“This is not the first time I have encountered Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, I participated in the musical 20 years ago, played the role of the Devil. I’ll tell you a little secret: the first proposal from Tanya was regarding the Devil, and I immediately said “yes.” And then suddenly I remembered the promise I made to myself. I’m not exactly a superstitious person, but I do believe in some things. I started having very serious problems in my personal life when I played this Devil. I went to see my father, he told me, listen, you are so bright, stay away from devilry and everything will be fine. And so I promised myself that I, an Orthodox Russian person, would never once more get involved with demonism. And he followed the commandment. But in a hurry he forgot and agreed. Then he asked: Tanya, I beg your pardon, can I have any other role, even an episode, but not Damn? Fortunately, she heard me,” the musician shared.
