Who does Nadezhda Kadysheva live with now? "barbaric splendor" of Nadezhda Kadysheva's apartments

He is a rich man and can afford to choose clients,” says Alexander. But it worked out. The Italian came to the National Theater of Folk Music and Song “Golden Ring” - the brainchild of Kadysheva and Kostyuk, talked with the customers “about life” and soon presented a three-dimensional project in which their apartment looked like it looks today. “To be honest, everything in the sketches was so luxurious that we doubted: is it possible to bring such splendor to life? And although the estimate scared us a little, the contract was signed. After all, they offered us a dream house. The designer and I shook hands, gave the keys to the builders and went to live in a rented apartment,” the couple say.

Nadezhda Kadysheva, a famous Russian singer who popularizes the genre of Russian folk song, was born on June 1, 1959 in the small Tatarstan village of Gorki, not far from Leninakan.

Childhood

The artist has Mordovian roots. There is a legend in the family that her grandfather was a very rich man. But there was no factual evidence of this. All he left behind were five daughters, one of whom became the future mother of Nadezhda.

In my youth

Her father was of worker-peasant origin and worked as a railway foreman, receiving a fairly good salary at that time. The mother stayed at home - there were four girls in the family who needed constant supervision and good upbringing.

Of all the girls, Nadya was the most restless and caused her parents the most trouble. She always joked that dad wanted a boy, and she gave him a taste of what it was like to have a tomboy in the family. Often the girl’s pranks ended in injury. She broke her knees and her head, and once almost went to the bottom, going swimming down a mountain river in her grandmother’s trough.

The parents did not live well. But the mother’s special talent was to make sure that the children did not notice the need. The house was always cozy, the girls were cleanly dressed and tasty fed. Unfortunately, she died early due to breast cancer, before reaching the age of 45. Nadya herself was barely 10 at that time.

Quite quickly, my father married a second time. The girls' fate changed dramatically for the worse. The stepmother already had her own children, who also moved into their father's house. It is clear that she cared about them first and foremost. The older girls quickly left in search of a better life, and the younger ones, Nadya and Lyuba, were sent to a boarding school. Soon the father died, and the girls were left completely alone.

Career

Nadezhda's artistic and musical abilities began to manifest themselves in early childhood. One day she got a big hit when she used old curtains on her “concert dress.” But when she and her sister finally performed in front of their parents and sisters, everyone unanimously declared that she definitely needed to be an artist.

At the boarding school, Nadezhda immediately made a name for herself by performing at a song competition with the then popular song “Eaglet”. She was praised and awarded a prize. Since then, she has taken an active part in all performances and concerts. But the girl studied at the boarding school only until she was 14 years old. Then she went to her sister and got a job as a student at a weaving factory.

There was a cultural center at the factory, where she happily sang and danced after her shift. Then she realized that she wanted to do this professionally, and not stand at the weaving looms all her life. The girl graduated from eight-year school and went to Moscow to enter the music school in the vocal department.

The selection committee highly appreciated the girl's vocal abilities, but she did not even have a minimum knowledge of musical notation - only innate talent. She was advised to take preparatory courses, which she did. After a year of preparation, Nadezhda was able to successfully pass the exams and become a student.

When the girl was in her third year, she was invited to join a new vocal group that was being created at Rosconcert. The girls sang folk songs in a modern arrangement. This work was a great chance not only to express themselves, but also to improve their financial situation - the team performed a lot, and the girls received modest fees for this.

Marriage and the Golden Ring

During her studies, Nadezhda lived in a modest student dormitory, where all music students were accommodated. One of the floors belonged to Gnesinka. There was a guy studying there with whom Nadezhda was secretly and hopelessly in love. To be closer to him, she even transferred to Gnesinka. But for a long time he did not show any reciprocal sympathy.

They began to communicate more closely when Sasha Kostyuk entered his final year. And after graduation, he suddenly invited Nadya to go meet his family, declaring that he was going to marry her. For several months, Nadezhda could not believe her happiness, until a wedding ring appeared on her finger, and their common child began to beat under her heart.

