His father, Pyotr Ivanovich, worked as an engineer for northern aviation. And my mother, Valentina Petrovna, was a librarian. But despite the fact that Volodya’s parents were far from show business, music was always in their lives. My mother sang in an amateur choir, and my father played the trumpet in an orchestra and collected records.
Vladimir Politov in childhood
So the eldest of the Politov sons became interested in music from childhood. He attended classes at a music school, where he mastered playing the guitar and clarinet.
The village of Batagai, where Volodya’s family lived, was small. Immediately after graduating from school, Politov went to enroll in Riga, then transferred to Moscow, but never completed his studies, becoming a member of a pop group led by Bari Alibasov.

He decided to hide the fact that Vladimir dropped out of college and became an artist from his parents. Moreover, he did not communicate with them at all for almost two years. He understood that the educational situation would sadden them and wanted to get back on his feet first. Today he regrets his decision, since he never had time to talk to his father. He died suddenly while Politov was on tour.
Vyacheslav Zherebkin
After serving in the tank forces and working at a factory, Slava passed a serious casting for “Na-Na”. The charming bass guitarist quickly became popular. He was in excellent physical shape, radiated positive energy, and his charming smile drove his fans crazy. The difficult path that Vyacheslav Zherebkin overcame with the group “Na-Na” did not leave a trace of the once provincial boy who dreamed of becoming a clown.
Now he is an experienced, confident, purposeful and self-sufficient man who stands firmly on his feet. Today he can only afford to do what he loves.

In 1994, Vyacheslav became a father for the first time - his wife Tatyana gave birth to a daughter, Ksenia. Today there are four children in the family, with the youngest son Denis born a year ago.
Music
In 1990, after a serious competitive selection, Politov was accepted into the Na-Na group as a bass player. Talent and external data helped the artist defeat his rivals. In his youth, the brown-eyed singer was very attractive; with a height of 175 cm, he had an athletic physique and the plasticity of a dancer.
Vladimir Politov and the group “Na-Na”
Having settled into the team, Vladimir began to try himself as a vocalist. The infamous song performed by Politov was the composition “Faina”. She brought the musician the title of domestic sex symbol of the 90s. Despite his ostentatious hypersexuality, Politov’s character is a very calm, thoughtful and non-conflict person.
Vladimir Politov - “Faina”
The first videos of the Na-Na group secured the young people’s status as the most desirable men on the Russian stage in the 90s. Politov and his colleagues performed in costumes made of thin and translucent materials and performed provocative movements on stage. The girls learned their songs by heart. “Where have you been”, “Faina”, “The hat fell” - these compositions were heard on the radio of all stations.

Their loyal fans from the 90s still come to the Nanai concerts. This is largely the merit of Vladimir Politov. Over many years of working together, Vladimir developed friendly relations with the producer. Bari Alibasov is so close to his ward from Yakutia that he gave him the playful nickname “Chukchi”.

Personal life
Politov’s personal life was hidden from the eyes of his fans for a long time. In 1999, Vladimir married a girl named Olga. In an interview, Politov said that it took him a long time to choose his wife. Beautiful girls showed attention to the musician, but he was looking for a soul mate. After the wedding, he hid Olga from the public in order to protect his image as an approachable guy and the nerves of his wife, who would have to deal with disappointed fans. The couple lived in harmony, despite the musician's busy touring schedule.

Soon after the wedding, Politov's wife gave birth to a daughter, Alena. The singer was on tour in Los Angeles at that time. Olga Politova was the musician’s wife for almost ten years. The couple realized that their passion had faded and divorced, remaining on friendly terms.
Politov and his ex-wife raised their child together and sometimes vacationed together with Olga’s parents. Alena lived with her mother in India, but visited her father often. Vladimir and his daughter loved to spend time outdoors, at the artist’s dacha near Moscow.

