Photos from his youth and now prove that he is not such a “natural blond” as is sung in one of his songs. In his youth, Nikolai Baskov was dark-haired.
Biography of Nikolai Baskov
The biography of Nikolai Baskov is very rich and interesting. Let's start with the fact that the singer is a native of the Moscow region. Father - Viktor Vladimirovich Baskov, military man, mother - Elena Nikolaevna Baskova, mathematics teacher. Nikolai Baskov is the only child in the family. Due to his father’s regular and long business trips, the Baskov family changed their place of residence many times.
At the age of two, Nikolai Baskov moved with his parents to the GDR. There he goes to school for the first time and even finishes two classes. Next - moving to my homeland, only to Novosibirsk, and not to Moscow.
Nikolai Baskov became interested in singing at the age of 5; it was during this period that the boy’s unusual and strong voice was noticed. While the family lives in Novosibirsk, Nikolai Baskov simultaneously studies at a music school, which he graduates with a gold medal.
Not many people know, but in his youth Nikolai Baskov even paid attention to sports and quite seriously. Then his hobby was speed swimming, in which the singer has a second rank.
Starting from the 8th grade, Nikolai Baskov studied at a Moscow school, where he studied music and choreography in depth.
At the age of 12, Nikolai Baskov had already visited many countries, thanks to his participation in the troupe of the Children's Musical Theater.
But the stage is a stage, and at home Kolya was an ordinary boy, an assistant.
Despite the work of both parents, there was little money for living. Because of this, Nikolai worked as best he could (selling perfumes on the street, speculation).
Baskov’s father rose to the rank of captain, and to receive the rank of general, he would have had to move again, but everything turned out differently. At this moment, the Baskov family receives a decent inheritance in the form of property from their deceased grandmother. Nikolai had just graduated from school, and his parents decided that the proceeds from the sale of the inheritance would be spent on a good education for their son.
In 1993, Nikolai Baskov successfully passed exams at GITIS as a musical theater actor. But he was not destined to graduate from college. An unfortunate incident occurred due to a disagreement between the singer and one of the GITIS teachers.
But, a year later, Nikolai Baskov becomes a student at the Gnessin School. In 2001, he finally received the long-awaited musical education, which immediately opened several doors to the future.
However, Nikolai Baskov began working in the choir at the age of 18. Thanks to an internship at the Bolshoi Theater, the singer reaps the first results of his work and gains popularity.
In parallel with the opera, the singer, together with his producer Alexander Morozov, goes on the big stage, performing pop hits. The operatic voice in modern compositions is the singer’s calling card, distinguishing him from other Russian pop singers.
In 2000, in St. Petersburg, Nikolai Baskov sang a duet with the legendary opera singer Monserat Caballe. This was a real event for Nikolai Baskov, which greatly impressed and inspired him.
The beginning of the 21st century brought success to Nikolai Baskov; he became in demand and popular. Over time, the singer also began to collaborate with foreign theaters, performing concerts in the States and many European cities.
Unfortunately, Nikolai Baskov did not manage to combine opera and stage for a long time; as soon as he achieved great success as a pop performer, his career in opera immediately began to collapse. Then, the singer managed to find a middle ground, paying attention to both musical directions.
Still, Nikolai Baskov’s fame and main income comes from his work in the field of pop culture. The most famous compositions by Nikolai Baskov are “Hurdy Organ”, “Let Me Go”, “You Are Far Away”. The latter were recorded together with Ukrainian singer Taisiya Povaliy and became hits on the Russian and Ukrainian stage.
Today Nikolai Baskov has many awards, bonuses and other achievements, which he is certainly proud of.
Key achievements
Nikolai Viktorovich Baskov is an opera and pop singer, widely known both in Russia and abroad. Nikolai Baskov’s creative biography began with performing on the professional stage at the age of 12; by the age of 21 he had already become a laureate of the All-Russian competition “Romansiada”, and a year later he won First Prize at the All-Russian competition of young opera singers.
The artist successfully performed at the Bolshoi Theater, and later began singing on the stage of Spanish opera houses. In Spain he was awarded Second Prize, participating in the Grande Voce competition. In Russia, the singer gained enormous fame and popularity after touring the country, as well as grandiose spectacular concerts of classical and pop music.
One of the most striking foreign performances of Nikolai Baskov was a concert at the Vienna Philharmonic in April 2011. Here in the Golden Hall he performed many classical arias and romances. In 2012, Nikolai shone on the stage of the Beacon Theater in New York, singing with a symphony orchestra.
The singer gained popularity in Russia as a pop performer and became no less famous as an opera singer. The result of his creative work was that he was awarded the title of People's Artist of Russia in May 2009. The singer received well-deserved recognition outside the country - since 2004 he has held the title of People's Artist of Ukraine, and in 2007 he was awarded the title of Master of Arts of Moldova. Fans call Nikolai the Golden Voice of Russia.
Since 2005, Nikolai Baskov’s songs have regularly won the national Golden Gramophone award, and he is also a regular participant in the annual “Song of the Year” concert. All this is evidence of his popularity in Russia.
In addition to performing on stage, Nikolai is also known as a host and participant in television shows. In addition, he is engaged in teaching, acting as a teacher at a famous domestic university.
Personal life of Nikolai Baskov
No less vibrant is the personal life of Nikolai Baskov. While still young and less popular, the singer falls in love with actress Natalya Gormushkina.
At the Gnessin School, Basque became interested in Maria Maksakova. In 2001, he met true love and tied the knot with Svetlana Shpigel. Having been married to a woman for 7 years, Nikolai and Maria divorce. The couple has a son together, but the famous and influential father of his ex-wife will force the singer to abandon his son without the right to visit. In return, Baskov will get his name and his career will not suffer. This became a real tragedy for Nikolai Baskov, because he sincerely fell in love with his son Bronislav.
In 2009, the public started talking about the singer’s affair with Miss Universe Oksana Fedorova. Many gossiped that this was not a relationship, but a PR stunt.
In 2011, the press reported news of the romance between Nikolai Baskov and Anastasia Volochkova. This time there was a relationship, as evidenced by numerous photos of the couple from their vacation, including those of a romantic nature. The singer himself claimed that he was fascinated by Nastya, but the two artists failed to get along, but he wishes her sincere happiness.
Afterwards, Nikolai Baskov had a three-year relationship with model Sofia Kalcheva, but in 2020 the couple broke up.
However, the singer did not grieve for long; by the end of 2020, he officially announced his engagement to model from Rostov Victoria Lopyreva. The celebration took place in the Chechen Republic, in the presence of head Ramzan Kadyrov. Although everyone was slightly dumbfounded by Nikolai Baskov’s choice, they were looking forward to the wedding. But more than half a year has passed, and the celebration has not taken place. The couple announced the postponement of the wedding date, but have not yet set a new one.
Family of Nikolai Baskov
Nikolai Baskov’s family is his parents, who gave their son everything he needed, including a good education and support. Later, the singer got married, and then became a father, thus creating his own family. Unfortunately, the marriage broke up, and son Bronislav now bears his mother’s surname. For Nikol Baskov, this topic is very painful, and therefore, he never gives comments on topics related to his unsuccessful marriage and his son, whom he cannot see.
Judging by Nikolai Baskov’s several attempts to get married, he is serious, which means he will soon become a family man again.
Children of Nikolai Baskov
If you are wondering, are there any children of Nikolai Baskov? Yes, there is a son from his first marriage. As it turned out, the man loves children, and, of course, loves his son, whom he cannot see. In rare photos of Basque with his son, which can be found on the Internet, he looks very happy. Many condemn the singer for failing to defend his right as a father, being afraid of his influential father-in-law. But Nikolai Baskov was afraid of losing his career, his bread, his life. Then he had to retreat.
Nikolai Baskov hopes that when Bronislav grows up and reaches his 18th birthday, he himself will want to communicate with his father, and no one has the right to stop him from doing this.
Son of Nikolai Baskov - Bronislav Shpigel
The only son of Nikolai Baskov is Bronislav Shpigel. It so happened that the divorce process dragged on and became a heavy burden for the singer. It was even harder because his ex-wife left for Israel and took her son Nikol Baskov with her. Later, it turned out that Bronislav now bears his mother’s maiden name (and before that he had a double one).
It's no secret that the famous opera and pop singer of Russia yearns for his blood. Bronislav called his stepfather, a businessman from Ukraine, whom Svetlana Shpigel married for the second time, dad.
Nikolai Baskov's 13-year-old son got rid of his star father's surname
That page in the life of the famous performer Nikolai Baskov has long been turned over, and now few people remember that he has a son from his first marriage. More than ten years ago, Baskov was married to Svetlana Shpigel, who in 2006 gave birth to her son Bronislav. At birth the boy received the double surname Baskov-Spiegel.
The relationship between the spouses did not work out, and already in 2008 Svetlana took the child and left with him for Israel. After this stellar divorce, there were many versions about why the family broke up. After all, we lived together for seven years.
Most fans tend to blame Baskov for this. They say that after the birth of his son, Nikolai did not change his lifestyle at all, did not reduce the number of tours and disappeared on them for almost eleven months a year.
And all the burdens of upbringing fell on Svetlana, who, in the end, was tired of being lonely with her husband alive, and in 2008 she filed for divorce.
After some time, mother and son went to live in Israel, where her father, businessman Boris Shpigel, lived. And a little later, Svetlana got married for the second time.
At the moment, Bronislav is thirteen years old, and, as the Express-Novosti news agency learned, now Baskov’s son simply goes by the surname Shpigel, having gotten rid of his father’s second surname. According to rumors, the mother insisted on this. Although there are those who suggest that Svetlana’s current husband, who is raising Bronislav as his own son, might want this.
As for Nikolai Baskov, he hasn’t seen his son for a long time. As far as we know, this was the principled position of his ex-wife, who believes that the star singer did not even deserve the title of “Sunday dad.”
Earlier, the Express-Novosti news agency reported that the star of the Ural Dumplings show, Yulia Mikhalkova, left the project. The reason for this decision was the upcoming move from Yekaterinburg to Moscow.

