Star mansions. Star mansions by Alla Pugacheva. Malye Berezhki village
Alexander Tsekalo suffers from gigantomania, and Vladimir Solovyov is surrounded by many enemies
When building a dream house, the owner tries to realize all his ideas in it and make it as comfortable as possible for himself and his family. Our stars are no exception. Sometimes the dachas of celebrities are distinguished by their wildest fantasies. With the help of the famous private realtor Maxim CHEPURA, we compiled a rating of celebrity mansions, calculating approximately how much the artists would earn if they put their buildings up for sale right now. And psychologist Natalya VARSKAYA tried to characterize the personalities of their owners using the facades of houses. For the purity of the experiment, we did not tell our experts who exactly owned which house.
Maksim Galkin
Realtor: I recognize Galkin’s “chambers”, spread out over a hectare of land. True, it is not clear why Maxim needed such a castle, but even if he ever decides to sell it, he will not be able to find a buyer. If only not his devoted billionaire admirer. Such a house will always be associated with the first owner. In the future, such a building can only be repurposed into a hotel or holiday home. According to the most conservative estimates, the interior decoration and decoration of a house can cost three times more than the object itself.
Psychologist: Everything is simple to the point of banality: the owner loves to impress people and be the center of attention. He enjoys great authority in certain circles. And Vladimir Solovyov is surrounded by many enemies
Yuri Bashmet
Psychologist: The owner of this house probably had a poor childhood. Pronounced ambition and desire to manage. Doesn't like to let strangers into his life. Maybe he even has some kind of Bluebeard secret.
Realtor: It will be almost impossible to sell such a huge territory. Most likely, the owner will not do this - the house will be inherited. The big minus is that the mansion is located next to the highway. The noise from cars makes life unbearable for household members.
Andrey Konchalovsky
Psychologist: A person lives here who is distrustful and not very positive. For him, the main thing is that those around him listen and obey. He can be cruel at times. This may be due to the fact that he believes that goals are more important than people.
Nikita Mikhalkov
Psychologist: Master at heart. It can be different, but more often - a kind person with an open heart. We are vulnerable, but easy-going, although we never forgive major insults.
Realtor: The place is legendary and prestigious, and the prices here are among the highest. One hundred square meters here costs about $110 thousand. Such estates are similar to real family estates, which, in fact, have no price. On the one hand, it is strange and unusual for modern people that on a huge territory (about a hectare) there are almost no additional buildings. On the other hand, I know from experience that it is precisely this kind of space and silence that every city resident dreams of.
Yuri Antonov
Psychologist: There is definitely greed in the owner. A man of the “kurkul” type, as people say.
Realtor: This three-story mansion looks like a real Russian noble estate and a Soviet Palace of Culture at the same time. Apparently intended for a large family. Cozy and tasteful. A house like this, put up for sale, will go down the drain.
Joseph Kobzon
Psychologist: Either the ancestors of the owner of this house knew what a good life was, or the person dreamed of being like such people from childhood.
Realtor: The estate consists of several houses, all of them made of high quality building materials. The interior decoration is also probably not cheap, so the cost of finishing can be as much as the mansion itself with a plot in addition.
Alla Pugacheva
Psychologist: It seems that the house was built as a mini-hotel. Either the owner planned to rent out the premises, or he likes to invite family and friends. But he certainly doesn’t lack an entrepreneurial spirit.
Realtor: A big plus is that the house is located away from others. In addition, there is a forest all around, and a pond nearby automatically equates this place to a dream cottage. The mansion was built using high-quality building materials in a classic style. This one will last for 100 years and will always be valuable. In my understanding, this is exactly what a country house should be like: quiet, green, fresh and no one around.
Valentin Yudashkin
Psychologist: For the person who built such a house, punctuality is most important. He got used to a certain routine. Likes to manage people and processes.
Realtor: Minskoe Highway occupies third position in the list of priority destinations near Moscow, and Bakovka is one of the most expensive places. But today buying real estate here is unfashionable and unprofitable. Difficult transport accessibility and overly inflated prices can scare off buyers. The mansion is very archaic. You can look for buyers for this for a long time.
