Singer Yulian revealed that he assisted Alexandra Pakhmutova by supporting Tatyana, a woman who began to stand by the composer and poet Alexander Dobronravov after the accident in 2000. The singer’s remarks were reported by mk.ru, and they shed light on a quiet but steadfast presence during a difficult period for the family.
According to Yulian, after the accident a guiding force emerged in their lives, described as a good fairy and an absolute angel. He emphasized that it was Tanya who saved them in those trying days. She stayed by their side, spent long nights with them in the hospital, and made the hospital room feel less lonely. He recalled how, from that moment forward, Tanya has protected and helped them for more than twenty years, a steady beacon amid ongoing challenges and changes.
The artist notes that Tanya is a familiar, well-known figure in Yaroslavl because of her charitable work and her dedication to helping the less fortunate. At the same time, Yulian stressed that Tanya is a private person, someone who operates largely outside the public eye and is known only to Alexandra Pakhmutova’s inner circle. This distinction between public recognition and private involvement underscores Tanya’s role as a trusted supporter rather than a public figure.
Yulian also shared that Tanya remains close to Alexandra Nikolaevna today, continuing to travel to Moscow with multiple bags and bringing everything that is needed. His description paints a picture of a practical, dependable ally who ensures daily life runs smoothly and that support is readily available whenever it is required.
In September 2023, Alexandra Pakhmutova’s husband, the songwriter Nikolai Dobronravov, passed away after sharing seventy years together. Their long marriage spanned 67 years in partnership and collaboration, a testament to a shared creative life that influenced many generations of readers and listeners. The loss marked a significant moment for those who knew the family well, prompting reflections on the steadfast presence Tanya had provided across decades of personal and professional upheavals.
Earlier, Zakhar Prilepin offered his own perspective on public sentiment around the Shaman matter, providing context for how different figures are discussed and perceived in cultural conversations. This broader reflection sits alongside Yulian’s account, contributing to a fuller picture of the relationships and loyalties that have quietly shaped the lives of Alexandra Pakhmutova and her closest circle over the years.
