Today they earn millions and live in dazzling luxury. Their requests and fantasies sometimes baffle architects and builders. Their estates evoke the envy and admiration of some, the anger and ridicule of others. But there is one iron argument against any opinion: they can afford it - especially since many had to go a long and hard way “from the very bottom”.

Dima Bilan

People's Artist of Kabardino-Balkaria and so far the only Russian winner of Eurovision spent his childhood in the town of Maisky, 50 km from Nalchik, on the outskirts with the "talking" name Prishib.


Local stop...

...and its surroundings

They built the house with their own hands, Dima (then still Vitya Belan) personally helped his parents. He recalls: “I loved listening to Vysotsky then. In the yard I sometimes took an accordion, sat somewhere on a bench and played.

Vita is 19 years old

Now Bilan has a “brutal” mansion in the village of Rasskazovka, which has been part of Moscow since 2012. “When I felt that it was necessary to grow up, I began to look for a house, not an apartment. In the city it is almost impossible to be alone with yourself, to live your own, separate life.



A special decoration of the site is a two-story barbecue area, a kind of super-luxury version of the gazebo.

Viktor Rybin and Natalya Senchukova

The future leader of "Dune" grew up in the communal apartments of Dolgoprudny. In one of them, his mother and aunt kept two goats right in the room. Then there was two-room Khrushchev, where Victor lived for 25 years, some of them with his current wife, singer Natalya Senchukova.


"Khrushchobs" Dolgoprudny, 1980s

Victor: “My childhood was poor. But there was always a desire to achieve something in life. When I was in school, I did not think about earning money. I just wanted to get an education and succeed.” Natalia: “For many years we lived in poverty, there was no money, no housing, no food. We only had concert halls, we didn’t need anything, just be together - on the bus, on the train, on the plane. There is nothing to eat, nowhere to live, nothing to sleep on ... "Today they have a "suffered" three-story mansion on Klyazma in a cottage village, fenced off from Dolgoprudny iron gate with the inscription "Rybinsky proezd".

This place - the former village of Kotovo - looked completely different in the 70s.

According to the singer, their entire former apartment could fit in one current kitchen, and reporters are especially enthusiastic about the “unprecedented toilet room” with a jacuzzi and two exits - one leading to a huge closet with concert costumes.

And they also have a “house afloat” - a real motor ship “M.V. Lomonosov”, which they jokingly call “the Moscow dacha”.


Victor: “It's like a house, only there are more “hemorrhoids”. Imagine: a four-entrance Khrushchev building with 80 apartments and 80 meters long floats. Someone acquires several country houses and chairs for 15 thousand euros, and we invest here.”


You have to invest seriously: “The maintenance of water transport is several times more expensive than hotels, and a little cheaper than an airplane. Fuel is consumed in tons! And also the cost of the crew, security, parking. It's not like going to Turkey. You have to spend money here."

Lada Dance

A native of Kaliningrad, Lada Volkova likes to remember that she was “born and raised in an old German mansion”, where she “found old paintings in the basement” and “dug up pre-war jewelry, bronze and silverware in the garden.” Since then, she has had a "frantic craving for antiques" and palace interiors.

However, a completely banal Soviet reality is hidden behind children's romance. Lada does not give the address, but she has repeatedly noted that she lived next door to Lyudmila Putina (then still Shkrebneva), which means that we are talking about Lermontov street. In German Koenigsberg, it belonged to the suburb of Maraunenhof, built up with modest private villas by the standards of that time. At the time of the birth of the Soviet girl Lada, these houses were a little over 50 years old.

Maraunenhof in 1913

AT Soviet time the street where the future wife of the President of the Russian Federation and the future pop star lived was considered provincial, it was a working quarter. Private mansions were adapted for communal apartments for several families. The Shkrebnevs, for example, huddled side by side as neighbors on the ground floor of a three-story building.

Now Lada Dance finally has its own three-story villa in the super-elite area of ​​Barvikha, which looks like a "fortress behind high fence". The singer herself calls it a "mini-palace". In one interview, she said that she arranged a mini-amber room based on sketches of real amber, of course, from her native Kaliningrad amber. And that the Italians, who restored the halls of the Kremlin, made the stucco molding for her.

Lada: “Since childhood, I grew up in a city by the sea, in nature, and in Moscow, naturally, this was not enough for me. Therefore, I decided to settle on Rublyovka. What's so amazing about that? Is the one who has the opportunity to live where it is good, will remain in a residential area? In addition, earlier there were almost never traffic jams on Rublyovka, I got to Moscow without any problems. It's hard to believe now."

