We lived in marriage for a year and a half. Grigory Kleimits - first husband of Irina Ponarovskaya Second husband - Wayland Rudd (born December 11, 1946), black jazz singer and musician. The couple had a son on October 17, 1984 - Anthony Rodd, an artist who lives in Norway. Irina Ponarovskaya and Weiland Rodd Ponarovskaya and Rodd were married for seven years. They divorced because Rodd often cheated on the singer and practiced assault. “He could bring a neighbor’s girl into our bedroom and have a relationship with her there,” said the artist. After the divorce, she did not allow her husband to see her son. Anthony Rodd - son of Irina Ponarovskaya For some time, Ponarovskaya and Rodd were raised in the family stepdaughter- Anastasia Kormysheva. She ended up in the famous family pop singer and her husband aged 11 months. But she didn’t live there long: when Nastya was four years old, she was sent to an orphanage. In her interviews, the girl claimed that in star family they beat her and dragged her by the hair. When Anastasia Kormysheva was 16 years old, she again decided to get closer to her adoptive mother. However, their communication, resumed thanks to the “Wait for Me” program, did not work out. Then Irina Ponarovskaya accused the girl of theft. On the air of the program, Anastasia shared her version of what happened. According to Kormysheva, she took jewelry from the singer to try it on, and then went to the store with the jewelry. “I come home and everything falls out of my bag. Irina Vitalievna arrives and locks herself in the room. Without saying a single word to me. I was accused of theft, they bought me a ticket. After that, I didn’t see Irina,” said Anastasia Kormysheva in the “Actually” program. Anastasia Kormysheva is the adopted daughter of Irina Ponarovskaya. For some time the singer lived in a civil marriage with the singer Soso Pavliashvili.

Since 2010, Ponarovskaya has been spending a lot of time with her son in Norway. Also in Estonia, in my old house near Narva.

Natalia Vlasova’s first composition, “I’m at your feet,” became a hit and made it to the final of “Song of the Year.”

The performer performed at Alla Pugacheva’s “Christmas Meetings”, and then suddenly disappeared. On November 2, with the “Mirage” program on the stage of Vegas City Hall in Moscow, the artist intends to make a brilliant return to show business. We asked the singer where she had been all this time.

Natalia, I haven’t heard from you for many years. Where did they disappear?
Yes, for most, it was as if I had disappeared for these ten years: I was not in the party, on the programs. Where I wanted, they didn’t invite me; where they called me, I didn’t want to. I went through an incredible number of mistakes, gained invaluable experience and created unique material, which would never have appeared if I had not been myself and a little apart from the rest of show business.


You have written many compositions, but everyone only knows “I’m at your feet.” Doesn't this offend you?
Come on! I can only thank God for the fact that I have a song that everyone knows. Many artists spend their entire lives looking for something like this and never finding it, but I succeeded the first time. Not only sing, but also write. Before “I’m at Your Feet” was born, I already had fifty songs, but it turned out that I was able to show everyone this one. It was written in the kitchen, with a guitar. At that moment, I didn’t even think that anyone would hear her. It just poured out of my soul, that’s all. Everyone knows “I’m at your feet,” but not everyone knows at least a hundred more of my songs. In total I have this moment there are about four hundred of them.

You have a higher education classical education, why did you go into pop music?
Firstly, I don’t think that the word “pop” has any negative connotations. Still, it doesn’t mean “pop,” but rather “popular” for me. In my opinion, this is just right when talented, classically and jazz-educated musicians perform on the pop stage. As a child, there were only classics in my life. An entire period of his life was associated with the Great Hall of the St. Petersburg Academic Chapel- a beautiful, cozy and colorful place near Palace Square, where I performed annually: I played the piano, sang with the choir, performed as a soloist with symphony orchestra. Back then I was fanatically in love with Chopin, I could play his music for hours, and I never had to be forced to do it. And then suddenly, at the age of 16, I started writing songs. Is it true that you wrote your first song as a bet with your father?
It’s not that we shook hands and I went to write a song, but for many years he instilled in me the idea: “Millions can play the classics, but you try to write something of your own!” Usually with these words he burst into my room when he could no longer hear my scales and etudes (laughs). At first I answered that I was neither Bach nor Beethoven, but then I decided to try. I just sat down at the instrument and said that I won’t get up until I write. In less than half an hour everything was ready. It was a tragic romance “As I say goodbye, I will renounce you, loving and crying,” - and what else could there be at this age?!

