The singer did what no one else could. hit the "daughter" of the main US chart with a song in Russian. In 2007, the track peaked at number 41 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks. "I Will" had a chance to hit the Billboard Hot 100, if not for the rule that songs not released in the United States fly past the "hot hundred" of the cradle of show business.
Valeria - Wild!
In 2009, very unexpectedly, the singer's single hit the Billboard Hot Dance Club. The chart shows the popularity of songs in American nightclubs.
The track debuted at #48 and it was a national event. Almost all Russian publications wrote about the stunning success of not the most popular singer in Russia. In order to make it clear what kind of musical Chomolungma Valeria conquered, the publications specified that Britney Spears' "American Dream" single then occupied the 45th line. Over time, the track managed to reach the 25th position and stay on the chart for more than 10 weeks.
silver
The group has several tracks at once, which flashed in various international charts. "Mama Lover" peaked at number 49 on the Japan Hot 100 (Japan's national chart). And Mi Mi Mi - up to the 88th line. The English-language version of "Mama Lyuba" also aired in Mexico, reaching the 19th place on the Mexico Airplay (radio chart). Residents of the Netherlands liked Mi Mi Mi more: in the Netherlands Digital Songs (download chart), the single peaked at number 8. But most of all, Serebro is loved in Italy. Four songs of the group appeared in the download chart: Mama Lover, Mi Mi Mi, Kiss and Gun.
Julia Kova
Singer Yuliya Kova quite successfully debuted on the international market. In 2008, her single Beep Beep peaked at number 27 on the Hot Dance Club Songs. And the song Sorry appeared on the Japan Hot 100, peaking at number 88. In Japan, the singer enjoyed such success that it was even planned to release a specialized version of the album "This is me." But due to disagreements with the record company, the release was cancelled.
Timati - Welcome to St. Tropez (feat. DJ Antoine)
The 2009 single reached number 1 on the Billboard Luxembourg Digital Songs, number 2 on the German chart (the video was in hot rotation on local MTV), number 7 in Austria and France, and number 9 on the Billboard Global Dance. Songs. 145 million views on YouTube!
"PPK" - Resurrection
The Russian electronic group first conquered the Internet, and then the national hit parade of Great Britain.
In 2001, the track "Resurrection" (Resurrection) hit the rotation of BBC Radio One. Perhaps due to this, the single soon reached number three on the UK Singles Charts. The track was based on a motif from the soundtrack of the Soviet film "Siberiada", written by Eduard Artemiev.
"Gorky Park" - Try to Find Me
And now let's remember about the artifact of ancient times that broke out from behind the Iron Curtain immediately after it rusted. The band's self-titled debut disc sold over 300,000 copies in the US. It was in 1989. In "hot" figures, this is a peak 80th line and two weeks in the overall standings on the Billboard 200 chart. Only one song managed to get into the Billboard Hot 100. Try To Find Me peaked at number 81. A relatively successful group was still in Norway and Denmark.
On the wave of interest in Russia at that time, many producers tried to find and promote someone, but it didn’t work out very well. One can only recall the group "Aquarium", whose longplay Radio Silence was on the 198th place Billboard in the same 1989.
Alsou - Before You Love Me
After a successful performance at Eurovision, the singer began to be promoted as the Russian Britney Spears. But something went wrong in the singer's PR team, and her single Before You Love Me was able to debut in the UK Singles Chart in 2001 only at number 27 and stay on the charts for only three weeks. Although it is worth recognizing that the track was no different from the endless pop chewing gum that then stormed the American and English charts.
Leonid Rudenko - Everybody
The DJ's career began after he, rejected by Russian record companies, began to send his recordings by e-mail to managers of Western labels. Soon he signed the first contract.
In 2009, the single "Everybody" entered the UK National Chart. Debuting in 24th place, he left the hundred in just three weeks. The single later peaked at number two on the Upfront Club Chart's Top 100 Tracks of the Year list.
t.A.T.u.
