Lydia Taran and Andrey. Lydia Taran: A meaningless life is not for me

Andrey Domansky and Lydia Taran broke up after five years of marriage. "This can't be!" - they said in television circles after Andrei frankly admitted a few months ago that he had left the family. For colleagues, this news was like a bolt from the blue. After all, the couple was considered almost a role model: both work in the same field and, it seems, like no one should understand each other. But life takes its toll...

“At the last stage of our relationship and after it ended, I had serious problems with self-esteem,” Lida admits. - I thought: God, how wrong I lived, since I built a family all these years, and at the age of 32 I received a kick that showed me that the construction of my life collapsed in an instant! After the break
I have lost 9 kg. I had no appetite, I didn’t want anything ... "

- Lida, when there was talk about your breakup, they were considered an unsuccessful joke, gossip of envious people ... Anything, but not the truth. After all, in the eyes of the public, you were the perfect family.

Yes, it all happened in an instant. Usually you are told about this when everything is really destroyed. And before that, I thought that everything was fine. We had a media family, and it seemed to me that we should have been sympathetic to the peculiarities of our work. Andrei went on a rapid career turn, in parallel with my main activity, a dance project began. After working days, I managed to manage the house, raise a child and thought: everything is fine ... Until the first of January I found out that our family was no more.

- Not the best gift from Santa Claus ...

Yes, I received it on the first day of 2010. For six months, Andrei and I were preparing a detailed ski trip. They left the child to their grandmother - before that they worked around the clock and dreamed that we would get into the car and drive across Europe to Italy to ski. For four years, these trips have become a tradition in our family. But on January 1, in Lvov, Andrei said that he would not go further - he urgently needed to return to Kyiv and be alone.

Since friends with whom we planned this train were waiting for us early in the morning in Lvov, I had to ask Andrey not to shock them and pay off the Schengen visa with us, cross the border, and then, under the pretext of work, return to Kiev.

I tried to talk, offered to settle in another hotel ... But by his appearance it was noticeable that he did not intend to rest with me. As a result, we nevertheless reached Italy. And the next day Andrey returned to Kyiv. I couldn't help it. I had stress, shock, panic ... Ridiculous arguments that we had been preparing for this for so long, left the child, and in general what I would do now alone, if this vacation was planned for two, did not work on him. this trip, I saw that Andrei was distracted by his telephone life, withdrawing into himself, and offered to talk. But he stood his ground: "It's okay!" As a result, I was left alone in Italy. And, in fact, upon returning to Kyiv, it all ended.

- And how did you explain to mutual friends that you are no longer one family?

This was the hardest part of the situation. Many did not believe, some tried to reconcile us. But still we avoided tedious showdowns. Andrei's circle of acquaintances has changed. He used to love talking to himself.
with him, and now, in connection with the professional demand, he does not need a large circle of friends at all.

So much time has passed since the breakup. Did you really not have a normal conversation?

There was no real dialogue. At first, it's hard to explain. Emotions, claims... When such a tangle gathers, people cannot adequately talk. And then it turns out that no one needs it for a long time.

First, Andrei announced that he wanted to rent an apartment and live alone, because we could not live together. “Probably yes,” I replied. "Since you've made that decision."

But men have a rule: if they decide something, they want to share the responsibility for it with someone else. He realized that he could not live with me, but I had to make the decision. This is an "absentee ticket" for a man: "You said it yourself!"

- You broke up in the winter, but continued to work together. How did you manage to keep the breakup a secret for so long?

We had a number of events where we were engaged together even before the New Year. Already living apart, we had no right to refuse them ... It was, of course, inconvenient. But that's work.

And no one knew anything, because we did not advertise. They even asked the press services of our channels not to say anything. And it worked.

Then Andrei himself told me that his press service had long written in the column “marital status”: “Not married. She is raising three children." I asked: “So I can also say that I am not married and have a daughter?” “Apparently, yes,” Andrei replied. On this they decided.

