The third hero of the photo project is Anton Ravitsky (TV host) and Ruslan (a graduate of the Centre, who is 14 years old and who dreams of becoming a famous TV presenter):
“I was born in the third generation of a large family of directors and actors. That’s why, I spent my childhood behind the scenes where I saw plenty of creative life. It’s hard to say what my parents felt — relief or horror — when I said that I would not do anything connected with the theater. They wisely supported my choice. I received an education as a political scientist who was not needed anywhere. Who I was not! Methodist, costume designer, teacher, procurement manager, video operator, security officer, producer – and this is far from full a list of my professions. Parents have already accepted that I’d rather go roaming with deer than stop at one thing. And even when I’ve been in journalism for 10 years, mom assumes that this is not the end and surprises lie ahead. I am grateful that they gave me the opportunity to try and decide on what I really want to tie my life to, so that I didn’t go through such an interesting way and meet amazing people. I am grateful to my parents for such a childhood. “- says Anton Ravitsky.
Each of our heroes has a family that influenced their way of life, and the kids from the Centre “City of Happy Children” have only you and me, so let’s not leave them alone with their challenges of life.
