The widow of the member of the Lyube group Pavel Usanov, Juliana, who died on April 19, is experiencing the loss of her beloved. According to the woman, what happened to the bass player in a bar near Moscow was an absolute accident. However, the day before, Pavel's mother had a bad dream about her son.

Juliana and Pavel got married in 2013. The musician's wife also played the guitar and sang songs. Shortly before his death, Usanov signed up his wife for the casting of the TV project "Voice". Juliana says that now she will have to go there for the sake of Pavel. The woman remembered that on the day when the fight broke out, Pavel did everything that was unusual for him.

According to Yuliana, during the fast, Usanov agreed to go with his friend Alexander to celebrate the birth of his daughter.

“I did not dissuade and left on business. And when she returned, she found her husband at Alexander's for cognac, which, like other strong drinks, he never particularly complained about. I was very tense, began to persuade him to go home. The husband promised that he would be there soon, but he never came, ”said Usanova’s wife.

Pavel was brought home in a state of intoxication by the guards of the village. Only in the morning in Dmitrov's hospital it turned out that he had a fracture of the frontal bone and numerous bruises of the brain. Thanks to the leader of the Lyube group, Nikolai Rastorguev, Usanov was taken to the Sklifosovsky Research Institute on an ambulance.

Usanova's wife said that her husband became a participant in a brawl with two residents of Odessa in a bar. Pavel and his neighbor Alexander celebrated the birth of their son there. Usanov accidentally hit a man at the bar with his elbow. The visitor of the bar reacted aggressively to such a gesture. It turned out to be Maxim Dobry, who is now suspected of brutally beating the musician.

“When the institution began to close, Alexander, without saying a word, got up and went home. The Odessans also left. Pasha, Dobry and his friend, who had just called a taxi, stayed at the bar. When the car arrived, Dobry refused to leave. But I know for sure that if he had attacked my husband alone, Pasha would have instantly put him on his shoulder blades. Definitely, several people attacked him, which is confirmed by the witness, who watched everything from the window of his house, ”Yuliana revealed the details of what happened to Usanov. According to the woman, the musician was beaten professionally - so that no traces were left.

Pavel's wife recalls that that evening Pavel left home without a pectoral cross, that is, he was left without protection. And shortly before that, he starred in a video with a guitar that he inherited from the tragically deceased member of Lube. Nikolai Rastorguev previously also claimed that there is something mystical in the death of a bass player.

“I worried for a long time: suddenly we missed precious time without immediately calling an ambulance. But the doctors said that the injury was so serious that it was impossible to prevent brain-destroying processes, ”Yuliana said in a frank interview with Express Gazeta.

Recall that the doctors fought for Usanov's life for about 17 days, they performed a craniotomy operation, but could not save the musician's life. From his first marriage, Pavel had a daughter, Sofia, and a son, Vasya.

Lube is a Russian rock band created with the participation of producer Igor Matvienko. The frontman of the group since its inception in 1989 is Nikolai Rastorguev. "Lube" performs patriotic songs with elements of folk music and "yard chanson".

History of the group

In 1989, Igor Matvienko, then a novice producer of the Record studio, decided to create a musical group that would be radically different from all the popular domestic groups of that time. The basis of the repertoire of the newly minted team was to be made up of songs of military-patriotic themes and lyrical ballads with elements of the author's song and folk motives.

The composer nurtured this idea for several years, and during this time, in collaboration with the poet Alexander Shaganov, he accumulated a sufficient amount of musical material. But with the search for a soloist, certain problems arose. At first, the producer offered to lead the new group to his longtime friend and classmate at the music school Sergey Mazaev, but he refused and advised his friend Nikolai Rastorguev to participate in the competition for this place, who had previously performed with Matvienko in the VIA “Hello, song!”.

