Masha Rasputina is a sex symbol of the Russian stage. To many, she is known not only as the owner of a powerful voice, but also as the owner of a peppery character.
Rasputina is not shy about showing her body to the public. Despite her age, her wardrobe is dominated by short dresses and skirts.
Envious people say that Masha's middle name is "Miss Silicon".
Rasputina herself does not hide the fact that she does not ignore silicone, fillers and plastic surgery. All this helps to maintain their sexuality.
After all, the years go by, and Masha continues to smell sweet, like a tea rose.
Childhood and youth of Maria Rasputina
Masha Rasputina is the stage name of the Russian singer, behind which the modest name Alla Ageeva is hiding.
Little Alla was born in 1965 in the town of Belov. Later, the girl moved to the village of Urop, where she lived until she was 5 years old.
Alla Ageeva was a Siberian. She still fondly remembers the time she spent in Siberia. Rasputina says that the place in which she grew up "laid" her lively character.
The upbringing of little Alla was done by grandparents.
The parents practically did not have time for their daughter, so they shifted these responsibilities onto the shoulders of the older generation.
At the age of 5, Alla again moves with her parents to Belovo. The girl had a very penetrating character. When she went to first grade, she immediately got girlfriends and became the leader of the class.
Little Ageeva was the favorite of the teachers. She beautifully declared poetry and sang songs.
Being small, Alla did not even think that she wanted to devote her life to music.
She immediately entered 2 technical schools, but soon realized that the exact sciences were not for her, and it was time to really find something that would bring pleasure.
Alla announced to her parents that she was dropping out of school and leaving to conquer Moscow. She did not shock mom and dad with this statement, because they knew very well that their daughter got an ambitious character.
Arriving in Moscow, Ageeva Jr. submits documents to the Shchukin Theater Institute. The young entrant was noticed.
However, this time Alla could not enter an educational institution. The teachers considered her performance raw.
Alla had nothing to live on, so the dream of entering the institute had to be postponed for some time. Meanwhile, the girl began working at a knitwear factory.
In her free time, Alla attended all kinds of auditions where vocalists were needed. At one of these castings, Ageeva was not heard to the end, saying: "You are accepted."
Alla was accepted into one of the local ensembles. The girl toured the territory of the Soviet Union. But besides that, she didn't give up her dream of getting a higher education.
Soon she became a student at the Kemerovo State University of Culture and Arts.
At this introductory audition, there was a vocal teacher from the Tver Musical College.
When he heard a powerful voice, extraordinary in timbre, he offered Alla a place in his school. She agreed, and in 1988 she received a "crust".
The beginning of the musical career of Masha Rasputina
The arrival in the very heart of the Russian Federation - Moscow, was a real turning point for the Siberian girl. Her talent and vocal abilities were accepted.
Since 1982, Alla was listed as a soloist of the local ensemble, which from time to time performed on the territory of Sochi.
In the capital, she happened to meet her future husband and producer Vladimir Ermakov. It was Vladimir who helped the little-known singer to unwind and get on her feet. He gave Ageeva good advice and set her on the right path.
Vladimir Ermakov already had experience in show business. So the first thing he did was suggest changing his name.
Alla Ageeva became Masha Rasputina.
For most who heard her stage name for the first time, there were associations with eroticism, openness and sexuality.
In addition, the stage name indicated the Siberian roots of the singer. Masha Rasputina gave her first performances in a restaurant.
Firstly, public speaking allowed her to learn how to behave in public, and secondly, restaurant performances brought her good fees.
1988 became a significant year for Masha Rasputina. The Russian singer recorded the first song “Play, musician!” to the words and music of the young composer Igor Mateta, whom she met thanks to her husband.
The musical composition was very well received by music critics and Soviet music lovers.
The musical composition became a real super hit. The song was first heard in the TV program "Morning Mail" and instantly won the hearts of thousands of people who favorably reacted to the vociferous resident of Siberia.
This was the very success that the producer and Masha Rasputina were betting on.
Masha's popularity, like a virus, spread throughout the USSR.
Famous composers and poets offered the singer their works. In particular, the work of the singer and poet Leonid Derbenev turned out to be fruitful, whose lyrics fit perfectly into the style of Masha's performance.
A little more time will pass, and this union will bring many worthy hits to music lovers.
In 1990, Rasputina began preparing her debut album for her fans. The texts for her songs were written by the same Derbenev.
In order not to lose her vocal form, Masha visits various music festivals during this period of time, thereby strengthening her popularity.
Exactly one year later, Masha Rasputina will present her fans with the album "City Crazy". Masha appeared before the audience as an ordinary provincial girl who came from Siberia to conquer Moscow.
In her songs, she did not hesitate to present the themes of injustice, deceitful politicians and corrupt officials. The top songs of the disc turned out to be the tracks: “Let me go to the Himalayas” and “Music is spinning”, which brought success to the entire album.
The debut album of the singer became a real breakthrough on the Russian stage. Masha and her producer planned to conquer foreign music lovers.
Producer Rasputina reverently approached this issue. He used quality arrangements that matched the music of the time.
The disc was called “I Was Born in Siberia”, however, Rasputina still performed songs in Russian.
The album “I Was Born in Siberia” was cool enough to accept foreign music lovers. In addition, they were not delighted with the image of Rasputina.
What can not be said about the Russian fans of Masha's work. The musical composition "I was born in Siberia" receives many praises and becomes a real super hit.
In addition to the song "I was born in Siberia", music lovers appreciated the track "Don't wake me up." In this work, erotic overtones were frankly felt.
With the first song, Rasputina performed in the final of the Song of the Year festival, getting into which meant unconditional recognition from both the audience and colleagues.
After the first two albums, the singer literally fell in popularity.
Rasputina, who is not accustomed to stop there, releases two more albums, and goes on a big tour.
She spent a lot of time on tour. In addition, she gave concerts while pregnant.
Masha Rasputina became a mother, so for some time she was forced to give up concerts and recording new musical compositions.
The last album before a break of three years was the record "Live, Russia!". This disc contains lyrical compositions by Masha Rasputina.
Masha Rasputina plunged headlong into motherhood. Philip Kirkorov helped the Russian singer emerge back. Together, the performers recorded the song "Tea Rose".
This track hit the music lovers right in the heart. The song immediately secured its position as a leader, taking the top line of the local hit parade.
Later, Rasputina and Kirkorov presented a video for the presented song. In this video, Masha's daughter, Maria Zakharova managed to shoot.
In fact, Kirkorov returned Rasputin to the top of the Russian Olympus.
After such a brilliant triumph, nothing foreshadowed trouble. But, there was some kind of quarrel between Rasputin and Kirkorov. Many say that the singers did not share the song "Tea Rose".
There is also information that Philip did not invite Masha to a concert in the USA, but performed the song himself.
But, one way or another, the performers did not talk for 10 years. They reconciled only when Rasputin supported Philip in a scandal with a Rostov journalist. Masha continued to work on her discography.
In 2008, she presented the disc “Masha Rasputina. The Best”, where she collected the best works of her entire musical career.
Masha Rasputina now
In recent years, not a musical career, but Rasputina's personal life has been in the spotlight.
Lydia Ermakova, the daughter of her first husband, was diagnosed with a mental illness, which worsened against the backdrop of Yermakov's bullying.
Masha Rasputina says that Lydia still uses strong pills, because she has severe hallucinations and nervous breakdowns.
It took more than one year for relations between Masha and her daughter to improve.
As for the work of Masha Rasputina, she has not pleased fans with fresh hits for a long time.
The singer is a frequent guest of various music festivals, television programs and shows.
