Andrei Razin: “Due to the fact that the Moscow government, after all, decided not to contact Sergei Shnurov after insulting Moscow and Muscovites with obscene words, I never received any apology from him to Muscovites. Moreover, Shnurov ran like a cowardly hare to the prosecutor's office with a request to protect him from Muscovites. First he said nasty things, and then he hides like a rat... In this regard, I decided today from the city of Tyumen, where I am on tour, to send by registered mail a statement to Alexander Ivanovich Bastrykin to bring Shnurov to criminal responsibility for the acts that he committed against Moscow and Muscovites».

Andrey Razin - biography
Where others passed by money, he simply picked it up. While the others were thinking, he acted. And he became one of the first Russian millionaires when he was not yet thirty. But today Andrei Razin would give all the money in the world for the life of one single person...
He always knew that he deserved more. Since childhood I have been inventing about myself different stories, and they turned out to be so coherent and believable that both the listeners and the narrator himself believed in them.
The biography of Andrei Razin seems to be woven from the life lines of several people. Orphanage worker. A graduate of a vocational school who received the profession of a mason. Builder of the Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod gas pipeline. Deputy chairman of the collective farm. Student of the Stavropol cultural and educational school. Tank commander. Assistant director for television. Administrator Anne Veski. Deputy Director of the Ryazan Regional Philharmonic. Singer in "Morning Mail".
It’s hard to believe that he managed to master so many different specialties in just 6 years! But show business turned out to be the most attractive for Andrey. The peak of his career in this area is “Tender May”.
The team's success story began in 1988, when Razin came to Moscow, got a job at the Ministry of Culture and headed a studio for gifted orphans. He obtained funds for “promotion” with the help of a photograph in which he was captured together with Gorbachev. He explained: “I am the nephew of “the one”,” and officials rushed to help. However, real fame and big money came when Andrei came up with several win-win business ideas.
Firstly, he realized that to promote the group it was very useful to tell touching stories about the guys. Cute boys with difficult fate packed stadiums! Secondly, it occurred to him that six concerts a day are much better than one: you can earn more, and your popularity is growing by leaps and bounds. And thirdly, he created clone groups that gave “Tender May” concerts (to a soundtrack) simultaneously in Vladivostok and, for example, in Moscow.
When the noise around the group began to gradually subside, Razin realized: it was time to switch to new level- and invested the money he earned... in himself. Got two higher education, defended his Ph.D., became a deputy of the Stavropol Regional Duma, and the number of positions he held in different years, simply cannot be counted: and the adviser to the mayor of Yalta, and the artistic director of the Olympic Committee, and the director of the Sochi-2014 festival... Razin quickly gained weight, and not only in a figurative sense - now respect-inspiring solidity was added to his natural charm.
In dealing with women, he followed the same rule as in politics: “The more illusions, the more faith.” Andrei easily changed girlfriends, disappeared and returned without explanation. I learned that he had a son, Ilya, almost 20 years after his birth. In 2001, their second son, Sasha, was born. Soon his mother left for the USA and took the baby with her. But Razin, a former orphanage resident, understood how difficult it was for a guy to grow up without a father, and therefore insisted that his son would live either with him or with his mother. He doted on Sasha, cared for him touchingly and was sincerely proud of his successes in art (he drew well) and sports.
Trouble came suddenly: shortly before his 16th birthday, Sasha lost consciousness while walking: his heart stopped. The efforts of the doctors - a doctor who happened to be nearby and an ambulance crew - were in vain. Later the diagnosis was made: asymptomatic heart disease...
Now Andrei Razin is creating a museum where his son’s works will be exhibited. This is a memory and a reminder that the opportunity to hug your own child is more valuable than any money.
Andrei Razin had two sons. Moreover, the producer of the group “Tender May” learned about the eldest, 32-year-old Ilya, only in 2003. Currently, the young man lives in St. Petersburg, works as a stylist, and has his own studio in Sochi. Despite the years of separation, Ilya is close to his father and maintained a relationship with his half-brother Alexander.
ON THE TOPIC
Meanwhile, for several years, Ilya Razin has been dating model Elizaveta. Their relationship is more than serious - Ilya introduced his beloved to his father, and he approved of his choice. And last year, Ilya proposed to Elizabeth. The singer, Andrei Razin’s lover Natalya Grozovskaya told reporters about this.
“Ilya is getting married in August. Andrei hopes that Ilyusha will have many grandchildren, and they will help him recover from such a strong shock and grief,” Starhit quotes the artist. Let us remind you that Andrei Razin’s 16-year-old son Alexander died of a heart attack. The guy felt bad while walking with his girlfriend. She called an ambulance, and doctors tried to save Alexander for two hours.
Cardiologist, as the site previously wrote, possible reason The young man's death was attributed to lack of sleep and improper daily routine. According to her, many teenagers sleep only five hours a day, which causes changes in heart rate. In addition, some young people are ruining their health by drinking energy drinks, the harmful effects of which have been recognized by doctors around the world. However, according to another version, Sasha was diagnosed with a heart defect, which had not been diagnosed earlier and was asymptomatic.
Alexander Razin was buried at the Troekurovskoye cemetery on March 14. On March 19, the producer left a sad note on his Instagram account. "Now 9 days have passed since this sinner left, but beautiful world our son Alexander Razin. We, mother Maritanna and I, father, are madly grieving for this irreparable loss, but are immensely grateful to all our loved ones and relatives who supported us in these tragic days. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. May God protect you,” Razin addressed the concerned public.
