65-year-old Vladimir Kuzmin became a guest of Boris Korchevnikov's program "The Fate of a Man", where he spoke about his difficult relationship with the Prima Donna, writes Passion.ru.
Alla Pugacheva and Vladimir Kuzmin met in 1984, when she was 35, and he was 29 years old. It was the aspiring rock musician who was recommended to Alla Pugacheva as a person who would help her prepare for a tour in West Germany, where she was to transform into a rock singer.
“I could not fully believe that I would find myself abroad, and even with Pugacheva,” said Vladimir Kuzmin. After the tour, Kuzmin and Pugacheva began to work closely together: the first Soviet pop star took Vladimir under his wing, becoming his producer.
“We worked day and night together for several years. Our relationship was natural. I loved her, the whole country loved her. And she loved me. How could you not love me? " - Kuzmin opened up.

“In 1985, the press wrote that there are only two stars in the USSR - Pugacheva and Kuzmin. And right away Igor Nikolaev wrote the hit “Two Stars”. After that, I started a hard life: I woke up popular, I gave not two, but more concerts a day ”.
Kuzmin admitted that the affair with Pugacheva became a good school for him - both creatively and personally. “She criticized me a lot, taught me to love the audience, to sing for every spectator,” the musician said.
During the romance with Pugacheva, Vladimir Kuzmin was married to the poet Tatyana Artemyeva.
“We met when she was 20 and I was 19,” he said. The family had three children and the wife's child grew up from her first marriage.
Tatiana wrote several hits for her husband, including "My Love".
“When I sang this song, the audience got up. And then I realized that my vocation is to sing about love, ”Vladimir Kuzmin said to Boris Korchevnikov.

“Alla always told me that I had a burden on my wings, I had to throw it off and be creative. But I didn't throw anyone off. And even after the divorce, he paid child support for many years and always helped the family, ”the rock musician said in the program.
When asked how he managed to divorce his wife in Soviet times, having four children, Kuzmin replied: “Alla had great connections, she helped. The family broke up earlier, but formally the marriage ended because of Pugacheva, yes, she divorced me. "
"She probably wanted to be with you then?" - Boris Korchevnikov asked.
“I don’t know, and I cannot discuss more intimate details,” Vladimir Kuzmin laconically avoided answering.
