Childhood and youth

Angelica's family has an interesting and rich history. The surname Varum (translated from German means “why”) was taken by Anzhelika’s great-grandfather, the Pole Yudka Robak, after the Second World War. His son Itskho, the singer’s grandfather, who escaped execution, changed his name to Ignat and moved to Lvov.

Varum became interested in music at the age of 5 - first the girl learned to play the piano, and then school years mastered the guitar. In high school, she already toured with her school theater club, performing folk songs to your own accompaniment.

Having received her matriculation certificate, Varum tried to enter Shchukinsky Theatre Institute(then a school), but did not pass the competition - the commission did not like his Ukrainian accent. After that, she got a job as a backing vocalist in her father's studio. For some time, Angelica performed as a backup singer for famous artists.

In 1992, Angelika Varum got a job at the Alla Pugacheva Song Theater and at the same time continued to work on new songs. Soon her second album “La-la-fa” was released, the title track of which is still considered one of Varum’s most popular compositions. Soon the singer released her first video for the song “The Artist Who Paints the Rain.”

Anzhelika Varum - “Mom”

After an interview with Neuromonk Feofan on Yuri Dudya’s channel in September 2017, the Internet began to heatedly discuss the similarity of the voices of Angelica Varum and her husband - if in the songs “The Artist Who Paints the Rain” and “Everything is in Your Hands” using a computer program, you lower the timbre of your voice, you can hear the voice of... Leonid Agutin. Agutin himself commented on this fact as a mere coincidence and absurdity, which they themselves noticed a long time ago.

Angelika Varum - “The Woman Walked”

The rich singer spared money for the operation of his own nephew

On July 16th, the country's most famous “barefoot boy” celebrates his anniversary. Over the 45 years of his life, Leonid AGUTIN wrote dozens of hits and won the love of thousands of fans, but at the same time he always remained a closed person. We tried to write a “portrait” of the hero of the day, but there were a lot of gaps in his biography that we tried to fill.

The Agutin-Varum family has always been a mystery to journalists. Many still believe that Leonid and Angelica are not husband and wife at all, but just a profitable creative union. The artists themselves, naturally, do not confirm this information and always appear in public in the image of an ideal married couple. There are many rumors among their relatives: Angelica’s father, the once popular composer Yuri Varum, has been living in Miami for nine years and does not appear in Russia. There, overseas, Agutin and Varum’s daughter, 14-year-old Lisa, also lives in his care. At one time, all the newspapers trumpeted that the girl was taken abroad due to a serious illness. Leonid also has another daughter - the blond beauty Polina. She was born 16 years ago as a result of the singer’s fleeting affair with ballerina Maria Vorobyova. The artist hid the girl for a long time, but now she is increasingly seen in the company of her father. And it also turned out that Leonid has two younger sisters - Ksyusha and Masha. But first things first.

Oh, where are you, brother?

On the Internet, we absolutely accidentally discovered a letter from Maria Agutina to the management and members of a large American charitable foundation. In it, the girl literally begged for help:
- My son has a terrible disease - congenital heart disease. On the fourth day of life, Matvey underwent the first of three required operations. Now we need a second stage. Our doctors recommend waiting until the child grows up. But the vice is unpredictable, and deterioration can begin at any moment. My son has shortness of breath and gets tired quickly. I learned that in the USA they successfully operate on children with this disease. Matvey is already ready to be admitted to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. There was hope that my son would develop normally. But the bill issued by the clinic is huge. I am raising two children alone. Please, help!

The amount for the treatment of tiny Matvey Agutin for ordinary people really prohibitive - $156 thousand. But Maria was helped by volunteers from all over the world and, fortunately, the required amount of money was collected on time. The baby underwent surgery in December. Now the boy is in Moscow and is preparing for another test - a repeat surgical intervention.
We called his mother to make sure that the unfortunate child was really Leonid Agutin’s nephew. Ksenia answered the phone:
“Masha and Matvey are at the dacha now,” the girl responded affably. “It makes it easier for him to bear the heat.” There Fresh air- expanse. We have him very tiny - he was recently eleven months old, and he has suffered so much... When Masha was pregnant, an examination showed that the child’s left side of the heart, which is responsible for the large and most important circle of blood circulation, had not formed. Doctors said there was no chance. They persuaded me to have an abortion. But my sister did not agree. She gave birth and is now fighting with all her might for her son’s life.
- Who helps her with this?
- Me and our mother. We all live together in the same apartment. Masha has a daughter from her first marriage, I have a son. Unfortunately, Matvey's father left them as soon as he learned that the child was sick. Masha graduated from the journalism department of Moscow State University, but she can’t work – she needs to take care of the child. She receives kopecks from the state: six thousand - an allowance for the first group of disability of her son, and two - as a single mother. It's good that you found it good people, who helped raise money for the operation in America. We have to fly there again in six months, the doctors again bill for an exorbitant amount - 300 thousand dollars. So the only hope is a charitable foundation.

