The 90s is a whole era. The crisis, new reforms, bandits, deficits, but for some reason this time causes nostalgia and fond memories for many.
It’s just that in the 90s there came the youth and childhood of several generations, and a person always remembers these periods of life as the brightest.
It will take several decades, and they will forget about the 90s. People will know what happened in this period only from history books.
But while the 90s and nostalgia go hand in hand. This article will focus on Russian stars who became popular precisely in this difficult time. The whole country knew them, and then many of them simply disappeared.
Fans were at a loss: their favorite celebrities were out of sight, nothing was known about their lives. It turns out that the fate of some idols of those times prepared great tests.
Below are 10 Russian stars of the 90s, whose life has developed very sadly.
10. Vadim Kazachenko
Vadim was a very popular singer, his hits were known by heart then, but at the peak of his popularity, the singer disappeared. At least that's what the fans thought.
They said a lot, one of the reasons for his disappearance from the scene was called a scandal with the producer. Vadim denied all the rumors. He admitted that he decided to take a break. The singer worked a lot and was very tired.
True, after a while he tried to return to the scene. Triumphant return did not work. There were several more attempts.
The media wrote about an unpleasant situation with a famous producer, to whom Kazachenko's lover paid an impressive amount to return Vadim popularity. Nothing succeeded.
Although in 2017, Kazachenko was still remembered. His personal life was then discussed throughout the country. It turned out that Vadim was simultaneously married to two women.
9. Bogdan Titomir
The singer won the hearts of many thousands of Russian girls. His career was rapid, he became one of the first hip-hop artists. Bogdan earned millions, but the money did not bring him happiness.
He started having drug problems. The singer went to America, explaining his departure as "continuing education." He wanted to do club business.
Law enforcement officers had their own point of view on this situation. They said that Titomir escaped from gang warfare.
In the 2000s, the singer returned to Russia, but he could only dream of former popularity. He performed in clubs for some time, but few were interested in his work.
It seems that the singer is not worried about this, now Bogdan is a well-known art person, and this is enough for him.
8. Aziza
This girl made a big splash in the post-Soviet era. She appeared on stage in frank and colorful outfits, behaved liberally and caused shock in the public.
Soon the young singer became very popular, but in 1991 there was a tragedy that turned the star's life upside down. There was a murder of Igor Talkov, and a friend of Aziza was nearby during a brawl. He was charged with murder.
At that time, the singer was pregnant. She lost her baby, and then survived the persecution and accusations. There could be no talk of speeches.
A few years later, the singer recovered from grief and tried to return to the stage. Aziza has released several albums, now she is also engaged in music, but she cannot return her former popularity.
The personal life of the singer did not work out. She did not suffer from a lack of male attention, but she failed to recognize the happiness of motherhood.
7. Yuri Shatunov
Yuri was the idol of millions of girls. At first he performed as a member of the band “Tender May”, but then he decided to pursue a solo career.
Shatunov succeeded, but instead of taking advantage of his success and becoming even more popular, he decided to leave for Germany.
Yuri lived there for some time, was educated as a sound engineer, and simultaneously recorded songs.
Now the singer is still giving himself to music, but he can rarely be seen on TV or heard on the radio, perhaps something from the "old" one.
6. Vlad Stashevsky
Everyone knew the songs of Vlad Stashevsky. Crowds of fans ran after the young handsome man. The singer released five albums, which received great success, but, apparently, he had his own vision of creativity.
He did not cooperate with his producer anymore and decided to release his sixth album on his own. He was a failure. New lyric songs by Vlad did not inspire fans, they soon began to forget about him.
Now Vlad is engaged in business, he is doing well. He says he hasn't stopped making music and is still performing.
Here are just about Vlad’s concerts there is no information. Most likely, the singer means speaking at private parties and corporate parties.
5. Evgeny Osin
Eugene from childhood dreamed of devoting his life to music. He was lucky to get into the Bravo group. He worked for a year as a vocalist, then began to pursue a solo career.
Huge success brought him the song "Crying girl in the machine." Eugene Osin released several albums, traveled to Russia on tour. He had a lot of fans.
In the early 2000s, interest in the work of Eugene Osin began to fade. His style of performance is outdated, the songs were no longer relevant. This period was very difficult for Eugene, he became interested in alcohol, and then turned to faith.
In recent years, Osin was sick a lot, and in the fall of 2018 he died of cardiac arrest. He was 54 years old at that time.
4. Marina Khlebnikova
Marina became famous thanks to the hit "Cup of coffee." He brought her folk love and many awards.
This singer gave the impression of a frivolous coquette, but in fact her life was very difficult. Numerous problems in his personal life and poor health led to the fact that Khlebnikova could no longer speak.
She was diagnosed with a serious dental disease, and the doctors even forbade her to sing. However, no one remembered Khlebnikova, at that time she was already unpopular.
Now the star occasionally performs at concerts of friends, is engaged in voice acting.
