This year, there are two anniversary of the "singer of criminal romance" chanson Mikhail Krug (He is Mikhail Vladimirovich Vorobev). 55 years old for his birth and 15 years of CO for death.

Circle is one of the most successful and mythologized artists of our time. Every year the number of people around him and his death legends only grows, closing its real, talented and extraordinary person from us.

Myth first. The circle knew the prison life well

The circle album circulation reached millions. His songs are devoted to prison-camp romance, describe a complicated state of mind and a difficult life situation "Sidellets".

By the way. Genre "Russian chanson" he is "Bloom Song" - it is considered even more popular than Pops in Russia. From now healthy successful artists, Mikhail Shufutinsky, Alexander Novikov, Vika Tsyganova, Irina Krug (Mikhail's last wife).

At the same time, neither chanson himself nor the members of his family or friends were sitting. The circle diligently and extremely gently translated his songs to the "Fenius" with the help of a prison vocabulary dictionary published in 1924 for the NKVD staff. The singer accidentally bought a book on the flea market and did not part with her. Moreover, the majority of listeners chanson also did not have imprisoned past and their ideas about this part of life were on the songs of the circle. Therefore, each album of the artist carefully accompanied by explanations to the texts.

The secret of the popularity of the singer and the fact that he knew how to "get to the audience" so exactly: Mikhail Circle is one of the rarest cases when a person can be called a nugget and do not shove the shower.

The singer had no musical education. In childhood, the circle was a hooligan and a two-way. He did not want to learn in a secondary school and threw classes with an accordion in the musical. But he himself learned to play the guitar, knew the whole repertoire Vysotskyand Rosenbauma. Songs began to write even at school (of course, devoted to their first love). To the army, the young man was cooled, the service was held in excellent. And for the conquering colleagues, the skill of singing enjoyed the overall favor.

After the army, she was going to marry and enter the institute. But - accidentally saw an announcement of the contest of the author's song. I took part, took the first place and decided to record my first album (for my own money, "Samizdat"). The circulation went instantly. Then two more "samizdat" albums were recorded as much as successful. And then a professional career began - producers, recording studios and endless touring tours in Russia, Germany, USA. He spoke Mikhail Circle and in prisons. But not always before the "sidelles", more often it was employees. And with the "contingent" in close contact did not enter.

Myth second. The circle was very closely communicated with criminal authorities and even was a custodian of a community of one of the OHG

Despite the fact that in the removed several years ago the film "Legends about the Circle" Hero is friends with the thieves in law and goes with them to the bath, reliably the investigative authorities established - the real Mikhail Circle was not involved in the thieves of the world (and in a bath with his representatives did not go).

Indeed, one of the hits of the circle - the song "Vladimir Central" - is dedicated to the former Warmer in the law and "Sidelts" of the famous prison Sasha Northwho gave the singer massive ring. True, the fact that Chance had extensive dating, including among the "authorities". Exactly all stars have exactly the same "not simple" dating, regardless of the genre. In addition, Tver in the 90s was a highly criminalized region. Therefore, it was harder to know "authorities" than to know them.

And Mikhail Circle was an honest, decent, noble man who really respected everything. There is a case when on touring the circle accidentally discovered that the organizers of the tour of his less well-known colleagues provide sufficiently poor nutrition. And the singer fed the musicians at his own expense. In his own group, there was a strictest "dry law", which was always acted, even on numerous banquets and corporate parties, where the owners desperately tried to drink well-known artists.

Myth Third. The house of the circle could not be robbed, because the singer was under the unlawful patronage of the crime

Mikhail Circle was killed while trying to rob the house. Thieves, climbing in the dwelling, accidentally faced his mother-in-law. At that time, the artist married the second time, he had just born her son, and mother-in-law helped with her grandson. The woman shouted, the owner of the house ran out and received two bullets in the chest. Died in the hospital.

Immediately after the murder, numerous versions began to appear, which were based only on one: a popular artist who came to criminal romance simply could not become a random victim of a random robbery.

Fans built the most fabulous versions and willingly believed in them. For example, in the fact that the murder organized a young wife, who had just gave birth to the singer of his son. Or in the fact that the circle ordered the Blue Mafia - the artist was known for his irreconcilable position in relation to homosexual relations. At the same time, the "trump" argument of all these and similar versions served the fact that allegedly the house Mikhail Circle was under the unknown care of "authorities" and just so nobody would get there.