Three singles hit the main UK hit parade: Not Gonna Get Us, All About Us and All the Things She Said, thanks to which she became the first Russian group to reach the top of this chart. The song was in the lead for four weeks.
The group also achieved success in the United States. The debut English-language album, for example, peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200.
But most of all t.A.T.u. loved in Japan. Here the record 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane sold 1.8 million copies. At that time, these were record sales among foreign artists. By the way, after the breakup of the group, one of the ex-members again submitted to Billboard. The remix of Lena Katina's single Never Forget was able to reach the top of the magazine's dance chart.
Nobody in the world knows Soviet and Russian pop musicians. Especially in the West. Nevertheless, musicians from Russia at different times fell into the Western charts.
All attempts to promote and impose our popular music on the Western public failed. Russian pop music is very secondary and backward, both technologically and stylistically.
But it has already become a good tradition to hang noodles to the Russian public about the successes of certain performers in the West. It comes down to the ridiculous.
Kirkorov traveled to Monte Carlo for The World Music Awards - a show of the best-selling artists in their countries, while finding a person in Russia who has Kirkorov's album is quite difficult. Pugachev, as you know, in 1997 took only 15 place out of 25 at the useless Eurovision.
Sergey Lazarev sings in English for some reason, the human brain is generally unable to master it. Iosif Prigozhin, whose obsession was to push Valeria to the West, once stated in a paid article in a British newspaper that his wife had sold 100 million albums in Russia.
Timati's rapper had the biggest success when the Swiss DJ Antoine made a remix for Timati's song Welcome to St. Tropez. The song went around the top of the charts in the world, except for the UK and the US. In Switzerland, the song took sixth place at the end of the year. This is the peak for our variety performers lately.
Which of our musicians really achieved high places in the Western (and this, in the musical sense, primarily the USA and Great Britain) charts and is generally more or less known in the West.
1. Composer Aram Khachaturian - 1972
One of the recordings of the music of his ballet "Spartacus" called Spartacus, which Khachaturian made together with the London Symphony Orchestra, hit the British album chart in 1972, reached the 16th position and lasted 15 weeks in it.
By the way, his music is so popular in the world that it was even used in such famous films as Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, James Cameron's Aliens and Tinto Brass's Caligula.
2. Boris Grebenshchikov - 1989
His album Radio Silence, released in England and the US, reached #198 on the Billboard200, despite being recorded with the then super-popular Eurythmics. In the video - BG's performance on the popular TV show David Letterman.
3. Gorky Park-1990
The success of Gorky Park in the US cannot be overstated. They did not conquer America. One need only look at their achievements in the charts. In the Billboard Hot 100, they were noted only by the single Try To Find Me (81st place and 6 weeks on the chart), and on the Billboard 200 - the album Gorky Park (80th place and 21 weeks on the chart).
But Gorky Park sold well in general - 300 thousand copies sold in America alone - this is a very good result. The group achieved much more success in Scandinavia. Gorky Park in Norway took 9th place, and the single Bang - 5th. In Denmark, the album Moscow Calling even went platinum.
4. Alsu-2000
With the song Before You Love Me "under Britney Spears" she got to 27th place for only a week, during the period when they tried to promote it in Europe after 2nd place at Eurovision.
5. PPK-2001
The Rostov trance project PPK with the release of a separate single ResuRection (Eduard Artemiev's melody from the film "Siberiada" by Andrei Konchalovsky with the voice of Yuri Gagarin) debuted in the UK immediately in third place!
The song became the first track from Russia to get into the hot rotation of the BBC Radio One radio station. Then ResuRection was released in other countries, where it also charted successfully - 5th in the Netherlands, 9th in Belgium, and 15th in France and 36th in Australia.
6. Tattoo-2003
In 2002, the English version of their album "200 in the opposite direction" was released and "Tatu" became generally the most popular Russian group in the world. The girls did not become stars of the first magnitude, and their success was not so long, but they sold about 10 million of their records abroad. This is an unattainable result for Russian performers.
The English-language album is now gold in four countries and platinum in Europe as a whole, the song "All the Things She Said" occupied the first line of the British chart for several weeks, and the cover of The Smiths in 2009 sounded in the TV series "Gossip Girl".
