In a recent interview with Ura.ru, singer Klava Koka reflected on what she called Fate’s self‑irony as she takes on the role inspired by Lyudmila Gurchenko for a new project.
In the upcoming New Year’s comedy on TNT, audiences will see a blend of scenes drawn from beloved Soviet classics, TV shows, and music videos. Koka admits she has revisited Carnival Night many times, acknowledging it as a legendary touchstone. Her portrayal aims to evoke the nostalgia of that iconic film while introducing the charm to younger viewers who may be encountering it for the first time. The project carries a clear mission: to remind fans of the movie and to share its warmth with a new generation, even as the performers pay homage to Gurchenko’s enduring influence (citation: Ura.ru).
Regarding the famous song Five Minutes, Koka explained that Gurchenko herself would not perform the track as a constant fixture in every appearance. The artist believes the number carries special weight when tied to New Year celebrations; playing it too often could dull its magic and appeal. This thoughtful approach helps preserve the song’s festive impact for audiences each season (citation: Ura.ru).
Throughout the discussion, the comparison to Gurchenko’s legacy and the playful idea of fate guiding an evolving artistic voice underscores how this collaboration seeks to bridge generations. The production team wants to honor the past while inviting contemporary viewers to experience the same sense of wonder that Soviet New Year cinema once sparked. The result is a contemporary homage that looks both backward and forward, honoring a cinema icon while charting new creative territory (citation: Ura.ru).
