1 place. Vera Brezhneva

The 32-year-old singer and actress is a master at... counting. She grew up in a family where every penny was saved, and with early years went to earn money - traded at the market tomato paste and pasta. “When guys I knew passed by, of course, it was awkward,” Vera recalled. “But I tried not to pay attention to the sidelong glances and grins. I knew that I needed to help mom and dad.” It was then that she learned to count quickly and clearly for the rest of her life, and after school she went to study to become an accountant. I didn’t graduate from university, but knowledge of accounting still helps. Vera associates a lot with numbers, remembers almost all the dates of significant events in her life, phone numbers, car numbers, etc. The singer helps the sisters keep financial records in their clothing store The Box in Kyiv. And she controls her own budget charitable foundation"Ray of Faith"

2nd place. Yulia Lipnitskaya

After the Olympics, many fans filled 16-year-old Yulia Lipnitskaya with poetry. “Entire collections were dedicated to her, and she, of course, was very touched,” the champion’s mother Daniela shared with StarHit over the phone. – We read everything with gratitude. Previously, Yulia was not interested in poetry, but now she has become involved. For example, I discovered the “rebellious” poems of Daria Sklyarova...”

Everyday training leaves the athlete almost no free time. She has no time to hang out with her friends or ride horses, and Yulia loves horse riding. But she still manages to read. As the mother says, her daughter recently discovered Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita” - she liked it!

3rd place. Olga Buzova

Somehow, out of curiosity, Olga “tried on” new images - Marilyn Monroe, Christina Aguilera. The experience was successful, but she admitted on social networks: “I like being myself more.” With every action, the 28-year-old TV presenter breaks stereotypes about blondes. It is no coincidence that she topped the rating of show business stars with the highest IQ on one of the Internet portals. She has no problems with ideas on how to make money: she came up with the clothing brand C&C by Olga Buzova and opened a jewelry store. From a participant in “House-2”, as she dreamed, she grew into a presenter. And she became the editor-in-chief of the magazine.

4th place. Ksenia Borodina

Looking at 31-year-old Ksenia Borodina, I can’t believe that just five years ago, after the birth of her daughter Marusya, the young mother and aspiring TV presenter was terribly complex about excess weight. I didn’t trust anyone to fix the situation – I sorted it out myself. As a result, the book “Losing Weight with Ksenia Borodina” appeared, where she openly admitted her own mistakes. Today Ksenia is preparing to publish another book about how to become beautiful. “I decided to talk about ways to quickly get yourself in order,” Ksenia shares with StarHit. “There is also a set of sports exercises that I developed myself.” Since the TV presenter tested each recommendation on herself, it’s worth a try.

5th place. Alsou

In 2006, after the birth of her first daughter Safina, the singer became interested in painting. “I’m good at portraits,” 31-year-old Alsou admits to StarHit. “You manage to capture something important in a person—the look, the eyes.” Back at school, I wrote an excellent exam paper about portraits in different techniques- from ink to oil." Today there are already so many works that she dreams of her own exhibition, which will include both a self-portrait and a portrait of her father. In the spring of 2012, the star put up a portrait of Vladimir Vysotsky for auction; it was bought for $16 thousand. Alsou donated all the proceeds to help hospitals and boarding schools.

6th place. Ani Lorak

When her husband opens another restaurant in Kyiv, 35-year-old Ani Lorak often participates in interior design and menu selection. “The restaurant business needs a creative approach no less than the stage. There are no trifles,” the singer is sure. Neither tours nor rehearsals prevent the star from discussing ideas with her husband. Not long ago, Murat opened his fourth restaurant in the city center - Famous karaoke. From the very first day, many stars – good friends of Anya – loved to relax there. And when the idea came to her to decorate one wall with chic black and white portraits famous guests of the restaurant, no one objected; on the contrary, they posed with pleasure.

7th place. Albina Dzhanabaeva

“Albina, will you really work for us?” – they asked the soloist “ VIA Gra» high school students from one of the capital’s schools. But the singer simply did an internship with them as a student at the Faculty of Psychology of the Moscow City Psychological and Pedagogical University. Led for a month
classes for junior classes, testing for seniors... Attendance was one hundred percent! In February 2014, 34-year-old Dzhanabaeva received her diploma. She decided spontaneously to become a psychologist. IN last years she was offered roles of heroes with complex characters in cinema and theater. And she managed to cope with them, because now the psychology of people has ceased to be a mystery to her.

