Famous Russian singer in the chanson genre, Mikhail Krug died tragically in his private house in Tver in 2002. He was killed by unknown persons who were never found. Many years later, the criminal case was suspended.
Many people still listen to his songs. Meanwhile, little is known about his personal life, how many children he had and who they became almost 15 years after his death.
Children of Mikhail 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. Before this, Mikhail worked at a factory, and wrote songs in his free time.
This is how many wonderful hits appeared, including the famous song “Vladimir Central”, which became the standard for all chanson performers.
Mikhail Krug’s son from his first marriage was born a year before their separation from Svetlana, who could not stand her husband’s constant infidelities and left. Mikhail himself, speaking about their divorce, said that the reason was Svetlana’s inability and unwillingness to create a cozy family home. 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 small daughter behind her.
The son of Mikhail Krug and Irina was born a month before his death.
The tragic fact is that Mikhail could not see how his children grew 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 this is usually very difficult. Little Dima began to live with his father’s family.
Mikhail was very busy person. Constant touring, songwriting, and performances took up all my time. Therefore, Dima’s grandmother Zoya Petrovna, Krug’s mother, was involved in raising Dima.
By the way, real name Mikhail Krug - Vorobiev. His son also bears the same surname.
Zoya Petrovna herself took Dima to kindergarten, and then to school, spent everything with him free time. Mother Svetlana took her son to her place only on weekends.
The grandmother notes that the grandson was very different in character from his father in childhood. Dima grew up quieter, calmer, loved to sit at the computer and make something.
Education received by Dmitry Krug
The son of Mikhail Krug from his first marriage was left without a father at the age of 14. It's explosive adolescence. Therefore, all relatives: grandmother, elder sister father Olga Medvedeva, mother Svetlana - decided that the child should be protected first of all. The idea was submitted by one of the late artist’s close friends, Vasily Ivanovich Kisilev, who at that time was working as the head of the traffic police of the Tver region.
He suggested transferring Dmitry from a regular school to the cadet corps. At first the boy didn’t like it there, but over time he got used to it. Formations, roll calls, uniforms - 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 spent a long time trying to persuade him to change his mind and enroll in Tver, after all, home was closer, but Dmitry insisted on his own and graduated from the university with honors, receiving the rank of lieutenant.
Career success
Every now and then information appears in the newspapers about the awarding of one title or another to Dmitry Vorobyov. On this moment he rose to the rank of captain. Dima devoted more than 10 years to serving in the police, and his superiors praise him very much.
It’s interesting that the artist himself always spoke very negatively about the employees law enforcement, devoting all his songs to prisoners, crime bosses and thieves in law.
Dmitry notes that he is very pleased with his service in the police, he likes working there.
Appearance and character of Dmitry
The first son of Mikhail Krug is very similar to him. Here the figure, appearance, and voice - everything resembles your favorite artist. But despite the obvious similarities, Dmitry cannot sing at all and has never studied music.
He doesn't like giving interviews or being photographed. Moreover, Dmitry Krug, the son of Mikhail Krug, is known as a closed and closed person.
His aunt explains that he has always been like this. Meanwhile, the eldest son of Mikhail Krug, although taciturn, is kind and sympathetic, he loves good companies and is great at telling jokes and loves to joke. In this way 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, and playing sports.
In his house, an entire room is dedicated to his father, the famous chansonnier and songwriter Mikhail Krug. There are a lot of memorabilia there, all the walls are covered with photographs. This is a kind of home museum.
Alexander Mikhailovich Krug
According to her grandmother, Krug’s mother, Sasha sings well and writes poetry. It is not for nothing that his mother predicts fame 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 lady. She lives on memories, and her voice youngest grandson reminds her of the voice of her beloved son Misha.
When Irina Krug, after the death of Mikhail, decided to get married 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 was going through. After all, on the night of Krug’s murder, Irina and three children were in the same house, but on different floors. And they only miraculously survived the shootout.
WITH new husband Irina met businessman Sergei 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, and have many common hobbies. The boy even began calling Irina’s new husband dad. But, of course, he does not forget his origins, 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 visit them in Moscow; they have common interests, such as ship modeling.
On January 9, at the age of 82, the mother of the world-famous chansonnier Mikhail Krug, Zoya Petrovna Vorobyova, passed away. This was reported by the singer’s Creative Heritage Foundation.
Zoya was born in Tver, in maternity hospital No. 2, where years later her children would also be born: Mikhail and Olga. They lived first in the legendary Morozov town, in barracks No. 156, and then, when Zoya Petrovna married Vladimir Vorobyov in 1957, the young family moved to barracks No. 48, which in the future would become famous as the Krug barracks and about which the chanson star would later write songs.
