On Instagram, Jasmine, a singer who leads a public life and has connections to prominent figures, shared a message of support after the loss of Diana Gurtskaya’s husband, Pyotr Kucherenko. The tragic news came as the family faced a difficult moment during a period that had already brought personal hardship. Jasmine conveyed heartfelt sympathy, acknowledging that grief had touched her own circle as well and emphasizing the shared sense of loss that can unite friends in trying times.
“My dear friend Dianochka, my heart is breaking with grief. Today you and your son Kostya lost your beloved husband and father Peter. I am with you with all my heart and soul. As no one understands, I too recently experienced the loss of people close to me. My family shares your pain. We pray for you. Strength to you and your son,” Jasmine wrote.
In her message, Jasmine also extended her condolences to Anita Tsoi and TV presenter Andrei Malakhov, underscoring the communal nature of mourning that often accompanies the death of a public figure or a private individual connected to the entertainment world.
Earlier in life, Jasmine faced personal tragedy of her own. In Dagestan, her grandparents passed away after contracting a serious illness, a loss that marked a difficult chapter in the artist’s family history. The passing of her father, the choreographer Lev Manakhimov, was felt deeply as well. He received medical care first in Derbent, then in Moscow, but despite the efforts of the medical team, the outcome was not favorable. The events left a lasting mark on the family and the larger circle of friends and colleagues who knew them well.
Meanwhile, the circumstances surrounding Pyotr Kucherenko’s illness revealed how fragile life can be. Diana Gurtskaya’s husband fell ill while a Russian delegation was returning from a business trip to Cuba. The aircraft landed at Mineralnye Vody, where doctors endeavored to stabilize him, but his condition worsened, and the medical team ultimately could not save him. The news cast a shadow over those who had traveled together and those who followed the story from afar, leaving many to grapple with sorrow and questions about what happened.
