birth of a child...

An excerpt characterizing Subbotin, Daria Nikolaevna

In November 1805, Prince Vasily was supposed to go to an audit in four provinces. He arranged this appointment for himself in order to visit his ruined estates at the same time, and taking with him (at the location of his regiment) his son Anatoly, he and he would go to Prince Nikolai Andreevich Bolkonsky in order to marry his son to the daughter of this rich man old man. But before leaving and these new affairs, Prince Vasily needed to resolve matters with Pierre, who, however, Lately spent whole days at home, that is, with Prince Vasily, with whom he lived, he was funny, excited and stupid (as a lover should be) in the presence of Helen, but still did not propose.
“Tout ca est bel et bon, mais il faut que ca finisse,” [All this is good, but we must end it] - Prince Vasily said to himself one morning with a sigh of sadness, realizing that Pierre, who owed him so much (well, yes Christ be with him!), is not doing very well in this matter. “Youth... frivolity... well, God bless him,” thought Prince Vasily, feeling his kindness with pleasure: “mais il faut, que ca finisse.” After Lelya’s name day tomorrow, I will call someone, and if he does not understand what he must do, then it will be my business. Yes, it's my business. I am the father!
Pierre, a month and a half after Anna Pavlovna's evening and the sleepless, excited night that followed, in which he decided that marrying Helen would be a misfortune, and that he needed to avoid her and leave, Pierre, after this decision, did not move from Prince Vasily and was horrified felt that every day he was more and more connected with her in the eyes of people, that he could not in any way return to his previous view of her, that he could not tear himself away from her, that it would be terrible, but that he would have to connect with her destiny. Perhaps he could have abstained, but not a day passed when Prince Vasily (who rarely had a reception) did not have an evening at which Pierre should have been, if he did not want to upset the general pleasure and deceive everyone’s expectations. Prince Vasily, in those rare moments when he was at home, passing by Pierre, pulled him down by the hand, absentmindedly offered him a shaved, wrinkled cheek for a kiss and said either “see you tomorrow” or “by dinner, otherwise I won’t see you.” , or “I’m staying for you,” etc. But despite the fact that when Prince Vasily stayed for Pierre (as he said), he did not say two words to him, Pierre did not feel able to deceive his expectations . Every day he kept telling himself the same thing: “We must finally understand her and give ourselves an account: who is she? Have I been wrong before or am I wrong now? No, she's not stupid; no, she's a wonderful girl! - he said to himself sometimes. “She’s never wrong about anything, she’s never said anything stupid.” She doesn't say much, but what she says is always simple and clear. So she's not stupid. She has never been embarrassed and never is. So she’s not a bad woman!” Often he happened to start reasoning with her, thinking out loud, and every time she answered him with either a short, but appropriately spoken remark, showing that she was not interested in this, or with a silent smile and glance, which most palpably showed Pierre her superiority. She was right in recognizing all reasoning as nonsense compared to that smile.

When she, dreaming of television, came to the competition for Muz-TV presenters, she found herself surrounded by a forest of long-legged models. “But you can’t see your height on TV, but people will definitely pay attention to my sparkling jokes!” - Dasha Subbotina realized - and won the competition.
She quickly took her place in the firmament of Russian VJs, and now holds high rating"Around the World" program on RTR.

COSMO You weren’t afraid to leave Muz-TV, because this channelmade you famous?
DASHA I felt it was time. Seven years of work at Muz-TV gave me a name, but it began to work against me. I grew older, I had ambitions and a desire to prove myself not only in music journalism, although my work on Muz-TV could not be called journalism. I wanted changes in my life, I felt some kind of stagnation.

COSMO But for you it was not just a change of format, but a change of lifestyle - goodbye, party!
DASHA I really wanted to say goodbye, I sincerely say, to music show business. This is such a narrow circle of people! I could no longer go to nightclubs, to the planned parties of this little world of ours, I wanted to diversify my communication. My job did not allow me to have the circle of acquaintances that I wanted.

