“When Ivan is a little older, I hope he will live with me. While he is under the supervision of his grandparents, he has a great room there, ”says Elena Vaenga, who invited 7D correspondents to her new apartment in the center of St. Petersburg.
Elena, how long have you got this apartment in the center of St. Petersburg?
Three years ago, but all this time I trimmed it. The designer and my friend, the honored builder of Russia, helped me, but without false modesty I’ll say: I completely did the repair myself.
I personally went to the store for any screw and nut, picked up every little thing. And then everything is not ready: I \u200b\u200bcan not find simple black chairs for the dining room and a TV stand. Everywhere furniture is sold in the "Hermitage" style - "expensive and rich." And I love high-tech, clear lines, discreet colors. As they say, "quadratic, practical, gut." I believe that the situation in the apartment is a complete reflection of the human character. At home, everything should be smooth, simple, closed, cleaned inside. Nothing should remain outside, with rare exceptions. Unless flowers, photographs, books ... The inner world should be richer than what is outside!
“Why did you choose this particular apartment?”
Uncle Vanya lives below the floor - as I call Ivan Matvienko (producer of the singer. - Ed.). Now we are joking with Matvienko that it remains only to cut a ladder to go to visit each other. Maybe one day we’ll do it ... Even this year’s Christmas trees were “kindred” to us. My whole in white and red balls - "for girls", and Uncle Vanya and I (the administrator of the singer. - Ed.) Dressed up a Christmas tree in blue - "for the boy." Even in Uncle Vanya’s apartment there are paintings that he himself paints. Recently finished a canvas with a horse. And called her Vaenga! As they say, "do not part with your loved ones" ...
- So you are still not strangers to each other?
Our relationship is so complicated that in a nutshell it will not work. How many invented about us!
And explain why I took it. But if it does not help, you will have to use weapons. Or put it on the table and say: "You are not worthy of me to hit you." They say that I am an iron lady with a tough character. I am also called a militant Christian. Indeed, I am very harsh and uncompromising in matters of faith, homeland, parents and family traditional foundations of my nationality. Perhaps, in my character, the qualities that are usually characteristic of men prevail. It's all about dad's upbringing. My childhood passed on a clear schedule. This is something for the girl! I can’t even imagine my son in this situation now. Time was distributed in minutes, the schedule lay on a table under glass. At six in the morning, climb, jog in any weather, upon return - shower, breakfast, school, lunch, cleaning, lessons, musician, artist or skiing.
Only during the illness I could sit back, but otherwise my “I don't want” or “I can't” didn't bother anyone. Penalized? Vacuum the apartment or wash the dishes out of turn. In something different? Well done, then you will not vacuum and do dishes out of turn. Yes, it looks like an army, but I am very grateful to dad for his harsh upbringing. Vanya’s parents are not happy with this, but, on the other hand, he is still a year and a half old. My mother, a very religious person, takes her grandson to church, takes communion. While the baby does not understand how to be baptized, he looks at his grandmother and also carefully touches his forehead and shoulders with his finger. Grandma kisses the icon, and he reaches out. It is very sad that I myself do not have enough time for this, but what if I am the only breadwinner? And I was lucky, but imagine how it feels for women who single-handedly pick up three, plow in four shifts at the factory?
Everyone wants to be aristocrats with billions in their accounts, so that mom and dad are constantly at home, and 25 children are fed, dressed and learned. But in my situation it remains either to shed tears or to work for days! Therefore, I do not dare to take the baby from the orphanage, although such thoughts are often visited. But to adopt a child and push him to grandparents - what is it? First, the current situation needs to be improved.
“By the way, why is there no nursery in your apartment?”
Because the son lives with his grandparents. Vanya has a great room there. He knows the new housing as the “mother’s office”. It was the same in my childhood. When dad - still in Vyuzhny - started to do business, he practically moved to a neighboring apartment.
And through the balcony I went home for lunch, then returned back to my “office” and worked. Apparently, children repeat their parents. But I hope that when Ivan grows up a bit, he will live with me. And now my son is generally in Cyprus, where I sent him to spend the winter with my parents. You know, I discovered that Cyprus is an island of Russians. Because there are many of our women with prams: mothers, grandmothers, sisters, governesses. There is an opinion that to go to Cyprus for the winter is terribly expensive, but it is not. Even now, a joke appeared on the Internet: she considered how much it costs to dress a child for the winter, and decided that it would be cheaper to send him to Thailand. I know that a lot of people rent their apartment in Moscow or St. Petersburg and rent a house in warm countries with this money, and they still have a living.