7. Leonid Agutin - 2007
The author of The Barefoot Boy and husband of Anzhelika Varum graduated from the Moscow Jazz School and from his youth was fond of not only pop music, but also a variety of acoustic guitar music - from jazz to flamenco. In the early 2000s, Agutin began to play concerts, and then he recorded the album "Cosmopolitan Life" together with Al di Meola, an American virtuoso of the genre. In Germany, the album had more than good sales.
8. Eduard Khil - 2009
A famous, sad and beautiful story, as a result of which the great pop singer is known in the world as "Mr. Trololo". On November 26, 2009, a RealPapaPit user uploaded the vocalization "I'm very happy because I'm finally returning home" to YouTube - today this video has 19 million 700 thousand views.
They say that the singer was even offered an international tour - but he refused. Both Gawker and The New York Times wrote about Khil's death.
9. Pussy Riot-2012
This is the only group here that has not been on the Western charts, but it is impossible not to mention it. Musically, it's a comical story. The group, not a single song of which no one has really heard anywhere, has become the most famous musical group from Russia in recent times. Suffice it to say that in the West the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is known as the Pussy Riot Church.
Shortly after the arrest of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich, musicians around the world began to support them, ranging from Madonna and Paul McCartney to Mike Patton and The Knife and Die Antwoord.
10. Anna Netrebko - 2007-present
The opera singer was able to achieve real world fame, including the United States. She enjoys particular success in Austria, where she received citizenship. Also lives in New York. Her recordings are constantly on the classical music charts, but in some countries they also get into the general music charts. Especially in Austria and Germany. So 15 Netrebko albums got into the Austrian chart .
Bonus: The World's Most Famous Russian Music Video
Bloody viral hit "Bad Motherfucker" by the Russian band Biting Elbows, filmed in the first person and therefore more like an action video game than a music video. The clip was publicly noted by Samuel L. Jackson and Darren Aronofsky. 24.6 million views on Youtube.
, .Modern domestic show business is a special world, in some way separated from the rest of civilization, in which slightly different people live, with their own worries, deeds and quirks. Russian performers are, in most cases, persons, albeit without a world name, but quite famous in the vastness of their land and within their native state, and perhaps within the borders of the near abroad too. This article will tell you about popular and in-demand Russian performers over the past decade.
First echelon
So, let's start, then Russian performers will be described. The list is opened by the old-timers of the national stage. Leonid Agutin, Nikolai Baskov, Oleg Gazmanov, Valery Leontiev, Alexander Rosenbaum, singer Slava, Lolita, the Pair of Normals, Mumiy Troll groups were quite popular at the beginning of the 2000s and were famous for their armies of loyal fans, but with the onset of the second decade of the century they fame has faded a bit. Today, these artists can be seen only at the most traditional concerts and musical evenings. What can not be said about Philip Kirkorov, Valeria Meladze, singers Natalie and Anita Tsoi, the groups "Beasts", "Splin". These artists are in demand and loved by the audience even today. Their concerts still attract millions of fans. And all this despite the fact that they also have the right to call themselves "old-timers of the stage."
The youth
Russian performers are also representatives of a new generation. Their popularity today is at its peak, their CDs are sold faster than others, their tours are scheduled for five to seven years in advance. Young Russian pop artists are quite numerous. Their list includes several hundred names and pseudonyms, the most famous are Dima Bilan, Sergey Lazarev, rapper Timati, his protégés are Yegor Creed, Andrey Grizzly, Alexei Vorobyov, Dan Balan, Dominik Joker, Irakli, Max Korzh, Denis Maidanov, Tamerlane, Vyacheslav Basyul, Ani Lorak, Ivan Dorn, Nyusha, Pelageya, Yulia Savicheva, Anna Sedakova, Vera Brezhneva, Tati, Elena Temnikova, Polina Gagarina, Elvira T, Maxim, Loya, Svetlana Loboda, Stas Kostyushkin, Noise MC, Yuliana Karaulova, "Pizza ", "Silver", M-Band, "23:45", "Banderos", "02.30", Quest Pistols, "Degrees", quartet "Heroes", "China", trio "VIA GRA" and many others.