- Wait, what about your brother?
- Lenya? – Ksenia asked me again. – You see, he and I are not that close. We have the same father, but different mothers. Of course, we are still family, but it so happened that his father now lives with him, Lenya and his wife support him and help him. You know, dad somehow distanced us. I don't know why. Maybe he’s afraid that we’ll bother Lena with our problems and ask for money...
- Did Leonid and Angelica really not respond to your grief? Matvey is their nephew!
- Oh, you just don’t know Masha. She's so proud of us! Believes: if people want, they help just like that, without unnecessary words. But one day she called her brother and asked for help. This was during my last trip to America. Matvey was already lying on the operating table, when suddenly his heart began to fail. An additional operation was required to insert a special catheter that widens the aortic wall. But the money collected by the fund was not enough for this. Masha dialed Lena, and he transferred 300 thousand rubles to her account. This is only a tenth of the funds that were needed, but thanks for that! We know that my brother has enough problems of his own. It’s also not easy for him to get this money, so we don’t hold any grudges against anyone. What is important for us now is to raise funds for the final operation and for our baby to endure it well.

If I don't love you, I won't marry you

- Lisa hasn’t been to Russia for so many years!
- I’m surprised how Angelica persuaded her this time?! She's almost American. Everything there is familiar to her. They barely even communicated with Polina in Russian - they only chatted in English. But we are against this, so in the family circle it’s important to only talk to girls for native language we talk. Although Polya is a polyglot! He knows five languages ​​and dreams of mastering the sixth - Japanese. Very capable!
- WITH future profession have the girls decided?
- Polina, I think, will become a linguist or a manager. She's already looking at college for herself. And Lisa is still all about music. She also draws very well. I really like her works - they have character. I look and am amazed!
- Are the girls similar to each other?
- They have many common interests: books, music, films... Polina’s development is ahead of her age. Those who have communicated with her at least once think that she is already well over twenty. Lisa is a little childish. But together they are an explosive mixture! Polya has a lot of friends, and probably already has a young man. And Lisa is still such a child inside! It seems to me that all this love doesn’t even occur to her. But at the same time, Elizabeth is a very brave girl. Leni once had a concert in Miami. He invited Lisa to perform with the group. She replied: “Easy!” She was given time, she came out and worked without any hesitation! I then asked Leni how it all went. The son replied that he was standing behind the scenes and was terribly nervous for her, but she didn’t care!

- Is Lisa going to return to Russia?
- Hard to tell. She has now transitional age. We don't put pressure on her. We have such a family: everyone chooses what they like. In any case, this decision will be hers alone, assures Agutin Sr. - But so far I don’t see her desire to come here and live at home. She has everything there: studies, friends, hobbies...
- Has Polina also become unaccustomed to her homeland?
- Her mother’s grandparents live here, so Polya comes to Russia much more often. Previously, she spent every summer at her grandfather’s small dacha. Lenya visited her there. She visited us less often, because those grandparents are closer to her - in fact, they raised her. Polina even studied in Moscow for a couple of years so that don't forget the language. And then she went to Italy - she and her mother lived there, and now they have moved to Nice.

Mother's surname

For some reason, Angelica’s father, Yuri Varum, did not arrive from overseas with Lisa. He has been the girl's official guardian for many years and usually accompanied her on long trips. Worried that something had happened (at one time there were rumors that Yuri Ignatievich had lost his leg due to progressive diabetes), we called Miami.

Childhood and youth

Leonid Agutin, whose work has won the hearts of a multi-million army of fans, was born in Moscow into a family famous musician, a Jew by nationality, and his wife Lyudmila Shkolnikova. The boy was born on July 16, 1968, under the zodiac sign Cancer.

Leni's mother was a teacher junior classes and, becoming an Honored Teacher Russian Federation, has achieved no less success in her profession than her husband in show business.

The biography of Father Leonid is rich musical achievements and success. Nikolai Agutin was the vocalist of the fashionable ensemble " Blue guitars”, and later administered the groups “Singing Hearts”, and the team.

The musician and the teacher raised their only child within own world. Leonid was required not only to study well in secondary school, but also devote time to daily learning scales and pieces on the piano.

The manifestation of such perseverance in relation to music in childhood is a rare occurrence, but this is exactly what little Lenya surprised his teachers and parents.

