Modern domestic show business is a special world, in some way separated from the rest of civilization, in which slightly different people live, with their own worries, deeds and quirks. Russian performers are, in most cases, persons, albeit without a world name, but quite famous in the vastness of their land and within their native state, and maybe within the neighboring countries too. This article will tell you about the popular and in-demand Russian performers over the past decade.
First echelon
So, let's begin, Russian performers will be described below. The list is opened by old-timers of the national stage. Leonid Agutin, Nikolai Baskov, Oleg Gazmanov, Valery Leontyev, Alexander Rosenbaum, singer Slava, Lolita, the group "Para Normal", "Mumiy Troll" were quite popular at the beginning of the 2000s and were famous for their armies of loyal fans. the glory faded a little. Today these artists can only be seen at the most traditional concerts and musical evenings. The same cannot be said about Philip Kirkorov, Valeria Meladze, singers Natalie and Anita Tsoi, the Zveri and Splin groups. These artists are in demand and loved by the audience even today. Their concerts continue to attract millions of fans. And all this despite the fact that they also have the right to call themselves “old-timers of the stage”.
Young people
Russian performers are also representatives of a new generation. Their popularity today is at their peak, their discs are selling faster than others, their tours are scheduled five to seven years in advance. Young Russian pop singers are quite numerous. Their list includes several hundred names and pseudonyms, the most famous are Dima Bilan, Sergey Lazarev, rapper Timati, his protégés - Yegor Creed, Andrey Grizzly, Alexey Vorobyov, Dan Balan, Dominik Joker, Irakliy, Max Korzh, Denis Maidanov, Tamerlane, Vyacheslav Basul, Ani Lorak, Ivan Dorn, Nyusha, Pelageya, Yulia Savicheva, Anna Sedakova, Vera Brezhneva, Tati, Elena Temnikova, Polina Gagarina, Elvira T, Maxim, Loya, Svetlana Loboda, Stas Kostyushkin, Noise MC, Yuliana Karaulova, "Pizza "," Silver ", M-Band," 23:45 "," Banderos "," 30.02 ", Quest Pistols," Degrees "," Heroes "quartet," China "," VIA GRA "trio and many others.
Voice
Russian performers today also come from many popular television shows. The project with the highest ratings on national television is the Voice show. This platform has released wonderful singers such as Gela Guralia, Elina Chaga, Nargiz Zakirova and many others.
Russian show business replenishes and Victoria Petrik can be called a striking representative of this separate group of domestic stage. The girl is the winner of the world famous Children's New Wave festival. This is, of course, a worthy replacement for the old-timers of Russian show business. Now you know which Russian performers are most in demand at the present time.
This time I made Top 25 the most beautiful Russian singers, which features Russian pop singers, as well as one opera singer. When compiling this rating, I took into account external data, photogenicity, not paying attention to the awards and merits of girls in the professional field.

Of course, the ideal appearance of Sofia is not only natural data, but also work on herself. The star owes her impeccable figure to regular trips to the pool, exercise on simulators and proper nutrition. The singer loves going to the sauna and massage rooms. This allows her not only to be in great physical shape and move well, but also to withstand a two-hour concert. Rotaru admits that he practically does not salt dishes, does not eat fatty foods and eats a lot of plant foods. As for plastic surgery, the singer assures that she has never resorted to it and uses exclusively proven methods and folk recipes.
ALLA PUGACHEVA
"The woman who sings" and the real Prima Donna of Russian show business first appeared on the stage at the age of five, and today she has an enviable career behind her. In 2010, the singer announced the termination of her touring activities and still keeps her word. She only appears at social events and TV shows, gives interviews and dubs films.
Alla Pugacheva, like any woman, has her own secrets of beauty and youth. The secret of her thick and luxurious hair is ... the wig. Yes, yes, the singer wears a wig, her hair is not so beautiful for a long time (this information is confirmed by the fact that at one of her concerts Pugacheva simply tore off her wig right on stage). Alla supports her figure with a salt-free diet and a complete rejection of bread.
IRINA ALLEGROVA
Irina was born into the family of a theater director and actress. The first years of life, the family lived in Rostov-on-Don, after which they moved to Baku. At the initial stage of her career, Allegrova voiced Indian films, and then began performing on stage.
The singer found a way out in proper nutrition - vegetables, fruits, seafood and honey predominate in her diet.
Irina has tried many diets in her life, even took Thai diet pills. But none of this helped her lose those extra pounds. The singer found a way out in proper nutrition - vegetables, fruits, seafood and honey predominate in her diet. Irina relieves stress with culinary therapy. The singer regularly swims in the pool, visits a massage therapist, sauna and does aerotherapy. All this helps the star to keep the body and figure in good shape.
VALERIA
Alla Perfilova, better known as Valeria (now this name appears in her passport), was born in the city of Atkarsk. Valeria studied pop art with Joseph Kobzon and Gelena Velikanova.
As the singer herself says, she owes her amazing appearance to yoga, morning jogging, a healthy lifestyle, proper nutrition, cheerfulness and natural ingredients in cosmetic products. So, for example, Valeria not only often visits beauty salons, but also uses village sour cream as a face mask. To care for the area around the eyes, the singer applies cotton pads with cool rose water. She also prefers natural scrubs. Here is one of the recipes: 1 tsp. honey, a pinch of sugar, olive or flaxseed oil. This scrub is great for treating your hands.
