Mikhail Yurievich Aizenshpis. The mysterious disappearance of the son of Aizenshpis: he left everything and left for St. Petersburg. Life after release

January 22nd, 2017

There was such a famous music producer who passed away not so long ago, but that's not the point. Even if you have not heard about him, then maybe in the continuation of the conversation you will be interested in the details about working days in the colonies Soviet Union.

Famous music producer Yuri Aizenshpis Soviet time twice was convicted for foreign exchange transactions. In total, he served 17 years. But the talent of the manager Aizenshpis realized in the zone. In the first trip, he set up production at the construction site of KrAZ, in the second he was in charge of the sawmill. Aizenshpis recalled that smart person he lived well even in the zone, his income was measured in thousands of rubles.

Here are the details...

Yuri Aizenshpis became music producer already at the age of 19. Then he studied to be an economist, worked at the Central Statistical Bureau. He combined music and service with foreign exchange transactions. In 1970, at the age of 25, he sat down for the first time for 10 years for currency speculation. But he was released on parole for exemplary work in 1977. A year later, he was again convicted under the same article, he was released in 1988. In the book “From a farmer to a producer. Business people in the USSR” he tells how his talent helped him become a manager in the colonies.

For five months in the Krasnoyarsk zone, I have never touched a shovel or a pickaxe. They could not work at a construction site either “for authority” or for money. I took more second. The parents promptly sent the starting advance amount, and then the foreman's services were paid from the "earned". For example, when fulfilling the norm of the plan, the foreman closes orders for 160 rubles for you. If you conditionally “work hard with overfulfillment”, for example, by 200 rubles, then 80 goes zone for "wait", and 120 to the personal account. After taxes, 100 remain. Of these, 50 are for you, and 50 are for the foreman. No more than 10% of all prisoners participated in such a conspiracy, because it was also required to build an object. Not everyone was able to find "ways" to the hillock, even fewer could competently implement the scheme for transferring money home and back. Well, some work addicts just worked hard like elephants and left home rich people. Just before my arrival in the zone, one such hard worker was released from there, having plowed up 5,000 rubles in two years!

This turned out to be an unexpected discovery: forced labor can earn good money. Not as significant as currency transactions, but more than in research institutes. At the same time, only a maximum of 15 rubles per month was allowed to be spent in a shop-stall: a base amount of 9 rubles + 4 production rubles (if you meet the production rate) + 2 incentives, if you worked well, did not violate the order. In general, sparsely, and only two food parcels of 5 kg per year were allowed. However, the conditions and opportunities for quality food here turned out to be much better. It was only necessary to apply a little mind and imagination, to correctly take into account local specifics.


And the specificity was that when the cordon was removed, anyone could enter the territory of the facility under construction. And hide in one of the many secluded places vodka, money, food - whatever! It was required to have only money, and not on the card, but live. The worked out financial scheme was as follows: money was transferred from the card to Moscow to parents, then went by reverse telegraphic transfer to a free resident of Krasnoyarsk, and then forwarded to me. As a rule, civilian employees who worked alongside us. And although 50 people of the supervisory staff snooped around the entire construction site, although contact with prisoners was strictly forbidden for freemen, it was not possible to detect numerous violations. And why, if it is beneficial to everyone?

The zone was building a large object of the Komsomol shock construction - KrAZ, the Krasnoyarsk aluminum plant. In the meantime, my career also went up: from a shop worker, I rose to a contractor in the plant management. An engineering position, the main functions of which are accounting and organization of labor. Every day I followed the payroll, I knew exactly who was in which detachment and in which brigade, how long and for what I received. At the request of the superiors, I instantly gave out information on where this or that prisoner is now - in the isolation ward, hospital or at work. If at work, then where exactly, what does he do, what are his performance indicators. Nicely useful to me statistical education!

I was assigned a separate office, which I soon hung with schedules of operational reports, figures for putting to work, labor productivity and other numerical characteristics. And I did this job better than many experienced business executives, who were also enough in the zone: both in the noisy business of the Okean store and in the illegal export of diamonds to Israel. Although the salary was like that of an ordinary Soviet engineer - 120 rubles.

