Alla Borisovna Pugacheva (Russian: А́лла Бори́совна Пугачёва, Russian pronunciation: ['alːɐ bɐ'rʲisəvnɐ pʊgɐˈt͡ɕɵvɐ]; sometimes Pugachova; born 15 April 1949) is a Soviet and Russian singer-songwriter. Her career started in 1965 and continues to this day, even though she has retired from performing. For her "clear mezzo-soprano and a full display of sincere emotions",[1] she enjoys an iconic status across the former Soviet Union as the most successful Soviet performer[2][3] in terms of record sales and popularity.[4][5][6][7] In the media, she is called the Queen of Russian pop music.[8][9][10]

Pugacheva's repertoire includes over 500 songs in Russian, English, German, French, Kazakh, Hebrew, Finnish, and Ukrainian, and her discography has more than 100 records, CDs and DVDs. In addition to Russia and the former Soviet Union, Pugacheva's albums were released in Japan, Korea, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria and Israel. In total, Pugacheva has sold more than 250 million records.[11][12][13][14][15] The debut album "Mirror of the Soul" has sold 10 million copies.[16]

During her career, she has toured Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, Scandinavia, Central Asia and other countries around the world, including the USA, France, Greece, Italy and Israel.[17][18][19] In 2000, The New York Times called Pugacheva "the goddess of Russian pop music, Moscow's Tina Turner with a touch of Edith Piaf".[20]

She became a People's Artist of the USSR in 1991, a Laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation in 1995, and was decorated as a Chevalier of the Order "For Merit to the Fatherland" II, III and IV degrees. In addition to state awards, Pugacheva was awarded Russian and international music prizes, including the Grand Prix of the Golden Orpheus International Vocal Competition and the Ampex Golden Reel Award. In December 2022, Pugacheva was included in a list of the 100 most inspiring and influential women in the world (BBC, 2022), one of the three Russian women on the list.[21][22]
