A rather popular group with Eva Polna at the head, immediately won the wide love of the public with their good arrangements and quickly riveted a lot of catchy hits that girls tearfully sang in almost all discos of the vast Motherland. Songs such as "Dislike", "Run from me" and, of course, "Love me in French" became integral compositions in the playlist of any self-respecting bachelorette party of the 90s and 2000s.
2. Disco Crash
Even the most inveterate rapper and the most hardened metal worker, no, no, and even remember the incendiary motives of this group, well, “Drink beer - eat meat” sounded from every iron at one time. Disco Crash, having gone through the death of one of the participants, has actually created many very good different songs and about love and about friendship and aram-zam-zam there too. Crowned by their creativity New Year rushing towards us, everything will happen soon ”- known from the first chords and recognizable by absolutely everyone.
3. Ivanushki International
The epic boy band of our country, where the members of the group have already become practically grandfathers, still continues to sing songs about unhappy girlish love. In the turbulent nineties, there was " Poplar fluff”, and “Bullfinches”, “Clouds”, “Dolls” - it was on these hits that the all-Russian popularity of one redhead and two non-redheads was won.
4. Lyceum
Darling girl group, changing soloists like gloves. Well, and whoever didn’t do this, you can remember, for example, such a crazy group as Strelki, where there were about 20 different girls on vocals and backup dancers, replacing each other regularly once a month. “Lyceum” against their background with the permanent Anastasia Makarevich was just a model of stability, and their “Autumn-autumn, the years have cooled down and shed their leaves” and “And I am a winter girl” have firmly and permanently ingrained in the brain of all our compatriots.
5. Mirage
The mastodons of this list, who started back in the USSR. A large number of squads and girls who grew up into independent stars like Vetlitskaya, Ovsienko or Saltykova, who traveled around the country in the 90s and collected entire stadiums. It was they who massively brought into the country electronic music, and I still remember very well how my parents lit up under "Music connected us"
6. Hands Up
Another epic and most popular mega-project named after Sergey Zhukov. If the progressive youth listened already to the Western clubbing, then the Russian youth in the outback came off to the frantic rhythms of the Hands Up. “Ai-yay-yay girl”, “I’m already 18” and others, still rattles at all sorts of discos of the 90s and regularly gathers halls.
7.Tattoo
Our "European breakthrough", lesbian image and incredible drive, of course, did their job and "tattoo" became popular not only in Russia. At first everything went well, really strong albums and hits - "They won't catch up with us", and at concerts they were laid out every time like the last one. Then the rehashing of Western hits began, songs in English, and the Russian audience began to slowly leave, and with it, popularity also waned.
8. Technology
The Technologiya group at one time claimed the laurels of the most advanced electronic disco group in young democratic Russia. Copying the insanely popular then "Depeche Mode", the group with its hit "Press the button - you get the result", managed to break through to fame and popularity and gathered at the Luzhniki arena, which at that time were rented to anyone and anything, a record 70 thousand Man, those were the times.
9.On-on
Perhaps the first sane boy band brought to our country four smiling guys who sang cute, meaningless songs about “Hat Fell, Fell to the Floor” and gained immense popularity among young and not so girls. They say that the group is still alive, and this is almost 20 years old, and still performs on tour somewhere abroad.
10. Inveterate scammers
Reckless and hooligan recitatives from Amoralov and the company, of course, remember all the "clear boys" of that time. The first bright hoodies, saggy pants and glasses of unimaginable shapes, as well as uncomplicated texts about how to glue a girl together, don’t worry and score on studies and ancestors, of course, found their way into the minds of young people after straight, like a stick, doctrines Soviet Union. Such was the time - every innovation was accepted with a bang, and each, even the weakest and most obscure of their albums, had some success.
Many people remember their childhood and youth with nostalgia. That is why performers of the 80-90s (Russians) are popular. The list can be continued almost endlessly. Indeed, at that time there were many acting singers of different genres. They have been basking in success for many years. There were also those whose fame faded after one hit. Here are a few short lists artists who were popular in the eighties and nineties.
