Ivan is the lead singer of the group Dragonfly of Love. Bright people - Nikolay Voronov

The youngest son of a teacher at the International University of Nature, Society and Man "Dubna" Nikolai Voronov woke up famous in the wake of the success of the song "White Dragonfly of Love". Nine years ago, this composition blew up all the dance floors of the country, and the cult Solyanka club did not accommodate those who wanted to hear the hit live.

Voronov was invited to appear on a TV show, and the media lined up to interview the young, extravagant musician. But after the legendary song, the author never created new hits. The excitement around him began to subside, and Nikolai himself went into the shadows and began running a YouTube channel.

Now Internet users are seriously puzzled by the mental state of the once famous singer, whose adequacy is in doubt among many. The fact is that Nikolai’s videos contain profanity and seem to demonstrate a challenge to common sense. website We decided to personally find out what was happening to the young performer. In a frank conversation, the musician explained such strange behavior.

“I changed my image because I am not satisfied with the claim to everyone that is made by our so-called stars, who consider themselves superior to ordinary people. Stars do not exist. We have only one principle: “Your genius is not so important as how much you are a career horse." This infuriates me terribly. And then what can we say about Pushkin, about Dostoevsky, who are physically dead? How should we treat them? No radical change in image has occurred. This is just a small change related to the fact that I want to help they are trying to impose a disease on me, but in my person the disease is diagnosed in all of humanity. Someone believed in this and died, but I will not die. I can only be understood correctly if I completely separate myself. from me and considered in a more mass sense, from the position of society as a whole, and not part of it. I never loved myself and was not interested in myself. I love others,” Voronov said.

To finally dispel rumors about the musician’s mental illness, website asked psychotherapist Vitaly Kekukh to give an explanation about Nikolai’s behavior. “I can assume that the problem is the following: either something happened during the pregnancy of Nikolai’s mother, for example, intoxication; or there was an injury during childbirth, asphyxia or a pinched nerve. You know what kind of obstetricians we have - they pulled the head ", they pinched a nerve. These consequences are visible on Kolya’s face. His psyche is fine. And such defiant behavior is compensation for his external physical feature. But he’s done well, he realized in time how to use his shortcomings." – noted the specialist.

According to Voronov’s mother, the young man has been writing music since he was three years old. When he was five, he began studying piano at the Moscow Gnessin Secondary Special Music School. Nikolai held his first concert in Dubna. In 2008, he entered the first year of the composition department of the Moscow State Conservatory named after P.I. Tchaikovsky.

As Nikolai recalls, he took up pop music when his father gave him a synthesizer. The first three songs he composed were called (in chronological order) "I'm Waiting for You", "People Who Are Right Away" and "White Dragonfly of Love". In 2008, the author predicted that "Dragonfly" "will be his hit." And so it happened.

Nikolai Voronov woke up famous in the wake of the success of the song “White Dragonfly of Love,” which blew up all the dance floors more than eight years ago. Once upon a time, the iconic metropolitan club Solyanka was bursting with people who wanted to hear the hit live. Voronov was regularly invited as a guest on various programs, and the media dreamed of getting an interview with him.

Now Nikolai is 26 years old, and only memories remain of his former popularity. After the deafening furor of “White Dragonfly of Love,” the young man never recorded a single composition that would become a hit. Apparently, in an attempt to attract attention, Nikolai decided to actively maintain a channel on YouTube. The videos that Voronov records receive dozens of views - a thousand times less than in 2008.

In addition, the majority of social network users perceive his work negatively and rate his posts with dislikes. The fact is that Voronov presents very strange and ambiguous videos that are very difficult for the average person to understand. Nikolai makes videos while sitting at the computer. At the same time, the young man often exposes his torso, and the annotations to the recordings resemble the works of avant-garde literary figures and are often accompanied by obscene language.

Voronov’s page on the social network VKontakte also shows increased activity. The young man regularly posts several posts in a row, spacing only a couple of minutes apart. Nikolai’s posts are also similar to the works of experimental poets.

“The roof moves slowly and quietly like a surfing mouse,” writes Voronov (Spelling and punctuation are the author’s. – Ed.).

In another publication, the musician plays on the title of Vadim Zeland’s book. Apparently this work made an extremely strong impression on Nikolai. “Reality Transurfing! Be above the blanket! Be human. (…) Trasurfing is higher. Transsurfing an animal.. Transsurfing an animal - and be above people, (...) please? Thank you?" – with these words Voronov addressed the subscribers (Spelling and punctuation are the author’s. – Ed. note).

On Voronov’s wall you can also find posts in which he shares his thoughts. “I feel sorry for everyone. I want to love. What I am doing. Which is what they all do. That’s what we all do,” Nikolai wrote in early July. A few hours later, the musician decided to touch on the topic of envy.

“On the level of eternal life, it is a good feeling. You enjoy genius for 1000 years, but your life lasts 100,000,000 or whatever. He takes you into the world of your inner flowing sausage, but you finally don’t flow. He sees you, he cannot see you, he cannot unsee you, for 1000 years, he will have time for himself, it is eternal. Human. Bicycle. And what is envy? Good feeling. And misunderstood words. Understood, stand up and answer. Slap your ear. Understood, stand up. I don't open up completely. I envy. I see. I'm jealous. I see the words. I'm jealous. I hate Anne. I. I can’t unsee who wants to stop the earth, I’ll get off...” shared Voronov (Spelling and punctuation are the author’s. – Ed.).

Notes

An excerpt characterizing Voronov, Nikolai Alexandrovich (musician)

“Yes, I came to you, father, and with my pregnant wife,” said Prince Andrei, watching with animated and respectful eyes the movement of every feature of his father’s face. – How is your health?
“Unhealthy, brother, there are only fools and libertines, but you know me: busy from morning to evening, abstinent, and well, healthy.”
“Thank God,” said the son, smiling.
- God has nothing to do with it. Well, tell me,” he continued, returning to his favorite hobby, “how the Germans taught you to fight with Bonaparte according to your new science, called strategy.
Prince Andrei smiled.
“Let me come to my senses, father,” he said with a smile, showing that his father’s weaknesses did not prevent him from respecting and loving him. - After all, I haven’t settled in yet.
“You’re lying, you’re lying,” the old man shouted, shaking his braid to see if it was braided tightly, and grabbing his son’s hand. - The house is ready for your wife. Princess Marya will take her and show her and talk a lot about her. This is their woman's business. I'm glad for her. Sit and tell me. I understand Mikhelson’s army, Tolstoy too... a one-time landing... What will the Southern Army do? Prussia, neutrality... I know that. Austria what? - he said, getting up from his chair and walking around the room with Tikhon running and handing pieces of clothing. - Sweden what? How will Pomerania be transferred?
Prince Andrey, seeing the urgency of his father’s demand, at first reluctantly, but then more and more animated and involuntarily, in the middle of the story, out of habit, switching from Russian to French, began to outline the operational plan of the proposed campaign. He told how an army of ninety thousand had to threaten Prussia in order to bring it out of neutrality and draw it into the war, how part of these troops had to unite with the Swedish troops in Stralsund, how two hundred and twenty thousand Austrians, in conjunction with one hundred thousand Russians, had to act in Italy and on the Rhine, and how fifty thousand Russians and fifty thousand Englishmen would land in Naples, and how, as a result, an army of five hundred thousand had to attack the French from different sides. The old prince did not show the slightest interest in the story, as if he was not listening, and, continuing to get dressed as he walked, unexpectedly interrupted him three times. Once he stopped him and shouted:
- White! white!
This meant that Tikhon did not give him the vest he wanted. Another time he stopped and asked:
- And will she give birth soon? - and, shaking his head reproachfully, said: - Not good! Keep going, keep going.
The third time, when Prince Andrei was finishing the description, the old man sang in a false and senile voice: “Malbroug s"en va t en guerre. Dieu sait guand reviendra." [Malbroug is getting ready to go on a campaign. God knows when he will return.]
The son just smiled.
“I’m not saying that this is a plan that I approve,” said the son, “I just told you what it is.” Napoleon had already drawn up his own plan no worse than this.
“Well, you didn’t tell me anything new.” - And the old man thoughtfully said to himself in a patter: - Dieu sait quand reviendra. - Go to the dining room.

At the appointed hour, powdered and shaved, the prince went out into the dining room, where his daughter-in-law, Princess Marya, m lle Burien and the prince's architect, who, by a strange whim, was allowed to the table, was waiting for him, although by his position this insignificant person could not count on such an honor . The prince, who firmly adhered to the differences in status in life and rarely allowed even important provincial officials to the table, suddenly proved to the architect Mikhail Ivanovich, who was blowing his nose into a checkered handkerchief in the corner, that all people are equal, and more than once inspired his daughter that Mikhail Ivanovich was nothing worse than you and me. At the table, the prince most often turned to the dumb Mikhail Ivanovich.
In the dining room, hugely high, like all the rooms in the house, the household and waiters standing behind each chair were waiting for the prince to leave; the butler, with a napkin on his hand, looked around the table setting, blinking at the footmen and constantly running his restless gaze from the wall clock to the door from which the prince was supposed to appear. Prince Andrei looked at a huge, new to him, golden frame with an image of the family tree of the Bolkonsky princes, hanging opposite an equally huge frame with a poorly made (apparently by the hand of a home painter) image of the sovereign prince in a crown, who was supposed to come from Rurik and be the ancestor Bolkonsky family. Prince Andrei looked at this family tree, shaking his head, and chuckled with the look with which one looks at a portrait that is ridiculously similar.
- How do I recognize him all over here! - he said to Princess Marya, who approached him.

