Height, weight, age of Vladimir Kuzmin
Due to the fact that the musician is extremely popular, his army of fans wants to learn as much information as possible about their idol. For example, physical data - height, weight, age of Vladimir Kuzmin. At this point in time, the musician is 62 years old, weighs 75 kilograms, and height is 173 centimeters.
The musician’s fan audience is very diverse and not everyone knows what Vladimir Kuzmin was like in his youth. Photos from his youth can still be found in the public domain, although the quality of the photographic materials leaves much to be desired, but they still exist. According to the Zodiac calendar, Vladimir is a Gemini, because he was born at the very end of May.
"Sportloto" (1981)
Sports lotteries are still held in the post-Soviet space today. But, of course, their popularity cannot be compared with that of the state lottery “Sportloto” in the USSR. Its first draw took place in 1970, and, according to Wikipedia, up to 70% of the Soviet population was involved in the game. At least, my father played often and periodically let me, a little kid, cross out the cherished numbers on a lottery ticket (each number corresponded to a particular sport).
The lottery was immortalized in Gaidai’s famous comedy “Sportloto-82”. And in the same 1982, a new group DINAMIK was born, which also glorified lottery excitement.
I’m giving up on volleyball, on football and skating, on judo and basketball, it’s all just passing by for now, ah-ah.
Again I take risks, But I won’t give up for anything, Again I take risks, I play sports lotto.
V. Kuzmin: “Back then my friends and I were calculating various combinations. Played often! And they were close to victory. But in the end they squandered all the money. If there were more of them, then we would probably be successful!”

In fact, the song was written and recorded even before DINAMIK - for a completely different project...
It all started in the late 70s, when two young talents, Vladimir Kuzmin and Alexander Barykin, gathered over a glass of tea. Both were burdened with a musical education, both played in VIA (the first in GEMS, the second in Merry Guys), which did not prevent them from passionately loving rock music and composing their own songs. It was then that Barykin convinced his comrade to quit his stable, but creatively unpromising VIA existence and start “his own business.”
V. Kuzmin “There was also a very good level in GEMS, although what happened on stage was very different from what we listened to “in the rooms.” I already realized then that this couldn’t go on for long, because I could never do what I was told, I had a lot of my own ideas. ...Sasha then said a wonderful phrase, look, they say, people in Chile are making revolutions, but why can’t we quit some Mosconcert and create a rock band?”
No sooner said than done. In 1980, two enthusiasts organized the CARNIVAL group. The beginning was promising: a year later he released an EP with three CARNIVAL songs. Moreover, on the envelope (they say, for the first time in the USSR) the seditious words “rock band” were printed!
Composer Vladimir Matetsky and poet Igor Kokhanovsky helped the young group get their record out. In addition, Kokhanovsky (author of the popular “Indian Summer”) took a direct part in composing the lyrics for CARNIVAL - in particular, he wrote such hits as “Sportloto” and “Sudden Dead End”.
True, “Sportloto”, unlike “Dead End”, was not included on the record, but it was included in the first tape album of CARNIVAL “Superman” (1981). He also became the last. The two leaders quickly realized that they were cramped within the same group and separated - to their credit, without the usual quarrels and insults in such a situation. They maintained friendly relations until Barykin’s death and even periodically appeared on stage together (for example, in 2003, at a concert in Dnepropetrovsk, they performed “Sportloto” as a duet).
The fact that the two musicians had a common past can be seen from their passion for ri (they became one of the first propagandists of this style in the USSR), as well as from the funny chant “Wo-wo” (this “trick” can be heard not only in Kuzminsk “Sportloto”, but also in Barykino “Miracle Island”).
Biography of Vladimir Kuzmin
This wonderful musician was born on the last day of the month of May (31st), in 1955. At that moment, when the first screams were heard in the maternity ward, the biography of Vladimir Kuzmin began.
Mother - Kuzmina Natalya Ivanovna was a school English teacher. Father - Kuzmin Boris Grigorievich was a marine and had an officer rank.
After graduating from school at the military camp, it was decided to apply to the capital's railway institute. But studies did not work out due to the realization that Vladimir’s life belongs to music.
His musical career began when he graduated from the Dnepropetrovsk Music College. Vladimir began playing in the Nadezhda ensemble, but due to criticism from the artistic director, the musician left the group.
Subsequently, Kuzmin performed in the groups “Gems” and “Carnival”, and in 1982 the legendary “Dynamic” was created, in which he performed until 1986.
After a year of work with Alla Pugacheva, the musician revives “Dynamic” and goes to the States. And in the 90s, Vladimir returned to his homeland, where he assembled the same “Dynamic” for the third time. At the same time, Kuzmin opens a recording studio that is not inferior to those overseas and re-records his music.
