The grandfather of Elena on the maternal line, Ivan, a twenty -year -old guy left the Voronezh land for the construction of the Moscow metro, but a few years later returned to the small homeland, to the village of Kondrashovka.
Since Ivan had 10 brothers and sisters, Elena had many relatives in Voronezh and his environs. As a child, Lena spent most of her time with her grandfather with her grandmother in Kondrashovka. Thanks to his grandfather who sat very beautifully, he knew a huge number of songs and played perfectly on the balalaika, Elena fell in love with musical folklore.

In childhood, Lena Vasilek, Elena for the first time felt like a star star, when she sang the song “Hope” in a trolleybus, enjoying the attention of passengers. True, already becoming an adult, without enthusiasm she treated this word - “star” - believing that it is only excusable to call yourself only a child. The girl honed her abilities for music in a large children's choir of central television and all -Union radio.

He called her, putting her before the fact that he had already sang this song from the stage, but asked for permission to perform it at the Slavic Bazaar. Vasilek allowed. This was the reason and go to the festival itself to "amuse the author’s pride." Later, in an interview with Vasilek, she noted with satisfaction that many listeners considered Galina a folk song.
