Interview with Olga Serebryakova. Olga Seryabkina: “I want to live with a man, but this does not mean that I have a desire to get married
(until the beginning of 2019), is now building a solo career under the pseudonym Molly and writing poetry.
Childhood
Olga Seryabkina was born on April 12, 1985 in the very heart of Moscow - on Taganka, in the family of Yuri and Lyudmila Seryabkin. My father was a military man, and my mother was an engineer. The girl's grandparents lived with them. She also has a younger brother Oleg. 
From the age of six, Olya was engaged in ballroom dancing. Already at that time, she demonstrated firmness of character and over and over again refuted the doubts of teachers, who at first did not believe in the success of the baby in the choreographic field. “When I first came to the dance, they didn’t want to take me - they decided that I didn’t have a sense of rhythm,” Olga recalled. But later she proved the opposite and even became the coach's favorite. At the age of 12, she became a CCM in ballroom dancing.
The girl managed to combine dancing classes and almost excellent school performance. In the final certificate, she had only three fours, although, as Seryabkina admitted, she had a pronounced penchant for humanitarian subjects - Russian, English, literature, but in the exact sciences she sometimes had to "negotiate" with teachers.
Not with bribes, but with activism - Olya was the first in everything related to amateur performances and school self-government. In her free time, she loved to compose poems and small skits, which she played in front of her parents.
Olga's family was poor, which is why the future singer and several other guys in the class were mercilessly hounded by students from wealthier families.
At 17, Olga graduated from high school and began studying linguistics at the Institute of International Law and Economics. She was one of the most promising students of the course and after graduation she became a certified simultaneous interpreter in both English and German. But by that time, she already knew for sure that she would not work in her specialty. 
First steps to fame
In 2002, freshman Olga, who had been doing ballroom dancing all her life, got into RnB classes. She liked it, and she decided to continue working in this direction. Soon she starred in Dima Bilan's video "Mulatto" (the girl at the bar). 
In 2004, Seryabkina was invited to a thematic festival, where she met dancer Ilshat Shabaev. He appreciated Olga's abilities and invited her to dance with the singer Irakli Pirtskhalava, a graduate of the second Star Factory. At one of the first rehearsals, Seryabkina met producer Max Fadeev. He asked the girl if she could sing, then she, overcoming embarrassment, showed the producer her poems. Then Fadeev revealed his cards: he recruited a new project for a female pop group and invited Olga to audition.
SEREBRO
In 2006, painstaking work began on the song material, the images of the participants and the concept of the group, which, in addition to Olga, included the "manufacturer" Elena Temnikova and Maria Lizorkina. A year later, the group took third place in the Eurovision Song Contest. During this period, Seryabkina first tried herself as a lyricist for the team. After participating in an international competition, the girl group woke up famous. 
Now Seryabkina's songs are performed not only by the Silver members, but also by the China group, Yulya Savicheva, Glucose. For 12 years, Olga worked fruitfully in the Fadeev group, constantly delighting fans with new hits. After the departure of Elena Temnikova from the group in May 2014, the unofficial leadership in the "Silver" passed to Seryabkina. She won the love of the audience not only with her powerful energy, but also with frank images - by that time, Serebro began to focus on the sexuality of the participants.
In September of the same year, Seryabkina began to build a solo career, not forgetting, however, about Silver. Her debut as a solo artist, who took the pseudonym Holy Molly (later shortened to Molly), was a duet with DJ M.E.G. "Kill Me All Night Long". Subsequently, she repeatedly delighted fans with new singles, incl. recorded together with Purulent, Yegor Creed, Big Russian Boss.

In December 2015, the audience met the actress Seryabkina. She played one of the key roles in the comedy "The Best Day Ever". Her heroine is the provincial singer Alina Shepot, who crashed into the car of police officer Petya (Dmitry Nagiev).

In 2017, the Eksmo publishing house released on the shelves a poetry collection by Olga Seryabkina “A Thousand Ms”, which included 54 poems. “... A subtle feminine world where every reader will find himself - wounded, in love, desperate, inspired,” the annotation accompanying the book stated.
