The singer took part in a big anniversary concert Ukrainian composer Ruslan Kvinta, dedicated to the 20th anniversary of his work. The most came to congratulate the maestro bright stars Ukrainian stage. Rotaru could not stand on her feet after performing the composition" Autumn flowers"The 69-year-old star tripped and fell right on top of the composer who was accompanying her on the piano.

In February of this year, it was reported that the 15-year-old granddaughter of Sofia Rotaru, Sofia Evdokimenko, became the model of the year. The girl has already been on the cover of Ukrainian Elle, and also became the face of the Anna K and Poustovit brands. She was also awarded the title of “Best Model” according to the Mercedes-Benz Kiev Fashion Prize.

icon Soviet stage, which has retained its status practically unchanged at the present time. "Gazeta.Ru" - about the reasons for its success.

If geographically and politically Soviet Union has been dead for a long time,

then in pop culture it continues to exist as if in nothing

happened - in the person of such figures as Edita Piekha, who recently noted

80th anniversary,

In biographical information about Rotaru alone, it seems

the whole history of the country - born in the village of Marshantsy in the Chernivtsi region of Ukraine in a Moldavian family; in the early 90s there was a joke,

that at the negotiations in Belovezhskaya Pushcha the leaders of Russia and Ukraine

We asked ourselves “how are we going to divide Rotaru.”

Her career began to develop at a time when Soviet ideologists finally allowed the flowers of national cultures to flourish.

Seventies

Many believe that Rotaru’s fame began to really accelerate with the musical film “Chervona Ruta” of 1971, in which Rotaru played main role and the name of which was then taken by her

for your ensemble.

In fact, for the title of the runway of her career may

argue and the Festival of Youth and Students held in Bulgaria

three years before - she won there gold medal, performing songs in Ukrainian and Romanian.

And the first success came ten years earlier and consisted of

multiple levels - regional, then republican competitions amateur performances, conducting and choir department of the Chernivtsi Music College, due to the lack of vocal department.

The key to Rotaru’s success was a clear and even in the best sense words a calculated mixture of national and cosmopolitan

repertoires: so, she is from the very beginning creative activity continued collaboration with composer Vladimir Ivasyuk

from Lvov, but at the same time she sang songs by Arno Babajanyan, David Tukhmanov, Yuri Saulsky, Raymond Pauls, Vladimir

Matetsky; texts for them were written by Robert Rozhdestvensky, Andrei Voznesensky and other poets who need no introduction.

And it’s not just that cooperation with high caste

Soviet pop composition and poetry workshop served

pass to the big stage.

Such omnivorousness allowed her to organically weave songs from the Soviet outskirts into different languages into your program and use it skillfully -

at least in a declarative way Soviet authorities to support national cultures.

And thus everyone pleases: both Mosconcert officials and

residents Russian capitals, and to my fellow countrymen on both sides

Ukrainian-Moldovan border.

It’s interesting that the singer, seemingly favored by the authorities, had her share of disgrace in her career.

More precisely, it worked out - in 1975, she had a conflict with the local Chernivtsi regional committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine, in connection with which she and her

The ensemble moved to Yalta.

Nothing definite is known about its causes so far -

Rotaru herself said that she moved to Crimea due to

open asthma. Possible reason was intensified

share of the repertoire in Ukrainian and cooperation with authors

from Western Ukraine.

It is interesting that the shake-up and stress gave new impetus to her career: the singer’s records (first long-players) began to be released by the Melodiya company, and she herself was invited to Munich to record a disc

at the Ariola company. Then she had a large-scale tour of Western and Eastern Europe.

Eighties

The decade of transition from stagnation to perestroika became for her

the peak of her career - it was at this moment that, with the help of radio and television, she became a constant presence in life of the country,

coming to almost every house and sounding from every window.

AND trigger this popularity again, as in the case of

"Chervona Ruta" became a movie - more precisely, two films with her songs

and participation. In 1980, “Where Are You, Love?” was released, a kind of

adaptation of the plot of “Come Tomorrow” to more modern ones

realities.

The picture was quite autobiographical - in it a young girl came to an amateur song competition with a composition

Raymond Pauls, the same name of the film, and left as its main triumph.

