VIA "Gems"
The history of the creation of the famous VIA dates back to the beginning of 1970, when Yuri Malikov was offered to go to Japan to the EXPO-70 exhibition. There he got carried away modern music and especially its technical side. As a result, all the funds earned over eight months were spent on fifteen boxes of musical equipment and instruments for the future ensemble.
Upon arrival in Moscow, Yuri Malikov immediately began organizing the ensemble. Was tapped great amount musicians until, finally, the composition of the band was determined. Having recorded several songs with the ensemble, Yuri Malikov turned to the director of the popular radio program “S Good morning!” Ekaterina Tarkhanova, whom he met back in Japan (she worked at the stand of the All-Union Radio at EXPO 70) and who, in turn, introduced him to the editor-in-chief of the program, Era Kudenko. She liked the ensemble’s songs, and on August 8, 1971, as part of the “Good Morning!” a whole program was made about the new group, which performed two songs: the Russian folk song “Will I go out?” and for the first time M. Fradkin’s song “I’ll take you to the tundra.”
At the end of the program, a competition was announced among radio listeners for best name a new ensemble (then called VIA under the direction of Yuri Malikov). The editors received several tens of thousands of letters, offering 1183 different names. Of these, the musicians chose “Gems”. And not only because in their first song, “I’ll take you to the tundra,” which immediately became a hit, there were these words: “We’ll collect as many gems as you want!” “This name very accurately determined the direction of our collective creativity. In it, everyone had to, as it were, shine with the facets of their talent, reveal their capabilities as fully as possible in the team, and complement each other,” recalled Yuri Malikov.
On October 20, 1971, VIA, under the leadership of Yuri Malikov, went on air with a new name - “Gems”. Their songs were now heard in the Mayak program, and on the first radio program, and in the youth editorial office, and in the program “Hello, Comrade!” But basically all the initial activities of the ensemble were carried out through the Mosconcert. For the first time, audiences saw them live at a large pop concert in the summer theater of the Hermitage Garden in Moscow, in which they performed several songs. The first composition of the ensemble gradually changed and eventually a main group of performers emerged, with whom the most famous songs of “Gems” were later recorded. These are Irina Shachneva, Eduard Krolik, Sergey Berezin, Gennady Zharkov, Valentin Dyakonov, Nikolay Rappoport.
During 1972, other musicians also auditioned. Yuri Genbachev, Anatoly Mogilevsky, Yuri Peterson joined the team. The songs that formed the ensemble’s “golden fund” owe their popularity to this formed first composition of “Gems”: “I’ll take you to the tundra”, “This will never happen again”, “Good omens”, “Willow”, “Don’t be sad”, “Near the village of Kryukovo”, “Building BAM”, “If you are young at heart”, “Dovedove”, “My song, song”, “Snowflake”, “School ball”, “Ledum”, “There, behind the clouds”, festival song “About friendship”, “We, the young”, “Love lives on earth”, “For that guy”, “The crew is one family”, etc.
The songs of “Gems” are the result of collaboration with composers M. Fradkin, S. Tulikov, V. Shainsky, E. Khank, V. Dobrynin, O. Ivanov, Ya. Frenkel, Z. Binkin, A. Ekimyan, N. Bogoslovsky, poets P. Leonidov, M. Plyatskovsky, R. Rozhdestvensky, I. Shaferan, L. Derbenev, M. Ryabinin, S. Ostrov, E. Dolmatovsky. And the song by D. Tukhmanov to the verses of V. Kharitonov “My address Soviet Union» long years was business card collective: it began and ended every concert.
VIA "Gems" - My address Soviet Union
VIA "Gems" sang about love, oh native land, about the romance of difficult roads, they sang about what has always worried and worries young people. They were one of the few vocal and instrumental ensembles on the Soviet stage that performed patriotic songs.
In 1972, the Gems ensemble went to the hit festival in Dresden for the first time. The ensemble's soloist Valentin Dyakonov took sixth place in the overall standings out of 25 performers, and a record with four songs by “Gems” was released in Dresden.
Subsequently, VIA “Gems” became a laureate of the International music festivals and competitions in Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Havana, Milan, showed his art in countries Latin America and Africa. They toured their home country a lot and with great success.
