The mother of the future star, Tatyana Shepeleva, worked at that time as a classical pianist at concerts in her hometown.

But already in 1980, the Shepelevs' life changed: Tatyana was offered a good position in the Ministry of Culture, but for this she needed a move to Moscow. Tatyana did not doubt for a minute, realizing that this move would be an excellent chance for her daughter as well. Education in the world of classical music led to the fact that the girl very early wanted to plunge into this world herself. And all the girl's further education was associated only with music.

Larisa Chernikova - Singing career

You can rarely find in the biographies of famous singers such facts as Larisa Chernikova has. It is known that immediately after moving to Moscow, a talented girl begins her career in the Moscow church choir.

In 1992, while studying at the Institute of Culture, Larisa entered the famous Song and Dance Ensemble, led by Nadezhda Babkina. One and a half years of work in this ensemble did not pass without leaving a trace, and the future star was able to understand many aspects of her work. Therefore, immediately after finishing work in the ensemble, she begins her solo career.


Her own Solo career started with the first in her musical biography such a large-scale performance at Luzhniki in 1994, where she sang the song Music of the Rain, and then released a video for this musical composition... Hearing the song and watching Larisa's video, producer Sergei Obukhov offered her a joint job. The signed contract said that their joint work should last at least 10 years. And soon a new music video is released, created not only by Larisa Chernikova herself, but also by her producer.

Then, in the life of a pop star, only career successes followed: 1995 - the debut album "Lone Wolf", 1996 - the album "Give Me the Night". The song "Don't be afraid" from the second album became a real hit and began to occupy the first lines in all charts.
Despite the tragic situation in the family (the death of her husband), Larisa Vladimirovna Chernikova tried to hold on and continued to release new music videos and albums. She dedicated one of the albums to her husband Andrey Chernikov. Constant touring and shooting undermined the health of the fragile pop star, therefore, not keeping up with such a tight schedule, she breaks the contract with Sergei Obukhov.

From that moment on, the mother becomes the producer of Chernikova. Changing the direction of her music, in 1997 she presented her new album "Secret" to the audience. At the same time, her song "Airplane in Love" becomes a real hit in her creative biography, and Larisa herself becomes the most popular star in Russia.

Larisa's personal life was tragic and happy. The star got married very early to businessman Andrei Chernikov. The husband helped his wife in every possible way, and even rented a recording studio for her. In 1996, Larisa's husband was killed.

For a very long time, Larisa Chernikova experienced the death of her husband, but did not stop working. And this time she devotes both songs and videos, and even an album to him.

The other day the girl was supposed to be prepared for transportation to Moscow, but they did not have time, Larisa Chernikova died.

Alexander Domogarov spoke about his acquaintance with Larisa Chernikova. The actor has long known that his beloved woman Larisa Chernikova is struggling with cancer.

According to Domogarov, Chernikova told him about this on the fourth day of their acquaintance.

“This diagnosis was made a long time ago, even before we met. I knew that it was. Only now no one knew when this hour X would come. It's scary to live and understand that it will come.

She is really a fighter, she is a fighter, even now, in this state. I will not specify what is there, it is not so important. This is oncology. Such a serious oncology.

And she lived with it for many years. All those years that we knew each other. And from time to time there were courses of rehabilitation in different clinics "- said the actor.

Alexander Yuryevich admitted that he considers his acquaintance with Larisa very funny and now he himself hardly believes that such amazing story could have happened to him.

“I was flying from the city of Simferopol, and I was very annoyed by the girl sitting behind, who was talking very loudly. Moreover, sometimes such peculiar phrases were mentioned.

Once I turned around and said: "Can I be quieter?" I was shown roughly where I needed to go. The second time he said: "Please, girl, be quiet."

We got off the plane together already. Naturally. Her mother told us: “You should have seen your eyes when you walked. Happy. For an hour and a half of flight, people somehow got along, found a common language, and then there was a fantastic discovery for me.

Because I have never met such energy in such a small and fragile person before. She solved problems for seven, ten, fifteen minutes - this is the maximum. But then there was this terrible sentence, which had already been pronounced. "

But one day Larisa Chernikova came to one of Domogarov's performances and handed him a bouquet of flowers with a note in which her phone number was indicated.

“How we got back together, how this union of two souls happened, I don’t know this. It was five years ago, "- said Domogarov.

