Do you know the real names of Russian stars? If not, then read our article. We are happy to tell you a couple of secrets.
The influence of a pseudonym on fate
Have you noticed that the real names of Russian pop stars in many casessound quite ordinary and not memorable? This fact was clearly understood by the producers, who came up with something completely different for their wards - something that would be imprinted in people's memory immediately. Interestingly, many pop stars admit that the new name, taken as a stage name, completely changed their lives. And this is not surprising - a sonorous name obliges to behave in a very special way, because it attracts attention and becomes literally a second skin. Over time, the real names and surnames of Russian stars are forgotten not only by journalists, but also by themselves. Therefore, cases of changing passports are common, in which instead of the previous initials, the now-famous pseudonym of the star is indicated.
It is interesting that writers often take pseudonyms. Psychologists believe that this allows them to reveal their talent to the fullest. After all, it is natural for a person to doubt his abilities, and the creative process that takes place under a different name completely removes all restrictions and clamps. The writer becomes free and obeys only a flight of fancy. Therefore, amazing images come out from under his pen, which might not exist if he created under his real name.
Russian stars for the most part act under pseudonyms that arose by chance or are a well-thought-out marketing ploy. Let's find out the secrets of their real names.
Singer Yolka
This extravagant girl literally blew up the Russian stage in 2004. The viewer was especially interested in her wonderful pseudonym, because nothing like this has ever been seen among pop singers. Why Yolka?Surprisingly, the girl, whose name, by the way, is Elizaveta Ivantsiv, does not even know where this funny nickname came from.
It became attached to the singer as a child, as one of the family friends called her, and gradually even her parents stopped calling her Elizabeth. Now all the close circle of the singer often calls her a diminutive - Yolochka, and she herself has become so accustomed to her stage name that she is even thinking of changing her passport. However, for now, it shows her real name.
Russian stars: Bianca
The Belarusian beauty, singing in the R&B genre, was immediately remembered by the audience not only for her unusual vocals and bold presentation of musical compositions, but also for her bright name Bianca. Few people know that the real name of the Russian star is very far from the screen image - Tatiana Lipnitskaya.
The girl's creative path began from early childhood, she sang, danced well and was even invited to work in Germany. At that time, in her native Belarus, she was known and loved as Tatyana, but a joint project with the Russian singer Seryoga and his team completely changed the girl's life.
Literally after the first joint album, which was a huge success, the young singer took a new stage name - Bianca. It is interesting that it was Seryoga who dubbed her that way, who decided that the R&B style implies not only a bright image, but also the same enchanting name. Besides, the pseudonym really suitedgirl, he revealed her nature in the best possible way and turned out to be a happy ticket for the singer to the Russian stage.
MakSim
The real names and surnames of the stars of Russian show business do not always become public, many of them hide the secrets of their personal lives from prying eyes for a long time. Singer Maksim for a long time hid from curious journalists not only her real name, but also the details of the difficult ascent to the Russian pop Olympus.
In fact, the girl's name is Marina Abrosimova, but even in her native Kazan she was called Maxim. Later, the nickname changed a little and turned into a well-known stage name.
The singer herself said in an interview that from an early age she was everywhere next to her brother Maxim. With his light hand, she was engaged in karate and spent almost all her free time with his friends. Over time, they stopped calling her Marina, but jokingly teased her with the name of her brother. The girl did not mind, besides, the mother's maiden name - Maksimova - also played a role in choosing a stage name when the young singer began to seriously engage in vocals.
Singer Jasmine

And only much later the fanslearned that the name of the oriental beauty is Sara Manakhimova, and as a child she did not plan to become a pop singer at all. Sarah studied well, foreign languages were easy for her, and the cheerful nature of the girl made her the star of the KVN university team.
At the same time, she worked as a model and developed her vocal abilities as a hobby. The first husband of the singer Vyacheslav Semenduev became the initiator and inspirer of her creative activity on the big stage. It was then that she chose her stage name, which brought her fame and fame.
Interestingly, the girl did not think too long about what new name to choose for herself. Her favorite fairy-tale heroine has always been Princess Jasmine from the story of Aladdin. Therefore, the decision on the pseudonym was made almost at lightning speed and turned out to be very successful.

However, few people know that in some cases Russian pop stars and politicians hide their real names. The latter, especially the younger party members, sometimes have different hobbies that require a stage name.
For example, the young beauty Ekaterina is a member of United RussiaAkritov, who claims to be elected to the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnodar Territory. But at night, many nightclub visitors know her under the name DJ Katya Inferna. This hobby has long been present in Catherine's life, and she is not going to stop doing her favorite hobby.

Jewish roots on the Russian stage
The Jewish trace has always been clearly traced in the history of many famous Russians who are currently honored cultural figures or leading politicians. The real names of Russian Jewish stars are carefully hidden under pseudonyms or ordinary Russian surnames.
For example, a famous couple of two talented people - Angelica Varum and Leonid Agutin - has Jewish roots on both sides. Leonty Nikolaevich Chizhov (that's the real name of Leonid Agutin) was born into a Jewish family. And in the family of Anzhelika Varum, the well-known Jewish surname Robak was replaced by Varum during the Second World War, when the family had to hastily flee Poland.
The famous singer Larisa Dolina, at the very beginning of her singing career, decided to hide her real Jewish surname Kudelman under a sonorous pseudonym. Jewish roots are present in Mikhail Shufutinsky, Marina Khlebnikova, Boris Moiseev and many other Russian pop stars.
