It is known that the first husband of Marina Khlebnikova was guitarist Anton Loginov. In the 90s, there was a lot of gossip around this union. Many suspected. That the marriage of Loginov and Khlebnikova is fictitious, especially since the marriage between them was never officially registered.

Marina Khlebnikova and Anton Loginov

The second husband of Marina Khlebnikova was Mikhail Maidanich, who holds a respectable position in the recording company Gramophone Records. This marriage also soon broke up, due to the fact that Mikhail could not bear the popularity of his wife. After the second marriage, the singer had a daughter, Dominika. Now Marina bitterly claims that she had to raise the girl alone.

Marina Khlebnikova and Mikhail Maidanich

Twenty days after the birth of Nicky, Marina again began to perform on stage. The reason for this haste is simple - at that time the country was in an economic crisis. It would not be right to refuse the opportunity to earn.

Marina Khlebnikova admitted in an interview that her second husband was seen in financial fraud. He borrowed large sums money in credit institutions and from friends.

The singer did not know about the dark affairs of her ex-husband. She admits that she made a mistake by letting Maidanich into her activities. Hiding behind the fame of the singer, he took out loans, borrowed large sums from famous people.

For example, a man deceived producer Iosif Prigogine for half a million euros. The producer is not angry with the singer. He understands that Marina has also become a victim of a scammer.
Now Marina hides the details of her personal life. She does not want to disclose the name of her lover and does not like to talk about her daughter. She believes that only her work, the best songs belong to the people, and she is not obliged to tell anyone about her personal life.

The daughter of the singer is now seventeen years old. When Marina was pregnant, she performed on stage until the ninth month. Therefore, Dominika became musical in the womb. The girl now cannot imagine a single day of her life without music, but she is not going to become an artist. Dominika Khlebnikova sings in restaurants for pleasure and gets paid for it.

Singer's hobbies

For several years, Marina did not appear on stage. Then information was leaked to the media that Marina Khlebnikova, the details of whose personal life and biography we are analyzing today, became a victim of the disease. In fact, the singer had serious health problems. She has undergone several jaw surgeries. The girl developed a cyst, she fell ill with sinusitis. Now Marina Khlebnikova is still coping with the consequences of the disease. She can’t catch a cold, but the famous singer doesn’t always manage to take care of herself. After all, she often spends time traveling.

In addition, the media periodically discuss that the star of the 90s Marina Khlebnikova has problems with alcohol. That is why, according to the press, she does not appear at social events. But the singer declares that she simply has no time to go to "parties". Now she works a lot. She's not as popular as she used to be. Despite the fact that the singer is not paid a lot of money for performances, she does not complain about life - she has enough money.

Marina still lives in the capital, in a luxurious duplex apartment in Butovo. Rumors that she was on the verge of poverty were greatly exaggerated. In the apartment, Marina collected a whole collection of pianos, soft toys and rare minerals. With pleasure creates a cosiness in the house. The singer has a cat Businka, who is already fifteen years old. In addition, Marina breeds flowers at home. She has many plants, which the singer cares for with love. Because of this, Marina even calls her apartment a garden.
On the Web, you can find a lot of gossip about the fact that now Marina Khlebnikova rarely appears on the screens because she does not want to show everyone the results of an unsuccessful plastic surgery.

The singer replies that so far she has never done plastic surgery. Marina Khlebnikova prefers to just get enough sleep and use more conservative methods of personal care. After a working day, the singer always pours herself a bath with oils. And in order for her eyes to come to their senses after bright spotlights and spotlights, Khlebnikova puts tea bags on them. After water procedures, Marina gives herself a massage, puts a nourishing mask on her face, drinks a glass of freshly squeezed juice and rests. Thanks to these simple rituals, the singer managed to preserve her beauty. But if suddenly she wants to do plastic surgery, then she will not deny herself this desire.

Now the singer plans to hold several concerts abroad, in Germany. She is still in demand and loved. Rumors about the illness of Marina Khlebnikova, whose biography and personal life are so interesting to fans, turned out to be a little exaggerated. Happy photos indicate that she managed to cope with the disease. And apparently, Marina will delight fans of her work more for a long time.

In the mid-nineties and early 2000s, there were many pop idols in our country. What is the work of Andrey Gubin or the Ladybug group worth. Many of their hits will be remembered for a lifetime. They still have fans, despite the fact that the performers of the famous hits themselves have long disappeared from sight. By the birthday of singer Natalia Vetlitskaya, Woman’s Day found out what happened to the twenty most popular performers of that time.

Natalia Vetlitskaya, 2010

unexpected departure

For many years, the ex-soloist of the popular band Mirage managed to occupy the niche of a sexy singing blonde in the domestic show business. And the shots with her skirt lifted from the Playboy video became one of the symbols of the nineties. Natasha released a couple of albums that were literally swept off the shelves by fans, and then suddenly disappeared from the public eye.

With what they just did not associate the departure of the pop diva from the stage. She left the world of show business in silence, without giving a farewell concert and without explaining herself to the public. The disappearance of Natalia Vetlitskaya, who turned 50 in the fall of 2014, was her conscious decision.

The birth of a daughter

Vetlitskaya decided to radically change her life after the birth of her daughter Ulyana in 2004. According to a source close to the singer, she wanted to terminate her pregnancy. She was persuaded to leave the child by producer Viktor Yudin, who became last years her right hand and close friend. The name of the father of the child, Vetlitskaya, has not been made public to this day.

New life in Spain

In addition, after the birth of her daughter, the pop diva decided to leave not only the stage, but also Russia. When Ulyana was four years old, they permanently moved to live in sunny Spain.

Today, Natasha tries not to get into the field of view of journalists, she is raising her daughter and does not like to comment on her past. Although there were also many interesting events in her personal life - for example, a ten-day marriage to Yevgeny Belousov, an affair with the domestic oligarch Kerimov (who, as journalists said, gave her an airplane). But if earlier Vetlitskaya chose exclusively the rich and famous, today she is married to her yoga mentor.

Andrey Gubin

Tramp boy

He was a favorite of schoolgirls, and cassettes with his hits were swept away like hot cakes. His angelic appearance and voice broke more than one girl's heart, and songs such as "The Tramp Boy" or "Winter-Cold" sounded throughout the country.

Everything changed in 2007, when Gubin suddenly disappeared from television screens. It was said that the singer had problems with alcohol on the basis of unrequited love for a girl. And someone even claimed that he had left Russia. To clarify the situation, you need to go back far into the past.

First album

His musical career began in the late eighties, not without the support of his father, Viktor Viktorovich Gubin, a former researcher and cartoonist, and by that time the vice president of the Russian Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange, the owner of several recording studios.

Andrei's first professional album was released only in 1995, after Gubin met the famous musician Leonid Agutin. This album was called the debut song of the singer - "The Tramp Boy" and very quickly conquered the tops of all popularity ratings.

sudden disappearance

Nevertheless, after his unprecedented rise in the second half of the nineties, Andrei suddenly disappeared from sight. The peak of his popularity came in 2000, when Andrei made tours not only in the cities of Russia, but also in the United States, Israel, Germany, Azerbaijan, Latvia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. After that, Gubin no longer gave new concerts, although he released another new album and a collection of his best songs.

Father's death

recession creative activity Andrei is undoubtedly associated with the deteriorating health of his father, who not only helped his son get into the world of show business, but also constantly supported him, largely guiding his career as a singer. After all, Andrei, according to the reviews of his colleagues, was distinguished by a very gentle character and needed paternal control.

