on Bali. Beginners should not go there: there are reefs nearby! At the height of the shooting, rescuers reported: a swell - a large wave - was heading towards us. The group was in a hurry. Only one frame was missing - how the hero stands up to his full height on the board. It was possible, of course, to do without him, but Danila always strives for the ideal. We waited for a favorable moment - a small wave. And finally Danila went to sea. Suddenly, a small wave rose and turned into a three-meter wave. In this case, the surfer must dive under it on the board. But, finding himself on the crest of a wave, Danila continued to work - and got to his feet! The film crew was speechless with horror as they saw him almost instantly blown off the board and spun around. "I feel like I'm in a
washing machine drum during spin cycle! - says Kozlovsky. “And the next wave also threw the T-shirt over my face!” More and more waves began to nail the actor to the reefs. He gathered his strength and rowed to the shore - and then he saw a drowning guy, almost unconscious. Risking his life, Danila swam to him and picked him up on his surfboard. So he and the tourist, who had miscalculated their strength, held out until the boat arrived. “The Australian rescuers, pulling us out of the water, said: “Crazy Russian!” – Danila laughs. “I answered them: “I want it again!”

Modern domestic show business is a special and in some way separated from the rest of civilization world, in which slightly different people live, with their own worries, affairs and quirks. Russian performers are in most cases persons, albeit without a world name, but quite famous in the vastness of their land and within their native state, and perhaps within the neighboring countries too. This article will tell you about popular and in-demand Russian performers over the last decade.
First echelon
So, let's start, Russian performers will be described below. The list is opened by old-timers of the national stage. Leonid Agutin, Nikolai Baskov, Oleg Gazmanov, Valery Leontyev, Alexander Rosenbaum, singer Slava, Lolita, the groups “Para Normalnykh”, “Mumiy Troll” were quite popular at the beginning of the 2000s and were famous for their armies of devoted fans, but with the onset of the second decade of the century they the fame has faded a little. Today these artists can only be seen at the most traditional concerts and musical evenings. The same cannot be said about Philip Kirkorov, Valery Meladze, singers Natalie and Anita Tsoi, and the groups “Zveri” and “Splin”. These artists are in demand and loved by audiences even today. Their concerts still attract millions of fans. And all this despite the fact that they also have the right to call themselves “old-timers of the stage.”
The youth
Russian performers are also representatives of a new generation. Their popularity today is at its peak, their discs are selling faster than others, their tours are scheduled for five to seven years in advance. There are a lot of young Russian pop singers. Their list includes several hundred names and pseudonyms, the most famous are Dima Bilan, Sergey Lazarev, rapper Timati, his protégé - Yegor Creed, Andrey Grizzly, Alexey Vorobyov, Dan Balan, Dominic Joker, Irakli, Max Korzh, Denis Maidanov, Tamerlan, Vyacheslav Basyul, Ani Lorak, Ivan Dorn, Nyusha, Pelageya, Yulia Savicheva, Anna Sedakova, Vera Brezhneva, Tati, Elena Temnikova, Polina Gagarina, Elvira T, Maxim, Loya, Svetlana Loboda, Stas Kostyushkin, Noise MC, Yuliana Karaulova, "Pizza" ", "Silver", M-Band, "23:45", "Banderos", "30.02", Quest Pistols, "Degrees", quartet "Heroes", "China", trio "VIA GRA" and many others.
Voice
Russian performers today also come from many popular television shows. The project with the highest ratings on domestic television is the show “The Voice”. This platform has produced wonderful singers such as Gela Guralia, Elina Chaga, Nargiz Zakirova and many others.
Russian show business is replenishing and Victoria Petrik can be called a prominent representative of this separate group of the domestic stage. The girl is the winner of the world famous Children's New Wave festival. This is certainly a worthy replacement for the old-timers of Russian show business. Now you know which Russian performers are most in demand at the moment.
Man cannot live without music, his structure is so strange. Music and songs are always in our heads and souls throughout life. Who in Russia contributes to what we hear and what we listen to? Let's talk about “women who sing...”.
The youngest singers
The Russian stage today is “staffed”, and new young stars appear on it less and less often. Although, it is worth noting that our singers look so good on stage and screens that it is difficult to guess their age.
