... In the crowded hall of the Palace of Sports, the light went out, the tense silence reigned, and then he was acute, with which the audience was waiting for her ... Sophia sounded, Sophia Rotaru appeared in a mosaic ...

Family and childhood

So, let's start with the beginning of the beginning - why at home. On August 7, 1947, Sofia Rotaru in the Song region was born in the village of Marinsha Chernivtsi region. Without songs there is no triumph, no rite. It seems the Earth itself gives birth to songs. Such pure, beautiful voices, like Mikhail Fedorovich (he was born 11/22/1918) and Alexandra Ivanovna Rotaru (04/17/1920-16.09.1997), there was no more in the Marshinians.

Mikhail Fedorovich The first in the village joined the party, passed the whole war, being a machine gunner, and reached Berlin. It was wounded and returned home only in 1946. Now the soldier's memory is increasingly and more often returns the Father in those terrible years, fights are remembered, the faces of the dead friends.

In the family, except Sofia, there were five children: two brothers and three sisters. Zina's older sister (born 11.10.1942), who had suffered a severe illness, lost sight in childhood.

Zina, having an absolute hearing itself and easily remembering new songs, taught Sophia to many folk songs and in general became the younger and second mom, and a favorite teacher. Then Sofia, without fear seem enthusiastic, say: "... And we all studied with her - such a musical memory. And the soul!"Zina, spending a lot of time from the radio, together with the songs learned Russian. And he taught him brothers and sisters. At home, Rotari was spoken only on Moldovan. Naturally, as the oldest, Sofia was the first assistant Mom. In the morning Sonya with mom went to the market Trade - for something I had to live.

Sofia Mikhailovna is never traded in the market. And prohibits it to do to your friends and relatives. " This is hellish work, "she says to her husband, - do not dare".

Often, very often I had to replace my mother, working for her in the field. It was during these years that its character was formed.

- With its formation as singer and, probably, personality, - tells Sofia Rotaru, - i most likely obliged exactly those women with whom worked in the village, it was from them that I learned to understand the meaning of life. In difficult moments from them, simple and generous - I received help.

In this environment, Sofia Rotaru finds for its future songs the most human, the deepest and sincere notes. Sofia began to sing from the first class in the school choir, also sang in church choir.

In his youth, Sofia attracted the theater, she was engaged in the drama and simultaneously singing folk songs in amateur-in-law. Sofia, for example, loves to remember how the only button accordion took at school and at night, when a kerosene lamp was in the house, went to the barn, chose the loved melodies of Moldovan songs. Father, Mikhail Fedorovich, about thirty years old worked by Brigadier of winegriets, remembers how professional artists came to the village for the first time, and he led to their sonyy's scenes and proudly reported: " Here is my daughter. It will definitely be an artist!"

Being very lively and moving Sofia loved the sport, and especially athletics, and of course she did progress: there was a school champion in all-around, went to the regional Olympiads. Once, on the regional sports department in Chernivtsi, she became the winner in running at 100 and 800 meters ...

The victory of Sofia Rotaru in the district competition of artistic amateur in 1962 opened the road to the regional review. For her charging voice, countrymen then gave her rank of "Bukovinsky Nightingale". The voice was really amazing - struck his strength and latitude, extraordinary sound saturation. It was so much charm and passion, so he was discovered and excited that the young singers did not have to doubt the happy fate.

1963 brought a diploma of the first degree at the regional view of artistic amateur in Chernivtsi. As a winner, she goes to Kiev to participate in the republican competition.

1964, in turn, pleased the victory at the Republican Folk Talent Festival. On this occasion, her photo was placed on the cover of the magazine "Ukraine" No. 27 for 1965. By the way, this photo then played in her life not the last role. After that contest, the People's Artist of the USSR Dmitry Gnatyuk said fellow countrymen: " This is your future celebrity. Remember my words". Looking, contests, - Are the 17-year-old girl did not turn his head from success? But no, parents always taught her to critically evaluate their business and persistently go to the goal, despite the difficulties. After graduating from school in 1964. Sonya firmly decided to go In Chernivtsi enter the music school.