Performers of songs of 80-90 years (Russian): list of men
At this time there were many singers who became famous thanks to the performance of several hits. In the first list, we did not include men who are now veterans of the scene and continue to tour actively. We will only talk about those who are currently undeservedly forgotten, although many of these singers are trying to repeat their past success:
These are not all popular performers of the 80-90s (Russian). The list is almost endless. We have selected only the most the brightest stars of that time, ignoring the talented Zhenya Belousov and Evgeny Osin. To this day, such singers as Philip Kirkorov, Valery Leontiev and Oleg Gazmanov perform.
Russian performers of the 80-90s: a list of women
The stage of that time was almost 70% composed of women. In those years, the country was heard by the songs of Irina Allegrova and Tatyana Bulanova. Dance hits were performed by Lada Dance. Soulful songs with a folk touch belonged to Nadezhda Kadysheva and her namesake Nadezhda Babkina.
The hits were sung by Russian performers of the 80s and 90s. The list consisted of people who made their way only due to their talent, and of those in whose "promotion" a lot of money was invested. Alsou and Lena Zosimova were called the "golden" children of show business of those years. These singers were promoted at the expense of their fathers, although it cannot be said that they did not have talent. The singers of one hit were Marina Khlebnikova and Natalie. Although the latter has recently released new song, who conquered the whole country - the hit "Oh God, what a man!".
The most famous bands of the 80-90s
The real breakthrough at that time was the success of the group " Tender May". This first boy band broke a lot of girls' hearts. On tour, the team collected stadiums. Several line-ups of the group even traveled around the country, the singers in which were remotely similar to the original performers. By analogy with this group, many singers began to perform under the soundtrack.
There were other successful performers of the 80-90s (Russians). The list of groups, for example, looks incomplete without mentioning Bari Alibasov's Na-na project. The team captivated the audience with its sexuality. Boys sometimes performed in costumes consisting of a single bunch of bananas. In addition to these the brightest groups, the country in those years listened to the songs of the following bands: "Combination", "Kar-men", "Hands up", "Nancy", "Gaza Strip", "Russian size" and " Inveterate scammers". Many of these groups subsequently broke up and gave rise to solo projects.
In the mid-nineties and early 2000s, there were many pop idols in our country. What is the work of Andrey Gubin or the Ladybug group worth. Many of their hits will be remembered for a lifetime. They still have fans, despite the fact that the performers of the famous hits themselves have long disappeared from sight. Woman's Day found out what happened to the twenty most popular artists that time.
Tramp boy
He was a favorite of schoolgirls, and cassettes with his hits were swept away like hot cakes. His angelic appearance and the voice broke more than one girl's heart, but such songs as "The Tramp Boy" or "Winter-Cold" sounded throughout the country.
Everything changed in 2007, when Gubin suddenly disappeared from television screens. It was said that the singer had problems with alcohol due to unrequited love to the girl. And someone even claimed that he had left Russia. To clarify the situation, you need to go back far into the past.
First album
His musical career began in the late eighties, not without the support of his father, Viktor Viktorovich Gubin, a former researcher and cartoonist, and by that time the vice-president of the Russian Commodity and Raw Materials Exchange, the owner of several recording studios.
Andrei's first professional album was released only in 1995, after Gubin met famous musician Leonid Agutin. This album was called the debut song of the singer - "The Tramp Boy" and very quickly conquered the tops of all popularity ratings.
sudden disappearance
Nevertheless, after his unprecedented rise in the second half of the nineties, Andrei suddenly disappeared from sight. The peak of his popularity came in 2000, when Andrei made tours not only in the cities of Russia, but also in the United States, Israel, Germany, Azerbaijan, Latvia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. After that, Gubin no longer gave new concerts, although he released another one. new album and a collection of his best songs.
Father's death
recession creative activity Andrei is undoubtedly associated with the deteriorating health of his father, who not only helped his son get into the world of show business, but also constantly supported him, largely guiding his career as a singer. After all, Andrei, according to the reviews of his colleagues, was distinguished by a very gentle character and needed paternal control.
