The Yin-Yang soloists explained why they gave their daughter a Jewish name. Tatyana Bogacheva: lead singer of the group "Yin-Yang" Voblaya Tatyana Bogacheva in contact

More recently, young people shared with OK! another good news: their daughter Mirra was born. And today the baby, who has just turned one month old, is taking part in a photo shoot.

Artyom and Tatyana met in 2007 at Star Factory 7. Artyom immediately attracted Tanya's attention with his resemblance to David Beckham. “The fact is that as a child I adored this football player. When I saw Artyom, I noticed the resemblance,” Tanya recalls. - Then he won me over with his courtesy - he turned out to be a very well-mannered young man. I remember I was dragging myself to the hotel with a huge suitcase, and then I met Artyom. He gallantly helped me carry my suitcase into the room. For me this was something out of the ordinary. But I had a boyfriend then and I drove away thoughts of new relationships.”

After some time, everything changed and Tanya and Artyom realized that they loved each other. However, they preferred not to advertise their relationship, and were in no hurry to confirm other people’s guesses. It is not surprising that Tanya’s pregnancy was hidden until the last moment. “The fact is that for some reason I had a lot of prejudices regarding Tanya’s pregnancy,” says Artyom. - I was very worried, so a very limited circle of people knew that we were having a child - only our parents and my close friend. The rest found out after the fact when they saw Tanya already with a belly. ( Smiles.) By the way, one of my very close friends, who lives in another country, sent me a screenshot of a page of some magazine, where Tanya already has a big belly, and wrote: “When was I supposed to know?” Thank God, I have friends who understand, they know that I’m a big deal.” ( Laughs.)

That's for sure. To hide the pregnancy until the last moment and at the same time show a child who is barely a month old - few parents are ready to take such a step.

Artyom: The fact is that this is more according to Tanya’s part. After Mirra was born, she had some kind of superstitions, but I, on the contrary, only had them during pregnancy.

Tanya: To be honest, I was afraid of all this and was against it: my daughter is too small. But Artyom convinced me. ( Smiles.)

A.: I am a supporter of the fact that joy should be shared. Moreover, such beauty must be brought to the masses. ( Laughs.)

I wonder, did you buy things for the baby in advance or are you superstitious in this regard too?

T.: I wanted to start buying everything as soon as possible. But Artyom suggested that we should be puzzled by this after giving birth. I tried to explain how much would be needed. ( Addressing Artyom.) In the end, I don’t think you regretted that we bought everything in advance?

A.: Yes, at the end of the pregnancy I finally gave up and we started buying some things - furniture, strollers... But it was a scandal. Tanya, getting into a girls' clothing store, began to buy everything.

Did you know you were having a girl?

T.: Yes, but I didn’t care who we had - a boy or a girl.

A.: I also didn’t have such a thing that I really wanted a boy. At the twelfth week we were already told the gender of the baby, so we got used to the idea early that we were having a daughter.

Which one of you came up with this? unusual name?

T.: Artyom came up with this for us. To be honest, I would have chosen more... Although I also like this name, but he stuck it out, and that’s it!

A.: Yes, I reclaimed the right to choose a name for my daughter unconditionally. It was very important for me that her name would not be associated with anyone. I opened the list of Jewish names and chose the one I liked best. On the day we found out that there would be a girl, I came and said: “The daughter will be called Mirra.” Tanya was hostile to this at first.

Artyom, why a Jewish name?

A.: She has Jewish roots. Everything is confusing there, but they are there. For some reason, it always seemed to me that my daughter should have a Jewish name.

Was this a planned pregnancy?

T.: This was not a surprise for us, because we got married and, understandably, were thinking about a child. True, we didn’t think it would happen so quickly. ( Smiles.)

A.: We didn’t “maniacally”, didn’t count the days, we worked on this process naturally.

Does Myrrh keep you up at night?

T.: We have already encountered sleepless nights, but Artyom helps me a lot. He's a wonderful father. He says: “Sleep, I’ll stay with the baby myself today.”

A.: For now we are afraid to hire a nanny. I can’t imagine how such a small child can be entrusted to a stranger. My grandmother and my mother came for a couple of weeks, but we can cope on our own.

