Not every artist manages to win the hearts of entire generations, but today's hero is exactly what differs from most of the domestic stage. Nikolai Vyacheslavovich Rastorguev is a legend of the national stage, the one and only vocalist of the Lyube group, which was founded back in the days of the USSR, and later moved to the post-Soviet stage.
Nikolai has two titles, People's Artist of Russia and Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. In 2010, Rastorguev becomes a deputy of the State Duma of Russia with a term of service of one year in this government body.
Rastorguev's songs have been among the most recognizable for many years. Accordingly, he has a huge number of fans inspired by his musical works and concerts. A large number of admirers of his talent are interested in his height, weight, age. How old is Nikolai Rastorguev at this point in time is an equally interesting question, which we can easily answer. Now the artist is 61 years old, and his physical data are as follows: 174 centimeters tall and 85 kilograms of weight. In addition, the sign of the singer's zodiacal calendar is Pisces. And for the most inquisitive fans of Nikolai's work, it would be nice to mention the sign according to the eastern horoscope - Rooster!
He also has a fan audience that did not find what the young Nikolai Rastorguev was like. Photos in his youth and now can be found without much effort on the World Wide Web, because materials of this nature are in the public domain.
The future singer was born in one of the villages of the Moscow region. The biography of Nikolai Rastorguev began on the 21st, the last month of winter, in 1957. Father: Rastorguev Vyacheslav Nikolaevich, worked as a driver. Mother: Rastorgueva Maria Alexandrovna was engaged in sewing at the factory. After Nikolai had a sister, who was named Larisa, their mother was forced to leave the factory production and deal with sewing orders right at home, in order to give more time to her children, we are talking about both education and attention. As a child, Kolya was quite an ordinary child who grew up in the USSR. This is a school of yard football, and forays into a forest plantation and to construction sites that were in the vicinity.
The future singer repeatedly received scolding from his father, both for poor academic performance and for his adventurous outings. Already at that time, little Kolya began to learn to play the guitar, devoted a lot of time to reading, and also drew.
A very important event in the life of the future artist was going to the cinema with his friend, whose mother held the position of that same cinema. It had the loud name "Illusion". There, Nikolai first saw a cinematic picture of the history of the Beatles rock group. This had a very strong influence on the guy, and inspired by the success story, the future legend decides to seriously take up the guitar. At the same time, he was well aware that he did not have a fine ear, and his musical skills left much to be desired.
After leaving school, Kolya enters the Technological University in Moscow. But he was not up to study, and he was often absent and studied music, and he was expelled after an incident with the headman of his group, Nikolai beat his headman for informing on the guy.
After that, Rastorguev begins his journey as a musician and vocalist. And in 1989 the Lube group was born and exists to this day.
At the beginning of the 2000s, the President of the Russian Federation awarded Rastorguev the title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation. And later the singer became the official confidant of the current President of Russia Vladimir Putin.
Last year, the vocalist had a heart attack before a concert. After that, a storm arose and everyone discussed whether Nikolai Rastorguev died at all. The cause of death was related to the heart. But these are just rumors and speculation, but in fact, doctors have confirmed that nothing threatens the artist's life.
The personal life of Nikolai Rastorguev is not as saturated as that of most modern artists with their scandals, dramas and incessant romances, but at the same time, the singer was not known as a monogamist. The artist divorced his first wife the way he found his adult love - Natalia. At the moment, Nikolai is in his second marriage and is very happy.
Both the first and second wives gave him wonderful children. By the way, the current wife of the artist is several years younger than her chosen one, but this did not become an obstacle to their strong family relationships. The couple supports each other as well as their children, and the children reciprocate.
Speaking about family relationships, we can say that the artist was incredibly lucky in this regard. The family of Nikolai Rastorguev is strong and close-knit, and the singer himself, in this regard, boasts an idyll.
The current family of Nikolai consists of his magnificent wife, two loving sons and a beloved granddaughter. Ten years ago, the artist and his entire family experienced a rather strong shock, as it turned out, the singer was diagnosed with kidney failure. The solution to the problem was a kidney transplant, and the operation had been waiting for two whole years, and all this time his family was by his side. Now he feels strong and confident, and all thanks to the family and its support.
