- I like what is happening to me! - admitted. - After all, now I have become... kinder. How good is that!
If the former producer of the Tatu group had said this just two years ago, they would not have believed him. After all, this man then admitted:
- I personally prefer young ones! Did I sleep with Yuley And Katya? I do not remember!..
And here's what the socialite said: Ivan Frolov, nicknamed Irbis:
- Me Shapovalov seduced at the age of 15. I lived with him more than a year. At all Vania fucked everything that moved. At home he had orgies - just Sodom and Gomorrah! He himself was always drunk or in a stupefied state!
According to friends, the scandalous producer allegedly used cocaine and tried to get not only his mistresses and lovers, but even “tattoos” hooked on this drug.
Abandoned wife went through all the hospitals with him
But last summer Shapovalov diagnosed with brain cancer. And the terrible illness made the producer think about the wasted years.
On the forehead Shapovalova a huge lump grew. She pressed on her eyes. Doctors prescribed a course of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. But the forecast was disappointing:
- We did everything we could. There are very few chances. More likely, Ivan I have no more than three months left to live...
But now... a year and a half has passed! All that was left of the tumor on his head was a small bump. A month ago, a 47-year-old Shapovalov came to the party without crutches and a hat, which until recently hid his bald spot! The producer looked healthy and full of energy. And he promised:
— Soon I will sing and record a song: “My love is walking somewhere”...
He was helped to fight the disease by... his long-abandoned wife Valeria and two sons - 25 years old Vladimir and 10 year old Vania.
“Shapovalov’s wife remained alone all his life - Valeria Prokopyevna,” confirms Ivan Irbis. “It was she who “went through” all the hospitals and procedures with her husband!
- Lord, how could it be otherwise? - sighs Lera. - It’s closer Vani and I have no children! And so does he! Yes, I was with him all the time, I was sophisticated, I adjusted my work schedule. I didn’t even mention a vacation - we needed to live on something! I cried, prayed and believed that God would help! A Vanechka I read all the fairy tales to my dad in the intensive care unit... And then I told jokes when my husband was transferred to the general ward... Every return Ivana going home from the clinic turned into a holiday!
— It’s a pity that the youngest, blue-eyed daughter Umochka“I can hardly see,” the showman complained. - She would give me even more strength!
Nine years ago, Uma was given birth to the producer of Tatu by his mistress Olga Maslikhova.
— This red-haired beauty was from Shapovalova crazy,” recalls Irbis. — And fought with other contenders for a place under Vanya! Somehow Olga, who was already on last month pregnancy, with a wild yell she burst into Shapovalov into the room, but at that time he was having fun with someone, and ordered the security Maslikhov drive away.
It's no wonder that since then only daughter the producer was allowed to see once every six months!
God's gift and horses
However, Maslikhova Shapovalov not vinyl. He stopped feeling negative towards people altogether. The terrible sinner suddenly discovered... real life!
“Yes, cancer became for me... a gift from God,” the producer admitted. — The disease taught me to appreciate simple earthly joys: delicious tea, black bread, music, nature. And the people around me with their pros and cons, help, pain and joy... For example, the “tattoo” girls visited me. How happy it was to see them! And my attitude towards the world changed... horses. I am now an avid rider! I love interacting with horses so much! These animals helped me become more tolerant and kinder. And with such a worldview it became very good to live. I was able to forget about my illness!..
And this is his salvation. If not physical, then mental - absolutely...

Composer Alexander Voitinsky slept with both soloists of the duet
%photo.right%
It all started when I was 17 years old - told Mr. Galoyan . - I played guitar in an alternative band" Noyce". And at the same time I wrote music at home on an old 486 computer. Then I began to offer my material to different studios, including the studio Vladimir Osinsky. At the same time, the producer came there" Tattoo" Ivan Shapovalov, who was trying to push his group somewhere. They had two songs Alexander Voitinsky "Why me?" And "Count to One Hundred" in the original, to no one the desired option. Osinsky gave Shapovalov my material, and he made an appointment with me. Seeing the pimply boy in front of him, Shapovalov arrogantly gave me the original lyrics of the song " I'm crazy", of which now only the chorus remains, and with pathos he said: " Boy! Please make me look like Britney Spears". I didn’t like the fact that I had to pretend to be someone. But I made two versions of the arrangement of “I’m Crazy.” In principle, we discussed prices. I hoped to receive $1,200 for each song (in total I wrote for “Tatu” there are five of them). Since it was impossible to work on my equipment, in the summer they bought me a computer for $1200. And, apparently, they decided that I didn’t need to pay anything else. In addition, I made a bunch of arrangements, for which I also received nothing. My name They didn't even put it on the album cover.