Of course, Mikhail Croge's house knew everything. And, of course, no one would use it for him. But the fact of the "guardianship" refute the relatives of the singer, and the investigating authorities.

As a consequence established, the "security officers" drug addicts were taken to the house of the circle, which did not obey anyone. Presumably they learned from the media that the singer received 400 thousand dollars for a new album (this is not true) and therefore decided to rob the cottage. At the same time, the bandits were calculated that the owner would not be at home. After the murder caused a colossal resonance, they were frightened, and two participants directly guilty to the death of the singer, they themselves were killed. The rest of the raiders investigate a few years later calculated.

Myth fourth. For the circle avenged "Brothers"

Three months after the murder, Mikhail Tver shocked a new loud crime. In front of its home 27 bullets were shot by criminal authority Ibrahim Azizov Nick Arcasha. He was "looking" in Tver and directly controlled the retail drug trafficking. It was also known that one of the "cleaned" azizov gang "cleaned". However, investigators quickly refuted this assumption. Even if the Arkashi people got into the house of the circle - they would punish performers, but not Azizov. From the point of view of criminal values, the value of the "top manager" Azizova was incomparably higher than the "Troubadura" of the circle. Arkashi murder was associated with drug trafficking and his "professional" activities. But there was no revenge for the circle.

Myth fifth. The circle left behind millions, because of which the scandaling of the widow and mother

It also does not correspond to reality. Mikhail Krolh's main heritage is his work. Irina's wife, with the support of her husband and producer, Vicky Tsyganova first began to publish and piercing the incorrect songs of the circle. The audience loved Irina Krug, she became a sought-after singer in the genre of Chanson. Now the woman releases new albums. Mikhail Krug's mother and sister opened the chanson museum in Tver, spend excursions to commemorate the city. Relatives are perfectly communicated with each other and with great respect they keep the memory of Mikhail Circle.

One of the most popular bards in the style of Russian chanson, the singer and the author of the famous song "Vladimir Central", Mikhail Krug is known to most Russians. For many he was a cumome and a favorite performer, toured with success in the country, released several magnetic albums and the collections of their songs, took off several clips. The circle had not once to cooperate in the cinema: he starred in the role of Leonid Petrovich in the criminal drama "April", was a composer of the film and participated in the shooting of the series "My True". The cause of Mikhail Krug's death was murder.

He was born in 1962 in Kalinin and together with a secondary school, visited the musical, in the Bayan class. Mikhail was a boyfriend boy, he studied reluctantly, often ran from lessons and preferred a game of hockey. After graduating from school, he served in the army and worked for a driver for 10 years. "Having heard" to the head of the autocolone, the circle was in 1987 aimed at studying in the Polytechnic Institute. But this work became boring for him and he sat down again behind the wheel, leaving his studies.

However, when admitted to Polytech, Mikhail participated in the competition of the author's song and took the first place with his song "about Afghanistan": his long-standing in love with Vysotsky and Bardovaya song said. The famous Bard of Evgeny Kleachkin who is present at the competition advised Mikhail to work in this direction further and he believed. It was then that the familiar last name Vorobyov was replaced by a pseudonym circle. Already in 1989, Mikhail Circle recorded his first album "Tver Streets" at the studio in Tver.

The second album of the circle - "Katya" and one more, nameless, and did not come out officially: they were stolen and distributed illegally. The first official album of Mikhail Circle "Zhigan Lemon" came out in 1994. He is considered decisive in the formation of a new famous Russian bard. In addition to the songs of criminal topics, there were lyrical and comic works in it. This album later reprinted several times. In 1995, the singer became the hero of the documentary film "Bard Mikhail Circle" and took off his first video "It was yesterday."

Becoming, Mikhail performed a lot, went to tour abroad and enjoyed special love of fans, often with a criminal past. On the night of July 1, 2002, the house of a circle in the village of Mamulino under the Tver, an attack was committed. In addition to singer, there were another 5 people: a wife, a mother-in-law and three children. Two unknowns opened fire from pistols and the wounded circle died in the morning in the hospital, on the operating table. The remaining family members were seriously affected. Versions of this murder had a lot.

