Volenko Biography

St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. In April, it became known about the participation of the “ladybug” in the new season of the Superstar show, in which forgotten groups of X and X competed. In the photo: Vladimir Vololenko childhood the future musician was born in February in Moscow, in the family of Yevgeny Vololenko-a nuclear physicist, the son of a Soviet diplomat, and his wife Svetlana, teacher of the Institute.

When the boy was three years old, his father, who was distinguished by an unbearable character and suffering from alcohol dependence, left his family. Mom raised her son alone, the father appeared at their house once a year - on Vova’s birthday. Otherwise, Vololenko had an ordinary Soviet childhood, which reflected all the shortcomings and positive aspects of that time.

He often went to kindergarten himself, unaccompanied by adults, and it never occurred to anyone that this could end in something bad. As the musician recalled, it was commonplace for him to climb over the fence of a kindergarten because it was far to go to the gate, go to the group and tell the teacher: “Hello, I came! At costumed holidays in kindergarten, he usually dressed up a wolf.

In his memoirs, an episode was preserved when all boys were presented with plastic tanks, and the girls of dragonflies.

For some reason, the tank was not enough for him, and he was handed the girl’s present. The preschool was indignant: “I am a boy, I am a wolf, and you are a dragonfly! By some miracle, the educators managed to get another tank. Having entered a comprehensive school, Volenko at the same time began to go to musical: a mother insisted, who sought to protect her son from the evil influence of the street.

So the next seven years the boy learned to play the violin, which he hated with all his heart. But the benefits of classes were - the young man developed a musical hearing, and in general the lessons at the prestigious music school named after He liked Glier. It became especially interesting in the fourth grade when students began to gather in orchestras. However, the desire to connect life with music did not come in the walls of the music school, but in the pioneer camp.

There, at the disco, the music was sounding at that time: from the Beatles to Alla Pugacheva with her “Arlekino”. It was then that Vladimir thought about creating his group. The desire was strengthened after he saw on TV a concert of Cliff Richard, the king of the British rock and roll. In the year, Vladimir entered the music school. October Revolution.

He studied at the theoretical department, and his teacher was the famous Irina Zlobinskaya. Studying classical music, he did not forget about more fashionable musical directions. From the age of eighteen he collected records with records of rock music and jazz. After graduating from the school, he had to take a break in education: from the software he served in the army, playing the synthesizer in the military orchestra of railway troops.

Returning to a citizen, he became a student of the theoretical department of the Gnesin Academy and with a diploma of the theoretical musicologist graduated from the university in the year. He toured along with famous artists of those years - Svetlana Lazareva, Katya Surzhikova. All this time he composed songs and did not leave a dream of creating his own ensemble, since the environment rich in like -minded people allowed the musicians to recruit.

In the year, the Group "God's Laying" appeared. The name of the team was invented by Vladimir himself. At first, in the wake of the “perestroika fucker”, the group headed for the satirical direction a la Group “Dun”, but the banter that sounded in the songs of the collective did not appreciate the audience. The group self -released, Vololenko got a clash of the keyboardist in one of the compositions of the Mirage group, also, together with the mastered friend Stepan Razin, his brother Svetlana Razina from the Mirage, performed along with the Carolina group.

The second life of the "ladybug" received in the nineties. In Vololenko, he applied to the program “Star rain”, where it was possible to withdraw free, and often after the broadcast guests of the program were recognized by the whole country. Volenko with his team performed the Granite pebble, a song that still remains the main hit of the “ladybug”. God's cow - the granite pebble itself has been known since the seventies, was performed in a variety of versions of the text and motives.

Having studied its options, Vladimir, like a real musical theorist, realized that not one of them suits him completely, left the semantic message about the “stone heart” and created his own text. During the performance of the “pebble”, the singer wore a red jacket in black peas. This became a memorable detail of his image, which also played a role in the popularity of the group.

