Childhood and youth of Marina Khlebnikova
Marina Arnoldovna Khlebnikova was born on November 6, 1965 in the village of Dolgoprudny, Moscow region. Both his father, Arnold Sergeevich Khlebnikov, and his mother, Irina Vasilievna Maltseva, were radiophysicists and worked for the defense industry. It would seem that such serious work has nothing to do with art and show business, and therefore, the future star had no one to inherit creative genes from. However, this couple of radio physicists had a common hobby - music. Arnold Sergeevich played the guitar well, and Irina Vasilievna played the piano. Marina’s parents indulged in their favorite pastime in their free time, playing for their own pleasure and for loved ones at family and friendly celebrations. But sometimes a talented married couple agreed to perform at amateur art evenings that took place from time to time in Dolgoprudny.

The daughter of techie parents also had technical inclinations and a love for the exact sciences. Unlike most girls, Marina simply adored such a seemingly purely “male” subject as physics. Because of this, the girl seriously thought about becoming a metallurgist. But Khlebnikova did not lag behind in other subjects, moreover, she was an excellent student. But in the end, my creative streak prevailed.
Marina Khlebnikova young
While studying in high school, Marina participated in the school theater and played many roles in amateur productions, mainly based on the works of classics - Pushkin, Gogol, Moliere. She not only portrayed the characters and spoke their lines, but also performed most of the vocal parts in the plays and danced. The girl treated everything related to acting in an amateur theater very responsibly and truly enjoyed the process. All this made Khlebnikova think for the first time about forever connecting her life with creativity.

Along with secondary school, Marina also attended music school. It is curious that at first the future artist did not at all like mastering the intricacies of musical notation and other disciplines at music school. But after some time, she became interested in her studies and began to dream of a stage career. Very soon the girl felt capable of creating her own creative team. Gathering like-minded peers around her, Khlebnikova organized them into an ensemble called “Marinade”. The young artists performed songs from the repertoire of world-famous groups: ABBA, Queen, The Beatles and other prominent representatives of show business. The teenagers did not disdain to perform songs of Soviet stars - Alexander Barykin and Yuri Antonov.
Having firmly decided that she would become an artist, Marina Khlebnikova, after graduating from high school, entered the Gnessin School. There her teachers were the biggest Soviet pop stars: Alexander Gradsky, Joseph Kobzon , Lev Leshchenko . Having successfully completed her studies at the school, the girl continued to improve at the Gnessin Institute. In this educational institution, our heroine first chose the piano department, and only then was able to transfer to the just opened department of pop singing. It is noteworthy that Marina graduated from the Gnessin Institute with two specialties at the same time - pop music and piano, thus receiving two corresponding diplomas. They were presented to her by Joseph Kobzon, who was then not only a teacher at Gnesinka, but also a dean.
Mom's pride
Marina and Anton did not have any children together, although when the artist was studying at the Gnesin Institute and had only a year left before her diploma, she became pregnant. However, between the baby and the singer’s career, she chose the latter, which she later, of course, greatly regretted. Fortunately, she did not terminate her second pregnancy from Mikhail Maidanich. True, she worked until the very end. Even in the ninth month she continued to go on stage, and after giving birth, she did not stay on maternity leave for long. By the way, Dominica developed an excellent relationship with Anton Loginov, who spent a lot of time with her. At the age of 12, the girl even asked her mother a non-childish question: “Are you sure my dad is not Anton?” Although the biological father did not deprive the child of care and attention.
Today, the artist’s heiress is already 20 years old, and Khlebnikova can talk endlessly about her daughter. Unlike her mother, Nika did not conquer the stage, but decided to study economics, programming and business. Currently the girl is studying in London. Marina herself has repeatedly emphasized that her daughter, like Anton Loginov, helped her a lot during her illness.

Carier start
While studying at Gnesinka, Marina Khlebnikova was not limited to purely mastering theory and did not wait until completion of her studies to start working. She began to practice, and very actively, while still a student. Her first place of work was the “Doctor Jazz” ensemble, performing compositions in the jazz style. But the talented girl did not stay there for long. Soon she was noticed by one of the most influential Russian producers, Bari Alibasov , and the heroine’s rapid ascent to the star Olympus began.

Marina went to work in the Integral group, then Bari Karimovich transferred her to his brainchild Na-Na. Participation in this group became an invaluable experience for the artist. Khlebnikova became so skilled with the “Nanais” that, after leaving the group and ending her working relationship with Bari Alibasov, she began her solo career without any problems.

