Larisa Kopenkina

But this year she was persuaded to change her habits. " I was persuaded to celebrate the New Year in the mountains. After all, I've never been there. But recently I had a fight with this person and changed my mind. So for now I can’t say where I’ll be celebrating New Year’s Eve, but I’m going to Miami in early January. You know, when the chimes strike, I like to make a lot of wishes. And they always come true. Even the most incredible ones! So dream more,” Sobesednik quotes Kopenkina.
Tatyana Kotova
Former member of the sexy trio "VIA Gra", popular performer Tatyana Kotova is going to work on New Year's Eve. However, he will spend January 1st with his family. "From childhood, my parents taught my sister and me that New Year is a family holiday, a reason to gather around the big table and say words of love and gratitude to each other.

Yulia Volkova
Former member of the Tatu group, singer Yulia Volkova has not yet decided how she will celebrate the New Year. But the artist admitted that she prefers to spend this holiday with her family.

A little later I will make a decision about celebrating the New Year. If possible, I try to celebrate the New Year in family circle. This gives me enormous pleasure. Be sure to decorate the house and the Christmas tree with the whole family!"
Natalya Krachkovskaya
This year has been difficult for the 77-year-old artist: she was admitted to intensive care with pulmonary edema. Doctors literally pulled the legendary artist from the other world. Now Krachkovskaya has many plans. In particular, for the New Year. On December 31, the artist will play on stage. “I’m playing the main role at the Taganka Theater in the comedy production of Alexander Vasyutinsky’s “Bride for a Banker”. For the New Year, a friend from Volgograd will come to me with her daughter, we will celebrate at my home. My grandson, son and daughter-in-law will celebrate at our dacha There is a dog there, she cannot be left unattended for a long time. As always, I will set the table, I will definitely prepare my favorite jellied meat, I myself make excellent boiled pork, jellied fish or marinated fish - I haven’t decided yet. I’m not particularly worried about gifts for family and friends, I usually give an envelope with money, and let them buy themselves what they need, I think it will be more correct,” Krachkovskaya is quoted as saying by Sobesednik.
Basta
Popular rap artist and one of the mentors of the next season of the show “The Voice” Basta is going to celebrate the New Year at the dacha, despite the fact that for the opportunity to dance to the song “Zhora, where have you been?” people are willing to pay a lot.

There, Vasily will put on a sheepskin coat, attach a beard, take a bag of gifts, and children's delight will begin, Tatler competently reports.
Oksana Fedorova
When TV presenter Oksana Fedorova did not have children, she admitted that she did not even notice the New Year, immersed in the hustle and bustle of work. Only with the appearance of Fyodor and Elizabeth did this holiday again turn into a fairy tale for Oksana. Fedorova spends the New Year at home and prepares for it very carefully. “First we decorate the Christmas tree, decorate the house with garlands. And at the appointed hour, Santa Claus will knock on the door. Usually this is one of our friends who knows Fedya and Lisa well. Grandfather asks the children riddles, asks how they behaved. For good actions Fedya and Lisa receive gifts. And then they shout: “Christmas tree, light up!” And Santa Claus lights the garlands. At this moment I rejoice no less than the children, because again, as in childhood, I begin to believe in miracles,” Fedorova is quoted as saying
The artists kindly shared with the public their plans for the main holiday night.
The popular singer and mentor of the show “The Voice” Dima Bilan, although he was seriously ill recently, still decided to work on the most profitable night of the year. Yana Rudkovskaya’s ward understands that he can’t earn all the money, but he will at least try.
According to media reports, Dima will not only perform at several concert venues, but will also try on the outfit of Santa Claus for a charity project. And only after work the performer plans to celebrate New Year 2017 with friends.
His colleague Stas Mikhailov is just as workaholic as Bilan. The women's favorite knows very well that the New Year is a goldmine for the artist. The singer plans to combine business with pleasure - to celebrate the holiday where he will perform. And with the family - later.
Popular singer Tatyana Bulanova also intends to sing for the people on the holiday. “On December 31, I work, but I hope that when the chimes start striking midnight, I will be with my family,” the artist admitted, but did not specify whether her husband Vladislav Radimov, with whom she recently divorced, will be next to her.
The star of the show “The Voice” Niko Neman can only dream of rest. He will work on December 31st. “This New Year I will be away from my family. I’ll mention it here, in Moscow, at the Leps Bar, at work. We will perform on a festive night,” said Grigory Leps’ ward. – And after the New Year I will go to my family and give gifts to my wife, mother, and father. My father's birthday is January 1st. Son Ilya is still small. Maybe I’ll bring him some clothes. He doesn't really respond to toys yet. He distinguishes bright tones and colors, he is delighted with them. I’ll give my wife some jewelry, probably a beautiful one.”
Singer Katya Lel hopes to do everything: celebrate with her family and earn money. It has been operating according to the same scheme for several years now. “I sit down at festive table with my family at home, and then I go to my favorite job. That is, for New Year’s corporate parties,” said the performer.
It is noteworthy that some celebrities decided to give up work this year. For example, Philip Kirkorov considered that it was not appropriate for the king of pop to leave his fortress on a festive night. “On December 31st I plan to be with the children. I don’t want to leave them alone on New Year’s Day. And then we’ll fly away to rest, but I won’t say where,” the performer intrigued.
Philip's great friend, artist Danila Kozlovsky, has not yet completely decided on his plans for the New Year. “I spend it with friends, relatives, with my girlfriend, with my family,” the actor of the acclaimed film “Viking” listed. - There’s no time for that now. As always it turns out: “Oh, New Year? Then, then... “The 31st comes, and your salads haven’t been cut, so it’s still unclear...” 
The sex symbol of the national stage Vera Brezhneva will celebrate the New Year 2017 at home with her family. This is a long-standing tradition that the artist does not want to break, no matter what money she is offered for the corporate event. “Let's all get together: my daughters, my mother... All the girls sit down and cut the ingredients for various salads. I mix it all, season it. And then we eat it all while listening to songs on TV and toasts,” said the ex-soloist of VIA Gra. 
The Makarsky couple abandoned gold-bearing New Year's concerts with the advent of their children - daughter Masha and son Vanya. “We spend the holiday together, not agreeing to corporate parties and performances,” Victoria noted. 
Popular Ukrainian diva Ani Lorak also does not plan to work on the main night of the year. She will celebrate 2017 in a family circle with her daughter Sofia and husband Murat.
Polina Gagarina, who is rumored to be pregnant, is also going to be close to her family. The singer will celebrate the New Year with her husband Dmitry Iskhakov and son Andrei in new apartment, which the couple bought two years ago and did lengthy renovations there.

