If in the announcement of a performance, movie or concert, the name of the artist is accompanied by the title of "honored" or "folk", it always works: the public is more willing to attend such events. Is the magic of a high-profile title really that strong? Not at all. It's just been known for a long time: an artist of this rank will surely please with a selfless game or singing that will penetrate into the most hidden depths of the soul.

The fact that the title of Honored Artist is somewhat lower in the honorary hierarchy of awards in comparison with the title of People's Artist does not detract from people's love at all.

Honored Artists of Russia are figures of the theatrical stage, cinema, stage - whose talent, noted at the state level, enjoys well-deserved recognition of many generations of admirers.

"The Secret of the Glued Pages" by Leonid Agutin

Leonid's nameAgutin is familiar to every lover of the Russian stage. For the first time, the country applauded the singer at the Y alta-92 contest, where Leonid became one of the laureates. His "Barefoot Boy" was remembered by the Soviet listener for a long time.

Two years later, the singer releases his first album, named after this beloved song. In the spring of the same year, the album's songs become hits and elevate the young artist to the pinnacle of musical success.

Today the singer remains one of the most popular Russian performers. New generations of fans are joining the ranks of his fans.

Agutin Leonid Nikolaevich was born on 07/16/68. At the age of six, he enters a music school, in addition to general education, he also studies at the Moscow jazz school in the piano class. After leaving school, he gives two years (1986-1988) to serve in the army. As a student of the Moscow Institute of Culture, he travels with famous bands.

90s bring fame to the singer: Agutin is a laureate of prestigious international competitions - "Y alta-92" and "Jurmala-93".

Then he releases the album "Barefoot Boy" that made him famous and becomes the winner of three nominations: "Singer of the Year", "Song of the Year", "Album of the Year". His later famous "Voice of Tall Grass", "Hop, hey, la-la-lei!" highly appreciated by the audience and the jury.

The next year, the singer makes another breakthrough to the top of fame and collects sold-out concerts at the Olimpiyskiy.

At the same time, his solo album "Decameron" was released. Lenid Agutin -record holder for the number of Golden Gramophones received - along with such figures as Kirkorov and Meladze.

2005: The singer, along with the legendary American jazz guitarist Al Di Meola, released a joint studio album called "Cosmopolitan Life", which became the bestseller in the music markets of Europe and America. The album was called "a musical bridge between cultures" by critics. Based on the disc, a film was created, which was immediately appreciated by the audience in many countries.

In 2008, the cohort - "Honored Artists of Russia" - was replenished with another name: the singer was awarded this honorary title.

2009: releases the first collection of poetry - "Notebook 69", which includes lyrics of poems and songs created in the last ten years: "This is my worldview, my creed and my life position …", - says about his poetry Agutin.

Leonid Nikolaevich from 2011 to 2015 takes an active part in various shows and competitions: "Zirka + Zirka", "Two Stars", etc. The last project brings the singer another victory.

From 2012 to 2014, the musician is a member of the jury and mentor of the TV project "Voice".

The talent of Leonid Agutin - singer, composer and poet - pleases admirers of good modern music with its potential inexhaustibility.

For all the time of his work, the singer released sixteen albums that won the love of listeners and brought popularity to the author. One of them is called symbolically: "The Secret of the Glued Pages." I would like to believe that the musician's talent has not yet been fully revealed, the time will come - and he will play with new,unexpected edges.

Life and death of Vladislav Galkin

Another name that rightfully complemented this glorious cohort is Honored Artists of Russia…

"Life should consist of an attentive attitude to the world around you and a grateful attitude to … life," the actor formulated his credo with such a tautology. It is difficult to judge how much the cheerful, sparkling love of life, immersed in the frantic pace of filming, managed to focus on attention to others, but to be grateful to life - everyone will agree with this - Galkin had reasons.

A talented actor - with such inimitable charm and openness that millions of viewers who were constantly following the ups and downs of films with his participation, it seemed as if they were not seeing an artist in the image in front of them on the screen, but communicating with a personal friend. Isn't that a success?

That is why his sudden death was perceived by many as the loss of a loved one. He didn't leave forever, it doesn't happen that way. He is here - in his films and in the hearts of those who loved and love him…

Galkin Vladislav Borisovich was born on December 25, 1971 in a family of artists. His adoptive father is a famous actor and director Boris Galkin. The actor's childhood passed in Zhukovsky, near Moscow.

Participation in the first screen tests was due to my grandmother, Lyudmila Nikolaevna. He made his film debut at the age of nine as Huckleberry Finn in S. Govorukhin's film.

After that, there was successful work in the films: “This scoundrel Sidorov”, “Golden Chain”, etc. - by the age of 18, the choice of profession waspredetermined.

In 1992 he graduated from Shchukinskoe and entered VGIK.

Saboteur-2. End of the war”, “Spetsnaz”, “I am flying”, etc.

In 2009, Vladislav Galkin received the title of Honored Artist.

