Alsou: a happy marriage of representatives of different religions is possible if Love lives in the heart. Built an empire alone
The famous singer will not appear in Russia for at least another year
Alsou went to give birth overseas. But before that, I decided to complete all the important things. She persuaded her husband Yan ABRAMOV to perform a special Muslim rite with her - nikah. Which took place in the strictest secrecy in the homeland of Alsu's father - Ralif SAFIN - in the Bashkir village of Uyandykovo.
The Safin family is very religious, the singer's father, a businessman and ex-presidential candidate of Bashkiria, even built a mosque in his homeland with his own money - as a gift to fellow countrymen.
The singer herself, until recently, not only did not observe the customs of her ancestors, but also knew the Tatar language much worse than English. When she decided to marry a Jew, this completely upset the patriarchs of the Safin family. Some relatives didn't even come to her wedding. Both grandmothers Alsou - Khalida and Taskira - were very worried that the marriage did not receive the blessing of the mullah.
Echpochmak
Alsu, of course, could not be indifferent to all this. And so, before giving birth, I decided to observe a very important tradition. The rite of nikah is one of the most important events in the life of Muslims, it is he who spiritually turns people who are strangers to each other into husband and wife.
But in this case there was a serious obstacle - the husband must be a Muslim! Since Jan agreed to scrupulously fulfill everything that is required during the sacred ceremony (Abramov even wore a traditional Tatar skullcap), an exception was made for him. In the eyes of the mullah, he was a full-fledged Muslim at the time of the sacrament. As witnesses, as expected, the fathers of Jan and Alsou were present. True, it is customary to go from the mosque to the groom's house, and the Abramov couple, for obvious reasons, invited everyone to a treat at the house of Alsou's grandmother, Khalida. But the happy old woman herself baked Tatar triangular pies with meat and potatoes - echpochmaki.
The Muslim relatives of Alsou were in vain afraid that they would not find a common language with the Jewish husband of their favorite.
Having got to know Abramov better, I was convinced that he is a very decent, well-mannered young man, - assures the famous Ufa composer and poet Rim Khasanov, who has been friends with the Safin family for many years. - By the way, we spoke Tatar with him! He's not an ordinary Jew, he's a "tat" - that's what Azerbaijani Jews are called. His family is from Baku, and as you know, mostly Muslims live there.
By the way, it was Khasanov who wrote several songs in Tatar for Alsou: one of them - "Papa" - the singer always performs at all her father's birthdays.
The star guests did not stay long in the village. After spending the night, we went to Ufa. Ralif Safin chartered the ship and arranged for his daughter and son-in-law a cruise on the Belaya River. For the guests, among whom were Yan's parents, Tatar and Bashkir pop stars sang. Alsou's husband also pleased his father-in-law - he sang national songs in a duet with local celebrity Aidar Galimov.
Hollywood
The newspapers were full of rumors that Alsou was going to give birth in London. This had its own logic, since Alsou has a house there and she knows this city very well. But in order to protect themselves from annoying journalists, the Abramov couple decided to look for another place. Another option is Israel, where Jan has many relatives and friends, which would facilitate many organizational issues. However, the war with Hezbollah forced them to abandon these plans as well. According to our data, the Abramovs chose a hospital in Los Angeles, where many Hollywood celebrities gave birth from the burden. Since Ian has an American passport, this has facilitated many formalities. But Alsou will now get back to Russia no earlier than in a year. After all, it is categorically not recommended to make such long flights across the ocean with babies. But the baby will automatically become a US citizen by birthright.
Alsou Sofina was very young, at the moment when fame came to her after the release of the video clip for the song “Winter Dream”. The composition became the starting point of popularity - the girl's career was rapidly going up. Being at the zenith of fame, Alsou, with the help of a friend, met a young man, Yan Abramov. The man became Alsou's husband.
But on the way to a happy life filled with harmony, there were certain difficulties. Alsu was brought up in a Muslim family. Yang is in Hebrew. How did the lovers overcome the difficulties of religion?
Abramov conquered Alsou by performing the melodies of her songs
For a long time, the most important man in the singer's life was her father. The man spoiled his pet, contributed to the formation of an artistic career. Once, in a popular institution, Alsou and her friend met a young man, Yan Abramov. The guy charmed the girls with good manners, the ability to easily carry on a conversation, make sophisticated compliments, and shine with a sense of humor.
Abramov began to look after the young artist and did it with his characteristic manner - elegantly, unobtrusively. On the first real date, Jan conquered his future wife by playing melodies of songs from the performer's repertoire on the piano.
Built an empire alone
Abramov was born in 1977 into the family of a well-known Jewish businessman who taught his son to be responsible and hardworking, to set goals and achieve them. This helped when the young man began to build his career and business. Sports hardening turned out to be not superfluous - even in his school years, living with his family in Baku, the guy was actively involved in basketball and tennis, football. Studying in the USA was also a good school of life. For Jan, it has never been prestigious to refer to himself as a “golden youth”. The guy was not seen in a hectic lifestyle, addiction to drugs and parties. But he managed to learn three languages during his stay in the States.