The high position also entailed certain life benefits, which in any zone only a few of the most significant prisoners in the structure have. I dined separately, much tastier and more nutritious than the others, sometimes I cooked on my own in my office on a small electric stove. Even arranged feasts! There were always scarce foods on my menu. Through the civilian staff, I actively contacted the will, and sometimes I even asked the senior warder to bring vodka and sausages. The contractors who were in my subordination could lead a person from one part of the zone to another, from residential to industrial. And not one, but with a load. Do you see how you can benefit from this?

The leadership of the zone did not pay attention to the petty abuses of the workmen, and their privileged position was easily explained. This is construction, and repair, this is crafts - prison crafts. Checkers and chess, pens, knives, lighters - the need for inventions is cunning. And to your house, and big man donate, maybe sell on the market. Consumer goods are a completely separate topic in the life of the zone, one of the sources of money and indulgences, and if you are handy, you will not be lost. Of course, 15-20 people are in a privileged position, no more. Their outfits are closed at the expense of the main production, and they live like in chocolate - no checks, no regime.

When I sat down for the second time, the word "colony" had already become slang, it was correct to call this institution "ITU". At the head of the ITU were the chief and a number of his deputies: for operational-regime work, political and educational, for production and for general issues. Each deputy had departments, and the deputy for production was at the same time the director of the plant where the prisoners worked. The plant produced both furniture and garden houses, but the main ones in the assortment were cases for Soviet TVs.

AT big office Over 30 people crowded the head of the ITU - the heads of all the detachments, the heads of various services. There there was a distribution by detachments and workshops. They called me to the carpet. I said that I am an engineer-economist by education, I have serious work experience. He did not hide his ambitions and readiness for the most responsible positions. In general, I aroused such confidence that I was immediately appointed head of the assembly shop.

So I, a simple Soviet prisoner, ended up in a leadership position. First of all, my duties included the implementation of the plan, visits to the operatives, close work with the administration and with the convicts. I had to put pressure on the hillocks, who, by local standards, are very serious comrades. I had to argue with the administration, proving my case. I had to work hard.

The quality of leadership is determined not so much by knowledge and education, but by experience and a special mindset and character. I not only had an idea about statistics, accounting, economic evaluation situations, but also possessed the qualities of a leader, enviable energy and activity. I was fond of psychology and philosophy and successfully applied knowledge in practice. Whether a vagabond, a criminal, an authority or a hard worker - with each one I found mutual language and had a good relationship. And, of course, the life and prison experience that I have already gained. At the same time, I always preferred to be myself and do things on my own. So, for example, for all the years in captivity, I did not make a single tattoo, considering it below my aesthetic principles.

My new status is the head of the assembly shop, my employees are 300 people. Our workshop received numerous wooden parts, covers, bottoms, reflectors. It was necessary to process, fit, glue and pre-polish them before the final varnishing, which was no longer carried out by us. Clean up your shirt. If there is a crack, open it with a scalpel, drive the emulsion into it and “fry” it with an iron. Practically a surgical operation. Each prisoner had to give out 26 such boxes every day. And then the quality control department begins to meticulously examine them, outline all sorts of shortcomings and defects with white chalk, and sometimes reject up to half of the products.

The main and immediate thing I saw was the clearing of the territory from the rubble of defective products. 70% of the useful space was occupied by tall floor-to-ceiling catacombs. Narrow corridors pierced them like ant passages, while the last rows often contained large "pockets". There, the convicts organized secluded rookeries, where they did the devil knows what. And I went to marriage with a powerful attack, and its number began to decrease. But all this horror has accumulated over the years, passed from one boss to another according to the balance sheet, and the numbers have not corresponded to reality for a long time.

The director of the enterprise could not get enough of it and encouraged me in every possible way. And if earlier the workshop had difficulty fulfilling the daily plan, now other important nomenclature indicators characterizing economic activity: economy, productivity.