The death of Viktor Viktorovich in 2007 led to the virtual cessation of his son's creative activity. For some time, by inertia, fans were interested in the ups and downs of their hero, and then slowly began to forget him.

Disease

Then rumors spread that Andrei was diagnosed with the disease. nervous system which caused constant severe pain in the face. Doctors helped to overcome the spiritual crisis. He says that he was treated twice in the neurosis clinic.

Now

Today Andrei is already over 40. The ex-idol leads a reclusive life in Moscow, has noticeably recovered, but still dreams of returning to the stage.

“I look bad now, so I don’t perform. If I get into shape, I will definitely perform, but I'm not ready yet, - says the singer. “I write music all the time, I compose poetry, but for myself, I train my soul.”

Popularity

Alexander Aivazov is known to the general public as Sasha Aivazov as a pop singer of the 90s, who then sang a hit about "Lilies" and "Moon Butterfly". A popular but critically underestimated singer, Sasha Aivazov became famous back in 1989. Then his first hit sounded - "Lily". The image of a romantic teenager singing sincere and simple love songs was confirmed by the first two albums: “Don't be sad” and “Where are you?”.

The superhit “I beg you, don’t cry” becomes, as it were, a farewell to the singer’s teenage period. The song brings the matured Aivazov all-Russian popularity, which is soon confirmed by the third album. It comes out at the end of 1996, and in it Sasha already acts as a composer. "Moon Butterfly", "Time River", "It's Just a Game" are the undisputed hits of the latest release.

In general, the disc turns out to be very successful due to hit melodies, lightness, excitement of performance and a very colorful synthesis of flamenco, rockabilly and pop music. Yes, and the matured and matured Alexander himself appears in the guise of a kind of macho, attractive to fans, in no way resembling the lyrically touching Sasha of past years.

In 1998, fashionable "remixers", in particular Roman Ryabtsev, DJ Valdai, make dance versions of "Moon Butterfly". The artist himself has a creative crisis - having found his own style in "Moon Butterfly", Aivazov again embarked on experiments. And in the end, he turned into an ordinary pop singer, only, unlike many colleagues, he no longer promotes himself on television and radio.

His new hit "I'll Solve You", which appeared in the fall of 1998, also did not impress. And in 1999, Alexander Aivazov, alas, who did not develop the success of "Moon Butterfly", unfortunately for the fans, leaves the charts.

Alcoholism

The artist never hid: with alcohol, he rarely happens on “you”. Aivazov liked to sit with friends over a little white bottle and almost never refused a glass or two at social events. Gradually, the habit grew into a serious addiction. The singer, who was under a degree, completely forgot about his former popularity and almost lost his family.

A year ago, Sasha's wife, Irina, left with her three-year-old son Nikita. She was tired of enduring her husband's drunkenness. To regain his wife's trust, the 41-year-old singer went to a drug treatment clinic for treatment.

“I drank to the point that every day I lie under droppers,” Alexander said then. - I myself am to blame for everything! But if Ira sends a lawyer, I will not sign any documents. I do not want to divorce her, I will fight for love. I realized everything and I want to fix everything. If she forgives me, I will never touch alcohol again in my life.

Rehabilitation at the Marshak Narcological Clinic

In the hospital, Aivazov courageously fought his addiction. All so that his beloved wife and son are near. The thought that he would eventually lose his family was unthinkable to him.

Every morning in the hospital, he began with an outdoor jog in the hospital park and with yoga classes in the ward. Then a lot of rehabilitation procedures were carried out with him, conversations with a psychologist. In the end, everything worked out! Sasha stopped drinking and managed to save his family. Now he lives happily and is engaged in creativity. True, his popularity has gone forever.

Successful in everything

Not all women who sold clothes and cosmetics in tents in the 90s became famous singers and owners of their own serious business. Irina Saltykova succeeded in both - in turn.

Since childhood, Irina has been a purposeful and independent child. In addition to school, she was engaged in a circle of cutting and sewing, was fond of knitting, went to training in rhythmic gymnastics.

Unsuccessful marriage

In 1986, a fateful meeting took place in Irina's life with her future husband Viktor Saltykov. Victor was struck by the beauty and charm of Irina. They got married, and a year later their daughter Alice was born.

Their marriage did not last long. According to the singer, this was due to Victor's addiction to alcohol. After breaking up with her husband, Irina went into business, but the profits were barely enough to live on, and then Saltykova decided to return to the stage and start a solo career.

Solo career

After the release of the video "Grey Eyes", Irina was known by the whole country. She was immediately dubbed a sex symbol and a new rising star. With each new song, the singer only strengthened her popularity.

She has six albums in total, and the third, "Alice", she dedicated to her daughter. Irina's acting career was also quite successful: having played in the films "Brother-1, -2", she received critical acclaim.

Business

Now Irina is successfully running a business, she has a beauty and style house "Irina Saltykova", her own boutique and beauty salon. Little is known about the singer's personal life: she has a beloved man, but who he is, the singer keeps a secret. Songs remained in her life as a pleasant hobby.

Good start

Sergey's songs became popular in the early 90s. They bribed the audience with special energy. Surely everyone sang in karaoke "Do not offend, groom, a young girl." It all started in Moscow back in 1972.

A simple Moscow boy who graduated from a mechanical and construction technical school did not even dream of becoming a star. However, fate gave him a ticket to the world of music. It all happened thanks to a chance acquaintance with the poet Alexander Shaganov in 1988.

He became the producer of a young talented performer. In addition, Alexander had the necessary acquaintances on television. Thanks to this, Sergey got into the Morning Star competition, although he always sang only by ear. The first songs were generally rehearsed to the accordion. Of course, he had a desire to learn musical notation, but he was too hooligan guy. He was expelled from the music school for bad behavior.

Popularity

Since the beginning of 1991, Sergei has been successfully recording new hits, giving concerts and going on tour. A few years later, the young singer quarrels with producer Shaganov and leaves him.

Igor Azarov becomes Sergey's new producer. The album "Walk-walk" is released. The singer begins to work in the style of Western music of the 50s and 60s. Notable performers such as Elvis Presley, Paul Anka, Luis Prima influenced his works. During this period, the singer, who was losing popularity, even made peace with Alexander Shaganov. The third album "Like the First Time" included several songs on his poems. However, Chumakov's attempt to perform Western music failed. The album completely failed, and Chumakov disappeared from the screens.

Sergey Chumakov, 2012

Leaving the stage

It was rumored that Alla Pugacheva helped Chumakov both get on stage and leave it. Like, the song “Do not offend, groom”, which glorified Chumakov, was originally intended for the then favorite of the Diva, Sergei Chelobanov. For this, Pugacheva was offended and "closed" Chumakov's path to show business.

“Alla Pugacheva kindly invited me to sing in her Christmas Meetings,” says Chumakov. - Immediately after that, offers of tours rained down on me. As for the song, I didn't know that Shaganov first wrote it for Chelobanov and that Chelobanov had already sung it. Therefore, when Pugacheva told me: “Sergey, don’t sing this song again,” he was indignant. After all, the song became popular in my performance. I answered Alla Borisovna: “How can I not sing? What should I answer people: what did you forbid me to sing or have I lost my memory? And he continued to perform it. But I do not think that I disappeared from the screens because of this. I just couldn’t pay such huge money for broadcasts, as Pugacheva or Kirkorov did.”

Return

Today, Sergei is happily married to a woman who supports him in everything. He noticeably prettier and is again eager to fight. He started recording songs and is even preparing to release a new album in the near future.

Group Demo

Peak of popularity

Any school disco of the late nineties could not do without the hits of the Demo group. Alexandra Zvereva, the soloist of the group, never had outstanding vocal abilities. But this was not required of her.

