Igor Krutoy's wife Olga - photo
Olga's biography begins in 1963. She was born in the city of St. Petersburg. Her family was not very rich, her father was a communist who lived by the rules and tried to adjust the whole family to these rules, and her mother was a quiet and calm woman who looked after the house.
As a child, Olga was a very obedient child, but as she grew older, her father’s boundaries no longer suited her. The girl constantly argued with her father about the fact that she was an adult and should not listen to anyone about how long she should go out and what to wear. But the father believed that he was the head of the family, which means his word is above all. As a result, thanks to her character, Olga was able to achieve her goal. In many ways, character and perseverance helped the girl become who she is now.
After school, the girl received an economic education. Initially, she wanted to choose a different direction, but to spite her father, she chose economics. Despite the fact that it was an unconscious choice, she never regretted it, since education greatly helps her to run a business competently. At the age of 19, the girl got married and a child appeared in the family - daughter Vika. Some time after the birth of her daughter, Olga went to visit a friend in America. After staying there for a while, she fell in love with this country and decided to stay there. Olga took her daughter and settled down abroad.
Meeting Igor Krutoy
In the fourth year of Olga’s stay in America, Igor Krutoy arrived there with a concert. The girl and her friend decided to attend this event in order to have a little rest and remember Russia. It so happened that the tables of the future spouses were located nearby. Igor immediately drew attention to the attractive lady and asked her for her phone number, saying that he wanted to chat the next time he was here. In fact, Krutoy simply fell in love at first sight with this woman. A month later, Igor called Olga and invited her to a meeting. Krutoy’s future wife did not think at all about any serious relationship, and besides, she was married. But after communicating, the young people began an affair.
Two years later, Olga and Igor got married. They arranged a luxurious wedding, where many Russian stars were invited. The newlyweds could not decide on a place to live, so Olya remained in America, and Igor Krutoy in Russia, since he loved this country very much and could not leave.
In 2003, a child appeared in the family - daughter Alexandra. The couple still only communicated a few times a month when Igor came to America. Maybe that’s why their personal life is not collapsing - they just don’t have time to bother each other. The couple's children get along well with each other, and Igor considers Olga's daughter his own and even gave her his last name.

The string orchestra plays and the ceremony begins.
Peace and love reign in the family of Victoria's chosen one. David Berkovich was led to the chuppah by his mother Tatyana (pictured above left) and the second wife of his father Boris, Elena

Next, to the soundtrack of the film "Dangerous Liaisons" Bitter Sweet Symphony, groom David Berkovich appears - in a suit with a bow tie, a kippah and with a traditional model tallit blanket on his shoulders.

He was 14, he was nice, cheerful, handsome, but the most ordinary guy. I liked older guys back then
Victoria recalls with a smile.
And even then, at the age of 12, she was already beautiful, which is what I immediately told her: “Vicky, I will definitely marry you!”
David adds.

Further in this story the appropriate phrase is: “Years have passed...”. Young people have matured. We created accounts on a social network, started communicating on Facebook, became good friends on the global network, and one day ended up in the same company through mutual friends. That meeting, which happened about five years ago, became the starting point of their recent history: unexpectedly for themselves, both Victoria and David realized that there was no one closer, dearer, and those tender feelings that they experience for each other are not at all memories of their teenage years. hobby, but a serious, adult feeling.

Victoria and David got married a month and a half ago in America - the official registration of the marriage took place in the suburbs of New York, in the Hamptons, on June 1. A few weeks later in Monaco they became husband and wife according to Jewish custom. At the end of the traditional ceremony, David crushed a glass wrapped in a towel with his right foot, and the guests shouted in unison: “Mazal Tov!”, translated - “Happy Fate!”
Dusk fell over Monte Carlo, and guests slowly began to move into the Sporting Club celebration hall, located next to the hotel. A spacious hall with a stage and a long terrace, which offers panoramic views of Monaco and the bay of the Ligurian Sea, became the ideal place for a big celebration. The already wonderful mood was supported by the musicians of A"Studio, SEREBRO, Ivan Dorn, the famous American hip-hop artist and producer Jean Wyclef, as well as the host of the evening Nikolai Baskov.
Successful women and handsome men! Say hello to the newlyweds! - proclaimed Basque. Victoria and David appeared on the stage in the spotlight. And Nikolai continued:
And I immediately want to invite the outstanding composer and his wife, the wonderful Igor and Olga Krutykh, to the stage. Cool wedding! Cool family!
Igor Yakovlevich noted Baskov’s sense of humor and addressed the audience with words of gratitude:
Thank you for coming thousands of kilometers to share with us the joy of today. Our family is very indebted to you. Of course, the entry of a new member into our family is not an easy process. But when David came and for the first ten minutes he talked incessantly about how my wife Olga is the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am the best composer and he listens only to my music, then, you understand: he immediately came to the court . And now in any conflict he has with Vika, we take his side. I want them to be healthy and happy, to give birth to our grandchildren and to always hear laughter in their house, like now.
The mother of the bride Olga Krutaya wished Victoria and David children: My dears! I love you very much, I simply adore you. Vika, you are everything to me - my life, my happiness! They told me today: “It’s amazing how easily you give your daughter away in marriage!” So, I’m not giving away my daughter - I’m accepting my son. And I accept the title of mother-in-law. And I will be happy if I soon become a grandmother. I wish you that your life will be as beautiful and extraordinary as today. At this moment, Igor Krutoy quietly said: “How is your life with me?” “Yes, like mine,” Olga answered just as insinuatingly.
The first toast was followed by a dance of the bride and groom, traditional, but in this case not quite ordinary. The young people were accompanied by Igor Krutoy. He sat down at the black piano, and everyone heard the words of a familiar song: Forever, I hug you./ Forever, I saw you and melted./ Your gaze, like an angel, gives light./ You leave a mark in the sky./ It’s impossible to be careful.. .
"Women can cry!" - Baskov allowed. And Vladimir Vinokur called the next five hours of the holiday “perhaps the best concert of Igor Krutoy.” And it’s true: the guests were not bored for a minute. The toasts were followed by performances by the artists, and it seemed like absolutely all the guests were dancing to their hits. During short intermissions, videos were shown on large plasma screens. In one, a voiceover told the love story of Victoria and David.
In another, the newlyweds, made up as if they were nearly a hundred years old, themselves recalled how they met and fell in love with each other. In the third, Victoria and David were congratulated while walking with a baby stroller by Tatyana Berkovich’s close friend, Gosha Kutsenko, who recently became a father for the second time.
According to Jewish tradition, the wedding ceremony is usually followed by a light kosher dinner and Jewish songs are performed. However, since the newlyweds were congratulated by a large international group of friends and relatives, on this day both the Jewish “Mazal Tov” and the Russian “Gorko!” were heard, and on the tables there were dishes from different cuisines of the world - pancakes with red and black caviar, foie gras, medallions beef, risotto with white truffles, sea bass with champagne sauce, tomatoes with Italian mozzarella and much, much more.