While Nadya was on maternity leave, Alexander came up with a wonderful idea - to create a new team, the star of which would be his wife. He hired talented musicians who made original arrangements of popular Russian songs. Then he selected singers and dancers and even managed to organize foreign tours for the group.

Rumors about the “Golden Ring” spread across Europe with lightning speed. Recordings of their concerts appeared on sale, and they successfully performed on tour even in Japan and the USA. And this despite the fact that in Russia practically nothing was known about the ensemble - it was not under the jurisdiction of Rosconcert, but was an independent commercial organization.

With Alexander Kostyuk

Kadysheva began actively touring Russia with her band only in 1993, when one of the largest recording studios, Soyuz, offered them cooperation and recording of several albums. For more than 20 years, “Golden Ring” has been one of the most famous and successful Russian groups, having received many Russian and international awards.

The son of Kadysheva and Kostyuk, Georgy, is also directly involved in the family business - he is the concert director of the ensemble. The hallmark of the group has become its bright handmade costumes, of which they have amassed a whole collection over many years of performances. Kadysheva is going to make a museum for her in the future.

With husband and son

The artist is successful and happy, and sometimes she can’t even believe that she almost said goodbye to life twice already. The first time this happened was when she, too, was found to have cancer cells. But the doctors reacted in time, and two years later the diagnosis was removed. And shortly before her fiftieth birthday, the artist almost died of a heart attack. But this time too, fate had mercy on her. She herself plans to delight us with her creativity for a long time.

Always, if an artist lives luxuriously, dresses from the most expensive couturiers, prefers a Mercedes for cars, and his housing looks like a royal mansion, then what happens? Yes, fans and colleagues are starting to say: “He’s arrogant, he’s become a star, he’s lost his conscience, how can you flaunt your income!” But there is, “in Russian villages,” a singer whom no one will blame for her costumes from Yves Saint Laurent or for the insanely expensive stucco on the ceiling in her apartment. Because she suffered through hard work and earned the right to live as she wants - this is Nadezhda Kadysheva. She is adored by ministers and cosmonauts, miners and factory workers; she is the personification of the words “the people’s, everyone’s favorite.”

A rare case: for thirty years with a ponytail on stage, no one has ever noticed her in scandalous actions, in her family there is peace and quiet, mutual understanding, and all her colleagues in the shop repeat one thing about her: “Golden voice, golden character, golden soul " Nadezhda Kadysheva never appeared at a concert in a bad mood or in a “anyhow” costume. She always looks impeccable, even when at home with her family. But this idyll was given to her through many sufferings, starting from childhood and ending with the not so distant past.

About a difficult childhood

The future star of folk song was born in the small village of Gorki in Tatarstan. The family, when the girl was still little, moved to the village of Stary Maklaush - the place was located on the border of Tatarstan, Orenburg and Samara regions. The village was so small that they didn’t even open a school there, and the Kadyshev children went to school in a neighboring village, 3 km away. there and back every day. In addition to Nadya, Nikita Mikhailovich and Anna Andreevna had three more daughters: the eldest Vera and Masha, and the youngest Lyuba.

Nadezhda’s father worked as a foreman on the railway, her mother did not work - she took care of the house and raised her daughters. The village was located next to the railway tracks; day and night the Kadyshevs could hear trains roaring and rushing outside their window. Then Nadezhda Nikitichna recalled: “A relative came to us for the first time, and suddenly she jumped up in a panic! He asks: what is making so much noise, is it a bombing or what? But the train passed by, we don’t even pay attention, we’re used to it.” The singer also fondly remembers how she and her sisters climbed through the currant thickets next to the railway tracks, picked berries, and then made jam with their mother.

Nadya, as everyone remembers, was naughty and active from a very young age. Either she will sit in an old trough and swim down the river (it’s a miracle she didn’t drown), or she will jump into a deep hole (she cut her leg so badly that she had to be taken to the hospital). Despite their very modest income, the family was friendly, dad and mom never fought, they loved their daughters and tried to pamper them at least occasionally. Kadysheva recalled that dad, when possible, brought his daughters some sweets or gingerbread.

