Birth and family
Stas was born on November 8, 1951. His real name is Mikoyan Anastas Alekseevich. The family into which the future musician was born was very famous in the Soviet Union.
His father, Alexey Anastasovich Mikoyan, is an honored military pilot of the USSR, went through the Great Patriotic War, and had the military rank of lieutenant general of aviation. Mom, Mikoyan Nami Artemyevna (maiden name Arutyunova), is a journalist, writer, author of numerous publications. After graduating from the conservatory and graduate school, she worked as a historian and musicologist.
My paternal grandfather, Mikoyan Anastas Ivanovich, was a Soviet party leader, Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Council, began his career in politics under V.I. Lenin, and retired under L.I. Brezhnev. Grandfather’s brother, Artyom Ivanovich Mikoyan, was a famous aircraft designer who created MiG aircraft.
With such relatives, little Anastas was guaranteed a great and bright future, a political or diplomatic career. At least, it was impossible to assume that the boy would grow up to be a rock musician.

Music and Stas Namin have been inseparable since childhood

On the personal front Namina
Mikoyan Anastas Alekseevich is all of him, the legend of Russian rock Stas Namin. He got his real first and last name in honor of his paternal grandfather; Anastas Ivanovich went through the war as a pilot. The best of the Armenian paternal line went to the grandson, but the maternal line is even more interesting.
The future musician’s mother’s name was Nami Gerukova. My maternal grandfather’s place of work was the Scientific Automotive Institute, that is, NAMI. The dedicated father named his newborn daughter in his honor. Such deflection did not help Artemy Gerukov, the first secretary of the regional committee of the Georgian Communist Party; in 1937 he was repressed.
The family preserved a photograph of grandfather Anastas Mikoyan with Stalin and Ordzhonikidze.
And in the future grandson of these difficult grandfathers the blood of the bright Caucasian peoples was mixed: Georgian with Armenian.
The boy was born in November 1951; his father, Alexey Mikoyan, preserved family traditions and became a test pilot. Nami Mikoyan worked as a musicologist. The future rock performer Stas was given the name Anastas at birth.
The life of Stas's family was not calm and sedentary; his father's work forced them to constantly move from place to place. The future musician gained impressions from childhood; he managed to live in Belarus, Murmansk, and Germany. Constant travel and bustle did not benefit the spouses' relationship; the couple divorced when the boy turned six.
Since the mother had the opportunity to devote herself completely to her son, she took the talented heir seriously. Stas went to school at six, it was Moscow 74th. There he began musical studies under the guidance of Arno Babajanyan, composer and teacher.
Alfred Schnittke and Mstislav Rostropovich, and even Aram Khachaturian were guests of the Mikoyan family. Nami’s second husband and Stas’s stepfather turned out to be Vasily Kukharsky, at that time he served as Deputy Minister of Culture in the USSR.
The father did not lose touch with the heir; when Anastas was ten years old, he insisted that his son continue the dynasty. The boy was sent to the Suvorov School, which was located in the capital. The paternal grandfather showed interest in his grandson. Anastas Mikoyan worked for a long time in the Politburo, and raised four military men out of his own five sons.
Childhood
As a child, Stas was, to put it mildly, a naughty boy and caused his mom and dad a lot of trouble. The Mikoyan family spent the years until their parents divorced in military garrisons and towns where their father was sent for service - in Belarus, in East Germany, near Murmansk.
When we lived in a Belarusian village, Stas’s life was quite free. He often went for walks far from home. He wandered along a country road, and then took off his shoes and went into the fields. At the same time, he did not take his shoes with him, but carefully placed them on the road, as if he had entered the house from the street. Sometimes I had to return to the village barefoot, because the sandals did not wait for their little owner.
In the Belarusian garrison, many were engaged in subsistence farming. Mom, like the other officers' wives, kept chickens. Only, with her conservatory education, she could not learn to distinguish between an ordinary chicken and a laying hen, every time she bought the wrong ones at the market. Stas remembered this moment well from childhood - everyone’s chickens laid eggs, but theirs didn’t. The boy considered such a thing unfair, so he often made his way into the common chicken coop and laid out all the eggs equally. And then I listened to the bewilderment of the neighbors - what happened to their pests. But one time he was caught in the act of a crime. True, they didn’t scold him much, because everyone laughed at the boy’s resourcefulness.