Voice
Russian performers today are also from many popular television shows. The project with the highest ratings on domestic television is the Voice show. This platform has released wonderful singers such as Gela Guraliya, Elina Chaga, Nargiz Zakirova and many others.
Russian show business is replenishing and Viktoria Petrik can be called a bright representative of this separate group of domestic stage. The girl is the winner of the world famous festival "Children's New Wave". This, of course, is a worthy replacement for the old-timers of Russian show business. Now you know which Russian performers are most in demand at the moment.
1 place. Vera Brezhneva
The 32-year-old singer and actress knows how to masterfully ... count. She grew up in a family where every penny was taken care of, and from an early age she went to earn money - she traded tomato paste and pasta in the market. “When familiar guys passed by, of course, it was embarrassing,” Vera recalled. But I tried to ignore the sidelong glances and grins. I knew that I needed to help mom and dad. It was then that for the rest of her life she got the hang of quickly and clearly counting, after school she went to study as an accountant. She did not graduate from the university, but knowledge of accounting still helps. Vera associates a lot with numbers, remembers almost all the dates of significant events in her life, phone numbers, cars, etc. The singer helps the sisters keep financial records in their clothing store The Box in Kyiv. And she herself controls the budget of her own charitable foundation "Ray of Faith".
2nd place. Julia Lipnitskaya
After the Olympics, many fans filled up 16-year-old Yulia Lipnitskaya with poetry. “Whole collections were devoted to her, and she, of course, is very touched,” Daniela’s mother, the champion, shared by phone with StarHit. We read everything with gratitude. Previously, Julia was not fond of poetry, but now she has become involved. I discovered, for example, the "rebellious" poems of Daria Sklyarova ... "
Everyday training almost does not leave the athlete free time. She has no time to hang out with her friends or ride horses, and Yulia loves horseback riding. But she still manages to read. As the mother says, the daughter recently discovered Bulgakov's "Master and Margarita" - she liked it!
3rd place. Olga Buzova
Somehow, for the sake of interest, Olga “tried on” new images - Marilyn Monroe, Christina Aguilera. The experience turned out to be successful, but she admitted on social networks: “I like being myself more.” With every act, the 28-year-old TV presenter breaks stereotypes about blondes. It is no coincidence that she topped the rating of show business stars for the highest IQ on one of the Internet portals. She has no problem with ideas on how to make money: she came up with the C&C by Olga Buzova clothing brand, opened a jewelry store. From a participant in "House-2", as she dreamed, she grew into a leader. And she became the editor-in-chief of the magazine.

4th place. Ksenia Borodina
Looking at 31-year-old Ksenia Borodina, it’s hard to believe that some five years ago, after the birth of her daughter Marusya, a young mother and aspiring TV presenter was terribly complex about being overweight. I did not trust anyone to correct the situation - I figured it out myself. As a result, the book “Lose Weight with Ksenia Borodina” appeared, where she frankly admitted her own mistakes. Today Ksenia is preparing another book on how to become beautiful. “I decided to talk about ways to quickly put myself in order,” Ksenia shares with StarHit. “There is also a set of sports exercises that I developed myself.” Since the TV presenter checked every recommendation on herself, it's worth a try.
5th place. Alsou
In 2006, after the birth of her first daughter Safina, the singer became interested in painting. “I’m good at portraits,” 31-year-old Alsu admits to StarHit. - It is possible to catch something important in a person - a look, eyes. Even at school, I wrote an excellent exam paper about portraits in various techniques - from ink to oil. Today there are already so many works that she dreams of her own exhibition, where there will be both a self-portrait and a portrait of her father. In the spring of 2012, the star put up for auction a portrait of Vladimir Vysotsky, it was bought for $16,000. Alsou donated all the proceeds to help hospitals and boarding schools.
