Childhood and family
Alla Pugacheva was born in Moscow on April 15, 1949. Her parents, Zinaida Arkhipovna Odegova (1922 - 1986) and the hero Boris Mikhailovich Pugachev (1918 - 1982), were front-line soldiers; After the war, Alla’s mother got a job in the factory’s personnel department, and her father began his career at a shoe factory and quickly rose to the position of sales director.

Years later, when Alla was already in the status of a “supernova,” evil tongues started talking about the fact that her real father was a certain Joseph Bendetsky, allegedly the former lover of Zinaida Arkhipova, whom she met at the front, being a member of a front-line brigade of artists who entertained soldiers. However, this version does not stand up to criticism and is obviously an invention of haters.
The eldest child of Zinaida and Boris, Gennady, died of diphtheria. The girl, who was born two years later, was named in honor of the Moscow Art Theater actress Alla Tarasova. A year after the birth of their daughter, another child appeared in the Pugachev family, a boy, Evgeniy (1950 - 2011). As a child, Alla was very friendly with her brother, but over the years their paths diverged.

Music became a part of Alla Pugacheva’s life even before the girl entered the first grade of secondary school. In 1954, Zinaida invited a music teacher home to test the children for musical abilities. Evgeny did not show himself in any way, but Alla was found to have perfect hearing. Since then, Alla has been literally “haunted” by the piano - from the age of five she had to spend three hours at the instrument every day. However, the little girl’s perseverance quickly bore first fruit - a few months later she was already performing on the stage of the columned hall of the House of Unions. In 1956, it was decided to send the girl to a music school at the school named after M.M. Ippolitova-Ivanov.
Mom dreamed of making Alla a great pianist
That same year, little Alla Pugacheva went to school. The lively red-haired girl with round glasses quickly got the nickname “Sergeant Major,” which means “senior sergeant.” Both the yard hooligans and the bullies from school knew that it was better not to mess with this wayward girl, who could put a button on the teacher’s chair or coat the chalkboard with wax - it would be more expensive for herself. None of her peers even knew that deep down Alla was a very complex, shy introvert girl. “I just went to the company and inspired myself: “You are the coolest,” the singer recalled.
Alla, or, as she was called at home, Alusya finally won the authority of the street kids after a clash with the bully Jaga. As usual, he was looking for a victim from whom he could take money for breakfast, when suddenly he came at him with the words “Don’t you dare take money from the guys!” Pugacheva swooped in. The teenager threatened her with violence, but when the girl did not run away, frightened by his grimace, and she swung her hand, he was taken aback and fell straight into the leftovers. So Jaga ceased to be a threat to the court. Since then, Alla often had fun in the company of her friends in this way: when she met a suspicious group on the street, she would come forward, make a scary face and, in an eccentric voice, ask how to get to the library. The hooligans were confused and preferred not to mess with the crazy woman, and the girls roared with laughter.
Alla Pugacheva in her youth
At the age of 13, Alla entered adolescence. She began to smoke, drink wine and resolutely refused to wear clothes of colors other than black. To the horror of the teachers, boys began to be interested in her. Her performance dropped - her report card in geography, chemistry, drawing and a foreign language showed C grades. At the age of 13, the girl had her first boyfriend - a friend of her younger brother, Vladimir Stern. They dreamed of escaping to Cuba together and helping their communist brothers, but it didn’t work out. And the following summer she had a summer affair with MAI student Dmitry Strausov. In the eighth grade, Alla did not come home to spend the night for the first time. The information reached the teachers. A huge scandal broke out with threats to expel the girl from the Komsomol cell.
First performances
In 1964, Alla Pugacheva graduated from eight classes of secondary school No. 496 and, by that time already firmly knowing that she would become a singer, she entered the conducting and choral department of the Ippolitov-Ivanov Music School.