And although at the first audition the singer did not impress Matvienko, he nevertheless took him on tour with him. Also, the first composition of Lube included bassist Alexander Nikolaev, guitarist Vyacheslav Tereshonok, drummer Rinat Bakhteev and keyboardist Alexander Davydov. However, quite quickly, changes took place in the line-up: Yuri Ripyakh took the place of the drummer, and Vitaly Loktev began playing the synthesizer instead of Davydov. Also in Lube they took the second guitarist Alexander Weinberg and backing vocalist Alexei Tarasov.

January 14, 1989 is considered the birthday of "Lyube" - on this day the first songs "Old Man Makhno" and "Lyubertsy" were recorded.

The main stages of creativity

The first compositions of the group immediately became the leaders of domestic charts. In March 1989, the team went on their first tour of Russia. Music and arrangements for the band were written by Matvienko, and Alla Pugacheva advised the musicians to wear post-war uniforms at her annual Christmas Meetings. In the same year, the guys performed at the musical break “What? Where? When?".

Lube - Roulette (1989, "What? Where? When?")

The new team, which stood out sharply against the background of sugary-caramel sweet-voiced colleagues on the stage with its stern appearance and hooligan, somewhat aggressive repertoire, immediately attracted wide interest and attention of the public.

The group was named "Lyube" in honor of Lyubertsy, Rastorguev's hometown. According to another version, the word "lube" has Ukrainian roots and means "any, anyone." Everyone can interpret the name of the group as he wants, Rastorguev believes.

In 1990, the group appeared on television, became the laureate of the "Song of the Year", and cassettes with their songs filled all the recording kiosks. In the same year, the pilot album "Atas" was released, and in the spring of 1991 the group gave several concerts at the "Olympic" with a new concert program "All Power - Lyube".

At the same time, the team began filming their first professional video clip "Don't Play the Fool, America", which was created using elements of computer graphics and animation. This video work was awarded a special prize at one of the prestigious international festivals.

Lube - Don't play the fool, America (the first clip of the group)

At the end of 1991, it was decided to replenish the group with a choir. So backing vocalists Evgeny Nasibulin and Oleg Zenin appeared in the line-up (later he and Weinberg together founded the Our Business group). Instead of Ripyakh, who left the group, Alexander Erokhin, who previously played in the Gulyai Pole group, sat on the drums.

By the end of 1992, Lube released another album and gave a total of about eight hundred concerts, bringing together almost three million people. 1994 was marked by the release of the film "Lube Zone", which included new songs that compare favorably with the previous ones in sound, theme and sound quality. A special place in the work of the group was occupied by the composition "Horse", which for decades became its hallmark. At the premiere of the song in Sevastopol, Nikolai Rastorguev could not hold back his tears on stage, and this touching moment, which was aired, made a huge impression on the fans of the band.

Lube - Horse

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Victory, the song "Combat" was presented, which became a cult for several generations of the inhabitants of our country and was recognized as the best in 1995. A year later, the group released a disc of the same name, which included duets in Lyudmila Zykina and Rolan Bykov. The track list includes compositions that are well known even to those who are not interested in the work of "Lube": "Samovolochka", "The main thing is that I have you", "Moscow streets".

In August 1996, bassist Alexander Nikolaev got into a fatal accident. Andrey Danilin joined the group, having lasted a year in the group. In 1997, Pavel Usanov took his place.

Over the following years, "Lube" repeatedly became laureates of the "Golden Gramophone" and "Song of the Year", and their heartfelt, sincere and heartfelt compositions could be heard in popular domestic TV series. For example, the series “Plot” with Sergei Bezrukov was opened by the lyrical “Birches”, and “Border. Taiga novel" by Alexander Mitta - "You carry me, river." The songs "Call me softly by name" and "Let's break through, opera!" became the calling card of the series "Deadly Force".

"Lube Zone" (full movie)

By the tenth anniversary of the group, a new album was presented and a grandiose tour was organized, which ended with a large-scale performance at the Olimpiysky Sports Complex, which lasted about three hours.

In the fall of 2002, President Vladimir Putin and his wife Lyudmila visited a concert of the Lyube group, praised their work and invited the musicians to visit their Sochi residence. Then Rastorguev became the People's Artist of the Russian Federation. In general, the group does not hide its conservative political views and actively supports United Russia, often giving concerts in support of it.

