Singer Shura showed modern Novosibirsk and its “opera cinema”

Biography of singer Shura

Alexander was born on May 20, 1975 in Novosibirsk. All his adult life, the singer dreamed of a father, because he did not know his own father. Svetlana's mother had a husband. Stepfather Nikolai did not babysit little Sasha. Soon the couple separated. The future artist did not have a good relationship with his mother. He was transferred to a shelter. But he didn’t spend much time there - his grandmother Galina took pity on him. She took Sasha in for upbringing when the boy was 9 years old.

Alexander Medvedev Shura in his youth

Grandmother worked at the Rus restaurant in Novosibirsk. After school, Shura sang songs on the small stage of the establishment. Vocals were difficult for him due to the incorrect position of his teeth in his mouth, but the boy still continued to try. Then he realized that a flaw could be turned into a feature. Alexander presented burr as a unique feature of extravagant performance. The specific appearance also played into his hands: a strange figure, facial expressions, lack of front teeth.

He did not finish school; he completed only seven classes. I tried my hand at floristic art and earned a master's diploma in making traditional Japanese ikebana. After some time, producers became interested in him, who saw him as an outlandish performer.

Popularity came to the Russian singer quite quickly - in 1990. The mannerism and non-standard genre of performance played into the hands. The bored public became interested in watching how the “strange” talent manifested itself. At his first concerts, Shura wore extravagant outfits that emphasized his extreme thinness.

In his youth, Shura performed in extravagant costumes

After some time, his compositions “Cold Moon”, “Do Good”, “Don’t Believe Tears” began to degenerate into multiple parodies. Despite the ridicule of others, he continued to develop his creativity further. Alexander Medvedev tried himself on the set of the film “8 1/8 Dollars”, in which he performed his own compositions.

When fame came to the artist, it turned out that he was a drug addict. Doctors diagnosed cancer. Long-term treatment began with chemotherapy and surgeries in the best clinics in Switzerland and the Russian Federation. Five years later, the singer was able to defeat cancer, restore his health and return to the public renewed. Now he performs with ceramic teeth inserted, a little plumper and prettier.

Singer Shura was evicted from his apartment by his relatives

The Kalininsky court of Novosibirsk on Wednesday deprived the singer Shura (Alexander Medvedev) of the right to use an apartment in Novosibirsk at the suit of his mother and brother, reports the department of the judicial department in the Novosibirsk region.

The lawsuit was filed by Svetlana Medvedeva and Mikhail Dudchenko in early 2013 and was justified by the fact that Shura has been living in Moscow for a long time, where she has several apartments and offices, and therefore does not need housing in Novosibirsk.

The plaintiffs and defendant were not present at the hearing, and therefore the court made a decision in their absence, a court representative told RIA Novosti.

According to the singer’s PR director, during Shura’s tour in Novosibirsk there was a reconciliation with his mother, who promised to withdraw the lawsuit from the court. However, this was not done, and the court evicted the artist from the apartment.

Apartment in Moscow

The pop singer purchased an apartment in the center of Moscow for six million rubles in 2003. But since at that time the artist was struggling with his main illness - drug addiction, he played it safe and transferred the housing to another person. The court, in turn, rejected Alexander’s claim and deprived him of the opportunity to return his living space.

The interior of the singer's apartment

The popular singer lived in the Moscow apartment for quite a long time and was not going to give it away to anyone for free. But it so happened that when copying the documents, the fraudster indicated other initials, but the owner’s signature was real.

Shura is trying to find the person for whom he changed the documents - the fraudster to whom he gave the apartment for debts. The new owners gave Shura two months to leave the premises. The artist plans to take out a mortgage and live a new life. He often admitted in interviews with journalists: “I am a homeless person at 43! And it’s very difficult.”

In the television show “Hello, Andrey!” Shura spoke about the latest news and details about the incident with the apartment. A construction company called “Stolitsa” transferred the living space of the popular musician to employee Murad Arabov. The company took advantage of the famous pop singer’s legal ignorance and awarded the right to housing to a complete stranger who is not a relative or friend of Alexander Medvedev. The fraud became possible because company employees knew about his problems with drug addiction.

Singer Shura: I started as a homeless person, and I continue to do so!

For several months now, singer Shura has been in a difficult situation. The artist lost his only home. He purchased an apartment in Moscow 15 years ago. But even in a nightmare he could not imagine that the day would come when strangers would come to him and assure him that the living space now belonged to them. Shura told our correspondents about all the twists and turns of this tragic story in an exclusive interview.

“In 2002, I decided to buy myself an apartment,” says the 43-year-old singer. — I came to the company, whose employees I was friends with at that time. They offered me to enter into a contract with CJSC Gradostroy. So, “Stolitsa” found an apartment for me, and I paid “Gradostroi” 30 thousand dollars as a down payment. The housing was sold to me at cost - around $900 per square meter. At that time the dollar exchange rate was about 28 rubles. It turns out that the apartment cost 95 thousand dollars. But at that time I was still a drug addict, and for me it was a lot of money. The trouble is that I was not legally savvy, I didn’t read any papers, I was busy with my career. I had no time to delve into everything. I just regularly carried money to the company. I still had a debt of 25 thousand, but they told me that I could move into the apartment, make repairs there and live. We agreed that I would either work off this money through barter for my concerts, or pay it in later. That's exactly what I did. I drove into concrete walls and made repairs that cost me more than three million rubles. He lived in peace, paying all utilities.

For all these years, the singer could not have imagined that the company, it turns out, had not registered the apartment in his name.

