1 place. Vera Brezhneva
The 32-year-old singer and actress is a master at... counting. She grew up in a family where every penny was saved, and with early years went to earn money - traded at the market tomato paste and pasta. “When guys I knew passed by, of course, it was awkward,” Vera recalled. “But I tried not to pay attention to the sidelong glances and grins. I knew that I needed to help mom and dad.” It was then that she learned to count quickly and clearly for the rest of her life, and after school she went to study to become an accountant. I didn’t graduate from university, but knowledge of accounting still helps. Vera associates a lot with numbers, remembers almost all the dates of significant events in her life, phone numbers, car numbers, etc. The singer helps the sisters keep financial records in their clothing store The Box in Kyiv. And she herself controls the budget of her own charitable foundation, “Ray of Faith.”
2nd place. Yulia Lipnitskaya
After the Olympics, many fans filled 16-year-old Yulia Lipnitskaya with poetry. “Entire collections were dedicated to her, and she, of course, was very touched,” the champion’s mother Daniela shared with StarHit over the phone. – We read everything with gratitude. Previously, Yulia was not interested in poetry, but now she has become involved. For example, I discovered the “rebellious” poems of Daria Sklyarova...”
Everyday training leaves the athlete almost no free time. She has no time to hang out with her friends or ride horses, and Yulia loves horse riding. But she still manages to read. As the mother says, her daughter recently discovered Bulgakov’s “The Master and Margarita” - she liked it!
3rd place. Olga Buzova
Somehow, out of curiosity, Olga “tried on” new images - Marilyn Monroe, Christina Aguilera. The experience was successful, but she admitted on social networks: “I like being myself more.” With every action, the 28-year-old TV presenter breaks stereotypes about blondes. It is no coincidence that she topped the rating of show business stars with the highest IQ on one of the Internet portals. She has no problems with ideas on how to make money: she came up with the clothing brand C&C by Olga Buzova and opened a jewelry store. From a participant in “House-2”, as she dreamed, she grew into a presenter. And she became the editor-in-chief of the magazine.

4th place. Ksenia Borodina
Looking at 31-year-old Ksenia Borodina, I can’t believe that just five years ago, after the birth of her daughter Marusya, the young mother and aspiring TV presenter was terribly complex about excess weight. I didn’t trust anyone to fix the situation – I sorted it out myself. As a result, the book “Losing Weight with Ksenia Borodina” appeared, where she openly admitted her own mistakes. Today Ksenia is preparing to publish another book about how to become beautiful. “I decided to talk about ways to quickly get yourself in order,” Ksenia shares with StarHit. - There is also a complex sports exercises, which I developed myself."

From the very first day, many stars – good friends of Anya – loved to relax there. And when the idea came to her to decorate one wall with chic black and white portraits of the restaurant’s famous guests, no one objected; on the contrary, they posed with pleasure.
7th place. Albina Dzhanabaeva

classes with junior classes, tested seniors... Attendance was one hundred percent! In February 2014, 34-year-old Dzhanabaeva received her diploma. She decided spontaneously to become a psychologist. In recent years, she has been offered roles of heroes with complex characters in cinema and theater. And she managed to cope with them, because now the psychology of people has ceased to be a mystery to her.
8th place. Tatiana Navka
Travel around eastern countries inspired the 39-year-old figure skater to create perfume. She began purchasing essential oils, combining them, achieving unique shades. The highlight of her fragrances is udu tree oil: a powerful aphrodisiac, which must be handled delicately so as not to overdo it. Several options have already been successful, it’s time to open a perfume store. This is what Tatyana is all about: no matter what she does, she will not back down until
will not become a champion, like in figure skating. And recently, together with designer Anastasia Gollandtseva and friend Lyudmila Mitvol, she released a collection of Sweet Stuff jewelry made of silver and semi-precious stones.