Of course, I was worried: how so, Vanya is far away, in another country, without a mother. She reproached herself, even cried at night the first time. But at the end of December I came to visit them: my mother and I went swimming in the sea, and my son sat on the beach in swimming trunks and sorted out stones. And I felt relieved from my heart, because such conditions cannot be compared with winter Petersburg! “You, son, swim further with your grandparents, and your mother flew to Novosibirsk to work hard!” I said goodbye to him.
- Can’t I take a child on tour with me?
Sometimes it turns out. Soon I will go on tour to Israel, so Vanya and parents will go with me. But mainly until spring they will stay in Cyprus, visiting my friend Inna.
She settled there with her family for a long time and this year invited my parents and Vanechka to stay with her. Grandparents do not go a step away from Vanya, strictly monitor the diet and sleep patterns. My dad cooks soups for his grandson: potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, and sometimes fish. And no concentrates or canned food! I am immensely grateful to him, because he, like my mother, literally disappeared in Van. Of course, my father wants to relax, go to a cafe or just have a beer on the beach to drink, but he doesn’t allow himself that. I fly in: “Dad, mom, let's go to the restaurant in the evening!” And to me in reply: “In no case, Vanya should go to bed at exactly one o'clock, and before that there’s still a lot of work.” Before the end, the child can even stand on his head, but in bed - exactly on schedule. And I’m not even trying to somehow break this system, because so far my son has only two bosses - grandparents who mess with him, play, feed, read fairy tales, sing lullabies.
Especially - the grandmother. We must hear the son utter: "Baba." Not “mom”, not “dad”, not “grandfather”, it is grandmother - the most important person for him. They cannot live without each other, even Vanya prefers to sleep not in mine, but in the granny's room. Although she repeats to him every day: “Vanya, mom and dad love you very much, and only they are the most important people in life!”
- And you yourself did not want to stay with your son at sea?
I would be glad to spend the whole winter with my family by the sea, but the work does not let go. I came to them before the New Year to celebrate Christmas together - December 25, as is customary in Cyprus. They brought excellent gifts to everyone: bedding from Ivanovo, butter from Vologda, and also a whole suitcase of Christmas decorations.
I love to decorate a Christmas tree, lively, fluffy ... There are a lot of Christmas tree bazaars in the city, and merchants, not having time to sell all the trees, often just throw away the excess ones. And my heart bleeds from such barbarism! Collected abandoned Christmas trees and handed out to everyone. She stuck to her driver: “Have you put a Christmas tree? How so, artificial ?! Here you are, dress up for a child! ” What can I say about how I broke up for the first Christmas tree in Vanina's life. I collected twenty handmade wooden dolls in national costumes, also Baba Yaga, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden. I searched for these jewelry throughout Russia: in Ivanovo, and in Pereslavl-Zalessky, and in Kostroma, and they cost quite inexpensively, on average 200 rubles apiece. And at the Cyprus Christmas market, I bought him the red-nosed deer Rudolph - the main Santa Claus in harness.
I wanted to buy a bunch of gifts, but the rest was not enough money. The fact is that I went to the market with a credit card, and there they accept only cash, which I have - four euros. I want mulled wine to try, buy something, I hold out my card everywhere, and sellers just shake their heads. I go to the horror room, asking how much it costs. They say to me: “Four euros. In cash. ” Sorry, I say it is too expensive for me. And left. Then I told my friends, we laughed so much! I survived, four euros is expensive for me ... Finally I got to the ranks with toys, and among them was Rudolph. The fawn turned out to be heavy, because its paws are full of sand and weigh 1.5 pounds, but I liked it tremendously. With almost no hope I am holding out my card, and the seller nods in agreement: “Come on!”
So she left the fair without mulled wine, but with Rudolph. In the evening I put a toy under the door of Vanina’s room, in the morning I wake up and hear: tsok-tsok-tsok throughout the house. The son found a gift and drags it along with him by drag, paws are beating on the floor. Now they are inseparable with a deer.
- And you, therefore, returned to workdays ...
From Cyprus I flew right away to Novosibirsk for a concert, then home, to St. Petersburg, to get ready for the New Year. I was going to celebrate the holiday with my beloved grandmother - Nadezhda Georgievna, widow of Rear Admiral of the Northern Fleet. Like every wife of an officer, she went after him throughout the Soviet Union. She said: “Lena, in the Baltic we lived in a wooden house.
