Yuri Fedorovich Malikov

Yuri was born on June 6, 1943. He graduated from a technical school in Podolia, and then from a music school. From his youth he toured a lot and was always closely connected with art. For some period he became very interested in jazz and even participated in an ensemble.

In 1965, Malikov entered the conservatory. Almost 10 years later he graduated from it and after a short period of time became the director of the Gems ensemble.

Dmitry Malikov is the son of Yuri, the successor of the musical dynasty, but he was never a member of his father’s team.

Elena Petrovna Presnyakova

Elena Presnyakova is known to many natives of the Soviet Union. Received secondary education in 1965; During the same period, she began working in the Philharmonic ensemble. She married Vladimir Presnyakov Sr. in 1966. And from then to this day, their life has been inseparable. They participate in projects together.

She joined the Gems group in 1975 and still works as a soloist. But this is not where her career began. Everything happened much earlier. Before Elena joined Gems, she performed in other ensembles. For example, I worked for Gyulli Chokheli.

She was invited to the legendary team by Yuri Malikov (the creator) along with her husband. In 2002, the artist received the title of Honored. At a time when Gems were not active, she often helped her son Vladimir in his music programs.

Valery Vadimovich Belyanin

Became a graduate of a creative workshop. He took vocal lessons from Georgy Vinogradov. Previously, he was a member of the “Watercolor” and “Flame” ensembles, and now he works with the famous “Gems”.

Born May 16, 1953. People started talking about him when he began performing with his colleagues in the Vityazi ensemble. He did not participate in “Aquarelle” for long - only a year in 1977. He worked in “Flame” for ten years - from 1979. In the early 90s, he declared himself as a composer and performer of independently written texts. And he came to Gems in 1997 and is still a member of the team.

Alexander Sergeevich Nefedov

Alexander graduated from music school. He is a professional vocalist. Before Alexander Nefedov joined Gems in 1980, he performed in another ensemble called Guitars Sing. Can play drums and rhythm guitar. During the period when Gems stopped their activities for a while, he confidently pursued solo promotion. In 1992, a press poll was held about the best singers in Russia, Alexander entered the top ten of the list.

Sergey Anatolyevich Kuznetsov

Born on June 21, 1954 in the Russian capital. He worked as an aspiring actor in a puppet studio. The army was performed in a song and dance ensemble.

He joined Gems in 1977, where he still works. He performed a huge number of parodies of many artists. He is an Honored Worker of one of the republics of Uzbekistan.

Irina Vasilievna Shachneva

Irina Shachneva was born 65 years ago, on January 30. She received her education at school and at GITIS. Malikov initially invited her as a soloist in Gems. After the collapse of the first authentic composition of the ensemble, she took part in its development in 1995 and continues to work in this group to this day. He is also an honorary member of the Russian Union of Musicians.

Sergei Grigorievich Belikov

Federation was born in the Moscow region on October 25, 1954. After graduating from music school, he began working in the theater. He was accepted into the Araks team. Around the same time, he entered the Institute of Culture to become a music teacher.

He was invited to join “Gems” in 1976, but a year later he left the team and returned to the previously abandoned group. From 1974 to 1980 he participated in famous theater productions. Closer to '81 he returns to Gems. Four years later he begins his solo career.

Good attitude towards football. He is a member of the pop star team, where he plays the role of scorer.

Oleg Minasovich Sleptsov

Oleg Sleptsov began his career at the age of 3, when he took part in shows of fashion designers originally from the USSR and France. This first happened in 1957. Already in 1960, he received a role in the film “Three Hours on the Road,” which was filmed by Mosfilm. He has quite a large number of diplomas under his belt: he graduated from the academy, college and graduate school. All of his specialties are related to music. In 1991, he decided to create the “Television Pop Show” group, while simultaneously working with Dmitry Malikov’s team. And he joined the Gems group in 1981.

Vladimir Petrovich Presnyakov

Vladimir was born in the Lviv region. His parents were musicians, so he is a continuator of family traditions. He is now 70 years old (born March 26, 1946).