Shapovalov demanded that he be my co-author. Allegedly, if his name is next to mine, it will help me in the future as a composer. I actually made Vanya a career. By the way, composer Alexander Voitinsky eventually also refused to work with Shapovalov. He is an older man and said that he does not want to write songs for lesbians. At first, there was no lesbianism anywhere near Tatu. At first there was only one soloist - Lena Katina. Then they added to it Yulia Volkova. Voitinsky slept with both of them. And when they came up with this lesbian feature, he thought it was too much. The last straw for him was the fact that Shapovalov stole a piece of music from him and inserted it into the song “I've lost my mind.”

When I wrote the song" Gay boy", Shapovalov again gave me a contract, according to which he was listed as a co-author. Out of despair, I signed it and said: " Vania! Someday we will deal with you in court". Shapovalov just laughed in response. After that, I never called him or saw him again. It was February 2001. Soon my business went uphill. I found girl singers to create my own group. I found a person from the company " Technical bunker"under the President of Russia, who agreed to finance my project. We signed a contract for $150,000. Of this money, I was supposed to receive 10 percent as the producer of the project and $1,500 for each of my songs. And at that moment the Tatu album was released. The person who was going to finance me immediately shoved their album cover in my face: " Seryozha! It says here that you are some kind of Armenian bandit and almost a terrorist. That's why we won't give you money. Maybe all this is not true, but, sorry, we value our reputation". I was given a letter about the official termination of the contract. After that, I fell into depression. And the NAAP author agency simply told me : "That's it! You are no longer the songwriter of Tatu! Apparently they didn't want problems with the record company" Universal", which releases "Tatu". I realized that with the inscription on the cover of the album Shapovalov took revenge on me for my revealing speech on the channel STS in a programme " Show Business", where I told about all his machinations. In general, my world was shattered. And then a lawyer appeared on the horizon Vyacheslav Shebitsky. He agreed to help me for 50 percent of the money I won. We filed a lawsuit against Shapovalov's production company" Non-format" and also on " Universal Music"and to the company" Music Trade", which distributes discs and tapes of Tatu. Co-producer of Tatu Lena Kiper started to scare us: "When I worked for NTV, I ruined the largest tobacco company. You will also lose the trial." My lawyer had to cleverly prove that Tatu discs and cassettes were sold in large quantities. In particular, he went to Music Trade and entered into a fictitious contract with them for the supply of 60,000 units of audio products.

As a result, the judge agreed that the information published on the album cover without my consent was defamatory, and granted almost all points of the claim. The only thing is that we demanded 500,000 rubles for moral damage, but she awarded only 20,000.
“We don’t intend to stop there,” Mr. Galoyan’s lawyer shared his plans Vyacheslav Shchebitsky. - Contrary to the law, the children were given too lenient punishment. We are now filing a cassation appeal against the decision of the court of first instance to the Moscow City Court. And after its revision we will file a copyright claim.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be impossible to find out what Tatu producer Ivan Shapovalov thinks about all this. His office staff reported that he had been on a business trip to the United States for several months. Instead, co-producer of the project Elena KIPER took over to comment on the situation.
The boy’s stories about how he was scammed and abandoned are very similar to the truth, - she admitted cynically. - In principle, this is often done in show business. But not in this case. Ivan Shapovalov has too big ambitions. They can only be realized if they have an impeccable reputation. All work was paid to them in full. Shapovalov took a risk and entrusted the boy with writing songs for a project for which a lot of money was borrowed. Provided him with working conditions, providing him with a computer and a small home studio. At the same time, Galoyan only made sketches of songs. They were very dirty and had bad sound. And the creativity of the songs - melodies, harmony - was initially given to him by Ivan. Therefore, he is quite legitimately a co-author. Finally, Galoyan himself voluntarily signed an agreement with him on the transfer of exclusive rights to songs. Of course, there was no talk of a $1,200 reward. Galoyan was paid the same as all arrangers without a name are paid, and very well. She and her lawyer have already thoroughly tarnished their reputation by bringing some kind of fake agreement, which the court declared invalid. They want to get Tatu concerts banned, and then try to catch us in violation and demand a fine. Well, let's be like in the movie" Bandits", perform unauthorized performances on the roofs of houses or right on the street. It's even funny...
In history Russian show business There are many producers who have become famous for their projects. At one time, almost every resident of the country knew the name of Ivan Shapovalov. But few people know how he created the most scandalous group and what happened in his personal life after its breakup.
