An excerpt characterizing Carla's Dreams
“Because I know it won’t end.”- Why do you know? No, mom, you don't tell him. What nonsense! - Natasha said in the tone of a person from whom they want to take away his property.
- Well, I won’t get married, so let him go, if he’s having fun and I’m having fun. Natasha looked at her mother smiling.
“Not married, but like this,” she repeated.
- How is it, my friend?
- Yes, it is. Well, it’s very necessary that I won’t get married, but ... so.
“So, so,” repeated the countess, and, shaking with her whole body, she laughed a kind, unexpected old woman’s laugh.
- Stop laughing, stop it, - Natasha shouted, - you are shaking the whole bed. You look terribly like me, the same laughter ... Wait a minute ... - She grabbed both hands of the countess, kissed the bone of the little finger on one - June, and continued to kiss July, August on the other hand. - Mom, is he very in love? How about your eyes? Were you so in love? And very nice, very, very nice! Only not quite to my taste - it is narrow, like a dining room clock ... Don't you understand? ... Narrow, you know, gray, light ...
– What are you lying about! said the Countess.
Natasha continued:
- Do you really not understand? Nikolenka would understand... Earless - that blue, dark blue with red, and it is quadrangular.
“You flirt with him, too,” said the countess, laughing.
“No, he is a Freemason, I found out. He is nice, dark blue with red, how do you explain ...
“Countess,” came the voice of the count from behind the door. - Are you awake? - Natasha jumped up barefoot, grabbed her shoes in her hands and ran into her room.
She couldn't sleep for a long time. She kept thinking about the fact that no one can understand everything that she understands and what is in her.
"Sonya?" she thought, looking at the sleeping, curled-up kitty with her huge braid. “No, where is she! She is virtuous. She fell in love with Nikolenka and doesn't want to know anything else. Mom doesn't understand. It's amazing how smart I am and how ... she's sweet," she continued, speaking to herself in the third person and imagining that some very smart, smartest and best man was talking about her ... "Everything, everything is in her , - continued this man, - she is unusually smart, sweet and then good, unusually good, dexterous - she swims, she rides excellently, and her voice! You can say, an amazing voice! She sang her favorite musical phrase from the Kherubinievskaya opera, threw herself on the bed, laughed at the joyful thought that she was about to fall asleep, shouted to Dunyasha to put out the candle, and before Dunyasha had time to leave the room, she had already passed into another, even happier world of dreams. , where everything was just as easy and beautiful as in reality, but it was only better because it was different.
The next day, the countess, having invited Boris to her place, had a talk with him, and from that day he stopped visiting the Rostovs.
On the 31st of December, on the eve of the new year 1810, le reveillon [night dinner], there was a ball at the Catherine's nobleman. The ball was supposed to be the diplomatic corps and the sovereign.
On the Promenade des Anglais, the famous house of a nobleman shone with countless lights of illumination. At the illuminated entrance with red cloth stood the police, and not only the gendarmes, but the police chief at the entrance and dozens of police officers. The carriages drove off, and new ones kept coming up with red footmen and with footmen in feathers on their hats. Men in uniforms, stars and ribbons came out of the carriages; ladies in satin and ermine carefully descended the noisily laid steps, and hurriedly and soundlessly passed along the cloth of the entrance.
Almost every time a new carriage drove up, a whisper ran through the crowd and hats were taken off.
- Sovereign? ... No, minister ... prince ... envoy ... Can't you see the feathers? ... - said from the crowd. One of the crowd, dressed better than the others, seemed to know everyone, and called by name the noblest nobles of that time.
One-third of the guests had already arrived at this ball, and the Rostovs, who were supposed to be at this ball, were still hastily preparing to dress.
There were many rumors and preparations for this ball in the Rostov family, many fears that the invitation would not be received, the dress would not be ready, and everything would not work out as it should.
Together with the Rostovs, Marya Ignatievna Peronskaya, a friend and relative of the countess, a thin and yellow maid of honor of the old court, who led the provincial Rostovs in the highest St. Petersburg society, went to the ball.
At 10 pm, the Rostovs were supposed to call for the maid of honor to the Tauride Garden; and meanwhile it was already five minutes to ten, and the young ladies were still not dressed.
Natasha was going to the first big ball in her life. She got up that day at 8 o'clock in the morning and was in feverish anxiety and activity all day long. All her strength, from the very morning, was focused on ensuring that they all: she, mother, Sonya were dressed in the best possible way. Sonya and the countess vouched for her completely. The countess was supposed to be wearing a masaka velvet dress, they were wearing two white smoky dresses on pink, silk covers with roses in the corsage. The hair had to be combed a la grecque [Greek].
