Didn't even say hello. “He doesn’t even say hello to the kids.” Valeria spoke about her difficult relationship with her tyrant husband Alexander Shulgin. About what has changed

The lead singer of the Russian rock band "Alisa" Konstantin Kinchev spoke about his attitude towards Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview with the famous journalist and video blogger Yuri Dudu.

“I won’t even say hello until he says hello himself. When the country didn’t know who Putin was... almost the whole country knew about Kinchev,” he said about his attitude towards the leader of the Russian Federation.

Kinchev said that he is not ready to go to protests, as he did in the 90s. According to him, he is “satisfied with everything.” However, the musician is very outraged by the United Russia party, and he is tired of Putin.

“United Russia outrages me. I don’t like United Russia. Yes, I’m tired of Putin, to be honest. Another thing is that it’s clear to me that without him the country’s “turmoil” will begin. Therefore, let him sit, although I’m tired of him. Well, as long as I can see him, I can’t see him! As long as he wants, let him sit as long as the Tsar-Father. It would be better if he had already accepted the crowning as king, and everyone would calm down. I’m generally for the monarchy, because on such Only a monarch can rule a huge territory,” the artist believes.

49-year-old singer Valeria became the heroine of the “Fate of a Man” program, talking about her three marriages and why she doesn’t want to remember the first two of them. Thus, the artist admitted that she left her first husband, musician Leonid Yaroshevsky, because of his immaturity.

Weak-willed, spineless... Dear Lenya, who, unfortunately, could not grow into a real man. It was a youthful marriage. I really only felt pity for him. It’s very difficult to be a nanny for an adult man, no matter what he writes in his own defense,” Valeria shared.

He, in turn, says that “Valeria ruined his life,” because it was together with her that they decided to move to Moscow. The singer considers these accusations stupid. Their relationship cooled, and for the last six months before the divorce they simply lived as neighbors - under the same roof. While still married to Yaroshevsky, Valeria met promising producer Alexander Shulgin. At first they worked together, and then became close. She immediately understood that Shulgin had a complex character. The man often lost his temper, swore at her, and accused her of something. But she hoped to change him. The singer remembers the day when they went to get married in church. Already approaching the church, Alexander again caused a scandal. He threw the prayer book the singer was holding in her hands out of the car window.

I understood that the demon was twisting him. I just prayed, this infuriated him even more. I told myself: “I need to get there, get there. We agreed with the priest." Can you imagine the state I was in after that? The mood did not improve. I thought: “Some kind of miracle must happen.” And he again and again... When we left the temple, the same thing began. Then I realized it wasn’t working,” Valeria recalled.

Nevertheless, the singer gave birth to three children from Shulgin. The producer treated them cruelly. Valeria says that she would not like to remember that time, but “there was all sorts of things” and “nothing good.” One day she realized that she could no longer be with a tyrant who abused her and her children.

Maybe work took me out, I had 32 concerts in one month. I was so tired. I called him, and he started nagging again. I suggested: “Sasha, let’s live somewhere else.” “He left and visited the children only in my absence,” added Valeria. For many years now, Shulgin not only has not helped his children in any way, but he does not even greet them when he meets them.

We meet him on the street,” Valeria laughs sadly. - Nothing! He doesn't even say hello to children.

Afterwards, another blow of fate awaited her. In 2009, Valeria's father died. He had problems with blood vessels.

He was sick... He had problems with blood vessels, he was admitted to the hospital to have stents installed. These are spacers that help blood pass through the vessels. One of them closed. Why did this happen? Unclear. The worst thing was to tell my mother,” the artist recalled.

To bring the woman to her senses, she and her current husband Joseph Prigogine took her on a trip.

It was necessary to distract my mother, which is what we tried to do. We suggested that she undergo surgery abroad and check her health, then we went to Milan and traveled a lot. For almost a whole month, my mother was with us, living some kind of unusual life, it was a kind of psychotherapy,” said Valeria.

or ABOUT THE WRITER WHO HAS NOTHING TO ASK

No. 2015 / 1, 01/16/2015, author: Vladimir SEMIBRATOV

I read the article with great interest in the December 26 issue of Literary Russia Vyacheslav Ogryzko « » , paying special attention to the chapter “ And this is all about him - about Prilepin, or Mr. Grigoriev has no other writers».

The fact is that it was on this day Prilepin came to our God-saved city of Vyatka to receive the literary prize named after him. A.I. Herzen. According to the regulations of the prize, it is received by those authors whose ideas are in tune with the thoughts contained in the creative heritage of the Russian classic. Personally, I would not classify Zakhar Prilepin as a successor to the “Herzen case,” because he, as Vyacheslav Ogryzko rightly notes, “wants to please everyone: both the people and the authorities.” Alexander Ivanovich, unlike the newfangled author, did not wander here and there depending on the circumstances.

By the will of fate, I had a chance to see Prilepin before he was awarded the prize at the Kirov Regional Universal Scientific Library named after. A.I. Herzen, where in a few hours his meeting with readers was to take place. The director herself gave her dear guest an individual sightseeing tour of one of the best libraries in Russia, talking about the milestones of its history. They also entered the room of current periodicals, where I happened to be at that moment. Sloppyly dressed, covered in stubble, Prilepin swaggered into the hall, not paying any attention either to the librarian on duty at the entrance, or, of course, to me, a sinner - his colleague in the craft of writing. In response to the director's story, he only uttered some kind of unintelligible moo. And this is the “ruler of thoughts”, awarded the “Big Book” Prize, and now also the Herzen Prize!?

When the couple left, the woman on duty, upset in her feelings, only said: “Wow: I didn’t even say hello!” But he didn’t even say goodbye!

When I was getting home from the library, I met a well-known writer in Kirov-on-Vyatka on the bus. I asked her if she would go to a meeting with a fellow writer? “No,” she replied, “I have nothing to ask him.”