Alexander Tsekalo
Psychologist: Strange house. You don't need to be a psychologist to understand: his owner is trying to realize all his hidden fantasies in him. Gigantomania is clearly visible here. Perhaps the reason is some serious complex. And, most likely, coming from childhood.
Realtor: If we take into account the cost including finishing, the price can reach more than half a billion rubles. Now the house is under construction, and it is difficult to imagine what else the owner will think of to build on the site. A house made in high-tech style will certainly be the most noticeable in the village. An unusual facade, exclusive design, elite building materials - selling the property will be problematic.
Alexander Malinin
Psychologist: This person can be different: for some he is gentle and faithful, for others he is cruel and narcissistic. His goal in life is the desire to embrace the immensity.
Realtor: A very nice house both in terms of architectural design and color scheme, which is important. All existing buildings are made with extreme care and in the same style, successfully harmonizing. Made with taste and love. An ideal home for a happy large family.
Masha Rasputina
Psychologist: From his youth, a person tries to prove to others that he is no worse than others, and sometimes even much better. Childish and slightly unsure of himself.
Realtor: The house is fabulous, even like a toy. It’s immediately obvious: the owner is a woman; a man, I think, would not allow himself such an abundance of pink shades. Successful landscape design. But the project is too individual and therefore not attractive for sale.
Ivan Urgant
Psychologist: Perceives only himself and his point of view. Clearly egocentric. He strives by any means to occupy people's attention with himself.
Realtor: An extremely unusual shape of the mansion. Against the backdrop of classic dachas it looks like something cosmic. There are too many outbuildings: one gets the impression that what is in front of one’s eyes is a factory, not a home for a family. The owner is clearly building to last! Subsequently, such a domina will be of interest to few buyers.
Tigran Keosayan and Alena Khmelnitskaya
Psychologist: A supporter of everything Western. He wants to be valued not in the narrow context of his family, but far beyond its borders.
Alexander Lazarev
Psychologist: It seems to me that he is a very open and sociable person. There are no people who wouldn't like him. Honest, trusting, prone to compassion.
Realtor: Both houses look very modern - classic and Mediterranean style. But they require cosmetic repairs. This may reduce the price somewhat, but not significantly. Moreover, I am sure that the new owners will not rush into restructuring.
Vladimir Pozner
Psychologist: Definitely a very creative person. The traditions of his ancestors are overly important to him.
Realtor: The house was built a long time ago and without any frills. The latter is a big plus when selling. But, even despite the proximity of the airport, this place is considered elite, which is why the dachas here are not cheap.
Alexander Gradsky
Psychologist: The owner of the house is a pedant and values stability. He is surrounded by many people, he is constantly in contact with someone. But he often gets tired of communication, so he often needs personal space, to which outsiders are not allowed to enter.
Realtor: This is one of the oldest dacha places; houses here have always been valued. The proximity of the airport does not bother buyers. Even during the “hot” season, several super-expensive mansions are sold here. The house with columns and spacious balconies was built in a classical style, I would even say in the Soviet style. In my opinion, such an object may be of interest to older people; young people today prefer something more whimsical.
Leonid Yarmolnik
Psychologist: The owner is a great visionary, a dreamer and the owner of an artistic gift. As a child, I probably loved fairy tales, adventure stories and mischief.
Realtor: Simplicity and nothing superfluous. The pool on site is always popular. But there is a feeling that the house was built quite a long time ago, and it is clear that it needs repairs. You can't sell it for too much! A good option for those who want to buy a summer house in a prestigious location for a reasonable price. I'm just afraid that the repairs might cost more.
Mikhail Shats and Tatyana Lazareva
Psychologist: It is felt that the owner has experienced little real happiness and joy in life. Often feels misunderstanding. He treats his own appearance without fanaticism.
Realtor: A classic country house, nothing remarkable or interesting. He has no personality. There are a lot of them on the market. The picture is spoiled by a dubious wooden shed in the corner and a dump of building materials. If I were the owners, I would at least paint the house some fun colors. It wouldn't hurt for him to make a mess. Boring option.
Vladimir Soloviev
Psychologist: A nervous person, sometimes it comes to the point of bile. Has many enemies. Maybe that's where the irritation comes from. Open only with those closest to you.
