Only after the death of his son did it become known about the secret wife of the creator of "Tender May"

Andrey RAZIN was orphaned for the second time in his life - he lost his beloved son Sasha. The teenager felt unwell while walking with a girl. Alexander's companion immediately called an ambulance, but, Unfortunately,the doctors were powerless, and the 16-year-old boy died.The cause of death was a heart defect. The disease was asymptomatic and no one knew about it.

Sasha's mother is called the second wife of the musician Faina. In fact, she was the third wife of Razin - a beautiful girl with nice name Maritana. Before the tragedy almost no one knew about its existence.

It is not surprising to get confused in the wives of Andrei Razin. Apart from civil marriages, his first official wife was Natalia Lebedeva, and second - Faina Razina, which is mistakenly called Sasha's mother. Misunderstanding arose due to the fact that Alexander's real mother is Razin's third wife, Maritana, who gave birth from the producer when he was still married to Faina. The fact is that all the weddings and divorces of Razin took place in strict confidence. Andrei Alexandrovich first secretly divorced Faina, and then secretly married Maritana. After living with Maritana for a couple of years, he divorced her and again secretly married Faina. Thus Faina became his fourth wife. Although everyone considers her the second, since no one knew about the intermediate third marriage of Razin with Maritana.

Love at first sight

They met Maritana in 2000. Seeing her walking along the Sochi embankment, Razin could not muster the courage to speak, and did not think of anything better than to send his guard after her. He later told his friends that for the first time in his life he felt timid. He was fascinated not so much by the appearance of the girl as by the wave of some unearthly charm emanating from her.

During the first month of dating, he lost 12 kilograms from love. This won the young heart of the beauty. Returning to his former physical form, Andrei took her to Miami for a honeymoon, and then Sasha was born.

Crazy with happiness, Razin tossed between unexpected fatherhood and the active construction of a political career. Deputation, participation in the elections of the governor of the Stavropol Territory - all this did not fit in with his desire to go on stage and scream into the microphone about his new love. The son and additional wife had to be hidden from everyone.

He decided on a divorce from Faina and a secret wedding with Maritana only after being elected for the next deputy term. Sasha was already six years old.

The wedding ceremony in Moscow was attended only by the closest people, mainly from Maritana's side. Many of them then saw Sasha for the first time - a cheerful blond boy, an exact copy of Andrei, in whom he doted.

At some point, Razin was so carried away by raising his son that he missed his wife. Divorce, like a wedding, took place in complete secrecy. Since then, Sasha lived with each of his parents in turn. He considered himself very lucky, because both mom and dad tried to love him for two.

My pain of loss is unbearable,” Andrey Alexandrovich wrote on his page on the social network when he learned about the death of his son.

Genuine Documents

In the hospital when examining things in a purse Razin Jr. found driver's license with his photo, but the owner was recorded as Razin Alexander Andreevich, born in 1996. The second document was social card Muscovite in the name of Razin Alexander Andreevich born in 2001, which corresponded to the real age young man.

There is no mystery here. Sasha's certificate was real, and the years that gave the teenager the right to drive a car were thrown at him by traffic police officers interested in raising their standard of living.

By the way

Andrei Razin has a 32-year-old son, Ilya, from a fleeting connection with a fan, the existence of which the producer found out only in 2003.

Various rumors circulated about him, his death was wished on and the juvenile fans of the orphan musical group "Tender May" prayed for him. How did Andrei Razin break through the stage, create a legendary group and manage to survive in the dashing 90s?

Biography

Born on September 15, 1963 in Stavropol. Fate did not give him a chance to grow up in a loving and happy family. Andrei's parents died in a car accident 11 months after his birth. The child ended up in a sanatorium orphanage, where he was brought up until 1972. It was there that he, being a third grade student, was photographed with Mikhail Gorbachev. Subsequently, this photo will play a key role in his life.

After leaving school, he entered a vocational school, where he mastered the profession of a bricklayer. The next three years he worked in the Far North, laying a gas pipeline. There he graduated from evening high school. Creative nature required other employment, and he returns home, where he enters a cultural education school. However, it was not possible to get a second profession, as he was expelled for poor progress. He joined the ensemble "Bravo" and performed in its composition before the army.

creative endeavors

Having paid his debt to the Motherland, he decides to build a career on television. For several months he worked as an assistant director until he met Anne Veski. The singer came on tour, and Andrei Razin became her administrator. Having studied all the pop cuisine, he decides to become a singer, especially since there were data for this.

In 1985, a truly historic debut took place in the Morning Post program. Then they didn’t pay attention to the slender twitchy boy special attention, but what was worth only his backing dancers - Boris Moiseev himself and his trio "Expression".