She graduated from a music school in piano and went to continue her education at the famous Gnessin School. But then the classics began to bore her. In 1992, Larisa was transferred to the Institute of Culture, which, by the way, she graduated with honors, and is also a member of the Folk Song Ensemble. With this famous singer the girl worked for more than a year and a half, and then began a solo career.

On the whole, the album was well received, but the second disc became much more successful.

The singer dedicated this album to her own husband, who tragically died in the spring of 1996. Despite her personal grief, the singer continued to record new songs and perform. The song of the same name "Give me a night" took the first lines of the music charts.

Even more fame is brought to the singer by the new hits "Mystery", "First Desire" and "Airplane in Love", also called "I love you, Dima ...". "Airplane in love" is expected to take first places in a number of charts.

In the same year, the singer breaks off the contract with Sergei Obukhov. Larisa Chernikova starts working with another producer and, in addition, changes the composition of her own dance group. The singer's style of performances approaches classical pop music.

In August 1997 Larisa Chernikova released a new album "Secret", recorded at the studio "Media Star".

In 1997, Larisa Chernikova began working at the Moscow radio station "Open Radio", where she hosted weekly programs. Also in 1997, the singer recorded a comic song "Greedy" in two versions of the arrangement. The song was recorded in the Eurodance style, which was fashionable at that time.

In 1998-1999, the singer disappeared in the studio, working on phonograms. Larisa Chernikova recorded phonograms for concerts dedicated to famous authors of words and music for songs, for example, over the new song "Remember and Don't Need ..." by Martynov and Mateta and others. Lyrics for a number of songs Larisa wrote independently.

A big hit was the cover version of the song “Why” by the Swedish singer Pandora, which Larisa sang in Russian under the title “Who ?! ..”. The musician dedicated this song deceased husband... In addition, Larisa Chernikova creatively rethought another famous song... The song "And my mother", which sounds in the singer's album, goes back to the 1982 song "Nurgetraumt" by the famous German singer Nena, performed by the singer Blumchen in the Happy Hardcore style. Also during this period the songs "One sip" and "You do not come" appeared.

Also Larisa Chernikova presented clips for songs from the album. In 2000, a video clip for the song "Sailor" was released, a little later for the composition "I want to be with you" and "This truth is love". V next year premieres of two more music videos took place - for the songs “ Nautical romance"And" I've been waiting for you. "

Then followed the new discs "I will rain ..." and "About love without melting", which differed from the early dance albums in their romantic orientation. In the same period, Larisa Chernikova recorded the song "With Good morning", Which became a hit of the singer.

The last full-length studio disc by Larisa Chernikova was the 2008 album "Angel", which was released after a long break. But then the singer disappeared from the horizon again Russian stage, and only in 2016 announced her desire to return to creativity.

Personal life

Even in the third year of the institute, Larisa married businessman Andrei Chernikov, took her husband's surname and it was under her that she received all-Russian recognition. The husband supported Larisa's musical endeavors in every possible way: he rented recording studios for her, helped in the selection of material. But in April 1996, Andrei was killed. The singer had to pay off the deceased's debts that remained after her death.

Having moved to America, Larisa gave birth to a son, Cyril, in 2005, but family life cracked - James became addicted to alcohol.

After going through the divorce proceedings, the woman did not return to Russia, as she met a new lover. It turned out to be an American farmer Richard, who took the singer down the aisle for the third time. But this marriage was short-lived - Richard confessed to multiple infidelities, and his wife did not forgive him.

Larisa Chernikova took a break from her musical biography and plunged into rural life. On her own farm she learned to take care of cows and other farm animals, she lived by selling natural products of her own production.

But as the 41-year-old singer admitted on the air of the program "Tonight", she really wants to have a second child, so she agrees to consider the option with a sperm donor. But they should only be a representative of the Slavic nationality. This statement shocked viewers and sparked a wave of rumors and gossip on the Internet. But as the press knows today, the singer has not yet managed to find a donor.

Subsequently, Larisa Chernikova admitted that she was desperate and stopped looking for a donor. According to the singer, a number of men wrote to the woman about this, but future donors asked fabulous sums for this service. One doctor even tried to clandestinely sell donor material from his own clinic to the singer. As a result, Larisa became convinced that in addition to having a second child, the human attitude of the father of this child is also important to her.