Carefree student life began - Alla and her classmates loved to gather at one of the guys’ apartments to chat, discuss the latest news, drink wine and smoke a cigarette or two. Despite the girl’s love for a fun pastime, her record was full of A’s.
Alla Pugacheva at the beginning of her career
In 1965, sophomore Alla Pugacheva went on her first tour in her life as part of the troupe of Alexander Levenbuk and Alexander Livshits. Upon her return, she recorded her debut song - the composition “Robot” based on the poems of Mikhail Tanich, presented on the air of the “Good Morning” program. Alla Pugacheva’s first song is “Robot”, 1965. In 1966, Alla Pugacheva’s collaboration with composer Vladimir Shainsky began. He wrote several songs for the singer, of which the public especially loved the compositions “Blackbirds,” “How can I fall in love,” and “Don’t argue with me.” The last two became winners in the All-Union Radio competition for the title of “Song of the Month”. A few years later, he wrote music for the musical audio fairy tale “Twice two is four,” in which the voices of Alla Pugacheva and Eduard Khil sounded.

Soon the singer joined the propaganda team of the Yunost radio station and for the next year and a half traveled around the Arctic and the Far North with a repertoire consisting of three songs: “The Only Waltz”, “I Just Love Very Much” and “The King, the Flower Girl and the Jester”.

From the day she was born, Elizaveta Galkina, the twin sister of Harry Galkin, has been growing up in the spotlight. After all, Lisa is the child of the prima donna of the Soviet and Russian stage and the No. 1 comedian. A four-year-old baby and her brother promise to overtake their famous parents in popularity. From the first years of her life, Lisa Galkina was a media person, while the girl’s parents had to go a long way to fame.
Lisa and Harry Galkin with their parents
in September 2013. The news about their appearance became the sensation of the year, because at the time of birth, the mother was 64 years old, and the father was 37. And surrogacy, which made Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin parents, is not the most common phenomenon in Russia.
Lisa Galkina and her brother appeared in the Moscow region, at the clinic of Mark Kurtser. The hospital is located in the village of Lapino, which is a twenty-minute drive from the future family nest in Gryazi. 15 years ago, Kurtser gave birth to
Kristina Orbakaite.
Lisa Galkina is a few minutes older than her brother. The name of the twins' surrogate mother is kept secret. Liza Galkina’s weight is 2 kilos 400 grams, head physician Yulia Kutakova told reporters. My sister turned out to be “slimmer” than her brother by 540 grams. Elizabeth's height is 48 centimeters. The names of the babies were announced to the curious by art director Alla Borisovna.
Harry and Lisa Galkin
The touched singer commented on the appearance of her daughter and son in her life: Alla Borisovna was present at the moment the babies were born. She said that the first impression that came to her was that she had two grandchildren.
The understanding that Lisa and Harry were her children came on the second day. The diva was next to the twins while the babies were in the clinic.
Beginning of professional development
Returning to Moscow in March 1968, Alla Pugacheva was unable to pass her final exams, since a long absence could not but affect her performance. The singer went to practice at Moscow secondary school No. 621. At this school, Alla, who received the nickname “Alka the Shouter” from her students for her loud voice, worked as a music teacher for five months. And already in June 1969 she passed her final exams (under her conductor the student choir sang two songs: “Lullaby” and “White Birch”), receiving a diploma of secondary specialized education.

However, Alla Pugacheva did not intend to become the director of the choir. After graduating from the “Hippolyte”, she was called as an accompanist to the brigade of the circus school. The team, consisting of singers, musicians and magicians, had to travel around the villages and entertain the village workers with musical and circus acts. Among the members of the brigade was the clown Mykolas Orbakas, whom the girl married in October 1969.
Alla Pugacheva in her youth
After marriage, Pugacheva recorded a duet with Yuri Yakovlev for the film “The Deer King”, left the brigade and became the lead singer of the group “New Electron”. A year later, she became a soloist of Rosconcert, then joined Oleg Lundstrem’s pop orchestra, and in 1974 became a soloist of the VIA “Jolly Fellows” under the direction of Pavel Slobodkin. During this period (since 1972), her collaboration with songwriter Ilya Reznik began, which lasted until the mid-90s.

As part of the group, the singer received first place at the Golden Orpheus festival with the song “Harlequin”. The composition was a reworking of the song of the same name by Bulgarian singer Emil Dimitrov with Russian-language lyrics, a new arrangement and sound effects in the form of laughter in the background. When, a year after the recording, Alla Pugacheva went on tour to Bulgaria, the audience clapped admiringly and called the singer for an encore. Alla Pugacheva - “Harlekino”, 1975 “Harlekino” took Alla Pugacheva’s career to a new level. In 1976, she performed at the Cannes music festival on the same stage with VIA “Pesnyary”, and composer Mikael Tariverdiev invited her to record the soundtrack to Eldar Ryazanov’s film “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!”