And I also minimized theft, and in the zone they steal everywhere and that's it. They steal what is needed and what is not needed, what lies badly and what lies well. It seems that there are fences and locks all around, thorns and guards - do not believe your eyes! Logs and plywood, boards and nails, sandpaper, small and large - if it can be dragged away, it is dragged away. Go to the village, which is near the zone, and there you will certainly find a lot of everything stolen from behind bars. I didn't have it, full control over the storekeepers, no one will steal or take anything away. At night, everything was closed with massive bolts, even a mouse would not slip through.

All visiting inspections noted my workshop against the background of all the others. Everything flew like on a conveyor belt, no one was idle, no one was idle, everything was ticking like a clock. I received guests and examiners in my personal office, with magnificent mahogany veneer furniture, treated them good tea With delicious sweets, and for some time the feeling of who is who was lost.

The workers in the assembly shop constantly felt my concern, I was practically a father to them. It manifested itself not only in beautiful locker rooms, cozy showers and just in clean production. I encouraged and supported their zeal and ingenuity in every possible way: if they ensured the production rate, they got the opportunity to buy additional goods for 3-4 rubles in the stall, overfulfilled the plan - I signed lists for additional tea. Up to 5 packs per month. I tried to wear high-quality overalls, almost all working workers went in shiny melustine uniforms.

Of course, high status brought me certain dividends. Good food, free movement from working area to residential and back, the opportunity not to attend roll calls, unlimited contacts with civilians. I was granted visits of maximum duration twice a year for three days.

Then I started stepping on sawdust, made several rationalization proposals, even found buyers, to whom I sent a hundred or even more carloads of pressed sawdust. The overall economic effect of my innovations amounted to several million rubles, that is, if I caused damage to the country with my speculation, now I have more than covered it.

I completely freed the territory from waste, and the village began to experience a shortage of firewood. After all, before a truck of wood was taken out of the gates of the zone just for a bottle of vodka! They even got angry with me, but I continued to do my job. For the implementation of rationalization proposals, I received a diploma from the Minister of Internal Affairs of Mordovia and a number of patents. And if I had not been a prisoner, they would have been presented with the title of Honored Innovator of the RSFSR. But very big cash reward-10,000 rubles - I still got it after leaving the zone. And in the wild, it was very useful to me.

The foreign word “producer”, unknown to Soviet citizens, was first introduced into the lexicon by Yuri Aizenshpis. Before him, people involved in the organization of concert activities were usually called administrators, impresario or concert directors. Aizenshpis' innovation affected not only the formal name, but the very essence of the activity. In addition to organizing tours and solving purely domestic issues on trips, he invested his own money in the artist, in his advertising and promotion, and in return, by “promoting” him, he made a profit.

Yuri Aizenshpis was a businessman to the core and raised the domestic music industry to a new level. The pioneer of domestic show business was barely 20 years old when he tried to put into practice his ideas about the profession of a producer. He took the Moscow rock band Sokol under his wing. It was 1965 outside. In the country of the Soviets, performers like Valery Obodzinsky were considered an extreme manifestation of the musical avant-garde. Officially recognized music was represented by the immortal Iosif Kobzon, Lyudmila Zykina and someone else like that.

The era of domestic vocal and instrumental ensembles has not yet begun, and Yuri Aizenshpis has already begun to operate with the phrase “rock band”, which is absolutely incomprehensible to the ordinary Soviet ear, taken from the Western music industry. The very first producer of the Soviet Union got acquainted with modern music from vinyl records, which he successfully sold.

His parents are veterans of the Great Patriotic War, could not imagine that their son from a young age would become an asocial element in the USSR and spend 17 years in prison years. His father is a Jew with Spanish roots, whose ancestors moved to Poland. In 1939, with the flow of Polish refugees fleeing the advance of the Nazi troops, he ended up in his new homeland, which he had to defend with a rifle in his hands. Mom - a native of Belarus, 3 years partisan in the forests.

Yuri Aizenshpis was born in 1945 in Chelyabinsk. Parents moved to the capital, where they lived very modestly - in an ordinary barracks. Only in 1961 they moved to the "Khrushchev" near the metro station "Sokol". Aizenshpis went to study at the Moscow Institute of Economics and Statistics. He had to study economics not only in the classrooms of the higher educational institution, but also on the street, where he "pushed" the Beatles and Rolling Stones discs to connoisseurs of rock music.