In those Soviet years, “diseases of the soul” were considered a whim, a whim, or the result of fatigue; psychiatrists added the concepts of “neurosis, depression” to the official list of diseases relatively recently. When Anna Kadysheva “became depressed”, stopped smiling, and began to cry for no reason, her family thought: it’s okay, she’ll rest and everything will get better. And the depression was getting worse, my heart began to hurt, my blood pressure was jumping... The older sister dropped out of school so that she could help her mother with the housework and be at home when she needed to call the doctors. After one such ambulance call from Orenburg (Anna Kadysheva was taken there), a telegram arrived: “She has passed away.”

Why did a perfectly healthy woman suddenly have a heart attack? Doctors could not explain this. Well, yes, there were mood swings, everything fell out of my mother’s hands, she could suddenly start crying, but this cannot be the cause of death! She lost a lot of weight before her death, as her daughter Nadya later said - “she was drying up before her eyes,” but you don’t die from this! And in the village they whispered: another one of the Kadyshevs died, it’s a family curse.

The father of four sisters was completely at a loss; he could not understand that his wife had died so unexpectedly. Nadezhda Nikitichna recalled this moment:

“He came with two large bags, poured gingerbread cookies and sweets straight onto the table, and he was terribly confused...”

Another detail of that tragic day: sister Lyuba was carrying water home in two buckets, and when she heard about her mother’s death, she dropped the buckets and fell unconscious herself. Who will now look after the house, cook, and raise their daughters? Nadya was only ten years old when her father brought a new wife into the house.

Again the words of Nadezhda Kadysheva: “Did you watch the movie “Morozko”, did you see the stepmother there? This one came to us, just a classic version of a stepmother.” The woman got married, already having children of her own, but could not accept her new husband’s daughters, and began to slowly “eat” them. “You cook wrong, you clean badly, and in general you’re an eyesore,” constant reproaches rained down on the girls. The eldest, Vera, was the first to give up: she left for the city and got a job in a factory there. Masha (her stepmother insisted) was sent to the far North, to her relatives, and the remaining two sisters were simply sent to an orphanage.

Nadya and Lyuba are now at the Bugulma boarding school, their father sometimes writes, and secretly sends him some money from his wife. The boarding school teachers recalled that the sisters always stuck to each other, and they both sang constantly - Nadya sang especially well, who was even praised at the competition after her performance of “Eaglet.” The future singer is fourteen years old, graduated from eight classes, and she goes to her older sister - she lived in the Moscow region and worked at a weaving factory in Lobnya.

About youth and youth

Arriving in Lobnya, the girl immediately submitted documents to the Ippolitov-Ivanov Music School. At the very first exam - failure: “Where have you come? At least they learned the notes first. Go see a tutor and we’ll see you in a year.” But, as the popular song sang then - “We are not used to retreating!”: Nadya gets a job in the same factory where her sister works, and at the same time as working, she begins to attend preparatory school courses in order to definitely pass the competition next year. Work, then the train, courses, then back on the last train, and so on every day.

Vera, when her younger sister came to see her after boarding school, immediately set a condition: she would not feed Nadya, she did not need a parasite in the house! And who said that she was going to sit on her sister’s neck? Nadezhda worked without shirking: her shift began at five in the morning, then she was on her feet for eight hours with a short break for lunch. And I wanted to sing horror! A bobbin of thread is used instead of a microphone, the audience is the workshop workers, and now a folk song is heard throughout the entire plant! In one interview, the singer said that the film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears” is almost exactly about her. And Nadezhda’s old friend, Galina Guseva, recalled:

“The master comes and says: again her machines are empty, and she is singing. Well... let her sing, she’s doing great.”

A year after the girl arrived in Lobnya, her father died... The preparatory courses were not in vain: Nadya performed “Give me a scarf” at the exam, and she was accepted into the school. First, a folk song ensemble at the factory, and then an invitation to “Rossianochka.” Nadezhda was already in her third year at the school. Kadysheva then lived in the Gnesinki dormitory, and there she first saw her future husband, Sasha Kostyuk. Having fallen in love with a young man at first sight, she decides to go to this university to study in order to always be close to him.

