A public apology from singer Lika Star addressed Svetlana Bondarchuk regarding a romantic involvement with the ex-husband of the well known TV presenter and director Fyodor Bondarchuk. The statement appeared on a video platform.
Star said she carried full responsibility for the situation and reflected on a past full of errors. She expressed sadness and offered sincere apologies to Svetlana. The singer argued that media coverage had inflated the tale of the relationship and that Fyodor Bondarchuk, while involved, bore a portion of the public backlash that unfolded around the events.
Even though the director was part of the storyline, he reportedly believed that the public vitriol should not rest solely on his shoulders. Star emphasized that she felt remorse for the harm caused to Bondarchuk through the ensuing controversy. She recalled an insinuation from the time, attributed to Bondarchuk, about monitoring the husband and guarding belongings in the household. The recollection underscored the tense atmosphere surrounding the marriage at that period.
Svetlana Rudskaya Bondarchuk had a long marriage with Fyodor Bondarchuk lasting twenty five years before their 2016 divorce. The couple welcomed two children: Sergei, now thirty one, and Varvara, twenty four.
Rudskaya has since remarried, tying the knot with producer Sergei Kharchenko, and announcing a family expansion on August 15, 2023. Fyodor Bondarchuk later wed actress Paulina Andreeva for a second time; their ceremony occurred on September 17, 2019, and the couple welcomed a son named Ivan in 2021.
In a separate note, rapper Morgenstern, who faced designation as a foreign agent in Russia, indicated that his initial stance on marriage to Zinatullina was uncertain.
