And I'm not talking about a university, but in general - you need to know at least one foreign language. But work on I didn’t intend to do my specialty, because music and the stage are my vocation, I don’t know how to do anything else on a professional level, ”she said.

Later, together with her husband, she moved to Moscow, but then returned to Sevastopol again.

Then, in the capital's Mir concert hall, composer Kashin presented a new project, Decadence, and Maksimova became the voice of this group.

Personal life of Elena Maximova:
She was married to Vadim Gitlin (later became the head of the Roskontrol Consumer Union). In marriage, a daughter, Diana, was born. Almost immediately after the birth of their daughter, they broke up.
She was in a relationship with a fellow singer. The artists recorded joint songs, but after some time their cooperation ceased. At the time of their relationship, the couple did not share details - Kungurov was married to actress Natalya Troitskaya. But after he left his wife and gave a frank interview, Maximov also broke the silence. Eugene told reporters that he repented of his ex-wife, and his mistress became only a litmus test that revealed problems in relations with Natalia.
Elena Maksimova was offended by the words of her former lover: “Zhenya, in one of the interviews, without indicating my name, called me “litmus test.” Thank you for not being a piece of toilet paper. Maybe he is hurt and offended and he asks his wife for forgiveness for treason. But he humiliated not only me, but also his ex-wife, saying that he outgrew her. I can’t meet a married man, so I told Zhenya: “Determine yourself.” But this is only the first step for the relationship to start honestly. take more steps. Zhenya did not take them ... I did not interfere in Zhenya's marriage to Natalya Troitskaya. Why did I seduce him? Maybe I ran away from him without looking back. "
At the moment, according to Elena, her heart is not free, the singer's chosen one is a musician with whom she has been working for many years.
Finalist of the second season of the show "Voice" Elena Maksimova since childhood, she aspired to the stage, but she had to go to her goal for 20 years. At some stage, the singer was forced to start everything from scratch - in a foreign city, without money, with a little daughter in her arms ... But now, according to her confession, everything is finally going as it should

Last year, Elena Maksimova was already in great demand: she performed with the orchestra for ten days as part of the Spasskaya Tower military music festival, gave several concerts in St. Petersburg, recorded a song that Leonid Agutin gave her, shot a video for it, then composed a composition “Our first New Year”... “This song was written by myself, I still don’t understand how,” says Elena. - In three minutes I came up with words, music, then I took everything to the arranger, and we shot a New Year's video with the participants of the Voice project. And on the day of the presentation, they called me from Channel One and said that this song would be the final anthem on New Year's Light.
Elena, at the Five Stars festival in Yalta last summer, you also performed with the anthem. Do you specialize in them?
(smiling.) I don't know, maybe this is my destiny? With that song, everything turned out the same as with the New Year's one, only my daughter Diana became the ideological inspirer. We were driving to celebrate her birthday, I had a car full of her classmates, and suddenly a song started playing in my head. Initially, I was invited to Yalta to sing "Two Stars" in a duet with another member of the "Voice", Sharip Umkhanov, but then I realized that I was now writing a hymn to "Five Stars"! Yalta is my native place, I come from Sevastopol. During the festival, everyone was celebrating the entry of Crimea into Russia, and I myself had just received a Russian passport.
As they say, the stars aligned.
Yes!.. And we are driving in a car, I'm driving with one hand, writing the lyrics of the song with the other... When we arrived at our destination, the song was already ready, and a few days later it was recorded. You know, I really like the energy of something large-scale, I constantly feel the desire to unite everyone. And I worked well in groups - in the musical We Will Rock You, and in the Non Stop group, and in Reflex ...