But when we lived in a German town, it was no longer a laughing matter. With other boys, Stas liked to run to the training ground to collect unexploded shells there. During training flights, pilots fired them from airplanes, and those that remained intact attracted the boys. But this was an extremely dangerous idea; in the hands of a child, the shell could explode at any moment. Dad strongly scolded me for such entertainment, held conversations, explained how it could all end, sometimes punished and forbade walks. But as soon as the sentence ended, Stas ran to the training ground again.
One day, dad noticed him during a flight from the cockpit of an airplane. His patience ran out, and Alexey Anastasovich decided to teach his son a lesson. He dived so low that he flew right over Stas’s head, at least that’s what it seemed to the boy at the time. From the horror that a supersonic fighter was rushing over you, the boy’s soul was stupefied.
In the end, in order to channel this irrepressible character into the mainstream of order and discipline, his father and grandfather decided to send Stas to the Suvorov School.
Suvorov School
It is unlikely that the older Mikoyans then thought about a military future for the boy. They just wanted to discipline ten-year-old Stas. Although there was a family tradition: my grandfather had five sons in total, and four of them chose the military path of life.
At first my mother was against it, but then she agreed with this decision. Stas himself was absolutely not worried about this and never in his life regretted his years of study at the Suvorov Military School. After all, the best guys from all over the Soviet Union were accepted there.
At the military training institution they had a real men's team, something like the “Republic of SHKID”. The guys proudly called themselves cadets, not Suvorovites, and wore their beautiful red and black uniform with pleasure. In those days, they did not know about the concept of hazing, although at first it was not easy for Stas: he missed his parents very much, and he was not immediately able to find a common language with the team, because he still did not know how to take into account the different tastes and interests of people. But over time, everything got better, and Stas became friends with the guys.
For diligent behavior and excellent academic performance, they were given leave once a week. Since Stas was not an excellent student either in his studies or in his behavior, he rarely appeared at home. Mom missed her boy a lot, so she came often and brought milk, which her son adored. Through the openings in the fence she handed him triangular milk cartons.
Behind the fence on the back side of the school there was a children's amusement park. One of the Suvorov students came up with the idea of adding two letters “Ka” in front and the name “Cadet Park” came out. Boys often ran there AWOL in the evenings to visit the girls. There were real fights with local boys who didn’t like Suvorov’s guys because of the mere fact of their existence. Often they waylaid the cadets one by one and beat them. But the Suvorovites quickly understood this tactic, so they dealt with each other “wall to wall” several times, like adults, with belts wrapped around their hands.
When Stas graduated from the Suvorov School, he faced difficulties with choosing a future profession. He couldn't decide who he wanted to be.
Choosing a profession and craving for creativity
At the insistence of the same relatives, the guy goes to study as a diplomat at Moscow State University. He knew English well, and therefore difficulties in learning arose solely because of the young man’s unconventional behavior, his absences and his passion for hippie culture.
In order not to waste time and not be expelled in the third year of a prestigious university, Namin transferred to a pedagogical institute to take a course as a high school Russian language teacher, which he completed with difficulty, but still. He did not like either the work of a diplomat or the career of a teacher.
The guy organized his first musical group at the Suvorov Military School. The team consisted exclusively of the same tomboys, who, by the will of their relatives, ended up in a strict school. The ensemble was called “Sorcerers” and lasted a little over a year.
Stas Namin in the group "Flowers"
The following musical and vocal groups of the future rock star were:
- "Politburo";
- "Glare";
- "Flowers";
- "Stas Namin Group".
The name of Stas Namin became known in the country in the early seventies, when the first flexible record of the group “Flowers” was released, which he created in 1969 and with which, according to the magazine “Itogi,” “the entire domestic musical non-format began.”
Over its half-century history, the group sold more than 60 million records, but was banned in the central media and not recognized by the authorities until perestroika. Several generations grew up on the songs of Namin and his group “Flowers,” and his hit “We wish you happiness!” has been the country's favorite song for about forty years.
The creativity of young artists was not to the taste of the Soviet leaders of the country, and a hunt began, literally, for the musicians - they repeatedly tried to figure out how they managed to work, because in those days professional equipment was only available in state cultural institutions.
Institutes
As a result, Namin decided to enter the Institute of Foreign Languages at the Faculty of Translation. However, his studies did not interest him at all. I neglected my training to such an extent that I was constantly experiencing failures and failures. After studying for two courses, he realized that his damaged reputation could no longer be corrected at this higher educational institution and transferred to Moscow State University. There he already behaved smarter, albeit somehow, but he learned.