The death of Viktor Viktorovich in 2007 led to the virtual cessation of his son's creative activity. For some time, by inertia, fans were interested in the ups and downs of their hero, and then slowly began to forget him.
Disease
Then rumors spread that Andrei was diagnosed with the disease. nervous system, which caused permanent severe pain in the area of the face. Doctors helped to overcome the spiritual crisis. He says that he was treated twice in the neurosis clinic.
Now
Today Andrei is already over 40. The ex-idol leads a reclusive life in Moscow, has noticeably recovered, but still dreams of returning to the stage.
“I look bad now, so I don’t perform. If I get into shape, I will definitely perform, but I'm not ready yet, - says the singer. “I write music all the time, I compose poetry, but for myself, I train my soul.”
Alexander Aivazov
Popularity
Alexander Aivazov is known to the general public as Sasha Aivazov as a pop singer of the 90s, who then sang a hit about "Lilies" and "Moon Butterfly". A popular but critically underestimated singer, Sasha Aivazov became famous back in 1989. Then his first hit sounded - "Lily". The image of a romantic teenager singing sincere and simple love songs was confirmed by the first two albums: “Don't be sad” and “Where are you?”.
The superhit “I beg you, don’t cry” becomes, as it were, a farewell to the singer’s teenage period. The song brings the matured Aivazov all-Russian popularity, which is soon confirmed by the third album. It comes out at the end of 1996, and in it Sasha already acts as a composer. "Moon Butterfly", "Time River", "It's Just a Game" are the undisputed hits of the latest release.
In general, the disc turns out to be very successful due to hit melodies, lightness, excitement of performance and a very colorful synthesis of flamenco, rockabilly and pop music. Yes, and the matured and matured Alexander himself appears in the guise of a kind of macho, attractive to fans, in no way resembling the lyrically touching Sasha of past years.
In 1998, fashionable "remixers", in particular Roman Ryabtsev, DJ Valdai, make dance versions of "Moon Butterfly". The artist himself has a noticeable creative crisis- having found his own style in "Moon Butterfly", Aivazov again embarked on experiments. And eventually turned into an ordinary pop singer, only unlike many colleagues who no longer promote themselves on television and radio.
His new hit"I'll guess you", which appeared in the fall of 1998, also did not impress. And in 1999, Alexander Aivazov, alas, who did not develop the success of "Moon Butterfly", unfortunately for the fans, leaves the charts.
Alcoholism
The artist never hid: with alcohol, he rarely happens on “you”. Aivazov liked to sit with friends over a little white bottle and almost never refused a glass or two at social events. Gradually, the habit grew into a serious addiction. The singer, who was under a degree, completely forgot about his former popularity and almost lost his family.
A year ago, Sasha's wife, Irina, left with her three-year-old son Nikita. She was tired of enduring her husband's drunkenness. To regain his wife's trust, the 41-year-old singer went to a drug treatment clinic for treatment.
“I drank to the point that every day I lie under droppers,” Alexander said then. - I myself am to blame for everything! But if Ira sends a lawyer, I will not sign any documents. I do not want to divorce her, I will fight for love. I realized everything and I want to fix everything. If she forgives me, I will never touch alcohol again in my life.
Rehabilitation at the Marshak Narcological Clinic
In the hospital, Aivazov courageously fought his addiction. All so that his beloved wife and son are near. The thought that he would eventually lose his family was unthinkable to him.
Every morning in the hospital, he started with a jog on fresh air through the hospital park and from yoga classes in the ward. Then a lot of rehabilitation procedures were carried out with him, conversations with a psychologist. In the end, everything worked out! Sasha stopped drinking and managed to save his family. Now he lives happily and is engaged in creativity. True, his popularity has gone forever.
Group Demo
Peak of popularity
Any school disco of the late nineties could not do without the hits of the Demo group. Alexandra Zvereva, the soloist of the group, never had outstanding vocal abilities. But this was not required of her.
Parting with the producer
In 2002, Zvereva and her producer Vadim Polyakov terminated the contract with ARS. Demo clips began to disappear from the air of music channels. And then the soloist announced that she was expecting a baby, and since then we have not heard anything about Demo.
