He was 14, he was nice, cheerful, handsome, but the most ordinary guy. I liked older guys back then
Victoria recalls with a smile.
And even then, at the age of 12, she was already beautiful, which is what I immediately told her: “Vicky, I will definitely marry you!”
David adds.

Further in this story the appropriate phrase is: “Years have passed...”. The young people have matured. We got ourselves accounts on a social network, started communicating on Facebook, global network good friends and one day, through mutual friends, we ended up in the same company. That meeting, which happened about five years ago, became the starting point for their modern history: unexpectedly for themselves, both Victoria and David realized that there is no one closer, dearer, and those tender feelings that they experience for each other are not memories of a teenage crush, but a serious, adult feeling.

Victoria and David got married a month and a half ago in America - the official registration of the marriage took place in the suburbs of New York, in the Hamptons, on June 1. A few weeks later in Monaco they became husband and wife according to Jewish custom. At the end of the traditional ceremony, David crushed right foot glass wrapped in a towel, and the guests shouted in unison: “Mazal Tov!”, translated - “Happy fate!”
Dusk fell over Monte Carlo, and guests slowly began to move into the Sporting Club celebration hall, located next to the hotel. A spacious hall with a stage and a long terrace, which offers panoramic views of Monaco and the bay of the Ligurian Sea, became the ideal place for a big celebration. The already wonderful mood was supported by the musicians of A"Studio, SEREBRO, Ivan Dorn, the famous American hip-hop artist and producer Jean Wyclef, as well as the host of the evening Nikolai Baskov.
Successful women and handsome men! Greet the newlyweds! - proclaimed Basque. Victoria and David appeared on stage in the spotlight. And Nikolai continued:
And I immediately want to invite you to the stage outstanding composer and his wife, the beautiful Igor and Olga Krutykh. Cool wedding! Cool family!
Igor Yakovlevich noted Baskov’s sense of humor and addressed the audience with words of gratitude:
Thank you for coming thousands of kilometers to share with us the joy of today. Our family is very indebted to you. Of course, the entry of a new member into our family is not an easy process. But when David came and for the first ten minutes he talked incessantly about how my wife Olga was the most beautiful woman in the world, and I am the best composer and he listens only to my music, then, you understand: he immediately came to court. And now in any conflict he has with Vika, we take his side. I want them to be healthy and happy, to give birth to grandchildren, and to always have laughter in their house, like now.
The mother of the bride Olga Krutaya wished Victoria and David children: My dears! I love you very much, I simply adore you. Vika, you are everything to me - my life, my happiness! They told me today: “It’s amazing how easily you give your daughter away in marriage!” So, I’m not giving away my daughter - I’m accepting my son. And I accept the title of mother-in-law. And I will be happy if I soon become a grandmother. I wish you that your life will be as beautiful and extraordinary as today. At this moment, Igor Krutoy quietly said: “How is your life with me?” “Yes, like mine,” Olga answered just as insinuatingly.
The first toast was followed by a dance of the bride and groom, traditional, but in this case not quite ordinary. The young ones were accompanied by Igor Krutoy. He sat down at the black piano, and everyone heard the words of a familiar song: Forever, I hug you./ Forever, I saw you and melted./ Your gaze, like an angel, gives light./ You leave a mark in the sky./ It’s impossible to be careful.. .
"Women can cry!" - Baskov allowed. And Vladimir Vinokur called the next five hours of the holiday “perhaps best concert Igor Krutoy." And it’s true: the guests were not bored for a minute. The toasts were followed by performances by the artists, and, it seems, absolutely all the guests danced to their hits. During short intermissions, a video was shown on large plasma screens. In one, a voiceover told the love story of Victoria and David.
In another, the newlyweds, made up as if they were nearly a hundred years old, themselves recalled how they met and fell in love with each other. In the third, Victoria and David were congratulated while walking with a baby stroller by Tatyana Berkovich’s close friend, Gosha Kutsenko, who recently became a father for the second time.
According to Jewish tradition, the wedding ceremony is usually followed by a light kosher dinner and Jewish songs are performed. However, since the newlyweds were congratulated by a large international group of friends and relatives, on this day both the Jewish “Mazal Tov” and the Russian “Gorko!” were heard, and on the tables there were dishes from different cuisines of the world - pancakes with red and black caviar, foie gras, medallions beef, risotto with white truffles, sea bass with champagne sauce, tomatoes with Italian mozzarella and much, much more.

