A few years ago, the names of producer Alexander Shulgin and the young singer Yulia Mikhalchik thundered throughout the country. Passions did not subside: either they converged, or parted ... Then everything fell silent. What were the relations between Alexander Shulgin and Yulia Mikhalchik, what is between them now?
Alexander
Alexander Valeryevich Shulgin was born in the Siberian city of Irkutsk on August 25, 1964. Musician, composer, songwriter of many popular artists, businessman.
Childhood
Little Alexander was connected with music from a very early age: at the age of three he received a small player as a gift from his grandfather. For days on end, the baby spent next to him, listening to music. And becoming a little older, he began to write poetry and dedicated the first to his mother.
The love of music brought him together with the older guys. While still in the sixth grade, he communicated quite closely with high school students, took from them to rewrite songs that were popular in those years. From the same age, Sasha began to play the guitar in the school ensemble - first hits of our time, then they began to perform songs of their own composition. After the eighth grade, the time came for active writing - Alexander first tried to write music.
Formation and rise
While studying at the institute, Alexander met the Moscow team "Carnival", who came to Irkutsk on tour. Sasha left a good impression of himself, and the musicians invited him to Moscow. Thus began a new stage in the life of Shulgin.
In Moscow, the young man met the Cruise group and began working with them. The chamber-instrumental ensemble released songs, toured the country with concerts, and went on tour abroad. For four years the musicians lived and worked in Germany. And when the time for change came, Cruise ceased to exist. Shulgin continued to live in Germany for some time, got acquainted with the world of show business, wrote lyrics and music.
Returning to Russia, he, of course, settled in Moscow and began to work closely with various pop stars - both already well-known and just starting out. In parallel, he had his own business, also related to music.
Alexander and Valeria
In the early nineties, a fateful acquaintance took place in the life of Alexander Shulgin. In one of the Moscow nightclubs, he saw a beautiful girl, an aspiring singer. Shulgin liked the girl so much that he invited her to cooperate. So from the unknown singer Alla Perfilova, the successful star Valeria was born. And a little later, the creative union grew into a romantic relationship.
In the marriage of Valeria and Shulgin, three children were born - Anya, Artem and Arseny. However, despite this, their married life did not work out. At the beginning of the 2000s, there was a loud divorce, during which the singer spoke about the difficult nature of her ex-husband and that he often raised his hand both to her and to their children. After the divorce, Alexander was left alone - without a wife, children and a successful protégé. A new invitation helped him to escape from numerous lawsuits and press attacks - he was called as a producer on the TV project "Become a Star".
Julia
Yulia Sergeevna Mikhalchik was born in the Leningrad region, in the small town of Slantsy, on February 2, 1985. She became known to a wide audience after the Star Factory project of the third season, in which she took third place.
Childhood
As Julia's parents joke, the girl aspired to a career as a singer from a very young age - she was terribly talkative and did not stop for a second. She loved animals very much, and not only cats and dogs, but also spiders and frogs (for her strong sympathy for the latter, later, already at the Star Factory, Julia will receive a funny nickname “Kva” from the guys). However, the love of music outweighed the love of living creatures, and abilities played an important role. Yulia was sent to study music in the piano class - she was not yet six then. And at six, she first appeared on stage with a funny solo song "Kis-meow." This is how her work began.
Serious creativity
Since the age of eleven, Julia has been a regular participant in various festivals and competitions in St. Petersburg. She didn't just perform - she won and soon became a local celebrity. Much later, after the "Factory", giving an interview, Yulia will say that she was a star in St. Petersburg. And do not lie. A girl with a beautiful appearance and a strong voice was also noticed by TV people. On one of the St. Petersburg channels, Yulia, while still at school, hosted a youth program. At the beginning of the 2000s, she went to Jurmala and Narva to music competitions - from there she also returned with awards.
In 2002, she graduated from high school, entered the university and studied for a year. After the summer holidays, her classmates met again, preparing for the second year of study. Yulia was not among the guys - by that time she was already in Moscow.