Looking at peacefully sleeping Mirra, you can’t say that you have sleepless nights with her.

A.: You should rather look at us, during the day the child sleeps for his dear soul, but at night... ( Smiles.)

Is he awake at night?

A.: Like all small children, sometimes their stomach hurts, sometimes they are capricious.

T.: Yes, at night she becomes very active.

Artyom, after giving birth, a woman immediately realizes that she has become a mother, and the father needs to get used to this idea. Has your paternal instinct already awakened?

A.: I don’t have it completely yet.

That is, you still have the feeling that you are holding someone else’s girl in your arms?

A.: Not like someone else’s... When her consciousness begins to turn on and a response appears, then, probably, everything will change. At this age, children either sleep, or scream, or want to eat. It seems to me that when she tells me something, then yes, this instinct will probably wake up immediately.

Tanya, weren’t you scared to hold the baby in your arms for the first time?

T: It was very scary. I didn’t know how to approach her, I was in real panic. I was actually very afraid to give birth. My mother reassured me: “Everyone has given birth, and you will give birth, why are you tormenting yourself?” It seems to me that with this fear I delayed the moment of birth, and Mirra was born later than the appointed time.

When did you stop performing?

A.: Tanya toured until her eighth month, we made special costumes for her, and, to tell the truth, not everyone even saw that she was pregnant.

Artyom, did you insist that your wife go on maternity leave?

A.: If I wanted such a wife, I would not marry a singer. ( Smiles.) In addition, she had special conditions: a separate car, business class flights, a separate suite in the hotel. The only thing is, when we flew to the concert in Tolyatti, I already understood that I would stop performing. But this performance was approved in advance, and it was impossible to refuse it. But thank God, everything went well.

Tanya, didn’t you really want to take a break from work and enjoy your condition?

T.: I would like to. It was hard to work with a belly on stage. It's physically difficult. I was literally out of breath. And how worried I was! I thought I might suddenly give birth. ( Laughs.) At some point I realized that it was not so much difficult for me to fly as it was to stand on stage. At that concert in Togliatti, they even brought me a chair onto the stage.

Didn't Mirra start pushing even harder when you went on stage?

T.: On the contrary, it calmed down. But it seems to me that if I went on full maternity leave, I would probably go crazy. ( Laughs.)

Artyom, wasn’t Tanya naughty during pregnancy?

A.: Tanya is generally quite a capricious person. She's a singer. ( Smiles.)

So you are already used to the whims?

A.: It wasn’t a shock for me. Tanya only had some kind of taste perversions. She sniffed the soap all the time and was ready to eat it.

T.: Laundry soap. I thought it smelled so delicious.

Did you ask for strawberries in the middle of the night?

A.: Just mint chewing gum. I bought it in batches, but when Mirra was born, everything went away.

Artyom, were you present at the birth?

A.: I was present at the contractions. Tanya was put in the ward, and I left at about six in the evening. Then she called me and said that it was all starting. I arrived, sat with her and went out into the lobby so as not to see the process. So I supported Tanya from a distance.

Tanya, didn’t you want your husband to be nearby and, for example, cut the umbilical cord?

T.: No, I told him myself: “Please come out.” ( Smiles.) In general, this is a process during which you want no one to be around.

Artyom, did you help Tanya bathe her daughter for the first time?

T.: It seems to me that it is the father who should bathe his daughter. Dad bathed me too. Mirra really enjoys this process. Probably, when she finds herself in warm water, it seems to her that she again finds herself in that environment in her tummy. So we have no problems with swimming.

Have you already thought about how you will raise her?

A.: We don’t yet know what kind of character she will have, so it’s difficult to choose a line of upbringing right now.

T.: We discussed this even before pregnancy and agreed that it would be necessary to send the child to music school. This will come in handy in the future.

A.: I don’t know a single adult who, as a child, went to music school, even under pressure, and would not later thank his parents. I hated music school. What piano? I dreamed of being a football player! But right now I understand that my mother was softer with me than she should have been.

Were you, Tanya, forced to study music?

