Soviet pop stars of the 90s. How to order a star for a holiday, prices for an anniversary, birthday
In the 90s there were many popular singers and groups. Many of them still perform today and are no less popular than they were then. A striking example of such a group is “A-Studio”. Some Russian singers of the 90s (list below) are no longer so popular, but continue to perform at corporate parties and small concert stages in the provinces. However, there are also those that no one remembers today, and they have disappeared from the public eye.
Let's remember what the Russian singers of the 90s were like. Many of the artists are listed in alphabetical order. What is happening to them today, how did their destinies turn out?
Singers of the 90s - list. Russian stars - women
Now these names are almost unknown to listeners. But once these people were very popular.
Alena Apina
What were the popular singers of the 90s? Russian listeners often start the list with Alena Apina. Many knew her as a member of the “Combination” group. But since 1991, the girl began performing solo, recording the hit songs “Ksyusha” and “Accountant” in a separate performance from the group “Combination”. It was popular until the end of 1998, but after that it began to slowly fade away. Then she appeared more on television as a presenter of various programs and released videos less and less often. In 2001, she gave birth to a daughter and plunged into the family. Now she rarely appears on television.
Today Alena Apina can only be seen at a disco in the 90s.
Alena Sviridova
What other famous Russian singers of the 90s were there? The list continues with Alena Sviridova. Alena gained popularity in 1993 with the song “Winter Just Ended,” and the artist consolidated her success in 1994 with the song “Pink Flamingo.” Alena's star began to fade in 2001-2002. Now she still releases little-known albums, holds anniversary concerts, and performs by invitation at various events.
Alice Mon
“Russian Singers of the 90s” - a list that includes Alisa Mon. The artist first experienced popularity back in 1986, when she wrote the hit “Plantain-Grass.” After that, she stopped her activities on stage, but resumed it in 1997 with the song “Almaz”, which brought success. Afterwards, Alice disappeared again and was forgotten about. Today Alisa Mon can only be seen in clubs, but she performs very rarely.
Alika Smekhova
Alika Smekhova is mostly an actress and deserves a place in the list of “Popular Russian Singers.” The list of the 90s would be incomplete without her, although she got there by accident. In 1997, she released the song “Don’t Interrupt,” for which she shot a video. The song brought the actress additional success as a singer, since she was already a well-known actress at that time. Alika has only 5 recorded songs, but they are little known. After the popularity of the song “Don’t Interrupt” passed, everyone forgot about Alika as a singer. Today she rarely sings, increasingly preferring cinema and theater.
Alena Ivantsova
Alena Ivantsova is known for her only song “Rain Man,” which was written by Leonid Agutin and sung by the singer in 1995. But Alena ran under the patronage of M. Shufutinsky, with whom she lost 2 years as part of the failed group “Taste of Honey”. After 2 years, she left M. Shufutinsky and released her debut album “Rain Man”. But since the album's main hit had already outlived its popularity, the record went unnoticed. Since 2008, Alena has become a little-known performer who performs in small nightclubs.
Andrey Gubin
Andrey Gubin became a popular singer in 1995 when he released his first album, “Tramp Boy,” which included a major hit with the same name. The song “Tramp Boy” was born back in 1986, but only in 1995, with the support of Leonid Agutin, it was recorded in the studio.
In 1998, A. Gubin released his second hit album, “Only You,” and in 2000, his last successful album, entitled “It Was, but It’s Gone.”
In 2001 and 2002, Gubin published 2 more collections of songs, but they were already less popular than the previous ones.
Today the singer can only be seen as a jury member or songwriter for other performers.
Andrey Derzhavin
Andrei Derzhavin gained great popularity in 1990 by writing the song “Don’t Cry, Alice.” Since at that time Andrei was still a member of the musical group “Stalker”, the hit was recorded in an album in 1991 as a joint song with the group. However, in 1992, the group ceased to exist and A. Derzhavin continued to sing this song, only solo. In 1993, he released 2 more hits: “First Flowers” and “Someone else’s Wedding.”
In 1996, the musician recorded the song “Cranes”.
Until 1998, many more hits were written, such as “Katya-Katerina”, “Natasha” and many others.
In 1998, he wrote another song and shot a video, and participated in the “Song of the Year”. In 1999, Derzhavin shot a video for the song “The One That Leaves.”
Realizing that his former popularity had passed, Andrei Derzhavin left solo sailing and joined the “Time Machine” lineup, becoming an ordinary keyboard player. He combines this with individual activities as a composer. Derzhavin writes a lot of music and songs for various films and TV series.