You have nothing to do with Reflex.
Here you need to figure it out. Despite the fact that the participants perform in rather revealing costumes, there are wonderful vocals and live singing at concerts. Ira Nelson is a great singer and artist. Slava Tyurin is a talented composer and producer. It was he who invited me to the group when, after the New Wave in 2008, I looked around in search of myself. At that time I had a seemingly quite successful track “Angel Wings” on my hands, but there were no connections and understanding of what to do next. I always wanted to pursue a solo career, and after The Wave, it seemed to me that I had learned something and could handle everything myself. But then I realized that no, I can't. A year later, Slava called me - even before the "Wave" I worked for him in the Non Stop group - and said: "Come to us at Reflex."
And you immediately agreed?
I have a lot of respect for their work, so I agreed without a doubt. But she didn’t light up in the group much, because at that time there was some simple: Slava and Ira lived in Los Angeles, they wrote albums there, and there was no time to work with the group, by and large. But I have established relationships in the right circles. In general, the first offer that I received after working at Reflex was to star in a men's magazine. At first I refused, and then I thought: why not? The yacht, the sea, I am the master of the situation, they promised me that I would shoot as I want, besides, the photographer is my old friend Roma Kadaria ... But then the editors and I fought hard for every photo - I wanted to choose less frank, but more aesthetic. It wasn't easy.
And what happened after Reflex?
I participated in the national selection for Eurovision with a song written by Swedish authors, but after that everything stalled for a while, and then I got on the Voice. At the blind audition, all four chose me - Leonid Agutin, Dima Bilan, Alexander Gradsky, and Pelageya.
And you weren't ready for this...
I thought: “My God, I have to decide.” Agutin did not show any special emotions, and Dima, I remember, jumped up and started screaming, Polya also supported, and Gradsky gave me the last place in his team, although there was still a whole day of casting ahead and among the fifty participants there could be someone more talented. I was very flattered and now I want to say a big thank you to everyone. Everyone who knows me knows that I have been going to this for a very long time. As a result, I worked with Leonid Agutin, which I am very glad about: he is a talented composer, a wonderful artist who performs all the production tasks himself. And I have always strived for the same. I had two producers, but somehow it didn’t work out with them, and now I act on my own.
So now you are your own mistress?
Yes, but my team helps me. You must have your own management, because it is impossible to iron your suit and think about where you need to go and what to write down at the same time. Sometimes I don’t have time to put on makeup, comb my hair, or eat, I even came to my own presentation after drinking only one cup of coffee. Now I learn from my mistakes, I write a lot, I try to show everything I can. Thank God, The Voice gave us all the opportunity to be heard. There are audiences and that motivates me to write new songs like Our First New Year. By the way, my daughter took it for a school event - she asked for a backing track, redid the text and presented it at her New Year's Light » . (smiling.)
Is she into music too?
Diana belongs to the category of children who, having creative parents, like to do everything themselves: she sings, comes to the studio, records something, participates in theater productions at school, organizes some events. We see her, unfortunately, actually once a day, or even less often, so I try to take her to all shootings, she also starred in my video. I don’t pull her into show business, because ... For example, at her age I couldn’t imagine my life without music, without a stage, without all this paraphernalia, but everything is different with her. She is a person of mood: when she is comfortable, she can be very, very bright, when not, she gets tired quickly. My mother didn’t drag me anywhere either, I shook her myself: “Do something, I need to sing.” ( smiling.) In Sevastopol, there was the only group in which I later ended up. It was called "Multi-Max", and there were many Maxims and Maximovs. It's just fate that I got there. I sang in it for six years and as an artist I learned a lot.
But what about the classic parental “you need to get a serious profession”?
And I received a specialty - I graduated from the Institute of Foreign Languages in Sevastopol. I understood that I needed it for life. And now the knowledge of English and French helps to sing songs and communicate with people on tour. Now languages are a completely natural and obligatory element of education. And I'm not talking about the university, but in general - you need to know at least one foreign one. But I was not going to work in my specialty, because music and the stage are my vocation, I can’t do anything else at a professional level.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you had very many prospects in Sevastopol. How did you see your future?
There were and are very good music schools. My mother saw how rhythmic I was, how I can listen and hear music, and sent me to school. If she hadn't done this... In general, everything comes from the parents, they must definitely develop the child's talents. At school, teachers took me up, they told my mother: “You have a talented child who will go to competitions.” My mother still sometimes asks me: “How is this possible? Maybe they changed you in the maternity hospital? He does not understand how it is in a family where there are no musicians that a person has appeared who is engaged in music at a certain professional level.
