Vladimir Presnyakov (junior) - biography, information, personal life. Vladimir Presnyakov Jr.: beloved women of the rebel

Presnyakova Elena Petrovna (b. 1946) - Russian singer, soloist of VIA"Gems". In 2002 she was awarded the title of Honored Artist Russian Federation.

Childhood

Lena was born on November 19, 1946 in the city of Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg). Her maiden name- Kobzeva. In total, there were four children in the family, and in order to provide for them, clothe, shoe and feed them, the parents had to work from morning to night.

Mom said more than once that Lena had to be born a boy. She was not only constantly drawn to risk, she was also very mischievous, rushing around the sheds, climbing trees. Sometimes he would come home - his knees were broken, his clothes were torn, his hands were scratched. Mom looks and starts to pronounce: “Well, look at the girl next door, she plays music, she is always clean and tidy. Who do you look like?" But Lena was not interested in girlish hobbies in music, she needed the boys to be allowed to ride a racing bike.

And when her older brother bought a motorcycle, Elena literally got excited about the idea of ​​riding it. Once a crowd went to the river to swim, Lena watched when her brother climbed into the water, saddled a motorcycle and rushed off. Theoretically, it seemed to her that she knew everything and could handle the controls. But she could only stop when she got stuck between two pines.

IN primary school Lena, in company with her friend, enrolled in a theater and dance club. But the girlfriend was all folded and refined, she always got the roles of princesses or the Snow Maiden on New Year's party. And tall, long-legged, slightly angular Lena was trusted to play horses in a harnessed troika. I had to jump with the words: "The troika rushes, the troika jumps!"

It's good that the rhythmic gymnastics section was located next door. Teachers from the theater and dance club tactfully suggested that Lena change her occupation. At first she cried for a long time, but then, when they began to praise her in the new team, she calmed down and really became interested in sports.

Youth

When the girl was thirteen years old, a coach came to their section for classes to select gymnasts for competitions. He watched Elena for a long time and then said: "You have such mischievous eyes!" She then noted for herself that she really liked the words young man and took it as a compliment. But at that time she was not yet up to love topics. At school, Lena was considered a real tomboy, she wore shirts and trousers, she was friends with some boys. When classmates were already starting to date boys, all of Lenin's potential cavaliers were included in the circle of her bosom friends.

At the age of fourteen, Elena fulfilled the standards for a master of sports in rhythmic gymnastics, but she was given an official certificate only two years later, when she turned sixteen. Those were the rules at the time.

In high school, she began to earn extra money to help her parents financially - she unloaded cars with bread and washed stairwells in the entrances. I just got so tired that sometimes I felt nauseous, and then fell asleep during the lessons.

The beginning of the musical path

In high school, Lena began to take part in amateur performances at the Polytechnic Institute. There, her singing was noticed and invited to the ensemble, which was led by Vladimir Petrovich Presnyakov. The girl agreed with pleasure, but her mother was categorically against it. She believed that her daughter should get a serious profession, and not wander like a gypsy from place to place. But Lena was supported by dad, he said: "Let him go". And my mother had to deal with it.

Vladimir Petrovich played the saxophone, wrote music and directed the pop ensemble of the Sverdlovsk Philharmonic "What the Guitars Sing About." Lena, after the first rehearsal, became a vocalist in the team. From now on, her life was inextricably linked with Presnyakov, together they later performed with the Georgian pop singer Gyulli Chokheli.

In 1973, Elena and Vladimir began working with the Moldavian pop group Norok. At the Melodiya company, the guys recorded a mini-disc, which was a huge success in the Soviet Union and even in neighboring countries. The team performed quite successfully throughout the country until 1975.

But then the ensemble was accused of imitating the West, a devastating article was published about defiant behavior singers, their shaggy hairstyles, disgusting costumes and vile repertoire. The team was disbanded, and after such an article, its members were not hired even in amateur performances.

"Gems"

Salvation came from Moscow, the musician and composer Yuri Malikov called Sverdlovsk, he created a new vocal and instrumental ensemble and invited Vladimir and Elena Presnyakov to it (by that time they were already husband and wife). So the couple became members of the Gems team. Vladimir stayed in the group until 1987, and when his son began to build a solo career, Presnyakov Sr. began working for him as a saxophonist. Elena still performs with "Gems". With this team, she traveled to the most remote corners of the Soviet Union, toured a lot abroad.

Most greatest hits“Gems” is also sung by the current generation:

• "How beautiful this world is";
• “This never happens again”;
• "Sign";
• "There, behind the clouds";
• “My address is neither a house nor a street”;
• "Verba";
• "Everything I have in life."