Participant in the long-running project “Dom-2” and the show “ Wedding size» Daria Pynzar reported that at Ksenia Borodina’s house on December 31 a feast is planned for the whole world. This is where she plans to be with her friends and family. You can probably see Olga Buzova there too, who admitted the day before that she had not yet decided where she would celebrate.
Alla Pugacheva and her husband Maxim Galkin will have a luxurious New Year in Gryazi. The couple decided not to leave their castle in the village and gather family, friends and several dozen pop stars at the festive table. 
One of the few who decided to celebrate January 1 not in their homeland was Nikolai Baskov. The singer will celebrate the New Year in the USA, where he will be generously paid for his performance. However, before departure, the “natural blond” will certainly visit his parents and congratulate them.
Advanced spouses Yulia Kovalchuk and Alexey Chumakov also decided to run away from the snow. They will celebrate the New Year in Spain. The artists are not even going to set the festive table, so they decided to do without salads and TV. “We will walk, dance, celebrate the holiday on the street with friends. This will be the first such experiment, I hope it will be successful and will leave only positive emotions,” Kovalchuk was dumbfounded. 
Leaves Russia and Olympic champion synchronized swimming Anzhelika Timanina. “I’ll go to Bali for the New Year, live there for several months, and conquer new heights on a surfboard,” the athlete shared her plans.
Singer Jasmine will celebrate New Year 2017 with her family. “Until a few years ago, I always worked on holidays, but now I can afford to celebrate at home with my family,” the artist sighed with relief. 
The pride of the national stage, Sofia Rotaru, also does not plan to work on December 31. “Lately for me it’s a family holiday. I work a lot the day before, take part in filming and various concerts, and spend December 31 with my family and friends,” said the performer. This year she will be at home with her children and grandchildren.
TV presenter Yulia Baranovskaya is literally fascinated by New Year's Moscow, so she will celebrate December 31 here at home. Definitely with sandwiches with red caviar and Olivier on the festive table. 
Actor, TV presenter, showman and producer Alexander Tsekalo will celebrate the New Year in his country house with family and friends. It is noteworthy that he himself prepares the Olivier salad according to his grandmother’s recipe.
This will be a special New Year for Alexander Gordon. The TV presenter and his family moved to a new mansion near Moscow, where they will celebrate the holiday. A live Christmas tree was planted there especially for the holiday.
Ex-soloist of “Brilliant” Olga Orlova plans to celebrate the arrival of the New Year 2017 with family and friends. “For many years at 00:01 I was already singing songs on stage, entertaining the audience, but at some point I changed my priorities and made a choice in favor of my family,” the artist admitted.
Actress Alisa Grebenshchikova will have fun at her dacha in the Moscow region on December 31. She used to work on holidays, but with the birth of her son, everything changed in her life. Now she enjoys family gatherings with her relatives.
Dmitry Kharatyan will celebrate the year of the fiery rooster with his family: children, parents, grandparents. According to the actor, he and his family watch TV shows, remember the past, make wishes and make plans for the future. At three or four o'clock they go to bed.
Sexy TV presenter Anfisa Chekhova will have an unusual New Year. She will celebrate separately from her husband. On December 31, she will be left alone in Moscow without Guram Bablishvili. The star's husband went to Georgia to celebrate the New Year with his dad. Chekhov will invite his girlfriends over. “My husband and I always give each other freedom. The key to a happy marriage is definitely not spending New Year’s Eve together,” Anfisa is sure. 
The star of the 90s, Yuri Shatunov, has long started a tradition: he does not work on New Year’s Day. “Children want to see their parents together. Most of the time I am on the road, on tour, and miss almost all family holidays. Therefore, at least once a year I must be with my family,” Shatunov explained his decision to be at home from December 31 to January 1.
The biggest original in terms of celebrating the New Year was Evgeniy Osin. He hasn't celebrated this day for many years. The artist considers Christmas the main holiday of Orthodox Christians. And the singer considers champagne, Olivier and dancing around a decorated Christmas tree during Lent to be something wrong. The performer advises you to follow his example and just go to bed on New Year's Eve.
P.S. Dear friends! Happy New Year 2017!
I wish you good health, family well-being and good luck in the coming year.
Thank you for being with me! Be happy!