It should also be noted that a rumor is often circulated on the Internet that Larisa Chernikova fell into a coma and then died. But the fact is that this tragedy happened to the singer's full namesake - the actor's beloved.

Larisa Chernikova now

In 2016, Larisa Chernikova unexpectedly interrupted her creative rest and released a mini-album "Mantra to the Sun". The singer's new compositions were strongly influenced by the new measured and simple life Larissa. Now the singer is singing mantras in Sanskrit.

- Larissa, you haven't been seen for a long time! Tell us where you disappeared to?

I have been living in America for 12 years - since I married an American. I was about thirty when, in search of a husband, I once wrote on a foreign dating site. This is how Joshua and I met. Not that I was somehow too concerned about the problem of marriage, but I wanted a family and a child. I also looked closely at Russian men, but it did not work out. One of the fans did not give a pass: "I love you, I love you ..." And then he stole my car and crashed it. It seemed that the prince on a white horse would come from across the sea. I did not think about America and at that time I had never been there. So it's just a coincidence that future husband turned out to be an American citizen. But he lived in Thailand, did business.
Outwardly, Joshua is Apollo: tall, oblique fathom in the shoulders. Fifty (21 years older than me), looked much younger. A former athlete, he looked after himself all his life. Struck by both appearance and erudition. I was sure that I pulled out a lucky ticket. It was impossible to compare him with those narrow-minded guys with gold chains on their chests, for whom I often sang at corporate parties. I did not expect that in the future I would ogreb to the fullest. She believed that marriage is forever. From Thailand, where our son Kirill was born, soon moved to Texas: I didn't want to stay with the baby in Pattaya, among all these bars and transvestite shows.

- Did you quickly get used to America?

That's strange ... When I flew to America for the first time and got off the plane, I looked around, sniffed the air, listened to the sounds around me, realized that I was all familiar with this! How can this be? Surely in past life I have already been to those places. I quickly learned the language, literally a month later I spoke fluently. I didn’t yearn for Moscow, where I grew up. She treated the changes philosophically: a wonderful creative period, popularity was already there - now it's time to create a cool family. By the way, I would not idealize the Americans. Of course, everyone is polite and smiling. At first, they like themselves and their mowed lawns. And only with time you will learn that it is normal to go to the council and file a complaint against the neighbors for the fact that their lawn is not mowed well enough. Or, hearing how the mother shouted at the child, call the police, ask to deprive her parental rights... I strongly dislike their values, it seems strange that from the 5th grade children are taught there how to use condoms. For this reason, my son is homeschooled.

I have not grown up with friends, I communicate with three girls, they are also Russian. We have a peculiar mentality, we do not like to clump together. There is a Russian ladies club not far from Houston, where I live, but it is not popular with compatriots. But Hawaiian or Jewish ladies support each other, constantly get together.

And bring American husband there was no desire for us? He would quickly find a job in Moscow, and your career would not suffer ...

Joshua is wary of Russia. It all started with his first visit to Moscow, after a year of correspondence, when we decided to meet in person. The groom settled closer to Red Square, dreaming of walking around the capital and ... in the very first exchange office, where he changed dollars, he was robbed. So there was no question of moving. When we signed, and this happened here in Moscow, we lived in two countries for a couple of years. He has business in Thailand, I have concerts in Russia. We flew to each other in free time... But this did not affect the feelings. We got married by mutual love, besides passion, we were united by friendship. Perhaps that is why I endured his unrestrained drunkenness for so long and divorced only three years ago. At the same time, we continue to communicate, the ex-husband often comes to visit us.

- Did you drink by the time you met?

He carefully concealed his addiction ... rare meetings what's happening? A man and a woman swagger, show only good things. We moved in together when I got pregnant. Cyril was born, and the "young" daddy ... went into a binge. I was just shocked by this! My mother said that, they say, men are all foolish when a child is born. But not to the same extent! For three months he drank incessantly. I would return to Moscow, but what about the newborn? This is a serious stress for the baby. They flew away when Kirill grew up a little. The husband flew in after, asked for forgiveness, threw flowers - and we went to the "sweet" American life... We bought a house in the state of Texas, started a farm: cows, goats, chickens ... The farm is small, only 20 heads of cattle. But, of course, there were enough worries. Alas, nothing stopped our dad. Human nature is lazy. I would work like everyone else, go to the office, maybe with alcoholism and cope with it. And he was his own head, he kept a job company. Things were going well, Joshua is charismatic, his tongue is hanging, there were a lot of clients, but because of drunkenness, his business was lost. I fought as best I could: I took him to the doctors, and begged, and prayed for him ...