Elena to this day tours a lot with VIA "Gems" in Russia and abroad. Now, on the wave of nostalgia, the people again listen with pleasure to the hits of the Soviet era.

Personal life

Lena met her husband Vladimir Petrovich Presnyakov in the last grades of the school, when she became a member of his vocal and instrumental ensemble. They are of the same age with her husband, Vladimir was also born in 1946, only in March. But it so happened that Lena calls him “Petrovich” all his life (as they called their music director guys from VIA).

Mutual feelings arose very quickly between Elena and Vladimir. Soon he repelled all Lenin's boyfriends and began to look after her himself, even made a priceless gift for those times - Yugoslav pumps with stilettos. They began to meet, two years later Elena became pregnant, and Vladimir proposed to her. Young people got married in November 1967.

In March 1968, the couple had a son, who was named after the pope Volodya. At first, the Presnyakovs lived with Lena's parents in a small pantry, because there were already nine people in a small two-room Khrushchev. The son slept in a bath covered with a warm blanket. Only here, at first, Lena's mother and her older sister Masha, who worked in kindergarten, as young parents constantly toured. Elena found out on the phone that her son had gone, then he spoke. Her heart was torn between little Vovka and her favorite work.

The lack of attention was compensated by numerous gifts, something was always brought from each trip. After a long summer tour in Sochi, before returning to Moscow, Lena went to a local flea market and bought a bunch of clothes for her son. And during a tour of Italy, Elena spent all the money on jeans and sweaters for Vovka, she bought herself only a soft eyeliner pencil. When the son got older, the Presnyakovs got their own room in a communal apartment, and they began to take Volodya with them on tour. So chances to elect another life path at junior Presnyakov did not have. He followed in his parents' footsteps and also became a singer and musician.

There were discords in their family. Once Elena quarreled with Petrovich, took her son in her arms and went to her parents. Mom, seeing them on the threshold, took Vovka away, and slammed the door in front of her daughter. Lena had nowhere to go, her friends would not understand such a night visit, and she wandered home. I walked through the frost through the whole of Sverdlovsk in pitch darkness, because the lights were turned off at night, and at home there was no time for conflicts, so I reconciled with my husband. Only then did Lena realize how wise her mother had acted.

Presnyakova herself has become just as wise over the years. The first time the son of Volodya married the daughter of Alla Pugacheva, singer Kristina Orbakaite, in 1991 their son Nikita was born. Volodya and Christina lived together for ten years, but in 1997 they broke up. The second wife of Vladimir was the singer Natalya Podolskaya. After ten years life together, in June 2015, their son Artemy was born. But Elena Presnyakova never got into Vladimir's personal life with her advice and moralizing. In any dispute or conflict situations always took the side of her daughters-in-law.

Now Elena and her Petrovich have lived to see the golden wedding. The secret of their family happiness lies in mutual respect. She never interfered in her husband's affairs, he wants to go to the studio - go, he wants to play football - please, she never forbade anything. They are absolutely confident in each other and firmly know that they will be together to the last.

Forever young grandmother

In the early 1990s, the elder Presnyakov began performing with his son Volodka, and the head of Gems, Yuri Fedorovich Malikov, took up the career of his son Dmitry, and there was a moment when the VIA musicians felt abandoned. Many guys left the team, began to create their own groups. Lena, in spite of everything, remained in the "Gems" and the Mosconcert.

This creative pause helped her to fill the born grandson Nikita. Elena completely dissolved in the baby. Daughter-in-law Kristina Orbakaite did not want to burden her, but Elena was only happy to take care of her grandson. Together they went to the market and to the cinema, rode all the rides in Gorky Park, bought animals on the "Bird".

This is the second grandmother, Alla Borisovna Pugacheva, studied with Nikita humanities, sang to him, read, drew, bought an easel, in general, gave education, as in a lyceum. And Lena and Nikita had the main sports ground. They became not just a grandmother and grandson, but real friends, until now Nikita Presnyakov calls her Lenulya.

Secrets of youth and energy

Despite the fact that Elena is already over seventy, it is difficult to call this woman by her first name and patronymic. Everyone calls her Lena, and those close to her are Lenusik. She has so much energy that any young man would envy. She is always active and friendly, cheerful and always with a smile on her face. And how she dances during performances! What he does on stage: jumps to the audience, rides a motorcycle, spins somersaults. The singer's fans note: after the concerts of "Gems" it seems that he visited a real healing session. Elena is no better eminent psychics charges with strength and health, youth and positive.

