Dmitry MALIKOV

D. Malikov was born on January 29, 1970 into an artistic and musical family. His father, Yuri Malikov, was the artistic director of the popular vocal and instrumental ensemble “Gems” for many years, and his mother, Lyudmila Vyunkova, performed on the ballet stage. In July 1997, the newspaper Vedomosti. Moscow" published on its pages the sensational news that Dmitry Malikov's grandfather was none other than the famous composer Eduard Kolmanovsky (familiar to the listener from many wonderful songs and music for films: "Big Change", "For Family Circumstances", etc. ). However, let’s listen to A. Shebanov:

“In the late sixties, on one of his trips, young Yuri Malikov “had his eye” on the pretty Svetlana, the daughter of the composer Eduard Kolmanovsky. It soon turned out that Sveta was pregnant. But by that time, Yuri Malikov was seriously interested in Lyudmila, who soon became his wife. It was not easy for Svetlana to cope with the blow. And she made an extraordinary decision - to give the child, whom she named Dima, to be raised by her lover.

The father and stepmother loved the boy madly, but the tour took up too much time, and Dima lived mainly in Chekhov, near Moscow, with Yura’s parents (he was raised by his grandmother Valentina Feoktistovna, who had to live in two houses: then with her grandson - in Moscow, on Preobrazhenskaya Square , then at home - in the Moscow region. - F. R.). Svetlana often visited there to see her son and chat with the old people. Her father Eduard Savelyevich also looked into Chekhov - after all, the heir is growing up.

During the entire time Dima studied at a specialized music school at the Moscow Conservatory (he entered there at the age of 5. - F.R.), the grandfather-composer did not take his eyes off his grandson. And he, in turn, regularly paid visits to Eduard Kolmanovsky, who lived not far from the conservatory, in the house of the Union of Composers. Dima Malikov graduated from music school with an “excellent” grade and began to try himself as a singer and composer - first with “Gems”, then on his own (Dima began performing at the age of 13, composed his first songs at 16 - they were performed by “Gems” and Larisa Dolina. - F.R.). Eduard Savelyevich actively helped the new star “unwind”. By the way, in the entrance exams to the Moscow Conservatory named after P. I. Tchaikovsky (piano class - F. R.), Dima did not get two points, but this obstacle was easily eliminated. (According to the ten-point system, he scored 8.16 points: at the colloquium he could not answer in detail the question about Chopin’s mazurkas and in literature he received a four for an essay on the story “The Fate of Man” by M. Sholokhov. - F. R.) Then the loving grandfather did the same easily solved the problem with my grandson’s “slope” from the army. “His” doctor at the Ostroumovskaya hospital “gave” Dima an ulcer...”

However, it is worth giving Malikov his due - no amount of patronage from an influential relative could have made him a star if he had not been truly talented. At the age of 18, he recorded three songs, one of which, “You’ll Never Be Mine,” immediately became the leader of the national hit parade. Malikov immediately received offers from professional administrators to organize his first tours around the country; he starred in the television programs “Morning Mail” and “Song-88”.

Even greater success came to Malikov at the end of the same year after performing at the New Year’s “Ogonyok”, where he performed his next hit “Until Tomorrow”. After that, the songs he wrote one after another - “Student”, “Marriage Cortege”, “Everything Will Return”, “Golden Braids” - for several months were on the top lines of many domestic charts - from “Soundtrack” to “Hit” - TASS parade.

Malikov's star rose in the field of Russian pop music almost simultaneously with two other vocalists - Presnyakov and Belousov. Moreover, each of them had their own stage image. Presnyakov bore the stamp of a “street boy-breaker”, Belousov - a “heartthrob”, and Malikov - a “proper boy from an intelligent family”. However, if you try to determine the degree of popularity of each of these artists among the youth audience, it turns out that each of them had approximately an equal number of fans. After the concerts, all of them were pursued by crowds of rabid fans who tore their clothes and bombarded them with letters with declarations of love. Regarding his attitude towards this kind of fans, D. Malikov said in one of his interviews:

“I don’t have a very positive attitude towards such fans, to put it mildly. Firstly, because they cannot achieve anything, since, being on duty at the entrance, they see me early in the morning or late in the evening. I don’t even have time to talk to them - I’m always in a hurry. But I can’t say that all fans have this attitude. There are good people among them. I go to friendly people, on whose faces I see a smile, with all my heart. But there are few of them. Much more than other “options” - people write letters with threats, similar threats are also heard over the telephone at home. The children were brought to their grandmother’s apartment: “Here’s your great-granddaughter! Dima’s son!” But you need to know my grandmother. Whatever she says... In general, they didn’t bother her with repeated visits. Repairs to my entrance were done four times. Everything was covered with confessions...

