built 629 days ago
The queen of the genre, Alla Pugacheva, dubbed Russia's Liza Minnelli, is still going strong after 30 years in the business and has her own shoe and perfume lines. She is so popular that when Russia entered the Eurovision Song Contest in 1997, most people assumed that by choosing her it was a done deal. There was national outrage when she came 15th.

In an interview, which was given by the singer Vyacheslav Maleznik who used to work with Pugacheva in "The Happy Fellows" in 1974, Maleznik called Alla "a black hole" accumulating the energetic resources of those who surround her. In this there is a simple truth - Alla Pugacheva, like a shark, always in motion, and there are a few people who are so adaptive to all things new, and interesting. Alla has a tremendous intuition and one is not likely to meet anyone with more attractive qualities - this is why she became the first, the best, and still possesses these qualities today.
