Star of the 90s, singer Alisa Mon spoke about the divorce of her son Sergei and how her mother is going through a family tragedy.

The author and performer of the hit "Diamond" is an infrequent guest at social events. Svetlana Bezukh (real name of the singer) in her free time prefers to be at home for needlework, clean up, equip life ...

- Alice, you started your singing career early.

- Yes, I fell in love with music since childhood, I entered the pop department of the music school in Novosibirsk, then I went to work in the Labyrinth group at the Novosibirsk State Philharmonic, which was led by Sergey Muravyov, my future husband.

Sergey began to deal not only with the team, but also with my solo work, he wrote the song “Plantain Grass” for me, which later became a hit. We also released the album Take My Heart. Sergei and I got married, we had a son, whom we named Seryozha.

Alisa Mon / Singer's personal archive

Now my son lives with me, he is a very talented person. But he did not follow in my footsteps, because he is not interested in pop music, his path is the blues, he loves it very much and plays great, writes poetry. But we have one common creative work - a year ago we recorded the song “Say Love” with him. And they even made a video for it, where Seryozha also starred, he wrote the text himself, read it. It seems to me that the text turned out to be of high quality and even beyond its years some kind of philosophical one.

Seryozha also performs in nightclubs, he has his own audience. But he does not perform under the name Muravyov. My son does not like it when I talk about him, about his work, he behaves completely apart. And despite the fact that he, like me, did not go to a music school, music is easy for him.

- You are also a composer, you yourself wrote so many songs, including Almaz.

– But I don’t consider myself a professional composer, because I select music by ear, because I still don’t know the notes. I've been playing the instrument for a long time, and everything is clear to me without musical notation. So my son is a listener, he does everything by ear. Serezha is 25 years old, and he has long managed to get married. I really like my daughter-in-law, however. I don’t get into their relationship, but I want Dasha and Serezha to be together again. Because for me, Dasha is not a daughter-in-law, but my own girl, I call her daughter, and she calls me mom. She is wonderful, I like it very much, we understand each other. And I want Dasha to return to Sergey.

Alice Mon / Mila Strizh / "Interlocutor"

- You look wonderful. How do you take care of yourself, how do you feel about plastic surgery?

- Thank you. About seven years ago I was at the plastic surgeon, did blepharoplasty, I cut the lower eyelid. And that’s it, I didn’t use the services of doctors of this direction anymore. And the appearance, probably, by nature is such, genetics. My mother and I looked very good. And, of course, it knocked her down. She passed after the death of my grandmother, and then my dad died. Such grief is hard to endure, last year was very difficult. But my mom is holding on, she's done well with me. He does not smoke, does not drink, leads a healthy lifestyle, she is very correct for me! God bless her and give her health, she's amazing. Very much! She never asks for anything, when I go to visit her, I ask what to bring her. And she, like all parents, replies: “Nothing is needed, the main thing is to come yourself! And don't forget to take a warm jacket, it's cold here! That is, he tells me what the weather is like so I can get ready.

You often visit your mother. What are you bringing her as a gift?

- I buy gifts for her at my own discretion, intuitively: a microwave oven, a newfangled slow cooker. Of course, I don’t bring equipment from Moscow, you can buy it on the spot. And here are some things I buy for her here. Sometimes, of course, I bring necessary medicines. And my mother is an avid summer resident, loves to dig in the ground, plant flowers. Therefore, in order to please her, I bring some seeds. She is happy to work with plants, I am very proud of her, because I myself do not like vegetable gardens, garden beds.

Alice Mon with her beloved Yorkshire terrier Honey / Mila Strizh / "Interlocutor"

I like to work at home more. I have been a needlewoman since childhood, only when I was a little girl I sewed for dolls, and now I sew curtains to make the house cozy. I am also a pillow maker, I love to sew pillows. I am always pleased to do household chores for my own pleasure, however, there is not enough time for all my hobbies. And I also have my tailed "children" - a Voodoo cat and a girl dog, a Yorkshire terrier Honey. They are wonderful, sometimes I even dress them up in beautiful clothes, but they do not like it. I have a beautiful black cat. And I have long dreamed of making him a collar, so glamorous, like diamonds. I think this accessory will suit him very well. He is so graceful. They miss me very much without me, they need to be looked after, not left unattended. I also really love these wonderful babies. I think that everyone who has tailed "kids" understands me.

