Diana was born on July 8, 1974 in the Belarusian city of Volozhin, located on the border with Poland. There are still many blank spots in the biography of a talented woman.
Childhood and early years
The parents of young Diana Kulachenko were journalists. Mother, Galina Anisimovna Fedchenko, worked on television. Father, Sergei Ivanovich Kulachenko, was a lesser known ─ an ordinary journalist. Due to her parents’ profession, the girl had to move to Chukotka at a young age. There the girl received a musical education. At the time of the move, she was only six years old. Two years after this, mother and father divorced.
Galina Anisimovna married a second time, Arbenina’s stepfather was the surgeon Alexander Vasilyevich Fedchenko. After this, the family changed their place of residence several more times. The future rock star managed to visit Kolyma, Magadan and others interesting places. It was in the latter city that the girl received her secondary education, then she became a student at the Pedagogical Institute.
Until 1993, Kulachenko successfully studied foreign languages, but then she decided to move next. This time the choice fell on St. Petersburg, at whose state university Diana studied philology for four years. In 1998, Arbenina graduated from the university.
The beginning of a musical career
In 1991, Diana’s first song, called “Frontier,” was released. At the same time, the girl constantly composes poems, reciting them during amateur performances. Also on this early period creativity, such compositions as “Tosca”, “Evening in Crimea” and “I Painted the Sky” were released.
In 1993, Arbenina became the leader of the Night Snipers group. At an early stage of her career, she performed songs with the second soloist, Svetlana Surganova. The girls met at the All-Russian Art Song Festival. Initially they performed together at venues in Magadan, but then moved to St. Petersburg.
The group's audience was most often in clubs and restaurants. Since 1997, the “snipers” have included drummer Alik Potapkin and bassist Goga Kopylov. Together they perform at a rock festival. After some time, the musicians recorded their first album, called “A Drop of Tar in a Barrel of Honey.”
Gradually, the music of “snipers” is gaining popularity. Their songs are ordered on air on major radio stations, and the group is increasingly invited to perform. At that time, one could hear Arbenina’s songs on the waves of “Europe Plus”, “Nostalgie”, “Russian Chanson”, “Radio Baltika” and other stations.
After the release of the first album, the band members decide to take music more seriously and experiment with genres. They present updated versions of some old compositions to the public, and also record new songs. In August 1999, the album “Baby Talk” was released. In 2001, the next disc entitled “Frontier” was released. It included one of the most popular songs, which instantly burst to the top of the charts. It was called "31 Spring".
In 2002, after the release of the second electric album “Tsunami”, Diana remained the only vocalist, Svetlana left the group for a solo career. The singers separated without conflicts; both claim that this decision was long overdue. The discrepancy in views on music led to a split in the group, but Night Snipers continued to exist successfully with one soloist. In October 2004, the album “SMS” was released with a completely new sound.
Achievements in various fields
The year 2005 marked the beginning of a new creative period for Arbenina. She collaborates with the Japanese talented composer Kazufumi Miyazawa. The project was called "Simauta", this word is translated from Japanese language as "songs of the islands". Their songs were dedicated to a specific island that was damaged by the American military in 1946. Every second resident was killed, so the tragedy still lives in the hearts of the country's citizens. At this time they played several concerts in Moscow and Japan. The most famous composition of that time is called “Cat”.
Diana also collaborated with the popular rock group Bi-2. With her participants, she performed songs such as “Slow Star”, “Because of Me” and others. One of the compositions became the soundtrack for the film “I Stay.” Subsequently, the singer wrote several more songs that were heard in more than 15 films.
IN mature age the singer took part in some music shows. In 2007, she took second place in the “Two Stars” project, where Evgeny Dyatlov became Arbenina’s partner. In the same year, Diana’s audiobook was released, called “The Dream Deserter.” Shortly after this, Arbenina writes another work called “Lullaby in a Sniper,” and then the publication of the magazine “Gavroche” begins. In 2012, the first collection of poems by a woman was published, it was called “Auto-da-fe”.
Four years after this, Diana was invited to the popular Ukrainian show“Voice of the Country”, it was her students who won the project twice. At the same time, Night Snipers continued to record albums, and the group's lineup changed several times over the years. Now the group, in addition to Arbenina, includes drummer Dmitry Gorelov, bassist Dmitry Maksimov and keyboardist Denis Zhdanov.
Personal life and family
Like many celebrities, the woman preferred to hide her personal life. Many conclusions were drawn by the press from her songs, which often described romantic relationships between girls. It is known that Diana was once married to Konstantin Arbenin, and she got her last name from him. But many journalists are inclined to think that the marriage is fictitious, since thanks to it the singer received a St. Petersburg residence permit.
Many years ago, the singer spoke frankly with the press, declaring her desire to become a mother. The busy schedule did not provide such an opportunity, so for a long time children remained just a dream. But in 2010, Arbenina decided to temporarily reduce the workload in order to achieve her next goal. In an American clinic, she gave birth to twins, they were named Artyom and Marta. Journalists were unable to find out full information There are rumors about the father of the children that the pregnancy occurred with the help of IVF. A little later, the singer admitted that she became pregnant from American businessman. They are not together now, but they communicate often.
