May your memory be blessed, angel,” these are the words left by Zhanna’s fans.

On July 11, the first concert in memory of the famous singer took place at the Alexey Kozlov club as part of the charity project “Zhanna Friske - I’m near!” On Thursday, with the support of the event organizer Alexey Kholoptsev, a press conference was held at the Igor Sandler Production Center with the participation of the Friske family.

Charity refuses to provide movement reports Money, intended for the treatment of his daughter. Vladimir Friske intends to defend the good name of his family and figure out where the money that the whole country collected for Zhanna Friske went to.

The dog who spent her last days with the singer died tragically. According to Natalya Friske, the Jack Russell Terrier was hit by a car; the details of the accident are unknown. The family is grieving the loss of their pet. Zhanna Friske's second Labrador dog also suffers from health problems. After the death of his mistress, Ulius was diagnosed with cancer. Natalya Friske fights for the dog’s life, takes her to chemotherapy treatments and walks with her.

The TV presenter's open letter sparked rumors about his possible chosen one. In his address to Zhanna Friske, Dmitry Shepelev mentioned a certain woman who helped him overcome deep depression after the singer’s death. As it turned out, no romantic relationships There can be no such thing between Zhanna’s close people. The singer's sister Natalya Friske confirmed this fact. “This is all nonsense. Ksyusha has been married for many years. She has a son and even a grandson,” Natalya told StarHit.

The kids whom the singer helped contacted her in letters. “StarHit” found out how children feel who continue to live thanks to the help of Zhanna Friske. In memory of her, the girls wrote letters where they talked about how she changed their lives.

The photographs published by her close friends, for example, Olga Orlova, Ekaterina Tsvetova, Oksana Stepanova, became valuable to everyone who loved Zhanna. Perhaps only they could know such a Friske. Tender, vulnerable, tired at times, but so dear and close... Now, thanks to the star’s friends, her fans can recognize the real Zhanna Friske. “StarHit” has collected unique archival photos of the departed singer through the eyes of loved ones.

The TV presenter addressed his beloved a year after her death. According to the showman, for a long time he could not come to his senses and realize what really happened. Dmitry Shepelev also stated that for a year there was a woman next to him who tried to save him from despair.

Katya Tsvetova gave an exclusive interview to StarHit. A friend of Zhanna Friske told for the first time how they looked for an apartment together in Miami, learned about the singer’s pregnancy, and how, shortly before the artist’s death, they went to see their spiritual father.

On the eve of the anniversary of the singer's death, her sister gave her first candid interview. The woman told about what happened to Zhanna’s things, what secrets were kept in her mobile phone and what she dreamed about when she was sick. “On the last day of her life, I was not there. On June 13, I found out that I was pregnant. I arrived on June 15 to tell Zhanna about this. But she developed an allergy, so they didn’t let me see her. On the same day, my sister passed away. At the funeral I held on with all my might. But then all these nerves... I lost my child,” Natalya admitted.

Olga Kopylova gave an interview to Andrei Malakhov’s “Tonight” program. The singer’s mother remembered the brightest moments of Zhanna Friske’s life and talked about how her family was experiencing the most terrible and irreparable loss. “Plato was always nearby, his and Zhanna’s rooms were opposite,” said Olga Vladimirovna. “He talked to his mother, approached her, stroked her hair, touched her fingers. Zhanna did not believe that she would leave. She never talked about death, she knew that she was sick, but she never talked about death. But God ordered it this way.”

Olga Kopylova gave an interview to Andrei Malakhov’s “Tonight” program. Zhanna Friske’s mother told how she survived this terrible year after her daughter left. On the eve of the anniversary of the star’s death, Olga Kopylova showed the artist’s apartment, where she was happy, and also spoke frankly about her relationship with common-law husband daughter Dmitry Shepelev.

The three-year-old boy made amazing progress in sports. Together with his father Dmitry Shepelev, the child tried himself as a gymnast. Many noted Plato's dexterity and fearlessness.

The next court hearing took place in Moscow. The question of communication between Jeanne's relatives and little Plato remains open. The Friske family lawyer intends to defend the rights of his clients. “Thanks to Shepelev’s representatives at least for the fact that they objectively explain their position. Dmitry does not have any supernatural demands, and the court took time to review the documents. Therefore, the meeting is postponed to July 15. "- said the lawyer of the Friske family.

The organizers plan to help orphans. The first event was a concert in memory of the singer, which took place on July 11. The artists performed Zhanna Friske's songs in unexpected arrangements.

The singer’s father wants to know what amounts and when were transferred for her treatment. Vladimir Borisovich Friske wrote an appeal to Rusfond with a request to provide data on cash flows that were transferred to the organization for Zhanna.

Dmitry Shepelev allowed the singer’s relatives to see the boy. According to Natalia Friske, the baby is incredibly similar to his mother. At the meeting, the relatives of the untimely departed artist could not hold back their tears. “It was me and my mother,” Natasha Friske shared with StarHit. “Dad couldn’t do it, he wasn’t feeling well.” Dima chose the place himself, he was accompanied by three security guards, and a family psychologist also observed the meeting. Lord, Plato is a copy of his mother. He immediately recognized my grandmother and me and called me Aunt Tata. I couldn’t hold back my tears, because I hadn’t seen our boy for so long. The psychologist asked me to pull myself together. We talked for about half an hour. They gave Platosha toys. I hope that we will continue to see each other."

The charity appealed the refusal to initiate criminal proceedings. This situation arose due to the fact that a report on more than 20 million rubles collected for the treatment of Zhanna Friske has not yet been provided.

Vladimir Borisovich hopes that through the court he will be able to achieve the right to see his grandson. The conflict between the family of Zhanna Friske and her common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev has been going on for almost a year. The parties cannot reach a solution to the problem peacefully. A court hearing is scheduled to take place in early June, which will determine the order of meetings between the singer’s son and her parents.