Maintaining strong family relationships is something that not every family has. The children of Nikolai Rastorguev are very close to their father.
The eldest son, named Pavel, already has his own family and a daughter, who is the singer's granddaughter. The girl was named Sophia and she continuously lives with her grandfather, whom she loves with all her heart.
The youngest son, already from his second marriage, also has his father's namesake, as they called him Nikolai. To date, the young man has chosen the art of acting. Ever since his school years, the guy surprised everyone around with his talents.
Forty-one years ago, the son of Nikolai Rastorguev, Pavel Rastorguev, was born. His life is already in full swing. He has a gorgeous daughter, whom he brings up, never missing a chance to enjoy his father's moments.
Pavel received a diploma in cultural studies. It often happens that children will inherit the genes of their star parents, but in the case of Paul, nothing like this happened. He grew up to be quite an ordinary person. With his father, the eldest son maintains a very warm relationship and often turns to the legendary singer for his father's advice.
The second son of Nikolai Rastorguev, Nikolai, was born in his second marriage. The boy was named after his father, and apparently not in vain. Starting from school age, the guy showed his talent to all the people around him. Until recently, the young man lived with his parents.
Nikolai Rastorguev Jr. has already excelled in a kind of theatrical skill. Kolya voiced one of the roles in a full-length cartoon called "Three Heroes". And everyone who follows the latest news from the family of the legendary singer hopes that the debut of Rastorguev Jr. was not the final stage in his work.
As repeatedly mentioned earlier, the ex-wife of Nikolai Rastorguev, Elena, gave life to the eldest son of the singer. And Elena and Nikolai met when they were still very young, it was Nikolai's first love. The wedding took place when the singer was 19 years old, and they lived in perfect harmony for fifteen years. But unfortunately, the couple divorced after a long and strong, as it seemed, relationship.
Elena never put pressure on her husband, even when the financial situation of the family was deplorable. She believed in Nikolai to the end, that his work was recognized, and it happened, the singer gained fame, but continued his life path with another lady of the heart.
The reason for the dissolution of the singer's first marriage was a new love. At the very beginning of the nineties of the twentieth century, while on tour, Nikolai met a magnificent woman who worked as a dresser for a team called "Architects".
For a long time they met secretly, and after that the couple entered into a marriage alliance. The current wife of Nikolai Rastorguev, Natalya, is still next to the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation. She gave her husband a second son, who was named Kolya. Some believe that the singer is still very popular thanks to Natalia.
The artist is a representative of the so-called "old school" and he does not need such services as Instagram and Wikipedia. Nikolai Rastorguev cares only about his family, and it is not possible to allocate much time for other things.
However, the singer has an official page in the free Internet encyclopedia "Wikipedia" where you can find all the reliable information about the singer's life in chronological order. There you can also find a list of his works, as well as tours in which he participated. But an account on a social service for sharing photos and videos called Instagram. The article was found on alabanza.ru
Nikolai Rastorguev - singer, musician, soloist of the Lube group. He has the title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation.
Most of the life of Nikolai Rastorguev is associated with the Lube group, of which he has been working as a soloist for many years. Almost all of his songs are hits, he is exactly the singer who was so expected in the late 90s. He is his own - reliable, simple, sincere. Rastorguev is one of those who looks like a friend of his youth who lives in a neighboring yard, whom you trust more than yourself. Nikolai is often called the "battalion commander" of the national stage. Several generations managed to grow up under his music, and it has not lost its relevance even now. In addition, he is a successful actor and politician.
Nikolai Rastorguev was born on February 21, 1957 near Moscow, in the small village of Bykovo. His parents were ordinary Soviet hard workers. Father Vyacheslav Rastorguev is a driver, mother Maria Kalmykova is a seamstress. Mom immediately worked in production, but when the youngest daughter Larisa was born in the family, she quit and worked at home in order to spend more time with the children.
