Zhanna Friske's loved ones spoke about what happened to her in the last moments before her death. According to the artist’s father, she said goodbye to him two months before her tragic death.

The death and funeral of Zhanna Friske shocked many who knew the singer and her work. Zhanna Friske's loved ones spoke about the last days before the singer's death and departure.

“On the day she died, doctors from China arrived,” said Vladimir Friske. “They traveled for a very long time, because first they were saving someone. I met them at 03:30.

They came, looked, and said that a month ago we could have done something, but today we refuse to do it. And on that day she died."

"Five days later I realized that she was going to die. She had already begun to experience irreversible changes. She had already begun to suffer, felt pain. And before that, according to the doctors, she did not feel it - she was just sleeping. And then she developed a fever, which we started trying to shoot it down, but nothing worked.

They thought there was some kind of infection: before that, the son got sick - he had a temperature of over 40. They decided that it had passed from him to her. We took tests and it turned out there was no infection. They wiped it with vodka - for 15-20 minutes the temperature dropped to 38 degrees, and then again 40.

Doctors said that the tumor affected the part of the brain responsible for temperature. They called it malignant hyperthermia. And in the last days the agony began,” said the singer’s father, Vladimir Friske.

“I asked Olya and Ksyusha not to go home. At 10:07 Ksyusha wrote down all the indicators. I turned away and then she said: “That’s it, she’s not breathing anymore.” She left quietly, calmly.

It seemed to me that my heart was still beating. And the doctor says: “Listen for yourself.” I listened and that’s what happened,” Komsomolskaya Pravda quotes Vladimir Friske.

>Olga Orlova believes that Zhanna decided to ask to stop all the manipulations and let her leave calmly: “The three of us stayed in the room - the sister from the cancer center, Zhanna’s friend, Ksyusha and me. It was as if she kicked out her parents at that moment - Aunt Olya and Uncle Vova came out.

And we sat down next to her, dried her, persuaded her: “Come on, baby, fight.” And I have never seen such a thing that the temperature increased by one degree every second. And she breathed like that...

I told the girls: “I think she wants us all to leave her alone and let her go.”

Because we did a lot emergency measures- they poured an ice solution inside, something else... And exactly after this phrase, she took two more breaths and that was it. It seemed to me that she was still breathing. Uncle Vova came in, and I told him: “That’s it,” the artist’s friend shared.

Vladimir Borisovich recalled the moment when his daughter said goodbye to him: “Two months before that, she no longer spoke, except very quietly. It was a very nice day, I went up to her and sat down.

She took my hand and said: “Daddy, I love you very much.” She didn't say anything else to anyone. Apparently, she said goodbye,” concluded Friske’s father.

Zhanna Friske, who died of cancer at the age of 41, was buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye cemetery in the Moscow region.

The burial site was fenced off; only the singer’s relatives and friends were allowed there.

The artist’s common-law husband, TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev, flew to the funeral from Bulgaria, where he was on vacation with his son Platon.

Zhanna Friske is one of the most bright stars domestic show business. For my short life she had a fast career.

The meeting of the parents of the future star took place in 1973. The artist and employee of the capital's House of Arts Vladimir Friske saw the Ural beauty Olga Kopylova on one of the Moscow streets. The smiling girl made the Muscovite fall in love with her at first sight.

The couple decided not to delay the wedding. Less than six months later, marriage stamps appeared in their passports. Vladimir took his wife’s surname and became Kopylov. In the mid-1990s, when Zhanna began to make a career in show business, she took the surname of her grandmother, Volga German Paulina Wilhelmovna Friske, as her stage name.


Baby photos

In July 1974, twins appeared in the Kopylov family - a boy and a girl. The twins were born prematurely, in the seventh month of pregnancy. Unfortunately, my son was diagnosed with a congenital pathology. The boy died soon after. But the girl, who received the name Zhanna, managed to dispel the grief of her parents. The baby was like a ray of light. At baptism she received the name Anna.

Zhanna Kopylova, it seems, was born an artist. The little girl had good hearing and a beautiful voice. She was invited to participate in school amateur performances. And the girl knew how to dance, so from childhood she attended a sports dance school and a ballet studio. She also managed to do rhythmic gymnastics and acrobatics.

When Zhanna was 12 years old, she had a sister, Natalya. When the little sister grew up, the girls became real friends. Parents raised their daughters in strictness.

After graduating from school 406 in the capital's Perovo district, Zhanna Kopylova became a student at Moscow Humanitarian University. She chose the Faculty of Journalism. But already in her third year she realized that she was not interested here. Therefore, without regret, I left the university and went to look for my place in the sun.

In search of income, Zhanna got a job as a sales manager for office furniture in one of the capital's companies. Later she began teaching choreography at the Sports Palace.

