Vladimir Presnyakov: biography
Vladimir Presnyakov was born on March 29, 1968 in the city of Sverdlovsk (in 1991, its former name was returned to Yekaterinburg).

Fashion designer Elena Lenskaya: what is she known for, connection with Vladimir
Elena Lenskaya, a famous designer, helped the singer survive the breakup with Kristina Orbakaite. She was interested in sewing since childhood, and at the age of 15 she was doing it very professionally. In 1994, Elena Lenskaya created her own atelier. By the way, the first show of her collection took place in the Kremlin.
Just like Kristina Orbakaite, Elena Lenskaya is 3 years younger than Vladimir Presnyakov
A young woman who had recently gone through a divorce from composer Igor Sarukhanov could understand Vladimir Presnyakov’s experiences like no one else. The couple lived together for almost 10 years, five of them in an official marriage. They parted peacefully, without scandals or mutual accusations.
Wife Natalya Podolskaya: career, relationship development, children
In 2005, Vladimir Presnyakov was invited to France to film the show “The Great Race”. The singer did not take his acquaintance with a Star Factory graduate 14 years younger than him seriously and invited 24-year-old Natalya Podolskaya to his hotel. Naturally, the indignant girl refused, and the man had to change tactics.
In 2005, Natalya Podolskaya represented Russia at the 50th Eurovision Song Contest
The singer still could not resist the charm of Vladimir Presnyakov, and he later recalled that after talking a little with the girl, he felt that a loved one was next to him. Arriving in Russia, the couple broke off their relationship - the reason was the marital status of the singer, who had not yet managed to divorce Elena Lenskaya. Their separation lasted for 5 whole months, that’s how long it took the man to complete all the paperwork, and since then the lovers have never parted.
They were in no hurry to go to the registry office - they simply lived and enjoyed their happiness. They were united not only by feelings, but also by joint performances. The first wedding of Vladimir Presnyakov and Natalya Podolskaya, which many around them perceived as a joke, took place in Las Vegas. But in 2010 they legalized relations already on Russian territory. Five years later, or rather on June 5, 2020, the young woman gave birth to a son, Artemy.
In August 2020, on her Instagram account, the singer’s wife confirmed rumors about her second pregnancy and added that, in her opinion, there should be many Presnyakovs
After Eurovision and Star Factory
After Natalia Podolskaya’s participation in Eurovision, her songs were included in the rotation of many radio stations. Most often it could be heard on Russian Radio. During this period, she collaborated with Viktor Drobysh’s production center “National Music Corporation” (the contract expired in 2010 and was not renewed).
In 2008, the singer became the laureate of the Song of the Year festival for the first time. She received an award for the composition “Be a Part of Yours,” recorded together with Vladimir Presnyakov, Angelika Varum and Leonid Agutin.
In just six years (from 2008 to 2013), the singer became a laureate of the festival five times. The award was brought to her by the songs “You are with me”, “Rain”, “Oxygen” (all were recorded together with Presnyakov) and “The day has gone out again” (together with Varum). In 2015, the performer also received the Golden Gramophone for the composition “Oxygen.”
By this time, she had already released her second album, called “Intuition”. It was also released on the First Music Publishing House label (as was Pozdno).
Fans of Podolskaya had to wait seven years for the third album. The album “Cry” was released only at the beginning of March 2020. Its release was preceded by a long campaign for the release of singles - “I won’t deceive Mom,” “Neither more nor less,” “Earthling,” “Lost,” “Strong / Weak,” “Like in War” and “Phoenix.”
During her career, the singer recorded a couple of dozen videos. The first video clip was released for the song “Nobody Hurt No One”, it was directed by Igor Burloff. The video was filmed in the capital of Finland, Helsinki, at the Tavastia club.
Most often, Podolskaya collaborated with Sergei Tkachenko - five times (“Intuition”, “Forgive”, “Far There”, “Breathe” and “Earthling”). Marat Adelshin, Alan Badoev, Kirill Gantsev, Dmitry Golubev, Olga Gorodetskaya, Alexander Konyshev, Maxim Rozhkov, Alexander Solokha, Vladimir Shirokov and others also worked with her.
Vladimir Presnyakov now
In 2020, Vladimir Presnyakov turned 52 years old. The singer is in excellent shape: with a height of 184 cm, he weighs 80 kg. He is full of plans and is still in demand. By his own admission, popularity is not a criterion for him. He just loves what he does. The singer constantly shares his news, both in his personal and creative life, with his fans on social networks.
There is always something to tell Vladimir Presnyakov about. The main summer news of 2020 was the June premiere of the video for the song “Knocking on Heaven.”
But the most precious thing, according to the singer, is family. And here Vladimir Presnyakov also managed to achieve success: he has wonderful children, he is happy, and most importantly, he loves and is loved.