Sobchak posts on social networks both fashionable “looks” and examples of the terrible bad taste of some ladies. And he personally conducts fashion master classes, where he gives practical advice.
11th place. Kristina Orbakaite
The singer has been drawing sold-out crowds all over Russia for many years, but given her star status, she is very easy to communicate with and can find mutual language with anyone. One day, 43-year-old Christina and the musicians hit the road by bus. They were in a hurry for a sound check, exceeded the speed limit and were stopped by the traffic police. The singer’s director began to persuade the inspectors: “Please let me go, we’re taking Kristina Orbakaite.” They responded: “Come on, lie, we just saw her on TV!” And then Christina appeared from the depths of the salon: “Hello, what happened?” The law enforcement officers froze in admiration. Then they asked for autographs, took photographs with the singer as a souvenir and wished them a safe journey.
12th place. Adeline Sotnikova
After winning the Olympics, figure skater Adelina Sotnikova is called “Legend at 17.” After all, at this age she became the first Olympic champion in women's single skating in Russian history.

Free time Sotnikova dedicates her work to cinema. Recently, on the advice of my mother Olga Dmitrievna and coach Elena Buyanova, I watched the films “Champions” and “Legend No. 17”. “It seems to me that coaches should feel students exactly the same way as Anatoly Tarasov - Valeria Kharlamova,” Adelina admired after “Legend...”. – And like Elena Germanovna – me. Before the Olympics, Tatyana Anatolyevna Tarasova also advised me. Now I understand who she is like – her father!”

The singer is imitated by thousands of fans. To teach them how to dress just as stylishly, the 31-year-old artist launched her own line last year fashionable clothes La story in casual style. Particularly popular is a sweatshirt with a large acid-colored heart and the inscription “Love -
this is all. Everything is love." Colleagues and friends support Anna: for example, Vera Brezhneva took part in a new photo shoot. Having gained a taste for it, Sedokova recently shared on social networks: “I began to develop a children’s clothing line that will be an absolute mini-copy of my adult collection.”
14th place. Polina Gagarina
Driving around Moscow in a snow-white Range Rover Evoque, Polina, a driver with 10 years of experience, nostalgically recalls the first car she drove at 18, a tiny Volkswagen Lupo: “I always liked the way I looked in it.” Five years later, she gave herself a Nissan Qashqai for her 23rd birthday – and happily showed off the spacious trunk, which contained a gym bag, dry cleaning, spare shoes, her son’s child seat, a soft airplane horseshoe pillow, a bath towel, and a volume of Omar’s poems. Khayyama... Not a car, but a second home.
15th place. Christine Asmus
The 26-year-old actress easily got used to the role of a married lady, housewife and mother: on January 5, she and Garik Kharlamov had a daughter, Anastasia.

But the wife tirelessly looks for something interesting. He often appears on online culinary forums, posting photographs of custard pancakes or delicious samosas that he prepares at home. She is not averse to watching football on TV - with her husband and even without him.

Two years ago, the singer started skiing. In January 2012, my husband, Kirill Safonov, suddenly suggested spending a vacation at a resort in Salzburg.
Sasha got used to trusting her husband: “I’m the kind of person who needs to follow someone, learn something new...” So he persuaded her to try. In Austria, having put on a ski suit and tried on boots with bindings, Sasha rolled down the shallowest hill - and was delighted: “Really cool!” It turned out that this sport burns extra calories much better than fitness.
17th place. Svetlana Hodchenkova
Svetlana is the only one Russian actress, who managed to break into Hollywood and loudly declare herself. It all started in 2011 with the thriller “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy!” with Gary Oldman and Tom Hardy.

