The artists had to take pseudonyms.
There are legends about Alla Pugacheva’s mercilessness towards her competitors. They say that Diva ruined the careers of such stars as Valentina Legkostupova, Lika Star and Olga Zarubina. It is not surprising that several performers decided to change their names so as not to provoke the wrath of Alla Borisovna.
Few people know that Masha Rasputin’s passport is Alla Ageeva. According to the celebrity, she chose the Russian style for herself, so she decided to change her name to a more traditional one. As for the surname, the artist wanted to add sexuality to the image, as well as playfully hint at Grigory Rasputin.
Valeria is not Lera at all, but Alla Perfilova. The singer does not hide the fact that she took the pseudonym because of Pugacheva. The aspiring performer understood that there could only be one Alla on the stage, so she abandoned her own name for the sake of a successful career.