Once I sang in Ryazan at a stadium where ten thousand people gathered. Eight of them are girls. So, these fragile creatures turned out to be so active that they swept away the police cordon, all the equipment on the stage, and on the way to my person they almost overturned the bus in which we arrived. In general, I miraculously remained safe and sound..."

In the overwhelming majority of letters that came then addressed to Malikov, the girls declared their love for him and asked him to pay attention to them (some fans used their own blood instead of ink - for drama). At the same time, some of them tried to blackmail the idol, saying that if he did not respond to their messages, they would commit suicide. There were also those who threatened not only to kill themselves, but also anyone who their idol “set his eyes on.” As they say, neither for yourself nor for people. Did Malikov have a girlfriend? And in general, how was his relationship with the fair sex?

According to the singer, he began to show interest in the fairer sex from early childhood. My first hobby was when I was five years old. D. Malikov recalls:

“Our parents rented dachas nearby. And I gave her bouquets of dandelions, but they rejected me. Then, in first grade, I fell in love with another pretty girl. And again I was rejected. Because she had a very strict mother who was against her close friendship with me. By the way, it so happened that many years later she came to my concert. I stood in the Olimpiysky Stadium, saw the roaring stands and probably thought: “It’s a pity that I missed my happiness.” Kidding. Of course, in first grade I wasn’t particularly worried about all this. Real suffering came much later... And my first sexual experience came to me at the age of 16. She was my age, a school friend. She was no longer innocent, and I, of course, was embarrassed. Like everyone else, the first experience was chaotic and uninteresting. Thank God, this did not happen in the entrance, but at my home. My parents were on tour, my grandmother went for a long walk. I was left to my own devices..."

In July 1989, answering a question from a correspondent for the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper whether he had a girlfriend, Malikov replied that he did not. And he described his ideal as follows: “I like short girls. This is due to the fact that at work I often had to deal with fashion models, each of which was two meters tall. I mostly like blondes." And just a few months later, just such a blonde appeared in Malikov’s life. It was 24-year-old singer Natalya Vetlitskaya.

Probably, hardly any other singer has made as much noise with her personal life as Vetlitskaya. In this regard, only Alla Pugacheva can compare with her. Before Malikov, Vetlitskaya’s list of amorous victories included Pavel Smeyan and Evgeny Belousov. She met Malikov in 1989 during one of the concerts (Vetlitskaya had been performing on the pop stage since 1984: she sang backing vocals and imitated playing the saxophone in the Rondo group). Malikov fell in love with the slender blonde at first sight and immediately gave her the song “Soul” for her birthday, with which, in fact, Vetlitskaya’s successful career as a singer began.

However, Malikov’s own creative career continued to develop upward. In 1990–1992, he was one of the five most popular performers on the domestic pop scene. His songs “Native Country”, “Poor Heart” (dedicated to V. Tsoi), “Renaissance”, “You Never Loved Me” were a huge success among listeners. However, Malikov performed successfully not only within his native fatherland - he starred in show programs on Polish television, recorded a song with a charming black woman in Holland, and toured in Hungary.

Like any other performer, Malikov’s touring biography includes a huge number of all kinds of incidents, both sad and funny. For example, in 1991 in Makhachkala, during a performance at the stadium, some drunk spectator threw a stone onto the stage and hit Malikov in the face. The stone cut his eyebrow and blood gushed from the wound. The concert had to be interrupted, and the terrorist was taken to the police. According to Malikov, after this he suffered from a mental disorder, terrible depression.

Here's a comical case. After a concert in Togliatti, a young woman came into the artist’s dressing room and asked to leave her some unusual autograph. “Which one exactly?” - Malikov was surprised. The woman thought for a second, after which, in front of the amazed members of Malikov’s ensemble, she unbuttoned her jacket and exposed her luxurious breasts. “Sign it!” - said the fan. And Malikov, blushing and stuttering, wrote a few words on the bust with a felt-tip pen: “With love. Malikov."