Realtor: Two pretty good houses - a three-story mansion and a house with a veranda. A very modest plot of land by today's standards. In my opinion, there is not enough space for a large family or friendly gatherings.
Alexander Domogarov
Psychologist: There is clearly an inquisitive and sociable person living here. I would say that the owner of this house has an easy, flexible character. A huge number of ideas swarm in his head, but not global ones.
Realtor: In this elite gated community there are about
20 house buildings located in a forested area. The dwelling in the photo looks quite simple, but thanks to the rather large area of the land plot and convenient location to communications, it looks quite cozy. The territory is spacious, there are no unnecessary objects or pretentious buildings. As they say, everything you need for quiet happiness. I think the house would attract many buyers.
Today, most country houses near Moscow are built in the classical style. The average area of land is 10 - 12 acres, and the average area of cottages is from 500 to two thousand square meters. meters. But there are also objects of six to eight thousand square meters. meters. The average price level for such mansions in elite locations is $8 million. For comparison: a similar building in Marbella (Spain) will cost a maximum of 1.5 million euros.
By the way
The mansion of Briton Stuart Hughes in Switzerland is considered the most expensive house in the world. The cost of an object with an area of 725 sq. m is estimated at 7.5 billion euros. 200 tons of gold and platinum were used during construction.

For a creative person, building your own home is another opportunity to realize yourself. Therefore, it is not surprising that in decorating their homes, popular favorites demonstrate the same non-trivial approach as in creating a stage image. In a word, you just have to see it...
When several years ago Alexander Buinov said goodbye to the noise and bustle of city life, moving to a spacious country house, he called it, in the spirit of Sots Art, “The House of Friendship and Creativity.” “For me, a home is, first of all, a place where you can work, create, rehearse with ballet, with musicians. Do you know, there used to be writers’ Houses of Creativity? Probably there still are. So we built for six years, built and finally built our "House of Friendship".
“We” are Alexander and his wife Alena, who during the construction process “quarreled, argued, but did not listen to anyone’s advice”: they themselves developed the house project and came up with all sorts of design “tricks”.
Family legend says that the idea of the house goes back to the distant 1990s. Then, driving past a new building in Kuntsevo, Alexander saw a structure that amazed him.
“The gaps between the floors are like in a temple. And the windows! Huge, bizarre shapes - rectangular, oval. I didn’t even suspect then that such a house could be built here.” We don’t know whether they were able to complete the construction of that wonderful facility, but Buinov was able to. Impressed by what he saw, he came home and drew a sketch himself. There were also mystical coincidences: when the Buinovs were choosing a place for their future home, Alexander remembered a childhood story about how once upon a time he and his brother and childhood friend skied twenty-five kilometers from Moscow and reached an unfamiliar village with an ancient church. So, many years later he built his “white house” next to that very village.
In fact, in Buinov’s “modern” house, perhaps only old family photographs and a few pieces of furniture remind of tradition.
Therefore, Alexander’s confession sounds unexpected: “I have always had nostalgia for a house like that of Daria Ivanovna Kosova, my grandmother, who lived in the city of Efremov. In the entryway there was an earthen floor, and there was the aroma of kulesh - millet porridge with milk - mixed with the smell of kerosene. Grandma was very pious: old icons in the corner, lamps... A special Russian spirit was created in the house. At-mo-sphere! I always thought that a house should be just like that. So Alena and I moved for city. There is no earthen floor in our house, but... I still love porridge - the hostess treats me to it in the mornings." After these words, you notice how naturally, say, patinated chairs or an intricately shaped chest of drawers with gilded overlays fit into the nostalgic picture of traditional life.
Of course, the “white house” - the second, also unusual name for the mansion - did not appear immediately: constant concerts and tours often made us forget about the construction.
In today's version, it is a two-story mansion with an attic, on the first, “palace” floor of which there are two living rooms. One is furnished with more traditional style furniture, with the so-called “eastern corner”; the other is decorated in a modern spirit and combines the functions of a living room and a rehearsal and concert hall, it is also the “white living room”. Guests are received in one living room, then in another - depending on the mood.
