Good Lifestyle

In the old days, the voice of Rotaru sounded before the thousands of audience in the stadiums, her hits knew millions by heart, and the “chervona root” sounded at every holiday from the Carpathians to the Far East. Today, the legend of the Ukrainian stage almost does not appear in public and is rarely shared by personal news. Therefore, it is not surprising that fans again and again ask the question: where is the singer now and how does she live?

Did Rotaru remain in Ukraine?

In the early days of the full -scale invasion of Russia to Ukraine, Sofia Mikhailovna publicly stated: she did not leave Kyiv. Moreover, the artist openly spoke of the missile shelling of the capital and that she prays daily for her country and people. These words have become for many a symbol of stamina and devotion to the Motherland.

Then silence came. For several months, no publications appeared on her pages in social networks. This gave rise to many rumors. Russian propaganda was in a hurry to attribute to the singer the “escape” or “indifference”, but time spent everything in its place. Rotaru returned to the information field with a sincere appeal: she asked to help the families of the Ukrainian military and assured that she continued to live in Ukraine.

Rare appearance in public and life in the shadow

In recent years, Rotaru has practically no interview and tries to avoid public events. However, she still gets in touch at special moments. In her social networks, you can see warm congratulations on bright holidays and touching photos from the cemetery, where her husband rests - Anatoly Evdokimenko.

The sister of the artist, Aurika, recently said that Sofia Mikhailovna lives in Kyiv. Their large family was divided by the war: someone remained in Chernivtsi, someone lives in Chisinau, and the singer herself, together with her sister, continues to remain in the capital of Ukraine. “We are always in touch, the war will never separate us,” says Aurika.

Personal life and family

Sofia Rotaru has long been widowed: her husband, musician Anatoly Evdokimenko, passed away in 2002 after a stroke. Since then, the singer has not built a new relationship and sacredly keeps the memory of her only husband.

Their son Ruslan today is a successful producer, he is 54 years old. He has two children: Anatoly Jr., who is engaged in music and builds a career abroad. The granddaughter Sofia tries his hand in the modeling business and blogging.

Why fans are waiting for her return

Today, the name Rotaru is still surrounded by rumors and myths. For millions of Ukrainians, she is a symbol of an entire era, the voice with which they grew up. Her silence is worried, but every short message or photo of the singer causes a wave of positive emotions and gratitude.

Where is Sofia Rotaru actually now? Everything indicates that she remains in Kyiv, next to her family and her people. She is not on stage, not under sofitis, but her presence is felt - in the words of support, in quiet prayers and in the music that united people for decades.