8th place. Tatiana Navka

Travel around eastern countries inspired the 39-year-old figure skater to create perfume. She began purchasing essential oils, combining them, achieving unique shades. The highlight of her fragrances is udu tree oil: a powerful aphrodisiac, which must be handled delicately so as not to overdo it. Several options have already been successful, it’s time to open a perfume store. This is what Tatyana is all about: no matter what she does, she will not back down until
will not become a champion, as in figure skating. And recently, together with designer Anastasia Gollandtseva and friend Lyudmila Mitvol, she released a collection jewelry Sweet Stuff made of silver and semi-precious stones. The works resemble multi-colored candies, are made in Hong Kong, and in Moscow stores cost from 8 thousand rubles.

9th place. Ekaterina Klimova

There are few days off in the schedule of 36-year-old Ekaterina Klimova. Now the actress is starring in two projects at once - “Mistresses” and “Plague”. She recently divorced her husband, actor Igor Petrenko. Three children remained with her. Thank you, mom and nannies help. But Katya, as soon as filming ends, flies home - and stops rushing beyond the threshold. Together with 12-year-old Lisa, 7-year-old Matvey and 5-year-old Korney, he watches a movie, discusses the actions of the heroes, asks his sons how they studied English and karate. “We have complete harmony at home,” the actress assures.

10th place. Ksenia Sobchak

Having entered the “TOP Beauties of Moscow 2013”, Ksenia was amazed: “What a blatant lie!” The 32-year-old TV presenter prefers to be described as a “stylish and modern personality,” as she was recently called in New York Times, appreciating Ksenia’s look at Paris Fashion Week. Sobchak posts on social networks both fashionable “looks” and examples of the terrible bad taste of some ladies. And he personally conducts fashion master classes, where he gives practical advice.

11th place. Kristina Orbakaite

The singer has been drawing sold-out crowds all over Russia for many years, but given her star status, she is very easy to communicate with and can find mutual language with anyone. One day, 43-year-old Christina and the musicians hit the road by bus. They were in a hurry for a sound check, exceeded the speed limit and were stopped by the traffic police. The singer’s director began to persuade the inspectors: “Please let me go, we’re taking Kristina Orbakaite.” They responded: “Come on, lie, we just saw her on TV!” And then Christina appeared from the depths of the salon: “Hello, what happened?” The law enforcement officers froze in admiration. Then they asked for autographs, took photos with the singer as a souvenir and wished them a good trip.

12th place. Adeline Sotnikova

After winning the Olympics, figure skater Adelina Sotnikova is called “Legend at 17.” After all, at this age she became the first Olympic champion in women's single skating in Russian history. Adeline has been considered a child prodigy since childhood. At the age of 13 she succeeded the most complex elements which not every adult can do. Sotnikova devotes her free time to cinema. Recently, on the advice of my mother Olga Dmitrievna and coach Elena Buyanova, I watched the films “Champions” and “Legend No. 17”. “It seems to me that coaches should feel students exactly the same way as Anatoly Tarasov - Valeria Kharlamova,” Adelina admired after “Legend...”. – And like Elena Germanovna – me. Before the Olympics, Tatyana Anatolyevna Tarasova also advised me. Now I understand who she is like – her father!”

13th place. Anna Sedokova

The singer is imitated by thousands of fans. To teach them how to dress just as stylishly, the 31-year-old artist launched her own casual fashion line, La story, last year. Particularly popular is a sweatshirt with a large acid-colored heart and the inscription “Love -
this is all. Everything is love." Colleagues and friends support Anna: for example, Vera Brezhneva took part in a new photo shoot. Having gained a taste for it, Sedokova recently shared on social networks: “I began to develop a children’s clothing line that will be an absolute mini-copy of my adult collection.”

14th place. Polina Gagarina

Driving around Moscow in a snow-white Range Rover Evoque, Polina, a driver with 10 years of experience, nostalgically recalls the first car she drove at 18, a tiny Volkswagen Lupo: “I always liked the way I looked in it.” Five years later, she gave herself a Nissan Qashqai for her 23rd birthday – and happily showed off the spacious trunk, which contained a gym bag, dry cleaning, spare shoes, her son’s child seat, a soft airplane horseshoe pillow, a bath towel, and a volume of Omar’s poems. Khayyama... Not a car, but a second home.

15th place. Christine Asmus

The 26-year-old actress easily got used to the role of a married lady, housewife and mother: on January 5, she and Garik Kharlamov had a daughter, Anastasia.

But the wife tirelessly looks for something interesting. He often appears on online culinary forums, posting photographs of custard pancakes or delicious samosas that he prepares at home. She wouldn’t mind watching football on TV either with her husband or even without him.