Lida, men sometimes have something similar to remorse. Andrei did not come to you with such confessions?

Usually serious relationships rarely experience this. I thought that we were many years old, we had seen a lot, experienced different periods. But Andrei is one of those people who cannot hide their relationship. If he fell in love, then he wants to be with this person ...

Your feminine curiosity did not falter, you didn’t want to know who the stranger who broke your family happiness was?

I didn't even make any special inquiries. I get gossip, but I'm not inclined to believe the world of show business. I am already calm, and Andrei looks like a happy person who lives for his own pleasure. But he has changed. I look at him and understand that five years ago I started a relationship with a completely different person. He just has his own, not family priorities now.

- Did you have any suspicions that your husband has another woman?

Of course there were. At the age of 35-36, men experience crises in their lives, and a woman who lives with such a man thinks that all his hobbies are a temporary phenomenon, because love is a great power. And the most ridiculous thing is to ask what's going on. Nobody will tell anyway. When I asked him directly, he denied everything. No, I had, of course, some female premonitions. Well, then I thought: why do I need to know this? I needed to save my life...

About his personal life, I only know that it is beautiful - from his own interview. Now he looks free and happy. Maybe at some stage he was burdened by our relationship, he wanted something new, unknown and could not afford it ...

Now we have an even relationship, as Andrei says, in the “father-mother” plane. And they do not provide for interest in each other's personal lives.

- And why, in five years of civil marriage, you never reached the registry office?

Andrei's first marriage was official, and he emphasized that he would never marry again in his life. Since I wanted to be with him, I accepted this condition. When I was pregnant, I wanted to get married officially. A woman in anticipation of a child turns into a vulnerable substance. Even the strongest women in the world have it...

But that was just my wish. Even when Andrei made attempts to somehow “renew” his feelings, I jokingly asked: “Then will you marry me?” He answered: “No, I will never marry again!”

Lida, I understand how difficult it is to talk about this, but how did you explain to your daughter that dad would no longer live with you?

At first she told Vasya that dad had left, he had a lot of work, outdoor shooting ... The most important thing, when the father leaves, and the daughter understands that he seems to be there, but he is not there, is to explain to her where he is, because he remains her beloved dad . I had to visit a child psychologist so that she would convince me that everything was fine with Vasya.

Now Vasya and Andrey see each other several times a month: I buy tickets to the theater and ask him to go with his daughter, or he just comes to us and they play at home for some time.

But fathers are different - they only need an hour to satisfy their fatherly needs and continue to go about their lives. Once every two weeks I can send Andrey a photo of Vasya. And he - sms that he will call with money the day after tomorrow. Or: “I’m abroad now, and what is Vasya’s clothing size?”

- Thanks to your tact and female wisdom, did you manage to maintain a good relationship with your husband?

I treat him well as the father of my only daughter. He gave me the best thing that every woman can have - a child.

Our personal relationship deteriorated, but we resolved the financial issue amicably: we talked about the amount that Andrei allocates for his daughter. He honestly pays, and I honestly spend money on the child. With this money, Vasya attends developmental and sports classes. And I make good money on my own.

My present is Vasyusha, me and my mother. Mom lives with us, because every morning I get up for work at four in the morning, and there are no night kindergartens in Kyiv where you can send a three-year-old child. And for several months now, we have been really well and comfortable. I have always supported myself, now I do too, and I feel like a self-sufficient person. I understand that this may not be for life, but for now it's just a pleasure for me. So parting for me was not the end of the world, but the beginning of a new life.

- Well, there is no doubt about it. One of the most successful TV presenters cannot be otherwise.

You know, I have so much work that I don't even have time to think about it. Now I am torn at once on two programs: “Snіdanok z“ 1 + 1 ”and“ About football show ”on the channel“ 2 + 2 ”. The management of the channel asked me to return to the topic, which I had not dealt with for a good five years after working on Channel 5. In "Snidanka" I conduct news and guest studios every hour.