But just a couple of years ago, very young singers attacked the music charts. Largely thanks to the “Star Factory,” girls who were far from even reaching adulthood began to appear more and more often at concerts and on the radio. The Forge of Stars gave the stage Yulia Savicheva, Victoria Daineko, Polina Gagarina and many other beautiful and talented singers. Today these girls have already achieved a lot: they have their own albums, awards, participation in the most prestigious competitions and charts. But, alas, age takes its toll, and they no longer make it into the top three of the “Youngest Singers of Russia 2015” rating.
Of course, it is indecent to find out and announce a woman’s age, so let’s talk only about three representatives of the fair sex with good vocal abilities. One can still not hide the age of these singers, but, on the contrary, be proud that the girls became famous at their age:
3. Yulia Parshuta (former member of the Yin-Yang group), a native of the resort city of Sochi. This year she turned 27 years old.
2. Nyusha (Anna Vladimirovna Shurochkina), place of birth in Moscow, will celebrate her 25th birthday in August of this year.
3. Nyuta Ranetka (Anna Dmitrievna Baidavletova) comes from Stavropol. This November, the talented and cheerful girl will turn 23 years old.
Honored and beloved singers of Russia
Everything comes and goes, but art and music live forever. Just as music, songs and singers whom we have known and loved for a very long time live in our hearts. For many, they evoke warm memories of childhood, carefree youth or blossoming youth. Their songs are stories of love, sadness, joy and destinies.
Folk singers of Russia represent entire eras both in the country’s musical chronicle and in the life of almost every citizen. There may be plenty of merits, awards and victories in various tops, but not everyone is awarded the title “People’s Artist of Russia (RSFSR, USSR)”.
1. Pugacheva A. B. received this title in 1985, 1980 and 1991.
2. Rotaru S.M. - in 1988
3. Allegrova I. A. - in 2010
4. Zykina L.G. - in 1973
5. Tolkunova V. V - in 1987
The most persistent
Musical preferences change with each new generation. Once upon a time they loved romances, then rock and roll, pop music, chanson, rap, and so on ad infinitum. It is very difficult to always be on the crest of a musical wave. But there are Russian singers whom we have known for a very long time, they grow creatively and change before the eyes of their beloved listeners.
Valeria recorded her first album in 1992. By the way, several years ago she received the title “People’s Artist”. To date, the singer has 15 albums (56 singles).
Angelika Varum released her first album in 1991; to date, 13 albums have been released.
Kristina Orbakaite released her first album in 1994, since then more than 150 songs and 10 albums have been released. Christina also participates in musicals, theater productions and films.
Of course, these are not all Russian singers who have been delighting listeners with their singles for a long time. These are just three leaders who were popular at the beginning of their career ladder and are not losing ground to this day.
The most popular singers
In music circles, various ratings are often compiled. Every music program, radio station, television channel, print publication and Internet site considers it its duty to compile a list of the most popular musicians.
So, today the popular singers of Russia are the following representatives of the music world:
Ani Lorak;
Elena Vaenga;
Polina Gagarina;
Anna Netrebko;
Vera Brezhneva;
The most scandalous singers
Russian singers do not earn their popularity through singles alone. Often, information from their personal lives leaks to the press at the suggestion of the artists themselves. So that the listener does not forget about the artist, even when he is on sabbatical, you need to make sure that they talk about him. So the stars resort to various tricks in order to raise at least a little hype around their name.
Nyusha's outfits always cause interest and long discussions. Fashion critics and reporters attend her concerts with curiosity to express their opinions about the scandalous and revealing costumes.
From her first years on the stage, Masha Rasputina was famous for her spectacular introductions. Her appearance on stage and in the hall attracted the attention of television viewers, who watched the eccentric singer with surprise and a grin.
The viewer did not know what could be seen when Lolita Milyavskaya sings on stage. She always brought sparkle to the concert program.
The plastic surgery of singer Sasha Project also became a scandalous topic.
The press brings the illness stories of artists to fans with lightning speed. Not so long ago, everyone was worried about Zhanna Friske and horrified by how the fate of Tamara Miansarova turned out.
