Her mother is a religious person, she often could not find a common language with her daughter, she married a second time when she was still a schoolgirl. The girl had a younger brother and sister.

After graduating from high school, the graduate hurried to move to Moscow. She dreamed of a career as an actress and planned to enter VGIK, but failed, neither artistry nor ballet past helped her to enter. But in the capital, the girl took a sonorous pseudonym and met Ivan Shapovalov, the producer of the Tatu group. At the time, he was about to launch a reality show. Matilda carried out his small assignments, met famous musicians and made many useful contacts.

For some time, the girl worked as a reporter in a magazine, her duty was to cover secular news.

Later, Matilda decided to move to St. Petersburg. There she entered the SPbGTI (TU) at the Faculty of Biochemistry and for some time immersed herself in her studies.

The girl did not forget to have fun, at one of the parties a friend introduced her to musician Sergei Shnurov. He entrusted the girl with the management of his Blue Pushkin bar. Matilda did an excellent job with the duties of the manager, she was interested in the restaurant business.

In 2012 she opened her own restaurant called CoCoCo. The peculiarity of the institution is the presence of only Russian dishes on the menu. Matilda believes that in St. Petersburg there are already enough catering establishments specializing in any national cuisine, while native Russian dishes never lose their popularity.

The restaurant quickly gained an excellent reputation. Chef Igor Grishechkin helps Shnurov's wife Matilda to keep it at a high level. He is one of the best chefs in St. Petersburg.

The star does not like to stand at the stove, but demonstrates excellent managerial qualities. Her husband emphasizes that there is no merit in the popularity of CoCoCo, Matilda achieved everything on her own. Cords only helped design the restaurant's logo.

In 2010 the star opened the Isadora ballet school. Only experienced ballerinas work as teachers in it, both adults and children can attend classes. There are no restrictions on weight or build. "Isadora" invites everyone to master the art of ballet.

Matilda is indifferent to expensive jewelry, but it is important for her to be stylishly dressed. She considers her husband to be a great authority in matters of fashion.

The star often gives interviews and does not refuse to communicate with the media.

Personal life of Matilda Shnurova

According to the press, Matilda met for some time with the leader of the 7B group, Ivan Demyan. She also had a romantic relationship with Evgeny Tsyganov.

Later she met Sergei Shnurov. This happened shortly after his breakup with actress Oksana Akinshina. In 2010 the wedding took place.

Shnurov admits that his wife is his creative inspiration. After meeting her, he became more scrupulous about the selection of soloists for his group. Now Shnurov collaborates only with married singers, as he does not want to give his wife a reason for jealousy.

The star couple has not yet acquired joint children. Matilda says she's not ready to be a mother yet. Sergey and she travel a lot in Europe, but their permanent place of residence is St. Petersburg.

By the age of 30, Matilda Shnurova owns a restaurant with original author's cuisine, a ballet school that teaches prima ballerinas from leading theaters, and the heart of the most scandalous and provocative character in Russian show business, Sergei Shnurov. At the same time, Matilda was born in the small village of Losevo, Voronezh Region, in a far from the most prosperous family. But, like the fabulous Cinderella, this did not stop her from learning how to dance beautifully and find her prince.

Matilda's parents - Tatyana and Vladimir - divorced when she was only one and a half years old. Then the girl's name was Elena Mozgova, and nothing in her fate foreshadowed future triumphs. Tatyana's second husband, Vladimir Nagorny, took the family to the neighboring village of Livenka. Matilda probably remembers this wooden house near the asphalt road, as she lived in it already at a conscious age.

Like the school, now surrounded by a rusty fence and a badly neglected lawn. Here the girl received her primary education.

Together with her classmates in her free time, she played with dolls, but even then her character sometimes showed through her gentle habits: Matilda could hit back even the boys, and when the school bullies pinched her finger in the door, she didn’t shed a tear and knocked the offenders on the head with a briefcase.
According to one of her classmates, even as a child, Matilda loved risk, and therefore, when years later, residents of Livenka learned from the Internet that Lena Mozgovaya had run away to Moscow after school, they were not surprised.

I definitely wouldn't be able to. I have lived all my life in the village and I can not do otherwise. And Lena is well done for leaving. If I had stayed, I would have done nothing but sit with the children or wash the floors somewhere. There is no other future here, ”says Evgenia, who spent three years sitting at the same desk with a future celebrity.
Their general class was considered difficult: teachers constantly complained to parents about the ugly behavior of students. But Lena Mozgovaya enjoyed unquestioned authority among her peers.