The beginning of an adult life

To great unfortunately, Sofia found out that there is no vocal faculty in the music school. Well, he entered the conductor-choral ... In 1964, Sofia was first sang on the stage of the Kremlin Palace of Congresses, - and Moscow was conquered. " And who will marry you? - Speaking, happened, Mom. - One music in my head"Meanwhile, in the Urals, a young guy from Chernivtsi - Anatoly Evdokimenko, the son of the builder and teacher, who also had" one music "was in the head: he graduated from music school as a child, played a pipe, dreamed of creating an ensemble . And the Magazine "Ukraine" with a photo of a beautiful girl on the cover was hit to the part of the Cover. He showed a photo to colleagues: " Look, what girls in our villages! Imagine that in the city is done?"And attached the cover on the wall near his bed. And then he returned home and began to search for Sofia. I was looking for a long time, finally found a school, Sonyna girlfriends ...

In fact, Sonya did not assume that it would ever sing with a pop orchestra. In addition to the violins and cymbal, she did not recognize other support tools until she met his future husband Anatoly Evdokimenko, a student of Chernivtsi University and at the same time trumpeter in the student pop orchestra. Anatoly intuitively understood that only music and once again the music can be conquered by the heart of Sofia. He was the initiator of the appearance of a soloist in the orchestra. True, at first, only folk Ukrainian and Moldovan melodies were selected for Sofia. By the way, today the folk songs occupy a significant place in its repertoire: " Without them, I can not live. How to hear - tears ..."But Anatoly persuaded Sophia to try himself as a soloist of the pop orchestra. And once Sofia still succumbed to persuasion, risked - performed the song" Mom "; armored person and the song turned out.

In 1968, at the graduation party at the Music School, the Associate Professor Pulinets assured: " Already now you can talk about it as a pop actress, which will have a great success in the widest audience".

Start of a song career

It is curious that in 1968 S. Rotaru met his birthday, winning the title of Laureate of the IX World Festival of Youth and Students in Sofia (Bulgaria). Thus held a debut on the stage then another amateur singer. Sofia Rotaru was sent to the IX World Festival of Youth and Students as a participant in the folklore competition. Tolik firmly removed to go with her at the festival. They urgently needed a double bassist for Bulgaria. And then Tolera mastered the double bass in two months. True, from his fingers, it was not for a long time for a long time. Cheerful success, first place. When Sofia was handed a gold medal, it was literally filled with Bulgarian roses. And one orchestrant joked: " Flowers Sofia for Sofia". And the newspapers Pretty headlines:" 21-year-old Sophia conquered Sofia. "So it was assessed by the execution of the Ukrainian folk song" On the Kameni "and Moldavian" I love spring ", as well as the" Stepham "A. Pashkevich and Valentina G. Georgic . The last song was dedicated to the Hero of the Soviet Union Valentina Tereshkova present in the hall of the first woman-cosmonaut. Chairman of the jury said then: " It is a singer with a great future".

Then the time has come for another debut: after graduating from a music school, she became a teacher. Until now, Rotaru recalls this day with excitement and joy, as if re-experiencing those feelings that experienced before the first lesson ...

September 22, 1968 in the Marshin Sofia and Anatoly played a wedding. Parents did not object. Mom just said: " You only, Sonya, think well, you get married - it means for life!". The wedding was" modest "- a man on two hundred. By the evening it was raining, but even he did not interrupt fun: happy bride in a long dress, wet to the thread, continued to dance before you fall ...

They spent the honeymoon in Novosibirsk - since at that time Anatoly ends the university and was directed there to practice. He worked at the Lenin factory, and the young family lived immediately, in the hostel of the 105th military plant. Sonya prepared for all food, and in the evenings sang in the club "Rest". Newlyweds left after 3 months.

However, in thoughts, Sofia had only one ...
Sofia Mikhailovna somehow shared: - In the year of our marriage, I began to dream of a child. And hinted from time to time about this Tolik. And he built great creative plans and did not hurry with the child. In addition, we lived together with parents in a 2-room apartment, he did not graduate from the University. There was not enough money, the parents ask them in our family is not accepted. We are adults. Well, okay, okay I think ... and somehow I tell him: "Listen, the doctor said that I would soon become a mother." Although in fact, in the position I was at that moment - I had to go to the little female trick. Tolik shook his head: "Well, well, good." He relaxed, lost his vigilance and began to wait for the heir to be born.

