RUBRIC "ROOM" dedicated to the place in which a person spends most of his time. This can be absolutely any space: a huge kitchen where the hero works and relaxes, an art gallery that has become a second home for its owner, or just a living room in a one-room apartment, which is at the same time an office, a bedroom and a secret place. A space in which a person is able to concentrate on himself and his affairs and not feel like a participant in the eternal race of a big city. In our new issue - Anna Maslovskaya, restaurant critic, creator of the anna.m.objects jewelry brand and chief editor of the “Food” section of Afisha Daily in her living room in her house on Krasnaya Presnya.
Home is a place that feels good to me and to those who come into it at least for a while - I love to take care of others. It seems to me that what surrounds your home is much more important, and not at all what tiles are laid in the bathroom. It’s very easy to change the situation. For the last five years I have been living in one of the best places in Moscow - near the zoo. The apartment is located so that from the windows you can see elephants, bison and the high-rise building on Barrikadnaya. The sounds that animals constantly make reconcile me with life in the city. I adore Moscow, but I can’t live without nature. This is a great gift of fate - otherwise I would probably live closer to the forest.
Anya says: “There’s a zoo outside the window and there’s also a zoo in the apartment: I love animals, especially sea animals, and elephants - there are a lot of their figurines on the shelves. A large number of pigs were inherited from a relationship with a person who loves them very much.”
On the bottom shelf is a plate that Anya made for herself during her ceramics class. She admits that in the future she would like to try herself in this direction: “I already have an idea for creating a set for Chinese tea drinking in the Art Deco style.”
About the arrangement
I don’t like yellow light and I like cool shades, so when I moved here, I changed a lot. At first everything was in beige and brown tones. The first thing I did was replace the chandeliers and curtains and buy a desk. I didn’t have the strength to repaint the walls, but then, as happens with everyone, I got used to it. The apartment began to acquire “decorative fat” naturally, filling with carpets, paintings, dishes and various useless beautiful objects brought from all over the world. There was no idea to arrange the space in a certain way: if I had been asked about my vision, I would have said that the house should be empty, ascetic and cold - such spaces keep one in good shape. But, looking around, I understand that I literally keep a shelter for objects that seem to choose me and ask for my arms, and I cannot refuse them.
Anya admits that her collection of dishes was collected spontaneously from different countries of the world
About the room
The connected kitchen and living room are both a workplace and an area for gatherings with friends. Most often, if I relax, then in my favorite chair, and on the couch I spend time only in the company of someone. I work at tables: at the kitchen table I write articles and edit texts, at the red table I make decorations. Friends say that this apartment is imbued with warmth and they feel comfortable here. I don’t think they’re lying: I feel the same way - as if she’s a little alive.
I don't have a single set of plates, glasses or even forks and knives. I buy all kitchen items separately, often abroad, so the collection is collected spontaneously. There is Chinese and English vintage, Thai and Vietnamese artisans, and IKEA, of course. My favorite plate is Japanese: it was presented at the opening of the first Marukame in Moscow.

About furniture
Basic design for the brand. It’s gratifying that even today someone makes furniture that is affordable and certainly comfortable, and not just beautiful. The red table is also from there. A much rarer item, but also inexpensive: there was no problem in buying something more luxurious, because I damage the surface while working. I recently found my favorite chair at Mobeledom. This is a school chair that, in addition to being incredibly comfortable, also looks great. I'm waiting for a new batch to arrive at the showroom; I was promised benches from a Catholic cathedral - I love religious aesthetics. The main thing is that they are very, very comfortable. My favorite things in the house right now are an armchair, a chair, plants, a Muji humidifier and rugs, which obviously will be a lot more in a couple of years. There is an idea to make a carpet and wallpaper of your own design, but not in the near future. The ambition to remake absolutely the whole world in my own way never fades, so for now I started with small forms - jewelry.
