Lena Lenskaya: “It takes a real man. Possible without money

Vladimir Presnyakov Jr. is a popular pop singer, known for his original high voice.

The peak of his popularity came in the 90s of the last century, but even now the singer is working on creating musical compositions, delighting fans with new projects. Presnyakov also acts as an arranger and composer.

Childhood and youth

The future musician was born in Yekaterinburg in musical family. was the leader of a pop ensemble and a laureate of several jazz festivals. The boy's mother, whose maiden name was Elena Kobzeva, and later, was a soloist in her husband's ensemble. The musicians toured and enjoyed success, but the growth of their popularity was yet to come.

In the mid-80s, Presnyakov Sr. was accused of imitating the West and inappropriate behavior during performances. Because of this musician for a long time they didn’t even take him into amateur performances, which could not but affect the well-being of his family.

The only child of Vladimir and Elena Presnyakov was not surrounded by special chic as a child: not having their own home, at the dawn of their marriage the young parents lived in Elena’s family, where there were 6 people per 2-room apartment. But this situation did not prevent Volodya’s creative gift from developing. Presnyakov Jr., from the age of 4, tried to compose songs, later he played the piano, was bursting with ideas, the explosive energy of youth, and certainly could not be called an obedient and quiet example of diligence.

Over the years, the musical couple’s living situation began to improve: first, they received a room in a communal apartment “one by one,” then they met the leader of the ensemble and moved to the capital.

By the time of this event, Vladimir was 7 years old, and family council it was decided to leave the child in his hometown. The boy was sent to study at a Sverdlovsk boarding school, where his father also studied at one time. However, the rebellious spirit of the future musician was not conducive to diligent study, and after 2 years the student was expelled, after which the parents took their son to Moscow.

The creative biography of the future musician began early - at the age of 11 he composed his first full-length song. Vladimir immediately chose the musical path and entered the Choir School. Sveshnikova. Constant absenteeism, smoking and other “unformatted behavior” were the reason for regular calls to the school by parents who could not influence the headstrong teenager.

He was expelled from the Sveshnikovsky Music School in 1982, which coincided with the year of his first independent tour, made as part of the group “Cruise”, which played hard rock.

Early penetration into adulthood, older friends - in childhood, Volodya’s main circle of friends were his parents’ colleagues - and a rebellious character determined the formation of a musician: already at the age of 15, the future star made his solo debut in a restaurant variety show.

A peculiar high voice, formed after pneumonia, during which the singer feared that he would lose his gift altogether, acquaintance with artistic world and hard work formed the beginnings of future success, and the charisma of a disheveled rebel added magnetism.

Personal life

Attention to the popular musician was attracted not only by his work, but also by his wives. Well known serious relationship, like everything else in the life of the younger Presnyakov, began to take shape early. At the age of 18, he met the 15-year-old daughter of Alla Pugacheva. Nothing interfered with these early relationships, Presnyakov’s lifestyle and his social circle only contributed to such experiments: the touring life of his parents, filming, festivals, concerts, the circle of friends who did not follow the formalities of marriage.

As a result, Presnyakov and Orbakaite became a married couple when Kristina turned 16, not considering it necessary to interfere with the bureaucracy in her own destiny. The parents, initially shocked by the act of their talented offspring, could only come to terms with and support the decision of the young couple.

The musicians did not hide their relationship and often demonstrated it with various youthful touching gestures, for example, wearing badges with each other’s names. The small age difference did play a role: Christina later said that Presnyakov literally raised her.

Presnyakov remembers this with particular warmth, saying that they lived like an Italian family, and there was always music and songs in the house.

The first official wife of Vladimir Presnyakov was fashion designer Elena Lenskaya, who is called main reason the singer's departure from Orbakaite. According to another version, which is supported by many media outlets, it was Christina who left Presnyakov, and he had a hard time with the breakup, to the point of depression and clinical death.

She pulled him out of this terrible period new love. This relationship also lasted just under 10 years and was finally interrupted in 2005, when the singer met Natalya Podolskaya, a graduate of the Star Factory show.

The lovers did not rush, indulged in the pleasure of meetings for several years, and then arranged an unforgettable “make-believe wedding” in Las Vegas, covered with such stories.

Vladimir Presnyakov Jr. got his hair cut. On his 46th birthday he appeared with short hair instead of the usual thick head of hair. But fans admitted that such a radical rejection of the image of the “eternal boy” only made their idol visually younger and more attractive.

Lena Lenskaya: “Ha...Ah. »

Alexey Glyzin: “We won’t hide it, we have known each other for many years, the romance lasts for many years, hello to the romance, let it last longer”

Lenskaya: “No! He doesn't happy man! He looks happy, but inside he hurts, his soul is crying, I feel good about him, he is kind, but...”

Who would have thought! But who else if not to a loved one, the essence is visible. Lenskaya and Presnyakov lived together for more than 9 years, now with Volodya new passion! Natasha and Volodya look very happy. Why such conclusions? Maybe Lenskaya has ordinary female envy?

We tried, but for a maximum of 2 months. “I always felt that our relationship was complicated, I was just afraid to have children.”

Time heals, Lena, having come to her senses, again decided to throw in her lot with a man, this time it was an ordinary businessman. But even here Lenskaya made a mistake!