Sometimes there are so many guests that it is not easy for Ruslan Senichkin (my co-host on the air) alone. And on Mondays I host the program “Pro Football Show”, which comes out late in the evening and ends late at night. It is designed for a narrow circle of people, mainly a male audience. All football stars attended. And on the last program, I sadly thought: if my father (an avid football fan) were alive, he would be happy to see me in this role.

- Do you manage to find time for rest in this mode?

This is difficult. It appears on Friday after the broadcast and ends on Sunday. These days I like to travel. True, few flights are suitable for one day. But sometimes you manage to get somewhere. In the summer, she flew alone to Europe for 6 days. She managed to discover and fall in love with the previously unknown Belgium - together with Brussels, Bruges and Ghent. In autumn, I decided to meet my “two triplets” in the Caucasus, in the mountains. Therefore, the editor of the program and I urgently flew to Tbilisi. As a result, they did not have time to reach the mountains themselves, but the birthday party in the Kakheti Valley, directly on the vineyard with an amazing view of the Caucasus mountain range, was a success.

- Vasilina, looking at her successful mother, does not aspire to the television world?

She is a self sufficient person. And at the age of three she clearly knows what she wants, she has her own list of priorities. But she is not infected with TV fever and can easily switch to cartoons when she sees me on TV in the morning. So far, given her young age, she simply cannot keep up the conversation, but I think she will soon begin to make serious comments on my work.

- What is lacking today for the complete happiness of a strong woman Lidia Taran?

A full 8-hour sleep! (Laughs) I have grandiose plans for the future: I want to change my wardrobe, improve my English, which is still lame compared to French. I also dream of going to courses or seminars in psychology.

The new peak that I took is my mother. I left my parents and became independent at the age of 17. And at the age of 33 she invited her mother to live with her. She pampers us with her daughter with original cuisine. Before, we could not even think that she could cook such a thing.

In general, every person needs turns in order to understand that life is much wider, and it does not narrow down to the state: "There is He and what is around Him." There is a lot of life without it. You can be truly happy with your mother and daughter. I will meet this New Year again at a ski resort, but I am going to do skiing, and not self-discipline. In general, I expect a completely different, high-quality year from the upcoming New Year.

The day she changed course

Once she decided that she would absolutely, easily, without any patronage, take it and enter the university at the Faculty of International Relations. The famous TV presenter Lydia Taran studied at a Kyiv school, famous for not going there. In other words, Lida studied at a slovenly school. Today she is happy that she regularly skipped classes. She sat at home or in the district library and read books avidly. Yes, yes, and it happens. The Kiev girl, whom adults did not control, since everything in their family was built solely on mutual respect and trust, was engaged in self-education.

She was confident in herself.. But it flew by. And on the last day, I began to feverishly find out which other faculty I could apply for. Names flashed before my eyes: chemical, physical, foreign languages, philological, historical ... Everything is not right. Boring. Not warm. The rest is journalism. And she chose what, in fact, she hated: the parents of the famous TV presenter Lydia Taran were well-known journalists in Kyiv. Or rather, my mother, Maria Gavrilovna, was published in a number of Komsomol publications, of which there were an incredible number in Soviet times. Father (unfortunately, he is no longer with us), in addition to journalism, wrote and translated. Throughout the apartment: on the table, on the sofa, on the floor, handwritten sheets, clippings from newspapers and magazines were piled up. Little Lydia fell asleep to the endless thud of the typewriter, which alternately chattered briskly, then froze for several minutes. But out of this hatred grew professional love and greed. “Daddy screamed so hard! “Don’t even dream that I will help you!” he yelled when he found out that his daughter had entered journalism. And despite the fact that he has a lot of friends at the faculty. My father was just a very principled man. Well, no big deal. In any case, I did not regret for a single day that I chose journalism. It was the only faculty where it was allowed to study at the hospital and work at the same time. Like many guys, in my first year I went to the radio, worked part-time at UNIAN, Interfax. Then - on FM radio stations. Soon got on television. Everything turned out somehow by itself, without unnecessary stress, failures, disappointments.