That's just waiting for him did not have to nine months, but eleven, because Sonya became pregnant only two months after the conversation.

- Now, I suppose everything did it right, - smiles slyly by Rotaru. - Then I just did not have time - these endless tour began ...

Rotaru fell into the hospital on the night from Sunday for Monday. On the eve of the day before she looked away: Tolik did not take her with him on fishing. His parents rebelled: " Where are you still going? Sonya, give birth from minutes for a minute, and you go karpov to catch?". Tolik returned in the evening with an unprecedented catch, and together with Sonya, they went to spend familiar musicians. The contractions began on the way home. Do you think Rotari immediately hurried to the hospital? No matter! She hurried home to stroke the dress, in Which went with her husband in the hospital. It was awesome in any situation was her lifestyle.

On the twenty fourth of August 1970, the son was born. He was given the name Ruslan. He turned out to be an absolute copy of the Father.

This in Chernivtsi has not yet seen! Tolik met his wife and son with the orchestra. All musicians of the city gathered under the windows of the hospital and played. Who on the pipe, who is on the violin, who is on the flute. People traveling past cars, trolleybuses and buses stayed, people were poured out of all nearby homes ... When Sonya appeared, there was a firework of champagne tubes in the air. All the way to home, happy father danced with her son in his arms ...

And in 1971, a musical film about the gentle and pure love of Girl Girl and Donetsk guy "Chervona Ruta" was removed on the Ukrtelefilm by the director Roman Alekseev. Songs V. Ivasyuk and other authors were performed by V. Zinkevich, N. Yaremchuk and others. Sofia Rotaru became the main heroine. The film had considerable success. And when in October Sofia received an invitation to work in Chernivtsi Philharmonic and create his ensemble, the name of the ensemble appeared by itself - "Chervon Ruta" ...

Also because one of the first songs of the ingenious composer and the poet Vladimir Ivasyuk was called. In the songs of Volodya, the beauty and romance of the Bukovinsky region, the freshness and chastity of the first love were surprising, the freshness and chastity of the first love, the endless faith in happiness. Sofia considers a meeting with composer Ivasyuk a happy gift of fate. None of the composers with which she will work later did not feel so deeply soul singers, her understanding and perception of life. Most of his songs were written specifically for her, for her extremely wonderful voice. They were modern, but at the same time were built on a multinational smallness of peoples living on Bukovina. It was a new, surprisingly bright word in the song culture of Ukraine. Indeed, the songs of Volodya gave the singer's wings, it was with them the pop star spurled.

Assessing the role of Sofia Rotaru in the popularization of songs Volodya, his father, the famous Ukrainian writer M. Ivasyuk will say in front of a crowded audience of countrymen literally the following: " We must bow low to the Moldavian girl Sona, separating the song of my son around the world.".

Really throughout the light, because in thousands of different concerts of Sofia in many and many countries they always sounded and songs of Volodya, many of which became the classics of song art.

Chervona Ruta - the name of the flower taken from the ancient Carpathian legend. The root blooms only on the night of Ivan Kupala, and the girl who will be able to see the flowering root will be happy in love.

Anatoly Evdokimenko became the head of the ensemble. Despite the fact that he worked for a while at the Department, he had scientific articles, he changed his profession. Madly loving his wife, he then graduated from the directorial faculty of the Kiev Institute of Culture, became the director of all its concert programs.

The debut of "Chervona Ruta" was a performance in a star town from Soviet cosmonauts. It was there that Sofia Rotaru and the "Chervona Ruta" ensemble also announced itself as an outstanding representatives of the whole direction of Soviet pop art, a characteristic feature of which is a combination of the repertoire and style of elements of folk music with modern rhythms. Only she finished singing "Chervonu Ruta", as the hall literally shuddered from the applause. So unexpectedly warm welcome, she was extremely excited. For some reason, she thought: if these are unusual people in her representation find joy in her songs, it means that she is obliged to sing, stubbornly go to the chosen way. And then more cosmonaut V. Shatalov on behalf of his colleagues wished her great success in the song creativity.

