The "Voice. Children" project brings together a huge number of gifted children from all over Russia to participate in a creative competition. The jury evaluates the vocal data of the participants and makes a decision to continue their journey in the project. One of the brightest girls who came to the competition was Yaroslava Degtyareva (b.14.08.2008). She was especially remembered by the audience and rivals.
A talented girl with a difficult fate
Yaroslav Degtyareva, whose biography is still too short due to her age, lived a full life as a good girl: she was unprofessional in the Inspiration vocal studio, went to school and helped her mother around the house. Everything would be fine if not for one incident that completely turned the life of a child. When little Yaroslav was five years old, she got into a terrible accident with her parents. But she was able to return to life and decided to prove herself in a creative vocal competition on Channel One. Mom Olesya and seven-year-old Yaroslav Degtyareva came to the project. That something was wrong with the girl's eye, many noticed immediately. A small defect is visible on the face, but it cannot be called ugly. It only attracts unnecessary attention at first. The family came from the city of Gukovo, in the Rostov region. They moved there to Yaroslava's grandmother Nadezhda Ivanovna after that terrible accident.
3 year old incident
The girl's family tries not to remember the past, like Yaroslav Degtyareva herself. That a misfortune happened to the eye, only scars remind. Three years ago, Yasya and her parents were driving a car, and their car was blown off a cliff. The glasses shattered and shattered into tiny pieces, injuring the face and body of the girl. Fortunately, her mother Olesya did not suffer so much and could help her daughter in the first minutes. That there would be problems with Yaroslava Degtyareva's eye, it became clear immediately, based on the nature of the injuries received. The head suffered most of all, an open craniocerebral injury formed from the blows. Numerous wounds and scratches, closed fractures and ruptures of internal organs were also found on the child's body. The whole night the best doctors fought for the life of a little star, trying to do everything possible. They managed to literally put it back together.
Rehabilitation in the hospital
For about a month, the girl was unable to get out of her hospital bed. They were together all the time: mother and Yaroslav Degtyarev. The accident left them alone with each other (dad does not live in the family). Gradually, the girl began to raise her head, and then get up and move around on crutches. At first it was very difficult for her. Mom was worried about the moral state of her daughter, because not every adult can survive such a shock. During her stay in the hospital, the girl continued to develop: she studied with textbooks, drew a lot and read books. Yaroslava loved to arrange mini-performances with song accompaniment, since there were always many spectators in the hospital. It is difficult to set a person in a positive mood when there are so many sick children around, but Yasi's mother always told her about her love and about the great opportunities that await the little star after recovery and discharge.
new year wish
The approaching New Year found a small family in the hospital walls. “Let the legs start walking again,” Yaroslav Degtyarev asked the Christmas tree for the fulfillment of her cherished desire. That with an eye of a problem, it did not excite yet. Much more priority was the issue of restoring the function of the legs.
With a song for life
When the girl got to her feet, she began to walk around the wards and sing for the children, who were still lying and could not get up. She cheered them up as best she could, charging them with positivity. Everyone knew that cheerfulness and songs in the department - this is the whole of Yaroslav Degtyarev. It’s scary to describe what complex procedures were done to the eye in the hospital, but the girl withstood all the tests. Yasya experienced true pleasure, seeing how children joyfully perceive her songs. She felt the need to do something to help them. When her grandmother cried, Yaroslava comforted her and said that everything would be fine and that it was not worth crying. The girl still has a long period of recovery and plastic surgery.
Casting in the project "Voice. Children"
According to her mother, Yaroslava loved to sing since childhood. Already at the age of three, she sang her favorite songs from the Bremen Town Musicians to her mother. At the age of four, she could sing a solo soundtrack from the movie "Titanic". Mom and daughter practiced vocals every day, sang and rehearsed numbers, which gave great pleasure to both. For blind auditions in the project "Voice. Children" Yaroslav prepared several songs, as for a long time she could not decide which composition would be better to perform. Her heartfelt performance of "Cuckoo" touched the hearts of the jury members. The girl said that she heard this song performed by Polina Gagarina in the film "Battle for Sevastopol". I thought that I should sing this song with my soul. Despite her young age, Yaroslav speaks like an adult. She chooses for performance those songs that she is able to sing powerfully, from the heart, conveying all emotions to the viewer. You can’t pursue some goal and count on something, it’s important to just surrender to the music and give it to the listener.
