Childhood and education
Nikolai Baskov was born on October 15, 1976, in the family of Viktor Vladimirovich (military) and Elena Nikolaevna (math teacher) Baskovs. The first years of Kolya's life were spent in Balashikha near Moscow. 
When his son turned two years old, Viktor Baskov graduated military academy them. Frunze, and the whole family moved to his place new service in the GDR. For five years he served in Dresden, Königsbrück and Halle. Mother managed to get a job as a television announcer, but most spent time with her son.
The natural talent of little Kolya was evident from early years. Back in the GDR, when the boy was five, he suddenly began to sing with a loud coloratura soprano, and there was no doubt that he was destined to become a singer. Perhaps he inherited the ability to music from a phenomenally gifted maternal great-grandfather - who, without any musical education, could cope with any instrument.
In Germany, little Kolya went to school for the first time, finished first and second grades, and then the family moved to his father's new assignment - to Novosibirsk. In grades 3-7, the boy studied at the Novosibirsk school number 186.
In Novosibirsk, along with general education school the boy studied at the classical music school at the Novosibirsk Conservatory and graduated in 1989 with a gold medal. He also had another hobby - sports. Kolya was engaged in high-speed swimming in a monofin (double fins) and received the II youth category.
From the 8th grade, the boy studied already in the capital - at the Moscow school No. 1113 with an in-depth study of music and choreography.
From 1989 to 1992, Nikolai was part of the troupe of the Children's Musical Theater of the Young Actor. With teammates, he traveled half the world on tour: the USA, Israel, Switzerland, France. Already at the age of 12, he shone on the stage of the Paris National Opera in the opera The Magic Flute, in which he performed the part of the third boy. However, in home environment he did not feel like a "star" at all, but did everything ordinary work at home.
Clean up the apartment, do the laundry, set the table, cook something - in the order of things
The family did not live well, and as a teenager, Nikolai began, secretly from his parents, to earn extra money as an amateur trade: he sold chamomile at the station, traded perfumes in the market by hand. Once he sold fashionable perfume to the artist Alexander Abdulov - he just ran up to him and said: “Uncle, everyone knows you, but what difference does it make who you buy from? Buy better from me, it's so hard for me to stand here. Abdulov, without bargaining, made a purchase at a greatly inflated price, grinning: "You'll go far, boy." 
In the end, fartsovka led to serious troubles, and Kolya's father, in order to save his son, had to give away all the family savings. He did this without hesitation, but then he severely punished Nikolai, saying: "I'd rather beat you than others beat you in the gateway."
In Moscow, the Basque father served with the rank of colonel and could soon claim the rank of general, but for this it was necessary to go back to a new duty station, to Odessa. Viktor Vladimirovich chose to sacrifice promotion military career so that his son can study in peace and realize his dreams. After his death, Nikolai's grandparents left an impressive legacy: a car, an apartment, a dacha. At the family council, it was decided to sell everything and spend every last penny on the education of his son.
In 1993, Nikolai entered the specialty "musical theater actor" at GITIS and began working on vocals at a professional level. But at the end of the first year, he had to leave training due to ... skipping dance classes - Baskov's vocal teacher really did not like that her ward was engaged in "dancing" to the detriment of the vocal apparatus.

And his warmest work on television was the charity show "Big Little Star" on the STS channel, which he hosted from September to December 2015.
Personal life of Nikolai Baskov
Nikolai Baskov knew the joys of carnal love very early: at the age of 15, selling perfumes opposite Intourist, he often saw luxuriously dressed "night butterflies" and was "close friends" with some of them. The first love overtook the young man later, and one of his first girlfriends was the future famous actress Natalya Gromushkina. 
AT student years Baskov was seriously carried away by his Gnesinka friend Maria Maksakova, often visited her parents' house and admired her mother, actress Lyudmila Vasilievna Maksakova. “I was struck by her manner of communicating, intelligence, atmosphere at home, foundations and traditions, the presence of governesses, tutors. Such meetings change the perception of the world, ”the artist recalled.
