"Ice Age", on Saturdays at 21.20

I was born in the Stavropol Territory, but ended up in Karachay-Cherkessia, that is, over time, by decision of the government, this territory came under the jurisdiction of another region. But the people remained as before: kind, sympathetic and cheerful. So, being in Karachay-Cherkessia, I became People's Artist this republic.

I've been singing almost since birth. But she didn't want to be a singer. Following the example of her parents, she was going to become an engineer, just like them, and combine it with singing, like my dad - Zagidulla Shafigullovich Khaziev, half Tatar, half Russian. He was a laureate of the All-Russian and All-Union competitions, a permanent laureate of the Stavropol television, while he constantly worked as deputy director of a low-voltage equipment plant, and then deputy director of the Mayskaya poultry farm. Dad was not considered a professional singer. True, he studied individually at a music school.

He has an extraordinary life. He was born in China, on the border with Russia, in 1937, where the construction of the Manchurian railway. In China, he graduated from high school, knew Chinese well.

My dad, unfortunately, has already died. He told us that there was a period when the Soviet Union sent thousands of specialists and scientists to fraternal China to develop the economy and science in that country, and they taught the Chinese a lot. And then in 1952, relations between China and the Soviet Union deteriorated. The situation on the border was very serious, ready to explode at any moment. There were cases when the Chinese stabbed Russians with pitchforks, threw stones at them ... In a word, it became impossible to live there. And all my relatives who lived in the border zone left - some for Turkey, and some for Germany, America, Australia. Scattered my relatives around different countries. My grandfather knew eight languages ​​and believed that Russian was the richest language, and many languages ​​originated from it, so I decided to go to Russia, namely to Kazakhstan. And now the grandfather with the children: their daughter and son (my dad) came to a new place of residence (grandmother, 37 years old, died in China, by the way, she was a professional singer).

Later, my father left Kazakhstan for the Siberian city of Omsk to get a higher education. He graduated from high school with a gold medal. In Omsk, he met my mother. Dad graduated from the Civil Engineering Institute, and mom became an engineer in the dairy industry. Mom comes from the Caucasus, from the city of Cherkessk, and she invited dad to go to her homeland. My older brother was born in Omsk, and I'm already in Cherkessk.

My first song, as my mother said, I composed when I was visiting my grandmother. A private house, cherry trees near the house, beautiful with thin branches, I circled around them, I was two years old. I just learned to speak then and sang a song: “Motherland, Motherland, you are my beloved, you live on grandmother's street. You, my love, live here always. That is, at that time I already had the concept that the homeland is where a person lives. This is the case. Now I say that small homeland, this is where I was born, and Moscow is already my huge Motherland.

When I went to Kindergarten from a local chemical plant, and that's where my first solo performance took place. Time passed, and only then I was often invited to perform at the factory club. At school - from the first grade she was a soloist in the choir.

As a child, I was a very mobile girl, I loved various active games and, of course, dancing. In addition to numerous activities, she managed to help both parents and grandparents.

Thank God, there are people who understand that the concept of "friendship" is a concept around the clock. I have many friends, fate has spoiled me with this. My most important friend is my concert director Natalia Lanskaya, I can rely on her in every way.

First of all, I want to say that my desire to become a singer was somehow predetermined in my life.

When I was in the 5th grade of a comprehensive school, my parents found an opportunity and bought me a piano, but to finish music school I did not succeed. I went to a vocal group in the Palace children's creativity. This group constantly gave concerts. Of course, I participated in school reviews amateur performances, propaganda teams. The members of the jury were usually teachers from music school, and, thus, they all knew that there was such a Marina, and they gave me not just “five”, but “five plus”.

Soon I was faced with a dilemma: either continue my studies at a comprehensive school or study in some musical specialty. At a decisive moment, I unexpectedly met a music school teacher, Lyudmila Ivanovna Gorodetskaya, she was my first teacher of piano, solfeggio and choral singing.

She told me that I was a musical, talented girl and that I should enter the music school at the conductor-choir department. After some thought, I decided to enter a music school. And how happy I was that I studied at the conductor-choir department!

After graduating from college, I was invited to general education school teach music from 1st to 7th grade. To be honest, I got a useful work experience there. I also raised my professional level, because the workload was great. There were 1,300 students at the school, and I taught music to all of them. She also led vocal groups and, of course, choirs: October, Pioneer, Komsomol. Those. disappeared from school from morning to night. But, of course, the small salary was depressing, and when I was invited as a soloist to the Republican Philharmonic, I immediately agreed.

No, I started working there a little later. But immediately the soloist of the vocal-instrumental ensemble "Kavkaz". Our team toured a lot, especially in their own republic and in our other Caucasian republics. Five years later, I felt a little cramped in such a framework, I wanted more room for creativity, and I created my own vocal and instrumental ensemble. It was played by guys from the Philharmonic and the music school.
It was all at the Philharmonic. There was a rehearsal room there. I had to study in parallel at the Karachay-Cherkess University. She studied, worked at the Philharmonic and sang in a restaurant. The salary of all members of the ensemble is small, so I had to somehow support the guys. I made good money in the restaurant and therefore had the opportunity to help. In short, I was their mother. Life was very busy.

During this period of time, I already performed in Stavropol, Krasnodar region. She repeatedly came to Moscow, concerts were held mainly on the territory of VDNKh. They were organized by the House of Nationalities.

In 2007 she became a People's Artist. Of course, there was a lot of envy, because in such young age getting the highest title for a singer was an exception.

But those who knew closely my work, were entirely in solidarity with the decree of the President of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic.

By that time, she had released five solo albums, now I have eight of them. I did a great job and re-recorded all eight albums.