COSMO Why didn't you like the circle of pop stars?
DASHA There are so few of them, they are so frivolous, and flighty, and frivolous, and shallow...

COSMO Isn’t it wonderful to have cheerful and easy-going people around?
DASHA But this is an illusion, and they live in an illusory world, and I lived the same way for seven years, I’m already tired. I wanted something real.

COSMO You Probably, after Muz-TV, she couldn’t listen to our music anymore?
DASHA I already came to Muz-TV with certain musical tastes: just as I didn’t like Russian music before, I still don’t like it. There are a couple of groups and professional artists whom I respect. But my musical preferences never coincided with the mass preferences of our viewer and listener.

COSMO That is that Did you not like what you were promoting at all?
DASHA How can you like this? It’s not my fault that due to the fact that people are being sold an endless rotation of some terrible groups, singers and singers, people are getting used to it. I felt this myself: when you hear Katya Lel from morning to evening, you involuntarily start humming her.

COSMO What about this attitude towards national stage have you ever managed to be friends with pop stars?
DASHA Most Russian musicians are people with humor. It seems to me that they themselves treat their creativity with sufficient sarcasm, perceiving it primarily as making money. Nobody is offended.

COSMO What changed for you with the transition from a music channel to a serious one?
DASHA On the one hand, now I have less of a feeling that I am working on television than I did then. If we talk about the signs of television - spotlights, makeup, directors, a lot of equipment, then now I only have a camera and a director. And all the other equipment doesn’t travel with me. But, on the other hand, there is a main difference - stupidity will not work! And on Muz-TV, stupidity is an axiom. I'm already so far away from this. Sometimes I’m even ashamed of my colleagues, although I don’t blame them. This is the kind of work that requires stupidity. I wouldn't want to do this anymore. There should be jokes and lively interest in everything. But not outright primitivism! I have never been a superficial person. At least, I don’t want to consider myself that way. And I wouldn’t want to be perceived as some kind of dummy.

COSMO Has the teenage excitement around you subsided now? I remember they used to say that about you – “a teenager’s dream”?
DASHA It would be strange if teenagers still looked at their adult aunt with delight. Even funny. I started at 19, but 10 years have passed since then. As for the fans, they still call my mobile phone and come with flowers and gifts. Now there are practically no teenagers, but still somewhere in shopping centers Very young people recognize me. I don’t know, either they remember me from childhood, or they watch RTR. But I was not at all afraid of losing my young fans. The change of channel and program was deliberate. I really wanted to travel as a journalist, not as a tourist. As a tourist, I always traveled: all the money I earned from Muz-TV, in other places, on the radio, wherever I worked, I spent on trips. I don’t know how to save, I don’t invest in apartments, cars...

COSMO Don't have an apartment and a car?
DASHA I have something, but it’s not my merit, but my parents’. And so I began to try myself in the “Unknown Planet” program on Channel One, and then received an offer from “Around the World”. I have nostalgia for Muz-TV, but this is an adult’s longing for childhood, for frivolity, for what cannot be returned.

COSMO Weren't you afraid of growing up?
DASHA Of course, she was afraid. I really want to pretend that you are still little, that you are not yet fully responsible for your actions. On the other hand, I want to understand what it is - a real adulthood. I've never wanted to have a home, a family, quiet dinners and company from married couples. When I worked at Muz-TV, it seemed to me that this way of life was the most boring thing that could happen. I was always at parties, parties, I really liked the attention. I never wanted or sought quiet family happiness. Now I have found it, and there is nothing more valuable to me. But to appreciate it, you had to live that crazy party life. I love, of course, going out somewhere, but it’s no longer at the forefront as it was before.

COSMO How long have you been living separately from your parents?
DASHA About two years. I really felt like a child for a long time. At first I tried to live alone, rented an apartment, and then love came into my life and I began to live with my loved one.

