The extraordinary singer Linda can rightfully be considered the main phenomenon of the 90s. It was she and her kind who stuffed us with meaningless songs with an easy-to-remember melody and a simple motive. But still, Linda herself (real name Svetlana Lvovna Geiman) stood out favorably against the background of blonde one-day singers.
Suddenly, at the peak of her popularity, the ward of Max Fadeev disappeared from the screens and from the air. However, she did not change her occupation, all this time Linda was directly engaged in creativity and even recorded about a dozen albums.
Alas, none of them managed to repeat the success of Linda's second studio album "The Crow" in 1996, which included immortal hits our youth.
Actually, here is the song of the same name, which is still associated with the name of the singer Linda.
Linda - "The Crow"
One of the first compositions that brought fame to Linda.
Linda - "Little Fire"
In one of his recent interviews, the star of the 90s admits that he does not drink, smoke or use drugs at all. Marijuana is just a metaphor: “We were maximalists, and we really liked what we were doing. We were so ascetic, stung by everything, so “in the east”, and, naturally, this was perceived in a peculiar way. We were not like the others, absolutely, we were free, flexible, wild, absolutely cut off from everything that was familiar at that time.
Linda "Marijuana"
After the break with producer Max Fadeev, the career of the outrageous performer went downhill. Yes, Linda will forever remain a bright figure in the show business of the 90s, and even today the performer still has an army of fans.
On Instagram, the artist has more than 30 thousand subscribers.
For 20 years after the collapse of the super-creative union with Fadeev, Linda's activity as a musician did not fall. She released 7 albums, slightly changed her image and switched from trip-rock to gothic rock.
As for her personal life, 13 years ago, thanks to the efforts of her director, Linda met the Greek singer and composer Stefanos Korkolis. Both musicians worked at the recording studio Universal Music. Subsequently, a new romantic union was born from the creative.
The last album of the singer "Lai, @!" differs by cardinally new sounding and special depth of texts. Linda herself says: “I want people who come to the concert not to compare me with the old me. The past was great, but it's over. Everything has some development. I belong to a group of people who are like trees: they have their roots, leaves that sometimes fall off, sometimes fall painfully. But then they grow up again. I'm with them."
Unfortunately, one of the most promising stars has joined the ranks of the outsiders of modern show business. Just between vanity and love for music, Linda chose the latter.
Singer Zhenya Otradnaya became popular thanks to the song “Go away and close the door” - in 2007, almost every inhabitant of our country sang the words of this composition. 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, the songs of Zhenya Otradnaya were often heard on radio stations, became soundtracks for TV shows, and clips fell into the rotation of music TV channels. StarHit decided to find out what the once popular artist is doing now.
Zhenya, you had such a bright start, but now you are almost inaudible. What is the reason for your disappearance?
I had a break due to the birth of children. But now, when they have grown up a little, I began to gradually return to the profession - I write songs myself, I perform what they compose for me. Since the beginning of the season, that is, since September last year, she posted several compositions on the Internet. Now my active period has begun, I am looking for a producer. I also became a video blogger - I tell people where to go in Moscow. I am 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.
So you are now a student. Why did you decide to get another education?
I dreamed about it since childhood. FROM early age I went to various competitions abroad, I came to Italy for several years in a row, there was a cruise on a ship in the Mediterranean. In addition to the fact that we sang songs, of course, we went on excursions. So it turned out that I absorbed the impressions of cathedrals, buildings, architecture. And so the dream of learning to understand art was born. But when she began to actively engage in pop music, so to speak, she worked as "Zhenya Otradnaya", studied at GITIS, there was not enough time for everything. And now an opportunity has arisen, and I decided to realize my dream. I do not think that I will become a great art critic, but I want to popularize this area. We have such a big country, and not everyone has the opportunity to visit different museums. So at least through my video blog they will have a chance to learn something more. Yes, and it is useful for children to go to museums.
Did you, as a beginner vlogger, have any incidents during filming?