NATASHA KOROLEVA
The Honored Artist of Russia first appeared on stage at the age of three as part of the large children's choir of radio and television of Ukraine. Having already matured, she recorded the song "Yellow Tulips" and literally immediately became a star.
The Queen is an ardent opponent of plastic surgery, although she resorts to Botox injections.
The Queen is an ardent opponent of plastic surgery, although she resorts to Botox injections. Natasha has her own beauty salon, so her appearance is the work of top-class professionals working in her salon. As for the attractive figure - it's all about tennis. The singer works out with a personal trainer three times a week. Natasha admitted that she cannot go on diets, but she eats in small portions and controls the use of starchy foods and sweets. Natalia also resorted to the hirudotherapy procedure (healing with leeches).
NYUSHA
A still very young singer Nyusha (Anna Shurochkina) has never professionally studied vocals, never graduated from music schools. She began performing at the age of 11, and at 17 she came up with a pseudonym, which is still with her today. Now the girl's songs occupy leading positions in the Russian charts, and she herself has repeatedly become a laureate of prestigious music awards.
Nyusha monitors her appearance and health whenever possible. She does not smoke, drinks alcohol in moderation and only on holidays. The singer considers healthy sleep and good rest to be the key to attractiveness and health, so she tries to never get out of schedule. The girl drinks a lot of pure water, and uses natural masks and moisturizers for her skin. The singer's good figure is the result of training with a personal trainer and a set of daily exercises. Nyusha does not sit on diets and can afford various goodies (the main secret is not to eat in the evening).
ANNA PLETNEVA
The former soloist of the Lyceum group, and now the soloist of the Russian pop group Vintage, is a native Muscovite. At school, Anna studied choreography and music, and also danced in the children's ballet "Ostankino". She got to the Lyceum after Lena Perova's dismissal and was a permanent member of the group for eight years, and then she created the Vintage team together with Alexei Romanov, a former member of the A-mega group.
After the birth of the child, the singer diligently practiced dancing and vocals to get her body in shape.
After the birth of the child, the singer diligently practiced dancing and vocals to get her body in shape. But Anna's diet does not in any way correspond to the norms of dietetics: by her admission, she eats when she has to and what she has to. True, there is still one secret: after eating, the girl just stands by the wall for 20 minutes. This trick was taught to Anna by her dad, believing that this way food is better absorbed. The singer neglects plastic surgeries, but does not condemn those who resorted to them. The star loves naturalness more and uses only high-quality cosmetics.
YULIA NACHALOVA
The ex-wife of the Russian footballer Yevgeny Aldonin from childhood showed the ability to sing, which her father noticed (by the way, a musician and composer). Her father began to study vocals with Julia at the age of 2, and at the age of five, the girl began to sing on the professional stage. After winning the Morning Star television competition, the singer was noticed by prestigious music and social programs, inviting her to central channels.
Julia adheres to the correct daily routine, goes in for sports. She is not a supporter of fasting days, diets and hunger strikes, since after such experiments she feels bad. On her birthday and New Year's, the singer does not limit herself to food at all and can eat whatever she wants. In an interview, Julia admitted that she does not trust folk recipes, but she simply adores high-quality cosmetics and various mixtures for home use. She always tries to use thermal water, she is not afraid to undergo medical and rejuvenating acupuncture procedures. Nachalova does not like to sunbathe either in the sun or in a solarium, as her skin is prone to burns.
ALEXANDER SAVELIEVA
As a child, the 30-year-old soloist of the Fabrika group went in for figure skating and attended a music school to study flute and piano. The teachers predicted a sporting future for Sasha, but the girl preferred music. Success came to her after participating in the first edition of the Star Factory show and the founding of the Fabrika group.
The teachers predicted a sporting future for Sasha, but the girl preferred music.
Sasha has repeatedly been included in the list of the most beautiful girls in Russia. At the same time, she does not try to meet any standards of beauty, she feels confident in her weight and enjoys every gained kilogram. The girl does not go on diets, as she believes that food should be balanced, but she often eats in small portions. Loves dark chocolate with salt. For the beauty and youth of the skin, Sasha takes fish oil in capsules, and also makes natural face masks and does not forget to apply creams with a sunscreen factor. In the morning, the singer washes her face with ice water, and in the evenings she thoroughly rinses off her makeup. Sasha does not forget about sports: she loves to swim, is engaged in simulators and myostimulation.
VERA BREZHNEVA
As a teenager, Vera Brezhneva was fond of sports, and many types at once. She studied foreign languages and dreamed of becoming a lawyer. But it didn’t work out, so I got the specialty of an economist. The singer was a member of VIA Gra for 5 years, after which she began a solo career.
As Brezhnev herself admits, she has no special beauty secrets. Mandatory procedures for her are morning and evening face cleansing and the use of a moisturizer. Every week she always visits a beautician to make an anti-stress mask or deep cleanse her face. Vera does not use anti-cellulite products, but she likes coffee and salt peels, as well as a contrast shower. The singer trusts her hair only to professionals. The main secrets of beauty, as she herself admits, could be called sports and diet - moreover, with the help of the latter, the singer not only loses weight, but also gets better when she considers it necessary.
