Vladislav Tverdokhlebov, better known as Vlad Stashevsky, was born on January 19, 1974 in the Ukrainian city of Tiraspol.
His father Stanislav Gronchak left his wife and child when Vlad was less than two years old, so the future musician was raised by his mother Natalya Lvovna and maternal grandmother Maria Timofeeva. At birth, Natalya Lvovna gave her son her last name - Tverdokhlebov.
Soon the family moved from Tiraspol to the Crimea, so it was there that a significant part of Vlad's childhood passed. His mother and grandmother had nothing to do with music, both women worked as accountants.
Yes, and Stashevsky himself in his childhood was distinguished by diverse hobbies: he was engaged in gymnastics, rowing, running, martial arts, parachuting and, of course, studied piano at a music school.
Having received a basic education, Vladislav entered the Suvorov Military School, and then, in 1993, went to conquer Moscow. The young man began the process of conquest with a completely reasonable step: getting a higher education.
He successfully entered the Moscow State Institute of Commerce. After some time, he transferred to the correspondence course at Moscow State University, to the Faculty of Commerce, and graduated in 1998.
And at the time when Stashevsky received a secondary specialized education at the school, and during his studies at the university, the answer to the question of what the guy does in his free time from visiting couples was one - music.
In particular, in his youth, he performed as part of a student ensemble, performing bass parts on the guitar. The first significant public performance of the artist is considered to be the performance of the song "The Roads We Walk" in 1994 at the international festival "Sunny Adjara".
In the same 1994, the musician's first disc was recorded, called "Love Doesn't Live Here Anymore". Despite the young age of the singer, the songs from his debut album were written by Oleg Molchanov, Arkady Ukupnik, Roman Ryabtsev, Vladimir Matetsky.
Thanks for this is Yuri Aizenshpis, with whom Vlad Stashevsky successfully met in one of the capital's clubs. An experienced producer became interested in the young performer and helped him take the first steps in his creative career.
Success was not long in coming. Now, such compositions, perhaps, would not have interested the target audience, and in the 1990s, Vlad's songs corresponded to the latest fashion trends in the domestic music industry and were to the liking of domestic listeners.
The songs “Love Doesn't Live Here Anymore”, “The Roads We Walk” and “Beach Photographer” became hits at all, rising to high chart positions not only in Russia, but also in other Russian-speaking countries. 1994 was also marked for Stashevsky by winning first place at an international festival called "White Nights of St. Petersburg".
A year later, the performer recorded his second disc, “Don't Believe Me, Honey,” and a year later, his third album, called Vlad-21.
By that time, the singer's compositions occupied not only radio, but also television space: his videos were played on all music channels, and the video for the song "Call Me in the Night" was shown on leading domestic television channels more than five hundred times. For this song, the artist received the title of singer of the year and the Schlager-96 award.
In the mid-1990s, clips were also shot for many other songs of the artist: “Wedding Dress”, “I Will Not Wait For You Anymore”, “Shore”, “Don't Believe Me, Honey”, “Dancing of Two Shadows”. The charisma of the young performer, his height, appearance liked the fans. The clips were so popular that it was even decided to publish a special collection of the best videos on the artist's compositions.
In 1996, Vlad Stashevsky was lucky enough to perform as a guest at the New York Big Apple festival. A year later, he was back in the USA: the musician gave his own solo concert in Brooclin Park. The performer was invited by the US Senate, about twenty thousand people came to his performance.
Vlad first married in 1997. The marriage came as a big surprise to his many admirers. He was considered a playboy, a conqueror of women's hearts. Olga Aleshina became his wife. The acquaintance was not particularly romantic.
Olga was relaxing with friends on the ship on which Vlad performed that evening. They met and talked. Some time later, the upcoming wedding was announced. Olga is the daughter of the director of Luzhniki, the girl is far from being poor. Her parents were not particularly happy about the upcoming marriage. However, young people got married.
A boy was born in the family. They gave him the name Daniel. In 2006, Stashevsky married a second time. The name of his wife is Irina Migulya. The wedding was celebrated in Las Vegas.
