Stars of the 90s and 2000s: favorite idols we still remember

The eighties were very interesting period. Soviet foundations gradually ceased to operate, and extraordinary and talented young men - singers of the 80s, Russians - appeared on the stage. The list can be continued almost endlessly. It is also interesting that real masters and representatives often met on the same stage new stage. Also during these years there was a flourishing of rock culture, which had previously been within strict limits.

Legends of the stage

Forefathers modern stage became singers of the 70-80s (Russian). Their list includes well-known names:

1. Vladimir Presnyakov (senior) in the late 70s made a dizzying career in the Gems group. In 1987 he left big stage to help his son take his first steps in show business.
2. In the 80s, Valery Leontyev dressed more modestly, but he was already famous thanks to his collaboration with Raymond Pauls. At the end of the decade, sales of Valery's sound carriers broke all records.
3. The peak of Lev Leshchenko’s career was the closing of the Olympics in Moscow. Not many singers of the 80s (Russian), the list of which is almost limitless, can boast of such an honor.

Other worthy performers of that time can be included in the same list. Joseph Davydovich Kobzon, for example, by the eighties had already become a vocal teacher and was releasing records with recordings of retro songs, but the peak of his career came in the seventies.

Forgotten Artists

Some Russian singers of the 80s, a list of which will be given below, are now unreasonably forgotten:

1. In the late eighties, the USSR was shocked by a group in which a pupil of the orphanage, Yuri Shatunov, performed. His colleague Andrei Razin competently promoted the project, using rumors, doubles and other techniques. Many years later, Yuri was never able to repeat his former success.
2. Viktor Saltykov performed as part of the Electroclub group in the eighties, but he is more often known as the father of Irina Saltykova.
3. Sergey Minaev became the founder of discos and club movement, few people remember him today.

These performers were consigned to oblivion only because of the rapidly changing stage of that time. The Russian singers of the 80s did not expect such a fate. The list of forgotten stars of the 90s will be much longer, since many then performed one hit and disappeared. Now stars of the 80s and 90s often perform at nostalgic concerts dedicated to that time.

Representatives of rock clubs

The singers of the 80s (Russian) are not all forgotten. The list of men who performed in the genre of rock music consists only of cult personalities who are still active on stage:

1. Vladimir Kuzmin began his career in the late 70s in the Carnival group, but reached the peak of popularity in the 80s with the Dynamik group. He began to be recognized in every home in 1986, when he performed in a duet with Alla Pugacheva. In 2017, he presented the album “Roker-3. Closing of the season."
2. Valery Kipelov began his career in the group “Leisya Pesnya” in 1980. When the team didn't pass state program and closed, he was invited to the group “Aria”. Since 1985, he performed there. In 2017 he performed at “Invasion” already with own group"Kipelov", which was created in 2002, when Valery left the previous team due to disagreements.
3. Yuri Shevchuk became famous thanks to his hits “Rain”, “Autumn”, “That’s all...”. Since 1980 he has been the leader of the DDT group. He is distinguished by opposition views and does not accept any government. In 2017, he became the headliner of the “Invasion” festival, performed for 2.5 hours and was well received by the public.
4. The following singers of the 80-90s became an unusual phenomenon for the stage. The list of “Russian cult rockers of the 80s” is completed by two performers: the Samoilov brothers - Vadim and Gleb. Not long ago they creative path broke up, Gleb became the leader of the Matrixx group and in 2017 will delight the public with a new album, and Vadim is the President's Plenipotentiary Envoy. He regularly performs at Russian venues and has participated in concerts in Syria and Donbass. In recent times, the Saimolovs performed in the style of “rock decadence”, which is why they differ from those listed above.

The eighties became a golden age for Russian rock. Most of the idols of even modern fans of this genre came from this period. The list of singers can include Grebenshchikov, Shklyarsky, Makarevich, Kinchev and many others.

Lost Talents

The listed lists cannot be considered complete, since they do not contain two surnames - Tsoi and Talkov. Probably, these singers would be more popular than others, because now their songs are remembered with special warmth. For many fans of their work, it is sad that both performers died tragically at the height of their careers. Viktor Tsoi died in a car accident, and Igor Talkov was shot backstage concert hall in the early nineties.

Tsoi was known as the herald of perestroika. His songs became iconic for many; indeed, the youth of the USSR wanted “change.” Igor Talkov was also a singer of perestroika; his songs were performed during the GKChP putsch. They were more lyrical than Victor's. Most famous songs Talkova are " Chistye Prudy" and "I'll be back."

In 2003, Yulia Volkova and Lena Katina even participated in Eurovision, taking third place. Six years after this, having gone through impressive international success, the team parted ways.

Volkova began solo career. Back in 2004, she gave birth to a daughter, Victoria, and three years later she became the wife of the son of a businessman, Parviz Yasinov, to whom she gave birth to a son, Samir.

"Lyceum". The girl trio consisting of Nastya Makarevich, Lena Perova and Izolda Ishkhanishvili made their debut in the TV show " morning Star" in 1995, and their main hit was the song "Autumn".

Lena Perova was the first to be fired from the group, and after a while Isolde also left. Only Nastya Makarevich is still constantly present in the group, accompanied by different girls. Now the Lyceum star is 40 years old, she is married to a lawyer and has two sons.

Isolda Ishkhanishvili left show business, lives in Switzerland, is engaged in business in the field of luxury cosmetics and is the wife of construction magnate Dmitry Desyatnikov, to whom she gave birth to a son five years ago.

Elena Perova tried to return to show business, wrote songs and soundtracks for films, hosted talk shows, participated in various television projects and even starred in TV series, and in addition, she struggled with alcohol and drug addictions, and got into car accidents. Not married, no children.

"Hi-Fi". The official founding date of the group is August 2, 1998, when the producer brought together artists Mitya Fomin, Timofey Pronkin and Oksana Oleshko.

At the beginning of 2009, the popularity of "Hi-Fi" fell and for the sake of a solo career, Mitya Fomin left the band, who has since been busy solo work. "Hi-Fi" is a duet between Timofey Pronkin and alternating female vocalists.
