Natalya Vetlitskaya did not discover the world of music from early childhood, unlike many of her stage colleagues. The first step towards developing her creative abilities was joining a ballroom dancing studio when the girl was 10 years old.

As a teenager, Natasha could not decide on her future career. The girl went to a music school, where she learned to play the piano and at the end of her studies even received a gold medal. Dancing classes were not abandoned.

In 1981, 2 significant events occurred in the life of Natalya Vetlitskaya - the end of high school and the beginning of teaching in the dance field.

Career

In 1983, Natalia recorded songs for the musical film “Mary Poppins, Goodbye.” The following year she played a small role in the film “Above the Rainbow”.

In 1985, the film “Off-Schedule Train” was released, in which Natalia’s song plays (in the credits she was recorded under her husband’s name).

One day, a friend invited Natalia to the rock group “Rondo”. Here she had several positions at once: dancer, dance director, backing vocalist.

1986-1988 – Natalya Vetlitskaya dances and sings in the groups “Idea Fix” and “Class”.

The first video “Look into your eyes” (dir. F. Bondarchuk) was released in 1992. After 4 years, Natalya Vetlitskaya finished recording the album “Slave of Love”.

In 1997, she starred in the film “The Newest Adventures of Pinocchio” and recorded 3 soundtracks together with other actors.

After 6 years, Natalya Vetlitskaya received another acting experience in the film musical “The Snow Queen”, where she played the Princess.

From 2004 to 2009, two videos were released. From that moment on, activity in show business began to decline.

How was your personal life: husbands, children

The pop diva of the 90s had four official husbands:

  1. Pavel Smeyan is a musician, singer, actor.
  2. Zhenya Belousov is a pop singer. The marriage lasted from January 1 to January 10, 1989.
  3. Kirill Kirin is a fashion model.
  4. Alexey (surname unknown) – conducted yoga classes for Natalya. The common daughter is Ulyana (born in 2004).

Natalya Vetlitskaya also had unregistered relationships with famous show business personalities: D. Malikov, V. Stashevsky, M. Topalov, S. Zverev. She also met with an influential businessman, Suleiman Kerimov.

At the moment, Natalya Igorevna lives in Spain with her daughter Ulyana.

Hobbies

After the birth of a child at the age of 40, the singer left the stage, and in 2008 she left the country. After moving, she took up painting, yoga, blogging and charity work.

There is practically no news about the singer. It is known that she lives with her daughter in a beautiful house in an elite area of ​​the Spanish city of Denia. Recently, paparazzi photographed Natalya Vetlitskaya and Ulyana in a local supermarket:

Natalia's devoted fans still hope that someday they will see the singer in new musical projects in Russia.

One of the brightest pop stars of the 90s, Natalya VETLITSKAYA, has not appeared on television for a long time, does not participate in social events and does not communicate with journalists. She reminds of her existence only with poisonous posts about show business and politics on LiveJournal and other social networks. We decided to find out where the favorite of many Russian men disappeared, and turned to those who worked and communicated with her.

It was I who once opened Natasha Vetlitskaya to the general public,” the legendary producer did not fail to boast Andrey Razin. - We met her in the mid-80s on tour in Saratov. I was then the director of the Mirage group. And she performed with her husband Pavel Smeyan and danced at the same time Serezhi Minaeva. One day I was walking along a hotel corridor and saw a girl with a black eye fly out of Smeyan’s room, followed by a suitcase. Smeyan swore at the girl and locked himself in the room. She began hitting the door with her fists and calling him an “asshole” and other words. I calmed her down and asked: “What happened?” “I am Smeyan’s wife,” she explained. “He became jealous of Minaev, beat me up and threw me out.”

Since she was left on the street and had nowhere to go, I decided to take her into the Mirage group as a dresser. Soon, on tour in Almaty, I quarreled with the lead singers of the group Natasha Gulkina And Sveta Razina. They got me. They demanded higher wages - 50 instead of 25 rubles. Although they just opened their mouths to the “plywood” of Margarita Sukhankina. And I convinced the producers of Mirage Andrey Lityagin And Sasha Bukreeva kick them out and put in their place Vetlitskaya and the keyboard player’s wife Slava Hromadsky Tanya Ovsienko, who also worked as a costume designer for us. True, the author of the texts prevented this in every possible way Valera Sokolov, who was madly in love with Razina. But I still achieved my goal.
From the first day, when Vetlitskaya appeared with a black eye, I felt great potential in her. Compared to these collective farmers Gulkina and Razina, Natasha looked like Mount Elbrus with a height of 5.5 thousand meters next to the 100-meter Mount Podkumok. And how beautifully she danced! The best in the group! It is not surprising that after “Mirage” she immediately became a star.
Unfortunately, her secret oligarch husbands, who gave her money for expensive videos and television broadcasts, actually drowned the artist in her. These owners were jealous of her at every post and did not let her go anywhere. They wanted her to stay at home. “Well, why don’t you tour? - I asked her once. “You are so popular.” “My husband doesn’t allow me,” she replied. Natasha has not crawled out of this quagmire to this day. She crossed out everything. Leads a closed lifestyle. As artistic director of the Olympic Committee and director of the International Olympic Festival, I tried several times to arrange her concerts. But everything was useless.