At exactly midnight, four chefs rolled out a five-tier cake weighing 50 kilograms into the hall. Victoria and David cut the confectionery masterpiece together and went out onto the terrace, where volleys of festive fireworks were heard.
In 1979, Igor Krutoy married for the first time. His wife Elena gave him a son, Nikolai. However, the marriage did not last long. Now, according to Krutoy, he does not communicate with ex-wife. “We don’t have a warm relationship, I won’t lie. But we have a common son and two granddaughters with whom she often communicates,” the composer said.
ON THIS TOPIC
In 1995, Krutoy married for the second time. His wife Olga gave birth to his daughter Alexandra. The Cool couple is considered one of the most harmonious in domestic show business. However, the composer does not hide the fact that not everything is always smooth in their relationship: "Every family has its own problems, there is no need to idealize. And we have problematic situations, but we've been together for over 20 years."
The composer admitted that his 82-year-old mother Svetlana Semyonovna is a reference point for him. " Imagine, at the age of 80 she learned how to use a computer, learned English language, is now reading novels on it. She decided to get a driver’s license, but I told her: calm down, half the city remains to be demolished..." - quotesCool "Interlocutor".
The popular composer does not hide the fact that he admires the love of life of his elderly mother:
“She has a thirst for life, for new knowledge, and this gives her the opportunity to look younger than her age. Although, when you ask her how she feels, she answers: according to her passport data.”
According to the composer, the most important thing for him in life is the future of his family. "I get so much joy from every child, every grandchild. And God smiled at me. I am one of my family who has reached a different material and social level. And my task is to make it easier for children. Not like me - I spent decades trying to get to Moscow, get a room in a communal apartment, registration, howl with joy that you have four walls... I hope that life will be easier for them. I do everything for this: so that they receive a good education and in everyday life so that they don’t have problems. And at the same time, taking care of them gives me great joy. And of course, it is important for me that my mother is alive. As long as our parents are alive, we are children. So that she can live as fully as possible. And she does just that and makes me happy. And so that my friends are alive and well,” concluded Krutoy.

After graduation, Igor had to decide on future profession, then his mother advised him to try to enroll in School of Music. But to pass the entrance exams, you had to learn to play the piano. Therefore, the young man postponed his enrollment for one year and spent the whole year mastering a new instrument.
Way to success
In 1970, the young man entered the Kirovograd Music School in the theoretical department. Having graduated with honors, the musician decided to apply to the Kyiv Conservatory, but his efforts were unsuccessful.

For several years, Krutoy’s songs did not appear on this channel; the famous “New Wave” and “Song of the Year” disappeared from the airwaves. The events that occurred after the TV project “Star Factory-4” were to blame. The show's low ratings made the general director very angry.
Then he became angry with Igor Krutoy, who undertook to produce some people from the Factory, although this was not provided for in the Channel One contract.
Then Krutoy was given an ultimatum - the producer must provide the channel with half of the program of the “New Wave” and “Song of the Year” competitions, and also give the leadership of the Muz TV channel to Channel One. The producer did not agree. As a result, the conflict was resolved only several years later.
During this time, Krutoy still had to sell 75% of the shares of the Muz TV channel to Alisher Usmanov. As Igor himself says in an interview, due to constant bullying, he began to become apathetic; he did not want to create or release anything. Therefore, during the conflict with the First, the producer did not release or write anything. However, it was not only problems with the TV channel that haunted Igor Krutoy.
