A beautiful and young girl who starred in Philip Kirkorov’s videos left show business shortly before the official marriage of Philip and Alla Pugacheva. Although it is worth mentioning the fact that many fans still remember how Philip saw Maria Shatlanova as his wife. Whether their marriage was registered is still a secret information, despite the fact that it could last about 10 years, like the relationship between two lovers.

According to Maria herself, she decided to leave show business and Philip because she valued reality more and dreamed of having a real family, as well as becoming a mother. Now Maria is a yoga teacher in one of the capital's popular sports centers. You can meet Maria at her new job. A thin but beautiful girl with huge universal eyes.
Philip's relationship with a young girl
Maria talks about her ex-husband quite carefully and even with some caution, after all, he is a star. In one of her interviews, Maria stated that, having left Philip, she was left without work, after which she was very sick and looked completely unattractive. Kirkorov’s ex-wife simply needed to exist and earn a living, she managed to find a way, this method was yoga, and now she calls this interesting hobby salvation. According to Maria, she likes the present reality better, since it brings much more satisfaction than the previous one.

During such a long absence from the big stage, Masha got a husband and gave birth to a daughter exactly 6 years ago. Maria doesn’t talk much about her husband, she only says that he is a good and honest person who has done quite a lot of good to people and believes that this is quite enough for the press. The young girl and Philip met in 1988 at the Miss Moscow Region contest; it was at this beauty contest that Masha was lucky enough to win all the prizes and was invited to join the dance ensemble.

What Danko's heart says
The artist himself confirmed the fact of separation from his wife, saying that they had not communicated for more than six months, but there was no particular reason for the breakup of their family. It’s just that, according to Danko, the spouses are obviously tired of each other.
Natalya claims that Danko has completely stopped paying alimony, and calls for people to stop criticizing Maria. She, according to Ustyumenko, did not take anyone away from the family. The singer himself suspects that his ex-wife has another man, and that in one of the photographs Natalya is captured with a mysterious stranger, whose name is unknown. Danko believes that if she pays child support, Natalya will spend everything on herself.
Maria and Philip: why didn’t it work out?
At one time, Maria could not even think about show business and wanted to graduate from the aviation institute. After one of the concerts, Philip saw Masha, and at that moment she was 17 years old. Less than a week had passed when Philip immediately offered to go on tour with him, and now Masha was traveling with Philip on the train. Maria does not say whether it was easy for her with Philip as a person, rather in different ways. Naturally, a huge number of flights and concerts affected the relationship, and Masha by nature is a quiet and balanced girl, with a calm character.

Maria believes that the performer needs to relax, because concerts are stressful and for this reason she was not offended by him. At the time Philip and Maria met, Kirkorov was just beginning to climb the stellar ladder, and Masha tried to follow him. She understood how it was necessary to present herself and did not feel any selfish desire, perhaps for this reason their union looked so beautiful and graceful.

As Maria says, Philip was satisfied that she was not interested in money, and she was always simply interested in being around him. Agree, sincerity and purity and integrity have always been valued and valued by many people.