Arkady Ukupnik
Fame came to Ukupnik in 1993 with the song and album “The East is a delicate matter, Petrukha.” Since then, he has been a regular participant in the New Year’s program “Christmas Meetings of Alla Pugacheva.” Now Arkady has his own recording studio, he produces, writes music and poetry.
Bogdan Titomir
Bogdan Titomir began his career in 1989 as part of the Kar-Men group.
Since 1991 he has been performing solo. Bogdan Titomir is remembered for 3 events in the 90s:
1. The song “Do as I do.”
2. Having once said in an interview the phrase “people eat,” which became a catchphrase in show business.
3. With your outrageous costumes and behavior.
What Bogdan is doing today is unknown.
Vika Tsyganova
Vika Tsyganova's main success came in 1991, when the album “Walk, Anarchy” was released. Until 2000, Vika had many more hits, including in the new image of a Russian and romance singer. In 2000, oddly enough, Victoria did not become less popular and won a new audience of chanson fans. Together with Mikhail Krug, she recorded 8 successful songs that fans listen to to this day.
Today Vika still sings and records albums, but they are already less popular than her previous ones.
She began to devote more time to her once hobby, which grew into a serious business. Vika creates designer clothes under the TSIGANOVA brand.
Forgotten names
There were many more interesting singers in the 90s, whose destinies turned out so differently. Below are the singers of the 90s. Russian men. The list is arranged in alphabetical order. It included names that were very bright hits at one time:
- Vlad Stashevsky;
- Vladimir Shurochkin;
- Danko;
- Dolphin;
- Decl;
- DJ Groove;
- Evgeny Osin.
We invite you to remember the main singing beauties from the 90s and see what they look like now.
Natalia Vetlitskaya
Dmitry Malikov and Zhenya Belousov dedicated songs to her. The latter, by the way, although not for long, was the singer’s legal husband. Natalya Vetlitskaya was perhaps the sexiest singing blonde of the 90s. Her songs “Look into your eyes” and “Playboy” were sung by the whole country, and the videos were shot by Fyodor Bondarchuk himself. In 1998, Vetlitskaya became interested in yoga, and in 2004 she left the big stage. Now the singer is 51, she lives in Spain and still looks amazing. Fans even call Natalia “the Russian Sharon Stone.”
Lika Star
Popular
Lika Star is another sexy blonde, one of the first Russian girls to appear on the cover of Playboy. Her debut video for the song “Lonely Moon” starred Gosha Kutsenko and Masha Tsigal, and the video was directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk. But Leakey's career ended as quickly as it began. In 1995, the singer gave birth to a child, and in the early 2000s she left for permanent residence in Italy. Today Lika Star is 43 years old, and she is reluctant to talk about her turbulent past.
Irina Saltykova
Irina Saltykova has always been successful. Even when I was selling cosmetics in a tent. Irina became a star after the release of the video “Gray Eyes” - revealing outfits and luxurious shapes did their job. Later there were “Blue Eyes”, a role in the film “Brother-2” and 5 more albums. Now Irina is a successful businesswoman, she rarely sings, but still looks luxurious. You will never believe that this slender blonde is 50 years old.
Lada Dance
Thanks to Lada Dance, we all knew that we needed to live happily! Her songs “Girl-Night” and “Reggae in the Night” are still played at discos, although Lada Dance has not recorded albums for a long time. After her singing career began to decline in the late 90s, Lada began acting in films. She excels in the roles of luxurious “bitches” and femme fatales. Today Lada is 47, she looks great, runs a successful business and continues to “live high.”
Marina Khlebnikova
Thanks to this sultry brunette with very long nails, we all sang the song about “Cup of Coffee.” And not surprisingly, the album of the same name became the fourth best-selling album of 1997. Subsequent albums were not so successful, Marina became interested in new projects and appeared on stage less and less. Now Khlebnikova is engaged in her own business. Judging by her Instagram photos, the singer looks great at 51 and still loves long, sharp nails.
Isolda Ishkhanishvili
The curliest blonde from the main trio of the 90s - the Lyceum group. She left the group in the 2000s, and the Lyceum seemed to have lost its “zest.” Today, 39-year-old Isolde can be seen at social events, where the girl happily poses for photographers and walks around with exclusive bags. The former “lyceum student’s” Instagram is replete with photographs of a beautiful life, the main hashtags are “no filters,” “no Photoshop,” “no sports.” What for? The years have not affected Isolde’s chic appearance in any way.
Alena Apina
All now 30-year-old Lesha and Ksyusha are grateful to the soloist of the “Combination” group Alena Apina, you know why. The spectacular blonde wore short skirts, high boots and preferred bright makeup. Today, the 90s star leads a healthy lifestyle, wears classic clothes and doesn’t look at all his 52 years old.