She is so laid out at concerts physically that in free time does without sports. In the mornings in bed, he does exercises for the lazy - sipping, warming up his fists, shaking his legs in the pose of a spider that has fallen on his back. All this contributes to the normalization of blood circulation. An hour before the first meal, she always drinks a glass of water. Elena's breakfast consists of oatmeal steamed overnight with prunes and dried apricots.

The singer loves to solve crossword puzzles, crossword puzzles, she can sit behind them all night long. He also loves to read detectives by Alexandra Marinina and Daria Dontsova, and swallows several books a week. Her favorite dish – fried potatoes, among drinks I like instant coffee the most. In people, she appreciates, first of all, kindness and hates if someone tells a lie about her husband, son, grandchildren. Surprisingly, Lena, who always looks amazing, hates shopping. All outfits are bought by her husband, son and daughter-in-law or friends.

Elena has all centenarians in her family. Her mother only one year did not live to see the century, she lived all her life in Sverdlovsk and refused to move to Moscow. Brother Lenin's Pope passed away at the age of 103. When Elena was already over sixty, the popular show " glacial period”, She, remembering her childhood passion for skating, decided to take part in the project. But her relatives dissuaded her in time, citing the fact that participants are often injured on the show.

The singer has excellent genetics, she inherited a good figure from her mother, and she did not have to do anything special to maintain it in her life. The main secret youth and energy for Elena lies in the words that her mother taught. Wise woman said: "If you feel bad, go to the people". This is what Lena Presnyakova has been doing for almost half a century.

Elena Kobzeva, who in all post-Soviet countries better known by the name Presnyakova, she is a Soviet and Russian singer who became famous as a soloist of the Gems ensemble. Also, Elena Petrovna once sang along with Gyulli Chokheli and in the Moldavian song ensemble "Noroc". IN early XXI century, the biography of Elena Presnyakova was replenished with such an honorary title as Honored Artist of Russia.

Elena was born on the first postwar year in Yekaterinburg, which was then called Sverdlovsk. From childhood, the girl was a mischievous girl and a real "tomboy": she was friends exclusively with boys, wore loose-fitting pants and shirts. But in general education school she began to make friends with the girls, one of whom called Lena to dance studio. Elena Kobzeva liked dancing, especially when their group put on common rooms. But her temperament and demeanor, far from sophistication, did not allow her to take on leading roles: Presnyakova was instructed by teachers to dance a horse from a troika and others secondary characters.

When future singer Elena Presnyakova was 11 years old, the rhythmic gymnastics coach, whose section was located nearby, began to lure the girl to her. At first, Lena did not want to and even cried, but then she saw that praise and success awaited her in gymnastics, so she agreed. By the age of 14, Kobzeva had already fulfilled the standard for master of sports in rhythmic gymnastics, but she received the title itself only two years later, since according to the rules of Soviet sports it was impossible to give such high titles at a minor age.

However, Elena never became a professional athlete. This is due to an offensive injury that did not allow him to enter the world of big sport. Once the girl was late for training and casually reacted to the warm-up. When asked by the coach about her readiness to start performing complex gymnastic elements, Elena answered in the affirmative. The very first pirouette ended in failure: Lena woke up on mats with a cold bandage on her leg. The kneecap of the athlete jumped out of the joint. The knee was swollen before my eyes. I had to walk for more than a month with a plaster cast on my entire leg. After restoring her health, Elena herself was afraid to return to gymnastics, as she already experienced fear of a failed trick.

Since the family did not live well, Elena had to work in high school. The girl worked part-time on unloading cars with bread, washed the entrances. Elena had plans to enter the Radio Engineering Institute. But the love of music was stronger. At the end high school Elena Kobzeva, who had a pleasant timbre of voice, was accepted into its ranks by the pop ensemble of the Sverdlovsk Philharmonic, where she was personally invited by the head of this VIA, who soon became the husband of the singer and gave her his last name.

Music

Almost all creative biography Elena Presnyakova is directly related to the work of Vladimir Presnyakov. At first they worked together in the ensemble of the Sverdlovsk Philharmonic, then they performed in the ensemble of the famous Georgian pop singer Gyulli Chokheli, as well as in the Moldovan group "Noroc". Their joint hit "What Guitars Cry About" was popular at one time, and later was included in the repertoire of many Soviet, Russian and Moldovan bands.