Parting with the producer

In 2002, Zvereva and her producer Vadim Polyakov terminated the contract with ARS. Demo clips began to disappear from the air of music channels. And then the soloist announced that she was expecting a baby, and since then we have not heard anything about Demo.

Sasha Zvereva, 2010

Demo now

It turned out that the Demo group still exists, only in a different line-up. Well, Sasha Zvereva from time to time records solo songs, and also sews clothes for her brand.

“We did not stop touring, I traveled around cities and countries even in the last months of pregnancy,” Sasha Zvereva’s mother says twice. – Over the years, Demo has released 7 albums. The group is not worried about being off the air: the tour continues, there is money for life. My main income is my man, and Demo is more of a hobby. We live apart, we have a club of fans and we believe that people will separate the wheat from the chaff and understand what is done artificially to make money, and what is done from the heart.”

Former popularity

Previously, not a single big concert, not a single solemn ceremony took place without performances by Tanya Ovsienko. But today, she is completely forgotten.

Once upon a time, the famous singer Tatyana Ovsienko had everything: money, career, fame. But one day she traded all this for the happy smile of a child. At one time, in pursuit of millions, the singer did not think about children until one moment.

Foster-son

One day, fate gave her an amazing meeting. Once Tatyana gave a concert in an orphanage and drew attention to a little boy, Igor. Later, the singer was told that the parents abandoned the child when he was diagnosed with a neglected heart defect. According to the educators, Igor was not a tenant, he needed a complex operation, but she had orphanage there was no money.

And then Tatyana seemed to light up, she realized that she could save this child. She immediately went to one of the best Moscow clinics, agreed on an operation, paid fabulous money for it, and Igor was successfully operated on. When the boy recovered from the operation, Tatyana took him to her home.

Ovsienko issued guardianship to him, and Igor officially became her son. In order to cook cereal for the baby and change diapers, Tatyana abandoned her job and lived with her unloved husband Vladimir Dubovnitsky for 18 years so as not to injure the child's psyche with a divorce. She would probably still share a bed with him if he had not found another and announced that he was leaving.

Tatyana Ovsienko, 2015

New love

Now Tatyana is preparing for a new marriage. Her chosen one was businessman Alexander Merkulov. The proposal was made quite a long time ago, but the celebration had to be postponed: the fact is that Merkulov spent 3.5 years in a pre-trial detention center under investigation. All this time, Tatyana morally supported her beloved, wrote letters, carried programs, and also gave 20 concerts a month to earn money for lawyers. In early June, Alexander was found not guilty. The 47-year-old singer met him at the courthouse. And now nothing prevents the lovers from getting married. The wedding is tentatively scheduled for the fall.

famous hit

The project, created by the singer, composer and arranger Vladimir Volenko, became widely known in the mid-nineties. Then the album "Granite pebble" was released.

In 1997, Ladybug became one of the first projects of a new large audio and production company, ORT Records, headed by general producer Iosif Prigogine. On the label of this company, two more discs of the group "My Queen" and "Woman of Dreams" are released. In 1999, another success of the project was Leonid Azbel's song "And the ship goes up the Volga", which immediately falls into the category of the second hit after "Granite Pebble". A disc with this track, as well as several songs by Elena Vaenga written for " ladybug”, published by Grand Records.

Line-up change

In 2000, the composition of the group changed radically, and Inna Anzorova was replaced by Natalia Poleshchuk, who, for her excessive love for sweets, Vladimir Volenko immediately assigns the pseudonym Shokoladkina. In 2004, a daughter, Dasha, was born in the family of Vladimir Volenko and Natalya Shokoladkina, and in 2008, Vladimir Jr. Therefore, during this period, the group rarely appears in the media space, but continues to actively give concerts. The last bright creative decision was the wedding duet "The First Dance of the Young", where the Volenko couple involved their own children in filming the video.

Vladimir Volenko, 2012

End of popularity

In recent years, the group has not been on television, but BK continues to perform and record albums.

Here is how Vladimir comments on the situation: “I am not an oligarch, not a “gay” and not a Jew. I am a simple Russian citizen, a talented and hardworking musician, but today this is not enough. Today, to be in the public eye, you must either have millions of investments, or belong to a certain clan. You can also be on a contract with some serious company, where they will immediately let you know that the channel or producer is everything, and you are nothing. I, as a person and as an artist, preferred independence, therefore, today we are not on the blue screens. But it doesn't bother me."

As for earnings, the group has enough to live on, but, unfortunately, not enough for development. However, Vladimir does not really regret his fate. He is happily married and has two children.

From the orphanage to the stars, or the Orenburg orphan

"Tender May" is a cult musical group of the late 80s - early 90s. The first teenage group in the USSR was born in boarding school No. 2 in the city of Orenburg. The music director was the author of all the songs Sergey Kuznetsov, who led the musical circle in the orphanage. And the visiting card of the group (in which several line-ups will later change) and the idol of millions of fans is 15-year-old orphanage Yura Shatunov.

“Thanks to the fact that I spent my childhood in an orphanage, I was able to save myself and not go astray. Because in the orphanage they don’t like greedy people, they don’t like sneaks, that is, they don’t like weak people. There, in order to live in a team, you need to adhere to certain laws. Otherwise, you will be kicked out of the group. And the same thing happened in adulthood. But I was already ready for it. I cannot communicate with people from the point of view - "you are nobody, but I am a star." First of all, you need to think that this person today may be nobody, but in a year he can become much cooler than you. Although if you come across unpleasant people, then I just don’t talk to them, no matter how high they are. I say: “Sorry, but I can’t, I don’t want to. I don't feel comfortable being around you."

The first album "White Roses" was recorded in February 1988 on a household tape recorder and sold by Kuznetsov to a recording kiosk for 30 rubles. A few months later, the recording came to Andrey Razin (at that time the administrator of the Mirage group), who pulled off an incredible combination for those times and moved Shatunov, Kuznetsov and several other orphanage boys to Moscow, where he organized a studio for gifted children "LM". In January 1989, the clip “White Roses” was shown for the first time on the Central Television in “Morning Post”, after which a real all-Union boom began - the songs of “Tender May” sounded everywhere, and millions of fans simply went crazy for the blue-eyed young prince with a charming dimple on his cheek . The group collected the largest concert venues throughout the country and set a record for the number of concerts per day (sometimes there were 5-6 per day).

Solo voyage and years of oblivion

However, despite the overwhelming success and popularity, in early 1992 the group broke up. 18-year-old Shatunov is leaving Andrei Razin and is trying to build a solo career. For a while, he was even supported by Alla Borisovna Pugacheva, who invited Yura to speak at her "Christmas Meetings" in December 1992. But, despite the first solo album “You Remember” released by the PolyGram Russia recording studio in 1994 and several clips filmed, it was not easy to stay afloat. Finding himself in a difficult life situation, Shatunov leaves to live and work in Germany, where he studies as a sound engineer and leaves the stage for several years.

“At the age of 25-30, I began to look for myself. Then I wanted a lot at once, but I had to understand what I really really needed. And not to look at others: but these young guys, they drive good cars, with beautiful girls etc. That is, at first you look at them and think: how great, I also want to, and then you realize that this is not cool at all, this beautiful life is not so beautiful, it’s better somehow differently. And this is the "other way" to find. At that time, I didn’t work with anyone, even as a system administrator. He worked a lot in the studio, but did not engage in his own work and his career. And now I can one hundred percent certainty to say that that step was truly correct and true, because now I have everything and even more: my beloved wife, my beloved son and daughter, I have a place to live, I have a favorite job, I have everything. I am a happy man".