Demo now
It turned out that the Demo group still exists, only in a different line-up. Well, Sasha Zvereva from time to time records solo songs, and also sews clothes for her brand.
“We did not stop touring, I traveled around cities and countries, even on recent months pregnancy, says mother Sasha Zvereva twice. – Over the years, Demo has released 7 albums. The group is not worried about being off the air: the tour continues, there is money for life. My main income is my man, and Demo is more of a hobby. We live apart, we have a club of fans and we believe that people will separate the wheat from the chaff and understand what is done artificially to make money, and what is done from the heart.”
Shura
Success and recognition
Once Shura, aka Alexander Medvedev, amazed the public with his own image and was one of the most discussed personalities on the national stage. The bright blond with no teeth yelled songs rather than sang, and behaved, to put it mildly, strangely.
However, this only helped many to believe that he had talent. Popularity became too heavy a psychological burden for Shura, he became addicted to drugs, which almost became fatal for him.
Terrible disease and drug addiction
The singer fell ill with cancer, but managed to overcome both ailments by undergoing chemotherapy and treatment for drug addiction. Of course, I had to move away from the past image. But look like normal person Shura obviously didn't want to.
Return
The singer inserted artificial teeth for himself, lay down under the scalpel several times plastic surgeons and returned to the stage in even more in a strange way– openly homosexual. Nevertheless, he has his audience to this day.
Tatyana Ovsienko
Former popularity
Previously, not a single one passed without performances by Tanya Ovsienko big concert, no solemn ceremony. But today, she is completely forgotten.
Once upon a time, the famous singer Tatyana Ovsienko had everything: money, career, fame. But one day she traded all this for the happy smile of a child. At one time, in pursuit of millions, the singer did not think about children until one moment.
Foster-son
One day, fate gave her an amazing meeting. Once Tatyana gave a concert in an orphanage and drew attention to little boy, Igor. Later, the singer was told that the parents abandoned the child when he was diagnosed with a neglected heart defect. According to the teachers, Igor was not a tenant, he needed the most complicated operation, but on her orphanage there was no money.
And then Tatyana seemed to light up, she realized that she could save this child. She immediately went to one of the best Moscow clinics, agreed on an operation, paid fabulous money for it, and Igor was successfully operated on. When the boy recovered from the operation, Tatyana took him to her home.
Ovsienko issued guardianship to him, and Igor officially became her son. In order to cook cereal for the baby and change diapers, Tatyana abandoned her job and lived with her unloved husband Vladimir Dubovnitsky for 18 years so as not to injure the child's psyche with a divorce. She would probably still share a bed with him if he had not found another and announced that he was leaving.
New love
Now Tatyana is preparing for a new marriage. Her chosen one was businessman Alexander Merkulov. The proposal was made quite a long time ago, but the celebration had to be postponed: the fact is that Merkulov spent 3.5 years in a pre-trial detention center under investigation. All this time, Tatyana morally supported her beloved, wrote letters, carried gear, and also gave 20 concerts a month to earn money for lawyers. In early June, Alexander was found not guilty. The 47-year-old singer met him at the courthouse. And now nothing prevents the lovers from getting married. The wedding is tentatively scheduled for the fall.
Irina Saltykova
Successful in everything
Not all women who sold clothes and cosmetics in tents in the 90s became famous singers and owners of their own serious business. Irina Saltykova succeeded in both - in turn.
Since childhood, Irina has been purposeful and independent child. In addition to school, she was engaged in a circle of cutting and sewing, was fond of knitting, went to training in rhythmic gymnastics.
Unsuccessful marriage
In 1986, a fateful meeting took place in Irina's life with her future husband Viktor Saltykov. Victor was struck by the beauty and charm of Irina. They got married, and a year later their daughter Alice was born.
Their marriage did not last long. According to the singer, this was due to Victor's addiction to alcohol. After parting with her husband, Irina went into business, but the profits were barely enough to live on, and then Saltykova decided to return to the stage and start a solo career.
Solo career
After the release of the video "Grey Eyes", Irina was known by the whole country. She was immediately dubbed a sex symbol and a new rising star. With each new song the singer only strengthened her popularity.