Project Mentors
In the process of performing the song at blind auditions, two mentors turned to Yaroslav Degtyareva: Dima Bilan and Pelageya. The girl chose Dima and became a member of his team. She said that she chose Bilan because of the characteristic and external resemblance to the boy from the vocal studio, where she goes to sing.
Millions of views on YouTube
The little blonde in a white shirt and denim overalls made an incredible sensation. The video with the performance gained several million views during the broadcast of the broadcasts. After her performance, appearance does not play any role. In the project "Voice. Children" Yaroslav Degtyarev reached the final, that with the eye the photo is distorted and looks unusual, no one notices.
Mascot
The real fighter is Yaroslav Degtyarev. That the eye is not all right, she does not remember. An active life allows her to think only about the good. On the project, before going on stage, young participants are offered to choose a small souvenir as a talisman. Yaroslava had the opportunity to get a toy bracelet on her hand, but still, she considers her beloved mother, who is always there, her main and important talisman. He also wears a bracelet and a cross consecrated in the church.
Hobbies and dreams
Like any little girl, Yaroslava loves to play with toys and often plays TV shows. One of my favorites is "Evening Urgant", especially the section "View from below". All toys and pets are used, each has its own role. Yasya also loves to walk the dog and train it. Another love of the girl is horses. Very often they go to the park with their mother to go horseback riding. He dreams of finally recovering and for all the scars to heal.
A seven-year-old girl from Gukovo, who sang in the show “Voice. Children - 3 "" Cuckoo" by Viktor Tsoi, conquered Internet users.
The first glory of Yaroslav
The video of Yaroslava's performance at the blind auditions was watched over 7 million times online - this is a real record! Yasya herself, as her relatives call the girl, is glad for such attention, as well as the growing number of subscribers on Instagram - the schoolgirl already has more than 8 thousand of them.
The little star has been singing since childhood, mother Alesya Bumagina assures:
Yasya had not yet begun to speak, but was already singing something. My daughter has natural talent. For more than a year she has been performing on stage: at various city and school events. We have already visited two talent competitions in Sochi. Yase is surprised: he is not afraid to sing on stage! She performed the song "Cuckoo" all over the country. She chose it herself. I heard in the film "Battle for Sevastopol" performed by the singer Polina Gagarina and wanted to sing it. In her free time, Yaroslava makes videos - for example, with dolls. He loves animals very much, dreams of a real horse.
little fighter
Despite her young age, Yaroslav Degtyareva managed to survive the tragedy in her life: two years ago, she had a serious accident with her mother. The whole night the doctors fought for the life of the crumbs, after which the girl learned to walk again.
Two years ago, Yasya and I were driving along the highway from Rostov and got into a terrible accident, - Yaroslava's mother adds. - Due to the fault of the driver, they flew into a ditch. My daughter had an open craniocerebral injury, a hip fracture, many injuries to internal organs, her face was injured. The hospital near the accident site did not have the necessary doctors. My brother arrived, agreed, and Yasechka was taken to Rostov. Heads of departments gathered there: a neurosurgeon, an ophthalmologist, an orthopedist… Thanks to them and God. I spent a month with my daughter in the hospital ward. At first she just lay down. Then she began to raise her head, sit down, then we learned to walk again. At first they moved on crutches. I was worried about how my daughter would take all this, I did not know what to do next. But Yasya did well, did not lose heart. While we were in the hospital, I taught her to read, we drew a lot. She constantly said that she was still the best for me, the most beautiful. In addition, the daughter saw heavy children. I sympathized with them, supported them, sang for them. Now we are constantly under the supervision of doctors. We regularly examine the eyes, the head (there is no escape from the consequences of the accident), we keep our finger on the pulse all the time. But there are no contraindications to singing, and she likes it. So everything is slowly getting better, the worst is over.
In the third season of the children's version of the show "Voice" Yaroslav Degtyareva performed the very first. And how she performed! To the crumb, diligently deducing the lines of Tsoi “My sun, look at me!”, Two judges turned at once - Dima Bilan and Pelageya. Both mentors offered the young participant a place in their team, but the girl snapped: “Pelageya, of course, you are very beautiful, but I choose Bilan!”
I don’t like children’s, cheerful songs, ”Yaroslava admitted. - Therefore, for blind auditions, I chose "Cuckoo" - a combative, powerful composition. I am glad that I got into the team of Dima Bilan. He is artistic, not sad, and his hits are wonderful. When I was little, I fell asleep to his songs, like to lullabies.