On January 27, 2001, Baskov married Svetlana Shpigel (born November 12, 1981), the daughter of his patron Boris Shpigel. It was rumored that it was a marriage of convenience, but Nikolai dispelled doubts: “It was impossible not to fall in love with Sveta! A wonderful girl - beautiful, sophisticated, educated. Naturally, we communicated, gradually communication became more and more dense.
April 24, 2006, after 5 years living together the couple had a son, Bronislav Nikolaevich Shpigel. Nikolai was really looking forward to this moment, he canceled all his affairs and spent several days with his wife in the hospital. In the future, he fully cared for the baby: fed him, changed clothes and bathed him. And he even jokingly asked his fans to give him at concerts not flowers, but diapers. The son of Nikolai Baskov bears the name of his mother - Bronislav Spiegel
As a result, Broneslav grows up not knowing his own father and calling the second husband of Svetlana Shpigel, the oligarch Vyacheslav Sobolev, dad, and Baskov only hopes that his son will want to meet him when he grows up.
In 2009-2011, Nikolai experienced a beautiful public romance with former Miss Universe title holder Oksana Fedorova. This couple has always been surrounded by an aura of mystery: do they have real love, or is it a PR campaign? Baskov himself refuses to comment on this issue: "What was between us, let it remain between us."
Following this, in 2011-2013, the artist was in a relationship with another star, the famous ballerina Anastasia Volochkova. He still admires her beauty, talent and great sincerity, but says with regret: “It is incredibly difficult for two creative people to live as a family, there are too many problems to overcome.”
At one time, Baskov and Volochkova publicly announced their intention to marry, but then the ballerina suddenly stunned everyone with a statement: “Kolya and I are only friends and nothing more. I want to marry, but not for him.
After an unsuccessful romance with Volochkova, Nikolai lived for three years in a guest marriage with model and singer Sophie Kalcheva, spending everything with her free time. This time, the relationship gave the impression of being happy and harmonious, but, nevertheless, the couple broke up in early 2017.
In July 2017, Baskov announced his engagement to model and TV presenter Victoria Lopyreva. The wedding was supposed to take place on October 5, 2017 in Grozny, but then its date was postponed indefinitely. Later there were reports that the announcement of the wedding in Grozny was nothing more than a PR campaign. According to other sources, the mother of the groom asked to postpone the date, because October 5 is the day her father died. One way or another, Nikolai and Victoria still remained together.
In 2010, the singer acquired another specialty, graduating from the magistracy of the faculty government controlled Moscow State University. Nikolai regularly holds charity concerts - the singer has more than 160 of them: both at ordinary concert venues and in orphanages, hospitals and military units.
In the press, you can often find rumors about Baskov's numerous liposuctions. But, according to the singer's close people, he always got himself in shape on his own - hard training and cruel diets. In August 2017, he shocked fans with sunken cheekbones.
Nikolai Baskov now
In early October 2017, Baskov made a sensational statement that he was going to take a break from concert activity: “I need to take a break from myself, and the public should take a break from the old me and get to know the new one!”. 
Fortunately, this pause ended as soon as it began: on October 15, Golden Voice celebrated its 41st birthday with a sold-out show "Game" in the Crystal Hall concert hall in Baku. The joy of the performance and the support of the public inspired the artist so much that he decided to return to the big stage: “I realized that I cannot live without music, without the stage. It just won't be me!"

How tall and weight is Tom Cruise? There is in the network great amount Contradictory information regarding the height and weight of Tom Cruise. Some sources say about 1 meter 72 centimeters, others even more by 3-5 centimeters, and still others, Tom Cruise's height is at around 1 meter 70 centimeters. In order to find at least some reliable source, I began to look for an interview with the film actor himself, where he mentions something about his growth qualities. And I actually found it. Tom Cruise answered the questions of a Daily correspondent "Deeley- Why call him a pip squeak? I am 5"6" and no one has ever called me pip squeak. My height was never an issue with getting dates either. I loved going out with taller women if they were drop dead gorgeous And trust me every other guy in the room seeing me with a hot female did not feel like rubbing salt on a wound unless it was theirs !! I bet you are just jealous and likely wish you were dating a multimillionare actor. But I "m guessing Tom would look at you and turn his head the other way and start laughing. Tall or not I" m certain he can pick and choose which ever woman he wants. (Except maybe Deeley)" The film actor himself admitted that his height is only 5 feet and 6 inches. If this is translated into centimeters, it will turn out 165-167 cm. One of the actor's managers once blabbed that the actor's height is 1 meter 65 centimeters. For this he was immediately fired. 