The turbulent youth of the 1970s era included three main components - drugs, rock and roll and sex. Namin had no weakness only for drugs; the rest of his student life was fully present and greatly interfered with his studies. Stas formed his own company of ten people, all of whom lived not far from Gorky Street. Their get-togethers took place at the Sever cafe, sometimes they fought and hooliganized, in general, they did everything that young people of this age do. Sometimes they ended up in the 102nd police station, but the guys were soon released.
During such events, Namin had no time to study at all, while he could strum rock and roll on the guitar from early morning until late evening, or even for days on end. But he still graduated from the university and in 1978 received a diploma as a teacher of Russian and English.
The beginning of a musical journey
Stas was accustomed to music since childhood. When his parents divorced, his mother married for the second time a musicologist, member of the Union of Composers of the USSR V.F. Kukharsky. Babajanyan, Rostropovich, Shostakovich, Schnittke, Khachaturian often visited their home.
Stas created his first musical group while still at the Suvorov Military School with classmates. The guys called the group “Sorcerers” and lasted exactly a year.
When he was already studying at the institute, together with Ordzhonikidze’s friend Grisha and cousin Alik Mikoyan, Namin organized a new team. They came to rehearse in the red corner, where, as was customary at that time, there was a red banner hanging on the wall, and a white bust of Lenin stood on the stage. Among such scenery, they played compositions by the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, and “Vladimir Ilyich listened attentively.” The guys decided that with such a composition it would be quite logical to give the group the name “Politburo”. They weren’t afraid to shock anyone, since practically no one knew about their existence anyway, and the musicians didn’t perform on television.
Stas Namin in the cinema
In 1982, Stas Namin decided to change his field of activity due to the impossibility of continuing a professional musical career, and entered the Higher Courses for Scriptwriters and Directors at the USSR State Committee for Cinematography. The following year, he became the author of the first video clip in the country for his song “Old New Year”. It was banned from showing due to its obvious political overtones. It was first broadcast only in 1986 in the USA on the MTV channel.
Stas Namin’s first experience of filming was “Neskuchny Sad” in 1991. There he acted not only as a producer, but also as a co-author.
Since 1992, he has been producing a series of documentaries called International Geographic. As part of it, the audience was shown such cities and countries as Jerusalem (1992), Thailand (1993), New York (1995), New Mexico (1996), Easter Islands, Tahiti and Bora Bora (1997 ), countries in Africa and South America (2002-2007) and the Amazon (2007).

Also, starting in 1989, several concert films were released, where Stas Namin appeared as a producer and director. Among them are the peace festivals in Luzhniki in 1989, “Rock from the Kremlin” in 1992, 3 parts of the “United World” festival in 1990, 1995 and 1997.
Group "Flowers"
But when Stas created the group “Flowers” in 1969, it immediately became clear that for the authorities they were “people from another sanatorium”; the group was often closed. To record records, perform on radio and television, it was necessary to undergo a strict selection process at the artistic councils. Sometimes “Flowers” succeeded, and in some places the group performed, for example, in the television program “Song-84”.
But the group was not allowed to go on tours abroad. The Deputy Minister of Culture of the USSR suggested that Namin leave music and work in his specialty. Inspections from the prosecutor's office began, Stas was threatened with criminal cases. The prosecutor's people followed the "Flowers" team on all tours and looked for what kind of case could be filed against their leader.
But there really were clues. All groups received the necessary equipment from the Ministry of Culture. But Stas Namin’s team was openly ignored and nothing was given to them. But they were performing, which means they were illegally obtaining musical instruments using some unaccounted funds.
Creation of a production center
Copied 09/10/2020 13:24:37 from the page https://pronedra.ru/stas-namin-i-ego-nasyshhennaya-sobytiyami-zhizn-i-biografiya-432926.html - Go-http-client/2.0 [ 207.180 .249.47 ]
Stas Namin organized his own non-profit company based on the Green Theater in Gorky Park. The production center was founded in 1987. The following groups came out of the center:
- Group "Spleen";
- "Gorky Park";
- "Moral Code";
- "Kalinov Bridge".
Separately, it is worth highlighting the fact that this production center became the first in the Russian Federation, whose authority was recognized by world rock stars who believed in the talent of the Russian producer. The stars agreed to work for free at Luzhniki in 1989; guests of Russia at that time included such famous personalities as Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Scorpions and Cinderella.

During the fruitful work of Stas Namin and his undisputed authority in the world of being the first in the post-Soviet space to organize a large performance, the center was able to create a lot of related and working projects on its territory. At this time, rock cafes, modeling agencies, a concert agency, glossy magazines, television companies, radio stations and recording studios were created.