Group "Brilliant"

According to one version, Zhanna came to the “Brilliant” group thanks to her acquaintance in 1995. According to another version, Kopylova was invited by producer Andrei Gromov in 1996. He knew that the girl was a professional choreographer, and the group at that time needed a consultant.

After several rehearsals, the producer realized that Zhanna “fits in” perfectly with the “brilliant” team. Bright appearance, ability to move, pleasant voice - she had everything necessary for a singer’s career. The girl took the stage name Zhanna Friske and in May 1997 became the fourth participant in the pop project “Brilliant”. At that time, Olga Orlova, Polina Iodis and Koroleva were already working in the girl band. Soon one of the sparkles, Varvara, left the group. Irina Lukyanova took her place.

It cannot be said that Zhanna Friske’s father was happy with his daughter’s decision to become a singer and lead a touring life. But seeing the success of the fiery quartet and the rapidly growing popularity of the girls, he realized that eldest daughter found my way.

Movies

In addition to her solo career, the artist tried herself as an actress and TV presenter. In 2004, viewers saw the blockbuster “Night Watch”. Zhanna Friske got the image of the charming and freedom-loving singer Alisa Donnikova. In this image, many fans recognized the star himself.

4 years later, in 2010, the actress appeared on the screen again. This time in Klim Shipenko’s psychological drama “Who Am I?” Unfortunately, the film was not as successful as previous blockbusters. But a comedy in the road movie genre by Dmitry Dyachenko called “What Men Talk About” collected almost $12 million at the domestic box office.

The film was liked by both viewers and film critics, who generously showered the comedy with laudatory reviews. Zhanna Friske appeared in this project as herself. Her cameo came with a fair amount of self-irony. And the nice male company of “Quartet I” in particular only emphasized the feminine charm of the actress.

Three more films in which Zhanna Friske appeared in a cameo role are “First Ambulance”, “Beauty Demands” and “New Year’s Matchmakers”. In 2013, the actress’s latest film project, entitled. "Odnoklassniki.ru: CLICK your luck." Her filmography includes more than a dozen works.

Friske turned out to be one of the few stars who managed to overcome the stereotypes that accompany most of her colleagues.

She was a self-sufficient TV star who managed to realize herself equally well in all guises.

It is noteworthy that Zhanna Friske was not afraid to destroy the stereotypes associated with her person. For example, in “The Last Hero” she did what many of her colleagues are so afraid of: the star allowed herself to be filmed without makeup, from the most unfavorable angles. And in the comedy “What Men Talk About,” she laughed with ease and subtle self-irony at the established reputation of a sex symbol and fatal beauty. As critic Boris Barabanov later admitted, Friske demonstrated “exactly that degree of intelligence and self-irony that men are so afraid of in women.”

Personal life

Zhanna Friske was the object of desire of thousands of men. The army of fans of the sexy beauty grew rapidly. There were a lot of rumors and gossip about the star’s personal life. She was credited with having affairs with the leader of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” Sergei Amoralov, and with the lead singer of the “Hi-Fi” group. They gossiped about the singer’s connection with the main macho Russian show business. But there was no evidence or confirmation of these “novels”.


With Ilya Mitelman

And yet, the ubiquitous paparazzi unearthed some information about the personal life of Zhanna Friske. At the dawn of her career, the aspiring singer met with the famous Moscow businessman Ilya Mitelman. He sponsored several of her projects. There were rumors about the imminent wedding of this couple. But for some unknown reason, it never came to a wedding dress. Perhaps this “novel” existed only in the rich imagination of the journalistic fraternity. After all, Zhanna Friske herself never confirmed it.


With Alexander Ovechkin

In 2006, the VIP party started talking about the singer’s affair with a hockey player. And again a “false start”: the athlete became interested in another “ex-brilliant” - Ksenia Novikova. Is it true, joint photos Friske and Ovechkina still appeared in the tabloids.

In August 2011, in funds mass media wrote about the star's new hobby. This time her chosen one turned out to be a TV presenter. But the couple denied the connection. In the end, most of the star’s fans agreed that the romance between Friske and Shepelev was some kind of marketing ploy to attract attention to two media personalities.

But in the winter of 2012, the ubiquitous paparazzi took pictures of Zhanna and Dmitry’s joint vacation in Miami. The unsuspecting couple did not at all resemble two colleagues who were connected exclusively by a working relationship. Soon a piquant story surfaced about a SPA salon, which was ordered by lovers for the May Day holidays “for two.”

The doubts were finally dispelled when an intriguing entry appeared on Zhanna Friske’s Twitter account: “Darling, our love story... will run around in diapers.” To which Dmitry Shepelev replied: “I want our love story to run faster.”


This is how fans of the 38-year-old artist learned about Zhanna’s pregnancy and who the baby’s father is.

