The 90s is a whole era. People had to go through difficult times. Crisis, new reforms, bandits, shortages, but for some reason this time causes nostalgia and warm memories for many.
It’s just that the 90s saw the youth and childhood of several generations, and a person always remembers these periods of life as the brightest.
Several decades will pass, and the 90s will be forgotten. People will only know what happened during this period from history books.
But for now, the 90s and nostalgia go hand in hand. This article will focus on Russian stars who became popular during this difficult time. The whole country knew them, and then many of them simply disappeared.
Fans were at a loss: their favorite celebrities disappeared from view, nothing was known about their lives. It turns out that the fate of some idols of those times prepared great trials.
Below are 10 Russian stars of the 90s, whose life was very sad.
10 Vadim Kazachenko
Vadim was a very popular singer, his hits were then known by heart, but at the peak of his popularity, the singer disappeared. At least that’s what the fans thought.
They said a lot, one of the reasons for his disappearance from the stage was called the scandal with the producer. Vadim denied all the rumors. He admitted that he decided to take a break. The singer worked very hard and was very tired.
True, after a while he tried to return to the stage. There was no triumphant return. There were several more attempts.
The media wrote about an unpleasant situation with a well-known producer, to whom Kazachenko’s mistress paid an impressive amount to return Vadim’s popularity. Nothing succeeded.
Although in 2017, Kazachenko was still remembered. His personal life was then discussed by the whole country. It turned out that Vadim was simultaneously married to two women.
9. Bogdan Titomir
The singer won the hearts of many thousands of Russian girls. His career was fast-paced, he became one of the first hip-hop artists. Bogdan earned millions, but the money did not bring him happiness.
He started having problems with drugs. The singer left for America, explaining his departure by “training”. He wanted to be in the club business.
Law enforcement officers had their own point of view on this situation. They said that Titomir had fled from gang warfare.
In the 2000s, the singer returned to Russia, but he could only dream of his former popularity. He performed in clubs for some time, but few people were interested in his work.
It seems that the singer is not worried about this, now Bogdan is a well-known art person, and this is quite enough for him.
8. Азиза
This girl made a big splash in the post-Soviet era. She appeared on stage in revealing and bright outfits, behaved liberatedly and shocked the audience.
Soon the young singer became very popular, but in 1991 a tragedy occurred that turned the life of a star upside down. Igor Talkov was killed, and Aziza’s friend was nearby during the brawl. He was accused of murder.
At that time, the singer was pregnant. She lost a child, and then experienced bullying and accusations. Performances were out of the question.
A few years later, the singer recovered from grief and tried to return to the stage. Aziza has released several albums, now she is also engaged in music, but her former popularity cannot be returned.
The personal life of the singer did not work out. She did not suffer from a lack of male attention, but she did not manage to know the happiness of motherhood.
7. Yuriy Shatunov
Yuri was the idol of millions of girls. At first he performed as part of the Tender May group, but then he decided to pursue a solo career.
Shatunov succeeded, but instead of taking advantage of his success and becoming even more popular, he decided to leave for Germany.
Yuri lived there for some time, was educated as a sound engineer, and simultaneously recorded songs.
Now the singer still gives himself to music, but he is rarely seen on TV or heard on the radio, except for something from the “old”.
6. Vlad Stashevsky
Everyone knew the songs of Vlad Stashevsky. Crowds of fans ran after the young handsome man. The singer released five albums, which received great success, but apparently he had his own vision of creativity.
He no longer cooperated with his producer and decided to independently release the sixth album. He turned out to be a failure. The new lyrical songs of Vlad did not inspire the fans, they soon began to forget about him.
Now Vlad is engaged in business, he is doing well. He says he never stopped making music and still performs.
But there is no information about Vlad’s concerts. Most likely, the singer is referring to performances at private parties and corporate parties.
5. Evgeny Osin
Eugene from childhood dreamed of devoting his life to music. He was lucky to get into the Bravo group. He worked for a year as a vocalist, then began to pursue a solo career.
The song “The girl in the machine is crying” brought him great success. Evgeny Osin released several albums, traveled around Russia on tour. He had very lot fans.
In the early 2000s, interest in the work of Evgeny Osin began to fade. His performance style was outdated, the songs were no longer relevant. This period was very difficult for Eugene, he became addicted to alcohol, and then leaned into the faith.
In recent years, Osin was sick a lot, and in the fall of 2018 he died of cardiac arrest. He was 54 years old at that time.
4. Marina Khlebnikova
Marina became famous thanks to the hit “A Cup of Coffee”. He brought her popular love and many awards.
This singer gave the impression of a frivolous coquette, but in fact her life was very difficult. Numerous problems in her personal life and poor health led to the fact that Khlebnikova could no longer perform.
She was diagnosed with a serious dental disease, doctors even forbade her to sing. However, no one remembered Khlebnikova, at that time she was already unpopular.
Now the star occasionally performs at concerts of friends, doing voice acting.
3. Dana Borisova
The most popular TV presenter of the 90s, the sexiest woman was also unhappy in her personal life. A huge number of novels, but Dana never found out what real family happiness is.
For some time she met with Danko, who chose to return to his ex-girlfriend. His place was taken by a businessman with whom Dana lived for several years. They even had a daughter.
After parting, the star began to experience depression. The new boyfriend of the TV presenter became her husband, but family life did not work out. Even more difficult times came, the presenter had a big break in her career, she became addicted to alcohol.
Later it turned out that Borisova had a drug addiction, she was sent for treatment to Thailand. The ex-husband took his daughter for a while.
Now Dana helps people cope with their addiction, and is also trying to return to television.

After some time, Shura was diagnosed with a terrible diagnosis – testicular cancer. The singer immediately changed his lifestyle.
He had to undergo surgery, 18 courses of chemotherapy, and a long rehabilitation period.
It is clear that all this time Shura was not up to the songs. Now he is trying to return to the stage, but so far there is no need to talk about success.