The picture turned out to be mega-popular - “Melody” released

a record with songs from the film, and songs based on poems by the best Soviet

the whole country sang poets.

A year later, another picture was released - “Soul”, an autobiographical melodrama about the singer’s loss of her voice and reassessment of values.

The participants of “The Time Machine” starred in the role of musicians.

the songs were written by Andrey Makarevich and Alexander Zatsepin, and

Rotaru’s partner was who was then at the peak of popularity

Mikhail Boyarsky.

The second picture completed the formation of personal mythology

around her, and triumphant tours in Canada - the status

a real export star, in trade terms, suitable for both domestic consumption and export.

However, it seems that it was this stardom and this status that became

the reason for the actual second disgrace - she was prohibited by foreign

tours (for which there were more and more requests).

It got to the point of being funny - representatives of a German concert agency once received a paper in response to an invitation:

“That kind of thing doesn’t work here.”

Nevertheless, Rotaru actively participated in “ Songs of the year»,

continued cooperation with both top Russian-speaking

However, it ended - it was a failure, it must be admitted - it fell into disgrace only with the beginning of perestroika.

A turning point in this sense can be recognized as the beginning of collaboration with Vladimir Matetsky, which entailed (or, conversely, was the reason) for a change in image - instead of a chansonnier with folk roots, Rotaru turned into a disco and

rock vocalist. More precisely, she has been the ideal opponent so far

for rock musicians of the Leningrad Rock Club and the Moscow Rock Laboratory, however, starting with the quite romantic “Lavender”,

Over time, she began to perform fast things - the same ones

by which she is still remembered: “Moon, moon”, “It was, but it’s gone”,

“Only this is not enough.”

The latter was a completely bold experiment - complete

The nostalgic sadness of Arseny Tarkovsky’s poem was turned by Matetsky into a real rock action movie.

They worked together for 15 long years - until the end of those very 90s,

which the honored artists were decisively scrapped, and new ones were nominated in their place.

Nineties - today

Moreover, it is worth noting that Rotaru never became archival

a star - like a generation pop stars generation older

quietly and with dignity retired into teaching and

"Old songs about the main thing."

She, who began her career with the help of her mother, a trader at the collective farm market, had some amazing, as they say

these days, with marketing sense: in some amazing way

at the right moments in time she guessed the situation and the time when she needed to change her image or do something new.

So, for example, it was she who at one time - back in the early 90s -

I noticed a trend among new pop stars to perform with backup dancers

and invited the not-so-famous “Todes” troupe to perform

together with her.

The head of the dance theater, Alla Dukhova, said that these concerts were the first step towards the future fame of the dance troupe.

At the same time, she is not at all characterized by a passion for continuous

renewal and oblivion of the old repertoire - she did not shy away from anniversaries, nostalgic reissues, etc. In 2012-2013 she threw a big anniversary tour, dedicated to the 40th anniversary of creative activity.

Rather, on the contrary - carefully and tightly mixing old hits with new ones, she presented her songs as part of one, never interrupted (and, by and large, not influenced by time) process.

Moreover, it seems that in her case this is not a concept, but a philosophy - because both her biography and her statements indicate that for her this is a way of life.

Another feature of her philosophy remains her political position. Although it would be more correct to say humanitarian - a Kiev resident by registration and a Yalta resident by actual place of residence, in 2004 she distributed food on the Maidan to representatives of both opposing camps.

And later, in the wake of the great entry of Ukrainian musicians into politics, she even tried to run for the Rada from the Lytvyn bloc: after the annexation of Crimea, she did not accept Russian citizenship (according to her, because of registration in Kyiv) and specifically noted that she was a citizen of Ukraine.

At the same time, in fact, she and her songs remain part of the life of divided citizens of a once united country.

Informals of the 80s considered her songs an example of Soviet pop officialdom - but now they sound like the last memory of that utopia of the country’s unity and friendship of peoples, which the Soviet Union at least tried to approach and the final collapse of which we are witnessing now.

And that is why there is a risk that many leaders of the countries sharing this singer will remain small politicians era of Sofia Rotaru.

Sofia Mikhailovna Rotaru turns 70 on August 7, but famous singer clearly doesn't look his age. It seems that she is like a good wine - it only gets better with age.
