New interview with Buzova. New interview with Olga Buzova: about love under the gun of cameras, candidates for the role of boyfriend and leaving the stage for the sake of family

May 10, 2017

Having survived a painful divorce, the host of “House-2” does everything herself: she builds a career on the stage, reads “The Path to Success” seminars and even changes car tires. And everything works out!

Olga Buzova’s personal life collapsed rapidly. While fans were waiting for the TV presenter to make peace with football player Dmitry Tarasov,. Six months have passed. Tarasov managed to surprise with a deliberate demonstration of a new relationship that began with him even before the divorce, and Buzova... began to sing. Olga used the time and energy she freed from family troubles to realize her old dream. No one expected such a turn, so the reactions were different. Buzova says that she’s used to it: they love and hate her equally strongly.

— Olya, a week ago you announced your first solo concert in November in Moscow. Today I tried to buy a ticket: in the hall for two thousand people there were a few seats left in the boxes for 5-6 thousand rubles. Did you expect tickets to fly out so quickly?

- Many people are surprised. And I dreamed of becoming an artist since childhood. I often received offers to buy and perform a song, but I understood that pursuing a musical career was hard work. But last summer they showed me the song “To the Sound of Kisses,” and I realized that I wanted to sing it. I bought it, showed it to my close people, but everyone was unanimous: “Why the hell do you need this, the song is about nothing...” But if I get excited about an idea, it’s difficult to stop me. I recorded my first song while still married - it turns out that I sang to my future self: “Questions without answers, and tears not from the wind. We don’t hear each other, we burn like flares. And my nerves are strained, patience is not eternal...” That’s how fate turned out, it’s all in the past.

The song came out in November, I was in a difficult emotional state. Everyone was skeptical about my undertaking, except my family and friends. And then she stayed there for two weeks. I remember performing at a concert for Muz-TV and for the first time hearing fifteen hundred people singing with me. I left the stage and said to my assistant: “God, how I love being on stage, what a thrill I feel!” There is no turning back: no matter how the dogs bark, the caravan moves on. I sing and get incredible pleasure from it - I know that there are a huge number of people who are close to my work. I don’t pretend to be an opera singer, I don’t pretend to be Rihanna - I’m just studying, practicing vocals. I sing about what worries me, I share real emotions. As it turned out, my woman’s story is close to many people - I receive hundreds of stories of love and betrayal on social networks, they thank me for the motivation to live, to work further, no matter how difficult it may be. I read, cry, empathize. It gives strength.

Recording songs and filming videos became a lifeline for me in the difficult life situation in which I found myself. Creativity cured me, saved me.

"I invest in myself"

— The videos are shot by director Alexey Golubev, and he also puts on the concert program. He staged Plushenko's show and shot videos for many masters of our show business. A solo career is an expensive proposition. Do you still have to invest?

- Yes, now I invest a lot in myself - in creativity, my development. Of course, it's not cheap. To make a quality product, you need a lot of investment: to record a song, buy a track, shoot a video. Don’t think that on November 3 Buzova will sing four songs. There will be a presentation of my solo album! From the shooting of “House-2” I go to the rehearsal, dance and sing for three hours. I have a team, dancers - global goals and plans. There will be a tour soon.

— You are a tasty pie for producers. Wouldn’t it be easier to join, say, Maxim Fadeev, who praises you? Under the wing of a producer, it’s easier to become part of show business and avoid attacks from colleagues, mistakes...

— I love Bruce Lee’s phrase: “Train with those who are stronger, love those you can’t, don’t give up where others give up.” I like that I build my career on my own and no one tells me what to do. I am a freedom-loving Capricorn. I want to manage my life myself and not obey some production center. I haven't made any mistakes with this yet. I probably have a producer's streak in me. Maybe I’ll become a producer myself? I agree, doing everything alone is more difficult. People always ask me: don’t you have a driver, a stylist? Are you all on your own? Yes, I do everything in this life myself. Now for the first time I will change winter tires to summer tires - previously this was the responsibility of the man in my family. But I know: I will do everything well and will not be obliged to anyone. I work with the director, PR person and assistant - we manage.

— Actresses, athletes, TV presenters, ballerinas periodically start singing. Why did our showbiz take up arms against Olga Buzova?

