Vyacheslav Butusov about his wife and four children: “I am not an ideal father and husband.” Vyacheslav Butusov became a philosopher Anna, Ksenia and Sofia Butusov
1. Vyacheslav Butusov was born in Siberia.“I had a beautiful childhood. There was a big tree in the yard, the house was huge. I was born in Siberia, in the village of Bugach. At that time, a great Komsomol construction project was going on there - a hydroelectric power station was being built. And the parents, on a Komsomol voucher, came to where they met. It was on the “soil” of this gigantic construction that my childhood passed. When I look at photographs of that time, I feel an atmosphere of some kind of infinity. Dirt and poverty, but everyone’s faces are happy.”
2. I started writing poetry so as not to teach Pushkin.“I’m self-taught, and I really liked taking things apart and learning about them. I tried to compose back in school. I had difficulty remembering the poems that were asked in literature, so I resorted to a trick: I started writing my own. They allowed me not to teach Pushkin, but to read some of my own poems. And in general, during this pampering I began to write lyrics and music. And at the institute, on potatoes, when we got together in the evening and played, I really wanted to perform, for example, the Rolling Stones. But I didn’t know the words. That’s why he mumbled some nonsense all the time. And the people looked at me so stunned, in general. But I felt that this was a deception and I had to find another way out. That's how I started composing my songs. I can say that this is extraordinary happiness, it’s amazing when something is born in you.”
3. Categorical, brutal and rude.“I want to overcome this demonic mask of a supposedly fatal man: stern, scowling, looking down on this world. I would, in general, like to throw all these “accessories” into the trash. And it’s high time, to be honest... What would I like to be? I am a categorical person, brutal, rude, arrogant in a sense, there are a lot of distortions in me. So, I would like to be not even a good-natured, but a generous person. So that energy would emanate from me, which would benefit the people who came to the concert in some way. I need to pay off the advance that I received from the listeners, my conscience is not clear. They paid too much attention to me, and for what, I don’t yet understand. I have to give something in return so that it’s fair.”
4. I drank, but that's in the past.“We came to the city for a week: six days we drank, one day we played. I heard legends that people gave four concerts a day. But we didn't have that. I'm ashamed of myself at that time. Then we lived by the principle: “If you drink in the morning, you are free all day.” We drank everywhere without thinking. Everyone drinks, and therefore it seems that there is nothing wrong with it - it’s fun, funny. And then suddenly you realize that you are in this swamp not up to your waist, but up to your neck. And as soon as you start to choke, you are overcome with horror. Not fear, not fear, not fright. Horror. And then the road is either down or up.”
5. Vyacheslav Butusov considers his wife Angelica a guardian angel.“We met Angelica 20 years ago. We got married, Ksenia was born. From that moment I felt that someone began to look after me. I'm used to hanging out somewhere. I didn’t have a home and rarely visited my parents. And when I ended up in St. Petersburg, thanks to her, I settled there.”
6. A concert is always a burden.“For me, a concert is always torment and overcoming. When I go out to an audience, even a small one, it is very difficult for me to withstand its onslaught. This is an exclusively personal perception, maybe even a disease. I go on stage and realize that I can’t do what I’m supposed to do. And what is expected of me - even more so. It breaks me that everything is shabby, there is no holiday..."
7. Vyacheslav Butusov is the father of four children.“I’m not an ideal dad; I pay little attention to my children. We need more. But I can’t - I’m not at home very often. The eldest Anna received the least affection; she was born when I was 18 years old, and I was in my second year. There was such a romance back then: you passed your exams, you went to harvest potatoes, covered in mud up to your knees. Everyone fell in love, got married, gave birth to children in the wake of pseudo-freedom from their parents, imaginary independence. The middle daughters Ksenia and Sofia were a little more lucky, the youngest Danilka is lucky. In general, the younger I was, the less I bothered with children. And this is wrong."
Wealth gives freedom. But famous and wealthy families are often forced to push themselves into the confines of their circle. Those who suffer the most are children whose eminent parents are very jealous of the choice of their offspring. What can we say about famous fathers?
We decided to find out which men star fathers allowed their daughters to choose. Or perhaps they simply did not interfere with their choice.
Anna Butusova and Alexey Nikishin
The frontman of today's "U-Peter" and the cult "Nautilus Pompilius" has four children. From his first marriage with Marina Dobrovolskaya, Vyacheslav Butusov has a 36-year-old daughter Anna, from his second union with Anzhelika Estoeva - two daughters (25-year-old Ksenia and 16-year-old Sofia) and an 11-year-old son Daniil.
The oldest child of the musician finally decided on his choice of soul mate two years ago. In March 2014, she went to the registry office with photographer Alexei Nikishin.
Anna herself has long found herself in her favorite profession, far from the work of both her mother, an architect, and her father, a musician (also an architect by profession). She is a make-up artist, as well as an employee of a trend bureau - a company that studies fashion trends.
