Alena Sviridova: “The age difference of 19 years does not affect our relationship with my husband”

In the creative repertoire over the past decade, almost nothing has changed except the dress. Sviridova, as usual, “surprises” her viewers with proven hits: “Nobody - Never,” “Winter is Over” and “Pink Flamingo” - Alena, at one time, you very much condemned families where the spouses had a large age difference. Does this mean that real life sometimes disproves the most rigorous theories?

“I really like to reason and build schemes: this is better, and this is worse.”
And then reality overturns all my thoughts. On the one hand, I’m a very rational girl, but, thank God, I’m not afraid to do rash things. That is, there is also irrationality in me, which, ultimately, is the engine that allows me to be happy. If you had asked me four years ago if this was possible in my life, I would have firmly said: never! But now my answer is: never say never. —Where did you find your new love?
“We met three years ago on the set of the reality show “Harem” in Kenya.
I was the host of this show, and Dima starred in a small role. Previously, Dima worked at the Karin modeling agency and even won the title of best “Top Model”. Now my husband is organizing holidays, so we practically do not overlap in creativity: I create the holiday, and he organizes it! But in real life, I can’t say that the 19-year difference somehow affects our relationship. We've had a love-carrot relationship for three years now, and what's most interesting is that it's not waning. But the greatest achievement of our marriage is the birth of a child. – You already have a child from your first marriage.
Is the feeling of motherhood different at a young and mature age? — When Vasily was born, I perceived him as a younger brother.
In our family then my mother was in charge of everything - she was responsible for everything, she took care of everyone. Maybe because of this constant guardianship, I didn’t feel like an adult for a long time. And now I am fully aware of myself as a mother. Our Grisha is now two and a half years old. He is so sociable with us. We take him with us to restaurants, on visits, and sometimes he even goes to the theater with us. When last summer we sent him and my mother to Crimea for two months, it became a huge test for my husband and me. We, of course, understood that in the south there was a bright sun, a warm sea, delicious fruits, but these two months dragged on for us like two years. We are such crazy parents! — In your song there are these words: “I know too much, it’s time to kill me...” What do you know?
“I think I know men very well.”
Real women are friends with their girlfriends, and I have been with men all my life. I also have only men in my team. I have been friends with the boys since kindergarten and am their confidant. I can write books on male psychology! I am a spy in the enemy camp, as they say, a sent Cossack. – Is it easier for you to find a common language with them?
“I’m just not a woman at all when it comes to work.”
Sometimes I have such a frantic expression on my face that they say to me: you stand like in a boxing stance. And I’m just trying to cut off unnecessary things and think very specifically: find important issues and ways to solve them. Probably, at these moments I am a kind of sergeant major. It seems that I should use not only professional, but also feminine qualities. -Sophia Loren once said: “Women can manipulate men very well.
You just need to play the “fool” in time. Do you agree with her? — It’s hard to say, but sometimes it’s really very advantageous to appear like that.
I know that many men are simply not inclined to perceive me as an intelligent woman. Being a fool is actually a very enjoyable pastime. There is no need to be held responsible for your words or actions. Although in life I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m smart, now I’m trying to prove that I’m also beautiful. —Where do you find strength?
“You just need to be happy and get a good night’s sleep.”
For any woman, the main incentive is love. You know, there are fruits that ripen early, and others that ripen late. I'm late! It is even possible that the peak of my beauty will be in ten years, then I will probably fully blossom. Previously, I always thought that only a complete idiot could be happy, but after meeting Dima, I reconsidered my life priorities and now I am the happiest person in the world! — What makes you perform in nightclubs and waste your money on the audience who come to eat and not watch?
— It doesn’t annoy me at all, I don’t care where I perform.
Over so many years, I have learned to abstract myself and perceive the hall as a theatrical set. It’s stupid to think that singing in restaurants is humiliating - this is a cost of the profession, and you need to treat this with understanding. Don’t let it scare you that the audience in such establishments should be so drunk and cheeky. I know for sure that I sing my songs for people with deep creative imagination. My potential audience is not limited to the low-grade literature of comics and detective stories. The only thing that depresses me in such performances is the rudeness and tactlessness of those people who try to get up on stage with me during a performance. In such cases, I tactfully urge the public to keep their distance. — You act in films, play in the theater, write songs.
And during the entire concert they did not please us with new masterpieces. Maybe it’s better to do one thing, but good? - In fact, I have a lot of new songs, I could even release an album, but now this is not a cheap pleasure. A few days ago I wrote a new song. It seems to me that she is brilliant, but 2 weeks must pass, and then I will understand her true value. And I sing old songs because the public is not ready to see me differently, they love and know my past hits. My show, as you may have noticed, is not significant: naked girls and guys do not run around the stage. We have to “capture” the audience only with live sound! And in all other respects, I want to live my life in an interesting way: I try myself in different guises, and I don’t care about the opinions of those who think that Sviridova is simply “spraying away.” One authoritative psychologist once said that a person must change seven professions in his life in order to reveal the full potential inherent in nature. So I'm trying to follow this. I'm currently filming a film where I play a negative role. Who knows, maybe I will become famous in this field.

The question of choosing a profession did not arise before her. After school, she entered the music and pedagogical department of the Minsk Pedagogical Institute.

