Larisa Aleksandrovna Dolina was born on September 10, 1955 in Baku under the surname Kudelman. Larisa does not hide her Jewish nationality, but later, for the sake of euphony, she took her mother's maiden name as a pseudonym.

The girl's father, Alexander Markovich, worked as a builder, and her mother, Galina Izrailevna, was a typist. When my daughter was three years old, the family moved to Odessa, where her parents are from. In Odessa, they lived for about three years in a cramped communal apartment, often recalling a luxurious Baku house.

At the age of 6, Larisa was sent to a music school in the cello class. Since then, she alternately dreamed about a career as a singer, then about working as a translator. Parents encouraged their daughter's craving for music, but they were also engaged in her general education. She attended foreign language courses, loved English.

The singer's creative biography began very early, as a child. The artist decided on her future at the age of 12, when she first appeared on stage in a pioneer camp. Dolina sang with the vocal-instrumental ensemble "Magellans", and the performance was a success. At first she was offered to dance with the collective, and then with another ensemble, while still a schoolgirl, she began to sing in restaurants.

In the 9th grade, Larisa Dolina went through a series of auditions, and the young singer was taken to the "Volna" ensemble. The girl even had to graduate from school as an external student in order to be able to engage in creativity.

In 1973, Larisa Dolina parted ways with the ensemble and worked in a restaurant at the Black Sea Hotel. She becomes popular both in Odessa and abroad. Celebrities who come to the city go to the restaurant to listen to the Valley. After some time, she received an offer to sing in the Yerevan vocal-instrumental ensemble "Armina". Parents are against, but the singer decides to leave.

The four years spent in Armenia were difficult for the artist. The girl saw life in all its diversity, she had to go through periods of lack of money, to face situations when there was simply nowhere to wait for help. But the reward for the difficulties was an invitation to the State Pop Orchestra of Armenia under the direction of Konstantin Orbelian.

Later there will be in her life the State Pop Ensemble of Azerbaijan, the Sovremennik orchestra under the direction of A. Kroll.

The title of the album consisted of the titles of the two title tracks of the disc "Goodbye" and "Goodbye", the album also included the songs "Angel", "Jealous of me" and others. The video clip for the hit "Restaurant" gained popularity among the public due to the cast - the chef of the establishment was brilliantly played by Alexander Pankratov-Cherny.

The singer's talent is enough for everything and everyone. Larisa Dolina participates in television projects as a jury and as a contestant. So, in the program "People's Artist" she helped to appear new names in show business. And in 2013 the singer herself became the winner of the show "Universal Artist".

On September 1, 2016, Larisa Dolina took office as head of the department of pop and jazz singing at the Moscow State Institute of Culture. The singer's teaching career was less successful than her musical one. The latest news about the work of the Dolina-head of the department consists of high-profile scandals. The star reacted negatively to correspondence education and promised to soon remove this opportunity. At the very first exam, Larisa expelled a third of the correspondence students.

Students are sure that study makes sense if the curator of the group is friends with the singer, otherwise they will be "unsuccessful" in the exams.

In May 2017, the media reported that a strict teacher brought the student to a nervous breakdown. After the exam at the Valley, the young singer Irina Sych developed intercostal neuralgia.

In the marriage, a daughter, Angelina, was born, but the couple broke up. Larisa sees the reasons in the ex-spouse's addiction to alcohol and misunderstanding of each other. A more successful woman at that time was difficult to experience her husband's jealousy, but, according to her, she could no longer endure open envy.

With the guitarist Viktor Mityazov Larisa Dolina, taught by bitter experience, lived in a civil marriage for a long time. But the personal life of the musicians did not work out. The culprit was the artist's stormy romance with the third chosen one.

The singer signed with the bass-guitarist Ilya Spitsyn at the registry office. Ilya at the time of their acquaintance was married, he had a little son growing up. In addition, the age difference of 13 years did not allow Dolina to take the musician's courtship seriously. However, Spitsyn won the singer's hand and heart. But during the marriage, joint children in the musical family did not appear.

In 2011, Larisa Dolina became a grandmother. The singer's daughter from her first marriage, Angelina, gave birth to Larisa's granddaughter, Alexandra. Despite the title of grandmother, the artist looks great - with a height of 169 cm, she weighs moderately. Fans are sure that the Valley is on a special diet, and journalists often ask the star to reveal the secret of such a figure. The singer herself says that the feeling of happiness makes a woman beautiful. This is her main secret of youth.

Besides, Larisa is always busy, she travels and loves hiking in the mountains. In 2015, Dolina registered on Instagram, where she began to share travel photos and scenic shots with subscribers, but the page was subsequently removed.

In 2017, there were changes in the relationship between Larisa Dolina and Ilya Spitsyn - the couple broke up. The artist chose not to advertise this news, but reporters noticed that the singer appears alone at all social events. Later it became known that Ilya had a new family where the child was growing up. Larisa Alexandrovna did not burn the bridges, but continued business cooperation with Ilya. Spitsyn is still in charge of her commercial affairs.

In 2018, Larisa Dolina became a guest at the celebrations in honor of the 80th birthday of the songwriter Ilya Reznik, with whom she has been collaborating almost from the first years of her creative career. The artist prepared a musical gift for another friend - Vyacheslav Zaitsev, who also celebrated his anniversary.

The series of festive dates was complemented by a creative evening of the People's Artist of Russia Oleg Ivanov, which took place in the State Kremlin Palace. At this concert, the Valley performed the musical composition "Bitter Honey".

In the fall of 2018, the artist celebrated her 63rd birthday in the studio of Andrei Malakhov, on the air of the program "Hello, Andrei!" The guests of the program were Alla Surikova, Alexander Buinov, Karen Shakhnazarov, Vyacheslav Fetisov with his wife and others.