In addition to performing on the stage, Malikov regularly visited the walls of the Moscow Conservatory, where he studied piano with teacher Valery Kostelsky. Malikov said about his stay there: “My teacher is a fairly smart and sensitive person, he understands everything. For him, the main thing is that I study well, and I, of course, try to move forward all the time. After all, I came to him already as a pop star and did not start hacking on the side, becoming a student. I was determined to become a good pianist. So I don’t skimp on my studies, I approach my studies responsibly. And my teacher sees this. And then, he is an earthly man, he understands that you cannot live on a student scholarship and you cannot help your parents. So the stage helps to combine business with pleasure.”

In 1992, Malikov tried himself in another role - a film actor. Director Alexander Proshkin invited him to play the main role - a conservatory student, pianist - in his film “See Paris and Die.” The film became a real sensation and brought its creators several prizes, including Niku-92, Kinotavr-93, etc.

At the beginning of the same year, changes occurred in Malikov’s personal life. After three years of living together, she and Vetlitskaya scattered in different directions without quarrels or scandals. And soon after that (in March), Malikov met his current wife, fashion specialist Elena. Like Vetlitskaya, she was several years older than him, was already married once and had an 8-year-old daughter Olya from this marriage. D. Malikov recalls:

“Fate brought us together with one of my friends (I emphasize - a married friend). I saw her photo of Lena. And the next day he invited the two of them to a banquet in Luzhniki, which for some reason was organized in honor of the arrival of Stallone’s mother. After dinner, I gave my charming companions a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and at that moment I really liked myself..."

The young couple settled in a separate apartment in a house on 3rd Frunzenskaya, in the same entrance as the well-known “pyramid” builder Sergei Mavrodi. “We have a lot of security at the entrance,” D. Malikov said in an interview, “and there are a lot of bankrupt shareholders near the house. Sometimes (not often enough, unfortunately) I help grandmothers who are left penniless and come to our entrance in the last hope of getting their money back..."

To the question: “What trait of your character does your wife not like?” - Malikov replied: “Inaccuracy. To be honest, I'm quite a slob. I am also sometimes not very decisive. Lena is very annoyed by this, and she constantly encourages me to be more confident in myself. Everyone says: star fever. For me it is in the opposite direction. And in financial matters I often find myself in the dark. Because I’m embarrassed, I give in where there’s absolutely no need to do so...”

Malikov received his driver's license at the age of 18. His first car was his father’s “six”, but then he became rich and began buying exclusively foreign cars - BMW, Mercedes. At one time, one of the central newspapers vigorously circulated the rumor that Malikov had an original hobby - collecting luxury cars. He denied this rumor.

D. Malikov says: “The traffic cops sometimes slow me down. There was a case when my rights were taken away. But it wasn’t my fault then. The traffic cop recognized me, but began to say that, they say, he doesn’t watch TV, it’s you who do what you want on your stage, and here I, they say, will decide. As a result, I took away my rights. Absolutely no way.

It’s good that the traffic police itself turned out to have more sane people, and I took the documents without any problems...”

At the end of 1995, Malikov’s name was at the epicenter of another unpleasant story - his studio completely burned down. It was like this.

Until the mid-90s, Malikov preferred to work in other people's studios, but it cost him a pretty penny (an hour's rental cost $30–40). Therefore, his long-time dream was to have his own studio, where he could write songs without paying attention to time and without looking into his wallet. And this opportunity presented itself to him. The studio was purchased and located in the Mosconcert building on Kalanchevka. However, only a few months passed after moving there when an emergency occurred - due to a short circuit in the electrical wiring, a fire broke out and the building completely burned down. According to Malikov, “...I felt sorry for the equipment, and all the money that went into repairs, but, most importantly, for the time and my own moral and physical costs, because I myself went to buy every nail...”.

The following summer, another unpleasant story happened to Malikov, this time a love story. He then gave concerts in Sochi. After one of them, one of the fans suddenly burst into his dressing room and demanded that the stunned singer immediately go with her to the mountains, where she had specially rented a restaurant for the whole night. Malikov tried to explain that he was not going to go anywhere, but the next second two closet-like men appeared behind the fan, who unobtrusively introduced themselves as her brothers. Therefore, the singer decided not to tempt fate and promised the woman to fulfill any of her requests, but after the tour. However, the woman was adamant and demanded to go with her immediately. Seeing that he couldn’t get rid of her just like that, Malikov resorted to a trick. He pretended to agree with the fan’s entreaties and asked her to wait for him in the dressing room while he collected his things. However, as soon as Malikov left the dressing room, he “gave up,” that is, he left the establishment through the back door. After that, he locked himself in the hotel and did not leave its premises for several days, not even answering phone calls. The ardent fan was never able to get it in this “fortress”. Later, Malikov explained to his friends the panic that gripped him: “The girl was so determined, and the brothers were so serious, that if I had gone to the mountains with her, I would have had to marry her later.”