A successful man is now proud that his father paid for his education, and he began to build a business on his own, without financial support. And first of all, he established relations between the Russian and American sides for successful business cooperation. With a friend, they began to publish the magazine "America", over time, he is a member of the leaders of the company "New Technologies", in the association of pyrotechnics. His company has established the production of OCA weapons. This allowed Abramov to enter the top ten most enviable and richest suitors in Russia. There was a prince, and he needed a real princess.
Abramov's novels: a star list of ex-lovers
For some time there were persistent rumors about Abramov's novels. Among the names of his lovers were such as Alina Kabaeva and the scandalous Ksenia Sobchak with no less outrageous Anastasia Volochkova. But Jan was always a diplomat and a gentleman - he assured that these worthy women were just his friends. Although he does not deny that there were relationships, but he never thought about the wedding. Until Alsu met. 
The mayor of Moscow presented a marriage certificate
After several months of dating, Abramov decided - here she is - a life partner and mother of his future children. The proposal was made in a romantic setting - on the roof of one of the capital's restaurants. The wedding was luxurious - eminent guests gave the keys to a country house and expensive jewelry, large sums of money and a foreign car. The marriage certificate was handed over to the newlyweds personally by Yuri Luzhkov.
Family life was smooth - without public scandals and loud statements. After a while, the couple had two daughters. They influenced each other even in the choice of clothes. Alsou, realizing that her husband likes women in stilettos, learned to wear them, and Jan, accustomed to wear a suit even at home, began to afford a T-shirt and jeans. They have learned not to pay attention to rumors, gossip and calmly read the news about their divorce. 
For the sake of a loved one changed faith
Some dear relatives from the bride's side were not present at their wedding. They were outraged that the mullah did not give permission for the marriage of a Muslim woman and a Jew. All the years of a happy life together, Alsou remembered this, and this topic tormented her. Before the birth of one of her daughters, the singer asked her husband to go to the Bashkir village where she was born and undergo a ceremony to convert to Islam. And Jan did not refuse his beloved. After some time, their marriage was blessed by the mullah.
Alsou admitted that there were moments when she thought about leaving her creative career in order to devote more time to her family, daughters, and husband. But while she manages to combine these three incarnations and in each to be flawless and the best.
Alsou went to give birth overseas. But before that, I decided to complete all the important things. She persuaded her husband Yan ABRAMOV to perform a special Muslim rite with her - nikah. Which took place in the strictest secrecy in the homeland of Alsu's father - Ralif SAFIN - in the Bashkir village of Uyandykovo.

Tat
The Muslim relatives of Alsou were in vain afraid that they would not find a common language with the Jewish husband of their favorite.

Even for the biggest love of my life - a businessman Yana Abramova flatly refused to change her religion. The newspaper Life writes about it. However, the groom is also not going to renounce the faith of his fathers.
Recall that Alsu is a Muslim, while Abramov is a Jew. Their wedding, scheduled for this summer, was in jeopardy. And then Alsu and Yang went to their spiritual mentors for advice.
The love story of a famous singer and a successful businessman can become the plot for a classic ladies' romance.
I don’t know what I did so good in my life that heaven sent Jan to me, - insists Alsu.
The girl still cannot believe in her happiness. She once admitted that she was terribly afraid at some point to open her eyes and not see her lover next to her. It still seems to the singer that their love is nothing but a beautiful dream. And terribly afraid to scare away his happiness ...
Acquaintance
A year and a half ago, Alsou was introduced to a successful businessman Yan Abramov by their mutual friend, the singer Ariana, who invited both of them to her birthday.
Yang then took the initiative first, asking to be introduced to the most beautiful girl of the evening. They exchanged phone numbers, and exactly a week later the young man sent Safina a basket of white roses, decorated with stones from Swarovski.
Then Abramov invited the girl to dinner at the most luxurious restaurant in Moscow, and from that very day they became regulars at social events. The only thing that bothered the girl was how her parents would react to her new boyfriend. But...
Jan was the only one of my guys who liked both dad and mom, ”Alsu admitted. - And this fact greatly influenced the development of our further relations.
Offer
There were two. For the first time, Abramov proposed to Safina in the prestigious French resort of St. Tropez. The young man decided to arrange a surprise for his beloved and organized a party for 14 people in one of the local restaurants, for which he did not regret 28 thousand euros. It was there, in the presence of his closest friends, that Jan offered Als his hand and heart. Then the confused and obviously embarrassed girl managed to laugh it off.
The singer accepted Abramov's offer in Moscow. In a prestigious metropolitan restaurant, he presented Alsou with a chic white gold ring encrusted with diamonds and said that he would be happy if she became his wife.
And then, moved to tears, the girl whispered to him: "Yes."
Religion
The very next day they went to the singer's parents to ask for their blessings. Then the father and mother of the star asked only one question: "Will any of you decide to change religion?"
The question was completely natural, because Safina professes Islam, and Abramov - Judaism. Not knowing what to say, the young people went to their spiritual guides for advice.