Boris Galkin said about one of the roles of his son: “He did more than just an actor, he was imbued with the spirit of the times.”

He was always like this: he gave himself without reserve to work, love, life in its most diverse manifestations: building a house for parents, cars, horses, planes, parachuting…

His acquaintances recall: the actor worked selflessly, he entered the role so deeply that after the completion of filming he needed, as they say, “adrenaline”, otherwise it was impossible to get rid of the image that dominated him … And then it happened …

Failure

The shooting of the television series "Kotovsky" was over. On the way home from Yaroslavl to Moscow, the actor enters a bar and pours alcohol into himself glass by glass. The bartender refuses to repeat the next portion, and Vladislav takes out a gun and starts firing at people…

No one was hurt, his father got involved, Vladislav was given a suspended sentence of 14 months for hooliganism.

Friends explain what happened by the fact that the actor failed to get out of character: when he entered the bar, he was still there - in civilian clothes, in the role of the legendary brigade commander…

Psychics invited to investigate the circumstances of his death,which happened six months later, they speak of a protracted and deep depression experienced by the actor at that time, as well as a feeling of incessant loneliness that has haunted him since childhood.

It is known that during this period the actor's relationship with his beloved wife, actress Daria Mikhailova, went wrong. The actor experienced a family crisis very hard.

Vladislav Galkin died on February 27, 2010. His death is explained by the diagnosis: acute heart failure. A few days earlier, Vladislav was discharged from the hospital, where he was treated for pancreatitis. His parents were worried that he was not answering his calls and called the police. According to a representative of the Moscow Central Internal Affairs Directorate, the body of the artist was discovered by the police and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. There were no signs of violent death.

Buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery in Moscow.

Oleg Gazmanov: “I’ll be torn in half by a song in flight…”

In the cohort of "Honored Artists of Russia" the name of Oleg Gazmanov is one of the brightest.

A talented, inimitable singer, composer, poet, People's and Honored and Artist of Russia, Gazmanov is a laureate of many authoritative Russian and international festivals, a multiple winner of the Ovation award.

His repertoire strikes with a variety of themes: from lyrical and dance songs to deep works imbued with patriotic and civic pathos.

The soulfulness of exciting melodies, the uniqueness of the poetic images of his songs, the inimitable gift of the artist earned Oleg Gazmanov people's love andrecognition.

"Esaul", "Squadron", "Officers", "Seaman", "My Clear Days", "The Only One", "Fresh Wind", "Moscow" - his songs call for unity, teach good, instill love for the Motherland, support in difficult moments of life. They brought up more than one generation of listeners. They are performed with pleasure by the leading singers of the country.

Gazmanov Oleg Mikhailovich was born into a military family on 1951-22-07 in the city of Gusev (Kaliningrad Region).

Studied at secondary school No. 8 (of which Lyudmila Putina was once a graduate).

After graduating from the maritime school, he took up science, went on ships at sea, taught at the university. Over time, I lost faith in the possibility of being realized as a scientist. He is studying guitar at the music school, since 1981 he has been engaged in creative activity. The first stage of Gazmanov was the restaurant of the Kaliningrad Hotel, then he works in the city VIA.

1989: Gazmanov creates his team "Squadron", one of his soloists is the son of Rodion.

Gazmanov's "calling card" is his hits "Squadron", "Esaul", "Putana", "Lord Officers", "Sailor". His song "Moscow" is considered the unofficial anthem of the capital.

2012: with the song and dance ensemble named after. F V. Aleksandrova takes part in the recording of the Anthem of the Russian Federation.

Sanctions

2014: actively participates in the preparation and holding of the Sochi Olympic Games, signs the appeal of Russian cultural figures in support of Putin's policy regarding Ukraine and Crimea.

Gazmanov's work is not accepted by everyone exclusively favorably. Yes, Shevchukwas called a "Kremlin-parquet" musician.

However, it is assumed that it was the video for the song "New Dawn", which protested against corruption and earned a reputation as a scandalous one, was the reason for the singer's disgrace.

2015 was marked by the fact that Gazmanov uploads his clip “Forward, Russia!” to Youtube, because of which the Internet community accused him of militarism and hackers blocked the singer's video channel.

At the moment, the channel is unblocked again, after a wide publicity of the story.

Regarding Oleg Gazmanov, in connection with his socio-political views, a number of international sanctions have been adopted by the governments of Latvia and Estonia, Ukraine. The singer, as well as some other cultural figures of the Russian Federation (I. Kobzon, Valeria, etc.), are prohibited from entering these countries.

According to Gazmanov, such sanctions "inflame the situation" in the world and "jeopardize the integrity of cultural relations" between peoples.

The singer is the author of 18 extremely popular albums and discs, a multiple winner of the Golden Gramophone award.

His songs are willingly performed by mega-stars of the Russian stage: M. Boyarsky, F. Kirkorov, M. Rasputina, I. Kobzon, V. Leontiev and others.