1991 - Marina Khlebnikova participates in the Yalta-91 competition and receives second prize there. The young singer performed two songs there: “Winter” and “Paradise in a Hut.” Next, the girl rushed to conquer foreign audiences - she went to an international music competition in Austria, in the city of Bregenz, and won there. Such significant achievements gave a good impetus to the artist’s further activities, and she set about writing new songs and performing them with renewed vigor. In 1993, Khlebnikova had such a large repertoire that it was possible to create and release her first solo album from it. It was called “Ogonyok” and consisted of hits, among which the most memorable to listeners were “Rains”, “Random Love”, “I Wouldn’t Say”. Following the release of the album, clips of the singer appear. Director Mikhail Makarenkov created them for the songs “Hali-Gali”, “Carousel” and “Stay”.

Video clips were shot for the songs from it “Yellow Sand” and “Don’t Leave Me Alone” (in another version it was called “Wolf Song”), and the composition “Bili-Bom” itself was released as a maxi-single.

Music by Marina Khlebnikova
An artist is a person whose life must be divided separately into being and separately into creativity. We've dealt with the first one, now let's talk about music, about the work of this talented woman. After all, Marina Khlebnikova’s albums deserve special attention. During her performances, the singer released nine albums. Among them are such famous records as “A Cup of Coffee”, “Paradise in a Hut”, “Night Flight”, “Photo Album” and “Stay”. They are all different, with different compositions that give a smile, a feeling of compassion, a dream and love.
Listening to Khlebnikova’s music is a pleasure: it fills you with feelings, makes you forget about the past, dream about the future and rethink the present. Even though this is ordinary “pop”, which is performed by hundreds of singers, there is something special, perfect, indescribably romantic in it.
Career blossoming
But real success awaited the singer in 1997, when she sang her “Cup of Coffee.” This cheerful, playful song sounded and delighted listeners everywhere, not only in Russia, but throughout the CIS. Very soon the album of the same name appeared and took fourth place in sales in Russia. At the end of 1997, Khlebnikova won the “Song of the Year” with “A Cup of Coffee” and won the “Golden Gramophone” and the “Hit-FM” radio station award in the “Stopudovy Hit” category.

This was followed by the release of several more solo albums and another Golden Gramophone award. In addition, Marina Khlebnikova was nominated three times for the Ovation Award in the Singer of the Year category, but luck did not smile on her, and all three nominations did not end in receiving the coveted title.

February 1998 was marked for our heroine with her large-scale concert in a large metropolitan entertainment complex - the Moscow Youth Palace. Then nine of Khlebnikova’s songs were combined into one film, “Rains,” lasting forty minutes. Also in 1998, two labels, Media-Star and Soyuz, created their own joint music and television project and, among other things, released the release of Khlebnikova’s concert video album “Living Collection.” In the new millennium, in 2001, this album was re-released.

Also in those years, several new video clips of the artist appeared: “Me Without You,” “What a Movie It Was,” “My General,” “My Sunshine, Get Up!” In February 2005, Khlebnikova released another album, “Cats of My Soul,” which became the last studio work of this format, at least for now. It consisted of the songs “Summer”, “Northern”, “My Sorrow”, which were loved by the public of those years, and Marina’s duet with the rock singer and leader of the group “Rondo” Alexander Ivanov “Friends”. That album also included the composition “Winter Comes on Its Own,” which brought its performer victory at the “Song of the Year 2002” festival. At this festival, Khlebnikova won once more - in 2004 with the song “Northern”.

Marina’s creative biography includes not only solo stage performances. In a duet with rocker Alexander Ivanov, the singer recorded the song “Friends”.