I know that Alla Pugacheva helped you get through. How did you meet?
It all started with funny story. When I was 14 years old, I had a dream that I was living as her guest, in some small cozy apartment. I live for three days, wake up and think what this is for. Then I had just finished school and was about to enter college. School of Music At the conservatory, as a pianist, I didn’t think about any kind of pop music and didn’t write songs at all. Marvelous! This is not the case when a dentist dreams of a tooth - everything is natural here. In my case it's just amazing prophetic dream: six years later I ended up visiting Alla Borisovna, in her country house, on the set of the program “Christmas Meetings”.
How did Pugacheva seem to you off stage?
A stylish and cozy mistress of hearts and her home. Director and screenwriter of every detail that happens in life. Magnificent and unsurpassed in its simplicity and wisdom.

How does your daughter Pelageya feel about your popularity?
He knows a lot of my repertoire by heart and sings karaoke at home. Right now her favorites are my new “Love Me Longer” and “And Again New Year!”, which we just finished yesterday. I often ask her for advice or try new things on her when she doesn't realize it. You can't fool a child - if he dances, sings and is happy when he thinks that no one is looking at him, then you have hit the nail on the head! (laughs). Pelageya has been studying at Children's for the fifth year musical theater young actor and this, of course, is a lot of experience, but her main talent, it seems to me, lies elsewhere. She has an unusually sharp mind. Little Urgant in a skirt! She can joke so much that a group of 30 adults will laugh until they cry for five minutes, and then discuss her jokes on the phone for another six months. She also sings great - she has a clear, strong and very clear voice. But, unfortunately, for now she truly enjoys singing only when no one can hear her. Almost always refuses to sing in public: I don’t want to – that’s all.”

Popularity is an extremely unusual entity. She can suddenly fall on a person and knock him down. Or it might go away like a wave at low tide. In the 1990s, the whole country was shocked by the singer Linda - where is she now? The domestic media seemed to have forgotten about its existence.

Curriculum Vitae

An extraordinary girl was born in 1977 on the territory of the Kazakh SSR, where her parents were exiled during Stalin's repressions. In the region where she grew up (the city of Kentau) there was a significant Greek diaspora. The future singer grew up in a multinational Russian-Jewish-Kazakh-Greek society, which affected her creativity and worldview.

Main events early years girls:

• IN adolescence she and her family move to the capital, where she tries music for the first time;
• Goes to theater Club, who acted on the stage of the Hermitage studio;
• Despite many cultural activities, the girl grew up lonely, unsociable, and found it difficult to work in a team. That's why she left the Hermitage;
• At the age of 16 he entered the famous “Gnesinka” in Moscow for the vocal department;
• From then on, her song career began to advance by leaps and bounds. She participates in international competitions, and is getting the attention of prominent figures in the music industry.

And here is one of Linda’s first videos for the song “Little Fire”, which made her popular:

What is the real name of the singer Linda?

The singer's real name is Svetlana Gaiman. But for a long time she performed under different pseudonyms - first Vorona, then Linda. Origin last name was one of the main mysteries of Russian show business in the 1990s.

And even today there are several versions about this:

• As Svetlana recalled, her grandmother called her Leibla as a child, which translates as “sun” from Hebrew. After the start musical career she slightly changed her childhood nickname and received a recognizable creative pseudonym;
• Maxim Fadeev, with whom she collaborated long time, adheres to a different version. According to him, “he created the singer from A to Z.” Allegedly, it was he who gave her a new name and developed a stage image;
• There is another version - the performer deliberately came up with a new name to avoid anti-Semitic attacks. Concealing their origins by Jews is a fairly common practice in the USSR and beyond;
• In an interview in 1999, the girl stated that “she was born Linda.” However, she probably made such a statement as part of her image.

The singer's musical career

Her first steps in the musical field were associated with the name of producer Yuri Aizenshpis. It was in collaboration with him that the first compositions “Playing with Fire” and “Non-Stop” were recorded. A video clip was recorded, directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk.