The hit of the Moldovan group Carla's Dreams Sub Pielea Mea - Eroina, which conquered the world charts, won the hearts of Russian listeners as well. Only the lazy did not sing Romanian this summer " Op eroina. Op-op eroina. "Uh the pathage project completely hides the identities of its participants with the help of thick camouflage makeup that does not allow you to see facial features and facial expressions, as well as dark glasses and hoods on their heads. All participants introduce themselves in the same way, changing one common name in each host country.
During the four years of the existence of Carla's Dreams, not a single journalist has been able to reveal the identity of the soloist. In his interviews, he repeatedly confirmed that the level of secrecy on the project is very high. On tour, musicians always rent several different hotels, confusing the trail of fans with cameras. Brand makeup is applied independently in rooms or rented apartments, refusing the services of professional makeup artists to avoid the slightest possibility of information leakage.
Last week, the group decided to make themselves known in the Russian arena, arranging a press tour of Moscow. During this time, the soloist of the secret project managed to give dozens of interviews to metropolitan radio stations, TV channels and Internet portals, in each of which the journalists tried to find out at least something about the mysterious Russian-speaking guy. However, no attempt to deducethe soloist of the group on clean water was not crowned with success.
In Moscow, the team members chose apartments in two different hotels located on neighboring streets. The soloist of the group lived separately from his musicians in a luxury five-star hotel room, booked in the name of one of the band's managers.
Coming to the Moscow radio stations and TV channels at the pass office, the lead singer of Carla's Dreams introduced himself as the name of one of the project participants - Pietro Katolin. At the request of the security staff to provide an identity document, the artist, apologetically, shrugged his hands and went into the studio on the air. If the publication or the TV channel was not satisfied with the increased secrecy of the Russian-speaking masked guy, the group manager suggested recording an interview on neutral territory.Having washed off the paint from his face, the celebrity did not appear in public surrounded by his musicians, who, unlike him, do not always put on makeup.The Moldavian star avoided even the company his own manager, whom the fans began to recognize: the men left the hotel in turn, meeting later in a conventional place.
Despite such a carefully thought-out conspiracy, Life managed to declassify the identity of the lead singer of Carla's Dreams. He turned out to be 31-year-old Andrei Tsarush (Andrei Tarus) - a former member of the once sensational Moldovan group In Quadro. The version that the lead singer of Carla's Dreams is the same Andrei Tsarush, along with many other versions, appeared earlier in the Moldovan press. Journalists even managed to ask the musician this question on the forehead, but the singer said that he had nothing to do with the mysterious project . In an interview with Life, the lead singer of Carla's Dreams also stated that he was not part of the In Quadro team. And the former members of the Moldovan group In Quadro, in a conversation with Life, only confirmed: the group broke up, Tserush moved to America, no one maintains contact with him. 
The student boy band In Quadro, popular ten years ago, was formed by 19-year-old Andrei Tsarush. The group did not last long. The fame, money and attention of thousands of lustful fans turned the heads of the guys so much that, having conquered their native country, they wanted world recognition. However, the miracle did not happen: as soon as they started recording their debut album, the team broke up. While working on the record, the recording studio burned down, and the guys had to return to their studies. Putting their singing career on the back burner, they graduated from the university and forgot about the stellar student years. Only Andrei Tserush could not come to terms with the sudden end of the artist's career. In 2012, Tsarush resumed work in show business, forming a mysterious project that completely hides the faces of the participants.
In a conversation with Life, a specialist in deciphering facial features, comparing the face of a masked man with the face of Andrei Tsarush, said that there was no doubt that this was the same person.
The shape of the face is exactly the same. The distance between the mouth and nose is identical. Mouth size, lip shape. The same distance that the nose protrudes. Fa-ling lines go from the nose, judging by Chinese physiognomy, they are equally pronounced in him. The nostrils are outlined, the cheekbones are also the same. They even speak the same way. It's one hundred percent the same person! There is no doubt! - said the physiognomist Svetlana Filatova to Life.
In addition to the soloist Carla's Dreams, Life reveals the identities of the musicians who arrived in the capital with Andrei. It is noteworthy that, according to Tserush, the project has more than two dozen participants, and a different number of impersonal musicians always appear on the stage. 
Emanuel Masson
Guitarist for Carla's Dreams. On his Facebook page, the young man indicates that he works with the singer Inna. 
Octav Capota
Musician of the Carla's Dreams project. On his pages on social networks, a young man hides his place of work. His microblog is full of family photos with his wife Emanuela and their young son. 