The fact is that even for the sake of my husband, I would not dare to change my religion, - says the singer. - And so I was terribly worried when I went to Kazan to see the mufti ...
Decision
Both the mufti and the rabbi made the same decision: nothing can interfere with the wedding of Alsou and Jan.
The mufti explained to me that, despite the fact that Muslims and Jews adhere to different faiths, they are two very spiritually close nations and that marriages between them are not prohibited, and it is not at all necessary for the bride or groom to change their faith. Thus, the problem disappeared by itself, and we did not have to make sacrifices, - the singer rejoices.
Alsou does not particularly talk about her marriage to Abramov - she is very afraid to jinx it.
From early childhood, I dreamed of my own wedding, she smiles. - I wanted to look like a real princess on this most solemn day for me. (Laughs.) I will have a dress without any special frills, but always with a twist and certainly with a long veil. All preparations for the celebration are in full swing. I can't wait for summer...

Singer Alsu Safina and businessman Yan Abramov played a wedding last weekend, which many guests called the most luxurious they have ever seen.
Numerous paparazzi, who sat on the Moskvoretsky Bridge, who were in the settled rooms of the Rossiya Hotel, and who were in the banquet hall at the table, noted that Abramov surpassed everyone in terms of security.
It was impossible for a simple layman to even get close to the building of "Russia" closer than a hundred meters because of the unprecedented number of guards armed with machine guns and lean persons. So that the guests could enter the wedding, the organizers, in turn, armed them with invitations.
The most honored (VVIP) guests received velvet boxes with a notice engraved on the glass from Yan and Alsou's parents. The bride and groom showed democracy and sent invitation cards to their friends in the form of a music disc.
In anticipation of the ceremony, the guests gathered in the lobby of the concert hall. The premises of the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall miraculously changed: the designers kept it in pale lilac and light pink colors.
Divans upholstered in red satin were placed around the columns. Near them were tables with all kinds of fruits and vegetables. Fanciful paradise animals and birdies made of mangoes, pineapples and papaya, golden chocolates lay scattered. Obsequious waiters poured aperitifs for every taste, among which was even Drambuie, which is known to be loved by tax consultants of natural monopolies. Many started right away with cognac.
The hall was framed by a retrospective of photographs of Alsou and Yan - from the age of infancy to the state of the current moment.
Young people decided to publicly conclude their marriage in the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall, and therefore they invited the workers of the Griboedovsky registry office there.
When the invitation to the beginning of the ceremony sounded, the airy fabric rose into the air, and the guests proceeded decorously to the second floor.
Due to the absence of witnesses, seating at the tables took place according to a simplified scheme. Relatives from the bride's side were located on the right side of the aisle, where it was possible to observe Alsou going "to the altar", and the groom's relatives - on the left. When the bride did appear in the foyer, the guests were stunned. Alsou looked exactly like a fairy tale princess from a fairy tale about the rich and crowned. An ivory dress was complemented by a weightless silk veil. The train was carried by touching pages (both boys and girls).
All those present noted that at the moment when Jan put on his bride a ring studded with diamonds on her ring finger, Alsou burst into tears of happiness. The rest of the guests were heartbroken and also wept. After the formalism, the guests proceeded to the concert hall. The basis of his decorations were fresh flowers - orchids and roses. The young themselves settled on a real throne in the form of huge violet petals. Jan, however, was mostly busy with guests and general control, constantly talking on the radio with the administrators.
A special logo "YA" was even invented for the ceremony. Obviously, it is made up of the first letters of the names of the spouses. Although some guests joked that this is still a new brand "Yan Abramov".
There were over five hundred guests. Yuri Luzhkov, Oleg Gazmanov, Ksenia Sobchak, Igor Krutoy, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Lev Leshchenko - this is not a complete list of only eminent guests. In addition to people known to all Russians, numerous friends and relatives of the young people arrived at the wedding. Even the mayors of Baku and Bugulma, the hometowns of Yan and Alsou, arrived.
The most memorable toast was delivered by Iosif Kobzon:
When I married my daughter Natasha, I made the following speech: "I will never allow my daughter to ever divorce her husband. In the worst case, she can only be left alone if she becomes a widow!" Jan, this primarily concerns you! My children, take marriage very seriously!
Parents read toasts in verse, and Lev Leshchenko came with his friend Vladimir Vinokur and encouraged Jan and Alsou to breed. And right on the spot.
Jazzmen George Benson, Al Jerreau and Italian artists "Ricky and Believe" entertained the guests literally from under the sky.
Abramov's friends presented a new Bentley model to the newlyweds. Vladimir Vinokur presented some "jewellery", Oleg Gazmanov - a stroller made of fresh flowers, and composer Maxim Dunayevsky - for some reason, a picture.
As always, the pragmatic Ksenia Sobchak handed the young an envelope with money. In her opinion, this is the only possible gift for a wedding.
The guests began to leave after three in the morning, and the newlyweds themselves left "Russia" at about seven. The next evening they had to be ready to continue the celebration in a narrower circle of their closest ones.