It seemed to her that Alexander was completely indifferent to her: for four whole years she “had been pining for him unrequitedly” (her words), and suddenly, right after the final exams, he proposed to her! After this, Alexander took the girl home to introduce his young daughter-in-law to his relatives. Kostyuk’s parents did not express much joy, and Alexander in desperation asks Nadya: “Sing something as you know how.” Nadezhda begins to sing, and the future father-in-law and mother-in-law have tears in their eyes, she sang the folk song so soulfully. Immediately the parents blessed their son for marriage.

Meanwhile, the “ancestral curse” is again knocking on the Kadyshev family. Who would have thought that sister Lyuba, happily married and expecting her first child, would soon be no more? In the maternity hospital, the young mother caught an infection, and the baby, as it turned out, had a heart defect: Lyuba recovered, but her son, having lived only a year, died. Nadya's sister jumped out of the window out of grief, broke her spine, never recovered from the injury and died.

Alexander Kostyuk already understood then: he had to rely on his wife’s talent, and organized his own group, calling it “Golden Ring”. He not only decided to revive the folk song, but also to use ancient, no longer popular instruments at performances. But no matter how well the young soloist sang, no matter how original the arrangement, the new ensemble was not particularly popular among cultural officials. To say more: they hinted to Kostyuk that the “pseudo-folk” style was not in the spirit of the times; it would be better to sing something patriotic, standard.

The path to success abroad, then in your home country

This is how Nadezhda Kadysheva’s tour abroad began in 1998 (the year the Golden Ring was created): her husband decided to show the repertoire in Germany, then in Japan, and there the ensemble immediately gained incredible popularity! It’s amazing: in the USSR (at that time) they “turned their noses” at the words “folk ensemble”, and in Germany, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, spectators beat their palms, giving a standing ovation to “The Golden Ring” and Kadysheva. Moreover, not only emigrants, but also native residents loved the songs and music.

Kadysheva was applauded by Bolivia, Japan, China, the USA, and her native country learned about her talent... from the discs that diplomats and tourists brought from these countries. For five whole years, “The Golden Ring” toured the world until Russia realized: why don’t we listen to them? In 1993, the Soyuz company mercifully (there’s no other way to say it) entered into a contract with the group, and the first disc, “Am I Guilty,” was released. Despite the fact that the record was instantly sold out, critics tried to lower the rating of the singer and the ensemble: “This is not a folk style at all, but a pseudo-folk style. Musicians remake songs without permission, allowing for an arrangement that differs from the original. And what Kostyuk writes is completely fake,” they wrote in the newspapers.

My God, what a difference it makes what some people write – the viewer understands whether it’s “pseudo” or real! Tickets for concerts are in great demand, and the new disc “A Stream Flows” has been in the top sales for three whole years. The song of the same name from the disc became a popular hit (here is proof of the opposite about “pseudo-nationality”). Well-deserved awards followed: the titles of People's Artist of Mordovia and Russia, Honored Artist of Tatarstan. President Putin personally presented the singer with the award in the category “Twenty Best Women of Russia.”

Most of the songs of the Golden Ring group, specifically the music, were written by Alexander Kostyuk himself. For the last twenty years, not a single festive concert of the Russian stage has been complete without the participation of the ensemble and Kadysheva. She sings not only in folk style: chanson and purely pop compositions suit her organically. And in 2014, Nadezhda Nikitichna simply shocked the audience by performing on “Saturday Evening” a song from the repertoire “Bad Boys Blue” in a duet with American Kevin McCoy. It was not just a success: the audience began to applaud as soon as the singer entered the stage and, with her crystalline strong voice, sang in Russian to the melody of the famous hit: “After all, only you choose roads and dreams!”

More than twenty discs have been released, a huge number of recordings from concerts are circulating on the Internet - this is the result of the creative activity of Nadezhda Kadysheva, Alexander Kostyuk and their team. Many of the recordings have over three million views - how many talented pop artists can boast such a figure? The thirtieth anniversary of their successful career, which the couple celebrated in 2015, was celebrated with a grand concert, and almost four million people watched it on YouTube in a week.

