Aspiring singer Elena Petrova turned to the Moscow police with a statement that she was severely beaten by the soloist of the group "Brilliant" - Sylvia Zolotova and renowned composer Denis Kovalsky. It is his pen that belongs to popular hits Dima Bilan, Nikolai Baskov and Alla Pugacheva. According to Petrova, the incident occurred in December, on the eve of the New Year holidays, during one of the feasts. All the beatings inflicted on her by young people, the girl recorded on the photos provided by SUPER, and also told about what happened.
“On the night of December 12, I was at the birthday party of my close friend’s man,” Petrova told SUPER. - Among the guests was the composer Denis Kovalsky and his girlfriend - the soloist of the group "Brilliant" Silvia Zolotova. They drank, and for some reason I began to cause aggression in Denis. He began to be rude to me, motivating me by the fact that I supposedly speak in a bad tone with his girlfriend. Although the topic of our conversation was generally about Zhanna Friske, I could not speak badly about her, she is an angel. Kovalsky and Zolotova went out several times, maybe they took some drugs there, and this caused aggression? Denis jumped up to hit me. I stepped aside, saying that my young man would come and he would talk to him.
- Forty minutes later, when my young man drove up, I went upstairs, the whole company was standing there. They began to shout all sorts of nasty things to me and call me a skin, - Elena continued the story. - After that, Denis flew up to me and hit me in the head with his fist. When my young man approached, Kovalsky began to run away from him. At this time, Zolotova came up to me from behind and inflicted several blows on the face. My blood was flowing in streams, and she continued to beat my head on the asphalt. - When we began to call the police, Sylvia hid in a taxi, and Denis hid in the birthday man's house, - says Petrova, - My young man approached the taxi and tried to pull her out of car, she broke free and ran into the house. Attempts to get into the house were in vain, the owner came out and began to distract us so that Denis and Sylvia had time to leave.
As Petrova admitted, she is still in shock and cannot forget about the incident. In addition, according to the aspiring singer, because of the beating, she had a miscarriage - at the time of the incident, the girl was in her third week of pregnancy.
- Hematomas were the strongest and then I was diagnosed with a concussion. After this beating, I began to bleed and lost my baby. When they started pulling Sylvia away from me, she kicked me in the stomach. In addition, they ruined a lot of things for me - a sable coat, a personalized scarf and trousers.
Petrova admitted that she repeatedly tried to contact Kovalsky and Zolotova to resolve the incident, but they did not get in touch. As a result, Elena nevertheless decided to go to the police. The girl said that at the moment, her application was accepted, and all the beatings were recorded. Elena also told about her doubt that the case was being investigated.
Singer Olga Orlova was one of the first soloists of the group "Brilliant", which is already 22 years old. She worked there from the moment the team was founded in 1995 until 2000. After that, until 2007, she sang alone, then there was a period of calm, and the singer returned to the stage in 2015.

In addition, Olga actively acted in films (“Anna Karamazoff”, “Love-Carrot - 1, 2, 3” and in other films), played in private performances.
And in March 2017, she decided to try the role of co-host of the reality show "Dom-2". By the way, 16-year-old Artem, Olga's son from businessman Alexander Karmanov (the marriage broke up in 2004), supported this decision. Rumor has it that Olga recaptured her ex-husband Alexander from another singer Natalia Lagoda, but Orlova herself denies these rumors: they say that Alexander left Natalia before Olga began dating him.
One way or another, when Olga became pregnant with Artem, the group's producer Andrei Grozny asked her to leave the group.
Polina Iodis - singer and athlete - was the soloist of the group for only three years: from 1995 to 1998. After leaving the "Brilliant" Polina took up extreme sports, and in 2010 she left for Bali, where she lives to this day, surfing. There, in Bali, her children were born.

Varvara Koroleva is the third soloist from the very first composition of the group. But she was in this capacity for only a year: from 1995 to 1996. After that, she was replaced by Irina Lukyanova and Zhanna Friske. After leaving the group, Varvara completely switched to sports, namely rock climbing. And she never returned to show business.
Irina Lukyanova was a member of the group from 1996 to 2003.

Now in the family of Irina and her husband, businessman Mikhail Sinitsyn, there are four children: Misha and Denis, the sons of Mikhail, as well as common girls Anya and Sasha. Irina devoted herself to the family.