In the summer of the same year, the artist recorded a short record with “Jolly Fellows”, after which she left the group and began singing in the orchestra under the direction of Konstantin Orbelyan.

A month later, Alla Pugacheva’s future second husband (by that time the singer had divorced Orbakas), director Alexander Stefanovich, convinced the singer to leave the orchestra. In winter, the girl won the “Song of the Year-76” award with the composition “Very Good” and for the first time became the presenter of “Blue Light”, performing the song “I Like” together with Barbara Brylska on New Year’s broadcast.

Solo career
At the beginning of 1977, Alla Pugacheva began working on creating the image of an independent singer. The girl starred in the leading role in Alexander Orlov’s film “The Woman Who Sings.” Even those who were not interested in the work and life of Alla Pugacheva guessed that the story of pop singer Anna Streltsova is largely autobiographical. After the premiere of the film, the singer acquired the pseudonym “the woman who sings”, she was awarded the title “Best Actress of the Year”, and the robe in which Alla appeared in the film became her calling card.

In the spring of 1978, Alla Pugacheva presented the people of the USSR with her first solo album, “Mirror of the Soul,” on the recording of which composers Alexander Zatsepin, Mark Minkov, Boris Rychkov worked (he wrote the music for the hit “Kings Can Do Anything”), as well as Alla Borisovna herself (under named after Boris Gorbonos).

A year later, the singer recorded her second solo album, “Harlequin and Others,” performed with Joe Dassin at the opening of the Cosmos Hotel, went on tour in near and far abroad, and was also cast in the leading role in the new project of her husband [Alexander Stefanovich] – a film about the dramatic fate of a pop singer with the working title “Recital”. At the initial stage of filming, the management of the Mosfilm studio suspended the singer due to a scandal on the set. This led to a rift in relations with Stefanovic, and in December 1980 the couple filed for divorce. As for the fate of “Recital,” the film was later released under the title “Soul” with another leading actress, Sofia Rotaru.

At the turn of the 70s and 80s, Alla Pugacheva unwittingly became the cause of a wave of murders that swept across the USSR. In 1975, a certain Anatoly Nagiyev, a 17-year-old native of the Irkutsk region, was sent to a colony for rape. In the meager prison music library there was only one cassette - Alla Pugacheva, whose songs soon literally drove him crazy: he began to hear the singer’s voice in his head and soon became obsessed with the idea of sending Alla to the next world. Once free, he, with manic persistence, prepared an assassination attempt on Pugacheva, simultaneously stabbing to death six women who reminded him of the Diva. With the help of criminal investigation officers, the maniac was caught in September 1980, while the superstar had no idea about the impending attack on her life. “The investigation was carried out...”: an issue about Anatoly Nagiyev. The years 1980–1981 brought the singer further achievements, among which were a new concert program “Monologues of the Singer”, two fresh albums (“Rise Above the Vanity” and “Whether There Will Be More”), as well as creative union with composer Raymond Pauls, who gave the world the songs “It’s Time,” “Return,” “Without Me,” “Maestro” and the immortal hit “A Million Scarlet Roses.”

The latter was released as a separate mini-album, which sold 6 million copies and was heard far beyond the borders of the Soviet Union. Among foreigners, the song about a poor artist and a capricious actress was most loved in Japan. Five years later, Japanese singer Tokiko Kato covered the composition, and many residents of the Land of the Rising Sun were convinced that the song was originally Japanese! For some time, this music was even heard at the Fukuyama train station, famous for its rose gardens. Alla Pugacheva - “A Million Scarlet Roses” (“New Year’s Attraction-82”) In 1981, the singer recorded her fifth studio album, “How troubling is this path,” and toured a number of countries in Eastern and Western Europe: the German Democratic Republic, Bratislava, Hungary, France, Italy and other. Abroad, Alla Pugacheva was called nothing less than “soviet superstar”.
All men in the Soviet Union dreamed about the red-haired beauty Alla.
The first hours of 1984 were marked by two new songs by Alla Pugacheva: “Iceberg” and “Tell me, birds,” which were performed on the air of the “New Year’s Attraction” show. They were included in Alla Borisovna’s new concert program “I came and I say”, which was soon “tested” in Scandinavian countries.
Parody of Alla Pugacheva in “Well, Just Wait!” (1985)
The beginning of the next period of Alla Borisovna’s work dates back to 1985. In the fall, the singer presented a new concert program “Alla Pugacheva Presents...”, held several joint concerts with Scandinavian groups (Swedish “Herreys” and Norwegian “Bobbysocks!”), American singer Dean Reed and German rock musician Udo Lindenberg, with whom Alla also recorded joint bilingual album “Songs Instead of Letters” as part of establishing diplomatic relations between West and East Berlin.

