Which group is Vlad Topalov from? Family archive of Vlad Topalov
Vlad and Ksenia got married two years ago. They looked happy harmonious couple. The news of the couple’s divorce seriously surprised the artist’s fans. It turned out that Topalov and his wife lived separately for several months before the paperwork was completed.
ON THE TOPIC
In a conversation with reporters, the singer noted that he and Kseniy were in a hurry with the decision to get married. “When we started dating, we were both at the age at which we already wanted to start a family and settle down. But it was such a big “boom” - two Scorpios collided (I believe a little in horoscopes), bright, emotional, strong, fighting. Here and rushed into battle - we didn’t even have time to live together, only after the wedding did we begin our everyday life,” said the performer.
Topalov speaks of his ex-wife with warmth and good-naturedness. "Ksyusha - wonderful person, we have been through a lot in these two years. And I will never allow myself to speak badly about her,” Vlad assured. “I would venture to suggest for both of us that the reason for the divorce was our inexperience, our unwillingness to give in to each other on something.”
When problems began in the family, the singer and his wife agreed to live separately. Last November they "took a break." At that time, Topalov still hoped that he and his wife would be able to overcome all differences. However, the reunion did not work out: on March 9, they received a divorce certificate.
Let us remember that Vlad married Ksenia in September 2015. Topalov and his bride did not want to talk about the wedding, so only their closest friends and relatives were invited to the celebration. However, this event could not be kept secret. The ubiquitous paparazzi managed to catch the lovers at the Kutuzovsky registry office.

Mikhail and Vadim began work on this collection, and Vlad and Sergei were simultaneously preparing a surprise for Vlad’s father’s fortieth birthday - the recording of the ballad “B”. From two gifts the group arose.

Drug addiction of Vlad Topalov
In February 2007, in the program “Man and the Law”, and then in May 2008, in an interview with the newspaper “Moskovsky Komsomolets”, Vlad Topalov admitted that from January 2004, when he was 18 years old, he took drugs for 4 years and is struggling with addiction. This caused health problems, for example, in the winter of 2008, his kidney failed, quarrels with his father and an indirect reason for the collapse of the group “Smash!!”.
The singer said that once, having arrived from the USA, he fell ill with a severe sore throat - he had a weak immune system. “I couldn’t get to my feet, I lay at my mother’s house for two days. I woke up on Monday and realized that I couldn’t speak, and on Friday there was a concert and the musicians were rehearsing with all their might. I was taken to the clinic, and, naturally, before doing anything , doctors take a blood test. For a long time they could not believe that these were my tests, they thought that they had messed something up. They then told me that I had the heart of a forty-year-old man, an enlarged liver and a catastrophe with the blood, my immunity, to put it mildly, was zero. , the bone marrow at that time did not produce the required number of cells to regenerate them. I was forced to tell the doctors everything, but this was not a drug treatment clinic. As a result, I continued to snort and was treated in this clinic, but the doctors said that there was nothing wrong with it. there’s no point and I have to “decide for myself.” And a year ago I was forced to admit that I simply couldn’t do anything about it,” he said.
At the same time, the singer realized that he was a drug addict. Then the body could not stand it - due to drug abuse, the kidney began to fail. He even thought about suicide.
“I spent two weeks in the hospital on painkillers... I once thought about “going out of the window”, and I realized that only for the first week after that they would worry, and then they would say that he was weak and could not overcome himself . For me it’s like losing. And I would like to be worthy and strong man, first of all, to yourself. The concept of what kind of person you are does not depend on what people think about you. When you stand in front of a mirror, you can answer all your questions. Walking around and saying that I am strong and can do anything is weakness. I realized that I don’t want to be weak, this is a test that God sent me, and either I will get through it or I won’t. Therefore, now I am under the supervision of specialists, the main course of treatment has already been completed, and now I am restoring my body. This is a very difficult process, psychologically difficult,” the artist shared.
On April 17, 2008, Vlad Topalov’s second solo album, “Let the Heart Decide,” was released on the Nikitin label. The recording of compositions for this album took place in Miami at the Hit Factory Criteria studio and in Moscow at the Fantasy Sound and Vi Sound studios.