Sixteen years ago, the whole country sang lines from Alice Mon's song: "Diamond of your precious eyes." But then Alice suddenly disappeared from the TV screens. Many believed that the artist emigrated to America, others were sure that the star returned to her homeland, to Siberia.

However, all this time she lived in Moscow and actively toured. In an exclusive interview, Alice spoke about new creative successes, a difficult period in her son's life, and why she is not going to get married.

Alisa Mon correspondents of "Only the Stars" met at one of the combined concerts. Over the years, Alice has not changed at all: the same cheerful and radiant. Behind the scenes, the singer was in great demand: it seems that not only the public, but also her colleagues missed her. Alice did not refuse anyone: she signed autographs, took pictures and confessed: a white streak came in her creative life again.

“Last summer I spent in Moscow, in a frenzy and in traffic jams,” the singer immediately admitted. “Although, again, I got excited. I don't like to stand in traffic jams, so I prefer to take the subway. Many are surprised, but I like it. Because traffic jams then remain blood clots in my soul for a long time. Besides, I don't like to be late.

– Alice, during our last meeting you talked about subfebrile temperature (an increase in body temperature for a long time in the range of 37.5–38 ° C. – Ed.), which you suddenly had. Did you find the reason?

- You know, I just stopped measuring it. I realized that the artist always fixes the temperature at the moment when he has a lull in his work. And when the artist is busy, then he doesn’t care about the temperature. It seems to me that the more talented the artist, the higher the temperature becomes. I'm kidding, of course. But I used to treat everything with humor. Especially since recently I have a chic and divine opportunity to forget about it. But I always stand up for health, if there is health, there will be everything else.

- If you go back to the last meeting, then you told us about your son, who recently got married. Does he plan to make you a grandmother yet?

- No. But soon I, probably, will be married to my son. Along the way, they get divorced. In any case, this is how things stand today. I don’t want to get into their relationship, because during this time the daughter-in-law has become a kindred person for me. I realized this in the last two weeks especially sharply. Now I know that she is dear to me, my beloved girl. Almost a daughter, because she calls me mom, and I'm her daughter. Very hard!

– Are you trying to reconcile them?

- No, I don't climb at all. The main thing is not to harm. Well, to help, when asked, is probably also sacred. But to climb with the initiative is wrong. I am also an ancient girl, so I understand perfectly well that it is better to just be an observer. Although I cannot stand aside, because these are really close and dear people for me. I don’t know what will come of it and how they will taxi with their love, but I hope that everything will be fine. They have fatal love, that's the point. Although what is there to be surprised: they are both personalities, both are beautiful, both are talented and both are ... mine!

– What does "fatal love" mean?

“This is love that is mainly based on sexual relationships. But these sexual relationships are so strong that I see a burning light in the eyes of both Dasha and Serezha even now, when they are in strong contrasts. But they look at each other as if they are about to take and attack. But for now, they keep their distance.

–It's understandable with children. How are things in your personal life? Are you not going to get married?

- I'm just going to be a grandmother. I want to be my granddaughter's grandmother. Although I don't know when that will happen. But this is my dream. As God wills, so be it.

- Wait, have you really put an end to your personal life?

- No, just once for me the wedding was significant. And now, when next year I hit fifty kopecks, it somehow doesn’t matter to me anymore. I think the most important thing right now is
do what I need to do in this life. I gave birth to a son, built a house, now I need to grow a tree. And the tree is my work. My tree, I believe, has not yet given the fruits that I would like. But I hope that things will change soon. This summer I recorded a lot of new songs. I have a good team, a team of male fans who root for me with all their hearts and want everything to start again for me.

- Wait, what a stalemate when distributors say that Alice Mon has enough performances, whether she is shown on TV or not!

- It's true. But I had a certain stagnation in terms of the release of my work to the general public. And now everything seems to be getting better. That tree of which I spoke should bear fruit soon. Now it has already given flowers. New songs will be released soon, I will declare myself to the world and show my new material. I am looking forward to this event very much. I recently worked in Astrakhan. We were brought to the Philharmonic: we had to perform and immediately fly back.