She has six albums in total, and the third, "Alice", she dedicated to her daughter. Actor career Irina was also quite successful: having played in the films "Brother-1, -2", she received critical acclaim.
Business
Now Irina is successfully running a business, she has a beauty and style house "Irina Saltykova", her own boutique and beauty salon. Little is known about the singer's personal life: she has a beloved man, but who he is, the singer keeps a secret. Songs remained in her life as a pleasant hobby.
Natalia Vetlitskaya
unexpected departure
For many years, the ex-soloist of the popular band Mirage managed to occupy the niche of a sexy singing blonde in the domestic show business. And the shots with her skirt lifted from the Playboy video became one of the symbols of the nineties. Natasha released a couple of albums that were literally swept off the shelves by fans, and then suddenly disappeared from the public eye.
With what they just did not associate the departure of the pop diva from the stage. She left the world of show business in silence, without giving a farewell concert and without explaining herself to the public. The disappearance of Natalia Vetlitskaya, who turned 50 in the fall of 2014, was her conscious decision.
The birth of a daughter
Vetlitskaya decided to radically change her life after the birth of her daughter Ulyana in 2004. According to a source close to the singer, she wanted to terminate her pregnancy. She was persuaded to leave the child by producer Viktor Yudin, who became last years her right hand and close friend. The name of the father of the child, Vetlitskaya, has not been made public to this day.
New life in Spain
In addition, after the birth of her daughter, the pop diva decided to leave not only the stage, but also Russia. When Ulyana was four years old, they permanently moved to live in sunny Spain.
Today, Natasha tries not to get into the field of view of journalists, she is raising her daughter and does not like to comment on her past. Although her personal life also had a lot interesting events- for example, a ten-day marriage to Yevgeny Belousov, an affair with the domestic oligarch Kerimov (who, as journalists said, gave her an airplane). But if earlier Vetlitskaya chose exclusively the rich and famous, today she is married to her yoga mentor.
Sergei Chumakov
Good start
Sergey's songs became popular in the early 90s. They bribed the audience with special energy. Surely everyone sang in karaoke "Do not offend, groom, a young girl." It all started in Moscow back in 1972.
A simple Moscow boy who graduated from a mechanical and construction technical school did not even dream of becoming a star. However, fate gave him a ticket to the world of music. It all happened thanks to a chance acquaintance with the poet Alexander Shaganov in 1988.
He became the producer of the young talented performer. In addition, Alexander had the necessary acquaintances on television. Thanks to this, Sergey got into the competition “ morning Star”, although he always sang only by ear. The first songs were generally rehearsed to the accordion. Of course, he had a desire to master musical notation but he was too hooligan guy. From music school kicked out for bad behavior.
Popularity
Since the beginning of 1991, Sergei has been successfully recording new hits, giving concerts and going on tour. A few years later, the young singer quarrels with producer Shaganov and leaves him.
Igor Azarov becomes Sergey's new producer. The album "Walk-walk" is released. The singer begins to work in the style of Western music of the 50s and 60s. Notable performers such as Elvis Presley, Paul Anka, Luis Prima influenced his works. During this period, the singer, who was losing popularity, even made peace with Alexander Shaganov. The third album "Like the First Time" included several songs on his poems. However, Chumakov's attempt to perform western music crashed. The album completely failed, and Chumakov disappeared from the screens.
Leaving the stage
It was rumored that Alla Pugacheva helped Chumakov both get on stage and leave it. Like, the song “Do not offend, groom”, which glorified Chumakov, was originally intended for the then favorite of the Diva, Sergei Chelobanov. For this, Pugacheva was offended and "closed" Chumakov's path to show business.
“Alla Pugacheva kindly invited me to sing in her Christmas Meetings,” says Chumakov. - Immediately after that, offers of tours rained down on me. As for the song, I didn't know that Shaganov first wrote it for Chelobanov and that Chelobanov had already sung it. Therefore, when Pugacheva told me: “Sergey, don’t sing this song again,” he was indignant. After all, the song became popular in my performance. I answered Alla Borisovna: “How can I not sing? What should I answer people: what did you forbid me to sing or have I lost my memory? And he continued to perform it. But I do not think that I disappeared from the screens because of this. I just couldn’t pay such huge money for broadcasts, as Pugacheva or Kirkorov did.”