The TV presenter admitted that he constantly thinks about Zhanna Friske. Little Plato knows that his mother is always there. Dmitry Shepelev raises his son moderately strictly, dresses him to his liking and develops his intellect. “An interesting coincidence: recently my son and I had dinner at a cafe where Zhanna and I had often visited before. And for dessert, from a variety of options, he chose carrot cake. Delicious, I ask. - Very! - Do you really like? - Yes! So, without knowing it himself, he chose Jeanne’s favorite dessert in this cafe. Of course, I told him about it,” Dmitry shared.

The family of the late singer is outraged by the incorrect information in the press. The star’s parents were not invited to the police to clarify the circumstances in the case of the missing millions of Rusfond. “This is not true, the singer’s family was not at any interrogation. We continue to work with Dmitry Shepelev’s lawyers,” the lawyer said.

During the broadcast of the NTV channel “Zvonok”, Vovan and Lexus tried to bring Dmitry Shepelev and Vladimir Borisovich to the negotiating table. Despite many disagreements, both sides expressed their readiness to meet each other halfway in the interests of little Plato.

The singer's father does not want personal information to be broadcast. Vladimir Borisovich sent a letter to the head of the TV channel. He believes that his rights were violated. He is outraged that the presenters found out family secrets by deception.

The singer’s family, as well as her common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev, as the official guardian of Plato’s son, entered into inheritance rights. However, how much money Zhanna Friske’s relatives will share is still unknown.

Olga Vladimirovna remained silent for a long time. The scandal that erupted over the money collected for Zhanna Friske’s treatment affected her mother’s state of mind. It is difficult for a woman to endure attacks on her family.

The parties are preparing for the trial. The family of the late singer Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev will try to come to a common opinion in an acute conflict that has been going on for several months.

Alexander Dobrovinsky said that the whole truth will be revealed in the near future. For a long time, there was no progress in the case of missing money that the whole country collected for the treatment of a seriously ill singer. Apparently, the situation has changed, and the investigation was able to find out who is actually guilty of the disappearance of a large sum.

A friend of the singer who tragically passed away spoke for the first time about what she thinks about the tense relationship between her family. Olga Orlova would like to reconcile the family of Zhanna and the artist’s common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev.

The singer's sister told why this happened. Natalya Friske congratulated the baby on her Instagram page and admitted that she loves him more life. “Dima took Platosha away,” Zhanna’s sister, Natalya Friske, shared with StarHit. – It seems to be to Belarus. Therefore, it was not possible to congratulate him. We hope that as soon as he returns, he will allow us to meet our beloved boy."

Zhanna Friske's son Platon turned three years old. Natalya wrote warm words about her beloved nephew on her Instagram page. The singer’s sister admitted that she loves the baby more than life itself.

Zhanna Friske's father commented on rumors that the TV presenter does not give him the opportunity to congratulate his grandson. This week little Plato will celebrate his third birthday, and the singer’s family would like to be with him on this day.

Andrei Grozny openly spoke about his affair with the star. He announced that he proposed marriage to Zhanna Friske, but she refused him. The producer was one of the last to learn about the singer’s incurable illness.

32-year-old lawyer Radik Gushchin asked for forgiveness from the singer’s family. The man admitted that he did not want to hurt Zhanna Friske’s family and friends, and therefore considers it his duty to tell how everything really happened. “I never knew Zhanna,” admitted Gushchin.

“StarHit” arranged a meeting between Natalia Friske and a psychic. Mohsen Norouzi predicted that the singer’s relatives would soon see Plato, but the boy would live with his dad, and a girl would be born into their family - a copy of Jeanne.

Olga Orlova’s video “Farewell, my friend” evoked strong emotions among the singer’s fans. The heartfelt lines of the song accompanied by the video sequence with the participation of the departed Zhanna Friske did not leave anyone indifferent.

The first court hearing took place in Moscow, during which Zhanna Friske’s family is trying to reach an agreement with Dmitry Shepelev about communicating with Plato. Only representatives of both sides and a man who calls himself the possible father of the singer’s son are present at the trial. StarHit published the first photos from the courtroom.

Olga Orlova spoke about how Zhanna Friske’s little son Platon is growing up on the air of the “Tonight” program with Andrei Malakhov. “Plato is a wonderful, active, cheerful, smart kid,” the singer shared. - He’s already talking with all his might. I love my godson very much, I see him as often as possible. I will try to be a good godmother for him.”

The singer noted that it was her duty to tell the world about her beloved friend. Olga Orlova and Zhanna Friske were inseparable for many years. Close person the untimely departed star considered it necessary to record a song for her that would find a response in the hearts of millions of people.

The investigation is finding out where the debt to Rusfond went. The star's relatives only partially reported on the amount of money missing from Zhanna Friske's account. “The answer came that the singer’s father, Vladimir Borisovich, did not make any transfers or withdrawals from Zhanna Friske’s account, where Rusfond sent donations,” explained a source from the Investigative Committee.

Vladimir Friske is outraged that their family was accused of theft. Relatives of Zhanna Friske said that they are ready to account for every ruble spent, and they have saved all payment documents.

Having never received a report on the money that disappeared from Zhanna’s account from either the Friske family or Dmitry Shepelev, Charitable organization Rusfond appealed to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation with a request to initiate a criminal case regarding the theft of funds. “We only had a card with money from RusFond for a month and a half, and we will account for all expenses incurred during this time,” Vladimir Friske told StarHit. “We didn’t take anything extra.”

Today, the first meeting took place in the Khamovnichesky Court of Moscow, at which the procedure for communication between Zhanna Friske’s parents and their grandson was discussed. The whole country followed the development of this story and, perhaps, every second person discussed the details of the family drama.

Initially, nurse Christina Rose, who became a writer, planned to release a book about the life of Zhanna Friske called “Cardiogram of Life” in the fall, as StarHit already wrote. However, some difficulties arose: at the printing house the writer was asked to correct the manuscript. As a result, the first biography of Zhanna Friske was published only in December.

The conflict between Jeanne's dad and her common-law husband has been going on for six months, since the singer's death. They cannot share custody of the artist’s two-year-old son Plato. But it seems that both are already tired of the fight. Vladimir Borisovich admitted to StarHit that for the sake of his grandson he wants to make peace with Dmitry.

