Irina Krug is not only engaged in creativity after the death of her husband. The woman took up her education and in 2005 she graduated from a university in Tver, having received a red diploma in the specialty "manager".
Personal life
After graduating from school, Irina Glazko got married and gave birth to a daughter, Marina. The marriage broke up very quickly, and Irina had to get a job to support her family. The woman was taken as a waitress in one of the city bars. At that time, Glazko was 21 years old.
Irina worked as a waitress for two years. Once a popular bard and chanson performer Mikhail Krug (real name Vorobyov) came to Chelyabinsk on tour. When the "king of chanson" looked into the institution where Irina worked, the owner of the restaurant sent Glazko to serve the client's table. Mikhail Vladimirovich immediately noticed the girl and immediately offered Irina a job as a costume designer. Moreover, the salary promised by the Circle was very impressive. But Irina refused, explaining this by the impossibility of leaving a small child.
Irina Krug - "Let them talk"When the young woman had already forgotten about the tempting offer from the celebrity, the concert director of the Circle called Irina and repeated the offer. This time Irina agreed and went to Tver. It happened in 1999. For some time, Mikhail Krug did not show in any way that he was in love with his new dresser. Communication was emphasized intelligent, the couple addressed each other as "you". It seemed that the Circle was eyeing the girl before deciding to take a responsible step. By that time, Mikhail Vladimirovich had been divorced for 7 years.
The proposed marriage proposal was unexpected. Just at one point, the singer took the dresser Irina home and said that now they would live together. Mikhail Krug and Irina officially got married in 2001. The ceremony was not pretentious: the future spouses appeared at the registry office, as they say, “not at the parade” - in tracksuits.
Soon Krug adopted Marina and surrounded the girl with care. She fell in love with her stepfather and began to call Krug dad. But the spouses jokingly still called each other by their patronymic and continued to turn to “you”. Mikhail was easy with Irina, who had a calm, homely character. Together with the second half, the musician lived in perfect harmony.
In 2002, Mikhail and Irina Krug had a son, Alexander. But Sasha did not have time to remember his father: in the same year, the “king of chanson” was killed. According to Irina, the husband shielded the woman from bullets and thereby saved her life.
As the artist later recalled, she foresaw trouble and a few months before the tragedy she asked her husband to hire security, but Mikhail did not agree. On the contrary, the doors in the house practically did not close, and the guests succeeded each other. On the eve of the attack, Irina had a bad dream in which she saw a memorial service in their own house. In a dream, the woman began to look through the eyes of her husband, but did not find him. In the morning, Mikhail only laughed at the story of a strange dream.
In November 2012, the singer gave a detailed interview to the magazine "Caravan of stories", where she spoke about the murder of her husband, about life with Mikhail Krug and about life and work after the death of the musician. The material was released under the telling title “Irina Krug. With you and without you."
The personal life of Irina Krug improved in 2006 after the tragedy. The singer got married for the third time. The wedding took place without a magnificent celebration: the newlyweds quietly filed an application with the registry office and celebrated this day in nature with relatives.
Fans regarded this act as a betrayal of the memory of Mikhail Krug, but Irina does not think so. The woman is sure that Mikhail blessed the marriage, in an interview about the upcoming wedding, the singer admitted that she saw Krug in a dream in the form of an angel.
The relatives of the ex-husband also understood and accepted the act of the singer, the mother and sister of the Circle blessed Irina for a new marriage. Irina's husband is businessman Sergei Belousov. Irina's children adopted their stepfather and fell in love.
The couple bought an apartment in the capital, since they could not stay in the house where Krug was killed. On September 25, 2013, in Moscow, a common son Andrei appeared in the family of Irina and Sergey Belousov. Photos of children often appear in "Instagram" artists, and Sergei Belousov prefers to remain in the shadows.
Irina Krug amazes fans not only with new hits, but also with a great appearance. The girl, with every appearance in the world or on stage, demonstrates impeccable taste and a magnificent figure. With a height of 167 cm, her weight does not exceed 51 kg. In 2017, Irina changed her hairstyle, shortening her curls to a square, thanks to which she began to look much younger than her years.
In January 2018, Irina Krug hinted to reporters that she and her husband were on the verge of a divorce. The news for fans of the widow of Mikhail Krug was a shock, because Irina and Sergey were known as an ideal couple in musical circles. But the fatigue accumulated over 13 years of marriage made itself felt. After weighing all the pros and cons, the couple came to the conclusion that it is not worth ruining the relationship. Irina Krug took a break from the tour schedule, and the whole family - with her husband and children - went to the UAE.