6th place. Ani Lorak
When her husband opens another restaurant in Kyiv, 35-year-old Ani Lorak often participates in interior design and menu selection. “The restaurant business needs as much creativity as the stage. There are no trifles, ”the singer is sure. Neither tours nor rehearsals prevent the star from discussing ideas with her husband. Not so long ago, Murat opened his fourth restaurant in the city center - Famous karaoke. From the very first day, many stars fell in love with it - good friends of Anya. And when the idea occurred to her to decorate one wall with chic black-and-white portraits of the famous guests of the restaurant, no one objected, on the contrary, they posed with pleasure.
7th place. Albina Dzhanabaeva
“Albina, are you really going to work with us?” - senior students of one of the capital's schools asked the soloist of VIA Gra. But the singer simply had an internship with them as a student of the psychology department of the Moscow City Psychological and Pedagogical University. Vela month
classes in the lower grades, tested the older ones ... Attendance was one hundred percent! In February 2014, 34-year-old Dzhanabaeva received her diploma. She decided to become a psychologist spontaneously. In recent years, she was offered the role of heroes with complex characters in cinema and theater. And she managed to cope with them, because now the psychology of people has ceased to be a mystery to her.
8th place. Tatiana Navka
Traveling to Eastern countries inspired the 39-year-old figure skater to create perfume. She began to buy essential oils, combine them, achieving unique shades. The feature of her fragrances is the oil of the udu tree: the strongest aphrodisiac, which must be handled delicately so as not to overdo it. Several options have already been successful, it's time to open a perfume shop. This is the whole of Tatyana: no matter what she does, she will not back down until
will not become a champion, as in figure skating. And recently, together with designer Anastasia Hollandtseva and friend Lyudmila Mitvol, she released a collection of Sweet Stuff jewelry made of silver and semi-precious stones. The works resemble multi-colored lollipops, are made in Hong Kong, and cost from 8,000 rubles in Moscow stores.
9th place. Ekaterina Klimova
There are few days off in the schedule of 36-year-old Ekaterina Klimova. Now the actress is filming in two projects at once - "Mistresses" and "Plague". She recently divorced her husband, actor Igor Petrenko. Three children stayed with her. Thank you, mom and nannies help. But Katya, as soon as the shooting is completed, flies home - and stops rushing beyond the threshold. Together with 12-year-old Liza, 7-year-old Matvey and 5-year-old Korney, he watches a movie, discussing the actions of the heroes, and asks his sons how they studied English and karate. “We have complete harmony at home,” the actress assures.
10th place. Ksenia Sobchak
Entering the "TOP Beauties of Moscow-2013", Ksenia was amazed: "What a blatant lie!" The 32-year-old TV presenter prefers to be quoted as a "stylish and modern personality" - as she was recently called in the New York Times, assessing the image of Xenia at Fashion Week in Paris. Sobchak posts on social networks both fashionable "bows" and examples of the terrible bad taste of some ladies. And he personally conducts fashion master classes, where he gives practical advice.
11th place. Christina Orbakaite
The singer has been collecting full houses all over Russia for many years, but with her stellar status, she is very easy to communicate and can find a common language with anyone. Somehow, 43-year-old Christina, along with the musicians, hit the road by bus. They were in a hurry to soundcheck, exceeded the speed limit - and were stopped by the traffic police. The director of the singer began to persuade the inspectors: "Please let go, we are taking Christina Orbakaite." They answered: “Come on, lie, we just saw her on TV!” And then Christina appeared from the depths of the cabin: “Hello, what happened?” The guards froze in admiration. Then they asked for autographs, took a photo with the singer as a keepsake and wished her a happy journey.
12th place. Adeline Sotnikova
After winning the Olympics, figure skater Adelina Sotnikova is called the "Legend at 17". After all, at this age she became the first Olympic champion in the history of Russia in women's single skating. Adelina has been considered a child prodigy since childhood. At the age of 13, she obtained the most complex elements that not every adult can do. Sotnikova devotes her free time to cinema. Recently, on the advice of my mother Olga Dmitrievna and coach Elena Buyanova, I watched the films "Champions" and "Legend No. 17". “It seems to me that coaches should feel students exactly the way Anatoly Tarasov - Valeria Kharlamova,” Adelina admired after “Legends ...”. - And as Elena Germanovna - me. Before the Olympics, Tatyana Anatolyevna Tarasova also advised me. Now I understand who she is - in her father!
