Russian singers list of famous men. The best singers of Russia
Modern domestic show business is a special and in some way separated from the rest of civilization world, in which slightly different people live, with their own worries, affairs and quirks. Russian performers are in most cases persons, albeit without a world name, but quite famous in the vastness of their land and within their native state, and perhaps within the neighboring countries too. This article will tell you about popular and in-demand Russian performers over the last decade.
First echelon
So, let's get started, then we will describe Russian performers. The list is opened by old-timers national stage. Leonid Agutin, Nikolai Baskov, Oleg Gazmanov, Valery Leontyev, Alexander Rosenbaum, singer Slava, Lolita, the groups “Para Normalnykh”, “Mumiy Troll” were quite popular at the beginning of the 2000s and were famous for their armies of devoted fans, but with the onset of the second decade of the century they the fame has faded a little. Today these artists can only be seen at the most traditional concerts and musical evenings. The same cannot be said about Philip Kirkorov, Valery Meladze, singers Natalie and Anita Tsoi, and the groups “Zveri” and “Splin”. These artists are in demand and loved by audiences even today. Their concerts still attract millions of fans. And all this despite the fact that they also have the right to call themselves “old-timers of the stage.”
The youth
Russian performers are also representatives of a new generation. Their popularity today is at its peak, their discs are selling faster than others, their tours are scheduled five to seven years in advance. There are a lot of young Russian pop singers. Their list includes several hundred names and pseudonyms, the most famous are Dima Bilan, Sergey Lazarev, rapper Timati, his protégé - Yegor Creed, Andrey Grizzly, Alexey Vorobyov, Dan Balan, Dominic Joker, Irakli, Max Korzh, Denis Maidanov, Tamerlan, Vyacheslav Basyul, Ani Lorak, Ivan Dorn, Nyusha, Pelageya, Yulia Savicheva, Anna Sedakova, Vera Brezhneva, Tati, Elena Temnikova, Polina Gagarina, Elvira T, Maxim, Loya, Svetlana Loboda, Stas Kostyushkin, Noise MC, Yuliana Karaulova, "Pizza" ", "Silver", M-Band, "23:45", "Banderos", "30.02", Quest Pistols, "Degrees", quartet "Heroes", "China", trio "VIA GRA" and many others.
Voice
Russian performers today also come from many popular television shows. The project with the highest ratings on domestic television- show “The Voice”. This platform has produced wonderful singers such as Gela Guralia, Elina Chaga, Nargiz Zakirova and many others.
Russian show business is replenished with a bright representative of this separate group national pop singer can be called Victoria Petrik. The girl is the winner of the world famous Children's New Wave festival. This is certainly a worthy replacement for the old-timers Russian show business. Now you know which Russian performers are most in demand at the moment.
This time I made Top 25 the most beautiful Russian singers, which presents Russian pop singers, as well as one Opera singer. When compiling this rating, I took into account external data, photogenicity, without paying attention to the awards and merits of the girls in the professional field.

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 I went to earn money - I sold tomato paste and pasta at the market. “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 controls her own budget 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 had a terrible complex about being overweight. 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 set of sports exercises that I developed myself.” Since the TV presenter tested each recommendation on herself, it’s worth a try.
5th place. Alsou
In 2006, after the birth of her first daughter Safina, the singer became interested in painting. “I’m good at portraits,” 31-year-old Alsou admits to StarHit. “You manage to capture something important in a person—the look, the eyes.” Back at school, I wrote an excellent exam paper about portraits in different techniques- from ink to oil." Today there are already so many works that she dreams of her own exhibition, which will include both a self-portrait and a portrait of her father. In the spring of 2012, the star put up a portrait of Vladimir Vysotsky for auction; it was bought for $16 thousand. Alsou donated all the proceeds to help hospitals and boarding schools.
6th place. Ani Lorak
When her husband opens another restaurant in Kyiv, 35-year-old Ani Lorak often participates in interior design and menu selection. “The restaurant business needs a creative approach no less than the stage. There are no trifles,” the singer is sure. Neither tours nor rehearsals prevent the star from discussing ideas with her husband. Not long ago, Murat opened his fourth restaurant in the city center - Famous karaoke. 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 famous guests of the restaurant, no one objected; on the contrary, they posed with pleasure.
7th place. Albina Dzhanabaeva
“Albina, will you really work for us?” – high school students from one of the capital’s schools asked the VIA Gra soloist. But the singer simply did an internship with them as a student at the Faculty of Psychology of the Moscow City Psychological and Pedagogical University. Led for a month
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 last years she was offered the roles of heroes with complex characters. 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. The works resemble multi-colored candies, are made in Hong Kong, and in Moscow stores cost from 8 thousand rubles.