Popular recognition
Fans give Yasa her portraits
In less than a week, the video with the performance of Yaroslava Degtyareva was watched more than one and a half million times. Popularity has swirled Yasya with a frantic whirlwind - the girl simply does not have time to read hundreds of messages on social networks. Fans flood the baby with compliments and questions, to which the young singer promises to shoot video responses. The girl's mother Alesya assures that every day she fights against her daughter's fake pages on social networks. It turns out that dishonest people communicate on behalf of Yaroslav with fans, which makes her daughter very upset.
A horse named Bilan
In his native school in Gukovo, the young star is also welcome: between filming, Yasya makes up for lost time and performs at local concerts. Everyone asks to be photographed, but the girl is not arrogant. She is glad that everyone praises her, but she does not consider herself a star.
But the most important gift to Yaroslav was presented by her admirer from Krasnoyarsk. A declaration of love for horses on Channel One touched one of the fans of the show so much that he decided to give her a real horse.
After the broadcasts with the participation of Yasya, a certain Ruslan from Krasnoyarsk contacted me and said that he really wants to give his daughter such a gift, - said Yaroslava's mother Alesya. - His acquaintance keeps horses, and one of them will soon become Yasina. Now Ruslan is solving organizational issues: when and where to deliver the gift.
It was a shock for the girl and mother - they even decided that it was a toy horse. But it turned out to be true. Yasya is very happy, she decided that if there is a stallion, she will call him Buran. Or Bilan - think.
My daughter's love for horses began in early childhood, recalls Alesya. - From the age of three, she constantly rode horseback in the Skazka park in Rostov. It happened that she even rode a horse to the park, if we met them along the way. We even spent one of Yasha's past birthdays in the Botanical Garden, riding horses.
Thinking out loud
In the future, little star Yaroslava Degtyareva wants to become an artist, singer and music teacher.
At school, children who cannot sing ask me to help, - Yasya assures. - Worked out with one girl a little, explained how it is necessary, and she began to get better. In my free time, I like to shoot interesting videos or make cakes in a toy bakery. I also play with a cat or train a dog.
As Pelageya later admits, from the singing of little Yaroslav, she “even got goosebumps.” Now the "Queen of Goosebumps" is in great demand in the capital: recordings in the highest-rated television programs, participation in prestigious concerts, work as a presenter at Kid's FM radio station. And yet, Yaroslava and her mother Olesya found time to chat with readers of AiF on Don.
February 20, 2016 on the stage of the show “Voice. Children ”, a tiny girl fluttered out and sang Viktor Tsoi’s song“ Cuckoo ”in a not childishly strong voice. With her performance, she shocked everyone: both the jury members and the multi-million television audience. The video of seven-year-old Yasi (as her relatives affectionately call her) instantly broke all records on the Internet. The whole country recognized the little singer from Gukovo... Behind the scenes of spotlights and stunning success, the past remained: the squeal of brakes, a hospital bed and a surgeon's scalpel...
house of pain
In October 2013, five-year-old Yasya, along with her parents, had a terrible accident on a highway near the village of Rodionovka. The girl's father lost control of the car, and the car fell into a five-meter ditch. The culprit of the accident immediately lost consciousness. And mother Yasi, barely getting out of the smoking car, rushed to save her daughter. There was no living place on the baby. Shards of glass hit his eyes, cut his face, his head and legs were badly damaged. At the cost of superhuman efforts, forgetting about her own pain, Olesya pulled her daughter out of the ditch and rushed to stop the ride. The minutes seemed like an eternity. The child's life hung in the balance. But the drivers rushing along the highway were in no hurry to slow down. Then, in desperation, at the risk of falling under the wheels, Olesya rushed across the car ...
Doctors at the Rodionovskaya hospital diagnosed the child with craniocerebral injuries, severe damage to the eyes and eyelids, and open fractures of the legs. The treatment required high-tech medical equipment, and Yasya was urgently transported to Rostov, to the children's regional hospital. Olesya, without hesitation, followed her daughter. Own injuries, loss of vision receded into the background. The main thing for the mother was to save her daughter.

Tiny Yasya was collected literally piece by piece. The first operation lasted seven hours. Doctors re-sculpted the girl's eyes, face, head. Metal knitting needles were inserted into thin children's legs.