The day the excitement woke up

One day, Lydia moved from one building to another: in the building next to the radio station where she worked, they equipped a room for the New Channel. She asked who to contact about employment. Explained, invited for an interview, offered to work. Although Lydia admits: “I got into it easily, but then it was hard to grow in these structures.” For example, when she came to Novy Kanal at the age of 21, she suddenly announced to everyone: “I want to host sports programs. Everyone in our family is interested in sports. Here's the concept for you." They explained to her with a smile: “Girl, maybe for a start you still have some fun, do something simple, grow up?” The famous TV presenter Lydia Taran was lucky: she was not thrown into the water like a blind kitten: if you swim out, you will survive. She did not face any intrigues, or competition, or envy, or “teledovshchina”. "New Channel" then gathered within its walls a wonderful team of like-minded people. Obsessed people of different ages, sincerely willing and able to work. Everyone lived with a single idea - professional greed: to create something fundamentally new on Ukrainian television. Well-known TV journalist Andrei Kulikov has just returned from London. And the well-known TV presenter Lydia Taran (who was on TV for a week without a year) was immediately put on the air along with the TV boss.

“Just imagine who I am and who He is! And the two of us - on the morning broadcast. When I saw Andrei, I was speechless. His tongue was numb with excitement. But for a television man, the most important thing is the desire to learn. And I studied. For example, today a fledgling sophomore comes to television and immediately shakes his rights: “Are you offering me only $ 500 for such (!) Work ?!” Himself - no one and calling him - nothing, while already telling how much he is obliged to pay. Yes, at one time I was glad and happy that, it turns out, they also give me money for such a cool and interesting job! I would plow for free, if only they would not deprive me of the opportunity to participate in the process itself. By the way, Andrei Domansky, who then worked on the radio, had exactly the same state of euphoria and complete misunderstanding, for which he signs the statement every month and puts banknotes in his purse.

The day the revolution happened

One day, Lidina Kuma, the producer of the Rise program, called many guests to a housewarming party, including TV presenter Andrei Domansky (by that time he had left the radio station). They worked on the same TV channel, but practically did not intersect in the corridors. Lydia hosted the evening editions of the Sports Reporter, Andrey - the morning Rise. We saw each other at rare parties. At the housewarming party, they got to know each other better and parted ways. Domansky then left the "Rise". He explained that he had little, it turns out, therefore, he returned to his family in Odessa. And then there was a revolution in the country. In Odessa, Domansky hosted the Orange Square program - a kind of discussion club between ordinary citizens and politicians - and often called Lida as a "news" presenter for consultations. Then the two of them worked out a New Year's corporate party. Lida has gone on a winter vacation. And a day later I began to receive sms from Domansky - funny rhymes. So, something abstract, not binding to anything. “At that time I had a serious affair and a stormy personal life. The flooded sea received similar messages, both from Domansky and from other people. But Andrei Yuryevich already then thought that he was flirting with me like that. I thought I was just friends with him. By and large, it was so, because soon we parted with the beloved man, and Andryusha saved me from suffering, experiences. These were abstract conversations about how to properly build love relationships so that later they do not fall apart like a house of cards. But Andrey Yuryevich quickly cleared: it's time to join the game.

The day she gave up Domansky

Once he and Andrey found themselves in the same energy field: both had a difficult period of personal relationships. Lydia was going through a breakup, and Andrei could not improve relations in the family. They listened to each other and did not talk about themselves at all.

“For some reason, we always ended up in the same companies. Since we were already on a short leg, I sometimes wondered: “Andryusha, if you are already so“ suffocated in me ”, is it really not painful to listen to my mental lamentations? However, we did not have one-on-one dates for a long time. Andrey at that time was a family man, and the family is the parish that I never intended to get into. When I realized that he really took me seriously, I began ... to dissuade him from our meetings.