I got into the habit of counting my losses. And the further I went, the more often I came to the conclusion: my life is absolute zero. Zero. Emptiness... Today we will reveal to our readers the family archive of Vlad Topalov.

My introduction to drugs was simple. I wasn't hooked on them. No one urged: “Come on, try it, you’ll like it!” Just when on Smash!! fame struck, everyone wanted to see Lazarev and me in their company. And in many nightclubs, drugs, as they say, are on the menu. I was fifteen then; Seryozhka was two and a half years older and, perhaps, therefore wiser. He resisted temptations, I did not.
I came to the club tired, I thought about running home in half an hour and going to bed. And then an ecstasy tablet turned up. I held it in the palm of my hand and persuaded myself: “This is not even a drug, nothing will happen just once.” Finally I swallowed it, and I was overcome with such a surge of energy that I walked all night.
And then it started rolling. I slowly and surely sank to the bottom. He became angry and irritable. Could explode for any reason. He ruined relationships with people out of the blue. Immunity dropped to zero. A common cold stuck with me for a month. Right during the performance he started coughing like an old man.
One night I woke up in terrible pain. It was getting worse every minute. It seemed like the end. It became so creepy. I called an ambulance. She arrived surprisingly quickly. The doctor examined me, understood everything and shook his head:
- These are kidneys, we need to go to the hospital.
- I have a concert today, I can’t!
- If the kidneys fail, there will be no concerts. There will be nothing at all.
In the hospital, pumped up with painkillers, I fell asleep. When I woke up, my mother was sitting on a chair next to me.
Her eyes immediately filled with tears.
— Vlad, it’s because of drugs, right? Please, I beg you, leave them. After all, you could die today. What about me, dad?
I ran my hand over her wet cheek:
- Don't cry, I'm back...
More than once I have heard about myself: “But he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth!” This means that my father is - big businessman, owner of his own law firm. And also a former musician. Therefore, they say, I can always count on powerful financial support. And overall, he's a lucky guy.
In the family archive of Vlad Topalov, everything is so and everything is wrong. Yes, he really was happy, but there were days when loneliness and a feeling of uselessness overwhelmed those closest to him. But pain is given to us in order to feel happiness more keenly.
This swing is probably life...
My parents met at a bus stop. Mom, a student at the Institute of History and Archives, was hiding from the pouring rain. And dad ran past and offered her his cloak. You could say that thanks to this rain I was born.
They were beautiful couple, but very different: dad is a military man, tough, extremely collected. He worked in the Main Personnel Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Mom is a creative person, keen on various “advanced” ideas.
We lived in a tiny two-room apartment not far from the Novoslobodskaya metro station. In the evenings, many of my parents' friends would crowd into it. Dad, since his entire youth was connected with music - he graduated from a music school, and during his student years he played professionally in the rock band “Fourth Dimension”, he was familiar with many famous musicians and artists. Despite the age difference, he was friends with Alexander Lazarev and Svetlana Nemolyaeva.
They always set him as an example for their son. Shurik Lazarev is only seven years younger than my father. And they became friends. When I was born, Shurik became my godfather. And not in a formal way: he was seriously interested in what was happening in my life, he treated me very warmly, talked, and taught me wisdom. We still communicate now.
At the age of three, I, the only and beloved child, experienced my first serious shock. One day a whimpering bundle was brought into the house.
“This is your sister,” said mom. - Look how beautiful she is.
I didn't like my sister:
- Where is the beauty? Her face is wrinkled!
Now mom spent the whole day spinning around this eternally dissatisfied doll. I was terribly jealous, I made it up different ways how to get rid of it. At first I wanted to flush it down the toilet - I was caught when I was carrying Alinka to the toilet. An attempt to throw it into the garbage chute also failed - the parents were on alert. It seemed to me that my sister had stolen their love from me. I demanded attention, I sought it with everyone accessible ways: capricious, rowdy, fought. The “crown number” was a headbutt to the stomach. It happened to guests, doctors at the clinic, even just passers-by. Since then, I have had a reputation as a “difficult child” in my family.