The school principal recalls that the girl studied for triples, but notes that in the 90s grades were not so important and young people achieved success regardless of school performance.

At the same time, Lena's mother's relationship with her new husband cracked again. The marriage broke up four years later. But Matilda had a brother, Igor. - After Tatyana broke up with Nagorny, she abandoned her children, scattered them over her fathers and left. Lena lived either with her father or with her grandmother. In general, her mother left her, her father did not need her. Tatyana did not need anyone, she needed a city, she needed to show herself. In the end, Nagorny told her not to step on the threshold in Losevo, ”said Lyubov, the sister of Matilda’s stepfather.
The nearest major city to Livenka and Losev is Voronezh. It was there that Tatiana went. Even in Livenka, a woman began to sew clothes at home. Soon she had a new hobby - Matilda's mother became an adherent of religious teachings with Indian roots called Sahaja Yoga ( a teaching that states that each person has a subtle system inside himself, consisting of energy centers that are available for sensation after receiving self-realization through meditation. - Approx. ed.).
More than 15 years have passed since then, but she still lives in Voronezh. In a modest apartment on the first floor in a five-story building on the outskirts of the city, two mannequins meet us in the hallway - Tatyana sews clothes and Indian saris for overweight women, meditates twice a day, and also tries to "activate the kundalini energy and clear the chakras."

Tatyana often remembers her daughter and is happy to talk about her even to random clients. And it does not avoid even not the most pleasant details. True, according to her, the reason for parting with Matilda was not callousness at all, but a serious illness, the real cause of which was just the contaminated chakras. It was then, at the age of 36, that the woman became interested in yoga.

The professor said that such damage to the endocrine system could occur under the influence of radiation. The pituitary gland is a very serious thing. If it fails, then it cannot be restored. According to the laws of medicine, I do not exist, I am a phantom. But doctors are materialists. They do not understand what chakras and energy are. If they matched their knowledge with this, then now there would be no sick people at all. I was 36 years old, it was a very long time ago, and my daughter was 14. I had to educate her. And I sent her to my father for six months, because I physically could not do anything in terms of controlling her, ”Tatyana says, suddenly remembering that she had not turned off the gas, and hides in the back of the apartment.

Returning, Matilda's mother quickly jumps from the topic of her daughter to a more familiar one - about entering the sahasrara chakra, great initiates, the demonic nature of extrasensory perception and a human microcosm that contains the whole Universe.
And yet, in the end, these high matters again close on the daughter, who has "a car for 6 million."

I sent her to my father at the age of 14. But she returned to me six months later with tears: "Mom, please, I'll behave well ..." And she behaved well for two weeks. And then she ran away from me. She left and never returned, - adds Tatyana.

To the question of whether it has since been possible to restore relations with Matilda, the woman answers embarrassedly and uncertainly: “Why, we communicate,” but she cannot remember the last time she spoke with her daughter.
At the same time, the fate of many other relatives of Matilda was tragic. Her younger brother Igor from his mother's second marriage died at a young age in a car accident. Mother Tatyana practically did not take part in his upbringing, but nevertheless came to the funeral.

She asked the driver not to turn off the engine, stood for three minutes at Igor's coffin and left, - says the sister of Matilda's stepfather Lyubov.

The girl's stepfather and father also ended badly.

Nagorny drank, he drowned in the river while drunk, his son, by the way, also crashed in a car due to drunkenness, flew into the river. And Tatyana's brother hanged himself because of alcohol. Lena's (Matilda's) father, Vladimir Mozgovoy, died alone, - said the district police officer of the village of Losevo Valery.

Matilda is in no hurry to build relationships with the remaining relatives. In Voronezh, she has two half-sisters: Lily, who looks like two drops of water to Matilda, Polina, and also her brother Nikita. These are children from different marriages of their own father, Vladimir Mozgovoy. Currently, Polina lives with her mother and stepfather and will go to school in September. Lilya is also happy with her life and the modest salary of a makeup artist.