Biography of Ivan Shapovalov
Born on May 28, 1966 in the family of an artist and a physics teacher. A small psychiatric hospital in the city of Balakovo could become his permanent place work. After school, Ivan graduated from a physics and mathematics school by correspondence, but decided to continue his studies at the Saratov Medical Institute. For two years he worked diligently in his specialty and helped children overcome illnesses with the help of psychocorrectional practice. In 1992 he created a formation service public opinion"Context".
It was then that Ivan Shapovalov realized that he had every chance of becoming a successful advertising agent. For the next two years he worked in the marketing department of the Slavia company, and in 1994 he began writing scripts for commercials. Several successful campaigns brought him not only initial capital, but also useful acquaintances. In 1998, while doing advertising for the OST company, he notices Lena Katina. A bright and vocal girl attracted his attention, but Ivan remembered her after meeting Elena Kiper. Shapovalov decides to promote new star and collects musical material.
Failure
Lena Katina passed the casting and began recording songs. But the project didn't take off. The reason for the failure was an unsuccessful selection of material. Although the song “Yugoslavia” was relevant, it sounded a little strange when sung by a 14-year-old girl. Ivan left original idea and decided to make a group. Failure did not stop him - he understood in which direction to move further.
t.A.T.u.
The second soloist was Yulia Volkova. Together with Lena they sang in the group “Fidgets”. Taught by bitter experience, he already knows that popularity can only be achieved by causing resonance. He bets on two schoolgirls who are in love with each other. Elena Kiper writes the lyrics to the legendary song “I've lost my mind,” and the music for it was composed by Sergei Galoyan. At that time, the young composer was only 17 years old. The song quickly became popular, but a video was waiting for the country ahead. Ivan knew exactly where the line between vulgarity and reasonable eroticism was. There are no explicit scenes in the video - just a rather innocent kiss between two girls.
Success
After the video hit television, the name of Tatu producer Ivan Shapovalov was discussed by everyone. Colleagues congratulated him on his resounding success, and ordinary people accused him of distributing child pornography and almost pedophilia. But the producer had no time for idle gossip - his brainchild required development. At this time, he signed a contract with Universal Music, following which he was supposed to release three albums. He was not going to give up on the idea of presenting girls as minor lesbians. The next song, “They Won’t Catch Up with Us,” made the group popular far beyond Russia.
Abroad will help us
Ivan quickly calculated what kind of income the popularity of schoolgirls abroad could result in. The song "I've lost my mind" was performed on English language and instantly took leading positions in most European charts. Before this, there were no stars in Russia who had such wild success in the West. Foreign tours made both the producer and the girls rich. But if in Russia young lesbians became a symbol of free love, then Europe perceived their work from a different perspective. High-quality texts and dynamic music were of much more interest than the subtext inserted by Ivan Shapovalov.
Breakthrough
The big surprise for the producer was stunning success his project in China. Girls in school uniform became not just popular - they had fan clubs numbering several million people. Tours in the Middle Kingdom became the most profitable and longest in the history of the group. Lena and Katya were literally exhausted from their busy schedule. For three years they traveled all over the world and felt like real celebrities.
East is a delicate matter
Photos of Ivan Shapovalov never left the pages of magazines and newspapers. He never tired of provoking and shocking society. His idea to shoot a video on Red Square caused a big stir. Of course, he was quickly banned from engaging in such provocation, but he achieved the desired effect. Having conquered China, he turned his attention to Japan. Manga lovers simply had to love “tattoos”. The girls were greeted by a large crowd of fans. But a day later, Japan had already changed its attitude towards young lesbians.
The girls came on television to talk about themselves and their work. During the interview, they did not like the presenter’s question, and they demonstratively left the studio. The Japanese did not forgive the stars for such behavior. The concert halls were half full, and Ivan Shapovalov’s impudent behavior completely put an end to all hopes. He behaved defiantly with advertisers, and the demands he made on concert organizers were simply unrealistic.
Year of triumph
Before the country had time to digest Shapovalov’s statement that the “tattoos” would run for president, it was time to think about Eurovision. This is not only a prestigious competition, but also a big step in the career of any performer. 2003 was a very successful year for the group - all of Europe was singing their songs. When sending the girls to the competition, no one doubted that they would win. Therefore, Ivan Shapovalov did not strain himself too much. The strange song, and even in Russian, was a pure formality. But Europe did not appreciate the composition and its poor performance. Until this moment, the girls had never sung live, and they were simply too lazy to rehearse. A big name should have ensured victory. Third place and the highest scores only from his neighbors brought Shapovalov back to earth from heaven - no one is interested in singers with an incomprehensible repertoire and poor performance.