Zhanna Friske performed in "Brilliant" from 1997 to 2003. After leaving the composition, she continued to be friends with Olga Orlova. Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhanna and her husband Dmitry Shepelev chose Olga as godmothers for their son Plato. After leaving the "Brilliant" Jeanne began a solo career, but in 2013 the singer fell ill, and in June 2015 she passed away.

Ksenia Novikova joined the team in 1999 - she was replaced by Polina Iodis. And immediately after Zhanna Friske left, she became the leader of the group. In 2007, she left the "Brilliant" and gave birth to businessman Andrei Sereda two boys - Miron and Bogdan. But four years later she returned to the team, while simultaneously building her solo career. In 2015, she married businessman Alexei Sorokin.

And in January 2016, she finally said goodbye to the group, in which she worked for a total of about 12 years.
Yulia Kovalchuk joined the group instead of Olga Orlova. She worked as part of a team for about six years, and then she also took up a solo career and mastered the role of a TV presenter. Julia married singer Alexei Chumakov in 2013, and most recently, on October 13, 2017, this couple had a girl. So Julia is still enjoying motherhood and is in no hurry to go to work.

Anna Semenovich - a former figure skater, worked for several years on various TV channels. Once, when Semenovich was interviewing the girls from "Brilliant" on "Muz-TV", the producers of the group, Andrei Grozny and Andrei Shlykov, had the idea to invite her to the girls' team. As a result, Anna quit journalism and became a singer, having worked in this capacity from 2003 to 2007. Then Anna returned to TV: she was busy in the programs "Stars on Ice", "Ice Age", "The Young Lady and the Cook", "Rules of the Road".

Nadezhda Ruchka got into the "Brilliant" in 2004 and, perhaps, would have continued to sing in the group if she had not become pregnant and had not given birth to her son Leva in August 2017. And the chosen one of Nadia was an employee of the oil company Denis Boyarko. Before "Brilliant" Pen was in the group Party.

And here is the current composition of the "Brilliant": Marina Berezhnaya, Silvia Zolotova, Kristina Illarionova, Natalia Asmolova.
Aspiring performer Elena Petrova shared that she was severely beaten by the lead singer of the "Brilliant" Silvia Zolotova and her boyfriend, composer Denis Kovalsky, who created songs for Bilan, Baskov and Pugacheva. The 28-year-old girl removed the beatings and made the necessary statement to law enforcement agencies. The details of what happened have become known.
As the girl notes, this incident occurred on December 12 last year. Petrova recognized her rapists at the birthday party of her good friend's boyfriend.
“Denis Kovalsky and his girlfriend, the lead singer of the Brilliant group, Silvia Zolotova, were present as guests. They were drinking, and suddenly I began to enrage Denis. in general, they talked about Zhanna Friske, I couldn’t say bad things about her, she is an angel. Kovalsky and Zolotova went away somewhere several times, perhaps they took drugs there and that’s why they returned so evil?! Denis flew up and swung to strike. I recoiled, saying that my boyfriend would arrive soon and he would talk to him, ”the girl notes.
“40 minutes later, when my boyfriend arrived, I went upstairs, the whole company was there. They shouted various offensive phrases and called me a skin. And then Denis jumped up to me and hit me on the head with his fist. When my boyfriend approached, Kovalsky ran away from him "While my boyfriend was catching up with the offender, Zolotova came up to me from behind and began to beat me in the face. Blood flowed from me in streams, and she continued to beat my face on the asphalt," the victim reports.
According to Petrova, she is still in shock. She says that because of this she had a miscarriage - before the beating she was in the 3rd week of pregnancy.
“The bruises were huge, and then the doctors said that I had a concussion. Later, I started bleeding and I was left without a child. When they tried to pull Sylvia away, she kicked me in the stomach. In addition, she ruined my clothes - a sable fur coat , personalized scarf and expensive trousers," Elena says.
In the end, the victim of violence said that she initially wanted to solve everything without involving law enforcement officers, but the offenders did not get in touch - they did not want to communicate. Later, Elena still decided to go to the police, her statement was taken away, and the beatings were removed.
“A friend told me, who often saw with Kowalski that he regularly arranges provocations for everyone present, beats and runs. This often happened exactly in the place where we were, and the owner of which was the birthday boy. However, all the cases and all the statements written at once but they close it, because the owner of the establishment is some kind of big "bump", - the girl also said.