Catalin Andrei Petre
Drummer for Carla's Dreams. The only musician of the group who does not hide his involvement in a secret project in his account. However, the information is available only to 150 subscribers of the artist. 
The news that Life has declassified the identity of the performer of the hit Sub Pielea - Eroina, hiding under a thick layer of makeup, caused a great resonance on the Web. So that our readers have no doubts about the authenticity of the published material, we decided to let you in on the nuances of the investigation.
On August 29, a message was sent to the LifeCorr application with surnames and first names. An anonymous user claimed that in a few days four men would fly to Moscow: Catalin Andrei Petre, Octav Capota, Josef Cherian and Emanuel Masson, three of whom are musicians of the Moldovan project Carla's Dreams, which has been hiding the names and faces of its participants for more than four years.
Engaged in a puzzle game, we found out which hotel the musicians were planning to stay at and filmed them during check-in. For the first time, the faces of artists without makeup got into the lenses of the paparazzi. After analyzing the profiles of the young people whose names were sent to us in social networks and finding a striking resemblance to the men filmed in the hotel, we were convinced that the young people were really participants in the outrageous project. However, it was still not possible to understand which of them was the owner of sexual hoarseness. Understanding with what responsibility the team approaches conspiracy, we decided that the main member of the group could have stayed in a completely different hotel. Later, our assumptions found ground.
As part of the Carla's Dreams press tour, the soloist of the band visited our editorial office for an interview planned long before his arrival. The artist was warned that the holding had a pass system that required an identity card. However, on day X, the musician, as usual, appeared in makeup and introduced himself at the pass office as another member of the group - Petre Catalin (Catalin Andrei Petre).At the request of security officers to confirm their identity with a document, the celebrity silently spread her hands and went into the studio, explaining that she could not declassify personal data even to security officers.
In the meantime, through the LifeCorr application, the data of a citizen of Moldova who arrived in Moscow on the same day as the project participants, but in another hotel located on a neighboring street, were sent to the editorial office of Life through the LifeCorr application. It turned out to be Andrei Tserush (Andrei Tarus). It was Tsarush, a former member of the once popular In Quadro boy band, according to one of the versions of foreign media, who formed Carla's Dreams, becoming the leader and soloist of the group. The fact that Andrei and the group flew to Moscow from Chisinau at the same time and settled in neighboring hotels, of course, did not say that Tserush is the lead singer of Carla's Dreams. More evidence needed to be collected.
After the next broadcast on one of the music channels, Tserush, having washed off the makeup in the room and dressed in "worldly", went to dinner. Leaving the hotel alone, Andrei met his manager at the establishment, whom we immediately recognized. It turned out to be Carla's Dreams agent Stefan Lucia. Having discovered another intersection of Tsarush with the group, we continued to collect confirmations.
Having settled down at the next table in the restaurant, we recorded a fragment of the conversation to make sure that the voice of Andrei sitting at the table was similar to the voice of the soloist who gave an interview to our publication. Having discovered a striking similarity of timbres, we did not rely on our own perception and turned to professionals for help. A specialist in phonoscopic examination, comparing the audio recording from the restaurant with the soloist's interview, established the absolute identity of the voices.
The timbre, tonality, range, intonation, as well as the phonetics of the pronunciation of words - all this is absolutely the same, there can be no doubt about it, ”said Boris Sergienko, a specialist in voice examination, to Life.
Realizing that it was Andrei Tsarush, a member of the disintegrated Moldovan group In Quadro, who was the elusive soloist of the Carla's Dreams group, we decided to exclude all variants of random coincidences and turned to another expert for help - a specialist who studies facial features. Physiognomist Elena We provided Filatova with two photographs: the group's lead singer in a mask, giving an interview, and Andrey Tsarush, taken by us in a restaurant and when leaving the hotel.The expert established the 100% identity of facial expressions, shape and facial features.
The shape of the face is exactly the same. The distance between the mouth and nose is identical. Mouth size, lip shape. The same distance that the nose protrudes. Fa-ling lines go from the nose, judging by Chinese physiognomy, they are equally pronounced in him. The nostrils are outlined, the cheekbones are also the same. They even speak the same way. It's one hundred percent the same person! There is no doubt! - said the physiognomist Svetlana Filatova to Life.
After the experts confirmed the identity of the man in the mask and the man shot by Life, we only had to take the artists to the airport. On the day of departure, around noon, a car drove up to the hotel of Andrey Tsarush, from which all the other musicians of Carla's Dreams appeared one after another.