On the eve of the holiday, Natalya Friske shared her memories of what the last New Year celebration was like with her sister. A relative of Zhanna Friske told what the artist dreamed of and what wish she made during the chimes.

Before Zhanna Friske’s relatives had time to move away from the scandal with Dmitry Shepelev, a new one broke out. This time, a certain Radik Gushchin declared that he was the real father of two-year-old Plato. According to 32-year-old lawyer Gushchin, three years ago he had an affair with Zhanna, albeit a short one - from June to August 2012. And then the singer told him that she was expecting a child. However, StarHit managed to find out that the Friske family does not even know Radik.

The charity organization that collected money for the treatment of Zhanna Friske has been waiting for several months for a report from the singer’s relatives. As written on the official website, on December 14, Rusfond handed over to the notary who is handling the star’s case a statement of claims to the inherited property.

Zhanna Friske passed away in June of this year. The artist died in Moscow after a long battle with brain cancer. “Yesterday in the Yelokhovsky Cathedral a memorial service was held for the deceased servant of God Zhanna (baptized Anna). Hundreds of people came to honor the memory of the singer. They all lit candles to the Kazan Icon mother of god, they wrote notes,” the temple minister, Father Alexander, told StarHit.

Six months ago, after a long battle with brain cancer, the singer left, but her work continues to live on. In addition, numerous fans of the artist re-read the interview with Zhanna and discover new facets of her personality and soul, which has always been open and kind.

Attempts to share custody only son The artists finally quarreled between Zhanna’s relatives and her common-law husband and father of two-year-old Platon, Dmitry Shepelev. The inheritance also became a stumbling block, because before her death the star never wrote a will.


Today, the family counted down exactly six months from the day their Zhanna passed away. All these months, literally every day, fans did not stop remembering their idol with warm words. Some dedicated poems dead star, others created collages from photographs of Friske and her son Plato, so that at least in the photographs the two-year-old child could be close to his mother. StarHit has collected some of the most touching family photos.

Artist Nikasa Safronov will put the painting up for auction, and the funds raised will be transferred to 11-year-old Natasha Dolmatova from Perm. She suffers from brain cancer, an ailment that the singer struggled with.


The family of the untimely deceased singer appeared in the studio of the “Let Them Talk” program to tell the truth about the real relationship between Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev. The artist's relatives are still trying to get the right to see little Plato, but they are unable to come to an agreement with the child's father.

After her death, the father of Zhanna Friske’s child did not have a good relationship with her family. Now, according to Dmitry, the situation is out of control. In this regard, Shepelev is forced to address the public for the first time to tell his version of what is happening between him and Zhanna’s father. The TV presenter published a video message in which he admits that a recent meeting with Vladimir Borisovich turned out to be a lot of stress for him and little Plato.

Almost six months after the death of Zhanna Friske best friend star Olga Orlova spoke about how she felt. The ex-soloist of the group “Brilliant” admitted that she still cannot believe what happened and that most of all she is worried about the fate of the son of her untimely deceased friend. Orlova noted that little Plato became a special godson for her, and she feels incredible responsibility for him. Olga also added that no one can replace a child’s mother, but the singer herself will do everything possible so that Plato always feels happy child and understood that he was loved.

Until now, family and friends cannot come to terms with the irreparable loss. Natalya Friske admitted on social networks that she sees her beloved sister in her dreams every day. The girl also admits that she misses Zhanna very much and cannot remain silent about it.

Zhanna Friske's family plans to erect a monument at the singer's grave. Relatives of the tragically deceased star are in search of a suitable sketch. On social networks they turned to Friske’s fans with a request to voice their ideas. While the artist’s family settled on the option of a monument in full height, where Zhanna would be in a white dress.

Natasha Dolmatova was among the children to whom Rusfond allocated part of the funds collected for the treatment of Zhanna Friske. An 11-year-old girl took a course in Germany and felt better. A month ago she was examined, and doctors discovered that she had metastases. At the moment, the girl needs help from qualified specialists. There is a chance for recovery, but only if it becomes possible to eliminate the metastasis. To do this, Natasha Dolmatova’s family needs to raise 200 thousand euros. The girl's mother appealed to the public asking for help.

Zhanna Friske's close friend Olga Orlova, after the tragedy she experienced, is gradually returning to ordinary life. The singer recorded a song called “Bird” and shot a video for it. The lyrical composition attracted the attention of not only Orlova’s fans, but also Friske, because many felt that the song was dedicated to her. However, Olga Orlova herself clarified that this is not entirely true, and she will dedicate another single to Zhanna, which she will present a little later.

A strange man regularly approaches members of Zhanna Friske’s family with a proposal to freeze the star’s body and rebury it. Jeanne's frightened relatives claim that a man unknown to them appears in their field of vision every time they come to her grave. According to Natalya Friske, the stranger gave her a letter in which he voiced his proposals and threatened with dire consequences if they did not follow his recommendations.

The conflict that has arisen between the family of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev is gaining momentum. This time, the father of the singer’s child contacted the police with a statement that he was receiving threats from Vladimir Borisovich Friske. The TV presenter also provided an audio recording in which the singer’s father’s claims and threats were voiced. Later, the artist’s sister also commented on this ambiguous situation. Natalya Friske stated that Dmitry Shepelev deliberately brought her father to such a state so that he could write down threats against himself, and later use this in court.

An unexpected scandal turned out to be the communication between sister Zhanna Friske and fans on Instagram. Hundreds of people turn to Natalya every day with words of support. Sometimes the singer’s fans ask her family questions that only they could give truthful answers to. This happened this time too, when Natalia Friske’s subscribers asked her on the microblog whether she was seeing little Plato. The star's sister immediately gave a negative answer, explaining that her nephew's father was against her communicating with the boy. The girl also added that her family failed to establish relations with Dmitry Shepelev.