Yuri Shatunov, 2012

The return of the idol

In the early 2000s, Shatunov nevertheless returned to Russia to continue his solo career, and released several albums one after another: “Remember May”, “Leaves are falling”, “If you want, do not be afraid”, “Record my voice”, "I believe". In September 2009, the singer went on a big tour of Russian cities in support of feature film"Tender May". And a year later, Yura took part in the filming of the series "Happy Together", where he played himself. To date, Shatunov continues to record songs and remains one of the most sought-after artists in the reserves.

“I visit Russia much more often than at home, in Germany. But this does not in the least prevent me from communicating with my family, seeing children and educating them. There is Skype, there is the Internet, there is a phone, after all. And then, there is a plane: I sat down, two hours - and at home.

Found personal happiness in Germany

With his future wife, lawyer Svetlana, Shatunov met in Germany in December 2000: “They often ask: do you believe in love at first sight and is this even possible? Maybe. This is exactly how it happened to me. It was enough just to look at each other - that's all.

They met for a long time and decided to get married only in January 2007, six months after Svetlana gave birth to her son Dennis. Six years later, on March 13, 2013, their second child, daughter Estella, was born in Bad Homburg. As Yuri admits, there are very few close people in his life: “There are actually few people I trust. In fact, they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Firstly, this is Svetlana - my wife. Secondly, Arkady, my director, with whom I have been working together for more than 27 years. Well, and a couple of guys, friends, time-tested.

In September last year, Shatunov celebrated his 41st birthday, he continued to live and work in two countries, having a Russian passport and a residence permit in Germany. In Frankfurt am Main, Yuri has a house, wife and children, but in the summer they often come to rest with their whole family in Russia, in particular, in Sochi, where Shatunov has a large house, bought back in the days of Tender May.

Star from Vykhino

In the second half of the 90s, when her main hits, “Ladoshki” and “Give Me Music,” came out, wild popularity fell on the head of 25-year-old Svetlana. The then young students of theater universities Maxim Averin and Leonid Barats starred in the video for the song "Ladoshki". In 1997, the album "Ladoshki" became the best-selling album of the year, while the singer herself received $ 1,350 from those millions of sales. As Svetlana admitted, having come to conquer Moscow from Krasnoyarsk, she lived in a rented apartment in Vykhino, dressed in the same Vykhino market, went by metro and hardly saw any money. At the same time, three albums were released and the tour went on continuously.

“After the release of the third album, I honestly asked my producer Arkady Yurkevich: “Where is the money?” He explained that all these two years we paid off debts for the first album. But I knew all the debts from his words, I believed him, because we had known each other for a very long time. We had a father-daughter relationship, I lived for some time in his family and took all the words at face value. To the point that even when they gave me some gifts on tour (and then it was fashionable for men to remove a massive chain from their necks and put them on you), I brought everything to him, I didn’t leave myself an air balloon. But 1998 was a very difficult year for me, my father became very ill, his treatment cost a lot of money. And there was no one to pay except me. And against the backdrop of this difficult situation, I raised the issue of fees.

Gang fights and the death of a loved one

When a conflict broke out with the producer, fun times came for the singer. Arkady set the bandits on the former ward, who began to demand from her the return of non-existent debts. There was no help from anyone, including from her husband, whom Svetlana married at the age of 18. Tired of dragging the whole cart on herself, Svetlana divorced her husband and, with grief in half, finally broke up with the producer. She tried to work on her own, but only lasted a couple of years.

“Everywhere you had to pay, every broadcast on radio and television, any talk show. I couldn't do it. In addition, to be honest: at some point I felt disgusted to entertain drunken youngsters. Criminal situations were through the roof on tour. For example, in Tyumen I perform in an expensive institution, my brothers come: the one looking around the city has a birthday, I need a singer for the holiday. Moreover, they came with money, but at the same time in the amount of 12 people and with weapons. And where was it to go? In the same Tyumen, I was once stolen from the gangway of an airplane.

Then Roerich met the main love of her life - the commander of the Grozny OMON Sergei, who was killed in 2001.

“He then surrounded me with such love and care, gave me such a feeling of guardianship and security that I understood: God forbid, they will offend me in some city tomorrow, in a day this city will not be. The man was not a cool oligarch, he was not very rich, but on the first March 8 he was presented with a car touchingly tied with bows. We were together for three years, but, unfortunately, I did not manage to give birth to him.

Glory

This tall brunette with a low charming voice and with a fabulous name Kai is another star of the forgotten nineties. Success came to Kai Metov in 1992, after the release of his comic song “Mom! I want to be a pioneer." And then there was the insanely popular hit "Position No. 2".

In the late 90s, Kai went into the shadows - he continued to tour, release albums, but his songs were less and less heard on the radio.

Today you can’t see him on the screens or hear him on the radio, but the period of fading popularity passed painlessly for Metov.

Kai Metov, 2014

Business

Thanks to the entrepreneurial streak, the artist managed to change the field of activity in time - he opened his own night club. He named it after himself: "Kai Metov - Metropol". Kai tried to produce cosmetics, which, due to its dubious quality, could not gain a foothold in the market. In addition, the former singer opened a production center. Love for one's beloved manifested itself here too: the center bears the name of the singer.

And in 2009, the artist prepared a surprise for his fans and released an unusual album "What would you do, dear, if it weren't for me ...".

Success and recognition

Once Shura, aka Alexander Medvedev, amazed the public with his own image and was one of the most discussed personalities on the national stage. The bright blonde with no teeth was more likely to yell songs than sing, and behaved, to put it mildly, strangely.

However, this only helped many to believe that he had talent. Popularity became too heavy a psychological burden for Shura, he became addicted to drugs, which almost became fatal for him.

Terrible disease and drug addiction

The singer fell ill with cancer, but managed to overcome both ailments by undergoing chemotherapy and treatment for drug addiction. Of course, I had to move away from the past image. But Shura clearly did not want to look like a normal person.

Shura, 2014

Return

The singer inserted artificial teeth for himself, several times lay under the scalpel of plastic surgeons and returned to the stage in an even more strange way - openly homosexual. Nevertheless, he has his audience to this day.

Carier start

Apina began her career in the Combination group and became popular thanks to her. Then the singer began a solo career and gave the audience a lot of memorable songs - for example, "The knot will be tied", "Electric train".

However, if you look even further into the past, then the story of Alena Apina's creative career can be compared with the story of Cinderella. Arriving from Saratov to Moscow, the young singer had to spend the night at the station. Already a soloist famous group"Combination", wandered through rented apartments, which were robbed more than once. She lost, found and lost again, as if fate itself tested her for strength. And yet, Alena managed to catch luck by the tail, and quite deservedly, like Cinderella, she received an award - public recognition, fame, her beloved husband and daughter.

Alena Apina with her daughter Ksyusha, 2012

Now

Years passed, popularity faded, and I had to pay attention to the affairs of life - family and children. Alena Apina is the happy wife of producer Boris Iratov and the caring mother of Ksyusha's daughter. Fans of the once popular singer were worried about where their favorite disappeared, who no longer gives concerts and does not appear on the screens.

Alena has repeatedly said that she made the decision to end her career as a singer without difficulty, feeling that her family needed it.

Not so long ago, the star decided to change roles. Now Apina teaches music at the Odintsovo gymnasium humanitarian institute where her daughter Ksyusha studies.