The fartsovschik himself turned into a frenetic music lover, having collected a rare collection of albums by Western rock musicians. After the records came the turn of fashionable imported clothes, scarce fur products and musical equipment. Gradually, Aizenshpis had a network of customers and suppliers in his hands. He made connections with foreigners. Ambassadors were among his acquaintances foreign states and their children. As a student, he no longer lived in poverty, as in childhood. Everywhere and always since then, he managed to provide himself with a standard of living well above the average face value. Then he tried to earn money by producing a musical group, but he had to continue his first experience almost after 2 decades.

Upon graduation, Yuri Aizenshpis got a job as an economist at the Central Statistical Office. The work did not bother him much. Underground business reached giant size. Yuri Aizenshpis switched to foreign currency and gold. The turnover of illegal operations almost equaled the budget of the institution where he was an employee. Numerous agents of an ordinary economist bought currency from Moscow taxi drivers and prostitutes. In those days, Vneshtorgbank was already officially trading in gold bars.

The ubiquitous KGB dealt with the "currency" in the USSR. In 1970, Aizenshpis was quite expectedly arrested. During a search of his apartment, they found $ 17,000 and 10,000 "wooden" rubles - gigantic sums of money at that time. The underground millionaire was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Being a "huckster" according to the thieves' classification, Aizenshpis, however, did not live in poverty in the "zone". Records and currency were replaced by tea, cigarettes and alcohol. A born businessman did not waste time in the colony. After 7 years, he will be released on parole. He will return to Moscow, but literally in a few weeks he will again be in a pre-trial detention center and all under the same “currency” article. This time, during the search, $50,000 will be found, but all the bills will turn out to be counterfeit.

Again 10 years of captivity. In April 1988, having gone beyond the "ban", Yuri Aizenshpis will find himself in a completely new world. He saw that he was very unlucky in life. He got two convictions for nothing. In the future, he will achieve his full justification. It will not be possible to return only a unique collection of "vinyl". The speculation persecuted in the socialist state will receive a different interpretation - business as usual, market economy. Aizenshpis had no interest in resuming trading operations with currency or other goods. Age is not the same, and health was greatly undermined by prison. He got a bunch of chronic diseases - diabetes, cirrhosis of the liver. In prison, he had to recover from hepatitis 2 types.

Producer Yuri Aizenshpis

Yuri Aizenshpis decided to take up music seriously. Initially, the recidivist was sheltered by the creative association "Gallery", which worked under the wing of the city committee of the Komsomol. Yuri Aizenshpis has always been distinguished by high communication skills and an incredible ability to adapt in any conditions. It helped him in his work. Ideological Komsomol members felt the taste of money and were not averse to earning extra money on young talents. Aizenshpis quickly got up to speed in the music business and soon abandoned his patronage, starting to work for himself.

His first production project was the Kino group and its leader. Then he first called himself a producer. In 1990, Yuri Aizenshpis was the first in the USSR to fully pay for the release of the “Black Album” of the Kino group with his own funds. Before him, no one dared to do so. After Tsoi, he was engaged in rock groups "Technology", " moral code and Dynamite. Following the bands, it was the turn of solo performers - Vlad Stashevsky, Katya Lel, Dima Bilan and several others of a smaller caliber.

To finance the project of Stashevsky, Aizenshpis attracted Alexander Makushenko, whom he knew well from the years of imprisonment, whom he knew as Sasha Gypsy. Music in the hands of a businessman turned out to be an attractive tool for making money big money. In 2001, Aizenshpis became CEO the whole enterprise "Media Star". Everything would be fine, but my health was very disturbing. Yuri Aizenshpis was forced to adhere to a constant diet, regularly see doctors and constantly swallow a bunch of pills.