Irina Krug now
In November 2017, Irina Krug pleased fans with a new work - the album "I'm Waiting", which became the 9th in a row in Irina's solo discography. A month later, the premiere of the video for the main song of the disc took place. In autumn, the artist also became a guest of the program “The Fate of a Man”. Together with the star mother, son Alexander also came to the talk show studio.
Irina Krug at the project "The Fate of a Man"In 2018, Irina Krug visited the Far East and Sochi on tour. The singer is preparing for solo concerts with the program "I'm waiting", which will be held at the Grand Kremlin Palace and the Oktyabrsky Concert Hall.
On the eve of the anniversary of the death of Mikhail Krug, thieves made their way into the house where Irina Krug's family now lives. The artist heard a rustle on the ground floor, but did not go down, because she thought that her husband was walking. What was the surprise of the family in the morning when they found traces of a break-in. Irina Krug reacted with excitement to this incident, because the last time such an entry into the house ended in tragedy. It is not yet clear what the criminals were looking for in the house, since no loss was found.

The tragic death cut short in the midst of the life of the singer in the chanson genre Mikhail Krug, beloved by many thousands of our compatriots. If the hand of the killers trembled, how many more songs could he sing? Probably, almost every fan of the singer thinks about this, in an instant they feel as if they were orphaned. However, in the hearts of beloved women - mothers, sisters and wife of Mikhail Krug Irina no doubt, along with such thoughts, others wander. About the fact that so little time was allotted for personal happiness, about the fact that the children were left without a father so early ...

During his 40-year biography, Mikhail Krug, of course, has seen different women. The first love for the dancer Marina, which covered him headlong at the age of 17, largely determined further relations with all other women. Trying his best to become better for her sake, he came to creativity precisely because of this reason. Nevertheless, when Mikhail Krug went into the army, her beloved did not wait, literally in a matter of months she became the wife of another, from whom she gave birth to a daughter. Naturally, the deceived lover who returned from the army suffered severely. This suffering, this love is reflected in the songs that the whole country is now singing.

Both the mother and the last wife describe Mikhail Krug as a person who needed a family, dreamed that children's laughter would sound in his house. Perhaps that is why, continuing to love Marina, he married Svetlana, who, by distribution, came to work at a local Tver garment factory. However, a strong family did not work out. Compared to Mikhail Krug, whose education was limited to the local vocational school, the wife and her parents considered themselves intellectuals, and they tried to force their son-in-law to “grow up” to their daughter by graduating from a polytechnic university. The future singer tried, but quickly realized that this path was not for him. The couple broke up when their little son Dmitry was only three years old. The boy remained with his father by court order. But it was thanks to persistent persuasion to study that Mikhail Krug became a famous and beloved singer of millions. After all, it was in the hall of the university that he came across an announcement about an author's song contest, with the victory in which the artist's creative biography began. Probably, Svetlana later regretted more than once that she overlooked such a talent.

After a divorce from his wife, Mikhail Krug for a short time again fell under the spell of his former lover, Marina, who by that time had managed to become a widow. True, this time, despite all his love, the performer himself found the strength to break off these relations, when he was finally convinced that, in addition to alcohol and partying, which did not make Marina an exemplary mother to his son, the girl was not interested in anything.

The performer met his second wife, Irina, in the Chelyabinsk restaurant "Malachite", where shortly before that the girl got a job in order to somehow make ends meet after the divorce. Possessing a patient and complaisant character, she tried for a long time to save her marriage with her husband, because he, in fact, was her first school love. Nevertheless, when her husband, who became a dentist after graduation, became addicted to medications and became elementary dangerous, she could not stand it and left with her little daughter to her mother. The daughter of Irina Glazko (the surname of the second wife before meeting with the Circle), by the way, is named Marina. Apparently, the singer liked the girl at first sight, whose name was already in full swing throughout the country. Otherwise, it is simply impossible to explain the sudden offer to work for him as a costume designer, because until that day the performer had no such position in the team. The future wife did not immediately agree, because she was worried about her daughter and was simply afraid to be in a delicate position. However, a few months later, when the offer was made a second time, she took a chance.