Firstly, filming in museums is a risky business, because in many places this is not allowed. My friend Masha and I are constantly on adrenaline - we need not just a picture, but also a story. A microphone is attached to me, the camera hangs around my friend’s neck, and therefore I constantly say that she “shoots with her stomach.” When I tell something, I pretend to address Masha. Sometimes it happens that people come up and start arguing with me. But we are not only doing a video blog about art, but also talking about the everyday life of a pop singer. Somehow we arrived at the site, but no one met us. We roughly know where the hall in which we will perform is located in the building, and we go in ourselves. They are trying to kick us out, I have to explain that I didn’t just come in, but that I sing at their event today. It was very funny to see their reaction.
Where does the strength come from - to raise two daughters, and study, and record songs, and shoot video blogs?
I spend a lot of time with children. I am not a supporter of leaving them with nannies, grandmothers for a long time. The youngest is about four years old, and the oldest is six. That's why I entered the university two years ago, because the children grew up a little. A small child under three years of age has a strong bond with his mother, so separation is traumatic for both parents and babies. Now the 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. The girls have been going to kindergarten since September. It's like a new era in my life! I now have a whole half day free! I didn’t appreciate time before - I could lie down with a book all day or constantly visit the fitness club. And now in the morning I quickly run to the studio, then back for the children. I really appreciate the support of parents - children get tired of being with mom and dad all the time, they need to communicate with the older generation.
Do children know that their mother is an artist? Are they familiar with your work?
A year ago, we went to the anniversary of the band, in which I sang as a child, in my hometown. We went on stage with my daughter, and I saw that she was getting high from the performance. Antonina still remembers the audience, applause. But I would like the children to be educated in some other professions, not to become artists.
Why?
It will come by itself, if there is a vein, if you confidently hold on to the stage. Technique can be pulled up, artistry will not go anywhere. It seems to me that the most important thing is that a person be educated, well-read, and have a broad outlook. And you can always perform - it's a matter of practice. Creativity will "shoot", will make itself felt.
Well, what about music school?
Yes, of course, it is necessary even for general development. Here you read Aristotle, Plato, and from their works it is clear that earlier education included playing musical instruments, the art of performance, oratory - this was taught from childhood. Of course, other types of arts are important for the full development of the child - dancing, as well as sports. The sense of rhythm, posture, grace remain for life.
Do girls go to dances or play sports?
AT kindergarten they have dance lessons. We still go to classes English language. It seems to me that children should have different “hanging out”, where they communicate with their peers, and different authorities in the face of teachers. An artist, a tutor comes to us on weekends, we take care of the whole family. I need this for my studies, my husband too, he works in the film industry. Children are also interested - we draw together with them. It brings the family together a lot.
How long have you lived with your 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 the performance, he liked it. A year and a half later, when the film was already ready, it was presented at the festival. Three days on the boat. And after that they could not part with Zhenya, got married, I was already pregnant.
How did he propose to you?
It was at his parents' house. At first we were at a star 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. For me it was important - when you see relatives, you understand where everything comes from in terms of education, and in general you can learn a lot about a person. We watched his album, which was with his parents, and Zhenya is so small there. I said I want the same. And he said: "Let's give birth, get married!"
Do you regret giving up your career and devoting yourself to your family?
The children were born in a row - two years difference, so there was no time to wake up. But that's what we wanted. When Antonina was seven months old, she somehow sat in a large room, rearranging toys. We felt so sorry for her, she seemed lonely. We decided that she urgently needed a brother or sister. Of course, I'm on a big break right now. I look at my friends, colleagues, follow their progress, and I myself sit without work. But still, these are my children, I draw energy. Of course, it is difficult to be at home all the time, you cannot go far. And how do I leave the child, how can I give it to the care of other people, we are very attached to each other at the energy level. And after a while, when the child grows up, moves away a little and may well exist on his own, it already becomes easier. Now, when I'm at university, it inspires me - I wrote a lot of songs. It just seems to be unrelated. It seems that I am loaded - both children and study, but inspiration still comes.
Do you write music or lyrics?
All. I sang in the rock band "110 Volt". There we had music, but without lyrics, so I had to take it on. Mastery comes with experience. Now for myself I write immediately with melodies. I have friends who are musicians who help bring ideas to life. Some songs can be listened to online.