Yuri Aizenshpis - cause of death

In September 2005, he will start bleeding from the stomach. A perforated ulcer will be added to a huge bouquet of diseases. Doctors successfully eliminate a new problem, but the next day the patient dies of myocardial infarction. The first time a heart attack overtook him immediately after the second release from the "zone". He will be buried at the Domodedovo cemetery in the suburbs of Moscow.

The most successful projects of producer Aizenshpis are considered the first and last in a row. Viktor Tsoi is still considered a cult singer among rock fans, and Dmitry Bilan is the only Russian pop singer who won the most prestigious victory at Eurovision. The producer will not be able to wait for the success of the singer, which will come 2 days after his death.

After the death of the producer, Dima Bilan will become the object of attack for the common-law wife of Aizenshpis, Elena Kovrigina, who tried to substantiate her right to the artist's name brand in court, which she believed was wholly owned civil husband and claimed that the "star" did not fulfill some of the terms of the contract. She failed to defend her rightness. Dima Bilan fell into the hands of another producer, Yana Rutkovskaya.

11 years after the funeral of Yuri Aizenshpis, his name will again appear in criminal reports. The police will arrest the son of the producer Mikhail, in whose things one and a half grams of cocaine will be found. Despite his demonstrated proclivity for crime, the son did not fully follow in his father's footsteps. Music was not for him.

Looking for a boy

The only heir to the famous producer Yuri Aizenshpis, Mikhail, was found safe and sound. The 22-year-old boy has been wanted since January of this year. Missing son filed by ex civil wife Aizenshpisa Elena Goiningen-Gune. Then the woman told the cops a tearful story about how the “boy” left his Moscow apartment, does not answer the phone and nothing about him is known to relatives or friends.

On January 28, the Metropolitan Police put Mikhail on the federal wanted list. Photos of the slender guy were sent to all departments different regions. Soon the trail led them to Petersburg. The guy bought a ticket for a peregrine falcon and got lost in the city on the Neva.

They searched for the opera, but somehow it was very lazy. Photos of his orientations did not flood the metro stations, did not hang on every pole. They didn't even ask for help from volunteers.

And yet Misha got caught. On June 2, at noon, he was stopped in the south of the city near the Moskovskiye Vorota metro station.

Alive, healthy. We talked with him, he wrote a receipt that he would return home and went about his business, - a police source briefly said. Cops don't want to share details. They only explain that they found it through “operational development”. So the guy didn't show himself.

Operas' reluctance to share details is understandable. Mikhail, although he was on the federal wanted list, but not as a criminal. In fact, he simply stopped communicating with relatives, broke off old ties and left for the most beautiful city in Russia.

It's his own business how to live and where, - shrug their shoulders in the police.

star guy

Michael has always had complicated relationship with relatives. For example, his aunt Faina - Native sister deceased producer - she learned about the disappearance of her nephew only from journalists.

We never really talked, - the woman explained then. I don't even know if he disappeared or not.

Misha did not see his father often, especially in childhood, although he is his only heir. When Yuri Shmilevich died, the guy was 12 years old. The former civil wife of Aizenshpis began to demand an inheritance for her son. As such, the whole Dima Bilan was attached - songs, brand. As compensation, they asked for $ 2 million at the rate of 2007.

Yura was not one of those fathers who are interested in messing around with kids, - Elena Goiningen-Gühne spoke at the trial. - But in recent times they were very friendly. And Yuri Shmilevich always solved the problems of his child, including material ones. Misha is growing up, in a few years he will go to college ... Only his father, who could help him, is no longer around.

The story of the division of the Dima Bilan project divorced the artist from the family of the first producer, although before that the singer swore that he would not leave them.

Yuri Shmilevich died in 2005 from a heart attack, two years before the previously unknown, but talented Vitya Belan became the “Artist of the Year” and “Performer of the Year” at prestigious award MTV RMA-2005.

At the funeral, Dima was held by the hand by Yana Rudkovskaya on the one hand, and on the other by the son of the late producer Misha Aizenshpis. After the death of his mentor and teacher, Bilan decided to leave StarPro, which was inherited by the widow and son of Aizenshpis. Then he gave an interview to KP, where he spoke about the contract with the Aizenshpis studio:

Yes. The contract was. But serfdom abolished in 1861. BUT human relations must remain human.