On the second floor and in the attic, where the private rooms are located, there is wicker furniture, and the floors are lined with shiplap - according to Alexander, it is “very fresh there, as if you can feel the sea breeze.” There is also a special room in which all of Buinov’s famous concert costumes are stored. “This is a tradition, a relic,” so Alexander does not put them up for auction, as many artists do, but saves them “maybe for some museum or program...”
The entire bohemian crowd regularly visited the construction site of the future house, giving inspired advice. However, the only person whose opinion turned out to be as authoritative for the Buinovs as the arguments of the Pope for Catholics was couturier Valentin Yudashkin. “It was with his light hand that an extension appeared near the house, which over time housed a whole relaxation complex - a Turkish bath and a spacious toilet room. That’s what we call it: the outbuilding named after Yudashkin.”
By the way, this is considered relaxation according to a shortened program, while the full one includes a trip to the bathhouse (in winter there is an additional option: jumping from the bathhouse directly into the snowdrifts), after which guests are invited to “proceed to libations and a hearty dinner. An impromptu concert is a must.” Buinov’s principle of selecting performers pleasantly surprises with its democratic nature: “All my guests perform, even those who have nothing to do with art. Businessmen and politicians begin to sing and read poetry. Unexpectedly for everyone and most of all for themselves.”
The energy of Alena and Alexander leaves no doubt that some changes must constantly occur in the house. Sasha believes that he is a conservative: “I get very used to things: the sofa, the carpet, the cups. Alena, on the contrary, loves change. She can change everything in the house once a month or every three months. I come from tour, but at home everything is already new. After that, I walk around unhappy, well, for a week, probably. Then I get used to it, I get used to it."
But by and large, the tastes of Alena and Sasha still coincide, and there was no case when he did not ultimately like the choice of his wife. And as far as Eastern things are concerned, they, as they say, have complete consensus. An “eastern corner” has even been created in the living room: a stunningly beautiful dark wooden screen, painstakingly decorated in an oriental manner with a geometric pattern of round and oblong shells, fences off the small kitchen.
Both the screen and the mirror hanging next to it on the wall with the same shell ornament on the frame, and the floor lamp were found in Italy, although there is a suspicion that their homeland is one of the Far Eastern countries. The craftsmanship of these pieces is simply breathtaking, and it is not surprising that, as Alena says, “we are dying from this angle”: if she had the opportunity to devote time to this, she would select all the furniture in the interior in this style. There are a lot of books from haiku and tanka in the house - Alexander collects them: “I really like haiku - it’s an artistic image, certainly addressed to the time of year, plus the mood: “I look, a fallen leaf has flown up onto a branch again... It was a butterfly”...
Skillful spraying of paint makes the wooden bowls and dishes standing on the canopy of the kitchen cabinets look like stone ones - these rarities, brought from Southeast Asia, are used during tea ceremonies taking place in the “eastern corner” with long conversations and leisurely tasting of real tea. And Alena knows a lot about it and masterfully prepares aromatic mixtures from different varieties.
However, in the Buinovs’ house, every item is in a certain sense a rarity, because it must “carry creative energy.” Alena’s credo when buying things is: “I always remember that this is an artist’s house.” In practice, this means that there must be things whose purpose is unclear to the “ordinary person.”
It must be said that the Buinovs have achieved amazing success in this direction: if the function of a lamp with a lampshade made of “big-eyed” glass plates is, in principle, clear, then guess that a bucket with a nickel-plated tap mounted on a mysterious transparent tube is “an air conditioner of the author’s work.” ", is beyond the power of even a specialist.
As for furniture, Alena and Sasha don’t buy consumer goods or just very expensive items - it’s not interesting - they always look for something original: “You need to see something in a store and fall in love.” It may turn out to be antiques or modern models - in any case, they will not be covered with covers, they will lie on the sofas for their pleasure, and cups will be placed on the table. “The house should not turn into a museum; it should be comfortable for both those who live there and those who come.” Naturally, there are no problems with premature wear of things (and with a sense of humor): “The guests are all decent and well-known, so far nothing has been spilled or scratched.”