Today, Arbenina is divorced from her husband and lives with twins. The woman has written more than 60 different poems and takes part in public events. Now her children come first, so her music career has taken a backseat. Fans hope that this solution is only temporary, because the presence of kids should not interfere with creativity at all.
Diana is known to everyone as very strong personality. She knows the value of her time, so she prefers not to waste it on plastic surgery and diets. Gyms are also not held in high esteem by the singer; she experiences much more pleasure from outdoor games with her children. You can love or hate Arbenina, but no one remains indifferent to her.
Diana Arbenina was born in Volozhin (Belarus). Her mother and father worked as journalists. When the girl was 6 years old, the family moved to Chukotka. After 2 years, the parents divorced. The mother married for the second time, her husband was A. Fedchenko, a surgeon. Later they lived in Magadan and Kolyma.
Diana graduated from high school in Magadan, then entered the Faculty of Foreign Languages at the Pedagogical Institute. In 1993 Arbenina moved to St. Petersburg and studied at the state university (department of philology).
Music career
During her student years, Diana Arbenina was an aspiring singer. In 1993 she performed at the art song festival, where she met Svetlana Surganova. Arbenina returned to Magadan, and Surganova also moved there. Together they sang in clubs and bars. This is how the “Night Snipers” group appeared.
In 1994 the girls moved to St. Petersburg, participated in rock concerts and events. In 1998 The first album “A Drop of Tar” was released. Then there were many concerts, the group became popular, toured throughout the country and abroad.

Personal life
There were many rumors about D. Arbenina’s unconventional sexual orientation; the singer herself did not comment on them. In many ways, they appeared because of songs that talked about relationships with a girl.
Diana was married, but the marriage with the singer K. Arbenin was fictitious, it was concluded for registration in St. Petersburg. In 2008 Arbenina gave birth to twins - Artyom and Marta. Since Diana was in the United States while pregnant, it was assumed that she underwent in vitro fertilization. Arbenina herself denied these rumors. According to the singer, their father is an American entrepreneur Russian origin, whom she met in the States.
— Diana, this year you became the mother of first-graders. How do you like your new role?
“I still don’t believe it myself.” I don’t feel like 6 years have passed, as if it were yesterday. This was a turning point in my life because having twins is very different from having one child.
— Was it difficult to give birth at 35 years old?
- Cool. I wasn't ready before. I'm 42 now and feeling great. If we had not separated from the father of my children, it is possible that I would have given birth again.
— The media wrote that Diana Arbenina’s lover came for the sake of his beloved to Russia, where he had not been for many years. Because for a long time he lived in America, now everything seems wild and unreal to him. He is used to?
“I can’t add anything to this, except that I’m not interested in this at all right now.” The situation has changed radically. On this moment I am absolutely alone and I am also raising my children alone. I can’t say that I feel great about this. The “free” status is just about me.
— Are you now looking for your other half?
— Not exactly in search, but... You see, when you are 19 years old, it is easier to live under one roof, and when you are 42, you begin to react more sharply to the habits of those around you. I can answer you this way: I am, of course, in love, but I live alone.
— How did you meet the father of your children?
- At the party. We drank and got to know each other.
— Do children lack male attention without a dad?
“They have plenty of male attention.” There are a lot of men around, because I have a lot of male friends and acquaintances.
— How do you react if a man offers you a close relationship? Do you agree to dates because you have children?
- Every woman needs male attention. Yes, I have children and I’m busy, but one doesn’t interfere with the other.
— Have you ever experienced the betrayal of a loved one?
- I have never had betrayal. But who knows, maybe it’s still waiting for me. In this sense, someone may be luckier than me, because with age, betrayal is harder to survive. It’s one thing when a boy leaves you at 13, and another thing when you’re 45.
— Diana, do you dream of getting married and wearing White dress?
- I really want to get married. Without being embarrassed or timid, I want to say “yes.” I was married to Konstantin Arbenin, but that was a very long time ago. We had a rock 'n' roll wedding. I now really regret that she was like that. Both of us, like “morons,” were wearing jeans and glasses, and Paul McCartney’s song “Yesterday” was playing. Now I would do everything wrong.
— How did it happen that you have closer relationships with women than with men?
— I love both women and men, because they are equally interesting to me as people.
- Why don’t you have a manicure?
— How should I play the guitar? I have calluses from my guitar. The only thing I can afford is a French manicure and black nails at concerts.
— Now your tour is ending. Where did you like it the most? Where did you feel that you were well received?
— We played this year in Russia, America and Europe. I brought solo acoustics to Europe, because sometimes I go on stage alone. As far as I know, no one allows themselves to do this. Going on stage alone is both scary and exciting. We brought the program “Only Lovers Left Alive” to America, and we also “showed” this program in Russia.
— Where will the last concert of the tour be?
— We will give big concerts in St. Petersburg and Moscow this year. Thus, we will draw a line under the album “Only Lovers Left Alive” and leave the stage for a year.