The husband of Butusov’s daughter is a famous photographer in Moscow. Being photographed by Nikishin is considered very prestigious, because among his best works are portraits of the country's main celebrities. By the way, Alexey also captured his wife’s father. This means that Vyacheslav Gennadievich respects his son-in-law.
Serafima Shnurova and Vyacheslav Astanin
This 43-year-old musician is so cool that he performs at economic forums with his wild creativity, where he is gladly invited.
The name of Sergei Shnurov’s wife Matilda is also known to the public, because it was she who made him a very stylish and at the same time original dressed rocker. But few people know about his now adult daughter with a very unusual name.
Let us remember that Shnur has been married three times. From his first two marriages he has two children - a 23-year-old daughter, Seraphim, and a son, Apollo, who is only 15 years old.
Sima (that’s what her relatives call) is already married. She admitted this to friends on social networks, and after the revelations were read by the media, she deleted the page. But she never stops showing off the ring on her finger on her accounts. And now she publishes photos together with her husband.
Her chosen one, Vyacheslav Astanin, is 27 years old, he graduated from Moscow State University for the Humanities. Sholokhov in Moscow, but lives in St. Petersburg, where he works as a bartender.
Serafima independently makes a living through graphic design - she retouches photographs.
Whether the stern-looking father approved of his daughter’s choice is still unknown. The leader of Leningrad publicly prefers to laugh it off.
Vera Kincheva and Ivan Yankovsky
On the KP website we organized countries for Rock and Roll Day. “Alice” with its leader Konstantin Kinchev took third place. The musician has three children: son Evgeny from his first marriage with Anna Golubeva, daughters Maria (child of his second wife) and Vera from his second marriage with Alexandra Panfilova.
It is the youngest child of the legendary rocker who is in the public eye. Vera starred in her father’s videos “Route E-95”, “We are heading towards the forest”, “Motherland”. 7 years ago I entered GITIS for a course with Sergei Zhenovach. It seems that there a girl with a big name met her love from an even more famous family.
For several years now, Vera Kincheva has been dating the son of director and actor Philip Yankovsky and actress Oksana Fandera, Ivan. Vera is 24 years old, Vanya is 25. Judging by social networks, where they post pictures of themselves together at home, their connection is very serious. Perhaps a wedding is just around the corner. And the parents have not yet expressed any protests.
Inga Meladze and Nuri Verghese
The eldest daughter of Valeria Meladze (the singer has two more daughters, 17 and 14 years old, from his first marriage with Irina Malukhina and two sons, 12 and 2 years old, from his second union with ex-soloist of VIA Gra Alina Dzhanabaeva, - ed. .) at 25, she had long ago decided on her choice of future husband.
25-year-old Inga Meladze met Nuri Verghese 10 years ago. And last year he proposed marriage to his beloved. He took the girl to Morocco, settled with her in a very expensive hotel in Marrakesh, where he proposed to become his wife, giving her a gorgeous engagement ring.
It was no coincidence that they went to this country, because Nori is a British subject of Moroccan-Indian origin. The profession of Meladze's daughter's fiance is a journalist. Verghese collaborates with Al Jazeera television.
Inga has lived in London since her youth. She graduated from Oxford two years ago with a degree in experimental psychology. Father and mother often come to see their daughter, and they have known her chosen one for a long time and warmly.
Elizaveta Varum and Mark Angelo
Here there is certainly no doubt that the father approves of his daughter’s choice. After all, it was Leonid Agutin who told all his fans that his youngest daughter (the singer has an older daughter from his first marriage - ed.) is already a bride. Last year, the singer also posted a photo of his future son-in-law on his Instagram.
Elizaveta Varum (mother’s last name is listed on her official social network account) is 17 years old, so the wedding is just ahead. Who is the groom? His name is Mark Angelo, he is an American rock musician. Mark plays and sings in the band Legally Taken. And his future wife (the “engaged” status is on both of their blog pages - ed.) also has her own rock band, in which Lisa performed at concerts in schools. The daughter of Agutin and Varum writes music herself and plays the guitar.
She has been living far from her parents for a long time, in Miami. The only child of Angelica Varum and Leonid Agutin was brought to the USA at the age of 4. The girl first lived with her grandfather Yuri (Anzhelika's father Yuri Varum, who passed away in June 2014 - ed.) and his wife and uncle (Anzhelika's brother Mikhail - ed.).
17 March 2016, 02:58There was a post recently. And now we invite you to admire their beautiful daughters.
Anna, Ksenia and Sofia ButusovLike a fairy-tale king, the leader of the Nautilus has three beautiful daughters. From left to right: eldest Anna (from her first marriage), wife Angelica, middle Ksenia and youngest Sophia.