My rapidly deteriorating character did not really frighten my mother. She had her own ideas about raising children and was sure that everything would level out as soon as her son grew up. So that I could get used to taking care of my sister, she enrolled Alinka and me in the children’s ensemble “Fidgets.” I was five, Alina was two. I quickly got used to it and became a soloist. But my mother’s idea to “make friends” with my sister and I did not work. When Alina grew up, our hatred became mutual. Adults are at the threshold - we are in a fight. We had nowhere to get away from each other: we lived in one room with a bunk bed. Every evening they fought for the more prestigious top shelf. In the end, the parents got tired of it and suggested making a schedule: who sleeps upstairs and when. Now I was blissful there for two weeks, and my sister for two.
In the early nineties, our lives began to change. After the putsch, my father, who at that time already had the rank of major, left the Ministry of Internal Affairs and went into business, in which he was very successful. Money appeared, and my mother decided that my sister and I should get an education in England. I was nine, Alina was six. We didn’t want to go to any England. But my mother was adamant: “You can’t live without language now.”
British schools are either praised or reviled last words. The truth, as usual, is somewhere in the middle. Not paradise, of course, but also not a “Dickensian” nightmare, where children eke out a half-starved existence and are subjected to beatings.
Our school outside Leeds was surrounded high fence. At one end of the courtyard there is a women's building, at the other - a men's building. The huge bedrooms for eight people had bunk beds. In English I only knew thank you and goodbye. This was clearly not enough to communicate with the guys. That's when I realized that my sister was my own person. However, the rules at school were strict. We met only during classes, or rather during breaks. They threw themselves on each other's necks. Both my sister and I experienced separation from our parents, especially my mother, very hard. At night, when the neighbors fell asleep, I cried and asked, looking at the dark ceiling, “Mom, please take me away from here!” And Alina too. We won't fight anymore. Just take us!”
But my mother did not appear, entrusting us to the care of an English curator who lived in Leeds. Apparently, our parents believed that their visits would prevent us from adapting.
In a parallel class I found a Russian boy. And immediately stuck to him. Egor was already fluent in English and, taking pity on his unfortunate compatriot, took me under his wing. But I still continued to miss my parents and one day I persuaded a new friend to run away. The plan was this: get to the city, find my curator, and call her parents - let them fly out urgently. I was sure that they simply didn’t know how bad it was for us here.
We managed to get out of the school gates and walk about two hundred meters. And then the school guard caught up with the fugitives in a car... We had a noticeable uniform: gray trousers and bright red jackets. It can be easily seen from afar. Hitting the road in such clothes is like escaping from an American prison in an orange prison uniform. But does a nine-year-old really think about this?
The principal threatened to expel us from school if we continued our attempts to escape. To which Yegor said: “Get this bore away from me. I can’t see Topalov crying anymore. It’s all his fault!”
So, because of a stupid escape, I lost my only friend. However, our adventure turned out to be not entirely pointless. The teachers reported to my mother about my misconduct. And at the end academic year, taking us to Moscow for the holidays, she said: “You won’t study here anymore. I'll think of something."
Alinka and I were happy: goodbye, hated prison! But in August, my mother again began to pack us for England. She did not want to give up the idea of giving her children a classical British education. And even dad couldn’t convince her.
- I spoke with Vlad, their curriculum lags behind the Russian one. Especially in mathematics.
“Vlad never liked mathematics,” my mother stubbornly insisted. “You know very well, he is a humanitarian to the core.” He just needs general development. - He can easily receive it here too.
— In England, children will be taught horse riding and good manners. By the way, this is most important to Vlad, you yourself know what kind of character he has.
“He has your character,” answered the father. — My mood changes every five minutes.
- But he is kind! - Mom flared up.
We had never heard parents raise their voices at each other before. But now the quarrels have become business as usual. And in their conversations it constantly came up female name- Marina.
“She is my secretary and assistant,” my father argued to my mother.
“Is that why you spend more time with her than with your family?” - Mom urged.
- I love you, I love children. I work a lot, I do everything so that you don’t need anything!
“I could also work, but for the sake of the family, for your sake, I remained a housewife!”
