It is very painful when the life of a person is cut short, still full of strength, hopes and plans. It is even more difficult to accept the departure of a talented person who could give his creativity to people for many years. Many Russian actors left this world under an inexplicable coincidence. The mysteries of the death of some domestic celebrities have remained unsolved, and the official versions do not give answers to many questions.

Vasily Shukshin

The day before his own death, Vasily Shukshin painted the funeral with red makeup on a pack of cigarettes, for which he received a reprimand from his friend Georgy Burkov, who took this pack. Vasily Makarovich died during the filming of the film "They Fought for the Motherland" on the motor ship "Danube", where all the artists lived. The official version called heart failure the cause of Shukshin's death, but Georgy Burkov was sure that the famous and very inconvenient writer was helped to leave.

When he was found dead, everything in the cabin was turned upside down, while Shukshin was reputed to be a great neat, and he certainly would not have scattered his own manuscripts on the floor. Burkov claimed that there was a smell of cinnamon in the cabin and associated this smell with Shukshin's poisoning with heart attack gas. Official sources do not confirm the fact of the violent death.

Zoya Fedorova

The actress was shot dead in her own apartment, and her murder remained unsolved. Remarkable is the fact that on the eve of her death she was in the OVIR and asked permission to travel to America, where her daughter and grandson lived permanently.

Before that, she twice flew to meet with her relatives, but after the last trip, daughter Victoria published her book in which she talked about the repressions of Stalin's times, about the arrest and 8-year stay in the camps of her mother, accused of espionage for her connection with an American citizen Jackson Tate. It was after the publication of the book that Zoya Fedorova was not given permission to leave.

Igor Talkov

The murder of the singer took place on October 6, 1991, with a fairly large crowd of people, but the reason for this was so miserable that it is simply impossible to believe it. The murder was due to the order of performances of two performers: Talkov and Aziza. But eyewitnesses of the event claim that the singer’s administrator Shlyafman seemed to be deliberately winding up the conflict, not letting it fade away, and in fact provoked Aziza's bodyguard Igor Malakhov.

There were also unanswered questions about why he managed to leave the crime scene very quickly, to get rid of the pistol. During the investigation, it was established that Malakhov could not shoot Talkov, and the shot was made by Shlyafman himself, who by that time had already left the country and was in Germany. However, the murder case of the singer has not yet been solved.

Mikhail Krug

Mikhail Krug was killed on the night of June 30 to July 1, 2002. Two unknown persons entered the house of the famous artist, where he lived with his wife, mother-in-law, wife's daughter and newborn son. Mikhail's mother-in-law was wounded, and he himself died in the hospital without regaining consciousness. Death occurred as a result of a gunshot wound.

The crime has not yet been solved, but according to unverified information, the Wolves gang, whose representatives were suspected of organizing the murder, was destroyed by criminal elements in revenge for the death of the Circle.

Murat Nasyrov

He was full of plans and hopes, on March 21, 2007, his marriage registration with Natalya Boyko was to take place. They lived together for a long time, raised two children, but were not officially scheduled. On January 19, he accompanied his wife to the place of her appointment, returned home and closed in his studio. Later he put on a concert costume, raised the sleeping children, took his own portrait and began to rush to the balcony. His mother-in-law did not let him go there, after which the musician called the neighbors at the door, shouted to them about the vision of God and Baglan Sadvakasov, who died in a car accident.

After that, he nevertheless went out onto his own balcony and threw himself down from the fifth floor, hanging the camera around his neck. No traces of drugs or alcohol were found in the blood of the deceased. The reasons that prompted Murat Nasyrov to commit suicide remained unknown.

Yanka Diaghileva

Soviet rock singer, lyricist, the brightest representative of the Siberian underground at the end of the 80s of the last century. On May 9, 1991, she left her summer cottage in the morning, did not return for a long time, but later she was found and returned home. The second time she left at about 19-00, and no one saw her again alive. The information was not officially confirmed, but on May 10, some of the girl's friends received postcards in which Yanka spoke of her love and wished God would keep them from trouble.

On May 17, the performer's body was found in the Inya River. It is still unknown what caused the death, the official version says about drowning as a result of an accident.

Andrei Panin

On March 7, 2013, the actor's body was found in his apartment. At first, it was assumed that he fell, hit his head and died as a result. However, later on, numerous injuries were found on his body, which clearly indicated a severe beating. In 2015, the case was closed for lack of corpus delicti; the circumstances of the death of the actor are still unknown.