Anna, 35 years old When she was born in July 1980, the Olympic Games were going on in Moscow, and her 18-year-old father almost named her the Olympics. What kept him from taking such a step is unknown. At the age of 10, Anya survived her parents’ divorce, and at the age of 16 she began to live independently, moving from her native Yekaterinburg to Moscow.
Anya: “At one time, my dad and I were working on his video, and casually I showed him my brand new tattoo on my shin: an ornate flower. He never expected this from his dandelion girl. Still couldn’t believe my eyes: “Is she real?” “Dad really wanted me to have a diploma from Moscow State University. But the second time I passed the competition for the history department of Moscow State University, I soon realized that this was not for me - I was much more interested in the creative profession of a makeup artist. As a result, I took a leave of absence, but never returned to school. When dad found out that I chose a serious education, he was very worried, but gradually came to terms with my choice. Sometimes we even started bumping into each other at work. One day, Alice Cooper came to our set. Dad was so impressed that he began to tell everyone that it was I who worked with him.” 2011, Anya Butusova at work:
Ksenia, 24 years old In 2012, the father of a noble family officially brought out his middle daughter, a graduate of the Faculty of Arts of St. Petersburg State University. At the Debutante Ball, 21-year-old Ksenia shone in an elegant Elie Saab Haute Couture dress.
Then she shared her dreams: to conquer the capital’s theater stage and “create the same wonderful family that her parents had.” Presumably, the second dream came true - in December 2013, Ksenia and her husband gave the rock musician a granddaughter, Divna.
Sofia, 16 years old Mom Anzhelika Estoeva: “Sofya is a gifted person, and all gifted people are formed in a very difficult way. Slava and I felt like we were parent-gurus, but here we felt like outcasts. Sophia dropped the crown from us, and we began to learn how to build these relationships again.”
Sophia in an interview with the St. Petersburg publication Sobaka.ru: “For some reason, many people think that I should follow in my father’s footsteps. As a child, I studied at a music school and practiced the piano quite a bit, but I rebelled and quit. Music is just not my calling. I listen to it, not create it.”
Serafima Shnurova
The daughter of the Leningrad leader from her first marriage turns 23 this year. Newspapers write that she graduated from either the Faculty of Philosophy or Philology of St. Petersburg State University, but judging by the caption on her Instagram, she does not work in her specialty - she is engaged in graphic design. A few years ago, the tabloids made scandalous headlines - they say that Sergei Shnurov’s own daughter abandoned her unbridled father. This happened after the student, who preferred not to advertise her “star” relationship, cut off the journalists’ attempts to contact her, saying: “This is not my father, you are mistaken.” In fact, Seraphim is not at odds with her father, as confirmed by the photos on their Instagram. From Cord's page, 2014:
April 2015, Sima on her page congratulates her dad on his birth: “You teach me to think on a larger scale, for which I am very grateful. You are the most talented one-man band and the coolest Darth Vader imaginable :)"
Some secular reporters find that Seraphim is a copy of her father. Do you see the similarities?
Especially looking at this “doll” portrait:
Alisa Grebenshchikova
BG’s 37-year-old daughter is a famous person in her own right. She is an actress, constantly busy with theater companies, and acts in TV series and films. She likes to associate herself with Lewis Carroll's Alice from Wonderland: her personal website is decorated with famous illustrations from this book, and sometimes she tries on the image of her favorite heroine:
Her Instagram is full of pictures with her children, colleagues, and friends, but there are practically no photos with her father. Although this does not mean at all that they are not close - it’s just that Alisa Grebenshchikova is an absolutely independent creative unit.
But she shares her own funny childhood photos. For example, at 13 years old with an 80s rock idol hairstyle.
Zhanna Kipelova
The 35-year-old daughter of Valery Kipelov, founder of the legendary rock group Aria, inherited his musical gift. She is a conductor, choirmaster and vocal teacher by training; her own voice can be heard in some compositions of the “Dynasty of Initiates” project in the gothic metal style, with which her father also collaborates. Daughter with dad:
Zhanna teaches at the Moscow children's musical theater "Domisolka", a unique educational institution whose young artists are gladly invited to serious musical projects - they are so professional.
Vera Panfilova
And this brown-eyed beauty is the daughter of Konstantin Kinchev. Having taken all the best in appearance from her parents, she followed in the footsteps of her grandfather on her mother’s side - theater and film actor, director Alexei Loktev.
She studied at the Moscow Art Theater School and at the directing department of GITIS and at the age of 24 serves in the theater. Mayakovsky. With Dad:
While still studying, Vera met Oleg Yankovsky’s grandson Ivan, and now they make a beautiful couple, not only on stage, but also in life.

We have already talked about the heirs of Hollywood stars, young grandmothers and relatives who are like two peas in a pod, but we have avoided rock stars.
Let's fill in the gaps - today our article is dedicated to the heirs of our rock legends.