In 1974, he graduated with honors from the theoretical department of the Kirovograd Music School, and a year later Igor Krutoy entered the Nikolaev Music Pedagogical Institute at the conducting department, working as a button accordion teacher in his free time from studies in his hometown.
“I have a crazy life. I, a boy from the Ukrainian regional center of Gayvoron, made my way, entered the circle of such people, my songs were sung by the best singers in the country, my concerts sold out the largest halls in the world, including the 18,000-seat Madison Square Garden. Perhaps the stars somehow aligned in my favor.
The creative path of Igor Krutoy
In 1979, Igor Krutoy was invited to the Moscow concert orchestra "Panorama", where he performed with Leonid Smetannikov, Vladimir Miguley And Poladom Bulbul ogly. In 1980, Krutoy worked at VIA “ Blue guitars" In 1981, Krutoy received an offer to work as a pianist for Valentina Tolkunova, but almost immediately he became the leader of the famous singer’s ensemble. At the same time, the composer tours with Evgeniy Leonov.
In 1986 Igor Krutoy entered the composition department of the Saratov Conservatory named after L.V. Sobinova. Creative activity began with the advent of the VIA team "Blue guitars", and in 1987 Steep wrote a song "Madonna" for my old friend Alexandra Serova. It was a resounding success: a television festival "Song of the year" called this composition the best.
In 1989, Igor Krutoy became the artistic director of the production center ARS. Today it is one of the largest Russian concert and production companies. She has organized performances Jose Carerosa in 1995 and Michael Jackson in 1996. Among the artists of ARS Records: Alexander Buinov, Boris Moiseev, Diana Gurtskaya, Irina Dubtsova and others.
“All my colleagues have been in business for a long time. Laima makes creams and sells some women's stuff. Kobzon, it seemed to me, was generally in big business. Valera Meladze is a member of the bank's board of directors. And only me is considered a businessman. Why is that? But I only work in the music field. My interests include television production, radio stations, competitions, awards...”
Igor Krutoy’s albums with instrumental music “Without Words” were released twice.
In 2004, composer Igor Krutoy produced the fourth episode of the popular reality show “Star Factory”.
“Factories” are incubators with their own ceiling, above which you cannot jump. In captivity, talent will not manifest itself. That’s why I gave the guys at my “Factory” a lot of freedom. There was such revelry there, even sex under cameras. I don't see anything wrong with this. For young people, sex is like going to the toilet. Now everything is much simpler. The guys, due to my conflict with Channel One, received a serious kick at the start of their artistic biography. Piekha and Larina got out the easiest. They betrayed me. Now I think that if I had not had this conflict, almost all the “manufacturers” would have been superstars. That’s how I selected them.”
In January 2017 it became known that Igor Krutoy became one of the mentors of the project “You are super!” "on the NTV channel. Participants in the vocal competition were pupils of boarding schools, orphanages, as well as children from foster families. Krutoy’s colleagues on the show were singers Margarita Sukhankina and Yolka.

In March 2019, the third season of the project “” started on the NTV channel. Igor Krutoy became a mentor to the contestants along with and singer Yolka.

Igor Krutoy: “Yes, I agree, now my surname is somewhat iconic, but before, in childhood and adolescence, I was very embarrassed by it. Still, she is quite unusual, they made fun of her, teased me. But when my songs began to be heard on the radio, on television, when success came to Sasha Serov, who performed them and was loved by all women, I, in some incomprehensible way, took off with him. People became interested in the personality of the composer with a strange surname, and, as they say, the process began...”
