Official return onscreen of Maksim will apparently occur this summer. In fact, according to source maxim-fans.ru this will occur precisely on June 5, 2009. She will appear on MUZA- TV, where she will sing Ne Otdam!!! (YAY FOR ME)
But thus far, Marina is more preoccupied dealing with her daughter, who, may I remind you was born on March 8, 2009. The cute little thing is almost two months old now and not a single picture yet released by the periodicals.
Speaking of may 8th...The day after (Saturday may 9th) is as you all know DEN POBEDI, THE DAY OF VICTORY, where the Russian army overtook Hitler and chased him away (well...actually, technically, it was a treaty signed by Stalin and Hitler but...oh well...its still День Победы...). День Победы (Den pobedi) translates to THE DAY OF VICTORY. In fact, it all happened on a dark and stormy night...In March 1975. Poet Vladimir Kharitonov, ex-war veteran, approached his traditional co-author, the young composer David Tukhmanov with a proposal to write a new song for the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Soviet victory in the WWII.
The song composed by Tukhmanov and Kharitonov was originally reject by the jury. HOWEVER, AMAZING SINGER LEV LECHENKO premiered it during his concert in Alma-Ata in late April where it received CRITICAL ACCLAIM!
Ever since, the song has been played on every 9th of may and is recognized as THE song commemorating the victory in 1945.
MAY WE NEVER FORGET THIS GREAT DAY!
Here are a few quotes:
Vladimir Shainsky, veteran composer: "the song seemed to have turned back the time. Although written three decades after the war, it now seems that it was this song that helped us to gain the victory". I ABSOLUTELY CONCUR!
Leonid Brezhnev, Soviet leader: "folks would sing this tune for many years after you and I are gone". He said to Kharitonov.
It is even a hit in America!:
American researcher David MacFadyen: "this powerful song draws not upon the bravery of youthful soldiers but the private memories of aging, graying veterans. Its poignant combination of joy at a stunning victory and sadness at great loss sounds just as relevant today, when the war itself is something about which many young Russians neither know nor care".
Without further ado...the 1975 hit...DEN POBEDI:
LA LA LA LALALALALA LALA LA
Here are the lyrics...SING ALONG, SING IT LOUD, SING IT PROUD! ETOT DEN POBEDI!
Den' Pobedy, kak on byl ot nas dalyok,
Kak v kostre potukhshem tayal ugolyok.
Byli vyorsty, obgorelye, v pyli —
Etot den' my priblizhali kak mogli.
Chorus:
Etot Den' Pobedy
Porokhom propakh,
Eto prazdnik,
S sedinoyu na viskakh.
Eto radost'
So slezami na glazakh.
Den' Pobedy!
Den' Pobedy!
Den' Pobedy!
Dni i nochi u martenovskikh pechey,
Ne smykala nasha Rodina ochey.
Dni i nochi bitvu trudnuyu veli, —
Etot den' my priblizhali kak mogli.
Chorus
Zdravstvuy, mama, vozvratilis' my ne vse,
Bosikom by probezhat'sya po rose!
Pol-Yevropy proshagali, pol-Zemli —
Etot den' my priblizhali kak mogli.
Chorus x 2

More news
Maksim apparently (according to www.maksimfan.ru) got 2 nominations at the yearly national musical television reward Муз-ТВ (MUZA- TV) 2009. «Лучшая исполнительница» which translates to best executor, and «Лучшая песня» which I'm guessing is best video or something...I really don't know for sure but it was for her song «Научусь летать» (Nauchus Letat) which, by the way, you can listen to on this site (at the bottom on the music player :D).
Another point, according to a reliable source, apparently Maksim believes her daughter resembles more her father than her mother (honestly, I personally don't know how you can tell the difference at this stage...) which she confessed in an interview. In fact, on the 15th of April, "Vadim Voronov, Alice Seleznev and Sergey Melnikov in no way could believe appearance in the studio of that day's guest speaker!" (Who was of course Maksim). Alice even asked: «Как тебе удается так хорошо выглядеть, спустя всего месяц после рождения дочки? Совсем ничего не ешь?»...haha got you there ;)...you don't read Russian, do you?
Well, it translates to: "Only month after giving birth to your daughter, how is it that you can already appear on air and look so good? Do you starve yourself? How do you look so good?”
(Thank God for Google translator and my patience and skill to decipher the translation)
I also sometimes wonder how Maksim looks so good...I guess its a Russian thing...who knows.
Anyhow, she apparently pulls it off by sharing her food with her daughter and by singing lullabies to her before her sleep (I don't know how that keeps you in shape...I guess she does all sorts of dances to keep her entertained as well...haha I just pictured Maksim breakdancing...odd).
So these are a couple of updates on Maksim...however inaccurate they may be, they are still updates nonetheless. As soon as I get a reply from the site giving me possibly more information, or correcting anything I may have said wrong, I will be putting it up here.
Until then, CONGRATS ON THE NOMINATIONS MAKSIM!!!

Good Morning Russia!
I'm sorry this is a bit late, but bear with me here as Russian is not at all even relatively close to my native tongue and the information I bring you is not easy to come by.
So, once again according to www.maksimfan.ru (they are a great source of information), on April 7th, Maksim appeared on the program "Доброе утро, Россия!" (“good morning, Russia!” for the non-Russian speaking people out there) for the first time since she gave birth to her daughter.
Unfortunately for you I cannot understand the rest of the article on this issue besides the fact that they spoke of a new video she appears in with some Russian rapper dude, Небо засыпай, which you can see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOyabAeqK1E.
If you can read Russian...( Then WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING ON THIS SITE...lol...just kidding :) ), then you can read the article here: http://www.maksimfan.ru/

Music player
I have added a music player with songs from Maksim on the bottom of the page. It will play songs at random when you visit the website. If you have special requests for which songs you'd like me to put or if you think I should change/remove it, please let me know. Feel free to comment. :D
Ps: I know that some of the songs (actually most of them) aren't the full versions but rather small samples. I do not want to violate any copyright infringement so I will not be posting the whole songs. They are just to give you a taste of Maksim so as to make your browsing of this page more pleasant. Moreover, the shorter the clips, the more songs you get to listen to, right? And who doesn't want to hear the most songs from Maksim? That was a rhetorical question. :)
One more thing: some of the songs have weird titles that make no sense such as "çélâ". If you would like to know the titles of those songs, please send me a message and I will give them to you. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Update on Maksim pics
I've added a few pics of Maksim to the slideshow. However, unfortunately photobucket will not allow more than 50 pictures per slideshow. Therefore, if you want to see more of the Maksim pictures I posted, you can click on the "View all" button which appears at the bottom right of the slideshow.
You can also contact me via the chatbox, to the right, or the "contact-me-box" on the bottom of this page if ever you have difficulty finding your way to the pictures.

Castle in the forest
This is just an image I found on the net that I thought looked really neat (It gets bigger if you click on it):
New video
Remember the song I liked most of Maksim? I mentioned it in her biography...It was called Ne Otdam (не отдам, in Russian). Anyhow, there is a brand new music video that just came out for it and I'd like to share it with you. It comes form the fan site www.maxim-fans.ru . At some points in the video the sound may seem distorted...this is normal, it is not your hearing that is the problem as I hear the distortion as well. I do not know the purpose for this but its still an awesome song, awesome video and classic Maksim stuff! Besides, she's more gorgeous than ever in this video.
Without further ado, *Drum roll*, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you...the video:
I apologize, the video seems to have been removed due to copyright infringment. Ill try to find it again and post it as soon as I can.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
ITS BACK!!!