The so-called “Baltic scandal”, the main figure of which was Alla Borisovna, is indirectly associated with the name of this German. In August 1987, a joint performance by Lindenberg and Pugacheva was scheduled to take place on the stage of the Leningrad Sports and Concert Complex named after Lenin as part of the concert program “Rock for a Nuclear Free World.” Due to a misunderstanding with booking a suite, the singer quarreled with the administrator of the Pribaltiyskaya Hotel, Nina Baykova, who promised to “find justice for the capricious singer” and filed a police report against Pugacheva.
Sometimes Alla really gave vent to her emotions
The next morning, almost every newspaper, radio station and television channel in the USSR reported on the incident. Alla Borisovna was accused of “hooligan behavior”; letters from readers that came to the editorial office included demands to “tear off your tongue” and “fill your mouth with tar.” The singer's recordings were removed from broadcasting for several months. Even the fact that in September 1986, after the Chernobyl disaster, Alla Pugacheva courageously gave a free three-hour concert in the village of Cape Verde for the liquidators of the fire in the reactor did not save the situation. Then, performing the hit “Hey, you up there,” the singer added in the chorus: “Why did they blow up the station?”, addressing the reproach to the party leadership...

However, in December 1987, Alla’s songs returned to the airwaves, and in October 1988, the singer, who by that time had changed her style to a more “rock and roll” one, was already shining on the stage of New York’s Carnegie Hall. Upon her return, she founded her own Song Theater, appointing her third husband, producer Evgeniy Boldin, as its director.
By the end of the 80s, Alla Pugacheva radically changed her style
During this period, the singer came up with the idea of creating an annual song festival, where the students of her theater could demonstrate their successes. All she needed was an excuse to create a tradition, and it dawned on Alla Borisovna - Christmas! This is how “Christmas meetings with Alla Pugacheva” were born, since then almost every year they have been held in December before Catholic Christmas. Participants in the first festival were Alexander Gradsky, Vladimir Presnyakov Sr., Igor Kornelyuk and other Soviet pop stars.

In December 1991, the day before the collapse of the Soviet Union, Alla Pugacheva was awarded the title of People's Artist of the USSR. She became one of the last creative figures to be awarded this title.
Alla Pugacheva in new times
With the country's entry into a new era, changes began in the life of Alla Borisovna. In 1992, the Song Theater was replaced by a commercial one, the first product of which was the perfume of the same name. Soon the singer unsuccessfully invested the borrowed money in the Vlastilin financial pyramid. In December 1993, Alla Pugacheva separated from Evgeniy Boldin; in the same month, the first issue of Alla magazine, edited by Pugacheva, was published, and the singer herself was recognized as a woman of the century according to the readers of Sobesednik magazine.
Alla Pugacheva had many business ideas
In the spring of 1994, the singer married Philip Kirkorov, and in the summer of 1995 she went on sabbatical, finally telling the public: “A place on the pedestal has become vacant. Who wants to stand?" Soon she turned to the record company with a proposal to publish an album, which should become the final milestone of her singing career.
Alla Pugacheva: “The place on the podium is free”
In December 1995, the singer presented her thirteenth solo album, “Don’t Hurt Me, Gentlemen,” which included 18 compositions, including the hits “Mary,” “Real Colonel,” and “Love Like a Dream.”
In May 1997, the singer returned to the stage as part of the Eurovision Song Contest, where she represented Russia with the song “Primadonna”. Alas, the composition took only 15th place out of 25, perhaps because Valery Meladze, who was supposed to perform the “male” part, was unable to get to Eurovision due to illness. In November of the same year, Alla officially returned to the stage.
Alla Pugacheva at Eurovision, 1997 In 1998, the newly minted Diva of the Russian stage released her 14th solo album “Yes!” with a track list of 14 compositions, including “Diva” in French and “Calm down”, performed in a duet with Joseph Kobzon.
In 1999, Russian President Boris Yeltsin personally awarded Alla Borisovna the Order of the II degree “For Services to the Fatherland.”