T.: Yes. I went to the opera studio until I was six years old. I hated solfeggio and as soon as I started first grade, I quit these classes. And only after the eleventh grade I entered the vocal department. That was my big break. I was shy and uptight, I sang quietly at home and didn’t even perform at school events. And now I also tell my mother that I should have been forced to study.

A.: There are children who love to play music, but, as a rule, this is the exception. The main thing is to love the child and try to give him what he needs. You can pamper a girl. This guy probably needs to be stricter.

Tanya, what do you think?

T.: The girl needs to be told how beautiful she is so that complexes do not develop.

Did they tell you that as a child?

T.: My mother generally loves the truth, and my dad protects me all the time. But my mother said I was pretty. ( Smiles.)

Which one of you is more talkative?

Artem: In everyday life - me. Not in everyday life - probably me too.

Tatiana: And I'm an introvert. I like to be silent and be alone.

A.: You can't tell by the way you chat with your girlfriends.

T.: I am talkative with those who are in my circle.

Are your social circles different?

A.: Not really, it’s just that Tanya’s circle is more girlish, and I don’t get involved in their conversations.

The third member of your Yin-Yang group, Sergei Ashikhmin, which of you is more of a friend?

A.: It's hard to say. On the one hand, he is a boy, on the other, Tanya even had an affair with him at the Star Factory...

T.: Very short term. Now Serezha has a girlfriend, we all communicate very well.

How do you explain Sergei’s absence from our photo shoots and interviews?

A.: Seryoga has his own clothing store, ERQUE, and he flew to another country on business.

Maybe he felt like a third wheel?

T.: Don't think. Artyom and I never advertised our personal relationship at work. People guessed that we were dating, but we didn't confirm it. Perhaps now for the first time we admit that we are together.

IN creative team Is it possible to separate work and personal life?

A.: We decided that our relationship should not affect the performances. Whatever happens between us at breakfast or lunch, the viewer has nothing to do with it. Meanwhile, all sorts of things happened: Tanya and I quarreled, and even separated for a long time, but we continued to work. Previously, there was another member in the group with whom I always had a strained relationship.

Do you mean Yulia Parshuta?

A.: Yes. And yet, we went on stage, hugged, and performed. And behind the scenes they dispersed in different directions. Now, thank God, our team is much more organic, we even began to relax together. I'm with Tanya and Seryoga with his girlfriend.

This begs the question: can’t Seryoga’s girlfriend be included in the group?

T.: She is very beautiful, but not a public person at all and works in a different field.

When you first started dating each other, weren’t you afraid that it wouldn’t work out to separate work and personal life, and that your relationship would simply ruin the team?

A.: In general, it is wrong to work together. This has a bad effect on both sides of life. At that time, the management of the group told us that relations within the team were not needed, that it would only get worse. I can’t say that they put some incredible obstacles in our way, and we went against it, but they were unhappy with our romance.

T.: There were even people who thought that I needed some kind of oligarch, and not a young boy. But we didn't listen to anyone. And they didn’t set any conditions for us - they say, either you break up or the group breaks up. We were simply advised.

A.: Then we started working directly with Konstantin Meladze, and he is only interested in the implementation of creative ideas. Of course, when we quarreled and broke up, he called and asked how we were doing.

Would you say you were close friends at first?

A.: Yes, at Star Factory 7. The fact is that I, Tanyusha and Nastya Prikhodko, who then won the TV project, came from Ukraine. The castings took place in Kyiv, and that’s where we all rallied. I remember we bought three cheeseburgers and didn’t share them with anyone. ( They laugh.)

T.: Because, of course, in Russia everyone looked down on us, but we were like three chickens, sticking together. Then we became friends.

Didn't you think that you shouldn't spoil your friendship with personal relationships?

A.: I don’t fully believe in the sincerity of friendship between a man and a woman. If they are not connected by work, but they communicate, it means that each other likes them. More often than not, I have seen friendships happen after relationships. When people become friends and then start dating - here, as a rule, important role The condescension of one of the parties plays a role: either she allows herself to be loved, or he.

What is your case?

A.: Our friendship was short-lived, we immediately realized that we liked each other. We all entered the Factory in relationships. Tanya had a young man, I had a girlfriend. But “Factory” is like a pioneer camp, where everyone is young, cheerful, but forced to live a separate, closed life from the whole world. I started courting Tanya, and soon we began dating.