After smoking with Tsarush, the men got into the car with him. Their next destination was Domodedovo Airport. And at the passport control, we were once again convinced that the name Tserush was indeed registered in the passport of the main person involved in the investigation, which we followed for several days.
Carla's Dreams is a Moldovan musical project created in 2012 in Chisinau. It is an anonymous group of singers and composers who sing in Romanian, Russian and English. During concerts, the band's vocalist wears a hood and sunglasses to hide his identity, and his face is covered by a mask.
Carla's Dreams combines several musical styles in her work, including hip-hop, jazz, rock and pop. The first song of Carla's Dreams was "Dă-te". In 2013, in Romania, Carla's Dreams, together with Inna, performed the song "P.O.H.U.I.", later they performed the song "Lumea ta" with Loredana, and in 2015 they released the songs "Cum ne noi" and "Da, mamă" with Delia.
At the end of May 2016, the track "Sub pielea mea" took the first line of the hit parade of the Russian iTunes Store. In the same year, following the results of July, the song took first place in the Yandex.Music service in Russia.
The group, which can be awarded the title of "breakthrough of the year", is still shrouded in mystery: no one knows who is behind the mask of "Carla's Dreams".
After more than a year since they entered the music market, in Moldova and Romania the curiosity of the public is off the charts. Fans of the group put forward the most daring assumptions, and all just to find out who he is.
The veil of secrecy of the name of the Carla's Dreams project was lifted by the members of the group themselves, it comes from the name of the male character of the novels by John le Carré. the public.
Since its founding in 2012, no one has seen their true face. The soloist, as well as the rest of the Carla's Dreams group, sing with painted faces, glasses and hoods on their heads. This is their choice, because all that matters, in the end, is music, text. Initially, anonymity was not seen as a way to gain popularity, but once it did, it was considered a marketing strategy.Group members are of the opinion that, to a large extent, it relieves them of the stress of public life.
However, the real paparazzi did not calm down until they found out the identity of the soloist, it turned out to be Andrei Tsarush, a former member of the "In Quadro" group, born on October 25, 1984 in the city of Slobodzeya, the Republic of Moldova. He achieved success by launching real hits with Inna, Loredana Groza and Delia. He graduated from the Faculty of Public Law in Chisinau.
The first piece released by Carla's Dreams was "Dă-te" ("Get Out"). In March 2013, the band shot a video for the song "P.O.H.U.I" in collaboration with the Romanian singer Inna, changing it a bit. The group differs from other local acts in that it uses personalized slang, lyrics about the realities of everyday life, and uses multiple musical styles.
They released their first album electronically. The first video clip was realized in collaboration with Dara. In 2013, Carla's Dreams launched their project in Romania, in collaboration with Inna, the play "P.O.H.U.I." etc.
The members of the group have excellent plans for the future, fame is not a value in itself for them. They are interested in the evolution and popularity of the project, and they work towards this goal, without music theory, doing what they like.
They were recently named "the most beloved among the anonymous", a recognition of the merits of their joint efforts to bring to listeners and viewers from the scene the important issues of everyday life in an appropriate musical format.
Biography
To date, there are rumors about the former member of the group "In Quadro" Andrei Tsarush, who, allegedly, is the lead singer of Carla's Dreams.
28 year old young man did not confirm, which is part of the Carla's Dreams project, and did not say who exactly is hiding under the mask.
In many interviews, Carla's Dreams has repeatedly stated that he is unlikely to ever reveal the secret. According to him, this is the only way to maintain their individuality.
Everyone who worked with the group was warned in advance that under no circumstances they have the right to disclose the identity of the lead singer of Carla's Dreams.
Interview with the lead singer of Carla's Dreams: I'm sickeningly ugly, so I hide my face
In the first frank interview, the performer of the hit Sub Pielea Mea told Life about why he hides his identity.
The sensational hit Sub Pielea Mea - Eroina by Carla's Dreams has been at the top of the main European charts for seven months already. painted faces in dark glasses and hoods.In the foreign press, the group has long been called a phenomenon - no one knows what its members look like and what their names are.In an exclusive interview with Life, the soloist of the band spoke about how the musical project was created and why its members are forced to hide their faces.
Are you in Moscow for the first time?
Yes, this is my first time in Moscow with a part of my band. We came for three days - just to reconnoiter the situation. I haven't been able to go anywhere yet. True, some guys were yesterday in a club. But I didn’t go - I had to get enough sleep, before the flight I spent the whole night in the studio, so I had absolutely no desire to go somewhere, despite the fact that I was in Moscow for the first time.
The group is called Carla's Dreams, so who is Carla?
