In the 90s and today: how the kings of Russian dance floors have changed
They were replaced by new heroes and rhythms, but still we still don't mind dancing to "London, Goodbye", "There is Happiness" or "Lonely Moon". These hits have remained unchanged in our memory, which cannot be said about their authors.

Bogdan Titomir, 50 years old
Last month, in honor of his anniversary, Titomir appeared in the studio of Ivan Urgant's evening show and proved that he is still the same cool and outrageous guy as we recognized him as part of the "exotic pop duo" "Kar-Man". Journalist Leonid Parfenov, talking about the artist, called him the personification of the era of the 90s, and Titomir himself disowns high-profile titles and calls himself Bo.
Sergey Lemokh, 51 years old
Titomir's colleague in "Car-Man" is still officially part of the team, but at the same time he is developing his own rock band Carbonrock. Unlike his former partner, Lemoh became a father: the artist has two daughters.
Dolphin, 45 years old
The guys from the trio "Bachelor Party" rapped about big breasts, sex without a break, pornography, clofelin and striptease. And it was shown on TV, put on school discos, and the children's ensemble "Restless" performed with a parody of the song "Sex without a break".
Mutabor, 45 years old
Pavel Galkin, a faithful companion of the Dolphin in the "Bachelor Party", took a pseudonym for himself, inspired by a spell from the Soviet cartoon "The Caliph Stork". Together with Andrey Lysikov, Mutabor took part in the depressive project "Oak Guy", and after the departure of the Dolphin from the "Bachelor Party", he continued to work in the group with Andrey Kotov (aka Dan).
Mr. Short, 38 years old
The 13-year-old audacious rapper, who promoted alcohol and drugs in the early 90s, grew up and founded the Generation Yoga project, within which he arranges free yoga classes in his native St. Petersburg.
Lada Dance, 47 years old
Thanks to Lada Dance, we all knew that we needed to live in a buzz! Her songs "Girl-Night" and "Reggae in the night" are still put on discos, although Lada has not recorded albums for a long time. After her singing career began to decline in the late 90s, Lada began acting in films.
Lika Star, 44 years old
One of the first Russian girls to appear on the cover of Russian Playboy, the mistress of Vladimir Presnyakov and the heroine of the legendary clip. Fedor Bondarchuk, Sergey "Spider" Troitsky, Gosha Kutsenko, Masha Tsigal and others starred in "Lonely Moon". But the beauty's meteoric career ended with the birth of her first child — son Artemy — in 1995. After that, the singer tried to start again, opening a production studio, but in the early 2000s she left Russia altogether, marrying an Italian businessman. From her second husband, Lika gave birth to a daughter and a son (the youngest boy is now 6 years old). The former singer combines the upbringing of children with the organization of gastronomic tours to Sardinia.
Organic Lady, 55 years old
It was not difficult for Svetlana Kushnir, the wife of producer Igor Sorokin, to start a career in show business. Not only because she, like many stars of the 90s, was the wife of an influential person, but also because of her talent. Her "Give me love" sounds relevant to this day, and who knows what heights Kushnir would have achieved if not for her neglect of the organizational side of her project.
DJ Groove, 45 years old
"There is happiness, it can't be" — in 1996, Groove mixed this recognition from the mouth of Mikhail Gorbachev with a house rhythm. And woke up famous. Not a single disco in the space of the former Soviet Union was complete without tracks by Evgeny Rudin, and today the creativity of the Groove is not forgotten. Now the DJ lives in his second marriage and continues to perform.