From time to time Vlad appears in some TV shows. So, he could be seen in the show "The Last Hero", where Zhanna Friske, Maxim Pokrovsky, Anna Zhdannikova and others also participated. He also tried himself as an actor and starred in forty episodes of the television series Beauty Salon.
In the 1990s, Vlad Stashevsky was the idol of thousands of female fans across the country. But for many years now he has disappeared from the air and rarely appears in public.
It was rumored that the singer, like many other "downed pilots", was carried away by strong drinks and completely sank. But, as it turned out, Stashevsky not only feels great, but also looks great - as if these almost 20 years had not happened.
The appearance of an idol to the people happened quite recently. First, Vlad "lit up" during the filming of KVN, and then took part in the retro festival "Disco 80-90s" in Baku. And literally everyone who remembers another 20-year-old black-eyed handsome man was amazed: in the video and photo, Stashevsky looks about the same as in his youth. "Embalmed! Is he a mummy? - commented one of the fans of the singer. “No, he just sleeps in the fridge,” someone else joked back.
NOT AS SIMPLE AS IT SEEMS
According to legend, at one time producer Yuri Aizenshpis discovered Vladislav Tverdokhlebov (this is the real name of the singer) at a bus stop. And it seems that he immediately decided to make him a star in order to prove to everyone and everything: any random passer-by, with the right approach, can become popular.
True, Vlad, to whom Aizenshpis came up with the sonorous pseudonym Stashevsky, assures: the producer saw him in a nightclub at his birthday party, where he played music at the piano and sang his favorite tunes. In any case, a week after they met, everything began to spin: the first song, the first video, the first album, broadcasts on TV ... Many perceived Stashevsky as a minion of fate, a shallow but successful person. True, at the same time, those who knew Vlad well enough just shook their heads: they say that the guy is actually not as simple as it seems. After all, it is no coincidence that, despite the full house and busy tour schedule, he took care of his future in advance and graduated, albeit in absentia, from the Faculty of Commerce of Moscow State University.
Moreover, they gossiped that Stashevsky calculated his every step, even in amorous affairs. That is why, they say, he married a very difficult girl - the daughter of the general director of Luzhniki, millionaire Vladimir Aleshin. And it seems like the father-in-law helped the singer start his own business.
HARD DIVORCE
In fact, Olga Aleshina was never a fan of Stashevsky. But the songs of the young smiling singer were very fond of Olga's mother Nina. “For my wife’s anniversary, I rented a boat that cruised along the Moscow River, invited Vlad. There they met Olya, ”Vladimir Aleshin said in a recent interview.
They say that Yuri Aizenshpis, looking at the nascent romance, was upset: "In my lifetime, such a misalliance has never ended well." But Aleshin was not at all against the chosen one of his daughter: “The guy is good. Kind, decent, with a core.
In this marriage, a son, Daniel, was born. But the couple lived together for only about five years. “They are too different. Creative people are generally arranged differently, they have a completely different rhythm. Tours, concerts, filming. Although it was interesting, ”the same Vladimir Alyoshin revealed the details of that divorce.
But Vlad Stashevsky, by his own admission, experienced a breakup very hard. While still married, he (as they say, at the insistence of his wife) left producer Yuri Aizenshpis, after which his career declined sharply.
Without a job, without a family, without the opportunity to see his own son ... It was at that moment that he began to drink. At least, the omniscient Otar Kushanashvili claimed so. So the rumors about the slowly drinking idol are still not without foundation.
SONGS NOW - HOBBY
Everything was changed by a meeting with a girl who became the second wife of Stashevsky. At the time of meeting Irina Migule was only 18. Later, Vlad will say that this meeting saved him. However, for some time they were in no hurry to the registry office in order to legitimize their relationship. Irina, who worked for a foreign company, did not want to change her last name. Well, Vlad was simply afraid to change his status again.
So they got married a few years after they met, in 2006. And two years later they had an heir, who was named Timothy.