Career
From June 1994 to September 1996, Alexander Kuzmin headed Nevsky Style LLP. The company was engaged in retail trade of food and non-food products. From September 1996 to December 1997, he headed TDA CJSC - he was involved in the distribution of Holt Lloyd Int. (UK) products in the Russian Federation, and from December 1997, the distribution of Honeywell products - a manufacturer of auto cosmetics under the brands "HOLTS" and "REDEX".
From November 1997 to February 2003, he headed OJSC Trading House of Autocosmetics (later LLC Trading House of Autocosmetics). As a result of negotiations with Honeywell, OJSC "Trading House of Autocosmetics" received distribution rights to the trademarks "HOLTS" and "REDEX" throughout the Russian Federation. In addition, the company began contract production of auto chemicals and auto cosmetics under its own trademark “EXPERT”, the rights to which A. Kuzmin registered in 1999.
In 2001, A. Kuzmin founded the company Retail&HoReCa (RusHOLTS)[1], of which he is still the general director.
Personal life of Vladimir Kuzmin
The personal life of Vladimir Kuzmin is busy and rich. A separate episode in the media highlights the relationship with the Russian pop diva Alla Pugacheva. This relationship was hidden quite carefully, and all that is known is that there were tender feelings between colleagues on the stage, but creativity came first. Constant competitions in creativity, as well as many musical works were dedicated specifically to Pugacheva - that’s all that can be said on this matter.
In addition to a huge army of fans, Vladimir Kuzmin had several women with whom he tied the knot in marriage.
Personal life
The biography and family of Alexander Viktorovich Kuzmin have never been particularly advertised, so little is known about him. According to some reports, his second wife Natalya Grigorievna is also an architect; she works in the Department of State Control for the Protection and Use of Historical and Cultural Monuments of Moscow. The eldest daughter Alexandra also graduated from the architectural institute, so we can say that Alexander Viktorovich laid the foundation for a family tradition.
Kuzmin considers architecture to be his main passion in life; all his life he has been doing what he loved and was able to achieve high results. All that is known about his ordinary life is that for some time he was fond of collecting coins, tin soldiers, and also went jogging.
Family of Vladimir Kuzmin
In addition to his parents, the musician has a younger brother, whose name is Alexander, and an older sister, Irina Kuzmina.
When my father was transferred to another garrison, Vladimir Kuzmin’s entire family moved from Moscow to a military town. In the future, all that is known is that Vladimir’s brother joined his musical group. After this, he lived for some time in the United States of America, but eventually returned to Russia, where he settled in the capital just like their older sister Irina. Little is known about her sister, but you can find several photographs where Irina is surrounded by her younger brothers.
Biography
The results of his work as the chief builder of Moscow were criticized by many, and on the Internet they openly mocked all the endeavors of the high-ranking official. Perhaps this attitude was caused by the fact that Kuzmin was for a long time on the team of the disgraced Luzhkov, who was scolded by everyone after his resignation.
Kuzmin Alexander Viktorovich was born on July 12, 1951 in Moscow in the famous Sokolniki. From early childhood, the boy was fond of drawing and attended fine arts clubs at school. Later this hobby grew into a serious occupation, drawings, drawings, and planning became his profession. In one of his interviews, Kuzmin claimed that he became an architect by accident and never specifically strived for it.
Children of Vladimir Kuzmin
Such a topic as the children of Vladimir Kuzmin is associated with both bright and tragic moments in his life. It is known that the musician has three children from his first marriage, but to everyone’s regret, the two eldest left this world, and the eldest daughter died a violent death.
Another tragic moment in Vladimir's life is the unnatural death of his father. Boris Grigorievich had an accident. Sharing his son’s passion for two-wheeled vehicles, the musician’s father preferred to drive motorized vehicles. At the time of the car accident, Boris Kuzmin was 86 years old.
Son of Vladimir Kuzmin - Stepan
One of the musician’s eldest children was born in 1983. The son of Vladimir Kuzmin, Stepan, followed his father’s path, becoming a musician. Just like his father, the young man had a dream of making a career as a singer, he even managed to form his own group. But evil fate did not allow the guy to realize his goals and dreams.
The guy died, and this happened because of a fire caused by an unextinguished cigarette. The young man fell from a height of more than fifty meters when he tried to get out of the apartment engulfed in flames. The factor in the fall of Vladimir’s eldest son was the flimsy cornice along which he tried to move to his neighbors.
