Biography
Sergei Amoralov is a famous Russian pop artist and member of the cult group “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels”. In the late nineties, he was able to prove himself as a very talented singer and charismatic personality. It was thanks to this that the group had such a stunning success with listeners. He is also the author of most of the songs, so Sergei is the undisputed leader of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” for more than twenty years.
Youth and school years
Sergei Amoralov, whose photo you see in the article, was born on January 11, 1979 in Leningrad, where he eventually spent his entire childhood and youth. Despite the fact that Sergei later became a musician, his initial plans were to become a pilot. Quite an unusual choice for a young guy. Subsequently realizing that he would not be able to realize this dream, he decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and learn to be a mechanic. But this was not destined to come true in the end. The mother of the future pop star was busy with housework and raising her son, while the head of the family was away at work from morning to evening.
At school, Sergei was a fairly gifted student. Even in junior school, he managed to show his full potential in the field of gymnastics. He trained almost every day and was sure that someday he would be able to take up this sport professionally. But, as often happens, the injury put an end to his future career. As a result, he was forced to look for himself in some other activity.
No music
In his free time, the boy was seriously interested in gymnastics, which, unfortunately, he had to give up due to injury. Professional sports were replaced by an equally corrosive study of painting. Amoralov had no history of music; he had no intention of being an artist.
After school, the choice of a successful graduate fell on Architecture and Construction. A passion for fine arts played a role. The parents protested, realizing that their son could receive an excellent education at a more prestigious university, but he had already decided everything. However, he did not have to graduate from university.
Carier start
Subsequently, the young guy became interested in music. He could listen to the albums of his favorite artists all day long and sing along to them. Of all genres, he preferred alternative rock, which was incredibly popular in those years. Soon, thanks to this hobby, he was able to find his first like-minded person in the person of Garik Bogomazov. He was his neighbor, so they spent all their free time together, coming up with their own songs. Subsequently, they performed them in the courtyard of their house, which often caused dissatisfaction on the part of the residents. But then all this was just ordinary tomfoolery. Sergei could not even imagine that a few years later his passion for music would develop into something more.
This was followed by military service. After graduation, Amoralov tried to enter a higher educational institution, but lasted only a year. After that, he realized that it was time to look for his path in life. It was during this period of his life that he met Zinurov, who would soon become the lead singer of the group for many years. It was this acquaintance that led to the birth of a group called “Inveterate Scoundrels”.

Serves them right, m... and... in g.... - he suddenly said, raising his head. And, swinging his whip, he galloped, for the first time in the entire campaign, away from the joyfully laughing and roaring cheers that upset the ranks of the soldiers. The words spoken by Kutuzov were hardly understood by the troops. No one would have been able to convey the content of the field marshal’s first solemn and, at the end, innocently old man’s speech; but the heartfelt meaning of this speech was not only understood, but that same, that very feeling of majestic triumph, combined with pity for the enemies and the consciousness of one’s rightness, expressed by this, precisely this old man’s, good-natured curse - this very (feeling lay in the soul of every soldier and was expressed by a joyful cry that did not cease for a long time. When after this one of the generals turned to him with a question about whether the commander-in-chief would order the carriage to arrive, Kutuzov, answering, unexpectedly sobbed, apparently being in great excitement. November 8th is the last day of the Krasnenskys battles; it was already dark when the troops arrived at the place where they spent the night. The whole day was quiet, frosty, with light, sparse snow falling; in the evening it began to become clearer. Through the snowflakes, a black-purple starry sky could be seen, and the frost began to intensify. The musketeer regiment leaving Tarutino numbering three thousand, now, numbering nine hundred people, he was one of the first to arrive at the appointed place for the night, in a village on the high road. The quartermasters who met the regiment announced that all the huts were occupied by sick and dead Frenchmen, cavalrymen and staff. There was only one hut for the regimental commander. The regimental commander drove up to his hut. The regiment passed through the village and placed the guns on the goats at the outer huts on the road. Like a huge, multi-membered animal, the regiment set to work organizing its lair and food. One part of the soldiers scattered, knee-deep in the snow, into the birch forest that was to the right of the village, and immediately the sound of axes, cutlasses, the crackling of breaking branches and cheerful voices were heard in the forest; the other part was busy around the center of the regimental carts and horses, placed in a pile, taking out cauldrons, crackers and giving food to the horses; the third part scattered in the village, setting up headquarters rooms, selecting the dead bodies of the French lying in the huts, and taking away boards, dry firewood and straw from the roofs for fires and wattle fences for protection. About fifteen soldiers behind the huts, from the edge of the village, with a cheerful cry, were swinging the high fence of the barn, from which the roof had already been removed. - Well, well, together, lie down! - voices shouted, and in the darkness of the night a huge fence covered with snow swayed with a frosty crack. The lower stakes cracked more and more