The Moscow Symphony Orchestra, one might say, owes its existence to Stas Namin. Between 1987 and 1999, the orchestra recorded almost 100 discs with compositions for films, animated films and computer games.
Creative activity
All these events affected Namin’s health and mood, and he began to experience terrible depression. He saw no brightness ahead and really decided to change his profession. Stas entered the higher directing and screenwriting courses at the USSR State Committee for Cinematography. It seemed to him that only rock music was banned in the country, but everything would be fine in the cinema. But that was not the case; his first course work was graded as a “two” for non-compliance with Soviet standards.
With his vision of cinema, Namin’s career in this field of art also did not work out. But he is grateful to fate that during the directing courses he had the opportunity to meet and communicate with such masters of Russian cinema as Lev Gumilyov, Alexander Mitta, Paola Volkova. Stas learned a lot from them.
Despite depression and the decision to change his occupation, Namin did not leave his musical group. In 1985, they even took part in the Moscow International Festival of Youth and Students. And then perestroika came to the country and the group “Flowers” went on their first tour to America.
Now the team could safely record albums that were distributed throughout the country in huge quantities:
- "Hymn to the Sun";
- "We wish you happiness";
- "Reggae-Disco-Rock";
- "A surprise for Monsieur Legrand."
And in 1989, Namin organized the first rock festival in the Soviet Union. There were about 200 thousand spectators at the Luzhniki Stadium, world stars came - Scorpions, Ozzy Osbourne, Bon Jovi. For that time it was considered science fiction. Stas was afraid that people in civilian clothes would come in and stop everything - some would be sent to America, others would go home. But the concert was successful, it was broadcast in 59 countries. All funds collected were transferred to the fund to combat drug addiction.
Now Stas Namin has a production center and still remains the leader in his group “Flowers”. The band’s most famous compositions are still heard at concerts, and listeners, as before, perceive them with delight and love:
- “My clear little star”;
- "Jurmala";
- "Honestly";
- "More than life";
- “It’s too early to say goodbye”;
- "No need";
- "Heroic strength";
- "Summer evening";
- “Flowers have eyes”;
- "After the rain";
- "Lullaby";
- "We wish you happiness".
In 1999, the musician organized Russia’s first “Stas Namin Theater of Music and Drama,” which often hosts celebrity guests, for example, actor Robert de Niro.
Music
At the age of 13, Stas, influenced by the music of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, together with his classmates, created the group “Sorcerers”, which lasted for a year. In 1967, the young man continued his creative experiments in the company of his cousin Alik Mikoyan and childhood friend Grigory Ordzhonikidze. The new musical group was named "Politburo" in honor of the bust of Lenin and the red banner that were present in the room where the teenagers rehearsed.
Stas Namin in his youth
After graduating from college, Stas entered the Moscow State Institute of Foreign Languages. Maurice Thorez, but studied there only until the 2nd year. During the year, Stas managed to take part in the work of the student VIA “Bliki”, but, having become acquainted with the hippie movement, the young man decided to organize his own musical group “Flowers”.
In 1971, the young man transferred to Moscow State University to the Faculty of Philology, where he expanded his circle of acquaintances among creative youth. The musician’s friends include Anatoly Zverev, Oleg Tselkov, Anatoly Brusilovsky, Alena Basilova, Genrikh Sapgir, Yuz Aleshkovsky. While studying at Moscow State University, Stas is interested in Indian culture and joins the Harei Krishna movement.
Stas Namin and the group "Flowers"
In 1972, the group “Flowers” received first prize at the Moscow Student Festival at the Luzhniki Palace of Culture and recorded a flexible disc at the Melodiya studio with the compositions “My Clear Star,” “Flowers Have Eyes,” and “Don’t.” The circulation of the records is 7 million copies. A year later, the record was repeated with the second disc, which included the songs “Honestly,” “Lullaby” and “More than Life.” On the wave of success, the group goes on an all-Union tour. But, since the musicians’ work was not approved by the ruling circles, the band was disbanded on charges of promoting Western ideology.
In 1977, Stas Namin received a diploma as a teacher of literature and the Russian language, but did not go to work at school, but created a new musical group, the Stas Namin Group. Over the course of several years, the rock group released the albums “Hymn to the Sun”, “Reggae-Disco-Rock”, “Surprise for Monsieur Legrand”, “We wish you happiness” with the hits “It’s too early to say goodbye”, “Summer Evening”, “Jurmala”, “Nostalgia for the Present”, which are distributed throughout the Soviet Union in 40 million copies.
