After one of them did not appear on screen for several issues in a row, many questions and gossip arose about this. In 2013, Denis Manzhosov left Kvartal, as they said then, to organize solo career.

No matter how hard the journalists tried to find out the details of this story, they were unable to do so.

The other day, the actors of the Kvartal 95 studio returned from a successful tour of Israel. Over the course of several days, the guys performed in three cities - Haifa, Ashkelon and Tel Aviv, where more than five thousand spectators gathered. All the concerts were sold out, and the audience did not want to let the artists leave the stage for a long time. According to Alexander Pikalov, the most surprising thing was to receive from Israeli fans... a Ukrainian flag. “It was very unexpected, but incredibly pleasant,” says Alexander. The guys stayed in the capital of Israel - Tel Aviv, from where every day they went to other cities for concerts and excursions.

According to all participants of the Kvartal 95 studio, the most vivid memory from the trip was their meeting with Patriarch Theophilus III of Jerusalem. “We talked a lot about Ukraine, about the world that we are all waiting for,” says the studio leader. - The Patriarch presented icons to our team, and we also did not remain in debt. They also organized a very interesting program for us, not in popular tourist places, but in caves, where not everyone is allowed.” According to Zelensky, he was used to being recognized everywhere with his boys, but for people to take pictures with him in holy places was very unexpected. “This time I felt like some kind of selfie pilgrim - they asked me to take pictures with me in all the churches, and of different denominations. It was especially funny when the nuns in robes asked for selfies. The only place where mine could no longer withstand the attention of fans and asked them to wait was at the Holy Sepulcher,” says Zelensky.

Evgeny Koshevoy is also proud of the fact that he saw Jerusalem from the inside. “Imagine, we visited inside the Western Wall and even on the other side. Of course, we made not only personal wishes, but also global ones, for the whole country,” says Evgeniy, who also managed to highly appreciate the dishes of Israeli cuisine. “What I remember most is the salmon sashimi with strawberries and the tuna tartare.”

From the trip, the guys brought their friends red strings against the evil eye, key chains, scrubs from the Dead Sea and, of course, hummus.

According to Stepan Kazanin, what he remembered most from the trip was the excursion to the wine farm. “Rose wine from local cellars is something, I brought a couple of bottles home,” says Styopa. By the way, many participants took on tour not only
