Do not confuse her with the heroine of Nabokov's novel, because she is a completely different Lolita: both in form and content. We are talking about a singer from the cabaret duet "Academy". She, Lolita Milyavskaya, is tall; he, Alexander Tsekalo, is short. Together for ten years they made up a charismatic pop couple who became widely known for performing farcical songs. Contrasting appearance allowed them to build their repertoire on the play of comic meanings, and in simple life it was quite a traditional family who came from Ukraine, from the capital of humor - Odessa, to work in Moscow - the center of a wide-spread "web of desires".

Childhood, adulthood

The year of Lolita Markovna Gorelik's birth (1963) did not seem to leave the talented girl hopes for a future other than a purely socialist one. But she was born into an artistic family, and so the young talent did not have to march to the pioneer drums as often as everyone else. Alienation from the bright ideals of communism was reinforced by the fact that most of her childhood Lola lived in the cities of Western Ukraine:

• first in Mukachevo (Transcarpathia), where she was born;
• a year later moving to the Transcarpathian town of Berehovo;
• the girl went to the second grade of school in Lviv.

Lolita's parents were from Western Ukraine, and one of her grandfathers even once held the post of burgomaster of Beregovo, where the family and their little daughter moved soon after her birth. Her mother, Alla Dmitrievna Nikiforova, performed vocal parts in a jazz ensemble; her father, Mark L. Gorelik, worked as an orchestral conductor and entertainer. Both spent a lot of time on tour, and therefore Lola's childhood upbringing was mostly taken care of by her grandparents.

The beginning of the way

The creative biography of Lolita begins after the divorce of parents. Mom began to take with her to performances ten-year-old daughter, who even then demonstrated a good singing talent. The last school years were spent in Kiev, where the girl, and then the girl sang backing vocals for Irina Ponarovskaya (during vacations, the schoolgirl performed with the adult singer and her musical group VIA "Singing Guitars"). Therefore, the direction for further education did not have to look for a long time: after graduating from school Lolita Milyavskaya (at that time - still Gorelik) applies for admission to the Tambov branch of the Moscow Institute of Culture.

Cabaret duet "Academy"

The first official marriage of the future star concludes with Alexander Belyaev, an actor by profession and a man who did a lot for the blossoming of her talent. This marital union lasted a short time, the reason for this, apparently, was the meeting with Alexander Tsekalo. Lolita after graduation (1985) becomes a staff artist of the Odessa Philharmonic, where she meets the second member of the cabaret duet "Academy". Together they begin to perform conversational miniatures; later the purely verbal genre was transformed into song vaudeville.

Lolita got her "stage" surname - Miliavskaya - from her second husband, with whom she claimed to be legally married (1986) in order to obtain a Moscow residence permit. Indeed, it is hard to believe that a woman who performs on stage with a man - the father of the future child, so simply marry a man you don't know. It is much later Lolita becomes a "star without complexes", and before meeting with all the psychoses of the capital's show business in her personal life, and on stage, she was - quite modest, soft, even a little shy.

Creative and family union

Alexander Tsekalo became the father of her only child, a daughter Eva, and also the person thanks to whom the creative biography of the singer went far beyond the format of local concerts and low-paid performances. Until the end of the nineties, the duet "Academy" often appeared on TV screens, not only when showing concert numbers, but also in other television broadcasts:

• "Good Morning, Country!"
• "Morning Post."
• "TV Pizza."

Lolita Milyavskaya continued to appear on television together with Alexander Tsekalo even after their family broke up. The project "Academy" turned out to be too profitable to transfer the problems of personal life to a business that brings good money. Lolita's discography of the "academic" period is known to listeners for cheerful memorable hits:

• "You want to, but you are silent";
• "I'm offended";
• "Over a Beer";
• "Toma."

Further biography of Lolita Milyavskaya consists of a combination of solo career and a rich personal life.

After all

The singer was married a total of five times, she has no other children, except for a daughter from Alexander Tsekalo. The fifth legal husband, athlete Dmitry Ivanov is younger than his wife by eleven years. Lolita has changed her stage style several times, from epathetic and shameless to categorically strict, and for a long creative life has recorded several albums, the list of which can be found on the website kontramarka.de.
