Nikolai himself issued a special statement on this subject: “I appeal to all fans of the Disco Crash group and I want you to know that I didn’t come to the decision to leave the group on my own, I was forced to do it. Our personal and creative relationships with colleagues went into dead end. Being the founder of the group, I always wanted our friendship and joint work to continue for many years. I did not think about a solo career, but things turned out differently. "

In March 2014, Aleksey Ryzhov tried to challenge the decision of the Oktyabrsky District Court of the city of Ivanovo, filing a complaint with the Ivanovo Regional Court, motivating his claim by the fact that he had suffered moral suffering, demanding from Nikolai Timofeev compensation for moral damage in double the amount for using his musical works. However, the judicial board of the Ivanovo Regional Court left Ryzhov's private complaint unsatisfied.
Later, the Supreme Court of Russia approved the judicial acts of lower instances, which, at the suit of the songwriter of the Disco Crash group, Alexei Ryzhov, banned the ex-soloist Nikolai Timofeev from performing three songs written by Ryzhov.
On June 12, 2014, on the Day of Russia, the premiere of the video clip “Forward, Russia!” took place, where Nikolai acted as a director and one of the authors of the song. In the same year, the song "Summer, Summer" entered the rotation of Radio Metro and the Police Wave.

Childhood and family of Nikolai Timofeev
Nikolai was born in the city of Ivanovo. The parents of the future musician and composer were not people creative professions. My father worked at a factory, was a process engineer, and my mother worked as a lawyer.The singer recalls that early childhood the concert of Alla Pugacheva, which he attended with his parents, made the greatest impression on him. The boy remembered the event as joyful and festive, and this despite the fact that he was only four years old.
Everything that was connected with music captivated little Kolya. His parents enrolled him in the city dance group "Smile". Soon he began to attend circles and various sections. At the age of six, the boy went to the first grade of a comprehensive school and the first grade of a music school, where he studied piano. The most painful thing for him was the subject of solfeggio. This was the reason that a year later Nikolai persuaded his parents to allow him to leave the music school.
Near the Timofeevs' house there was a sports school with an athletics section. Working close to home was extremely convenient. Nikolai ran long and short distances, jumped long and high. He probably stayed there the longest. The coach was demanding, often young athletes went to competitions.
Nikolai was an active child. He participated in reading contests, was often a participant in social events, played hockey, football, karting, studied to be a projectionist.
The favorite school subjects of the future artist were: singing, works, physical education, drawing, history, geography, English language and literature. Timofeev did not like exact objects.
The first discos of Nikolai Timofeev

He needed them for holding discos, in addition, he made recordings from the records on his tape recorder. Favorite music programs the teenager were "Morning Mail", "Melodies and Rhythms of Foreign Variety", "Peter`s pop-show".
Nikolai not only went in for sports, he also attended classes in the musical group "A + B". Going to summer camp, Timofeev met Lesha Ryzhov there. They had a lot in common, including a passion for modern music. Together, the teenagers held many discos in the camp, thanks to which Lyosha and Nikolai became extremely popular among their peers. It was in the camp, performing other people's songs on stage, that the guys realized that music was their vocation, at the same time they felt the taste of glory, albeit in a separate children's camp.

After school, Nikolai became a student at the Energy University. Ryzhov also studied there. Together, they organized their first musical group, which they called "Fire Extinguisher".

When the lights suddenly went out and panic began, the young people, not at a loss, announced that no one should worry, since the Disco Crash was with them. The young musicians liked this spontaneous name so much that they decided to continue calling themselves by this name.
In 1992, Oleg Zhukov joined the duet of Timofeev and Ryzhov. Four years later, after the band released their debut album "Dance with me", Alexey Serov also came to them. Zhukov and Serov were the main vocalists. In the seven numbered albums released, Timofeev's singing is heard only in a few songs.
Soon Nikolai began to write songs, but none of his works was included in the repertoire of the musical group.