Carier start
Like many other film actors, Pavel began his career by serving in the theater. After graduating from the institute, he joined the troupe of the famous Stanislavsky Theater, and after some time he moved to the Theater of Nations.
Pavel made his debut on television in 2009, but his role was so small that the birth of a star went unnoticed - in the historical television series “Ivan the Terrible” Pavel played a cameo role. However, if the audience failed to notice the appearance of a young and interesting actor, the producers and directors immediately paid attention to him.
The very next year, Pavel played his first big role in the melodramatic film “Love Story.” In a life story about loyalty to his first love, Pavel played the role of a conscript soldier who went missing in Chechnya. The image of the beloved hero Pavel, who did not wait for him and married a provincial rich man, was embodied on the screen by Anastasia Tsvetaeva; Inga Oboldina, Ekaterina Dvigupskaya, Natalya Arinbasarova and the constant “hero” of scandalous reports Alexei Panin also played in the film.
Pavel Kuzmin on the stage of the Theater of Nations" in the play "The Glass Menagerie"
Among Pavel’s first works were participation in the television series “And the Ball Will Return”, “Cheat If You Love”, “Chess Player Syndrome” and “Beautiful Life”. In the detective drama “Resort Fog,” Pavel’s partners were Sergei Astakhov, Alexander Rapoport, Yan Tsapnik, Yuri Kormushin and Alena Babenko, and in the crime television project “Queen of Bandits” the young artist starred in the company of Vladimir Zherebtsov, Ekaterina Vasilyeva, Ekaterina Kuznetsova and Boris Galkin.
The adopted son of Vladimir Kuzmin - Nikita
The child of his ex-wife Tatyana Artemyeva was not related by blood to the composer, and then he decides to adopt him. The adopted son of Vladimir Kuzmin, Nikita, was born five years later than the deceased Stepan. The guy’s life also didn’t work out, because he, in turn, got involved in one very serious scam. By court decision, Nikita was sentenced to three years in a general regime colony.
The good news for him was the consideration of an amnesty. The guy was amnestied right in the courtroom. Apart from this high-profile case, press service employees were unable to obtain more information.
Daughter of Vladimir Kuzmin - Elizaveta
The eldest daughter Lisa first saw this world in 1977. At the age of twenty-five, Vladimir Kuzmin’s daughter, Elizaveta Kuzmina, died a violent death at home.
A girl living at that time in the capital of the Russian Federation was stabbed sixteen times. The girl died from excessive blood loss and damage to internal organs. When investigating the case, the police, having reached a dead end, were unable to find the identities of those who committed such a terrible crime. And on one of the walls in the apartment it was written “The Matrix has you”, which means: “You are stuck in the Matrix” - a quote from the film, then still by the Wachowski brothers, The Matrix.

Daughter of Vladimir Kuzmin - Sonya
Regarding the youngest daughter of our hero, there is negligible information from the consecrated press. The daughter of Vladimir Kuzmin, Sonya, is the youngest daughter among the children from the singer’s first marriage, and the girl is also the only living daughter from the same marriage.
Sonya was born in 1985. Deciding to follow in the footsteps of her star parent, she became a singer, the public realized this when the girl got involved in a project called “Star Factory.” This was the third season of a Russian television music project to support young performers. There is no more information about the musician’s daughter in the public domain, and even if there is, it is only at the level of rumors, gossip and possible discussions.
Carnival
— Alexander, could you say a few words about the date of birth of “Carnival”? Alexander Barykin: — It’s difficult to pinpoint the day. Autumn 1979. On November 11 this year we celebrated our anniversary. And we started working at the Saltykovsky restaurant near Moscow. At the same time, Vladimir Kuzmin from “Gems”, myself and bass guitarist Evgeny Kazantsev from “Merry Fellows”, and drummer Vladimir Boldyrev from Raymond Pauls’ group “Modo” from Riga left the vocal and instrumental ensembles. We all sat down in the restaurant to make our group. The restaurant was a temporary thing because we just needed somewhere to play. We worked on the restaurant program in different languages and at the same time created our repertoire for the 1980 Olympic Games. The songs were composed in English, because we thought that guests would come to us and we would jump out with our English program for this occasion. When the “cleansing” of the population of Moscow was underway: currency traders, prostitutes and other “unreliable” people in Moscow during the Olympics were arrested, they were expelled in thousands beyond the city limits. And we came under this attack because we gave underground concerts. They took our Komsomol producers by the ass and advised us all to leave Moscow. In Moscow we worked in a cool restaurant, the Central House of Tourists. Before our expulsion, we managed to record a minion and left for Riga during the Olympics. They stayed there all summer until the Games ended. It was a very difficult year, a leap year. Then Vladimir Vysotsky, Josip Broz Tito (Tito, Josip Broz) President of Yugoslavia - “ D ”), Joe Dassin (French singer, composer - “ D ”) died. We received all this terrible news while sitting in Riga.