Tatiana Ovsienko
In the early 90s, the lead singer of the group “Mirage” Tatyana Ovsienko was not much different from the then popular singers: blonde curls, pearlescent lipstick, a clingy dress and high stilettos. Until in 1996, the singer amazed everyone with her ultra-short boy-like haircut. It is Ovsienko who we owe to this very trend. You look at Tatiana’s latest photos and don’t believe it – she turned 50 this year.
Linda
It’s difficult to call Linda a classic beauty. Rather, she was like an alien from another galaxy, a girl from a parallel world. There was nothing familiar in her texts: no unhappy love, no unfaithful men. To be honest, we still don't really understand what Linda sang about. But we remember very well what she looked like: black lipstick, black hair falling down her face, a bunch of piercings. The singer generally loved to shock the public: for example, in 1998 she sued Madonna for allegedly “stole” the plot of “The Crow” from Linda. Now Linda is 39, she still writes songs, gives concerts and continues to amaze the public with her appearance.
Olga Orlova
The charming lead singer of “Brilliant” sang her first hit “There, Only There” at the age of 18. Then the girl fell in love, left the group and gave birth to a child. Olga returned to the stage in the 2000s with a solo project. In recent years, the singer has been playing in films, starring in TV shows and leading a completely social lifestyle. At 39 years old, she is still as gentle, fragile and graceful.
Svetlana Vladimirskaya
Svetlana Vladimirskaya was different. A fragile brunette with a short haircut and a deep voice also sang about unhappy love, but somehow differently... At the peak of her popularity, the singer left everything and left with her husband for Siberia. And there - a garden, a vegetable garden, a healthy lifestyle - there is no time for new songs, you understand. After 10 years, Vladimirskaya returned, recorded a couple of albums, but, alas, the former glory did not happen. Today Svetlana is 47, she is raising children and grandchildren, sings in a choir and rarely appears on the pages of gossip columns.

Agency "Big City" - organization of celebrations and concerts
Each period leaves a special mark on history. So the 90s will be remembered for a long time by everyone for the musical groups that will remain forever in the memory of the youth of those years.
“The smoke of menthol cigarettes...” and “She has a granite pebble in her chest...” literally all the girls sang. The songs of the groups “Nancy” and “Ladybug” were at every discos, regardless of the age of the audience. The girls wrote many letters with declarations of love to members of male groups, such as “Ivanushki International”, “Tender May”, “Na-Na”, “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”, “Hi-Fi”. Memories of first love are undoubtedly accompanied by memories of the groups “Demo”, “Virus”, “Guests from the Future”, “Brilliant”, “Strelki” and “Kraski”. First kisses, first dance, first relationship - each of these periods had its own unforgettable music, which even after many years will bring back memories of those events.
It is impossible not to remember the cult group “Hands Up”. Hundreds of love songs, videos that you couldn’t stop watching, and an entire youth built on the lines of songs. For more than 20 years, the team has been delighting fans with its creativity. Soloist Sergei Zhukov is still the main star of concerts in the 90s.
While girls squealed at pop bands, boys preferred rock. “Kino”, “Chaif”, “Time Machine”, “Agatha Christie”, “Sunday”, “Alice” - undoubtedly contributed to the development of music. Viktor Tsoi remained a rock legend even after his death. Personal attitude towards changes in the country and the people around him are the main themes of his work. It was for freedom and honesty that he received recognition from millions of citizens.
Posters of the groups “Spice girls”, “Nirvana”, “Scorpions” were a mandatory attribute of the room, depending on the gender of the teenager. Everyone tried to imitate the movements of Michael Jackson - they were so famous. “Backstreet Boys”, “Nsync”, “Aqua” began their ascent to the top of the fans’ love. Mariah Carey, Britney Spears, Natalia Oreiro and Christina Aguilera have become the standard of female beauty.
Music had a special place in the heart of any teenager. Everyone tried to write down words from their favorite songs in a notebook and learn them. Such notebooks were kept very carefully. Boys and girls even swapped them and rewrote the texts for themselves.
The disco of the 90s is still a popular event today. Dozens of idols gather together and delight the audience with their works. Unfortunately, some of the performers of that time are no longer alive, but it is the songs and videos that make them immortal.
The editors of PEOPLETALK again invite you to take a musical break. We continue to indulge in nostalgia and dig up the best of the '90s. It's time to remember your favorite foreign hits. We spent the entire day remembering the posters that covered our rooms and choosing the 20 hottest hits. So, wherever you are, down with your headphones and turn up the volume!