A huge white living room with a concert hall, where there is “a lot of light and air,” is a phenomenon from the series “you never dreamed of.” The idea of a concert hall located in a small bay window, by the way, also belonged to Yudashkin. His sacramental phrase: “Buinov, you are an artist, you should have a stage!” entered the annals of family history, and in the bay window with three-meter windows, instead of walls, a piano, a drum set and a bunch of other equipment inaccessible to the understanding of mere mortals appeared. “Like in a church,” says Buinov. “I love this comparison... It’s always light here, and when the sun is shining, it’s absolutely splendid.”
Previously, Buinov’s ballet was rehearsed in the central part of the living room, and the rest of the time they played billiards or ping-pong here. The last activity, as a rule, caused a surge of enthusiasm in the third inhabitant of the house - a cat with the natural name Kotik, the owner of a breathtaking aristocratic pedigree and almost human intelligence. The cat completely controls everything that happens in the house, somehow managing to be in several places at the same time.
And the house of Alexander and Alena is famous for its hospitality and hospitality. Behind the spectacular external gloss, one can feel real homely warmth and comfort - sensations reminiscent of Buinov’s statement about clothes: “I can wear a tailcoat when going out, but with it some kind of black T-shirt and leather pants, for example. On top, it seems, like at a parade, but you feel imposing, not squeezed, not “a man in a case.”

Where the stars found their country happiness
Maria Remizova
In one of the previous issues of "KP" we talked about in which apartments and areas do Moscow stars live?. But most celebrities have long loved to relax in nature. That is, outside the city. Our correspondent found out where and how much the stars bought their dachas.
More than 1 million dollars
Alla Pugacheva. Malye Berezhki village
Alla Borisovna started building the villa back in the mid-90s, when the fashion for country houses had just begun. The prima donna categorically did not like the first house that was built. The workers had to destroy the old and create the new. This time Alla Borisovna developed the design herself.
The dacha of the first Russian pop star is considered the most pathetic and luxurious. Only the living area of the house is about 1000 square meters! And behind a solid two-meter fence hides more than 50 acres.
On the façade the personal coat of arms “A.B.P.” shines. On summer evenings, the hostess retires to the cozy fireplace room. The house has three floors in total. Of course, an elevator is also included. Upstairs, Pugacheva loves to receive friends. There are many portraits of the Diva hanging on the walls of the living room. In particular, an erotic picture where Pugacheva is depicted with naked breasts. In a small room on the second floor, the singer made something like a prayer room. There the Prima Donna usually retires with holy images.
The singer has an underground garage for her large vehicle fleet.
There is also a small bathhouse on Alla Borisovna’s dacha plot. The same one that officials wanted to demolish earlier this year. They say that the prima donna is steaming in the wrong place. Fortunately, Pugacheva concluded a truce with the authorities. And the ill-fated bathhouse, according to the star owner, is not a bathhouse, but just an old outbuilding.
The approximate cost of a country house is $8 million.
Oleg Gazmanov. Serebryany Bor
After the birth of his daughter, “esaul” moved from the center of Moscow closer to the forest. It is in this country house, lying by the fireplace, that the singer composes his patriotic hits. In the forest, Gazmanov jogs for an hour every morning to maintain physical fitness. Oleg built his house according to an individual project, which was developed specifically for Gazmanov.
There is also a work area on the ground floor. The singer can work in an audio studio and rehearsal room. The artist’s wife, Marina, built a luxurious greenhouse under a glass roof in the side wing. And on the second floor of the Gazmanovs’ house there are exclusively living rooms.
The approximate cost of a country house is $1 million 200 thousand.
Valery Leontyev. The village of Valentinovka (near the town of Korolev near Moscow)
"Casanova" was one of the first entertainers to build a country house.
By the way, it was Valery Yakovlevich’s example that inspired the construction of Prima Donna. Until that time, Pugacheva visited Leontyev to take a steam bath in the bathhouse. By the way, the steam room is located in a separate annex house. In 1995, Alla Borisovna asked Leontyev to hold “Christmas meetings” in his big house. The good-natured singer agreed. As a result, tipsy colleagues broke all the dishes for Leontyev in the kitchen. And on the green lawn near the singer’s house there is a circle with a diameter of about three meters. Grass hasn't grown there for ten years. This disgrace was burned out with fireworks during the recording of Pugachev’s “meetings” by the soloists of the group “Na-Na”.