For a whole year, the relationship between Mikhail Krug and the new costume designer did not go beyond the working ones. Both looked at each other. And then the romance began, which the lovers initially hid. Irina Krug turned out to be a great hostess, she managed to get along with the eldest son of the singer Dmitry. Yes, and her daughter Marina called the performer dad. Not wanting to live "in fornication", as he called it, Mikhail Krug took his beloved to the registry office. Irina recalls that he immensely spoiled her with expensive gifts, although sometimes, of course, he was a little strict. In family quarrels, tears were the main weapon of the wife of Mikhail Krug. As soon as they appeared in front of his beloved, he immediately cooled down and tried to make peace. The youngest son of the singer Alexander was born in marriage. Unfortunately, the family did not have time to enjoy quiet happiness, because a few months after the birth of the son of the performer, he died.
Having managed to survive the tragedy, Irina Krug not only took the stage with her husband's repertoire and became famous, but for the third time in 2006 she married businessman Sergei, to whom she also gave birth to a child. Now she is happy, although the memories of her ex-husband are not erased from her memory - he taught her too much and managed to give too much.
Irina Viktorovna Krug (maiden name Glazko, after Vorobyov's spouse) - singer, widow of the famous performer Mikhail Krug (Vorobiev).Childhood of Irina Krug
The future singer was born in a military family. As a child, Ira Glazko was engaged in the theater circle of the Chelyabinsk House of Culture, and all the time she dreamed of becoming an actress. However, she did not immediately begin to realize her dream - to be famous and go on stage. At 21, the future star went to work as a waitress. For two years she worked in one of the city restaurants, where she got a job after the girl's first marriage broke up. It was there that she met the famous Russian chanson singer-songwriter Mikhail Krug.By that time, Irina was familiar with the work of Mikhail Krug firsthand. The artist's songs were very much liked by the girl's first husband. However, Ira did not share her husband's enthusiasm, but listened to Tanya Bulanova.
Acquaintance with Mikhail Krug
Once the director of the restaurant approached the waitress Irina and announced that Mikhail Krug was giving a concert in Chelyabinsk, and then had dinner at their catering establishment. The employer gave Irina an instruction that the famous guest should eat well, and was pleased with the visit. The girl carefully watched so that garlic, onions and tomatoes, which he cannot stand, did not get into Mikhail's plate. Bringing and taking away dishes. Unexpectedly for everyone and in front of everyone, Mikhail Krug made a tempting offer to Irina - to work for him as a costume designer.And then he announced the estimated salary. Moreover, she was quite impressive. In response, the girl said that she could not go because she had a small child. The future celebrity refused to work.
However, she was shocked by this incident. The girl could not understand why the All-Russian star needed an unknown girl from Chelyabinsk, who, moreover, was 14 years younger than him. Nobody believed such a proposal, everyone kept saying that Irina came up with this story. However, a few months later, the director of Mikhail Krug called the girl and said: “The circle has already pulled me! Are you going with him or not?" The girl agreed to the repeated proposal.
By the way, Mikhail was not embarrassed by the fact that the girl he took to Tver had a daughter from her first marriage. A little later, he took responsibility for her upbringing, and the girl began to call the artist dad. In 2001, Irina and Mikhail Krug became official husband and wife.
However, before the wedding and before the start of the novel, Mikhail kept Irina at a distance for about a year. Relations did not go beyond business. As the girl herself says, the artist seemed to be looking at her and checking, not in a hurry with the choice of a life partner. At that time, Mikhail had been alone for eight years. And a year later, after a kind of “check”, Krug simply took Irina to his home and said: “That's it, we will live together.” “It's funny, but we got married in tracksuits! Misha and I just left the house and went to the store for groceries. On the way there was a registry office. Misha says to me: “So, that's it, I decided! Let's go!" In the registry office, of course, they recognized him: “Oh, Mikhail Vladimirovich!”. You can say right on the doorstep, he said: “Please, we urgently need to sign!”. And then he went for passports and champagne. By the way, in the registry office for some reason I was stamped in the wrong place. And then they apologized for a long time and said: “Irina, we saw how you stood, blinked your eyes, and did not understand at all what was happening here.”
Before and after marriage, Irina and Mikhail addressed each other by name and patronymic and “you”. All because they got used to it during work, and after the wedding it even began to amuse them.
A year after the wedding, in 2002, Mikhail and Irina had a son. The boy was named Alexander. But the kid did not even have time to remember his father. In the same year, on the night of June 30 to July 1, when the baby was not even a month and a half old, unknown people killed Mikhail Krug in his own house.
