Shura. Laughter and Tears. The Rise, Fall and New Beginning of a 90s Star

Shura — the triumph winner of the show “Superstar” and a cult 90s star — is back on stage again!

What you have before you is the autobiography of Alexander Medvedev, better known by his stage name Shura, one of the brightest and most unlike anyone else performers on the Russian pop scene of the 1990s.

He voiced the foreword to this audiobook himself, and then candidly and in detail speaks about his childhood in Novosibirsk, working on his first hits at the legendary Salam studio, his lightning-fast success, and his conquest of Moscow. But the story does not end with fame: the details of what followed, his fall, are capable of shocking and becoming an unexpected revelation not only for the unprepared listener, but also for the most devoted fans.

A long struggle with illness and years of oblivion give way to a new chapter — a return and another rise.