Leontyev's house has a gym and an underground garage. In spring and summer, the singer enjoys operating a lawnmower on the property and growing purple roses.
The approximate cost of a country house is $3 million.
Over 500 thousand dollars
Lev Leshchenko. Elite village Krekshino
Lev Valeryanovich primarily purchased the spacious two-story house to meet with friends. As you know, the singer’s closest neighbor is his friend Vladimir Vinokur. Bosom friends Leshchenko and Vinokur often visit each other for barbecues. On the ground floor of his country residence, Lev Valeryanovich plays billiards. And in the second, the singer is working out in the gym.
The approximate cost of a country house is $900 thousand.
Andrey Makarevich. Village Podushkino
The “machinist” got the country villa from a friend of the actor Leonid Yarmolnik. The latter sold Makarevich a summer cottage with an old house.
Andrei Vadimovich turned most of the rooms into a museum. In the living room there are paintings painted by the musician himself. In other rooms
Items brought from travels around the world are kept: a collection of bells, Orthodox icons, monastery keys and musical instruments.
Varum and Agutin. Elite village Krekshino
The couple had long since moved to permanent residence outside the city.
Even their daughter Lisa Angelica and Leonid recently sent to study at a local school near Moscow. Each member of the Agutin family has their own personal room. From the first day of their marriage, Angelica and her husband agreed that they would have an area where they could take a break from each other. The three-story country residence of artists stands on the shore of an artificial lake. Last spring, due to the fact that the water level in the lake rose very high, the celebrity site was flooded. The first floor, where the guest room and living room were located, was completely flooded.
The water was pumped out for several days. And then we had to do a major renovation on the first floor.
The approximate cost of a country house is $800 thousand.
Up to 500 thousand dollars
Irina Allegrova. Village Vatutinki
The empress of Russian pop music bought her country house from composer Oscar Feltsman. Allegrova always dreamed of living in the forest.
Naturally, the singer completely rebuilt the old house. All walls were covered with wood. The living room, as planned by the hostess, should have been bright. Therefore, Irina installed two large windows in the room on the sunny side of the street. On the stone veranda in the summer, the singer arranges wicker furniture and has tea with guests, enjoying the singing of forest birds. Allegrova's bedroom is made in the Roman style. The star's bed is located, as it were, on a podium, which is illuminated on four sides by multi-colored electric lighting. In the corner of the bedroom there is a sculpture of a Roman goddess. Allegrova’s favorite place in the house is the kitchen. The artist can stand at the stove for hours. The singer's kitchen and dining room are upholstered in dark wood.
The approximate cost of a country house is $400 thousand.
By the way
Some of the brightest stars have settled in the village of Krekshino.
A standard dacha in Krekshin can cost from $600 thousand to $2,000,500.
For the summer rent of a three-story house you will have to pay about $10 thousand per month.
Most city dwellers prefer to spend weekends at their dachas. Celebrities are no exception. They also try to live away from the noise of the city and prying eyes. Where exactly?

Nikolina Gora, Rublevo-Uspenskoe highway
The house is over 50 years old. It was built by Natalya Petrovna Konchalovskaya, mother of Andrei Konchalovsky. At that time this place was not considered fashionable, and there was an ordinary village nearby.
They also live on Nikolina Gora Vera Glagoleva, Lolita, Alexander Malinin, Nikita Mikhalkov.

Darya Dontsova, A plot of land (80 acres) 30 km from Moscow along Novorizhskoye Highway was purchased 10 years ago.
– I live outside the city all the time. It is much quieter here than in Moscow, and the journey to the city takes a little time. I don’t do much housekeeping, except that I walk the dogs, and my husband takes care of the flowers. As soon as it gets warmer, we hang a hammock between the trees and arrange cots. I lie on one of them, on the other - dogs or visiting cats. Mushrooms grow in huge quantities on the site. The guests are trying to collect them, but I don’t let them: in case they get poisoned. Two crazy squirrels are running through the trees, an owl is flying in. To relax at the dacha, you need... to understand that it exists for relaxation.

It’s closer and easier for me to travel from my dacha to work than from a city apartment,” says Alexander Belyaev. - I live here almost all year round. I take care of the lawn myself - mowing and watering it. I also listen to birds singing in the morning. Favorite hobby.