— Four of my songs one after another ended up in 1st place in Russian iTunes. Moreover, the first three became leaders within an hour, and “Fly Away” became leaders in 15 minutes. None of our artists have achieved such a result. Then I shot a video for the song “I’m getting used to it”: everyone expected me to be in sequins and rhinestones, but what came out was a stylish, cool mini-film. They attacked me with particular anger after the concert at the Olimpiyskiy - at BigLoveShow the organizers recognized my performance as the best, and yet all our artists performed there. I choreographed the act myself, sewed costumes for the dancers, which cost a colossal amount of money. I had a dream to go on stage beautifully - I fulfilled it. Who's stopping you from doing something cool? I’ve been working on television for a long time and I’m used to everything. But still, I’m a girl, vulnerable, so it’s easy to offend me and provoke me into emotions. What hurt me the most was that men were competing with me in the same place and allowing me to be publicly insulted. It was very unpleasant. There was no one to protect me - I endured all this alone... I don’t want to waste positive energy on the statements of people who criticize me. After all, they expect this from me. I'd rather write a kind word to those who support me. My people know that now I am free from a relationship, lonely and want to direct all my creative potential and energy into creativity.

Everyone knows: if I joke about Buzova, they will notice it, and if I insult Buzova, they will write about it

—: “Loneliness is the best state for immersion in creativity. I love being in it."

— I’m not a queen yet, but I’m already speaking in the words of a king (laughs). I agree that solitude promotes creativity. I was in a relationship for six years, five of them I was married, so I didn’t have that much time and, perhaps, the necessary emotions that would have pushed me to start a new path. Philip and I recently crossed paths at an event. He hugged me and said: “What are you doing?!” You are a goddess, incredible, great job...” This is worth a lot. If a person like Philip criticized me, I would be upset. So far, people whose opinions mean little to me are speaking out in an ugly way.

“Katya Gordon and Aziza emphasized that they liked Olya Buzova as a person, but the success of her songs depends “on the popularity gained thanks to Dom-2 and the start of her career at the peak of interest in her personal life.” Do you agree?

- I do not think so. Popularity as a TV presenter does not guarantee success on stage. I had different projects, not all ended successfully. As for my personal life, I hid for the first months from all offers of interviews and never speculated on divorce. She smiled, hiding her pain and tears, and appeared on camera and on stage at corporate parties and events. People simply found an excuse for their unflattering comments. I don’t understand why I have so many questions. I work like Papa Carlo - seven days a week! The other day I flew to London, where my company OlgaBuzova Design was a sponsor of a large-scale event. I only stayed there for a day to rest.

I know how to enjoy the successes of others, which is what I wish for everyone. I like the work of Ira Dubtsova and Lena Temnikova - I will always tell them that they are cool. If I don’t like someone, I won’t say anything, why offend the person? Everyone has their own audience, I don’t cross anyone’s path.

“I heard artists recently joke that Stas Mikhailov took over the audience of single women over 40, and Buzova got everyone else who was younger. Do you agree?

“I’m also very interested in who my audience is.” Now I travel with seminars “The Path to Success” around the regions - I communicate a lot with people. Many beautiful, self-sufficient girls aged 30-35 come to talk to me. But there were a lot of adult women, over 50. That’s why I communicate with Stas Mikhailov’s audience (laughs).

“The most important quality in life is a sense of humor”

— Where does Buzova have the strength to fight such a wave of criticism? I quote Bilan: “A person who fights so many ill-wishers and negativity can only be respected for this.”

— The most important quality in life is a sense of humor. Ksyusha Sobchak, a participant in Dom-2, taught me the ability to laugh at myself 13 years ago at Dom-2. I had hair extensions, everyone knew that they couldn’t get them wet at that moment, and they pushed me into the pool. I burst into tears and wanted to leave the project. Ksyusha caught me at the gate and said: “If you run away now, they will break you later. You were just thrown into the pool - no need to react so seriously. In an awkward situation, the best weapon is a smile, the ability to laugh at yourself.” I remembered. Reacting to every attack directed at me, I would give rise to the next negative emotion.

— Ivan Urgant recently noted in his program the success of your next hit, which 15 minutes after its release became the leader of our iTunes. And then he sarcastically said that you will soon be invited to the West, but even in this case there will be no brain drain. It's a shame?

— There is a stereotype: Buzova is stupid. My relatives know what I read, what I am interested in, they saw how I rush to visit all the museums when traveling. You can talk to me on any topic. Unfortunately, people think narrowly: they think that my Instagram is my whole life. If I post a photo where my shoulder is exposed, then that means I’m depraved. And at this moment I can sit at home under a blanket with the dogs and read a book. I encourage you to think more broadly.

Everyone knows: if I joke about Buzova, many will notice. And if you want people to write about you, then it’s better to insult Buzova. This method is now used by many people.