16th place. Sasha Savelyeva

Two years ago, the singer started skiing. In January 2012, my husband, Kirill Safonov, suddenly suggested spending a vacation at a resort in Salzburg.
Sasha got used to trusting her husband: “I’m the kind of person who needs to follow someone, learn something new...” So he persuaded her to try. In Austria, having put on a ski suit and tried on boots with bindings, Sasha rolled down the shallowest hill - and was delighted: “Really cool!” It turned out that this sport burns extra calories much better than fitness.

17th place. Svetlana Hodchenkova

Svetlana is the only one Russian actress, who managed to break into Hollywood and loudly declare herself. It all started in 2011 with the thriller “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy!” with Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy. Khodchenkova had an episode, but participation in such a high-profile project made her one of the most
the country's highest-paid actresses with a fee per day of filming of $4 thousand. By 2013, the figure had grown to $5 thousand before the actress starred
in the fantasy action film “Wolverine: Immortal” with Hugh Jackman and played one of the main roles – a female viper.

18th place. Natalie

The singer of the hits “The Wind Blew from the Sea” and “Oh God, What a Man” admits: “I don’t work out in the gym, I feel sad in the company of iron.” She
I realized a long time ago that cleaning an apartment helps a woman stay in shape much better than exercise equipment. Especially if you wash the floor, crawling with a rag in all corners. Or you rub the windows, trying to reach the window - every muscle works. “Four years ago, when I was expecting the birth of my second son, a neighbor found me mopping the floors in the entrance and was dumbfounded: “Natasha, you’re an artist, and you’re also pregnant, what are you doing!” – the 40-year-old singer shared with StarHit. – And I had such a strange toxicosis, in which I liked the smell of wet cement! Nothing is
I couldn’t help it.”

Despite this, “Dancing” inspired her so much that the artist still does not give up her classes and goes to the gym at every opportunity. “After winning the show, in addition to slow dancing, I have a weakness for Latin Americans,” the 31-year-old actress tells StarHit. Anna still spends every evening on favorite hobby from an hour to two. Such a pastime helps her not only stay fit and toned, but also maintain a good mood.

20th place. Elena Podkaminskaya

The 35-year-old star of the series “Kitchen” loves experiments. Not only will she not refuse, for example, a nude photo shoot, but she will also come up with a lot herself

By the way, the first people she showed the photographs to were the actress’s parents - the strictest judges. They liked it.

21st place. Elizaveta Boyarskaya

The actress was very worried when she was asked to organize “Art Surf” - the first creative evening in her life with the reading of poetry, of which 28-year-old Lisa knows a great many.

And, as Oksana now likes to say, “by faith it will be given.” In the spring of 2012, a son, Fedor, was born, and in the summer of 2013, a daughter, Lisa. “Only when I became a mother did I gain self-confidence,” admits Oksana.

23rd place. Ekaterina Guseva

Admired by the musical “Nord-Ost,” the polar explorers invited Ekaterina, the performer of one of the main roles, to the North Pole for a visit. 2002, at the Pole - 43°C, even a jumpsuit with eider down did not save me from the cold and wind. But, having hoisted a flag with the autographs of the troupe actors next to the station, Katya began to sing a song from the play: “Captains of our own destiny, it is the trumpet signal that calls us...” “How can one not sing if the soul asks!” – the 38-year-old actress later shared.

25th place. Angelica Agurbash

The singer only looks fragile and defenseless, but in fact she has been seriously engaged in boxing for 10 years! Interest in this sport appeared shortly after the birth of her third child, son Anastas. Angelica then gained extra pounds, and boxing allowed her to quickly lose them and pump up her arms and abs. The 44-year-old singer now finds time to “grind the pear.” It keeps you in great shape and relieves stress. “I definitely don’t need a bodyguard,” the singer shared with StarHit. “I can completely take care of myself!”

Nobody in the world knows Soviet and Russian pop musicians. Especially in the West. Nevertheless, musicians from Russia entered the Western charts at different times.

All attempts to promote and impose our popular music on the Western public have failed. Russian pop music is very secondary and backward - both technologically and stylistically.

But it has already become a good tradition to tell the Russian public lies about the successes of certain performers in the West. It's getting really funny.

Kirkorov traveled to Monte Carlo for The World The Music Awards are a show of the best-selling performers in their countries, but it is quite difficult to find a person in Russia who has Kirkorov’s album. Pugacheva, as you know, in 1997 took only 15 place out of 25 at the useless Eurovision.

For some reason, Sergei Lazarev sings in English, something the human brain simply cannot handle. Joseph Prigogine, who became an obsession with pushing Valeria to the West, once said in a paid article in a British newspaper that his wife had sold 100 million albums in Russia.