When the concert started, these were people who were waiting for the buffet to begin. In 15 minutes it was already my audience, and in thirty minutes it was the people of the new Alice Mon. After the speech, the people who organized the performance called me for five minutes to talk. They told me: "Alice, your new repertoire is even stronger than the previous one." Such words are worth a lot! People are amateurs in the best sense of the word! In two weeks I will start shooting the first video, in total it is planned to shoot two videos.

- Now many stars declare themselves not only with the help of creativity, but also by participating in all kinds of shows that are so popular on television today. Why can't you be seen, for example, skating?

- I am terribly afraid of any injuries and everything connected with them. A year ago, I, a person who thinks well, went rollerblading with friends. She drove at breakneck speed. But as soon as I stopped, I was immediately driven around, I fell out of the blue and got such an abrasion that I had for a year. But sometimes I have to appear in public in dresses and transparent tights. If it happens that it interferes with my work, then I better not. I'd rather find another way to release my energy if there is nowhere to put it.

Let's talk about psychics. Now programs with their participation are very popular. Have you ever asked them for help?

- Yes. There was an incomprehensible period in my life when I did not know how to live on. I returned from Moscow to my homeland, to Siberia. And one day, fate pushed me into a girl who is a great guesser. I decided to find out what the future holds for me. She predicted everything to me: that I would return to Moscow, that I would have my own apartment. When she told me this, I didn't even believe it. Because I did not plan to return to Moscow at all. And you see, it all happened. I returned, I got my Almaz, I bought an apartment and returned to work again. All these years I have been touring tirelessly, recording new songs. And every time I saw: the audience misses me.

– The audience is bored, but do you often have a bad mood yourself? Are you facing depression?

“God, five minutes ago I was depressed until you came over. I can't be alone and sad. If I get up and nothing happens around, I already have depression. I don't like when there is no movement. As soon as an event begins, everything immediately passes. Until they called me and got the wrong number. It annoys a lot of people, but it doesn't bother me at all. At this moment, I have neither anger nor irritation! And I think it's right!

“For me, there is no such thing as treason. I always perceive a man who is next to me as a free person. And to recognize treason means to recognize a sense of ownership of another person. For me, treason is if a person close to me tells my secret to others But this is more a betrayal. Although I don’t understand when a man lives with his wife, but sleeps with others. Well, go to another right away! But what happens? She gets the beautiful side, and the wife gets the laundry, cleaning and ironing?", - says the artist.

They learned about Alice Mon in the 90s: her hit "Diamond" sounded from almost every receiver. But few people know that before the wave of her popularity, Alice lived in Angarsk for several years and worked in a local house of culture.

All this time, the future star carefully concealed the persecution and bullying by her ex-husband. Music and the love of fans were able to pull her out of a terrible family drama. Alisa Mon spoke about the experiences of her life and career on the air of the MIR TV channel.

- In the early 90s, you, in fact, ran away from your husband and part-time your producer Sergei Muravyov. The fact that he behaved cruelly towards you, the country learned only in the early 2000s. And you were silent for a very long time. Why?

Because my son didn't want it. He was a teenager at that moment - this is such a tender age, so, of course, he had to be respected. I once had a situation when my son Seryozha said: “Here, dad is this, dad is that, dad is better,” and I felt that this was a manipulation of my feelings, requirements. I replied: "Then go to him."

The son began to slowly digest this situation and realized that there could be no one better than a mother who actually wishes you well. Dad had all the good things in words.

We really needed help, but I didn’t ask for anything, although I knew that alimony was awarded to me, that I had the right to some part of the property, but Serezha and I didn’t ask for anything.

Why didn't you fight?

I don't know, maybe it's pride. But I was too offended, I needed to overcome it in myself. And I decided that since I have an insult of such magnitude, I will take everything into my piggy bank of sorrows and deal with everything myself. It was my initiative to get a divorce.

- Judging by the fact that you left everything and went to your parents on Baikal, your story was the same as that of Valeria and. Beatings, blackmail, threats?..