“Take me out of this house of pain,” Yasya asked her mother, shedding tears.
The first operation was followed by the second, and then the third. For many months the girl was bedridden.
Mom and daughter try not to remember those terrible days. Together they struggled with the misfortune that had befallen them. The culprit of the accident - the father - seemed to have forgotten about their existence and did not appear in the hospital. To help, as often happens in life, strangers came - employees and parents of the kindergarten, which Yasya attended before the accident.
Voice
The vocal gift of the child was noticed in the hospital. As soon as the pain receded, the girl sang for doctors, little patients, and their parents. It was then that the idea arose to try my hand at The Voice. Within the walls of the hospital room, the dream seemed distant and illusory. But Olesya firmly believed that the black streak could not be eternal and Yaroslav would definitely be happy.
After being discharged from the hospital, Yasya and her mother returned to Gukovo - to their beloved grandmother and cat Max. For a long time, grandma did not know about the accident: her daughter did not want to injure her. Yes, and little Yaroslav was waiting for the scars to come off her face. The girl wanted to return home healthy and beautiful.
Everything that happened next is like a fairy tale. The road to success was fast-paced. By a happy coincidence, at the school where Yasya entered, there was a vocal circle. The girl was immediately noticed and invited to the studio as a soloist. Then there were victories in the regional and all-Russian vocal competitions. Inspired by her daughter's success, her mother sent a recording of her songs to the Voice show.
“I found out that Yasya was invited to live auditions in Moscow on my birthday. So there was a double holiday in the family, ”Yaroslava’s mother recalls today.
At the "blind" auditions, one of the youngest participants in the competition had to perform first. Yaroslava was terribly worried and mixed up the tone in the first verse. But the jury liked the little incident. The song "Cuckoo" by Viktor Tsoi in her performance captivated both the audience and the jury. By the way, the young contestant heard the song itself for the first time on the eve of the performance. There was practically no time left to learn the composition, but Yaroslava firmly stated that she would sing it.
Singer and designer
After the first performance with a symphony orchestra, mentor Dima Bilan praised the ward:
Now you're all right.
Not all teeth. One fell out yesterday, - the little girl corrected him.
The fact that the competition podium turned out to be the second, and not the first, upsets Yaroslav, but not too much:
“Danil Pluzhnikov needed the victory more than me. After all, he needs to be treated, ”Yasya reasoned.
The girl tries not to think about the fact that she herself will have several complex operations. After all, today, as in a fairy tale, all dreams come true. Yaroslava participates in a variety of shows, skillfully copes with the role of a presenter on children's radio and even tries her hand at design art. Glory turned out to be an extremely troublesome thing: the capital's day of the star is scheduled by the minute - filming, concerts ...
And recently, a certain admirer of talent gave Yaroslav a live horse. Now the Degtyarevs are puzzled over where to place the animal.
Yaroslav is in no hurry to talk about plans for the future. She likes music, design, animals.
“In the meantime, I’m just a girl who sings,” Yasya explains to a dull adult.
Date of birth: August 14, 2008 Place of birth: Gukovo, Rostov region Yaroslava Degtyareva is a small participant in the 3rd season of the vocal show “Voice. Children”, which captivated the audience and the jury with a completely childish performance of a complex composition. Yasya, as her relatives and friends call her, was born and lives in the Rostov region, in the small mining town of Gukovo. When the girl was only 5 years old, she and her parents got into a car accident. The child had to literally learn to walk again - first on crutches, then on his own. Her mother, Lesya Bumagina, was terribly worried that her daughter would develop complexes due to injuries and scars, but Yaroslava already at the age of 5 showed herself to be a real fighter and a resilient optimist. She not only dealt with problems purposefully, but also encouraged her mother. To relieve the psychological burden on her daughter, Lesya enrolled Yasya in the children's vocal studio "Inspiration", where the girl became the leading soloist at the age of 6. The timbre of Degtyareva's voice, unusual for such a tender age, instantly distinguishes her from a number of other children. As a singer, Yasya Degtyareva tried herself in several music competitions in her city and in Rostov-on-Don. When the casting of the 3rd season of the children's version of the television show "Voice" was announced, she and her mother decided to overcome fear and excitement and apply. At the preliminary audition, the organizers of the project approved the choice of the song "Cuckoo" by Yaroslava Degtyarova from