“The main reason why I went to work with children is that neither my daughter nor her friends understood what music was at all. They listen and love the music that sounds in iTunes and CD players. But music is much more and more interesting! They did not even know how vast and beautiful the world of music is, because they were not familiar with the music of Bach, Mozart, Tchaikovsky. I really wanted to introduce them to the work of great composers. Music is huge world which you need to have time to get acquainted with in childhood.

I do not have any pedagogical and innovative methods, some invented supersystems for working with children, but I have a great desire to teach children to listen to music. Of course, it is impossible to teach to love music, but to be an active listener, to understand what you are listening to, to understand music is a great skill even for an adult. And this must be learned from childhood.

By and large, communication with children is very interesting, but troublesome, because after all this is not my main job. And my main work, as it was, and remains - these are concerts, tours, these are recordings of songs, this is participation in television projects and also an author's program on the radio, again about music.

Carier start

In the early nineties, Marina Volkova, who looked like a fashionable doll, took the stage name Barbie. She sang several songs, including the hit: “You dye your eyelashes bright blue. You are waiting for beautiful love, but it is still not there ... ”And then she disappeared from the stage.

unexpected departure

Producers Lyubov Voropayeva and Viktor Dobronravov indignantly explained to curious journalists: “She had a stellar future, a career. And she got married and terminated the contract. Fans quickly forgot the pretty starlet.

Marina admits that the producers simply cut off her oxygen, did not allow her to communicate with anyone, be friends with the boys. In addition to working 24 hours a day and being alone, there was nothing in her life. On this basis, the girl quarreled with the producers and terminated her contract. Then she tried to build a solo career on her own, which she did not succeed.

Marina Volkova, 2013

It is a pity that this was the fate of a young promising and talented girl. Expressive, emotional, with wild energy and a positive attitude, she brought joy to the audience. Marina did not work out with her personal life either: she still has neither a family nor higher education, and she works as a secretary to the CEO, receiving, according to her, a very average salary.

Life is high

She started in the Women's Council group with Svetlana Lazareva and Alena Vitebskaya in the midst of perestroika. But songs about social problems quickly became boring to the public, and the group's popularity faded away. But Lada was not going to give up. And when an opportunity arose in the person of Leonid Velichkovsky, the composer of the Technologiya group, she did not fail to take advantage of it. And got into the top ten. “Girl-Night” and “You Need to Live High” are the songs by which Lada Dance began to be recognized by sight. In fact, the maiden name of the singer Volkova, but the sonorous name and sonorous pseudonym came in handy. In 1993, her debut Night Album was released.

Kar-men and kar-women

What was her subject of a quarrel with Velichkovsky, has long been covered with a touch of time, only for Lada it became another challenge. And she did it. And even though for a start she sang as a backing vocalist with Philip Kirkorov, and a little later for half an hour as an opening act for the Kar-men group, but these were frontmen of the 90s. There is also a bike, thanks to which she became successful: allegedly, due to the lack of her songs, Lada stole Lika Star's phonograms from the studio. Who will check it now? But then she lit up so that Sergei Lemokh announced after the performance: “It was Lada! And everything behind her is dance! ”, Pointing to the girls on the backup dancer.

It's all jazz

The narrow confines of the Russian stage soon seemed to Lada not enough. Moreover, she always has a trump card up her sleeve - her voice. Bold, bright, jazzy. She regularly begins to travel to Europe, they give her melodies German composers, but this did not lead to serious contracts abroad. Among the brightest achievements is a performance at the Popkomm 95 festival. But her love for jazz and the desire to realize herself in this field haunt her. In the album "Fantasy", which she recorded with the orchestra of Oleg Lundstrem, Dance included foreign jazz compositions. But attempts to be realized as a jazz singer had to be interrupted again. In 1997, Lada's son Ilya was born. Two years later - daughter Liza. A few months later, the personal situation was aggravated by a divorce. Lada broke up with Pavel Svirsky, the father of her children.

Lada Dance, 2012

I myself

“After the divorce, I was left alone, without a livelihood, with two children in my arms,” Lada admitted. Lisa was nine months old, her son was two years older. All I had was a name. Every day I had to think about what to feed the children today. When I got pregnant, I immediately stopped performing. And then again she was forced to start working closely, giving almost 30 concerts a month. As a result, she not only raised her children, but also built a house of 750 square meters at her own expense. The pregnant woman ran with projects, as I remember - horror, I would never take it up again, but now I am an ace in construction. But if I hadn’t plowed then and all these years, I wouldn’t have been able to give the children anything - neither travel, nor teachers, nor going to the theater, nor entertainment ... I myself provided for the children until they began to go to school, that’s just then the ex-husband, their father, began to help a little. For more than 10 years, Pavel did not really remember them. And then suddenly decided to connect ... "

One more path

In 2004, Lada has a new stage in her life. She is invited to play the role of one of the four friends in the TV series "Balzac age, or All men are theirs ...". Now she is also an actress.

“My heroine is outwardly cool, but inside she is very vulnerable, dependent on relationships. Everything proves something, fights with someone. I'm calmer. I don't fight for anyone. I have a favorite profession that does not require active actions from me.

Everything personal problems Dance focused on children

“Ilya and Lisa were never just children for me, rather brother and sister. And for them I am a senior comrade. Maybe that's why it's easier for me to understand their problems. I don't always keep up with their hobbies. Now children from the Internet pick up a lot. The son learned to dance so much that he created his own group in the style of breakdancing. They participate in competitions, post videos on YouTube. Thanks to the Internet, Lisa has learned how to do make-up better than me. In our family, everyone has artistic abilities. I myself have been drawing well since childhood, my daughter graduated from Serov's school.

And they also have a serious school. They get so tired that on weekends they only want to lie at home. The maximum that they agree to is to go to the cinema with me. Sometimes we get out to the Istra region, 300 kilometers from Moscow, we drive snowmobiles along the river. Three years ago I became interested in hunting, my son also became interested. My daughter is creative, with good taste, I dream that she would study in London as a designer, architect or actress. But the boy needs a good legal or financial education. If they want to get it abroad, I won't mind. And I will move to them then ... "

Both the reaper and the player on the pipe

“My income is show business. I am satisfied with the fees and conditions there. Cinema is a status, a different level of perception of me and my second passion besides the stage. But it's a hell of a job. Although very interesting and captivating. It's nice that in Lately he finally began to pay a little financially. Jazz remains my hobby, I sing it for the elite. You can’t go far with jazz, but I have to feed my family.”

But Lada's music alone is not enough. She is the owner of the Flawless Personnel Agency.

“Once upon a time, my business began with the search for a nanny for children - a recruitment agency. I changed several nannies when I decided to take the initiative and help others at the same time. And so my business was born. It started with 20 people, now we have 200 specialists in our staff - governesses, housekeepers, maids, cooks, gardeners, landscape designers, drivers. On average, the monthly salary of a nanny and a governess is 60-70 thousand rubles, housekeepers - 60 thousand, drivers - 50-150 thousand, cooks - 70-120 thousand. The agency has existed for 10 years, and its name "Flawless Staff" speaks for itself.

If I had been given a good education at one time, I would have been a developer of ideas, a creative person. I love everything extraordinary. I used to sew, knit, even make shoes. Now I have a team that fulfills my plans. And the love for extraordinary things has turned into a hobby: I like to look for unusual things all over the world. I collect old furniture, jewelry, bijouterie, clothes. I would probably open a shop where I would sell them. But... it's a pity. Therefore, I wear things myself, and furniture and objects decorate my house and feel great there.

Meet a cool person

“Yes, officially I am not married. But I do not think that this is happiness. In general, I would dissuade all women from getting married in order not to be lonely. This is a complete utopia. Women are in a hurry to get married out of fear that they will poke a finger at them or to show others that, they say, I managed to do it. If I meet a person who is just as cool, who feels good with himself, but for some reason he wants to be with me as well, I will get married.”

