How to order a star for a holiday prices for an anniversary, birthday. How to order a star for a holiday prices for an anniversary, birthday Russian stars of the 90s and they are now
Many of us remember the 90s with a shudder, and this is not surprising, because at that time a severe crisis occurred in the country, racketeering flourished, various kinds of fraud and the active introduction of foreign goods, both in the food and music markets. Despite the deplorable situation in the country, for many musical groups this time became significant in their careers, and it was during this period that many of them gained popularity and released their main hits. Let's remember the brightest stars of the 90s and see how they look now and what they are doing.
Vlad Stashevsky
The main and most successful ward of Yuri Aizenshpis, Stashevsky, as they say, did not think about show business and did not dream of a stellar career. Nevertheless, this career happened, and with all the consequences - fans, hype, hit parades, VIP marriage at gunpoint of journalists and stuff like that. There were so many Stashevsky that it seemed that this guy would be on the air forever. It turned out not so. Vlad broke up with the producer and gradually fell out of the cage. Now the artist is engaged in business and continues to perform. The country is big, there is enough space for everyone.
Bogdan Titomir
The author of the popular expression "People hawala" has long ceased to produce anything for this very people. Or rather, it produces - since 2010, Titomir has released two whole albums, but not to say that the Russians sing songs from there in unison and know them by heart. At the same time, the star of the self-invented style "High Energy" does not lose vigor, still masterfully owning both fingering and rap reading.
Heather Locklear (Melrose Place)
Surprisingly, Heather Locklear's career didn't go downhill after the end of Malose Place. More precisely, she went, but not immediately: until the beginning of the 2000s, the actress kept in the saddle. Thanks for this I must say to another “soap” - “Spin City”, which fed the actress for three whole years. By the way, if you watched the Desperate Housewives series, don't you think that Teri Hatcher and Heather Locklear are similar? If it seems, you know - the role of Susan was first offered to Heather, but she refused. And with this mistake, a black streak began in the life of the actress. First, a breakup with Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, then a quarrel with her close friend Denise Richards, who had an affair with Sambora behind her back. Then a lot of passing roles in passing projects and problems with drugs. In 2008, Locklear tried to commit suicide but was saved. In 2012, she almost lost her life due to an overdose. It's amazing that, despite all this, Heather looks just fine at 52.
Kai Metov
The author of the hit “Position number tou” is a man of various talents. Not only does he have absolute pitch, Kay (real name Kairat) is also a certified lawyer, and also a graduate of GITIS. With such abilities, you can be calm for the present and future of Metov. He is calm: he keeps a nightclub, does business, while at the same time finding time for concerts and compositions for other artists (“Tea Rose”, remember such a hit? Metova work). It seems that Kai does not have 24 hours in a day, but all 48.
Luke Perry (Beverly Hills 90210)
Now the stars of "Mad Men" and "Game of Thrones" get the main roles in blockbusters, and in the nineties, getting out of the teleghetto to the big screen was rather an exception. Dylan's career from "Beverly Hills" is a vivid example of those ancient times when work in the series was not prestigious. Luke Perry was unlucky, like many others: having fallen in love with millions of girls, he tried to jump a step higher and could not. As a result, self-confidently leaving the series that fed him, Perry returned three years later - because of the money. You can’t call him a complete loser - today Luke is filming a lot, but all this, as they say, is past the box office: films with his participation are released immediately on video (which is an indicator of their second-rate quality), new series live for a maximum of a couple of seasons. One joy is an affair with Jennie Garth, Kelly from, of course, Beverly Hills. The actors who played a couple 20 years ago, having gone through divorces, suddenly began to meet. This is how cinema (or rather, television) comes to life.
