Tatiana Nabieva interview

Gigi Farid posted a colourful and entertaining interview with Nabs. 🙂

I am a lazy person, I am like the wind: I do things only when I want to, if I want to risk then I risk. If I am interested in a new element I do it until perfection-that is how I mastered my elements. …

Regarding Azerbajan I don’t know anything, no one contacted me. Why would I need that? I feel great in Russia. I am communicating through social media with the girls who moved there. I am happy for them. Everyone is choosing their own path. I frequently talk to Yulia Inshina, she is my best friend. …

I am thinking about getting a job: gather a group of kids and begin to train them. I always wanted to be as my coaches the Kirashoves: I love them and I think they are the best in the town and even in the country. I am thankful to them for everything they have done for me.

I am a university student and now I have exams. …