Solo career
In October 2018, Olga Seryabkina announced her departure from Silver. The singer's contract with the group was valid until the beginning of 2019.She stressed that she does not leave Fadeev's Malfa label - Molly will promote the brand under his name. The singer also promised an early release of her debut solo album and new material for Serebro.
In January 2019, the first video for the song from the upcoming album Molly was released. For this responsible business, the composition "Because Love" was chosen. There was a joint photo of Seryabkina and Yegor Creed on the preview of the video on YouTube, so the words “Well, why not with me? Why are you with someone else? I’ll pretend that I’m home, all because love ”was regarded as an explanation of feelings for Creed.
In the spring of 2019, on a “beautiful” date, April 4 (April 4), Olga Seryabkina presented her debut solo album, Killer Whale in the Sky. The track list of the album consisted of 14 tracks, of which the most memorable, according to music critics, were the songs "Orca", "Just Love You", "Don't Be Afraid" and the song "Scattering Silver" with Max Fadeev.Molly ft. Max Fadeev - Scattering Silver
"Scattering Silver" is the result of 12 years of Olga's performances as part of "Silver" and the beginning of a new era as a solo artist Molly. “When you leave [from the Silver group - approx .. Because I know that this is not a loss ...”, Fadeev commented on the premiere of this track.
This album is me. Today. Now. The music in it is completely saturated with me and love,” says Olga about “Orca in the Sky”, not hiding the fact that she associates herself with the orca. The album, in principle, turned out to be very personal. While working on the material, Seryabkina did not adhere to any concept, but simply transferred to paper and notes what she was experiencing at the moment. That is why the songs turned out to be so different in genre and meaning.
In May, a video for the song “I Don’t Cry” was released. As Olga admitted, she was inspired to create the video by prophetic dreams, in which the singer believes. So, once she dreamed about how she was running away from a pack of dogs, and after that something terrible happened (what exactly, the singer does not comment). This dream was inspired by the scene from the video “I don’t cry”, only Olga put a different meaning into it: “Let the dogs go = let go of fears. When they run, I am free too.
Molly - don't cry
A month later, a video for the song "Beautiful Boy" appeared on YouTube, after which Fadeev and Seryabkina were convicted of plagiarism from the Tatu group and their song "Gay Boy", the meaning of these compositions was very similar.
The history of the creation of "Beautiful Boy" is autobiographical. In her youth, Olga Seryabkina became close to a handsome young man. They became best friends, shared everything intimate. Olga felt that she had fallen in love, so when a friend confessed to her doubts about her own orientation, she was depressed, but over time she "overcame this stage." Olga, in principle, is known as a supporter of the LGBT community and rightly believes that love knows no boundaries.
Personal life of Olga Seryabkina
Seryabkina's personal life gives rise to a lot of rumors and speculation. So, all the media wrote about the unconventional relationship of Olga Seryabkina and Lena Temnikova: the girls often kissed in public, which shocked those present. 
And although these actions had one goal - PR, Olga once told reporters that she was bisexual and had affairs with girls in her youth. For this, deputy Vitaly Milonov called her a “AIDS picker” in the show of a popular YouTube blogger.
In 2017, Olga was credited with an affair with Yegor Creed. Rumors began to spread after the premiere of their common track "If You Don't Love Me". However, the singer herself put an end to it: “I don’t have any personal relationships with Yegor, I want to say right away. In general, my heart is now free. More precisely, I like one young man, but he does not know about my sympathy.
Molly ft. Egor Creed - If you don't love me
In the same year, Seryabkina hinted at a relationship with the former star of Doma-2, and now singer Oleg Miami: “Watch today the special issue of the chart, which Olezha and I spent in a new status for us as a couple in love.” However, Oleg's confusing personal life casts doubt on the veracity of their romance.
In October 2018, Olga gave an interview in which she said that she had not been in a serious relationship with anyone for a long time, but now everything has changed. True, the name of the lucky one remained a mystery to the general public.
In terms of relationships, Seryabkina calls herself a marathon runner, not a sprinter: “I harness for a long time, but then it’s for a long time!”.