Star Factory
The TV project "Star Factory" on Channel One in the fall of 2003 opened its doors to young talents for the third time. The place of the producer was offered to Shulgin, and he agreed. According to many fans of the popular show, it was the third season that was in many ways the best - and the guys there were all artistic, friendly, and their songs were wonderful. It was there that the mature, experienced Shulgin and Yulia Mikhalchik met, the development of which was subsequently followed by the whole country.
But Alexander Shulgin met not at all on the project and not even at the casting for him. Actually, Julia came to the casting only because the producer himself called her there. The fact is that the girl was not in Moscow because of the sensational project. She arrived at the final of the next competition, was going to perform, return home and go to school in September. But it was at this competition that Shulgin met her. Impressed by the powerful range of the young artist, he told her about the upcoming casting for the "Factory" and invited her to come. And when Yulin heard a refusal, he called her a fool. Mikhalchik could not bear such a thing. She went to the casting and got on the project.
Throughout the show, Julia was one of the most diligent "students". I attended all the classes and completed all the tasks of the teachers. Immediately acquired a fairly large circle of fans who fell in love with the girl for her obvious talent, good voice and human qualities - Yulia was extremely calm and friendly to everyone. The life of the "manufacturers" was shown live, many eyes were closely watching them. However, most did not even suspect that already at that very time the love story of Shulgin and Yulia Mikhalchik began to develop rapidly. For many, it was a real shock when, at the end of the project, Alexander asked for the girl's hand in front of a huge audience.
Alexander Shulgin and Yulia Mikhalchik: life together
When Yulia was asked if she was afraid of repeating the situation with Valeria, she only brushed it off - Alexander is not like that with her. Anyway, according to the girl, she didn’t even know about what happened in the Shulgin family. In fact, after the project, everything was not so smooth. Later, recalling her short life with Alexander, Yulia noted that he did not beat her, but clearly restrained himself, nevertheless causing her physical pain. She spoke in the press about the humiliation by the former producer, public screams, and the use of force.
Despite the public offer, the registration of marriage did not happen. Much later, when all the passions subsided, Julia said that she did not count on marriage. I must say that the more time passed after the break, the more restrained and better Yulia spoke about Shulgin, noting that this is probably her memory - she throws out everything superfluous and does not remember the bad. But all these interviews will happen later, and then, in 2004, after consulting with her mother, the girl packed up and left. The story of Shulgin and Yulia Mikhalchik turned out to be short-lived.
A few years later, recalling her life together with Alexander, Yulia will say that their relationship was not romantic, she will note that only she was waiting for romance, due to her age. Alexander Shulgin and Yulia Mikhalchik turned out to be too different for them to succeed.
Alexander Shulgin: current years
In 2008, the producer released three albums of instrumental music of his composition. For the anniversary of his native city of Irkutsk, he wrote a hymn.
He is fond of religion and even entered the faculty of theology. He still writes music, last year he became a co-producer of a film starring Ornella Muti. He is engaged in business, does not advertise his personal life.
Julia Mikhalchik: life after Shulgin
Regarding the personal life of Shulgin and Yulia Mikhalchik, there are still many rumors and questions. Alexander prefers to remain silent, but Julia, on the contrary, is quite frank. She admits that she stayed with the former producer on good terms, they are friends, periodically call up. She emphasizes that she can always turn to Shulgin for help and get it.
After leaving Shulgin, for some time Yulia worked with another well-known producer, Viktor Drobysh. She released several clips, recorded many hits, and continues to work to this day. In 2011, she got married, and two years later gave birth to a son, whom she named Sasha.
The story of Alexander Shulgin and Yulia Mikhalchik once again shows how blind love can sometimes be. However, any experience is an experience, and, perhaps, from this point of view, everything that happened is not accidental?!