Already this winter, Zhanna Friske’s parents plan to install a marble monument on her grave, which is currently only wooden cross. The artist’s sister addressed the star’s fans on a social network and invited them to participate in creating a sketch of the monument. Many who knew and loved Jeanne responded to this request with great attention and willingly shared their thoughts. Some suggested using the image of the dogs that Friske loved so much in the monument, while others decided that angel wings would look much more appropriate. The artist’s family has not yet made a choice and continues to study proposals from interested people.

Fan of the star Christina Rose has been following the life and work of her beloved singer for many years, and when the whole country was shocked by the news of the death of Zhanna Friske, she was especially inspired by her story. The girl decided to write a book about her idol, which she called “Cardiogram of Life.” The creation of the artist’s fans was appreciated by Friske’s loved ones. The singer’s father admitted that when he read the book dedicated to the memory of his daughter, he cried all night. Already this fall, fans of Zhanna Friske will be able to purchase a book about her and once again remember the brightest moments of her biography.

Almost three months after the tragedy, there were people who wanted to make money from the grief of the Friske family. Messages about the sudden illness of Zhanna Friske’s sister Natalya began to appear on the Internet every now and then. The attackers announced a fundraiser for the girl’s treatment and, without a twinge of conscience, published emotional messages on behalf of Natalya herself. Quite soon, the artist’s sister clarified the situation and warned everyone concerned that they should not believe such reports. Natasha Friske appealed to the administration of the social network VKontakte with a request to block the pages of the “clones”.

Zhanna Friske's sister Natalya published on her VKontakte page photo collages of her nephew, the son of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev, Platon. They show the boy with his mother during a visit petting zoo, with your beloved aunt and uncle. Zhanna looks at her beloved child with eyes full of happiness and love.

On July 8, 2015, Zhanna Friske would have turned 41 years old. Friends and relatives of the untimely departed singer have been publishing her photos on their microblogs since the morning, sharing memories of her and leaving kind words addressed to her. Early in the morning, the artist’s mother Olga Vladimirovna, sister Natalya, friend Olga Orlova and common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev visited her grave.

Close attention of the media is now focused on the son of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev. The fact that after the death of his mother the boy was in Bulgaria became clear soon after the death of Zhanna. Plato is surrounded by care - he is with him now star father, who devotes one hundred percent of his time to the boy. The family is resting in the apartment of Philip Kirkorov, who kindly provided his accommodation to the young father and two-year-old baby.

Zhanna Friske's family just has to pay for her treatment in the USA. The account for 106 thousand dollars has not yet been closed, and the clinic in Miami, where Zhanna took the course, persistently sends financial documents to the address of the Friske family. Zhanna’s father, Vladimir Borisovich, spoke on REN-TV about why this is happening.

Less than a month has passed since the death of Zhanna Friske, and a new scandal related to the personality of the star is already breaking out online. A series of programs dedicated to discussing the circumstances of her death gave rise to a whole wave of discussions, disputes and very unexpected conclusions. Outrage was caused by the harsh position of Zhanna’s father, expressed in the “Live” program. Later, the conflict developed with the participation of Joseph Kobzon and representatives of the popular public page VKontakte.

StarHit learned that Plato now lives in the apartments of Philip Kirkorov in Bulgaria. “Philip had long suggested that Zhanna take the child there to rest. Thank him very much for this! – the singer’s father Vladimir Borisovich shared with StarHit. “Now Platon lives in Kirkorov’s apartment, he is very comfortable there...” Next to the baby is now a nanny and grandmother - Dmitry’s mother Natalya Alexandrovna. “I also lived with him in Bulgaria, but now I’m back in Minsk, working,” Shepelev’s dad Andrey Viktorovich tells StarHit. - The plateau is growing. We have not yet told him that his mother has passed away. And he himself is still small, he doesn’t ask. He likes the sea, he loves to swim and run on the sand. He tinkers with spatulas and buckets, plays with cars, learns to swim. Dima will talk to him himself later. He comes often. Now in Moscow for work, but soon he will return to his son again... Platosha will stay in Bulgaria until the end of the summer. And in September, Dima is thinking about sending him to kindergarten in Moscow, it’s time for him to socialize, communicate with other children, and learn little by little.”

Zhanna Friske's father appeared on another television show to talk about how the family was coping with the tragedy and what was happening between them and Dmitry Shepelev. Vladimir Borisovich admitted that his wife this moment It’s very difficult and she still can’t recover from the grief. According to the man, Olga Vladimirovna leaves the house only to go to her daughter’s grave; she tries to avoid communicating with people. It’s interesting that Vladimir Friske was reluctant to talk about his son-in-law. Having dropped a couple of careless phrases that everything was not all right between them, he refused to explain the essence of the conflict in more detail. Zhanna Friske's father made it clear that he has something to reproach Dmitry Shepelev for, and there are a lot of things that he cannot forgive him.

It became known that, having only stayed briefly in Moscow after the funeral of Zhanna Friske, Dmitry Shepelev flew to his son in Bulgaria. At the reception of the Emerald Beach Resort and Spa, located in the resort town of Ravda, Shepelev was accidentally met by producer Evgeniy Fridlyand, who also arrived on Black Sea coast with a family. “Dima is holding up well! – he said on one of the social networks. - And Plato, my son, is such a good one - a chubby hero.... And he holds his hand. Doesn’t let go even one step...” Fridlyand also said that Shepelev fundamentally does not read the Internet and does not watch TV.

The last three days passed in a tragic tone - we said goodbye to the singer Zhanna Friske, whose death became a real personal tragedy not only for her family and friends, but also for her fans. They say that time heals... But the main thing that remains for those who have become in this world is the memory of the departed. “StarHit” together with you remembers the brightest creative works Zhanna Friske: clips, performances, filming for television, films and videos that are created about it amazing person the most complete and accurate representation. We are confident that everyone who knew and loved Jeanne will remember her exactly as the camera once captured her.