Never having received recognition, he returns home and becomes the deputy chairman of the collective farm. He needed money to get off to a good start. Not having a wide vocal range, he was well aware that he would not compete with Leshchenko or Kobzon. Having received money to buy a tractor, without hesitation, he leaves for Moscow.

Running the pipeline

In the capital, he adjoins the composition of the Mirage group. Working as the administrator of a popular band, he quickly realizes that the change of soloists does not affect popularity in any way. The director does not even bother to re-record the soundtrack - people simply do not have time to remember all the singers. It makes no difference who opens his mouth, the main thing is that the people of the song love and want to see a dancing girl on stage. Soon, several bands called Mirage are already touring the country.

Orphans

In 1986, several children from the orphanage were preparing for the school disco and were deciding what to name their beginning group. When a few minutes remain before entering the dance floor, everyone agrees on the name "Tender May". The team is wildly successful with their peers, and soon Andrei Razin was lucky to hear several songs from their repertoire. Being the same orphanage as the guys, he decides to help the boys unwind. The head of the musical group, Sergei Kuznetsov, agrees to move to Moscow with the boys. At that time, soloist Yuri Shatunov was only 13 years old, and he had to go to school. The songs were recorded right in the boarding school, and Andrei Razin himself took up further promotion.

Having a cassette with recordings in his hands, Razin simply did not know what to do with it now. There is no point in bringing it to television: even eminent performers have to fight their way there. The radio will not take the songs of unknown boys into rotation. Then a brilliant idea comes to mind. Where else can people hear compositions, and even many times? Of course, on the train. Razin does a large number of copies and distributes to conductors. For weeks, songs performed by the band are spinning in all trains long distance. The people like both the repertoire and the voices. You can start issuing a real circulation and wait for the profit.

Cassettes scattered all over the country. Sales have been phenomenal. “Tender May” was listened to by everyone - from young to old. When the story about the boys from the orphanage was leaked to the press, the country was drowned in tears. Never before have Soviet performers known such fame as a few young orphans. Yuri Shatunov became the idol of the generation of the late 80s of the last century.

Tour

But before his first tour of the USSR, even Razin himself did not know how enormously popular his team was. Something unimaginable happened at the concerts - girls from 12 to 18 years old went crazy, squealed and tried to tear at least a shred from Shatunov's T-shirt. Full halls, full houses and incredible profits led to the fact that Andrei Razin quickly and without any problems became a millionaire. In the Soviet Union, a salary of 120 rubles was considered very decent, and his apartment was filled with bags of money.

Singer

Giving a lot of time to study, Yura could not constantly travel around the country and enrich his producer. Then Razin decided that it was not worth interrupting the tour because of such a trifle. People will go to the performance, even if Shatunov does not sing. He records several songs and becomes the lead singer of the group himself. It is worth noting that the public accepted him well, he gained his fan base. But still, the glory of his protégé was far away, even though the same Kuznetsov wrote songs to Andrei Razin. Yes, people went to concerts, but not so willingly. Then he recalls the experience in the Mirage and decides to repeat the trick with several teams.

Go!

At first, people did not notice anything unusual. Shatunov was shown on TV extremely rarely, and more recently, Razin completely forbade filming guys without his knowledge. But the photo of Andrei Razin adorned all the posters. Dozens of bands traveled around the cities and gave concerts. Outwardly similar to Shatunov, the boys diligently opened their mouths to the soundtrack and broke the applause. But for a long time to hide such a scam did not work. Razin was threatened with a criminal case, so he quickly announced the recruitment of talented guys in the group. Now he could officially send dozens of young men on tour. In addition, even at the beginning of his career, he managed to tell everyone that he was the nephew of Mikhail Gorbachev. To whom it is necessary and not necessary, he showed a photo, and they preferred not to touch him for the time being.

Split

For three years, the group has been at the peak of popularity. Money flows like a river. It was they who became the reason for the departure of Sergei Kuznetsov from the team. They did not share income with Razin, and Andrei became the absolute director of the group. The ambitious Kuznetsov prophetically declared that there would be no “Tender May” without him, and he could create a new team and repeat the success. The last big breakthrough was 13 concerts at the Olimpiysky sports complex. Every day, 60 thousand people came to listen to their favorite band. But then the decline began. New songs did not become hits, and after two years of fruitless attempts to repeat the success, the group broke up. Shatunov went to live in Germany.