Since 1972, they have constantly performed at Luzhniki: with solo concerts, concert sections, and in national programs.
VIA "Gems" - laureate of the V All-Union Competition of Variety Artists (1974).
In 1974–1975, the Gems gave ten concerts (10 days - 10 concerts) at the Dynamo stadium. The concerts were held in any weather, they were sold out - they attracted about 17 thousand spectators. The Gems' tours covered more than 30 cities of the USSR: Kyiv, Minsk, Alma-Ata, Tbilisi, Rostov, Kuibyshev, Ufa, Sverdlovsk and many others. While working on tour, they performed at huge stadiums and sports palaces.
In 1975, at the peak of fame, as a result of a creative crisis, several soloists left "Gems" and created their own group - VIA "Plamya", and Yuri Malikov recruited new line-up. In twenty days he managed to form virtually a new ensemble (from the old composition Alexander Brondman, Evgeny Kurbakov, the production group and Vladimir Vinokur, who had just joined the ensemble as a soloist, remained), and prepared a whole solo concert with new performers, half updating the repertoire. The new line-up of “Gems” included professional musicians: drummer V. Polonsky, who came from the VIA “Jolly Fellows”, trumpeter Valery Besedin from Mosconcert, arranger, pianist Vitaly Kretyuk, who worked with Alla Pugacheva in the ensemble “You, Me and the Song”, guitarist Valery Khabazin from the VIA “Veselye Rebyaty”, and from the group “What the Guitars Sing About”.
Yuri Malikov (center) and VIA "Gems"
Many idols of the 1980s and 1990s passed through the “Gems” school - Alexander Barykin, Arkady Khoralov, Sergey Belikov, Andrey Sapunov and others.
VIA "Gems" sought to revive the concert form of performances. The director's structure of the concert included precise lighting accents, emphasizing the movement of the program, creating an atmosphere of attention and concentration, and, where necessary, decisively breaking the rhythm of the action and mood. The “Gems” not only sang, but also commented on their performance, refusing the services of an entertainer and annoying service connections.
It was in “Gems” that he made his debut as a parodist, and was later replaced by humorist Sergei Kuznetsov.
The general crisis of vocal and instrumental ensembles in the USSR began with the 1980 Olympics. To show foreign athletes the progressiveness of the socialist system, rock culture was released from underground. At this time, ensembles were gradually allowed to have their own repertoire, musicians were given the opportunity to perform songs own composition. “Gems” were provided with the latest equipment, the stage of the Variety Theater. And in 1984, after the publication in the newspaper Pravda of the speech of the Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee on ideology K. U. Chernenko, many pop shows began to disband musical groups. After long and thorough checks, VIA “Gems” survived.
But parting with the stage could not be avoided. Those youth who listened to “Gems” in the 1970s have already matured, and the new generation has almost completely become interested in rock music. “Gems” began to lose their listeners. With the emergence of numerous pop groups (“ Tender May", "Mirage", "Vostok", etc.) and new soloists, the popularity of "Gems" fell.
Yuri Malikov said: “The guys are tired, exhausted. Some had grandchildren, others went into business or emigrated. Another generation of viewers came, and they needed their own idols.”
Future “pop stars” grew up behind the scenes of the ensemble: in 1987, Dmitry Malikov made his debut in “Gems” and began performing in the “Cruise” group.
In 1992, Yuri Malikov was forced to suspend the ensemble's activities. Tigran Aslamazyan was involved in voucher privatization in the Gaidar government, Valentin Dyakonov became an arranger and sound engineer, Oleg Sleptsov created his own group, Alexander Nefedov took up his own career, Vladimir Presnyakov began working with his son. Yuri Malikov was involved in the youth television and artistic club “Corus”, filmed television shows and videos, and headed the jury of various song competitions.
In 1996 - the year of the 25th anniversary of VIA "Gems" - he was asked to recall several melodies of "Gems" for the program "Golden Hit". More than 30 artists from different eras gathered for the shooting. The effect of their performance was so unexpected that six months later the famous “Old Songs about the Main Thing” were broadcast on ORT. After this, some members of the ensemble decided to resume performances - “Gems” were revived.