Two years, during which Zhanna Friske struggled with terrible disease, next to her were her family and, above all, her mother Olga Vladimirovna Kopylova. She helped her daughter with little Plato, looked after her when Zhanna was sick, and rejoiced with other close people when the singer felt better after an experimental vaccine. Unlike father Vladimir Borisovich Friske, who commented on the condition of his star daughter, acted for television and was generally a public figure, Zhanna Friske’s mother was always in the shadows, protecting her daughter’s peace.

After the funeral service, the coffin with the singer’s body was transported from the Yelokhovsky Cathedral to the Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye cemetery, where Zhanna Friske will find her final refuge. Already at noon, her relatives and close people gathered at the star’s grave, and security also concentrated on the site. Zhanna Friske’s best friend and godmother to her two-year-old son Platon, Olga Orlova, addressed the audience with a speech in which she thanked everyone for their presence, participation and attention to what happened. Orlova also expressed gratitude to Friske’s friends for the fact that for almost two years that she was struggling with a serious illness, they supported her and believed in the best.

At the farewell ceremony for Zhanna Friske at Crocus City Hall, many were surprised why the deceased’s common-law husband, Dmitry Shepelev, was not among the relatives. Her father and mother, sister Natalya and her husband Sergei were sitting at the coffin with Zhanna’s body, but there was no beloved man. According to Komsomolskaya Pravda, the reason is that Dmitry was unable to fly from Bulgaria on time, where he was with his parents and son Platon. It was expected that the TV presenter would be in Moscow the night before the funeral, which will take place on June 18. At the same time, Platon will remain abroad - the family decided not to traumatize the boy by participating in mourning events.

In Moscow, in the Crocus City Hall, a farewell ceremony for Zhanna Friske is taking place. Both the singer’s relatives and friends, as well as her ordinary fans, will be able to come here. From the very morning, an incredible number of people gathered at the entrance to the farewell site. The funeral ceremony is scheduled to begin at 14:00, but people began to gather much earlier.

By Orthodox custom, the coffin will remain in the temple all night. On Thursday morning, a funeral service will be held in the same church in the presence of Jeanne's relatives and close friends. The performer will be buried at the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery. Then a wake will take place in one of the best Moscow restaurants - only close relatives of the singer are invited.

The release of Andrei Malakhov’s “Let Them Talk” program was dedicated to the memory of Zhanna. It showed the first interview with the singer’s father Vladimir Borisovich, given after the singer’s death. “We were hoping all this time. We thought there would be some kind of miracle. “I realized that miracles don’t happen,” said Vladimir Borisovich, without hiding his tears. - She gave birth in April, and fell ill two months later. I had thoughts that this was connected with her pregnancy. We were already sent to die then. Well done, she pulled through. There was a positive dynamic, she even drove once, she lost weight... When she regained consciousness, we slowly turned on her songs, she reacted and she felt better. I know she will be better off there than here. I don't know how I will live now. Only our grandson will remind us of her.” Her best friend Olga Orlova, composer Igor Krutoy, singer Valeria, singer Natasha Koroleva, stylist Vlad Lisovets and other stars also came to honor the memory of Zhanna. All of them not only shared their experiences, but also recalled bright moments associated with Zhanna Friske.

In the “Live Broadcast” program Boris Korchevnikov talks about last days Zhanna Friske’s life was told by her family and friends. The singer's sister Natalya gave a short interview. She said that on June 13, Zhanna lost consciousness, and spent the last two days of her life lying unconscious in bed at home. Zhanna Friske's father, Vladimir Borisovchi, also made a brief statement. “We chose the nearest cemetery - Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye. Dmitry wrote that he was leaving on the next plane, but I don’t know when he would return. Plato is now in Bulgaria. He literally left on Sunday, and on Monday Zhanna died... The boy was here for eight months, he just walked here, we wanted him to relax at sea. She was unconscious for three months. And she couldn’t say anything, she was in a coma. Her mother, sister and two friends were always with her. Dima was not there. Zhanna's departure was very difficult. The doctors could not help, what was the point of calling an ambulance earlier - there was no pulse anymore,” said the singer’s father. In addition to him, journalist Otar Kushanashvili, actress and TV presenter Elena Proklova, producer Andrei Razin and other stars had the opportunity to express their opinions on the program.

Her classmate Natalya Krechetova shared her memories of the years spent next to the star. The woman admitted that she would never forget her amazing friend and would forever remember her as bright and cheerful. In addition, Natalya stated that Zhanna Friske dreamed of a second child and sincerely believed that she had everything ahead of her. “Back in January, you dreamed of a second child and were full of hope. Sleep, my girl, you continue to live in your son,” wrote a classmate of the star. Krechetova published rare photographs of her friend on her social network page. In the photo, the open and smiling schoolgirl is easy to recognize as the people's favorite. This is exactly how Zhanna Friske was remembered by classmates, friends, colleagues and numerous fans. These shots have truly never been seen before; they are unique in their kind.

It is known that at the time of Zhanna Friske’s death, her husband and son were not with her: TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev and little Platon had flown to Bulgaria on vacation a few days earlier, where Dima’s parents, Andrei Viktorovich and Natalya Aleksandrovna Shepelev, were already waiting for them. “StarHit” contacted the TV presenter’s dad to express his condolences. "Thank you. We are holding on. It’s very difficult for all of us now,” said Andrei Shepelev. – We are now trying to fly out of Burgas together with Dima and Plato. Of course, there are problems with this, with tickets. Plato is still small. We don’t tell him yet that his mother is no more... We won’t take him to the funeral either...”

ELLE Brand Director Natalya Shkuleva spoke about the son of Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev. “On the morning of June 14, Andrey (Malakhov - editor’s note) and I were returning from Baku,” Natalya shared with StarHit. “We were waiting for our luggage at Domodedovo airport and suddenly we saw Dima Shepelev, in his hands he was holding a diaper and a bottle of water. Little Plato ran around him non-stop. A very cheerful guy with a fashionable haircut, he looks like both Zhanna and Dima at the same time. I said Hi! How are you?" Plato became shy, sat down on the floor and hugged his father’s leg. But curiosity took over, the baby began to flirt: “Peek-a-boo” - and immediately hid. Dima and I started talking, it turned out they were flying to Bulgaria. Dima held on and didn’t show it, although we knew that the situation in the family was critical.”