In 2002, the Prima Donna recorded a joint album, “Was there a boy?” with singer Lyubasha (Tatyana Zaluzhnaya). The list of new compositions included a duet with Maxim Galkin “Be or not be.”

The next six years passed in constant turmoil of creativity: the singer actively collaborated with Igor Krutoy, starred in the film “Chasing Two Hares” with Galkin and Andrei Danilko, released three new albums (“Water Bus”, “Live in Peace, Country!” and “Invitation”) at sunset") and took the participants of the fifth season of “Star Factory” under her wing. Among Alla Borisovna's favorites were young Victoria Daineko, Ruslan Masyukov and Natalya Podolskaya. Alla Pugacheva at the “Star Factory-5” After the concert on March 4, 2010, held in the capital of Bulgaria as part of the final international tour “Dreams of Love,” Alla Borisovna announced the cessation of concert activities. “Dreams of Love”, farewell concert of Alla Pugacheva. TV version However, even after these words, the Prima Donna remained the most important figure on the national stage: she wrote lyrics for other performers (for example, Alla came up with the words of the song “My Girl” for Soso Pavliashvili), was a frequent guest on entertainment and analytical programs, and chaired the jury of the show “ Factor A,” which glorified Evgenia Otradnaya and Nikolai Timokhin, hosted the “Morning Mail” program.

Galkin was deceived?! Pugacheva’s “sister” may “leak” the secret of the birth of Lisa and Harry
Alina Redel fueled rumors that the Diva is not the biological mother of the twins.
Alla Borisovna’s best friend, Alina Redel, knows all the “skeletons” in the Diva’s star closet. The women have not kept in touch for a long time and it seems that a black cat has run between the named sisters. Could Redel, out of revenge for her friend, tell the media who the real mother of Harry and Lisa Galkin really is? After all, this is the question that has been worrying fans for so long.
The 82-year-old businesswoman Alini Redel was repeatedly called “sister” by Diva, since the women have been friends almost all their lives. However, after the writer’s birthday last year, the best friends did not see each other again and Alla did not even congratulate Alina on the New Year holidays or invite her to a traditional party in her castle. In response to this behavior of the Diva, her friend’s revenge may follow, because it is Rödel, like no one else, who knows the secret of the birth of Lisa and Harry, about which she can enlighten the public. It was Alina who once told the media that Alla Borisovna froze her eggs in 2002 to give birth to a child for Maxim Galkin. However, here the celebrity’s friend “messed up.”
Redel said that Pugacheva did cryopreservation of genetic material in order to give birth to children for Maxim Galkin in the future. However, then the singer was 53 years old and she was married to Philip Kirkorov. Why did it suddenly occur to the singer to give birth for the parodist? At the same time, Alla and Philip stopped trying to conceive a baby when the star was 47 years old, because the doctors were already throwing up their hands and putting an end to pregnancy. It turns out that at 53 years old, the Primadonna, due to her age, could no longer freeze her own eggs, and doctors claim that the risk of pathologies in a child from far from young biomaterial increases significantly. How then were Lisa and Harry born?
The answer to that question is known to Redel, who can betray a long-term friendship for a lot of money, or do it in revenge for Alla’s indifference, because the Diva, it seems, has not communicated with her 82-year-old friend for several months. So what happens, Galkin was deceived and the showman himself does not know that the eggs used to fertilize the surrogate mother might not have come from Pugacheva?
According to rumors, Alina herself could share her biomaterial, because Lisa is now growing up as her copy, but if we take into account the woman’s age, it immediately becomes clear that such a theory sounds unlikely.
Personal life of Alla Pugacheva
On October 8, 1969, Alla Pugacheva married Lithuanian circus artist Mykolas Edmundas Orbakas, her colleague at the circus school. The acquaintance happened as follows. The school received orders for the concert crew. Alla wanted to make money and volunteered to participate in the program. On this issue, Alla talked with the teacher Oleg Nepomniachtchi, and Orbakas was his student. He was in the same concert crew. They had the whole summer to get to know each other better, but at first the relationship was purely platonic. Upon returning to Moscow, Mykolas confessed his love to Alla.
Wedding of Alla Pugacheva and Mykolas Orbakas
The fruit of the artists’ love was the daughter Kristina Orbakaite, who was born a year and a half after the wedding. A month after her birth, the young family was given an apartment in the east of the capital, not far from the Ryazansky Prospekt metro station. However, the marriage fell apart quite quickly. Exactly 4 years after the wedding, on October 8, 1973, a stamp annulling the marriage appeared in Alla’s passport. There were many reasons for the breakup, but the main one was Alla’s career ambitions, in which there was no place for her husband.