He stopped drinking many times, was treated, but it did not help: he will hold out a short time and breaks down again. We must pay tribute, Joshua drank culturally, did not arrange wild scenes. I don’t know if I would have dared to part with him (it’s hard to admit even to myself that I lost this round, the family life I dreamed of didn’t work out) if it were not for my son. Once Kirill said: "Mom, let's not live with dad?" The son was then 8 years old. He's wise beyond his years - probably, life's troubles, the difficult relationship between mom and dad made him grow up. After his request, I put in family life point, but, having divorced, wilted. She sat down and began to feel sorry for herself. I didn't want to do anything! But again, for the sake of the child, she pulled herself together. Loaded myself with work on the farm, went to realtor courses. Because the cows, of course, feed us (people like fresh food), but big money they don't. But it was necessary to pay off the loan for the new house, which I bought after the divorce.

- I wonder what he looks like?

Two-storey, with five bedrooms, a games room and a kitchen. The material is simple drywall: in America they do not build monumental housing, as in Russia. Land - three acres (about 120 acres. - Approx. "TN").

Three years have passed since the divorce - you continue to live in America. Do you want to return to Moscow? Or are you worried that your fans have forgotten you?

While we will live in two countries. In Moscow she recorded the album "Mantras in Sanskrit", it will be out soon. After one of my trips to India, I realized that I want to grow spiritually, and maybe it sounds pompous, to make the world a better place. I am a singer, which means that God gave me a little more opportunities than others, it is worth using. The first part of my life I lived selfishly, thinking only about myself, beloved. Now I want to do something good for people too!

After so many years in the countryside, in nature, on cow's milk, a coloratura soprano cut through me. Hear it on the new album. But at concerts in retro style, I sing in the voice that my fans remember. And judging by their reaction and warm welcome, they have not forgotten who Larisa Chernikova is. Nice, but ... doesn't matter. I don’t litter the past, I don’t remember the time when everyone knew my songs. Another part of life has come - and, it seems, insanely interesting.

- I heard that you returned to Russia not only for the sake of a new album ...

I do not hide that I am looking for a donor for an unborn child - with a rare, negative, Rh factor, like mine. I almost died when she gave birth to Kirill, because ex-husband Rh is positive. I regret that I did not risk getting pregnant again - the body would have coped with it when I was young. And I, like a fool, waited for my husband to stop drinking. I will tell the TELENEDELA readers: if you want children, do not wait for something to happen - time is inexorable.

In general, it was probably worth giving birth in the first marriage - with Andrei Chernikov. But then I was young, immersed in my career ... We did not have time to think about children: my husband was killed.

- Larissa, this is a terrible page in your biography. Can you tell us about the person whose last name you carry?

Uncle Andrey, my neighbor, introduced us. It was love at first sight. We got married almost immediately, I was 18, he was 26. Andrei was a handsome, good, bright man with a clear head. In the 1990s he created large company for the sale of metal. And he quickly got up, because he worked very hard. He was proud that his wife was a singer and happily invested in the Larisa Chernikova project. And by the way, he defended my name before the first producer - Sergei Obukhov. He wanted to take a distillery company as a sponsor and for me to perform under the pseudonym Larisa Cherry. But Andrey didn’t allow it. And he always said: "You sing, and I will help." We thought that a great future awaits us. But at the time, quick money meant big problems. I was finishing my second album - "Give me a night". Andrey was in the studio in the evening - he was often present at the recording. And then he said goodbye and went home, said that he would get up early in the morning. She returned - he is not ... A day later, my husband was found at his father's grave with a bullet wound to the head. The version of the investigation: suicide. But this is nonsense! How can you shoot yourself in the left temple if the person is not left-handed ?! Andrey's death was reported to me by his brother. We went with him to the office of the company, and there the employees are already plundering everything: who is dragging the computer, who is the printer ...

I don’t know how I would have coped with the loss if not for my mother. After Andrey's murder, I returned to my parents, to our apartment in Sokolniki. One fine morning, skin-headed boys came there and said that I owed them fifty thousand dollars (crazy money at that time!), Which my husband borrowed. A week later they ordered to return. I didn’t have any savings, so when the debt expired, I expected to be shot in the back as I left the house. I didn’t want to die, I was only 21 years old, but I thought: "They will kill this way."