• In 1994, the first album “Songs of Tibetan Lamas” was published, which achieved platinum status. A video sequence was shot for some songs from the collection;
• After some time, a record with remixes was released, but it did not have its former success;
• A year later, Svetlana gave her first live concert in the Northern capital;
• In 1996, the second collection “The Crow” was published, which became the event of the year in Russian show business. The number of copies sold exceeded a million;
• In 1997, Fadeev decided to release “Crow” in a new dance arrangement. The resulting disc even had greater success than the original;
• Linda spent the next few years performing around the country.

Linda and Max Fadeev: why did they break up?

This super-fruitful creative union did not last long. By the early 2000s, there was a serious discord in the musical couple, and there were several reasons for this:

1. In 1997, Max decided to move to Germany and became very distant from his protégé. Because of this, promotional and speaking activities have stalled;
2. When recording the new collection “Placenta,” significant differences began to appear between the producer and singer. Linda quickly made it clear that she wanted more of a say in the album's creation;
3. Fadeev's egocentrism is known: he loved to attribute all joint achievements to himself alone;
4. The album “Placenta”, released in 1999, had good reviews critics, but suffered a crushing financial defeat. Svetlana and Maxim blamed each other for the failure. Finally, they decided to suspend cooperation indefinitely;
5. In one of his interviews, Fadeev named Svetlana’s father as the main culprit in the breakup. former sponsor project: he allegedly threatened and insulted the producer.

Where did Linda the singer go?

After breaking up with the producer, Svetlana’s public capitalization went downhill. Max had remarkable influence in Russian show business and, like a tanker, pushed through young talent. With his departure, his connections also went away, so it seemed as if the performer had “disappeared” somewhere.

But in fact, her creative activity did not decline, although it was no longer illuminated by the spotlight:

• In the 15 years that followed her breakup with Max, she recorded 7 studio albums. In the 2000s, she changed both her visual style (she turned into a blonde) and her musical style (now she performs in the genre gothic rock);
• In 2016, her video “Everyone Gets Sick” was warmly received by the country’s music television channels;
• In 2016-2017, she toured cities and villages with concerts. I managed to visit Saratov, Minsk, Sochi, Ryazan, Moscow, St. Petersburg.

One of the most promising stars of post-perestroika Russia was the singer Linda. Only her most devoted fans know where she is now. But she doesn’t give up: she writes songs and releases albums. Tour 2016-2017 includes everything big cities countries. Between vain popularity and love of art, she chose the latter.

Video: who did Linda become?

In this video you will see Linda in a new image, as she has become now. The singer will talk about her successes and creative plans:

Journalists found out what was happening in the life of the singer, who became famous in 2007 thanks to the song “Go Away and Close the Door,” and then disappeared somewhere.

As StarHit notes, in 2007, the words of the song “Go away and close the door” were sung by almost every resident of our country. The impetus for the rapid development of the artist’s career can be called participation in the “Five Stars” competition, which was held by Channel One in Sochi. There, a young performer with a strong voice took second place, losing to the duet of Potap and Nastya Kamensky. For some time, Zhenya Otradnaya’s songs were often played on radio stations, became soundtracks for TV series, and clips were included in the rotation of music TV channels.

The publication decided to find out what the once popular artist is doing now.

In an interview with StarHit, the artist said that her “disappearance” was connected with the birth of her children.

"But now, when they have grown up a little, I have begun to gradually return to the profession - I write songs myself, perform what they write for me. Since the beginning of the season, that is, since September last year, I have posted several compositions on the Internet. Now I have begun to be active period, I’m looking for a producer. I also became a video blogger - I tell people where to go in Moscow. I’m now a second-year student at the Russian State University for the Humanities, Faculty of Art History. So I’m talking about museums and significant places.", Zhenya said.

According to the singer, she spends a lot of time on children.

"I am not a supporter of leaving them with nannies, grandmothers for for a long time. The youngest is soon four years old, and the oldest is six. That’s why I entered university two years ago, because the children had grown up a little. A small child under three years old has a strong connection with his mother, so separation is traumatic for both parents and babies. Now girls structure my life - I instantly understand what needs to be done and what is not worth my attention. I distribute my time and energy differently. Since September, girls have been going to kindergarten. It’s like a different era in my life has arrived! I now have a whole half day free! Previously, I didn’t value time - I could lie there all day with a book or constantly visit the fitness club. And now in the morning I quickly run to the studio, then back to pick up the children. I really appreciate the support of my parents - children get tired of being with mom and dad all the time, they need to communicate with the older generation", she noted.