Celestial Empire
In 2004, the group's popularity was rapidly declining. A creative producer decides to launch a reality show at the Beijing Hotel. In front of the audience, the girls will record a new album. However, already the first episodes showed that the mood in the team is not the best. Julia lost her voice and couldn’t sing, but in almost all the songs she had to scream. She flatly refuses to continue working and shows the doctor's report.
Along the way, the girls talk a lot about their lives, destroying the carefully created legend of Ivan Shapovalov. The last episodes were already on the verge of a foul - Julia reports about abortions and affairs with men, the producer is looking for new stars. This was the end of the collaboration. After such revelations, you should no longer count on audience loyalty. In one moment, a popular group becomes history. It is noteworthy that Ivan Shapovalov himself did not talk about his personal life.
New projects
After termination of the contract with Yulia and Lena famous producer looking for a new idea. The year was 2004. The world still remembered the fall of the towers in New York, and Russia itself did not have time to heal its wounds after the terrorist attacks. It’s at this very time that Ivan brings to the stage new singer Nato. Her stage image causes indignation - the suicide bomber's outfit does not make one want to buy a ticket to her performance. Strong voice and good songs don't help. The project fails. Abroad, no one is waiting for Shapovalov - there such an image only causes rejection.
The following projects were not much more successful - now no one will even remember such pseudonyms as Helya and Nano Project. New idea filming a reality show on an icebreaker remains unrealized. In 2007-2012, Shapovalov’s name practically does not appear in the press. Nobody knows what this guy does talented person.
Disease
Only thanks to Yulia Volkova did the country learn about terrible diagnosis producer. The tumor in the brain grew while Ivan himself sat at home and did not take any action. The girl, having learned about the former producer’s illness, came and forcibly took him to the hospital. Fortunately, no time was lost, and the doctors began treatment. Chemotherapy courses had a positive effect, and now Ivan Shapovalov is completely healthy. Many perceived the producer's diagnosis as punishment for his sins. He used too many provocative techniques to achieve his goals.
Almost from the first day until the collapse of the group t.A.T.u. he was accused of promoting same-sex love, terrorism, and even pedophilia. Other producers believe that Ivan Shapovalov himself prevented the group from reaching the top and earning hundreds of millions of dollars. Where would the girls be now if he had not deliberately created scandals around them? The star producer did not want to make concessions and behaved like the king of the world. That's why they refused to work with him large companies with a worldwide reputation.
Family
The producer never advertised his personal life. He has a wife Valeria and two sons. The youngest is also called Ivan. The wife works as a pediatrician in a children's clinic. Shapovalov does not like to talk about his illness, but the main reason for his refusal of treatment was money. The producer simply did not have the funds for expensive procedures. Where did the multi-million dollar fortune disappear in 10 years? A charity concert and fundraising event helped him pay for his treatment. If Yulia Volkova, who herself had overcome a tumor in her throat, had not started ringing all the bells, then it is unknown how this matter would have ended. The wife says in an interview that she cried all night long, but could not do anything. The support of friends and family helped put Ivan on his feet.
Despite the fact that Tina Kandelaki now occupies a high position on television, she fondly remembers the program “Details,” which she once hosted at the dawn of her career. dizzying career. “The “Details” program made me the host. Without it, no Tina Kandelaki would have existed. The moment of the steepest professional growth. The interview genre endlessly develops a person...” noted Kandelaki.
ON THIS TOPIC
Tina completed her work on the program because she “talked to everyone.” However, there were also frankly disastrous conversations in her life. This happened with the producer of the Tatu group, Ivan Shapovalov. What added piquancy to the conversation was the fact that the man was not entirely sober.
According to Kandelaki, she realized from the very beginning that the conversation would not work. “Unlike my mother, I am not a drug addiction specialist. But it would be clear to anyone there. When talking to a person, you will immediately feel whether he drank a glass or five? At the same time, Ivan had a well-thought-out image - such an infant terrible from the East. Hefty layer of Russian pop culture did not have the slightest chance of export. Suddenly, absolutely world-class content appears! In demand on any American show! I remember a funny fragment - girls are driving in a car. It seems Van Damme wants to meet them. Yulia Volkova says: “Van Damm... What about Van Damme? What should we do with him?” “What, what... Meet him!” They themselves did not expect this phenomenal fame,” Tina noted.