Daily Biysk
Alexander Alexandrovich Barykin Rock musician, singer, composer, guitarist Groups: “Jolly Guys”, “Carnival” Born: February 18, 1952 Died: March 26, 2011 (59 years old)
— What happened to “Carnival” after returning from Riga? — In the fall, we returned, worked in a restaurant for three months and went to the Tula Philharmonic for a program, because they needed a group that would take pictures from the so-called card indexes. The Philharmonic Society was sitting on the card index at that time and owed the state a lot of money. And groups like us took it away from them. We worked on this. We went to the Philharmonic with Kuzmin, because Boldyrev and Kazantsev (drummer and bassist) remained to work in the restaurant, they were afraid of the administrators, they had children. We weren’t afraid of anything, we went together, and we were ak (Soviet vocal and instrumental ensemble - “ D ”). They played the first part, and then accompanied us, because we performed with Kuzmin together, we came out as “Carnival”.
— How did it happen that you broke up with Vladimir Kuzmin? — In “Red Poppies” the musical director was the famous musician Yuri Chernavsky, the bassist was Sergei Ryzhov, and Yuri Kitaev was the drummer. A “secret council” took place: they gathered quietly from me and Kuzmin in the room and decided to go to the Tashkent Philharmonic. When I arrived for the rehearsal in Tula, none of them were there. Half of the “Red Poppies” went with Kuzmin to Tashkent to work as “Carnival”. Then I rebelled and went to the director of the Philharmonic, Mikhailovsky, who was a very cool person. He was very close to the Minister of Culture Furtseva, as well as to Demicheva, who replaced her. Through serious negotiations, we left the name “Carnival” in Tula.
I quickly recruited a new line-up: Ruslan Gorobets, who was then the leader of Alla Pugacheva for 16 years, Andrey Vypov, my Lyubertsy fellow countryman, a super class guitarist, came from “Six Young”, drummer Alexander Akinin, nickname “Leshy”, and Alexander Kalyanov, today artist who was our sound engineer at the time. Kalyanov was the best director in the USSR.
We create a program in a week, and the name “Carnival” is taken away from the “secret conspiracy.” Secret conspiracy - who is it? Chernavsky, Ryzhov, Kitaev and Kuzmin. What’s most interesting is that I worked with my guys for almost six years, and after three months the people from the “secret conspiracy” abandoned Kuzmin and went to “Jolly Fellows” (Soviet and Russian ensemble - “ D ”), and made “Banana Islands” there.
And Vladimir Kuzmin was left alone. He called his brother, who came to “rescue” him. Together they formed the group “Dynamik” (Soviet rock group - “ D ”), and recruited the lineup for another six months, when we were already working. What does this mean? The truth will always be on the side of the one who is right. The truth was on my side. They abandoned Kuzmin literally three months later, leaving him in shock - he left me, he was left alone.
But he and his brother made “Dynamic”. Then they went to America, rode around a little, they didn’t feel happy here... But we worked normally - “Carnival” thundered throughout the country. They made hits “Miracle Island”, “Lifebuoy” and others, which spread all over the country. We made a rock and roll program and worked with it. We mostly went to Siberia: Irkutsk, Omsk, Tomsk, Krasnoyarsk, where we formed large fan clubs, and we were very famous there. Then we went to Belarus and Ukraine.
