The clear timbre of the voice and the sincere manner of performance fascinated lovers of a good lyric song. Fans of Olga Zarubina's creativity like that warmth and kindness of the spiritual performance of songs. The main theme of creativity is women's fate, sometimes difficult, broken by life and love, but a warming hope of happiness and joy. A talented singer, a beautiful and smiling woman - she continues to be a role model.
Olga Vladimirovna Zarubina, perhaps one of the brightest artists of the eighties, was born on August 29, 1958 in the village of Moskvorechye (located on the territory of the present district of Moscow Moskvorechye-Saburovo).
Family, education
Information about her father is very different, on the one hand, Olga's mother characterizes him as an alcoholic and a bully, Olga herself denies these such accusations and speaks of her father as a respectable and wealthy person at that time. When Olga was 2 years old, her father died tragically - suffocated in the car, according to Olga Vladimirovna, he did it deliberately because of problems in family life (the release of the TV show Let They Speak - Olga Zarubina's retirement age - 03.10.2013).
Olga's mother, Lyudmila Bronislavovna, at that time worked at a chemical plant and soon after her husband's death she remarries, so a stepfather appears in Olga's family, whose last name Zarubina still bears.
Older brother Alexander at the age of eighteen fell ill with a severe form of angina, as a result of which he received a heart complication in the form of a three-valve heart defect, which was the reason for his death at the age of 35.
In 1975, due to a difficult relationship with her stepfather, Olga, despite successfully graduating from a music school, refuses to continue her musical career and, at the insistence of her mother, who dreamed of her daughter becoming a doctor, enters a medical school. Later, she recalls this decision as follows: “I entered the medical school on the advice of my mother. I think she and her stepfather wanted me to become independent faster and leave home."
Work, career
While studying at the medical school, Olga met Sergei Korzhukov, who later became the soloist of the Lesopoval group. Together, as part of the student ensemble created by them, they participate in musical evenings and amateur art shows. After winning one of the competitions for creative teams of medical educational institutions, Olga and Sergei were invited by Alexander Zaborsky to the vocal and instrumental ensemble "Postal Stagecoach".
And yet it is generally accepted that Olga Vladimirovna's creative biography began when, at one of the competitions of young performers, her paths crossed with David Tukhmanov, who was a member of the jury of this competition. Olga Zarubina interested the composer with her vocals, and soon after this fateful meeting at the New Year's "Blue Light" in 1979, Olga, in a duet with Mikhail Boyarsky, sang David Tukhmanov's song to the poems of Leonid Derbenev "It shouldn't be like this", and in the morning she woke up famous.
On the recommendation of David Tukhmanov, Zarubina was invited to VIA Muzyka. As part of this group, she sang songs: Georgy Movsesyan "Spring insomnia", Alexei Mazhukov "I'll come to you", both songs to the verses of Lev Oshanin, Lyudmila Lyadova to the verses of Nikolai Berendgof "Bright memory".
After a brilliant debut in the main female role of Assol in the rock opera "Scarlet Sails" by Andrey Bogoslovsky, Olga leaves the ensemble and begins a solo career. Tours a lot in the cities of the Soviet Union. She is invited to radio and television.
Back in 1979, a feature film of the creative association "Ekran" "Summer Tour" was released, to which Olga Vladimirovna records the songs: "My Joy" and "Take Me With You" by composer Alexei Mazhukov on the verses of Mikhail Tanich.
In 1982 the song "At the last metro station" performed by Olga Vladimirovna sounds on the central television of the USSR in the program "Morning Mail".
In 1983, Olga Zarubina is no longer only a performer, but also the host of the musical and entertainment television program of the Central Television Broadcasting Center, where she successfully performed the song "You are dancing beautifully", as well as a song in a quartet with Alexander Serov, Tatyana Kovaleva and Yuri Okhochinsky "Native eyes".
In 1985 the All-Union Recording Company "Melodia" released Olga Vladimirovna's solo EP with songs: "Conspiracy Words", "Song of the Doll", "Two" and "Sadness".
Olga Zarubina sings Vyacheslav Dobrynin's song to the poems by Mikhail Ryabinin “You have arrived” on one of the 1986 episodes of the TV show “Wider Circle”.
But, perhaps, the peak of popularity was the performances of Olga Zarubina in the final concerts of "Song of the Year" - in 1987 with the song "Music plays on the ship" and in 1989 with the song "Riddle".
In 1990 Olga Vladimirovna was awarded the title "Honored Artist of the RSFSR".
1991 was a turning point in the singer's life, when a fragment of Olga's performance on tour in Cheboksary, where she allegedly sang to a phonogram, was shown in the popular at that time television program "Projector Perestroika", which caused a wave of indignation in the musical community. According to Olga, this video clip was skillfully edited to discredit her. It was this case that negatively affected her solo career, and provoked Olga to move from Russia to the United States.
Personal life, child
In 1983 Olga Zarubina married Alexander Malinin, whom she met while working together in the Metronome group. In 1985, the couple gave birth to a child - daughter Kira, who at the age of four months undergoes a complex heart operation. For unclear reasons, Alexander Malinin interrupts all communication with his family and breaks up with Olga. In 1988, together with Kira, Olga participates in the TV program "Wider Circle" where she sang Vyacheslav Dobrynin's song to the verses of Natalia Plyatskovskaya "Cubes", and in 1991 both starred in the feature film "Mad Lori".
In 1987, fate brings Olga together with her future husband Vladimir Evdokimov, a well-known music administrator at that time, namely, in alliance with whom Olga Vladimirovna reaches the peak of her singing career. In 1990, with the fundamental support and direct participation of Vladimir, the forty-minute musical film "A Girl from the Planet Tuami" was shot, where Olga Zarubina was the only performer of heartfelt lyrical songs. Personal life is gradually improving - the love and care of Vladimir help Olga to overcome all life's troubles. As a happy wife, Olga, in her words, has lived with Vladimir for sixteen years - from 1992 to 2008, until his death.
Since 2010, Olga Vladimirovna has been married to an ex-member of the Laskovy May group, Andrey Vladimirovich Salov, who is also its director.
Fifteen years after leaving the United States, Olga Vladimirovna returned to Russia - in 2007 she was invited to the television music show "You are a superstar" on NTV. From this momentous event, Olga Zarubina's concert activity was resumed, who, after a long break, continued to delight her devoted fans with her work.