9th place. Ekaterina Klimova
There are few days off in the schedule of 36-year-old Ekaterina Klimova. Now the actress is starring in two projects at once - “Mistresses” and “Plague”. She recently divorced her husband, actor Igor Petrenko. Three children remained with her. Thank you, mom and nannies help. But Katya, as soon as filming ends, flies home - and stops rushing beyond the threshold. Together with 12-year-old Lisa, 7-year-old Matvey and 5-year-old Korney, he watches a movie, discusses the actions of the heroes, asks his sons how they studied English and karate. “We have complete harmony at home,” the actress assures.
10th place. Ksenia Sobchak
Having entered the “TOP Beauties of Moscow 2013”, Ksenia was amazed: “What a blatant lie!” The 32-year-old TV presenter prefers to be described as “stylish and modern personality“- that’s what the New York Times recently called her, after appreciating Ksenia’s look at Haute Couture Fashion Week in Paris. Sobchak posts on social networks both fashionable “looks” and examples of the terrible bad taste of some ladies. And personally leads 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 photos with the singer as a souvenir and wished them a good trip.
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. Adeline has been considered a child prodigy since childhood. At the age of 13, she was able to perform the most complex elements that not every adult can do. 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!”
13th place. Anna Sedokova
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: in new photo shoot, for example, Vera Brezhneva took part. 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. It turned out that Christina enjoys cooking. Garik is used to eating simply: for breakfast - fried eggs and cereal with milk and at any time of the day - fried potatoes. 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 wouldn’t mind watching football on TV either with her husband or even without him.
16th place. Sasha Savelyeva
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. Khodchenkova had an episode, but participation in such a high-profile project made her one of the most
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 female viper.
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! Nothing is
I couldn’t help it.”
19th place. Anna Snatkina
Dancing appeared in Snatkina’s life in 2006 - when the actress was invited to the television show “Dancing with the Stars”, and together with Evgeny Grigorov she took first place. During the project, the participants - stars and professional dancers - had to train a lot. Sometimes the performance lasted until the night. 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. Anna still spends an hour to two hours every evening on her favorite activity. Such a pastime helps her not only stay fit and toned, but also maintain a good mood.
20th place. Elena Podkaminskaya
The 35-year-old star of the series “Kitchen” loves experiments. Not only will she not refuse, for example, a nude photo shoot, but she will also come up with a lot herself
interesting details. Once, having agreed to shoot for MAXIM magazine, Podkaminskaya offered to arrange it in the scenery of a bathroom and bedroom. “I wanted everything to look natural, as if the heroine was caught in a place where you can really walk without clothes,” Elena explained to StarHit. By the way, the first people she showed the photographs to were the actress’s parents - the strictest judges. They liked it.
21st place. Elizaveta Boyarskaya
The actress was very worried when she was asked to organize “Art Surf” - the first in her life creative evening with reading poetry, of which 28-year-old Lisa knows a great many. And before going to the resort area of St. Petersburg Komarovo, Lisa rehearsed, reciting poems several times to her only viewer at that time - her two-month-old son Andrei. Pushkin, Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva... The loudest applause during her concert sounded after Apollo Grigoriev’s poem “I love you... What to do - it’s my fault!”
22nd place. Oksana Fedorova
36-year-old Oksana has repeatedly donated money for the maintenance of churches; she often visits the Moscow Church of Elijah the Prophet in Obydenky Lane. “Here I am distracted from the hustle and bustle and feel peace,” she tells StarHit. – In case of any difficulties, I approach my beloved miraculous icon Mother of God « Unexpected joy“I pray for the health of children and loved ones.” Three years ago, the entire country spread around the recognition of the winner of the Miss Universe contest that she was “begging for a child” and went to the Diveyevo Monastery. And, as Oksana now likes to say, “by faith it will be given.” In the spring of 2012, a son, Fedor, was born, and in the summer of 2013, a daughter, Lisa. “Only when I became a mother did I gain self-confidence,” Oksana admits.
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. In Moscow she had to have her throat treated. But for her heroic performance at the pole, Guseva was included in the Russian Book of Records.
24th place. Lera Kudryavtseva
Recently, 43-year-old Lera Kudryavtseva voiced the Warface project, an online game that is gaining popularity. Gives commands to the fighters, explaining to them the intricacies of the tasks. And this is not her first experience - in 2007 she voiced the heroine of the cartoon “Honey Plot”, in 2010 she “gave her voice” to the she-wolf from the cartoon “Alpha and Omega: The Fang Brothers”, and in 2012 – the heroine of “Cinderella: Full speed ahead!”... “Each voice acting is a game of intonation, the ability to express vivid emotions, a very exciting process!” – Lera admits to StarHit.
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 dialed then overweight, and boxing allowed me to quickly lose them and pump up my 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!”