Zhenya Otradnaya also spoke about her husband:

"We got married very quickly. We met in Ivanovo, on the set of Sergei Solovyov's film Odnoklassniki. Zhenya worked there as a sound engineer. I played myself there. He saw me at a performance, he liked it. A year and a half later, when the film was ready , presented him at the festival. We rode on a boat for three days. And after that we couldn’t leave Zhenya, we got married, I was already pregnant.”

When asked how her husband proposed to her, the singer noted:

"It was at his parents' house. First we were at a celebrity party, and then we decided to go to the village and spent three days there. When I saw his family, they seemed so good to me. It was important for me - when you see relatives, then you understand where everything comes from in terms of upbringing, and in general you can learn a lot about a person. You looked at his album, which his parents had, and Zhenya was so small. I said that I want the same thing. And he said: “Let’s give birth, get married!"

Zhenya doesn’t really miss the times of her popularity.

"To be honest, I don’t often remember that period. It was hard, I lived alone in Moscow. For me it was work, not a holiday. Yes, there were concerts, I flew actively to different cities. At some point I realized that this popularity proved something to someone - I came to Moscow, did everything I wanted, but it’s not so satisfying, it’s in. to a greater extent producer's success. Yes, my achievement is that I worked since childhood and was hired for this “role”. Now I get much more satisfaction when I write songs myself. Even though the compositions have not yet achieved such success, but still this is my “blood”, and I don’t owe anything to anyone.", - she said.

In the 90s, the charming blonde Svetlana was primarily associated with the surname Lazarev. Her songs instantly became hits. You definitely remember “Yellow Boats”, “Come Back Home”, “Lavochka”, “Vest” and, of course, the song “Mama” performed by this singer.

In the 2000s, the artist was replaced by Seryozha Lazarev, rocking out on stage with Vlad Topalov. Those were fun times. " However, where did it go? Svetlana Lazareva and why is she no longer seen on television?- you ask. We also asked ourselves the same question, so we decided to figure out what was what.

Svetlana started her Star Trek from work in Krasnodar Philharmonic. The girl’s talent was noticed by composer Theodor Efimov. It was he who brought Lazareva to VIA "Blue Bird", where she worked from 1983 to 1989.

At the television pop song festival “Jurmala-88” Svetlana meets Lada Volkova (pseudonym Dance) and Alena Vitebskaya. The girls quickly became friends and soon created vocal trio “Zhensovet”.

In 1990, Lazareva decides to take up solo career. Her debut album “Let's Get Married!” is released, which quickly gained recognition among pop music fans.

The second album “Telnyashka” is released only four years later, but it becomes more popular than the previous one. And in 1995, the third album “ABC of Love” was released. The singer is invited to work as a TV presenter together with Ilona Bronevitskaya in music program"Morning Post".

Later, Lazareva released several more albums, which no longer sold as much. large editions, like the first. And after the release of the album “Names for All Seasons” Svetlana practically disappears from the scene.

In the artist’s personal life, everything turned out just fine. The first marriage, however, was unsuccessful. Having married the poet Simon Osiashvili, Svetlana quickly divorced him. However, a little later she meets her love - businessman Vitaly.

Without thinking twice, the couple got married, and in 1996 they daughter Natalia is born, which the couple named after close friend family, Natalia Vetlitskaya, who became godmother babies.

Now the star is already 56 years old, but she is still as fresh and full of energy as 25 years ago. Although the singer does not release new albums, she still performs. In 2006 there was concert “Golden Voices of the Blue Bird”, in which, in addition to Lazareva, Sergei Drozdov and Sergei Levkin took part.

You almost never see a celebrity on stage, since she mainly gives charity concerts in nursing homes and women's colonies.

It seems that Svetlana Yuryevna has found her place in this life. She may not have become a mega-popular singer of our time, but she is quite happy: she has realized herself as a mother and still works in the music industry. What more could you ask for?

Her charity concerts and appearance. At 56 years old, Lazareva looks more than worthy: no unnecessary plastic surgery, which our stars now so love to indulge in.