In a word, I continued to be friends with him, but he is no longer with me. Our relationship took a truly serious turn only when Andrei made a clear decision about his family. But this is exclusively Domansky's theme, not mine. I don't want to discuss it with anyone."

The day she tried on her wedding dress

Once, the famous TV presenter Lydia Taran played the role of the bride - as many as five times. Exactly so many photo shoots she had in wedding dresses. A picture of Lida's bride flaunts on her mother's table. But Lydia Taran and Andrey Domansky never got together at the registry office. Lida and Andrey have been together for six years. They have a two-year-old daughter Vasilina. At the same time, the guys live in a civil marriage and do not think of formalizing the relationship. Close friends, TV presenter Marichka Padalko and her civil husband, TV presenter Yegor Sobolev, strongly dissuade them from going to the registry office. This is because each of them at one time also had an unsuccessful marriage. In response to women's tricks: they say, the child should have an official dad - Lida just shrugs her shoulders in surprise: “So she has him. This is written on the birth certificate. And Vasilina's surname is Domanskaya. The seal in the passport has absolutely no effect on Andrey's father's debt - both to his older children and to the youngest. He knows this very well. In addition, we do not have extra funds to stupidly throw them away on some incomprehensible ceremony, which, by and large, is not needed by anyone. That money would be better spent on travel, which is what we're doing."

This beautiful, sought-after and extremely busy television couple solves all domestic issues easily. The problem of dirty dishes went away with the purchase of a dishwasher. Cleaning, like cooking, is the parishion of the beautiful aunt Lyuba, practically a member of their family. Aunt Lyuba is a participant in many television culinary projects. Prepares dishes that invited celebrities then pass off as their own. By the way, Lydia's mother Maria Gavrilovna and Vasilina spend the whole summer at Aunt Lyuba's dacha. While mom and dad are at work, the grandmother takes care of the daughter.

“All problems are solvable. The main thing is not to put them at the forefront. You can grumble: they say, what a bad wife I have, she doesn’t cook anything for me, - Lida smiles. - Yes, Lord, there are pizzerias, there is food delivery to the house. What is not a way out of the situation? Although, when there is time and desire, why not cook delicious yourself?

The day she danced for everyone

One day she left Channel 5. “After all, I had been invited to Pluses before, but together with the editor, we felt very comfortable at Novy. And then we got tired of some monotony and realized: it was time to move on. And they decided to move from a tiny shop to a larger shop. There are many more opportunities for self-realization here.”

The fact is obvious - at first, Lydia Taran led only one program - “Breakfast with“ 1 + 1 ”. Soon the show "I love Ukraine" was organized. After - the project "I dance for you-3". In it, Lydia Taran was one of the star participants.

“This is far from my initiative, and the hypostasis, as for me, is very strange. I didn't feel like I had potential. After all, she didn’t dance in her life - neither in circles, nor in amateur performances. Even at her own wedding with Domansky, the waltz did not spin in a whirlwind, since there was no wedding. At first I was firmly convinced that nothing would work. It was very hard - injured fingers, torn muscles, sprains, bruises. It's like professional sports - real work. In fact, it turned out that such activities completely transform a person. In the brain, some convolutions begin to work, which used to “sleep”. Everything is included in the work. Although dance is not the brain in the first place. It's soul and body."

Of course, Lida, like any person, criticism of their couple on the dance floor was unpleasant. But despite the tears, she, firstly, proved that she could take a hit, and secondly, as an experienced TV presenter, she was aware that she was taking part in the show. So, a lot here depends not on how you danced, but on how your number was furnished. By the way, Andrei Domansky was far from enthusiastic about his wife's idea to take part in this television project. He perfectly remembered how last year one of the participants in “Dancing for You” was Marichka Padalko, and how her child fell ill during the project. In addition, every man wants his wife to bring him at least a glass of tea in the evening, so that, in the end, she is under supervision, and does not disappear until 12 o'clock in the morning in the rehearsal room. Nevertheless, Lida took to the floor. Although in real life she is more likely to give in to a dispute with her husband: “Give in is much more comfortable than arguing with Andrey. And comfortable for both of us. And why do something contrary, if you can just meet each other halfway and get a real buzz from your own compliance, flexibility and non-conflict.

