In Moscow, at Karo Oktyabr, the premiere of the comedy Mom is 17 Again took place (in cinemas from September 19), where the main roles were played by Svetlana Khodchenkova and Konstantin Kryukov. In the story, 17-year-old Olga jumps through time and wakes up as a 36-year-old school principal (Svetlana Khodchenkova) and mother of an 18-year-old son. The film was shot in a real school, and on the carpet, the guests of the event nostalgically recalled their school years. Igor Nikolaev’s wife, 42-year-old Yulia Proskuryakova, also came to see the comedy. True, I could not take my eight-year-old daughter Veronica with me because of the age limit of the film (13+), but she happily answered several questions. Recall that Veronica is Nikolaev’s youngest daughter from his third marriage with singer Yulia Proskuryakova. The 64-year-old singer-songwriter also has a daughter from his first marriage, Yulia, 45, who is a doctor and lives in the United States.
– Julia, do you remember your school days? Why did you love and dislike school?
– I loved her for my childhood, for my friends, classmates. She was friendly and cool. We were all young and beautiful.
– Now many parents whose children went to first and second grade are shuddering at the thought of having to remember it all. How are you?
– And me too! I remember math, algebra, geometry. And I think with horror that this will happen again, that I will have to go through all this again. Well, naturally, I do homework with my daughter.
– Does Veronica like to study?
– Well, who likes to study? In fact, the Russian language, mathematics… everything is easy for them now. But, by the way, I recently caught myself thinking that I am doing quite well in maths in my head. Thanks to Soviet education, because modern children already know what a calculator is. I am teaching my daughter to count mentally. But I am also proud of myself.

– Is Dad participating?
– Dad doesn’t have enough patience to help with homework. He gives me the reins because I’m a calmer person. I don’t get emotional. I can explain everything a hundred times.
– Is your daughter more creative?
– She likes everything. But creative. She draws beautifully, sings well and plays the piano.
– What school do you go to?
– In addition to school at the conservatory, we also study at a regular school. We are doing well so far, the year is just beginning. In fact, he goes to general education with more enthusiasm than to music school. But we keep our finger on the pulse.