In 2000, in connection with the 30th anniversary of the ensemble, Yuri Malikov received the titles of laureate of the national music award “Ovation” and “Golden Gramophone” of Russian Radio.
Currently, the ensemble's soloists perform in "Gems" different years: Yuri Malikov, Irina Shachneva, Grigory Rubtsov, Sergei Ukhnalev and Elena Presnyakova, Alexander Nefedov, Oleg Sleptsov, Georgy Vlasenko. The repertoire of “Gems” includes more than 500 songs, many of which have become national song classics and are included in the encyclopedia of Soviet and Russian pop music.
“The phenomenon of the popularity of “Gems” is that our music was and remains simple, accessible, but at the same time professional and sincere”, says Yuri Malikov.
On February 14, 2007, the President of the Russian Federation signed a Decree awarding Yuri Malikov the title of People's Artist of Russia.
Yuri Malikov - President of the Development Fund musical art, vice president International Union pop figures. Awarded the Order of Peter the Great, 1st degree, and the Order of Friendship (2016).

A woman after plastic surgery, in a good clinic, at any age is transformed for the better!
Dmitry Malikov's relationship with his wife
Dmitry Malikov is Elena’s second husband. She got married for the first time at the age of 18, and at 19 her daughter Olya was born. Despite the fact that the relationships in the young family were, as they say, the envy of everyone, Lena’s personal life did not work out. They met Dmitry thanks to the persistence of the singer, who saw the girl in the photograph and was struck by her beauty.
When they met, the young artist fell in love with the beauty at first sight, and it was love for life. Beautiful and feminine Elena felt independent woman, who raised her daughter and was in no hurry to tie the knot again. In addition, she was embarrassed by the age difference (7 years), which, given her appearance and habit of constantly taking care of herself, was completely invisible.
The Malikovs spent the first eight years of their life together (starting in 1992) in a civil marriage. Love and mutual respect for each other helped Dmitry and Elena overcome all the troubles they encountered at the very beginning of their life together.

And no matter how many years you have lived, age does not matter if you are gifted by fate, talented and hardworking!
Russian model and young singer Stefania Malikova is already beginning to prove herself as a designer (like a mother). Stefa was born in Moscow and began studying music early: first piano (like her dad), and then guitar. And it is not surprising, because the children of composers and musicians, by the fact of their birth, are closely connected with music and musical creativity.
As an outstanding performer, Dmitry Malikov, by his example, made it clear to the child that constant work on oneself, the desire to reach the top in creativity, are an integral part of success and famous composer, and a clothing designer.

Dmitry’s father, Yuri Malikov, is also a musician, founder of the group “Gems,” and his mother is a singer in the music hall and in “Gems.”
Pressed by the musical talent of her father and grandfather, Stefa has her own ambitions. Who would want to after actively working on piece of music find out that envious people took credit for all your merits famous family father and grandfather.

Malikova herself is from Kazan, came to conquer Moscow, quickly got married, gave birth to a daughter, separated and... finally conquered Moscow. Dima Malikov is very kind, he accepted her into his star family with a child from his first marriage, Dima himself is only 15 years older than Elena’s daughter, in principle, Elena’s daughter is like a sister to Dima. Naturally, having acquired the rich Dima Little (in the sense of Malikov Jr.), Lena found HAPPINESS and peace of mind, as it were, gave birth to Dima’s daughter Stefania, in a word, a NOBLE LADY in all respects. On ordinary people She doesn’t even look now, BV users are not for servants and rabble. This is how she is... Elena Malenkova. She grabbed a rich guy, and even 5 years younger than herself (Dima is 5 years younger than Lena), not everyone can do it. It's good that Dima is not a walker.
Elena Malikova is the wife of Dmitry Malikov. She is 5 years older than him, got married with a daughter, and gave birth to the singer’s common Stefania.
Elena is originally from Kazan, where she graduated art school. After that, the girl went to the capital and met Dmitry, who liked her and asked to introduce them. It turned out almost like a fairy tale about Cinderella. The spouses live amicably, neither general work, and Dmitry likes that his wife is a self-sufficient person who has her own opinion.