Wedding night for four

On the New Year 1989, I had the opportunity to be a witness at the wedding of Natasha Vetlitskaya and Zhenya Belousova, who started in my group “Integral,” another legendary producer reminisced Bari Alibasov. - The second witness was the Integral illuminator Andrey Popov. First, Zhenya and Natasha and I went to the registry office in one of the working-class districts of Moscow. We walked for a long time along the gray identical streets with identical Khrushchev-Brezhnev houses. Then they came to Natasha’s one-room apartment to celebrate the wedding. Apart from the Christmas tree that stood in the middle of the room, there was absolutely nothing in the apartment - no table, no chairs, no bed. I remember we drank champagne and vodka from a bottle and spent a very long time looking for something to lie down on. In the end, they laid some kind of rag on the floor and the four of us spent our wedding night on it. Popov and I’s presence did not hinder the newlyweds at all. Since there was practically no snack, after drinking they passed out and forgot about their marital duties.

And nine days later, the marriage of Zhenya and Natasha ended successfully. To be honest, I still don’t understand why he was imprisoned at all. Yes, they had a close relationship before that. At that time I still lived in Zelenograd. And the two of them came to see me in Zelenograd several times. They even stayed overnight. This mating season lasted for almost a whole year. But, perhaps, by the time they got married, everything had already boiled over.
In the early 90s, Natasha formed a very successful tandem with a businessman Pavel Vashchekin. With his help, she shot “Look into your eyes” and a couple of other interesting videos, becoming the founder of a certain style in music and video. Before her, no one had done anything like this. It was very original, impressive and fresh. The image of a successful socialite she created was later adopted by Ksenia Sobchak and many other media personalities.
But I haven’t seen or heard from Natasha herself for many years. They say that she became a recluse and devoted herself either to charity or to some kind of spiritual quest. However, recently many of the artists who made a name for themselves in the 90s have not been seen or heard from. This is the problem of our show-mother!-business. Talented people are simply washed out to clear the way for someone else's new protégés.

Sperm donor

Natasha Vetlitskaya and I unexpectedly became friends 13 years ago,” the singer said. Tatyana Antsiferova. - She was brought to my house by the lead singer of the group “Kalinov Most” Dima Revyakin. He said that Natasha is a longtime fan of mine and really wants to meet me. At that time she was living in a civil marriage with Suleiman Kerimov. But she never told me anything about him or about her other men. We talked mainly about musical topics. For example, I always really liked the singer Mine. I've been following her since the 60s. And Natasha, as it turned out, was also interested in her work. She even had Mina's notes that I didn't have. This immediately endeared her to me.
When Natasha broke up with Kerimov, I introduced her to Misha Topalov. He was then promoting the group “Smash”, asked me to do vocals with the guys and often came to see me. On one of his visits, Natasha happened to be my guest. They began a passionate relationship. They even talked about a quick wedding. But in the end, something didn’t work out.

The last time we saw Natasha was in 2009. Her daughter Ulyana was 5 years old at the time. The girl was very beautiful - fair-haired, blue-eyed. Both Topalov and Kerimov were attributed to her as fathers. From whom Natasha actually gave birth to her, I don’t know. Maybe she even used donor genetic material from a data bank. One of my students gave birth to a daughter this way. I went somewhere and chose. No one knows where dad is. Information from the data bank is not disclosed. Maybe Natasha did the same.
She now lives with her daughter in Spain. According to her, living abroad is calmer. From time to time I receive links from her on social networks - sometimes to some photographs, sometimes to excerpts from yoga, sometimes to advice on how to “let go of my brain.” But I communicate with her extremely rarely. We somehow grew apart from each other. Despite the fact that my health does not allow me to perform, I still continue to make music. And Natasha lost all interest in her. Once, friends from Israel sent me their songs. I asked Natasha for advice on who to offer them to. “I cut ties with everyone in show business,” she replied. “I’m far away from all this now.” It was very strange for me to hear this. If music is your calling, it seems to me that you can’t just pick it up and throw it away. Maybe Natasha will also shudder and remind everyone of herself. Personally, I'm very sorry that she doesn't sing anymore. Our stage is full of musical “hillbillies” that I hate. And there are practically no such intelligent “urban” singers as Vetlitskaya.

