The producer behind the group Tender May, Andrei Razin, admitted that his own curses toward the artists sparked fear for their safety after a memorial concert for Yuri Shatunov on the Malakhov show. He spoke candidly about his worries, saying he now fears for the well-being of those he had directed his anger toward. He urged a careful review of the facts, noting that Yuri Shatunov had filed a lawsuit against Razin, leaving readers to wonder what would come next. Razin admitted that fear had taken hold inside him and that the warnings he issued to peers and rivals had, in his view, warned of consequences that did not always come to pass. He stated that those warnings had been ignored by some, and that now, in light of the memorial concert, he felt a sense of personal risk. He described a pattern where rivals allegedly faced deteriorating nerves when they did not heed his cautions, though Andrei Shishkin, a former teammate, insisted that media narratives could not intimidate him. He said he did not fear the words spoken by Razin and did not see them as a threat to his own career. (Note: this summary reflects Razin’s public statements and subsequent reactions reported by multiple outlets.)
On October 3, Razin, the Tender May producer, faced online threats directed at the artists scheduled to appear at the Yuri Shatunov memorial event commemorating the artist’s 50th birthday. Razin claimed that the situation amounted to a curse and described the incident as satanic. He suggested that the performers might have chosen to participate in the memorial against their better judgment or out of contractual obligations with their record label, implying that professional contract dynamics could influence their decisions more than personal choice. The online discourse surrounding the memorial raised questions about pressure, loyalty, and artistic responsibility in a high-profile project that bridged generations of fans and musicians. (This context is drawn from publicly reported social media activity and coverage surrounding the event.)
Earlier, Konstantin Ernst commented that certain plans or arrangements related to the old Tender May lineup could endure or persist in their form. The conversation around these developments reflects ongoing tensions within the music industry about legacy, branding, and continuity when original members are involved with new or revived projects. Observers note that such topics often become focal points for fans and analysts seeking clarity about what the future holds for the group and its associated acts. The broader media conversation demonstrates how anniversaries and memorials can become stages for competing narratives, contractual realities, and personal reputations within the music business.