In 2012, the criminal sources received a message that Mikhail's killer was found dead and they turned out to be a gangster Dmitry Chelovov. He identified the wife of the singer, and his guilt confirmed Killer Gang "Tver Wolves" Alexander Osipov. About how and why Mikhail Circle died, wrote in the press: the robbers did not expect to meet him in the house and shot a 40-year-old bard, whom their criminal boss wanted to pay "tribute" from concerts. The second killer of the circle has not yet been found.

Mikhail Circle, the famous chanson and the author of the songs, was killed on July 1, 2002 in his house in Tver. Together with him there at this moment were another five people: a spouse, mother-in-law, daughter and two sons, one of whom was barely fulfilled a month. Before the tragic events, the circle rested in one of the Tver entertainment establishments. Home came back shortly before the attack.

Robbery

One of the versions, for what reason Mikhail Vladimirovich could kill, is a banal robbery. This version is official. The circle shortly before his death finished the album "Confession". Just the other day, he expected to get a major fee for this work. Probably, someone was known about this, and this "someone" decided to take advantage of the situation.

He brought bandits to Mikhail Vladimirovich's house, but did not guessed exactly with the most successful robbery time. Thieves were to rob the dwelling of the circle, when it was not at home. But the famous chanson returned before the expected time and was right in the center of events.

Murder occurred on the night of June 30, approximately 23:00. The first hurt his mother-in-law, who was at that time closest to the doors. Then the spouse of Irina was injured. The circle ran out on the cries of women and the sounds of firing. He received 2 bullets, from which he died already in the morning in the Tver Hospital.

The version of the robbery is supported by not only the official authorities, but also people who respected Mikhail Vladimirovich and who considered that in criminal circles could not treat him. In their opinion, only the fatal coincidence was the cause of the death of a person who wrote the song "Vladimir Central".

Custom murder

Those who knew a little more about Michael Circle and his contacts with the criminality of Tver are adhered to another opinion. The confirmation of the fact that the killing of the circle was just a discharge of customs, one is evidenced by one eloquent fact. Circle Irina's wife identified in the future one of the attackers that night. They turned out to be someone A. Ageev, a member of the criminal Tver group "Tver Wolves".

Members of this gang were widely known in Tver as performers of registered killings. It was their profile. The fact that under the guise of robbery shot a circle in his own home, a person who produced by registered killings speaks many. Despite suspicion, it was not possible to learn the motives and details of the crime in 2002 (or someone was not profitable).

Details 10 years after the crime

After a decade, some details of this case began to emerge. Gave testimony one of the criminals convicted on a life sentence. He said for the first time directly about what many were suspected of even in 2002: Mikhail Circle was destroyed by order.

Some details of the newly opened in September 2012 became known to the press. It turned out that in the spring of 2003, "disassembly" occurred between members of the gangster group. Someone A. Osipov, a killer on the nickname "Volkov", shot in the wilderness of another bandit, D. Veselova named "Cheerful".

Osipov received a compromising from the future victim to a certain major authority, which was on the way from another gang. But Killer had another reason to shoot Veselov. He wanted to avenge the circle killed in 2002. It turned out that merries knew the "customer". They were the criminal authority of Kostenko.

Did not want to pay

At the moment of the heyday of its popularity, the circle received very good fees. Kostenko demanded that the singer pays him "share" from each concert. Mikhail Vladimirovich refused to pay tribute. For this Kostenko and brought thieves killers to his house. The goal was not robbery, but intimidation of the singer so that he became more agreed. Racket is the reason for many murders in the 90s - put the cross and in the life of Mikhail Vladimirovich Croge.

Chance suffered only because it turned out to be at home not at that time. Killers were forced to shoot him. Soon, the killer himself turned out to be in the grave. His bones found only 10 years later on the press of one "life line" from the gang "Tver Wolves". In the criminal environment, Mikhail Croge was respected, therefore, he was avenged for his murder, without waiting for the proceedings from the authorities. So in this environment is instituted.

Mikhail Krug. - The famous Russian singer, famous for his voice and the ability to give music to the listener. His songs knew all: adults and children. For hearing the circle was each. It was worth only in some crowded place to pronounce a line from the song, so immediately followed. Every year he became more popular: constant tour and concerts simply left free time. But his life is suddenly interrupted - he was killed. But who needs it and for what? Let's figure it out.