the country's highest-paid actresses with a fee per day of filming of $4 thousand. By 2013, the figure had grown to $5 thousand before the actress starred
in the fantasy action film “Wolverine: Immortal” with Hugh Jackman and played one of the main roles – a viper woman.
18th place. Natalie
The singer of the hits “The Wind Blew from the Sea” and “Oh God, What a Man” admits: “I don’t work out in the gym, I feel sad in the company of iron.” She
I realized a long time ago that cleaning an apartment helps a woman stay in shape much better than exercise equipment. Especially if you wash the floor, crawling with a rag in all corners. Or you rub the windows, trying to reach the window - every muscle works. “Four years ago, when I was expecting the birth of my second son, a neighbor found me mopping the floors in the entrance and was dumbfounded: “Natasha, you’re an artist, and you’re also pregnant, what are you doing!” – the 40-year-old singer shared with StarHit. – And I had such a strange toxicosis, in which I liked the smell of wet cement!

I couldn’t help it.”

Despite this, “Dancing” inspired her so much that the artist still does not give up her classes and goes to the gym at every opportunity. “After winning the show, in addition to slow dancing, I have a weakness for Latin dances,” the 31-year-old actress tells StarHit.

23rd place. Ekaterina Guseva
Admired by the musical “Nord-Ost,” the polar explorers invited Ekaterina, the performer of one of the main roles, to the North Pole for a visit. 2002, at the Pole - 43°C, even a jumpsuit with eider down did not save me from the cold and wind. But, having hoisted a flag with the autographs of the troupe actors next to the station, Katya began to sing a song from the play: “Captains of our own destiny, it is the trumpet signal that calls us...” “How can one not sing if the soul asks!” – the 38-year-old actress later shared.

25th place. Angelica Agurbash
The singer only looks fragile and defenseless, but in fact she has been seriously engaged in boxing for 10 years! Interest in this sport appeared shortly after the birth of her third child, son Anastas. Angelica then gained extra pounds, and boxing allowed her to quickly lose them and pump up her arms and abs. The 44-year-old singer now finds time to “grind the pear.” It keeps you in great shape and relieves stress. “I definitely don’t need a bodyguard,” the singer shared with StarHit. “I can completely take care of myself!”
Man cannot live without music, his structure is so strange. Music and songs are always in our heads and souls throughout life. Who in Russia contributes to what we hear and what we listen to? Let's talk about “women who sing...”.
The youngest singers
The Russian stage today is “staffed”, and new young stars appear on it less and less often. Although, it is worth noting that our singers look so good on stage and screens that it is difficult to guess their age.
But just a couple of years ago, very young singers attacked the music charts. Largely thanks to the “Star Factory,” girls who were far from even reaching adulthood began to appear more and more often at concerts and on the radio. The Forge of Stars gave the stage Yulia Savichev, Victoria Daineko, Polina Gagarin and many other beautiful and talented singers. Today these girls have already achieved a lot: they have their own albums, awards, participation in the most prestigious competitions and charts. But, alas, age takes its toll, and they no longer make it into the top three of the “Youngest Singers of Russia 2015” rating.
Of course, it is indecent to find out and announce a woman’s age, so let’s talk only about three representatives of the fair sex with good vocal abilities. One can still not hide the age of these singers, but, on the contrary, be proud that the girls became famous at their age:
3. Yulia Parshuta (former member of the Yin-Yang group), a native of the resort city of Sochi. This year she turned 27 years old.
2. Nyusha (Anna Vladimirovna Shurochkina), place of birth in Moscow, will celebrate her 25th birthday in August of this year.
3. Nyuta Ranetka (Anna Dmitrievna Baidavletova) comes from Stavropol. This November, the talented and cheerful girl will turn 23 years old.
Honored and beloved singers of Russia
Everything comes and goes, but art and music live forever. Just as music, songs and singers whom we have known and loved for a very long time live in our hearts. For many they evoke fond memories of childhood, carefree youth or blooming youth. Their songs are stories of love, sadness, joy and destinies.