Charming Elena Malikova has been the only wife of Dmitry Malikov for many years.
In the harsh show business, their family is an example to follow.
16 years ago, the couple had a daughter, although 15 years before this event, Elena became a mother for the first time, having given birth to a daughter from her first marriage.
It was destined for Dmitry Malikov to become a popular musician: his father is the founder of the popular VIA “Gems”, his mother is the soloist of this ensemble. But, like any normal boy, Dima boycotted music lessons: when a piano teacher came to the house, he ran out the window of their apartment on the first floor, leaving his grandmother to talk to the teacher.
Early glory
Malikov became interested in playing the piano only at the age of 14, largely due to the fact that he was allowed to give real concerts at school. Noticing that their son was finally inspired by music and even began to compose, his parents did everything to support this hobby. When Dima was 15, Larisa Dolina was already singing his songs, and he himself played the keyboards in the same “Gems”. But real fame came to Malikov when he was invited to television. After participating in Yuri Nikolaev’s “Morning Mail,” letters began to arrive in bags to the 17-year-old performer. It was written mainly by girls his age, who would soon fill the country’s main concert venue, the Olimpiysky Sports Complex, twice.
Malikov gave solo concerts, which many performers take years to complete, at the age of 20. By that time, his repertoire already had many hits: “Moonlight Dream”, “You Will Never Be Mine”, “Until Tomorrow”. The fans knew them by heart, rushed to the stage, not paying attention to the security, and continued to overwhelm their idol with declarations of love.
Faced with such adoration at the age of 20, it is easy to become a star. But Malikov was saved from “star fever” by a serious education. In parallel with performing pop songs, he studied at the conservatory, where all the tinsel of the stage was not considered something serious. Soon the singer had no time for fans at all: he fell in love. A woman who, in the early 90s, was herself the object of desire for many men.
Songs for your beloved
Natalia Vetlitskaya Long-legged blonde Natalya Vetlitskaya was 6 years older than him. But both did not see this as an obstacle to a passionate romance. “I was very young - 17-18 years old. At this age, they usually become victims of femme fatales,” Malikov recalled many years after their relationship.
Vetlitskaya had already left her first husband, Pavel Smeyan, by that time, and she and Malikov quickly began to live together, in a civil marriage.
For her, this union also turned out to be professionally beneficial: it was Dmitry who wrote one of the most famous hits Natalia - the song “Soul”. “My soul will sing to me at the end of the day that love has passed” - these words turned out to be prophetic for their relationship.
Soon Malikov found out that his beloved was cheating on him - with singer Zhenya Belousov. Not once did he allow himself to accuse her of this directly. “At some point, Natasha realized that she needed another man - not so fixated on himself. She made me understand this and eventually forced me to put an end to our relationship,” Malikov diplomatically explains their breakup. Having broken up with Vetlitskaya, he realized that white stripe his life was interrupted: the first wave of fame had already faded away, in his personal life there were only letters from fans, but even those became significantly less numerous. It was necessary to move on.
Serious music
Elena Malikova and Dmitry Malikov In the mid-90s, Malikov was no longer interested in just singing on stage. He begins to experiment: gives piano concerts, releases a debut album instrumental music, composes melodies for films.
Yes, this work is no longer for the masses, but for a more sophisticated public - but Dmitry truly enjoys bringing to life what he learned at the conservatory.
Quite by chance, fate brought him together with a woman who would support his ideas in everything. She became designer Elena Izakson.
She was also older and also divorced, raising a daughter from her first marriage. They lived together for several years, and when Elena became pregnant, they officially registered their relationship.
Daughter Stefania was born in 2000, becoming the main gift for the singer’s 30th birthday. And recently, the Malikov family truly surprised not only their fans, but also their loved ones. Secretly from everyone, Dmitry and Elena became parents again: a surrogate mother carried the boy to the couple.
#It's a little hard
Now Dmitry Malikov is 49 - and in interviews he sometimes admits that he is in a creative crisis. Keep up with modern trends It’s not easy for his peers, but Dmitry seems to have succeeded.