Like every person, Olga has her own hobbies and oddities. For example, Seryabkina is unreasonably afraid of dolls: such a disease is called pediophobia. Along with this, Olga is fond of cars and likes to drive around the capital at night. Experimenting with one's own appearance is the silver's favorite pastime.Conflict between Seryabkina and Temnikova
After Temnikova left Silver in the spring of 2014, she no longer appeared together with Seryabkina. Fans were perplexed: was their friendship just a well-thought-out legend? 
In 2019, Olga's former colleague Elena Temnikova gave a long interview to Irina Shikhman as part of the YouTube show "What about talking? ..". The release without a twinge of conscience can be called scandalous, since the singer spoke about the novel by Seryabkina and Fadeev. The relationship between the singer and the producer became one of the reasons for Temnikova's departure from Silver.
Temnikova about Seryabkina
According to Elena, at first she and Seryabkina were best friends, but her relationship with Olga deteriorated three years before leaving the group, when she accidentally found out about the affair between Seryabkina and Fadeev. “All this was kept secret, then hazing and blackmail began through this, everything was hidden for many years and overgrown with lies,” Temnikova claimed.
Fadeev called Temnikova's words "dirty rumors from the garbage heap." Seryabkina reacted differently: she stated that she had met with Temnikova for 4 years, and her ex-girlfriend's "sensational statements" were nothing more than an attempt to promote herself in the name of "Silver" and the producer of the group.
Our personal relationship was completely different from what she describes in her interviews. Lena and I lived together. We were together, like a girl with a girl. She was my love, not our producer.
Seryabkina called the reason for the quarrel with Temnikova "banal female envy." Allegedly, Olga's personal and professional growth made Elena jealous.In response, Temnikova called Olga's words a "poorly staged fiction" designed to distract the public's attention from the fact of Fadeev's betrayal of his wife with an attractive ward, and suggested that Seryabkina be tested on a lie detector together in Nastya Ivleeva's show
Comment Out: Seryabkina and Transverse
October began for Olga with the filming of the video for the song "Scorched by the Sun". In addition to bathing in a huge amount of gold sequins, the work on the video was remembered by the singer for the need to film herself on her own in one of the scenes. But since Olga has long perceived the camera not as a technique, but as a portal to her fans, there were no problems.
The audience received the clip ambiguously. A large number of critical comments were caused by the abundance of advertising integrations in the video. YouTube users reminded Olga that advertising is inappropriate in the music video. As a result, in two weeks the video failed to gain a million views. However, for Molly, this work was important: “For me, the most important thing is that the sun always shines inside at the maximum. The video has that vibe."
Many people know Olga Seryabkina not only as the headliner of the Serebro group, but also as the author of most of the group's songs. However, due to the sexually provocative image of the performer, it seems that she is rather frivolous and not capable of deep feelings. But as they say, appearances can be deceiving. On April 12, on her birthday, Seryabkina presents her first book "Thousand M", in which the reader will discover the singer from the other side. In a conversation with our portal, Olga told why she is releasing a book, how she was affected by the betrayals of loved ones, and why she likes to remember the suffering she experienced. In addition, our heroine will share one poem from her book.
Many consider Olga Seryabkina a sexy and relaxed girl, and few people saw her as romantic and vulnerable. Loyal fans know that Seryabkina prefers to express her feelings on paper - in songs and poems. So, on April 12, on the birthday of the singer, her first book “Thousand Ms” is published, which includes all the works of the artist over the past few years.
website: Olga, how long have you had the idea to release your book?
The idea to write a book came about a year ago. I periodically post my poems on social networks, where many people follow my work. After another post, a publishing house approached me with a proposal to publish a collection of poems, and it seemed to me that it would be interesting.
O.S.:“I never seriously kept a diary and now I don’t either. Once upon a time, I tried to do this, but I didn’t last long. It seems to me that such diaries are written only to be read by someone one day. But I didn't want that."
But I have been writing poetry for as long as I can remember - this is my personal way of expressing myself.
website: Do your poems reflect only your experiences, or is there a place for fiction?