These photos show Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman, whose height is 164-166cm (evening-morning). If we take into account that Tom Cruise put on shoes with a thicker insole and a larger heel than the opponent and remove this fact, then the difference between them in 3-4 cm will turn out to be 1-2 cm. bottom photo it is clearly seen that Tom Cruise is wearing special boots with a large heel and the ability to lay a large insole. It is not clear what Hoffman is wearing. 
To make it clear that only the heel of Tom Cruise's shoes adds at least 3 cm, not counting the inner insoles, look at the next photo without my outline. To enlarge the photo, right-click on the mouse and open in a new window. 
In total, we get that Tom Cruise's height of 170cm, 172cm or 175cm looks implausible if the actor, in order to look taller than a person whose height is 164-166cm, wears shoes on high heels... Tom Cruise's height: 166-168 cm Tom Cruise's weight: from 68-77 kg (this information is top secret for the Western press) In order to be above 1 meter 70 cm or higher, the film actor wears shoes on a high platform and special insoles for growth. Although many film actors who are taller than 170cm or 180cm sin her. : 160-170cm, K Nikolai Baskov height How tall is Nikolai Baskov? 
The Internet is replete with information that Baskov has a height of 174-178 cm. Personally, I don’t believe this. Just look at the photo where Nikolai Baskov is standing next to Sergey Lazarev, whose height is 176-178 cm. As we can see, the difference will be 8 centimeters. We look further. 
Evgeni Plushenko has a height of 176 cm (the difference between Bilan is huge, whose height is 180-182 cm) 
But there is also a difference of 6-8 centimeters between the skater and Baskov. Well, here we compared Baskov with a man whose height is exactly 176 cm. This is Boris Moiseev. http://rost-znamenitostey.org/2012/04/boris-moiseev-rost.html In this photo Igor Krutoy, whose height is about 176 cm and Basque. 
Baskov and Valery Leontiev, whose height is about 175 cm Well, to top it off. A super photo where people whose height is slightly higher than 170 cm gathered in one row. These are Anutin, Nikolaev and Baskov 
Next to Baskov, there is Valery Meladze, whose height is 181-183 cm. The difference between him and Baskov is half a head, and this is no longer 8 cm ... but much more. Nikolaev, whose height is about 170- 172 cm. We can’t take Agutin into account, he’s all shrunken .... In general ... Information that Nikolai Baskov’s height is 174,175,178 and above looks like extremely inflated figures for the growth of a celebrity. The final frame, which is undeniable. 
Talk about 178 cm or even 174 cm from Baskov is simply ridiculous .... Total, in our estimated opinion, we get. Nikolai Baskov height 168-170 cm (evening - morning): 160-170cm, B Arnold Schwarzenegger height Runet is full of information that the world famous Arnold Schwarzenegger has a height of 1 meter 88 centimeters. I also wondered if this is really so? To do this, I turned to Western sources, where my doubts were confirmed. 
Schwarzenegger's height was deliberately overestimated in the press and not only him. Moreover, this is not my speculation, an investigation of independent authoritative correspondents and eyewitnesses, including in the bodybuilding workshop. Real Growth Arnold Schwarzenegger is 178-180 m. This is evidenced by the English-language Wikipedia and an entire chapter is devoted to growth, where Arnold is exposed, and he responds to colleagues whose height is below 1.70 m. In addition, I will give one quote :"MICHAEL MINER, CHICAGO READER - In 1999 Jay Mathews wrote the article "The Shrinking Field" for the Washington Post on the often exaggerated heights claimed by male candidates for political office. "Sociologist Ralph Keyes has shown that men often claim to be taller than they are," he reported. "That goes double for celebrities. Men's Health magazine compared claimed heights to actual heights and discovered that Arnold Schwarzenegger was 5-10, not 6-2, that Charles Bronson was 5-7, not 5-11, and Burt Reynolds 5-8, not 5-11 ." 
