Pelagia's personal and family life. Singer Pelageya

Pelageya (not a pseudonym, the real name given to the girl at birth) is a young singer who has been on the professional stage since early childhood. She was born on July 14, 1986 in the industrial and cultural center of Western Siberia - Novosibirsk. Full name - Pelageya Sergeevna Khanova.

From an early age, she showed herself as an outstanding vocalist - excellent hearing, clear intonations, individual timbre, the ability to easily reproduce various vocal manners, a wide range and the finest penetration into musical material - the data she received from nature always led not only an inexperienced audience, but also all experts are delighted. Very quickly, the media spread the news throughout the country that a girl lives in Siberia with a rare gift of a “vocal prodigy”, then they dubbed her the “National Treasure of Russia”. And not only thanks to the extraordinary abilities ...

The girl chose for herself a song genre that was completely unpopular at that time in Russia: Russian folklore and romances. A genre that people associated only with the festive and feast choral performance of “Oh, frost, frost”, or with officially treated adult aunts in kokoshniks.

Each time, choosing some well-known thing to perform, Pelageya surprised the listeners with a clearly manifested creative credo - a combination of seemingly incompatible components: original presentation (from the manner of performance to arrangement) and the desire for authenticity. At the age of 8, Pelageya enters a special school at the Novosibirsk Conservatory without exams and becomes the first female vocalist in the school's 25-year history.

At the age of 9, she meets the leader of the Kalinov Most group, Dmitry Revyakin, and he sends Pelageya's videotape to Moscow for Morning Star, but since there is no folklore block at that time, Yuri Nikolaev invites her to participate in competition of the Winners of the "Morning Star", where she successfully takes first place and becomes the owner of the honorary title "The Best Folk Song Performer in Russia in 1996" and a prize of $ 1,000. In the meantime, the song “Love, brothers, love!”, sung by Pelageya as a hymn to a warrior, recorded in haste in Novosibirsk and accidentally ended up in a duffel bag of one of the fighters of the Novosibirsk OMON! becomes a hit in Chechnya...

Having received an invitation from the Moscow Patriarchate to participate in one of the concerts in the Kremlin and lead it, Pelageya meets the Patriarch of All Rus' Alexy II and receives his blessing for creativity.

As a scholarship holder of the Young Talents of Siberia Foundation and a participant in the UN International Program "New Names of the Planet", she increasingly performs at the most prestigious venues in the country - such as the Variety Theater, the State Concert Hall Russia, Vasilyevsky Spusk on Red Square, the Kremlin Palace. Being not only talented, but also very modest, intelligent and sociable, the young singer quickly won sympathy in the staging, concert, musical and artistic environment of Moscow. And, which is extremely rare in Russian show business, her merits in the revival of Russian folk singing art were recognized by masters of various genres - from classical academic Russian folk (collaboration with the Osipov Orchestra) and pop to alternative rock (participation in such festivals , as "Learn to Swim" in Estonia, on Depeche Mode tribute records, various rock festivals, etc.).
Among the high-ranking people whom the girl from Siberia met during this time were Iosif Kobzon, Nikita Mikhalkov, Hillary Clinton, Andrei Konchalovsky, Naina Yeltsina and many others.

In 1997, several important events take place at once in the biography of the singer. 10-year-old Pelageya becomes a member of the KVN team of Novosibirsk State University and the youngest participant in KVN in its entire history. Hollywood director Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky invites her to participate in a grand show on Red Square dedicated to the 850th anniversary of Moscow!
Pelageya, who performed her hit "Lubo, brothers, ljubo!", Becomes the main tragic figure of the performance, which is broadcast by the BBC to the whole world. From now on, the media will call it the "National Treasure" of Russia.
And, finally, there is an acquaintance with Igor Tonkikh, the general director of the Fili recording company, at that time the most independent and progressive (releasing albums of such groups as Tequilajazzz, Chaif, Hummingbird, etc.) .

After short negotiations, Pelageya signs an exclusive contract with this company to record several albums. Together with her mother, the girl moves to Moscow, rents an apartment, studies at the music school at the Gnesinsky College in the piano department and records her first CD with the working title “Lubo!”.
A variety of musicians take part in the recording: Orchestra of Russian Folk Instruments. Osipova and Alexei Zubarev (guitarist of the Aquarium group), Academic Choir. Sveshnikova and Max Golovin (Eclectic project), guitarist Valery Leontyev Valery Dolgin, Transbaikal Cossack ensemble Zabuzory, winner of the Tchaikovsky Prize, cellist Borya Andriyanov, guitarist of the Megapolis band Max Leonov.