Maria, Good afternoon.
I recommend that you actively work on your pride. Otherwise, you will scare away all the students))) and the business owner will have nothing to pay rent with.)))) and your salary. In addition to the fact that you are a guide to such a wonderful thing as yoga, you first of all need to show respect, complicity and mentoring, and not put yourself above everyone else, much less allow yourself to speak about a person in the third person in front of all students. Although I admit that such an act, first of all, exposed your inadequacy in front of other students. First of all, your ignorance, it is simply indecent to comment on a person’s action in a negative light in a third person in front of the audience in his presence. You are not yet a Guru or even a Master of your calling - yoga, unlike perhaps your students who have succeeded in their work, so modesty adorns a yoga teacher)))). And students come to a yoga class, not at all because they owe something to the trainer, they need to achieve some standard, they came to train their heart, mind and body. Yoga is an extremely individual activity, and the trainer is just a guide, accomplice, mentor, so moderate your “stardom”. You are still very mediocre in your field. I can judge boldly, even if such an assessment is always subjective, but I have seen many true Masters. I understand that due to certain reasons, for example, lack of upbringing, love of parents, quality education, family or the inability to control one’s pride and causticism, a person tries to release his inadequacy on another, but this cannot be acceptable when a yoga instructor shifts his unconscious pride on the student-client. In addition to the fact that we are all students, we are also clients! There are several wonderful books about the external, for example, “Sincere Service (Nedyakin)” about how to behave with clients-students, how the owner could pay rent and salaries, and most importantly, bring sincere happiness to clients while in their service . About the connection of the internal with the external - Anatoly Nekrasov, Louise Hay, etc. - which, Maria, will help you find and increase true respect for yourself and for others, pacify your pride and ego, and love your business from the bottom of your heart. There are many sources of self-education, self-filling with goodness, which in your case is simply necessary. I have been studying at the center on Chistye Prudy for quite a long time, and in general I am a regular client, I know all the teachers and love them very much, and I hope to never see you in this center again, because you are not yet worthy of teaching there, don’t be offended , Please. The word “worthy” only means that you do not yet have the necessary skills and love in your heart to be a guide in the art of yoga. In addition, I told some of my friends about your attitude, I don’t think they will ever want to visit your class, now they know you. And also made an official appeal to the Administration of the Center. As you know, respect and love are very easy to lose and difficult to earn again. In turn, thank you very much for the lesson and your demonstration performance, now I know for sure that if a person is passionate about yoga, this does not mean at all that he is conscious, kind-hearted, for me it was another opportunity to look at myself from the outside.) ))))) If you need advice or any help in the process of awareness, please contact me. Sincerely! Olga.
Pugacheva vs. Shatlanova
At some moments, it seemed to Philip that Masha was similar to Pugacheva, although she, on the contrary, said that she and Alla Borisovna were different.

Maria also believes that Philip independently became a star without the help of Pugacheva. The thing is that, having achieved the required level, he was able to marry Pugacheva. Despite the fact that Alla and Philip’s marriage was short-lived, it is safe to say that the couple was quite bright in the entire Soviet show business. At some points in the interview, Maria admits that she dreams about that popular life, and the dream has the same plot: she does not get on stage. Having tasted fame, she realized that she liked this lifestyle, but over time, priorities and values changed and took on a more spiritual slant.

Masha tries not to hide her true age, because she believes that these are just numbers that do not determine anything in life. Maria meets Philip, but these meetings are completely random. For example, they crossed paths more than once in Sochi. The only meeting places were concerts and restaurants. Philip speaks very well of his former lover, saying that the talisman left him. These somewhat flattering words cannot but warm the soul of the beloved, because there were real sincere feelings between Philip and her.
Maria Shantanova: “I was labeled as a “beauty,” but I believe that the main thing is fortitude”

