He spent several years in America, then in Germany, is it possible for him to stay with you?” Someone always lived in our apartment on Leninsky. But Dubovitsky was still at the dacha, so I, kind soul, allowed it.

She played the role of a friend: she went with him to events and premieres. And, of course, I guessed that rumors might spread. But I thought: “Hee-hee, ha-ha, Vladimir Grigorievich is in the know, but the rest don’t interest me.” Valera didn’t live with me alone; he also had a friend with him, a German. Slowly they occupied half the apartment, endless guests came to them - they became insolent, in short.

Together with the leader of the Tambov organized crime group, Vladimir Barsukov (Kumarin), he was a defendant in a high-profile criminal case of an attempt on the life of a major businessman, co-owner of the St. Petersburg Oil Terminal (PNT) Sergei Vasiliev. Sentenced to four years in prison, he was released from the courtroom taking into account the time spent in a pre-trial detention center[18][19]. In February 2011, in Yalta, Ukraine, a criminal case was opened for a false passport in the name of Anatoly Mazurenko, in connection with forgery of documents.[20]

Career start

Surprisingly, after graduating from school, Tatyana was in no hurry to connect her life with music. On the contrary, she chose a completely mundane and unremarkable profession, graduating from the technical school of hotel management and becoming an administrator at the Bratislava hotel. However, it’s hard to even imagine how the singer’s life and career would have turned out if not for this strange step.

The fact is that it was in “Bratislava” that Tatyana met Natalya Vetlitsa, who at that time was already a star and sang as part of the group “Mirage”. The girls quickly found a common language and became friends, as a result, Natalya invited her new friend to Moscow for the position of costume designer.

In those days, the glory of the Mirage resounded throughout the country. At the same time, his soloists replaced one another at the speed of light. One fine day, Tatyana had the opportunity to try herself as a vocalist. They simply couldn’t help but pay attention to the cute blonde. In addition, for the sake of a place in the team, she lost almost 20 kilograms and was ready for much greater feats.

For two years, Ovsienko shared the stage with Irina Saltykova, until the latter left the group. As a result, Tatyana became the only soloist, but her triumph did not last long. Soon a scandal began to flare up due to the fact that the singers from “Mirage” often sang to a soundtrack. The justified indignation of the public led to the fact that Tatyana hastened to disown her former colleagues and set off on a free voyage.

Awards and titles[edit | edit code]

For speeches before veterans, in military units and before military personnel in places of combat:

• NATO medal "For peacekeeping" in Kosovo
• Medal "For Military Valor" of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, 1st class
• medal “200 years of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia”[21]
• breastplate "For service in the Caucasus" of the North Caucasus Military District[22]

For services in the field of art:

• honorary title “Honored Artist of the Russian Federation” (2001)
• “Golden Gramophone” for the hit “Ring” (1997)

Solo career

It turned out that Tatyana was right. Very soon her name became known to almost everyone who had ever listened to the radio or watched television. She easily filled the halls not only in the capital, but also in cities throughout the country. The audience remembered her joint concerts with the Voyage group.

Not satisfied with the Russian audience, in the late 90s Ovsienko went abroad. She gave concerts in Italy, Germany, Israel and the USA. Of course, they were attended mainly by people from the former Soviet Union. But still, the sold-out crowd could be called a real success.

Returning home, the artist suddenly disappeared and remained in oblivion, which she herself called rest and vacation, for several years. Out of an unexpected interest in the music of the 80s, in 2004 Ovsienko appeared on one of the popular shows with a real hit of those years, “Music Connected Us.” She emphasized in every possible way that she was performing it live, apparently remembering what a scandal her participation in “Mirage” turned out to be at one time.

Be that as it may, Tatyana Ovsienko managed to return to the stage. This was far from the popularity that the singer was accustomed to in the 90s, but stable participation in concerts and periodic flashing on screens suited the performer, who at her age found it difficult to compete with young stars and their incendiary hits.

Thanks to concerts regularly given in military units, hospitals, as well as at events for veterans, Tatyana received the medal “For Military Valor.” She also has the “Songs of the Year” and “Golden Gramophone” awards. Unfortunately, there is little place left for Ovsienko’s sweet and kind compositions in modern pop culture, but loyal fans continue to enjoy attending concerts of their favorite performer.

Chance meeting

Tatyana Ovsienko’s first husband, Vladimir Dubovitsky, did not pay attention to the young administrator from the Bratislava Hotel in Kyiv at the time they met. Ovsienko got a job at the hotel after graduating from college, and didn’t even think that a completely different life awaited her. At that time, Dubovitsky was the husband of Electroclub soloist Irina Allegrova, and at the same time the producer and keyboard player of the group. A close acquaintance with the artists happened thanks to an accident - Vladimir had a terrible allergy to flowering chestnuts. Tatyana called an ambulance, and when the doctors left, she brought sandwiches to Allegrova’s room. There she saw Dubovitsky, whom it was simply a pity to look at - he was lying all swollen, and, of course, did not pay any attention to Tatyana.

Only three years later, when Ovsienko was already the soloist of Mirage, they met again. This happened during a performance at Luzhniki, and musicians from the Electroclub introduced her to Dubovitsky, talking about her participation in his rescue. Tatyana also got into Mirage completely by accident - her boyfriend Slava played in the group, and she often came to him from Kyiv, and then, in order not to be separated from him for a long time, she got a job as a dresser in the group. However, having seen enough of the fans throwing themselves into the arms of the musicians after each concert, Ovsienko decided that a normal family life with Slava would not work out. One day, when one of the soloists, Natalya Vetlitskaya, left the group, Tatyana was asked to go on stage, and the debut turned out to be successful. That's how she ended up at Mirage. The meeting with Dubovitsky in Luzhniki also did not in any way affect the singer’s personal life, and only later, when she had already become popular, during a tour in Sverdlovsk, Ovsienko met Vladimir again, and then he showed genuine interest in her and persistently began to seek a closer relationship. acquaintance.

However, according to the contract, the Mirage soloists were not supposed to have affairs, so Tatyana was unapproachable. In addition, at that time Dubovitsky was still Allegrova’s husband, and Tatyana directly told him that she would not date a married man. But they began to live, after all, when Vladimir was still married to Allegrova. He just came to Tatiana’s rented apartment and stayed. Vladimir Dubovitsky became Tatyana Ovsienko’s husband later, when they, together with the group they created, were traveling around the country on tour. The wedding was scheduled for a day free from performances. Their wedding turned out to be grandiose - with many invited guests, all famous artists.

In addition, Tatyana participated in the children's ensemble "Sun", which was often shown on television.