O.S.: They are just what I personally feel. I did not rely on anyone's experience, I was not inspired by the stories of girlfriends or friends. All the stories in verse are what happened only to me. These are stories about all my successes and failures, and there is no fiction in them. These are my feelings.
website: Among the poems presented in the book is your favorite?
O.S.: Probably yes, there is. I have poems that are especially dear to me. As I read each, I remember a period of time or feelings I had for a person. It's very cool to fix them at the moment when you feel the situation most acutely, because then everything is forgotten. After a while, you no longer remember how you loved, suffered, and poetry gives you the opportunity to preserve this memory.
website: In this book, you also talk about the cruelty of men and the betrayal of your best friend.
O.S.:“Initially, these poems were not intended for publication, I wrote them for myself simply because I could not help but write. That is why they turned out to be very sincere and truthful. Someone runs a hundred meters to relax, and poetry helps me. I pour out all my emotions and words on a piece of paper and it’s like I’m starting to breathe more freely. ”
I never wanted to lecture anyone. When the idea to write a book came up, I did not even begin to correct or remove anything, leaving something more beautiful and aesthetic. I have no need to pretend that everything is fine, I never suffered from anything, did not suffer, and no one betrayed me. I was just being honest with myself and with my readers.
website: Have you often been disappointed in your loved ones on your life path?
O.S.: Yes. In my life it so happened that I was disappointed in both women and men. And more than once. Frankly, I have not learned to defend myself against such situations, and I do not want to do this. I want to feel life to the fullest in all its manifestations. Although, of course, you want to meet sincere people on the way who have no desire to hurt you.
O.S.: At first glance, I get along with people very easily. But, I think, in order to start trusting a person, some time should pass. It seems to me that in order to get close to someone, something unreal must happen. You just have to feel the other person and that's it, trust him.
website: What exactly do you want to convey to the reader with this book?
OS: First of all, what you need to live in truth, not be afraid to admit your feelings, to live and feel for real, not to pretend and not be deceived. There is great power in this.
“We often hide our feelings, ashamed of them or thinking that others will not understand, but it seems to me that this should not be done, otherwise you can miss a large part of life.”
website: On stage you are provocative and daring. After reading this book, will you open up to the reader on the other side?
O.S.: To be honest, I don't know how readers will discover me. It's interesting to me myself. I am very worried: will my book be liked or not? In any case, everything you will read is the truth, so this is the power.
website: You know firsthand what negative reviews and comments are. If your book is spoken badly, how do you react to criticism?
O.S.: If my book gets negative reviews, I won't care, that's for sure. I will worry, but, on the other hand, I will try to make it a motivation for future improvements.
O.S.: Yes, I'm quite a vulnerable person, even very. And I want to note that I don’t have any image at all. I hate it when people say that, because I don’t do anything on purpose.
“My art is my feelings. Music for me is sex in all its manifestations, music for me is love in all its manifestations. That is why it is different depending on the mood. I'm not trying to be deliberately vulnerable and provocative."
website: In your interviews, you have repeatedly said that you do not strive to get married, but a family is important to every person. In that case, what or who is replacing her for you today?
O.S.: For me, having a family and being married are two different things. Of course, I want to live with a man and always have one person nearby, but this does not mean that I have a fundamental desire to get married (at least for now). This is the only difference. Everything else I have like any ordinary girl.
Especially for the site, Olga Seryabkina shared a previously unpublished poem from her book:
The demons were crying in my ear
Rocking to the beat.
And so that the heart is discouraged,
One step forward, one step back...
My friends are sai
They are my accomplices
To close my eyes forever
They must have been given to me...
I want grapes
Stomp your feet until dark
As long as I'm with you cool
Pulls like a sleeve...
When I stand at the threshold
Which time, like a faithful dog,
Then my anxiety will go away
I'll wipe the rain from my tears...
I'm so afraid to hear the whole yar,
But the demons howl loudly to the beat,
They still breathe so menacingly
Vie with each other inspiring fear ...
There is so little of the Universe in me,
But I'm looking for it in myself
I will always be true to my word
I always ask her about him ...