The first-born, named Plato, was born in April 2013 in Miami. The couple spent the first few months in America. The lovers planned to hold the wedding ceremony after returning to Moscow.

Zhanna's father Vladimir Kopylov admitted that his daughter has glioblastoma, cancer. The diagnosis was confirmed by the country's chief oncologist Mikhail Davydov.


Singer's illness

In January 2014, a woman was treated in a New York clinic. There were various rumors about the cause of Zhanna Friske’s illness. Some “experts” argued that the impetus for the development of the disease could be the IVF procedure, which the woman allegedly resorted to in order to become a mother. But this hypothesis has no confirmation.

The whole country collected money for the treatment of their beloved star. After the official announcement of Friske’s illness, Channel One began fundraising. In total, more than 66 million rubles were accumulated. A little later, another million was transferred to Rusfond’s accounts. On the foundation’s website, Zhanna warmly thanked everyone who donated money.

They said that he left and took his son to a resort in Bulgaria when Zhanna was dying.

The psychologist asked me to pull myself together. We talked for about half an hour. They gave Platosha toys. I hope that we will continue to see each other."

The charity appealed the refusal to initiate criminal proceedings. This situation arose due to the fact that a report on more than 20 million rubles collected for the treatment of Zhanna Friske has not yet been provided.

Vladimir Borisovich hopes that through the court he will be able to achieve the right to see his grandson. The conflict between the family of Zhanna Friske and her common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev has been going on for almost a year. The parties cannot reach a solution to the problem peacefully. A court hearing is scheduled to take place in early June, which will determine the order of meetings between the singer’s son and her parents.

The TV presenter admitted that he constantly thinks about Zhanna Friske. Little Plato knows that his mother is always there. Dmitry Shepelev raises his son moderately strictly, dresses him to his liking and develops his intellect. “An interesting coincidence: recently my son and I had dinner at a cafe where Zhanna and I had often visited before. And for dessert, from a variety of options, he chose carrot cake. Delicious, I ask. - Very! - Do you really like? - Yes! So, without knowing it himself, he chose Jeanne’s favorite dessert in this cafe. Of course, I told him about it,” Dmitry shared.

The family of the late singer is outraged by the incorrect information in the press. The star’s parents were not invited to the police to clarify the circumstances in the case of the missing millions of Rusfond. “This is not true, the singer’s family was not at any interrogation. We continue to work with Dmitry Shepelev’s lawyers,” the lawyer said.

During the broadcast of the NTV channel “Zvonok”, Vovan and Lexus tried to bring Dmitry Shepelev and Vladimir Borisovich to the negotiating table. Despite many disagreements, both sides expressed their readiness to meet each other halfway in the interests of little Plato.

The singer's father does not want personal information to be broadcast. Vladimir Borisovich sent a letter to the head of the TV channel. He believes that his rights were violated. He is outraged that the presenters found out family secrets fraudulently.

The singer’s family, as well as her common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev, as the official guardian of Plato’s son, entered into inheritance rights. However, how much money Zhanna Friske’s relatives will share is still unknown.

Olga Vladimirovna remained silent for a long time. The scandal that erupted over the money collected for Zhanna Friske’s treatment affected her mother’s state of mind. It is difficult for a woman to endure attacks on her family.

The parties are preparing for the trial. The family of the late singer Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev will try to come to general opinion in an acute conflict that has been going on for several months.

Alexander Dobrovinsky reported that in soon the whole truth will be revealed. For a long time in the case of missing money that the whole country collected for treatment seriously ill singer, there was no progress. Apparently, the situation has changed, and the investigation was able to find out who is actually guilty of the disappearance of a large sum.

A friend of the singer who tragically passed away spoke for the first time about what she thinks about the tense relationship between her family. Olga Orlova would like to reconcile the family of Zhanna and the artist’s common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev.

The singer's sister told why this happened. Natalya Friske congratulated the baby on her Instagram page and admitted that she loves him more than life itself. “Dima took Platosha away,” Zhanna’s sister, Natalya Friske, shared with StarHit. – It seems to be to Belarus. Therefore, it was not possible to congratulate him. We hope that as soon as he returns, he will allow us to meet our beloved boy."

Zhanna Friske's son Platon turned three years old. Natalya wrote warm words about her beloved nephew on her Instagram page. The singer’s sister admitted that she loves the baby more than life itself.

Zhanna Friske's father commented on rumors that the TV presenter does not give him the opportunity to congratulate his grandson. This week little Plato will celebrate his third birthday, and the singer’s family would like to be with him on this day.

Andrei Grozny openly spoke about his affair with the star. He announced that he proposed marriage to Zhanna Friske, but she refused him. ABOUT incurable disease The producer was one of the last to recognize the singer.