True, in 1973, by order of the Minister of Culture of the USSR, Norok was disbanded due to “worship Western culture". Hard times are coming for Vladimir Presnyakov and his wife - they were afraid to take them even amateur ensembles. But the musicians do not lose heart, but continue to work with the VIA "What the Guitars Sing About", which was later also persecuted by the Ministry of Culture. Especially difficult times came for Elena and Vladimir after the publication of an article in the Pravda newspaper, in which reporter Valentina Terskaya condemned the behavior of the artists on stage, their costumes, hairstyles and base repertoire. The ensemble was disbanded, and young people could not get a job even in an amateur group.

Salvation came unexpectedly: they were met by the founder of the Samotsvety ensemble, Yuri Malikov, who invited married couple become part of this group. At that moment, the composition of the group was just changing, since former soloists left the team. Only Vladimir went to Moscow to audition, who subsequently summoned Elena and her son to the capital. Since 1975, the biography of Elena Presnyakova has been inseparable from the illustrious team. With "Gems" the singer traveled all over Soviet Union and many European countries.

The main hits of Presnyakova and the group "Gems" are such songs as "Everything that I have in life", "My address is the Soviet Union", "This never happens again", "There, behind the clouds", "Verba". During the existence of the team, Elena collaborated with talented musicians, the stars of the Soviet and Russian stage- , and others.

When the ensemble ceased to exist in 1992, the singer began performing with her son's troupe,. TO family ensemble the father also joined, who played the parts of the saxophone, accompanying his son. But subsequently Elena returned to the newly revived team "Gems", with which she tours all over the country. IN new composition the musical group included Grigory Rubtsov, Sergey Ukhnalev, Alexander Nefedov, Oleg Sleptsov, Georgy Vlasenko.

Elena Petrovna makes a real show out of performances - with incendiary dances, light humor and even acrobatic elements. Her signature number is the performance of the "wheel" after the performance.

In the new century, the group participated in music festivals"Autoradio" and "Disco of the 80s". The group celebrated its 35th anniversary with a concert at the State Kremlin Palace, which was broadcast on the Rossiya channel.

Personal life

In the Sverdlovsk Philharmonic, the singer became close friends with the leader variety ensemble Vladimir Presnyakov, with whom she started romantic relationship. When the young woman realized that she was expecting a child, Vladimir Petrovich proposed to her, and in November 1967 personal life Elena Presnyakova has changed: she has become married woman. In March of the following year, their The only son, named after his father - Vladimir Presnyakov Jr. The boy became no less a star for his generation than his parents were for the previous generation.

Today, Elena Presnyakova is twice a grandmother: from the marriage of her son and daughter, she has a grandson, and from Vladimir’s second marriage to the singer, her grandson Artemy.

Elena Petrovna comes from a family of long-livers: her mother passed away at the age of 99, and her uncle lived to be 103 years old. Presnyakova is known for hating shopping, so her husband and friends buy all the outfits for her. Also, a woman does not favor beauty salons, going there only as a last resort. To look spectacular waste time, Elena Presnyakova uses a wig, which helps the singer both during tours and at social events.

The previous husband, Igor Sarukhanov, did not hold on to Elena. They calmly, without scandals, filed for divorce. According to some reports, Elena left an apartment, a car and a small plot of land from this marriage.

From childhood, Vova rebelled so much against the then existing system of education and upbringing that he had to change educational institutions one after another, causing negative emotions not only from teachers, but also from the parents of his classmates.

Born on March 29, 1968 in Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg), among young musicians who still live happily together, Volodya absorbed the main values ​​​​of life from the cradle - music and family. And despite the fact that his father hoped to raise another saxophonist, Volodya managed to prove the right to exist own way. The guy began to appear as a musician very early, composing music from the age of 4. Helped unleash his talent nomadic life parents who toured with their young son, where he was surrounded by songs, concerts and the hardships of touring. Even in the apartment, the family did not remain alone - the creative fraternity composed, improvised, joked, played music, and little Volodya did not lag behind the adults.

Vladimir Presnyakov Jr. wrote his first serious song at the age of 11, already playing keyboards, drums and guitar. From the age of 12 he sang in the Elokhov Church in Moscow. And at the age of 13 he performed with the Cruise group, performing his own songs - “ old fairy tale”, “Red Book”, “Cat”. From childhood he studied at the famous Sverdlovsk boarding school, from which many famous musicians, including his father - Vladimir Presnyakov Sr. Volodya studied at the boarding school for only 2 years - his freethinking and mischief, incompatible with the rules educational institution, forced the parents to take their son to Moscow, where they had concert activities.

In Moscow, he studied at the Sveshnikov Choir School, but he also rebelled against local discipline and often skipped classes. Therefore, there he did not last until the diploma. Parents identified the maturing son in the school named after the October Revolution in the conductor-choir department.

