The history of a great country is unthinkable without many people. All over the world, Russia is famous not only for its vast territories, mineral deposits and the cleanest lake, but also for the abundance of scientists, artists, actors and musicians. In each generation, like rare golden grains washed out of the sand, famous people of Russia remain. But the interest is that over time, the criteria by which these unique personalities are selected are changing. And if earlier a famous person was a Nobel laureate, a director who received the first film award, a doctor with public recognition, now the so-called "socialites", gangsta rappers and representatives of the "golden youth" are on this list. So, who can be attributed to the most famous people in Russia?

What are the rating parameters?

Getting into the list of the most popular personalities is not at all as difficult as it is believed in society. Of course, it all dependson what kind of personal PR is required. Anyone who has absolutely no self-respect can be known from a negative point of view. It is enough to become a serial killer, shoot defenseless animals or defend your views even in the absence of oppression. If the first two options may still seem blasphemous, then the latter is often used in practice. The Tatu group became popular precisely on this principle. At the heart of the PR was the alleged gay teenage girls who are not accepted by society. The mass hysteria of the fans made it possible to observe a worldwide phenomenon - people love rebels.

Thus, the first criterion for getting into the list of "Famous people of Russia" is the difference from the gray mass. A popular person has his own role and a vivid image that is understandable to the audience. In the sphere of politics, this is undoubtedly Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who, despite his higher education, extraordinary skills of eloquence and rhetoric, as well as prudence, continues to exploit the image of a cynic, rebel and clown to the delight of the public.

Not necessarily famous people of Russia are brawling and breaking laws; it can be complete opposites, for example, the singer Valeria, glorifying the institution of family and marriage, forgiving her ex-husband beatings and humiliation. Although, it must be admitted that she managed to turn the difficult period of her life in her favor and make a competent PR move out of this.

First place ranking

Constantly there are disputes, in the center of which are the names of famous people of Russia. Considering that now the president of the country is constantly mentioned in all the media, it is not surprising that he is in the lead in this rating. His achievements are regularly celebrated by millions of people around the country. In his place, it is impossible to imagine another person who would cope with the volume of tasks and problems. Putin's popularity is understandable, though unusual. So, he achieved respect for the people and a certain weight in society, despite the classical style, a shady past, a divorce from his wife, which is nonsense for modern society. In addition, there are rumors about Vladimir Putin related to his personal preferences. Many media hunt for his pictures with women and regularly provide evidence of his relationship with former gymnast Alina Kabaeva. But the truth of these suspicions cannot be proved, because the president's reputation is clean, no discrediting ties are observed.

At the same time, the people respect the president for being a simple man and a real man. He goes in for sports, maintaining excellent physical shape. He is a noble man and even managed to pass a divorce with honor and dignity. He is a good father who raised his daughters away from the media. He loves his dog and is prone to simple weaknesses like fishing. Finally, he is quite an attractive man, who was sung even by the soloists of the Strelki group, who made his name a household name for a real male. Do not forget that the producers of Putinka vodka are building a full-fledged brand on his name, and the word “way” is considered the root of his surname. No wonder the namePresident thunders around the world. And it is all the more logical that there is talk of giving him the Nobel Peace Prize.

Unusual contenders for the title of leader

Recently famous people in Russia are not necessarily Russians. For example, the recognized and beloved French film actor Gerard Depardieu, who suddenly received Russian citizenship. Almost 20% of Russians noted his act and voted for him when compiling lists of "famous people of modern Russia." What can be said about Depardieu? He is incredibly charismatic and simple. Behind him is an impressive baggage of works in cinema, moreover, included in the golden fund of films. His image is understandable and close to the Russian people. Depardieu is a he althy man who loves life, women and all kinds of pleasures. He is organic in any role and attracts the eyes of the viewer. There are those who do not understand the popularity of the actor: after all, he is not handsome and, it would seem, cannot play the most rated roles of hero-lovers. But is it just that? Gerard will always be in business, which was clearly proved by the last season of the series "Zaitsev + 1", where the actor played the role of the alter ego of the protagonist's father.

According to the list

But it is necessary to return to the undisputed leaders of the rating. For example, more than 50% of respondents considered Dmitry Medvedev the most popular. Although he was not marked by strong words and serious achievements, being the president of Russia, the people appreciated his policy, commitment to the chosen cause and well-coordinated work in a team with Putin.

Although basically the list of well-known politicians does not change from year to year, but the respondents are in no hurry to consider them popular. And the oligarchs, of whom there are too many in Russia, also for the most part prefer to hide the sources of their income, so there are not enough popular ones among them. After politicians, the most famous people in Russia are, of course, representatives of show business. Sharply and unexpectedly, the chanson performer Stas Mikhailov soared to the top of the ratings. There has never been a severe need for such music in the country, but, apparently, such a time has come. The main audience of the singer are women, divorced and romantic, suffering from a lack of affection and love. In the simple and uncomplicated lines of Mikhailov's songs, they see the desired man and therefore earnestly demand new hits. According to Forbes, Stas Mikhailov is the most popular person in Russia.

