The only daughter of the legendary Ukrainian singer and leader of the Scriabin group Andrei Kuzmenko, Maria Barbara, revealed what her father was like in real life. According to the girl, while the public was used to seeing the artist always kind and cheerful, at home he was quite strict. The performer set many prohibitions for his daughter and did not allow her to waste time lying in front of the TV, instead constantly insisting on self-development. Maria-Barbara Kuzmenko shared her memories of her father in a commentary for the project “Naodintsi with Glamor”.
“In fact, I was brought up in quite strict conditions, although everyone thinks that my dad was super kind and I could do everything. In fact, I could do very little. I was constantly in conditions where I had to study, I couldn’t just lie there and do nothing, watch TV series. Therefore, I remember many of his instructions. His hard work resonates with me now, the way he said that you should always strive for the goal,” shared the artist’s daughter.
At the same time, as Maria-Barbara Kuzmenko emphasized, Kuzma Scriabin never told her which path in life to take. He allowed his daughter to choose her profession independently, without imposing any of his own opinions..
In conclusion, the girl emphasized: people just need to understand that Kuzma Scriabin was a star only for fans, but for her he was just a father, so on stage and at home he revealed completely different sides of his personality.
" You need to understand that at home he was a different person. And with me, he was first and foremost a dad, not a celebrity,” emphasized Maria-Barbara Kuzmenko.