As long as the project exists, I will not tell if it was named after some girl or not. I can only say that in the novel by John Le Carré there was such a character, Karla, a spy, about whom practically nothing was known. It absolutely suits our project.
Did you paint your face from the very beginning of the project?
The idea was ours, and it is absolutely not new. There was just a problem and it needed to be solved. The problem was that we do not want a public life. We are not interested in social life and show business hangouts. Initially, it was an Internet project. There was absolutely no communication with the press. Even when the project grew and became popular. Then there was an urgent need to do at least one concert. There was a problem: I did not want to go out the way I am. Of course, I would like to boast that I am such a good marketer, but I am not. I am aware that now it looks exactly like a competent PR move, if someone thinks that I am so smart, it's only a plus for me.
There are rumors that you hide your face because of skin problems.
Yes, I confirm that I look very bad. I'm sickeningly ugly, which is why I hide. I just don't want to spoil people's mood. But, seriously, everything is fine with my health, including my skin.
For privacy reasons, do you have the same make-up artist every time?
We make up ourselves. For four years they have already learned how to apply makeup themselves. The make-up artist comes only when we need a more complex make-up, for example, latex. This is when the shape of the cheekbones changes, but these are already perversions, but sometimes we resort to them. Just because we want to, it's cool to change your appearance.
There is always a different number of people on stage, how many members does your band have?
We are not a band, we are a project. There are more than two dozen of us. The project has both a musical component and several others that I won't talk about, but it brings together a circle of people. These people are not in the same country, because we have been living in the 21st century for 16 years, many things can be done remotely. Therefore, someone does not need to fly from Kyiv to Bucharest or from Chisinau to Kyiv to come up with something, write or just talk. Fortunately, we have the Internet. At concerts, musicians are usually different. There may be 8 of us - this is the maximum, and 5, and 6, and even 3. It depends on the site and concerts. These people are absolutely impersonal, there is no such thing that this particular drummer or this particular guitarist performs. The vocalist, unfortunately, does not change, yes, it is technically difficult to do this.
During the existence of the group, many third-party people worked with you, how do you monitor the leakage of information?
It is impossible to completely eliminate the leakage of information. There are at least three news items in Moldova that I know of, and they are a lot of fun. In the press, as soon as they didn’t call me: Andrey, and Roma, and Sergey. Proving identity is very difficult. You have to try very hard, I have not yet met such people. In addition, there is a legal component - the disclosure of information will be expensive. Even obscenely expensive. Plus, we choose people who see things the same way we do. There is one more thing that I am proud of - this is that the public in Moldova and Romania is boycotting news that begins with the words "we found out the identity of the lead singer of Carla" s Dreams ". People post such news, and they immediately ban, and the publications There are a lot of haters spreading this news, the public doesn't want to know who we are, so the journalists lose their interest, because there is no demand for this news.
How will the life of the group change if your names are declassified?
If someone wants to hurt us, well, that's their business. This will create great social inconvenience. It will change the lifestyle. I don't want to be known also because it's expensive to be famous. I don't want to buy fashionable clothes and go to secular parties. Social life requires some standards: how I should dress, where I should go and whom I should smile at. I don't want to smile at anyone just because it's good for business or it's ugly not to smile.
But it turns out that this is a double standard?
I agree. I think, and most people do, that the truth is somewhere in between. The more relatively you look at things, the calmer and easier life is for you. Well, yes, it happens this way and that: both ours and yours.
Foreign journalists claim that you are a former member of the Moldovan group In Quadro, which was produced by Alexander Russo. What can you say about it?
I know both Alexander Russo and Ivan Lasolvan - this is a member of this group. The fact is that a couple of years ago there was news that I was a former soloist or member of this group. One of the members of the In Quadro group - Andrey - actually worked with us in some way. Somehow journalists called him and asked about it, he answered them something indistinct, and so the news appeared. Therefore, they take me for Andrey. I responsibly declare that this is not so! I have never been a member of the group In Quadro and have no relation to it.
How do you know Russian so well?
Some people think that I have relatives in Russia. I don't have Russian roots. I and some of the guys are from Chisinau, and there a fairly large part of the population speaks Russian well. Plus, before the collapse of the USSR, your language was our state language. Well, plus the influence of media from Russia also played a role. Now in the project, some of the guys from Romania, some from Ukraine, now, maybe, I will take from Russia.
You will release a new song in a few days, tell us about it.
Well, the song is so-so. No, she's actually pretty cool. The idea is beautiful. The song will be called "Triangle" or "Triangles", we haven't decided yet. But the clip has already been thought up: from a moral point of view, it will be very difficult for the viewer to determine who he is for. Everyone is right.