Kolya studied poorly, but not because science was difficult for him, it was just that the boy was bored. But he drew well, read a lot and was fond of music. Dreams of becoming a musician appeared during my school years, and became stronger after watching the famous painting "A Hard Day's Evening". It was there that he first saw the Beatles, heard their music, which sunk into his soul from the first chord. Together with friends from the court, Nikolai began to imitate these stylish guys, they tried to play the guitar and even compose simple melodies, but nothing came of it.
When Rastorguev told his mother about his dream, she did not support him, on the contrary, she tried to convince him that he had no data for a musical career - no hearing, no voice. But he did not listen to his mother's criticism, and became a vocalist in a musical group. True, this cooperation was short-lived.
Having received a school certificate, in which there were mostly triples, he succumbed to the persuasion of his parents and became a student at the Moscow Technological Institute of Light Industry. He had absolutely no desire to study, because his parents liked this university more than he did. Constant absenteeism began, instead of couples, Nikolai had fun with friends. Rastorguev did not even think that the headman of their group was so responsible and principled, and regularly notifies the dean's office about absenteeism of classmates.
Nikolay decided to settle the misunderstanding, but he pushed the headman too hard, so that he ended up in the hospital. The teachers took up arms against the negligent student, and waited for him to make a mistake. They did not have to wait long, exactly until the next session, for which Rastorguev was not ready. He flunked all the exams, and immediately received an order for expulsion.
Nikolai was not upset, he decided that he would go to the army. He really wanted to join the Airborne Forces, but to his great disappointment, he was not taken anywhere. The medical commission found contraindications for military service, and he was immediately commissioned. The work biography of Nikolai Rastorguev began with work at the Institute of Aviation, where he was taken as a mechanic.
Nikolai never studied at a music school, not to mention a specialized education. But this did not stop him from going towards his childhood dream. In 1978, he was accepted into the famous Six Young group, which thundered in the 70s of the last century. Just at that time, the composition of the ensemble almost completely changed, so Rastorguev easily joined the new team. Their group often performed in Vysotsky's concert program, so Nikolai could learn all the skills of performing arts and learn music from the famous bard.
In 1980, Valery Kipelov, whose name was not known to anyone in those years, came to their group. A little time passed, and he became very popular with hard rock fans.
Together with this team, the first recognition came to Nikolai. They had their first fans, their performances were warmly welcomed by the public. Thanks to such recognition, in 1980 their group in full force received an invitation from the leader of the Leisya, song group, who invited young musicians to his place.
The guys were very talented, and Vitaly Kretov approached the creative process quite responsibly, so the group “Leisya, song” soon became one of the most famous, and the composition “Engagement Ring” poured from all radio receivers for many years.
The Leysya Song group was created on the basis of the Kemerovo Philharmonic, so it had to work out the mandatory programs that were established by the state. As soon as the team did not pass these standards and norms several times, they were immediately abolished. The team broke up in 1985.
Rastorguev was left alone, at the crossroads. He did not know what to do next, but he was not going to part with the music, by no means. It was then that the idea of his own group first came up, but he decided that it was too early and began to attend numerous auditions. Nikolai was impressed by the Singing Hearts team, but he was not taken there, despite his experience and talent. Then he found a place as a bass player in the Rondo group and at the same time was a vocalist in the Hello Song! Ensemble.
This continued until 1989, when composer Igor Matvienko appeared in Rastorguev's life. Nikolay shared with Igor his idea of creating his own team, and he supported him.
Nikolai Rastorguev with the Lube group in 1989 Rastorguev came up with the name of the group himself. As a child, he heard this word more than once - “Lube”, which in translation from jargon means “different”. It was it that was more suitable for the newly created team, because the musicians adhered to different styles and genres of performance. Since that time, a new page has opened in the biography of Rastorguev - the whole Union immediately recognized his name.
Glory came to them literally after the first song performed. On April 14 of the same year, the musicians sang the song "Old Man Makhno" on TV, and the next day they woke up famous. When Nikolai hatched the idea of creating a team, he did not even imagine that the success would be so loud and stunning that they would be listened to for more than three decades.
Alla Pugacheva helped the musicians in their work on the stage image, and she advised the soloist to try on a tunic and riding breeches, because basically their repertoire included military songs. Rastorguev found this advice very wise, and soon all the musicians of the group changed into military uniforms, in which they were depicted at the beginning of their creative activity. On the stocky and dense Nikolai, the uniform looked especially good.