Also on the Kiev highway they live in Krekshino: Leonid Agutin And Angelika Varum,Vladimir Vinokur, Lev Leshchenko, Natasha Koroleva And Sergei Glushko.

Olga Prokofieva, actress, (“My Fair Nanny”, STS). The plot was purchased in the village. Zhavoronki (Belarusian direction). At first there were 10 acres, now - 21.
– The house was built in Soviet times. It was impossible to get bricks; they built from old ones. The women (me, my mother and my sister Larisa) sat in a circle, sang a song and... cleaned off the remaining cement from the bricks. Then we completed the third floor and made a billiard room there. I don’t have a cult of gardening, but what can compare with the first radish grown with my own hands? To relax at the dacha, you need... to get together with the whole big family.

Ekaterina Semenova, actress
Plot (6 acres) 2 km from the station. Monino (Yaroslavl road) was inherited from my grandparents.
For me, a dacha is an absolute disconnect from life,” admits Ekaterina. - I don't do anything there. I just breathe fresh air and, lying on the grass under the trees, read books that I don’t have time for in the city. Sometimes friends come, then we grill kebabs and have philosophical conversations. I don’t garden - maybe that will come with age? To relax in the country, you need... sun, a hammock and a good book.

Oleg Gazmanov, singer.Plot (18 acres) in Serebryany Bor,I built the house myself.
I don’t have vegetable gardens at my dacha; I don’t grow potatoes there. But I plant trees. There are already about 600 of them. Pines, thujas, spruces and cedars. 7 years ago, my colleagues, TV presenters, musicians, and I held an action called “Plant a Victory Tree in Serebryany Bor.” And to relax at the dacha, you need... to take a shovel and do a good job.

Alla Dovlatova, actress("Secrecy of the investigation").I bought a plot of land (20 acres) in the village of Krekshino (Kiev direction) 9 years ago from the singer Valeria.
After purchasing the house, we tore down the second floor and rebuilt it. The former owners took good care of the site, and we got well-groomed trees around which I planted tulips. We also built playgrounds with slides and swings for our eldest daughter. Now his son plays there, and soon his youngest daughter will join him. If it weren’t for traffic jams, I would live in the country all year round! To relax at the dacha, you need the sun to shine and everyone to have a day off.

Lyudmila Senchina, singer. Pos. Gruzino near St. Petersburg.
I bought this house in the town of Gruzino, where there are many summer cottages for actors and musicians, almost 25 years ago. Then I suddenly wanted silence and fresh air. Gradually the building was insulated, water and heating installed. Still, life in nature should be comfortable. My dacha is for relaxation. I don't grow anything here. Although I have an assistant who does all the work on the site.

“I used to stay overnight at the dacha even on weekdays. And at 5 am I left for work. But now there are such traffic jams... I don’t like to plant on the site, but I like to take care of the plants. I also love it when friends come to the dacha. This happened more often before. To relax at the dacha, you need a lot of people - sitting at the table, drinking tea and telling interesting stories.

Nikolai Lukinsky, comedian. The dacha was bought 11 years ago in Malakhovka outside Lyubertsy
“I didn’t even imagine that I could live outside the city,” says Nikolai. - 16 years ago we rented a dacha here in Malakhovka outside Lyubertsy. Then we bought a small dacha. And when a village began to be built nearby, we purchased this plot with a foundation. Three years later, the brick house was built, my wife and I spent the night in it for the first time, and in the morning I said that I would never leave here again. Wonderful air, silence and a place that we have already grown to love.
Our house is 200 square meters, it has two floors, three bedrooms, two offices, a dining room, a living room, a kitchen and a basement-gym. My wife and I live together, our daughters are already adults. The eldest, Olga, is receiving her third higher education in pharmacology, living and studying in Spain. And the youngest, Dasha, graduated from the Institute of Management, got married, and her grandson Lesha will be three years old in September. We are glad when they come to visit us. Next year, by the way, it will be 35 years since my wife Irina and I have lived together. The plot is 10 acres, there is room to roam. In one part of the property we created a relaxation corner where you can sit, look at the water, and read a book. But at the dacha you can’t relax all the time. Once a week I mow the lawn - it's not a woman's job. If I need to dig up something serious, I also do it myself. When we planted the Christmas trees, we gave them names: Arsyusha, Sonya, Henrietta - in honor of the children of our friends.