Sofia only strengthened in his desire. Then she sang on the stage of the Central Concert Hall "Russia", the Kremlin Palace and on the stage of the stage theater. Debuting on the metropolitan scene, Rotaru least reminded the timid novice. It was quite a mature master confident in his strength. The external restraint of the singer, which did not leave the place for the fussiness and unjustified gesticulation, was surprisingly harmonized with the flight of its super-expressive voice. She sang as if it were the most important concerts in her life. It seemed that she had long made peace of mind for a long time, so that today, now express all his passion, all joy and pain without a residue. The stunning creative "generosity" by Rotar is unusually excited by the audience, causing a hot wave of a response ...

And the deputy director of Chernivtsi Philharmonic Pintek Abramovich Falik and his wife, Honored Artist of the Ukrainian Sidi Lvovna Tal was then her second parents. Filik was at that time one of the largest administrators with world recognition. Even before the war, he was the producer of the famous English singer Jeri Scott.

The very first professional program of the "Chervona Ruta" is not approved. Then it was necessary to withstand a certain line. For example, "Love, Komsomol and Spring" i.e. All performance should have soaked joy, optimism. And she sang " Enemies burned native hut". It did not like the Commission of the Ministry of Culture, the program was banned. In fact, they were blocked oxygen. Saved Falik. He called Moscow, and Chervonu Ruta, bypassing all permits, included in the program" Stars of Soviet and foreign pop ". They hit The company to the Germans, Bulgarians, Czechs, Yugoslavam. In Tashkent, people after the concert asked if she liked the Soviet Union, where she learned so well to sing in Russian. It turned out, she was taken for the Bulgarian. There were unforgettable and funny, funny cases at concerts.

It was in Grozny at the stadium: reached the stage - slim, in a red fitting dress with zipper on the back. And here, just during the execution, the "lightning" burst. Spectators, of course, noticed. She sticks with his dress with his hands, so as not to fly away, and suddenly some kind of candy citizen with a huge pin run on the scene. Deployed her back to the public and under the common fun savage.

In 1972, Sofia Rotaru and Chervona Ruta participated in Poland in Poland with the program "Songs and Dancing Country of Soviets".

In 1973, the Gold Orpheus competition (Bulgaria) took place a competition "Golden Orpheus", Rotaru was received by the first award on it, fulfilling the song of E. My City and Bird - a song in Bulgarian, dedicated to the memory of Pasha Christ, the authors of which are . Rushev and D. Demyanov. The same year brought her the title of Honored Artist of the Ukrainian SSR. Songs in its execution "Codres" and "My City" in Moldavian language were recorded in the film "Spring Consonance - 73".

At the festival "Song - 73" Song E. Dogs "My City" performed by Sofia Rotaru became a laureate ...

When Sofia Rotaru goes on stage and starts singing, forget about everything in the world. Her transparent, charming voice penetrates into the soul, worries and conquers everyone who loves the stage, loves the song. It is standing in front of the microphone in the light of the spotlight - slender, festive, like a spring twig. How many charm, beauty, how many sincerity and excitement, when in the beautiful language of music and poetry, it is confidentially sharing with us all that it is happy and sad ...

In the May Day "Festive Evening in Ostankino" in 1974 she sang along with the artist from GDR Michael Hanzen. In the same year, Rotaru graduated from the Chisinau Institute for Arts and became the participant of the Burshtin Nightingale festival in Sopot (Poland), where he performed the "memoirs" B. Rychkov and "Vodograya" V. Ivasyuk. For the execution of the Polish song from the repertoire of Khalini Frontskovyk "Someone" (Russian Text A. Dementeyeva) received II Prize. On the "Song-74" Sofia Mikhailovna performed the "Ballad of Mother" by E. Martynov on poems A. Dementieva.

At the Festival "Song-75" in the final, "Swan loyalty" and "apple trees in bloom" came out. The song "Darkovanka" was performed with the Yugoslav singer Mickey Efremovich. A year later, the next festival sounded the songs "Verney Music" and "Dark Night". The second was performed with Anatoly Mokrenko.