In addition, the singer’s voice sounded on the radio on the frequency of the Mayak and Retro FM stations. In the television competition “Stairway to Heaven” and in the project “Street of Your Destiny”, Marina tried her hand at being a presenter.
Other activities
In the second half of the 2000s, Marina Khlebnikova began to appear on stage much less frequently than before. The woman switched to another activity and began to try herself in various other directions. For example, the singer appeared in the role of a radio and television presenter. In these areas, it was implemented on the Mayak radio station (hosted the Fortuna program) and the TVC television channel. Most of all, she was remembered by the audience for her participation as the host of the television singing competition “Stairway to Heaven” on the RTR channel, popular in the late nineties and early two thousand. You can also mention the program “Street of Your Destiny” on TV Center, which was also hosted by our heroine. In addition to all of the above, from Marina Khlebnikova’s radio activities it is worth remembering her voice acting of jingles for the radio station “Retro FM” , which she was engaged in until 2012.
Marina Arnoldovna also tried herself in a somewhat eccentric role. She participated in the recording of several songs by the underground Russian group “X... forget.” True, she performed there not under her real name, but under the pseudonym “Marya Artisan”. When the musical program “Blue Light” (REN-TV channel) appeared on TV screens on a holiday night from 2004 to 2005, viewers were able to see the group “X... forget” and Marina Khlebnikova jointly performing the song “Talalikhin.”
Our heroine was also an actress. She has eight films to her credit, in which Khlebnikova plays episodic roles. Her most significant film works can be considered the musical film “Old Songs about the Main Thing. Postscript" (New Year's TV project) and the series "Department". The singer also used her voice to narrate an audiobook. Her work in this genre was the audiobook “Two hundred little rhymes for kindergarten” based on poems by poetess Tatyana Shapiro. The work was published in 2014.
Popular actors
What happened to singer Marina Khlebnikova? She was born in 1965 and at the time of writing this article she was only 53 years old, but lately she, unfortunately, has been looking, to put it mildly, not at all very good. Marina Khlebnikova herself was tired of hearing speculation about her lifestyle and described the story of her greatest love in the magazine “Caravan of Stories.” I read this story, and also watched various interviews with the singer. And what conclusion did I come to?
The life of Marina Khlebnikova initially followed a rather different scenario.
Marina was the only, beloved daughter of her parents; they were radiophysicists by profession; the family lived in the town of Dolgoprudny near Moscow. Marina loved to play the piano, and, accordingly, she sang too, like many future singers, she picked up a comb and pretended to sing with a microphone.
After 8 grades, Khlebnikova entered the Hesse School, studied there to play the piano, it was difficult to study, she was small in height and weight, and the keys had to be not just touched, but put force into the pressure. But Marina decided not to give up, she trained 8 hours a day, her fingers cracked and bled, she lubricated them with medical glue and continued to play.
After the Hesse School, Khlebnikova entered the Hesse Institute, where she continued her studies in playing string-percussion-keyboard instruments. At the same time, she studied at the pop department, sang jazz, blues, rock, and classical works. That is, initially she did not want to be a pop singer, but very quickly it became clear that in order to be on the crest of the wave, she needed to sing to please the public, who with much more enthusiasm perceived the songs in two swats, two tramps.
But Marina Khlebnikova was ready to sing even simple melodies, just to be realized in her profession.
Everything went smoothly without a hitch. In my personal life, everything was going well too. Marina Khlebnikova met a wonderful guy - musician Anton Loginov, a real knight who was ready to help his lady love at any time of the day or night. Anton Loginov was not rich, but he was very handsome and was ready to devote his life to his princess, besides, his hands grew from the right place; he could fix, glue, repair, assemble - he could do everything, but not an oligarch. Marina Khlebnikova was happy with her common-law husband, she seemed to have nothing to reproach him with, but after 10 years of marriage, the singer met and fell in love with someone else, a new feeling overwhelmed her.
Wealthy Mikhail Maydanich courted beautifully and in style, he was four years younger than Marina, he became a good husband, but in terms of courtesy and gallantry, he could not surpass Anton Loginov.
Soon, Marina and Mikhail had a daughter, Dominika, and the singer became a mother at the age of 34. She could have had a child with Anton Loginov, but then she was graduating from college and was not ready for motherhood, so she had an abortion, which she later regretted very much, but what’s done is done. And so the marriage with the father of the daughter was covered with a copper basin. Mikhail Maidanovich turned out to be a swindler; somehow, because of him, artists who wanted to take advantage of the opportunities of his recording studio lost money. Well, Anton Loginov continued to be there all the time and became the best friend for little Dominica, who seriously began to believe that he was her real father.
Time passed, Marina Khlebnikova had another bright affair with a certain handsome businessman, this love again did not bring her the desired happiness.
As a result, having gone through fire, water and copper pipes, Marina Khlebnikova returns under the wing of the faithful and reliable Anton Loginov. But the happiness was short-lived; the man had a stroke, then a second, a third. And in order not to wait for the moment when he turns into a problem for his beloved woman, he decides to leave for another world ahead of time. The death of her husband greatly undermined the health of Marina Khlebnikova. It was not just a punch in the gut, it was like a tsunami that destroyed everything in its path. Marina Khlebnikova fell into despondency, she even went to the clinic, but what can I say, she left the stage, could no longer sing, became a recluse for a whole year, fans began to forget about the singer.
And so colleagues began to sound the alarm when they saw Marina Khlebnikova on air on Andrei Malakhov’s program. Marina Khlebnikova denied the guesses of friends and acquaintances; she claims that she is sick with some serious illness, which she fell ill with after another visit to the dentist.
She does not want to announce the diagnosis. Well, judging by the latest videos with the singer, we can conclude that she has lost a lot of weight, but despite this, she takes care of her appearance: her manicure is fresh, her outfits are beautiful, the skin of her hands and neck is well-groomed.
After everyone started writing that something bad was happening to Marina Khlebnikova, the singer decided to pull herself together. She began to eat better and even gained a few pounds. After which she stopped looking like a dried mummy.
Marina Khlebnikova is still very, very young, people still remember her songs, the artist needs to seriously take care of her health, both physical and mental, stop reproaching herself for the passing of her husband Anton Loginov and continue to live. After all, this is still far from the end; there may be many more interesting things ahead. Organizers of all kinds of concerts are ready to invite Marina Khlebnikova; on the Internet you can find videos where you can see that the singer performs in different cities of the country, the audience sings along with her, applauds, and admires her voice and talent. So everything is in Marina’s hands! She is a smart, wise, beautiful, talented woman, but what does all this falling in love with the wrong men lead to? How often life goes downhill because of them. But the same one was nearby! Appreciate the best that you already have! And perhaps you will be happy for many, many years!