In 1981, in the wake of the easing of censorship in connection with the Olympics held in Moscow, Stas Namin organized the largest pop and rock festival in the USSR at that time in Yerevan. The venue chosen is a cycling track that can accommodate 70 thousand spectators. The American edition of Time and the German magazine Stern responded positively to the event, calling it “Yerevan Woodstock.” After the festival, regulatory authorities find out the musician’s biography and prohibit Stas Namin from giving concerts in big cities of the country.
Stas Namin organized the first Soviet rock festival
Not having the opportunity to work with a rock band, Stas enters the Higher Courses for Directors in the hope of gaining freedom of expression through cinema. The disgraced musician’s teachers are Alexander Mitta, Lev Gumilyov, and Paola Volkova. In 1982, Stas shot the first video clip in the USSR, “Old New Year,” based on the poems of A. Voznesensky, but work in the USSR was immediately prohibited. The video was shown only in 1986 on the MTV channel. In the early 80s, Stas Namin wrote music for the films “Fantasy on the Theme of Love” and “Hourglass”.
Stas Namin
In 1983, after completing his directing courses, Stas returned to musical activity and already in 1984, together with his own group, performed at the “Song of the Year” television competition. A year later, the group illegally participates in the international program of the Moscow Student Festival, for which the musicians are accused of supporting the American government.
With the advent of perestroika, the situation changes. In 1986, the Stas Namin Group was the first of the Soviet rock bands to go on tour to the USA. Soon the musicians are going on concerts all over the world. In 1987, Namin created the first production center in the USSR on the basis of the Green Theater of Gorky Park to help young musicians, artists, and poets - the Stas Namin Center (SNS).
At first, the organization was non-profit in nature and provided support to the musical groups “Gorky Park”, “Moral Code”, “Kalinov Most”, “Splin”. At the same time, Namin organized the first non-state Moscow Symphony Orchestra under the direction of conductor Konstantin Krimets.
In 1989, Stas held the first International Music Festival in Russia in Luzhniki, at which Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Ozzy Osbourne, Scorpions, Cinderella, as well as Namin’s brainchild, the rock group Gorky Park, performed. The event was broadcast in 59 countries around the world. All proceeds from the concerts went to the fight against drug addiction.
Group "Gorky Park"
In the early 90s, at the Olimpiysky Sports Complex, Namin organized a tour concert of the foreign star Iron Maden, bypassing the State Concert. Across the country, SNS is holding a series of festivals called “One World”; in Moscow, the “Rock from the Kremlin” festival is being organized. In 1992, at the invitation of Stas Namin, the rock group Scorpions arrived in Moscow to meet with the only president of the USSR, after which the song “Wind of Change” was born.
Over the course of 20 years, the composition of the group has constantly changed; A. Slizunov, Yu. Fokin, K. Nikolsky, I. Sarukhanov, A. Marshal, A. Malinin, A. Sapunov worked in Namin’s team at different times. With the fall of the USSR, the Stas Namin Group disintegrated due to ideological differences.
Stas Namin on a trip
The musician switches to other activities. Stas goes on a trip around the world with Thor Heyerdahl and Yuri Senkevich, after which he creates a series of documentaries “International Geographic”. As part of the author's project, films about Jerusalem, Thailand, New York, New Mexico, Easter Islands, Tahiti and Bora Bora were released in the 90s. In the 2000s, the cycles “Countries of Africa and South America” and “Amazonia” appeared.
In the early 90s, Stas began to study aeronautics and designed the “Yellow Submarine” balloon project, which was ranked among the best balloons in the world. Under the leadership of Namin, in 1991, the first balloon festival in the USSR was held on Red Square.

At the end of the 90s, personal exhibitions of artistic photographs by Stas Namin started in the Big Manege, the Central House of Artists and the St. Petersburg Russian Museum. Later, the musician would take up painting and graphics and exhibit his works for the first time at the Bakhrushin Theater Museum in 2006.
In 1999, the group “Flowers” gathers to hold a concert dedicated to the thirtieth anniversary of its creation. In 2001, the songs performed at the performance - “After the Rain”, “It’s Early to Say Goodbye”, “Heroic Strength” - were released as a separate disc “Nostalgia for the Present”. Without finally returning to show business, the musical group begins to collaborate with the Stas Namin Theater.
