In a recent interview, Dmitry Vorobyov, the son of Mikhail Krug, explained that the renowned artist had decided to part with a portion of his home. Vorobyov inherited half of Krug’s estate after the singer’s passing, while Krug’s sister, Olga Medvedeva, held the other half. The sale, described by Vorobyov as a private matter, involved his share of the house being auctioned for 30 million rubles. The intended buyer was free to use any room on the property, as the rooms themselves were not physically divided among heirs.
Vorobyov indicated that his decision to sell arose from ongoing disagreements with his aunt. He described Medvedeva as wanting to control the property to pursue business opportunities there, and alleged that she intended to rent the mansion for day tours and branding activities tied to the site.
“I’m not comfortable with that arrangement,” Vorobyov said. “She offered to buy the house at a very low price with the line, ‘Let’s go, you misunderstood this house.’ I am the only mistress here—this property should stay under my guidance.”
Recalling the tragic event, on July 1, 2002, Mikhail Krug was shot inside his own mansion. At the time, his wife, his mother-in-law, and his children were present at the residence. Krug, aged 40, was killed by Dmitry Veselov, a member of the Tver-based criminal circle known as the Wolves, who initially acted with accomplices Alexander Ageev with the intent of robbing the artist. The case remains a notable chapter in the darker side of Krug’s legacy and Russian music history. [Citation: kp.ru]
Separately, contemporary commentators have noted the shifting attitudes toward real estate investments among public figures. For instance, humorist Irina Myagkova recently explained that high French real estate prices influenced her decision not to purchase an apartment overseas. This remark underscores how market conditions can shape opportunities and choices for public personalities, even when their primary fame lies in music or entertainment. [Citation: various interviews]