In the work, the most important for Sofia Rotaru contact with the song, with its creators. They wrote songs to her and other composers. Evgeny Doga wrote "My City", Arno Babajanyan - "Return to me music", Oscar Feltsman Song "Just You", Yuri Saulsky - "Ordinary Story" ...

Sofia proudly says: " I was the first performer of many songs of one of the favorite composers by Evgeny Martynov. I love his "swan loyalty", "Ballad about the mother." In my repertoire of songs of different genres, but almost always - a dramatic plot, a dramatic melody. Song for me is a little novel with your world of feelings, dramaturgic, heroes ..."

Nevertheless, her main attractiveness for students is that the singer remains faithful to the people's manner of execution. The nationality is also manifested in the formulation of the voice, and in the simplicity, restraint of behavior on stage, and finally, in the choice of the repertoire: Rotaru's songs are always lyric, sowing. And yet, in a folk song, you will not meet random, no meaningful, empty words, and it undoubtedly taught Sofia among many new modern songs to choose only those that are filled with deep meaning, cause reflections. After all, in her opinion, for those three or four minutes, what a song lasts, the artist should have a lot to tell the listener, make it richer.

The song "Chervona Ruta" is still a calling card of Sofia Mikhailovna. For she found her Chervon Ruta ...

1980-1985: takeoff actresses and new cooperation

In 1980, Sofia Rotaru won the first award at the international competition in Tokyo for the execution of the Yugoslav song "Promise" and was awarded the Order of the Honor Sign.

The singer continued to experiment on his image and appeared on the scene for the first time among domestic women artists in a trouser costume, performing the song "Temp" Alexandra Pakhmutova to the verses of Nikolai Dobronravov.

The song was banned at the All-Union Radio by the head of the music edition Gennady Cherkasov because he did not like, as Sofia Rotaru sings. But since the premiere of the song took place on television, she managed to become famous even without a radio. In 1981, the film received a prize of the jury for the popularization of the song creativity of the Soviet composers at the XIV All-Union Film Festival in Vilnius in the section of art films. This film was the first experience of Sofia Rotaru in artistic cinema. Many critics called this role to fail, nevertheless, the film won the audience love, and the songs sounded in the film became legendary: "Red Arrow" (music Alexei Majukova, poems Nikolai Zinoviev), "Where are you, love?" (Music Raymond Pauls, poems Ilya Reznika), "Dance on the drum" (Music of Raymond Pauls, verses of Andrey Voznesensky).

The next stage of creativity began with the search for a new style - rock music and with the film "Soul" with the "car time" of 1981 with songs and. Having received the first sentence in Yalta to play in the film, Sofia Rotaru refused, so it was sick and doctors did not recommend not only shooting, but also further performances.

This pushed Alexander Borodyansky and Alexander Stefanovich on the description of the autobiographical plot about the dramatic situation in the life of the singer, about the loss of voice, and the disclosure at that moment her soul (dialogue on a pier with an elderly person) followed by reassessment of values. Seeing the new rewritten scenario, as well as songs written in a completely new for singer style, Sofia Rotaru agreed, moreover, I agreed to refuse some time from concert speeches to play in the film. Thus, the film became a musical melodrama, affecting not only the privacy of the artist and human relations, but also the question of the attitude towards the talent and the responsibility of the talent before those whom he is creating.

The German side was supposed to pay 156 brands and called back to Moscow. The next day, the translator handed over Sofia Rotaru: " Our chief decided to make you a small present, because Moscow does not allow the bid to increase ...

In the same year, while listening to the poet, the Vier was specially written for her by composer by Cyrian melody, Rotaru insisted in words about romantics.

