The project “Star Hour” at the 21st International Art Festival “Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk” has changed greatly. First of all journalists didn’t see a constant host Victor Tatarsky. This year Sergei Shustitsky and Alexei Ostudin will represent the stars by chain. By the way, as the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, a famous composer and TV host Sergei Shustitsky stated at the opening of the first meeting of the International Press-center, he is going to lead the program “Star Hour” being in the shadows, allowing the stars to communicate with journalists. Sergei does not like scandals, he is for a good will, moreover, the format of “Star Hour” will be strictly regulated because of TV recordings.
Meeting at the International Press-center with Alexander Rybak wasn’t planned, but it was a baptism of fire for the co-host Alexei Ostudin and a Norwegian with Belarusian soul Alexander Rybak has demonstrated a sincere desire to communicate with the press without fear of any questions. And they were tricky. For example:
– Sasha, do you want to become a father?
– No, I’m working hard not to become him!
Preferably, he will sit on a deserted island in the rain with Katrine Moholt and talk about life’s sorrows and joys.

– What is your best summer memory?
– My best summer memory is when I went to Tusenfryd (amusment park) with the first girl I was in love with. We went to Tusenfryd, because I knew she was going to sit close to me when we would take the Timber chute.
– What kind of relationship do you have to the summer?
– I like summer when it rains. I am a Belarus, you know, so I’m a sucker for melancholy and nostalgia. Also, I like to see the sunset in the summer.