COSMO You once said in an interview that you had a complex towardsto Russian men...
DASHA Yes, things didn’t work out for me with ours. This is because Muscovites are very spoiled by beautiful women and the opportunities this city provides. If this is a deep person, then he is boring, and if he is cheerful, then he is shallow.

COSMO But you have so many famous acquaintances - artists, TV presenters! Didn't you like anyone?
DASHA An artist is a narcissistic child. It seems to me to have some kind of serious relationship impossible. I have never had any romances with artists. And until I was 27, I had love stories mainly with Europeans. My penultimate boyfriend was Italian. If I ever made a date with someone in Moscow, it was simply out of boredom. And the eyes always lit up “there”. For me, Europeans were the most interesting and incomprehensible. But, thank God, it so happened that a Russian man fell on my head. And suddenly it became interesting and incomprehensible with him too!

COSMO Did you immediately understand that this was love?
DASHA No, my relationships most often begin with antipathy. Or out of complete indifference. At first we spent a lot of time together in a common company, then autumn came, I wanted to somehow meet more locally...

COSMO Is everything as he says or according to you?
DASHA My favorite is flint. To get what I want from him, I need to work hard on myself and on him. And that’s why I’m very interested in him. This is not an easy catch. The fact that we have been together for a year is our common achievement. And he works on himself to be with me, because I, of course, am not a gift either.

COSMO How is it shown?
DASHA I really love variety. Not a variety of people - in this sense I am monogamous - but I want there to be constant events and movements in my life, so that we have new interests and hobbies. If we sit in the same place and do the same thing, I begin to choke.

COSMO When you meet a young man, you wonder whether he will good father your unborn child, or are you mentally asking yourself if he is a good lover?
DASHA Neither one nor the other. When I met men with whom I could develop some kind of relationship, I, first of all, thought about whether I would be bored with him for a long time. But a man must be reliable. Frivolous men are not for me. I've been through this many times. Of course, I have a lot of experience, and there was a period when I communicated with a very frivolous person for several years. And I’m very glad, because he taught me a lot. For example, the fact that one cannot demand constant dizziness and euphoria from life. Because this is a road to nowhere. And I stopped looking for such people, but before I was looking for them.

COSMO There is a country Which one would you still like to visit?
DASHA From a professional point of view, I probably wouldn’t want to go anywhere. I'm a little tired. But she herself, without an assignment, would like to go to Cuba while Fidel’s times are still there. Feel all this socialism, see old cars and hang out with people who still believe in all these mythical ideals. Understand what keeps this system going. How do these people with an insane temperament, who have nothing, do not strive to turn anything around, change anything...

COSMO What place on Earth surprised you, a professional traveler, the most?
DASHA I would really like to return to Cape Verde, these are the Cape Verde Islands, there are ten of them. Incredible, fantastic place. I managed to visit there by chance and for only three days. We were in Senegal, and I know that the Cape Verde Islands are nearby and just a stone's throw away. And when this dream was so close - just reach out, I did everything that depended on me to get there. We paid a lot of money and took full responsibility. For me, these islands still remain the most incredible thing on the planet, and I have seen a lot. This is something very unusual - cut off from the rest of the world, there are many volcanoes and palm groves at the same time. And Cesaria Evora, my favorite singer, lives there.

COSMO They say , you take incredible suitcases with you on every trip.
DASHA Yes, every time I take something very elegant with me, even something I won’t wear, it somehow warms me psychologically. It’s very difficult for me to put on some hiking clothes. And in this sense, traveling to wild places is real stress for me. Wearing hiking boots, “safety” pants and a jacket with pockets every day is a challenge: I love feminine looks. Since childhood, my mother instilled in me a taste for beauty.