Robert Miles
Who doesn't know Roberto Cum? Nobody knows him. And many have already forgotten the pseudonym "Robert Miles". But the melody called Children is remembered by everyone who in the second half of the 90s at least knew how to walk and say “aha”. The quivering piano riff was eaten into the brain after the first listening and remained there forever. Almost 20 years have passed since then, and Demise-Miles has not created anything more hit. But he does not lose heart, he continues to make music, which bears little resemblance to Children. Weird sounds, complex rhythms, atmospheric sounds - and not a single pop tune - that's what Miles' work is now. It is not surprising that he is not in the charts, and the latest news about the artist is dated in the fall of 2012. Well, everyone makes their own choice.
Lika Star
The optimal scenario for a scandalous pop artist - to get married, leave show business - Lika Star embodied very clearly. Lives in sunny Italy, brings up children, there is no trace of scandalousness left. Sometimes the singer can be seen in combined nostalgic concerts; Lika sings "Lonely Moon", yesterday's grown-up fans remember their school years and dance selflessly.
Natalia Vetlitskaya
A frame with a lifted skirt from the Playboy video has become the same symbol of the early nineties, like the tunic of Nikolai Rastorguev. It was customary to say about Vetlitskaya that she could not sing, but she was the most stylish in the country. The ability to appear pop and elitist at the same time was a rarity in those days. After releasing two killer albums, starring in "Old Songs about the Main" - which then meant involvement in the major pop league - Natalya gradually disappeared from the radar. She left show business, lives closed, brings up her daughter and does not comment on her past. But such a rich biography is ideal material for super-memoirs: here you have work in Alla Pugacheva's Recital, and trips around the country as part of the division of Mirage group singers, and a ten-day marriage with Zhenya Belousov, and an affair with the oligarch Kerimov, who, rumored to have given her a private jet.
Macaulay Culkin
A beautiful, wonderful, funny boy from the already classic comedy “Home Alone” has turned into a classic loser, whose childhood was ruined by fame and whose family was deprived of money. Having quit cinema at 14, Culkin has been doing incomprehensible things for the last twenty years and every year he looks worse and worse. Either he tried to commit suicide, then he wanders the streets of New York indistinguishable from a homeless person, then he gathers the group The Pizza Underground. The ensemble, led by 34-year-old Culkin, is busy singing the songs of another group, The Velvet Underground, replacing some of the words in classic Lou Reed songs with the word ... that's right, "pizza." In short, something is definitely not right with this guy. It's a pity.
Dolores O'Riordan (The Cranberries)
The vocalist of The Cranberries all went smoothly and well. A triumph in the group, a happy marriage and motherhood, a lot of money, several houses - what else does a simple Irish girl need. Dolores' singing style can be called specific: not everyone likes these Irish overflows, but Princess Diana liked it - she even burst into tears when O "Riordan sang Ave Maria at one charity evening. At the beginning of the 2000s, The Cranberries fled, and Dolores spent ten years, taking care of children, husband and their three homes.Sometimes I went to the studio to sing or to a concert, but more for the soul than for a career or wallet.Then there were two solo albums and a new album with the group, which sold well only in their homeland, in Ireland. Now Dolores is sitting in the chair of the judge of the local version of the television show "Voice" and does not pretend to be more.
Jason Biggs ("American Pie")
Funny and kind guy Jason Biggs is not a burden to respond to Adam Sandler (with whom he is often confused) and, of course, Jim from American Pie. In general, the actor perceives his starring role and everything connected with Pie with joy. He jokes that now, like his character, he himself is a Jew, although in reality he is Italian (“I look like a Jew, although not a Jew,” says Biggs on Twitter). After the incredible success of American Pie, he starred in comedies, of course, as well as modest independent films, and then moved on to series. And it feels great there. “Anything can make me laugh,” Jason admits in an interview, and then goes to shoot the serious series “Orange Is the New Black”.
Andrey Gubin
A couple of weeks ago, one of the former "shooters" Julia Beretta released a solo disc. Six songs on the disc were written by Andrey Gubin, and this is unexpected and pleasant news for those who remember this artist, but put an end to him. , whose first album with the eternal Tramp Boy sold out in the mid-90s with half a million copies, has been in the shadows for ten years. The last thing you can remember about him is the song of the graduate of the first Star Factory, who has sunk into oblivion, called “Only Gubin is shorter.” They said that Andrei was offended, they wrote that he almost filed a lawsuit against the author. One way or another, this is a thing of the past, and now the artist, who celebrated his 40th birthday in April, continues to sit on the bench, generously writing for others. And you should for yourself.