13th place. Anna Sedokova
The singer is imitated by thousands of fans. To teach them how to dress in the same style, the 31-year-old artist launched her own casual fashion line, La story, last year. Especially popular is a sweatshirt with a big acid-colored heart and the inscription "Love -
this is all. Everything is love." Colleagues and friends support Anna: for example, Vera Brezhneva took part in the new photo shoot. Having got a taste, Sedokova recently shared on social networks: “I started to develop a children's clothing line, which will be an absolute mini-copy of my adult collection.”
14th place. Polina Gagarina
Driving around Moscow in a snow-white Range Rover Evoque, Polina, a driver with 10 years of experience, recalls with nostalgia the first car she drove at 18, a tiny Volkswagen Lupo: “I always liked the way I look in it.” After 5 years, she gave herself a Nissan Qashqai for her 23rd birthday - and with pleasure showed off a spacious trunk, which contained a gym bag, dry cleaning, spare shoes, her son's child seat, a soft horseshoe airplane pillow, a bath towel, a volume of Omar's poems Khayyama... Not a car, but a second home.
15th place. Christine Asmus
The 26-year-old actress easily got used to the role of a married lady, hostess and mother: on January 5, they had a daughter, Anastasia, with Garik Kharlamov. It turned out that Christina cooks with pleasure. Garik used to eat simply: for breakfast - fried eggs and cereal with milk, and at any time of the day - fried potatoes. But the wife tirelessly seeks out something interesting. Often appears on online culinary forums, posting photos of custard pancakes or mouth-watering samsa that she cooks at home. She is not averse to watching football on TV - with her husband and even without him.
16th place. Sasha Savelyeva
Two years ago, the singer took up skiing. In January 2012, her husband, Kirill Safonov, suddenly offered to spend a vacation at a resort in Salzburg.
Sasha used to trust her husband: “I am the kind of person who needs to reach out for someone, learn something new ...” So he persuaded her to try. In Austria, dressed in a ski suit and trying on boots with bindings, Sasha rolled down the most gentle hill - and was delighted: “Really cool!” It turned out that this sport burns extra calories much better than fitness.
17th place. Svetlana Hodchenkova
Svetlana is the only Russian actress who managed to break into Hollywood and declare herself loudly. It all started in 2011 with the thriller Spy Get Out! with Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy. Khodchenkova had an episode, but participation in such a high-profile project made her one of the most
the highest paid actresses in the country with a fee of $4,000 per shooting day. By 2013, the figure had grown to $5,000 before the actress starred
in the fantasy action movie "Wolverine: Immortal" with Hugh Jackman and played one of the main roles - a female viper.
18th place. Natalie
The performer of the hits “The wind blew from the sea” and “Oh my God, what a man” admits: “I don’t work out in the gym, I’m sad in the company of irons.” She
I have long understood that cleaning the apartment helps a woman to keep in shape much better than exercise equipment. Especially if you wash the floor, crawling with a rag in all corners. Or you rub the windows, trying to reach the window - every muscle works. “Four years ago, when I was waiting for the birth of my second son, a neighbor caught me washing the floors in the entrance and was dumbfounded: “Natasha, you are an artist, and even in demolition, what are you doing!” – shared the 40-year-old singer with “StarHit”. - And I had such a strange toxicosis, in which I liked the smell of wet cement! Nothing is
I could help myself."
19th place. Anna Snatkina
Dancing in the life of Snatkina appeared in 2006 - when the actress was invited to the television show "Dancing with the Stars", and she, together with Evgeny Grigorov, took first place. During the project, the participants - stars and professional dancers - had to train a lot. Sometimes the staging of the number lasted until night. Despite this, “Dancing” inspired her so much that the artist still does not give up classes and goes to the gym at every opportunity. “After winning the show, in addition to slow dancing, I have a weakness for Latin American dances,” the 31-year-old actress tells StarHit. Anna and now spends every evening on her favorite pastime from an hour to two. Such a pastime helps her not only stay in shape and tone, but also maintain a good mood.
