Many people remember their childhood and youth with nostalgia. This is why performers from the 80s and 90s (Russians) are popular. The list can be continued almost endlessly. After all, at that time there were many active singers of different genres. They have enjoyed success for many years. There were also those whose fame faded after one hit. Here are a few short lists performers who were popular in the eighties and nineties.
Performers of songs of the 80-90s (Russian): list of men
During this time, there were many singers who became famous for performing several hits. In the first list we did not include men who are now stage veterans and continue to actively tour. We will only talk about those who are currently undeservedly forgotten, although many of these singers are trying to repeat their past success:
That's not all popular artists 80-90 years (Russians). The list can be continued almost endlessly. We have chosen only the most brightest stars of that time, overlooking the talented Zhenya Belousov and Evgeniy Osin. To this day, such singers as Philip Kirkorov, Valery Leontyev and Oleg Gazmanov perform.
Russian performers of the 80-90s: list of women
The stage of that time consisted of almost 70% women. In those years, the country listened to the songs of Irina Allegrova and Tatyana Bulanova. Dance hits were performed by Lada Dance. Soulful songs with a folk touch belonged to Nadezhda Kadysheva and her namesake Nadezhda Babkina.
The hits were sung by Russian performers from the 80s and 90s. The list consisted of people who made it only due to their talent, and of those in whose “promotion” a lot of money was invested. Alsou and Lena Zosimova were called the “golden” children of show business in those years. These singers were promoted at the expense of their fathers, although it cannot be said that they did not have talent. The singers of one hit were Marina Khlebnikova and Natalie. Although the latter recently released new song, which captivated the whole country - the hit “Oh God, what a man!”
The most famous groups of the 80-90s
The real breakthrough at that time was the success of the group " Tender May" This first boy band broke a lot of girls' hearts. On tour, the team packed stadiums. Several lineups of the group even traveled around the country, the singers in which were vaguely similar to the original performers. By analogy with this group, many singers began performing to a soundtrack.
There were other successful performers of the 80-90s (Russians). The list of groups, for example, looks incomplete without mentioning Bari Alibasov’s project “Na-na”. The team captivated the audience with their sexuality. Young men sometimes performed in costumes consisting of one bunch of bananas. Besides these the brightest groups, the country in those years listened to the songs of the following groups: “Combination”, “Kar-man”, “Hands Up”, “Nancy”, “Gaza Strip”, “Russian Size” and “ Inveterate scammers" Many of these groups subsequently broke up and gave rise to solo projects.
In the 90s there were many popular songs and great bands: Scooter, Spice Girls, Aqua, Ace of Base and many others. They sounded on all beaches, discos, from every stall and cafe, teenagers' rooms were hung with their posters. But time goes by, teenagers come, the musicians themselves change...