Again Nadezhda Kadysheva is on the crest of fame, she can often be seen on TV, “Golden Ring” continues to tour successfully. And few people know that for many years the artist’s family life and career hung in the balance, and the reason was again the notorious “family curse.”

Health problems

Nervous diseases, as psychiatrists now know, can also be inherited. Anna Kadysheva, Nadezhda’s mother, suddenly died from “the blues,” that is, from neurosis and depression. Sister Lyuba also couldn’t bear the death of her little son because of this, but our artist’s life was going well, what does a “family curse” have to do with it?

At the age of twenty-five, when everything seemed to be fine: success on stage, a loving husband, new wealth, mood swings began and black depression set in. My hands gave up, I didn’t want to sing, let alone sing - my legs even refused to go on stage. The doctors shrugged: Kadysheva is absolutely healthy! They prescribed antidepressants and sedatives, but they didn’t help much, and Kalysheva started drinking handfuls of them. The addiction to drugs gave the opposite result: the mood deteriorated even more, I wanted to give up on everything. At that time, the singer began wearing kokoshniks, which fans perceived as a new style feature. But in fact, she didn’t even want to comb her hair, so she hid her hair under her headdress. Because of the damned drugs, the metabolism was disrupted, the singer gained as much as thirty kilos.

Two things saved me: music and the support of my beloved husband. You had to make an effort and go on stage, start singing, and the depression would recede while the song was being sung. And at home, Alexander tried to persuade her to stop taking medications: together they decided that Nadya should take one less pill every day. “I put one thing away from the slide, threw it away, but sometimes I broke down and climbed into the trash can after it!” – Kadysheva later recalled. The most difficult thing, according to her, was giving up the last pill - it didn’t go away for a very long time.

During a tour in the USA, Nadezhda suddenly became ill; before the concert she was taken to a clinic, where the doctors said a terrible thing: “Most likely you have cancer.” Kadysheva was thirty years old. Already at home she goes for examination, tests are done on her, the diagnosis is confirmed. Doctors warn: the disease is very advanced, the count is not months, but days, an operation is urgently needed. What it was: a mistake by the doctors, the last attempt of the “generational curse” to drive the woman to the grave is not known, but during the operation it turned out that there was no tumor.

To help his wife recover from depression and forget the horror of the threat of cancer, husband Alexander rents a former cinema on the outskirts of Moscow. He decided: he would do everything to make his beloved wife calm and cheerful again. There wasn’t much money for furnishings back then, so he brings home furniture from their apartment. “I almost carried everything there,” his wife laughs, recalling that period. The neglected premises have been turned into a modern theater with a cozy hall and excellent acoustics, where the ensemble of spouses and famous Russian performers perform.

At forty-nine years old, the artist again found herself on the brink of life and death, overcome by tachycardia. This time the doctors rose to the occasion and saved the people's favorite. From that moment on, the “ancestral curse” no longer makes itself felt; illnesses, even the most nonsensical ones, do not torment. The singer said: “Now I’m sure there is no karma or curse, I have overcome this milestone and will live a long time.”

About personal life

A marriage proposal from Alexander Kostyuk after only four years of dating - it was not without reason! He explains it himself this way:

“I also fell in love with Nadya right away, and I saw that she was not indifferent to me. But in my homeland (I’m from Ukraine) it’s customary: first learn, get on your feet, have a penny to support your family, and then get married.”

At first they rented a small apartment, and somehow they didn’t want more: they were constantly at concerts, then the tours began. And suddenly Nadezhda finds out that she is pregnant! Why have a child, it will interfere with her career, and her husband will probably be against it now - that’s what she thought and decided to get rid of the pregnancy. “I already bought a robe, made an appointment for an abortion, and then Sasha called (he was away). I tell him: I’ve already decided, we don’t need a child?” – the artist said later. There was a minute’s silence on the phone, and then the husband’s voice: “God forbid you do this, you’ll never see me next to you!”

