and here are the pics from chic mag, as well as the article, also scanned by wes

Can anyone translate the article?

i can but it will take me a while...might be able to tomorrow

if someone else can do it faster...that'd be great

ok first page...which has the big E on it (dont ask why wes didnt put these up in order lol)

this is just a rough paraphrase:

in only 3 years, natalia has gone from selling fruit on the streets of her home town to making the covers of fashion mags and being the face of big campaigns...in those 3 yrs she met, fell in love with, and gave birth to the child of aristocrat justin portman....they married in a ceremony that lasted 3 days...in those 3 years she decided to share her good fortune with others, thus the naked heart foundation was born--an organization benefitting the children of russia...natalia has donated thousands to the cause...

Q: whats the next chapter in this happy biography, that perhaps one day will be a hollywood script?

A: i dont believe in fairy tales...i have my feet planted firmly on the ground. i try to take each opportunity as it comes and make the most of it. i live for the day. for example, my one concern at the moment is to be as honest in what i tell you. if i were God, i could tell u all my aspirations, but i cant answer that question because they are unknown. like anyone in this world i am just fighting to survive and develop my abilities

Q: would u say then that your past isnt relevant?

A: to look back isnt me...whats most important to me are the memories and sentiments, like the memory of a love or an offense (wrongdoing)...i talk about important moments....

** will continue more tomorrow**

2nd page (34) and a bit of the last page (39) (anything in brackets is really rough translation...see maddog for better translation lol)

Q: whats the most important moment in your life?

A: what an interesting question! how can one choose? something of my childhood...not sure coz all of my memories have to do with love...i fall in love easily...at only 12 i had a boyfriend...we held hands and all the other kids would say "boyfriend and girlfriend!" thanks to that boy i was aware for the first time that i was a girl...and he was a boy...my memory of that moment is vivid...i remember what i was wearing...yada yada...[next part is a little fuzzy but i think she says] we were in the bathroom together...and i went in front of him (blushes a little)...at that moment my mom came in and told us that we could not use the bathroom together

Q: if Nizhni Novgorod