Let's remember famous singers 90s, who built a solo career or sang as part of popular groups, but then suddenly disappeared. What the stars of those years are doing now, this post will tell you and me.
Irina Saltykova. After the release of the video “Gray Eyes”, the whole country started talking about Irina. She was immediately given the title of sex symbol and new rising star.
With each new song, Saltykova continued to take root on the stage. Now Irina has retired from music and is successfully running a business; she has a beauty and style house “Irina Saltykova”, her own boutique and beauty salon.
Little is known about the singer’s personal life, only that she has a beloved man, but who he is, Irina keeps secret. Songs remained in her life as a pleasant hobby.
Marina Khlebnikova. Thanks to her, people loved to drink a “cup of coffee” and even fell in love with “slanting rains.” Marina began to take part in national concerts, her videos were played on central channels.
She began to actively tour and write one hit after another. And suddenly, at the peak of Khlebnikov’s popularity, he suddenly disappears. The reason was problems in my personal life, and even health problems.
How things are now with the singer, and what she is doing is unknown. But somehow she herself said to herself that she had no talents other than the ability to sing.
Tatiana Bulanova. Tatyana is perhaps the most successful of the artists of the 90s. She managed to stay in the spotlight and not disappear into the wild 90s.
To this day, she continues to release albums, give concerts and participate in highly rated television projects.
Of course, this does not compare with her popularity 20 years ago. When the whole country literally roared at the screens, when Tanya quietly sang “Sleep, little son...” with tears in her eyes.
Lada Dance. The singer started out in the group “Women’s Council” with “friends from the shop” Svetlana Lazareva and Alena Vitebskaya at the very height of perestroika.
Then she appeared as a soloist in the group “Technology”, but did not last long, having quarreled with the producer.
Later, Lada was a backing vocalist for Philip Kirkorov and sang as the opening act for the Kar-Man group, but this was not enough for her. She went to Europe, but did not achieve success there either.
Maria Volkova (Barbie). In the early nineties, a girl, like two peas in a pod like a doll that had become fashionable, took stage name Barbie. She sang several songs, including the hit: “You paint your eyelashes bright blue. You are waiting for beautiful love, but it’s still not there”... And then she literally disappeared.
As it turned out, apart from working 24 hours a day and loneliness, there was nothing in her life. So, Maria quarreled with the producers and terminated her contract. But she never managed to build a solo career.
Alena Apina. Apina began her ascent to musical Olympus in the "Combination" group, where she achieved dizzying success. Over the years, her popularity faded, and the artist slowly switched to her family and children.
Alena married producer Boris Iratov and gave birth to a daughter. The singer stopped giving concerts and appearing on screens. According to her, she made the decision to end her career without difficulty, feeling a pull towards her family.
Svetlana Roerich. In the second half of the 90s, when her main hits - “Palms” and “Give Me Music” - were released, the aspiring singer became wildly popular. But when a conflict broke out with the producer, difficult times came for her.
There was no help from anyone, not even from her husband, whom Svetlana married at the age of 18. Deciding to throw this burden off her shoulders, Svetlana divorced her husband and somehow terminated her contract with the producer.
Then I tried to do everything on my own, but only lasted a couple of years. Now Svetlana is the director of a PR communications agency and a single mother.
Tatiana Ovsienko. Once upon a time, it was impossible to imagine any performance without Ovsienko’s performances. big concert, not a single solemn ceremony. The singer’s popularity in the 90s simply went off scale.
And today we hear nothing at all about her. It turns out that Tatyana adopted a child and devoted her life to raising him.
Alexandra Zvereva (Demo). No disco of the late nineties was complete without the killer hits of the Demo group. In 2002, Zvereva and her producer Vadim Polyakov terminated their contract with the ARS company.
But, as it turns out, the Demo group exists to this day only with a slightly different lineup. And Sasha Zvereva herself from time to time records solo songs, and also produces clothes from her brand.
Natalya Vetlitskaya. Ex-soloist of the once popular women's team“Mirage” managed to occupy the niche of a sexy blonde in the domestic show business for many years.
Natalya released a couple of albums that fans literally swept off store shelves, and then suddenly disappeared from the public eye.
She left the world of show business without saying goodbye, without giving a farewell concert, without explaining herself to the public. It is only known that in 2004 Natalya had a daughter, and in 2008 she decided to leave Russia and went to Spain.
Marina Zhuravleva. Once upon a time, the hits “Ah, White Bird Cherry” and “I Have a Wound in My Heart” were heard from every gateway. They were especially loved by vacationers: these songs often became the soundtrack to short summer holiday romances.
In the early 90s, Marina even went on tour to the USA and never returned. And only 20 years later she returned to her homeland. In an interview, she said that she always knew that she would not live in America forever. They say that when Zhuravleva began giving concerts again in her homeland, she was second only to Leps in terms of ticket sales!
Olga Orlova. Olga is the very first and main soloist of one of the most popular girl groups of the 90s, “Brilliant”. Olga performed her debut hit “There, Only There” when she was only 18 years old.
The composition of the group changed constantly, but Orlova remained the permanent leader for five years. The lyrics of the most recognizable song “Where are you, where?” she also wrote.
After leaving the group, Olga performed with solo projects, acted in films, played in the theater.

At international music competitions she always created a sensation, and her beauty and style also conquered the world of high fashion. She was called "Miss Chanel of the Soviet Union."
But Irina herself decided that she was not beautiful enough and dared to plastic surgery. This was a big mistake.
Recently, the ubiquitous paparazzi found Ponarovskaya, now living in Estonia, and took several photographs. In the photo - an ordinary grandmother who dotes on her little grandson.

Now she lives in America, raises her son, works on her own farm and provides the services of a naturopathic doctor.
Lika Star. In the mid-90s, Lika was a cult party star: one of the first Russian girls to appear on the cover of Russian Playboy, Vladimir Presnyakov’s mistress and the heroine of a video that became legendary.
The music video for the song “Lonely Moon” stars Fyodor Bondarchuk, Sergei “Spider” Troitsky, Gosha Kutsenko, Masha Tsigal and others. But the beauty’s rapid career ended with the birth of her first child, son Artemy, in 1995.

From her second husband, Lika gave birth to a daughter and a son. Raising children former singer combines with the organization of gastronomic tours to Sardinia.
Lena Zosimova. If you are the pretty daughter of the founder of MTV Russia, Boris Zosimov, you have every chance of becoming popular, even your vocal abilities leave much to be desired.
