What is the voice of Mikhail Krug. Favorite women of Michael circle

The "King of Russian chanson", as many still call him, died nine years ago in Tver - on July 1. Our correspondent visited the house of Mikhail Krug and learned a lot from his personal life.

Peonies bloom sweetly in the yard, birds chirp. I can’t believe at all that it was in this house, where everything is so peaceful now, that two unknown men in black masks shot Mikhail Krug with a pistol in front of his wife. From his wounds, the singer died in the hospital.

- The prosecutor's office promised that the killers would be found. And what? I ask Krug's sister Olga, who now lives with her family in her brother's house.

- So far, the prosecutor's office has not told us anything new. Who killed Misha, it is not known for what motives - too.

In the back of the yard there is another house, Krug built it for his mother. Zoya Petrovna Vorobyeva worked with her grandchildren. One of her hands is bandaged.

- It broke in the spring, but the plaster has already been removed. She leads me into a room where all the walls are hung with portraits of her son. “Three years after Misha’s death, I fancied a knock on the window. During his lifetime, he sometimes woke up at three in the morning. "Mish, well, I was sleeping." And he: “Mom, don’t you want to see me?” Not so long ago I had a dream: a lot of people, Misha is sitting on some kind of elevation. And in the crowd I shout to him: “Misha, Misha, do you know what your Sashka has become?” This is his youngest son. And Misha says to me: “Mom, I know everything, I see everything.”

First wife

Leafing through the family album. In the faded photo I see Mikhail's first wife, Svetlana. She came to Tver by distribution after the Kharkov Institute of Light Industry. She worked in a garment factory. A friend of the Circle introduced them.

- Misha was 25, she was 24. They are completely different in character, - Zoya Petrovna admits. - Sveta has golden hands, she sews and knits. But the language is very sharp. She couldn't stand that Misha came drunk. She put an end to it early. Or maybe the parents played a role. Sveta's mother is a teacher, and her father is an ophthalmologist. They wanted her to choose a worthy one, and Misha has an education - a vocational school. They began to put pressure: “Here we have such a Sveta, you need to catch up.” Misha went to the polytechnic, then abandoned it, said: "This is not mine."

It was at the Polytechnic University that Mikhail saw on the board an announcement about an author's song contest, from which his pop career began. But the wife soon left the Circle. His son Dima was about 3 years old, Mikhail left the child to himself by a court decision.

“I took Dima to the kindergarten and went to school for parent-teacher meetings,” my grandmother recalls. - Sveta took her son only for the weekend. After 14 years, Olya worked more with Dima. When the grandson went to enter Leningrad, they met at the station - Olya, Dima and Sveta. Sveta went on vacation to her parents, and Olya and Dima took exams.

Does Dima look like his father?

- Not good. Misha was active. At school every now and then he received remarks for running and fighting. And Dima is calm, homely. At the computer all the time. For hours he could collect puzzles, he was fond of origami.

Now the eldest son of the Circle works as a lawyer in the Department of Internal Affairs of the Tver Region.

Marina

Few people know that there was a fatal love in the life of the Circle. The name of this woman - Marina - sounds in one of his songs. It was to her that Krug devoted most of his creations, including “My Queen”, where there is a line “My heart has decayed to gray ash ...”

He met her in a restaurant - Marina performed in ballet. She is 17 years old, he is about that.

“Marina was beautiful,” recalls Zoya Petrovna. - Long curly hair ... They met secretly from me - they spent the night at Misha's friend's apartment. When the son left for the army, he said: “I didn’t sign with Marinka, but while I serve, take her to you.” He was afraid of losing her and wanted me to look after her. But she stayed with her parents.

In less than two months, Misha sent a letter home: “Mom, find out why Marinka is not answering. Maybe she got sick? Zoya Petrovna went to the girl.

- I asked her: “What do you have with Misha?” She says, "I'll write to him." For some reason, there were a lot of flowers in the apartment. I return home, and my husband was taken aback: “You don’t know that Marina got married? At the store, my friend Mishin came across, and he said.

With her husband, Marina left for Urengoy - he got a job there as a club manager. She gave birth to a daughter. But the husband got hooked on drugs and soon died. Marina returned to Tver and began to teach dance in a circle. She was a good dancer, studied with Alla Dukhova, but broke her leg and no longer performed on stage.

- Once Mikhail came home excited: “You know, mom, I met Marinka,” continues Zoya Petrovna. - I went to a friend, and Marina opened the door. Soon she and Misha started dating again. He loved her very much. Once he said: “I will sign with Marinka.” I told him: "Only over my corpse." I didn't believe her. Then one of his friends whispered something to him, and Misha fell behind Marina.

Did you communicate with her after the death of your son?

- No. She never came to us...