I take Vanya Urgant’s statements calmly because they are funny. Yes, it was funny to me myself. If this were true, it would be a shame. By the way, Vanya Urgant never got to first place in iTunes, although he sings. So they want to send me to the West as quickly as possible (laughs). I’m like a thorn in the eyes of many artists - they always say something about me once a month.

At the same time, I know how he treats me. When the guys from "" had a concert at Crocus, they invited me and we talked for half an hour, I gave the audience my humor. One thing may happen on camera, but behind the scenes everything is often different.

— Another of your fellow countrymen, a resident of St. Petersburg, Sergei Shnurov, has also been paying attention to Buzova’s work lately.

— Sergey Shnurov covered my song “To the Sound of Kisses.” Someone saw this as mockery of me. Every person has their glass half empty, but mine is always half full. If Sergei Shnurov himself covers my songs, for me it’s a compliment. At a recent press conference, he said that he was absolutely not against some kind of cooperation with Olga Buzova. So, as long as someone expresses their phi and turns up their nose, I will work with the best.

“I hope that at 40 I will have a husband or boyfriend”

— Have you thought about leaving your job at Dom-2 and devoting yourself to the stage, theater, and filming?

- Never! I love my job at Dom-2! I talk about this, and it really gives me goosebumps. On May 11, the project turns 13 years old, and all these years I have been with Dom-2. No matter what happens in my life, I come to Polyana, the guys run up and say: “Olya, thank God that you are here today...” These sincere emotions inspire and delight. I’m interested in analyzing their behavior, observing, and giving advice, so I arrange my tour schedule in such a way that I can be at work more often. I spend at least 20 days a month at Dom-2. Some people think: she sits there and opens her mouth. When I conduct a four-hour show, I become like a squeezed lemon, because, like a psychologist, I pass through every problem of the participant through myself. I can talk endlessly on camera.

— Are the participants today similar to the young Buzova 13 years ago?

— Now at Dom-2 there are different rules: it’s become freer, it’s easier to realize oneself - the guys act in films, run corporate events, open their own businesses. Actually, I still consider myself a youth. I just turned 31 years old. What happened in my life six months ago was inevitable, I regret that it didn’t happen a little earlier - a lot of time was lost.

— Are you planning to relax in the summer?

“Now I’m trying to occupy every minute of my life. After work, I come home at one or three in the morning, sit down and read or think a lot - analyze my behavior, other people, try to understand why I was so mistaken, why I was betrayed, where my eyes were... Strength is not eternal, I need to rest. I really love to travel. Once a month I try to go to Europe for a couple of days. Mommy and I flew to Vienna for her birthday. Now I’m giving my best friend a gift for her birthday - we’re flying to Greece for two days.

— What will Olga Buzova be like at 40?

— I hope that, in addition to three dogs, I will have a husband or at least a young man. Everyone is so interested to know about my personal life. And I can’t talk about it...

— Psychologists say: it takes a year to recover from the betrayal of a loved one.

“I think in my case it’s even more.” It is difficult to imagine how a person who has loved can immediately introduce another person to the whole world. I can’t even bring myself to talk about it... I think that by the age of 40 I’ll become a blonde again, but for now I’m comfortable being a brunette. I am sure that I will always work hard. Now I’m planning to buy my mother a house in Spain. I really want to give her such a gift.

- And for yourself?

- And I want to buy a house for myself! Now I do everything in this life myself.

Private bussiness

Olga Buzova was born on January 20, 1986 in Leningrad. She graduated with honors from St. Petersburg State University (Faculty of Geography and Geoecology). The only participant in the television project “Dom-2” on the TNT channel, who became its presenter. She played the main female roles in the enterprise performances “Gorgeous Wedding”, “Black Diamond”, “A Man in Great Demand”. She starred in the TV series “Poor People” and the film “Burn!” The owner of her own clothing brand. The presentation of the first music album will take place in November 2017.

In an interview with the site, Olga Buzova explained why she agreed to participate in the reality show, whether she could love a man weaker than herself, and whether she was ready to get married again.

You can treat Olga Buzova differently, but you cannot deny the fact that this fragile girl is rushing like a tank, conquering new areas of activity.

Television, writing, pop music, acting, creating clothes and jewelry. And now also cryptocurrency. The other day Olya held a press conference at which she announced that her Buzcoin is ready to compete with the already famous Bitcoin. And our heroine is more serious than ever.

Another high-profile reason for discussion was the news about the launch of a new reality show, the participants of which will be able to compete for the heart of Olga Buzova.