Lily met with Lena two or even three times. Lily told me this personally. Lena was rather wary, she is generally wary of everyone. This is natural: when a person has a position and money, such people usually do not need relatives, because relatives come to ask for something. Lena did not invite Lily home. And the next time, when Lilya came to St. Petersburg, Lena did not find an opportunity to meet her: there was no time, she says, - notes Matilda's uncle Sergei Mozgovoy.
However, Lily herself is accustomed to admiring her sister and definitely does not hold a grudge.

She is smart, she made herself. I have a lot to learn from her. She is a very kind and beautiful person,” the girl says.

But Nikita and Polina are not personally acquainted with Matilda. And the only thing that remains for the relatives of the socialite is to watch her from the TV screen and the covers of glossy magazines.

It’s just that her mother behaved in such a way that Lena did not feel support from her, but why is such a mother needed? Why is such a father needed, who also did not think much about her? And she didn’t know that there was someone in the family who treated her well, so she didn’t have a family, as such, ”says Matilda’s uncle Sergey Mozgovoy.

And yet, in the family, the famous relative is loved and proud of her fate. Even despite the fact that Cinderella, who became a princess, refused to add her relatives as friends on social networks. Yes, and there is no longer any Elena Mozgova, all the documents were reissued by the wife of the singer Cord . New destiny - new name and surname.

And the Brain family is also “warmed up” by a story read in magazines about how the sophisticated Matilda made the reckless St. Petersburg hooligan Shnur a secular intellectual. However, this is already from some other fairy tale.

First wife, 1992-1996

For the first time Sergey Shnurov became a father at the age of 20. But Seraphim's daughter was not a surprise: Shnurov decided to start a family with his classmate, whom he met at the Religious and Philosophical Institute at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy. Sergei Shnurov made an offer to Maria and for the sake of his wife and newborn daughter left both his studies and his passion for music. The young father worked as a loader, watchman, carpenter, but as soon as the grown daughter began to go to the garden, Shnurov returned to rehearsals: Sergei and his colleague Igor Vdovin had plans to create a hooligan group "Leningrad". The work of her husband Ismagilova categorically did not like, the student family broke up.

Serafima Shnurova is a student of the philological faculty of St. Petersburg State University. The artist's daughter has been living her own life for a long time, earning money by graphic design and photo retouching, and is fond of poetry. Sergei's relationship with her daughter was not always smooth: at first, her mother prevented her from communicating with her father because of his scandalous group, and then Serafima herself quarreled with the musician.

Second wife, 1999−2002

Marriage with his second wife also turned out to be short-lived, but productive for Shnurov as a musician. Kostitsyna was the music manager. She led the Pep-Ci group and took up the organization of Leningrad concerts. In 2000, Svetlana gave birth to the son of Apollo from Shnurov.

Shnur's most famous, scandalous and public novel. At the time of the meeting with Sergei, actress Akinshina was 15 years old! Cord - 30, and he was at the peak of his spree. Almost immediately, the artists gathered and started talking about the wedding, which, however, it never came to. Lovers liked to arrange loud quarrels more than to plan a wedding and children. As a result, the couple got an apartment in St. Petersburg and a dog, Pistka, who remained with Oksana.

Julia Kogan

Soloist of "Leningrad", 2007−2013

Kogan graduated from the Theater Academy, and also worked in the confectionery industry. The first helped her become a professional singer, the second taught her to express herself firmly and without hesitation - both skills were useful to the artist in the Leningrad group. Shnurov glorified the red-haired Yulia, and he also resigned her when she decided to engage in her own promotion. The musician did not like that Yulia agreed to become a talk show host on the Yu channel, and decided to part with her colleague. Now Julia is pursuing a solo career and raising her daughter Lisa.

Matilda Mozgovaya

“She came in, I was stunned. He asked: "Eh! What is your name?” She replied: “Matilda”. I said: “Oh ***”, - this is how Sergey Shnurov described his acquaintance with his third wife in an interview with Elle. Sergey and Matilda (real name - Elena) have been together for almost 10 years, six of which are married. Matilda is a restaurateur, and she also connected her husband to her business, now Shnurov and Mozgovaya manage the Ko-Ko-Ko restaurant in St. Petersburg. Under the influence of his wife, a former ballerina, Shnurov settled down, put his appearance in order and went in for sports.

Alice Vox

Soloist of "Leningrad", 2012−2016

Blonde Alice replaced the red-haired Kogan. Alice is 28 years old, and for 4 years of participating in the work of the group, she recorded such hits as “Patriot”, “37th”, “Crying and Crying”. But Vox's main hit, of course, is Exhibit. In the spring of 2016, the artist decided to start with a bold step and left the team: the singer will now perform solo.