In 2005, in support of the next album "Scattering", several grandiose concerts were held in the capital, in which Sergey Mazaev, Nikolai Fomenko, Nikita Mikhalkov, the orchestra of officers of the Alpha group took part. One of the songs in a duet with Nikolai Rastorguev was performed by Igor Matvienko himself, who usually appears very rarely in public.

In 2009, Lube backing vocalist Anatoly Kuleshov tragically died in an accident.

In 2015, in Lyubertsy, a sculpture “Dusya-aggregate” was installed in honor of the group, and Rastorguev became an honorary resident of the city. In the same year, the first album “For you, Motherland” was released after 6 years of silence, timed to coincide with two dates at once: the 25th anniversary of the group and the 55th anniversary of Igor Matvienko.

The song “The Dawns Here Are Quiet” from the new disc, sung together with the soldiers of the Alpha special forces unit, was included in the soundtrack of the remake “The Dawns Here Are Quiet ...” by Renat Davletyarova. And “Just Love” can be heard in the full-length military drama “August. Eighth "Dzhanik Faiziev.

In 2016, bassist Pavel Usanov died from a brawl in the Moscow region. He quarreled with restaurant visitors because of his position on the conflict in Donbass and was beaten to a coma, from which he never came out. By a strange coincidence, he died on the same day as Anatoly Kuleshov, 7 years later. Dmitry Streltsov became the new bassist of Lube.

In Moscow, without leaving a two-week coma, Pavel Usanov, the 40-year-old bass player of the Lyube group, died. Usanov was severely beaten on the night of April 2 after a quarrel in a bar near Moscow. The investigation claims that the cause of the fight was "personal hostility" between Usanov and his alleged offender. The friends of the murdered musician speak of Pavel's political position, which could have led to the tragedy. Ruposters collected all versions of the tragedy and memories of the musician "Lube".

Fight and hospital

It all started in a bar near Moscow in the Dmitrovsky district, where the musician celebrated the birthday of his good friend's son. MK, citing an anonymous source, writes that Pavel quarreled with two men, possibly from Ukraine, because of the situation in the South-East of the country. The first skirmish happened in a bar, but it quickly ended, reporters say.

The video, which was published by Life on April 22, shows that the situation was quite peaceful until Usanov and one of his offenders began to take turns "jokingly" practicing hand-to-hand combat techniques on each other. Obviously, everyone in the bar was in varying degrees of intoxication. For a few seconds, their fight stopped, the men argued for a while. Then (perhaps there was a splicing or recording delay at this point) an unknown man with a short haircut in dark clothes picks up Usanov and abruptly throws him to the floor.

"MK" claims that the skirmish continued at Usanov's house. The three attackers hit him from behind and beat him until they were driven away by the guards of the apartment complex. Although it is likely that the musician received a severe head injury after a fall in a bar. At the same time, Usanov cannot be called an unsportsmanlike person. The musician regularly kept fit by engaging in hand-to-hand combat and visiting the gym.

After the attack, Pavel asked his family not to be afraid and refused to go to the hospital, claiming that he would recover on his own. The very next day, Usanov was forced to see the doctors - his condition deteriorated sharply. After the examination, Usanov was urgently sent to Sklif for an operation, after which the musician fell into a coma, from which the doctors could not pull him out.

The next day, one of the suspects in the attack was arrested by the police. It turned out to be Maxim Dobry, a 39-year-old resident of the Solnechnogorsk district of the Moscow region, who works as a transportation manager. In the Life video, it is difficult to determine how old Usanov's offender is. Initially, the suspect faced eight years in prison for causing grievous bodily harm, but now the charge has been reclassified as “grievous bodily harm resulting in the death of the victim through negligence.”

