The famous singer and musician could have turned 60 on November 4 Igor Talkov, but 25 years ago, his life was suddenly cut short. Talkov's murder became one of the most notorious crimes of the early 1990s, and some moments of his life are considered by many to be signs warning of imminent death.
Mystical omens accompanied Talkov all his life. Death could have overtaken him much earlier. Back in 1969, at the age of 13, Igor and his friends played a dangerous game: they squeezed each other's carotid artery in order to shut off for a short while, and then tell whom what visions came at that moment. Igor then lost consciousness for 20 minutes, and when frightened friends managed to bring him to his senses, he said that he had heard a voice telling him: "Your time has not come yet."
In the mid-1980s. Talkov first appeared on television: first as a soloist of the Electroclub group, then as a solo singer. Gradually, he moves from lyric songs to acute social ones. In the late 1980s. Talkov created his own group - "Lifebuoy", and began to perform songs of his own composition. Incredible popularity came to him, he toured a lot. However, it was at this time that clouds began to gather over him. The singer's brother Vladimir recalled: “The song“Russia”turned out to be fatal for Igor, he signed his own death warrant with it. I immediately told him about it, and he himself understood. When the song was finally edited, at night Igor dreamed of black hands that were trying to strangle him. In general, there was always a lot of mysticism around my brother. How did he live with it? I believed in God."
The lyrics of his songs were too bold for those times, and Igor Talkov's widow Tatyana repeatedly stated that he was inconvenient for the authorities, whose authority he never recognized. Therefore, theories were also put forward that the murder of the singer was organized by the special services, and although this was not confirmed, many today express similar assumptions. But the popularity of Talkov in the early 1990s. was so high that it was extremely unprofitable for the authorities to attract the attention of millions by killing an idol.
In 1989, the singer was going to fly on another tour, his wife was worried before his departure, and he said a phrase that Tatyana Talkova remembered forever: “Do not be afraid, I will die differently - with a large crowd of people. And the killer will never be found. " They say that Pavel Globa predicted such a fate for him. His role in the film "Beyond the Last Line" also became prophetic: according to the plot, his hero died from a point-blank shot. The scene was filmed on October 6, 1990, exactly one year before his death.
In the early 1990s. during a tour in Tajikistan, the singer was electrocuted. Vladimir Talkov witnessed this incident: “He was lying on the floor unconscious, he had convulsions, he was twisted into some incredible position. He had a bass guitar in his hands, which we could not tear off in any way. The strings burned to the palm … After this story, Igor was afraid for some time to take the microphone in his hands, asked to wrap it with insulation."
The day before his death, Talkov broke a string during a performance, which was considered a bad omen by the musicians. Before leaving for St. Petersburg, he said goodbye to his wife and son for a very long time. And on October 6, that fateful concert happened. The conflict did not occur between Talkov and Aziza, but between their directors - Shlyafman and Malakhov. Aziza did not have time to change before her appearance on the stage, and Talkov was asked to perform in front of her. The singer did not mind, but Shlyafman began to sort things out and, according to the singer's wife, provoked a fight with the use of weapons.
Whose shot turned out to be fatal - Shlyafman or Malakhov - is still arguing. Experts are inclined to think that it was an accident, and an accidental bullet killed the singer in a brawl. After that, Shlyafman emigrated to Israel and changed his last name. Igor Talkov died at the age of 34. The punishment for his murder - unintentional or deliberate - was never borne by anyone.
So many versions were expressed about the circumstances of this murder that 25 years after the death of the singer, finding the truth is as difficult as solving the mystery of the death of Viktor Tsoi