This is how their son Grisha was born (a miraculous accident protected the baby). But the tour was not expected, and his parents sent him to his grandparents, Kostyuk’s parents. Nadezhda was terribly worried: she cried because she couldn’t see her son often, and when she came to visit, she hugged and said: “To hell with the stage, the songs, I’ll stay with you!” A small, but already smart beyond his years, the kid answered: “Mom, what are you doing, sing! Don’t worry, you have to sing.”

It was incredibly difficult for a family of provincials (even world-famous ones) to get an apartment, and even more so a Moscow registration. Kadysheva and Kostyuk were saved by the legendary Helena Velikanova, who “opened the door to the ministers with her foot” in those days. At some important government meeting, she stood up: “Now I will ask, no, demand, that the issue of Nadezhda Kadysheva be resolved! And you only need to talk about her while standing – she does so much for the country.” This is how Nadezhda and Alexander received a two-room apartment.

Finally, the opportunity arose to bring my son Grisha from Melitopol to Moscow and send him to a school in the capital. At first it was difficult for the boy: in Ukraine he studied in a language other than Russian, and the workload at the Moscow school was greater. Grigory even joked (albeit gloomily) when he started going to a new school: “It’s as if I didn’t go to high school, but immediately entered a university.” The parents continued to tour, took their son with them more and more often, and at school he began to study well, and absences did not affect his grades.

Money appeared, and Kadysheva and Kostyuk thought: maybe they should move to a bigger apartment? So they moved to Dolgorukovskaya Street, where they live to this day. A luxurious apartment on the eighth floor is not the apartment of an arrogant diva, but a cozy family nest. Every piece of furniture, every detail of the renovation is thought out and done with taste, so that the hostess and owner can relax after hard work - after all, at concerts they give it their all, so that later they are “squeezed lemons” (Nadezhda’s words).

The son grew up and already wanted independence, but Nadya and Alexander kept him under a tight rein for a long time: they demanded that he return home exactly at 11, so that he would always report where he was and what he was doing. Grigory was indignant and told his mother: “Look at yourself - you’ve lived alone since you were 14 and haven’t disappeared, I can do it too.” And then the time came for him to get married - he brought his chosen one to his father (that’s what Gregory calls his dad) and his mother for the bride’s wedding. “The daughter-in-law liked it, so she said - with God! You chose her, which means you like her,” this is how Kadysheva reacted to her son’s decision to get married. In 2015, Anzhelika and Grigory pleased their parents: Kadysheva and Kostyuk had a grandson, Alyosha. Grigory Kadyshev helps his parents, works in an ensemble and in a theater as a concert director.

What Nadezhda Kadysheva is doing now can be called in one word - happiness. She is, as in her youth, slim, beautiful, her eyes glow: “It’s as if Sasha and I haven’t lived together these years, we enjoy each other every minute,” this is how the singer answers questions about life. Yes, she says, the family is almost basking in luxury, but they can afford it: everything is earned through hellish labor, endless concerts, recordings, and tours.