For Donbass

Even before the beginning of the Ukrainian events, Usanov took a pronounced patriotic position. In particular, he, together with Evgeny Fedorov and Nikolai Starikov, took part in the all-Russian action "Media - stop lying", which was carried out in 2013 by the National Liberation Movement. During the rally, Usanov unequivocally spoke out condemning the policies of Western countries in the post-Soviet space.

According to “MK”, the Investigative Committee was initially confident in the “Ukrainian” version of the conflict. But journalists wrote about this, referring to an "unnamed source", there were no official statements during the two weeks that Usanov was in a coma.

The MK version was also confirmed by Usanov's close friend Zakhar Prilepin. He was the first to declare the "Ukrainian trace" in the conflict that led to the death of the musician, in a blog on REN-TV:

"Pasha was sitting in a bar, discussing exactly the same topics that we discussed with him - Donbass. It hurt with him - and, there is nothing to hide, we talked and talk about it often. There was someone in the cafe who "Apparently, they didn't like the conversation. They approached Pasha and hit him on the head. From behind. Face to face with him, the killer had much less chance. Pasha could stand up for himself."

Outcome: fracture of the base of the skull and intracerebral hematoma. Three weeks in a coma. The other day his wife Yulia asked to pray for the doctors. Today Pasha, without leaving the coma, died. People who kill for a word, for a position, for courage have bred.

He did not take up arms. He helped the kids."

Prilepin's publication was picked up by Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. On her Facebook page, she wrote that Usanov’s killers will have neither respect nor European values ​​until they “stop shooting people on Maidans, burning down trade union houses, and killing people in bars based on national ideological grounds,” alluding unambiguously to the ethnicity of the attackers. :

A few hours after the publication of "MK" and almost a day from the post of Prilepin, the UK released an official statement from its representative Vladimir Markin. He rejected the version of the inter-ethnic background of the conflict, referring to the "personal hostility" that arose between Usanov and Dobry:

“Of course, all versions of what happened will be checked as part of the investigation, but at this stage it is premature to draw unambiguous conclusions about the motive and circumstances of the crime. confirmation. So far, the version of the conflict based on personal hostility is being confirmed.

Contrary to the statement of the Investigative Committee, on April 22, Life published information about the attacker's belonging to one of the nationalist groups, which was established after analyzing his body tattoos. In the event that Usanov came into conflict with representatives of Russian or Ukrainian right-wing radical associations, the "political" version of the murder is more than likely. Many neo-Nazi associations sharply criticized the Donbass militias, and some radicals (for example, Roman Zukhel and other Azov fighters) went to the South-East of Ukraine to fight against the "Russians" and "cotton wool". April 22 with his new publication is confirmed and Zakhar Prilepin:

“Progressive publicists, I see, got excited and write long letters about the murdered Pasha. It is clear to them in advance that Pasha was “simply killed.” I repeat to you once again that there was a wildest, almost to the point of a fight, dispute with two Ukrainians on the topic of Donbass. there are many witnesses to this. Then Pasha came out and was attacked from behind. If this is such a coincidence, then ... But I don’t really believe in such coincidences, no matter what Markin says."

In August last year, Lyube soloist Nikolai Rastorguev was banned by the Ukrainian authorities from entering the country, and in January of this year, all the group's work fell under sanctions - their songs were forbidden to be played in public places and even to sing in karaoke bars. In a comment to Gazeta.ru, the Lube leader asked not to rush to conclusions until the end of the investigation. According to him, the band's bassist was "a completely non-aggressive and open person who did a lot of charity work and creativity."

Alexander Shaganov, the author of the texts of the hits of the Lyube group, also recalls the human qualities of the musician. He is sure that Usanov "died in battle":

Music at war

The bass player of "Lyube" never hid his position on the conflict in Donbass. Back in 2014, when the DPR declared its independence, Pavel, along with a small group of artists, went there to perform at a festive concert.

Usanov's acquaintances and friends say that the musician not only paid great attention to the topic of Donbass, but was closely involved in the fate of children who did not become refugees and remained to live in war conditions. In 2015, a charity concert “Great Donbass” took place, and in the same year, the musician twice held a children’s music competition “Native Spaces”, which took place right during the bombing of the cities of Donbass. Usanov also helped organize excursions for children from Donbass to Russian cities, and in an interview shared his impressions of communicating with young talents, whom he tried to arrange in the country's leading music universities.