Maksim Galkin

Although Maxim is not at all from the “simple” ones (his father was a major military leader with the rank of colonel general, he directly communicated with the top leadership of the USSR and Russia), he was far from the current “general’s sons” and other representatives of the “golden youth”. The nomadic military family lived for some time in the closed military town of Sosnovy Bor near the capital of Buryatia, Ulan-Ude, where the future artist spent his childhood.

11-year-old Maxim in the school play

Now it is just an ordinary village, but the typical five-story buildings where military families lived, and today they remind of its garrison past.

As you know, Galkin and his wife Alla Pugacheva now live in a real castle, which glorified the small village of Gryaz near Moscow to the whole world. Six floors, more than 20 residential premises, elevators, a tower with an observation deck, greenhouses, a separate SPA center with a swimming pool, which can only be accessed through an underground passage, and many more "jokes", including a system smart home, thanks to which you can get by on vast estates with a minimum of servants.



Maxim: “Building such a house for me is a creative act. I'm just bored building an ordinary house. Doing something just because it's expensive or trendy. And I don't care who thinks what. Many people think that I am outrageous because I stand out from the crowd. But I'm not doing this because I want to prove "I'm not like everyone else."

Palace of Medvedev

In February 2011, an article was published in Novaya Gazeta suggesting that a private dacha for ex-president and current prime minister Dmitry Medvedev was being built on the territory of the Bolshoy Utrish nature reserve (Krasnodar Territory). The mansion in Bolshoi Utrish was to be equipped with a marina and a helipad. Two wide roads leading to it were specially planned (according to the publication, these are the security requirements of the Federal Security Service). With its architecture, the Medvedev's dacha project is similar to the so-called Putin's palace in Gelendzhik.

The land on which the palace is located has been leased since July 2008 by the Department of Forestry Krasnodar Territory to the fund of regional non-commercial projects A gift for the construction of a sports and recreation complex there. For a territory of 120 hectares, the fund will transfer 15 million rubles every year for 49 years.

According to Rosreestr, some of these lands really belong to the governor. However, according to environmentalists, the fenced area (about 7 hectares) significantly exceeds the area of ​​land owned by Tkachev (1 hectare).
It was from the fence around the object that the scandal began to flare up. In February-March 2011, activists of the Environmental Watch for North Caucasus carried out actions against the seizure of lands of the forest fund and the coastal strip, were detained by law enforcement officers and sentenced to various terms administrative arrest (from 7 to 15 days). In response to a request from environmentalists sent to the Department of Forestry of the Krasnodar Territory, the answer came: there is no fence around this area.

Dacha of the Patriarch

In February 2011, on the Black Sea coast north of the village of Divnomorskoye (Krasnodar Territory), the same activists discovered what they said was illegal construction. At least 10 hectares of forest, where Pitsunda pine grows, protected by law, is fenced with a three-meter fence. On the territory, according to ecologists, there is “a strange, pretentious building – not a mansion, not a temple – this quadrangular building is crowned with domes with a cross. Absolutely some unimaginable hybrid of a palace and a temple.”

The territory of the spiritual center was supposed to house a meeting room of the Holy Synod, rooms for the members of the Synod, administrative and managerial services of the Moscow Patriarchate, offices, conference rooms, press center rooms, and so on.

Later, Patriarch Kirill consecrated a temple on the territory of the spiritual center and held a meeting of the Holy Synod there.

Putin's Palace

On the Black Sea coast, near the village of Praskoveevka in the Gelendzhik region, there is a “recreation complex” that is rumored to belong to Putin.

In the spring of 2011, Shamalov's company Indokopas, together with the residence, was sold to a Cypriot company, the beneficiary of which is businessman Alexander Ponomarenko. Bloggers also suggest that the palace is the private residence of Vladimir Putin. In particular, according to their statement, on August 6-7, 2011, three large yachts were seen near the residence (one of them looked like the Olympia yacht, which, according to bloggers, Putin uses) and two patrol ships. And a few days before that, law enforcement agencies cleared the nearest coast of tents and checked the passports of the citizens resting in them.

Inspired by the creations of Antonio Gaudí, architect and innkeeper (in one person) Hang Nga created her fabulous house, which guests called the “Crazy House”.

She moved to Dalat (Vietnam) after almost 10 years in Russia and began to implement her project. In appearance, the hotel is a huge tree with decorations of caves, cobwebs and giant animals. At the heart of her creations there are no classic techniques with straight walls and lines. The building consists entirely of labyrinths, oblique lines and bends. Vietnamese long time thought that this style is a common practice for Russia.