The compositions that were included in the first album - "Don't play the fool, America!" and "Atas" were listened to in every house. Among the most popular works of that time, it is worth noting the songs “Younger sister”, “There beyond the fogs”, “Horse”, “Taganskaya Station”, for which the group was awarded the Golden Gramophone.
The popularity of Nikolai Rastorguev grew with each new composition. In 1997 he became the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation, and in 2003 he was awarded the title of People's Artist.
The group continued to perform successfully and record new discs. In those years, the musicians delighted fans with new collections "Combat" and "Zona Lube". At the beginning of the new century, the discs “Come on for ...”, “Half-stops”, “Guys of our regiment” were released.
The singer performs not only solo or as part of his group. In 1998, together with Sofia Rotaru, he sang the song "Zasentyabrilo". After that, the artist recorded the composition "Birches" in a duet with and the song "Long", where the musician was accompanied by Lyudmila Sokolova.
Rastorguev and also performed a duet composition "Long", which sounded during the anniversary concert dedicated to the 55th anniversary of the singer. Five years later, the Lyube team, together with Alexander Marshal, sang the song "Hare Sheepskin Coat", which immediately became a hit.
In addition to songwriting, Rastorguev also has work in cinema. For the first time, the artist appeared on the screens in 1985, when he, as part of the Rondo group, participated in the recording of Voznesensky's concert. Then Nikolai had to play a cameo in the film "Lube Zone", which he directed. The picture told about the musicians of the group and their song heritage.
In 1996-1997, Nikolai starred in the musical project Old Songs about the Main, where he was entrusted with several comic characters. After that, he received an invitation to shoot films of criminal or military genres. In the tape "Chek" the singer had a chance to temporarily become the detective Gennady Rastorguev.
In 2015, the filming of the film "Lyudmila Gurchenko", dedicated to the memory of the famous actress, began. In this tape, Rastorguev tried on the role of Mark Bernes. The film premiered in the autumn of the same year.
In the personal life of the artist, there were two official marriages. For the first time, he took a neighbor in the yard, Valentina Titova, to the registry office. Nikolai had just turned nineteen then, his beloved was a year younger. They were friends from school, they had their first love, which does not often, but sometimes ends in marriage. The newlyweds had to live with the bride's parents for some time, then they moved to a rented room in a communal apartment. They didn’t delay with the child, they quickly became the parents of their son Pavel.
The couple lived in marriage for 15 years, until Nikolai met a woman named Natalya. They first met on tour. Natalya served as a dresser for the "Architects" team, which served as a warm-up for the "Lube" group. He fell in love with her without memory, and decided that it would be fair if he divorced the first and married the second. In 1990, Rastorguev signed with Natalya. In 1994, the singer became the father of his second son, named Nikolai.
The musician and his family live in the Moscow region, they have a country house. Now Nikolai is already a grandfather - his eldest son Pavel had a daughter, Sophia. This news was announced to the singer during a tour in London. At first, he could not get used to his new title, and then he became his granddaughter's best friend. The girl is an excellent student, except for the usual one, she studies at art and music schools.
A strong friendship binds Rastorguev and the family of Dmitry Pevtsov. He baptized the actor's son, Elisha, in 2009.
In 2006, Rastorguev decided to go into politics. He became a member of the United Russia party because he is firmly convinced that this party is the only real force that can lead the country to prosperity and well-being. In 2010, he was elected to the State Duma of the Russian Federation.
In 2007, the musician first had health problems. He began to weaken, so it was decided to undergo an examination. It turned out that Nikolai had kidney failure, and in a neglected state, in which permanent hemodialysis was recommended. Rastorguev was put on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. At this time, he did not sit idly by, but continued to tour Russia. The only condition that had to be met on tour was to perform in cities where there are clinics with the necessary equipment.
In 2009, the musician received a kidney transplant. In 2015, he completed a rehabilitation course in Israel.
In 2018, the shooting of a picture called “We Will Not Say Goodbye” began, and Rastorguev was invited to sing the soundtrack for this tape. The song received the same name, it was recorded, and after a while a music video was shot, where the frames of this picture are based on.