Artem Artemov, editor-in-chief of the Russian Word magazine, in an interview with MK, emphasized that Pavel never took up arms - all his trips to the Donbass concerned exclusively children and charity. According to him, in 2014, when the Ukrainian army was constantly bombing the Donetsk region, Usanov went to orphanages, hospitals to sick and wounded children.

The fans of the group and Pavel himself took the tragedy in the musician's family very closely. When he ended up in intensive care, many responded to the request of Usanov's wife and sent money to his family.

Pavel Usanov, who left behind a wife and two children (he spoke very touchingly about their upbringing in one of the last videos), was buried in his native Novocheboksarsk on April 21.

Pavel Usanov is the bass player of the famous Russian band Lube. He was beaten on April 2, 2016 in one of the restaurants in the city of Dmitrov near Moscow. The injuries were so severe that the doctors could not save the musician. April 19 Pavel Usanov died.

The bass player of the Lyube group was hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury at the Moscow City Research Institute for Emergency Medicine named after N.V. Sklifosofsky. His condition was assessed as serious. Doctors fought for the life of Pavel Usanov for 17 days, but the injuries were too severe. It was not possible to save the musician.

A 39-year-old resident of the Solnechnogorsk district Maxim Dobry is suspected of beating the musician of the Lyube group. The Dmitrov City Court has already authorized the arrest of the suspect. Initially, a case was initiated on beating under Part 1 of Art. 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm”), however, after the death of Pavel Usanov, the case will be reclassified to a more serious one under Part 4 of Art. 111 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm, negligently resulting in the death of the victim”). This article provides for imprisonment for up to 15 years.

Meanwhile, the writer Zakhar Prilepin commented on the reason for the attack on Pavel Usanov: “Pasha was sitting in a bar, discussing exactly the very topics that we discussed with him - Donbass. It hurt with him - and, there is nothing to hide, we talked about it often. Pavel Usanov traveled to the Donbass, helped local residents, met with the militias. According to the writer, one of those present did not like the topic of the conversation, and then “they approached Pasha and hit him on the head. Behind. Face to face with him, the killer had much less chance. Pasha could take care of himself. Outcome: fracture of the base of the skull and intracerebral hematoma.

The information provided by Zakhar Prilepin was commented by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova: “Give them human rights, European values, respect. You will have neither values ​​nor respect until you stop shooting people on the Maidans, burning them in the houses of trade unions and killing people in bars on a national-ideological basis. First intensive rehabilitation from nationalism, then everything else. Otherwise - clinical death from self-poisoning.

Pavel Anatolyevich Usanov was born on August 11, 1975 in Novocherkassk. He graduated from the Kirov School of Art, the faculty of military conductors of the Moscow Conservatory and the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music. He has been a member of the Lyube group since 1996. In 2006, he created his own group "Meeting Battle", in which he performed in parallel with "Lube".

Shortly before his death, the musician sent his beloved to the television project "Voice"

A month ago, the Lyube group lost a talented bass guitarist Pavel USANOV. For two and a half weeks, the capital's doctors fought for his life after a severe head injury that the musician received in a fight, but on April 19 his heart stopped.

This tragic story was immediately overgrown with rumors. Someone said that the drunken artist himself staged a brawl in a bar not far from his home in the Moscow region. Someone believes that 40-year-old Usanov was killed for his political views, because he has repeatedly traveled to the Donbass with concerts.

His widow Yuliana told Express Gazeta about Pavel's life and death.

Everyone who lives in the neighborhood Usanov, they say in one voice: they have not met a more decent, kind and sympathetic person. Pavel, despite the fact that he had been playing in Lube for 20 years, did not even have a hint of star fever. Between tours, he managed to teach local children to play the guitar, helped orphanages, organized music festivals ...