The essence of this quote comes down to a journalistic investigation, which says that celebrities deliberately add extra centimeters to themselves in order to appear taller. Arnold Schwarzenegger height: 178-180 cm In his youth, Schwarzenegger's height is 180-182 cm plus high-heeled shoes, it is from here that the myth of 188 cm appeared, which still lives today, although the actor is already old and not the same as he was several decades ago Well, of course, compare the photo data of Arnold Schwarzenegger with people whose height is hardly a little higher than 1.7 and you will understand that all of the above is true. For example, Sylvester Stalone Has a height of 173-175 cm.

Baskov and Valery Leontiev, whose height is about 175 cm Well, to top it off. A super photo where people whose height is slightly higher than 170 cm gathered in one row. These are Anutin, Nikolaev and Baskov Next to Baskov, there is Valery Meladze, whose height is 181-183 cm. The difference between him and Baskov is half a head, and this is no longer 8 cm ... but much more. Nikolaev, whose height is about 170- 172 cm. We can’t take Agutin into account, he’s all shrunken .... In general ... Information that Nikolai Baskov’s height is 174,175,178 and above looks like extremely inflated figures for the growth of a celebrity. The final frame, which is undeniable. Talk about 178 cm or even 174 cm from Baskov is simply ridiculous .... Total, in our estimated opinion, we get. Nikolai Baskov height 168-170 cm (evening - morning): 160-170cm, B Arnold Schwarzenegger height Runet is full of information that the world famous Arnold Schwarzenegger has a height of 1 meter 88 centimeters. I also wondered if this is really so? To do this, I turned to Western sources, where my doubts were confirmed. Schwarzenegger's height was deliberately overestimated in the press and not only him. Moreover, this is not my speculation, an investigation of independent authoritative correspondents and eyewitnesses, including in the bodybuilding workshop. The real height of Arnold Schwarzenegger is 178-180 m. This is evidenced by the English-language Wikipedia and an entire chapter is devoted to growth, where Arnold is exposed, and he responds to colleagues whose height is below 1.70 m. In addition, I will give one quote :"MICHAEL MINER, CHICAGO READER - In 1999 Jay Mathews wrote the article "The Shrinking Field" for the Washington Post on the often exaggerated heights claimed by male candidates for political office. "Sociologist Ralph Keyes has shown that men often claim to be taller than they are," he reported. "That goes double for celebrities. Men's Health magazine compared claimed heights to actual heights and discovered that Arnold Schwarzenegger was 5-10, not 6-2, that Charles Bronson was 5-7, not 5-11, and Burt Reynolds 5-8, not 5-11 ." The essence of this quote comes down to a journalistic investigation, which says that celebrities deliberately add extra centimeters to themselves in order to appear taller. Arnold Schwarzenegger height: 178-180 cm In his youth, Schwarzenegger's height is 180-182 cm plus high-heeled shoes, it is from here that the myth of 188 cm appeared, which still lives today, although the actor is already old and not the same as he was several decades ago Well, of course, compare the photo data of Arnold Schwarzenegger with people whose height is hardly a little higher than 1.7 and you will understand that all of the above is true. For example, Sylvester Stalone Has a height of 173-175 cm. : 170-180cm, A, W Final post

Worldwide recognition in operatic light. World renowned teachers

The talent of the young performer could not but be appreciated by the opera prima Montserrat Caballe, Nikolai had the honor of being her student.
On July 13, 2002, the performance “Cleopatra” by Jules Massenet took place with resounding success, in which Nikolai Baskov performed a very complex part, for a long time they could not approve the artist for this role.

The Italian audience gave the Russian tenor a standing ovation, such recognition by discerning connoisseurs of opera is worth a lot!
Talented actor and TV presenter

- People's Artist of Moldova - 2007.
- People's Artist of the Russian Federation - 2009.
As mentioned earlier, this is only a small part of all the merits of the artist. His creative personality became crowded within the framework of vocals, Nikolai decided to discover new talents in himself.

As the biography of Nikolai Baskov testifies, his personal life has not yet developed. Maybe the reason lies precisely in the high employment in the world of show business. But such talented people they cannot live in peace and quiet, they need a stage, they need spectators. Native people should understand this and keep the fire in their loved ones.