Soon after the death of Zhanna Friske became known, her common-law husband, TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev, commented on the death of his common-law wife Zhanna Friske. He left a touching note on his Facebook page. “We always repeated: “Happiness loves silence.” I remain true to these words, because Zhanna remains for me absolute, pure, unique happiness. We didn't give up and fought to win. They say that 2 years is a long time in such a situation. But, of course, this is very little for us. I know for sure that we could not have done it without you. I want to thank everyone: who donated money for Zhanna’s treatment, prayed for her health, simply thought about her, wished her happiness and strength. I want you to know: these two years are largely your fault. Thank you! I wish you and your loved ones health. And in the near future I would like to focus on helping those who, like us, do not give up and fight for health and life.”

The singer’s father, Vladimir Borisovich, spoke about who her son Platon will remain with after the death of Zhanna Friske, who will take on the efforts to raise him. “The child must stay with his father. If he gives it to us, allows us to educate him, we will help educate him, naturally. Where should we leave him? He won’t be left without anyone,” the man said. Let us note that, in addition, he takes an active part in Plato’s upbringing. godmother Olga Orlova. At any free moment, the ex-“brilliant” tries to be close to the baby. “Platosha grew up practically in my arms, I was little with him in America, then in Latvia, we have a very close relationship,” Orlova previously said about her relationship with her named son.

Zhanna Friske was a multi-talented person: she not only sang and danced beautifully, but also, without having an acting education, achieved great success in cinema, starring in several sensational projects at once. The singer loved to try everything new and unknown: she experimented in the circus, at the skating rink and on a desert island. Participation in the project " Last Hero"showed the audience a completely new Zhanna: her courage was surprising, and her strong position in life aroused respect. And yet, the main thing in Zhanna’s life was her family. The people closest to her were her parents, sister Natalya, common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev and son Platon.

StarHit managed to contact a neighbor of the Friske family, who lives next to their country house in the Moscow region. The man talked about what the last few months of the singer’s life were like and who her only son was with.

"IN Lately Zhanna was worse,” Friske’s neighbor Sergei tells StarHit. - I remember that she used to walk on her own, then she began to move with the help of her mother, leaning on her, and then she stopped going out altogether... Zhanna’s son Platon was with her parents - Volodya and Olga. There was always a nanny-assistant with the child, it was too hard for Zhanna’s parents, they tried not to show their emotions to the baby.”

Later it became known that a few days before the death of Zhanna Friske, Platon flew abroad with his father Dmitry Shepelev. Most likely, we're talking about about Bulgaria: it was for a flight to this country that the family recently checked in at one of the capital’s airports. Plato has not yet been told that his mother is no more.

The shocking news about the death of Zhanna Friske appeared late at night, but the stars rushed to react to it immediately. Social networks are full of mournful comments, condolences and emotional statements. Here are just a few of them:

Philip Kirkorov:“Goodbye, beloved Zhanna... Farewell, friend... True friend... I’m crying... It’s impossible to believe... It’s cruel...”

Lera Kudryavtseva:“My beloved girl... Farewell, my beautiful, kind, gentle friend. You are forever the sunshine in my heart. I can’t believe it, why????????? I'm crying".

Olga Orlova:“Farewell, my girl... Sleep well... You will forever remain in my heart...”

Many people remember well how on July 8, 2014, the singer was photographed by paparazzi celebrating her birthday in Jurmala. The artist then turned 40 years old, and, as you know, many prefer not to organize celebrations or celebrate this date out of superstition, but it was very important for the star at such a time difficult period gather your loved ones around the table and spend time with them. "StarHit" contacted famous psychic Daria Mironova to find out how the last days of Zhanna’s life went and what Mironova herself associates with the singer’s departure. As it turned out, the participant in the “Battle of Psychics” is inclined to believe that Zhanna Friske, without knowing it, has brought the day of her death closer.

As it turned out, shortly before the death of Zhanna Friske, her Native sister Natalya received a long-awaited gift from her mother-in-law - a hand-embroidered beaded icon of St. Matrona. Natalya shared the news that she received this gift on her VKontakte page on the day her sister passed away. This icon was presented to Jeanne's closest relative so that she could pray for her health and well-being.

Projects of the publishing house Hearst Shkulev Media mourn the loss of Zhanna Friske and remember who she was: cheerful, kind, open and very optimistic.

Initially, it was not clear in which cemetery and when the singer would be buried. Later it became known that we were talking about the Nikolo-Arkhangelsk cemetery. Commenting on what happened, close stars were stingy with words. “Unfortunately, Zhannochka is no longer with us,” said her father Vladimir Borisovich. “She passed away in Moscow.

The artist added that he offers his condolences only to Zhanna Friske’s husband, Dmitry Shepelev. “I have a lot of respect for Dima Shepelev, who passed the test more than adequately and in this whole tragedy behaves like a real man. Here are my condolences to him,” Stanislav Sadalsky wrote on his blog.

Zhanna Friske died on the night of June 16, 2015 at the age of 41. The cause of death was brain cancer, which the singer had been battling for the last 2 years. The artist learned about the incurable disease in the fall of 2013, and began treatment then. The official announcement that Zhanna Friske had an inoperable brain tumor was made at the beginning of 2014. At the same time, Channel One announced a collection of money for the treatment of the pop singer. In just a few days, 68 million rubles were collected.

Farewell to Zhanna Friske took place at Crocus City Hall in Moscow. On him thousands of fans of the singer came. The only person not present at the civil memorial service was the artist’s husband, Dmitry Shepelev, who flew to Bulgaria with his son Plato a few days before his death. There he learned about the death of his wife. Dmitry Shepelev appeared only at the funeral of Zhanna Friske. They, unlike farewells, were only for family and friends. Cameramen and photographers were not allowed to attend the singer’s funeral by order of Dmitry Shepelev. Photos and videos appeared in the media only from the civil memorial service in Crocus City Hall, as noted in the latest news.