How it all began

Fashion appeared in the 80s dance move- brakedance. Vladimir Presnyakov was one of the first to catch this wave, he was very noticeably successful in his performance. Laima Vaikule, who was then gaining popularity, noted Volodya as an artistic vocal performer and offered to work together on the show. Volodya was then 15 years old. They successfully worked in the ensemble for a year, performing almost every day until deep night at the Hammer Center. Volodya went headlong into concert activity feeling its purpose in it.

At these performances, Volodya was heard by members of the film crew musical film"Above the Rainbow" and invited him to sing songs for the main character of the film - Dmitry Maryanov. The film was received excellently by the audience, the merit of success belongs to Volodya's songs - "Zurbagan", "Roadside grass is sleeping", performed behind the scenes. In total, Volodya participated in the filming of 10 films in episodic roles. Popular paintings: "She with a broom, he in a black hat" (1988), "The Island of the Lost Ships" (1988), "8 ½ dollars" (1999), "Upside down" (2003) and others . Volodya called his cinematic experience, rather, a hobby and did not dream of becoming a movie star.

Solo career of Vladimir Presnyakov

From the age of 16 (1987) Volodya began working at the Alla Pugacheva Song Theater. The prima donna patronized young talent, shared professional experience- how to present yourself on stage, sing songs. Volodya learned a lot from the stage professional. Work in the theater continued until 1994.

Vladimir's own solo program was realized with the Kapitan team in Tallinn in September 1988. Two years later, he was already performing with great solo program"Farewell to childhood" in the Moscow sports complex "Olympic".

In the same 1990, Volodya was awarded the Golden Key prize as a singer and artist for his first own disc, “Dad, you yourself were like that”, large circulation which was distributed throughout the country. Volodya was the first among popular artists, who received a similar musical award.

Until the mid-90s, Vladimir Presnyakov Jr. was in the top ten popular artists countries.

In early 1998, he made a big tour of America with live sound. The halls were filled to capacity not only with Russian emigrants, but also with Americans.

Unique voice

During breakdancing, when Volodya and like-minded people often performed at the Pravda Palace of Culture, he suddenly fell ill with pneumonia. As a result, the voice disappeared. After recovery, the voice gradually recovered, but of a different quality - it became a high falsetto.

This is one of the popular versions of the appearance of the singer's mesmerizing voice.

According to another version, then known only in professional circles, the voice was specially set for a vocal career.

The question of professional voice production arose after age-related voice breakdown. We tried all the options, but the results were not satisfactory - the voice did not have an individual color. For a pop vocalist, voice recognition is of paramount importance, and from the first seconds of sounding. The concept of a special manner of singing was proposed specifically for Volodya.

The concept was to achieve a lower voice register. Western rock vocalists used a similar technique, masterfully pulling out "A" and "I" in the songs. A thoughtful image of a romantic lyricist was created, with an insinuating, soft voice, easily recognizable by the audience, performing a love repertoire.

First love

At the age of 18, Volodya meets his first love - the daughter of his mentor - Kristina Orbakaite, who was three years younger than him. They met at a concert in honor of the Constitution Day, where Volodya gave a concert with Laima Vaikule. Volodya fell in love with young Christina, who at that time had not yet graduated from school. Christina answered him in kind. They were very beautiful couple: both are pretty and tall - Vladimir Presnyakov is 184 cm tall, and Christina is 173 cm tall. The lovers met and a year later they began to live together in Volodya's apartment, who continued his song and creative activity. After several years of close relationship, the couple had a son, Nikita, making the young parents happy with the continuation of their love.

Being the wife of Vladimir Presnyakov, Christina was happy to play the role loving wife and caring mother. But soon she became actively interested in music. Gradually everyone took up solo career and the family fell apart, what became complete surprise for Volodya's parents. Nikita was then only 5 years old.

The star mother-in-law of Presnyakov Jr. wisely accepted the separation of the young, considering this the right step, because, according to her, "they would have to be brother and sister, and not husband and wife."

Indeed, Christina and Volodya remained close people and good parents to my sunny son.

Second try

Stormy romance with a beautiful accomplished woman - Lena Lenskaya lasted five years before the official marriage. Everything was romantic, the couple was warmly received in society, everyone was waiting for an official marriage. And it soon happened. But over time, life brought romance to nothing, the easy improvisation of talented relationships disappeared. creative people from different areas life and the couple broke up. At the same time, Elena and Vladimir remained good friends.
