Vyacheslav Zaitsev will be buried next to the crime bosses of the 90s: preparation details

On May 4, Vyacheslav Zaitsev will be buried in Shchelkovo near Moscow. This is what the family decided.

What is the Zhegalovsky cemetery, where the fashion designer will rest, who helped organize the funeral, and what is happening now in the Zaitsev Fashion House – in the MK material.

On the eve of the funeral, Vyacheslav Zaitsev’s Fashion House was put in order. True, only outside. Two men were cleaning the doors.

Inside the room looks run down. It seems that repairs have not been carried out here since the founding of the House, that is, since 1982. There are gaping holes in the ceiling, cracked tiles on the floor, dusty wires sticking out at the guards’ table, the doorposts have not been restored since Soviet times. Sad spectacle.

– There is no one here, they came in vain, – the guard meets at the entrance. – I haven’t seen Vyacheslav Mikhailovich’s son for a long time. After his father’s death, he did not come here. But before they both often visited. In fact, they never crossed paths. It seemed to me that they had a schedule drawn up, who would arrive on what day. By the way, Vyacheslav Zaitsev himself was here shortly before his death. We exchanged a few words. He was a good man, kind, but naive. I’m not surprised why dubious people were spinning around him.

– Didn’t you arrange a commemoration here?

– No, they did not arrange anything. The portrait of Zaitsev in a mourning frame was also not set. On the day of his death, a couple of people came to the Fashion House, brought flowers. You see, there are quite a few bouquets… No one told us anything about the funeral, we learned everything from the media. Journalists come, but we have nothing to say. And now there is no one here who could tell about the fashion designer.

– Are there any events taking place here?

– Very rarely shows were arranged. Silence, guarding, in fact, an empty building. But there is someone to protect from, there are enough fools. People pass by, then they kick the door with their foot, they can arrange a brawl. You need to be alert.

– In which case, do you have something to defend yourself with?

– We don’t have anything.

– It can be seen that there has not been a repair here for a long time?

– It’s very noticeable, isn’t it? I agree a refurbishment would be nice.

In recent scandals over the place of burial, the interlocutor takes the side of the son of Vyacheslav Zaitsev, Yegor: “This is a personal matter of the family, where to bury a loved one. Why are strangers interfering?

“Pugacheva did not report on her visit”

In Shchelkovo, where the fashion designer’s funeral will take place on Thursday, local residents are on alert. At the city forum, people are discussing the upcoming funeral ceremony.

“We must definitely go to church for the funeral, since admission is free.”

“We are waiting for a crowd of stars in the city.”

“I will definitely go to the cemetery tomorrow. And at the same time I will visit my own, and Zaitsev.

But about the choice of burial place, people are surprised. “Couldn’t they have found a more decent cemetery? The man has done so much for the country, but he deserved only a rural churchyard.

“It is now difficult to get a place on Zhegalovsky. So, for sure, Zaitsev’s relatives laid out a tidy sum or agreed with the administration.”

“It is, of course, tin! A man of world significance – and suddenly the Zhegalovsky cemetery. It doesn’t fit in my head.”

“I have all my relatives in that cemetery,” says a local resident. I didn’t see any celebrity graves there. Apparently, Zaitsev will be the first. But there are a lot of crime bosses from the 90s and “brothers”. In general, an ordinary cemetery, nothing remarkable. The only plus is that it is located near the road, it is easy to get to relatives. No labyrinths, you won’t get lost. It would be nice if Zaitsev was buried closer to the forest, at least the birds sing there.

A man who lives not far from the churchyard said that if the grave is not taken care of, then there will be no problems: “There seems to be a caretaker there, but he is of no use. There was a case when marauders stole fences from a cemetery. Some were turned out, something was cut down, the monuments were broken. Everything was sold for scrap metal. Bad job with cleanup. After bad weather, do not pass.

We contacted the employees of the administration of the city of Shchelkovo. We were confirmed that the local authorities helped organize the funeral of the fashion designer.

– All the necessary assistance to the Zaitsev family was provided. After all, Vyacheslav Mikhailovich was an honorary citizen of the Shchelkovo urban district, he was awarded the title in 2018. Why exactly they bury him there, you ask your relatives, we don’t know.

– There was information that Alla Pugacheva arrived in Moscow. Will she come to the funeral?

– She did not inform us, did not report on the visit. But we provide security. All necessary security measures will be followed.