Nikolai is not the first time to record songs for films. Before that, he had already performed musical compositions in the films “August. Eighth”, “The Dawns Here Are Quiet”, “Admiral”.
In 2019, the singer participated in New Year's programs, he appeared in concerts broadcast by Channel One and NTV.

Putin's favorite, "father battalion commander" Rastorguev moved to permanent residence in German Baden-Baden.

In fairness, it should be noted that the Crimean Nazi Rastorguev chose the German land almost immediately after the occupation of Crimea by Russia:
Elena Rykovtseva, January 2, 2015
Germany, Baden-Württemberg, Baden-Baden
About two patriots living in Baden-Baden. Misha. He's been here for two decades. But he never forgets about his native Kislovodsk for a minute. He has this Kislovodsk through every word. Me: "Oh, Misha, how it looks like Karlovy Vary here!" "They all look alike," agrees Misha, "Baden-Baden, Karlovy Vary and Kislovodsk." Misha - to me: "Have you been to Montreux?" Me: "I haven't been. And how is it?" Misha: "Montreux is very peculiar. He strongly reminded me of Baden-Baden, and through him Kislovodsk." Me: "Misha, what delicious cakes!" Misha (condescendingly): "Sure, this is Turgenev's favorite confectionery. But you come to Kislovodsk, there is a confectionery opposite the Rossiya cinema, that's where the eclairs are!" And so on. At the same time, Misha is not at all eager to return to Russia. Even without that, he didn’t really like all this Crimean-Nashi crap, and then there was the New Year. “I looked,” he says, “your New Year's show. There were huge fleshy women. They had black shiny dresses. And many other terrible things. After all this, I felt sorry for those who live there.”
Now another patriot. Nikolai Rastorguev. He also lives in Baden-Baden. By the way, Mishin's friend is next to Nikolai. He is not alone with him. A couple of years ago, Igor Matvienko mentioned in an interview that Nikolai settled in Baden-Baden next to him, and they really like to dine together right in the park.
And here's what's interesting. Misha in Baden-Baden talks about Kislovodsk. And when he comes to work in Russia, he is not at all shy about talking about Baden-Baden there. But when Nikolai Rastorguev arrives in Russia, you will never guess that he left it somewhere at all. In his interviews, he firstly says that Crimea is, of course, "ours". He also says that "in recent years, we have more and more reasons to be proud of our country, which has risen from its knees." Therefore, Nikolai tries to sing songs "with patriotic intensity." “We live in Russia, a huge state that simply must be strong. Otherwise, we will simply be torn apart,” says Nikolai Rastorguev, who actually does not live in Russia at all, or not only in it. But he is silent about it. And in his songs he sings about Russia from the Volga to the Yenisei, and never sings about Baden-Baden. And he also sings:
"We will stand until the end, for you, Motherland!
We will sing, we will walk, for you - Motherland!
And for the country three times "Hurrah!" for the Motherland."
And he does all this from Germany: he stands, and sings, and walks, and shouts "cheers" - everything is from there. Misha and Nikolai are two patriots, but which ones are different. Misha is faithful to his Kislovodsk, but at the same time believes that Baden-Baden (living in it) saves him from modern Russia. Nikolai, on the contrary, believes that it is Russia that needs to be saved from all external enemies, which, logically, includes the state on whose territory Baden-Baden is located. But at the same time, he lives there - both for health, which nevertheless let him down a lot, and, apparently, for pleasure, and not with the aim of monitoring the enemy from the inside, so as not to attack and tear his homeland.
The Lyube group has been pleasing Russian pop fans with their creativity for many years. But recently, more and more often her concerts are canceled due to poor health of the main soloist. There really are reasons for frustration, fans, and just caring people, are not worried in vain. Therefore, we want to write how Nikolai Rastorguev feels now, the latest news about his health, where he lives and whether he plans to continue his activities.