Many little things for the house were bought at flea markets. Several of these are in Paris. Some things were donated by relatives, but Anya buys a lot herself

An excerpt characterizing Maslovskaya, Anna Ivanovna
Rostov and Ilyin let the horses out for the last time to drive the horses into the drag in front of Bogucharov, and Rostov, having overtaken Ilyin, was the first to gallop into the street of the village of Bogucharov.“You took the lead,” said the flushed Ilyin.
“Yes, everything is forward, and forward in the meadow, and here,” answered Rostov, stroking his soaring bottom with his hand.
“And in French, your Excellency,” Lavrushka said from behind, calling his sled nag French, “I would have overtaken, but I just didn’t want to embarrass him.”
They walked up to the barn, near which stood a large crowd of men.
Some men took off their hats, some, without taking off their hats, looked at those who had arrived. Two long old men, with wrinkled faces and sparse beards, came out of the tavern and, smiling, swaying and singing some awkward song, approached the officers.
- Well done! - Rostov said, laughing. - What, do you have any hay?
“And they are the same...” said Ilyin.
“Vesve...oo...oooo...barking bese...bese...” the men sang with happy smiles.
One man came out of the crowd and approached Rostov.
- What kind of people will you be? - he asked.
“The French,” Ilyin answered, laughing. “Here is Napoleon himself,” he said, pointing to Lavrushka.
- So, you will be Russian? – the man asked.
- How much of your strength is there? – asked another small man, approaching them.
“Many, many,” answered Rostov. - Why are you gathered here? - he added. - A holiday, or what?
“The old people have gathered on worldly business,” the man answered, moving away from him.
At this time, along the road from the manor's house, two women and a man in a white hat appeared, walking towards the officers.
- Mine in pink, don’t bother me! - said Ilyin, noticing Dunyasha resolutely moving towards him.
- Ours will be! – Lavrushka said to Ilyin with a wink.
- What, my beauty, do you need? - Ilyin said, smiling.
- The princess ordered to find out what regiment you are and your last names?
- This is Count Rostov, squadron commander, and I am your humble servant.
- B...se...e...du...shka! - the drunk man sang, smiling happily and looking at Ilyin talking to the girl. Following Dunyasha, Alpatych approached Rostov, taking off his hat from afar.
“I dare to bother you, your honor,” he said with respect, but with relative disdain for the youth of this officer and putting his hand in his bosom. “My lady, the daughter of General Chief Prince Nikolai Andreevich Bolkonsky, who died this fifteenth, being in difficulty due to the ignorance of these persons,” he pointed to the men, “asks you to come... would you like,” Alpatych said with a sad smile, “to leave a few, otherwise it’s not so convenient when... - Alpatych pointed to two men who were running around him from behind, like horseflies around a horse.
- A!.. Alpatych... Eh? Yakov Alpatych!.. Important! forgive for Christ's sake. Important! Eh?.. – the men said, smiling joyfully at him. Rostov looked at the drunken old men and smiled.
– Or perhaps this consoles your Excellency? - said Yakov Alpatych with a sedate look, pointing at the old people with his hand not tucked into his bosom.
“No, there’s little consolation here,” Rostov said and drove off. - What's the matter? - he asked.
“I dare to report to your excellency that the rude people here do not want to let the lady out of the estate and threaten to turn away the horses, so in the morning everything is packed and her ladyship cannot leave.”
- Can't be! - Rostov screamed.
“I have the honor to report to you the absolute truth,” Alpatych repeated.
Rostov got off his horse and, handing it over to the messenger, went with Alpatych to the house, asking him about the details of the case. Indeed, yesterday’s offer of bread from the princess to the peasants, her explanation with Dron and the gathering spoiled the matter so much that Dron finally handed over the keys, joined the peasants and did not appear at Alpatych’s request, and that in the morning, when the princess ordered to lay money to go, the peasants came out in a large crowd to the barn and sent to say that they would not let the princess out of the village, that there was an order not to be taken out, and they would unharness the horses. Alpatych came out to them, admonishing them, but they answered him (Karp spoke most of all; Dron did not appear from the crowd) that the princess could not be released, that there was an order for that; but let the princess stay, and they will serve her as before and obey her in everything.