The elder had a hard time in the 1970s. A provocative article was published about him, which spoke about his “vile” repertoire. As a result, the artist was not hired literally anywhere, even in amateur performances. Malikov became his salvation. He invited him to VIA Gems. Yuri could not do without such a talented saxophonist and arranger as Presnyakov, so he gladly took him and his wife into the band that was being created.

However, the artist did not stay in the ensemble for long and left it without unnecessary scandals in the late 80s. This is due to the son’s attempts to start a solo activity. Vladimir Presnyakov Sr. decided to help him and began working as a saxophonist for him.

Andrey Borisovich Sapunov

Andrey is now 59 years old (born October 20, 1956). Since childhood, he and his brother played in an ensemble. After he graduated from school, he entered the Institute of Fisheries, and a little later continued his studies at the Energy Institute. But after a while I quit. He served in the army, where he fell in love with playing the guitar, like Alexander Nefedov. After demobilization, he worked for a little less than a year in the team. In 1979-1983. studied at school. At the very beginning of my studies I started working in the “Sunday” group. After the band broke up, Andrei finally decides to get a higher musical education. For two years from 1984 he worked at VIA “Gems”. After the termination of the contract, he participated in the activities of the Lotos group.

Vitaly Anatolyevich Bogdanov

Vitaly became the participant that every Russian now knows about. He is now 62 years old (born October 6, 1953). The years in which Vitaly was a member of the group, unfortunately, are unknown. And the biography itself remains a mystery; only a few facts appear in the press periodically. Now Bogdanov works in the State Duma. He is one of the members of the Council of the Russian Federation. I communicated well with such an artist as Alexander Nefedov.

Valentin Mikhailovich Dyakonov

He was educated at the Gnessin School. He has been working with Gems since 1971. After the collapse of the team, he collaborated with VIA “Plamya”. In 1978 he began his solo career.

Vladimir Natanovich Vinokur

Vladimir Natanovich comes from a Jewish family. His father was quite famous in the artist’s hometown - Kursk. Vinokur is 68 years old (born March 31, 1948).

People first started talking about Vladimir in 1962, when he sang a composition at an international competition and received first place for it. By the way, the gold medal was presented to him by Yuri Gagarin himself.

While studying at the assembly college, I tried to enter GITIS. Although he passed all the vocal rounds with a bang, he was not finally accepted due to the fact that he did not have documents about secondary education. He re-entered in 1969, while in the army. The decisive years in his life were 1973-1975. It was during this period that he met Yuri Nikulin and worked in the circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. In his fourth year, he gets a job at the Moscow Operetta Theater.

Vinokur joined the Gems team in 1975, as did Elena Presnyakova. Two years later he received a prize at the All-Russian Artists' Competition. And since then he has been conducting solo activities.

Arkady Dmitrievich Khoralov

Now Arkady is 65 years old (born January 26, 1961). He went to first grade in Melitopol. He graduated from school with honors. Along with compulsory education, he also received additional education - music. Can play the piano. In the same locality he graduated from the Institute of Agricultural Mechanization. Khoralov is a promising athlete. He was involved in athletics and football at a young age.

Before working in the Gems ensemble, he was active in several not so popular groups. Here he was a soloist since 1976. After the collapse of the group, he did not return for the second time.

Anatoly Isaakovich Mogilevsky

He studied at the local music school since 1995, but, unfortunately, was expelled. This happened due to the fact that Mogilevsky tried to combine study with work. In 1964 he received a place in one of the best restaurants in the Baltics, Lido.

In the summer of 1967, Anatoly was invited to audition for the VIO-66 orchestra. And already in the fall of this year he became a full-fledged soloist.

The father of such a famous artist as Dmitry Malikov, Yuri, took Mogilevsky to “Gems” in 1972. He recorded several hits with the group, but by the end of 1975, due to strong disagreements with the leader, almost all the soloists left the ensemble and founded their own - VIA "Flame".

Alexander Alexandrovich Barykin

Unfortunately, Alexander Barykin left our world at the age of 53 (born February 18, 1952). Since childhood I have been associated with music. He graduated from music school, and in high school he organized his own group.

I had already graduated from the institute in absentia, since I was unable to study full-time due to my busy schedule.