— Diana Arbenina taking a vacation?
— A sabbatical is for the impotent, it seems to me. We will be working on a new album. Come to the concerts in St. Petersburg and Moscow: on November 26 we play at the Ice Palace in Moscow and on November 29 in St. Petersburg.
— Your mother was very worried that you left Magadan pedagogical institute. That's why she didn't even shake her hand to you one day?
- Mom was afraid. We lived in Magadan, and I went to St. Petersburg. She cried and was very worried. For example, I would also be worried if Marta got into a wagon and “dumped off” somewhere with the gypsies. But maybe this is her path. I have already proven to my mother that I have the right to do as I see fit. I made myself, and it's obvious. But, you know, until you give birth to your children, you think that you are right everywhere and in everything. And then it turns out that in some places I was harsh, in others I was unforgiving. In fact, we need to talk to each other more and be kinder to each other. Explain what you feel, rather than get into a pose.
How is your relationship with your mother now?
“She now works in our group and takes what I do very seriously, because she believed in what I do.
- Yes, I love it very much chewing gum. And in response to the comment about good manners, I’ll say that I don’t care. In response to this, I made a video in which I blew a bubble, burst it and said: “Well, have you washed your face?” My approach is this: if you don’t like it, don’t watch it, don’t go to concerts, don’t read poetry. I'm not just talking about myself now. You don’t like some artist, so why criticize him?
— The video of you doing push-ups also caused a strong reaction from your fans. Comments were: “Where is the femininity?” “It’s a show-off!”
- What does femininity or unfemininity have to do with it? This Physical Culture. Half of our country is walking around with shortness of breath and overweight. You need to look after yourself at least a little.
— One taught me very good phrase some American author: “If your children annoy you, hand them over to one of the family members, and you yourself rest, unwind and return to them in a normal state.”
— How do you write poetry: do you close yourself so that no one bothers you?
- No, I can do this in any situation. The main thing is to have a pen and a piece of paper. I have a world inside that interests me more than what happens outside.
— Why do the media allow such rude statements addressed to you?
“My mother taught me not to react to this.” She told me: "You public figure with all that it implies. I know you're vulnerable, but stop being like that. Therefore, let them write and say whatever they want.” The most important thing is that in our home everything is perfectly truthful and perfectly honest.

Raising Twins
The singer always hid her personal life from annoying journalists, who were never able to capture her with any man on a date. Because of such secrecy, all sorts of rumors were born, including about her unconventional orientation. Later it became known that Diana was marrying Konstantin Arbenin. This marriage was actually fictitious. The singer did not become her real husband, but simply gave her a St. Petersburg residence permit, as well as a beautiful surname, which she has not given up to this day.
Ex-husband Diana: Konstantin Arbenin In the fall of 2009, the performer left the stage in preparation for important mission in your life - to have children. She and this happy event hid from the press and fans until the last, being in America before giving birth. In 2010, Arbenina became a mother: she gave birth to twins - son Artyom and daughter Marta. The lead singer of “Night Snipers” did not reveal for a long time who the father of the children was; it is not surprising that there were rumors in the press that the babies were conceived by artificial insemination. Later, she dispelled these speculations, admitting that she had an affair with a Russian businessman living in the United States. It was there that the future lovers met. But Diana never married the father of her twins, breaking up with him before they were born.
Children of Diana Arbenina Having become a mother, she changed her attitude towards her personal life, and now the desire to have fun and party has gone away forever by itself. Since the singer was a working mother, she had to learn to combine work and raising children. With the birth of a daughter and son, everything free time she gives it to them. But being a musician with a specific rhythm of life, she often has to go on tour, leaving her children. Separation is not easy, and all this time Arbenina is constantly worried about them and misses them. However, as soon as summer comes, the whole family goes on vacation. Despite the fact that the singer sometimes has to sleep only 2-3 hours a day, she easily endures it, as she tries to get a lot done in a day. The artist is not trying to change her life and become, for example, office employee with a fixed day. She will no longer be able to do anything else or sit at home, and besides, a fulfilled, albeit busy, mother can give her children much more than a housewife.

Artem and Marta are studying music and are already demonstrating their creative talents. The singer is especially pleased with her son, who managed to perform at “Invasion.” Diana strives to instill in them a love of reading, and she chose books for them that her parents read to her as a child. And modern cartoons bypass them, since the singer introduces children only to classic characters.
The kids still haven’t seen their father like that, but they constantly ask their mother about him, often asking the question: “Why don’t we live with dad?” Arbenina herself is sure that the time has not yet come to meet her own father. Dream of getting married and wearing white Wedding Dress has not left her to this day. The artist is thinking about having a man in their family who will replace their children’s father. However, the message about the singer’s future husband did not make her son and daughter happy at all. Moreover, they never admitted why they didn’t want to see anyone next to their mother. According to Diana, she always tried to help those children who were abandoned by their parents. The idea of adopting such a child came to her a long time ago, and now she plans to add a baby from the orphanage to her family.