The bachelor status again aroused the interest of fans in Politov, because the idol’s family and children are an obstacle to the love of some fans.
After starting his career in the Na-Na group, Politov had a resounding success with women. The love of fans brought Vladimir not only positive emotions. The girls wrote love messages with a nail on Politov’s car and threw smoke bombs into the studio to see their idol on the street.
In 2020, Bari Alibasov gave a candid interview, where he revealed intimate details of the Na-na soloists. He himself witnessed how 50-60 girls lined up to see Vladimir Politov. And it was a round-the-clock “duty.” Politov came out, pointed at 2-3 of them, and they left happy after him. Once, during a tour in Saratov, Alibasova was thrown under the door of a hotel room.
Vladimir Politov - “If there were no nights”
In 2011, a tragedy occurred that is an order of magnitude higher than all the classic “tricks” of fans in love. Margarita Gileva, head of the Vladimir Politov fan club, died. According to investigators, the girl was killed by another fan of the musician out of jealousy. The musician was very upset by what happened, his illness worsened - a year before he had undergone serious surgery on his knees. In this case, he was a witness in court. And at concerts for some time he was accompanied by a nurse who injected him with painkillers.
A year after the tragedy, the Na-Na group had a concert near Margarita Gileva’s native village. At the request of the girl’s parents, Politov visited her grave and visited the house of the deceased fan.

The sex symbol of the 90s has a lot of tattoos on his body. By the way, he got his first tattoo even before he met Bari Alibasov. At his request, the master depicted a cobra on his shoulder. Fans have long tried to figure out the meaning of the tattoo, or at least the events preceding it. But, as it turned out, Politov made it just like that, without putting deep meanings into the image. As a result, the cobra was shaded and redrawn, and monograms and eyes appeared on the artist’s shoulders and chest.
At the end of 2020, Vladimir opened an account on the social network Instagram. On this page Politov posts photos with colleagues and fans. More often than others, the lead singer of the group “Na-na” and his friend Vyacheslav Zherebkin appear on his Instagram. The men have a common hobby; in their free time from touring, they like to go fishing.

There are rumors on the Internet that Politov has an affair with dancer Anastasia Sergeeva, she performs with ballet at Na-na concerts. But things didn’t go further than rumors. The singer does not confirm this information.
Vladimir Politov now
The musician continues to be the lead singer of the Na-Na group. In 2020 it will be 28 years since Politov joined the group. Today he and Vyacheslav Zherebkin have to work with guys half their age. The men admit that the younger members of the group set a unique tone, which helps the “old guys” stay collected and focused. The band tours and continues to sell out houses.

Vladimir also has a solo project. In Europe, the man is known as a DJ. More than four years have passed since the release of the group’s last studio album; perhaps in the near future Bari Alibasov and his charges will delight fans with new compositions.
At the beginning of 2020, “Na-Na” already managed to release a new song called “Zinaida”. Despite his age (Politov will turn 48 at the end of 2018), the singer does not hesitate to perform the popular composition “Faina” half-naked, as he did in his youth.
“Hello, Andrey” - Vladimir Politov
In 2020, Vladimir Politov became a guest of Andrei Malakhov’s program “Hello, Andrei!” His ex-wife Olga also gave an interview there for the first time. It turned out that initially they had no plan to connect their lives. It’s just that Vova didn’t have a Moscow registration, and Olga decided to help him get one. True, for this it was necessary to get married. The girl then told him that after the documents were ready, they would immediately divorce. But when it came to this, Politov replied that he did not want to.
Today Olga lives in Germany. The woman married a second time and became a mother again. Politov maintains good relations with his ex-wife and is friends with her new family. And Alena immediately after graduating from high school in Germany moved to live with her father. Vladimir bought her an apartment in the Moscow region. For now, they live together in an elite new building overlooking the yacht club.
Vladimir Politov today
Today Vladimir Politov has become serious and thorough; little remains from the past flighty and loving “Don Juan”. His mother Valentina Petrovna said in an interview that he dreams of a son. She admits that she constantly asks him when he will finally get married. But with age, Vladimir became more picky about women. But meeting an understanding, faithful and devoted girl is not so easy.