I tried to find Marina in the market on Nogina Boulevard, where, according to rumors, she sold perfume. One woman remembered:

She worked here for a short time. I used to know her - Krug hid her in our village. I wanted to hide from my friends that I was drinking.
A friend of the Circle, Leonid Teleshev, told me that he had not seen Marina for a long time:

- When Misha broke up with her, he was very homesick. I am driving, and he is standing near her house in his car. Guarded, as in childhood.

Second wife

After Marina Krug lived alone for eight years. In 1999, in Chelyabinsk, I saw a black-haired waitress in the Malachite restaurant. She was 14 years younger than him. When I met her before, Irina told about the first meeting with the Circle:

- I'm clearing the table, and Mikhail suddenly says to me: “Sit down with us. I want to offer you a job." I think, well, that's it, he's making fun of me. village. I am silent. He offered to work for him as a dresser. He promised a good salary. And I have a situation - I broke up with my first husband, a little daughter in her arms. Only a year later I made up my mind. The first time I flew with Krug to Volgograd. Everything was ironed and cooked for him. Then he brought me to Tver.

And here is what Krug's mother says about her:

- Misha brought the girl and said: "Here, he is doing my costumes." At first he rented a one-room apartment for her. Then: "What am I going to pay money for an apartment, let him live here." Well, I understood why he invited her. He bought Ira a white dress, and they signed. Her daughter Marina, she was five years old, called Misha dad. Then their son was born. Sasha was only a month old when Misha passed away.

Now Irina Krug has moved to Moscow, married Sergei, her press secretary. And she has already become a famous singer. Many go to her concerts to see what kind of wife Krug had.

Interestingly, Irina knew about Marina:

- Mikhail is by nature such a monogamous. I wonder what he saw in her? Probably just loved, that's all. And I hooked him with my sincerity. He really wanted a family. And I'm glad I gave him something.

... Each of the women, once loved by the Circle, lives her own life. The others are now men. And only mother still mourns her son.

“It was so bright with him,” she says. - And it ended so abruptly that it seems to me: was it all a dream?!

Mikhail Krug is a famous Russian performer who received the status of the king of Russian chanson. His hit "Vladimirsky Central" became a kind of sample of musical works in the genre of "prison romance". The songs of the Circle are known by heart even by people who are far from chanson, not only in Russia, but also far beyond the borders of the country.

Childhood and youth

Mikhail Vorobyov, better known as Mikhail Krug, was born on April 7, 1962 in Tver.

The young man was fond of music, he liked songs. Having received a guitar as a gift from his parents, the guy soon performed in front of the yard guys with songs. On the recommendation of teachers from the music school, Mikhail began to attend accordion lessons, but Vorobyov's patience was only enough for six months. Education was never particularly fascinated by a teenager, even in high school he often ran away from lessons.

Death

Krug's life was cut short suddenly: on the night of July 1, 2002, unknown persons attacked his house. The criminals beat the singer's mother-in-law, and he himself was shot with pistols. The wife managed to hide in the neighbors' house, and the children were not injured due to the fact that they slept in their rooms. Having recovered from his injuries, Mikhail managed to reach the nearest house, from where a neighbor took him to the hospital. Doctors provided the singer with the necessary assistance, but in the morning the musician died from his injuries.

Biography, life story of the Circle of Michael

Mikhail Vladimirovich Krug is a poet, bard, performer of songs in the chanson style.

early years

Mikhail Vladimirovich Krug was born (real name - Vorobyov) on April 7, 1962 in the old district of the city of Tver, which was called Morozovskiy Gorodok (later it became known as the "Proletarka Yard"; the song "My Dear City" was written about it).

Misha's father, Vladimir Mikhailovich Vorobyov, was a civil engineer, served as head of communications for the Moscow-Riga Highway Administration in Tver. Mom Zoya Petrovna worked as an accountant at a cotton mill. Vladimir passed away in 1995, Zoya - at the beginning of 2019.

Mikhail with his parents and older sister Olga lived in a small room in the barracks. When Misha was very young, he dreamed of becoming a driver. With age, the desire changed - Mikhail wanted to become a musician. On his 11th birthday, he received a guitar as a gift from his parents. Misha was terribly glad to get his own musical instrument. Their neighbor knew how to play a little, it was he who showed the teenager a few chords. It took Mikhail only a few days to learn them.

One fine day, the teachers of the local music school heard Misha improvising on the guitar, and immediately suggested that his parents send their son to study. But the Vorobyovs did not rush into this - their financial situation was not the best. They had just bought a piano for their eldest daughter Olya and were not at all ready to go broke for a music school. Fortunately, Misha turned out to be so talented that he was admitted to the school on a budget basis. So the boy became a student of the button accordion class. True, Mikhail studied for only six months - he fell in love with playing the button accordion right away, but boring solfeggio lessons were given to him with difficulty. And in the end, he just quit.

In high school, Mikhail also studied poorly. He often skipped classes, did not complete assignments. But Misha was very fond of sports - he played hockey and football, stood at the gate.
