Chernyshov attends public event after wife’s passing, wearing wedding ring
Figure skater Pyotr Chernyshev stepped into the public eye with a wedding ring, a detail noted by Women.ru. The moment marked his first appearance since the passing of his wife, actress Anastasia Zavorotnyuk. He was seen at a press conference in Sochi that launched the tour for the show Evenings on the Farm. It became clear that the performer is not currently part of the production. After the loss of his spouse, Chernyshev had kept away from the stage for a time, focusing on life off the spotlight.
During the event, he spoke in a way that mixed humility with a sense of duty. He described joining the event as an unplanned contribution, stepping in as an auxiliary force because Tatyana Alexandrovna fell ill and needed help to get the show moving. He recalled the place with a mix of nostalgia and resolve, saying Sochi will always be associated with the 2014 moment when many prayed for their success. The remarks reflected a blend of personal loss and professional responsibility, delivered to an audience that was mostly there to honor the memory of a beloved industry figure and to support the new phase of the artistic project.
Observers noted Chernyshev’s appearance that day, dressed in black and wearing a wedding ring on his finger. The subtle symbol reminded many of the enduring bond he shared with Zavorotnyuk, even as life moved forward in the wake of her illness and passing. Anastasia Zavorotnyuk passed away on May 29, 2024, after a long battle with glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer. In the years leading to her death, she spent much of her time in the Moscow region, with her husband by her side providing care and support. The public has watched this period of quiet resilience and personal challenge as her health fluctuated and the medical situation deteriorated sharply in the two weeks before the end. The family reflected a shared commitment to keeping her memory alive through the work she did and the lives she touched, even as the show went on and plans for future projects continued to unfold in her absence.
Earlier reports noted that their daughter spoke about the impact of the loss, describing the weight of grief and how it affected family life. The conversations around Zavorotnyuk’s illness and the subsequent mourning have continued to shape how fans recall her career and the warmth she brought to her roles, both on screen and in the hearts of those who followed her journey. The public narrative has been careful to honor her memory while acknowledging the personal strength required to navigate such a difficult period for the family and those who supported them along the way.