Ex-Wife of Nikolai Baskov - Svetlana Shpigel
The ex-wife of Nikolai Baskov, Svetlana Shpigel, has already been divorced twice. The woman is the daughter of the famous political figure Boris Shpigel. The girl succeeded in business by opening her own PR agency. In her family life with Nikolai Baskov, she often missed her husband, who disappeared for months on tour. The family broke up, leaving a big wound in the singer’s heart, because he was deprived of the opportunity to communicate with his own son.
Svetlana Shpigel was married to a Ukrainian politician, who, during the military conflict in Ukraine, decided to divorce his wife and never returned from Russia, despite the fact that they had a daughter growing up together. After this, Svetlana Shpigel lived in Israel for some time, but recently returned to Russia.
Svetlana Shpigel now
Now, after all the ups and downs in Svetlana’s life, interest in her biography in the media has subsided a little. This is also facilitated by the girl’s secluded life with her family abroad. What is known is that there is a temporary lull in Ms. Spiegel’s personal life. Svetlana enjoys the joys of motherhood.
The “golden voice” of Russia, performer Nikolai Baskov, has already passed his fifth decade, however, he continues to appear on the lists of the most eligible bachelors in the country. At various times, among his brides were the titled “beauty queens” Oksana Fedorova and Victoria Lopyreva, the outrageous ballerina Anastasia Volochkova, and the singer Sophie Kalcheva. However, Nikolai was officially married only once, in the early 00s, to the daughter of his then producer Svetlana Shpigel, but, alas, this marriage cannot be called happy. In this article we will tell you about how the fate of the first and so far only legal wife of the “natural blonde” turned out.