In 2015, Malikov became an active user social network Twitter. In October, one of his tweets became a huge hit. “How are you doing in general? Is it a bit difficult? Or nothing?,” the singer wrote. Bloggers instantly turned #heavy into a popular hashtag and began to accompany their responses to Malikov.

Childhood and family
Elena Malikova, nee Valevskaya, was born in Tula; her passport indicates the year of her birth as 1963, although according to some sources she was born in 1965. Elena was the only child of her parents, who tried to make their beloved daughter’s childhood rich and bright. The cozy creative atmosphere of their home contributed to the fact that Elena decided to get art education. For this, the girl moved to Kazan and graduated from the Kazan Art School there. Having continued her studies in Moscow, Elena received a diploma from the Institute of Culture, and then entered VGIK, where she chose the directing department.
With husband Dmitry MalikovCareer
After finishing her studies, Elena Malikova began to try herself as an actress, model and fashion designer, businesswoman and, finally, wife. Director Alexander Sorokin invited her to star in his film “Kill a Scorpio,” but for the 90s this film was quite banal - action, crime, gang warfare. The next attempt at writing was “Kara,” which was released in 1993 and also did not bring much fame to the young actress.
The modeling business greeted young Elena more cordially - for some time the girl worked as a fashion designer at a children's art school. It was this area of activity that brought Elena Malikova the greatest success.
Subsequently, having already become Dmitry’s wife, Elena founded her own clothing brand “Honeymoon”, which began to bring the woman not only fame, but also a stable income. This brand was born in Italy, where Elena was vacationing with her friend. Bored from the monotonous holiday (beach, wine, shopping), the women decided to have some fun and created their own clothing line. Despite their different nationality, the Italians were happy to help the spectacular Elena Malikova decorate her biography with a new creative business, especially since the woman then had a birthday and they simply could not refuse her such a important date. Considering Elena’s connections and her loose tongue, she quickly agreed with one of the factories in Florence and began work.
Elena Malikova with Alexander Vasiliev After some time, shops under the brand of Elena Malikova, the wife of Dmitry Malikov, began to appear in Moscow, making the woman’s biography more intense - because now she could work not only for her husband. Such successful business Elena managed to create thanks to her unsurpassed taste and ability to sensitively sense all trends in the fashion world.
Even before meeting Dmitry, Elena tried herself not only in creative fields, but also in the serious economic field. The girl acted as an economist in a joint Austrian-Russian project, thanks to which she was able to spend a lot of time on business trips to foreign countries.
Today, Elena Malikova devotes all her time and energy to helping her husband, performs all possible roles and is his right hand. In an interview with Ksenia Sobchak, Elena admitted that with her husband she is a costume designer, a manager, a director, and an adviser. However, the wife famous artist does not complain about fate - according to her, she likes to help her loved one realize his creative plans.
With husband Dmitry Malikov Personal life
Elena's first husband was a businessman who was ready to shower her with diamonds and fur coats, despite the difficult 90s. In those years, the girl lived like in a fairy tale - she was only 18 years old, and her husband fulfilled her every whim. At the age of 19, Elena became a mother for the first time - she gave birth to a daughter, Olya.
At the same time, the first tragedy happened in the girl’s family - her mother died. Through a short time My father followed my mother to another world. It was a very difficult period for Elena; in fact, she held on only for the sake of her daughter, although her husband also tried to support his beloved wife.
Elena and Dmitry Malikov with their daughter at the premiere of the film “The Geographer Drank His Globe Away” Time passed and, despite the established way of life, it was very difficult for the girl to communicate with her husband - after all, he could not share her passion for talking about “high” things, and soon heavenly life turned into a “golden cage”. Unable to bear such a big difference in character, the girl decided to divorce her husband, although he was a kind, understanding guy.
A mundane life could not satisfy Elena’s highly spiritual nature; already at the age of 25 she understood that she needed a person endowed with “spiritualized sexuality.” Ideal man must be not only attractive and educated, but also interested in the spiritual world. Dmitry became such a person for Elena.
They met when Dima was 22 and Elena was 29. But the artist did not know about the age difference, because he first saw the girl in a photo in an album from mutual friends - and immediately fell in love. Through a mutual friend, he insisted on a date with Elena.