Alice's unexpected departure from the group has already been overgrown with many rumors. So, according to gossip, the girl picked up a "star fever", which caused Shnurov's displeasure. But the director of "Leningrad" Denis Veiko stressed that Sergei did not quarrel with Alice.

“It has become difficult to work with a person, it happens. No one quarreled, these are working moments. Now Vasilisa and Florida are playing instead of Alice, ”Leningrad director Denis Veiko told Life78.

Vasilisa and Florida

Soloists of "Leningrad" since 2016

The fiery brunette and the curly-haired blonde performed with the band for the first time at a concert at the Stadium Live "Leningrad" Moscow club on March 24. What is known about Vasilisa is that for three years the girl, a professional singer, successfully performed at the New Wave competition. And Florida Chanturia graduated from the pop-jazz department of the St. Petersburg State Institute of Culture.

It's hard to believe these days that people have another life, except for the virtual one that takes place in social networks. Friends, watching my instagram, think that I travel endlessly. It’s not like that – it’s just that when I work in St. Petersburg, I don’t post almost anything, I don’t have time. Real life is always a little different.

We have officially completed the divorce process with Sergei Shnurov. While we were together, each of us ran our own business, and the division of the property was easy. I was in the Cococo restaurant. Sergei was an investor. The project paid off. Sergei stayed with Leningrad, I stayed with Kokoko. I also have a ballet studio "Isadora".

My surname also remains with me. Why do I need all this paperwork? Matilda is still Shnurova, despite the fact that she is no longer Shnurova. I made two statements that I considered sufficient. First, I am very grateful to the people for the support they suddenly gave me. To be honest, I didn't expect it. I still receive letters and messages with warm words from strangers. People feel something and are often not mistaken. I want to repeat: thank you for supporting me, but do not look for the guilty. Second: do not try to interpret our divorce from Sergei Shnurov, because even I do not undertake to do this: life is very complex, multi-layered, and give an unambiguous answer to the question “what happened?” I can't. Maybe someday I'll write a book. I'm kidding, of course. The love story is over. I think that behind this parting, which we will survive, something positive will definitely happen. Won Sergei began to run marathons. It's great.

We lived together for eleven years And, of course, we changed each other in some ways. And in a positive way. We went through different stages together. Living together with Sergey Shnurov is an experience of spiritual growth and self-knowledge, a test of humility and patience, unconditional love. We “pumped” this skill - we learned to love unconditionally. True, I think if Sergei reads such lines, he will be indignant.

After a divorce, people think that they have done a lot, and received not enough in return. Nobody is happy about a breakup. But I can say for sure: there was love on both sides, and on the part of Shnurov, it was also unconditional. I am not saying that I am the perfect person.

Now my plans are completely unclear even to myself. When a relationship breaks down, some business saves. My restaurant gives me strength, gastronomy is interesting to me. Recently, I went to New York, talked to chefs, gastronomic critics and journalists. What will happen next, I don't know for sure. I have many interests and many options for what to do. Whether this occupation will be related to show business or not, I do not know. Perhaps I will go to get a second education - why not? I have free time. If you don't know what to do, go study.

I have loved music since childhood. At school, she spent all her pocket money on CDs and books about rock musicians. I had a whole collection - from Led Zeppelin and AC / DC to Nirvana and The Prodigy. I heard Sergei Shnurov when I was 13 years old and bought the Summer Residents album. But when I met him personally, I already knew his work thoroughly. For me, show business has always been something alluring. While I'm an introvert, I like expression. I lived in the best group in the country for eleven years. It was a wonderful life.

I was disappointed in people. Especially lately. But still, the most important thing that each of us has is human connections: with parents, with children, with friends, with loved ones. The loneliness that we sometimes experience is imaginary. It's just emotions. This is fear: what if everyone turns away from me forever? Each of us needs someone. Just do not look for a donor.

I have a low opinion of myself. I don't hide it. They write to me that I motivate, inspire. I don't know how I can do it. It has nothing to do with my self-esteem. But it is very pleasant and important for me to help someone. I have met many people who have lost their motivation. Usually it is a sad sight - young, beautiful, capable boys and girls who do nothing. They age early in soul. I would like people around to have the opportunity to develop their own talents, to create something. Not necessarily something big. But let them grow above themselves. If I can become someone's assistant in this, I will definitely be.