— How did you get on the “black list”? — After some time, the authorities found out that there were riots at our concerts, and the Ministry of Culture of the RSFSR began to slowly persecute us. In the end, in 1985 we were disbanded and prohibited from working throughout the country. We were saved by Makhmud Esambaev from the Grozny Philharmonic, we moved to him in Checheno-Ingushetia and worked in the south. This is how we saved Carnival. When we returned to Moscow in 1986, we were still not reinstated. Ruslan went to Pugacheva, everyone scattered to different places, Alexander Kalyanov and I began to make solo careers, and Alexander Akinin began to do business, selling some kind of fish. In short, everyone left. Besides Andrey Vypov and Valentin Ilyenko, my saxophonist. I immediately recruited a new good team. Alexey Smirnov from Nizhny Novgorod, who made the album “Steps”. Superman - he had a symphony orchestra, he conducted it, they played Schnittke and other serious things, and he himself was a great organist. He left the orchestra and went to Carnival. Smirnov made all the arrangements for the album “Steps”. A strong album with a circulation of 5 million. We received “three kopecks” for it. I received 800 rubles, and David Tukhmanov received 1,500 rubles. When perestroika began, I was already making “Hello, comrades” and “Bouquet” myself. Rock and roll seemed to have ended, although I played it, but I had to survive somehow. I became on my own. New people joined me, the lineup that played on November 11 at the band’s anniversary at Kristall in Moscow: Yuri Vilnin, Igor Shalnev, Alexander Filonenko - a drummer who played with me for three years. In 1987, they left Miguli, the Zerkalo group, as a whole team and came to me. I played with them until the beginning of 1992, until I got sick. I had thyroid surgery and everyone ran away because they couldn’t wait for me. I was recovering for about two years, they specifically forgot about me, and in 1993 I recorded my first album in a new incarnation, which was called “Russian Beach”. The album included the songs “Jamaica” and “Miracle Island”. I again slowly walked up the mountain and began to climb out. To become more established, I went to play football for the Starko team. Then they remembered me, that I was alive, healthy, that I was alive in the world. The Orthodox Church helped me, I went to the springs, bathed, prayed in monasteries, and everything was restored to me. The Lord restored everything. And I'm still working.
— Did you play in “Carnival” with your son? — With Georgy (Georgy “Gosha” Barykin - “ D ”) we made “Carnival” and worked together throughout the 90s. From 1993 to 2001. Consider that you worked with your son for nine years. And now he has made his own project. The last line-up fell apart because people wanted to create their own English-speaking group, and they were great musicians. They left, but nothing worked out for them, now they work in different places. I put together a new “Carnival” and for two years now I have been working with Valentin Ilyenko, Andrei Vypov - saxophonist, Alexander Filonenko, I play the guitar myself, that is, those who were with me in 1980. Upon my call, they all got together, rehearsed and played together. At the Carnival anniversary, we stood in front, and this made people wildly delighted, and the team that stood behind set the rhythm. It was great! Also with us at the anniversary of “Carnival” were “Moral Code”, “Bravo”, “Dynamic” with Vladimir Kuzmin, we sang a couple of songs with him, and there was Alexander Kutikov with the group “Nuance”.
— Alexander, could you tell us how the reconciliation took place with Vladimir Kuzmin, who left you at one time? - Yes, two or three years later we were drinking together. And then we played football together at Starko. From 1993 to 2000. We traveled to different countries and performed together. So we remained friends. All these things, compared to family life, are such rubbish, such an easy quarrel. Living in a family is much more difficult - divorces. The music still needs to be inside. People change - you remain. God willing, you do what you do. Kuzmin is a cool person, I respect him, he is a super musician. And he respects me. So what can I say? This is not a family with a husband and wife. Two men, Christmas trees, each with a lot in their heads. It’s even better that there are two groups. It's better for the people! One went there, the other went there. And everyone is super popular. One group played rhythm and blues, another played New Weiss, and so on.
— Many wonderful guitarists have played with you throughout the history of Carnival. Who would you say is the most technical guitarist? — The best guitarist is Andrey Vypov. In general, I think that he is the best in Europe. The first guitarist, he is from my city, taught me to play the guitar as a child. At the age of 21, when he came out of the army, he was already playing jazz in Oleg Lungstrem’s orchestra, when 40-year-old men were sitting there. Then he taught jazz at the Gnessin School, I pulled him out of there, he began to play jazz-rock. Nowadays there is only one player who plays hard rock. Satriani (Joseph "Joe" Satriani), Steve Morse (Steven J. Morse) ... He is a cool guitarist, plays anything - classical, jazz. He’s just not well-known; he’s only known from Carnival.
He plays in Moscow clubs alone, people go crazy. It costs five guitars, and he works such miracles! Worked in Paris, Switzerland. One travels and works by invitation. In Moscow he is called both as a session guitarist and as a “solaki” (playing solo). It’s just that this kind of person doesn’t move himself. There are such people - talented, but without a streak of adventurism. He just plays for fun, he’s 54 years old, and he’s like a kid, about 35.
Illegitimate daughters of Vladimir Kuzmin - Nicole and Marta
The period from 1985 to 1987 was very eventful for the musician; in those years, Vladimir gave birth to two girls. Vladimir Kuzmin’s illegitimate daughters – Nicole and Martha, whom the musician admitted were born from different women. Martha was born on International Women's Day - March 8, 1986. Actually, that’s why the girl was named “Martha.” The girl’s mother is Irina Miltsina, that’s all the information about Marta.
Another daughter born out of wedlock is Nicole. The girl was raised and raised by her grandmother, who lived in the American “City of Angels”. The composer learned about the existence of his daughter only 26 years after the girl’s birth.
