Agony surged as celestial beings witnessed the termination of their worlds, bereaved by the loss of their cherished ones, they remained resilient, their hands raised high in silent tribute.
In the wake of national interest, the lives of three notable figures - Eugene Grigoriev, Yaroslav Sumishevsky, and Dmitry Shepelev - have taken unexpected turns. Let's delve into what's happened to them after their shared personal tragedies.
Eugene Grigoriev (Zheka)
Blessed with exceptional talent and resilience, Eugene Grigoriev, known as Zheka, continues to captivate audiences with his music. Recently, he earned the "Shanson of the Year" award for the 14th time at 58 years old. His songs resonate both with himself and his fellow artists, often graduating to popular hits.
Back in 2019, Eugene's wife Elizabeth, 37, tragically succumbed to a long illness. In a heart-wrenching turn of events, the musician found solace in work, presenting his 25th anniversary program "25 Years on Stage" to honor their shared memories. Their daughter Masha, 13, is the pair's remaining rock amid these challenging circumstances. With Masha's support, Eugene's mother-in-law helps him navigate his daily life.
"I'm fortunate to have a daughter like Masha. She's mature and responsible," Eugene shared with Komsomolskaya Pravda. "We've leaned on each other during those hard times, and we continue to do so." Facing such overwhelming grief, Eugene acknowledges that he must persevere to maintain a strong bond with his daughter.
Yaroslav Sumishevsky
Triumph over adversity is the tale of Yaroslav Sumishevsky. Four years ago, his second wife, Natalia, passed away in a car accident, leaving Yaroslav, 41, to care for their 8-year-old son Miroslav. His father and stepmother also provide invaluable assistance in raising his child. Spending time outdoors, they enjoy fishing and canning fruits during the summer.
"My father Alexander and his wife Elena have been instrumental in helping me with Miroslav's upbringing," Yaroslav said. "They shower Miroslav with love, care, and guidance. When I return home from tours, he's always waiting for me with open arms."
Despite his loss, Yaroslav found love again with Ksenia. They met at a music festival and now live harmoniously. Ksenia has developed a close bond with Miroslav, and they have even welcomed a new addition to their family – a son named Tikhon.
Life's ups and downs have taught Yaroslav the importance of treasuring loved ones and seizing opportunities for happiness. "Ksenia is a good, beautiful, intelligent, caring, and understanding woman. She wants a family, and I know she's the one for me," Yaroslav affirmed. The loving couple intends to register their official union soon.
Dmitry Shepelev
In 2015, Dmitry Shepelev was left to raise his son Platon, now 12, following the death of his partner, Jeanne Friske. In 2021, Dmitry found love again with designer Ekaterina Tulupova. After six years of living together, they decided to marry and had a son named Tikhon. Together with their three children, Ekaterina, Dmitry, and their family live happily while maintaining a lower public profile. Despite this, Dmitry continues to forge ahead with his work, having recently finished shooting the pilot episodes for the show "Love at First Note."
It seems that these three men have learned to find strength in their resilience and the love of their families to cope with their personal losses, each moving forward with hope and determination. The bonds they share with their loved ones continue to serve as beacons of light in their lives.
Eugene Grigoriev's (Zheka) music career thrives amidst personal tragedy, as he continues to resonate with audiences and remain a beacon of inspiration, especially in his relationships with his daughter Masha and mother-in-law.
Yaroslav Sumishevsky found solace in his family after the loss of his wife Natalia, cherishing the love and support of his father, stepmother, and new partner Ksenia, who together provide a loving environment for their son Miroslav and new addition, Tikhon.
Dmitry Shepelev, meanwhile, has moved on from the loss of his partner Jeanne Friske, finding love again with designer Ekaterina Tulupova, and maintaining a harmonious family life with their three children, all while taking on new entertainment projects like "Love at First Note."
