Today we want to touch upon the sad topic of the attitude of the heirs to the memory of their famous relatives. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that with age, the once favorites of the whole country become useless to anyone. Some live out old age in poverty, while others after their death remain in oblivion. Relatives sincerely believe that since the artist was popularly loved, then the whole world needs to collect for the funeral and the monument. So lonely and their graves remain without proper registration, and sometimes even care.

Lyudmila Senchina

Favorite singer and actress Lyudmila Senchina died in 2018, she was buried according to her will at the Smolensk cemetery in St. Petersburg. The civil funeral service was magnificent, condolences to relatives and friends were expressed by the highest ranks, cultural and art workers, and not only from our state. However, even three years later, her relatives still have not erected a monument there. Her son has been living in the United States for a long time and is engaged in real estate trading there. And in his homeland, he appeared only at the funeral and when the opportunity arose to enter into an inheritance.

The property of the People's Artist has already been partially sold out, but her relatives still have no money to honor the memory. Let us remind you that “the crystal voice of our country” - that is how Senchina was called among the people - worked until recently, and was already seriously ill. She was able, in addition to the privatized ordinary kopeck piece, to buy 2 apartments for 20 million rubles of cadastral value, a luxurious house in the village of Solnechny, a parking space worth 1 million rubles.

But the artist's wealth does not mean that the money earned by honest labor will be used for the good. There is still a modest cross on her grave. Her son Vyacheslav Timoshin travels, his photos flaunt in social networks against the backdrop of the nature of sunny Thailand. Unfortunately, the legal norms are such that only the one who was engaged in the design of the grave can give permission for any work on the grave. In this particular case, it is her son. So we can only hope that someday he will come to honor the memory of his mother.

Vladimir Shainsky

We know and sing the songs of the famous children's composer from the earliest period of our life. They are full of sun, joy of life, love and friendship. However, it is quite possible that you will not be able to come and put flowers on the grave of your favorite composer - an inconspicuous burial place may simply not be found. How did it happen that until now the People's Artist of the RSFSR did not deserve a monument? Recall that Vladimir Yakovlevich has a son from his second marriage and a son and daughter from a third.

In one of the famous television talk shows, they stated that the death of their ninety-two-year-old father was a complete surprise to them. Although before that, he had already been in a San Diego, California clinic for 10 days, trying to overcome a long illness. On the night of December 25, 2017, he was gone. The widow and children originally planned to bury him in the United States, however, when they learned that the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation was ready to cover the burial expenses, they changed their minds. Also in the interview, the heirs referred to that in the past 20 years their talented relative has not been engaged in paid work, and therefore there was no money. Almost a month after the death of the composer, they were buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery in Moscow.

Interesting facts were also revealed about the erection of the monument. It turns out that there was no money for it either. Therefore, I had to wait a long time for a sponsor. It turned out to be Alla Borisovna Pugacheva, who allocated the necessary money. By the way, the exact amount is not called, but, according to the assumptions of the heirs, it is about twenty million rubles. Indeed, the memories of the composer among his heirs and the children brought up on his songs are completely different. Therefore, for so long they could not come to a consensus about the appearance of the commemorative composition. And to put up a simple, even temporary, monument was somehow “not comme il faut”.

Recall that at one time Shainsky called himself a rich man and boasted of copyrights to 500 works, three apartments and a capital garage in Moscow, bank accounts and a luxurious two-story mansion in the United States on the ocean. According to relatives, most of the money went to the fight against cancer. In his will, the composer left everything to his third wife, with whom he lived for 30 years. However, the will was promptly challenged by the eldest son Joseph, whom his rich father had provided with real estate at one time. So now the "poor" relatives are waiting for the installation of the monument at someone else's expense.

Mikhail Volontir

Mihai Volontir has not been with us for five years, and one can only look at his grave with bewilderment. Although it is located in the center of Chisinau at the Armenian cemetery, however, it is not a monument or at least a memorial plate, but an ordinary wooden cross. A modest tablet only indicates the name and years of life, so it is almost impossible to guess that People's Artist of the USSR, the famous Budulai, is buried here.

The popular actor starred in almost three dozen films, and worked in his seventh decade. However, diabetes and later bladder cancer did not allow him to play properly in his native theater in Balti. A modest pension had to be spent on medicine. He sold the dacha, but this money was not enough either. People helped him as best they could - some sent 100 rubles for the operation, and some even less. The national hero of Moldova died at the age of 82. The whole country mourned for three days for everyone's favorite, a talented actor.

However, now the grave still stands without a monument. And if they say about his wife that she has become a recluse and lives in another city, then the daughter of a popular artist Stella serves as consul at the Moldovan Embassy in Spain. However, according to friends, the family believes that officials of the Ministry of Culture should be engaged in the installation of the monument.

Evgeny Osin

To the songs of the star of the 90s, not only the whole country danced, but also the president himself. He was loved both then and now. Recall that his friend Andrei Razin was involved in organizing the funeral, he also bought a plot in the cemetery. However, the musician's relatives themselves forgot about the grave of Yevgeny Osin. Two years ago, some vandals lit a fire on the grave, and now there is only a lopsided cross on it. Peeling paint and an adhesive tape of the singer's photograph complete this sad picture.

Now only a longtime admirer and common-law wife of the artist Elena Skornyakova comes to visit the grave. She has long wanted to put things in order there, but the singer's wife Natalya Cheremisinova and daughter Agniya do not allow this. The singer's inheritance was shared by his sister Albina, his nephew and his own daughter. Relatives inherited two Moscow apartments, and Agnia inherited a 3-room apartment in the center, all motorcycles and copyrights.

The girl is already 19 years old. She is a student of the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, writes songs, travels. I recently got married. Perhaps she is busy with more serious chores than a memorial for her father. Her mother, the wife of Yevgeny Osin, does not get tired of repeating to annoying journalists that they remember this debt and one day they will establish it. Only when? The question remains open.
