Producer Igor Sandler shared how his new wife Elena reshaped the world around Bari Alibasov, the longtime producer behind the Na-Na group. Elena has become a catalyst in many small, everyday moments that quietly rebuilt a sense of normalcy in a home that had felt weathered by time.
When Elena first stepped into Bari’s life a year and a half to two years ago, the scene at his house was stark. A sense of neglect lingered, rooms showed signs of wear, beds were crumpled, and the atmosphere carried a heaviness that dampened the spirit of those living there. Elena recalls the change vividly—she describes stepping into a space that looked and felt different almost instantly, as if a new light had entered through the window.
Her arrival was compared to sunshine breaking through a dim room. Neatly pressed fabrics, clean surfaces, and a sense of order replaced the previous disarray. Sandler notes bundles of fresh meals and a refrigerator that now held a variety of foods, turning meals into small rituals that brought a sense of care back into daily life.
For Bari Jr., Elena’s presence offered a form of quiet reassurance during difficult days marked by his father’s illness. In the midst of medical concerns, her steady presence provided a counterbalance to worry and helped anchor the family through turbulent times.
Elena Kalinina, Bari Alibasov’s wife and assistant, spoke publicly on February 26 about the producer’s hospitalization due to high blood pressure. She shared that the musician had not welcomed the idea of seeking medical help at first, and that he was reluctantly admitted to receive treatment after being urged by those close to him.
On February 28, Bari Jr. offered his own perspective on the health challenges facing his father. He suggested that a combination of factors, including a high level of activity and a recent coronavirus infection, might have contributed to the decline in his condition. By March 1, Alibasov was discharged from the hospital, marking another turn in a longer journey toward stabilization.
Meanwhile, another high-profile update in the broader entertainment world involved a separate legal matter affecting Kirill Kirillovich’s family finances. The court decision about apartment taxes drew public attention and was discussed in media circles as part of ongoing discussions about how public figures manage their assets during demanding times.