As the artist’s wife herself recalls their first meeting, it was very touching and romantic. A friend called her and, begging, convinced her to agree to a date with the already famous Malikov at that time. Elena knew him as a TV character, and now she had to see the handsome boy in person.
Surrounded by family When she saw Dmitry for the first time, the girl realized that it was Him: handsome, tall, with long hair and, as Elena laughs, dressed terribly, but fashionably - by the standards of that time. Malikov immediately struck her with his purity and sincerity; he was like a prince from a children's fairy tale. And the heart of the beautiful princess trembled. Moreover, Dmitry’s character reminded Elena of her father - he was the same subtle, intelligent person. The dream of “spiritualized sexuality” has come true.
Date of Birth eldest daughter Elena Malikova was born on June 28, 1985, and at that time she already had to go to first grade, but this did not scare Dmitry and the lovers began a joint biography. After all, this is exactly the kind of woman the singer was looking for - self-confident, self-sufficient, understanding exactly what she wants - and at the same time very feminine and sophisticated. Elena met all the parameters.
However living together didn't work out from the very beginning. Dmitry invited Elena to accompany him on a tour of cities, where he would perform in front of military personnel, and the girl agreed, hoping for romantic evenings and comfortable apartments. But it was not there! It was on this long trip that she had to learn what cold, hunger, and simply the complete absence of any banal amenities were like. Although, as the couple later admitted, it is precisely such Spartan conditions that bring them closer together.
With husband Dmitry Malikov Until 2000, the couple lived in a civil marriage and only with the birth of their daughter Stephanie decided to officially marry. Moreover, Dmitry himself especially insisted on concluding the marriage - it seemed wild to him that in his daughter’s birth certificate there would be a dash in place of the “father” column. So, thanks to the birth of Stesha, the couple registered their relationship.
Scandals
Despite appearances ideal life, which is created by the Malikovs, scandalous news leaked to the press about how Dmitry celebrated one of his birthdays. Elena was unable to be with her husband during the day and arrived home only late in the evening to congratulate her husband. But he was not in the apartment, Dmitry did not answer calls.
Finally, well after midnight, friends brought in a drunken Malikov, adorned with the savory kisses of fans. Elena tried to throw a scandal at her husband, but received a resounding slap in the face. She had never experienced such shock.
Waking up in the morning, Dmitry begged Elena to forgive him and tried to explain the reason for his terrible behavior. The wife put up with her husband’s prank, justifying herself by saying that in a family one always needs to understand and forgive each other, and she herself felt guilty - after all, she actually missed the birthday of her beloved husband.
With husband and youngest daughter The next conflict arose when Elena read a text message on Dmitry’s phone from her mistress, who was Miss Russia at that time. However, Malikov managed to hush up this conflict - he convinced his wife that communication with the girl was purely friendly, despite the midnight conversations.
At the beginning of 2018, Elena Malikova gave great interview Ksenia Sobchak, where she tried to debunk the myth about her husband’s assault, but the famous journalist didn’t really believe her. Although Elena claims that her husband “wouldn’t hurt a fly,” the fact remains that once the family was already on the verge of divorce.
Neither Malikova’s Domostroevsky obedience nor the presence of a child helped this. However, the couple came to their senses in time and did not dare to destroy the beautiful fairy tale that they created in front of their fans.
According to Elena, she really likes to be a submissive wife and please her husband in everything. For the sake of her beloved Dmitry Malikov, the wife goes to fitness and works out hard on exercise machines so that her biography is worthy of her young husband - given the age difference, Elena Malikova is simply forced to take extra care of herself. In addition, Elena runs a lot on the treadmill and does not shy away from cosmetic procedures - she did mesotherapy and was satisfied.
With Ksenia Sobchak The biography of Elena Malikova has become a model of the growth of female wisdom and humility, and not least of all, Elena’s exemplary behavior was influenced by the woman’s date of birth, but even at her age she manages to maintain ideal weight and watch your figure. Of course, many tabloids are sure that such close attention to her own appearance, the reason for Elena’s uncertainty in her husband is that the young husband has already looked at young ladies more than once.