It is noteworthy that the son of Christina and her husband Vladimir Presnyakov Jr. Nikita Presnyakov did not break tradition and already in his youth became a musician and singer of the alternative group “MULTIVERSE”. Christina gave Alla Borisovna two more grandchildren - a boy Denis (from businessman Ruslan Baysarov) and a girl Claudia.

The marriage with director Alexander Stefanovich lasted exactly three years (12/24/1977 – 12/24/1980). Due to the fact that both spouses belonged to the creator caste, disagreements constantly arose between them. For example, one day Pugacheva witnessed a sex scene between her husband and some nameless girl. She had difficulty restraining herself from the scandal, but later, when her husband reprimanded her about her acting talent, she became furious: “And you still dare to reprimand me?” In addition, the mercantile director did not hesitate to constantly get into his wife’s “pocket”. As the Diva recalled, after the divorce he rushed around the apartment, trying to take everything with him, right down to the door handles.

The singer’s third husband was music producer Evgeny Boldin, who first drew attention to the talented girl after her triumph with “Harlequin” at the Golden Orpheus in 1975, and three years later became her concert director. Being face-to-face with Alla 24 hours a day, he soon realized that they were brought together by something more than work.
Evgeny Boldin, third husband of Alla Pugacheva
Officially, Evgeniy and Alla formalized their relationship in 1985, although before that they had already lived together for quite a long time. According to Boldin, the stamp in the passport cast a shadow on their relationship - he began to realize that his wife, in principle, was outside the concept of “family.” The couple began to live separately, but maintained friendly relations and continued to conduct joint activities.
Alla Pugacheva and Evgeny Boldin: many years later
Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov met back in 1976, when nine-year-old Filya came with his dad to the Kremlin Christmas tree. Of course, Pugacheva also performed at the main children's event in the capital. After the concert, Shainsky approached Alla: “Alla, Bedros’s son is there, your admirer. Give him an autograph!
From that moment on, the boy, who had fallen madly in love with the diva, firmly decided that one day he would marry Alla Pugacheva. One could attribute this to childhood fantasies, but having already established himself as a singer, Kirkorov did not give up trying to win the heart of his beloved since participating in the first “Christmas Meetings” in 1988. In December 1993, the Diva gave up - at a party of the Na-Na group, she accepted her favorite yellow roses from the hands of a two-meter-tall handsome Bulgarian and immediately publicly announced her upcoming engagement, surprising not only her colleagues and close friends, but also Kirkorov himself, and Soon she officially ended her relationship with Boldin.
The marriage of Alla Pugacheva and Philip Kirkorov “lived” for 12 years
Despite the fact that Pugacheva’s fourth husband was 18 years younger, their relationship was very happy until in 2001 Alla Pugacheva met a young parodist and TV presenter Maxim Galkin. Ironically, it was Philip who introduced them to each other at the Slavic Bazaar festival in Vitebsk. From that moment on, Alla began to move away from her husband, and in March 2005, Alla and Philip secretly divorced. In 2009, the singer dedicated the touching song “Alla” to his ex-wife.

The age difference between Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin is 27 years, but this did not become an obstacle for the lovers. Although their romance began in 2001, the official wedding ceremony took place only in December 2011. The couple purchased a castle in the village of Gryaz, where they lived together with their newborn twins Lisa and Harry, who were born in September 2013 with the help of a surrogate mother.

“They won’t be like this anymore”: Maxim Galkin published rare photographs of his son and daughter
On Instagram of TV presenter Maxim Galkin, the bulk of publications are devoted to the achievements of Lisa and Harry - fans of the comedian enjoy watching how the twins delight their star father. But the next post was not dedicated to the new skills of the kids, it took us back to the past - the showman remembered what his children were like with Alla Pugacheva, just a few years ago.
The day before, on May 21, the TV presenter published archival footage of little Lisa and Harry, who are now six years old, on his personal blog. The children posed sitting on bicycles within the walls of their parents' mansion. Lisa was wearing a red fluffy dress, and Harry was wearing light blue breeches and a white shirt.

