After completing the designer studies in the city of Riga, Latvia, he moved to Moscow to pursue music career under the pretence of being a foreign pop star. His personal life was wrapped in mystery despite his rapid shot to stardom and much talk caused by it nationwide. And the talk was not always a pleasant one. Giving him credit for his extraordinary gifts and merits in music people noted unanimously that he was very hard to deal with. The rumor has it that Shura enraged the whole crew at the shooting of his first video Cold Moon. He was angry with just about everything; the plot, the cast, the crew, the director, even the weather. And he was expressing his indignation very fervently, stomping, shouting. He found two cross-dressers at the site of the filming (actually, Candyman gay club in St. Petersburg), brought them to cast and demanded 200 dollars' fee for each of the two.
1997-1998 was the most fruitful period for him as he released his major hits Cold Moon \Holodnaya luna\, Summer Rains Ended \Otshumeli letnye dozhdy\ which were in heavy rotation and topped many charts and radio airplay counts. 2001 earned him another success with Do Good Things \Tvori dobro\ single. He was extensively touring Russia and it was the time when he started to develop his now trademark bizarre feminine outfits and iridescent stage persona. Another notable feature of the performer's image was his toothlessness of which he constantly boasted, singing with conspicuous lisp (at least on his first three albums as he had had his teeth fixed later on). Since 2001 his fame began to fade and for the past 6 years he has moved out of the limelight.
He continues to tour Russia and post-Soviet countries today, performing chiefly his old material and playing small venues like night-clubs or private parties for business tycoons. In 2010 he put out a new single Balloons (Vozdushnye shary\ to almost zero publicity.
Shura is reportedly gay though in May 2010 he revealed the prospect of marrying Liza, his long-time friend.
Не верь слезам
Шура Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Моря пенного тела бренного
Чашу полную жизнь отмерила
Выбирай, выбирай, у реки два берега
У реки два берега, у реки два берега
У реки два берега
Ты не верь слезам, всё вернётся после долгих ночей
Растекается свет невидимый
Всё отмечено старым именем
Руки скованы вечным холодом
Только губы непокорные
Непокорные, непокорные, непокорные
Ты не верь слезам, всё вернётся после долгих ночей
Былью сладкий сон обернётся после долгих ночей
Ты не верь слезам, всё вернётся после долгих ночей
Былью сладкий сон обернётся после долгих ночей
Всё вернётся после долгих ночей
Обернётся после долгих ночей
The first verse of Шура's song Ты не верь слезам describes a moment of intimacy between two people who are in love. The first two lines - "Только нам с тобой неба синего, Моря пенного тела бренного" - evoke the idea of an idyllic, romantic landscape. The sky is blue and the sea is frothy, but the body is fragile and fleeting. This imagery sets the scene for what follows: a choice that must be made about how to live life to its fullest. The third line - "Чашу полную жизнь отмерила" - serves as a reminder that life is finite and should be measured out fully. The final line of the verse asks the listener to choose, but doesn't specify what the options are. Instead, it simply repeats the idea that there are two banks of the river, awaiting the listener's decision.
The second verse of the song moves away from the idyllic image of the first verse and paints a much bleaker picture. The opening line - "Растекается свет невидимый" - suggests that the light is spreading out in all directions, but it's not clear what it's illuminating. The next line - "Всё отмечено старым именем" - implies that there is some kind of ancient, foreboding force at work. This force seems to have reduced the singer's hands to "eternal cold", but the final line of the verse emphasizes that the singer's lips remain "unconquered". This line hints at defiance, at the idea that even in the face of an oppressive, mysterious force, the singer's spirit cannot be broken.
Overall, the song seems to be about the way that love can be a source of meaning and vitality in a harsh, indifferent world. The chorus repeats the idea that sorrow will eventually give way to a sweet dream, perhaps suggesting that even in the midst of pain, there is the hope of happiness to come.