Svetlana Shpigel is the heiress of the influential Russian businessman and statesman Boris Shpigel, who was Nikolai’s producer in the early 00s. Largely thanks to Spiegel’s competent promotion, the performer became so popular and famous. Almost immediately, the singer began a romantic relationship with his daughter, which led to the wedding. In 2001, Nikolai and Svetlana legalized their relationship; the groom was 25 years old at the time of the wedding, and the bride was only 20 years old. Boris Isaakovich treated his son-in-law as his own son, hoping that he would make his beloved daughter happy.
The businessman actually supported a young family and took upon himself all their problems and concerns. At that time, Baskov’s musical career was just taking off, and his young wife, after graduating from the Faculty of Law of Moscow State University, decided to organize her own business and opened a PR agency called “Success”, which promoted creative people in the world of show business.

In 2006, the couple had a son together, who they decided to give the name Bronislav in honor of his paternal grandmother Spiegel, as well as a double surname: Baskov-Spiegel. However, just seven months after this joyful event, Nikolai’s wife filed for divorce, which was officially filed in the spring of 2008. The reason why the marriage broke up was not announced. According to one version, the culprit was Baskov’s career, who, due to constant tours and travel, actually stopped showing up at home and did not fulfill his parental obligations. But, the ex-wife said in an interview that her husband did not show interest in her as a woman, and she even persuaded him to have a child for five long years.
Svetlana also hinted that Nikolai prefers, so to speak, male society, pointing out his unconventional orientation, but the singer categorically denied her words, stating that his ex-wife was saying this out of revenge and a desire to annoy him.

