Vladimir Shahrin: the leader of the group "Chaif"

The leader of the not aging rock band Chaif, Vladimir Shahrin, is not only a talented musician, but also a caring husband, father and already a grandfather. He admits that he regrets the fact that he paid little attention to daughters in childhood. He hopes to catch up with his granddaughters and grandson.

Biography and personal life

The singer was born in the summer in the city of Sverdlovsk in 1959. He graduated from the school there, where he became acquainted with the future member of the group - Begunov.

In 1978, Vladimir was taken to serve in the border troops. Shakhrov married in 1980 on the beautiful girl Elena. He met her while studying in a construction technical school. Vladimir Shahrin, whose personal life is associated with one woman, in the late eighties was more engaged in music than the family. He himself complains that at that time he remembers everything about the group, and there are not so many daughters. Only that they drove them on a sled into the garden and ran into the dairy kitchen for food for them. It should be noted that this is also a lot, especially for a rock musician.

After Vladimir graduated from the technical school, he worked as a fitter for eight years at a construction site. All the skills obtained during studies and work were useful: in the house much was done by the skillful hands of the owner. And in the Soviet era, such a profession as a fitter gave the family the opportunity to get an apartment and live separately from their parents.

Family musician

Elena's wife gave birth to her husband two daughters: Julia and Daria. And on the fiftieth birthday of their father they presented two granddaughters - Alice and Victoria (with a difference of five months). In 2014, the eldest daughter gave birth to a grandson and diluted the maiden kingdom. The boy was called Maxim.

All the education of daughters in the late eighties amounted to the fact that the pope came from a tour, gave all the gifts and left again to travel around the cities. Now the father makes up for lost time and spends more time with his daughters and grandchildren. However, in 2015, "Chaif" in honor of the 30th anniversary of the group arranged a tour of the country with tours.

At the wedding of the daughters, parents gave them an apartment, located next to the private house Shahrin. In their opinion, for family happiness it is necessary to live separately from parents. But almost every week everyone gathers at a big table with the family.

Recently, the leader of the group "Chaif" bought a franchise quest game "Sherlock" in Yekaterinburg. Officially, the eldest daughter took over the management of the project. Players will be asked to complete a series of tasks and leave the room.

Grandfather and grandchildren

Grandpa enjoys playing with his grandson, including on musical instruments. He sings children's songs. Kindly complains that you have to repeat the same song several times. For his granddaughters, he is not just a grandfather, but also a good friend. Often, girls leave messages on the phone to their good grandfather. They ask him to come, because it's better that nobody plays with them.

Shahrin's wife: 40 years together

The wife of Vladimir has nothing to do with music. She is not only a housewife, on whom the whole house rests. Elena realizes herself as an architect. The woman has created a couple of projects of houses and apartments. In difficult times for the family (in the 80's) sewed children's overalls for sale and thus virtually one contained the whole family. At the moment she is also engaged in sewing, but for herself and her friends.

Daughters with their grandchildren regularly visit their parents' country house. Everyone lives in Yekaterinburg, and no one is going to move to Moscow for permanent residence.

For 35 years of joint marital life there were no serious scandals with the departure from home. The secret of long relations Vladimir Shahrin describes simply. First, there must be a desire to live with your loved one all your life. Secondly, when a family is already established, a man must have a persistent concept of that it is necessary to take care of his wife and do everything to make her well. To quit the quarrel, the musician advises not to go into it and not stir up the conflict. Still as an option, you can distract your favorite with an unexpected joke or go unnoticed to another topic.

A little bit about life principles

Fans of the "Chaif" group and simply people who follow music are interested in knowing the secrets of success and the principles by which Vladimir Shahrin lives. He is a really sunny person, simple in communication, and, it seems, is not at all ill with star fever. There is a feeling that a person is absolutely unconflict, and nothing disturbs him in life. However, in an interview, he spoke about the fact that only crazy people are happy with everything. As in the creative team, and in the family there are disagreements and disputes. The main thing is to get out of them with dignity and not bring it to the limit.

The musician considers himself to be a happy person, because he has everything for this: family, grandchildren, favorite work.

To live within your means is the saying that Vladimir Shahrin heard from his father. The family must stand above all fees. Rocker does not need endless travel around the country.

"Better than necessary - no need" - worldly wisdom, which is written in the rider of the group. Here and now in the life of the leader of the group "Chaif" everything is so good that it is not necessary to dream about a bigger one, Vladimir Shakhrin admits. Photos clearly demonstrate the idyll and love that reign in the family.