There is a cradle on the floor in which your mother sniffles, and I'm afraid to put my foot down from the bed, because there the rats run. But they can get into the crib! ” To this day, going with me to a restaurant, my grandmother winds up curlers for the night, and without lipstick she doesn’t even go to the store. This is our difference: she is a real lady, but I can’t say that about myself. My grandmother constantly teaches me, then my mother: “Get your hair done!” You can’t walk so shaggy! ” Another grandmother is a winemaker with experience, and she will not refuse good wine even at her 88 years old. So, I really wanted to sit with New Grandmother on New Year's Eve, because this is especially important for her. Even in Cyprus, I made a wish to the local Santa Claus: “Dear, make sure that I sit at home with my Nadezhda Georgievna under the chiming clock!” Then she told this story in the program “Evening Urgant”, and Vanya jokingly addressed the audience: “Don’t invite Vaenga to your corporate parties!”
No, they still called and offered a concert, and very far from St. Petersburg. It would seem, refuse and stay at home! But parents and grandmother herself did not allow it. Dad, a man of the old school, strictly scolded me: “It seems that you didn’t live badly!” I forgot how it is when there is no tour and are not invited to concerts? And now you're popular, so you can buck? Like, I don’t want to sing, I want Olivier and Christmas tree? You provide a family, so, my dear, got up and went to work! ” And the grandmother added: “Lena, together we can sit on the first day. At 88, I no longer need your olivier and champagne at midnight! ” I almost whimpered at the airport! The customs officer, checking my passport, smiled: "You are lucky, this year there are very few artists working for the holidays." And I almost begged: “Don’t let me go, leave me at home!”
But in the end, I'm glad I went to that concert, because the stage is always good, I’m doing what I love. Yes, and I returned already on January 1 at ten in the morning and immediately went shopping with my director. I looked at the prices and admitted: yes, it’s good that I worked.
- How important is money to you?
Do not think that money is the main thing and for the sake of them I will give up everything. I just knew from childhood what such a “necessary” is. “Whether I want to or not,” explained mom and dad, “you will tell your husband when you get married.” In the meantime, you only have responsibilities. ”
- And how do you relax?
I love to watch horror movies. This is absolutely my genre! But I endure melodramas with difficulty. A touching ending - and my eyes are in a wet place. Maybe this is because I'm trying to try on these stories somehow on myself? After all, my personal life is complicated, very complicated, and popularity has played a cruel joke with me. Recently I had dinner with a man in a restaurant, so five people came up for autographs, and some woman took me all night on the phone because of a nearby table. Naturally, after that my friend said: “I will not go anywhere with you, this is crazy!” Thank you, stranger, for a broken relationship!
- You are not one of those artists who are willing to sign autographs?
I will never refuse an autograph to people on the street, in the store, but why bother at dinner when the girl is alone with the boyfriend?
I myself will not even approach familiar people in such a situation. For example, I have known Maxim Galkin for a long time, but I will not rush to him shouting “Hello!” When he is busy with other things. Another thing is Alexander Rosenbaum: we have been friends for so long that Alexander Yakovlevich will also threaten me with his fist if I do not say hello. But people have a different logic: Vaenga is having dinner with a man - this is certainly either a lover or the father of her son, you need to take a closer look and write on the Internet. Previously, such rumors and interference in my personal life upset me, angered me, but now I have become more tolerant. I’ll wait a long time before throwing myself into a fight. The other day I had a big fight with a friend who had climbed into my personal life in the most unscrupulous way for three years. Retrieved details, gave advice on and without.
I fastened, fastened, but finally I told her everything on the phone. And as expressed! Those who were nearby turned pale, and a friend barely squealed: "Lena, I'm afraid of you ..." So do not bring me! I’m not afraid to tell people the truth in person, to cut the shoulders, although after the birth of my son I became more diplomatic, even more hypocritical. I am silent, instead of yelling, I smile when I want to rush with my fists. Because the maternal instinct suggests that in this way it is better to protect your child.
- To be honest, it’s hard to imagine you restrained and diplomatic ...
Yes, I am a noisy, energetic, charismatic person, emotionally unstable. (Laughs.) No wonder my friends called me Lenenergo.
One person told me: my main problem is that I'm used to it - the world revolves around me. Yes, this is probably bad quality! It happens that at three in the morning I call: “We’ve visited the site’s photo”. And for some reason, no one will ever answer: “Elena Vladimirovna, look at your watch, please.” Then morning will come - then I will do it. ” No, everyone suffers me. Although, if they answered like that, I would immediately apologize and hang up. At the same time, everyone knows that I can also call at three in the morning and say: “Lena, I have a problem” - and I immediately rush to help. I don't care, night is now or day. If a person calls, then it is necessary. That's why no one is probably refusing me either ...