1986-1989: New Wave - Europrop and Hard Rock

In the mid-1980s, a certain turning period has emerged in creativity. The search for a new aesthetics of creativity was penetrated by the musical film "Monologue about love" (1986), in which, in contrast to the previous, "Sofia Rotaru invites you" (1985) Only the composition I. Poklada "Water flows" carried the former folk character and the image of a collective farm girl, ranked star. In the film "Monologue about love" Sofia Rotaru performed the song "Amor" as Windsurfer, in the open sea and without a duckly. "Monologue about love" - \u200b\u200bthe album released in 1986 with soundtrakes and songs from the eponymous musical film, became the last work of Rotaru with the original Ukrainian composers. The "Chervon Ruta" ensemble returned to the Ukrainian song and left the singer, which became for Rotaru and Anatoly Evdokimenko, the artistic director "Chervona Ruta", a big surprise. In one of the interviews Sofia Rotaru to the question of the journalist " Have you ever been terribly scary?"Replied:" When I betrayed me. It was connected with the team of "Chervon Ruta", which Tolik (A. Evdokimenko) organized at one time. It was a peak of popularity when we were worn on their hands when the cars were raised at concerts. The guys seemed to be that they could count on success and without me that I was wrong with them, not the repertoire that they get a little money ... When we went to my homeland with Tolik, they gathered and decided that we were not needed. They went with a scandal and named "Chervon Ruta».

A sharp change in the direction of Creativity by Rotaru occurred after the start of cooperation with the composer Vladimir Matsky in 1986. Lavender and Moon, Moon, Moskvich Vladimir Matecksky, have already appeared - the two most popular Sovies of the USSR 1986. The joint album of Rotaru and the Matec "Golden Heart" was recorded already with Moscow studio musicians. Sofia Rotaru moved to Europrop's style compositions ("was, but", "Moon"), right up to the elements of Hard-rock ("time of my", "only this little"). Matsky and his co-author Poet Mikhail Shabra practically monopolized the right to cooperate with Rotaru over the next 15 years, producing talented work, in large numbers included in concert programs of 1990-2000, and became popular at the expense of the charismatic personality Rotaru and its outstanding vocal data. .

The beginning of this cooperation laid the song "Lavanda", written by V. Matsky in 1985 for her duet with Yaak Joalo and still not lost its popularity. The Lavender followed the "Luna, Moon", "was, but", "wild swans", "Farmery", "Spass", "Lunar Rainbow", "Stars like stars", "Night Moth", "Golden Heart "," My life, my love "and many others.

In 1986, the composer V. Migulya wrote specifically for the singer's song "Life", which very rarely sounded.

Active touring activities and constant presence in the musical ether led to the fact that by the end of the 80s S. Rotaru objectively became the leader of Soviet song art. On May 11, 1988, Sofia Rotaru for great merits in the development of Soviet musical arts assigned the title of People's Artist of the USSR, the first of the modern pop singers.

At the same time, the transition to a Russian-language repertoire caused a certain rejection in Ukraine. The accusations of the treacherism of the national culture, in addition to the overall growth of nationalism, they were actively warmed by Soviet state production structures, philharmonic and concert associations, which were led during economic reforms to control the financial side of the Rotari's concert activity. In order to avoid large-scale provocations, Rotaru refused to participate in the festival "Chervon Ruta", held in her homeland in 1989. In the late 80s, the exacerbated interethnic relations led to the fact that in 1989, at the national concert in Lviv at the Friendship Stadium, a part of the audience, tuned against Sofia Rotaru, met the singer posters " Sofia, waiting for you a car!"And a whistle, which led to clashes with her fans.

Nevertheless, Sofia Rotaru continued to sing Ukrainian songs and constantly included them in the first branches of concert programs. The new songs of this period in the Ukrainian language were the works of N. Brain ("Edge", "Minaє Day"), A. Klenyuk ("Echo of Loyalty"), E. Rybchinsky ("Tchech Water"), Y. Rybchinsky ("Rabbed Hearts "), and later - R. Quinta (" Chekay "," One Kalina "," Fog "). At the same time, it was prepared and represented by the viewer in 1991, the new program, which was in the album Romance half consisting of remakes of Songs Ivasyuk and other famous Ukrainian composers and poets in Ukrainian, in particular, "Chervon Ruta", "Cheremshina", " Klenovy Vogd "," Edge "," Siecocrilies of Ptah "," Zhovsti Leaf ", which became the classics of the Ukrainian pop song, after which such accusations were crumbled.