By this time, Stashevsky was already firmly on his feet and as a businessman. For success in business, one should thank his uncle, a respectable businessman from Paris. It was he who offered his nephew an unusual business for that time: processing and disposal of liquid chemical waste and scrap, disposal and treatment of wastewater.
The company has been in existence for 15 years. Of course, these are completely different incomes than I had when I was an artist - then I received a penny, says Vlad.
However, Stashevsky does not completely refuse from concert activity. True, unlike other stars of the 1990s, who are interrupted from one random corporate party to another, Vlad's priorities are set differently. He agrees to speak only from time to time and only when it does not harm his main activity.
But with the "green serpent" Vlad is now completely unfriendly. And even when he performs at cool corporate parties and customers offer him a glass or two, he agrees only if it is a glass of tea.
By the way, Stashevsky himself treats the unexpected excitement around his person with humor. And recently he commented on his long absence like this: “In 1998, I got lost in the scenery and could not get out - I disappeared from the screens. Help me find my way home."
Already in 2000, he released his album called "Labyrinths", unfortunately, this was his last album. In 2003, he tried to remind himself of himself in the show "The Last Hero" and a collection of the best songs. But at that time, the idols of the public became different, they were produced by the Star Factory.
However, Stashevsky was not upset, he tried to realize himself in other areas. He studied management at the Moscow State University of Commerce. Education Stashevsky was very helpful. After a divorce from the daughter of the director of Luzhniki, Vlad had problems: how to support himself, an apartment car?
He thought he got along in the circle of Moscow bohemia, after marriage they began to invite him to corporate parties. But after the divorce, it was hard for him to promote himself: without money, without his father-in-law's connections.
What happened next? A businessman from Paris offered his nephew Vlad to open a company for the processing and disposal of liquid chemical waste. And today the company is also engaged in the processing of metal waste and scrap, the removal and treatment of wastewater and solid waste.
Thanks to a successful business, Vlad's business improved, and one could think about his personal life. In 2006, Vlad married - Irina Migula, this was his second marriage. For the wedding, Vlad gave Irina a romantic trip to the States. After 2 years, on March 8, their son was born.
Irina and Vlad began to work together so as not to part for a minute, she is listed as its director. She supports her husband, rides to concerts and tours with him.
Vlada occasionally appeared on television as a "child-rearing expert" (the former pop idol has two sons, 19 and 9 years old). Vlad and his family live in a three-room apartment of 96 square meters. In Moscow, the singer dissects in a luxurious Hummer car.
Stashevsky does not forget creativity, sometimes he performs in clubs with his old hits. His fee is 400 thousand rubles for a half-hour performance. He earns money on the nostalgia of the public, like the Soviet VIA "Flame", "Gems". Stashevsky is still young in soul and body, time has no power over him at all.
13 years ago he made his debut in the play "Love Without Rules" directed by Olga Glubokova. His colleagues were Spartak Mishulin, Anna Bolshova, Elena Kondulainen and other famous actors. Recently, Anton Kovalenko's comedy "Babonki" by Anton Kovalenko was released, in which the singer played a cameo.
The heroine of the tape, Ekaterina, admires city life, tries to ensure that the most fashionable clothes are delivered to them in the village, follows fashion and secretly dreams of Vlad Stashevsky.
Vlad found himself in business, everything is in order with his personal life, he no longer drinks. Although before he was not averse to drinking after each concert. Now he does not drink anything, only tea.
Vlad Stashevsky admits that he left show business on his own, he does not regret anything, since now he has his own business, wife, and children. Now he lives in peace and comfort. He is not upset that his stellar life is in the distant past.

In the late 80s, Vlad Stashevsky entered a trade college in Moscow, where he became a member of a student musical ensemble.

In the nineties, one can confidently call the beginning of the turbulent touring life of Russian artists. But unlike today's celebrities who fly business class, then the stars had to travel in less comfortable conditions. This also affected the 22-year-old singer Vlad Stashevsky, whose life was in full swing in 1996: he released his second album Vlad-21 and was recognized by the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper as the best singer of the year.