"Brilliant" is a Russian female pop group that has been performing since the mid-1990s. One of the first women's groups in the country, which presented the national stage with many talented solo artists.History of creation
The Brilliant group has been leading its history since 1995, when composer Andrei Grozny (ex-soloist of the Kar-Man group and producer of Viktor Saltykov, Amega and Bounty groups) with an old friend, musician Andrei Shlykov, decided to create a women's a group similar to the British "Spice Girls". 
The first to join the group was 18-year-old Olga Orlova - her producers were recommended by the soloist of the once popular MF-3 group Christian Ray, in whose video high school student Olga starred shortly before.
Orlova suggested that Grozny take his girlfriends into the group, the dancer Varvara Koroleva and Polina Iodis, who at that time was studying in Moscow at the Faculty of Law and left the institute for the sake of the group. Olga acted as the soloist of the group, while the rest of the girls worked mainly as backup dancers.
For the first 2 years, even Russian musicians, not to mention the listeners, did not know the girls by sight, although the songs from their debut album “There, Only There” were very popular. The artists began to be recognized after the release of the first clips in late 1996 and early 1997: by that time, the “Brilliant” had undergone the first changes in the composition - Varvara decided to leave the team and devote herself to her family.
"There, only there" - the first clip of "Brilliant" (1996)
The Queen was replaced by a 20-year-old graduate of the College of Arts, Irina Lukyanova. Then 21-year-old Zhanna Friske was invited to the group to play the role of artistic director. The producers offered the journalism student to choose outfits and put numbers for the group members, but in mid-1997, the charismatic Zhanna became the fourth member of the girl band.
In this composition, the "Brilliant" existed for 2 years, having achieved considerable popularity. Their hits "Clouds", "Cha-cha-cha" and "Where are you, where?" sounded from every radio, and the video for the song "Flowers" was regularly played on the most famous music channels. At the end of 1998, Polina Iodis announced her departure from the team, deciding to devote herself to extreme sports. Today, the girl is one of the founders of the Federation and the Russian Surfing Championship and has been living in Bali for several years now.
“I left without regrets, which were not later. At that time, we toured a lot, but did not develop, ”recalls Iodis.
1999-2002
In mid-1999, the ranks of the "Brilliant" were replenished by the ex-soloist of the youth group "Class" - 19-year-old Ksenia Novikova, who periodically recorded backing vocals for the group. Together with Ksenia, the group released the songs “Winter will come in autumn” and the incredibly popular “Chao, bambina!”, For which a very erotic video was filmed for those times (dir. Philip Yankovsky - the son of Russian actor Oleg Yankovsky). All of Russia was discussing Zhanna Friske in a transparent negligee, who showed in the clip "sharon stone gesture". The viewer's attention was fueled by the fact that many TV channels refused to put this video on the air.Shiny - Chao, bambino
Meanwhile, a remix of the hit, created with the participation of Alexei Ryzhov, a member of the Disco Crash group, sounded at all discos in the country, and the girl band's album "About Love" was sold out at breakneck speed.
In 2000, due to a conflict with Andrei the Terrible, Orlova left the group. The singer was expecting a baby, but for a long time hid this fact. As a result, the management told the soloist that she did not need her services. “We ordered a group of beautiful girls, not pregnant mothers,” Olga was told. Pregnant Orlova managed to "light up" in the video for the song "White Snow", but a month later the clip was redone, and all the episodes with the singer were cut out.
"Brilliant". Interviews and clips (1998)
In the early 2000s, Zhanna Friske began to engage in solo work, combining work in the "Brilliant". Suspecting the imminent departure of the soloist from the group, the producers invited 18-year-old Yulia Kovalchuk, a student of the Moscow State Institute of Cinematography, to the team. Kovalchuk's debut in the team was the song "Au-au", directed by Roman Prygunov, author of the films "DuhLess" and "DuhLess-2" with Danila Kozlovsky.
The most popular songs of the "Brilliant" in these years were the singles "Over the Four Seas" and "And I kept flying" (verses by Ksenia Novikova) - both songs received the prestigious Golden Gramophone award. The clips for these hits caused a special stir among the male part of the fans.
2002-2007
In September 2002, the group presented the album "Over the Four Seas", performed in genres unusual for the group: from disco house to rap. The album even included "heavy" compositions, which came as a surprise to the artists themselves. Friske summed up that the team is turning from a girlish team into a female one. This was also confirmed by journalists who sought to send Zhanna and Irina Lukyanova to “retirement”. 