Irina, before the death of her husband, foresaw trouble. A few months before the tragedy, she constantly begged Mikhail to hire security. The family lived too openly: someone constantly came to visit, the doors were wide open and sometimes they were not even locked at night. Once the artist had a dream that in their house a crowd of people were mourning someone, and Irina could not find Mikhail among them. Krug ridiculed such a dream: “Irina Viktorovna, then I will live a long time!”. However…
The criminals made their way into the house on an ominous night and hid on the third floor. Children and Mikhail Krug were on the second. The third was Irina's mother. The attackers first attacked her and began to choke her. The young mistress of the house went up to her mother, saw her unconscious on the floor, people in masks and began to scream. When Mikhail came running, the criminals opened fire. The singer covered his wife from bullets and was injured himself. While the ambulance was on the way, Krug encouraged his wife, however, he died on the way to the hospital.
Irina Krug's career after her husband's death
After the death of Mikhail Krug, Irina was offered to record several songs in memory of her famous husband. This idea was thrown by the singer-songwriter Vladimir Bocharov. As a result, in 2004 the first album of Irina the singer was released. It was called "The First Autumn of Separation". However, there the artist sings a duet with a close friend of her late husband, Leonid Teleshov. A year later, Irina Krug became the winner of the Chanson of the Year award. The girl was nominated as "Discovery of the Year". A year later, in the spring of 2006, the singer released her second album, "To You, My Last Love." The record with songs to the verses and music of Mikhail Krug was produced by Vadim Tsyganov.Irina Krug on video
It is worth noting that Mikhail did not teach Irina to sing and did not even think of her as a singer. The couple dreamed of children and a peaceful old age. “If you want to sing, I’ll buy you karaoke,” Krug said to his wife. And after the death of Mikhail, the widow found recordings from an unfinished album and took up vocals.
In the same year, Irina Krug received a red diploma of higher education. The artist graduated from Tver State University, where she studied at the Faculty of Management.
In 2006, Irina Krug got married again. Her chosen one was now a man not from the creative circle, but with a more mundane profession - a businessman named Sergey.
“Many after the next marriage condemned me. But these people had no idea how hard it was for me to lose a loved one and live alone with two children! But I managed to love again.
My husband and I bought an apartment in Moscow (it became impossible to live in the house where the crime happened, everything reminded of the tragedy), we earned a bit of it, however, we still had to get into debt. My children like the person who is next to us. It is very important for me. I did not betray either Misha, or, moreover, the memory of him. Michael is the best thing in my life. He often dreams of me. And he always appears in a white suit with the words: "Irina Viktorovna, I love you." I think he would not want me to be alone and I'm sure he's happy for me. By the way, in a difficult situation, I always ask him: “Mikhail Vladimirovich, help me, and I believe that before the concerts Misha helps me and gives me strength,” says Irina Krug.
Irina and Mikhail Krug
In total, Irina Krug has released seven music records and actively goes on tour. It is noteworthy that fans of the work of Mikhail Krug mainly go to her concerts.
Irina Krug now
The latest album by Irina Krug was released in 2015. The disc of 12 songs was called "Mother Love".The famous Russian chanson singer Mikhail Krug tragically died in his private house in Tver in 2002. He was killed by unknown individuals who were never found. Many years later, the criminal case was suspended.
Until now, many people listen to his songs. Meanwhile, little is known about his personal life, about how many children he had and who they became almost 15 years after his death.
Children of Michael Krug
Mikhail Krug was married twice. His first wife Svetlana was a singer and performed with her musical group. It was she who inspired the author of future hits to try to become a pop performer. Prior to that, Mikhail worked at a factory, and wrote songs in his spare time.
So many wonderful hits appeared, including the famous song "Vladimir Central", which became the standard for all chanson performers.
The son of Mikhail Krug from his first marriage was born a year before their separation from Svetlana, who could not stand her husband's constant betrayals and left. Mikhail himself, speaking about their divorce, said that the reason was Svetlana's inability and unwillingness to create a cozy family hearth. Svetlana toured a lot.
Mikhail met his second wife Irina in a restaurant where she worked as a waitress. He was 14 years older than her, so the girl did not immediately decide to marry him, although she already had a broken marriage and a little daughter behind her.
The son of Mikhail Krug and Irina was born a month before his death.
It is tragic that Mikhail could not see how his children grow up, could not participate in their upbringing, he passed away too early.