In such a closed space as the Factory, were there opportunities to hit on someone?

T.: We did not have a candy-bouquet period, and this is unusual. This has never happened to me - I’m used to people always looking after me, calling me, writing SMS, but here there were no conditions for this.

A.: So I immediately came to the girl's bedroom.

T.: Well yes, of course!

A.: But besides you, there were ten more girls there, I came to look around.

T.: It’s true, the boys visited us and gave us massages. Artyom also gave me a very cool CD player, which I didn’t part with during the whole tour.

A.: Yes, although we had rather limited opportunities at the Star Factory. The authors of the project then came up with the idea that we ourselves would earn money for our living through concerts. Therefore, at first we didn’t even have anything to eat.

That is, with the player you made it look great?

A.: Yes. I also generously treated everyone to dumplings and Hawaiian concoctions.

When did you, Tatyana, manage to start an affair with Sergei Ashikhmin?

A.: Tanya and I had a short cooling-off period; at that moment I stopped being interested in anything other than performances and creativity. Tell me, Tanya, how did it work out between you and Seryoga?

T.: Yes, you can’t even call it a romance - we sympathized with each other and just kissed once.

A.: In this sense, “Factory” really was like a camp. As for Tanya, already at the final stages of casting I realized that I liked her. I remember Kostya Meladze gave us songs, I heard Tanya perform “I did everything myself,” and was fascinated. For some reason I immediately thought that I wanted to be with this person. But Tanyusha turned out to be a flighty young lady. With Seryoga, right in the middle of the “Factory”! ( Laughs.)

T.: What are you saying? Where is it in the middle of the “Factory”? Everyone will write this!

You have the opportunity to object, Tatyana.

A.: And she has nothing to object to.

T.: Haven't you had an affair?

A.: It wasn't! My lips remained untouched.

How did Artyom charm you? Of course, except for the player and dumplings with Hawaiian mixtures.

T.: First of all, by his appearance, I immediately liked him. The fact is that as a child I adored David Beckham. When I saw Artyom, I noticed the resemblance to my favorite football player. Then he won me over with his politeness. He turned out to be a very well-mannered young man. I remember I was dragging myself to the hotel with a huge suitcase and then I met Artyom. He gallantly helped me carry my suitcase into the room. For me it was something out of the ordinary. But I had a boyfriend then, and I drove away thoughts of a new relationship. Only after a while everything changed, and Artyom and I realized that we loved each other.

A.: We had a period of first, interesting, but rather difficult touring. I didn’t know how to behave: at first, people who didn’t know me six months ago suddenly reacted violently to my every appearance. And then, when we skated the tour, the same people who exalted us a month ago forgot my name. And we, already as part of the Yin-Yang group, had to start all over again. Earn popularity. Prove to producers that we are a capable team. All this was psychologically difficult. I’m not sure that at that moment a person from the outside could have appeared next to me who would have understood all this. But Tanya was already nearby, to whom I could tell everything, and she understood me.

T.: Tanya, by the way, was in the same situation.

You were born in Ukraine, but in different cities. How similar were your paths?

T.: We were born in the Soviet Union. Our paths are completely different, although we later realized that everything was as in our song: “I walked along the same roads...” I studied in Kyiv, Artyom too, we walked in the same places in the city. I loved the Spice Girls, especially Victoria Adams, who later became Beckham's wife.

A.: I adored Beckham and even played football when I was little.

T.: We were members of the same modeling agency, from which we attended castings.

Did you also have different experiences with music?

A.: I have always been involved in music, but I understood that I needed a more “earthly” profession, so about higher music education there was no question. I graduated from Kyiv Polytechnic, which I didn’t regret for a second. I received a mathematical education and met at the institute wonderful people. I did music for pleasure: I recorded tracks, made arrangements. I sang very sad songs, driving my dorm neighbors crazy, sometimes at night, because apparently I have a lyrical nature. The neighbors came and asked: “At least sing something more cheerful - it’s sad.” As a result, the music said: since you are not looking for me, then I will find you. I accidentally found out about recruitment for the “Factory”. This was my first musical casting. Konstantin Meladze is the first person who believed in me. I was very “raw” and worried, but Kostya managed to tell me such words, after which I realized that music is the love and work of my life.