The Buryat actress and model spoke about her success story in an exclusive interview with an Inform Policy correspondent.
“Asian Angelina Jolie”, “the most beautiful Buryat woman”, “Buryat Barbie” - whatever epithets the media and social networks have given this girl. Indeed, thanks to her bright appearance, Maria Shantanova has achieved a lot. In China, she became the face of Nescafe and other major brands. While in Los Angeles, she collaborated with Dolce&Gabbana. However, in addition to beauty, the girl has a lively mind, strong energy and incredible determination. You become convinced of this when you meet Maria in person. Then it no longer seems surprising that it was her director Solbon Lygdenov who convinced her to try to become an actress; it was her who Steven Seagal invited to his project.
For the first time, model and actress Maria Shantanova spoke in detail about her path from Ulan-Ude to Hollywood, about her personal life and plans for the future in a long interview with Inform Policy.
About childhood
MY PARENTS WERE ALWAYS FRIENDS TO ME; they didn't force me to do anything I didn't want to do. They simply said: “It would be great if you spent more time studying.” My grandmother, who worked at the Amta factory, was a rather tough woman, everyone was under her leadership. But even she was softer towards me. I was enveloped in love and attention from all sides.
WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I WAS NOT CONSIDERED PRETTY, I was told that I was too thin.
IN THE 8TH GRADE I WAS ELECTED AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE SCHOOL, and it was not ambition. I always wanted to do things that other kids don't do. When we had a council, they decided that we needed a leader. And I was elected. It was not a problem for me to organize the work. But I had problems speaking in public, and I struggled with this for a very long time.
I'M NOT VERY IMPRESSED BY GIRLS WHO WEAR ALL PINK, to be honest. Therefore, when at school they tried to label me “beautiful,” I associated this word with this image. And I didn't like it. I understood that appearance is not the criterion by which I should be judged. My stepfather, whom I also consider my dad, is an athlete. He instilled in me that the most important thing is health and fortitude. Every day we ran with him in the morning and doused ourselves with cold water. I devoted a lot of time to sports and general development.
About business
I ALWAYS SEEN MYSELF IN THE ROLE OF A BUSINESSWOMAN and for some reason I dreamed of buying my mother a chic fur coat. During my first year of study in Beijing, I started working as a translator and began earning some money. And a year later I saved up for my mother to buy such a fur coat and sent it to her by train to Ulan-Ude. And it was such happiness!
AT FIRST STUDYING IN CHINA DIDN’T GO WELL, at the age of 16 I came to the small town of Huanggang. And there was no program, no textbooks, no good teachers. Although it was promised that everything would be up to standard. And I started a rebellion: I went to the rector and demanded a refund. I wanted to get the best. When we finally managed to get them back, my girlfriend and I boarded a train to Beijing. I found a suitable good university, but we were no longer accepted there - the academic year was in full swing. Having learned about this, our parents were shocked, they came for us and took us back to Buryatia. But the next year I went to Beijing again - I entered the “Chinese Moscow State University,” a university of the Qin dynasty. And this time everything went well (smiles). I studied the language for a year, and after four years I studied to become an interior designer.
THE BUSINESS STARTED WITH A CLOTHING STORE. While I was studying, I sent fashionable clothes to the Four Seasons store in Ulan-Ude. I bought everything from China that was modern and stylish to my taste. When I was studying to become a designer, the teacher took us to a furniture factory and told us that he was also involved in the business of exporting furniture. He explained that I could do this too. And my parents opened a furniture salon in Ulan-Ude, where I began sending goods.
AND THEN THE CRISIS ARRIVED. A few years later, my friends and I opened a company in China that supplied building materials and furniture. Things were going well, we were sending equipment to factories in Moscow and Irkutsk. But at the beginning of 2015, a crisis came. Our partners froze their projects and were unable to pay for goods already ordered. I lost a lot of money and couldn't believe it happened. Frankly speaking, our family has somehow recovered from this shock. But, as it turned out, everything was only for the better.
About a modeling career
I GOT INTO THE MODELING BUSINESS BY ACCIDENT. I was 21 years old, graduated from university. We were sitting with friends in a cafe in Beijing. A Chinese woman approached me and asked if I would like to participate in the Nescafe casting. I thought it was a joke, since I am small for a model, height 165 cm. In addition, I did not consider myself a beauty, I was wearing some kind of cap, I looked more like a tomboy. But I decided to try. And this was my very first casting. I had never gone to a modeling school before, never been photographed professionally, and didn’t know how to pose. And in the end, out of a hundred Chinese women, they chose me.
I REALIZED THAT I CAN'T JUST ACT, after a year of working as a model. I collaborated with the top modeling agency Elite model in China, my photos were on the covers of various magazines. Afterwards I was chosen as the face of the Chinese cosmetics chain Watsons (like L'Etoile in Russia). At first I thought it was fun: taking pictures, communicating and also getting paid for it. But soon it just became boring. I didn’t see any prospects or development in modeling. I was more interested in my business. In addition, I was thinking about having a child. For some reason, I wanted to become a mother before I was 25.
About Buryatia
I WILL DEFINITELY LEARN THE BURYAT LANGUAGE, I plan to somehow go to a place where there will be a suitable language environment. After all, my heroine in the video “Speaking Buryat” is very close to me. I speak Chinese, English, and I understand but don’t speak Buryat. But we learn a language when we “live in it.” No other way.
I AM A PURE BURYAT. Nobody believes me, but it's true. I believe in this, although my mother is green-eyed and her maiden name is Demidova. My great-great-aunt said that we have Polish roots. I don't know, this is unconfirmed information. You can do a genetic test in America. But even if there are some other roots, I’m still a Buryat. And this is not even discussed.
I RECENTLY MET GERARD BUTLER, a Hollywood actor. We became friends, communicated, corresponded. When meeting people, I always explain to everyone what Baikal is and where it is located. I love my homeland, my native land, and I believe that Buryatia should be known. Gerard didn’t understand at first, he asked again, then he started googling and finally figured it out. But John Fusco, producer of the series “Marco Polo,” knows about the Buryats and Mongols, probably even more than we do ourselves.
About Hollywood and happiness
WHEN I ARRIVED IN NEW YORK, THE TAXI DRIVER ADDRESSED ME IN RUSSIAN, even though I arrived on a flight from Hong Kong. How did they guess that I was from Russia? (laughs). I came to the States at the invitation to audition for a role in the third season of the series “Marco Polo”. And this is how it turned out: my good friend, who used to work as a model and is now an actor, said: “Let’s try ourselves in cinema!” And I sent my video card to Bey Logan, the head of the Asian division of the American film company The Weinstein Company, which released such films as “The Lord of the Rings”, “Gangs of New York”, etc. He decided that I was suitable for the role in the series “Marco Polo” .
I AM STANDING IN QUEUE, AND NEARBY LANA DEL REY, a famous American singer. Of course, I knew that in Los Angeles I could meet stars. But so close?! The fact is that upon arrival I was invited to the pre-Oscar party of The Weinstein Company. At the next table, Jared Leto, Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton, and Lady Gaga sang on stage. It was something incredible. Of course, a hand reached out to ask for an autograph, to take a photo. But I understand that all the stars themselves are there. And such an act will look strange. I became friends with Harvey Weinstein, Gerard Butler, Billy Zane. John Fusco told me: Welcome to Hollywood! ("Welcome to Hollywood!")
WHAT ABOUT THE PROJECT WITH STEVEN SEGAL, it’s a little stuck for now. The film is planned to be shot in Thailand. Seagal, by the way, contacted me through Bey Logan - he was looking for actresses for a new film. It is unknown when the project will be implemented, but I know that I have an interesting role, for which I need to change my hair color. The genre of the film is action.
I AM CONFIDENT THAT I WILL FIND MY ROLE, for some reason I have inner confidence that everything will work out. If this project doesn’t happen, then another one will definitely happen. Yes, failures happen. So what? We just need to move on. And you just need to be able to communicate. Even if there is a great and famous person in front of me, I, as always, behave openly, simply, without ingratiating myself, but with respect. And I also joke with them, tease them. (smiles).
FOR ME HAPPINESS IS SIMPLE, I don’t have any big cherished dreams. I just dream that my parents and grandmother are healthy. For my sister to do what she loves, my daughter is happy. My daughter is my biggest motivation in life.
HOLLYWOOD IS THE PLACE WHERE DREAMS NOT ONLY COME TRUE, but are also broken. I saw how people gave up and couldn’t stand it mentally. One hundred thousand actors a day come to Hollywood. Therefore, I don’t want to set anyone up: go ahead, go, take risks! First, I need to listen to the teachers, make sure I have the support of my family, without this, nothing would have worked out for me, for example. Get ready for the fact that there will be no quick results. The most important thing is to develop, learn languages, increase IQ, and play sports. And out of all this, your calling, your success, will naturally come.
Leaving the stage. Why?
Very often Maria says that she had to leave the stage because of Alla Borisovna, who hated her with all her heart. It was Alla Borisovna who made Maria leave the big stage. Masha does not hide this position, and Alla Borisovna did not comment on this situation in any way. Maria, in turn, wants to say: she is happy that Kirkorov was in her life, and for this moment she sincerely thanks him. This sincerity is direct proof that love existed and, in part, may not even have passed.