And who are your relatives by profession?
Mom is a teacher, dad is a military man, grandmother is a school director, another grandmother is a primary school teacher, grandfather is a physics teacher ... These are also creative professions, in fact. A good teacher is an artist. People came to my relatives for open lessons to look at this stage action. ( smiling.)
Elena, there is a gap in your creative biography, you were married then. Did they leave the stage for the sake of the family?
(Thinking.) I'm the type of person who can't do many things at the same time. If I am closely engaged in artistic activities, then I have little time left for my family, and then my mother and all relatives join in to feed me almost from a spoon. After getting married, I took care of myself, my pregnancy, apartment, borscht. I was just such a wife-wife. My husband and I came to Moscow together from Sevastopol, and I built a family hearth in a city that was still unfamiliar. I understood: when the child is born, I will be with him for some time, and I didn’t have the thought, like many colleagues, that “I’ll take a short break and then go to work.” Perhaps if I now remarried and gave birth to a second child, then I would have argued that way, but then - no. I didn’t know at all whether my career would start, because I had absolutely nothing here. I only watched TV and dreamed about the stage, but also dreamed of having a happy family - a beloved and loving husband, a child whom I was really looking forward to. But it didn't work out.
What happened?
I realized that nothing would work out with my husband, and I started all over again. I have a small child in my arms. My father was sick. I, too, was not completely healthy: difficult childbirth, postpartum depression, lack of milk ... I did not get out of the hospital: my daughter constantly had a stomachache, she did not sleep. And at that moment we remained in the women's team. My father is gone. With Diana's dad, we already had different lives. And my mother helped me with the child for twelve years so that I could do my job. She pulled the family, and I was a dad to myself and to Diana - I earned money, realizing that there was no one to count on. This is how we existed. We also had a cat, but she died. Now I feel like I'm my own daughter's child, because Diana has outgrown me in some ways.
Is she an independent girl?
Absolutely. She can live alone for weeks, cook her own breakfasts and still not be late for school. We don’t have this: wake me up, iron my shirt and take me away, and then wait with dinner. We never had a babysitter. Now Diana has grown up, she does everything herself.
Diana is thirteen, a difficult age begins. Looking forward to some teenage rebellion?
No, so far the only problem is that she cut her hair, as much as 15 centimeters. I wanted volume, curls. How I screamed! “Diana, you don’t need more, then you will want long ones and you won’t know how to grow them!” ( Smiling.) I started to paint already, but with restraint. Her dad, whom she sees once every few months - despite the fact that they live in the same city - is against it, and in general everyone is against it. In general, Diana and I, of course, are not without conflicts, but I am very proud of her, I have an amazing child. She has a stem. And that's why I know I can rely on her. Sometimes she says to me: “Mom, stop it, mom, what are you doing?” We have a partnership with her. We have been living as roommates for two years already, sharing our nice rented apartment for two.
Rented apartment?
About housing - it's generally lovely. I have been waiting for my apartment since 2008. Everything I ever earned, I invested in it. That is, in fact, I have no money, they are all there. And the house was being completed for twelve years - it started back in 2002. And all this time we
with Diana lived on suitcases. Perhaps soon we will finally move into our own housing, hooray! Some time ago, an excellent initiative group of equity holders decided to draw the attention of the press to the problem and asked me to contribute to publicity. I sang in ruins, on concrete. The governor of the Moscow region, the TV channels 360° Podmoskovye and Rossiya 1, and other reporters came. A few months - and the problem was solved. One of these days we should get the keys to our apartment.
Wow, when I saw you on stage - blooming and laughing, I thought that everything in your life had been arranged for a long time.
You know, nothing ever comes easy. When I appeared on stage, I had a blue dress, artificial diamonds for one and a half thousand rubles, I was tanned - I came from Sevastopol. And someone thought: “Yeah, everything is tied up with her, she bought everyone.” And when they ask me how everything works out for me, I tell them how much to eat first. I don't want to say: look how difficult my life was. She is difficult for everyone. They just think about those who are on TV: “What problems can they have at all? Children were born from the oligarchs, everything is free for them. And if the artist is divorced, then everyone is sure that she, let's say, lives well on compensation. This is far from always the case.
I see you are very upset by this attitude.
Yes. But now things are finally going really well. Friends come up and say: “Lena, congratulations, you have been going to this for so many years, you deserve it!” I tell everyone: "Guys, the main thing is to really, really want." And do not forget about all sorts of karmic things: you need to give more to people, do good, love more, sing for free. I often did this at charity events and in orphanages. And my mother, whom I now sent to rest, also repeats: “Lena, you don’t need to constantly do this for money, do as much as possible for people just like that.”