Childhood
Alexander wrote his first poem in elementary school. And, of course, it was dedicated to my mother.In the sixth grade, Sasha became interested in music. He began to take music from high school students and rewrite it on reels. It turned out that on one side there were records of "ABBA", on the other - songs of "Led Zeppelin". At the age of 12, Shulgin played in the school ensemble. Life was filled with playing the guitar, songs and constant rehearsals.
Initially, the school team played those songs that were part of the generally accepted school repertoire of that time. For example, the compositions of the Gems group, then foreign songs were used, as well as the music of Time Machine and Sunday.
At the graduation party, the team already played their own songs. Naturally, at that time the guys did not have equipment. The parents bought guitars for the members of the ensemble, but the guys made the amplifier themselves from improvised means.
One summer, older guys dragged a megaphone out of the city park. Bass guitar began to pass through it. The ensemble was rehearsing in the building of a state institution and its director saw a megaphone from the musicians. When he found out about his origin, he immediately turned to the police. As a result, all the boys were given two years probation. Alexandra, however, was not brought to trial because of her age - he was less than 14 years old.
From music, this incident did not force him to give up. The guys began to design columns, and then completely changed the technique. At this time, Shulgin plunged headlong into composing music. At the same time, he managed to study well at school. By the way, in the seventh grade, the future composer even represented Irkutsk at the Mathematical Olympiad and returned with a victory.
After school, Sasha entered the institute, but did not give up music. Sometimes he, along with musicians, performed on city dance floors.
Carier start
One day the Carnival group arrived in Irkutsk. The musicians met Alexander Shulgin and were invited to Moscow. The young man went to the capital and met the Cruise group there. At that time, a decree appeared banning rock bands. Alexander began to go through the authorities and ensured that the state commission accepted the Cruise program. The musicians called themselves a chamber-instrumental ensemble that played the classics in modern processing. At that time, own songs were under the strictest ban. After a series of concerts, the guys ended up in Germany. There they lived for four years. Well, after the "Cruise" ceased to exist. Relationships in the team deteriorated due to ambition. 
Shulgin stayed in Germany and began to learn the whole system of show business. He worked with world celebrities in the studio, implemented several local projects and returned to Moscow. And in the Russian capital, Shulgin began to engage in entrepreneurship: he opened firms and joint ventures.
However, Alexander Shulgin did not forget about creativity. He continued to write. Music and words were born and deposited in memory.
Acquaintance with Valeria
Just at that time, foreign specialists arrived in Moscow to implement the project. It was possible to invite them to only one place - a bar on Taganka. It was he who was visited by all foreigners and diplomats. Shulgin visited there often and knew perfectly well who worked there. By the way, Igor Matvienko and Sergey Mazaev sang there.Alexander and his partners came to the club and saw a young singer whom Shulgin did not know. Colleagues noticed that the girl had a very beautiful voice. After the concert, the musician plucked up courage and approached the artist. He left his phone and explained that he would like to cooperate. This girl turned out to be Alexander's future wife, singer Valeria.
The next day, the artist called, and after a couple of weeks she was recording in the studio. However, at first it didn’t work out well, because there were eternal creative disputes. With sin in half, the work was completed, by the way, in the end, cooperation went like clockwork.

And at this stage, Valeria and Sasha realized that they were interested in each other not only as work partners. As a result, Shulgin confessed his love. At that time, the singer was married, but two months later she divorced and began to live with her yesterday's colleague. A few months later, Valeria became pregnant. Daughter Anya was born.
From the outside, the marriage seemed perfect. But later Valeria told what she had experienced over the years. The incomprehensible aggression of the spouse began to manifest itself as soon as the wife and daughter were discharged from the hospital. Once at dinner, Valeria says, it seemed to Alexander that she said something wrong. Shulgin immediately plunged a knife into her knee so that blood spurted in all directions.
But after such an incident, Valeria did not leave her husband. She was held by feelings, then a new album. During the preparation of the disc, it just turned out that the artist was pregnant for the second time - with her son Artem.