In March 2003, Irina found out that she was pregnant, and the doctor gave her a choice: either work or a child. The singer chose the latter and left the "Brilliant" - later she returned to dancing. In place of Lukyanova, they took a former figure skater, 23-year-old Anna Semenovich - the girl interviewed the group, after which she received an offer to become part of it. Together with Semenovich, "Brilliant" released the hit "Orange Song" and the album "Orange Paradise".
Brilliant - Orange Song
After participating in the extreme reality show "The Last Hero", Zhanna Friske left the group. Many associate the departure of the singer with the wedding of Andrei the Terrible. Jeanne and the producer once had a short romance, and Grozny even made an offer to the singer, but she refused the admirer. “From that moment on, everyone’s personal life went its own way,” says Andrey. Despite this, Grozny and Shlykov remained her producers throughout Friske's entire creative career.
In 2004, the 23-year-old Ukrainian singer Nadezhda Ruchka joined the group, who had previously sung in the Party group and worked in a casino. In the updated composition, the team recorded the songs "New Year's Song", "Palm Trees in Pairs" and "Oriental Tales" (with the Iranian-Swedish singer Arash).
Shiny ft. Arash - Oriental tales
The video for the last song caused a lot of negative feedback - in particular, the chairman of the Islamic Committee of Russia, Heydar Jemal, said that the clip offends the feelings of Muslims, and the depraved atmosphere of the video has nothing to do with the morality of the followers of Islam. Nevertheless, the song became a real hit, and soon the Brilliant released an album of the same name.
2007-2014
In March 2007, Anna Semenovich left the group, who was replaced by the 22-year-old ex-soloist of Strelok Anastasia Osipova. Six months later, Ksenia Novikova went on a long maternity leave: first, her eldest son Miron was born, and a year and a half later, Bogdan. In her place, they took Natalia Asmolova, whom Shlykov noticed during one of the castings: the girl did not differ in pomp, but she impressed the producer with her outstanding vocals. 
Natalia stayed in the group for only 3 months. She was replaced by Friske's younger sister, Natalya, in the "Brilliant". However, she was able to survive in the team for only a year - almost simultaneously with her, Kovalchuk left the Brilliant, whose contract had ended.
At the casting, the producers chose the singer Nadezhda Kondratiev as a replacement for the departed artists (in the end, she never became a soloist, only appearing with the group once) and dancer Anna Dubovitskaya. Interestingly, businessman Sergei Anokhin, who once met with Novikova and Friske Sr., became Dubovitskaya's spouse in 2011. The members of the team confirmed that many girls liked Anokhin, but this did not cause discord in the group.
In 2008, a bright 18-year-old brunette, world vice-champion in ballroom dancing, Yulianna Lukasheva, came to the "Brilliant". With her participation, the tracks “Odnoklassniki” and “You Know, Darling” were recorded and the collection “Odnoklassniki” was released with old covered hits.
Brilliant - Odnoklassniki
In November 2009, Yulianna left the group - she was replaced by Marina Berezhnaya with "very fashionable r'n'b vocals and outstanding external data." In mid-2011, Ksenia Novikova returned to the group from the decree, which in parallel began to work on solo projects.
2014–2017
In July 2014, the group performed at the New Wave festival in Jurmala - already without Anna Dubovitskaya, who went on maternity leave after the wedding. In the summer of 2015, after 8 years of "service", Anastasia Osipova left the group - she was replaced by ex-soloist Natalia Asmolova. As for the first time, Asmolova only lasted a couple of months at the Brilliant and left after Ksenia Novikova - she switched to her own Ksyusha project and the Our Meaning of Life charitable foundation she created. 
At this time, storm clouds were gathering over the ex-soloist of the band Zhanna Friske. A woman who recently gave birth to a son was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in her brain. For 2 years she bravely fought the disease. Money for the treatment of the people's favorite was collected with the help of Channel One. Managed to collect more than 60 million rubles; but even the doctors of an elite American clinic could not save the singer. In the summer of 2015, Zhanna Friske died. Olga Orlova, who until the last hours of her life was next to Jeanne, experienced the hardest loss. The new composition of the "Brilliant": Berezhnaya, Zolotova, Illarionov, Asmolova
Scandals
In January 2016, an aspiring artist Elena Petrova came to the show “Let them talk”, accusing the “brilliant” Silvia Zolotova and her fiancé, composer Denis Kovalsky, of beating their mutual friend with particular cruelty at the birthday party. The girl claimed that because of the fight she lost the child. Sylvia and Denis denied Petrova's story and, in turn, accused her of thirst for PR.Discography
