On May 4, 2025, NTV will air a special episode of the popular transformation show "Maska" dedicated to singer Sergey Lazarev. This episode, which celebrates Lazarev's birthday, will feature new masks, each connected to the artist's life and creativity.
The sixth season of "Maska" recently concluded with Alexander Panayotov emerging as the winner, donning the costume of a Watermill. The show, hosted by Vyacheslav Makarov, will definitely return for a seventh season. While fans eagerly await the next installment, NTV is treating them to a special episode focused on Lazarev, who previously participated in the fourth season as the Scorpion.
During that season, the jury faced a difficult decision between Lazarev and Dima Bilan, who performed as Mamontenok. Ultimately, the two shared the victory, leaving many viewers dissatisfied with the outcome. In this special episode, airing at 20:20, Lazarev will take on the role of jury chairman, tasked with uncovering the identities of his colleagues and fellow performers hidden behind the masks of Sobak, Lazerboy, Shepot, Malina, Okean, Porosenka, and Angel.
Each mask will perform hits from Lazarev's repertoire, including "Tak krasivo," "Sdavaisya," and "Vkus maliny." Additionally, Lazarev himself will join in the festivities, performing his song "Esli by ya mog." "I am immensely pleased to be the hero of this special episode of 'Maska,' although it comes with great responsibility. I look forward to every mask, my colleagues, and friends who will perform my songs... I am sure many of my hits will be presented in a new interpretation and sound. Anything is possible here! I've already seen a few of them and can say they are stunning. Thank you to 'Maska' for such a fantastic experiment! I can't wait for the audience to enjoy the show as much as I do," Lazarev expressed.