Vladimir Kuzmin’s brother Alexander: “The wedding was postponed due to coronavirus”
Recently, the media reported that singer Vladimir Kuzmin returned to his former wife Ekaterina. Vladimir has a brother, Alexander, a musician, author of musical works, who devoted many years to working together with Vladimir Kuzmin in the group “Dynamic”. Alexander Kuzmin told KP that he also had changes in his personal life.
“I divorced my wife Elena, with whom I lived for 8 years,” shared Alexander Kuzmin . – I have never cheated on my wife, despite the presence of a large number of fans around me throughout my entire creative life. My ex-wife did not believe in my fidelity. Hoping to catch me with my mistress, and not finding me, she became furious and found another reason to get rid of me. She called the police, accusing me of beating me, after which I had to sit in a cold prison cell for 24 hours. I think that she planned the separation in advance and was looking for a reason, since she came to “catch” me with my mistress already with divorce documents.
Elena kicked me out of our apartment almost the same way I was born - naked. I was left on the street alone with myself, spent the night on benches and even in a taxi. She got rid of me immediately after my mission in her life ended - the family mortgage was paid off and European-quality renovations were completed, including with the participation of the money of my brother Vladimir Kuzmin.
It’s not in my nature to cling to material wealth, and I didn’t argue with her. Her betrayal was a blow to me. The very first thing I did was buy a phone to call my friends and ask for help. Friends took me in. One friend gave me the keys to her small house near Ryazan, where I came to my senses and tried to understand what had happened. Apparently, it was the will of the universe so that I could be “born” again.
But, you know, life is so fair that I met a charming girl, Natasha, who drives me crazy.
And we met her by chance. And to be honest, it was even scary...
Photo: Personal archive of the publication’s hero
Trying to get out of the monastic conditions of existence, I called a friend and told, as if in spirit, about my adventures. And he immediately replied: “Come.” I stayed with him for several days in “reanimation” mode. One day, during evening tea, he said that his girlfriend would come to him. And... well, this is scary! I left my friend’s apartment with this girl, one might say, she took me with her, and since then we have not parted. I probably did such an ugly thing - I stole Natasha from my friend. After this I lost a friend, but found love. But... I hope they will forgive us... With Natasha, I found those feelings that I have never had in my life, we are happy. There are so many emotions, feelings, I want to fly on wings and create.
Natasha is a miracle. My girl, my happiness. I am a musician, and every day I write her a new song. On a creative high. I fell in love without memory! Of course, I am guilty before my friend. But this feeling that revealed itself to me is the strongest, it’s impossible to argue with it! Natasha is nearby now. She will tell you...
“My man and I have been together for more than seven years,” Natasha enters into the conversation. — He is also a creative person. But it so happened that Sasha Kuzmin burst into my life, and, without asking me, he decided everything himself. That's all. And he didn’t let me go again. When I saw him, I saw only him, and it was as if everything around me went out of focus, and I forgot. That's how it all happened. I think this only happens in movies. Firstly, he and I are both Scorpios and were born on the same day, October 30th, 12 years apart. Two lights! We get along great even without words, weaving romance into every second.
“We are now setting up our creative nest in a private house five minutes from Moscow and making many plans,” says Alexander Kuzmin. “Natasha opened up new feelings in me, life shone with the brightest colors. I didn't even know it was possible to love like that. Maybe it was worth going through the tests for the sake of this happiness?!
I never thought that my wife would betray me like this. And after that, my feelings with Natasha, such a delicate nature, are a completely different topic. She is a completely different bee. And I just want to burn what was behind. And never return to this again.
Wedding in Thailand
- Natasha will be my wife - she will be Natasha Kuzmina. By the way, that was my mother’s name,” says Alexander Kuzmin. – We planned a wedding for March in the Kingdom of Thailand, but due to the current situation with coronavirus, we are forced to postpone it.
— Thailand is a very clean country. The whole country is meditating there. There, the purity of the relationship is immediately visible. And if people are not pure in front of each other, many obstacles will be created to the wedding ceremony,” says Natalya. — I lived there for 8 years. It’s a unique country, it’s warm and people smile. I arrived there “frostbitten” in Moscow style. Thailand “broke” me, warmed me and “took” out of me all my good feelings for everything worldly. We all have some kind of turning points in our lives. First we are on horseback, and then we walk. And these are the paths that led me to Buddhist temples. I realized what the joy of life is, regardless of material things, and at the moment I am only interested in this independence. Maybe that’s why everything worked out for Sasha and me.