- Why not go to the police, write a statement?

In the 1990s, it was all useless. My mother saved me: she went to a showdown with the bandits - and in the end somehow inspired the "brothers" that it was not worth touching the girl, there was still no money. And at the same time she convinced me that life goes on. Made me pass exams and graduate from the Institute of Culture. Slowly she picked me up, sorted out the problems. You know, I still dream about Andrei, although 21 years have passed ... (I thought for a long time.) We talk with him about life, about my plans ...

- Larissa, how did you get on the stage?

I have been studying music since childhood, my mother is a professional pianist. As a girl, she sang for a short time in the church choir in the Epiphany Cathedral, which is next to the Baumanskaya metro station. Then she sang in the "Heritage" ensemble, in the second line-up of the "Russian Song" ensemble, led by Babkina. I did not dream of some kind of high-profile career and fame then - I just learned a profession from those who achieved a lot in it. From the same Babkina she adopted the manner of going on stage with a smile - no matter what happens, no sour mine!

Even if you didn't think about fame, the song "Plane in Love", which the audience knows as "I love you, Dima", became a hit on long years! How did it come about?

Composer Igor Korsukov showed me this song and invited me to sing it. The chorus was different: "You disappeared like a plume of smoke." I came up with: "I love you, Dima" And I convinced the guys that this option is better.

- Who is this Dima?

Once upon a time, a philanthropist named Dmitry appeared, who liked my work, and gave me and producer Sergei Obukhov a decent amount of money. We had no relationship - just a person did a good deed. We were able to record half of the album, release a cassette with several songs and eventually get to the Soyuz studio, from where the singers come out already promoted. The song "I love you, Dima" instantly scattered and became a hit, we recorded a video, went on tour with a shaft. At first it was even a thrill: full of work - you can escape from sad thoughts. I remember how I had to perform at the Metelitsa club the day after Andrei's funeral. Obukhov said: "You have to go out!" I thought I could not sing, but nothing, I managed it, I even smiled ...

- The peak of your popularity fell on the most gangster times?

We parted with our first producer, Sergei Obukhov, for the reason that after Andrei's death, he suddenly began to offer some unthinkable places for performances - like baths, where it was necessary to entertain some sponsors. My mom rebelled and we canceled the contract. Obukhov took everything: both the ballet and the costumes. And I went over to Tolmatsky. There were no more dubious concerts, but the terms in the contract turned out to be stricter. For example, the contract stated that for five years I have no right to get pregnant. And there were many times more performances - I seriously undermined my health due to endless travels and flights.

- Did the popular artist have a well-to-do life?

The money was not delayed. I wanted to be fooled. Oh, I need a handbag from Louis Vuitton, and also a branded dress and gloves ... Ranged everything. Now you understand that material values ​​are transient. But I still remember that time with pleasure! Once I arrived at the market, went to the place where they were selling cassettes. I put on my hood so that they wouldn't recognize it, and I ask: "What performers do you recommend?" - they say, I'm not a local. The saleswoman says: "Take Larisa Chernikova, she sings well, she is perfectly disassembled." I felt so pleased!

Larisa, men will read our interview and say: we want to get married! They will start to cut off the telephone in the editorial office! You enviable bride: with a house in America, an economy ...

They will not start ... I am not a pessimist, but I am sure that in mature age it is almost impossible to meet a lonely spiritually developed person... Question: why is he alone? If he did not have enough intelligence to recognize the value of the family, it means that he is not so reasonable and wise.

Or maybe, on the contrary, the man suddenly regained his sight and realized that the woman nearby had stopped growing, and decided that he would be better off living alone.

My priority today is not men and love, but a child. I am ready to educate him on my own. Moreover, my wonderful mom and son support me.

I do not deny love. It's great when life was good and the couple lived it together. But not everyone gets such happiness. It is not easy for a woman in her forties to find a job in Russia. There are more men in America, they are more active than ours, and they have a simpler attitude to age - both their own and women. But how it will be - so it will be. I don't want to dwell only on my personal life. After all, it’s foolish to sit back and selfishly reflect only on yourself. I want to do something good and useful for people too