In another part of the site there is a gazebo with a barbecue. I placed the gazebo, as it turned out later, in the sunniest place. It was so hot that it was impossible to stay in it. Then we planted grapes, they entwined the gazebo, and it became comfortable. In hot weather it is cool, in windy weather it is warm. In the summer we have lunch there.
Alexander Buinov is a people's artist, singer, musician, actor, showman and composer. Born in March 1950 in a military town on the border with Moscow. After his birth, the family moved to a communal apartment on Bolshoi Tishinsky Lane.
At the insistence of his mother, he received a primary musical education, and during his school years he met Gradsky and became a keyboard player in the group “Skomorokhi” he created. Left the group due to conscription into the army. After demobilization, he worked in different groups until he joined the popular group “Jolly Fellows” in those years, in which he worked for sixteen years. In the early 90s he began a solo career.
Personal life
There were three more brothers in the family, the eldest died in an accident, and the youngest died in 2017, the third brother retired. All three received primary musical education and were directly related to creative activity.
He first married Lyubov Vdovina in 1970, but they divorced two years later. The second wife was Lyudmila, from whom a daughter, Yulia, was born in 1972. This marriage broke up after thirteen years. The third wife in 1985 was Alena (nee Elena Gutman). He considers this marriage the most successful. Alexander also has three grandchildren from his daughter Yulia and an illegitimate son, Alexey, born in 1987 from a short holiday romance.
House of Alexander Buinov
The singer built his country mansion in the village of Krekshino for more than six years. I developed the project and design of the house myself. As a result, according to Buiny and his wife, they ended up with a unique structure, which they called the “House of Friendship and Creativity.”
On the ground floor of a two-story building with an attic there are two living rooms, one of which is decorated in white and modern style, ideally combining a rehearsal and soft area. The second is furnished in a traditional style with oriental motifs. There are patinated chairs and an interestingly shaped chest of drawers with gilded overlays.
The owners are big fans of oriental furniture and figurines, which is why they have created a special corner in the oriental style, in which there are items brought from Italy, but clearly made in the eastern country. This includes a mirror with an ornament of shells, an intricately shaped lamp, and a screen separating the living room from the miniature kitchen. There are also many tanka and haiku books on the shelves of the “oriental living room”; the owner collects them.
On kitchen cabinets, rare dishes with a special coating of paint attract attention. Wooden saucers, plates and a teapot look like stone ones and are used by Alena directly for their intended purpose. She is a big fan of green tea and tries to fulfill all the requirements of this art during the brewing ceremony.
It is worth noting that Buinov and his wife are not chasing rare or especially expensive pieces of furniture. Following their ideas, the owners included a floor lamp with an intricate lampshade made of glass plates into the interior, as well as a “bucket with a tap” that bewildered all the guests. Not every specialist will guess that this is an air conditioner.
On the second floor there are bedrooms and guest rooms, which lead to open balconies. On one of them there is a small recreation area. The floors here are laid out with shiplap planks, and instead of massive furniture there is wicker furniture. There is also one of the collections of edged weapons, which are given as gifts by friends and admirers of creativity.
In addition to the bedrooms, there is a storage room for concert costumes on the top floor. The artist does not put them up for auction, but carefully puts them away for storage, intending to donate them to a museum or use them in some program in the future.
On the advice of one of the friends, a low room was added to the house, in which a spa center with a swimming pool, sauna, hammam, and exercise equipment was placed and named after the friend - the outbuilding named after Yudashkin.
More than ten years ago, a huge tent also appeared on the territory, accommodating more than two hundred guests. Alena ordered it to celebrate her birthday, which they decided to combine with Maxim Galkin’s name day.
The area was cleared of unnecessary plants and trees, and the foundation was poured. The interior was decorated by the hostess in black, with snow-white elements in textiles. After the celebration, they decided to leave the tent, and now all significant events are celebrated in it. A few years ago, Buinov’s anniversary was celebrated there.
According to CIAN, cottages in the village of Krekshino cost from 10 to 120 million rubles and more.