Many of those whom we are accustomed to seeing on the TV screen or on stage have made a lot of efforts to become the center of universal attention. And one of such purposeful individuals who managed to achieve fame and recognition was Elena Vaenga.
Her stage name is known not only to the domestic audience, but also abroad. Strong, beautiful and incredibly talented, from childhood she impressed with her abilities parents and other people from her environment. This bright and eccentric performer of the modern stage can be treated differently, but Elena’s work does not leave indifferent most of the public, touches for the living, provokes emotions.
Therefore, the biography of Elena Vaenga, in particular her work and personal life, cause great interest in her person. It was to her, who got to the top of the stellar musical Olympus, we decided to devote today's article.
Charismatic singer childhood
The singer’s star, whose fame came from the repertoire in the chanson genre, lit up very early. Her acting and singing talent showed up when little Lena was about three years old. The baby then was just beginning to master dancing and playing the piano, which was given to her quite easily.
Elena Vaenga was born in Severomorsk in the winter of 1977 (the exact date of birth is 01/27/1977). But now we know the singer under a pseudonym, and at birth the girl received the name of her father. Thus, the real name of the famous chanson singer is Elena Vladimirovna Khruleva. Her nationality is Russian.
In the family, besides Elena, there were two more children: the eldest daughter Inna (on her father's half-sister Elena) and the youngest - Tatyana. Parents raised all girls in severity and from childhood tried to instill in them the habit of order and discipline. Therefore, the little girls had practically no time to do nothing - their every day was scheduled literally by the minute, began with morning exercises and necessarily included extra-curricular activities and household chores.
First steps to fame
Already at the age of three, Elena Vaenga, whose biography and personal life is presented here, began to engage in dancing and could repeat any melody played by her dad on the piano, thereby demonstrating perfect hearing. And at the age of nine, Lenochka had already written the text of her first song. It was then that the parents decided to seriously engage in the development of their daughter's creative talent and enrolled her in a music school.
But the promising and talented singer Elena Vaenga did not succeed in entering the institute the first time due to the lack of a secondary school certificate. Therefore, instead of high school, the girl was forced to go back to school to finish her last class. Then she applied for the piano department of the Rimsky-Korsakov School of Music in St. Petersburg, where she graduated with a diploma from a teacher and accompanist.
After completing her studies, Elena began to teach at a music school, while simultaneously studying vocals. But on this Elena Vaenga, the latest news from whose life is now constantly being covered in the media, decided not to stop. Soon Elena Vladimirovna, at that moment already a married woman, applied to the Theater Academy in St. Petersburg, successfully entered there, but studied for only two months.
The fact is that the girl preferred her career as a singer to her childhood dream of becoming an actress, because one of the well-known metropolitan producers became interested in Elena's composer experiences and invited her to Moscow. So, after two months of training at the Theater Academy in St. Petersburg, Elena Vaenga, the future owner of the Golden Gramophone, leaves for the recording of her first album.
The bitter experience and taste of victory
However, having no experience in show business, Vaenga entered into a very disadvantageous contract. Producer Stepan Razin, who called our heroine to the capital, of course, helped Elena record the first album. But his demands turned out to be overwhelming for the beginning pop star, who first appeared behind the scenes of the music industry. She ran away from her producer and returned to Peter.
This turn was very unexpected for Elena Vaenga. She did not want to prove her authorship through the court, but was very disappointed in show business and even decided that this sphere of creativity was not for her. But the music beckoned to Elena, which was noticed daily by the spouse of our heroine. He persuaded a promising performer to try again on the music scene.
So, in 2003, thanks to the incredible efforts of Elena Khruleva and the powerful support of her husband, the collection of compositions “Portrait” was released. On the eve of his release, the girl decides to take a creative pseudonym, and therefore on the new disc was indicated not the real name of Elena - Khruleva, but the pseudonym - Vaenga. The performer, on the advice of her mother, decided to use the name of the Vaenga river, which flows near the hometown of the heroine of our story, as a stage name.
The record attracted the attention of the musical public of Peter, but did not go outside the city on the Neva. Despite this, the promising performer was noticed by the organizers of concert tours and festivals, who began to invite singer Elena Vaengu to participate in musical events, and news from the world of show business increasingly began to repeat her name.