Return
Today, Sergei is happily married to a woman who supports him in everything. He noticeably prettier and is again eager to fight. He started recording songs and is even preparing to release a new album in the near future.
Group "Ladybug"
famous hit
The project, created by the singer, composer and arranger Vladimir Volenko, became widely known in the mid-nineties. Then the album "Granite pebble" was released.
In 1997, "Ladybug" becomes one of the first projects of the new large audio and production company ORT-records, headed by general producer Joseph Prigogine. On the label of this company, two more discs of the group "My Queen" and "Woman of Dreams" are released. In 1999, another success of the project was Leonid Azbel's song "And the ship goes up the Volga", which immediately falls into the category of the second hit after "Granite Pebble". A disc with this track, as well as several songs by Elena Vaenga written for " ladybug”, published by Grand Records.
Line-up change
In 2000, the composition of the group changed radically, and Inna Anzorova was replaced by Natalya Poleshchuk, who, for her excessive love for sweets, Vladimir Volenko immediately assigns the pseudonym Shokoladkina. In 2004, a daughter, Dasha, was born in the family of Vladimir Volenko and Natalya Shokoladkina, and in 2008, Vladimir Jr. Therefore, during this period, the group rarely appears in the media space, but continues to actively give concerts. The last bright creative decision was the wedding duet "The First Dance of the Young", where the Volenko couple involved their own children in filming the video.
End of popularity
In recent years, the group has not been on television, but BK continues to perform and record albums.
Here is how Vladimir comments on the situation: “I am not an oligarch, not a “gay” and not a Jew. I am simple Russian citizen, a talented and hardworking musician, but today this is not enough. Today, to be in the public eye, you must either have millions of investments, or belong to a certain clan. You can also be on a contract with some serious company, where they will immediately let you know that the channel or producer is everything, and you are nothing. I, as a person and as an artist, preferred independence, therefore, today we are not on the blue screens. But it doesn't bother me."
As for earnings, the group has enough to live on, but, unfortunately, not enough for development. However, Vladimir does not really regret his fate. He is happily married and has two children.
Group "Tender May"
From the orphanage to the stars, or the Orenburg orphan
"Tender May" - cult musical group late 80s - early 90s. The first teenage group in the USSR was born in boarding school No. 2 in the city of Orenburg. Musical director was the author of all songs Sergei Kuznetsov, who led the musical circle in the orphanage. A calling card group (in which several compositions will later change) and the idol of millions of fans - 15-year-old orphanage Yura Shatunov.
“Thanks to the fact that I spent my childhood in an orphanage, I was able to save myself and not go astray. Because in the orphanage they don’t like greedy people, they don’t like sneaks, that is, they don’t like weak people. There, in order to live in a team, you need to adhere to certain laws. Otherwise, you will be kicked out of the group. And the same thing happened in adult life. But I was already ready for it. I cannot communicate with people from the point of view - "you are nobody, but I am a star." First of all, you need to think that this person today may be nobody, but in a year he can become much cooler than you. Although if they come across unpleasant people, then I just don’t talk to them, no matter how high they stand. I say: “Sorry, but I can’t, I don’t want to. I don't feel comfortable being around you."
The first album "White Roses" was recorded in February 1988 on a household tape recorder and sold by Kuznetsov to a recording kiosk for 30 rubles. A few months later, the recording came to Andrey Razin (at that time the administrator of the Mirage group), who pulled off an incredible combination for those times and moved Shatunov, Kuznetsov and several other orphanage boys to Moscow, where he organized a studio for gifted children "LM". In January 1989, the clip “White Roses” was shown for the first time on the Central Television in “Morning Post”, after which a real all-Union boom began - the songs of “Tender May” sounded everywhere, and millions of fans simply went crazy for the blue-eyed young prince with a charming dimple on his cheek . The group collected the largest concert venues throughout the country and set a record for the number of concerts per day (sometimes there were 5-6 per day).