32-year-old lawyer Radik Gushchin asked for forgiveness from the singer’s family. The man admitted that he did not want to hurt Zhanna Friske’s family and friends, and therefore considers it his duty to tell how everything really happened. “I never knew Zhanna,” admitted Gushchin.

“StarHit” arranged a meeting between Natalia Friske and a psychic. Mohsen Norouzi predicted that the singer’s relatives would soon see Plato, but the boy would live with his dad, and a girl would be born into their family - a copy of Jeanne.

Olga Orlova's video "Farewell, my friend" caused powerful emotions from the singer's fans. The heartfelt lines of the song accompanied by the video sequence with the participation of the departed Zhanna Friske did not leave anyone indifferent.

The first court hearing took place in Moscow, during which Zhanna Friske’s family is trying to reach an agreement with Dmitry Shepelev about communicating with Plato. Only representatives of both sides and a man who calls himself the possible father of the singer’s son are present at the trial. StarHit published the first photos from the courtroom.

Olga Orlova spoke about how Zhanna Friske’s little son Platon is growing up on the air of the “Tonight” program with Andrei Malakhov. “Plato is a wonderful, active, cheerful, smart kid,” the singer shared. - He’s already talking with all his might. I love my godson very much, I see him as often as possible. I will try to be a good godmother for him.”

The singer noted that it was her duty to tell the world about her beloved friend. Olga Orlova and Zhanna Friske were inseparable for many years. A loved one of the untimely deceased star considered it necessary to record a song for her that would find a response in the hearts of millions of people.

The investigation is finding out where the debt to Rusfond went. The star's relatives only partially reported on the amount of money missing from Zhanna Friske's account. “The answer came that the singer’s father, Vladimir Borisovich, did not make any transfers or withdrawals from Zhanna Friske’s account, where Rusfond sent donations,” explained a source from the Investigative Committee.

Vladimir Friske is outraged that their family was accused of theft. Relatives of Zhanna Friske said that they are ready to account for every ruble spent, and they have saved all payment documents.

Having never received a report on the money that disappeared from Zhanna’s account from either the Friske family or Dmitry Shepelev, the charitable organization Rusfond contacted investigative committee of the Russian Federation with a request to initiate a criminal case regarding the theft of funds. “We only had a card with money from RusFond for a month and a half, and we will account for all expenses incurred during this time,” Vladimir Friske told StarHit. “We didn’t take anything extra.”

Today, the first meeting took place in the Khamovnichesky Court of Moscow, at which the procedure for communication between Zhanna Friske’s parents and their grandson was discussed. The whole country followed the development of this story and, perhaps, every second person discussed the details of the family drama.

Initially, nurse Christina Rose, who became a writer, planned to release a book about the life of Zhanna Friske called “Cardiogram of Life” in the fall, as StarHit already wrote. However, some difficulties arose: at the printing house the writer was asked to correct the manuscript. As a result, the first biography of Zhanna Friske was published only in December.

The conflict between Jeanne's dad and her common-law husband has been going on for six months, since the singer's death. They cannot share custody of the artist’s two-year-old son Plato. But it seems that both are already tired of the fight. Vladimir Borisovich admitted to StarHit that for the sake of his grandson he wants to make peace with Dmitry.

On the eve of the holiday, Natalya Friske shared her memories of what the last New Year celebration was like with her sister. A relative of Zhanna Friske told what the artist dreamed of and what wish she made during the chimes.

Before Zhanna Friske’s relatives had time to move away from the scandal with Dmitry Shepelev, a new one broke out. This time, a certain Radik Gushchin stated that he real father two-year-old Plato. According to 32-year-old lawyer Gushchin, three years ago he had an affair with Zhanna, albeit a short one - from June to August 2012. And then the singer told him that she was expecting a child. However, StarHit managed to find out that the Friske family does not even know Radik.

The charity organization that collected money for the treatment of Zhanna Friske has been waiting for several months for a report from the singer’s relatives. As written on the official website, on December 14, Rusfond handed over to the notary who is handling the star’s case a statement of claims to the inherited property.

Zhanna Friske passed away in June of this year. The artist died in Moscow after a long battle with brain cancer. “Yesterday in the Yelokhovsky Cathedral a memorial service was held for the deceased servant of God Zhanna (baptized Anna). Hundreds of people came to honor the memory of the singer. They all lit candles at the icon of the Kazan Mother of God and wrote notes,” the temple minister, Father Alexander, told StarHit.

Six months ago, after a long battle with brain cancer, the singer left, but her work continues to live on. In addition, numerous fans of the artist re-read the interview with Zhanna and discover new facets of her personality and soul, which has always been open and kind.

Attempts to share custody only son The artists finally quarreled between Zhanna’s relatives and her common-law husband and father of two-year-old Platon, Dmitry Shepelev. The inheritance also became a stumbling block, because before her death the star never wrote a will.