Ofigela from Kerimov

I think I’m one of the few who have recently communicated with Natasha Vetlitskaya,” suggested the famous composer and arranger, who asked that his name not be used in the newspaper. “She was always a person of good humor, and not everyone was able to maintain a good relationship with her. Our acquaintance began back in the mid-90s. Natasha then broke up with Pasha Vashchekin and hung out with Vlad Stashevsky, with whom I collaborated. When Stashevsky recorded with Arkady Ukupnik at the studio at Olimpiysky, she constantly came and left with him. I often went to his apartment, where he lived with his mother. She brought him gifts. And then they suddenly quarreled to smithereens. They had a joint concert at the Harlekino club in the Cinema Center. And Vetlitskaya had a conflict either with the make-up artist or with the costume designer, who did something wrong.

And the producer of Stashevsky Yuri Aizenshpis had the temerity to interfere. Natasha freaked out and started yelling at him. It almost came to a fight. After that, she no longer communicated with either Aizenshpis or Stashevsky. Even her director got it from Vetlitskaya Andrey Chernikov, who had worked with her since the days when she lived with Dima Malikov. “Natasha sometimes beats me,” he complained to me. “When she’s in a bad mood, she’ll punch me in the face!”
Having met Suleiman Kerimov, Vetlitskaya did not hide her delight. “I was blown away by what kind of person this is! - she told me. - He spares nothing for me. He gives me bags of money.” But the material benefits that fell on her also had a downside. Once Stashevsky mentioned in an interview that Vetlitskaya was his mistress. Kerimov became furious and began to attack Aizenshpis: “What kind of bullshit is this?!” You owe me 100 thousand dollars in compensation. If you don’t bring this money in two days, I’ll kill you.” Aizenshpis, who usually threatened to kill and bury everyone himself, was so scared that he went to the hospital with a heart attack. As Vetlitskaya said, Kerimov was not pleased with her director Andrei Chernikov. “Who is this bald fagot hanging around next to you? - he was indignant. - I hate fagots! Get him the hell away!”

Gradually, Natasha practically stopped communicating with her show business colleagues. She performed only on television filming and at expensive “reserves”, where she was paid 30-40 thousand euros. And then, according to Vetlitskaya, Kerimov tensed: “What the hell are concerts?! How much do you need? "Half a lemon" of dollars? Take it and don’t go anywhere!”
And four years ago Natasha and her daughter moved to Spain. Her house is located on the coast opposite the island of Ibiza. She said that she bought it at a big discount - almost half the price. It was just the height of the crisis then. Real estate prices collapsed. And she successfully took advantage of this situation.
During our last conversation on the phone, Natasha complained that she wanted to sell her house in New Riga, which Kerimov left her, but could not find a buyer. Her house is huge - 3000 square meters.

All stuffed with electronic stuffing. As they say now, “smart home”. You can, say, being in America, press a button, and the cameras will show who went where. A house like this costs a lot of money. Well, who will buy it? The price needs to be greatly reduced. However, Natasha is determined to get rid of Moscow real estate. “I’m not going to return to Moscow,” she said. - There's not much to do here. I'm already tired of show business. I don’t want to be like Alla Pugacheva or Sonya Rotaru. They are already old ladies. But they go on stage for the sake of money. Why do I need this? I have no problems with money. I just live for my own pleasure."

How many hours should each person work per month according to the labor code? A job seeker must know his rights. To know them, you need to read the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. But many, of course, first of all, are too lazy to do it. Secondly, they trust the manager, thirdly, they get a job in order to work, get paid, they don’t care about the allotted time. As a result, they don’t know how many hours per month they can work under labor laws. A person can overwork several hours every day, a huge amount of overtime is obtained per month, and the salary remains unchanged. Management is required by law to tell the employee his rights, but in reality this does not happen. Also, no employer allows an employee to read the laws. Before employing an employee, management explains all the intricacies of work at the enterprise. Schedule, work on weekends, holidays - paid at what rate, etc. That is, the employee needs to know exactly how many hours he must work per month according to the labor code, and the rest of the additional ones are paid separately. It is mandatory to conclude an employment contract, which includes all the responsibilities of the employee and management. The employee undertakes to work for the prescribed period, not to skip work, the manager undertakes to issue wages at the appointed time. The contract also states how many hours a person will work per day according to labor law. How much should a person work? According to the law, 40 hours per week per month 160. These are the norms. How many hours of time are there per day according to the labor code? Eight hours. These are standards that must be observed, while a person can work less than this time, but no longer. If an employee agrees with the employer that he will work, for example, 8 hours plus one more hour a day, then payment is made for 60 minutes. double processing. If a person earns 100 rubles per hour, then he receives 200 rubles per hour of overtime. If an employee works at an enterprise from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., then he must work for two days, after three, only this way the employer will not violate the Labor Code. How many hours should a 16 year old child work? According to the Labor Code, working hours per week do not exceed 24. For disabled people, a schedule of 35 is also provided. If the employee goes out on a day off, he receives double pay. That is, having worked a legal shift with a salary of 800 rubles a day, on a day off he receives 1,600 rubles. Employers often break the law. This must be stopped. If you know the laws, you can avoid problems.