He joined the Gems team in 1976, but left it a year later, even before the arrival of such an excellent artist as Oleg Sleptsov. Working in this ensemble was one of his first attempts to break into the stage. It was after this that Alexander was able to get back on his feet and worked tirelessly. He often wrote poetry. Even being seriously ill, he still never refused to perform. In 2011, after a concert, he had a heart attack, and by morning the artist died. According to eyewitnesses, he had difficulty finishing the last songs.

Georgy Vasilievich Vlasenko

Georgy Vlasenko worked with many once famous Soviet groups that performed on the stage. He is a talented graduate of one of the Kharkov conservatories. He always arranges the songs; plays the keyboard and also tutors. His first professional appearance on stage took place in 1975 at the Philharmonic. He often wrote music for films produced by Mosfilm. Georgy was included in the Gems group twice. The first - from 1985 to 1987, the second - from 1995 to the present day.

Vyacheslav Grigorievich (Galustovich) Dobrynin

The People's Artist, known as a soloist and composer, celebrated his 70th birthday this year (born January 25, 1946). His parents were military men. It so happened that he had never seen Galust Petrosyan’s father (at the front they called him Grigory).

After graduating from school, Dobrynin entered Moscow State University. After some time, he began teaching at the same educational institution.

Vyacheslav's singing career began in 1989. Yuri Malikov invited Dobrynin to join his team. For a long time he wrote songs for the Gems ensemble, and performed some of them himself. The singer's solo career also turned out quite successfully.

Alexey Sergeevich Glyzin

Glyzin is now 54 years old (born January 13, 1954). Along with his general education, he also received a musical piano degree. I didn’t finish school; after the 8th grade I transferred to a technical school. He left this educational institution and began working in an ensemble.

He studied full-time at the Institute of Culture. Before going to work at Gems, he was a soloist in the Dobry Well Done ensemble. He moved to Yuri Malikov in 1977, but did not last more than 12 months. After him he moved to “Rhythm”, which accompanied the pop star Alla Pugacheva.

For nine years he was the lead singer of “Merry Guys”. In this group he performed quite a lot of hits. His career is very successful: he has released many albums and several collections of songs.

Artistic director - People's Artist of Russia Yuri Malikov

The Gems group is:

The rapid flourishing of the VIA genre in the early 70s led to the fact that by the end of the 80s many groups, including Gems, began to yield in terms of demand to the emerging new trends in popular music, which led to many of which to stop touring performances. The ensemble received its second wind in the mid-90s, when Yuri Malikov decided to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the formation of the VIA “Gems” by gathering many of its members and artist friends in the television program “Golden Hit”. The unexpected success of this TV show gave him the idea that he could try to continue his concert activities. As a result, the former soloists of the group, as well as invited musicians and singers, began to tour successfully again. The created concert program organically combined an unusually careful interpretation of the famous “Samotsvetov” hits with the bright vocal and acting works of Elena Presnyakova, Alexander Nefedov, Oleg Sleptsov and the talented arrangements of Georgy Vlasenko. Along with this, the group continued to work on new works, creating several compositions in the best traditions of the genre, such as “Last Year's Eyes”, “Ragtime on the Titanic”, “Christmas Snow”, which is a great merit of Vladimir Petrovich Presnyakov.

Georgy with his family - wife Irina and son Bogdan

Georgy Vlasenko is a singer, composer, soloist of the legendary “Gems”, a loving family man and just a good person - all this in our exclusive interview.

Georgy Vlasenko is a graduate of the Kharkov Conservatory in choral conducting. He worked in popular pop groups of the USSR. He actively takes part in all arrangements of the group “GEMS” and plays keyboard instruments. He began working on the professional stage in 1975 at the Belarusian Philharmonic in the ensemble of singer Viktor Vuyachich. Since 1977 he has worked in Moscow variety show concert programs. He was involved in recording music for films at the Mosfilm studio. Since 1981 he worked in Stas Namin’s group “Flowers”. From 1987 to 1995 he worked in the ensembles of Laima Vaikule and Mikhail Muromov. He began working in the Gems ensemble in 1985.

Georgy, you have worked for a long time in groups of different genres. There was perestroika, the musical world was changing. Is creativity different then and now?

