In an interview with HABER.ru, actress Elena Zakharova shared details about the upbringing she observed for her daughter Maya. The family has long emphasized the value of exposure to classical music and high art from an early age, a tradition she describes as enriching Maya’s daily life and imagination.
Zakharova explained that music accompanies family moments. The father often engages with Maya through dance, while she provides the accompaniment with instrumental selections. She recalls presenting pieces from Tchaikovsky, such as Swan Lake and Romeo and Juliet, to inspire movement and joy. When Maya was very young, simple demonstrations—music paired with rhythmic storytelling and gentle poetry readings—kept her engaged. Even as a small child, Maya showed a natural receptiveness to rhythm and sound, sometimes relaxing on a chair while listening to music or listening to verses before driftings off to sleep. The memory of those early experiences remains vivid for Zakharova, reflecting how art can shape a child’s mood and curiosity in a tender, lasting way.
On a separate note, an internationally significant cultural moment unfolded at the Bolshoi Theater on the Historic Stage. The VI BraVo Music Awards Ceremony drew attention from fans and professionals around the world. In the lead up to the event, a Gala dinner took place at the Quadrum restaurant, where notable figures gathered to celebrate the arts. Elena Zakharova, known for her role in the TV series Kadetstvo, attended the dinner. She chose a refined black off the shoulder dress for the evening, her hair styled in a neat bun, and her makeup featuring a bright pink lip that added a touch of color to the formal look.
In another note from the social calendar, Ksenia Borodina spoke about personal standards in relationships, stressing that dating someone who lacks gifts or talents would not be a suitable match. The comments reflect a broader conversation about values, companionship, and shared interests within contemporary public life.