After that, Bilan thundered, and we heard about the son of Aizenshpis only in fits and starts. He, it seems, opened a company in Moscow, which was engaged in the development software. But the story of the suitcase became the peak of his popularity. In February 2014, Misha was detained with cocaine and a suitcase of money. According to the police, he was taken to the police station at his own request. Then, near the Polezhaevskaya metro station, he approached the employees law enforcement and asked to be taken into custody. The guy's behavior aroused their suspicions. They searched - they found a bag of cocaine and a substantial amount of money in the car. After the opera, they searched his apartment. The case was opened, but it ended in nothing. The young man was released. A year later, he disappeared.

Elena Goyningen-Hühne, who filed a statement about her son's disappearance in January of this year, now does not want to discuss family matters. She told Komsomolskaya Pravda that Mikhail did not disappear at all and that she had known about his stay in St. Petersburg all this time.

He was not missing, no one from the police called me, - said the mother of Aizenshpis. - He is not and was not on the federal wanted list. This is all false information. And I won't discuss it with you. My son is not a star, like our entire family.

DOSSIER "KP"

Yuri Shmilevich Aizenshpis was born on July 15, 1945 in Chelyabinsk, where his Muscovite mother Maria Mikhailovna was evacuated. After the war, the family returned to the capital. Also in student years(studied as an engineer-economist) Yuri began working in the underground Soviet "show business" - he organized concerts of the rock group Sokol, popular in the 60s among Moscow youth. In 1970, during a search in Aizenshpis's apartment, the police seized 15,585 rubles and $7,675. He was convicted under the article “Violation of the rules on foreign exchange transactions” and was released only 18 years later, in 1988. A year later, he became the director of the Kino group, and after the death of Viktor Tsoi, he began to collaborate with other artists. AT different years produced the groups "Technology", "Moral Code", "Dynamite", singers Linda, Katya Lel, singer Vlad Stashevsky. Last big project Yuri Aizenshpis - Dima Bilan.

The producer died on September 20, 2005 from a myocardial infarction. He was buried near Moscow at the Domodedovo cemetery.

On September 20, Yuri Shmilevich Aizenshpis (1945-2005), one of the few real producers in this country, died.

Aizenshpis got into show business in his youth, but much of what he did then was on the verge of legality (). As a result, the guy went to a prison university and was able to fully return to work only by the age of 45.

Aizenshpis' first project was Viktor Tsoi, whose cooperation was interrupted by a tragic accident.

Artists left him with scandals, he threw them himself, sometimes there was not enough money for further promotion.

Let's talk today about the "thwarted" projects of the producer, who is considered super-successful.

TECHNOLOGY GROUP (1991-1992)


Collaboration: The members of the group agree that Aizenshpis took them, like Tsoi, "ready". There was no need to do anything - "Technology" had already successfully performed "Strange Dances" and "Press the Button", which became calling card guys.

Aizenshpis just shot them a video for "Strange Dances" and charged the airwaves. In addition, he persuaded the participants to mow outwardly to Depeche Mode. Well, I also brought lighting equipment from abroad.

But to shoot clips and charge the broadcasts cost money, which the participants of the "Technology" did not seem to understand. The editors on television demanded money for every sneeze, making Aizenshpis nostalgic for the days when Tsoi's appearance in the Vzglyad program cost nothing.

Reasons for the gap: The "Technology" was ruined by the crowd. Incomes were divided at the rate of 60% to Aizenshpis, 40% to the group. In principle, in a divine way, but these 40% had to be pulled for four and the amount was not impressive. Why Technologiya accused Aizenshpis of this is not entirely clear. Let's assume - trouble with arithmetic.


Wanting to wrest from Aizenshpis not only freedom, but also money, Technology turned to crime for help.

