The brother of the singer Natalie spoke about the last days of her husband Alexander Rudin

Singer Natalie buried her beloved husband Alexander Rudin. They lived together for over thirty years. In marriage, they had three sons. The youngest – Zhenya – recently turned 6 years old. The departure of 53-year-old Alexander was a great shock not only for Natalie, but for all her loved ones. About how the singer comes to her senses after the death of her husband, Anton Minyaev, the brother of the performer of the hit “Oh God, what a man,” told MK correspondents.

– The phone is ringing these days without stopping, – says Anton. – A lot of calls – I do not pick up the phone. No time to talk now. We contacted the ritual center, they did everything well. Sasha spent several days in a ritual house in Moscow, and on Sunday he was brought to Dzerzhinsk. Everything is as it should be: farewell, funeral service …

– Was he buried?

– Yes, they did. Sasha was sick for a long time. He had severe post-COVID syndrome. Unfortunately, this disease and its consequences have not yet been thoroughly studied all over the world. She gives complications to someone’s head, to someone – to the liver, to other organs. Sasha’s covid affected the central nervous system. He was treated, Natasha supported him, was always next to him …

– Why did they decide to bury Alexander not in Moscow, but in Dzerzhinsk?

– Natasha and Sasha were born here. They call Dzerzhinsk their favorite city. They feel like locals all their lives, despite having a Moscow residence permit. Here are their children – already real Muscovites, and they have always been ours.

How is Natalie feeling?

– Natasha is a very strong person. For her, Sasha’s departure is a great tragedy, a serious blow. But he was ill for a long time. Of course, we never expected that everything would turn out like this …

Sister is holding on. She has three children, we need to think about them. I always say: “Life does not stand still, you have to live today. He passed – and thank God.

Natasha is supported by children. In this regard, she is a great fellow. In our families, it is so established that our children are more friends than children. Against the background of everything that is happening, they are next to her – everyone understands so much. Of course, it’s hard for them, but, nevertheless, everyone was present at the funeral, even little Zhenya …

Sasha was the soul of any company, a true friend. That’s how it was for everyone in the beginning. Some time ago, we began to meet and see each other less often, because they lived in Moscow, and we lived in Dzerzhinsk. But we met at holidays, anniversaries, other celebrations …

We have just buried Sasha’s father Alexander Alekseevich. By the way, we never called him by his first name. For all of us, he has always been Sasha’s dad. He left, and two weeks later Sasha.

His dad was seriously ill – everyone knew very well about this. He had bypass surgery some time ago. After a few years, the consequences began to show. He was treated. Brought here two years ago. Sasha’s mother was by his side all the time. Hellish labor.

– Alexander loved Natalie a lot?

– I loved it very much, just to madness. You know, many say: “He was both a friend, and a brother, and a husband.” This is true. They have such an idyll: just do not spill water. They understood each other perfectly. I looked at them, at their communication and rejoiced. myself in his place at some point. I could flare up, but they didn’t have such a thing. Natasha will say a word, and he immediately understands everything. To be honest, I don’t know any more such people.

– How did Alexander appear in your family?

– We played with Natasha in the ensemble. And at that time rock festivals were popular in our city. They were often carried out. There were always a lot of people there. And Natasha performed at one of these festivals. Sasha saw her, came up to meet her. And then they started dating. Sasha was such a bright comrade – he was immediately remembered by everyone.

– Natalie has had a series of tragedies in the last three years: her father, father-in-law, husband, the first producer Valery Ivanov died …

– Yes. Valera is dead. He also lay in bed for a long time, he was ill. Before he left, we also talked – we were invited to a program on television. After Natasha, he completely tied up with music. Everyone has their own destiny. You know, in the song “The wind blew from the sea” there are such lines: “It can be seen that it’s not fate.” Apparently, they also had no luck. Everyone got tired of each other: both Valera and Natasha. After his sister Valera, he did not take on any other project. He probably realized that it wasn’t his. He didn’t want to make music. He left for another business.

What are Natalie’s plans? Will he stay in Dzerzhinsk or go straight to Moscow?

– Let him go to Moscow. There is nothing for her to do here. I send her home. Maybe mom will go with her. Natasha needs to slowly start working.

– Is she going on tour?

– She went, goes and will go. This was one of Sasha’s wills. He wanted her to in no case leave her work, creativity. It was his request. Natasha herself told me that he himself asked her about it.