Eldest son of Mikhail Krug
Dmitry was born in 1988. When the boy was barely a year old, his parents divorced. The famous artist decided that the child should stay with his father. He won the trial, although it is usually very difficult. Little Dima began to live in his father's family.
Michael was a very busy person. Constant touring, songwriting, performances took all the time. Therefore, Dima's upbringing was handled by her grandmother Zoya Petrovna, Krug's mother.
By the way, the real name of Mikhail Krug is Vorobyov. His son has the same surname.
Zoya Petrovna herself took Dima to kindergarten, and then to school, spent all her free time with him. Mother Svetlana took her son to her place only for the weekend.
Grandmother notes that the grandson was very different in character from his father in childhood. Dima grew up quieter, calmer, he liked to sit at the computer and make something.
The education that Dmitry Krug received
The son of Mikhail Krug from his first marriage was left without a father at the age of 14. It's an explosive adolescence. Therefore, all relatives: grandmother, father's elder sister Olga Medvedeva, mother Svetlana - decided that the child should be protected first of all. The idea was submitted by one of the close friends of the late artist Vasily Ivanovich Kisilev, who at that time was the head of the traffic police in the Tver region.
He offered to transfer Dmitry from an ordinary school to a cadet corps. At first, the boy did not like it there, but over time he got involved. Constructions, roll calls, form - there was no time for various sad thoughts.
After graduating from the cadet corps, Dmitry decided to enter the St. Petersburg University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Aunt, Olga Medvedeva, persuaded him for a long time to change his mind and enter Tver, after all, the house is closer, but Dmitry insisted on his own and graduated with honors from the university, receiving the rank of lieutenant.
Career success
In the newspapers now and then there is information about the awarding of one or another title to Dmitry Vorobyov. At the moment he has risen to the rank of captain. Dima devoted more than 10 years to the police service, his superiors praise him very much.
It is interesting that the artist himself always spoke very negatively about law enforcement officers, devoting all his songs to prisoners, criminal authorities and thieves in law.
Dmitry notes that he is very pleased with the police service, he likes working there.
Appearance and character of Dmitry
The first son of Mikhail Krug is very similar to him. Here, the figure, and appearance, and voice - everything resembles a favorite artist. But despite the obvious similarities, Dmitry does not know how to sing at all and has never studied music.
He does not like to give interviews and be photographed. Moreover, Dmitry Krug, the son of Mikhail Krug, is reputed to be a closed and closed person.
His aunt explains that he has always been like this. Meanwhile, the eldest son of Mikhail Krug, although laconic, is kind and sympathetic, he loves good company and tells jokes well, loves to joke. In this he also took after his father.
Personal life of Dmitry Vorobyov
Little is known about Dmitry's personal life. He continues to live with his old grandmother in Tver, in the house where his father was killed.
Dmitry will soon be 30 years old, but he is still not married. He likes to spend his free time in his house, enjoys reading science fiction novels, playing on the computer, playing sports.
In his house, a whole room is dedicated to his father, the famous chansonnier and songwriter Mikhail Krug. There are many things he remembers, all the walls are hung with photographs. Such a kind of home museum.
Alexander Mikhailovich Krug
According to the grandmother - the mother of the Circle, Sasha sings well, composes poetry. No wonder his mother predicts glory and success in the pop field for him in the future.
Alexander and his family
Zoya Petrovna Vorobyova, Sasha's grandmother, grandson and ex-daughter-in-law rarely visit. But these meetings are simply unforgettable for the old woman. She lives with memories, and the voice of her youngest grandson reminds her of the voice of her beloved son Misha.
When Irina Krug, after the death of Mikhail, decided to marry again after five years, Zoya Petrovna was the first to bless her for a third marriage. She knew better than anyone what the young woman had gone through. Indeed, on the night of the murder of the Circle, Irina and three children were in the same house, but on different floors. And only miraculously survived the shootout.
Irina met her new husband, businessman Sergey, in a year later they got married. Sasha treated his stepfather well, because he never had a real father.
Now Sasha and Sergey spend a lot of time together, go hiking, go fishing, they have many common hobbies. The boy even began to call Irina's new husband dad. But, of course, he does not forget his origin either, he has many photographs of Mikhail, he is familiar with his repertoire and often listens to his songs.
In 2013, Irina gave birth to a son, Andrei, so Sasha got a little brother.
He has friendly relations with his older brother Dmitry. Dmitry comes to stay with them in Moscow, they have common interests, such as ship modeling.
