Olga Krutaya permanently resides in the United States, but news about her very often appears in the Russian mass media. She is not only the wife and muse of the famous composer, but also a successful business woman, and at the same time one of the most stylish and elegant women of the Russian beau monde.
They talk about Olga Krutoy, first of all, as the wife of the composer Igor Krutoy. They are called one of the most prominent couples in show business, and Philip Kirkorov claims that the surname "Cool" is the most appropriate epithet for them. Olga, who is successfully engaged in business projects, prefers to remain in the shadow of her husband, as was customary in her parents' family.
Olga was born on November 11, 1963 in Leningrad. Her father was a major party functionary and an unquestioned authority in the family,
and the mother was engaged in raising her daughter and son. Despite the fact that Olya is still in Soviet times could show off in branded dresses inaccessible to her peers, the strictest ban was imposed on trousers, and she had to return home no later than seven in the evening. At the end high school, in full accordance with the wishes of her father, Olga became a student at the Leningrad Institute of Finance and Economics. However, the power of parents is not unlimited, and in 1982 Olga amazed her family with the news
married to Vladimir Bukhover, a man much older than her. In 1985, their daughter Victoria was born. The second shock for the father was the emigration of his daughter with her husband to the United States. However, staying in a foreign country, difficulties with work, and, according to Olga herself, a lack of wisdom and patience in family relationships led to a break between the spouses in 1989.
Olga and her daughter decided to stay, but she closely followed the events in her homeland and did not miss events, especially musical ones, with teaching
tie of compatriots. In 1993, Olga and her friends attended the "Songs of the Year" concert, which was held in Miami, and at the banquet after the concert she met with the then not very famous composer Igor Krutoy, family life which also collapsed at this time. They exchanged phone numbers, and Igor began to often call the woman he liked. Olga admitted that literally from the first phrases uttered by Igor, she felt the warmth and sincerity emanating from this person, and believed
him unconditionally. At their next meeting, which took place a month later, she received a marriage proposal, and without hesitation, accepted it. Olga filed an official divorce with her ex-husband, met Igor's mother and his son from his first marriage.
In 1995, two years after they met, a luxurious wedding took place, which was attended by all the celebrities who participated in the very concert at which Igor and Olga first met.
Even though Olga
could not leave her business in the USA, and Igor did not stop his creative and production activities in Russia, relations between the spouses developed extremely harmoniously. Olga convinced her husband to lead healthy lifestyle life and regularly visit the gym, became his image maker, and most importantly, his inspiration. She was dedicated to such Krutoy songs as the unconditional wedding hit "I love you to tears", the romantic "Palma de Mallorca" and many other unfading compositions. Igor managed to fix
warm relationship with Olga's daughter Victoria, over time he adopted the girl, and she began to bear his last name.
During the serious illness of Igor Krutoy in 2001, which required the most complicated operation on the pancreas, their whole family only rallied closer. Two years later, Olga and Igor had another daughter, Alexandra, to whom the composer also dedicated several songs, including "New Year's Sashenka", and during his short visits to the family home in Miami, literally not for a second
did not leave the baby.
Olga Krutaya prefers not to brag about her achievements. Her latest business project was the development of an author's line of perfumes, the formulas of which she created in collaboration with the French perfumer Nejla Barbir. This Russian brand, which is made in France, is called "OKKIi", made up of the initials of a married couple, and is already on sale at TSUM and Douglas Rivoli. The brand line includes four original fragrances - one for men (Opus p
our Homme), and three for women of various ages (Opus, La Muse and La Muse Sensuelle). Currently, the development of a new fragrance is being completed, the presentation of which will presumably take place in Moscow.
The life of Olga's daughters is also going well. Victoria was seriously engaged in vocals, took part in the "Morning Star" and "New Wave" competitions, starred in several music videos, the most popular of which was "I Love You So Much" (2003). The girl graduated from the drama school of Stella Adle
in New York, then studied business communications at the university, and also attended TV presenter courses at Ostankino, and eventually settled on the profession of a florist, opening a flower shop "Florist Gump" in Moscow. In July 2014, Victoria married restaurateur David Berkovich, whom she met at the age of twelve. Their luxurious wedding according to the Jewish rite, which was attended by the whole world of Moscow show business, was covered in detail by Internet publications. As for the younger
look, Alexandra, then she shows a penchant for fine arts and fashion design.

The past years have not affected Olga's appearance - she does not change her hair color and hairstyle, she is still slim and beautiful, she knows how to choose and effectively wear clothes of expensive brands. As for family relations Olga and Igor, then, by their mutual recognition, over the past twenty years they have only become stronger.
Olga Krutaya was born on November 11, 1963 in present-day St. Petersburg, and then still Leningrad. Olga's father was a man strict rules and did not spoil the girl. Mom, on the other hand, was engaged in everyday life and was a woman who knew how to create warmth and comfort in the house. Olga was calm child. However, the difficult nature of the father, who was fully transferred to the girl, began to manifest itself in transitional age. Olga fought for the right to wear fashionable clothes, to return from walks later than it was allowed by the father. And, as a rule, she managed to defend her desires. After graduating from school, Olga Krutaya enters the Leningrad Financial and Economic Institute at the Faculty of Economics. And soon he announces to his parents about his marriage to Vladimir Bukhover, who was much older than Olga. In 1985, the couple had a daughter, Victoria. When Vika was four years old, Olga and Vladimir decided to part.
A few years later, Olga will go to America to visit her childhood friend, and then call her parents and say that she remains to live there. Six months later, the girl will return to Russia, but only to take her daughter away. In the USA, Olga marries a wealthy American of Russian origin. She does not deny that the marriage was more of convenience than love and reluctantly recalls this period of her life.
In America, Olga worked as a model, participated in photography. About my professional activity she does not like to spread, preferring to remain in the shadow of her eminent spouse. Perhaps, only the most successful business project, which was launched by Olga in 2011 and has been operating to this day, has wide popularity. This is the creation of the Russian perfume brand OKKI, with production in France. The fragrances of this brand are very popular, and Olga Krutaya draws inspiration for their creation by listening to musical compositions Igor Krutoy.

According to Igor Krutoy, it was love at first sight and, as it turned out, the sympathy was mutual despite the fact that Olga was married.

Already at the age of 5-6, little Krutoy played the instrument, then they began to invite him to accompany the school choir.