In Moscow, where I came to conquer new heights, I met the composer Pavel Bekkerman, talented poets who write for us. Yevgeny Minin wrote a lot of songs for me, Victor Gin presented wonderful song verses. By the way, he wrote many songs for the repertoire of Irina Ponarovskaya, and also wrote for Obodzinsky, Serebrennikov, Tolkunova (“Talk to me, mother”, “Scarlet Dawn”). The acquaintance with Rimma Kazakova became very memorable for me. She often invited me to visit her. How many times we sat with her at her house in the kitchen ... She clapped me so gently on the shoulder and said: “Marina - you are a real folk artist!”

Many songs have been written down to poems by Aues Betuganov, Farida Sidakhmetova, Vladislav Artyomov, Marina Pavlova, Elena Evstigneeva and other poets. I am very grateful to all these talented and wonderful people for their support and participation in my work.

I gave solo concerts in Central House writers, the Central House of Scientists, the Central House of Journalists, the Central House of Artists, the House of Nationalities, the Exhibition of Economic Achievements, the Federation of Peace and Accord, and many other places.

I am often invited by various prefectures of Moscow, the Administration of the cities of the Moscow region to speeches dedicated to the celebration of City Day, Victory Day, Youth Day and other holidays. I also continue to give solo concerts. Basically, I'm doing what I love. I also teach singing in college.

The Azerbaijani community of Moscow and the Moscow region invites you to its festive events. Eid al-Adha, Novruz and other holidays. When I perform with them, I have the feeling that I have visited my homeland, I have seen friends. There is a life-affirming mood. I want to work for the joy and happiness of people.

I want to note that Russian listeners like the culture of the Caucasus, melodies and rhythms Caucasian peoples. I try to perform such songs with a Caucasian flavor, but I also add a Russian spirit. I bring in more modernity. Therefore, any audience likes my songs. And most importantly - the text. They have a national flavor, but I sing in Russian without an accent.

When they introduce me at concerts, they note that I sing songs about peace and friendship. It’s not for nothing that I sing: “I tell you salam, my fate, my Russia.” These are very symbolic words. They were written by the Karachay-Circassian poet, public figure, former deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Akbaev Azret Alievich. He is also the author of one of my most famous songs in the Caucasus - "Goryanka". And I also sing a wonderful song about Nalchik, the verses of which were written by the vice-president of the World Artistic Committee (MAC), songwriter Aues Abuevich Betuganov. All these songs were written by them in collaboration with the composer Pavel Bekkerman.

I would like to say a few words about this Committee, which has branches in Russia, the USA, Canada, the Near Abroad and many other countries of the world. The headquarters of the World Artistic Committee is located in Switzerland. The most powerful representation in Russia is the Artistic Committee of the North Caucasus, whose president is Aues Betuganov. I was repeatedly noted by the Committee with various awards. The most significant of them: the highest musical award of the Caucasus "Golden Microphone 2008" and gold medal"for innovation, creativity and success in professional activity and public recognition.

The fact that I am a versatile singer and that I have deep respect for people, regardless of nationality and religion.

What worries? I'm happy. I've been happy since morning. I don't even pay attention to the weather. Think rain! I immediately remember the song: “Nature has no bad weather ...”

You go out into the street, people meet, sad, cheerful, and I am glad that they are healthy, and I want to believe that everything is fine at home. That they have love, prosperity, favorite work, like mine. I'm lucky actually. And it worries that there is no way to realize it to the end. It's hard to achieve the goal that I see. And my goal is immeasurable. I want to improve, not stop there. Sing more diverse songs, because they give an incentive to life.

My main goal is to make people happy. And now I want to sing only about the prosperous, happy love, about peace, friendship. I have a desire to sing a song about our beautiful planet. I would remove these borders around the world. Russia is a separate state, America is a separate one, why is this? I understand that it will be difficult to manage too much space. But how would you put it together?

And love knows no bounds, and music elevates us all. That's why I want more beautiful songs. What I wish for myself, then for you. Health, true friends, ordinary human happiness to everyone. Let the desires not fade away, but the possibilities increase. I wish your publication that the thinking audience increases! Fruitful work for you to unite peoples! With all my heart I wish PEACE IN THE WORLD!

Anastasia Volochkova is increasingly attracting the attention of viewers and admirers of her talent, but sometimes black PR plays a cruel joke on her. Nevertheless, this is one of the most prominent stars of the domestic show business.

Childhood and family

Anastasia Yurievna Volochkova was born in Leningrad on January 20, 1976. Her father, Yuri Fedorovich, was the champion of the USSR and Europe in table tennis, and later became a coach of the State Sports Committee of Russia. Mother Tamara Vladimirovna worked as an engineer, and, according to Anastasia herself, as a tour guide. The ballerina's parents divorced when she was still a child.


At the age of five, little Nastya attended the Nutcracker ballet at the Mariinsky Theater. It was after that that she caught fire with the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bbecoming a ballerina.

All the time that the trial period lasted, one of the teachers, as Volochkova later admitted, poisoned her, and her classmates, on the contrary, felt sorry for her. Fortunately for Nastya, the famous teacher Natalia Dudinskaya noticed her at the school, who supported the young ballerina and helped her achieve high results.

Ballerina career

Volochkova's final exam was the part of Odette-Odile in Swan Lake at the Mariinsky Theater in 1994. The ballerina graduated from the Academy with honors, after which she joined the troupe Mariinsky Theater where she performed until 1998.


For four years in the St. Petersburg theater, Anastasia Volochkova performed the main roles in the classical ballets Giselle, Don Quixote, Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker.
