Boris Moiseev smokes a cigarette behind a cigarette - the fourth has already gone in an hour. Smoking him is contraindicated. In December 2010, the singer suffered an ischemic stroke, after which he had a paralyzed left body. Six months later, Boris Mikhailovich returned to the stage, but even now, after four years and hundreds of performances, he had not yet been rehabilitated. Not all facial muscles work for him and speech is difficult. Therefore, Moiseev speaks with minted phrases of aphorisms of two or three words, which, hiding efforts, sticks into the interlocutor as pins. “I want to live! I want to eat! " - Moiseev shouts in response to my question why, after a shock, he will not go on a well -deserved rest, but loads himself with concerts. Second pause. Then, in the eyes of Boris Moiseev, crazy sparks flash, and he laughs hoarsely.
The humor here is that the artist-provocateur eats little and denies himself everything, not counting the nicotine diet. “I don't want to be old! Fat! - postulates Moiseev. “Look at me!” The singer, who has just exchanged the seventh ten, smoothly rises from the couch - goes to the point to the center of the room, rises on the socks, sinks, then slowly turns 90 degrees around its axis, demonstrating a tightened stomach and ballet posture. Boris Moiseev is dressed in a tight-fitting black home suit, a long yellow scarf is carelessly tied on the neck, on the legs-slippers Y-3. We meet at his house - in a dumbing Luzhkovsky palace on a garden ring. Moiseev’s small apartment looks tiny with an abundance of disproportionately large things, shoved into the interior: a huge crystal chandelier, a pretentious bed, covered with animal skins, a massive leather corner, giant plasma on the wall and marble tables, forced by all sorts of things - from the statuette of the god Hanesha to the apparatus to measure pressure.
While the scene holds me, it needs to be used!
The singer who stretched out in Frunt, Boravites from the corner of the room Antique Hero with a careless bristle on a white face-this is a bust of the young Bori Moiseeva, fashioned by the son of the People's Artist Shilov once in the 1990s. Boris Mikhailovich now has another person, altered by plastic operations and stroke, but the presentation, accumulated over the years of ballet school and stage work, remained the same, dramatic - the chin up, the chest forward, the eyes of the scrap. Even in slippers, he looks as if he froze on the boat.
“Bori has a schedule on the refrigerator, what he needs to do in the near future,” Sergeyev administrator Sergey, a imposing well -groomed man in a leather jacket and black pants with barely noticeable black stripes, returns to the conversation. - The worst time for him is when there are free windows. He does not like to relax - a maximum of three days can lie in the sun. He loves when he has a job. ”
Sergey, a graduate of the Kyiv circus school, has been working with Boris Moiseev since 1991, and first met him back in 1984, in his 6th grade, after Moiseev spent him at the concert of Alla Pugacheva, who came on tour in Vilnius. Administrator Sergei tells how workaholism returned Moiseev to the stage as soon as possible after the illness: on December 18, the honored artist of Russia had a blow, on February 3 he was discharged from the hospital for rehabilitation, on April 17 he first appeared in public - at the concert of Kristina Orbakaite (“On the birthday of Alla Borisovna”), and on July 22 he sang on the Yurmal “New Wave”. “And he escaped from the hospital,” Sergey continues to love his boss in love in love in love. - He calls me and says: come! I come - and he is already worth a dressed. In the hands - a TV and a wallet. Everything, he says, it's time to go home. He then lived in a country house, because this apartment was still repairing. So he came here every day, sat down on a chair and rushed the workers to finish it faster. ”
"As long as the scene holds me, it must be made!" - Boris Mikhailovich pronounces the longest maxim during our conversation. Moiseev’s stage experience has been going on since the 1970s-a young dancer, who was born in Mogilev and studied in Kharkov, worked at the Kaunas Musical Theater, then became the choreographer of the Trimitas Lithuanian Orchestra led by the Mindauugas of Koskushyunas (“He has already died!”-Sacramentally remarks BM). In 1978, he created the dance trio "Expression", the frivolous choreographic numbers of which under foreign hits became a hit of the Lithuanian television program for midnight. With the “Expression” trio - with the same numbers, movements and costumes - Boris Moiseev and his partner Lary Khitan and Lyudmila Chesnulyavichuta became stars of the Soviet Union, moving to Alla Pugacheva’s show and appeared in her film “Came and I say”. At Pugacheva, Moses worked for almost 10 years (until 1987) and began to sing with her filing-on a backing vocal.