This is one of the oldest collectives of the national scene, which began its activity in the late 80s and has continued it to this day. Her soloist has always been and remains the People's Artist of Russia Nikolai Vyacheslavovich Rastorguev. He came here in 1989, came from the ensemble "Leisya, song." Since then, his stage image - a military tunic and songs that have become folk ("Atas", "Combat") are known and remembered by everyone. A whole generation of people has grown up on them, who cannot imagine a single festive concert without Lube.
But lately, the band has performed quite rarely, and scheduled events are often cancelled. This is due to the fact that Nikolai underwent a complex kidney operation and has heart problems. Plus, there is a crazy schedule of performances, for many years the artist has been creative without sleep and rest. Such a rhythm of life cannot but affect health.
The first alarming reports appeared in the press in 2008, then they wrote that Nikolai Rastorguev had an emergency operation. In fact, everything went according to plan. The artist once fell ill with pneumonia and, apparently, earned complications - after it he began to have back pain. He took them to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with serious kidney failure. Now he needed a transplant, and that requires a donor.
Upon learning of this, the fans were ready to become donors for free, just to save their favorite singer. But he refused such proposals, not wanting to stand out among others, resigned himself to the fact that now he will constantly undergo hemodialysis and did it almost without interruption from concerts and performances.
Then colleagues - members of the team, in order to support the soloist, stopped attending the lavish banquets and holidays usual for stars, since Rastorguev was now categorically forbidden to drink.
Nothing escaped the eyes of journalists and fans, rumors began to circulate, versions were put forward - everyone wondered what was happening to the leader of Lube. Some claim he is on a Thai diet or has cancer. Everything was revealed when the operation was done and was successful.
When, it would seem, everything was fine, there was news from Israel - the singer was again in the hospital. Immediately after the concert, he became ill. They began to say that the artist, who was very worried about his father (the day before he had a stroke), began to have problems with pressure.
Later, information appeared - this is not so. Nicholas affected by extreme heat and sandstorm, his pressure dropped sharply, due to which his state of health worsened at the end of the concert program.
Then Rastorguev spent only a couple of days in the hospital and was discharged.
And again, fans are worried: in June, before a concert in Tula, there were reports that the artist had a bad heart, he would not be able to perform. Indeed, this is so, he was taken to the hospital, but the team played the program together with the Slavs group, as it was intended.
“Ducks” began to appear again, that the beloved singer is now in the Tula hospital, or even does not go on tour at all due to poor health. But his press secretary, in rebuttal, explained what had happened.
It turned out that before the performance, the artist felt unwell, he was called an ambulance, the doctors of which diagnosed him with arrhythmia. It can happen to anyone, often we don't even notice it. Rastorguev spent several days under the supervision of doctors and went home to recover.
At home, his wife Natalia supports him. This is his second wife, he lived with the first for 15 years, but after meeting Natasha he divorced.
At a time when the soloist of the Lube group started having kidney problems, the couple decided to move live in Germany for permanent residence, in the city of Baden-Baden. This greatly stirred up the public and condemning messages began to appear on the Internet. Like, how is it that he sings patriotic songs, joined the party (in 2006 he became a member of the United Russia party), and moved to live abroad.
This is true, but there are good reasons for this - medicine in Germany is of better quality than ours, and when a person has serious illnesses and money, he goes to Europe for treatment. This is not his fault, each of us, having the opportunity, would have done the same.
In addition, the singer spends most of his time in Russia, shows an active civic position, and conducts political activities:
And where a person lives is not important, the main thing is what he can do for his country, what benefit he can bring.
Today, fans are interested in where he is and what he is doing now, they even write on the Internet that Nicholas died suddenly.
No, this is another "duck". According to the latest data, the singer is still at home, next to his wife. Doctors recommended that after the attack that occurred in Tula, he should rest more. What he actually does.
The rest of the information, for example, that Russia is saying goodbye to the lead singer of the Lube group or that he crashed at a ski resort in Austria - not true .
So, we told where Nikolai Rastorguev is now, the latest news about his health, since more than once we had to worry about him. For our part, we wish the artist creative inspiration, as well as take care of yourself in order to delight fans with unforgettable hits in the future.
In this video, correspondent Arseniy Polyakov will interview the artist, in which the singer will tell some unusual details of his personal life:
