Prokhor Andreevich Chaliapin (Russian: Про́хор Андре́евич Шаля́пин; born as [1] Andrei Andreevich Zakharenkov Russian: Андре́й Андре́евич Захаре́нков;[2][3][4][5][6] born November 26, 1983, in Volgograd) is a Russian singer, media personality and television presenter. Chaliapin first became known as a finalist on the sixth season of the Russian musical reality programme Fabrika Zvyozd.

Early life[]

Chaliapin was born as Andrei Zakharenkov in Volgograd on November 26, 1983.[3][7] His mother was a cook, and his father, a steelworker.[8] In many interviews, Chaliapin acknowledged that he endured a challenging childhood due to his father's problems with alcoholism and schizophrenia.[9][10] His parents divorced when he was nine.[11] As a result of a then deteriorating relationship with his mother and new step-father, Chaliapin moved in with paternal grandparents.[12] In 1996, his maternal grandmother and aunt were murdered in their apartment in Volgograd; Chaliapin was the first one to discover the murder scene.[13] Initially, charges were pressed against both his parents, leaving Chaliapin to be sent to an orphanage. However, after three days, charges were dropped and his mother returned home.[14] A few months later, Chaliapin became involved in a serious car accident.[14]

Chaliapin was involved in music from a young age. He started playing bayan and entered a local music school, but was expelled after a few years.[15] In the fifth grade, he became a soloist of the Russian folk band "Vyunok" and moved from the regular school to the Central School of Art at the Volgograd branch of the Samara Academy of Arts and Culture.[3] At the age of 15, Chaliapin auditioned to enter the State Music and Pedagogical Institute named after M. Ippolitov-Ivanov at the department of "Folk singing".[4][16] Chaliapin was enrolled in the programme with a full scholarship.[17] With this, he also moved to Moscow.[14]

After graduating from the institute, he applied to the same department at the Gnessin Musical College, where he managed to enroll.[6] His tution fees were sponsored.[18]

Music career[]

Early career[]

From 1991 to 1996, Chaliapin was known as a child singer and as one of the soloists of the vocal show group "Jam", where he sang along with Irina Dubtsova, Tanya Zaikina (Monokini) and Sofia Taih.[4][19] With the show group, he performed at different events in Volgograd, where the group enjoyed local popularity. Chaliapin also took part in several television recordings with the group. In 1996, he wrote his first song "Nerealniy son".[20]

After moving to Moscow, Chaliapin applied to the casting of Morning Star. He was eventually asked to apppear as a replacement in one broadcast after a boy fell ill in 1999.[15] At the broadcast, he sang "Nerealniy son" and "Ne otrekayutsa lyuba", taking the third place.[4]

Chaliapin subsequently took part in various musical competitions. In 2005, at the contest "Star Chance", held in New York, he sang the song "Odna kalyna" by Sofia Rotaru in Ukrainian and took the third place.[21]

Nationwide breakthrough[]

In 2005, Chaliapin officially changed his name to Prokhor Andreevich Chaliapin.[22] In the same year he released his debut album Volshebnaya skripka, which was produced by Viktor Drobysh.[7][19][23]

Chaliapin had unsuccessfully auditioned for the first, third and fifth season of Fabrika Zvyozd. In the fifth season, Chaliapin made it to the last audition round, where he was personally rejected by Alla Pugacheva, who told him that letting Chaliapin on the show would be sycophantic.[24] Chaliapin eventually became a contestant in the sixth series of the show, which was under moderation of Drobysh.[1]

For his frivolous behaviour and one-liners, Chaliapin quickly became an audience favourite and a widely discussed participant. His most famous one-liner became "You are stars, but I am a legend!" (Вы – звёзды, а я – легенда!). He also attracted negative attention by posing as the descendant of the famous opera singer Feodor Chaliapin.[3][5][25][26] Chaliapin was nominated four times, more than any other contestant, but was saved each time. Twice, Chaliapin was saved by public vote, once by contestants' vote and once by the veto of the producer. In the end of the competition, Chaliapin reached the final, finishing fourth behind Zara, Arseniy Borodin and Dmitry Koldun.

After Fabrika Zvyozd[]

After Fabrika Zvyozd, Prokhor Chaliapin's producer was Victor Drobysh.[27] Parting with Drobysh in 2007 was held with mutual accusations and scandals.[28][29]

After the end of the Fabrika Zvzyod tour, Prokhor Chaliapin began to conduct an active solo tour activity, including abroad. In 2008, his first video for the song "Serdtse.com" was released.[4] In the same year, the singer graduated from the Gnessin State Musical College. His diploma was dedicated to the use of Russian folk songs in the work of Feodor Chaliapin.[30][31]

In 2011, Chaliapin portrayed Boris Shtokolov in the television series Zhukov.[32] In 2013, Chaliapin released his second album Legenda. In 2014, he starred as recurring character Lyova in the television series Kurazh.[33]

In 2019, Chaliapin performed at the festive concert dedicated to second anniversary of the complete destruction of chemical weapons in Russia. During this concert in Volgograd, Chaliapin held a short speech in which he said he wished for a peaceful world without war. For his performance, he earned the medal "For Coorporation in the Field of Chemical Disarmament".[34]

In 2021, Chaliapin was a guest on a special broadcast of , hosted by Andrey Malakhov on Russia-1, dedicated to Russian folk songs.[35]

Television appearances[]

Chaliapin in 2013.

Between 2012 and 2020, Chaliapin was a regular guest of Russian sensationalist shows as Live on Air, Let Them Talk and Actually, becoming a popular and widely discussed personality in Russian yellow press. After Fabrika Zvyozd, Chaliapin first appeared in a broadcast of Live on Air in 2012, where he and his then girlfriend discussed their relationship in an unconventional manner.[36] The broadcast did well in the ratings, which posed the producers to reinvite Chaliapin as a guest on their show in subsequent broadcasts.

In 2013, Chaliapin appeared in a broadcast in which he announced that he would marry 57-year-old business woman and media personality Larisa Kopenkina.[37] The broadcast became a part of a media circus around the couple.[38][39] In early 2015, in a broadcast of Let Them Talk, the two announced that their relationship had been fake and a PR stunt.[40][41] Instead, Chaliapin announced that he had a child with another woman, model Anna Kalashnikova, which was born to the couple in March 2015. In a 2016 broadcast of Let Them Talk, where Chaliapin and Kalashnikova tried to prove that the child Kalashnikova bore was Chaliapin's, it was found that Chaliapin was 0% likely to be the child's father.[42] The result of the DNA test led to a new media circus around Chaliapin's persona. The video in which Chaliapin receives his negative DNA test was watched more than 15 million times on YouTube.[43]

In late 2016, Chaliapin returned with a new broadcast on Live on Air, in which he first discussed his bad childhood experiences on television and showed his teenage companion.

In 2018, Chaliapin again became a popular topic in the yellow press after appearing alongside Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, the former wife of famous actor Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. This led to increased appearances of Chaliapin on sensationalist shows again. In a broadcast of New Russian Sensations in June 2019, a discussion between Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya and her lawyer escalated to fisticuffs, also involving Chaliapin, who tried to de-escalate the situation.[44]

Between 2018 and 2020, Chaliapin presented the weather forecast on NTV on weekend days. In 2018, he also debuted his own travel show, titled GoProshka on YouTube.[45]

Personal life[]

Chaliapin first married at the age of 18 to a classmate three years his senior, but divorced after three years.[1] Between 2011 and 2012, he dated singer and model Adelina Sharipova.[46][47] On December 3, 2013, 30-year-old Prokhor Chaliapin married 58-year-old entrepreneur Larisa Kopenkina,[48][49][50] whom he met in early 2013 while on holiday in Jamaica.[51] The singer's mother was actively against the wedding.[2][52][53] The two had an open marriage.[54] The couple separated in late 2014 and their marriage was annulled officially in early 2015.[55]

On December 15, 2014, Prokhor Chaliapin officially stated on the talk show Let Them Talk he was expecting a child together with then 30-year-old singer and model Anna Kalashnikova.[56] In a release dated April 20, 2016, the results of a DNA test showed that their common child[57][58] is not the biological son of Chaliapin.[59] Their planned wedding in May 2016 was left cancelled as the couple separated. From 2018 to late 2019, Chaliapin had a companionship with pianist Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya.[60]

In the summer of 2021, Chaliapin married his wife, a Canadian citizen,[61][62] in a secret and private ceremony in Las Vegas.[62][63]

After rumours circled around his sexuality in 2014, Chaliapin acknowledged that he "loves all people" and that he thinks that the LGBT community should be protected. He said: "I like it that everyone likes me. Hate is one step away from love. Beautiful! Love me friends. I support all people. Especially sexual minorities who need it today."[64] He previously spoke out his support for Conchita Wurst's win at Eurovision 2014.[65]