“I still can’t forget,” says Valeria, “how little Artyom got sick in the car. Shulgin hit him in the face so that the one-year-old baby's ear turned black. Moreover, the father locked his son in an aviary with a dog - as a punishment. Then he called the child nothing more than a "piece of shit."

In November 1998, the Shulgins had a third child, Arseniy. By the way, while still pregnant, Valeria filed for divorce. Then Alexander did not live with his family and did not know anything about the third child. As soon as he found out about the interesting position of his wife, he began to beg to return. Then they entered into a marriage contract - Shulgin promised to improve. But this did not happen and Valeria, together with the children, went to her parents. By the way, Shulgin himself denies all the accusations of his ex-wife.
And at this time, a lot of invitations rained down on Shulgin. He, in particular, was invited to the project "Become a Star". Later, he was accused of abandoning the collective of manufacturers "Other Rules".

Valeria said that she broke up with her first husband, musician Leonid Yaroshevsky because of his infantilism. Despite the fact that they came together to conquer Moscow, the man soon gave up.
A few decades later, Leonid decided to publish a book dedicated to his former famous wife. In it, he categorically states that Valeria ruined his life. The singer, in turn, explained why she divorced him at the beginning of her career.
“Willless, spineless... Dear Lenya, who, unfortunately, could not grow into a real man. It was a youthful marriage. I really felt sorry for him. It is very difficult to be a nanny for an adult man, no matter what he writes in his defense now, ”shared Valeria.
The singer admitted that their relationship had grown cold and for the last six months before the divorce, they simply lived as neighbors - under the same roof. Being married to Yaroshevsky, Valeria met the talented composer Alexander Shulgin. The actress said that at first she did not like him at all. They were connected only by work in a music studio.
However, over time, Valeria and Alexander became close. The artist admitted that Shulgin did literally everything for her. It was he who created for her a stage image that the whole country fell in love with, the composer was the author of the first successful songs. Valeria said that she initially saw Shulgin's aggression. The composer had a very complex character. He often raised his voice and used foul language. But the singer hoped that she could change her husband. Moreover, the artist decided to marry the producer. Already approaching the church, Alexander again made a scandal. He threw a prayer book out of the car window, which the singer was holding in her hands.
“I understood that it was the demon that twisted him. I just prayed, it pissed him off even more. She said to herself: “I need to get there, get there. We agreed with the father." Can you imagine what state I was in after that? The mood has not improved. I thought, "Some miracle must happen." And he again and again ... When we left the temple, the same thing began. Then I realized that it didn’t work, ”Valeria recalled.
Valeria decided to hang out with Shulgin after the birth of her daughter and two sons. According to her confession, she understood that she could no longer live with a man who mocks her and their children. Morally and physically.
“Maybe the work pulled me out, I had 32 concerts in one month. I was so tired. I called him, and he again began to find fault. I suggested: “Sasha, let's live somewhere else. He left, visited the children only in my absence, ”added Valeria.
The singer said that Shulgin was counting on her return. But she finally broke up with the composer. Now the producer refuses to communicate with his daughter Anna and sons - Artemy and Arseniy. According to the singer, she sometimes meets the ex-husband at concerts or social events, but Alexander does not even greet his own children.
Valeria told Korchevnikov about another blow of fate. In 2009, the artist lost her father. “He was sick ... He had problems with blood vessels, he was admitted to the hospital: to put stents. These are struts that help blood flow through the vessels. One of them closed. Why did this happen? Unclear. The worst thing was to tell my mother, ”the artist recalled.
Together with her current husband Joseph Prigozhin, Valeria supported her parent, Galina Nikolaevna. “It was necessary to distract my mother, which we tried to do. We suggested that she undergo an operation abroad, check her health, then we went to Milan, traveled a lot. For almost a month, my mother was with us, she lived some kind of unusual life, it was a kind of psychotherapy, ”said Valeria.