Interesting facts about Nadezhda Kadysheva and her family

1. Helped me get a second, larger apartment... Viktor Chernomyrdin. He was a fan of the Golden Ring ensemble and tried to come to every one of their concerts. After one concert, Viktor Stepanovich’s wife said: “You know, Nadenka, Vitya can only fully relax and unwind while listening to your songs.” And then Chernomyrdin asked about the conditions in which the artists lived. Having heard that they had a two-room apartment, he promised to help. A few days later, the artist spouses received a warrant for a large apartment in an elite building.
2. While struggling with depression, someone advised Nadezhda to read prayers: God’s word will calm her down and heal her. That little prayer book that Kadysheva bought is still with her, even though it’s worn out. Before every concert, she always opens it and reads a prayer. The singer also mentions that she does not take medications at all, sometimes drinks brewed herbs.
3. The artist has two hobbies: collecting paintings and her outfits. She loves to collect not everyday ones, but stage ones: she has more than a hundred of them, and only a select few are allowed into the dressing room where they hang. “They are all original, unique, sewn in a single copy. I take care of them as my most important wealth,” explains the singer. But if no one is allowed to touch the outfits, then everyone can look at them through the glass: in the foyer of the Golden Ring Theater there is always an exhibition of costumes by Nadezhda Kadysheva.
4. The renovation of the luxurious apartment that Chernomyrdin helped get was done by Onofrio Yuculano, an Italian designer, a real “monster” in his field. Kadysheva and Kostyuk were warned: he is a rich, capricious man, and it is not clients who come to him, but he chooses whether people are worthy of his work. Onofrio came to the theater at the request of mutual friends, talked with them, and announced: the married couple had passed “face control”, he would be happy to design their apartment. The estimate, according to Nadezhda, frightened me (it seemed expensive), but the result later surpassed the most unimaginable dreams - a real Italian palace emerged.
5. While some of Nadezhda’s peers are breaking up with their boring husbands and looking at young men, she never ceases to admire her husband and loves him as in his youth. “The first ten years are lovers; then ten years - spouses; and then like sister and brother - that’s what they say about happy families. And we are brother and sister, and a happy woman and man,” her words about the secret of family happiness.
6. Fellow artists adore Kadysheva and her husband and always say nice things about them. “Who talked about pseudo-nationality there? She is so extraordinary, her voice is simply golden, she is a beautiful woman, that’s why she deserves success,” this is how Joseph Kobzon spoke about her. And here’s what Natasha Koroleva said about them: “Nadezhda has a husband - God bless everyone, he is her main strength, he is like the engine in their family life, that’s why they are so successful.”
7. Favorite place where Nadezhda Nikitichna goes with her husband when she comes to St. Petersburg is the Spit of Vasilyevsky Island. They look at the newlyweds (this place is very popular after visiting the registry office), remember how Sasha helped cope with illnesses, how he even hired a cook, “so that Nadya would be calmer and nothing would distract her,” how he saved her from drug addiction. And every time Kadysheva says to her husband: “As long as there is order and love in our house and between us, then life will be successful.”

The small village of Old Maklaush in the Samara region, only at first glance, is almost the same as thousands of others throughout Russia. There is a village club, a couple of shops, a church, a cemetery and several dozen houses. In fact, this village is “starry”. The famous Russian singer Nadezhda Kadysheva spent her childhood here.

Now the soloist of the Golden Ring ensemble, and in the past little Nadya, frolicked and studied in the village of Stary Maklaush, Klyavlinsky district of the Samara region. Komsomolskaya Pravda went in search of the star’s relatives.

There's not a soul on the street. One of the gates is slightly open, local residents are making something there.

Where do Nadezhda Nikitichna's relatives live?

There, the house, red and white, there,” the man points with his finger, “it’s true that Nadezhda rarely comes to them.”

PICKLES FOR A STAR

An elderly couple meets us at the gate: Nadezhda Kadysheva’s second cousin Vladimir and his wife Lyudmila Stakin. At the door you are asked to show your ID. Nadezhda Kadysheva visits her brother almost every year. The team of the Golden Ring ensemble is waiting for her on the bus at this time. She comes to visit with her husband Alexander Kostyuk.

We usually sit here in the kitchen. “We’re joking,” Nadezhda’s brother makes an ambiguous gesture with his palm on his neck. - Nadya and Sasha bring gifts, sausages and various delicacies.

For me personally, she is not a star, as if a neighbor came from the village,” Lyudmila interrupts her husband

The stars do not continue their journey empty-handed. Relatives give them pickles, all natural from the garden.

Nadezhda herself is worried that she can’t visit her native places more often.

When I come to the village, the whole village gathers to talk: the families of the Kayashevs, Chepkunovs, Kadyshevs, Rashkins, Sinyaevs and others. I often communicate with my sister from Nizhnevartovsk,” the singer sighs.

NADIA, HELP!

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the residents of Maklausha gather in the temple for a service. Just a few years ago there was no heating there. Parishioners prayed in mittens, without taking off their hats and fur coats. Father, in the most severe frosts, led the service in a cassock. The priest and local residents wrote letters to Nadezhda. More than a year ago, by a lucky coincidence, they met.

I see painfully familiar people standing near the cemetery. “I didn’t see Nadezhda, but I recognized her husband Alexander right away,” says Father Dionysius, “they served a memorial service for Nadezhda’s parents.