“On the same site I created my social network. Maybe not as large, but, believe me, it will have enough users so that I can run for president. (Laughs.) And most importantly, they are all my like-minded people. I regularly hold competitions among the “non-boring” ones, and every year I raffle tickets to the shores of the Indian Ocean, to Ceylon.

In addition, a few years ago I came up with such a phenomenon as "bronka". I don't set a concert date in advance and don't spend a lot of money on announcements like most of our artists do. There is a risk that the costs will not pay off. I ask on social networks who is ready to come to the concert. And when a certain number of spectators is recruited in a particular city, we together set the date and place of the performance. I generally have a warm and close relationship with the audience. Therefore, they often give me fish, gingerbread honey. They just know what I love. So at my performances, people with a bouquet in one hand and a bream in the other are a normal phenomenon.

MP

Another thing “for the soul” is work in the municipal assembly of the Vykhino-Zhulebino district. I live near the Zhulebinsky forest. In May 2011, on the outskirts of this massif, the construction of a snow melting station began intensively. I think those who live near such facilities will understand me. The stench and harm to health from these items can hardly be overestimated. In the face of real danger, a initiative group. They found out that the construction was being carried out illegally, they called, wrote, shouted - it was useless. He got angry in earnest - he organized two rallies, shot a scandalous clip with Seryoga Minaev, posted it on the Internet, called for help from friends in social network. Result: the mayor got through, and he personally canceled the construction.

Vladimir Markin, 2013

What happened

In the early 90s, his songs "Lilac Fog" and "I'm ready to kiss the sand" sounded from every window. True, then Markin disappeared from television screens.

Now

For the last 20 years, Markin has combined at least two specialties - an artist and director of the MPEI Palace of Culture, and he also produces tea.

“The idea to produce tea was born a few years ago, when I first came to Sri Lanka. It was there that I realized how foolish our brother-buyer in stores is, calling Ceylon tea something that, in fact, is not tea. Since this is my favorite drink since childhood, I decided to delve into the issue of production and organize the supply of goods to our country. I did not buy plantations, but I met with the leading producers. All tea grown in Ceylon can be divided into 27 grades. Grades are obtained from one sheet, but differ from each other in appearance and to taste. Combining grades from different plantations in various proportions, blends (cocktails) are obtained. A special blend for me and developed by Ceylon professional tea tasters. The result is a whole range of products. And the recipe is always strictly followed. Then the tea is delivered to Russia.”

I was lucky, I have a company name, so the name of the product turned out to be branded. I called my product - "Markin tea".

It’s almost impossible to enter retail chains with a quality product, I spent two years on it. In the end, you have to choose, either you produce real tea and you are not in stores, or forget about quality and trade in straw. So I was either jokingly or seriously offered in the largest retail chain. Therefore, my tea cannot be found in stores, but you can always order it on my website markin.ru.

It may sound immodest, but Mireille Mathieu drinks only my tea, and more than once I personally delivered it to her in Paris.

In addition to tea, I also produce Arabica coffee in the same way, and I import raw materials from Colombia and Brazil.

What happened

In 2000, when he was 17, he released the album "Who are you?". The disc became popular, especially among teenagers. Became one of the best-selling albums in Russia with a circulation of more than 1 million copies. Many, however, associated this success with good progress. The singer's father is producer Alexander Tolmatsky. Then another disc came out, and then Decl disappeared. They say he quarreled with his father.

Decl (Kirill Tolmatsky), 2010

What now

“I am working on a triple album Decillilon, two parts have already been released - Dancehall Mania and MXXXIII. Soon I want to go to Jamaica for a few weeks, to work - there, many people perceive positively what I do. Until recently, I worked in Mallorca, and about 2.5 thousand people came to my concert, although no one knows me there.

In Moscow, of course, I also sing. But the performances here are not as profitable as abroad: there are many acquaintances, friends - there you will make a discount, there a discount ... However, I do not lose heart. He played in the play "Here and Now" at the Praktika Theater. I read my poems. There was also film experience: he starred in a short film with Elena Muromtseva. I wanted to understand how I would look in the frame. I also participate in the competition held by the International Space Academy AASA. Its winner will go into space. I really want to be chosen. I am a fan of this business. I also have computer programs where I control the shuttle. I also believe in UFOs - it's stupid to think that we are alone in the Universe!

Our Tanya is crying loudly

Perhaps the most successful of all the stars of the 90s. Despite everything, Tatyana managed to stay on Olympus. To this day, she releases albums with enviable regularity, gives concerts and participates in the highest-rated television projects.

But, of course, this is nothing compared to her popularity twenty years ago. The whole country roared at the TV screens when Bulanova in a thin voice dragged on "Sleep, little son ..." with tears frozen in her eyes. Tatyana was generally considered the most sentimental singer (until the appearance of Zara, who cries all the time).

First album

Bulanova's musical career began with a meeting with Nikolai Tagrin, the head of the Summer Garden group. Together with this group, Tatyana recorded her first compositions, and in 1990 she released the album "25 Carnations". By the way, Tagrin became the first husband of the singer and the father of her eldest son.

But, perhaps, Bulanova's finest hour was 1995, when the album "Strange Meeting" was released, written by the poet Sergei Patrushev. It was for this disc that the hits "Lullaby" and "Tell me the truth, chieftain" were recorded. With these songs, Tatyana won the "Song of the Year". At the same time, Tatyana Bulanova and the Summer Garden turned out to be leaders in the number of cassettes sold - more than 200 thousand copies. In 1996, another hit came out - "My Clear Light". And here is another wave of popularity, "Song of the Year" and "Golden Gramophone". Then there was participation in "Old songs about the main thing", full houses in the GCC "Russia", shooting in the TV series "Streets of Broken Lights" and "Gangster Petersburg", recording soundtracks for them.

Sudden disappearance from the air

In the early 2000s, in addition to creating new records, Bulanova, together with DJs, makes remixes of her golden hits. However, on television, she begins to have problems. According to rumors, the leadership of Channel One was offended by Tatyana because she signed an agreement with the ARS company. The girl was no longer invited to new TV concerts, and old records were simply cut out. Despite this, on November 23, 2004, Bulanova was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.

In 2005, Tatyana divorced Nikolai Tagrin, and in October she married football player Vladislav Radimov. On March 8, 2007, their son Nikita is born. In the same year, Bulanova released her autobiography "The Territory of a Woman", starred in the film "Love can still be ...".

In 2008, Bulanova was invited to the Superstar 2008 project, where she reached the final. She hosts the program "This is not a man's business" on the SRT channel. At the same time, her songs continue to collect awards from radio stations.

In 2011, Tatyana won the project "Dancing with the Stars" on the channel "Russia".

Tatyana Bulanova, 2014

Past

25 years ago, at the Song of the Year festival, an unknown girl from an Irkutsk village performed the song Plantain Grass. And the next day I woke up famous. True, most Russians know Alice Mon from the hit "Diamond", which sounded from every iron in the mid-90s. In the early 2000s, the singer disappeared from television screens. Many whispered: "I emigrated to the States." However, Alice Mon still lives in Moscow.

The present

“A couple of years ago I graduated from the University of Culture and Arts. I wanted to try myself in a new path. In addition, there was a mercantile reason to go there. I didn't have a higher education. I studied at one time both at the Pedagogical Institute and at the Polytechnic University, but I never received a diploma anywhere. Now I would really like to take up directing, to show all the skills that I have acquired.

