It’s easy to become a little envious after a scroll through Instagram and seeing the glamorous lives of some of Melbourne’s well-heeled. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my time in the media, it’s that people’s lives are often more complex than what is splashed across our screens.

Rozalia and Nick Russian are two such people. Socialites, A-listers, and influencers yes, but also hardworkers, parents and philanthropists.

The couple is set to attend the MRC Blue Diamond Ball for charity this month, and, in this week’s cover story

by Kim Wilson, they explain what life is like off the red carpet. ●

om Gleeson doesn’t take his place in the limelight for granted. The 47-year-old comedian and Hard Quiz host admits his pursuit for recognition has been a gradual hard slog (no pun intended) over two decades.

“I have recorded many TV pilot shows that never got picked up and many that haven’t been renewed either,” Gleeson says.

After starting out in stand-up comedy in the 1990s, Gleeson got his TV break on Network 10’s Skithouse in the early 2000s, in which he played a parody of fast bowler Dennis Lillee.

The popularity of his Hard Chat segment on The Weekly With Charlie Pickering led to Gleeson eventually hosting Hard Quiz on ABC TV by 2016.

“Things not working out in TV is normal, and things working out really well is unusual,” he says.

“I am ever grateful that Hard Quiz is resonating with so many.”

Gleeson has just finished the seventh season of the satirical quiz show, in which his deadpan responses made him a hit among young and old – earning him Gold Logie glory in 2019.

After the win, everybody was curious about what Gleeson would do next, having reached the pinnacle of TV recognition in Australia.

“I didn’t change a thing after winning the Gold Logie,” he says. “Why change something when it’s working? I don’t look like a traditional TV host; I am a bit abrasive. I thought maybe I am too niche, but I have my own TV show format and I can say whatever I want, and it’s the dream job.”

Gleeson, who lives in Romsey near Victoria’s Macedon Ranges with his wife (food writer Ellie Parker) and their two children, says he’s the quiet one in reality.

“My mother, brother and sisters are much louder than me,” he says. “I am not nearly as mouthy and gregarious as people expect. There is nothing worse than a performer in a social situation who dominates the conversation, so I prefer to be the guy who sits back to listen.”

Gleeson’s seven-year-old son is a regular viewer of Hard Quiz, if only to match the appetite of those at his school who constantly talk about the show.

“I don’t really know why kids like watching it so much; maybe they see a man misbehave wearing a suit who looks like a teacher but isn’t,” Gleeson says. “Our 10-year-old daughter is well behaved, but

It’s a Hard life my son is a little bit of a rebel, and watching his dad saying the most heinous things on TV and then getting a round of applause is a bit of a tricky one.

I explain to him you don’t talk like that in real life.”

The secret to the show’s success includes a team of clever writers, Gleeson says.

“The writing and research that goes into the questions takes a lot of time, and our writers do an amazing job,” he says.

“They’ll take a subject like Trotsky and create five questions that people at home won’t be bored by and make sure we learn something about him at the same time. They tell a story in those five questions that are a mix of difficult, true and interesting and entertaining to hear.” ● HARD QUIZ \ Seasons 1-7 streaming on ABC iview ● iview.abc.net.au/show/hard-quiz

COVER STORY

Golden couple Nick and Rozalia Russian live a glittering life, but out of the spotlight it’s all about hard work and staying humble.

O

ne look at glamour couple Nick and Rozalia Russian’s social media accounts shows a picture-perfect life full of fabulous fashion, fun parties and a lovely family life.

Nick is the owner of hot new supper club Bar Bambi, while Rozalia is a former ballerina turned power inf luencer and creative director.

They both have high profiles on the Melbourne social scene, but individually and together they are more than just pretty faces.

Scratch below the surface and you will find two hard-working, determined, creative and entrepreneurial people who may look like graceful swans gliding across the surface of life, but underneath their legs are working overtime to keep propelling them forward.

Neither was born into a life of luxury and so they know not to take any of their success for granted.

“Both Nick and I come from very humble backgrounds where we’ve always been told and taught that no one’s going to throw a bag of gold over your fence,” Rozalia says. “If you want to go out and do something, you’ve got to do it yourself. As soon as I could get a job at 15 years and 9 months, I went straight to Coles as a check-out chick.”

Rozalia was born in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, and escaped with her family when she was three.

“We f led in 1991 because the USSR was breaking up,” she says. “We f led with one suitcase, and I think about $150. My mum had to melt everything down into gold because we weren’t allowed to take anything over. We actually f led on a tourist visa.”

The current crisis in Ukraine has hit home for the 34-year-old mother of two as her father is from the besieged nation.

“It’s something that’s close to my heart because we did go through [something like] it,” she says.

While their professional lives may be high profile, they are keen to shield their daughter Willow, 8, and son Kingston, 5, from the spotlight when they can.

“We try to minimise it as much as possible, really, how much we do put them out there,” Nick says.

“We often get offered different things for the kids, asking would they like this or that, and do a photo of them on social media or whatever it might be, but Rozalia declines 99 per cent of it.

“We need to instil in the kids the mindset that it’s not normal just to be given things all the time, you need to work for it. And the other thing is, we are trying to minimise how much time they are exposed to any form of media.”

Rozalia says coming from the background she did has instilled in her a strong work ethic, one she hopes their children will learn.

“We try to teach our children that in life, no one’s going to give you something; you need to work for it,” she says.