The death of Zhanna Friske shocked not only her family, but also her fans. IN On social networks, a lot of news has appeared on the Internet in which users express their condolences to the family of the pop singer, who was only 40 years old. However, some bloggers after farewell and funeral of Zhanna Friske did not appreciate her merits. In particular, businessman Oleg Tinkov was outraged by the public attention the death of an “ordinary” pop singer attracted.

The actions of Zhanna Friske’s husband Dmitry Shepelev are also discussed on the Internet. The singer’s husband flew to Bulgaria 2 days before her death, taking his son Plato with him. As a result, he learned about his wife’s death there. Dmitry Shepelev was not present at the farewell to Zhanna Friske at Crocus City Hall, but arrived at the funeral service and funeral of the pop singer. He explained his delay by saying that he was waiting for his father in Burgas, Bulgaria, to leave his son with him.

Zhanna Vladimirovna Friske (Kopylova) – lead singer of the group “Brilliant” from 1996 to 2003. From 2003 to 2013 she built solo career. She starred in the films “Night Watch”, “What Men Talk About”, participated in the reality show “The Last Hero”, and was the host of the project “Vacations in Mexico”.

Zhanna Friske's childhood

In 1973, a fateful meeting between Zhanna Friske’s future parents took place: Vladimir Friske, an employee of the Moscow House of Arts, encountered Olga Kopylova, a smiling and energetic Cossack woman from the Urals, on one of the capital’s streets. Four months after they met, stamps appeared in their passports indicating the beginning of family life. The happy groom took the bride's surname and became Vladimir Kopylov.


A year later, the couple stunned their relatives with good news: Olga Kopylova became pregnant. On July 8, 1974, royal twins were born. A boy and a girl were born in the seventh month of pregnancy; Zhanna's brother was diagnosed with a congenital intestinal pathology - he was unable to survive.


Vladimir was strict towards eldest daughter and did not allow her to waste time in vain: Zhanna studied ballet, sports dancing, rhythmic gymnastics, acrobatics, and participated in school plays.


In 1986, the Friske-Kopylov family expanded - their second daughter Natasha was born. Despite the 12-year age difference, the sisters became true friends. The younger Kopylova also showed herself to be a creative person: she took up singing and dancing.


In her senior year, her father took Zhanna to an audition for Mosfilm. The tests were unsuccessful, but Vladimir still pushed his daughter into filming commercials about vacuum cleaners and sports equipment.


In 1991, Zhanna graduated from school No. 406 in Perovo and entered the Moscow Humanitarian Institute, preferring the Faculty of Journalism. Three years later, the girl left the university without receiving the coveted crust. In search of income, she got a job as a secretary in a construction company, and then became a teacher of plastic arts and choreography.

In 1996, Zhanna Kopylova met producer Andrei Gromov, who at that moment was working on the girl’s pop project “Brilliant”. At that time, the group included Olga Orlova, Polina Iodis and Varvara Koroleva. Andrei knew that Zhanna was a professional dancer, and invited the girl to serve as a choreography consultant.


That same year, “Brilliant” released their first solo album, “There, Only There,” and were ready to go on a tour of Russia, but before the start of the tour, Varvara announced that she was leaving the group for the sake of family happiness. She was replaced by soloist Irina Lukyanova, and in May 1997 Grozny proposed introducing a fourth “spangle” into the lineup - Zhanna.


The girl needed a pseudonym; as her stage name, Zhanna took her father’s sonorous and fairly well-known surname. Despite this step, at first Vladimir was upset by the career choice of his eldest daughter, but when it became clear that the fiery quartet was just right for the Russian stage, he changed his anger to mercy.

Brilliant - “And I kept flying”

Together with Zhanna Friske, “Brilliant” recorded four albums: the album “Simply Dreams” in 1998, two years later – the album “About Love”. It was followed by “For Four Seas” and “Orange Paradise”, which, in fact, was a collection of covers of popular Soviet songs. During the recording of “Orange Paradise”, no one remained from the original composition of “Brilliant”: Ksenia Novikova, Anna Semenovich and Yulia Kovalchuk now sang along with Zhanna.

The album became Zhanna’s final project as part of “Brilliant”. The reason for leaving was prosaic - the girl realized that she had “outgrown” the girl band period and decided to devote time to a solo career.

Solo career of Zhanna Friske

In October 2005, Zhanna's debut solo album was released, recorded with the participation of Andrei Grozny and Sergei Kharuta. The record was modestly called “Zhanna” and consisted of 9 original songs and four remixes. The compositions “La-la-la”, “Somewhere in the Summer” and “Flying into the Dark”, which were actively rotated on radio and music channels, reached the top of the charts. In 2006, in collaboration with Andrey Gubin, a re-release of the album was released, supplemented by three video clips and a couple of new remixes.

Zhanna Friske - I was

The album remained Zhanna’s only solo album, but there was no talk of ending her singing career: Friske released 17 singles in collaboration with major Russian pop stars: the hit track “Malinki” with the guys from “Disco Accident”, “Western” with Tanya Tereshina, “You’re near” together with Dzhigan, “Snow is falling quietly” with Dmitry Malikov. The last single, “Love Wanted,” was released in 2015, shortly before the singer’s death.


Zhanna Friske in film and television

In 2003, shortly before leaving Brilliant, Friske took part in the fourth season of the reality show The Last Hero. Having spent several months on a desert island somewhere in South America, the girl steadfastly withstood all the difficulties of wild life, although there were many dangerous episodes, for example, once Nikolai Drozdov accidentally poisoned the show participants with poisonous frogs caught by DeCl, assuring his teammates that with the skin removed amphibians will be quite edible. In addition, Zhanna was allergic to exotic plants. Friske reached the final, but lost the title of winner to Yana Volkova. Returning to Moscow, rested and inspired by the new experience, the girl terminated the contract with the group and began working on material for a solo album.