Lisa and Harry
Back in the early 2000s, Diva resorted to the procedure of cryo-freezing of eggs.
Their time came in 2012, when Alla and Maxim made an informed decision to become parents. If Alla already had experience of motherhood, then for her husband it was new. Alla admitted that, of course, she would like to bear children herself, and did not doubt the capabilities of her body. But the doctors strictly forbade me to even think about it. As a result, the twins were carried by a surrogate mother. The babies, born on September 18, 2013, inherited their surname from their dad. Despite her advanced age, Alla Borisovna enthusiastically began her parental responsibilities. By the People’s Artist’s own admission, at first it seemed to her that Lisa and Harry were her grandchildren. The realization of motherhood did not come immediately. Now the twins make up the meaning of her life.

Lisa and Harry are media personalities. Their successes in the fine arts, sciences and languages are closely watched not only by fans of Alla Borisovna. Golden-haired kids participate in fashion shows and often appear at social events.
The children of Pugacheva and Galkin are star twins
How old are the children of Pugacheva and Galkin? The twins were born on September 18, 2013 in a prestigious clinic near Moscow. Neither Pugacheva nor Galkin hid the fact that a surrogate mother gave birth to their children. A few years ago, Diva decided to freeze her eggs. As soon as the star couple wanted to have children, artificial insemination was carried out. According to eyewitnesses, Alla Pugacheva was personally present at the birth of the surrogate mother, and then took care of the children in every possible way. Everyone around her notices that she and Maxim Galkin are very caring parents.
Star parents tried to protect their children from outside attention, which could interfere with the healthy growth of babies, so the twins did not go out into the world until they were 1.5 years old.
Until a certain time, the star couple did not show photographs of the babies and did not publish them. When the twins were one and a half years old, Galkin and Pugacheva appeared on the NTV channel with their children.
Star kids are growing by leaps and bounds, delighting their parents
What do Pugacheva’s children look like now? The kids are already quite adults, after all, they are already 3 years old! Pugacheva’s children are still growing up, bathed in love and gifts.

Despite her refusal to perform further, the Prima Donna continued to be active in creative and social activities. She ran the Future Star school for talented children, personally interviewing each candidate student.

With the birth of their children, a lot has changed in the lives of the star spouses, but for Alla and Maxim, “children’s” chores are only a joy - they are happy to be parents and try to spend every free minute with the four of them.
Alla Pugacheva is young at heart - and this is the main thing!
On April 15, 2020, Alla Borisovna celebrated her 70th birthday. The hero of the day was warmly congratulated by her colleagues on the stage, and a congratulatory telegram was published on the Kremlin website on behalf of Putin. In honor of the holiday, the artist, to the delight of her many fans, broke her promise to never go on stage again - on April 17 she will appear on the stage of the Kremlin Palace with the concert program “Alla Pugacheva: PS”. The cost of tickets for the concert started from 28 thousand rubles. Alla keeps up with the times. The artist runs Instagram, which has more than 2 million subscribers. She mainly posts her twins' successes, archival photos with close friends, favorite outfits and cute selfies.
Recently, Alla Borisovna has not hidden her sympathy for the Ukrainian singer Svetlana Loboda. The diva hinted that she was considering Svetlana as a successor, slightly altering her hit “Live in peace, country!”, changing the words of this song to “after all, you still have her. Everyone else is in the shadows. Sorry".

Due to the coronavirus pandemic at the beginning of 2020, Alla Borisovna and her family isolated themselves in their mansion. In order not to lose touch with fans, Alla and Maxim began to communicate more on social networks. As summer approached, they began farming on their plot of land. And, of course, they continued to delight fans with videos of the charming twins’ successes.

In 2013, the news that Alla Borisovna Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin became parents amazed everyone. Twins Elizabeth and Harry were born on September 18 thanks to a surrogate mother. While some said that the Diva should not have had children at that age, others were sincerely happy for her.
Now the couple's children have become almost more popular than the celebrities themselves. Fans are happy to read any news related to them and admire this simple family happiness. But Pugacheva and Galkin are not those stars who hide their children behind seven locks!