This disk was more successful. Vaenga first fans appeared, her songs began to occupy high places in the charts. Megapopularity came to Elena Khruleva in 2011, after the release of the compilation of the performer in DVD format, although before that, the discography of the Russian celebrity was replenished four times with new albums (in 2006, twice in 2007 and even in 2008). In addition, five clips were shot - the pop star stopped at this amount, because she did not favor such a format for presenting her musical creativity.
In total, the discography of the popular pop singer Elena Vaenga contains 10 collections with her author's compositions. Their list, as well as release dates, can be found on the Wikipedia page. Currently, the pop star continues to create and delight his fans with new programs, touring in Russia and abroad.
Under the gun: privacy
The press tirelessly discusses the creative activities of Elena Vaenga, as well as her personal life. And she, by the way, began to develop successfully for the heroine of our article back in 1995, when eighteen-year-old student Elena met her future husband (civilian) - Ivan Matvienko.
However, Elena Vaenga, whose children did not appear in this union in any way, at one point considered her long-lasting affair with Matvienko to be a futile relationship. And so the famous performer decided to leave her spouse. This event gave rise to a lot of gossip around our heroine. And since there were no comments on this subject, the personal life of Elena Vaenga was under the gun of the paparazzi.
The singer began to be credited with numerous novels with different men. One of them was in 2012, Mikhail Blinov, a childhood friend and personal driver of the star. But even the ex-husband of Elena Vaenga, Matvienko, denied these rumors. Later, after about 2 years, Elena Vaenga and Mikhail Bublik performed in the New Year "spark" together, performing an impromptu song "What have we done." After the appearance of this duo, many considered them a couple.
In the summer of 2012, Elena Vaenga gave birth to a son. The boy, who was born on August 10, 2012 in one of the St. Petersburg maternity hospitals, received the original Russian name Ivan. But the wedding of Elena Vaenga, with all the honors and the official part, took place only four years later - in September 2016.
The current husband of the famous pop singer Vaenga is touring with his wife, while Elena’s parents are raising their son. The singer is trying to arrange a joint annual vacation for the whole family in Cyprus. Sometimes Elena Vaenga, her son and beloved husband Roman Sadyrbaev travel with the whole family on concert tours.
In the past few years, Elena Vaenga has been in excellent physical shape. Before the wedding, she lost a lot of weight, which caused a storm of enthusiastic emotions from her fans. Despite her age (this year the singer celebrated her 41st birthday), Vaenga looks just great. Author: Elena Suvorova
Svetlana Tkalich
Svetlana Tkalich wrote a review for Elena Vaenga
Opinion of an independent viewer: Elena Vaenga is original indifference to the standard of a pop pop star. It has (still remains, pulsating) a genotype - a synthesis of personal song, folklore and "pop publicity". It’s good when the pop module forms on its own. This is a phenomenon of natural creative appeal. How long she will hold out on this ledge of a conflicting stage - no one knows. But I would like to listen to her. After her songs there remains a melody and a call for dialogue. I take it that way.
Regarding stage costumes: it is very difficult to find a real stylist with knowledge of the heritage codes and an understanding of the balance of details and the image itself. You can fall under his influence and draped with tinsel "a la" and "erato". Let it be as it is - she also thinks about it. Do not bother her. The artist’s unique mono-theater is born gradually if it is not paid.
After her songs, a melody and a call for dialogue remain in her memory.

Let Elena remain the way she first appeared on the big stage, fell in love with our audience, loved the look and her songs. She has her own personality and we accept her as she is. Let all those external tinsel, exalted outfits be handled by those withering pop divas whom we invariably see on the stage and whose repertoire is pretty fed up.

Elena Vaenga is a talented, unique and unmatched beauty: with such a cute weirdo, unpredictable and unusual: both in songs, in dresses, and in statements! She doesn’t need any stylists, she can and will listen to them, but still she will do everything in her own way, in a Aquarian way! And rightly so!