Aizenshpis said:

“A letter on 15 pages with a red ballpoint pen with a bunch of accusations was received not only by me, but also by some criminal elements who undertook to judge us. I just couldn't dismiss these people and agreed to meet. The arrow took place on one of rented apartments close to Sokol. In addition to me, who came in splendid isolation, and the brawlers from the group, there were several more highly respected people in criminal circles. Kind of like a protégé of musicians. And with someone I even somehow sat together ...

Debriefing has begun. Having calmly listened to a whole stream of accusations, I answered each of the points with such skill and reason that I didn’t even leave a stone unturned. The criminal element recognized my innocence and did not take the side of the musicians. All that I lost as a result of this meeting was a mountain of promotional material for the group, all sorts of stupid posters and calendars with their arrogant faces "

"YANG GUNS" (1992)


Collaboration: Not realizing that the time for pop music was coming, Aizenshpis took another rock band under his wing, but quickly changed his mind. He did not have time to invest steep finances in this project, for which he repeatedly thanked the Lord.

Reasons for the breakup: The initiator of the breakup was Aizenshpis, he got too wild musicians. The guys all the time shared leadership in the team, starting fights right at the concerts, spoiling the equipment, conflicting with the police. And it was not yet glory, and even its breath would blow the roof off without a return. Realizing this, Aizenshpis broke the contract.

LINDA (1992-1993)


Collaboration: Linda Aizenshpis was interested in dad, banker Alexander Geiman, or rather, his money. First of all, Aizenshpis destroyed Linda's duet with her girlfriend, convincing that pushing through solo project easier. Then he faced shyness future star. Aizenshpis gave her a description:

Linda wore long hair and could not speak coherently: an ordinary provincial Jewish girl whose dad has risen a lot. No talent at all, just a girl who wanted to sing. And in the school, of course, having felt the taste of profit, they began to write it down as super talents. They just bred the parent for clearly selfish purposes so that he would hire expensive teachers.

Reasons for the gap: Naturally, the producer's criticism strained the banker, and Aizenshpis did not know how to mold something acceptable from the artist. And then Max Fadeev appeared on the horizon.

The success of the first albums could not be repeated, although in 2004 Linda had another powerful promotion with producer Prigozhin at the head.

VLAD STASHEVSKY (1993-1999)

Collaboration: The first project of Aizenshpis, molded by him from start to finish and having big success. Taking a handsome, well-mannered guy, Aizenshpis ordered music and lyrics for him. Vlad shot very powerfully, at a certain moment all the broadcasts were his.

The project lasted a long time, since Stashevsky understood what he owed to the producer and did not have grandiose creative claims. Everything was going great until Vlad married the daughter of the owner of Luzhniki, Olga Aleshina.


Reasons for the gap: Alyosha began to blow Stashevsky in the ear that it was better to work without Aizenshpis, she would be the producer and all the money would go to the family.

Aizenshpis tried to stay cheerful:

“My “divorce” with Vlad is the first major one in our show business, which was tactful and peaceful. Without mutual claims, name-calling and boycotts. First time two famous person, producer and artist, have publicly announced that they will cease their collaboration from now on. We did it in the Intermedia office, where we signed a statement for the mass media about the end of the five-year contract and about satisfaction with the results. joint activities. As confirmation of this amazing fact I gave such indisputable evidence of the success of the project as the release of five albums, one hundred songs, seventeen clips and five diplomas of “Songs of the Year” in five years.

It's good that Vlad managed to return to normal life without any "a la Zhenya Osin" pushes.

SASHA (1999-2000)

Collaboration: From a really bright singer, Aizenshpis tried to mold the Russian Madonna (meaning an earthly star, not a heavenly one). The situation was facilitated by the fact that Sasha did not come alone, but with a budget. Pretty soon, songs like "It's just rain" flooded the airwaves.

Reasons for the gap: The philanthropist, who gave money for Sasha, put her to bed, and then began to be jealous, while being married. There were constant troubles.

Aizenshpis recalled:

“On the basis of scandals, there was a constant mess with the ethers. Everything has already been paid for, suddenly at the last moment a call: “Cancel everything!”. I cancel with losses, it’s good that I saved at least some of the money. And suddenly the call came again: “Bring everything back!” And try to explain to him that this is not done!