Prima

If famous people of Russia become the topic, the list will be incomplete without prima donna Alla Pugacheva. I must admit honestly: the woman who sings did not take the people with the deep meaning of her songs, but conquered them with sincerity and in a clear way. She is a real woman, loving, beloved, sometimes unhappy, but incredibly strong and therefore attractive. A devoted audience forgave her everything: love, marriage, divorce. Her daughter has already become popular in absentia, although, to the credit of Christina Orbakaite, it must be admitted that her acting and performing talent also showed up too early. Compared to last year, Pugacheva's rating has seriously decreased, but the army of fans has not thinned. Maybe now it attractsalso a change in her personal life - a young man nearby, two small children, a quiet life and a desire to pass on her knowledge to the younger generation.

Top ten

How else are famous people of Russia defined? Photos of the most popular occupy the first pages of the media. Over the past year, the rating of Andrei Arshavin, who has shown himself to be a self-serving person and a two-faced man, has decreased. Although his ex-wife does not throw mud at the football player, the divorce became loud and demonstrated Arshavin's attitude towards children and his wife. Vladimir Pozner remains a dark horse, but TV presenter Andrei Malakhov is not losing ground. His popularity this year is comparable to that of Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov. Philip Kirkorov did not reach the leader. In this, neither the children born, nor the appearance in the media with violent repentance in their skirmishes with the ladies helped him. Closes the second ten Valentina Matvienko, Governor of St. Petersburg.

Persons with floating popularity

From year to year, the names of popular personalities change. But for quite some time now, Timur Yunusov under the pseudonym Timati has been on the lips of many. From a young and daring rapper, Timati has grown to a full-fledged family man with a wife and a child. The boy grew up and matured, so he slightly changed his musical style. It must be admitted that Timati has never been an overly scandalous individual. His romantic affair with the singer Alexa was at the epicenter of the attention of the audience of the Star Factory-4 project. After that there was a swift but unconvincing romance with Ksenia Sobchak, in memory of whichone clip left. Timati has shown himself to be a good friend, a quality performer and a forward-thinking businessman. Of course, he had a good rear in the face of a we althy father, but the boy did not rest on his laurels, but decided to develop separately from his parent. Popular among their loyal fans are such performers as Grigory Leps, who also performs in the chanson genre, and Elena Vaenga.

At the peak

For many years now, Sergey Bezrukov, who has finally opened up like a flower, has been the undisputed leader in the film industry.

He used to be called a sunny boy, and although the charming smile was preserved, talent and acting baggage were added to it. Bezrukov is capable of any role, and the staff of his fans will provide the film with a rating. The names of famous people in Russia are gradually changing, and the former generation is being replaced by a fresh one. Maybe that's why there are no Joseph Kobzon, Arkady Raikin, Gennady Khazanov or Sergei Bondarchuk on the lists now. They remain loved, but do not reflect the realities of the modern country. At the peak of popularity, young people, and of indeterminate age. After all, you can’t call Ivan Urgant, Dmitry Nagiyev, Alexander Tsekalo or Sergey Svetlakov young men? By the way, here it is, the main layer of famous people - comedians. Many of them were given a ticket to life by KVN and Alexander Maslyakov, whom they never tire of thanking. KVN opened a new humor, far from claims, pathos and hackneyed topics. Graduates of KVN are not left with nothing, but go to conquer new heights. For example, the path of many lies in"Comedy Club", girls prefer "Comedy Wumen", and independent persons rush to open their own programs and make films.

Life of wonderful people

The fate of media personalities is hard and unsightly, so they do not advise them to envy, but dream of the vale of a star. Who likes to have a "tail" in the form of constantly sleepless paparazzi? But you have to keep yourself in shape, knowing that every extra kilogram will be noticed and mercilessly criticized. The life of famous people in Russia involves close contact with beauty salons, the media, charities and sometimes unceremonious photographers who are happy to profit from a good shot. Today's Russia may turn out to be cynical and tough. Therefore, today's "stars" quickly go out, and only truly famous people remain in eternal memory. Such as Sergei Korolev, who launched satellites into orbit, Alexander Fleming, who discovered penicillin and lysozyme, Nikita Mikhalkov and Vladimir Menshov, who became famous for their film works. Evgeni Plushenko has a good chance to gain a foothold in history, who leaves no chance for his opponents when he goes on the ice. From the first chord, pianist Denis Matsuev conquers the audience. And who will forget Sergei Yesenin, a master of rural landscapes, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, an outstanding composer and conductor, Yuri Gagarin, the first cosmonaut, and many other outstanding people who will be loved and remembered by modern Russia.
