Bojia Korovka

The "Ladybug" group is a perky collective on the Russian stage, the style of which even experts found it difficult to define. Fans liked the dance melodies and poems that "the soul sings for joy, beckons and calls somewhere."

The biography of "Ladybug", or, as the musicians write about themselves, "BK", dates back to 1988. Now the group includes the spouses Vladimir Volenko and Natalya Poleshchuk, performing under the “sweet” pseudonym Shokoladkina, guitarist Nikolai Kanishchev and drummer Oleg Fedotov. And for all the time of its existence, almost two dozen people have worked in the team.

The soloist was Stepan Razin, brother of Svetlana Razina, a member of the Mirage. He left, taking up the production of the singer Karolina (Tatiana Tishinskaya). Volenko also played keyboards in Mirage for some time, as did the guitarist Nikolai Yurov.

Another BK member is Robert Lenz, whose track record includes the Bravo and Bakhyt Kompot groups. Before Natalia, female vocals were represented by Inna Anzorova, Lyudmila Rozhkova and Alena Horoshaylova, as well as former backing vocalist Marina Morozova. Over the years, Ivan Tkachev, Andrey Androsov and Vadim Havezon played guitars at concerts, Vladimir Gritsyk played saxophone. In 1997, the group was joined by multi-instrumentalist Ruslan Zatenchikov.

The place behind the drum set was periodically occupied by session drummer Sergei Demchenko, before him - a graduate of the Gnessin School, a member of the bands "Leisya, Song", "Autograph" and "Rock-Atelier" Sergei Krinitsyn. Krinitsyn then moved to the Blue Bird ensemble.

The hits "Teplokhod", "Granite Pebble", "Meeting with the Beloved Woman" were recorded with keyboardist and arranger Yan Brusilovsky, who later worked with Alexander Serov, Viktor Saltykov, Tekhnologiya and Karmen groups.

Volenko began to nurture the idea of ​​creating his own team back in the "Domirazh" period. Vladimir then gave preference to the unpopular genre of underground rock, admired the works of "Sounds of Mu" and "AuktsYon". In 1989, together with Viktor Rybin and his "Dune", the group recorded their first album, but it did not acquire a wide audience.

1994 was the second birthday of "Ladybug". Only now the band's sound was an explosive mixture of pop songs, folklore, chanson and rokopops.

All-Russian fame came to "Ladybug" after the broadcast of the television program "Star Rain", in which the group sang a song by an unknown author "Granite Pebble". The collective then for many years was associated with this composition. True, the accusation of plagiarism clouded the joy of success. Some of the listeners thought that the melody was reminiscent of "Road to Hell" performed by Chris Rea. Then the inhabitants of Yakutia said that the poems belonged to the reindeer breeder Andrei Gromov.

However, Volenko had something to answer to the claims. The British singer sounds the blues, and in "Kamushka" - "a specific approach theme and a purely urban mentality" that no tundra inhabitant would ever dream of.

In 1994, the group went on their first tour to Ulyanovsk. “Ladybug”, surprisingly, acted as the opening act for Kai Metov. As the soloist recalled, that year the streets of the city were full of insects of the same name.

Songs from the albums "My Queen" and "Fly to Heaven" are a synthesis of optimism, humor and a little banter. Volenko considered the designation of the band's style as "Cheburashka-rock" as the best compliment. Vladimir emphasized the invisible connection between music and image with his own suit - a red jacket with black peas.

In addition to happy or unhappy love, "BK" sang about the friendship of peoples, the beauty of the surrounding world, native land. In 1996, the first clips appeared - "Ladybug", "Fly to Heaven", "Berry-Malinka".

In 1997, the musicians began to collaborate with producer Iosif Prigozhin, together they released the album "Woman of Dreams", in which lyrics replaced parodies. "Meeting with the beloved woman", "There was little money" and other songs from the album became a new milestone in the history of the collective's development.

For 5 years "Ladybug" presented 9 clips to the audience, including "Serenade", romantic "Blue Evening", cartoon "I came home", tragicomic silent film "Ay, yes Pushkin!", "Anxiety", filmed in thriller genre.

The clip makers were Andrei Pastushny, now the producer of programs for the largest Russian TV channels and the head of his own television company, Oleg Pogodin, who later became the co-author of the films "Time of the First", "Escape" and worked with Alexander Marshal and Nikolai Noskov.

Leonid Azbel wrote another hit for the group "A motor ship up the Volga", Elena Vaenga - the songs "My most beloved" and "My heart".

In 2003, "Ladybug" covered Paul McCartney's song "Mrs Vanderbilt" and filmed a video in which cows dance with the performers. The video was named "Merry DJ", and among the fans it remained "Song about a cow".

As the legend says, at the end of filming, the car of the director and composer Nikolai Kropalov was dented and perforated with animal horns. Perhaps the cows did not like its red color. In addition, the artiodactyls badly spoiled the scenery and ate a dinner intended for the artists. By the way, Nikolai is the husband of the actress Oksana Kalyberda and the father of the actor Neil Kropalov, the stars of the youth TV series "Adult Games" and "Ranetki".

At the turn of the century, the creative duet of Vladimir and Natalia grew into a family one. Music faded into the background. As stated on the official website of "Ladybug":

The soloists had a daughter, Daria, and a son, Vladimir. Shokoladkina also raised her son Valentine from her first marriage. Nevertheless, the musicians reminded of themselves with the album "Born Again", surprising fans with Christian themes and choral singing.

In 2007, a new director came to the group, brought new ideas, and Volenko decided to make a breakthrough. He released a new album "Wings behind the Back" and held a presentation at one of the leading Moscow venues - the Mir Concert Hall on Tsvetnoy Boulevard.

Over time, "Ladybug" disappeared from television and radio broadcasts, but the group's life was now in full swing on the Internet. According to the soloist, there are no worthy music channels left, and the singers do not want to participate in clan concerts.

According to the dictates of the times, the "Ladybug" group, in addition to the site, acquired a Youtube channel and pages on social networks, where it talks in detail about everything related to the creative and partly personal life of the team members. New clips are also posted there.

For three decades of their concert and touring life, the musicians have not lost the ability to enjoy their work. The secret, according to Vladimir Volenko, is simple. Unhappy people are divided into two categories - those who like the job, but pay little for it, and those who can't stand their work, but hold on to it for the sake of salary. “Ladybug” is lucky in this regard - both the hobby is favorite, and they get money for it.

The band began 2018 with a concert "Disco of the 90s" in Bryansk, Barnaul and Vologda, then toured Belarus with an anniversary tour. For the New Year holiday, a remix of the hit "Money Give" was released, which "Ladybug" dedicated to the issue of new banknotes of the Bank of Russia in the amount of 200 and 2000 rubles and personally to Elvira Nabiullina.

With the video "Russian Honey" the collective once again confirmed the correctness of the conclusion of the critics of the 90s that "BK" is an environmental group:

For the 2018 FIFA World Cup "Ladybug" presented the video "Football", which contains fragments of the group's performances, football matches, the names of Lev Yashin, Andrei Arshavin, Alexander Kerzhakov are mentioned.