Nadezhda Krivozubova wrote a review to Elena Vaenga
vaenga is dirty, dirty we have enough in life, the scene is not for that! And she sings voicelessly, as the heart and soul say. We need a great career and a great appearance, for example, Polina Gagarina. And to look and listen is a pleasure, and to look at a little sucker and even without a voice, so to speak empathy, is for the treatment of nerno and psycho patients, a criterion of medical practice

Lyubov Timofeeva wrote a review to Elena Vaenga
I think that Vaenga should not complicate the matter with heavy and deliberately tasteless outfits, let her image still remain light, simple and clear. First, creativity and work, then an outfit, not the most tasteless, but a fresh and individual image of a new Russian star (I have long needed a fresh sip - thanks to her for opening a new line). All this goes very well for her and she is understandable and predictable. Let this working image not affect life and become the only incarnation of a woman on earth. We are different and different outfits emphasizing the essence and beauty of a Russian woman, but the most important is who we are, what we bring and what is the point of our creativity, work and life, how we see the future and what we take into it, most likely not a dress, but peace and beauty , kindness and love, creativity and creativity, wonderful people and wonderful events. Everything will continue and everything will be unique and beautiful, each will carry its own charm and personality. Vaenga appeared on the stage, I wish her many long and creative years in this field and happiness in life.

Biography
Not everyone knows that Vaenga is the pseudonym of Elena Khruleva, invented by her mother for the star. So until the mid-twentieth century the hometown of the singer Severomorsk was called.
Elena was born on January 27, 1977 in the family of a mother chemist and father engineer. The specifics of living in Severomorsk affected the family of the future star: her parents were employees for a long time at the secret Nerpa plant, specializing in nuclear submarines.
Elena Vaenga in childhoodElena is not the only child in the family. The younger sister Tatyana works in the field of international relations, speaks several languages \u200b\u200band builds a diplomatic career.
From childhood, Elena showed incredible perseverance and hard work: the girl studied at three schools at once and has diplomas in music, art and ski education. After graduation, the young girl moved to the Northern capital and entered the music school named after Rimsky-Korsakov. In parallel with training, Elena began to study vocals.
Elena Vaenga in his youth Adolescence
Despite the fact that Vaenga began to write songs at the age of nine, she did not immediately come to the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing a singer. As a child, she dreamed of being an actress, therefore, after receiving a musical education in piano, Elena became a student of the Theater Academy.
But Elena was looking for a vocation to sing herself - the girl had to leave a new place of education because of an important call from Moscow. She was invited to record her first studio album ...
Elena Vaenga in a recording studio However, in the capital, everything was not so rosy. The album was really recorded, but he was not destined to leave. In addition, the difficult relationship with the producer and the cold backstage of show business brought a lot of trouble. From stellar intrigues Vaenga fled back to St. Petersburg.
To a considerable surprise, her songs soon began to be heard all over the country - for example, Tatyana Tishinskaya sang “Mom, what are you crying” and a number of other compositions by Vaenga. It turned out that the former producer without the consent of Elena began to record the songs of her composition with other stars.
Singer Elena Vaenga But the biography of Elena Vaenga would not be so bright if the troubles could break her: without being distracted, neither by the device of her personal life, nor by scandals, she continued to go to her goal.
Soon she became a student of the Baltic Institute of Economics, Politics and Law, but Elena was not going to get diplomatic knowledge - she joined the Department of Theater Arts.
Having become a certified specialist in "dramatic art", Vaenga began to participate in performances, including entreprise ones.
Photoshoot Elena Vaenga Career
Great success did not come to Elena immediately. Participating in concerts and festivals since 19 years, Vaenga remained unrecognized by a large audience. Even when the future star began giving solo concerts and touring Russian cities, it was impossible to call it wildly popular.
Everything changed when Vaenga released the album “White Bird” (2005). Millions of listeners began to recognize and fell in love with her songs: “Taiga”, “I Wish”, “Airport”.
This was a turning point in the biography of Elena Vaenga: fans during the interruption became interested in the details of her personal life and wondered if the ascended star had a husband and children.
Vaenga's first album - “White Bird” (2005) In 2009, the song “I smoke” brought Vaenga her first big award - the Golden Gramophone prize, and a year later the singer received the award again - already for her performance of the Airport. The composition "Absinthe" allowed Vaenga to take a place among the winners of the largest festival "Song of the Year".
The first solo concert, which could be considered truly large, took place only in 2010, when the name of the singer has already become a sign of quality, and many fans have loved her songs. Vaenga performed in the Kremlin Palace. On Christmas of the next year, the concert recording was shown on Channel One.
Elena Vaenga - concert in the Kremlin Palace Personal life
The more popular Elena Vaenga becomes, the more interesting it is to study her biography: unfortunately, the singer does not talk much about her personal life, and because of her secrecy, her husband and children rarely appear on the photo of the star.
However, it is no secret that Vaenga has long loved a man much older than herself. Parents of young Elena did not like that her chosen one was already married (and his own daughter is two years older than Vaenga herself!).