How will the “stars” celebrate the New Year? We learned everything first-hand - celebrities shared their plans and craziest stories with Cleo readers.
How will you spend New Year's Eve?
Almost all celebrities surveyed want to be with their family at home.
He’s not going anywhere because he’s expecting his son and his five grandchildren to visit.
Sighs heavily: “My husband and I will be at the event in Ukraine, maybe we’ll even take our son with us.” I would like to spend the holiday at home.
Popular music presenter Timur Solovyov He turned out to be a terrible workaholic: he says that he will be upset if there is no work for him on New Year’s Eve. The fact is that he was going to Thailand for vacation, and, as you know, they don’t let you in for free.
Singer Yulia Kovalchuk I’m tormented by doubts: New Year’s Eve at work is beneficial, but at home it’s pleasant. But she knows for sure what she will do on December 31: “Before the New Year, I will go to the salon and get a pedicure and manicure. I am always very sensitive to beauty; it seems to me that for a woman everything should be thought out to the smallest detail.”
And here actor Maxim Loktionov in such an extremely important matter as celebrating the New Year, he relies on “maybe”, which has never let him down: “When I make plans on how to celebrate the New Year, no matter where or with whom, it doesn’t work out well. When you accidentally find yourself in good company, you have a great celebration.”
Tell us about a corporate event that you remember.
When cooperatives ended in Russia, corporate parties began. Companies grew, became smarter, and it was already somehow awkward to treat employees to a tape recorder and home-grown competitions. “Stars” began to be invited for cultural recreation.
With bated breath, he recalls one of his first “corporate events,” which took place in the early 90s: “I will remember him for a long time! It was such a gathering of brothers, where there were only men. They didn’t even warn us where, what, how much... It was some kind of boarding house outside the city. When I arrived there, I was shocked by the audience in this hall. But, nevertheless, everything went fine. I was not the only artist, there were others, and only women. We felt somehow uneasy, but where to go? Still, the dashing 90s.” Then things went smoother, the brothers evolved into top managers or died out. And the newly-minted “tops” cared about the work collectives entrusted to them.
The price of real surprise and ardent people's love was fully experienced by, who just recently returned from a corporate event in Almaty. “At the moment when I announced the end of the celebration,” recalls Igor Vernik, “one of the women shouted: “No” and rushed towards me. I joked that I was especially pleased that women didn’t want to break up with me. And the minute I said this, this woman made some kind of wild leap over the guards, the stage and grabbed me. To somehow stop her, the guards grabbed her legs, but she continued to hold me by the jacket, that is, she was literally hanging in the air. When she was finally torn away from me, blood was running down my arm. I'm sure she had the best intentions, she just had too much cocktails."
Did Santa Claus come to you as a child?
By the age of seven, almost all children have lost faith in the existence of Santa Claus. Through experience, they find out who he is to them according to genealogy. Most often by the father. Less often a neighbor.
That's how it was with Oscar Kucera: “I remember I was so disappointed when I found out that Father Frost is not actually Father Frost, but Alexander Borisovich Belyavsky, this is our neighbor-actor who came to us in the image of Father Frost.”
Singer Sergey Lazarev turned out to be more far-sighted... and in general, as a child, he did not believe in Santa Claus: “I always had a suspicion that there was none. So there was no disorder.” However, “the whole truth about Santa Claus” does not take away from kids the joy of jumping like a bunny or a snowflake at a New Year’s party.
She admits that she hated going to the garden, but she loved matinees: “I was always in the first row. I was both a Bunny and a Snowflake. And at school once I was even the Snow Maiden, it was such an honor. Can you imagine, I’m the Snow Maiden for the whole school?”