COSMO But you and your mother are practically colleagues.
DASHA Yes, she worked as a DJ at Nostalgie. She and I are generally similar. Both overcame very important psychological barriers, since both are very shy. I am, of course, to a lesser extent than my mother; after all, I am from a different generation. And when she had to retrain as a DJ from an announcer at the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, where she worked in foreign broadcasting for 20 years, she had to become a completely different person - relaxed, loose-lipped, with a very quick reaction. In general, we succeeded almost in parallel: she became the host tourism program on Mayak, and I became the host of the same program on television. So, if I need "information support", she always helps me. We have easy communication. Sometimes I even forget who I’m talking to, that this person is my mother, so sometimes I can say too much. We are friends, we have completely erased the age limit. This is the only way I will communicate with my children. In general, I get along easily with children and love them very much.

COSMO Yes , I heard that you were almost present at the birth of Aurora’s child.
DASHA I would have been glad to attend, but on the day she gave birth, I flew away on a business trip. But she would definitely be there, because Aurora and I have been friends for a long time and still remain very close people. I take an active part in the life of her family.

COSMO What do you think the next generation of TV presenters will be like? And in particular VJs?
DASHA We must honestly admit that priorities in society are shifting. What can I say - there are silicon valleys all around, and they pay attention to this. But if you work in a live genre, where there is no teleprompter and you need reaction, a sense of humor, presentation and your personality, no amount of silicone will save you.

COSMO K How do you take care of yourself? You are a big fashionista, you probably change your looks all the time...
DASHA Yes, I am very interested in this, I love interesting things, and every year my preferences become more and more refined. I develop a love for certain brands. Moscow is becoming an increasingly luxurious city every year, with more and more designer stores appearing. I want this, and that, and the fifth, and the tenth. I also buy a lot abroad.

COSMO Means , if earlier all the money was spent on travel, now on things?
DASHA And for lunches with girlfriends. For me, the most important thing in life is communication. I don't think about money at all when I do this.

COSMO What do you need to be completely happy?
DASHA I think that I would be happier if I already had a real family - children there, and so on. But this is what it's all about.

This fragile girl with sparkling eyes and a charming smile has already become a recognized star Russian television. Daria Subbotina was on Muz-TV, telling us about distant countries...

This fragile girl with sparkling eyes and a charming smile has already become a recognized star of Russian television. Daria Subbotina rocked Muz-TV, told us about distant countries in the Around the World program on the Rossiya TV channel, and now, having become more mature and serious, she preaches family values on "Home".

- Dasha, who did your parents see you and who did you want to become when you grew up?

• My parents wanted me to become either a translator or a journalist so that I would have intellectual and creative profession. Actually, this is what happened, because languages ​​were very useful to me in my journalistic practice. I myself am in early childhood wanted to become a ballerina, but then very quickly decided to study journalism. Probably because I have always been interested in communicating with people. Without communication, I simply suffocate.

- That’s probably why you got a job on television?

I had good English: I studied it in a special school. And so I was hired to work in the English-language program for foreigners “Afternoon in Russia.” It was on the fourth, educational channel. At first I wrote texts for the presenter in English, and then I became a correspondent, interviewing different characters. I was still very young then, studying at school. After entering the journalism department at the age of 19, I got to the casting of the presenters of Muz-TV - a regular casting that is carried out by thousands in television companies. And she passed it.

- Do you remember the first time you saw yourself on camera?

• I had mixed feelings. I liked myself outwardly, although it was not my merit, but good job makeup artists. “Muz-TV” is an image channel, so it was impossible to look nondescript.

- Did you have some kind of image imposed on you?

I was considered the most romantic girl on the channel. Although, of course, this was not true. On the one hand I am a romantic, on the other I am a terrible cynic. Colleagues always made fun of me because of this image, which came about by itself. During the first broadcasts, I had internal self-doubt and fear, which probably was not felt on camera. But I noticed it myself and worked on myself in every possible way. It took a lot of time, but now I am 99 percent confident in myself.

- Your work in the Around the World program would be the envy of many. Traveled to so many countries!