In perestroika, the Expression trio began a foreign career - performances in clubs of France, Italy and the USA. Then Boris Moiseev was in the post of choreographer of the Municipal Theater of New Orleans, but, according to Sergey, he did not take away the longing for his homeland and escaped from the States, breaking the contract and paying the penalty. In 1992, Moiseev restarts the career of the Expression trio in Moscow and puts the choreographic show “Boris Moiseev and its ladies” in the Russia concert hall, where Laima Vaikule, Irina Otieva, Tamara Gverdtsiteli, Irina Ponarovskaya, Valery’s debutant and a letter in support of the State Emergency Committee Sovetskaya Diva sang Lyudmila Zykina. The performance, named for the fashion of that time, "Erotic Elit-Show", goes twice a day with Angels. Boris Moiseyev took a loan of 15 thousand dollars for the production of the first show from Joseph Kobzon, who is honored as a holy patron-his portrait stands on an iconostasis chest of drawers next to a group photo with Vladimir Putin, on whose birthday he carried his show to the President’s residence on Valdai, and with an psychic Anatoly Kashpirovsky, healing people. Moiseev’s hit "Asterisk" .

After the success of the Erotic Elit show, Boris Moiseev puts new performances every six months: behind a joint program with German discses Boney M , in which he panted their full -time dancer Bobby Farrell (“Bobby died!” - BM again inserts a show based on the songs of Freddie Mercury. In the Hungry to the entertainment of Russia, the performances of Moiseev, where the “company” was felt-the imported spirit of freedom and the musical-chill tradition, looked like a cultural breakthrough. “When Borya was pulled out in the 92nd year on stage in the coffin, carrying through the entire concert hall, it was a shock,” says Sergey. - With us he became the ancestor of the musical show. Nobody did this before him. Now Lady Gaga is trying to repeat the things that Borya took place in the 1990s-provocations, costumes, dressing. We look at it with a smile. ” According to Sergey, in his productions, Moiseev worked for the director, choreographer, costume artist, scenographer and producer: “All ideas for the show were Borina - songs, images, costumes, dancing, decorations. He came up with everything himself, and the artists only realized his ideas, giving his vision. No one helped him. No one invested in it. ”
“Not a single penny! - Boris Mikhailovich confirms hoarsely. Then suddenly blurts out: - Light! " The singer who was in peace begins to fiddle restlessly on the couch, pooping his finger towards the kitchen: “Light! Light!"
"What do you want?" - Sergey is amazed, then he is caught and go to the kitchen to extinguish the light. “Electricity is heating,” he says on the go. - Therefore, Borya is closely following this. He beat all records and in this house for electricity pays the least - 700 rubles a month. ” Boris Moiseev smiles rather these words, sitting under a huge crystal chandelier.
Boris Moiseev denies his camming out.
In 1995, Boris Moiseev puts the show “Child of Vice”, who declared him as an anomalous singer who does not interfere that he is a dancer. The “child of the vice”, who sang endless sexual freedom and the distinction of differentness, is a symbolic ribbon that the Russian society of the 1990s cut in a short-lived desire for libertinism. With the help of the popular poet and composer Viktor Chaika Boris Moiseev, he mixed all the flowers of evil available to him - provocative texts, camp crinolines, foggy moans and sticky Eurosodens like Army of Lovers and Dr. Alban (to direct quotes), and in response received stormy and prolonged applause. The performance, at which the singer Boris Moiseev was attached to the ticket of the same name, withstood eight Anges in the Kopornny Doroninsky Moscow Art Theater on Tver Boulevard-the entire ex-Soviet cultural elite, from the patron saint of Joseph Kobzon, to the great dancer of Mahmud Esambayev. The doubted Moses in female tights, boots and Zhabo battered his libido men in the hall-he fidgeted their knees and threw legs on his shoulders, but there were no insulted in feelings: the free 1990s stood in the yard.
“He was a ridiculous story with him,” recalls the famous show Sergei-administrator. - At the advertising poster Borya was presented in two images: in a men's suit and in a red female dress, like a child of vice. Tatyana Doronina saw the poster and exclaimed: “It cannot be! How is it possible! We have a theater - a temple of art!” Borya says: Okay, I will change everything - and the next day brings the same poster in which these photos are rearranged - from right to left. Doronina looks at the poster for a long time, and then says: “Well, Borya, I told you - it’s a completely different matter.”
Another visiting card of Moiseev-a duet with Nikolai Trubach "Blue Moon"-appeared in 1998 and was also first accepted with a bang. The premiere of the song took place in the traditional pop television show “Song of the Year”, which has existed since Soviet times, was immediately picked up by radio stations and went to the people. The Blue Moon, a strange ballad of tolerance, sounds obscenely bold in the current neoconservative times, so now, when Moses sings this song at concerts, the audience perplexedly perplexed .
