Fashion historian Vasiliev explained the absence of Pugacheva at parting with Zaitsev

Today, Vyacheslav Zaitsev will be buried in a cemetery in Shchelkovo near Moscow. The funeral of the fashion designer ended in the local church. Those present noted with regret that only Nadezhda Babkina and Sergei Zverev came to say goodbye to Zaitsev.

– Isn’t Alla Pugacheva? – Zaitsev’s long-term friend, fashion historian Alexander Vasiliev, was surprised in a conversation with MK. – She went to Moscow specifically for this! She probably didn’t want too much attention. He will probably come to the cemetery.

“It’s a pity that many of the artists he dressed didn’t come,” Vasiliev continues. – Suppose Piekha’s absence can be explained – she probably does not walk herself. But he also dressed many other stars. This is very sad for me! Was there Babkina?

– Was! Why didn’t you come yourself?

– I could not physically, because at the moment I am very far away, in Paris. And direct planes, as you know, do not fly now. Why didn’t others come? Our society is stratified. And Shchyolkovo is very far away. Vyacheslav Mikhailovich is the most worthy of the artists and should have been buried at Novodevichy. The cemetery in Shchyolkovo may not be bad, but it is too far away.