Roman Litvinov, better known as Mujuice, is perhaps the most notable electronic music artist in Russia of the last decade. The artist has more than a dozen full-length releases, a minority of which were recorded with live vocals.
The last such album was Amore e morte, released last year. The release got lost in the flow of new music and did not become as successful as, for example, Cool Cool Death!, released ten years ago. Despite this, Mujuice is still popular today; musicians such as Zemfira Ramazanova do not hesitate to collaborate with him, and the performer himself is a welcome participant in major Russian and foreign festivals.
2. Antokha MC
“Antokha MC” is a musician from Moscow who started by studying in music school in the “Trumpet” class, and now one of the most promising Russian hip-hop artists.
In Anton’s work you can find echoes of 5’nizza and Mikhey, but in general it is quite original - it is not hip-hop in the classical sense of the term. The music is influenced by funk and reggae, and an additional highlight is the accompaniment, which in some songs is played by a trumpet.
3. Medjikul
The absence of the St. Petersburg group “Medzhikul” in radio and TV rotation is quite possibly a temporary phenomenon. In their debut album“All about Marfa” has everything to please almost any listener: you can dance to both incendiary and slow dancing, they want to sing along, while the music itself is very far from the tired pop music.
“Medzhikul” is perhaps the first group in Russia that performs music in the genre of rhythm and blues of the 70s - the so-called Motown Sound. St. Petersburgers skillfully combine the features of this genre with modern musical techniques and funny lyrics in Russian, as a result their compositions sound fresh and familiar at the same time.
4. Harajiev Smokes Virginia!
A group from Kazan, which started in 2009 with killer math-rock, now performing indie rock with elements of pop music. The group has six full-fledged releases, each of which will probably remain forever in the memory of my smartphone.
There are only three people in the group, the main instrumental core consists of drums, bass, guitar and vocals. HSV records also use other instruments, but this minimum set is enough to perform songs at concerts. If you like playful and romantic guitar music, do not understand English lyrics and have no prejudices about high-pitched male vocals, then Harajiev Smokes Virginia! you'll like it.
5.Motorama
Rostov-on-Don gave fans of hip-hop “Casta”, and fans of modern independent music - the couple Vlad and Irina Parshin, who were at the origins of the projects Motorama, “Morning” and “Bergen Kremer” (“Summer in the City”). Motorama is considered to be the main project of the musicians: the band’s discography includes four full-length and two mini-albums, and the tour map extends far beyond Russia.
Motorama's work is usually classified as post-punk and twee-pop. Unpretentious progressions and melodies, a 4/4 time signature and minimalistic accompaniment make Motorama's music simple and enjoyable.
6. Thank you
"Musical group from Moscow" is full text annotations in the “Thank you” community “VKontakte”. The participants do not try to show off their diversity of style tags and do not compare themselves with the hegemons of the genres. The band's style is really hard to describe without being boring. musical terms. Speaking in simple words, “Spasibo” - playful and sometimes experimental guitar rock with intelligent lyrics in their native language.
7. BCH
BCH is a project of Moscow musician Viktor Isaev. It all started with the album “Minion”, released in 2014, unusual both in form and content. Quality R&B and soul are not very common in Russian music, and BCH not only became a good alternative to James Blake, but also released an original experimental release. “Minion” is the album where very non-Russian music is combined with the most Russian lyrics - poems by poets of the Silver Age.
The latest release of the BCH “Hellenic Secret” was recorded with original lyrics. The music itself has also undergone changes: the songs are different from each other and combine echoes of many directions - from trip-hop to retrowave.
8. Pinkshinyultrablast
Pinkshinyultrablast is a shoegaze band from St. Petersburg and the only Russian band that Pitchfork likes to write about. Shoegaze - genre alternative rock, which originated in England in the late 80s. Music of this style is characterized by specific work with guitar effects and the detached behavior of musicians on stage, absorbed in this work.
In Russia, the boom of shoegaze music in the 80s and 90s went unnoticed, which is why this genre is still not popular among a wide audience. Pinkshinyultrablast do not count on success with Russian listeners: they give concerts abroad much more often than in Russia.
9. On-The-Go
A group from Togliatti, which started in hometown from killer dance-rock and later changed both genre and place of residence. After moving to the capital, the Togliatti residents were taken under the wing of the Xuman Records label, and the very first release, In The Wind, marked the beginning of the group’s creativity in a new style. Now On-The-Go is a Moscow band working in the indie-pop genre and sounding not at all Russian.
10. Sirotkin
Moscow bard Sergei Sirotkin proves year after year that in Russia you can become popular performer just playing beautiful music. The pursuit of fashion, the desire to turn creativity into bold experiments - this is not about Sirotkin. Here there is only a guitar and a young man with a beautiful voice.