Pasha had a dream - to make an artist out of me, - Juliana smiles through tears, - He always joked: “If you become a star, you will support the whole family!” He passed on his experience to me, and shortly before his death, he signed me up for the casting of the Voice project. Now I don’t know how I will go there, but for the sake of Pavlusha I must try. He really wanted it. We lived in love and harmony for three years. Who would have known that our happy relationship would end so ridiculously.

- Various rumors are circulating around the death of Paul ...

That is why I want to tell the truth through your newspaper. The fact that Pasha ended up at the bar that evening is an absolute coincidence. Great Lent was in full swing, and my husband, a deeply religious person, did not even leave the house without prayer, not to mention drinking at such a sacred time for the Orthodox. Everything that Pasha did that day was not characteristic of him.

In the morning we decided to go for honey, but before that we stopped by for a cup of coffee in a cafe near the house. There was a call from his mother. She had a bad dream. We reassured her, because Pashka was alive and well and just glowing with happiness.

At that moment, Alexander, our neighbor, whom we met periodically in the temple, appeared on the threshold of the institution. They were never friends with him, but the news that Sasha became a dad made Pashka wildly delighted. Previously, he would never have celebrated anything with a person he knew in passing. And then I decided. I didn't answer and left on business. And when she returned, she found her husband at Alexander's house for cognac, which, like other strong drinks, he never really complained about.

I was very tense, began to persuade him to go home. The husband promised that he would be there soon, but he never came.

At three o'clock in the morning, the guards of our village carried him to the threshold. They said he drank too much. When I undressed him, I noticed that there was not a single abrasion on the body. In the morning, calls from Lube began: Pasha was supposed to fly to St. Petersburg with a concert.

She began to wake him up, because he had never missed a single performance in his life. But he could not get up, complained of a headache and was somehow inhibited.

When neighbor Alexander called with questions: “What is wrong with Pasha? They told me he was beaten,” everything fell into place. scored Rastorguev He ordered to urgently call an ambulance. I was worried that the journalists would raise a fuss - they say, the guitarist of "Lube" got drunk to death, but Kolya said that all this was nonsense.

The doctors who arrived examined her husband, found nothing, but recommended that they go with them to Dmitrov for gastric lavage. Pasha himself got into the car, and to my questions about the fight he answered that he did not remember anything.

In the hospital, it turned out that he had a fracture of the frontal bone and numerous bruises of the brain. I started calling Rastorguev again. Kolya immediately called an ambulance to take us to Moscow. On the way, Pasha was conscious, even joking. When we were taken to Sklif, he was immediately sent to the operating room. Nine hours later, the doctor said that everything went well and that tomorrow he would be taken out of an artificial coma.

I went home, and after a while the Internet was filled with ridiculous rumors that Usanov was dying, and the doctors could not find his relatives. She immediately rushed to the hospital. There I was told that my husband's injury was incompatible with life. Like, even if a miracle happens, he will remain a “vegetable”, he will only lie. The ground was gone from under my feet ... It's good that there were people nearby who loved Pasha very much, they even began to collect money for his rehabilitation. Until recently, they believed in miracles.

fatal blow

- Did you find out why your husband was beaten?

After I went home, Pasha and a neighbor stopped by a local bar. There, the husband began to tell Alexander about his trip to the Donbass. Last year, he brought humanitarian aid there and was engaged in a competition to identify young talents "Native Spaces" in order to distract the kids from the war and arrange a holiday for them. It was a hard trip, its participants constantly came under fire.

Pasha's story was accidentally heard by two Odessans sitting at the next table. The peace-loving Pavlusha very soon turned the verbal skirmish into a joke. Even in the video that has spread around the Internet, it is noticeable that the fuss at the bar is the usual tomfoolery. Yes, one of the inhabitants of Odessa dropped Pasha on the floor, and I suspect that the husband could hit his head, but after that he got up and talked with these guys for a long time.