- You are a woman.
- And who is she? work unit?
- Tanya, stop it!
Something happened to my father that often happens to successful, wealthy men. They inevitably become the object of hunting. At every step they are pursued by girls who are ready to do anything to arrange their destiny. Few people can resist temptation... Father was no exception. Moreover, he was left to his own devices: my mother, frightened by my depression and running away from my first school, now lived with us for a long time in England.
My sister and I loved it in Harrogate. Alinka devoted all her time to her studies, and I found my first love.
Charlotte studied in a parallel class and did not pay any attention to me. Russians at school were generally treated as second-class citizens. However, not only to Russians, but also to all non-English: Koreans, Japanese, Italians. I told a friend that I was in love, and he advised: “Write a note. If it turns out that she doesn’t like you at all, at least you won’t worry in vain.”
And then I wrote to Charlotte that I loved her and didn’t know what to do about it...
He handed over the message during recess. I was shaking during class. And then the bell rang and I saw Charlotte. She smiled at me!
We started corresponding. We walked together during breaks. Once they were sitting next to each other, silent, and suddenly touched each other’s knees. I blushed and moved away. Later a note came: “Why didn’t you talk to me?” - “I was afraid that you would be offended. You were silent too.”
Meanwhile, my friends proudly shared their “victories”: everyone had already managed to kiss a girl named Jowsey. In order not to be a black sheep, I kissed her too. But I didn't like it at all.
At the end of the year my mother said:
- Dad is right. If you stay in England for at least another year, you will never be able to catch up with your peers in Russia. You need to either finish school here or return to Moscow. Choose.
And indeed, I learned the language in three years, but otherwise I returned from Foggy Albion a fool. There, in the sixth grade, they studied the division of fractions, but here they were already extracting square roots. I didn't know how to approach them. I had to stay every day for additional classes in algebra, geometry, Russian... Of course, there was little joy.
But something else was much worse. When Alina and I left for England, we had a family, and when we returned, there was practically no family.
My parents argued every day. A spark was enough for a scandal to break out. Mom suffered from her father’s infidelities, but she also did not remain in debt. Eventually another man appeared in her life and she left for him.
My sister and I were so tired of scandals that when we learned about the divorce, we breathed a sigh of relief. The true scale of the disaster that befell us was not immediately revealed. The parents acted, as it seemed to them, sensibly: they divided the children. Mom believed that her son needed a male upbringing, and left me to my father. And she took her sister with her. I became very close to Alinka during the years I spent in England. And now I’ve lost both her and my mother at once. Mom completely stopped caring for me. We hardly saw each other, sometimes we only talked on the phone:
— Vladyush, how are you doing?
- Fine.
- How are your studies?
- Fine.
That's all communication is. Dad was also always busy and had no time for me.
“Loneliness, like a tenant, has moved into our former house" I will write this later and on a different occasion, but these feelings are from there, from that time.
I couldn't shake the feeling of abandonment. I was offended by my parents, but gradually I got used to it, and I even began to like this kind of life: no control, do what you want. Now I didn’t call my mother for weeks, or even months, and had fun in the company of friends. The closest of them was Sergei Lazarev. He was already studying then acting at the Moscow Art Theater School and was an indisputable authority for me. No matter what happened between us later, I loved him, and will always love him as a brother, as a loved one.

I woke up on Monday and realized that I couldn’t speak, and on Friday there was a concert and the musicians were rehearsing with all their might. I was taken to the clinic, and, naturally, before doing anything, the doctors take a blood test. For a long time they could not believe that these were my tests; they thought that they had messed up something. I was then told that I had the heart of a forty-year-old man, an enlarged liver and a catastrophe with the blood, immunity, to put it mildly, was zero, the bone marrow at that time did not produce the required number of cells to regenerate them. I was forced to tell the doctors everything, but this was not a drug treatment clinic. I ended up continuing to sniff. And I was treated in this clinic, and the doctors said that there was no point in this and that I had to “decide for myself.” And a year ago I was forced to admit that I simply could not do anything about it,” he said. At the same time, the singer realized that he was a drug addict. Then the body could not stand it - due to drug abuse, the kidney began to fail.