T.: I realized this back in kindergarten. I sang constantly, so the teacher advised my mother to give me vocal training. That’s how I ended up in the opera studio, where I studied from four to seven years old. After which I had a huge break - I grew up pressed, sang at home, and did not participate in any school skits. At school, no one knew that I sang. But my mother always supported me in this, she also suggested that I take exams at the Kyiv State Academy leading personnel of culture and art for the specialty “pop vocals”. My classmates were shocked when they found out, they said: “Can you sing?” I went to auditions, but often dropped out in the third round. I even auditioned for the sixth season of Victor Drobysh’s Star Factory, but dropped out at the last moment. I was sure that I had to pay money or meet someone to get there. But I went to the seventh “Factory” - for company with my then boyfriend, he is a dancer. And they unexpectedly took me.

I don't believe that your personal relationships aren't reflected in your songwriting and performance.

A.: The process of writing music for me is much less romantic than you might think. It's much more mathematical. I can afford much more not in music, but in poetry. In them I sublimate my problems, complexes, fantasies, dreams. All my poems are dedicated to one girl, who, I am sure, does not exist in the world. It is abstract, even I myself imagine it very roughly.

Tatyana, who is he talking about?

T.: But really, what kind of girl is this? ( They laugh.) But actually I understand what he means. Not all authors devote poems and songs to wives and companions. So he has a lyrical heroine.

I really want to ask: do you have similar character traits? Interests?

T.: We have a similar sense of humor. We love to laugh, including at ourselves - this is a valuable skill. We have the same ideas about decency.

A.: But Tanya and I have quite different interests. However, should they coincide? The main thing is that the interests of the person who is nearby do not irritate you. At the very least, they were touching. We differ in both our character traits and our perception of the world, but at the same time we do not clash heads.

T.: Although before we often quarreled, to the point of hysterics.

Why?

T.: He was rude to me, I was rude to him.

A.: Tanyusha then, due to her youth, refused to recognize that I was exceptionally right in everything. ( Laughing.)

Do you have a common life?

A.: Yes, sure. We live together in Moscow.

T.: The search for shared housing brought us together very much. After “Factory” we were in the same large private house with other graduates of the television project - there Artyom and I began to live together. Then they changed an endless number of apartments. As a rule, Artyom was the initiator of the move; he believed that the living space had become too small for us, and we needed to look for another, larger one. On the contrary, I easily got used to the place, I was sorry to part with it. But I must say that we don’t spend 24 hours a day together. We often go on tour, and there we always stay in different rooms.

And they could save money for the organizers.

T.:(Laughing.) But we take a break from each other. I go to my parents in Sevastopol without Artyom. He was there and knows his parents, but I’m going to visit them alone. Also a break from each other.

How did you meet your parents?

A.: Our parents knew us long before we actually met - they watched all the broadcasts of “Star Factory”. So it was useless to talk about yourself when we met.

There were no viewings?

T.: Yes, without officialdom. I met Artyom’s mother when she came to Moscow for the final “factory” concert at the Olimpiysky Sports Complex. We said hello and liked each other very much. Artyom came to me in Sevastopol, and “unexpectedly”. I flew there - he calls and says:
“And I’m here.” And again, he showed good manners - he didn’t want to impose himself, he said: “I rented a hotel room.” I say: “What are you doing?! Let's go to my place. You will meet your parents." Persuaded.

Artem, is it exciting to meet a girl’s parents? You have to make an impression, remember the names of your parents...

A.: I wasn’t afraid, and besides, Tanya’s parents were well disposed toward me. Her mother's name is Lyudmila Gennadievna - I quickly remembered this. But dad is Alexander Yuvenalievich. That is, there was, of course, an obstacle in the form of an unusual patronymic. But I also rehearsed “Hello, Alexander Yuvenalievich!” said without hesitation.

I wonder if you feel like family?

T.: Certainly.

A.: We are probably already a unit of society. We buy tomatoes at the store together. And when people buy tomatoes together, then, I think, they are a family.