You know, when people get married for the first time at the age of 18, they are told: “Together in sorrow and in joy, hold hands and go.” And over time, people forget about this, degrade, they are spoiled by society and time. But in adulthood, people return to this, they begin to understand the words that the presenter tells them at the registry office.
Sasha and I absolutely consciously walk forward, holding hands. We want to hold a ceremony in the temple with the monks, when they are tied with threads and everything else...
And of course, not without officially registering the marriage.
I trust Thailand. And if Sasha does not run away from the wedding ceremony, then we will stay together forever!
- So we'll go to California! – Kuzmin laughs . – Although I lived in America for 20 years, and it’s no longer interesting to me. I am interested in my new love, the new emotions that are associated with it.
- We can go anywhere! – Natalya assents. – Maybe you will have to conduct your next report from a desert island, where Sasha and I, grimy, will make fire from stones, and we will see where our fantasies and our love will take us. We ourselves don’t know where we’ll be... And that doesn’t matter. We love life. And in the middle of the journey, as a rule, people find certain paths along which they like to walk. Our path has grown into a huge path along which Alexander and I are now going to walk, run and walk.

— Alexander writes music. And you, Natalya, what do you do? – I ask my chosen one Kuzmin.
— I began my acquaintance with music in my youth, when my mother sent me to a music school to study cello. More than 10 years ago I was thrown into show business and I started working with artists and organizing concerts. Living in Thailand, I also worked with artists as a concert director and more. Let’s say I can say that in 2012 Diana Arbenina was lying in my bed, yes!
“Night Snipers” shot a video for the song “Yes. This is how life begins" in Thailand in my house, all the work of organizing filming fell on my fragile shoulders from the selection of locations and props to the provision of film equipment for filming, security and everything else.
And recently, for example, I went to the hero city of Voronezh with a wonderful hero of all times - with Sergei Selin, this is Dukalis from “Street of Broken Lanterns”.
You can name a lot of names... I sell artists, so to speak.
- In fact, Natasha is embarrassed to say about herself - she has great song verses. And she has a gorgeous voice,” adds Alexander . “She just doesn’t want to advertise it.” At the moment she doesn’t need it, and then - everything can be...
— Now I enjoy Sasha’s music. Sasha writes me poems and songs every day! He sings to me every evening, I’m telling you that! – says Natalya.
- Yes, a song or poem every day - this is in our marriage contract! - Alexander laughs.
— Then I will publish a book about the work of Alexander Kuzmin. And it will be called “Life Story”. In his poems, he writes what he feels and what passes in a certain period of time. Let's say - day, night... What he feels is what he writes. Creative person! He composes songs wherever the mood strikes him... in the forest on a stump, in the bathroom, anywhere...
— Maybe you’ll organize his concerts?
— Of course, there will be concerts. I will definitely notify everyone about this. I will seduce him, persuade him to a creative evening, and at the moment we are preparing several joint creative projects. I really want to organize an evening of his work. What he creates, people need to hear. He hides a lot of wonderful musical things. By the way, he is very modest about this. We have conceived such a “house of love and creativity” with a stage and stage lights, where we will invite the same creative and positive people to visit.
People who produce something from themselves - poems, songs, music - they, first of all, want to express themselves, can always come to visit our “execution place” at the fire. And there is another option when musicians write to a template in order to earn money. Sasha writes non-standard from the heart; many of his songs do not fit the “commercial” format for sale. And I want to convey his work to people. And I want people to hear what Sasha wants to convey. And of course, like any musician, he can write a song to order on any topic. In addition to composing music and lyrics for songs, Sasha makes arrangements and records songs himself in our professional home studio.
“We came up with our secret closed door, which they will knock on, but we will not open,” says Alexander Kuzmin.
“We won’t open it, but if they knock in the rhythm that we hear, then the door will open, of course!” – Natalya adds. – At the same time, we try to preserve sacred things.
“In general, Natasha and I often talk in poetry,” Alexander joins in again, as if on roll call. – Because otherwise it’s boring and not interesting.
- Alexander, is Natalya to you like Yoko is to John Lennon?
- Well, let's start with the fact that Yoko Ono was seven years older. And my girl is 12 years younger. This is also important. Because this young ardor of the soul that comes from her inspires and excites me. And she and I, in my opinion, are in such a balance. Yes, baby? (addressing Natalya).
- Yes! And we feel great. Our house is like that of monks.
Material values disappear. The monks say, “you don’t need a chair to sit down.” People are very dependent on many things.
I remember my childhood, when Volodya and I did not think about what fate awaited us and where our “music” would take us. We were absolutely unselfish in front of each other, sharing in half the love of our parents, toys, music, and girlfriends. And now I feel exactly the same as in childhood, free and easy, I feel good.