At some point, the husband inadvertently elbowed a completely stranger man at the bar with his elbow. It was Maxim Dobry(who is now suspected of brutally beating Pavel. - A.K.). He had nothing to do with the inhabitants of Odessa, but for some reason he reacted aggressively to my husband. Comrade Maxim tried to calm him down. On this, it seemed, the incident was over. The men hugged each other and drank beer.

Our neighbor, whose son was celebrated by Pasha, fell asleep on the table, and when the establishment began to close, Alexander, without saying a word, got up and went home. The Odessans also left. Pasha, Dobry and his friend, who had just called a taxi, stayed at the bar.

When the car arrived, Dobry refused to leave. But I know for sure that if he had attacked my husband alone, Pasha would have instantly put him on his shoulder blades.

He was definitely attacked by several people, which is confirmed by the witness, who watched everything from the window of his house. He heard screams in the street. There was a car on the road not far from the checkpoint of our village, where Pasha, Dobry and two others were noisily sorting things out. Who they are - whether Dobrogo helped or the returnees from Odessa, I don't know. One thing is clear - Pasha was beaten professionally, so that no traces were left. Experts say they hit either with a rubber-covered bat or something heavy wrapped in cloth. That is, at that moment he was already purposefully killed.

- And the guards of the village did not hear the screams?

Pasha even ran to them to ask for help. While the guards ran out, the two jumped into the car and fled. Dobryi hid from Pasha, and when he turned around and went home, he struck him in the head. Seeing the guards, Dobry tried to hide, but the guys managed to take a picture of him. This man was in prison twice - for robbery and drugs. But all of Pasha's personal belongings, except for the wedding ring, remained with him. And the ring may have been lost in the fight. After the fatal blow, the husband went limp, but for some time he was still able to walk on his own. And then he lost consciousness. Security picked him up and brought him home. They did not think that this blow would be fatal.

I worried for a long time: suddenly we missed precious time without immediately calling an ambulance. But the doctors said that the injury was so severe that it was impossible to prevent brain-destroying processes.

guitar legacy

- There were rumors that Pasha was going to leave Lube.

Pasha always said that without this group there would be no him. After all, he is a simple boy from Novocheboksarsk, who graduated with honors from Gnesinka and decided to try his luck at the casting in Lube. Naturally, he - a Russian hero with blue eyes - was immediately noticed. For 20 years, Pasha stood behind Rastorguev's left shoulder, who always felt his support. Of course, the husband was not going anywhere. He just wanted to do a solo project at the same time. We wrote songs together, which we then sang with pleasure.

Kolya is having a hard time with the departure of a friend, trying in every possible way to help me - both morally and financially. I am grateful to him for many things. Together with Rastorguev, we did everything so that the case of the murder of our Pasha was transferred to the Investigative Committee.

- In this story, many see something mystical.

Pasha had a guitar, which he inherited from previous Lube musicians - they also died tragically. He did not play it, but literally before his death, for some reason, he starred with her in a video. I try not to think about it, otherwise you can go crazy. The only thing I believe in: that evening, Pasha was left without protection, because for no reason, for no reason at all, he suddenly took off his pectoral cross, although he had never done this before. And I put on the wedding ring lost in the fight at the wedding. I know that the killer of my husband will answer to God for everything!

- Pasha from his first marriage had a son, Vasya, and a daughter, Sonya. Is there a question of division of inheritance?

Many people think that since Pasha is from Lube, it means that chickens don’t peck at his money. In fact, we lived quite modestly with him. The husband is completely unrepentant. I was very afraid to get involved in some business projects, because where big money is spinning, little is done according to the law. Although people often turned to him with all kinds of proposals, because they knew "Lube" - the president's favorite group. We started with a clean slate - everything that was acquired earlier, we decided to leave in the past. Pasha provided the children with housing, and we rented this house. He went with the simplest phone, he only needed money for strings. So we have nothing to share. Except his guitars...

However, none of this matters. Soon I'm going to Donbass with Pasha's contest "Native Spaces". My husband really wanted his business to live and develop. For me, this is the most important legacy.