Nikolai Baskov: biography, personal life, the birth of a son
The singer has always had a sea of fans, and of different ages. Schoolgirls, their mothers and even grandmothers are delighted with his singing and appearance. In the winter of 2001, on January 27, a "black" day came for them - their idol got married! His chosen one was Svetlana Shpigel, the daughter of the producer. The bride at that time was 19 years old, and the groom - 20.
For quite a long time, the young couple did not want to have children, but five years later, in 2006, Svetlana nevertheless decided and gave birth to her husband's son, who was named nice name Bronislav. The newly-made grandfather, producer Boris Shpigel, was incredibly happy with the successor of the family and insisted that the child have a double surname - Shpigel-Baskov. Young happy father did not argue with the father-in-law.
However, the famous singer was not lucky enough to bask near the family hearth for long. As the biography of Nikolai Baskov tells further, personal life after the birth of a child was difficult. Svetlana Spiegel was not satisfied with the role of the wife waiting for her husband from work. It turned out that Nikolai devoted most of his time to work: concerts, tours, filming on television ... A creative person could not live differently, Nikolai breathed art! In 2007, Baskov, with one suitcase in his hands, left the house where he was so happy. The artist moved to a rented apartment, in 2008 divorce papers were signed.
The ex-wife and ex-father-in-law insisted that, according to the documents, Baskov's son be Bronislav Spiegel, the father's surname was simply removed. Moreover, Nikolai was forbidden to meet with the child, it was very hard to endure. The artist went into depression, he even had to turn to psychologists. emotional people It's always hard to get through a breakup in a relationship. But life goes on, the "Golden Voice of Russia" returned to its fans, the stage and the auditorium became its cure for longing.
Oksana Fedorova
Not only the stage and the audience brought Nikolai back to life after a divorce. Considerable merit in this belongs to Oksana Fedorova. This beautiful girl made the singer smile again, a relationship arose between the young people, which grew into a deep feeling. Ill-wishers and envious people claimed that there was no smell of love in this couple, that this was just PR, an opportunity to draw attention to themselves. But how can such creative personalities not have a real feeling? Unfortunately, there are many evil tongues in the world.
On song contest in New Wave Jurmala, happy Nikolai proposed to Oksana, but by the end of that year the couple broke up, stating in public that their creative union had not broken up, they were simply not ready to be together. Well, life is life, in it meetings are replaced by partings, the main thing is that good memories remain, without hatred and lies. Nikolai Baskov and Oksana Fedorova parted kindly, they do not feel like enemies.
Romance with Anastasia Volochkova
Later in the life of Baskov, the famous ballerina Anastasia Volochkova appeared. An opera star and a ballet star - the union of such two world-class talents could not go unnoticed, given that the lovers did not hide their relationship at all, appeared in public everywhere together and posted their candid photos on social networks.
The “well-wishers” of Nastya and Nikolai again stated that this was a publicity stunt, that such individuals simply cannot love anyone but themselves, but does anyone have the right to weigh the feelings of other people on the scales of cynicism?
Baskov and Volochkova love to be in the center of attention, they like to listen to compliments, they had a good time together, but it didn’t come to marriage. The singer and the ballerina parted as friends, the passion of two hearts subsided, pleasant memories remained. Neither he nor she suffered from this gap.
Sofia Kalcheva - the new love of the great tenor
When, after an affair with Anastasia Baskov, he appeared in public with a charming companion, Russian show business there were rumors that the girl was simply using the singer to make her way to fame. But she is so beautiful and elegant, they complement each other so harmoniously that I don’t want to believe any gossip. It's just that Nikolai Baskov fell in love, and it may well be that this time the matter will end at the altar.
The beloved of the famous tenor is the singer Sofia Kalcheva, the stage name of the girl is Sofia Bogdan. Women do not like to talk about their age, even the ubiquitous reporters cannot say exactly how old Sofia is. According to some sources - 28, and according to others - as many as 34. One thing is known for sure: the chosen one of Nikolai has a son, Bogdan, but it was not possible to find out who the boy's father is. Maybe this is fate, and the Basques will finally decide to start a family again.
An interesting person Nikolay Baskov! The biography presented in this article has revealed to readers many episodes from his life, but there is something else interesting.