Pelageya is engaged in vocals with her mother, developing and strengthening her traditional Siberian style - with the so-called "hard vocal delivery". Having a natural widest range, she gradually masters cantilena, belkant singing. Living in Moscow, Pelageya actively participates in various official events, such as the ceremony of presenting the National Film Award NIKA and the All-Russian Theater Award - "Golden Mask", concerts (Easter in the Kremlin, etc.), charity events.

In March 1998, after the airing of Dmitry Dibrov's "Anthropology" with her participation, the 11-year-old singer receives an incredible offer from the President of Russia himself. For the first time since World War II, the heads of three powers at once meet: France, Germany and Russia. And at this meeting, the only cultural program of the Protocol provides for a small solo concert by Pelageya. News agencies spread around the world: Jacques Chirac called the girl "Russian Edith Piaf!", And Yeltsin, shedding tears, - "a symbol of a resurgent Russia."
A week later, in one of the rock and roll clubs, the "symbol" delighted journalists and visitors with the performance of his songs in a duet with Alexander Sklyar to the immodest accompaniment of "Va-Bank". Cooperation with Sklyar did not end there - Pelageya participated in the Learn to Swim Festival in the summer of 1998 and had incredible success with Estonian heavy music lovers.

In November 1998, she participated in the recording of the Depeche Mode tribute album "Depeche for Depeche Mode", which is published by "FILI", with the composition "Home", and the magazine "FUZZ" calls this cover version the most successful, and the musicians of "Depeshe Mode" - the best track from the album. At the same time, prominent figures of Russian culture petition the Mayor of Moscow to improve the singer's living conditions, and by decision of the Moscow Government, Pelageya becomes a Muscovite. True, despite this fact, journalists both in Russia and abroad continue to call her "a girl from Siberia."

In July 1999, at the invitation of Mstislav Rostropovich, the 12-year-old singer participates in one of the most prestigious music festivals in Evian (Switzerland), along with such world figures as Leo Markus, Evgeny Kissin, Ravi Shankar, Paata Burchiladze, BB King. Galina Vishnevskaya, in an interview with the French press, prophesies Pelageya a brilliant career as a world-class opera singer ...

And already in August 1999, she went to the world's largest theatrical and folklore international festival - FRINGE EDINBURGH FESTIVAL. The project, which combined the concert programs of Pelageya and the young Ukrainian performer Katya Chili, was called PRODIGIES and had a worthy success with the sophisticated Edinburgh audience. Pelageya, together with the musicians who came with her to Scotland, gives 18 solo concerts there!

The result of this trip was not only numerous shootings and interviews on the BBC, the broadcast of her performance on a huge television screen in London's Central Park, the proposal of the Deputy Mayor of Edinburgh for Culture to record an album in Scotland, but also an acquaintance with the manager of the legendary tenor José Carreras, who made an official proposal to Pelageya participate in the world premiere of an opera star.

In December 2000, the most significant event in the artist's creative life takes place - she creates a group. Then still without a name - just a team of young people united by common goals and objectives ...

Over the years of its existence, the group has undergone many changes - from the composition of the participants to the sound (from acoustic it became rock and roll in terms of the composition of the instruments) ... Only one thing remained unchanged for her - categorically fundamental independence from the production technologies of Russian show business and creative charisma, so pronounced in the singer Pelageya, whose name became the name of the group.

Winning the competition

Many years ago, when she was nine years old, she met the vocalist of the Kalinov Most band, Dmitry Revyakin, who was impressed by her beautiful voice. He sent a recording of Pelageya's song to the capital for the Morning Star program, but at that time there was no folklore category there yet. But Yuri Nikolaev solved this problem simply: he invited the girl to take part in the competition of the project winners. As a result, she won the competition and was named "Best Folk Song Performer". She was also awarded a cash prize - they gave 1000 dollars.

The first hit and participation in the concert

Meanwhile, hastily recorded in her hometown and somehow found herself in the backpack of one riot policeman, Pelageya’s song “Love, brothers, love!” became incredibly popular in Chechnya. And soon the performer on behalf of the capital's Patriarchy was invited to participate in the Kremlin concert - she was supposed to be the host. There she met Alexy II, who blessed her and wished her good luck. Then the celebrity was very small. And now many people want to know how old the singer Pelageya is now. It's no secret to anyone - she's 27.

Participation in KVN and performance on Red Square

But what happened to the singer next? After some time, a nine-year-old girl from Novosibirsk acquired acquaintances with famous people, for example, Joseph Kobzon, Hillary Clinton, Nikita Mikhalkov, Naina Yeltsina. Before the singer had time to look back, 1997 came, which brought her many important events. The girl was accepted into the Novosibirsk KVN team, and she became the youngest member of the club of all time. Then the singer Pelageya received an invitation to perform at a large-scale performance at the 850th anniversary of the capital. It was sent to her by a famous director named Mikhalkov-Konchalovsky. The girl who performed her famous song “Love, brothers, love!” attracted everyone's attention, her performance was filmed, after which it was watched by viewers in many countries of the world. From that moment on, the media began to call it the "Symbol of Perestroika", as well as the "National Treasure". Many at this time began to wonder what the name of the singer Pelageya was, not assuming that she was bearing her real name.

Entering a music school and recording the first album

Soon, the performer, along with her mother, began to live in the capital, in a rented apartment. The young singer entered the music school at the piano department. After some time, her debut album was recorded, called "Lubo!".

Speech at the summit

In the early spring of 1998, Pelageya became a guest of the Anthropology program, hosted by Dmitry Dibrov. It was then that the President of Russia saw her and made her a very tempting offer. For the first time in many years, a summit was held in which the heads of several countries took part: Russia, Germany and France. And at this meeting a small cultural program was supposed, namely a concert of a young singer. After this speech, they trumpeted all over the countries: he compared the young celebrity with Edith Piaf, and the Russian president even burst into tears and called the girl "a symbol of a resurgent country"! People were surprised when they found out how old Pelageya was. The singer was only 12.

Performance in a rock club, recording a cover

Seven days later, Pelageya performed at a rock club, delighting guests and journalists with the performance of her hits. Together with her, the Va-Bank group appeared on stage. In the late autumn of 1998, Pelageya contributed to the recording of an album with cover versions of Depeche Mode compositions. The girl sang the song Home. Soon, FUZZ recognized her cover as the best. In the early summer of 1999, Mstislav Rostropovich invited the singer to participate in the prestigious Swiss music festival held in Evian.

Performance in Edinburgh

August 1999 was successful for Pelageya - she was lucky enough to take part in the Fringe Edinburgh Festival. The young singer went there together with another talented girl from Ukraine - Katya Chili, they united in a group and called themselves Prodigies, so they performed together. The Edinburgh audience liked their compositions very much.

Singer Pelageya, together with the musicians who arrived with her, performed in front of a foreign audience as many as 18 times.

Recording two songs

In 1999, in the fall, the performer recorded two new songs in the capital of Ukraine: Mary Magdalene's aria from the famous opera called "Jesus Christ the Superstar" and "Evening Sacrifice" (this is the name of the Orthodox prayer). The compositions, as one would expect, turned out to be excellent.

Performances in Israel

At the beginning of the winter of 2000, the anniversary of Christianity was celebrated, and the singer, along with the Osipov Orchestra and vocalists from the Bolshoi Theater, performed at the Theater of Nations, located in the capital of Israel. And then she sang in Bethlehem, in the square near the Cathedral of the Nativity. In addition to many fans, all Orthodox Patriarchs, including Alexy II, also heard it. Again, people began to look for information about the name of the singer Pelageya, and when they found out that this was her real name, they were glad that her parents called her so beautifully. The year 2000 was generally very fruitful for the singer. Having stopped recording songs for the album, she begins to prepare for the next performances. Only one thing was upsetting: the singer did not find a producer to realize her main creative goal - to determine a musical style that would help present authentic and well-known folk compositions to a wide range of listeners.

Team building

So, Pelageya recruited a group of young people who were not indifferent to music, like herself, whose age ranged from 16 to 20 years, and began to prepare a concert program.

Moreover, the singer did not puzzle over who she was designed for. The compositions turned out to be very light and sincere, the guys played acoustic guitars, percussion, button accordion and ethnic

Performances in clubs and concerts

Initially, the singer Pelageya planned to perform in various clubs, for example, in the Chinese Pilot Zhao Da. However, it was decided to perform some compositions from this program also at the combined Kremlin pop concerts. Of course, most of the singers there just opened their mouths to the soundtrack. And the team, which is now called "Pelageya", does not even want to hear anything about her - this is not their prerogative.

This acoustic program was included in the subsequent part of the album. It contains seven compositions and is notable for the concert sound, which is so loved by the singer's fans.

Performance at the Theater Olympics and the next summit, the release of an album with romances

In 2001, the Pelageya team performed excellently at the Theater Olympics, which was organized by V. Polunin. And at the end of the summer, the singer performed her compositions at another meeting of eleven presidents of the former republics of the Soviet Union. There she performed together with Alla Pugacheva. In the autumn of the same year, an album was released with romances performed by domestic singers. These compositions were to be used in the painting "Azazel". The media announced the two best singers: Pelageya and Grebenshchikov. At the end of autumn, he arrived in the capital by chance and heard Pelageya's composition and invited her to perform the soundtrack for her new picture.

Singer Pelageya: personal life

In 2010, the wedding of the performer and Dmitry, the guy with whom she performed together in KVN, took place. And after a couple of years, the couple decided to divorce. None of them commented on this in any way, however, there is an opinion that the reason was the singer's unwillingness to have a baby and her husband's betrayal.

Now, apparently, Pelageya has found a new guy. Recently, they began to notice her in the company of an unknown man. They constantly hold hands and shine with happiness.

Do you know that…

• For many years the girl did not bear her name. The registry office workers were a little mistaken. They recorded a different name - Polina. Pelageya is not a secretive singer, and she told reporters this amazing incident. Only at the age of 16, upon receiving a passport, the girl regained her real name.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Canada, and were going to take the established striker to the main team, but still decided to let him play in the league below. He played for a few months with the St. John's IceCaps, but got injured. After that, the hockey player did not have the opportunity to play for several months.

The Winnipeg Jets, as the Atlanta Thrashers were now called, they hired a new player to take his place, deciding that Telegin would not recover.

They wanted to send Telegin on loan again, but his age no longer allowed him to play for the youth team, and the athlete himself was annoyed and disappointed.

As a result, he returned home to Russia. The club announced a disqualification to Ivan, he could not even train with top teams. In 2014, he officially became part of CSKA, where he still plays.

Back in 2012, Telegin became the silver medalist of the Youth World Championship. In 2016 Telegin was invited to the national team to participate in the Czech leg of the European Hockey Tour. Ivan Telegin is still a member of the Russian hockey team.

See you folk singer

A young wealthy athlete, Ivan liked to go to noisy parties and go to nightclubs. In one of these establishments, he noticed met stripper Evgenia Nour.

The girl was at that time in a long-term relationship with another man and was even going to marry him. But the young athlete began to seek the attention of a pretty dancer. According to Evgenia herself, he courted very beautifully, gave flowers.

Interesting Notes:

In one of these bouquets, Evgenia found a note. In it, Ivan expressed concern: "My heart shrinks from the thought that you are there."

Telegin was against her work in a nightclub, he managed to win Nour's favor and the young people began to live together.

The civil marriage lasted more than two years. The hockey player proposed to the girl, and they were going to play a wedding. In the midst of preparation, Evgenia realized that she was pregnant.

For this reason, the young decided to postpone the wedding. Throughout her pregnancy, Evgenia did not suspect anything bad. Beloved was there, and together they made plans for how Ivan would teach his son hockey.

The news of the departure of a loved one for another sounded like a bolt from the blue for Evgenia Nour. Joint pictures of Telegin and singer Pelageya appeared on the network, as well as a photo of the judge of the Voice project in a hockey t-shirt with the name Ivan.

Evgenia did not follow the publications about her man on the Internet, and a friend showed her these photos. Evgenia was in her ninth month of pregnancy. She was very upset by the betrayal, but she hoped that Ivan would walk up, change his mind and return to her. However, this did not happen and Telegin went to Pelageya completely.

Away from the tabloids

Not much is known about the history of the acquaintance of the singer and the hockey player. According to one version, they were introduced by Telegin's godmother named Kristina. It is known that after the appearance of Evgenia Nour in the program "Live" on the TV channel "Russia", Pelageya deleted all joint photos with Ivan from social networks.

In the program, Nour complained that the young father was not at all interested in the life of his son, he came one or two times a week. He rents an apartment for Evgenia and, through his godmother Christina, transfers 50,000 rubles a month for the maintenance of the child.

The public was divided into two parts. Some considered Pelageya a homemaker, building her happiness on other people's tears. Others supported the singer, some blamed Ivan. Tired of the rumors, the hockey player and singer closed their social media profiles.

Despite everything, the wedding took place in the summer of 2016. The singer speaks of her husband as a reliable and honest person whom she can rely on in everything.

In a documentary on Channel One, Pelageya denied rumors that she had taken the athlete away from her family. She admitted that at the time the couple met, Ivan considered himself a free man.

Already in January 2017, information appeared that the athlete and singer became parents. For Pelagia, this is the first child, the couple named the girl Taisia.

The singer rarely shares the details of her personal life, however, on one of the TV programs, the happy mother said that outwardly her daughter looks more like her father than her.