“We also want our kids to be kids. When they’re old enough and they want a job and if it’s something that they want to get into, whether it’s modelling and being out there, that’s a discussion that we can have.

“But I’ve always said that I feel like they need to make that decision and I wouldn’t force them to do anything that they don’t want to do.”

Nick’s work life has amped up since COVID, with the opening of Bar Bambi in the old Cherry Bar site in Melbourne’s CBD in November last year.

“Anytime you launch a new business, those first 12 months, you just really have to bury yourself in there and just continue to try to get ahead,” he says.

“Since opening in November, we’ve been very lucky. The place is a full house every night and it’s been accepted really well by the public. It’s booked out weeks and months in advance, so we are very grateful for all the support that we’ve been given from all of our guests.”

While she relishes working with and supporting local and international fashion labels, Rozalia’s long-term goal is to start her own brand.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to work with different brands and I’m on to my fourth design collection for another brand. But eventually, I’d like to finally put something out there with my own name on it,” she says.

In the meantime, the couple is looking forward to attending the Melbourne Racing Club’s Blue Diamond Ball on May 12.

The MRC Foundation has partnered with Koala Kids, a charity that brings happy moments to children and young people during cancer treatment, with the annual gala to be held at Caulfield Racecourse.

“We’re really looking forward to spending some time together but as well being able to support a charity like Koala Kids, which is an incredible charity,” Rozalia says.

Time out together is rare these days as Nick focuses on getting Bar Bambi going and Rozalia keeps family life centred and stable.

“We always said, and this comes down to a partnership, we try to make sure that at all times at least one parent is at home for the kids,” Rozalia says.

“With Nick opening Bambi, this is the time for him to be out there and absolutely driving anything and everything and then once things settle down, I’ll start driving my own brand.” ●

“In life, no one’s going to give you something; you need to work for it.”

FRESHSPLASH

S

ending her daughter Edie to school was a big decision for Esther Coleman-Hawkins.

Though Edie was the right age to leave the familiar spaces and faces at kindergarten, her teachers suggested she stay another year.

They said that though academically Edie was thriving, she wasn’t coping well when she made mistakes, and was having some issues socially.

“The second year [at kinder] was amazing,” says Coleman-Hawkins. “A school setting is so big that the social and emotional is way more important to get right than worrying about whether they can read and write, because they can pick that up.”

An extra year at kinder is what some kids need to thrive at school.

Wo r d s

The transition to school can be both exciting and challenging, as children navigate a new learning environment.

Toorak College principal Kristy Kendall says parents should focus on whether their child is both developmentally and academically ready for school – rather than just going off their age.

“There seems to be this real kind of momentum towards making sure your child’s doing what other kids are doing at that age,” says Kendall, who has a psychology degree and a masters in education. She says children are all so different that comparing them to others could be to their detriment.

“Leaving preconceived ideas around comparisons and age at the door is really important.”

Kendall says the main thing children need to start school is independence, and holding them back a year so that they gain the skills they need can help them grow into confident young people.

“Can they navigate social conflict? Do they know what to do if they’ve lost something? Are they the

“Leaving preconceived ideas around comparisons and age at the door is really important.”

KRISTY KENDALL

kind of kid who understands what seeking help looks like? What helping others looks like?” she says.

“We need to remember they’re developing their own perception of self. So if we put them in a situation where they’re not ready, or they can’t do it – how many months do you want your child to sit there and learn about themselves that they can’t?

“Waiting for those other signals will mean that their self-talk is ‘I can’.”

Though orientation programs will usually involve a visit to the new school so kids can learn where the toilets and drinking fountains are, Kendall says building confidence in their surroundings can happen outside the school grounds, such as at a

shopping centre: “‘Where do we go to get eggs?’

‘We’ve got to go down there and around there’.”

Remembering that your child’s teacher is a valuable resource is important too, Kendall says, as they’ve seen thousands of kids at the same age.

“It’s a really a time to stop and listen,” she says.

Coleman-Hawkins says establishing a personal connection with Edie’s teacher and principal helped her settle in at school.

“The more comfortable she felt in the community, the more enjoyable the whole process was,” she says.

“Being comfortable and confident emotionally and socially means learning can become fun, rather than a pressure.” ●

FEATURE HOUSE ELWOOD \ 4 HEATON AVENUE 5

This masterfully renovated family property embodies the warmth of the past combined with design, style and amenities that are as modern as next week. The house was built in the 1890s and has leadlight windows, picture rails, high strapped ceilings, open fireplaces, and a bay window.

In the original section, the main bedroom is at the front with a large walk-in wardrobe followed by a luxurious en suite. Beyond the en suite is a small bedroom that would be ideal for a nursery or private study.

On the opposite side of the hallway, the bedroom or sitting room that overlooks the pretty front verandah is fitted with library shelves and has an open fireplace. The fourth and fifth bedrooms also have built-in robes and one of these has access to a private deck.

The rear of the house faces north and this is where the creative contemporary magic happens. A curved gallery is a striking transition point from the gentle notes of the 19th century to dramatic architecture, clean lines and an indooroutdoor aesthetic.

Spaces in the living area are clearly delineated by the kitchen being on an angle on the western corner. This defines the dining area and seems to make the lounge section seem even larger. The lounge area opens via bifold doors to a timber deck warmed by gas heaters, and the back garden with fruit trees.

Carrara marble bench tops, quality appliances, open shelving and a timber feature wall make the kitchen a pleasure to use.

At the rear of the garden is a super-smart black home