Elena and her common-law husband However, no prohibitions could stop this love, and as soon as the girl was 18 years old, she went to live with her lover - common-law husband Ivan Matvienko. Subsequently, Ivan Ivanovich even became the producer of the singer - the very one who would not deceive and betray.
Elena has repeatedly noted that her lover played a huge role in her life, and it was his support and help that helped her to shine on the domestic stage.
Elena Vaenga and Ivan Matvienko Living in the nineties was not easy. Ivan Matvienko earned as much as he could: now Elena recalls with a smile how he drove cars from Europe in order to raise money for new costumes and rent a recording studio.
Having lived in a happy civil marriage for seventeen years, the couple broke up, remaining on friendly terms. Elena Vaenga tried to hide her new hobby as she could: the singer can not stand it when private photos and intimate details of her biography leak into the network, especially when it comes to personal life, her husband or children.
Wedding of Helen and Roman Nevertheless, it was not possible to hide the gorgeous wedding that Elena and her chosen one Roman Sadyrbaev played in 2016. During the celebration, Vaenga changed her outfits more than once, and in each she was irresistible.

Biography of Elena Vaenga
The biography of Elena Vaenga was quite complicated. From childhood, Elena’s day was scheduled by the minute: in addition to the main school, she attended music and ski schools.
At the age of nine, the girl wrote her first song, and later managed to play a piece of music on the piano from her father's memory. Her father - Vladimir Khrulev and mother - worked together at the plant, which was engaged in the repair of nuclear submarines. The family still brought up the younger sister Tatyana and half-sister Nina - a daughter from Vladimir’s first marriage.
After graduation, the girl travels to St. Petersburg, to fulfill her dream - to become an actress. At first there was a music school, then a theater academy, from which she leaves in order to record her first album in Moscow. Under the pseudonym Nina, Elena recorded a clip, but he was never shown on television.
The young singer signed a contract under which she had practically no voting right - everything was decided by her producer Stepan Razin. Having got his first bitter experience in show business, Vaenga escapes back to St. Petersburg. Razin, taking advantage of the situation, distributed her songs among other artists, who later became hits.
In 2000, Elena graduated from Velyaminov's courses in the specialty “Dramatic Art”, later playing in the play “Free Couple”.
Thanks to Ivan Matvienko, who for a long time became the producer of the artist, in 2003 she released her first solo album, entitled “Portrait”. People's artist began to notice and invite to various performances and competitions.
Two years later, another album is recorded and released, many songs from which instantly become hits. The popularity of the singer is growing every day, she began to be called the "Queen of Chanson."
Three times Vaenga’s songs were awarded the Golden Gramophone Award; for five consecutive years she won first place in the singer of the year contest, which hosted the Chanson of the Year. She began to give concerts abroad, often visited Germany and Israel, where there were also many fans of the artist.
In the work of Elena there was a forced break due to the damaged ligaments of the poetess. Vaenga took part in the festival "Slavic Bazaar", was a member of the jury in a popular music show.
Three years ago, the singer recorded another album and performed with a solo program in the Kremlin.
Personal life of Elena Vaeng
The personal life of Elena Vaenga did not always develop as the singer would like. However, she is still grateful to her first, civil husband - Ivan Matvienko. For sixteen years, he was not only her beloved person, but also a person who managed to make Elena a famous artist and singer not only in Russia but also abroad. At one time, there were even rumors that the girl was a gypsy, so well she knew the gypsy language, dances and their customs. In honor of her ex-husband, she named her son Ivan.
At the moment, Elena is a happy wife and mother. Together with their spouse, they devote a lot of time to work. The singer, smiling sweetly, always laughs off annoying journalists who are trying to find out the details of the artist’s personal life.
Family of Elena Vaenga
Today, the family of Elena Vaenga is her parents, husband and beloved son Ivan. Most of the time, his grandparents are engaged in raising a child, because of the busy concert schedule, the singer is rarely at home. Elena is very grateful to them for the attention and care they show to her and her son. In gratitude, every winter, a loving daughter and mother sends her relatives to her friend on the warm peninsula of Cyprus - to relax and improve.
Elena Vaenga, as a deeply religious person, is grateful to God that he gave her a son and made it possible to experience all the joys of motherhood. In her youth, she worked for some time as a piano music teacher at school, and working with children was easy and interesting.