Patrick Pewdeba ("Ellen and the Boys")
The star of the most popular youth series in Russia in the early 90s recently turned 43. He has changed a lot in appearance, has matured, but cannot part with his main role. And what remains for the actor, to whom his character is firmly stuck? After a two-year intermission, the heroes of Helen and the Boys appeared in the mid-90s in sequels: Dreams of Love, Vacations of Love, and, finally, most recently, in Secrets of Love. In order not to be only Nicolas, Patrick Pyudeba takes on any projects - he hosts a TV show, composes and starred in commercials himself. The physiognomy of Nicolas-Patrick looked at the French from kitchen furniture advertising posters and from TV screens - in shows like Fort Boyard and The Weakest Link. There seems to be nothing to regret, but Patrick is still sad - that he did not get into a big movie. Dream number one has remained a dream, and the shadow of "Ellen" haunts him today: his own morning show on one of the Pyudeba TV channels is paired with ... Lali Menyan, who played Lali, guess where.
Linda
Unlike many other stars of the 90s, Linda cannot be considered a downed pilot: she actively gives concerts, and not at corporate parties, but at full-fledged venues. Shoots clips, records records. But now she does not have hits such as "Crow". And if there is, the general public does not hear them. In the sense that from every iron, as it was with the same "Crow", these songs do not sound. Well, maybe it's not bad - after all, Linda herself never seemed to want to be a standard pop star, but claimed the status of a serious artist.
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. Woman's Day found out what happened to the twenty most popular performers of that time.
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
The decline in Andrey's creative activity 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 a disease of the 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.”
Alexander Aivazov
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.
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.
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.”
shura
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.
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.
Tatyana Ovsienko
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 teachers, Igor was not a tenant, he needed a complicated operation, but the orphanage did not have money for it.
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.
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 gear, 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.
Irina Saltykova
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 parting 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.
Natalia Vetlitskaya
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 in recent years has become 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.
Sergei Chumakov
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.
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 "Ladybug"
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 the 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", is released by the Grand Records company.
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.
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.
Group "Tender May"
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 and so on. 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 say with absolute certainty that that step was truly correct and true, because now I have everything and even more: a beloved wife, beloved son and daughter, I have a place to live, I have a favorite job, I have everything . I'm a happy person".
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 the 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.

Bogdan Titomir, 50 years old
Last month, Titomir appeared in the studio of Ivan Urgant's evening show in honor of his anniversary and proved that he is still the same tough and outrageous guy that we recognized him as part of the "exotic pop duet" Kar-Man. Journalist Leonid Parfenov, talking about the artist, called him the personification of the era of the 90s, and Titomir himself renounces high-profile titles and calls himself Bo.
Sergey Lemokh, 51 years old
Titomir's colleague from Kar-Man is still officially in the team, but at the same time he is developing his own rock band Carbonrock. Unlike his former partner, Lemokh became a father: the artist has two daughters.

Mutabor, 45 years old
Dolphin's faithful companion in the "Bachelor Party" Pavel Galkin took a pseudonym for himself, inspired by the spell from the Soviet cartoon "Khalif-stork".

But the beauty's rapid career ended with the birth of her first child - her son Artemy - in 1995.

From her second husband, Lika gave birth to a daughter and a son (the youngest boy is now 6 years old). The former singer combines the upbringing of children with the organization of gastronomic tours to Sardinia.
Organic Lady, 55
Svetlana Kushnir - the wife of producer Igor Sorokin - was not difficult to start a career in show business. Not only because she, like many stars of the 90s, was the wife of an influential person, but also because of her talent. Her “Give Me Love” sounds relevant to this day, and who knows what heights Kushnir would have achieved if it were not for her neglect of the organizational side of her project.