Today, the family counted down exactly six months from the day their Zhanna passed away. All these months, literally every day, fans did not stop remembering their idol with warm words. Some dedicated poems to the deceased star, others created collages from photographs of Friske and her son Plato, so that at least in the photographs the two-year-old child could be close to his mother. StarHit has collected some of the most touching family photos.

Artist Nikasa Safronov will put the painting up for auction, and the funds raised will be transferred to 11-year-old Natasha Dolmatova from Perm. She suffers from brain cancer, an ailment that the singer struggled with.


The family of the untimely deceased singer appeared in the studio of the “Let Them Talk” program to tell the truth about the real relationship between Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev. The artist's relatives are still trying to get the right to see little Plato, but they are unable to come to an agreement with the child's father.

After her death, the father of Zhanna Friske’s child did not have a good relationship with her family. Now, according to Dmitry, the situation is out of control. In this regard, Shepelev is forced to address the public for the first time to tell his version of what is happening between him and Zhanna’s father. The TV presenter published a video message in which he admits that a recent meeting with Vladimir Borisovich turned out to be a lot of stress for him and little Plato.

Almost six months after the death of Zhanna Friske best friend star Olga Orlova spoke about how she felt. The ex-soloist of the group “Brilliant” admitted that she still cannot believe what happened and that most of all she is worried about the fate of the son of her untimely deceased friend. Orlova noted that little Plato became a special godson for her, and she feels incredible responsibility for him. Olga also added that no one can replace a child’s mother, but the singer herself will do everything possible to make Plato always feel like a happy child and understand that he is loved.

Until now, family and friends cannot come to terms with the irreparable loss. Natalya Friske admitted on social networks that she sees her beloved sister in her dreams every day. The girl also admits that she misses Zhanna very much and cannot remain silent about it.

Zhanna Friske's family plans to erect a monument at the singer's grave. Relatives of the tragically deceased star are in search of a suitable sketch. On social networks they turned to Friske’s fans with a request to voice their ideas. So far, the artist’s family has settled on the option of a full-length monument, where Zhanna would be in a white dress.

Natasha Dolmatova was among the children to whom Rusfond allocated part of the funds collected for the treatment of Zhanna Friske. An 11-year-old girl took a course in Germany and felt better. A month ago she was examined, and doctors discovered that she had metastases. At the moment, the girl needs help from qualified specialists. There is a chance for recovery, but only if it becomes possible to eliminate the metastasis. To do this, Natasha Dolmatova’s family needs to raise 200 thousand euros. The girl's mother appealed to the public asking for help.

Zhanna Friske's close friend Olga Orlova, after the tragedy she experienced, is gradually returning to ordinary life. The singer recorded a song called “Bird” and shot a video for it. The lyrical composition attracted the attention of not only Orlova’s fans, but also Friske, because many felt that the song was dedicated to her. However, Olga Orlova herself clarified that this is not entirely true, and she will dedicate another single to Zhanna, which she will present a little later.

A strange man regularly approaches members of Zhanna Friske’s family with a proposal to freeze the star’s body and rebury it. Jeanne's frightened relatives claim that a man unknown to them appears in their field of vision every time they come to her grave. According to Natalya Friske, the stranger gave her a letter in which he voiced his proposals and threatened with dire consequences if they did not follow his recommendations.

The conflict that has arisen between the family of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev is gaining momentum. This time, the father of the singer’s child contacted the police with a statement that he was receiving threats from Vladimir Borisovich Friske. The TV presenter also provided an audio recording in which the singer’s father’s claims and threats were voiced. Later this ambiguous situation The artist’s sister also commented. Natalya Friske stated that Dmitry Shepelev deliberately brought her father to such a state so that he could write down threats against himself, and later use this in court.

An unexpected scandal turned out to be the communication between sister Zhanna Friske and fans on Instagram. Hundreds of people turn to Natalya every day with words of support. Sometimes the singer’s fans ask her family questions that only they could give truthful answers to. This happened this time too, when Natalia Friske’s subscribers asked her on the microblog whether she was seeing little Plato. The star's sister immediately gave a negative answer, explaining that her nephew's father was against her communicating with the boy. The girl also added that her family failed to establish relations with Dmitry Shepelev.

Already this winter, Zhanna Friske’s parents plan to install a marble monument on her grave, which so far only has a wooden cross. The artist’s sister addressed the star’s fans on a social network and invited them to participate in creating a sketch of the monument. Many who knew and loved Jeanne responded to this request with great attention and willingly shared their thoughts. Some suggested using the image of the dogs that Friske loved so much in the monument, while others decided that angel wings would look much more appropriate. The artist’s family has not yet made a choice and continues to study proposals from interested people.

