The interview on Teleweek features comedian Maria Kravchenko describing a sudden break that turned into a cure for exhaustion and burnout.
She explains that the trip was only intended to be a week long, yet it arrived at exactly the right moment. Prior to the vacation, Kravchenko had been working almost every day for six months, with only one or two days off per month. The relentless schedule had taken its toll, leaving her longing for a pause and a chance to reset.
As the holiday approached in late January, she asked her colleague Tatyana Morozova to cover for her while she took time off. Kravchenko finished her final show before the trip and headed to the airport with a gaze that carried a burning intensity. She admitted that she was not deterred by the travel delay or a malfunctioning board; nothing could dampen her resolve to get away and recharge.
“I didn’t care about anything. Let’s fly! If we crash, so be it—that’s fate,” she recalled with a mix of humor and resilience. The impulse to leave, to step away from the stage and the pressures of touring, became a pivotal moment of renewal rather than a reckless escape.
In related remarks, Ruzil Minekaev had previously discussed relationships with Burunov and Yankovsky on the set of the project titled “The Boy’s Word.” This comment adds a layer of context to the collaborative environment Kravchenko experiences in the industry and hints at the broader dynamics that influence a performer’s career during demanding schedules. The conversation underscores how personal well‑being and professional relationships intersect in high‑intensity show business settings, where pauses for rest can be essential for sustaining long‑term creativity and performance quality.