on Bali. Beginners should not go there: there are reefs nearby! At the height of the shooting, rescuers reported: a swell is heading towards us - a big wave. The group was in a hurry. Only one frame was missing - how the hero stands up full height On the desk. It was possible, of course, to do without him, but Danila always strives for the ideal. We waited for a favorable moment - a small wave. And finally Danila went to sea. Suddenly, a small wave rose and turned into a three-meter wave. In this case, the surfer must dive under it on the board. But, finding himself on the crest of a wave, Danila continued to work - and got to his feet! The film crew was speechless with horror as they saw him almost instantly blown off the board and spun around. "I feel like I'm in a
washing machine drum during spin cycle! - says Kozlovsky. “And the next wave also threw the T-shirt over my face!” More and more waves began to nail the actor to the reefs. He gathered his strength and rowed to the shore - and then he saw a drowning guy, almost unconscious. Risking his life, Danila swam to him and picked him up on his surfboard. So he and the tourist, who had miscalculated their strength, held out until the boat arrived. “The Australian rescuers, pulling us out of the water, said: “Crazy Russian!” – Danila laughs. “I answered them: “I want it again!”

In this article you will learn about the most famous, popular and sought-after pop artists in our country. They are very different - young or emerging, beautiful and unique, talented or not. But the public loves them, no matter what, be it a new hit or long legs.
Variety long-livers
These are the “oldest” singers in Russia. Photos of divas regularly throughout for long years appear in and yellow press, and crowds of fans are still hunting for their autographs. This list includes: Alla Pugacheva, Sofia Rotaru, Larisa Dolina, Kadysheva, Lyubov Uspenskaya, Irina Allegrova and Valeria. Of course, this is far from full list, this includes only those pop artists who are currently able to attract full houses at their concerts. Note: although Alla Pugacheva left the stage, she can return at any moment and gather a whole crowd of fans.
The most beautiful singers of Russia
This list includes those pop divas who don’t even have to sing. It’s enough just to go on stage, and millions of men’s hearts will skip a beat from such unearthly (and barely covered) beauty. Well, if they are also talented, have good voice, then nothing can resist this crushing force. So, the most beautiful singers in Russia are Vera Brezhneva, Pletneva, Zhanna Friske, Nyusha, Tatyana Kotova, Tanya Tereshina (group “Yin-Yang”), Sati Kazanova, Svetlana Svetikova, Valeria, Yulia Kovalchuk, Anna Semenovich. It is these divas who not only sing well, but also invariably attract male glances. Many of these singers starred for men's magazines: Playboy, Penthouse and other similar publications. And this once again serves as proof of their beauty.
The most popular singers in Russia
You can be both beautiful and talented, but only the desire of the audience to see a particular singer at a concert or to get her to a corporate event or private party is a real objective indicator of the star’s demand. And demand always creates supply, and the most sought-after artists receive the highest fees. However, I would like to note the fact that Russian singers, like their foreign colleagues, often inflate the amounts they receive for their performances. There are several reasons: firstly, the thought - “what if they give just that much”, secondly, self-promotion - “look how popular I am.” And, of course, the expectation of a purely psychological effect - for many people who “book” stars, the status of the performers is important, and not at all the quality of the songs. This is what many Russian singers take advantage of, asking hundreds of thousands of dollars for a half-hour performance accompanied by a soundtrack. Alla Pugacheva is considered the most expensive: she asks €250 thousand for 5 songs, and only on condition that she does not need to travel further than 500 km from Moscow. Next comes Elena Vaenga - she asks “only” €200 thousand for a forty-minute performance. Among younger generation You can mention the singer Elka - she charges €100 thousand. Zemfira can be ordered for €150 thousand. But the entire “Brilliant” group, wholesale, will cost only €20 thousand.
As a result, we can conclude: Russian singers do not yet reach the level of fees of world celebrities. And none of our stars can yet compare with Rihanna, who earned $8 million in one evening, Beyoncé ($2 million for performing at a private party on a yacht) or Christina Aguilera ($1 million in one hour).