In the early 2000s, Stas Namin tried his hand at writing symphonic music. The suite “Autumn in St. Petersburg” appears, which premiered at a concert at the Moscow House of Music in 2007.
In 2009, at the Abbey Road studio, where The Beatles, Duran Duran, Pink Floyd, and U2 previously worked, the group “Flowers” recorded the retro album “Back in the USSR.” The album includes the compositions “Light and Joy”, “Tell Me Yes”, “White Ice Floes”, “Let It Be So”. At the same time, as part of the author’s project One World Freedom, Stas Namin, together with Djivan Gasparyan, Sergei Starostin, Vladimir Volkov, ethnic musicians from Africa, Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East, is releasing an ethnomusic disc.
Stas Namin on stage
A year after the anniversary concert at Crocus City Hall, “Flowers” are recording the disc “Open Your Window,” which includes tracks from the unreleased repertoire of the 80s. In 2013, two concert records appeared - “Homo sapiens” and “Flower Power”. A year later, the group goes on a big tour of Russia and neighboring countries “Flowers - 45”. All photo and video material of the group can be found on the official website of the “Flowers” group.
Personal life
Stas is interested in aeronautics, photography, painting, graphics, and traveling around the world.
Namin married three times. In 1977, a daughter, Masha, was born from her first marriage to Anna Isaeva. Two years later, the couple divorced, but maintained a good relationship. Anna is now the commercial director at the Stas Namin Center.
The musician's second wife was singer Lyudmila Senchina.
The third and last time Stas married a girl named Galina. Namin raised her son Roman from a previous relationship as his own. In 1993, Stas and Galina had a son, Artyom.

The musician's first wife
In the early seventies, Stas Namin met his future wife, Anna Isaeva, and after a couple of years they legalized their relationship. In 1977, Anna gave birth to her long-awaited daughter Maria, but the child did not save this marriage. Just two years after the birth of his daughter, Stas Namin divorced his wife.
It was rumored that the famous musician fell in love with the famous singer and actress Lyudmila Senchina. Despite this, Stas was able to maintain warm friendly relations with his ex-wife. The first wife is the sole and full-fledged financial director of the Stas Namin production center. And daughter Masha, in turn, pleased her father and made him a happy grandfather of his beautiful granddaughter Asya.
Second marriage of Stas Namin
Stas Namin met his wife (second in a row), Lyudmila Senchina, while still married to Isaeva. There was an office romance. For the first time they met on the same site. Namin offered to perform in one concert with his group “Flowers”. The most beloved “Cinderella” of the Soviet Union and rock rebel Stas Namin were a very unusual couple. A photo of Stas Namin’s second wife is presented below.
Despite this, their marriage (which journalists in turn called a telephone marriage, since Senchina was in St. Petersburg and Namin in Moscow) lasted seven whole years. As the singer Senchina herself said, Namin showed her a vision of completely unfamiliar music and a different life.
They could talk all night long. But the union collapsed for several reasons, one of them was Lyudmila Senchina’s categorical reluctance to move from St. Petersburg to Moscow, and the second reason (the artist herself confessed this) was Namin’s wild temperament. Senchina even once admitted that Namin raised his hand to her, “Yes, that happened too! And the apartment suffered from his rampages. What can we do with him, since he’s so emotional!”
Two different natures could not get along together - she was a modest classical singer, and he was a rock and roll rebel. Here history repeats itself, divorce, and warm friendly relationships. In 2001, on January 29, Stas’s ex-wife even took part in the anniversary performance of the group “Flowers”.

The composer's last relationship
Stas Namin and his wife Galina have been together for more than 25 years. And they were introduced by one interesting happy incident. Back in the distant eighties, Namin accidentally gave a ride to a young attractive girl, Galina, and, after talking with her, he realized that she was his destiny.
But to be fair, Galina rejected an attempt to meet Stas for a very long time. When they met, they both already had children. Galina had a son, Roman, from a previous relationship. In the end, after a long and beautiful courtship, Galina surrendered to “captivity of love” and agreed to marry Namin. In 1993, Stas and his wife had their common child, son Artem (at the present time he devoted himself to creativity - painting). And since then, the artist’s family life has not changed.
Now the popular singer does not appear in public so often, he is more passionate about producing and organizing festivals, Stas gives few concerts, as he himself admitted “he wants to create and create something new.”
Namin also has his own modeling agency, clubs and restaurants. Everyone wonders where he has so much energy. The singer devotes a large amount of time and money to charity.