The musician, expelled from the Disco Crash group, admitted that he was thinking of turning to the bandits
The news that the brightest soloist, Nikolai Timofeev, no longer sings at the Disco Crash, shocked all the fans of the band. The press service announced: they say, TIMOFEEV voluntarily left the group, as he decided to embark on a solo voyage. And now there are only two soloists in it - Alexei SEROV and Alexei RYZHOV. This was followed by a loud statement by Nikolai himself: “I was forced to do it!” However, Timofeev did not provide details of the conflict. He made an exception only for Express Gazeta.
Did you think this would be the end of it? And what happened anyway?
When "Accident" first appeared, we had a producer Petr Volkov. He said: "Boys, you will have different images." I got an image romantic hero. I was a little ahead of the stage. Everyone agreed with this at first, playing their parts. But since 2003 - 2004, this has become irritating for them. At first they were just jokes. For example, after a concert, fans are standing by the dressing room and yelling: “Kolya! Kolya!" And the guys take and mimic - at first I thought they were joking like that. It turned out - no.
If earlier, when they worked in tandem with Alexey Ryzhov, my wishes were taken into account musically, then at some stage Alexei got tired of being told: either I, or Serov, then ... We have one more member in the group - Denis. We grew up in Ivanovo in the same yard, we were like brothers, I fought for him at school. And now he started lying to me. It turned out that friendship is no more.
How were you informed that you were no longer with the band?
There was no conversation. They just sent me an SMS. I tried to talk to Ryzhov, since we have been friends with him since the age of 14. We had extensive SMS-correspondence. And by mail. But at some point I realized that I was put in Spam.
Saved a life
- Tell me honestly, you did not share the money?
When we were still living in Ivanovo, I had the biggest fee. Everyone agreed with this. But one day I realized that the guys were offended by me. And I offered to cut the fees equally. Not counting the copyright of Ryzhov himself - he wrote all the songs. Therefore, the talk that we had a fight over money is not true. Now Ryzhov and Serov united against me. And I, in general, organized everything, and it was I who hired Serov at one time.
And once I saved his life. Once I was driving from a performance - there were a lot of girls in the car, we were going out of town. Outside the window frost 40 degrees. I saw: on the side of the road lies a dude in a snowdrift. They could have passed by, but I still stopped, you never know ... I pick him up by the scruff of the neck, and this is Serov! None at all. Another 20 minutes - and he would really freeze. I pulled Lekha drunk out of a snowdrift, dragged him into the car, and brought him home. After that, Serov said hundreds of times that he owed me everything. And now betrayed. It's a shame. Then I found out that he drew up documents according to which I have no right to anything in the group. I hired lawyers who deal with this. But Serov is also a lawyer by training, he keeps a large law office in Ivanovo. Due to my kindness, stupidity, naivety and ignorance of the laws, I lost time. I was all in creativity, I was not interested in pieces of paper, sometimes I did not know what I was signing. I trusted him very much. It turns out, in vain.
- Have you seen that a new soloist has already appeared in the group?
Yes, this is our backing vocalist - Roma. He was taken to help me, because during the period of a busy schedule, my voice could not stand it, I had two operations on the ligaments - they removed the nodes. He is a strange person. There was a case - we perform in a club. And he suddenly swears from the stage. The dude has no respect for the band at all. On the New Wave, he sang the part for me in a song that we just recently recorded.
We will resolve this issue with lawyers. It is absolutely certain that I can legally sing these songs as well, at least my solo songs. And I can also be called "Disco "Accident".
- And suddenly you reconcile? Ready to return to the group?
Well, we're adults. From the last conversation with Ryzhov, I understood: he believes that the team is “playing out”. Ryzhov himself is not interested in all this. He hasn't created anything for a long time. What to trade if there are no new products?
- Have you ever tried to talk heart to heart?
Tried... We were sitting in a restaurant, Serov said such things, for which I really had a desire to take a chair and beat him. He held back with all his might. I understood that if I took a chair and hit it, I would simply kill him.
I had a case in the past - had an argument with one dude. He told me: “I will kill you!” I got scared and hit it myself - “turned off” it. And he couldn’t stop anymore, he beat, he beat ... until he saw that my hands were covered in blood up to the elbow. Thank God, he came to his senses, the man survived. And now it could happen, once Serov saved his life, and now he took it away.
- What are you going to do?
I'm going to rest. Place not chosen yet.
- Maybe in India? They say there are places where you rethink your life.
No, I won't go there, I can't come back from there. ( laughing.) I'm used to a normal five-star holiday. I'll take a break and start writing songs.
Laughed at the misfortune of a friend
- What kind of injury did you have last year when you walked on crutches?
I did not calculate the strength in football, I thought that I was 19 years old. Torn ligaments. But, realizing that I would cause problems for the guys, I did not cancel the concerts. I performed on crutches, but what to do? Then there was the first signal that my friends were not interested in me. I was in the hospital after the operation and did not receive a single SMS. For me it's wild. I remember a story when a few years ago Serov had a severe injury: a bandit disguised as a policeman shot him in the head with a traumatic gun. Alexei was on the verge of life and death, lost his memory. I didn't speak for a very long time. They opened his skull. And at that moment we were in a quarrel with him ... And, by the way, monstrously, but one of the suspected "customers" of the crime was me - I went to interrogations, talked with the police ... As soon as I found out what had happened, I came to Serov in cherry hospital.
It got wild. On tour I'm on crutches. And none of the guys even wants to help me drag my suitcase up the stairs. In Yaroslavl, after the concert, leaving the stage, I slipped. He fell on his injured leg, which was being operated on. And what did I hear? “Ha ha ha! Serov says to my girlfriend. - Go, yours fell there!
- There are already legends about your women ... How many families and children do you have there?
Of course, not everyone has their first marriages. And there are eight children for three.
- Do you have two?
I will not answer this question. Nobody knows this information! I’ll be old, wrinkled, useless to anyone, then I’ll hit my memories.
- In the 90s, did you have your own "roof"?
Of course, like all artists, there were strong guys behind them. They are still alive and well. Maybe I'll meet them, tell them that I have problems!
- You walked and drank then, I feel like it should. Did you have any health problems?
Well, everything is written on our faces. ( laughing.) Look at me, Ryzhov, Serov. They say that after 40, all the sores begin to crawl out of the peasants. We are approaching this age - let's see what comes out of someone!
Room for sex pleasures
Much has been written about the legendary sex orgies of Disco Crash. How did you take the girls to your hotels by bus. And that you had some kind of room for sex pleasures with female fans.
It was business. They drove. And there was a room! When we lived in Ivanovo, in the club where we performed, there was a service room, where all our fans were eager. So what? We guys were young and single. To be honest, I did not count the number of my sex partners at that time. A hundred, I think, was exactly.
- Did you bring venereal diseases from the tour, except for flowers and gifts?
Even if it was, I won't admit it. However, we are cunning guys - we protected ourselves, mindful of different stories with illegitimate children.
- Wasn't there a single piquant case?
Anything happened! And our girls were threatened with pouring acid on their faces. And they wrote to us about supposedly born children, and came - even to my mother-in-law. One incident stood out to me in particular. I had a cat at home that was constantly giving birth. And I gave kittens to my fans. And then one girl wrote me a letter that she wants to take a kitten and dreams that I would come to visit her. I'm a good guy, I've arrived. Photographed for memory with her, with her mother, with a kitten. Well, that's it, I left. And then letters began to come from her to the newspapers.
She wrote that she lived with me, presented a photo, called herself my secret wife. I didn't react. Then I was told that the cat, which I gave her, she threw out of the window in a fit of rage.- Surely gay men, who are a dime a dozen in show business, also showed interest in you?
When I performed in a club for the first time in Moscow, I saw men dressed as women there. It was called a drag show. I, a provincial kid, just went nuts! Here it is, I think, Kolya, as it happens. Then a man came up to me, knelt down and said: “You are beautiful!” I stood like a fool, and did not understand: what does he want? Thank God, the entire gay community has long known that I'm straight. Recently, we performed at a corporate party in front of very cool people - it’s scary to pronounce the names out loud. And now I see how one of them, a very influential bump, looking at Serov on stage, just puts his hand in his pants and under the table begins to masturbate without embarrassment. It’s from such things that I am shocked every time, although over the years in show business I have seen everything.