- How did you come up with the idea to record that same video where you sing the song “White Dragonfly of Love”?

It wasn’t me who came up with the idea, I’ve never promoted my work in my life, I thought it was wrong. It’s just that in Dubna, my dad invited me to give a concert and my pop songs were part of this concert. And I jokingly called one of the songs a hit. Someone just told me it would be a hit and I repeated it. Later, the guys from the Ukrainian group “Quest Pistols” approached me with a request to perform this song, I agreed. We filmed together clip , and this song broke TV. It was played at all discos.

- Did you expect such success?

No, and I don’t think anything special happened in my life. Yes, it’s very nice, it brings money and happiness, but at the same time I understand that I can do much more. For example, I create classical music, although it is not popular yet.

- Why do you think this video became so successful?

I do not know that. My song was an accident, I just think I performed it well, and it was unusual.

- What is the crowd at your concerts?

There is no contingent as such. I recently gave a party in St. Petersburg, in which children from 14 to 16 years old participated, they were guests there, they really liked my songs. Once I conducted it for 30-35 year olds, that is, everyone likes it, completely different ages.

- How do you make a living now?

At performances.

- Do you see anyone as your competitors on Youtube or on the Internet?

I have no competitors. In general, I think that it is wrong to envy someone, on the contrary, you are more likely to envy those who have no talent, who are too correct; if a person is more talented than you, it is, on the contrary, pleasant.

- Do you perform at corporate events?

Yes, they just rarely call now. They order from different companies, different people who know me and my songs.

- How has popularity changed people’s attitude towards you?

I had friends and still have them, I was not friends with people who purely listen to pop music, but my acquaintances and friends are for classical music, for serious creativity, so they thought that I was talented in classical music, and they still think so.

- Fame always has a downside. What is it like for you?

I don't see the other side. She's good and that's it - it's nice that they know you. Moreover, I didn’t do anything bad, I wrote songs, I didn’t kill a cat and recorded it on a video that was watched by a million people. And so I am responsible for myself and my actions, I think about what I do.

- What is your fee?

Translating into your money, on average I play for 8,000 hryvnia per concert. It happens less at corporate events and club performances. The largest was about 80,000 rubles.

- What are your plans for the future?

I create classical music, make theatrical performances, if this creativity is ever known, I think it will not go anywhere, because I have always been taught that classical music is eternal music. And pop music, well, “Dragonfly”, judge for yourself, was written in 2001, so it’s already 12 years old, and 12 years is normal for a hit. The fact is that at concerts they mostly ask to play it; it made waves in its time, and without this song I wouldn’t be known, that’s for sure.

- How did popularity change your life?

I continue to travel by public transport, in terms of lifestyle my popularity has changed me for the better because I quit smoking when I got on stage.

26-year-old Russian composer Nikolai Voronov, who became famous in the late 2000s thanks to the hit « White Dragonfly of love» , now runs a rather strange video blog on YouTube: in the videos he sits in front of the camera half naked and pronounces meaningless monologues. People on social media are worried about a man's mental health.

Users of social networks suggest that some kind of mental disorder caused by the lull after fame is to blame for Voronov’s behavior. “This is an example of how show business cripples people,” wrote the “Russian Shuffle” Telegram channel.

Nikolai Voronov was born in May 1991. According to his mother, he started playing music at the age of three. From the age of five he studied piano at the Moscow Gnessin Secondary Special Music School. Voronov became a star at the age of 17 thanks to YouTube and the song “White Dragonfly of Love,” which he wrote when he was 10 years old. He performed with her at corporate events, TV shows and clubs.

Voronov's popularity quickly faded. Last year, the young man gave an interview to StarHit, in which he said that he left the stage because he “began to study piano more seriously in order to become a professional who will have no failures at all.” At the same time, he stated that he hated the conservatory, where he studied for five years, because they “taught him nothing” and did not see him as a composer. Voronov also admitted that he is not worried about his past glory.