When Borya was pulled out in the 92nd year on stage in the coffin, carrying through the entire concert hall-it was a shock!
Boris Moiseev is sometimes called the only Russian pop artist who recognized his unconventional sexual orientation. They say that he did this back in 1991, barely returning from the States, in an interview with the newspaper Arguments and Facts. Moiseev himself denies his camming out. “Borya never openly spoke about this anywhere,” Sergey explains for the boss. - This is always his provocations. Yes, this glory is following him. He does not unsubscribe from her, but does not confirm. "
"Yes!" - says Boris Mikhailovich on a deep exhalation.
"Did not recognize in homosexuality?" I clarify.
"No!" - Still passionately breathing, BM nods.
“He did not admit,” Sergey laughs. “This is the audience.”
Until the early 2000s, Boris Moiseev allowed himself to encourage and provoke the audience, flirting with the topic of non-traditional relations- he was homoerotically joked about the army , significantly walked with Joseph Kobzon and declared himself a surgically modified amphibian person . He was unpredictable Loki in the pantheon of the forgotten gods of the Soviet-Russian pop and deftly enjoyed the reputation of the inviolable Frick, which had developed since the 1980s. By the way, Moiseev continues to be mischievous and now - he is still capable of a salty joke in the spirit of Sergei Shnurov, as in the recent song “I am a balnik” recorded with the A - Dessa project. But, having caught the changes in the air of public life, in the zero Boris Moiseev folded off the title of “shocking king” and concentrated on ordinary love ballads. On the last album, released after the stroke, “Pastor”, Boris Moiseev (on the cover-in Black Sutan) is sensibly sings that for the sake of one and only ready to become the best of men, and then completely gets into the evangelist messages that we need to love everyone and forgive everyone. It could be assumed that this tricster artist pricked the parody of the Orthodox chansonnier Stas Mikhailov, if the full halls of the ladies, enchanted by promises of love were not gathering for Moiseev’s concerts. Eyewitnesses claim that after a stroke, slowly moving around the stage against the backdrop of a prancing ballet, Moses can completely subjugate the hall - this is the power of his animal magnetism, which did not paralyze.
A member of United Russia Boris Mikhailovich Moiseev told a lot of monstrous about his life.
"You are married?" - Boris Mikhailovich flirtingly asks me from the leather sofa, releasing another portion of smoke into a crystal chandelier.
"Yes!" - I say a lie.
"Sorry!" - flashing his eye, says the lie Moiseev.
We, the three of us with Sergey, laugh a sprose.
Boris Moiseev knows what love for a woman is. The main woman in his life is a mother, Genya Borisovna Moiseeva (Moyses), who would be 100 years old this year. Her portrait stands on the bedside table at the head of the bed covered with skins. Every day, Boris Mikhailovich communicates with his mother through the portrait. Her death in 1989 became a tragedy for him, from which he, as it seems, has not yet recovered. “When she died, Borya was on tour in America on a contract from the state -inscroll,” says Sergey. - He was not informed about death so as not to interrupt the contract. He learned about this only after the tour and came to her grave. And he felt that she was dying - that day he wrote to her a letter that never reached the addressee. ”
Wikipedia reports that Boris Moiseev’s memory dedicated the song “Dumb Love” - supposedly because Genya Borisovna was killed by the deaf -mute, which was mistaken in the door. So Libertin, who turned into a preacher, repeatedly spoke in an interview. A member of United Russia Boris Mikhailovich Moiseev talked about his life a lot of monstrous: about how he was conceived by his mother in order to leave the zone under amnesty; as he almost died in infancy in the machines of a leather factory; How his mother dressed him up in dresses because she wanted a girl, and how he was not recognized by his siblings; As in childhood for beauty and Jewish origin was subjected to humiliation and violence in the yard. Not everything that Moses says, we must believe. A born artist willingly confesses that he is a dreamer and a storyteller who believes in his own fables. However, the plots of Moiseev’s stories are clearly based on real events - they do not shock those who found the USSR and drank everyday horrors of provincial life. Childhood and youth spent in a repressive-conservative environment broke many people non-standard from nature. Moiseeva pulled a phenomenal love for life to the surface - both from Mogilev and from the grave. Apparently, this love is the only one that all his songs are dedicated to - about which he sang both as a child of vice and as the best of men.
By the fall of 2015, Boris Moiseev is going to release a new album, and the next year-the “choreographic-dramatic” show for ballet, where he wants to include all his best numbers in his career. The name of the album has already been invented: "I can, I want and I will live!"