Kandelaki didn’t even try to save the interview. She explained why: “Yes, watching his agony on air is much more interesting! You watch and understand that such a condition kills.”
According to Tina, there are six ways to cast your interlocutor in an unpleasant light, but this is not for her. "Vanya is like that... How can I tell you... He was way ahead of his time. There were no hashtags yet, but Vanya was already thinking in trends, memes. This is just an American script about a person who achieved quick success! With morality - if God gave talent, then he can take it away. Because in the future Shapovalov had nothing. The breakthrough with “Tatu” was, yes, phenomenal. Never before had Russian pop music interested anyone in the West. After that, too,” Kandelaki was quoted as saying by “Sport.” -Express".

Ivan Nikolaevich Shapovalov- Russian music producer, gained greatest fame thanks to musical project"t.A.T.u."
Biography
Ivan was born on May 28, 1966 in the Volgograd region (the city of Kotovo). His mother, Nadezhda Richardovna, worked as a physics teacher. Dad, Nikolai Alexandrovich was an artist. Rather, thanks to the influence of his mother, Ivan studied at a school with a physics and mathematics focus. After school, I chose a medical field and studied at the Saratov Medical Institute, specializing in psychiatry. After university I worked in a nursery psychiatric hospital, at the same time he conducted a private practice in the field of psychocorrection of children. Early he married his classmate Valeria and gave birth to a son, Vladimir. Until a certain period, Ivan was a model citizen, like many, a cog in a large social system. Then began the gradual transformation of an ordinary provincial doctor into something else, sometimes not always understandable to the average person.
Changing the course of life
In 1992, Ivan decides to change his life radically. He leaves medicine and founds the PR organization “Context Public Opinion Formation Service.” During gubernatorial elections there was quite an increased demand for the company's services.
For the next two years, Shapovalov works at the Slavia insurance company and pension fund"Russian capital". In both companies, Ivan is involved in marketing and advertising campaigns. A little later he is transferred to work in Moscow branches of companies. At that time he met the composer Voitinsky.
Since 1994, Ivan has been trying himself as a screenwriter for commercials. The topic of advertising and television was then just gaining momentum.
In 1996, he made a landmark for himself ads for the computer company R&K. One of the founders of the company later acted as a sponsor and co-producer of Tatu. Another commercial gave me the opportunity to meet the girl Lena Katina, who voiced the video. A little later, on the set, Ivan collaborates with NTV journalist Elena Kiper, who became a full co-producer of the project. The pieces of the mosaic fit together into a whole.
Project "t.A.T.u."
The first casting for the role of soloist was won by Lena Katina. The year was 1999. Voitinsky records two songs with Lena: “I am your enemy” and “Yugoslavia”. The composer and producer had the feeling that one singer would not be enough and a second girl was added to the group - Yulia Volkova.
In 2001, joint hard work finally produced tangible results - the album “200 in the opposite direction” was released. In May of the same year, Shapovalov signed a contract with the famous label “Universal Music”. The contract was not as simple as it might seem: it obligated Ivan to release three albums and forbade him to change the composition of the group.
The group is gaining popularity. In 2002/2003, a lot of concerts were planned, an English version of the first album was released, and a world tour was launched.
In 2004, as part of the same advertising campaign, the show “Tattoo in the Celestial Empire” was launched on the STS TV channel. An office was rented, all the demo versions of the songs for the new album were accepted, but the show was never launched. Ivan Shapovalov resigned as producer and actually gave the brand to Tatu. In October 2004, Ivan Shapovalov received a medal for the composition “All the things she said,” of which he was a co-author. The song was played on air more than 2 million times.
New projects
After the success of Tatu, Ivan wanted to do something equally explosive and grandiose. He takes on several projects, but these projects are various reasons could not be implemented. These are singer Nato in 2004, rock group “7B”, singer Helya and Nano-project.
There was even an idea to film a reality show on an icebreaker during a trip to the North Pole.
Disease
Completely unexpected for Ivan in 2012 was the realization that he had been diagnosed with brain cancer. At first, he categorically refused to believe that something could be wrong with him, and tried to be treated by shamans and psychics. Help was provided by his former ward, Yulia Volkova. She convinced Ivan to undergo diagnostics at a modern medical center and even brought him herself. A course of chemotherapy was prescribed and a survival period of two months was indicated. Friends, doctors, and especially the media unanimously buried Ivan. Only the closest friends and family remained. They announced a fundraiser for treatment and, in fact, snatched Shapovalov from the hands of death.
On this moment Ivan lives and works in China. He returned to show business, though not as a producer, but as a singer. Recording his new album.
