The Dune group, whose soloist is Viktor Rybin, is loved by many. The image of a reckless guy from a neighboring yard, a joker and a drunkard fell in love with Russian listeners, so the group has existed for more than 30 years.
Biography
Viktor Viktorovich Rybin, the leader of the Dune group, was born in 1962 into an ordinary Soviet family from the city of Dolgoprudny. Father Viktor Grigorievich worked as a worker, and mother Galina Mikhailovna worked as a teacher in a kindergarten. When Victor was 7 years old, dad died, he committed suicide, while sad events took place in front of his son. For Victor, this was a terrible shock, and he stopped speaking. Only 6 months after the tragedy, the boy began to recover. Galina Mikhailovna had to raise her son alone and it is not surprising that he got out of hand, began to study poorly and spend all the time in the gateways. Soon Victor became interested in music, learned to play the guitar and began performing with the school ensemble. This is what saved the guy from bad company and bad habits.
After leaving school, Victor entered the naval school in the city of Severodvinsk and received a diploma in the specialty "Engineer for the operation of ship installations." After graduating from college, he joined the army. The future popular singer served on a submarine. Later he entered the Moscow State Institute of Culture at the Faculty of Sociology.
Career and achievements
In 1987, Rybin's school friend Sergei Katin invited him to the Dune group. It's hard to believe, but at the dawn of his musical career, it was a rock band that played hard rock. In addition to Katina and Rybin, drummer Andrei Shatunovsky and guitarist Dmitry Chetvergov also played in the ensemble. A year later, these musicians left Dune. And Rybin radically changed the stage concept of the collective. This is how the hooligan duo was formed, which became very popular in 1989 thanks to the hit "Lemon Country", which sounded on all radio stations for a long time.
The memorable and funny image of a fool and a joker in a panama hat, singing simple songs, chosen by Viktor Rybin, was to the liking of the audience. After the hit "Country of Limonia", the hits "Communal Apartment", "Sea of Beer", "Greetings from the Big Bodun" followed, which brought the group immense popularity.
In 1992, Sergei Katin left the group, he got married and went to work in France. So Victor remained the soloist in the team. In 2017, the Dune group celebrated its 30th anniversary. The collective continues to perform and record new compositions, although Rybin's popularity is no longer as great as in the 90s.
Viktor Rybin tried his hand at the profession of a film actor. He took part in the filming of the program "old songs about the main thing", playing the role of a livestock breeder. Then came the roles of a taxi driver and a hockey player in the next episodes of the program. Rybin also played himself in one of the "Real Boys" series.
Personal life
The first wife of Rybin was a certain Catherine. The girl at the time of marriage was barely 18 years old. Soon after the wedding, Victor went to serve, and the young wife did not wait for him. So the family broke up very quickly. The second wife was Elena, whose marriage was registered in 1985. Victor and Elena have a daughter - Maria.
While still married to Elena, Victor at one of the festivals met Natalia Senchukova, who at that time was working as a dancer. A mutual feeling flared up among the young people, but Rybin was not free and did not want to get divorced because of his daughter, who was still small. The couple was able to legalize their relationship only in 1998, shortly before the birth of their son Vasily.