The rapper Timati had the biggest success when the Swiss DJ Antoine remixed Timati's song Welcome to St. Tropez. The song topped the charts all over the world, except for the UK and the US. In Switzerland, the song took sixth place at the end of the year. This is our peak pop singers behind Lately.

Which of our musicians actually achieved high places in the Western (and this, in a musical sense, primarily the USA and Great Britain) charts and is generally more or less known in the West.

1. Composer Aram Khachaturian - 1972

One of the recordings of the music of his ballet “Spartacus” called Spartacus, which Khachaturian made together with the London symphony orchestra, entered the British albums chart in 1972, reached number 16 and stayed there for 15 weeks.

By the way, his music is so popular in the world that it was even used in such famous films as “2001: A Space Odyssey” by Stanley Kubrick, “Aliens” by James Cameron and “Caligula” by Tinto Brass.

2. Boris Grebenshchikov - 1989

His album Radio Silence, released in England and the USA, took 198th place on the Billboard200, despite the fact that it was recorded with the then super-popular group Eurythmics. The video shows BG's performance on David Letterman's popular TV show.

3. Gorky Park-1990

The success of Gorky Park in the USA cannot be exaggerated. They did not conquer America. Just look at their achievements on the charts. On the Billboard Hot 100 they only scored with the single Try To Find Me (81st place and 6 weeks on the chart), and on the Billboard 200 with the album Gorky Park (80th place and 21 weeks on the chart).

But Gorky Park generally sold well - 300 thousand copies sold in America alone - this is a very good result. Much more success the group achieved success in Scandinavia. Gorky Park in Norway reached 9th place, and the single Bang - 5th. In Denmark, the album Moscow Calling It even went platinum.

4. Alsou-2000

With the song Before You Love Me "under Britney Spears" got to 27th place for only a week, during the period when they were trying to promote it in Europe after 2nd place at Eurovision.

5. PPK-2001

The Rostov trance project PPK, with the release of a separate single ResuRection (Eduard Artemyev’s melody from the film “Sibiriyada” by Andrei Konchalovsky with the voice of Yuri Gagarin), debuted in the UK immediately in third place!

The song became the first track from Russia to be in hot rotation on BBC Radio One. ResuRection was then released in other countries, where it also charted successfully - number 5 in the Netherlands, number 9 in Belgium, and number 15 in France and number 36 in Australia.

6. Tattoo-2003

In 2002, the English version of their album “200 in the opposite direction” was released and “Tatu” generally became the most popular Russian group in the world. The girls did not become stars of the first magnitude, and their success was not that long, but they sold about 10 million of their records abroad. This is an unattainable result for Russian performers.

The English-language album now has gold status in four countries and platinum in Europe as a whole, the song “All the Things She Said” occupied the first line of the British chart for several weeks, and a cover of The Smiths was performed in the TV series “Gossip Girl” in 2009.

7. Leonid Agutin - 2007

The author of “Barefoot Boy” and husband of Angelika Varum graduated from the Moscow Jazz School and from his youth was interested not only in pop music, but also in a variety of acoustic guitar music - from jazz to flamenco. In the early 2000s, Agutin began playing concerts, and then recorded the album “Cosmopolitan Life” together with Al di Meola, an American virtuoso of the genre. In Germany the album had more than good sales.

They say that the singer was even offered an international tour - but he refused. Both Gawker and The New York Times.

9. Pussy Riot-2012

This is the only group here that has not been on the Western charts, but it cannot be ignored. From a musical point of view, this is a comical story. The group, whose songs no one had ever really heard anywhere, became the most famous musical group from Russia in recent times. Suffice it to say that in the West the Cathedral of Christ the Savior is known as Pussy Riot Church.

Soon after the arrest of Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alekhina and Ekaterina Samutsevich, musicians around the world began to carry out actions in their support - ranging from Madonna and Paul McCartney to Mike Patton and The Knife and Die Antwoord.

10. Anna Netrebko - 2007 - present

The opera singer was able to achieve real world fame, including the United States. She enjoys particular success in Austria, where she received citizenship. Also lives in New York. Her records are constantly on the charts classical music, but in some countries they also appear on general music charts. Especially in Austria and Germany. Thus, 15 of Netrebko’s albums entered the Austrian chart .

Bonus: The most famous Russian music video in the world

The singer was born in large family, in the Ukrainian village of Marshintsy. Because of the passport officer, who mistakenly wrote August 9 in her passport, Sofia celebrates her birthday twice. He considers his first vocal teacher to be his father, who himself loved to sing and had an absolute musical ear and a beautiful voice.