In an interview for the show Into the door with Masha Efrosinina(Ukraine channel) the TV presenter was as serious as ever. He shared his love story from life - why he and Lydia Taran the relationship didn't work out.

- When you decided to leave your first life, did you go against your mother?

Yes, definitely. She reacted very sharply, dad was painfully worried, her sister was against it.

?- Were they against leaving the family or against Lida?

It's all automatic. Andrei leaves the family, he has another woman, which means she is the reason. And it is she who is the factor that prevents Andrei from taking his head in his hands. So it seemed to the parents.

- Lida was very successful, and you were just starting. Who do you think was in charge? Linda is a very strong person.

I periodically encountered the fact that, being a leader by nature, I understood that they wanted to knock my saddle out from under me.

?- Did you have to step on your throat?

Sometimes yes. I liked the publicity. Like a child - who reaches for toys, bites everything, breaks.

- How was it at home? What was this relationship made of?

We lived for work. And it was very exciting. This was the main engine of relations. Ukrainian television - then it just gushed from all the cracks.

? - Your wife is the host of serious programs. Have you intervened, advised her something?

She came home, and we talked with her there, discussed everything. We gave each other support.

- You and Lida both earned a lot then. But you already supported, it turns out, two families.

Yes. But we had enough. We never had questions about why I financially help my first wife. Everything that remained, it took shape and we had a common budget.

?- And how did Lida communicate with your mother?

I didn’t communicate well, because initially there was a barrier. I saw that my mother was doing everything to ensure that no one felt it, but it hung in the air. Social protocol was respected, but no further.

? - But how is it? When two beloved women are not in a completely warm relationship?

And at that moment I didn’t bother with this issue. At that time, work always moved to the fore. And the main thing for me was that everything was good at work, so that I could financially help the children.

Do you regret that the relationship with Lida was so work-passionate-superficial that someone did not speak earlier. Maybe then they would have ended earlier and that shocking incident for me would not have happened when you broke up when you drove together from Kyiv to Italy by car. And in the car you realized that nothing binds you. I understood to such an extent that you, having brought her to a place of rest, turned around and made your way back. This is what should happen in the brains of a man who already has the experience of both a break and a road to nowhere?

I knew it wasn't fair. It is most unfair to stay around, at a time when I do not want it. So I turned around and left. Especially, you know, if we were alone. We went on holiday with friends. And at that moment I didn’t have the energy to put on a play that we were a happy couple.

?- It can't be that you figured it all out in the car...

On the eve of my departure Factory, and Lida had Dancing. These were two exhausting projects, both for her and for me. We completely went into our own project, and we didn’t talk about anything else at all. Then, at best, we crossed paths once a day. We emerged from this state before the trip and drove off. Hints that everything is not very good, they were already before the trip. And I was crushed very hard. We arrived and spent the night. The next morning I said that I had problems at work. Linda supported this version. Then, when I left, she said what was going on.

? - Lida, in turn, did not take a plane ticket, did not return for you, why?

She was very offended. It seems to me. But Lida continues to project, she changes her inner resentment.

? - For what offense?

She said the word "betrayal" several times. Even one of the channels filmed the program, and not just one, and Lida told very unpleasant things about me in an interview. The betrayal is that I left her then. The betrayal is that I put an end to our family, that she had plans for the future.

- She wanted to marry you? Did she give you an ultimatum?

Yes. We had a period when she asked me this question, and I did not know what to answer her. You know, if you are now looking for an answer to this question, then perhaps I had a very strong sense of guilt before Vasilina (the common daughter of Domansky and Taran - approx. website), my children in Odessa, and it seemed to me that this was a betrayal towards them. Yes, this is utter nonsense, but it was so.