Life after success

Back in 1985, Andrei Razin lived in a civil marriage with his girlfriend. Relations did not work out, and they quickly dispersed. At that moment, the aspiring singer did not yet know that ex-lover gave birth to a child from him. Only in 2003 did he receive information that he had a son, Ilya.

By that time, Razin's life was already more like a Brazilian TV series. Faina's second wife was forgotten when the producer met the blond beauty Maritana on the Sochi embankment. He could not resist, and soon they were already living together. But Razin was in no hurry to get a divorce: he officially broke off relations with his wife when his son and Maritana were already 6 years old. But in the new family, he did not find what he was looking for, and soon divorced again. He returned to Faina, who became his second and fourth wife.

Tragedy

In 2017, the youngest son of Andrei Razin, Alexander, turned 16 years old. The guy grew up athletic and very sociable. While walking with his girlfriend, he suddenly fell right on the street and died. Ambulance arrived quickly, but they failed to bring the guy back to life. Recently, the young man had an acute respiratory viral infection, and the doctor who prescribed him did not notice any complications. They caused the heart to stop. Andrei Razin was crippled by the death of his son, but he did not make scandals and sue the hospital. His comments were concise and did not contain any angry or offensive words.

At the moment, Razin is engaged in his political career and is not officially married. He is regularly seen with charming companions, but he is in no hurry to propose to anyone. Sometimes he appears at retro concerts and performs his biggest hits. He continues to be friends with Yuri Shatunov, but no longer aspires to be a producer.

Born September 15, 1963. Parents died in a car accident. He was brought up in an orphanage.

From 1978 to 1979 he studied at the Stavropol GPTU No. 24. After graduating from college, he received the profession of a bricklayer.

From 1986 to 1988, he worked as deputy chairman for the supply of the Sverdlov collective farm in the village of Privolnoye, Krasnogvardeisky district, Stavropol Territory.

The beginning of a musical career

In 1988, having received money to buy a tractor, he went to Moscow, where he got a job at the Record recording studio. There, his duties included looking for new talents, as well as communicating with suppliers of film, equipment, etc. He collaborated with the Mirage group. According to his own statement, he created it (although the official website of the group claims that this is not so).

Best of the day

"Tender May"

In June 1988, the album of the group "Tender May" recorded in the city of Orenburg fell into the hands of Razin. On July 4 of the same year, succumbing to the persuasion of Razin, who introduced himself as an employee of the Ministry of Culture, the poet and composer, creator of the Laskovy May group, Sergey Borisovich Kuznetsov, arrived in Moscow.

On September 9, 1988, the soloist of the group Yura Shatunov turns up in the capital. This is followed by work in the studio and countless tours of the team, headed by Andrei Alexandrovich. Soon Razin convinces Kuznetsov to record a solo album for him, which is subsequently served under the guise of "Tender May".

On February 3, 1989, the Vzglyad program announced the opening of a criminal case against A. Razin by the prosecutor's office of the Dzerzhinsky district of Moscow under Article 1 of the Criminal Code of the RSFSR.

In early 1992, Razin announced the breakup of the Tender May group.

Leaving for politics

In 1993 Andrei Razin became the rector of the Stavropol Institute of Contemporary Arts at the Stavropol University.

He was elected chairman of the Stavropol Cultural Fund.

Andrei Razin, singer, talented manager and producer of the 90s, is now involved in politics. Many Russians remember the incredible popularity of the Laskovy May group, which was promoted by the ubiquitous and enterprising Razin.

Childhood

Andrei Razin was born in Stavropol on September 15, 1963. His father, Alexander Vatslavovich, was a native of the Belarusian city of Grodno. Having moved to Stavropol, the young man graduated from the artillery school. The officer became interested in the actress of the local theater, Valentina Ivanovna Krivorotova. She reciprocated Alexander, after a while the couple went to the registry office.

A boy was born in a young family, he was named Andrei. When the son was one year old, his parents died in a car accident. The boy at that time remained with his grandmother, who immediately became blind from the tragedy. There was no one to look after the baby, he ended up in the Svetlogradsky orphanage. Razin spent all his childhood and youth in Svetlograd. Entrepreneurial acumen, the desire to earn their money manifested itself in the character of the boy very early. Already at the age of 12, he enthusiastically works at the grape harvest. Andrei spent the money he received wisely - a year later he went to the resort.

In the summer of 1976, when V. M. Gostev, his adoptive grandmother, invited the teenager to her house, an interesting story happened to him. Gosteva worked as a cook for M.S. Gorbachev. Mikhail Sergeevich rested with his family in the village of Privolnoye with his mother.