The reason for such interest and zeal for music can only be explained by the fact that the father was a great authority for the boy, to whom he gravitated and tried to imitate in everything.

When Agutin Jr. showed innate talent in music, his parents transferred him to the Moscow jazz school at the Moskvorechye House of Culture, after which the young man became a student at the Moscow state institute culture and received a diploma as a stage director.

By the way, Leonid did not shy away from military service, despite the capabilities of the star father, who could easily resolve the issue of conscription into the army. During the service, the singer had to say goodbye to long hair, which he had worn since his youth. In the army he was also active creative activity.

Leonid, with an organized army ensemble, often gave concerts in front of his colleagues and command staff, which earned him universal respect and sympathy. He quickly became a soloist of the Leningrad Military Song and Dance Ensemble. But an unsuccessful AWOL trip decided him future fate in the ranks of the army: he had to serve on the Karelian-Finnish border in the border troops, as an army cook. Leonid served in the army from 1986 to 1988.

Music

In his youth, as a student, Leonid Agutin began to go on tour with popular artists and preceded their concerts with his solo performances, appearing, so to speak, as an “opening act.” He writes the words and music himself, records own songs on semi-professional equipment. When in 1992 his song “Barefoot Boy” wins the festival in Yalta, and then becomes a hit at the competition in Jurmala, he plunges headlong into recording his first album.

As the singer himself admits, his first love was before today jazz remains, but later he became imbued with other genres of music, eventually finding himself in pop music.

The singer's rich discography opens with the first disc, named after the first musical success- "Barefoot boy." The record made a splash in the world national music. The songs “Hop hey, la lalay”, “Voice of the tall grass”, “Who shouldn’t wait” sound from every window. At the end of the year, “Barefoot Boy” is recognized as the album of the year, and the singer himself is best performer.

The new disc “Decameron” strengthens interest in Agutin. Along with, and the group, he becomes the most sought-after star of that period, which was reflected in the number of Golden Gramophone statuettes and Songs of the Year awards received.

In 2008, the singer recorded the song “Border” in a duet with the group; the composition immediately became a hit. She is still ordered demobilized on radio broadcasts upon request.

In the same year, the singer received recognition from the state, he was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Russia from the hands of the then-current president.

The album “Cosmopolitan Life”, recorded together with jazz guitarist Al Di Meola, stands apart in the artist’s discography. The disc was released in Russia, America and Europe. Moreover, in the West the jazz album received much greater recognition and for a long time topped the charts in the US, Canada and Germany.

Diversity musical projects clearly demonstrates creative growth singer, ranging from popular tunes with reggae elements to complex jazz compositions.

In 2016, the musician receives prestigious awards Music Box as singer of the year. This award was organized in 2013 by leading production centers in Russia; the awards presentation is broadcast annually from the hall of the Kremlin Palace. Votes are collected through SMS voting by viewers.

Not all of Leonid Agutin's poems become songs. Sometimes they sound better without music. Therefore, in 2009, the musician decided to publish a book of his own poems and called it “ Notebook 69". The collection contained lines written over the past 10 years, and there were poems in it that made the reader both smile and sad.

After 5 years, the singer returns to literature again and publishes the book “Poetry of Ordinary Days,” where, in addition to poems, there are Agutin’s thoughts and notes that reveal his worldview.

Popular musicians often accept offers television channels and participate in entertainment programs. Leonid Agutin was no exception. His first such experience was Ukrainian show“Zirka + Zirka”, in which he sang together with the actress. The singer also participated in a similar Russian project“Two Stars,” where his partner was the actor, Agutin managed to win.

A bright stage in the artist’s life was the Channel One musical television project “”. For several seasons he, together with, was a constant member of the jury and mentor of the team.

Leonid Agutin and Angelika Varum with daughters Polina and Lisa

- Your daughters are each other's half-sisters. But they apparently found a common language...

Leonid: Mutual language they speak Russian, although Polina lived with her mother in Italy, and now her family has moved to France. And Lisa lives in Miami. They used to communicate on Skype, but they met for the first time last summer in Paris, where we all spent an unforgettable five days together. When my daughters met, I was in seventh heaven. I remember sitting, watching the girls and smiling like a fool... At first, they looked at each other, “grew,” and I was just in a blissful mood: I always dreamed that they would become friends.

Angelica: It was very interesting to watch how the girls became closer. Polka is lively, emotional, Lisa is softer, and at first she was stunned by her sister’s energy. Now, having met in Moscow, they do not want to part at all. When Lenya and I flew away for a day on tour, they had fun themselves.