Viktor Tsoi's repertoire. The girl heard this song on the eve of the performance in the movie "Battle for Sevastopol" and she herself insisted on performing it. Unlike most of the other participants, who prepared their numbers for many weeks, Yasya sang after minimal preparation. The task of the 7-year-old singer was even more complicated by the fact that she had to perform first at the blind auditions. At first she got agitated and performed the debut of the song in an inappropriate range, but then she pulled herself together and sang from the second verse so that she made a splash, and Pelageya, one of the judges' three, even announced publicly that she had goosebumps from Yaroslav's amazing voice . And when the jury members saw what a little girl was standing on the stage, their surprise knew no bounds. Another member of the panel of judges, Dima Bilan, even went on stage to make sure that the young participant was almost half his height. since two of the three jury members turned to Yaroslav, she could choose her own mentor. With childish spontaneity, the girl said that although Pelageya is very beautiful, she chooses Dima Bilan, since “even as a child” her mother played his songs to her, besides, the girl’s best friend is very similar to him. Thus, Yaroslav Degtyareva became not only the first singer to appear on the stage “Voice. Children”, but also the first member of the Bilan team. After performing just one song "Cuckoo", little Yasha already had crowds of fans who hope that she will retain that sincerity and immediacy of singing, with which she won the hearts of a multi-million audience. Yaroslava Degtyareva is a young Russian singer, actress, participant in the Voice. Children-3.Childhood and family
Yaroslav Viktorovna Degtyareva was born on August 14, 2008 in Rostov-on-Don. The talent for singing woke up in Yasa - as her relatives affectionately call her - very early. However, her great plans to become a singer were once nearly thwarted by a fatal accident. 
When the girl was five, she and her family got into a car accident. The girl's father was driving the car that terrible day. He lost control and the car went into a ditch. Yaroslava received an open craniocerebral injury, many fractures and eye damage. The girl had to endure several serious operations and learn to walk again.
But even during the days of recovery in the hospital, the charming baby did not lose optimism: having barely recovered, she began to walk around the wards and perform in front of other children. “Mom, they love it so much! I am so glad that I can do something for them, ”the young singer shared her impressions.
Voice. Children
When all the worst was over, Yaroslava, together with her mother Olesya (after the accident, the woman divorced her husband) moved to her grandmother in the small mining town of Gukovo in the Rostov region. There, the girl was sent to a music studio, where she immediately became a soloist. 
The talented baby often shone at local concerts and talent competitions, often winning prizes. And when the recruitment of participants for the third season of the popular show “Voice.Children” was announced, mother Olesya applied for participation without hesitation.
The show started in February 2016. At the stage of blind auditions, the 8-year-old baby shocked the judges with a brilliant, adult performance of Viktor Tsoi's song "Cuckoo". Pelageya and Dima Bilan immediately turned to her - the girl preferred the latter as a mentor.
Yaroslav Degtyarev with the song "Cuckoo"
Later, Yaroslava admitted that she was preparing several songs for casting, but could not choose one. As a result, the girl at the last moment remembered her favorite song "Cuckoo", which she heard in the movie "Battle for Sevastopol", and decided to perform it. Subsequently, the song performed by Yaroslava entered the top 10 most popular videos in the Russian-language segment of YouTube in 2016.
The show was very successful for Yaroslav - Bilan, other judges and viewers adored the baby and supported her with all their might in the competition. Thanks to her efforts and the support of her fans, Degtyareva managed to reach the final, but she lost the first prize to Danila Pluzhnikov.
Later career
But even when the next season of "Voice" began, they did not think about forgetting about Degtyareva, who won the hearts of the whole country. She and her mother moved to Moscow, the baby was invited to speak on the radio, she appeared again and again on Channel One, and once she even tried herself as a model at Fashion Week in Moscow. In addition, the baby took part in the show "Alice in Wonderland on Ice" in St. Petersburg and won the title of "Girl of the Year" at the Teens Bachelorette Party award in March 2017. A month later, the presentation of her first author's song "One" took place.Yaroslav Degtyareva - One

In December 2017, Kirill Pletnev's film "Burn!" was released. about a prison guard (Inga Oboldina) who is pursuing her dream of becoming a singer. The girl played a small but important role - the main character in childhood. On the set, the baby met such famous Russian actors as Victoria Isakova, Vladimir Ilyin, Anna Ukolova.