Personal life
Little is known about Marina Khlebnikova’s personal life. Despite her star status and many years in show business - an environment full of rumors and gossip - there is no extensive information about the men of this artist. It is a fact that the singer was married twice, but both marriages were carefully hidden from the general public; they became known about them several years later.

The first time Marina married Anton Loginov, a bass guitarist in one of her own bands. One can only guess how the relationship between the spouses developed in this union. However, the press received information that in 2020, many years after breaking up with Khlebnikova, the man committed suicide.

The artist’s second husband was Mikhail Igorevich Maydanich, a businessman and general director of a record company. He was born on May 15, 1969, that is, in this marriage the husband is a little younger than his wife. From this man, Marina Khlebnikova gave birth to her only child, daughter Dominica, in 1999.

Husbands, divorce, daughter
Marina Khlebnikova very carefully hides her personal life. It is very difficult to find out anything from this area of \u200b\u200bher “activity”. Marina Khlebnikova, whose biography leaves much behind closed doors, still admits that she had two husbands. The first is Anton Loginov, the second is Mikhail Maydanich, with whom she is happy to this day.
From her marriage to Mikhail, the woman gave birth to a daughter, Dominica, in 1999. For a very long time, the couple hid the information that they had a child. For her fans, Marina has always been a free, sultry beauty who did not allow any man to take possession of her heart. However, there is nothing secret. And information leaked to the press that Khlebnikova was not only a “twice wife,” but also an excellent mother.
Today it is already known where Dominica studies, what she looks like, but it remains a mystery why a woman like Marina cannot talk openly about her personal life? Successful, beautiful, self-sufficient, she can not only tell everyone the truth, but also allow herself to embellish reality a little. As Khlebnikova herself says, she doesn’t need it. She does not want her loved one and daughter to become the property of the people. For him, she has creativity, and everything else belongs only to Marina.
Interesting Facts

The singer loves soft toys and collects them. Another passion of the woman is minerals, which she also collects, especially their unusual specimens. The pride of the artist’s mineral collection was rock crystal interspersed with precious metals – silver and gold.
Back in action
In August 2020, the name of Marina Khlebnikova appeared in literally all media. Alas, the reason why the artist temporarily returned to her former popularity was not a pleasant one: Anton Loginov committed suicide. Marina was grieving the loss of a loved one and ended up in the hospital. Already naturally slender, Khlebnikova began to literally melt before her eyes; she could not eat. If it weren’t for the vitamins that the doctors injected the singer, it is unknown how this story would have ended. The star blamed himself for the fact that Loginov passed away, because before the tragedy the man suffered a stroke three times. In one interview, Khlebnikova suggested that her ex-lover was very afraid of becoming a “burden” for her, which is why he committed suicide. However, she did not go into details of what happened.

During this difficult period of her life, her friends came to Marina’s aid; many of those with whom she stopped communicating during her illness got in touch again. Gradually, the singer of the hit “A Cup of Coffee” returned to work, began recording new musical material, and even plans to release a book of her poems and finish writing a thriller she had once started. Concerts, filming, business meetings and loved ones helped as much as doctors and medications. And although the star’s health still leaves much to be desired, she does not intend to give up. Khlebnikova says that she has “someone and something to live for.”

At the moment, Khlebnikova appears in public infrequently. She has not yet released new songs, much less albums, and has not acted in films since 2010. Her merits in the field of art were recognized - in 2002, Marina Arnoldovna was awarded the title of “Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.” Now this artist can most often be seen at some music festival dedicated to retro pop or other events where songs from past years are performed.