Alena got married early and gave birth to her first son, Vasily, at the age of 18. The child's father, candidate of chemical sciences Sergei Sviridov, was much older than Alena.

Three years later, the marriage cracked: everyday life and routine terribly oppressed Alena’s creative nature. She began to write depressive poetry, read books about love and death. She sang and played the guitar. She left her husband for a former theater actor who considered himself an unrecognized genius. He painted, wrote poems and stories, and wrote scripts for plays. He liked her first songs. She recorded several songs on Minsk radio, they began to be played on the air.

Alena's story

Now I will tell you about my difficult life. No, don’t be so scared, there won’t be anything boring. It’s just customary to put a biography on websites, or something like how it all began. So I decided to follow tradition in an unconventional way..

It's me. Sviridova Alena Valentinovna. Born Leonova. I am a little older than I would like, so I will coquettishly close this topic. I was born on the fourteenth of August in the city of Kerch, in Crimea, and from then on I consider myself a southern girl, I cannot stand the cold and thrive in the most thermonuclear heat. I love the sea and walking barefoot. My dad was a military pilot, tall, handsome and brave, I was incredibly proud of him. Mom is a philologist. Beautiful, smart and focused. I have Russian and a quarter of Ukrainian blood mixed in me, my great-grandfather’s name was Andriy Zabiyako. Do you feel the fuse? In general, I had a very happy childhood and categorically did not want to grow up. Then we moved to Minsk, I went to a specialized school with a musical focus, and my fate was decided.

To be honest, I remember school vaguely. I had to travel across the city twice every day, study music every day, and after my parents sent me to take English classes for adults, there was no life at all. In fact, I really like both music and English, but, so to speak, in a more free mode. Yes, you are hard, child labor. I grabbed it as best I could. In the seventh grade I learned to play the guitar. That same summer I went to a pioneer camp for the first time. Tasted glory. I started painting my nails and eyelashes. The boys treated him with respect, but as a friend, preferring more mature classmates. I was going through.

In ninth grade, everything changed. I blossomed, played and sang in the school ensemble. The boys ran in herds. So the teenage complexes passed by. I decided that I was not beautiful, but I was damn cute. I still remain in this conviction. Next was the Pedagogical Institute of Music Pedagogical Faculty, I was married, a child was born. A normal adult life began.

About three years later, I was terribly homesick for something that had not come true and sat down to write depressive poems and read books of the same nature. About love and death. She played the guitar and sang mournfully. I didn’t find any understanding in the house. She fell in love and left for a former theater artist and unrecognized genius. He drew, wrote poetry and prose, invented performances, in short, he understood me. I got inspired and started writing songs. He really liked it. I became even more inspired and recorded several songs on Belarusian radio. They began to spin them. I felt like an artist. Quite by chance, at the same time, I was invited to work at the Minsk Gorky Drama Theater, to play the main role in a musical play. But my friend did not forgive me for this.

This is such a sad story. But I actually started to get lucky professionally. I was invited to Moscow to try it, maybe it would work out. Yura Ripyakh, the director of a very popular band at the time, saw me at a concert in Minsk, opening for the aforementioned, asked for a cassette and, after a couple of weeks, called back and said that he had found money and we could try it. By the way, the money was given by Alexander Shevchenko, the current producer. To be honest, at first I suspected Yura of having unseemly purposes, but he came to meet me with his young wife Natasha, so the need to hold the defense disappeared by itself.

At first I lived at their house, where Natasha’s mother also lived. Many thanks to them. Well, then you already know everything, you have seen everything yourself. Nobody - Never, Pink Flamingo, Winter Just Ended, success and all that, thanks to which you are now reading my writing. I don’t attribute one hundred percent of success to myself, because if the most talented arrangers, musicians, directors, cameramen, artists and just good people hadn’t been with me at that moment, it’s unlikely that anything would have worked out. Thanks to Yura Ripyakh, Sasha Shevchenko, Sasha Ivanov, Misha Khleborodov, Seryozha Kozlov, Sergei Geruta, who made the first arrangements for me in Minsk, and Yura Reshetnikov, who organized a studio for me at Belarusian Radio. Completely free of charge, that is, for nothing.

Phew, I wrote it. Even my neck hurt. I guess I'll go and warm up.

Alena Sviridova (born August 14, 1962) is a famous Russian pop singer. She also repeatedly acted as an actress and TV presenter. She also tried her hand at the literary field. The singer’s hits still do not disappear from television and radio airwaves.

Childhood and youth

Sviridova Alena Valentinovna was born in sunny Kerch. Father Valentin Vyacheslavovich served as a military pilot, and mother Vera Vasilievna worked at a local radio station for most of her life. At one time, rumors spread that Alena Sviridova has a twin sister. This information has not been confirmed. Alena has a sister, but a cousin. Women communicate warmly throughout their lives. But, despite the fact that both are blonde and have some family traits, the sisters are absolutely not alike.

Alena Sviridova in childhood

As a child, Alena and her family left for the Krasnodar region. However, due to family circumstances, the Sviridovs did not stay there for long; the next stop was Minsk. Her grandmother remained in Crimea, whom Alena visited in the summer.

The girl mastered the school curriculum in Minsk, and here she entered the university at the music and pedagogical faculty. She combined her studies with supervision of a vocal studio.
