to take centre stage

❤️

Nick, TAKE CENTER STAGE implies that something becomes the most important thing in one’s life, takes priority. If that applies here to the Russian, then yes, that works.

Hi Uly! I proposed it as synonym for "to be at the centre of attention" - see https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/take-centre-stage

Hi! I was agreeing with you, but pointing out that it’s more common in the sense of something being or becoming THE priority in your life: “When you’re a bachelor, you only have yourself to worry about, but when you have children, their welfare takes center stage.”

Great, thanks!
