Tanya is a normal, adequate woman, without any pretensions.
Recently, the 56-year-old performer of "Don't Cry," "My Clear Light," and many other hits, Tatiana Bulanova, has significantly tarnished her reputation. The reason for this is her young husband Valery Rudnev, with whom she has a 19-year age difference. - When Bulanova sang heart-wrenching songs with sad eyes for the whole country, her chosen one was just starting to attend kindergarten, - the portal 24smi.org ironically recounted Rudnev's biography. - His parents enrolled the boy in tennis. Valery passionately and diligently trained, which allowed him to become one of the promising young tennis players.
He graduated from the P.F. Lesgaft University of Physical Culture, Sport and Health. As a tennis player, he reached the finals of tournaments and won ITF titles in singles seven times. The year 2014 was the most productive: he achieved a ranking position of 210 in the ATP.
However, Rudnev's sports career could not be called groundbreaking. Perhaps that is why he decided to leave professional sports and move into business. Valery is the founder and director of OOO "Imperiya-Group" and OOO "BB-Gallery." Both companies operate in the restaurant business and food delivery. According to open sources, the total revenue of his enterprises in 2020 amounted to 30,000,000 rubles.
- I met Valery in October 2019 through Anya Semenovich, - Bulanova recounted shortly after the wedding on Julia Menshova's YouTube channel. - My friend and I came. Valery sat to the side. He was a bit gloomy. I didn't like him at all. But my friend is very straightforward. She started asking him: "How old are you? What do you do?" He said he was 31 years old. "Don't you have anyone older in the company?" - I asked. I was already 50 then. But when I started talking to him, I felt that Valery was older than me. That's how he carried himself in life.
Since March 2020, we had been living together. And in 2022, he proposed to me. My girlfriends said: "Tanya, think! Why do you need this?" - "He's so wonderful!" - I replied. - "And besides, I like being married." After the wedding, it was reported that I received a gift from Valery - a restaurant in St. Petersburg worth 50 million. I don't know how much it actually cost. It wasn't like Valery pulled out 50 million, bought a restaurant, and said: "Now it's yours!" There are investors involved. It's just a restaurant in my name. Valery manages the restaurant's finances. He brings me some money. But from the restaurant or where - I don't understand.
Unfortunately, the businessman who charmed the singer, Rudnev, turned out to be just as unsuccessful as he was as a tennis player. Some time later, it became clear that he was deep in debt - not paying taxes on time and failing to meet his loan obligations.

A year ago, Bulanova's husband had a debt of 10.7 million rubles, - reported St. Petersburg's "Komsomolskaya Pravda" last summer. - Now he owes 12.3 million rubles. On the website of the bailiffs, there are several enforcement proceedings against Valery Rudnev. The largest debt is 8.9 million. It is noted that the case against him was initiated back in February 2023, after he stopped repaying loans. A second entry with a large sum appeared recently - also loans amounting to 880,000 rubles. Additionally, Bulanova's husband has two fines from the traffic police that he forgot to pay. Besides the bailiffs, Valery Rudnev is also under scrutiny from the tax authorities. He has several businesses registered under his name. But he has not paid taxes for his entrepreneurial activities - 805,000 rubles. His OOO "BB-Gallery" is at risk of closure. The website "Transparent Business" indicates that the company is undergoing the process of exclusion from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (EGRUL), which implies a complete cessation of activities.

These are not debts, but guarantees, - Tatiana defended her husband in a recent interview with Ksenia Sobchak. - He started everything from scratch absolutely. I even pride myself on the fact that no one helped him. He is a very sociable person. He finds common ground with people. And this is probably his big plus. He started some businesses. They failed. He started over again. And during the pandemic, I can honestly say, when I had no work at all, we lived on his earnings. He was opening some stores that also went under. But somehow he still managed to earn something. Good for him, he didn't give up.
And these guarantees... His partner took out a loan. Valery guaranteed it for him. Then all of this was conveniently neglected. And for this guarantee, he is now responsible. But this is not some dire critical situation. It's unpleasant, but absolutely solvable. And he is addressing this issue. I can say that in the six years we've been together, there haven't been any significant ups. But there have been downs. And we endured them. I didn't help him financially. The only time was when he had absolutely nothing; we lived on the money I earned. But I don't see anything terrible in that. I say: "When you become an oligarch, you'll compensate me for all of this."
Recently, it became known that debts to a large number of citizens and organizations have not only hung over Rudnev himself and the companies he founded but also over the catering enterprise to which he signed his wife as a wedding gift.
- As former employees of Bulanova's St. Petersburg restaurant "Gastronomika po-novomu" reported, in mid-January, half of the team allegedly did not receive their salaries for the New Year holidays and were offered to leave "at their own request," - the scandalous information was disclosed by the Telegram channel "SHOT PROVERKA." - The reason is a lack of funds to support the entire staff.
According to the workers, the management promised to gradually pay off the debts. However, six months later, some employees still did not receive their money. In correspondence, the restaurant management initially blamed a "difficult period," and then completely stopped responding. Former employees confirm that the company is not doing well financially: in recent months, they claim that deliveries of products have been delayed because of this. Currently, there are 50 enforcement proceedings against the legal entity "Gastronomika po-novomu" amounting to nearly one million rubles. An additional 616,000 rubles is the total amount of lawsuits against the company for contracts and supplies.
- I was at this restaurant in the summer, - shared former producer of the "Muz-TV" channel, Olesya Sazykina, with "Express Gazette." - In my opinion, it's an ordinary eatery. It's clear that no one gifted this "Gastronomika" to Tanya. She was simply taken as the face of the establishment to attract the public in her name. She has a laughable share - some zero point two percent.
Tanya is a normal, adequate woman, without any pretensions. It was always easy to negotiate with her. When we were filming in St. Petersburg for "Muz-TV," she often helped us out. I remember in the project "Naprosilis," where stars showed their apartments, Misha Porechenkov was supposed to film with us. He canceled at the last minute. And Tanya let us into her apartment, where she was living with football player Vladislav Radimov at the time. She not only showed and told us everything but also fed the entire filming crew.
Unfortunately, she is not a businesswoman at all. She took this young husband with debts. Although he had debts even before the wedding. Apparently, he provided her with great sex. And she thought of nothing else and saw nothing. And now she is forced to concoct tall tales to cover for him. It is possible that she will also have to answer for her own debts with her property.