The charming romantic and frontman of the Disco Crash group has practically ceased to appear on the screens, and only the most devoted fans know about his work. Today you will learn the success story of a popular band, and why Nikolai Timofeev is now trying to build a solo career.
Start
Music entered the life of Nikolai Timofeev at an early age. Together with his parents, he attended the concert of Alla Pugacheva, and the sight he saw made an indelible impression on the four-year-old boy. Father and mother were far from creativity, but even then the son made his choice - his life will certainly be connected with this art. City dance ensemble, circles, School of Music- Since childhood, he immersed himself in music, leaving time for study and sports. Diversified and addicted, he simply had to become a star.
As a teenager, he went to a pioneer camp for the summer, where he made a significant acquaintance with Alexei Ryzhov. The fussy and emotional boy was also fond of music, and the guys quickly became friends. At one point, they become the stars of the camp and hold discos. Nikolai Timofeev and his new friend decide not to lose contact with the end of the holidays. Since that summer, they no longer parted, and even entered together. There they organized the first group called "Fire Extinguisher". In 1988, the guys became interested, and soon they were already running their own show on the radio. Along the way, they led discos in Ivanovo, where they played their covers and remixes for famous songs. Club "Avaria" became their main place of work and gave them a sonorous name for a musical group.
Success
In 1992, a charming actor joins friends and became the link that brought fame to the guys. It was impossible not to notice such a cheerful and big guy. The group becomes popular in Ivanovo and neighboring regions. They release their first album (there is practically no singing by Nikolai Timofeev), and they join the band. With this line-up, they go to Moscow and offer their songs to various record companies. In the first national hit appears - "New Year's". In the wake of the first popularity, the guys record the album "Maniacs" and become the best dance group. Prizes and awards are pouring in from all sides, but already in 2002 the group stops its activities for a while - Oleg Zhukov dies after an illness.
Threesome
In memory of a friend, the guys do not take a fourth member. Their popularity reaches its peak in 2004. Each song becomes a hit, but the guys are not going to stop. For several years in a row they were recognized as the "Best Dance Group", awarded awards for " best song of the year”, and in 2007, the prize for the “Best duet of the year”. The composition "Malinka", recorded with Zhanna Friske, stayed at the top of all the charts for a long time.
Decay
By 2012, the guys were exhausted. Not so many songs were released, and conflicts began in the group. Nikolai Timofeev leaves the group, and endless courts and lawsuits begin. The frontman himself has repeatedly stated that he did not leave of his own free will - he was forced to. The court decided to leave Ryzhov and Serov the right to use the name of the group and the entire repertoire. Although Nikolai wrote songs, they did not fit and did not get into the repertoire. 22 years of fruitful creativity are over. Timofeev went to build a solo career, and the guys took him to the group new soloist. But starting everything from scratch alone was not so easy, and now Nikolai is almost unheard of, and Disco Crash continues to produce good songs and shoot videos.