Yes, and bullying, and the suggestion that you are nobody and there is no way to call you, girl from the garbage.

- What was the last straw? Why did you decide to drop everything and tear it apart?

When he stole his son. Everything was hard and difficult. This was the last straw, he delivered an ultimatum: "Either you live with me, and your son is next to us, or you will never see him."

- And you secretly left Moscow?

Yes, on the overhead, because there was no more money. Friends helped me. And two weeks later my son and I were able to get to my homeland.

- Ants followed you?

Certainly. He tried to search, but, thank God, I had everything prepared and planned. So all I had to do was seize my chance to sneak out of the house with Seryozha. I had no dilemma - will I have money or not. It was important for me to just get out of the house.

- Then you left the child with your mother in the city of Slyudyanka, Irkutsk region, and you yourself left for Angarsk. Got a job... Why didn't you stay with your son?

Because of gossip. People were happy for the most part. It's a small town. But even in Angarsk many people came to take a look, because we had both Christmas trees and matinees. Everyone wanted to take a picture with the organizer, and sort of like with Alice Mon.

- Alice, you were twice thrown "on the crest of a wave", and the second time popularity came to you already ten years after the first hit "Plantain". Not everyone is able to withstand such somersaults of fate. What was more difficult for you - the descent from the musical Olympus to the provincial house of culture, or, conversely, the ascent back?

Now I understand that all this was not in vain, and all this should have happened exactly when it happened. I did not perceive it as a fall, I was worried about how we would live. We have no stake, no yard, no clothes, no profession. Everything that happened happened, and I was confused, I did not know what to do.

Therefore, when they took me to the Energetik cultural center and offered me the position of artistic director, I was very happy. I remember those years as some of the best. The second such period was when I returned to Moscow for the second time.

- Then an unfamiliar guy helped you, who recognized you as a big star, gave money to promote the video and write songs. But you never mentioned his name!

His name is Sergey Tokmen and I can say it with pride. He became an angel for me. I came to ask him for money so that we could release a cassette with my songs, because in Angarsk I began to actively write songs for the Almaz album. I came to him - he was advised as a businessman who loves music very much. He replied: “What are you doing here?” I told him everything, he gave me money for work, and after that my second creative life began.

We had one place in Angarsk where all the artists came - Sovremennik. It so happened that once there was some kind of overlay, and a group of singers was sent to our house of culture. I knew all the visiting stars personally, they all came up and wondered why I was in Angarsk.

The sound engineer of the Zemlyane group recognized me and offered to show my material in Moscow. I warned that I only had three thousand dollars. For ten days I waited for an answer with folded hands, and, finally, they called me from Moscow and asked me to come.

- Both of your husbands were associated with the Labyrinth group - both Vasily Marinin and Sergey Muravyov. Why didn't you get along with your first husband?

We were children, and everyone lived in their dreams. We were both very self-centered, each wanted happiness for himself. If I had remained married to him, it seems to me that I would have become a tavern singer. And so I achieved something thanks to my second marriage.

- You are no longer married. Why?

Maybe I was so scared, and now I'm too delving into men. I need to live with a man for three years to begin to understand him, and, as a rule, after three years I already understand that this is not my man.

I guess the problem is me, because I don't want love anymore. I dreamed about love before, now I want mutual respect and feel the need for each other.

- The second husband was 20 years older than you. I know that there was a man in your life who was 14 years younger. In which of the two stories did the age difference cause you inner discomfort?

Of course, I was more uncomfortable with a man 20 years older than me. I was 23, I was a child, and I had to catch up with him, I had to become a hostess, and I didn’t know how to cook anything except dumplings. And when I met young Misha, it was real happiness. I was not going to have children then, but he needed a family, and I let him go.

- You once said that the producer betrayed you, that he stole money from you. Have you sued?

No. So Tokmen decided, it was his money. He said: “That person has a child, I have a child - I don’t want to take sin on my soul.”

- Is it true that your hit "Diamond" did not bring you a lot of money?

Is it true. The producer received all the money from the Soyuz company, I didn’t tell anyone about this before. He put his copyright on the song and got everything himself.

- Do you want to get married?

Want! Of course yes!