The name of the show is still kept secret, but TNT management notes that there are no analogues to this project in Russia. After the press conference, Buzova spent a few minutes with us, where we dwelt in detail on questions about her personal life.

website: Olya, today you are the most popular girl in Russia...
Here! It's nice when this is recognized and talked about. Thank you.

website: I assume that soon you will also be the richest girl in Russia... Aren't you afraid that it will be difficult to find a suitable match?

ABOUT.: (Humming)“She’s not afraid...” I don't want to limit my potential because there may be no man stronger than me. I don't want to ignore my capabilities, belittle my abilities in order to lower myself to the level of those who want to be with me. The rocket is launched. If I have set this standard and everything is working out for me, then I want to continue building a career and doing business. Let the men reach up to me.

“In the end, millions of people live in Russia, billions in the world. Isn't there just one man for me? I do not need much (laughs - site note)» .

I hope that love will come to me. But I won’t constrain myself or stop. Get to my level! Go forward.

website: Clothing brand, jewelry, television, stage - that’s understandable. But cryptocurrency?! It is believed that only men can exist in such a serious business.

O.B.: I destroy stereotypes. And I’ve been doing this for many years, no matter what I do. At first they don’t believe me, then they laugh at me, then they fight with me, and then I win. People say every time: “Oh, she won’t succeed,” but in the end I achieve my goal. Who said this is a man's activity? Where is that written? Today, women are leading the way - confident, self-sufficient, literate, savvy. So why can't they do what they're good at? Why suddenly the man in the family shouldn’t cook, wash dishes or clean? These are all prejudices and stereotypes.

“For example, at one time they told me: “It’s time for you to have children.” Who told whom, when, that it was time for me? Where are these rules written?"

Unfortunately, we live in a stereotypical society. I am against it, so I am destroying them.

I want to do this business and I believe in my new IT project Buzar, in the Buzcoin currency. Judging by our press conference, many people already understand this matter, some noted that they are looking forward to the launch. This is the future, I'm sure. It’s just that for most people these are just terrible words, but for me they are already the realities that I live by. This is a new world that I am opening for my people. And I’m doing this as the first woman in show business. But I'm no stranger to being the first in this country (laughs - site note).

website: What will you do with so much money? After all, as you know, money has spoiled many good people.

O.B.: I don’t. I am a girl from a very ordinary family and I remember very well the time when I washed floors to earn at least some money. I've never been afraid of work. I was raised this way: if you want to get something, go work. It happened that I had nothing to eat (I then left home), and my sister brought me food. There were times when I earned 30 thousand rubles a month, although I was already the most recognizable girl from a reality show. And I always gave all this money to my mother, because I wanted her to feel what an adult I was.

“Today nothing has changed - money does not fall from the sky for me, it is earned very hard.”

My income is an opportunity to invest in myself, my career, and development. That is why today I cannot boast of houses or good cars, although, of course, I want it.

I have my Mercedes, which I’ve been driving for a year now, and an apartment that I rent. All funds go towards my career. Videos with the best directors and world stars, a concert show, a team of 15 people - and for all this I pay out of my own pocket. In my life, nothing comes on a silver platter.

Therefore, my attitude towards money is absolutely adequate. Yes, I can indulge: I can afford to relax in the best hotels, fly business class, dine in expensive restaurants. I spent my vacation in Thailand with my friends and paid for everything in full. Here's another fact: thanks to my earnings, I can make people close to me happy. My mom spent her birthday in Singapore, where everything was the best for her. She wrote to me: “Thank you, my princess, my little diamond, for making my dreams come true.” I give happiness to my family.

website: Numbers, endless work schedule, yellow press, haters... Have you forgotten what it is to be weak?

O.B.: It seems to me that if a man stronger than me appears next to me, then I will automatically become weaker. And today I have no choice but to stay strong. If I had given in, I would have broken down long ago from so much attention and condemnation. Even good things can break a person: popularity, fame, money.

“My inner core and fortitude allowed me, despite everything, to remain human. Kind, open, responsive, friendly."

I didn't turn into a bitter woman who hates everyone.

Who will stand up for me today if not myself? I manage my life myself from start to finish. I take care of myself. That is why I urgently need someone who is stronger than me (both mentally and physically), who will solve my problems and take care of me. My man should be without diapers. I want to meet someone who will fight this world with me, if necessary.

website: And, apparently, such a person will soon be found, because a new show is being launched on TNT, where you will look for your love. How did you agree to such an adventure?