A fan of the star, Christina Rose, has been following the life and work of her beloved singer for many years, and when the whole country was shocked by the news of the death of Zhanna Friske, she was especially inspired by her story. The girl decided to write a book about her idol, which she called “Cardiogram of Life.” The creation of the artist’s fans was appreciated by Friske’s loved ones. The singer’s father admitted that when he read the book dedicated to the memory of his daughter, he cried all night. Already this fall, fans of Zhanna Friske will be able to purchase a book about her in Once again recall brightest moments her biography.

Almost three months after the tragedy, there were people who wanted to make money from the grief of the Friske family. Messages about the sudden illness of Zhanna Friske’s sister Natalya began to appear on the Internet every now and then. The attackers announced a fundraiser for the girl’s treatment and, without a twinge of conscience, published emotional messages on behalf of Natalya herself. Quite soon, the artist’s sister clarified the situation and warned everyone concerned that they should not believe such reports. Natasha Friske appealed to the administration of the social network VKontakte with a request to block the pages of the “clones”.

Zhanna Friske's sister Natalya published on her VKontakte page photo collages of her nephew, the son of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev, Platon. They show the boy with his mother visiting the petting zoo and with his beloved aunt and uncle. Zhanna looks at her beloved child with eyes full of happiness and love.

On July 8, 2015, Zhanna Friske would have turned 41 years old. Friends and relatives of the untimely departed singer have been publishing her photos on their microblogs since the very morning, sharing memories of her and leaving good words addressed to her. Early in the morning, the artist’s mother Olga Vladimirovna, sister Natalya, friend Olga Orlova and common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev visited her grave.

Close attention of the media is now focused on the son of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev. The fact that after the death of his mother the boy was in Bulgaria became clear soon after the death of Zhanna. Plato is surrounded by care - his star father is now with him, who devotes one hundred percent of his time to the boy. The family is resting in the apartment of Philip Kirkorov, who kindly provided his accommodation to the young father and a two year old child.

Zhanna Friske's family just has to pay for her treatment in the USA. The account for 106 thousand dollars has not yet been closed, and the clinic in Miami, where Zhanna took the course, persistently sends financial documents to the address of the Friske family. Zhanna’s father, Vladimir Borisovich, spoke on REN-TV about why this is happening.

Less than a month has passed since the death of Zhanna Friske, and the Internet is already flaring up. new scandal, associated with the personality of the star. A series of programs dedicated to discussing the circumstances of her death gave rise to a whole wave of discussions, disputes and very unexpected conclusions. Outrage was caused by the harsh position of Zhanna’s father, expressed in the “Live” program. Later, the conflict developed with the participation of Joseph Kobzon and representatives of the popular public page VKontakte.

StarHit learned that Plato now lives in the apartments of Philip Kirkorov in Bulgaria. “Philip had long suggested that Zhanna take the child there to rest. Thank him very much for this! – the singer’s father Vladimir Borisovich shared with StarHit. “Now Platon lives in Kirkorov’s apartment, he is very comfortable there...” Next to the baby is now a nanny and grandmother - Dmitry’s mother Natalya Alexandrovna. “I also lived with him in Bulgaria, but now I’m back in Minsk, working,” Shepelev’s dad Andrey Viktorovich tells StarHit. - The plateau is growing. We have not yet told him that his mother has passed away. And he himself is still small, he doesn’t ask. He likes the sea, he loves to swim and run on the sand. He tinkers with spatulas and buckets, plays with cars, learns to swim. Dima will talk to him himself later. He comes often. Now in Moscow for work, but soon he will return to his son again... Platosha will stay in Bulgaria until the end of the summer. And in September, Dima is thinking about sending him to kindergarten in Moscow, it’s time for him to socialize, communicate with other children, and learn little by little.”

Zhanna Friske's father appeared on another television show to talk about how the family was coping with the tragedy and what was happening between them and Dmitry Shepelev. Vladimir Borisovich admitted that his wife this moment It’s very difficult and she still can’t recover from the grief. According to the man, Olga Vladimirovna leaves the house only to go to her daughter’s grave; she tries to avoid communicating with people. It’s interesting that Vladimir Friske was reluctant to talk about his son-in-law. Having dropped a couple of careless phrases that everything was not all right between them, he refused to explain the essence of the conflict in more detail. Zhanna Friske's father made it clear that he has something to reproach Dmitry Shepelev for, and there are a lot of things that he cannot forgive him.

It became known that, having only stayed briefly in Moscow after the funeral of Zhanna Friske, Dmitry Shepelev flew to his son in Bulgaria. At the reception of the Emerald Beach Resort and Spa, located in the resort town of Ravda, Shepelev was accidentally met by producer Evgeniy Fridlyand, who also arrived on Black Sea coast with a family. “Dima is holding up well! – he said on one of the social networks. - And Plato, my son, is such a good one - a chubby hero.... And he holds his hand. Doesn’t let go even one step...” Fridlyand also said that Shepelev fundamentally does not read the Internet and does not watch TV.