In 1997, millions of Russians had the good fortune to see Dmitry Malikov on their television screens as a model for the famous company Procter and Gamble - the singer advertised Head and Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo. There was subsequently a lot of talk about this (they say that the singer’s financial affairs are so deplorable that he earns money this way), and Malikov had to explain himself on this topic in one of his interviews. He said: “Advertising is a business. The Spice Girls are now advertising Pepsi-Cola because they were paid $10 million to do so. I wasn’t paid even a tenth of this... But in general, I am pleased with the cooperation with Procter and Gamble. If it weren’t for this company, it would have been much more difficult to organize a tour of Russian cities...”

As for Malikov’s creativity, over the past two or three years he has written more than three dozen new songs and instrumental compositions, which were included in four albums: “One Hundred Nights”, “Come to Me”, “Fear of Flying” (instrumental music), “ My star is distant." Of course, Malikov’s current popularity cannot be compared with what it was some five or six years ago, but his name is forever inscribed in golden letters in the annals of the national stage. Despite his relatively young age, many experts rightly call Malikov “the grandfather of Russian pop music.”

On August 20, 1998, the Vedomosti newspaper. Moscow” published a note on its pages, from which it follows that the popularity of Dmitry Malikov is by no means a thing of the past. What was discussed in this publication? In early August, Malikov was invited to the opening of one of the “fashion” exhibitions at the Expo Center on Krasnaya Presnya. The singer performed several of his old and new hits, after which he decided to walk around the pavilion and look for some fashionable outfit for himself and his beloved wife. After several minutes of active searching, Malikov fixed his gaze on an elegant jacket made of the finest leather. However, he barely had time to stand in front of the mirror to see the expensive update on himself when young fans flew at him from somewhere behind and began to shamelessly grab him with their hands. Malikov, naturally, did not like this, he tried to escape from the hot embrace, and at that moment the expensive product burst at the seam. After this, the frightened girls fled in different directions, and the singer was forced to go “with his eyes down” and explain himself to the sellers. They say that they understood his situation and resolved the problem amicably - that is, they did not demand money from him for “damage to property.”

From an interview with D. Malikov: “Sometimes, it happens, I break down and make a scene. True, I am quick-tempered, but easy-going. And, in principle, a non-conflict person. It's still hard to get me out of my temper. But if you take him out, then there’s no stopping him... True, it usually doesn’t come to a fight. I can only fight if I need to stand up for a woman. But in all the companies where I hang out, it doesn’t come to this. The last time I fought, it seems, was when I was 18...

I hardly watch TV, I don’t read newspapers. Because I’m sure it has a bad effect on the psyche. It is enough to see a State Duma meeting at least once, and you can already go crazy...

My sister Inna is seven years younger than me. At first I was jealous, I was even upset when she was born. For a long time I didn’t understand why my parents gave her so much love and tenderness. Yes, I was so selfish! And now I scold myself for it. In general, Inna was very obstinate, a couple of times she even threw stools at the door of my room. And I also stood my ground, fool. But girls have to give in. Now she has changed a lot, she is prettier. He studies acting at GITIS...

They say that pop stars are not friends with each other. But I have good relationships with many colleagues in the pop industry. With Sarukhanov, Gazmanov, Dolina, Presnyakov, Kelmi, with Lenya Agutin. I believe this is friendship. We go somewhere together, relax, visit each other, play sports. I play football and tennis. I hardly drink and don’t smoke at all.

By nature I am a sentimental person. When I watch a sad film, I can even cry. "White Bim Black Ear", for example. I've been crying on it since childhood..."

55-year-old Elena Malikova responded to all critics and ill-wishers, advising them not to pay attention to the numbers in their passport.

Singer Dmitry Malikov and his wife Elena became parents for the second time on January 24: the star couple’s baby was born in one of the clinics in St. Petersburg. The musician's heir was carried and given birth by a surrogate mother. Elena admitted: she and her husband did not intend to tell the general public about their son and intended to keep the news of his birth secret for as long as possible.