O.B.: This has never happened on television before. Everything that concerns me happens for the first time. It's no secret that I've been alone for over a year. And I’m not a robot, but a girl, although many people forget about this. And if you think that I can live without love, then this is not so. I want to love and I want to be accepted for who I am - the real one.

“I didn’t think that at 32 I would have to admit this, but yes, I don’t have a man, and that’s a problem.”

I’m constantly touring, doing business, hosting TV shows, and there’s simply no time left for my personal life.

Therefore, I decided to agree to participate in a new show on the TNT channel, where I will look for my love. And the first one who turns out to be brave, strong, loyal, faithful, smart and real will be next to me. For me this is an adventure, a risk, but I really want to be happy. And maybe the project will give me that.

website: Do you believe that the project participants will look at you as a girl, and not at the star Olga Buzova?

O.B.: It’s difficult, I know. I would really like to feel again those emotions when you catch someone looking at you, but not like someone just recognized you, but like someone who is interested, flirting or something. I don’t remember this happening in recent years, honestly. And I just go to the project for emotions and impressions. This will be a new stage in my life. I don’t know what will happen there and how it will all end. But I am sure that you will get tremendous pleasure, because everyone in this country is interested in who Olga Buzova will choose. I can say for sure that this man will definitely be lucky, he will be the happiest person on this planet (smiles - website note).

“The most important thing is that they love me simply as a girl. Although on the other hand, of course, a man must understand that I am not an ordinary girl, and he will have to accept my life as it is.”

I am not going to give up anything, although I am ready to adapt somewhere, moderate my ardor, listen and hear. In this world I am a queen. If you don't like it, live in something else. I need to be accepted for who I am and loved. And in return I will give you my love.

website: Aren't you afraid of being deceived on this project?

O.B.: Of course, I’m afraid, but those who don’t take risks... don’t love. There are still thorns, there are walls that I have built around myself, but if a man wants and can open me up, interest me, win me over, then no obstacles will stop him. I am sure that if he needs it, he will come, get it, conquer it.

“I want to remind you that in this country there must be a man with balls. He is a breadwinner, he is a knight, and a girl must only choose.”

The participants in this project will undergo a strict casting, because I have to be sure that I am not being used. I’ll say right away: if a man wants to take a photo with me, he will immediately go home. I need sincerity.

website: You have everything. What do you dream about? Marry?

O.B.: Getting married is not the ultimate dream. Marriage, as we know, does not guarantee happiness in marriage. From my example and from the example of many others, you see that a registered relationship is not an indicator of fidelity and long-term devotion. Love can exist without marriage. I dream of making my family, friends, fans, and people around me happy.

“I’m like a thorn for many now”

The host of the House 2 project gave a very personal and frank interview to Tele Program magazine and answered many questions from her fans, as well as ill-wishers.


Buzova’s first solo concert will take place in November 2017; it is already impossible to buy tickets, since there are no more empty seats in the hall. Olga admitted to the correspondent that she wanted to become an artist since childhood and only now realized what hard work it is to pursue a musical career. The concert program for the singer is staged by director Alexey Golubev, she has dancers and her own team. According to Olga, she invests a lot in her creative development, since recording a song and filming a video requires a lot of financial resources. The journalist asked Buzova whether it would have been easier for Olga to join a production center, for example, Maxim Fadeev, who praises the work of the aspiring singer. Olga replied that she is a freedom-loving person and wants to lead her own life. The presenter of House 2 communicates a lot with people, travels around the regions with her “Path to Success” seminars. Olga has learned not to react to criticism and considers a sense of humor to be the main quality in life. Olga believes that the reason for the attacks on her by show business stars is that:

“Four of my songs one after another ended up in 1st place in Russian iTunes. Moreover, the first three became leaders within an hour, and “Fly Away” became leaders in 15 minutes. None of our artists have achieved such a result. Then I shot a video for the song “I’m getting used to it”: everyone expected me to be in sequins and rhinestones, but what came out was a stylish, cool mini-film. They attacked me with particular anger after the concert at the Olimpiysky - at BigLoveShow the organizers recognized my performance as the best, and yet all our artists performed there. I choreographed the act myself, sewed costumes for the dancers, which cost a colossal amount of money. I had a dream to go on stage beautifully - I fulfilled it.”


Buzova is not going to completely change her career as the host of the House 2 project to a career as a theater artist and singer; Olga is adjusting her tour schedule so that she can get to the filming of the project in the clearing. Olya plans to buy her mother a house in Spain, but she cannot talk about her personal life yet.