She helped her daughter with little Plato, looked after her when Zhanna was sick, and rejoiced with other close people when the singer felt better after an experimental vaccine. Unlike father Vladimir Borisovich Friske, who commented on the condition of his star daughter, acted for television and was generally a public figure, Zhanna Friske’s mother was always in the shadows, protecting her daughter’s peace.

After the funeral service, the coffin with the singer’s body was transported from the Yelokhovsky Cathedral to the Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye cemetery, where Zhanna Friske will find her final refuge. Already at noon, her relatives and close people gathered at the star’s grave, and security also concentrated on the site.

At the farewell ceremony for Zhanna Friske at Crocus City Hall, many were surprised why the deceased’s common-law husband, Dmitry Shepelev, was not among the relatives. Her father and mother, sister Natalya and her husband Sergei were sitting at the coffin with Zhanna’s body, but there was no beloved man. According to " Komsomolskaya Pravda", the reason is that Dmitry was unable to fly from Bulgaria on time, where he was with his parents and son Plato. It was expected that the TV presenter would be in Moscow the night before the funeral, which will take place on June 18. At the same time, Platon will remain abroad - the family decided not to traumatize the boy by participating in mourning events.

The release of Andrei Malakhov’s “Let Them Talk” program was dedicated to the memory of Zhanna. It showed the first interview with the singer’s father Vladimir Borisovich, given after the singer’s death. “We were hoping all this time. We thought there would be some kind of miracle. “I realized that miracles don’t happen,” said Vladimir Borisovich, without hiding his tears. - She gave birth in April, and fell ill two months later. I had thoughts that this was connected with her pregnancy. We were already sent to die then. Well done, she pulled through. There was a positive dynamic, she even drove once, she lost weight... When she regained consciousness, we slowly turned on her songs, she reacted and she felt better. I know she will be better off there than here. I don't know how I will live now. Only our grandson will remind us of her.” Her best friend Olga Orlova, composer Igor Krutoy, singer Valeria, singer Natasha Koroleva, stylist Vlad Lisovets and other stars also came to honor the memory of Zhanna. All of them not only shared their experiences, but also recalled bright moments associated with Zhanna Friske.

In Boris Korchevnikov’s “Live Broadcast” program, her family and friends spoke about the last days of Zhanna Friske’s life. The singer's sister Natalya gave a short interview. She said that on June 13, Zhanna lost consciousness, and spent the last two days of her life lying unconscious in bed at home. Zhanna Friske's father, Vladimir Borisovchi, also made a brief statement. “We chose the nearest cemetery - Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye. Dmitry wrote that he was leaving on the next plane, but I don’t know when he would return. Plato is now in Bulgaria. He literally left on Sunday, and on Monday Zhanna died... The boy was here for eight months, he just walked here, we wanted him to relax at sea. She was unconscious for three months. And she couldn’t say anything, she was in a coma. Her mother, sister and two friends were always with her. Dima was not there. Zhanna's departure was very difficult. The doctors couldn’t help, what was the point of calling an ambulance earlier - there was no pulse anymore,” said the singer’s dad. In addition to him, journalist Otar Kushanashvili, actress and TV presenter Elena Proklova, producer Andrei Razin and other stars had the opportunity to express their opinions on the program.

Her classmate Natalya Krechetova shared her memories of the years spent next to the star. The woman admitted that she would never forget her amazing friend and would forever remember her as bright and cheerful. In addition, Natalya stated that Zhanna Friske dreamed of a second child and sincerely believed that she had everything ahead of her. “Back in January, you dreamed of a second child and were full of hope. Sleep, my girl, you continue to live in your son,” wrote a classmate of the star. Krechetova published on her page on the social network rare photos girlfriends. In the photo, the open and smiling schoolgirl is easy to recognize as the people's favorite. This is exactly how Zhanna Friske was remembered by classmates, friends, colleagues and numerous fans. These shots have truly never been seen before; they are unique in their kind.

It is known that at the time of Zhanna Friske’s death, her husband and son were not with her: TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev and little Platon had flown to Bulgaria on vacation a few days earlier, where Dima’s parents, Andrei Viktorovich and Natalya Aleksandrovna Shepelev, were already waiting for them. “StarHit” contacted the TV presenter’s dad to express his condolences. "Thank you. We are holding on. It’s very difficult for all of us now,” said Andrei Shepelev. – We are now trying to fly out of Burgas together with Dima and Plato. Of course, there are problems with this, with tickets. Plato is still small. We don’t tell him yet that his mother is no more... We won’t take him to the funeral either...”