The talent to be a woman it is not to lose kindness, tenderness, warmth. Feminine nature is to domesticate the wild, unyielding a little, to warm him up. There is nothing worse than a cold woman. ≠

Who wants to become the wife of a shaggy, bearded alcoholic who always yells obscenities and gets into all sorts of scandals? Dream, not a man! It may seem to an ordinary man in the street that Cord should not have any wife at all.

However - there is, and quite a "clever-beauty". Because Cord is not an ordinary drunk, “an old metalworker, party-goer and dude”, he is Cord, a phenomenon, the quintessence of the Russian land. Yes, drunk, yes, riotous, but strong and free, and rebellious, like the Russian spirit itself!

"The Swan Princess"

Elena Mozgovaya, and now Matilda Shnur, is a woman of unusual beauty. At the moment when Sergey Shnurov noticed her for the first time, he was, as usual, drunk.

At one of the parties, he stumbled over her gaze, the eyes from the painting "The Swan Princess" by Vrubel. "What's your name?" asked the musician. "Matilda," she replied.. “Oh .. oh!”, — the impressed Cord reacted.

That evening he got so drunk that he was carried out of the room. Stumbling a second time on her incredible eyes, he said: "We will find." He didn't have a choice. The Swan Princess was his favorite painting since childhood, and the woman depicted on the canvas was a youthful dream.

From Helena to Matilda

Elena Mozgovaya was born in a village in the Voronezh region. The father left the family early, and the girl's mother devoted most of her time to arranging her own personal life. At one time the girl lived with her grandmother, another time with her own father, and ran away from home at the age of 14.

Since then, Elena has not communicated with her relatives, and does not like to talk about it. It is known that she lived in Moscow and worked as an editorial assistant in a large publishing house.

She also worked part-time in the production house of Shapovalov (the creator of the TaTu group), and she recalls this time much more readily.

“I did small tasks, it’s not even a fact that I was paid. But I stayed there all night long and listened.” Monroe, Volochkova, Limonov wandered there. Natalia Vodianova with her English aristocratic husband.

Little is known about Elena's personal life. She is credited with an affair with the leader of the Voronezh group "7B" Ivan Demyan and photographer Dmitry Mikheev. It was Mikheev who nicknamed her Matilda for some unrealistic pre-revolutionary appearance.

By the way, Matilda she is now in the passport. New name - new destiny. Not the poor girl Lena from a remote village, but Matilda - mysterious, sophisticated, and a little pretentious.

For your beloved in St. Petersburg

The second time they met was at a Leningrad concert in 2006, the first concert after Luzhkov's ban was lifted. He came up and said, "Let's go!" Where are you going?” she wondered. "How where - e ... to go!".

That's all romance. Elena moved to Sergei in St. Petersburg, and after four years of relationship, Cord proposed to her. The romance this time was that at that moment he was looking for sausage in the refrigerator.

In St. Petersburg, the couple lived in a settled communal apartment in the Chaliapin House on the corner of the Kryukov Canal and Rimsky-Korsakov Avenue. In St. Petersburg, the girl graduated from the Institute of Technology, where she studied biochemistry. She even worked a little in her specialty in one of the laboratories, but soon chose to go into business.

What did Cord's bride do?

At first she helped Shnurov with the Blue Pushkin restaurant, then she opened her own restaurant. "KoKoKo" is a restaurant that has occupied the niche of the Moscow Patriarchs in St. Petersburg.

Gourmet food from farm products, from customers - ladies with BugaBoo strollers and their men. Shnurov himself drew a logo for the restaurant - the rest is all on Matilda.

She opened the Isadora amateur ballet school, where ex-soloists of the Bolshoi Theater, the Mariinsky Theater and the London Ballet Company teach. “There are enough professional schools, but there are no amateur schools at all. And people want to do ballet, as practice has shown.”

Matilda believes that loved ones should not get hung up on each other, and be sure to be distracted: “If I hadn’t worked, we would have parted a long time ago.”

Cords before and after

Obviously, Matilda has a very strong influence on Shnurov's whole life. And no matter how she claims that Cord is an absolutely independent and free figure, the transformation from a talented bum to a stylish rock idol is obvious. Cords - shave! Wear branded clothes! Gives out cunning after cunning, which are popular far beyond the fatal audience.
