50+ stars whose real names will surprise you!
Thanks to the media, it seems to us that we know everything about the stars; literally every step they take does not go unnoticed by journalists, television and the paparazzi. But how well do we know those whose names are well known? It turns out that it’s not good enough, because they even have a different name.
Creative pseudonyms have never been something out of the ordinary for creative people. The real names of celebrities may be dissonant and difficult to pronounce. But sometimes situations arise when a pseudonym arises not because of a desire for something new, but as an escape from the old. For example, Nicolas Cage decided to change his last name because he avoided association with his star uncle Francis Coppola.
The real names of Russian celebrities are often surprising. So, for example, Alsou, whose name many consider to be fake, did not actually take a pseudonym. She really is Alsou. But the well-known Valeria was born Alla Perfilyeva.
Well, however, you yourself can find out in this photo selection the real names of the stars who hide them, posing as themselves under a different name.

ALENA APINA, NADEZHDA BABKINA, ASSIYA AKHAT
Let's start, perhaps, with representatives of domestic (and not so much) show business. I already told about Agutin and Allegrova, now it’s Elena Lyovochkina’s turn...ugh, that is. Alena Apina. Although, by the way, what difference does it make if it’s the same person?
The real Russian woman Nadezhda Babkina is actually Nadezhda Zasedateleva, a Ukrainian either a violinist or a singer (or more often both, and badly) Assia Akhat is Inessa Danilova, the “nee” name of Angelica Varum is Maria.
VITAS, DANKO, LINDA, NIKITA
The "Ichthyander" of the Russian stage - Vitas - is actually called Vitaly Vladasovich Grachev, Danko - Alexander Fadeev, Dolphin - Andrey Lysikov, Linda - Svetlana Gaiman, Nikita - Alexey Fokin, Oscar - Shamil Malkanduev.
The famous Andrei Razin, the creator of the deafeningly popular “Tender May” 15 years ago, has a very sonorous real name - Vadim Krivorotov. It’s not in vain, apparently, that he “gave up” with the stage and went into politics - there are still people like him there.
It is also interesting to know the real names of two outstanding figures of Soviet culture - Stas Namin and Seva Novgorodtsev (this one, of course, is not entirely Soviet, but oh well). So, the first was called Anastas Alekseevich Mikoyan (yes, yes, a relative of that same party member; now it’s clear where such success in show business came from), and the second was Vsevolod Borisovich Levenshtein.