“And here comes my birthday this year,” the public favorite sighs sadly. — Three days after it, I go out into the street to buy some water. And at the entrance there are two handsome young men with papers for my apartment and absolutely culturedly, without any attacks, they say: “Alexander, we purchased this apartment!” It turned out that “Stolitsa” registered my housing in the name of its employee Arabov Murad Mansurovich. I’m in shock, running away from grief into the bushes to cry. I was afraid that now they would come into my apartment and immediately evict me. But thank God, the new owners and I agreed that I would rent housing from them for six months for 60 thousand rubles a month.

The new owners are already planning to put the apartment up for sale.

“I’m still afraid to even think about where I’ll go,” the artist complains. — To take out a mortgage, you need a down payment. I don't have one. Roughly speaking, this requires eight million, but my fees are not a million rubles, and I have generally refused all tours because of all these proceedings. And now I need to pay lawyers, because I want to file an application in court so that the company fulfills its obligations and provides housing to my property.

Shura assured us that he is not even dreaming of any unprecedented luxury now:

“As you know, court proceedings are very long and unpredictable. But I need to move somewhere now. “I’m used to living where it’s green, I really love my Leninsky district,” the star shares. “But here you don’t have to choose anymore.” Wherever they give it, I’ll settle there. It would be good if there were people who could give a mortgage without a down payment. Because I don’t want to rent an apartment and pay money anywhere.

Andrei Malakhov and Viktor Rybin have already offered Shura a helping hand, saying that they can give them the keys to their homes. The singer’s mother Svetlana Ivanovna, with whom he reconciled six months ago after 25 years of misunderstanding, also began to persuade her son to move to Novosibirsk with her. The artist was also inundated with letters from fans from many regions of Russia with offers to live with them.

“One woman wrote: “I live alone in a three-room apartment, come, I’ll give you two rooms,” Shura smiles. — Mostly, of course, they write not from Moscow; in the outback people are more responsive. But I won’t leave Moscow, I have work here. It’s also a shame that so many lies are now being written about my situation. They say that my apartment was taken away for debts, drugs, etc. And they wrote to my lawyer that I was doing PR for myself with this and that no apartment was taken away from me. At the moment, an interview with you is the only truthful printed source of information. In the meantime, most publications do this: I told them one word, and they will write ten more!

It is worth noting that this is not the first time that Shura has had a deplorable housing situation. At the dawn of his career, when he had just moved to Moscow, the future star had the opportunity to spend a whole week in the Botanical Garden, eating the berries growing there.

“I started out as a homeless person, and I continue to do so,” the artist says sadly. - Well, what should I do now, go live on the same bench? By the way, my first home in Moscow after the botanical garden was also on Leninsky Prospekt. I lived there with a prostitute Tanka. At that time, I had already started singing in one establishment for a bowl of soup, and I took it with me. She made money there. I also fed her Pekingese dog when Tanka was away for a long time. I remember thinking: it’s better to eat the carrots yourself or feed them to the dog.

Vacation home

The dream of an extravagant personality came true - Alexander bought a country house in the Moscow region. Like a villager, the singer arranges a space for relaxation and comfort. He really likes this lifestyle. All the time he has free from performing, he tries to be in his own big house: he works on the plot, plants potatoes, tomatoes, onions and other vegetables, plows the ground, operates a lawnmower. The artist likes to drink water only from a well and does not buy bottled water.

The popular composer of the songs “The Summer Rains Have Stopped,” “We Feel Good,” and “Balloons” plans to build his own bathhouse. The singer dreams of coming to his cozy home after many hours of concerts and relaxing in a steam bath with an oak broom.

Singer Shura showed modern Novosibirsk and its “opera cinema”

NOVOSIBIRSK, December 2, FederalPress. Russian pop singer Shura (aka Alexander Medvedev), popular and famous in the 90s of the last century, gave Instagram users a tour of Novosibirsk. A native of the Siberian capital recalled his youth and called the local Opera and Ballet Theater an “opera cinema.”

The pop singer published an 8-minute video on the social network in which he walks around his native Novosibirsk, shows the iconic buildings of the Siberian metropolis and recalls the years of his youth, when he was not yet known to the country under the pseudonym “Shura.” The excursion began from a house on the Vokzalnaya Magistral, where the famous composer Pavel Yesenin lived in his years. Now the performer’s mother lives in this building. After which Shura switched to the local Central Department Store, remembering the big fire in January 2011.

“It was rebuilt. And now it has become even better and even more expensive. And nearby there used to be trading stalls where people sold panties and socks. At that time I had a green Zhiguli, and here I was selling cassettes with Natasha Koroleva’s songs,” said the performer.

Then Alexander Medvedev moved to the building where the casino used to be located and remembered that he worked there together with Mitya Fomin (ex-frontman of the Hi-Fi group, also a native of Novosibirsk - Ed. ) as a dancer. Separately, Shura stopped at the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theater.

“Here is the third most beautiful opera cinema in the country in Russia. The first in beauty is in St. Petersburg, the second is in Kyiv, and the third is at the Opera and Ballet Theater in Novosibirsk. Inside there was a studio where I recorded hits for you such as “The Summer Rains Have Stopped” and “The Sun Is Burning,” the pop singer added.

After which Shura told the story of 1998, when he had a concert at the Sibir Ice Sports Palace. The singer was half an hour late for his own performance, but the concierge refused to let him in, explaining that she had already let two toothless people in for free. Shura spent about two hours proving that he was the performer whose concert was being delayed. Shura's entire tour of Novosibirsk can be viewed at the link.

Alexander Medvedev was very popular on the pop scene at the end of the 90s of the last century. Fans will remember him for such famous songs as “The Summer Rains Have Stopped,” “Do Good,” “Cold Moon” and “Don’t Believe Tears,” as well as his unusual lisp performance—the performer had no front teeth. He received dentures in January 2003 and dental implants in February 2020.
