What helped Nelly Kobzon to survive the death of her spouse, how Irina Krug became a singer and why Lyudmila Porgina does not take offense at the journalists who called her “a cheerful widow”.
Mikhail Krug, Iosif Kobzon, Nikolai Karachentsov, Vladimir Turchinsky - these famous people are no longer with us, but their wives remain. Who of the widows decided to continue the work of his spouse, and who managed to find a new love and start everything from scratch, tells AiF.ru.
Irina Krug
The story of Irina Krug is very similar to the fairy tale about Cinderella, only its finale was not so happy. Being an ordinary waitress in a restaurant in Chelyabinsk, the girl met the then well-known singer Mikhail Krug. At the end of the evening, the singer was ready to take Irina with him to the capital not as a mistress, but as a costumer, and with a decent salary. However, it took several months for Irina to accept such a tempting offer. And so that between them began a real novel - and even more.
The couple got married in 2001, their common son Alexander was born in 2002. However, the boy did not even remember his father, because in the same year, on the night of June 30 on July 1, unknown persons killed Michael in his own house.
After the death of the Circle, singer-songwriter Vladimir Bocharov suggested that Irina record a few songs in memory of him. She agreed, and in 2004, together with a friend of the deceased wife, Leonid Teleshov, she released her debut album, “The First Autumn of Separation”. In 2006, the actress presented the second record on poems and music by Mikhail Krug: "To you, my last love." In the same year, the artist's widow married businessman Sergey Belousov, and six years later she became a mother again: the couple had a son, Andrei.
Nelly Kobzon
They called each other "pupa" and "pupsik", even when both were far beyond thirty. Nellie and Joseph Kobzon lived together for 48 years, and if not for the death of the artist, they probably would have celebrated a golden wedding. Iosif Davydovich began to fight cancer at the beginning of the 2000s, but he did not stop his concert activity or work in the State Duma, although he was undergoing chemotherapy. In August 2018, he died before reaching his 81 birthday a little less than two weeks.
For some time after the death of the legendary spouse Nelly Kobzon went into the shadows, but then gradually began to return to normal life:
“My dream today is to calm down and get peace of mind. I don’t want to complain ... But after living with a 48 man for years, I can say that when he was gone, more than half of me left, ” widow told reporters channel NTV.
Currently, Nelly Kobzon decided to create a charitable foundation named after her husband, she also plans to write a book about her husband. And in March of this year, the exhibition “Women's Taste” opened in the Vasily Tropinin Museum, which presents items from the personal collection of Ninel Mikhailovna: china, vases, plates, various rare women's accessories. The widow is sure that her husband would be pleased that she brings the beautiful to the masses.
“Joseph Davydovich would be pleased, firstly, because I was doing what I loved. And secondly, by the fact that people will see all this beauty, like me, looking at them alone, ”she told Izvestia.
Irina Turchinskaya
The sudden death of Vladimir Turchinsky came as a complete surprise to everyone. A few hours before a heart attack, the athlete gave an interview to one of the federal channels, then went home, where he felt a serious indisposition. Unfortunately, he did not wait for the ambulance to arrive. 16 December 2009 year Turchinsky gone. Vladimir's wife, Irina, experienced his death hard, in this difficult situation her daughter Xenia, who by that time was only 10 years old, and work, were her salvation.
Having a huge sports experience, Turchinskaya continued to develop in this direction. She created her own method of losing weight, launched the work of the Center "Weight". Also, for a long time we could see her in the project “Weighted People”, where she acted as one of the coaches. And this year Irina has the third book about how to create the body of her dreams. The daughters of the Turchinsky are already 18, according to media reports, Ksenia tried herself as a model and even worked in China, and is now studying at the production department of the Moscow Art Theater School.
Ludmila Porgina
During the life of Nikolai Karachentsov, his wife Lyudmila Porgina had to hear many unpleasant things in his address. She was accused of having forced the actor to get married with her after a terrible accident in which he fell in the 2005 year, and was condemned for the fact that she went out with a seriously ill husband. But she pretended not to notice the gossip behind her back, and continued to care for her husband, took him abroad, visited the theater with him, in general, did everything to live the most ordinary life. This went on for long 14 years.
When Karachentsova passed away in October 2018, Lyudmila Andreevna held steadfastly, without tears and lamentations, and at wake, escorting her husband on her last journey, screamed, raising a glass of champagne: "Hyp-hyp-cheers". This behavior has confused many. However, Porgina herself did not see anything criminal in him, because the spouse himself asked her not to fall into despondency before dying and to continue to rejoice in every day. When the next media calls her a “fun widow,” she doesn't even get offended.
“I am really a cheerful woman, because I had a brilliant husband, a terrific actor and a man. We lived a fun life with him, ”she said in an interview with the 24 World TV channel.
Of course, after the death of her husband, Lyudmila Andreevna, she had to completely change her usual way of life, since she has a son Andrey and three grandchildren next to her, so today the actress happily plays the role of a mother and grandmother. She does not think about a new marriage, because it is simply impossible to find a second Karachentsov or at least a man equal to him in intelligence and erudition.