Sex bomb - well, this is definitely about her. Few of the representatives of the domestic show business can compete with the leader of the SEREBRO group, Olga SERYABKINA, in the number of provocative photos on the Web. But the girl is still with her head! A professional translator from English and German is not a mosquito sneezing for you. Meanwhile, nothing is known about the personal life of Olya, who is the author of the texts of almost all the group's hits.
The reason for our meeting was the film debut of Serebyakina - she starred in the comedy "The Best Day", which will be released in December. Maybe that's how the stars lay down, or just the sun was shining too kindly, but our conversation turned out to be surprisingly very frank. You've definitely never seen Olya like this!
Movie star career - all right. But for a professional translator to sing frivolous songs from the stage in shorts ...
When they found out at the institute that I preferred the career of a singer, they were very offended. I had a specialization "simultaneous interpreter" - this is the most difficult thing in the profession of an interpreter. They thought that I was burying talent in the ground. By the way, the Library of Foreign Languages still has a film about France, for which I wrote all the subtitles. Well, now about underpants… Firstly, underpants alone are not enough to give positive emotions to a large number of people. And secondly, it is important for me to feel free on stage. If they try to put me in some kind of framework, I will definitely try to break everything. I have a lot of this energy, and I'm not going to hide it.
- Energy of sex?
Yes, this is my favorite element! If the music isn't sexy, I'm not interested in it at all. But all these stockings, bodysuits and so on do not make me available at all. You know, I'm not afraid to reach out to the audience from the stage. Many artists are very afraid - they will suddenly be dragged into the crowd. The most inflamed fan takes my hand very carefully. If, for example, I now completely undress in front of you, you will not dare to approach me and behave familiarly!
(“What a fool!” I scolded myself after the interview. “I should have immediately offered an experiment, but I slowed down something!”)

Well, enough about the stage, Olya! I am sure that you fully realize yourself sexually in your personal life, about which you do not tell anything.
I consider myself a one-man. Not in the sense that all my life I love one person. But after parting, it is very difficult for me to switch to another. I've never had a quickie or a one night stand. I have to feel emotions for a person. And it takes more than one day of dating.
Is there such a person around now?
Unfortunately no. Not so long ago I broke up with a famous musician, he is about the same age as me. I can’t name him, we agreed never to talk about each other. To be honest, I never planned to meet the artist…
- Well, of course! It is much better with a businessman, a banker ...
Yes, this is where it comes from! Well, I had a boyfriend, 25 years old, had a small business. It's all nonsense, I'm quite independent. It's just, you know, pushing in the morning in front of a mirror with a man ... But still, fate brought me together with a colleague. Cool, fun. Which as a result tormented my heart ...
- Changed, bastard?
Not in this case. Tormented by claims. I often went on tour, he also left ... In general, it didn’t work out. By and large, my last few songs are dedicated to him. For example, in “Confused” there is almost a quote from my last text message: “I'm tired of loving emptiness, it seems, for the first time. I will never die for you, but maybe others…”
- Sounds harsh!
What to do when you break up, you want to prick more painfully ...
- Have you thought about children? Excuse me, you turned 30 in April.I am not ready for a family or children yet. But when I have them, I know how I will bring them up. I was not allowed to come home after 10 pm until I was 18. My dad is a military man, and he always met me from any party. I believe that a strict upbringing for a girl is only good. Despite the fact that both dad and mom (she is my engineer) like what I'm doing now. And my grandmother, a typical Moscow intellectual from Taganka, too.
- And your poems praise? You, they say, have released a collection of your poetic works.
You know, at the age of 14, I wrote a slang version of Little Red Riding Hood, which my brother and girlfriend and I staged in the country and showed to adults. Here, for example, is an excerpt from the scene of the mother with the Riding Hood. "Where did you soap up, dude?" - "So what?" - "Nothing! Come here! What kind of stupid habit is always arguing with mommy ?! - “You, che, completely hesitated! Damn, I'm giving birth to a hedgehog right now! “You are not here! Shut the slurp!" “Listen to what I tell you. Do you remember how you baked pies last summer?” - "And what?" - “Today I remembered this, they are still gluey ...” Well, and so on. That's when the family was really shocked! Now, I hope, my work does not make such a strong impression. But seriously, I'm not ashamed of what I'm doing.