“There was no special courtship, just dad came up to mom and said: “Let’s get married.” After the wedding, my mother moved to barracks No. 48. The room was divided in half with a wardrobe: my grandmother and her daughter lived in one half - my aunt, in the other - new family Vladimir and Zoya Vorobyov. Father worked as an engineer in scientific institute at a carriage factory, his mother was a standard-setter at a cotton mill, - recalls Olga Medvedeva (Krug’s sister).
In 1963, the Vorobyov family was given a two-room apartment, and they moved out of the barracks. But the memory of friendly and kind neighbors, of life in the Proletarka Courtyard remained forever.
- Misha asked me more than once: “Mom, would you like to go back and live as before?” I really wanted it: you won’t find the kind of friendship, trust, mutual assistance that existed between the residents of the town now. We lived in the barracks like one family, no one even locked the doors, Zoya Petrovna recalled in her interview with TIA, which we recorded last year for the project. An elderly woman captivatingly told us about how the residents of the barracks survived the occupation of Kalinin, how and what their life and relationships with their neighbors consisted of.
Relatives and friends of Mikhail Krug always said that Misha loved his mother very much and dedicated several songs to her: “Hello, Mom,” “Letter to Mom,” “Let me go, Mom,” “Forgive me, I’m not a good son,” etc.
Zoya Petrovna Vorobyova will be buried in the cemetery in Dmitrovo-Cherkassy, where the grave of her famous son is located. The editorial board of TIA expresses its condolences to family and friends.
The famous chansonnier Mikhail Krug would have celebrated his 55th birthday on April 7, 2017. He would have written many more songs, released more than one album, and given joy to fans and those whom he loved infinitely. But fate decreed otherwise.
"Parisian" childhood
Ekaterina Evseeva, “AiF in Tver”: Zoya Petrovna, how did Mikhail Krug grow up?
Zoya Vorobyova: We were a simple family. My husband worked as an engineer at a carriage factory, I worked at a cotton mill. They lived in the Morozov barracks. Then it was a mini-city with its own hospital, nursery, maternity hospital, and theater. In the houses on each floor there was a cube of boiling water, where they took hot water. Heated with peat briquettes. Yes, they lived modestly, closely, but amicably. I remember that time with nostalgia. I myself grew up in the town, my children Olya and Misha were born here. Then my husband was given an apartment on Ordzhonikidze Street. However, we still often came to the barracks, where Misha’s grandmother remained. Later, the son would sing to the whole country about the Proletarka Courtyard, the barracks, “Paris,” as one of them was called then.
-What was your son like?
Even as a child, I told him: “Mishka, you will probably be extraordinary with us.” He was so different from the rest of the family! We are all serious, but he constantly joked and was the life of any company. But, I admit, we had a lot of trouble with him. The boy grew up a tomboy. He needs an eye and an eye, and my father and I are at work all day long. At a parent meeting at school they announced: one student had three comments, another had seven, and mine had 47!
As an adult, his son also fought for the truth. When he worked as a driver, there was such a case. Misha was picking up products from the dairy and saw that identical cans were placed on different sides. I asked what was the matter. It turned out that some of the cans contained high-fat milk for party officials. In others - diluted, for ordinary residents of Tver. Oh, how this made him angry! In general, he swapped the cans. When the deception was revealed, Misha was asked to resign. But together with their son, as a sign of solidarity, five more people wrote letters of resignation. I had to leave everyone behind.
Some cans contain high-fat milk for party officials, while others contain diluted milk for ordinary Tver residents. Oh, how this made him angry! In general, he swapped the cans.
And how he loved practical jokes! One day he comes home, hands on hips and says defiantly: “I’m not alone! With the woman!” Everyone was dumbfounded; our father was ill at that time. And Mishka pulls out from behind his back a rag doll that they put on a teapot: “Here is a woman!” The son kept his personal experiences to himself. His first love was Marina. He spent all the crumbs that he had then on her. But the girl did not wait for him to leave the army. Misha was very worried, but did not accept consolation. He answered that the man would figure it out himself. I didn't get married for a long time. I kept asking what was the matter, and Misha affectionately answered: “Mom, I want someone like you.” He was loving son, cared, gave gifts. When he had money, he built me a house, brought me clothes from abroad, original vases. But most of all I remember his bouquet of thirty roses. I have never been given so many flowers.
City of love and death
- Many people leave Tver for big cities, but Mikhail always sang the praises of his hometown. Where does this love come from?
Our whole family is from Tver; for us it is truly our homeland. When Misha became famous, the locals crime bosses offered him patronage. The son waved it off and was indignant: they say, why does he need this in hometown? Tver is his “roof”! They called him to Moscow, to St. Petersburg, they offered him housing and contracts, but he had no intention of moving. Loved our city very much. When he was sad or excited, he got behind the wheel and drove around the streets, enjoying the scenery. This calmed him down. Ironically, Misha was killed precisely on the Day of the City of Tver, which he glorified.