Children of Elena Vaenga
The children of Elena Vaenga - probably, can be considered as plans for the future, because now she is raising her only son, Vanechka. The actress gave birth to a child when she was thirty-four years old. Pregnancy and childbirth caused a wave of gossip, and there are many rumors among journalists and fans of Elena. And the thing is that at first no one could say for sure who the boy’s real father was: a former common-law husband or another man. Doubts were dispelled by the celebrity, having declared that her colleague at work is the biological father.
Elena Vladimirovna adores her child and, in order to stay with him for a longer time, quite often takes him with him on tour. So Vanya from childhood gets used to the backstage life.
Former common-law husband of Elena Vaenga - Ivan Ivanovich Matvienko
The former civil husband of Elena Vaenga - Ivan Ivanovich Matvienko - is twenty years older than his chosen one. Their acquaintance happened when the girl was only eighteen years old. Despite such a big difference in age, they had a violent romance that lasted sixteen years. Lena's parents were categorically against this relationship: they were horrified by the age of the chosen one's daughter, and also the fact that he was gypsy. However, Vaenga showed firmness of character and, having quarreled with her relatives, she went to live with Matvienko. Was Elena the reason for the divorce of Ivan with his first wife, by the way, their joint daughter two years older than Vaenga is not known for certain.
Despite all the hardships of life, Ivan and Elena were happy together. The husband turned out to be a caring, sensitive and exemplary family man. In those difficult times, he did everything possible to feed his family, pay for their rented accommodation and so that his beloved wife had the opportunity to pursue her career. Ivan made money by transporting cars from Germany.
The yellow press has repeatedly "bred" a married couple, the poetess has always reacted negatively to such publications. As a result, in 2012, Matvienko himself declared that their family union had broken up.
Until then, Ivan and Elena maintain friendly relations, even live on the same landing and go, sometimes drinking tea with each other.
Husband of Elena Vaenga - Roman Sadyrbaev
Elena Vaenga's husband, Roman Sadyrbaev, is six years younger than his wife. The young man was born and raised in Krasnodar, in a family of musicians. He moved to St. Petersburg to continue his studies at the university. As a student, she begins to work in the team of Svetlana Surgaeva. Since Roman is not just a drummer, but a musician who knows how to play various musical instruments, his producer lures him into the Vaenga team.
For a long time, no one in the band even suspected any relationship between the singer and the drummer. At rehearsals and concerts, they behaved, as usual, without showing signs of attention to each other. On tour, they rented individual numbers, did not appear together in public. Elena hid her pregnancy to the last, performing with concerts in different cities. Even having given birth to a child, she did not voice her father’s real name, so journalists and fans were sure that he was Matvienko.
Vaenga's colleagues began to guess what was happening, but did not spread about it. Fans of the poet's work learned the whole truth much later.
Elena and Roman, after the birth of the firstborn, immediately began to live together, but, again, without advertising it. Officially, the couple legalized their relationship only four years later, after the birth of the baby - in 2016.
At first, the spouses were helped by Roman’s mother - she sat with her grandson with pleasure, and then Elena’s parents joined in.
Photo by Elena Vaenga in Maxim magazine
Many fans of the singer’s work are sure that they will never see a photo of Elena Vaenga in Maxim’s magazine - however much they would like to. Elena Vladimirovna is a believer, therefore, to star in a magazine that was originally intended for a male audience, and even so that a naked woman is not about a great poetess.
In 2012, the singer of the chanson reacted positively to the decision to open a lawsuit against the group that sang the song “Virgin, Drive Putin away” in the church, believing that this act offends the feelings of Christians. Seeing such a reaction, we can assume that the frank photos of the honored artist will never appear on social networks or in glossy magazines.
Elena Vaenga generally does not really like to talk about her backstage life, shares family photos. Consequently, even if there are photos where she is in a swimsuit, it is only in the home album for the closest people.
Instagram and Wikipedia Elena Vaenga
Initially, the Instagram and Wikipedia of Elena Vaenga are officially registered pages on the Internet. Wikipedia contains the basic facts from the artist’s life, and Instagram contains more extensive information. But even there, do not expect to find a million pictures of Elena with her family, and even more so with the child, a maximum of a couple of three photos.
Before completely deleting the account from the social network, the artist pleased her subscribers with a picture where she had a short haircut and lost a couple of kilograms. Elena argued her decision by the fact that she wants to answer all the messages and questions of the fans, but she just does not have time to do it physically. Therefore, in order not to offend anyone, I simply deleted my page. You can find out about upcoming concerts, recording new albums or just look at the singer’s photos from performances on her official website.