- Did you tell Lida about it?

Millions of viewers adore this sweet and charming blonde, with whom the whole country “woke up” on the 1 + 1 channel in the Breakfast program. - one of the few girls on Ukrainian television who were able to "hold out" in the profession for many years and continue to be one of the most sought-after presenters. There is a very interesting fact in the biography of Taran: the girl was born in a family of journalists. Parents were constantly not at home, because of which Lida hated journalism from childhood, but after graduating from school she decided to continue the work of her parents!

Lida is a native of Kyiv, she was born in 1977. Since the parents did not devote much time to the child, Taran began to skip school. Unlike other children who wandered around the yards, Lydia spent her “free” time really: she sat for hours in the reading room of the library, located not far from home. After school, which, despite absenteeism, Taran graduated with good grades, she tried to enter the Faculty of International Relations, but failed the exams. The girl faced a difficult choice and thought for a long time where she could prove herself. Nothing but journalism came to mind. When the parents found out that their daughter followed in their footsteps, the father said that he would not help her, although he had many acquaintances at the institute.

Later, Lida admitted that her parents really never helped her, but she succeeded, unlike other classmates. During her studies, she worked on the radio, and then she was accepted to television, and this transition was completely unexpected. The Novy Kanal studio was located in the building next to the radio station. Taran asked a passing worker where she could find out about vacancies. So at the age of 21, Lida became an employee of a very famous channel. The girl had little choice, but she asked to be given the opportunity to work in sports news. The management then advised Lida to first gain experience.

However, quite by accident, Andrei Kulikov, one of the most famous TV journalists, returned to the capital, and Taran was paired with him! According to Lida, at that time she felt so happy that she was ready to work practically for free. And when Lida found out that I would pay decent money for the broadcast, she literally went crazy from such a dizzying takeoff. In 2009, Lida switched to the 1 + 1 channel, where she hosted such popular programs as Breakfast and I Love Ukraine. Later she became a member of the popular project “Dancing for You” and the owner of the prestigious Teletriumph award. It is very important for Taran to try herself in something new and interesting, so she does not consider herself a group of those presenters who have been working in only one direction for 10-20 years, for example, they lead a news block. Lida believes that she gets bored with routine very quickly.

After a dizzying career on television, an equally stormy and discussed romance followed. The presenters lived together for about five years, but never registered their relationship. In 2007, their daughter was born. Lida talked with Andrei for a long time when he was still married. Only after he broke up with his wife, Taran decided on a relationship. Unfortunately, Andrei did not turn out to be the “only one” who comes to life once and for all. Everyone frankly envied this couple and could not even imagine that Lida and Andrei would part. Lida was going through a breakup hard, but she found the strength to look at this situation from a different angle. Later, in an interview, the TV presenter said that she thanked fate for meeting Domansky and for giving her daughter Vasilina.

Taran is a big fan of skiing, and whenever possible tries to relax in Europe. The TV presenter believes that when you are given a vacation, you need to spend it like the last time. Taran never refuses anything to himself and does not go on diets. She is a big fan of beach holidays and chocolate tan. For many years, the presenter has been friends with her colleague Marichka Padalko. Marichka and her husband were Vasilina's godparents, and Lida herself is the godmother of Padalko's son.

Lida loves France and everything connected with this country. She has vacationed there several times, but due to the economic crisis, she is afraid that now she will not be able to travel as often as before. And recently, Taran said that she was not going to leave the country at all, even for a few days, and would not take a vacation until the situation in Ukraine returned to normal. Lida noted that now all residents of Ukraine follow the news every day, so she considers it her duty to stay on the air.

Now the daughter of Andrei and Lida is already seven years old, and Vasilina is growing up as a smart girl. The other day, she was interviewed and asked about her mother.