“Perhaps I will never forget the tour to Kazakhstan,” recalls Stashevsky's backing vocalist Svetlana Belyaeva. - Usually Vlad traveled in a foreign car, which was provided to him by the organizers, and we - in a Gazelle. But then the passenger car broke down, and Stashevsky moved in with us. We drove from Aktobe to Uralsk - it's almost 500 km. It was night and terribly cold: -30°C overboard. And then the stove broke on the bus. A terrible thing began - we were freezing, putting socks on our stiff hands ... Fortunately, the driver remembered that he had medical alcohol in his first aid kit. We were glad that we would warm up now, but when we saw the volume of the bottle, we sighed in disappointment, because there was only 200 grams in it. And we are 15 people!
And suddenly someone suggested - they say, let's rub ourselves with alcohol, it also warms. No sooner said than done! Fortunately, cotton wool was found in the first-aid kit, and we, throwing off what our conscience allowed, energetically set to work. I don’t know what helped here more - alcohol or collective laughter and banter with each other, half-dressed in an ice bus, but we really got better. Fortunately, at dawn we were already at the hotel. True, then they did not yet assume that troubles were just beginning on a fun night trip.
Director Lesha Kasatkin forgot to take a suitcase with phonograms on tour - not a single record with him. Everyone is in hysterics, and especially Vlad, whose voice has sat down due to nightly adventures. “How do you imagine it? I will go on stage and will “Love does not live here anymore” wheeze?! Vlad shouted. - Yes, they will laugh at me! It's a shame!" With these words, the singer flew out of the room.
We were alarmed: where did he run, why? Five hours left until the concert! And you can’t call him - there were no cell phones then. Vlad returned only at three o'clock. How come back! On a police car, in a torn jacket and with a black eye! We were speechless ... And he shook hands with the law enforcement officer who brought him, and as if nothing had happened came up to us: “Well, are you waiting for it?” We began to ask him where he was, who hit him.

It turns out that after wandering around the hotel for half an hour and freezing to the bone, Vlad asked passers-by where the nearest market was, and went there for ... his CD. I went to the tray, found the album "Vlad-21", stood in line. When it came time to pay, it turned out that the disc cost 30 thousand, while in Moscow it could be bought at any kiosk for 15 thousand. Vlad was outraged by this, and he turned to the seller, a tall middle-aged Azerbaijani: why is it so expensive? But he did not like Stashevsky's question, he was rude in response. Vlad was indignant - they didn’t recognize him, they were also rude! In general, word for word, and our star got in the face, and in the brawl this kingpin tore his jacket. Seeing the state of emergency on his territory, a local policeman ran up to the fighting - he began to whistle, separate. And, as luck would have it, not only did he not recognize Vlad, he also thought that he was drunk. Alcohol, he says, reeks of you, my friend, let's proceed to the department!
And he dragged Stashevsky, who, unfortunately, had his passport at the hotel, into his UAZ. And over his explanations that he was sober, and indeed a famous person, he only chuckled: “Yeah, of course, you are Stashevsky, and I am Pugacheva.” They brought, in general, our poor fellow to the station. There, too, a popular singer was not recognized in him, which is not surprising: the jacket is torn, the eye is swollen, blood oozes from the nose, it smells of alcohol ... Vlad explains - they say, the smell is due to being rubbed. One policeman began to look closely: “Listen, you really look like this Stashevsky. My daughter listens to him, the whole room is covered in posters. And tonight, by the way, she is going to a concert, all her ears were buzzing ... "
Then suspicions crept into everyone, the policemen called their colleagues and began to conduct a survey - Stashevsky was in front of them or not. Vlad says to them: do you want to sing? Or we went to a hotel together, my colleagues are there, and at the same time you can look at your passport. As a result, the law enforcement officers believed him and even volunteered to escort him so that nothing else would happen to our unfortunate singer. Luckily, the performance went well. We made up Vlad, but no one noticed that he sang to the record obtained in a fight in the market.