• During the 2.5 years that I worked in the Around the World program, I really liked it there, but recent months I simply overpowered myself and traveled reluctantly because I was very tired. It is much harder for a girl to work in this mode than for a young man, especially in some extreme situations. AND personal life suffers. I worked live on Muz-TV for a long time and communicated with a lot of Russian-speaking people, understood Russian jokes, responded in kind, found each other mutual language. And I missed this while working on the Rossiya TV channel. I really wanted to get back into mode live broadcast. And when they told me about the live broadcast on Domashny, I immediately agreed, because this is exactly what I wanted. There are guests, calls, and live communication.

- Don’t you want to sit at home after so much traveling?

This is exactly what I’ve been doing for three months now - I don’t leave Moscow at all, and I like it so much that it’s simply impossible to force me to leave somewhere. I fell in love with Moscow only after I started leaving it often. For me she is best city on the planet.

- Dasha, does your personal life suffer after changing jobs?

Now I'm looking great love. (Laughs.) I have finished one story. I try to forget her and start a new life.

- Do you want to settle down?

I didn’t hide from any of the young people I ever dated that I wanted a family. And she never pretended to be an inaccessible and independent woman who doesn’t need anything, she can handle everything herself. Maybe in the 90s there was a fashion for independent women, and now, as you can see from magazines and television programs, the attitude towards the family has changed. These values ​​have become fashionable. But I'm not trying to follow fashion. Now for me the most important thing in life is to get married and have a child.

- What qualities in a man are absolutely unacceptable to you?

Duplicity. I'm very afraid of this and don't like it. I've encountered this more than once in my life. The most important thing is that this does not happen further. When a person lives double life, says one thing, but thinks another, hides something - this is disgusting. I wouldn't want to go through that again.

- And yours weak sides You know?

Yes. (Laughs.) I think that I am quite selfish, but I constantly struggle with this, I try to catch myself at such moments when I feel that my selfishness is already going off scale. I demand a lot of attention and love when people listen to me. I’m also completely uneconomical. Simply because I had no reason to become a good housewife. This should probably come with experience when I start living with a family. But for now that's it. I don’t really know how to cook or look after the house.

At the beginning of the interview, you said that while working at Muz-TV you were used to looking good. Did you like to dress fashionably before or did television instill in you a taste for beautiful clothes?

I have always been and will be a terrible fashionista. This came from my childhood, I don’t even know how it happened. For many years now, my favorite brand has been Missoni. I really like their bright, hippie style, which is present in their collection every year in one way or another, mixed with ethnic or a more glamorous option. I like them bright colors, drawings, prints. I also like Kenzo because it’s also bright. Of the simpler brands, I like Bershka - this brand is widespread in Europe, but it is not yet available in Moscow. Their clothes are very cheap. Since I traveled a lot, I simply bought kilos of clothes from this brand. There are a lot of original things there that you won’t find in expensive brand stores. I'm also obsessed with bags and buy crazy amounts of them.

Surely you only recently started buying clothes in Moscow, because it is believed that they are much cheaper abroad?

• I used to buy things wherever I needed (mostly while traveling). I had such cases that while filming was going on at a train station somewhere in Portugal, I ran to the nearest store and bought things in 15-20 minutes, without even trying them on. And she flew on to filming.

- How do you spend your free time now?

Now the main thing for me is the company of friends. I really love feasts, I like to visit people and go to restaurants. When my friends are nearby, I can spend time with them anywhere.

- Can you wish anything to the readers of Woman Journal?

• We, the residents big cities, are subject to a lot of temptations, influences from outside - fashion, other people's views on life, men dictating their will to us. I want to wish you not to change yourself in any way. I say this from my own experience. You can't live under dictation. You can't rely on other people's opinions. You can listen to advice, but apply it only through the prism of your personality. I would like to wish everyone to remain true to their individuality in all respects.