Childhood and youthful years of the artist
Lena was born ninth August 1979 years in the resort town of the Crimean peninsula - Sevastopol. In this sunny city, to the sound of the surf, the singer's childhood and youth passed. From an early age, the girl began to sing. Lena's magical voice and absolute pitch were discovered back in kindergarten, where the young singer went. Her mother worked as a teacher in the same kindergarten. The head of the family was a military man. Grandmother worked as a primary school teacher, and grandfather taught physics all his life.
Elena was the star of all matinees, she performed almost non-stop. Her crowning performance was the song of the elephant trainer.

At the age of eleven, Lena began performing in the Multi-Max ensemble. Our heroine, as part of a children's team, traveled to many cities of the country, where she took part in various competitions for children's talents. The ensemble often brought home victories.

Therefore, Elena had to apply to the university for the faculty of foreign languages, which the girl graduated with honors. Her parents had big financial problems, so the girl started working from an early age. She sang in the open areas of the Crimean rest houses and sanatoriums, as well as in nightclubs and cafes. It was during this part-time job that Maksimova realized that she wanted to become a singer.
Soon after, Lena went to receive a long-awaited theatrical education at the Russian Institute of Theater Arts at the Black Sea branch.

In 2004, Elena decided to take a chance to come to the casting of the musical "We will Rock You". To the surprise of the girl herself, she outperformed several hundred competitors and made it to the main team. The project consultant was Brian May, a member of the legendary Queen band.

Elena was born in 1979 in the Crimea in the hero city of Sevastopol. The girl began to sing from early childhood, since at the age of 4 she showed perfect pitch and a good voice. Mom developed her natural gift in every possible way. She sent her daughter to a music school, and at the age of 11 Lena became a member of the Multi-Max ensemble, with whom she performed a lot and toured the country.
Despite the fact that from childhood Elena dreamed of an artistic career, her mother insisted that her daughter receive a serious education, and Lena entered the University at the Faculty of Foreign Languages. But after graduating from the university, she nevertheless decided to fulfill her dream and entered GITIS, namely, its Black Sea branch. By the way, this course was located in the Sailor Club Theater, which belonged to the Black Sea Fleet, so it is not surprising that the gifted girl was noticed and offered to become a soloist in the Black Sea Fleet Orchestra. It was a truly invaluable singing experience for her, as she often performed and took part in major festivals and competitions together with the orchestra. And besides this, Elena performed at the local Music Hall and gave concerts in Crimean sanatoriums.
By the way, after graduating from the University, the girl did not work in her specialty, since the main thing in her life was music, but her knowledge of foreign languages was very useful to her in the future.
In 2004, Elena managed to pass the casting for participation in the musical "We will rock you", leaving behind more than 1000 applicants and getting into the main cast. And Brian May, who became her consultant on this project, noted that she has excellent pronunciation and an amazing timbre of voice.