Mikhail Krug, whose biography is full of interesting, sometimes inexplicable facts, earned the status of "King of Chanson" during his lifetime. He was a cheerful, purposeful, talented, generous person, had a strong disposition and clearly knew what he wanted from life.
Childhood and youth
The birthday of Mikhail Krug (Vorobiev) is celebrated by his family and fans on April 7th. In 1962, a boy was born in one of the Tver maternity hospitals. The baby was born a real hero: 4800 kg for a baby is a decent weight. The midwives immediately nicknamed the stout man "Mishutka", my mother did not object.
Misha Vorobyov's childhood unfolded according to the standard scenario of average Russian families. Living in a "small family", the working days of parents, a kindergarten, life from "salary to salary". At one year, Misha spoke, at three he went to kindergarten, at seven - to school.
The future bard did not like to study, he often skipped classes. As a child, he told his mother that he wanted to be a driver. He studied at a music school in the bayan class, but dropped out. When at the age of 11 his parents gave his son a guitar, he became interested in music in earnest. Having mastered the instrument on his own, Mikhail began to write poetry. The young talent was carried away by the work of Vysotsky and imitated his manner of performance, good vocal data allowed.
Studies
After school, Mikhail entered the school, decided to master the profession of an auto repairman. After studying, the young man went into the army, he served in Ukraine. After a while, his childhood dream came true - he got a job as a driver in the Association of Freight Vehicles. Worked as a driver for 10 years. Thanks to leadership abilities, great experience and responsibility, he was appointed head of the motorcade.
The company sent him to study at the local Polytechnic University. Mikhail did not want to master the basics of science, long couples were too tiring for his cheerful disposition. Vorobyov left the institute, and changed the place of honor of the head to the driver's steering wheel. Many songs of Mikhail Krug were written during this period, although he composed them "on the table".

Death of Mikhail Krug
Mikhail Krug, whose biography tells about forty years of the artist's life, died under unclear circumstances. In the summer of 2002, the singer's house, located in the suburbs of Tver, was attacked. Three unidentified men entered the house and opened fire. The events of this tragic evening on June 31 unfolded very rapidly. Almost at midnight, when the Krug spouses were putting the children to bed, they heard a noise on the third floor of their house. At that moment, Irina's mother was there. Mikhail's mother-in-law said that while she was watching TV, masked people burst into the room. The woman received a blow to the head, one of the attackers tried to strangle her, at that moment the spouses came running. A shot rang out, then another.
Mikhail Krug covered his wife and received two wounds. Irina started to run. Mikhail lost consciousness when he came to his senses, was able to reach the neighbors and call an ambulance. Doctors were unable to save him and he died in the hospital. No one knows how events unfolded on that ill-fated night. The narrow corridor in the star's house was all smeared with bloody footprints. The singer's dog was shot dead, with a piece of clothing from one of the criminals left in its teeth.
Versions of the crime
The death of Mikhail Krug was a real shock for his relatives and fans. Theories of crime began to emerge. The police, friends and admirers of the singer's talent were looking for those involved in the murder of this man. One of the versions was the singer's disputes with the Tver thieves in law, but, as it turned out, Mikhail Krug was friends with many of them, and on the singer's grave, some vowed to punish the perpetrators.
The second, most plausible version is an accidental murder for the purpose of robbery. At that time, several rich cottages were robbed in Tver. There was a group of people in masks. Just the singer was at home by accident. On this day, there was a big holiday on the embankment, the robbers thought that the owner of the house would not be.
The third version - Mikhail Krug, whose biography is full of interesting facts, became a victim of a contract killing. There were rumors that the mega-popularity of the performer haunted some of his colleagues in the music department.
Another theory is that Krug's death could have been planned by his wife Irina. This version is similar to the gossip of the "yellow press", but still it took place. The wife of the deceased even testified on a lie detector. Many noted that immediately after the death of her husband, Irina began to arrange her solo career, took his pseudonym. On the fortieth day after the death of the bard in Tver, a concert was organized in memory of Mikhail Krug. The group of the singer "Fellow Traveler" did not participate in this concert, but Irina sang. Some close to Mikhail's family claim that the spouses have recently had serious disagreements against the backdrop of creativity. Irina wanted to sing solo, but Mikhail was categorically against it. After all, the popular singer was a conservative to the marrow of his bones and believed that a woman's destiny was life, children and family.
Ten years after the death of the artist, his friends said they found out who committed this daring crime and punished those responsible. They clarified that the murder of the favorite performer of millions of people around the planet was an accident.