Rumors about the visit of her fellow countrywoman quickly spread throughout the village, and Maklausha long-livers ran to meet the singer.

We are sitting on the rubble, Olga is running, “Zina, hurry up!” Nadya has arrived there! I scream, Luda, let's go! We caught up with Nadya and walked into her arms. “I’m saying for God’s sake, Nadya, help us,” a local centenarian says excitedly.

“I’ll definitely send you money when I arrive,” Nadezhda Kadysheva answered.

I didn't deceive you. Soon the priest had more than 100 thousand rubles for heating. Along with communications, 4 luxurious candlesticks appeared in the church. Father Dionysius hopes that the star will continue to help the temple. The Maklaush residents want to switch the church to wood heating and raise the masonry.

Nadezhda’s parents Nikita Mikhailovich and Anna Andreevna rest in the cemetery not far from the church. Last year, the soloist of the Golden Ring ensemble visited relatives’ graves and erected new fences and monuments.

One day Kostyuk proposed making a museum out of an abandoned house where his wife lived. The singer stops next to him every time and, according to the villagers, wipes a tear from her eye.

Of course, I miss my native village,” the singer sighs, “I was born and lived there for about 12 years. Later, my dad was transferred to work at the Dymka station; he was a railway worker for me: he worked as a foreman on the railway. It was in childhood that I learned Mordovian and Russian folk songs and dances.

Soon Samarans will have the opportunity to hear folk songs performed by our countrywoman. On September 16, “Golden Ring” performs at the District House of Officers, at 19:00.

BY THE WAY

The village club in Old Maklausha has its own artists. The vocal group “Dushechka” travels around the Samara region and participates in various festivals. The seven-member choir performs in Klyavlino, Samara and Tolyatti. And the songs of the Golden Ring ensemble are also performed.

HELP "KP"

Nadezhda Kadysheva was born on June 1, 1959 in the village of Stary Maklaush, Samara Region. Besides her, there were four more girls in the family. Nadezhda's father was a railway foreman, and her mother was a housewife. The mother was often depressed and ill. When Nadezhda was ten years old, her mother died and her father married for the second time. After school, Nadezhda got a job at a textile factory in Ivanovo. Now her concerts attract full houses.

The famous artist Nadezhda Kadysheva openly spoke about her tragic fate. The singer suffered several terrible blows at once: she lost her mother, sister and nephew.

ON THE TOPIC

“My mother died so young. The doctors said she was killed by a heart attack. But I know that it was all due to the depression that had been burning her heart for many years. And no one could understand why,” the “Golden Ring” soloist mourns.

Following this grief, another one befell Kadysheva: her nephew died very young. " He was so tiny, so cute. But God gave him only a year to live.. He died of a congenital heart defect,” Nadezhda said through tears.

Unable to survive the death of her son, the singer’s sister jumped out of the window. “During childbirth, doctors introduced an infection to Lyubasha. Infection began, and when her baby died, she jumped from the third floor out of grief. She broke her spine and was bedridden for ten years. Until she died,” recalls the artist.

After all the experiences, Nadezhda was almost crushed by a new test. When Kadysheva was only 30 years old, doctors discovered she had a breast tumor. " For two years I lived with the idea that I would soon die. I understood that the end was near, and I was already mentally saying goodbye to my loved ones. And during the operation it turned out that there was no cancer. If it weren’t for my husband, who didn’t leave me alone with trouble, I would have gone crazy,” the singer admitted to the “Secrets of the Stars” magazine.

At the age of 49, the artist was overtaken by heart disease - acute tachycardia, which can lead to a heart attack. " My heart was beating like it was about to burst, - Nadezhda complained. – Or it would freeze so that it was barely audible. Thank God, the doctors were then able to “calm down” the heart rate.”

During that difficult period, Kadysheva was seriously afraid of a curse, because of which women in her family did not live long. " I was looking forward to my 40th birthday with horror., - Nadezhda said sadly. – What if I won’t be able to cross this threshold? Fear burned me completely. But as I entered my fifties, it became morally easier.”