And now the group broke up? Are you planning to resume work?
I don't think. We realized that we must either work actively or disperse. it a difficult situation. When there are several people, it is difficult to organize rehearsals - still live. At that time, we did not find a manager, a concert agent, who would deal with our promotion. The musician has a different function. When they realized that no one takes responsibility and does not drag organizational issues, then left everything for a while. And then I thought: “Well, what a rock group, it’s easier for me to work on my own.”
Why, when you sang solo, did you stop working with the producer? Were there any misunderstandings?
Sometimes being alone with yourself, not thinking about what is happening in the world right now, is very useful. And the stars also need a quiet vacation, spent away from the cameras.
Where did Yulia Savicheva disappear to? Explains Max Fadeev
Maxim Fadeev - producer of Yulia Savicheva. It is not surprising that the star's worried fans turned to him after she stopped posting new photos on social networks.
By the way, Yulia rarely did this before, she never put virtual life above real life. But when the period of silence turned out to be too long, the singer's fans began to worry.
What did the producer Savicheva say to them? He called for calm and assured that their favorite was preparing a surprise. What is it about?
Personal life or creativity?
Recently, more and more rumors have appeared in the press that Yulia Savicheva and her husband Alexander Arshinov are waiting for a quick replenishment in the family. The singer does not comment on these rumors in any way, which further fuels the public's interest in her personal life.
Fadeev spoke on this topic. On his Instagram page, the producer wrote: “Yulia is currently busy preparing material for a new album. She decided to devote the rest of her time to her family. She'll be back soon and tell you everything herself."
But where will the celebrity come from?
Where is Yulia Savicheva
The star, along with her husband, went on vacation to Portugal. The vacation was delayed, and that is why nothing has been heard about the singer lately.
By the way, Julia and her husband are very fond of traveling, getting to know different countries, peoples and their culture. Savicheva especially fell in love with Portugal, because it is a country with open and pleasant people, delicious food, which can be bought everywhere, and a wonderful climate. Therefore, the couple decided to spend their long vacation there.
What else did Fadeev say?
But back to the rumors about the disappearance of the singer and how her producer commented on them. There is another interesting point in this regard.
When asked where the rumors about the pregnancy of his ward could come from, Maxim replied that they were spread by the same strange personalities. As it turned out, they even called his mother several times and asked where the singer had gone. Despite the fact that they received no answers, articles about Yulia's possible pregnancy began to appear on the Web.
In the 90s, the charming blonde Svetlana was primarily associated with the name Lazarev. Her songs became instant hits. You definitely remember “Yellow Ships”, “Come Home”, “Shop”, “Vest” and, of course, the song “Mama” performed by this singer.
In the 2000s, the artist was replaced by Serezha Lazarev, rocking out on stage with Vlad Topalov. Those were fun times. " However, where did it go? Svetlana Lazareva And why isn't she seen on TV anymore?» - 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 the Krasnodar Philharmonic. The girl's talent was noticed by the composer Theodor Efimov. It was he who brought Lazareva to VIA "Blue Bird" where she worked from 1983 to 1989.
At the Jurmala-88 television pop song festival, Svetlana meets Lada Volkova (pseudonym Dance) and Alena Vitebskaya. The girls quickly became friends and soon create vocal trio "Women's Council".
In 1990, Lazareva decides to take up solo career. Comes out her debut album"Let's get married!", 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 "The ABC of Love" was born. The singer is invited to work as a TV presenter along with Ilona Bronevitskaya in music program"Morning Post".
Later, Lazareva releases several more albums, which are no longer sold in such large numbers as the first ones. And after the release of the album "Names for all times" Svetlana almost disappears from the stage.
In her personal life, the artist has developed everything as well as possible. 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 gets married, and in 1996 they have daughter Natalia is born, which the couple named after a close family friend, Natalya Vetlitskaya, who became godmother babes.