The guys and I worked in different teams and from this experience - I can say for sure - there are only advantages! To your question, my answer will be this: if an artist is committed to creativity, then it doesn’t matter what time he works. If he has something to say to people, he does it at any time and at any age. The main thing is the message, honesty and soul!

Many artists who sing in a group have ambitions to sing solo. Are you one of those?

I’ll answer honestly - I’m not really in the mood for a solo project. Although I have my own songs, I don't think I should sing solo. There are people who do this much better than me. “Gems” and I are not just a group, we are a family!

What do you remember from the wide variety of touring life?

I remember places that have no analogues. For example, Baikal, Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power station, Far East. In general, there are quite a lot of such places all over the world.

Georgy, you are an experienced family man, who creates comfort in your home?

Each family member contributes. My wife Irina and I are trying to create comfort for ourselves and our son Bogdan. For example, the atmosphere of creativity and beauty is created by paintings, of which there are quite a lot in our home, and all the paintings were painted by my artist friends, each of them has some pleasant stories and memories associated with them. However, I believe that any thing can transform the interior if it has individuality. The highlight of my home was the fireplace that was given to me for my birthday. A fireplace is, first of all, warmth, romance, tenderness. What else could be better for the home of a loving, strong family?

Your son is a very talented child, what talents do you want to develop in him and what is his personal passion?

Bogdan has starred in videos, is present at many of our concerts, goes on stage, but he is still studying at the Vesna choir school, and is also studying a foreign language. I don’t know yet what he’s better at - Spanish or music, we’ll see later. The child must make his own choice, and we, parents, only guide and help him.

Tell us what “Gems” will please their fans in the near future?

“Gems” have already accumulated quite a lot of new material for a solo album, we will be releasing it. The video for the hit “Love Water” has been released. The tour is already underway, keep an eye on the schedule, there will be many anniversary concerts in Moscow and the regions.

The concept of “love” sounds very loud, but what does it mean for Georgy Vlasenko?

Love is when you constantly want to make your loved ones happy.

Georgy, New Year is coming soon, tell us about your family traditions associated with this holiday.

Usually, like all artists, we celebrate the New Year on stage, but if we decide to give up work, then we settle down in a cozy circle of family, close people and have a big celebration! At the beginning of January, it became an annual tradition to celebrate the New Year among Gems fans. Together with Lena Presnyakova, Oleg Sleptsov and Sasha Nefedov, we are doing a concert at the Central House of Artists, singing both people’s favorite songs and our new hits. After the Christmas tree, our entire team definitely has a vacation - I spend it with my beloved family. It happens that we actively relax outside the city, enjoying the fresh winter air and snow, and sometimes we go to warmer climes or simply abroad. I wish all the families of your readers harmony, peace, health, love and happiness!

An excerpt characterizing Vlasenko, Georgy Vasilievich

November 8th is the last day of the Krasnensky battles; It was already dark when the troops arrived at their overnight camp. The whole day was quiet, frosty, with light, sparse snow falling; By evening it began to become clear. A black purple starry sky could be seen through the snowflakes, and the frost began to intensify.
The musketeer regiment, which left Tarutino in the number of three thousand, now, in the number of nine hundred people, was one of the first to arrive at the appointed place for the night, in a village on the high road. The quartermasters who met the regiment announced that all the huts were occupied by sick and dead Frenchmen, cavalrymen and staff. There was only one hut for the regimental commander.
The regimental commander drove up to his hut. The regiment passed through the village and placed the guns on the goats at the outer huts on the road.
Like a huge, multi-membered animal, the regiment set to work organizing its lair and food. One part of the soldiers scattered, knee-deep in the snow, into the birch forest that was to the right of the village, and immediately the sound of axes, cutlasses, the crackling of breaking branches and cheerful voices were heard in the forest; the other part was busy around the center of the regimental carts and horses, placed in a pile, taking out cauldrons, crackers and giving food to the horses; the third part scattered in the village, arranging quarters for headquarters, selecting the dead bodies of the French lying in the huts, and taking away boards, dry firewood and straw from the roofs for fires and wattle fences for protection.