The plans of the star couple were disrupted by someone from the clinic staff who leaked information to one of the TV channels. And then Malikov himself told fans on Instagram that he had become a father. It was not in vain that the star couple wanted to avoid publicity, because along with congratulations and wishes of happiness addressed to the newly made parents, quite offensive remarks are sometimes sent on social networks. The comments discuss the late motherhood of Elena, who will celebrate her 55th birthday in February, i.e. will reach retirement age, she is 7 years older than her husband, and the fact that the Malikovs’ child was carried and given birth to by a surrogate mother.

Elena decided to respond to all ill-wishers via Instagram. The artist’s wife advised critics not to look at their age and not to be afraid of the numbers in their passport, but to simply live and enjoy every day - the way they and Dima do. The birth of a baby brought great happiness to their home, and now the couple has begun a new life.

« Good morning! I want to say THANK YOU to everyone for your kind words and congratulations, and even THANK YOU for your malicious comments - your poison and sting fired at me train my soul!? I would not like to enter into controversy with the whole world, but those who consider it necessary to comment on our personal life should also hear my point of view. So there you go! You can have different attitudes towards life and age - be irritated by the young, beautiful, rich, be afraid of old age and tomorrow, think with horror about death... But there is another way - just be happy every day, love those who are nearby, take care of them, don’t sit still, but act, don’t become limp, but develop, and, finally, don’t look at your passport—there’s nothing new or interesting there. Moreover, it is necessary to forgive offenders, in my opinion, INSTAGRAM was sent to us for forgiveness?. And the last thing! Thanks to the birth of our son, there is one more love on this earth! ❤. I wish you happiness!", wrote Elena Malikova.

Fans in the comments reassure Elena: you shouldn’t pay attention to evil and envious people, the main thing is the happiness of the family and the birth of the baby. " Well done! This is such a joy and an incentive to be better, younger and learn new things.“,” followers write, “K Of course, becoming parents at a late age is a big responsibility, but people don’t succeed even at 20».

Many women took Malikova’s side, who, like Elena, are sure: at 40, life is just beginning.

« We have a sick society, unfortunately, there are many frames and restrictions artificially grown in the minds of people!– writes one of the subscribers. - Age, height, bank account balance and a bunch of other parameters by which society strives to live! And for some reason it has been decided in our sick society that after 40-45 years a woman dies. It exists, but there is nothing to take from it! Now, I despise this narrow-minded approach. I have friends who are not interesting even at 30. And we need examples like Malikova! Let there be millions of times more of these fragrant, beautiful, and self-confident women! Happy birth of the baby!»

Dmitry and Elena have not yet come up with a name for their son - the parents are looking through all possible options, but have not yet settled on one. The Malikovs brought their son from a St. Petersburg clinic to Moscow on January 29: a nursery beautifully decorated with balloons was waiting for the newborn. Then the couple decided to show the boy to their fans by posting a touching family photo on Instagram. In the photo, Malikov tenderly kisses his wife, and his tiny brother, dressed in a blue suit, is held in the arms of the star couple’s daughter Stefania. Caring parents covered the child's face with a smiley face. The photo appeared on Elena Malikova’s Instagram. Without holding back her emotions, the artist’s wife talked about how she lost her parents and found a happy family again only when she married Dmitry:

« I was the only child in the family, wrote Elena. - Beloved, smart, beautiful, but the only one. When I turned 20, my mother suddenly died, then my father. My very little daughter Olya saved me from the horror of what happened. Simply because she was. After some time, my life changed dramatically - I met Dima, thanks to him I found a wonderful family: he, his parents, sister, grandmother, aunts, nephew, our wonderful daughter and son... Family is a team! Where one is for all and all is for one! And the more young players there are in it, the stronger it is».

The birth of a baby was the best birthday present for Dmitry Malikov: on January 29, the musician celebrated his 48th birthday. The news that the artist had a son came as a complete surprise to everyone. Many at first decided that this was a prank, because recently Dmitry had been constantly surprising his fans on social networks with incendiary posts and videos in which he joked a lot and gave non-trivial advice.

The former sex symbol of the 90s is experiencing a new wave of popularity, becoming an Instagram star. Moreover, in his large army of fans there are ladies of all ages - from 15 to 60 and older. It is not surprising that the news about the birth of a son from a surrogate mother on the Internet was initially perceived as just another tale. And only when the composer confirmed that he and his wife had indeed become parents, fans bombarded him with congratulations.

Let us remind you that 48-year-old Dmitry and 55-year-old Elena Malikov have been together for a quarter of a century. The couple got married 25 years ago. In 2000, they became parents for the first time. Their daughter Stefania Malikova is now 17 years old, the girl studies at MGIMO and works as a model.