In 1991, the next work was published by Rotaru and Mateck - LP "Caravan Love" (Sintez Records, Riga, Latvia), also with a noticeable influence in hard rock and metal stylistics, which was at that time at the peak of its popularity. Simultaneously with the album comes the same musical television and the concert program Golden heart, which has become the last program of the singer of the USSR.

The disintegration of the Union was reflected in the geography of Sofia Rotaru's travels. The USSR Ministry of Culture obliges artists to perform touring hot-points. Refusing at the beginning, Rotaru, prepared "Friends remain friends" and "Caravan of Love" presented in Vilnius, Riga, Tallinn, Tbilisi, Baku and Yerevan. Concerts were held in premises with the lack of relevant conditions, which led to inflammation of the lungs. Sofia Rotaru said: " I was warned - do not go into the hall, you never know what. Even the guard attached. And I think: with what you go to a person, he will repay you and will repay».

In the late 80s, participating in the national concert, Sofia Rotaru drew attention to the performance of the ballet "Todes" and invited him to cooperate. Todes dances made her songs more spectacular from a stage point of view. In concert programs of this period, Sofia Rotaru almost all songs danced with Todes.

Rescued from arrest

For us on shooting, it often came to the famous Alik Tivanchik, - recalled former husband Alla Pugacheva - film director Alexander StefanovichWith whom Rotaru in the early 80s was filmed in the film "Soul". - He was accused of a breakdown of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. They say, bribed the judges for victory Marina Anisina. He even sat under the investigation in prison in Venice.

We met when I was still married to Alla. Once he brought her flowers and gifts as a sign of respect for her talent. Seeing it on the set "Soul", I at first could not remember where we met before. "Who is this person?" I asked Sony. "This is my friend Alik," she explained. It turned out that they are familiar for many years. Once we sat in the hotel "South" on the balcony of my "Lux" and suddenly saw that black "funnels" approach the entrance, and militiamen with guns come out of them. "This is followed me," Alik said quietly.

It turned out, he was declared all-union wanted list. It seems to be pursued for the card game. We all did not even sympathize with the authorities. And they took to save Alik from the arrest. Hid him in the room where our operator with his wife lived, and did not allow police officers there. Alik constantly brought on our shooting a basket of delicacies and bouquets for Sony. And when in Moscow it became cold, he gave her a fur coat. Sony has since remained with Alik a very warm relationship. She even sang on his 60th anniversary in Moscow.

And after deathAnatoly Evdokimenko Sofia Mikhailovna stubbornly attributed a novel with a young musician Vasily, Or, as he called himself, Vassie Bogatyrevwho accompanied her on the guitar during television filming.

Moreover, himself was not publicly admitted in gentle feelings to Rotar. And even in one interview with 2012, it was mentioned about the intention to play with her wedding in Las Vegas. I didn't he mean Sergey Zverev, talking about the existence of a secret husband's singer?

Invite to the work of Bogatyreva, Rotaru advised I and her daunt of Svetlana, - the former concert director of the People's Artist told Olga Konyakhina. - Once Sofia Mikhailovna sent to him to record a song for the next teleproject. We observed with Svetlana, like Vasily steering a record. And we had the idea that he would have looked beautifully with a guitar next to Rotaru and one could not carry the musicians from Kiev every time on shooting Moscow and not pay them insane money. Sofia Mikhailovna approved this thought. And Bogatyrev immediately took advantage of the situation to attract attention.

Crystal Rosa

Despite the presence of a wife and child, Vasily began to carely care for Rotaru, "Konyakhina continues. - gave her a crystal rose, then some more crazy gifts. And in every way played the press, thirsting to see their lovers. Sofia Mikhailovna smiles supported favorably and did not stop his games. Apparently, she was nice that everyone spoke about her relationship with a young interesting guy. But nothing serious between them could not be. Her son Ruslan would not close to her mother to her mother so that her money would not give God! - did not go to the side. He did not even allow her to meet her old love - a former musician from the "Chervon Ruta" group, which was announced after the death of his father. "Sonya, he is old and terrible," Ruslan said. - Why do you need him?". "I would just like to see him and talk to him," she tried to arouse. But the son did not listen to her.