often, and finally the fence collapsed along with the soldiers pressing on it. There was a loud, crudely joyful cry and laughter. - Take two at a time! bring the horn here! that's it. Where are you going? - Well, at once... Stop, guys!.. With a shout! Everyone fell silent, and a quiet, velvety pleasant voice began to sing a song. At the end of the third stanza, at the same time as the end of the last sound, twenty voices cried out in unison: “Uuuu!” It's coming! Together! Pile on, kids!..” But, despite the united efforts, the fence moved little, and in the established silence one could hear heavy panting. - Hey you, sixth company! Devils, devils! Help us... we will also come in handy. Of the sixth company, about twenty people who were going to the village joined those dragging them; and the fence, five fathoms long and a fathom wide, bending, pressing and cutting the shoulders of the puffing soldiers, moved forward along the village street. - Go, or what... Fall, Eka... What happened? This and that... The funny, ugly curses did not stop. - What's wrong? – suddenly the commanding voice of a soldier was heard, running towards the carriers. - Gentlemen are here; in the hut he himself was anal, and you, devils, devils, swearers. I'll! – the sergeant major shouted and hit the first soldier who turned up in the back with a flourish. – Can’t you be quiet? The soldiers fell silent. The soldier who had been hit by the sergeant-major began, grunting, to wipe his face, which he had torn into blood when he stumbled upon a fence. - Look, damn, how he fights! “My whole face was bleeding,” he said in a timid whisper when the sergeant-major left. - Don’t you love Ali? - said a laughing voice; and, moderating the sounds of voices, the soldiers moved on. Having got out of the village, they spoke again just as loudly, peppering the conversation with the same aimless curses.
“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” and All-Russian Fame
Initially, they composed fairly simple melodies and supplemented them with equally simple lyrics. By that time, the usual composition of the group had already been completely formed. The friends approached the matter with enthusiasm and were completely absorbed in the creative process. Gradually, the level of their creativity increased noticeably. But “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” could not even dream of becoming famous throughout the country. The first serious step towards success was signing a professional contract with a producer. This is what brought the group to a new, much higher level.
Soon after, they made their first major performance and recorded a single called “Quit Smoking.” This song became a nationwide hit overnight. It could be heard both on TV and on all radio stations in the country. This led to the fact that the whole country learned about the daring young guys. Subsequently, they released their first record, which was a serious success among listeners.
But real success came with the release of subsequent hits, which are remembered to this day. This was followed by long musical tours, as well as participation at major festivals. The army of Fraudsters fans gradually increased. As a result, “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” began to quietly attract thousands of people. By this time, Sergei Amoralov had become the main star of the group and its leader. It was he who wrote most of the songs and did the vocals. Almost every young girl in the country was crazy about him. So we can say with complete confidence that it was he who became the reason for such a tremendous success of the group.
Story
“Our pride lies in the fact that we are not a production project. We were not selected based on the casting results. Initially, we had a different team, we read social rap almost with obscenities. Then we met Tom Chaos, a DJ, and started making dance music. Producers, Moscow - all this appeared much later. At first we performed at school discos and didn’t think that our project would be so famous.”
Sergey "Amoralov" Surovenko
Over the years of creativity of the group, 27 video clips were shot and 7 albums were recorded. The group’s hits include the songs “Quit Smoking”, “All sorts of things”, “I Love” (a cover of the song “Blue (Da Ba Dee)” by Eiffel 65), “Love me, love” (created in collaboration with the poet- songwriter Dmitry Panfilov), “Girls are different”, “And by the river”, “Pay attention” and others.
In the song “Hali-Gali” the group borrowed the main lead from the composition “I’ll Meet You at Midnight” (album “Midnight Cafe” 1976) by the British group Smokie, and in the composition “I Moved My Body” a sample was used from the group’s song “ a-ha "Lie Down in Darkness"
Decline in popularity
For ten years, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels dominated the charts and appeared regularly on television. Almost every person who lived at that time was in one way or another familiar with their work. But around the middle of the 2000s, a serious decline occurred. Quite a few new young performers have appeared, looking much more interesting and energetic than the “Fraudsters” who have fed up with many. So in just a few years they finally went into the shadows, where they remain to this day. Despite the fact that they did not officially announce their breakup, they appear in public on very rare occasions.
Personal life
Who is Sergei Amoralov's wife? This question worries many of his fans. In his younger years, Sergei had great success with the fair sex. He often started short-term affairs, but for a long time he was unable to build a serious relationship. This happened only with the advent of popularity, when he met the famous singer Dasha Ermolaeva. They were one of the most beautiful couples in Russian show business. But ultimately, after three years of dating, they called it quits.
A few years later, Amoralov found himself a new lover in the person of the girl Maria. Many were sure that this relationship would not last long. However, a year later they played a magnificent wedding. Sergei Amoralov and his wife Maria live together to this day. They can often be found at various social events. Also, Maria and Sergey often travel around the world, visiting a variety of countries. They still don’t have children, but they plan to correct this situation in the near future.