The hit, performed by Vladimir, sounded from each iron, although the musician was repeatedly accused of plagiarism, finding a resemblance to the composition of British Chris Road to Hell in a “pebble”. A quarter of a century later, Vollenko created a new version of the song, removing an arrangement from it, which gave similarity to a foreign composition. Having recorded a few more albums in the second half of X, in zero because of personal reasons, Vololenko moved away from show business.The musician was carried away by religion, began to go to meetings of the evangelists and, as they say, was chravaling, which he later spoke in e, led a very rampant lifestyle.

He drank, smoked, consumed forbidden substances and decomposed in every way. But in a year he met a man from the Gospel Church, who told me about Jesus Christ, and since then everything has changed radically. I became a believer and began to lead a healthy lifestyle. At that moment, my new family in tandem with Natasha Chocolatekina originated. So the years for the "ladybug" went under the auspices of Christian music.

During this period, Wolenko released the “religious” albums “Born from above” and “Book of Life” by the wife Vololenko became frequent guests at Christian festivals, Christmas and Easter concerts. In the year, Vladimir was carried away by Chanceon and, under the pseudonym Vovan Second, released the album "Orange". Interest in the thieves genre arose thanks to a friend Vololenko Mikhail Senkevich, a member of the Presidential Council under the President of the Russian Federation for the Rights of the Child and the Chairman of the Board in the ANO on the social adaptation of citizens of the “support of the nation”.

Senkevich helped the former prisoners adapt to a new life, and Volenko, in turn, helped his friend: he came with concerts to Butyrka prison and investigative insulators. The continuation of this area of ​​activity was the satirical show "Sarafan Radio". The project was a series of MP3 collectors, including musical compositions of various performers, interspersed with jokes, toasts and aphorisms.

All this was divided into thematic blocks, smoothly flowing from one to another. Another area of ​​Vololenko’s work was his work as a correspondent for the musical information and entertainment newspaper Muzon. On its pages, he published analytical materials about concerts of Western pop and rock stars held in Russia. Inna was a costume singer. Young people became close and realized that there were feelings between them.

At that moment, Volenko met with the pop singer Svetlana Lazareva, but after another quarrel he left her to Inna. Which, by the way, was married, but the musician managed to “beat off” the girl. It was Anzorova who became the first soloist of the “ladybug”. In the year they had a son Danil, after which Inna and Vladimir decided to get married. But the family did not work out. Vololenko fell dependent on alcohol and drugs, began to behave aggressively.

In the hours of sobriety, he understood in disgust that he reminded himself of his own father. Against the background of what was happening in the family, quarrels began. Kabardinka by nationality. And I'm very soft. When a woman dominates the family, then this does not end in anything good. She is such - flint, she always said that she is self -sufficient. The sound balance was broken.

We drank, walked together. I became aggressive, rude. We drank a lot with her then. In the morning I woke up with the question: “What happened yesterday? Volenko found salvation in God. But when he rejected a rampant lifestyle, began to be interested in religion, his wife did not appreciate this, decided that the sectarians "washed him with the brain." The natural outcome of the contradictions was divorce.

In the year, Inna left the "ladybug". She was replaced by summer Natalya Poleshchuk, who spoke under the name Natalya Chocolate. Soon she became the second wife of the musician - they were brought close to a common interest in religion. Natalia raised her son Valentine from previous relationships, two years younger than Danil. Then the daughter Daria and son Vladimir were born to the family, the couples of the couple were also engaged in music: Daria mastered the piano, and Vova learned to play the button accordion.

The family life of the spouses was not cloudless. So, Volenko in the year underwent a complex operation not a heart - a blood clot was removed. And his wife was discovered in the year. Doctors gave Natalia 4 months of life, but she turned out to be a real fighter. Vladimir Vololenko is now Vladimir Vololenko and the “ladybug” continue creative activities. The team often becomes a member of "nostalgic" concerts.

And in April, it became known about the participation of the Vololenko group in the VIA Superstar television show, a project that helps to return to the media space, whose peak of popularity was a long time ago.