Now the star is already 56 years old, but she is still as fresh and full of energy as she was 25 years ago. Although the singer does not release new albums, she still performs. In 2006 took place concert "Golden Voices of the Blue Bird", in which, in addition to Lazareva, Sergey Drozdov and Sergey Lyovkin took part.
You almost never see a celebrity on stage, because she gives mostly charity concerts in nursing homes and in women's colonies.

It seems that Svetlana Yurievna has found her place in this life. Perhaps she did not become a mega-popular singer of our time, but she is quite happy: she realized herself as a mother and still works in music industry. What more could you want?
Admiration is also caused by her charity concerts and appearance. At 56, Lazareva looks more than worthy: no unnecessary plastic, which our stars love to indulge in now.
The very first composition of Natalia Vlasova “I am 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 brilliantly return to show business. We learned from the singer where she had been disappearing all this time.
Natalia, I haven't heard from you for many years. Where did they disappear?
Yes, for the majority, I seemed to have disappeared for these ten years: I was not in the party, on the programs. Where they wanted - they didn’t call there, where they called - they didn’t want to. I went through an incredible amount of mistakes, gained invaluable experience and created unique material that would never have appeared if I had not been myself and a little bit apart from the rest of show business. 
You have written many compositions, but everyone knows only "I am at your feet." Doesn't it offend you?
Yes, what are you! I can only thank God for the fact that I have a song that everyone knows. Many artists have been looking for this all their lives and never find it, but I did it the first time. Not only to sing, but also to write. Before “I am at your feet” was born, I already had fifty songs, but it so happened that I was able to show everyone just her. It was written in the kitchen, with a guitar. At that moment, I didn’t think that anyone would hear it. It just poured out of my soul, that's all. Everyone knows “I am at your feet”, and not everyone knows at least another hundred of my songs. In total I have this moment there are about four hundred of them.
You have a higher classical education, and why did you go into pop music?
Firstly, I do not think that the word "pop" has any negative connotations. Still, not from the "priest", but from the "popular" it is for me. In my opinion, this is just right when talented, classically and jazz-educated musicians perform on the pop stage. As a child, I had only the classics in my life. whole period life was associated with the Great Hall of the St. Petersburg Academic Chapel - a beautiful, cozy and colorful place next to Palace Square where I performed every year: I played the piano, sang with the choir, performed as a soloist with symphony orchestra. Then I was fanatically in love with Chopin, I could play his music for hours, and I never needed to be forced to do it. And then suddenly, at the age of 16, she began to write songs. Is it true that you wrote the first song on a bet with your father?
Not that we shook hands, and I went to write a song, but for many years he inspired me with the thought: “Millions can play classics, and 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 would not get up until I wrote. In less than half an hour everything was ready. It was a tragic romance “I, saying goodbye, will renounce, loving and crying, from you” - and what else can be at this age ?!
I know that Alla Pugacheva helped you get through. How did your acquaintance happen?
It all started with a funny story. At the age of 14, I had a dream that I was living at her place, in some small cozy apartment. I live for three days, wake up and think what it would be for. Then I was just finishing school, I was going to enter School of Music at the conservatory, as a pianist, she didn’t think about any stage and generally didn’t write songs yet. Marvelous! This is not the case when a dentist dreams of a tooth - everything is natural here. In my case, this is just an amazingly prophetic dream: six years later I was visiting Alla Borisovna, in her country house, on the set of the program "Christmas Meetings".
What Pugacheva seemed to you outside the stage?
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 at karaoke at home. Now she likes my new "Love me longer" and "And again New Year!”, which we just finished yesterday. I often ask her for advice or test new things on her when she doesn't know 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 hit the mark! (laughs). Pelageya has been studying at the Children's musical theater a young actor and this, of course, is a great experience, but her main talent, it seems to me, is different. She has an unusually sharp mind. Little Urgant in a skirt! She can joke so that a company of 30 adults will laugh to tears for five minutes, and then discuss her jokes on the phone for another six months. She also sings great - she has a sonorous, strong and very clear voice. But, unfortunately, while she really enjoys singing, only when no one hears her. Almost always refuses to sing in public: I don’t want to - that’s all.
