Katya Gerasicheva, editor-in-chief of W-O-S.ru
The heroines of the first Wonderzine publication do different things - they edit magazines and websites, open stores, invent clothes, arrange meals, sing in a group, do art and manage international companies. One thing unites them - everything that they do causes the processes around to accelerate. They are energetic, professional, self-sufficient and attract the same to them. No wonder almost everyone asked the question "What girls inspire you?" They answer that they do not know how to equal people who they personally do not know. But on their own equal other girls who will become our heroines very soon.

I know nothing neither about the media industry, nor about its changes
On Katya Gerasicheva: Dress Marc Jacobs (Aizel247.ru)
How has the media industry changed since you started working in it?
I know nothing about the media industry, or about its changes. Never followed it. To be honest, I am afraid of such phrases. I always get lost and I think that I need to answer something clever with the same clever words. And I do not know how.
How are the girls around you changing and interested in?
Girls prettier and prettier. What are they interested in? We must ask them themselves. In my opinion, they were always interested in what they are now. Nothing changes.
What, in your opinion, is happening with cultural life in Moscow?
For me, the “cultural life of Moscow”, if I correctly understand what this means, is expressed in the fact that on weekends at the Red October it is impossible to either park a car or go to the subway so as not to hurt someone with your elbow. Streams of overly brightly dressed and very loudly laughing people are being pulled into the "cultural centers of Moscow" in an effort to "culturally relax." It is very tiring.
What are you doing right now?
We want to use our resource of programmers and web designers and make a digital agency in the future. That is, to work not only on our site, but also to fulfill third-party orders.
I get nauseated by the word “project”. As a rule, this is a bunch of meaningless words with the help of which they are trying to tear off money
What girls inspire you?
I am inspired by my god daughter, Sasha Zalivako. She is talented, courageous, cheerful, kind, funny, beautiful and infinitely generous. But this is not the main thing. The main thing is that she knows how to fill people with the belief that everything will be fine and that no matter what you do, you will always be accepted and loved. This is a rare, almost non-existent combination of qualities.
What qualities should a modern girl have?
Why exactly girl? This is the same as asking what qualities blondes should possess. Or do you think that a girl is forgivable, that it is unforgivable to a man? Or vice versa - should a girl have something that a man should not have? This is a cruel delusion. In people, regardless of their gender and age, I appreciate some qualities and despise others.
What do you miss in Moscow?
In Moscow, I miss Moscow. The one I knew her before. I'm not talking about what everyone is whining about: they say, they have built up Moscow and have disfigured it. Moscow was built up and always mutilated. She was never a very beautiful city. But earlier people who came here tried to assimilate and become Muscovites. They tried to adjust to its rhythm and its rules. Now visitors dictate to her what to be. This is natural. It happens to any big city. But I am very uncomfortable with this. I feel like an unwelcome guest where my parents and grandparents spent their whole lives.
What are some of the best new projects?
The best project that the girls have recently done is the Exit charitable foundation that deals with the problems of autistic children. It was created by Avdotya Smirnova, Irina Meglinskaya, Ekaterina Men, Ekaterina Krongauz and other wonderful, strong, and most importantly, caring people. In general, I am nauseated by the word "project". As a rule, this is a bunch of beautiful, meaningless words with the help of which people who are unable and unwilling to work for real, try to tear off money from the next rich person. It's not fair.