He even thought about suicide. “I spent two weeks in the hospital on painkillers... I once thought about “going out of the window”, and I realized that only for the first week after this they would worry, and then they would say that he was weak and could not overcome himself. For me it's the same as losing. And I would like to be a worthy and strong person, first of all before myself. The concept of what kind of person you are does not depend on what people think about you. When you stand in front of a mirror, you can answer all your questions. Walking around and saying that I am strong and can do anything is weakness. I realized that I don’t want to be weak, this is a test that God sent me, and either I will get through it or I won’t. Therefore, now I am under the supervision of specialists, the main course of treatment has already been completed, and now I am restoring my body. This is a very difficult process, psychologically difficult,” the artist shared.
Topalov's solo career
After the band broke up, music did not disappear from the biography of Vlad Topalov. He continued to saturate his personal life with new projects and soon began solo career. In the photo below, Vlad is filming a video for his solo project. In his first album, Vlad recorded hits that he performed together with Lazarev. Topalov sang them alone no worse than in the company of his ex best friend. Plus, the soloist added several of his new songs to the album, which pleased his fans. He showed that he can still sing alone and does it great. Next are several more successful albums, some of them entirely in English.
Vlad sings mainly about love - this suits his role perfectly. But music is not Topalov’s only occupation. The singer takes part in theatrical productions and does it successfully. Roles in the theater, and then in cinema, also bring the soloist not only good income, but also complete satisfaction. Topalov starred in several comedies. It is worth noting that after performing his roles, there was a significant increase in the army of fans of the newly-minted actor.
Personal life
The personal life of Vlad Topalov is a separate page of his biography, and his many fans were especially worried about the question: when will the famous womanizer get a legal wife?
Vlad had affairs varying degrees storminess with Yulia Volkova from Tatu, Anastasia Stotskaya, model Lopyreva, but he officially got married only in 2015.
Vlad’s wife was Ksenia Danilina, a girl from a very wealthy family who creates luxury clothing brands. It seemed that here it was - a happy page in personal life, turning point biographies, because in the photo Vlad Topalov and his bride looked absolutely happy, and the media started talking about the fact that the couple was seriously planning to have children.
Unfortunately, the reality turned out to be far from the rosy ideal. Already in 2017, the couple announced their divorce. Their problems began back in 2016, they even broke up for a while, then reunited again, but now the final point in the relationship has been set.
Topalov himself spoke rather vaguely about the reasons for the separation: they were in a hurry, they were not made for each other, they could not cope with everyday problems.
There were also rumors that the whole point was that there were problems conceiving children, and Vlad really wanted a son. It is known that the divorce took place peacefully, without scandals or reproaches, and Vlad and Ksenia continue to maintain friendly relations.
Vlad Topalov now
Contrary to rumors, Vlad Topalov is not going to end his musical career. He released two new singles – “Parallel” and “Got Me”, which did not go unnoticed.
The year 2018 was marked by a meeting of old “sworn friends”: Vlad Topalov and Sergey Lazarev, finally, after many years of conflict, decided to forget old grievances and met like old friends.
Appeared on Instagram joint photos graphs and mutual confessions of eternal friendship. The fans' hearts sparked with hope: suddenly star singers will they go on stage together again?
As for changes in personal life, the information received is contradictory. So it became known that Vlad began a new relationship with Regina Todorenko, the former host of the TV show “Heads and Tails.”
On her Instagram, Regina posted photos together and accompanied them with comments that she was in love and lost her head. The couple met at the play “Put Your Wife in a Pawn Shop,” in which they play the main roles. It is still difficult to say whether this relationship will last.
Vlad’s life is a good illustration of the thesis that the life of a star is never easy and unambiguous. An early bright takeoff can be replaced by a decline in popularity and many years of silence, the enthusiasm of fans is combined with the malicious criticism of envious people, numerous love affairs don't bring happiness. And here, as in boxing, the ability to take a punch is important. Vlad Topalov survived, did not break, and remained on stage. He managed to overcome addictions. There is hope that there will also be new songs and new roles in films, TV series and on the theater stage.