ELLE Brand Director Natalya Shkuleva spoke about the son of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev. “On the morning of June 14, Andrey (Malakhov - editor’s note) and I were returning from Baku,” Natalya shared with StarHit. “We were waiting for our luggage at Domodedovo airport and suddenly we saw Dima Shepelev, in his hands he was holding a diaper and a bottle of water. Little Plato ran around him non-stop. A very cheerful guy with a fashionable haircut, he looks like both Zhanna and Dima at the same time. I said Hi! How are you?" Plato became shy, sat down on the floor and hugged his father’s leg. But curiosity took over, the baby began to flirt: “Peek-a-boo” - and immediately hid. Dima and I started talking, it turned out they were flying to Bulgaria. Dima held on and didn’t show it, although we knew that the situation in the family was critical.”

Soon after it became known about the death of Zhanna Friske, her common-law husband, TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev commented on the death of his common-law spouse Zhanna Friske. He left a touching note on his Facebook page. “We always repeated: “Happiness loves silence.” I remain true to these words, because Zhanna remains for me absolute, pure, unique happiness. We didn't give up and fought to win. They say that 2 years is a long time in such a situation. But, of course, this is very little for us. I know for sure that we could not have done it without you. I want to thank everyone: who donated money for Zhanna’s treatment, prayed for her health, simply thought about her, wished her happiness and strength. I want you to know: these two years are largely your fault. Thank you! I wish you and your loved ones health. And in the near future I would like to focus on helping those who, like us, do not give up and fight for health and life.”

The singer’s father, Vladimir Borisovich, spoke about who her son Platon will remain with after the death of Zhanna Friske, who will take on the efforts to raise him. “The child must stay with his father. If he gives it to us, allows us to educate him, we will help educate him, naturally. Where should we leave him? He won’t be left without anyone,” the man said.

Zhanna’s son Platon was with her parents - Volodya and Olga. There was always a nanny-assistant with the child, it was too hard for Zhanna’s parents, they tried not to show their emotions to the baby.”

Later it became known that a few days before the death of Zhanna Friske, Platon flew abroad with his father Dmitry Shepelev. Most likely, we're talking about about Bulgaria: it was for a flight to this country that the family recently checked in at one of the capital’s airports.

It’s very hard for me,” said friend, singer and ex-soloist of “Brilliant” Olga Orlova.

Passed away beautiful woman, darling of millions, loving mother and wife – Zhanna Friske.

Her name has truly become a symbol of success and beauty. It took two years to fight a terrible disease - cancer, a brain tumor. Money collected for treatment, expensive clinics, support for loved ones, and even birth long-awaited son could not prevent the tragic outcome.

Zhanna's disease first appeared during pregnancy. According to her common-law husband, she knew about her illness, but refused treatment in order to bear a child. During this time, the singer became very close to her sister Natalya. It was she who had that ill-fated dream that foreshadowed trouble.

Natalya Friske saw her teeth falling out in a dream, which means the loss of a loved one.

Zhanna did not go to the doctors for a long time, although she had been tormented by headaches for a long time. She was taken to the hospital after she lost consciousness in mall. Mom, Olga Vladimirovna, was inclined to count bad feeling daughters and headache a sign of postpartum depression, and therefore decided to distract her daughter by going shopping with her.

At the hospital they discovered a brain tumor that was deep-seated and therefore inoperable. Later, doctors came to the conclusion that it was glioblastoma, a tumor that can be treated surgically.

This is one of the types of cancer that is insidious and aggressive; after the first symptoms appear, the patient lives no more than three months if left untreated. And even with the help of treatment, life expectancy does not increase much at all.

Hamburg and the Eppendorf clinic were the first starting point in the series of fight against the disease.

We continued treatment in New York, at the best specialized clinic named after Sloan-Kettering. Treatment at this hospital was quite expensive; consultation with specialists alone costs $5,000, and the cost of a single course of procedures is about $300,000. After exhausting consultations, chemotherapy was chosen.

After treatment in the USA, it was decided to transfer Zhanna to Los Angeles, where the chemistry was replaced with experimental drugs. Relatives did their best to protect the patient from media interference, but the information leaked to the media was as follows: Zhanna was allegedly treated with a new nanodrug ICT-107, which, according to the developers of the miracle vaccine, increases the chances of recovery.

Despite the protests of her family, Zhanna decided to try the untested medicine, which, as it turned out, was not in vain. After taking it, she felt better, lost 7 kg and even returned home. But it turned out that the disease only stopped for a short time.

In recent months, the singer was already unconscious, in a comatose state. Before her death, the singer no longer recognized her loved ones. At the time of the death of the people's favorite, there were her mother, father, sister and an old friend from “Brilliant” - Olga Orlova.
