Singer Dmitry Koldun has shared a story that links his family history to the artist Anita Tsoi, describing a bond that feels almost like kinship. The details came to light during a discussion with mk.ru, where the performer opened up about these connections and the path they have trodden together in the public eye.
He revealed that his mother and Anita’s uncle were longtime partners, a relationship that created a bridge between their families. In his words, the connection has grown so close that it could be described as nearly official relatives, a sentiment that adds a warm, human layer to the artists’ public personas. The confession underscored a shared past that extends beyond music, hinting at dinners, celebrations, and childhood stories that have quietly shaped both lives.
Beyond family ties, Koldun also shared his plans for the Wizarding New Year, emphasizing a quiet, intimate celebration with his closest circle: his family. The vision centers on a home filled with warmth, memory, and tradition, rather than grandiose spectacles. The singer spoke of a large family table spread with familiar staples, honoring time-tested recipes that bind generations together.
On the menu, Olivier salad takes pride of place alongside other dishes that hold sentimental value. Perhaps most iconic is the family meat pie, a recipe handed down from the grandmother and now in the hands of his wife as she carries on the culinary ritual. The anticipation of tasting that familiar crust and savory filling adds a personal touch to the holiday, turning it into a moment of shared history rather than a mere feast.
Regarding past New Year celebrations, Koldun recalled a moment that stands out as especially memorable: the year he managed to celebrate twice within a single cycle of time. He described traveling to a region in Siberia where New Year had already arrived, only to return to a different time zone and greet the holiday anew. The anecdote captures a playful, almost magical sense of timing that mirrors the broader enchantment many feel during the holiday season.
In discussing his performance calendar, the artist noted a preference for pre-holiday concerts. He believes that these performances create a unique mood for both the audience and the performers, a kind of anticipatory energy that heightens the sense of connection as the year draws to a close. The music becomes a bridge, a shared moment before the calendar flips and a new chapter begins.
Koldun spoke about the broader magic of the season, describing it as a time of miracles and fresh possibilities. He emphasized that the holiday has a unifying quality, a force that brings people together regardless of birthplace, location, habits, lifestyle, or beliefs. The sentiment echoes a universal appeal of New Year celebrations: a chance to start anew with a sense of communal hope and wonder.
Earlier this year, Valeria spoke about gifts for loved ones during the New Year, a reminder that celebrations are as much about giving as about gathering. The exchange of thoughtful presents complements the shared meals, stories, and music that define the season, weaving a tapestry of personal connections that endure beyond the holiday itself.