Solo voyage and years of oblivion
However, despite the overwhelming success and popularity, in early 1992 the group broke up. 18-year-old Shatunov is leaving Andrei Razin and is trying to build a solo career. For a while, he was even supported by Alla Borisovna Pugacheva, who invited Yura to speak at her "Christmas Meetings" in December 1992. But, despite the first solo album “You Remember” released by the PolyGram Russia recording studio in 1994 and several clips filmed, it was not easy to stay afloat. Caught in a difficult life situation, Shatunov leaves to live and work in Germany, where he studies as a sound engineer and leaves the stage for several years.
“At the age of 25-30, I began to look for myself. Then I wanted a lot at once, but I had to understand what I really really needed. And not to look at others: but these young guys, they ride on good cars, With beautiful girls and so on. That is, at first you look at them and think: how cool, I want it too, and then you realize that it’s not cool at all, this one is not so beautiful beautiful life better in a different way. And this is the "other way" to find. At that time, I didn’t work with anyone, even as a system administrator. Worked a lot in the studio, but did not study own creativity and your career. And now I can say with absolute certainty that that step was truly right and true, because now I have everything and even more: my beloved wife, my beloved son and daughter, I have a place to live, I have a favorite job, I have everything . I am a happy man".
The return of the idol
In the early 2000s, Shatunov nevertheless returned to Russia to continue his solo career, and released several albums one after another: “Remember May”, “Leaves are falling”, “If you want, do not be afraid”, “Record my voice”, "I believe". In September 2009, the singer went to big tour around the cities of Russia in support feature film"Tender May". And a year later, Yura took part in the filming of the series "Happy Together", where he played himself. To date, Shatunov continues to record songs and remains one of the most sought-after artists in the reserves.
“I visit Russia much more often than at home, in Germany. But this does not in the least prevent me from communicating with my family, seeing children and educating them. There is Skype, there is the Internet, there is a phone, after all. And then, there is a plane: I sat down, two hours - and at home.
Found personal happiness in Germany
With my future wife- Svetlana, a lawyer, Shatunov met in Germany in December 2000: “They often ask: do you believe in love at first sight and is this even possible? Maybe. This is exactly how it happened to me. It was enough just to look at each other - that's all.
They met for a long time and decided to get married only in January 2007, six months after Svetlana gave birth to her son Dennis. Six years later, on March 13, 2013, their second child, daughter Estella, was born in Bad Homburg. As Yuri admits, there are very few close people in his life: “There are actually few people I trust. In fact, they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Firstly, this is Svetlana - my wife. Secondly, Arkady, my director, with whom I have been working together for more than 27 years. Well, and a couple of guys, friends, time-tested.
In September last year, Shatunov celebrated his 41st birthday, he continued to live and work in two for two countries, having Russian passport and residence permit in Germany. In Frankfurt am Main, Yuri has a house, wife and children, but in the summer they often come to rest with their whole family in Russia, in particular, in Sochi, where Shatunov has a large house, bought back in the days of Tender May.
Every era has its idols. In the dashing 90s, we simply adored pop music: we fell in love with the “sweet boy” Andrei Gubin, danced to the songs of Irina Saltykova, protested to the hits of the Gaza Strip. But then these stars were replaced by new performers. Where did the celebrities of the 90s disappear, read in this review.
Andrey Gubin
Andrey Gubin is a “sweet boy” from the 90s, a favorite of girls. Any of his songs immediately became a hit.
However, in 2004, a disease of the nervous system forced the singer to abandon his career. His last song was recorded in 2009. Now 41-year-old Andrei does not gather thousands of halls, does not give interviews, but continues to write songs.
Irina Saltykova
Not too outstanding vocals more than compensated Irina Saltykova for her bright external data. In the early 2000s, Irina recorded several more albums, but they no longer had the same popularity as her first work. In 2010, the singer opened an atelier with the pretentious name "The House of Beauty and Style of Irina Saltykova." Now she is 49 years old.