20th place. Elena Podkaminskaya
The 35-year-old star of the series "Kitchen" loves experiments. Not only will she not refuse, for example, a nude photo shoot, but she herself will come up with a lot
interesting details. Once, having agreed to shoot for MAXIM magazine, Podkaminskaya offered to arrange it in the scenery of the bathroom and bedroom. “I wanted everything to look natural, as if the heroine was caught where you can really walk without clothes,” Elena explained to StarHit. By the way, the first to whom she showed the photos were the parents of the actress - the strictest judges. They liked it.
21st place. Elizaveta Boyarskaya
The actress was very worried when she was asked to arrange "Art Surf" - the first creative evening in her life with reading poetry, which 28-year-old Liza knows a great many. And before going to the resort area of St. Petersburg Komarovo, Liza rehearsed, reciting poetry several times to her only spectator at that time - her two-month-old son Andrei. Pushkin, Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva ... The loudest applause during her concert sounded after Apollon Grigoriev's poem “I love you ... What to do is to blame!”
22nd place. Oksana Fedorova
36-year-old Oksana has repeatedly donated money for the maintenance of churches, she often visits the Moscow church of Elijah the Prophet in Obydenky Lane. “Here I am distracted from the hustle and bustle and feel peace,” she says to StarHit. – In case of any difficulties, I approach the beloved miraculous icon of the Mother of God “Unexpected Joy”, I pray for the health of children and loved ones.” Three years ago, the recognition of the winner of the Miss Universe contest that she “begged for a child for herself” and went to the Diveevsky Monastery spread all over the country. And, as Oksana now likes to say, "according to faith, it will be given." In the spring of 2012, the son Fedor was born, and in the summer of 2013, the daughter Liza. “Only when I became a mother, I gained self-confidence,” Oksana admits.
23rd place. Ekaterina Guseva
Enthralled by the musical Nord-Ost, the polar explorers invited Ekaterina, the performer of one of the main roles, to visit the North Pole. 2002, at the pole - 43 ° C, from the cold and wind did not save even the eiderdown overalls. But, having hoisted a flag with the autographs of the troupe actors near the station, Katya sang a song from the performance: “Captains of our own destiny, it’s the trumpet signal that calls us ...” “How not to sing if the soul asks!” – then shared the 38-year-old actress. In Moscow, she had to treat her throat. But for her heroic performance at the Pole, Guseva was entered into the Russian Book of Records.
24th place. Lera Kudryavtseva
Recently, 43-year-old Lera Kudryavtseva voiced the Warface project, an online game that is gaining popularity. Gives commands to fighters, explaining to them the intricacies of tasks. And this is not her first experience - in 2007 she voiced the heroine of the cartoon "Honey Conspiracy", in 2010 she "voiced" the she-wolf from the cartoon "Alpha and Omega: The Fanged Brotherhood", and in 2012 - the heroine of "Cinderella: Full speed ahead!"... "Each dubbing is a game of intonations, the ability to express vivid emotions, a very exciting process!" – admits “StarHit” Lera.
25th place. Angelica Agurbash
The singer only looks fragile and defenseless, but in fact she has been seriously boxing for 10 years! Interest in this sport appeared soon after the birth of the third child - the son of Anastas. Angelica then gained extra pounds, and boxing allowed her to quickly lose them and pump up her arms and abs. The 44-year-old singer still finds time to “thresh a pear”. It keeps in shape and relieves stress. “I definitely don’t need a bodyguard,” the singer shared with StarHit. “I can take care of myself!”
This time I made Top 25 the most beautiful Russian singers, which presents the singers of the national stage, as well as one opera singer. When compiling this rating, I took into account external data, photogenicity, not paying attention to the awards and merits of girls in the professional field.