Little biography

Real surname Circle - Vorobiev. Born in the city of Kalinin in April 1962. Father has a future celebrity with an engineer, and the mother is an accountant. In addition to Mikhail in the family there was another child - Olga's daughter. Most of the childhood held a family in the proletarian district, which after a while became the main hero of the song " Morozovsky town" Learn the young Misha did not really like it, as we talked to his assessments at school, which rarely turned over the top three.

In early childhood, the Circle liked Vysotsky, who clinged him with his heartbreaking, as he was expressed, songs. In eleven years old Misha Laste the guitar. Of course, the first song was devoted to the first love - a classmate. Having finished school, Vorobiev went to the army, after which he tried to repel the style of Vladimir Vysotsky in his songs.

Sudden murder

In early July 2002, Mikhail, together with his family (with his wife, three children and the mother-in-law) was in his three-story house. Suddenly, two people were treated in the window, they saw the mother-in-law and caused her grave injuries. The wife and Mikhail himself came to the cry. Wife managed to hide, and the circle was wounded, after which he lost consciousness. The violators disappeared. When Mikhail came to himself, he could get to the neighborhood, where he was his wife. They took him to the hospital. But, unfortunately, the doctors were powerless, and in the morning of July. Mikhail Krug. died. The question "Why Mikhail Circle was killed" often covered in the media who tried (or did the view) to understand the real details of the murder. But, as they say, each has its own truth, therefore there are several versions. The wife itself told that Michael It was not necessary to anyone and always paid off with debts. Neighbors also said that the circle was a decent citizen. Or is it all wrong?

Version First - Robbery

One and Russian TV channels conducted an investigation, during which it turned out that the cause of the murder was a banal robbery. This version is considered official. She is valid because literally a few days before the death of Mikhail Circle finished work on a new album, which was to go into light soon. Consequently, the fee for such work relies decent. Apparently, it attracted killers into a three-storey mansion. Most likely, the killer was close CircleSo I knew about the approaching fee, which forced him to go to such a bloody action.

This "someone" hired bandits so that they simply rob the dwelling without applying force. But everything went not at all according to plan. By agreement, the robbery should have happened at that moment when Mikhail Circle together with his family leaving home. Nobody expected for the victims. It happened so that the family Sparrow Previously, the deadline returned.

How thieves could not notice that someone is in the house - it is not clear. After all, during the murder (at eleven o'clock in the evening), it was dark on the street that in any case would cause the owners to include light. As a result, two bullets were found in the circle body, which became fatal.

The words that the robbery was the main reason for the murder, they support not only the media that many criminal authorities who said that they had no complaints about the singer and belong to him with soul and understanding. They believe that Mikhail Circle turned out to be a victim of an unfavorable coincidence.

Chance ordered!

Some people and close relatives of the circle believe that the murder was custom. This conclusion allows you to come the fact that Mikhail had close ties with the criminal authorities Tver. There is one point that can most likely confirm the fact that the famous musician simply ordered.

Friends of Mikhail often came to the house to the family of Vorobyev, whom Irina's wife always met with joy. She did not even know that these were no friends, but the "residents" of the criminal world. Shortly after her husband died, she was able to recognize one of the people who had in their house at night. They had a man on families AgeevWho, oddly enough, was a member of an organized criminal group, blossoming his hands in Tver, called "Tver Wolves". The bad glory about such a gang went through the whole city, as people knew that custom murders were the main income of members of the criminal union. Much says that the members of this gang shot in Mikhail Circle. But, unfortunately, now we will not be able to find out. Most likely, the details are simply hidden due to the fact that "someone" is unprofitable.

Shocking details decades later

Who killed Mikhail Krug and for which only members of criminal groups knew. One of such galezhekov, which was condemned for a life sentence, told the press that there was no robbery, since the circle simply ordered. It turns out that the next year after the death of the famous chanson, members of an organized criminal group arranged a "disassembly" among themselves. The killer nicknamed "Volkov" shot in the forest of the gangster "Merry". The first one was able to get a second compromising on one known in the criminal world of a person who switched the road to a gang. But the killer pursued another goal - revenge for Mikhail Croge. It turns out that he ordered someone by the name Kostenko, who, oddly enough, knew cheerful.