I have a specialty "director of mass performances and festivities." True, so far I test my knowledge only on friends and my performances. I know how to make a real show out of a simple corporate party. Now I'm doing my own big project. This is a kind of musical performance called "A little bit according to Freud." This is a solo concert and theatrical performance in one. There was a person who is ready to support this undertaking.

So this year, I hope I can make it come true. In addition, I like to design interiors and clothes. I love to sew. I sew outfits and give them as gifts, I remake my old clothes. Yes, I do all the housework myself. I can absolutely everything. I just didn't know how to hammer nails. Maybe that means I'm still a fragile woman?

I want to be a grandmother!

“Most recently my son got married. So our family has grown. While the children are looking for themselves in life. Dasha, son's wife, is studying. Earring is engaged in creativity, writes beats and lyrics for rappers. I like that he is doing what he loves. True, while it does not bring much money. So everything, as they say, is on me. Sometimes even my parents help us. So it's hard right now. But I was not against the profession of my son. On the contrary, she constantly told him that you need to find your place, and you can earn good money on it. They do not always pay him as much as they promise. I was also thrown, deceived. But you can't give up. Sometimes you need to be an altruist. Why not? Work for the name, then the name will work for you."

Decided to get married

“In my personal life, too, not everything is so smooth. As they say, "it goes out, then it goes out." The older you get, the more you start to nitpick. The criteria for an ideal man are growing, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find such a man. And it's very hard to change someone. Yes, and it is not necessary. After all, you must accept a person as he is. And it often happens that they can’t accept me like that.

However, a couple of years ago I was again proposed. True, it never came to the registry office. At first, I loved this man very much. He is a pilot, a citizen of Germany. When I saw him, I immediately put a stamp on the man that he was my future husband. At the time of the meeting, he was not divorced. True, he said that he did not live with his wife.

He did not have his own apartment in Moscow, so he lived with me. After a while our living together turned into existence. I began to catch myself thinking that when I lived alone, I was happier. Constant, disassembly, disputes turned the relationship into a nightmare. Although initially they were so important to me.

There was no assault, but there were constant conflicts. I was so tired of this during my life with my first husband that I simply did not want to repeat all this. And if there is no love, what, just live out your life together? I didn't want this. There were gigolos who lived at my expense. But it just infuriates me when I become a wallet for a man. Therefore, such relationships quickly ended.

What happened

In 1992 he released the disc "70th latitude". The album was a huge success, more than half of the songs from it became hits. Osin says: “I sang romantic songs by non-professional authors that no one wanted to release. All my compositions can be compared to home songs with a guitar. These are things that touch because they are written from the heart. Now there are a lot of corrupt authors who write to order. All their writings are about nothing, just rhyming phrases. My songs may not be very literate, but they are real. However, the author of the words of the song “The girl in the machine is crying”, which became the main hit of the album, was Andrey Voznesensky, and the composer of the song “Portrait by Pablo Picasso” was the Polish pianist and composer Wladyslaw Shpilman (Roman Polyansky’s film “The Pianist” is about him).

It was my only chance to be closer to Agnia and not just become a "Sunday dad". Luckily, I have some pedagogical education. I graduated from the Institute for Advanced Studies of Cultural Workers, got the right to lead an amateur ensemble. True, there no one explained to me how to communicate with children. In fact, everything turned out to be very difficult. After all, it is necessary to find a common language with them, to find for everyone individual approach. Children do not forgive mistakes. They can pretend that they have forgiven, but they themselves harbor a grudge. It's hard, of course, but I manage. It was recently said here that I am a drunkard. And as if my wife forbids me to see my daughter because of this. This is complete nonsense! No one would keep me at school and would not let me near the children if I abused alcohol.

The popularity of the singer came in 1997. Thanks to her, everyone began to drink a “cup of coffee” and fell in love with “slanting rains”. Marina began to be invited to all national concerts, she actively toured and wrote one new hit after another. In April 1999, the disc "Photo Album" was released, in 2001 - the album "My Sun, Get Up". And suddenly, at the peak of Khlebnikov's popularity, he disappears...

Path to glory

Marina Khlebnikova was born into a family of radio physicists. But with musical tastes. Her father played the guitar and her mother played the piano.

"I'm self-taught. I was given a mandolin as a child, I learned to play it myself, then I mastered the trophy accordion, and then I learned the guitar, ”said the father of the singer Arnold Sergeevich.

“And when I was a child, I went to a music school, and I so wanted all this to be passed on to my daughter,” added mother Irina Vasilievna.

The wish of the parents came true, and the daughter, despite all the successes in physics, dreamed of the stage since childhood. After school, Marina entered the Gnessin School, where she was taught by Lev Leshchenko, Alexander Gradsky and Joseph Kobzon. Khlebnikova was an excellent student, and therefore, after school, she entered the Gnessin Institute with ease. As a result, Marina Khlebnikova received as many as seven specializations!

“I am a concert performer in the piano class, a soloist of a chamber ensemble, an accompanist, a music school teacher, plus I have three vocal specializations: a soloist, an ensemble soloist and a teacher of pop singing,” Marina tells about herself.

In 1989, while still a student at the institute, Bari Alibasov noticed Marina Khlebnikova and invited her to take the place of the soloist in the Integral group. Then the first more or less fame and first love came to her.

Marina Khlebnikova married Anton Loginov, who, as it turned out later, was just a figurehead. According to rumors, in such a cunning way, Bari Alibasov wanted to keep a young promising singer in his group.

But it did not help. And Khlebnikova quickly divorced her first husband and found herself a better party. The singer married the general director of the recording company Gramophone Records, Mikhail Maidanich. In 1999, their daughter Dominika was born, whom the singer carefully concealed for many years.

“I just didn’t want to “fall out of the cage.” Barik taught me this: an artist must always remain single in order to be as attractive to the public as possible, Khlebnikova said in an interview. - I did not disappear for the duration of the decree, I continued to speak, and no one noticed anything. I'm small, so I put on a wide suit and so went on stage until the 8th month. And already on the 20th day after giving birth, she worked at a concert. Well, she gave birth and gave birth. Who cares?"

Divorce

As an artist, Marina Khlebnikova gained momentum. But in his personal life, everything developed in the opposite direction. Almost immediately after giving birth, the second husband left the singer. From which the singer began to hide her daughter even more carefully.

“If I screamed at every corner: “My husband, such a bastard, left me with the children, beat me again. And here I was with black eyes in the hospital for a month! Save, good people!” Does it look okay? I would not want to disgrace the whole country like that.”

At the same time, Marina found the strength not to interfere with her daughter's communication with ex-husband: “I think that women make a big mistake by not allowing children to meet their own fathers. She doesn't have the worst dad. He helps us, but I don't communicate with him. He and Dominica agree on everything themselves, they put me on notice.”

Disease

“These are the consequences of my illness. Turns out it was a dental cyst. All these years it has been growing and destroying bone tissue, the only sign of its presence was sinusitis, which none of the ENT doctors connected with dentistry. And there were a lot of doctors. Time has passed, and everything has acquired horrifying consequences. When my tooth hurt and the first x-ray was taken, the cyst grew three centimeters, and the bone tissue turned into a sponge.

Because of this, Khlebnikova even found it difficult to sing. Then a series of operations followed, after which, of course, she could not perform. “Why work there, I couldn’t eat, talk. And my teeth hurt, ”the artist admitted.

And yet she tried not to fall out of the cage. In 2012, she performed in Naryan-Mar literally after another operation. Right during the performance, the seam in the mouth parted. What happened after, Marina never told.