Olga, preparing for an interview, I came across an old publication. The meaning is this: producer Max Fadeev fires Olga Seryabkina, and in the same place: Elena Temnikova has repeatedly stated that her colleague in SEREBRO frankly "does not pull".
Yes, this duck about my dismissal was widely distributed then. In fact, I was always faithful to Max, grew up on his music and did not plan to leave, but he did not want to fire me. As for Lena, there is not much to talk about. I have been friends with her for many years. But it turned out that only I was friends ... For me, this was a major disappointment. And there is nothing more to add.
(As I did not try to talk to Olga about their relationship with Temnikova, nothing happened. In particular, I would like to hear first hand about the fight between them, which is gossip in show business circles. According to information from sources close to SEREBRO, the clash occurred on a foreign tour, shortly before Elena left the group. In the elevator, Temnikova rushed with her fists at Seryabkina. According to one version, she was jealous of the audience, who allegedly welcomed Olga warmer than Lena. Olya was confused. At first, she simply dodged the blows, and then she cooled the aggressor with a ringing slap in the face. Well, since you can’t ask about Temnikova ...)
- Olya, did you often have to hit people in the face?
I think that fights are not the most worthy occupation for a girl. But if you mean slaps, yes! I love this, to be honest. So many times I handed them out - and you can't count them. Sometimes she even did it for no particular reason. I am very happy with the reaction.
- Yes? And the "response" did not arrive?
You know, somehow still lucky ...
- OK then. Now, in addition to SEREBRO, you have a solo project called Molly. Again running into conflict in the team?
The girls are happy for me. It's just a completely different, not "silver" music. And in general, with Dasha, for example, we quarreled on tour in the USA a year ago because of some nonsense ( Daria Shashina, Olga's colleague in the SEREBRO group. - M.P.). And this quarrel lasted exactly an hour. I don't remember any other major conflicts.
- And "Molly" - what is it?
- Molly- this is "Olya" plus my favorite letter "M". For some reason, I treat her with special warmth. Many members of girl groups, having acquired a solo project, immediately leave. But I don't want that at all!
On the day of the 32nd anniversary of Olga Seryabkina, a frank interview with the singer was published by the Life.ru website. The soloist of the group Serebro spoke about her love for a woman and her attitude to sex.
On April 12, a book of poems by Olga Seryabkina "Thousand M" appeared in Russian bookstores. As it turned out, some works of the newly-minted poetess are dedicated to same-sex love.
"My book will be on the shelves marked" 18+ ". Of course, I understand why the poem. It's called" Kate ". I thought for a long time whether it was worth publishing, but then I realized that it was. I wrote it sincerely. What you will read is my diary. I talked about my experience. This verse was written about my friend - many years later, when we no longer had any relationship, "Seryabkina admitted.
The singer claims that she is not a representative of non-traditional sexual orientation. Despite this, Seryabkina admitted that she had several women.
“I’m not saying that I have a different orientation, although I don’t see anything wrong with that. It’s just that in our country it’s not customary to talk about it, as if it doesn’t exist and feelings don’t exist. I want to remain myself. Yes, I had women, it's true. Up to a certain age. Up to 20 years, "said the singer.
Seryabkina also spoke about her attitude to sex. “In sex, it’s not the form that matters to me, but the fullness. It’s important for me to be drawn to a person. I accept only one form of relationship: when a man is stronger in spirit than a woman. If I see his weakness, nothing will work. felt full breasts, and he seems to allow himself to love,” said the star.
Seryabkina also dedicated one of her poems to a former bandmate with whom she once had a close relationship. However, after some time, she was very disappointed in her friend.
"I loved her very much, and the disappointment was very strong. I thought that this was a series that did not end. It turned out that only I was friends. All my words were twisted, all my secrets ceased to be secrets. If by chance the frames with me in a joint video it turned out to be more than with her, the "girlfriend" became a villain and reprimanded me, "the singer admitted.