Fatal day
- The terrible crime has not yet been solved. How's it going?
There were rumors that Krug was in prison, hence his criminal songs. However, it is not. The singer grew up on Vysotsky’s work, and learned the jargon from a rare 1924 publication for NKVD workers.
Several years ago, the newspapers wrote that members of the Tver Wolves criminal gang had been detained, allegedly one of them was related to Misha’s murder. Whether this is actually true, we don’t know. The investigation is still ongoing. There are different versions: from robbery to contract crime. Misha was shot in own home, when he returned after performing at a festive city concert. He was only 40 years old.
That fateful day remains a terrible mystery to us. On the morning of July 1, 2002, I was washing the dishes when I was told that Misha had died. I couldn't believe it! It seemed that if I touched my son and slapped him on the cheeks, he would come to his senses. Alas... I lived on injections for a long time; my hearing was impaired due to my worries. Do you know what's scary? Misha had a presentiment of his death. A couple of months before his death, his son Sasha was born to his wife Irina. Mikhail kept rocking him and anxiously repeating: “If only the Lord would let me raise him.” IN Lately he often took me by the hands and asked: “Mom, just live long. OK?".
The whole city buried Misha; half the streets in the center were then blocked. Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Alexander Semchev, and many others came to say goodbye famous people and hundreds of ordinary Tver residents.
- Do your son’s fans support you today?
They often call me and send me flowers and gifts. strangers. IN Mailbox More than once they left notes with words of gratitude. My daughter Olga conducts excursions in Tver called “Come to my house.” Tourists come from different regions. We show them the city, places associated with Mikhail: the Morozov barracks, where he was born, the city garden, Kaposvár and Gagarin squares, which are mentioned in his song, the Circle Museum in the building of the Lazurny restaurant. Those wishing to sign up for an excursion, as a rule, contact my daughter Olga Medvedeva through social network"In contact with". Misha was a hospitable person, and we try to keep the doors of our house always open.
"I see from above"
- You have two grandchildren from Mikhail. What was their fate?
The eldest, Dmitry, born from Mikhail’s first marriage, is already 28 years old. He lives with me in his father's house. Dima works in the police, very serious man. Doesn't play guitar or sing. He achieves everything himself: as a child, Misha gave him an order not to hide behind his name. Irina, Mikhail’s second wife, lives in the Moscow region with her son Sasha, her other children and her new husband. She tours a lot, Sasha studies in the eighth grade at Preobrazhensky cadet corps. We keep in touch and communicate. I used to be very upset that youngest son Misha didn’t even really see it. And then I had a dream where Mikhail smiles and says: “Mom, I see everything from above!”
On January 9, at the age of 82, the mother of the world-famous chansonnier Mikhail Krug, Zoya Petrovna Vorobyova, passed away. This was reported by the singer’s Creative Heritage Foundation.
Zoya was born in Tver, in maternity hospital No. 2, where years later her children would also be born: Mikhail and Olga. They lived first in the legendary Morozov town, in barracks No. 156, and then, when Zoya Petrovna married Vladimir Vorobyov in 1957, the young family moved to barracks No. 48, which in the future would become famous as the Krug barracks and about which the chanson star would later write songs.

More than 15 years ago, Mikhail Krug passed away. His mother Zoya Petrovna was grieving the loss loved one and after so much time she set off to follow her beloved son... On January 9, 2018, this wonderful woman passed away.
Zoya Petrovna Vorobyova suffered a heart attack a few days ago. The pensioner's heart stopped several times. The third time it was not possible to start it. The woman was buried in Tver at the Dmitrovo-Cherkassky cemetery next to her son.
Mikhail Krug loved his mother very much and dedicated many songs to her. “Hello, Mom!”, “Letter to Mom,” “Let me go, Mom” - these compositions became real hits. The singer was very close to his mother. After the death of her son, Zoya Petrovna often listened to his songs and her favorite was “Mom, Mom, Mom.”
Vorobyova was truly proud of her son and eagerly talked about him. One day she shared memories of Krug’s childhood. “The son was born very large - he weighed four eight hundred. My husband and I immediately thought that the baby looked like a bear cub and named him Misha. It turned out to be fun - Mishka Vorobyov. He grew up brave, mastered the world bravely - at the age of three he rode a two-wheeled bicycle! He became a leader already in kindergarten, and at school he was even considered a leader. I always had to blush at parent meetings when the class teacher scolded him. Some people have eight comments in their diary, others have 15, and mine has 47! But Mishka himself didn’t care much…”, the singer’s mother shared with the publication "Express newspaper".
In the same interview, she told how recently Mikhail, during his lifetime, often approached her, reverently took her hands and asked only one thing: “Mom, just live long. OK? Despite everything. OK?..". It is unlikely that both of them assumed that the mother would outlive her son by as much as 15 years.