Becoming at the end of the fiery 80s soloist of the group "Mirage", Natalya Vetlitskaya won the hearts of millions. In the 90s, her songs were heard from all radios. The bright, flexible blonde instantly became a sex symbol of the time. But where did she go at the peak of her popularity in 2004 and why does she attract such interest from journalists?

In one of her posts on social networks, Natalya stated that she did not want to return to her homeland and only wanted peace. Editorial "So simple!" I decided to find out what happened to the talented singer and what made her leave the country.

Natalya Vetlitskaya and her daughter

Star Vetlitskaya's career began back in 1983, when she took part in recording songs for the film “Mary Poppins, Goodbye.” In 1985, the film “Train Off Schedule” appeared on the screens, in which a song performed by Natalya sounds. In 1988, the artist became one of the soloists of the Mirage group, with which she toured almost the entire USSR. The songs of this group are still listened to and sung to this day.

The singer also pursued a solo career. She released 8 albums, sang with many celebrities, and also starred in several films. By the way, her first solo video was directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk himself. She set trends in haircuts, young girls imitated her, her songs sounded everywhere. But in 2004, she suddenly left the stage, although she was at the peak of her popularity.

Vetlitskaya decided to radically change her life at the age of 40 - she became a mother. True, at first she did not want to give birth, but producer Viktor Yudin persuaded her to keep the child. However, Vetlitskaya has not announced the name of her daughter’s father to this day.

As you may have guessed, Natalya completely devoted herself to the child. She is also very interested in yoga and makes pilgrimages to India several times a year. The former singer lives with her daughter in a small two-story house in the small Spanish town of Denia. She has a nanny and a gardener. Natalya never got married. In her free time, she decorates and restores houses, and also rents out housing in Spain.

Not long ago, Natalya was invited to appear on television in Moscow. To which she gave a very sharp and bold answer, which she posted on the Internet: “When I needed Channel One, it didn’t need me. And now, when I don’t need him at all, he desperately needs me. There is no justice in life."

Glory must no longer attract her at all, because the other day Vetlitskaya posted a daring and arrogant message to media representatives on a social network: “To everyone interested in my interviews and who wants to get in touch with me through my friends and acquaintances, at all costs I want to say only one thing: leave this hopeless idea.

You can try to hound me in your media as much as you want in an attempt to anger or scare me in order to provoke a response, but the interview will never happen. Because I despise you. Look for another object for your bourgeois curiosity.”

The ex-singer monitors the political and economic situation in her homeland, constantly watches and reads news from Russia. And he speaks quite sharply about life in Moscow, criticizes everything: new laws, roads, changes on television, etc. She has not appeared in the capital for about two years: “For me, Spain is no less dear, but even more so...”

Natalya rarely publishes new photos, but they clearly show that she looks much younger than her 52 years. Apparently, the radical changes in her life only benefited her.


Natalia Vetlitskaya

This singer was called the most beautiful and sexy on the stage in the late 1980s - early 1990s. Natalya Vetlitskaya was not distinguished by outstanding vocal abilities, but when she appeared on stage, it was impossible to take your eyes off her. At the peak of her popularity, the spectacular blonde suddenly disappeared. There were many rumors: that she had gone abroad, that another patron was forbidding her to perform, and that she had become interested in yoga and show business had simply become uninteresting to her.

For a short time Vetlitskaya was the lead singer of the group *Mirage*

Soon the whole country heard her voice: in 1983 she recorded songs for the film “Mary Poppins, Goodbye!”, and two years later everyone was able to see the owner of this voice in the program “Morning Mail”. In 1988, Vetlitskaya participated in the recording of “New Year’s Light”, performing together with other singers the composition “Closing the Circle”. In the same year, she became the lead singer of the Mirage group, and although Vetlitskaya did not last long there, it was during this period that real popularity came to her. Together with the group, the singer traveled throughout the USSR.

In addition, she really became interested in yoga, went to courses in India and took these classes very seriously: “This is not a one-day hobby, it is constant improvement and replenishment of the knowledge that you already have. This is the discovery of those abilities in yourself that you didn’t even know about. You improve yourself both externally and internally.”