Where is she now

Two years ago, Marina Khlebnikova visited the program “So far, everyone is at home”. The singer's father and mother and her daughter Nika were sitting at the table. The men were not around. And for some reason, the question never arose of what the singer is doing now. She has no tours and major concerts. And, as Marina herself admitted more than once, except for singing, she can’t do anything else.

“Here I can do nothing but music. I know well how it works, it's like mathematics, I was taught this for many years. I can still dig the earth, plant trees, flowers. Sometimes I'm so tempted to become a taxi driver - so that no one knows. I love to drive a car, but it's a difficult job. Now I'm thinking: can I do it without a concert? No I can not! As long as I stand, I will sing on stage.

On February 28, Channel One aired the release of the program “Let them talk”, the heroine of which was the star of the 90s, 51-year-old Marina Khlebnikova. In a conversation with host Andrei Malakhov, the singer spoke about difficult relationship with husband. According to the artist, her husband, businessman Mikhail Maidanich, turned out to be a swindler.

“My mistake was that I decided to bring him into my field of activity. He released the album “Cats of My Soul”, but I didn’t get a penny for it, I didn’t know about it either in my sleep or in my spirit. And when I saw later, from which persons and banks he took loans! And then the article “Khlebnikova’s husband stole 500 thousand dollars from Joseph Prigogine” comes out. I’m afraid to approach Joseph, I haven’t seen a penny of this money!” Marina shared.

When Khlebnikova stopped appearing on stage and social events, rumors arose that she had problems with alcohol. The singer denied this information, saying that all this time she continued to work hard.

Popular

On the Web, many call the artist a “victim of plastic surgery,” but Marina herself assures that she has never resorted to the help of a plastic surgeon.

“The secret of beauty is to sleep longer. I have never had plastic surgery myself. I didn't cut an inch of skin. But if I want to, then I will do it, ”said the star.

The studio was also attended by Khlebnikova's 17-year-old daughter Dominika. The girl followed in the footsteps of the famous mother and is now taking her first steps in music.

Marina Khlebnikova is not forgotten by her fans, who even now listen with pleasure to the compositions of their favorite singer. Marina tried her hand in other directions: she was the host of television and radio programs, wrote poetry, and was also engaged in other projects. The star of the 90s has no time at all for fashionable parties, so it seems that they forgot about her.

There were also difficult times in Khlebnikova's personal life, but now many problems have gone into the background, and the artist herself enjoys the company of her family and friends.

Childhood and school years

Marina was born in 1965 in Dolgoprudny, Moscow region. Her parents were radio physicists, but despite their serious profession, they loved music: her father played the guitar well, and her mother played the piano. It is not surprising that the girl also had creative abilities: she not only participated in school performances, but also studied at a music school. Having become older, the future singer sang in the school ensemble, which she organized with her friends. In addition, she was professionally engaged in swimming, having achieved good results in this field: in 1987, the girl won the competition, becoming the champion of Moscow. After leaving school, she entered the Gnessin School, and then received a higher musical education at the institute, choosing first the piano department, and later pop singing.

Solo career and other projects

Even in her student years, Khlebnikova performed in various groups created in those years by Bari Alibasov. In 1991, her song "Paradise in a Tent" was awarded a music competition in Yalta, and a year later the girl became a laureate of an international competition held in Austria. After such success, the aspiring singer released her debut album "Stay" and starred in several videos. She gained immense popularity among music lovers thanks to the song “A Cup of Coffee”.

Over the years of her career, she sang a lot of memorable songs, releasing six solo albums. Her activities are not limited to this: in the 90s, Khlebnikova was a host on Mayak radio and Retro FM radio stations, and later hosted a television vocal competition. The singer also collaborated with the HZ group, recording several songs with them.

Personal life and hobbies

Khlebnikova did not disclose the details of her personal life for a long time, however, in 2017 she told some of the secrets of her family. Her first serious relationship arose with Anton Loginov, who became her civil husband. For the sake of the star of the 90s, a man left his lawful wife. The couple lived together for about ten years, but the children in this union never appeared.

In the late 90s, she married businessman Mikhail Maidanich, and in 1999 their daughter Dominika was born. The artist hid her pregnancy under magnificent outfits, so only close friends knew that she had become a mother. In addition, Marina almost immediately after giving birth again began to work. According to the singer herself, this marriage was unsuccessful from the very beginning: her husband could not put up with her popularity, which is why quarrels often arose in the family.

After breaking up with former spouse, the performer of the hits "A Cup of Coffee" and "Rain" put a lot of effort into raising the baby. Khlebnikova's daughter took over her vocal abilities from the star mother and now sings in restaurants, but the girl has not yet decided what she will do in the future. According to Dominika, singing is like a hobby, and most likely it will not be connected with her profession.

For some time there were rumors that Marina had a serious illness. As it turned out, she had a dental cyst, which is why the artist underwent several operations on her jaw. There was also a lot of talk about her failed plastic surgery, however, Khlebnikova herself denies this. Now the singer lives with her daughter in Butovo, where she has equipped a real garden in her apartment. The performer has been collecting soft toys for a long time, which her fans always gave her at concerts. She sewed them into a large carpet that occupies the entire wall of the room.

The 90s star believes that men play a big role in her personal life, as they charge her with energy and inspiration. But it is more important for her to have feelings for the chosen one herself than to accept someone's love.

Anton Loginov was the singer's bass player and for many years saw her almost every day. she didn’t like to advertise her personal life, so practically nothing is known about the marriage and divorce of the performer of “Cup of Coffee”.

Colleagues say: “They were, always together - and always loved each other. At least Anton for sure. He did not have a soul in Marina.

During her second marriage to Mikhail Maidanich, the general director of a recording studio, she bought two two-level adjoining apartments in a 4-storey premium building on Ratnaya Street. The apartments were united by making a passage between them.

After Marina was left alone in a 7-room apartment. In the summer, the singer completed repairs there and invited Anton to her place. The musician previously lived in a nearby residential complex, where Khlebnikova has a studio apartment.

In the winter of 2017, Anton Loginov suffered a stroke. He began to lose weight and lose consciousness. The singer decided that the 51-year-old man, with whom she had a warm relationship, should not be left alone in this state and moved him to her apartment.

Loginov and 52-year-old Khlebnikova worked and rested together, but many noticed that the ex-husband of the singer had changed.

“Anton literally melted before our eyes, was in a depressed mood. And when he died, he generally became not himself, ”Marina’s niece told the investigators.

The couple was last seen together on Saturday afternoon - they came to a beauty salon in Northern Butovo.

Salon employees recall: “Marina cleaned herself up, was cheerful, and Anton was just calm. There was sadness in his eyes, but we connected it with the recent death of his kitty.”

On Sunday, the day of the tragedy, Marina returned home late in the evening. The apartment was quiet, but the lights were on in the living room. She went into the room where the jacuzzi and the bar are located, and behind the wall is the gym. There she found Loginov who committed suicide.

At first, the woman tried to remove the body of the musician and did it with only a few attempts. She called an ambulance and her former concert director Alexander Barzunov.

The man called his closest friends and relatives and they all gathered at the apartment. The police, called to the scene, found on the table a lot of empty packs of various drugs.

A farewell letter was also left on the computer. Anton apologized to his ex-wife, but at the same time he admitted that Marina does not love him as much as he loves her. Much in his farewell letter he devoted to complaints about his health.

At about two o'clock in the morning, Marina Khlebnikova was called for the first time. ambulance". After the second call, the singer was hospitalized with a nervous breakdown. According to Mk.ru, the doctors promised that the singer's parents would be allowed to visit their daughter tonight. Photo: Personastars, facebook