People often find each other because of something, for something. They love you for something. Let's say, if you have palaces, then they will be friends with you. It's rare to find people who don't look at it. In the middle or at the end of the journey, you realize that material values are not important. If you are a creative person, then creativity is important. Because at the end of the journey you ask yourself: “Who am I?”, and that’s it.
—Are you planning to have children?
— We decided that at such a wonderful age as ours (I’m 46 years old) we’ll live for ourselves. I have a daughter, she is 24 years old. Sasha also has children... We have a small red dog, her name is Pancake. She will be our child.
“Yes, who sleeps on my neck,” Kuzmin smiles. — By the way, Natasha and I were also united by the fact that we were both hermits in this life and, finally, in this kingdom of loneliness we found each other. This is a coincidence that I could not find for many years. As a creative person, this was very necessary for me. It turned out that my beloved girl also missed it. In the first seconds when we saw each other, we fell in love. And the feelings are such that they just splash... I am completely immersed in this. This is simply unique.
Of course, I understand that many people are probably interested in my brother Vladimir Kuzmin, and not me. Although he and I have worked together a lot, we are both musicians. It just became popular and everyone knows about it. And I went into the shadows, but I continue to live in music and in music. My songs, for example, are performed by Nikolai Baskov, Sumishevsky, Kalyanov and other singers...

And I will be very pleased if your publication congratulates me on my upcoming wedding - Sasha Kuzmin is not missing, I am here and happy!
By the way, my brother, People’s Artist Vladimir Kuzmin, will soon celebrate his 65th birthday. I love him very much, I always worry about him and I want to wish him spiritual harmony, simple human happiness. I want to wish him true love from close people who love him not for his fame and money, but for his wonderful human qualities. I wish him to be loved in sorrow and in joy, in wealth and in poverty, to live another hundred years and delight the public with his new musical hits. I’ll tell you a secret, I’m going to congratulate my brother on his anniversary in an unusual way, but I won’t tell you how yet!
The ex-wife of Vladimir Kuzmin - Tatyana Artemyeva
The musician has a unique ability to charm women, and therefore he tied himself to marriage more than once. The first ex-wife of Vladimir Kuzmin is Tatyana Artemyeva. The woman was an excellent poetess, thanks to this, not a single text was written for Vladimir’s songs.
The couple lived together for almost a decade and over the years, they had three children. And the reason for the breakup was problems in everyday life, as well as the musician’s addiction to alcoholic beverages. Tatyana is not at all angry with her ex-husband, in fact, like his other women.
Career
Soon Kuzmin is noticed by the capital's government, and he is nominated to the position of first deputy, and then first deputy chairman of the city's Urban Planning Committee. L.V. Vavakin, who then held the post of chief architect of Moscow, immediately noticed in Kuzmin an extraordinary specialist and manager.
Even then, Alexander Viktorovich began to put forward ideas about a large-scale restructuring of the main city of the country; according to the architect, at that time Moscow practically did not live up to its high status. Soon he got the opportunity to bring his projects to life; in 1996, by decree of the mayor of the capital Yuri Luzhkov, A.V. Kuzmin was appointed chief architect of the city.
Former wives of Vladimir Kuzmin - Kelly Curzon and Vera Sotnikova
The next marriage relationship of the famous musician lasted only two years. The next marriage partner was American top model Kelly Curzon. Apart from this, nothing more is known.
Vera Sotnikova is the third wife of the legendary composer. It is worth noting the fact that the third marriage became civil. Vera is closely connected with the world of cinema, as she was an actress and also a presenter on television. After seven years of marriage, the couple decides to separate. The ex-wives of Vladimir Kuzmin, Kelly Curzon and Vera Sotnikova, are not at all angry with their ex-husband.
Vladimir Kuzmin's wife - Ekaterina Trofimova
This is already the fourth marriage for the composer and it is worth noting that he is very happy in it. Vladimir Kuzmin’s wife, Ekaterina Trofimova, is twenty-seven years younger than her husband, but this fact did not become an obstacle in their life. The couple loves each other very much.
Another love of Vladimir is love with alcoholic drinks, because of which family ties were under great threat, even on the verge of destruction, but despite this, his young beloved is still close to the composer.
There are many rumors about plastic surgeries that Vladimir had done so that his face would not be wrinkled and he would at least somewhat match the image of his wife.

But he has an account on Twitter, where you can find fresh photographic materials from Vladimir’s creative life, as well as exclusive videos. In addition, anyone can ask questions or leave a wish for the celebrity.