Having gone to swim in the Yegorlyk River, the Gorbachevs invited Andrei with them. This is how the famous photograph appeared, which depicts the Gorbachev couple, their daughter Irina and Andrei Razin. This photo will play an important role in Razin's biography, give him the opportunity to impersonate Gorbachev's nephew.

After the 8th grade, the young man graduated from the local GPTU, received the profession of a bricklayer. On a Komsomol ticket, he leaves to work in the Far North, was engaged in the construction of the Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline.

But he did not like life in extreme conditions, although the northerners at that time earned good money. In 1982, Razin returned to his native Stavropol, entered the cultural and educational school. The study did not work out, after a while he was expelled for poor progress. A year later, Andrei was called to active service, which he graduated as a tank commander. After demobilization, the guy returns to Stavropol, but nothing keeps him in his hometown, Razin leaves for Ryazan. It was here that his entrepreneurial talent first manifested itself.

Show Business

A charismatic young man who does not have a specialized education, without any problems got a job at the Ryazan Regional Philharmonic as a deputy director. Andrei quickly showed that he was in the right place. The young man negotiated with officials without any problems, quickly established contacts, and skillfully used them. He was also appreciated for the instantaneous generation of creative ideas. He did not miss the slightest opportunity to move up the career ladder, take warm place under the sun.

A warm place was soon found, but it again ended up in Siberia. Razin was offered a job at the Chita Committee for Television and Radio. The lack of specialized education did not hurt, after a while the talented young man became the first assistant director. Cultural life in Transbaikalia at that time was very intense. Here often there were Soviet pop stars, whom the hospitable Chita residents met with Siberian cordiality. When Anne Veski arrived with tour concerts, the first assistant director of the Chita radio made a great impression on the singer. Razin received the post of administrator and left the city with the star.

As an administrator, Anne Veski, the young man visited many cities of the Soviet Union. He did not waste time, acquired useful contacts, gained the necessary experience, which is indispensable in show business. For what reason Razin left Veska is unknown. He returns to Stavropol, to the village of Privolnoye, to the homeland of M.S. Gorbachev, who during this period was already general secretary. Razin gets a job as deputy chairman of the collective farm, but now he is working in full accordance with his far-reaching plans.

In Privolnoye, they still remember the scandalous story associated with Razin. He was given money to buy a tractor, Andrei went to Moscow. Razin was never seen again in this village; he never bought a tractor. These funds were spent on his future career. He got a job at the record company Record, where he began to carefully look at young talents.

Razin told everyone around him that he was Gorbachev's nephew, and the famous photograph with a high-ranking family was presented to those who were especially incredulous.

After that, all questions to Razin disappeared. The first successful project of the future producer was the Mirage group, where Razin works as an opening singer.

Group "Tender May"

The Mirage experience and the position held were invaluable. The search for talents was finally crowned with success, Razin drew attention to the songs of the little-known group "Tender May". The soloist of the group was a young man, whose fate was in many ways similar to the fate of Andrei. An enterprising young man had a brilliant idea - to apply all his strength and skills to promote this team. Razin had enough strength and skills, for starters, the young "combinator" had to persuade the creator of "Tender May" to move with the group to the capital.

He introduced himself as an employee of the Ministry of Culture and very quickly solved this difficult task. After Razin will prove himself an unsurpassed master of advertising. He recorded a million cassettes with the songs of "Tender May", found a simple but very effective way to "promote" an unknown group to the level of Russian pop stars. As distributors of cassettes, train conductors worked for him, plying to all parts of a huge country. For a fee, the conductors of the song delighted passengers along the entire route. The enterprising Razin became not only a producer, but also a soloist. Video clips were recorded for his songs "On the White Blanket of January", "Kaleidoscope", "Old Forest".

Through the efforts of Andrei Razin, "Tender May" became a cult group of the 90s. This team collected entire stadiums. To earn more money, Razin goes to "clone" the group. There were more than two dozen front groups, the sound was provided by a phonogram. The commercial success of "Tender May" could not be surpassed by any Russian star.

Policy

Any successful project built on fraud and deceit is short-lived. Razin understood this very well, in 1993 he became the rector of the Institute of Arts in Stavropol. During the 1996 presidential race, he was a confidant of Gennady Zyuganov. Then Razin becomes the head of the Stavropol Cultural Fund, trying to become an independent deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. In 2008, he was appointed general director of the Sochi-14 International Olympic Festival.

At the moment, Razin is still involved in concert activities, goes on tour in Russia and neighboring countries. A few months ago, he took part in the Live Broadcast program hosted by Andrey Malakhov.

Personal life

The talented producer had a civil marriage in the 80s, then the young people broke up. In 2003, Andrei found out that he had a son, Ilya.