I recently read an interesting article about how human memory works. From very early childhood, only the brightest and most emotional moments are remembered. For example, I remember how, at the age of one and a half, I was running along the street of the town of Znamenka in the Kirovograd region, where my grandmother lived - I was running to meet my parents, who had come out of Kiev to visit me. I spent the summer with my grandmother. I also remember how my grandmother baptized me secretly from my parents, as many grandmothers did. In Kyiv, this topic was generally taboo, but in the villages, grandmothers quietly baptized their grandchildren.

There was no church in Znamenka, there were almost none left at that time, so my grandmother took me to the neighboring area on a country bus that was packed to the bone, and there, right in the priest’s hut, which also served as a church, the sacrament was performed. I remember this old hut, the sideboard, which also served as an iconostasis, a priest in a cassock; I remember how he gave me an aluminum cross. And I was only about two years old. But it was an unusual experience, and therefore preserved in the memory.

There are also inspired memories: when relatives constantly tell you what kind of child you were, it really seems to you that you yourself remember it. Mom often recalled how my brother Makar scared me very much, and from the best of intentions. Makar is three years older and has always taken care of me. Once he brought an apple from kindergarten and gave it to me, and I was still a toothless baby. My brother did not know that a small child cannot bite off an apple, so he put the whole apple into my mouth, and when my mother entered the room, I was already losing consciousness. Sometimes, when for some reason I feel short of breath, it seems to me that I really remember this moment, these sensations.

Now my brother teaches history at the Shevchenko University, organized a room there for studying Chinese, and at the same time created a department of American studies; he is my very advanced brother - a teacher and a researcher at the same time. On the set, young journalists, his former students, often come up to me and ask me to say hello to "beloved Makar Anatolyevich." Makar is so smart that he is fluent in Chinese, French and English, he has studied the entire world history - from ancient civilizations to the latest history of Latin America, he is on probation in Taiwan, China, and the USA! Moreover, all the opportunities for this - grants and travel programs - “knock out” for themselves. As they say, in the family there must be someone smart and someone beautiful, and I know for sure which of the two of us is smart. Although Makar is handsome too.

When I was little, I adored my brother and imitated him in everything. She spoke about herself in the masculine gender: “he went”, “he did”. And also - not of her own free will - wearing his things. In those days, few could afford to dress a child the way they wanted and how they liked. And if you have an older sister, then you will get her dresses, and if you have a brother, then your pants. And so mothers tried to sew and alter. Our mother often altered something old, inventing new styles.

I remember being driven home from the kindergarten on a sled through the creaky snow, I remember the snowflakes that swirl in the light of the lanterns. The sled was without a back, so we had to hold on with our hands so as not to fall out on a turn. Sometimes, on the contrary, I wanted to fall into a snowdrift, but in a fur coat I was so clumsy and heavy that I couldn’t even roll off the sled. A fur coat, trousers, felt boots... The kids then were like cabbage: a thick woolen sweater, knitted by no one knows who and when, thick trousers, felt boots; it is not clear who of the acquaintances gave away, turned a hundred times a zigey fur coat, over the collar - a scarf tied at the back so that adults could grab its ends like a leash; over the cap there was also a downy scarf, which was also tied around the throat. All Soviet children remember the feeling of winter suffocation from scarves and shawls. You go outside like a robot. But you immediately forget about the discomfort and enthusiastically go to dig snow, break icicles or stick your tongue to the frozen iron of the swing. A completely different world.

After all, your parents were creative people: your mother was a journalist, your father was a writer and screenwriter ... Probably, your life was still different from the lives of other Soviet children, at least a little?

Mom worked as a journalist in the Komsomol press. She often traveled on her reporter business, then wrote, and in the evenings retyped articles on a typewriter. There were two in the house - a huge "Ukraine" and a portable GDR "Erika", which in fact was also quite large.

My brother and I, going to bed, heard the chirping of a typewriter in the kitchen. If my mother was very tired, she asked us to dictate to her. Makar and I took a ruler to keep track of the lines, sat next to each other and dictated, but soon began to nod off. And my mother typed all night long - her articles, my father's scripts or translations.