However, Basque himself also did not seek meetings with the heir and did not take any part in the life and upbringing of the boy. Naturally, the singer’s relationship with his producer, and now former father-in-law, was also irrevocably damaged, and they broke off cooperation.

The young businesswoman, after her divorce from the singer, did not feel lonely for a long time and soon began an affair with Ukrainian businessman Vyacheslav Sobolev, who served as deputy chairman of the board of Naftogaz of Ukraine, and was friends with the then head of state Viktor Yanukovych. In addition, the man was the owner of a large chain of supermarkets, “Obzhora,” which he inherited after a divorce from his first wife. Using Boris Shpigel's extensive connections, the businessman planned to enter new markets.

In 2011, Sobolev married Svetlana; they held a magnificent wedding at the elite Metropol restaurant, to which many famous businessmen and show business stars were invited. A year later, Spiegel gave birth to her wife’s daughter, whom they named Nina. In addition, Vyacheslav adopted his wife’s child from his first marriage, and the boy even began to call him his dad. However, this marriage lasted only about four years, after which it broke up. In part, this was due to a change in the political situation, which led to problems in Sobolev’s business. The couple did not comment on their divorce, and after completing all the necessary documents, Svetlana and her children flew to Israel, where they lived for several years.

A few months ago it became known that Spiegel and her heirs returned back to Russia and settled in an elite village in the Moscow region. Naturally, the paparazzi could not ignore this, and took several photographs of Bronislav walking on the street with his friends. Now the boy is twelve years old, and, probably, he doesn’t even know who his real father is. Moreover, Basque himself, who had not actually seen his son since the cradle, did not even recognize him in the photographs. When he was told that the boy in the pictures was his grown-up son, the performer became embarrassed and refused to comment on the situation in any way.
There is now a temporary lull in Svetlana’s personal life. The woman tries to avoid publicity and focuses on raising two growing heirs.
Instagram and Wikipedia Nikolai Baskov
Every day Nikolai Baskov’s Instagram and Wikipedia are gaining more and more popularity. Today, the singer’s account on the social network Instagram has over a million subscribers. Nikolay Baskov often updates photos on Instagram, mainly these are photos from the stage, from behind the scenes, there are also many joint photos with Victoria Lopyreva. Fans also noticed how, next to his beloved, the singer tightened up and lost weight. Well, the man is trying to keep himself in shape next to such a charming and young woman.
Information about the singer is also on the Wikipedia website, mostly of a general nature. But it is Wikipedia that provides an overview of all the works of Nikolai Baskov, as well as his numerous hits and most famous works.
Fame
The first great success was receiving the second prize at the all-Russian competition “Romansiada” in 1997. The following year, Baskov was already a soloist at the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theater.

At the age of 22, the talented artist received an offer of an internship at the Bolshoi Theater and appeared on its stage in the image of Lensky (P. I. Tchaikovsky’s opera “Eugene Onegin”). Critics noted that this was the youngest Lensky in the entire history of opera performance on the world stage.
Nikolai Baskov says about his debut: “... as a child, I imagined that Euphoria was a delightful princess from a fairy tale. On that premiere day, after a 20-minute storm of applause, I met her for the first time. I got to know her. It was a moment of absolute happiness."
In 2000, it became clear that the talented singer was “crowded” within the framework of classical vocals. Composer Alexander Morozov invited Nikolai to try himself on the stage. Basque performed two compositions - “In Memory of Caruso” and “Ave, Maria”. The first of them became an instant hit. Boris Shpigel took up producing work with the young artist. In March of the same year, 7 concerts were given in the Rossiya concert hall. For any young performer this is simply unheard of success. At the age of 23, Nikolai Baskov learned what real popularity was - the concerts were sold out.
Despite what he had achieved, he continued to study - in 2003 he defended his Ph.D. thesis, graduating from graduate school at the conservatory. The same year was marked by the signing of a contract with two famous Spanish opera houses: Liceo and Teatro Real. Even earlier, in 2000, Nikolai met Montserrat Caballe, who became his mentor.
In 2004, Nikolai officially finished working at the Bolshoi Theater and became a soloist of the Nizhny Novgorod State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater named after A. S. Pushkin. A year later, he moved to the Mari State Opera and Ballet Theater, from where he was fired in 2012.

Nikolai Baskov's career continued to develop both in the direction of pop performance and in the opera genre. He has toured all over Russia and received multiple Golden Gramophone awards. One of the most successful was the collaboration with singer Taisiya Povaliy, whose tours reached the international level.
As an opera singer, he shines on the world stage next to such stars as Montserrat Caballe and Maria Maksakova.