Who is he in a relationship with?
Maria constantly jokes about this topic. And sometimes quite caustic. For example, when subscribers on social networks ask if she slept with the channel producer in order to get a job, she answers in the affirmative. Moreover, Rybakova continues, I sleep with him now. After all, this is my husband. But seriously, the personal life of the charming TV presenter is a tightly sealed secret.
Maria does not deny the existence of her other half, but she does not voice her chosen one’s personal information either. Apparently, the time to reveal the truth has not yet come.
Art of War
The highest pilots' sniper skills are duels with the same enemy snipers. Natalya and Maria emerged victorious from such battles more than once.
Natasha, sending letters to family and friends, asked to write to Masha, so that her friend would have more fun fighting. By that time, the war had already taken two brothers from Maria Polivanova, and in every battle she took revenge on the Nazis for them.
The counting of time at the front is completely different. By the spring of 1942, female snipers were not just experienced fighters - they trained recruits. Their students also very quickly replenished the personal account of the destroyed enemy soldiers and officers.
According to some reports, Natalya Kovshova personally destroyed 167 Wehrmacht soldiers and officers, Maria Polivanova - about 140. A number of historians consider these data to be exaggerated, but there is no doubt that the girls caused serious damage to the Nazis.
On August 13, 1942, by order of the troops of the Northwestern Front, Red Army soldiers Natalya Kovshova and Maria Polivanova were awarded the Order of the Red Star. But the girls did not have time to receive their well-deserved awards.