In 2004, Timur Bekmambetov’s blockbuster “Night Watch” was released, based on the novel of the same name by Sergei Lukyanenko. Although Zhanna’s heroine’s name was Alisa Donnikova, it was implied that the freedom-loving and intelligent witch-singer was Friske herself. In the epic film, the girl demonstrated the insidious side of her character: while Konstantin Khabensky was trying to lift the curse from the heroine Maria Poroshina, Zhanna convinced the young “other” Yegor to take the dark side.


Friske did not stop at her successful acting debut in “Night Watch”: in 2005, a continuation of the saga about the confrontation between the Light and the Dark was released. This time Bekmambetov gave Zhanna’s heroine more screen time, forcing the girl to make a choice between the dark lord Zabulon, the character of Viktor Verzhbitsky, and the young vampire Kostya, the hero of Alexei Chadov. The role brought her an MTV award in the category “Best female role-2006".

In 2010, fans saw Friske in two films. The first is the psychological drama “Who Am I?” with the participation of Alexander Yatsenko and Sergei Gazarov. Zhanna appears in the memories of Pasha Matveev, who has lost his memory and is suspected of murder. The film was not subjected to sharp criticism, but it also did not receive rave reviews, disappearing without a trace among the number of mediocre films by Klim Shipenko.


But another project - Dmitry Dyachenko's comedy "What Men Talk About", filmed in the road movie genre - collected $12 million at the Russian box office and received hundreds of laudatory reviews. In the center of the plot are the participants of “Quartet “I”” (Leonid Barats, Alexander Demidov and others), who decided to spend a real “men’s” weekend away from the city and family. Friske played herself, and the cameo turned out to be very self-ironic.

“What men talk about,” scene with Zhanna Friske

In 2011, Friske became the host of the reality show “Vacations in Mexico,” but due to her heavy workload, she refused to participate in the second season of the project, handing over the post to ex-participant of “House-2” Alena Vodonaeva.

Personal life of Zhanna Friske

The singer’s personal life has always been of interest to Russian and foreign tabloids. Over the years of her career, she was credited with relationships with the leader of the group “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” Sergei Amoralov, Hi-Fi lead singer Mitya Fomin. There were rumors that she was by no means connected with Dmitry Nagiyev professional relationships. However, there was never any official confirmation from Friske herself or at least from the ubiquitous paparazzi.


At the beginning of her career, the singer met with entrepreneur Ilya Mitelman, who often acted as a sponsor of the girl’s projects, but things never came to a wedding.

In 2006, Zhanna began an affair with hockey player Alexander Ovechkin, but her partner chose to get carried away with another “ex-brilliant”, Ksenia Novikova.


Zhanna Friske and Dmitry Shepelev: a love story

Since August 2011, the media began to “match” Friske with Dmitry Shepelev. For some time, Zhanna denied a relationship with the TV presenter, and Shepelev allegedly discovered common-law wife, living in Kyiv, so the majority agreed that this whole story is nothing more than a well-thought-out PR for the singer’s marketers.


In January 2012, paparazzi caught them during a joint vacation in Miami - the stars, unaware of the surveillance, clearly showed feelings for each other. Then there was the story of the SPA salon, where the couple went for the May Day holidays with a “program for two.”



When the 38-year-old singer gave birth to her long-awaited first child in April 2013, she had to confirm that Shepelev was indeed the father of the child and her lover. The happy parents and the boy, who was named Plato, spent several months in Miami, and upon returning to Moscow they began planning their wedding.


However, the ceremony was not destined to take place. In January 2014, information appeared in the media that the star was terminally ill. Many considered the news a blasphemous “newspaper duck,” but soon the singer’s relatives and partner confirmed terrible diagnosis– glioblastoma, inoperable stage 4 brain cancer. Zhanna learned about the disease during pregnancy, but refused chemotherapy for fear of losing the child. After giving birth, she was tormented by headaches for a long time, but the singer hid the terrible illness from her family and the press for several months.


Death of Zhanna Friske

For almost two years, Zhanna fought cancer in the best clinics in the USA and Germany. At some point, fans got the impression that the star was recovering, but in the spring of 2015 it became clear that there was no chance of salvation.


Zhanna Friske died on June 15, 2015. The grief-stricken father was the first to report this: “Zhanna died, it’s true. This happened on June 15 at ten o’clock in the evening.”


Farewell to the artist took place on June 17 in the capital's Crocus City Hall concert hall. Numerous friends and show business colleagues came to the sad ceremony. Friske’s close friend, who worked with her in the group “Brilliant,” Olga Orlova, could not hold back her tears: “Farewell, my beauty.... You will forever remain in my heart.... Look after me from above.... I am very love you...".

Alas, soon after Zhanna’s death, an extremely unpleasant conflict broke out between Shepelev and the Friske family. The day before Friske’s death, Shepelev took Plato to Bulgaria and stopped communicating with the relatives of his common-law wife. For a long time he did not allow Olga and Vladimir Kopylov to see their grandson. In turn, Zhanna’s parents and close friends accused Dmitry of speculating on Friske’s name: he sold her latest photographs to yellow publications, had illegal access to her accounts, and seriously contributed to the amount that the whole country collected for the singer’s treatment. Father Friske was especially zealous - even to the point of making public threats of murder.

With the help of the guardianship authorities, the Kopylovs obtained permission to visit Plato, but the baby’s father was not going to give up his position. He still did not allow the grandparents to visit their grandson. In December 2015, Shepelev stated that Kopylov and a group of anonymous individuals attacked him with the aim of stealing Platon. Vladimir accused the presenter of playing to the public and stated that he was only trying to see the boy and that there was no attack. After this, Dmitry publicly stated that the child’s grandfather was mentally ill.


However, when dividing Jeanne’s inheritance, the conflicting parties managed to reach a consensus. The relatives received the deceased’s Moscow apartment, and Shepelev, as the guardian, received a country house. However, the scandal has acquired new details, threatening to mix the name of the Friske-Kopylov family with mud. Rusfond, which oversaw the collection of money for Friske, demanded a detailed report on the funds spent. It soon became clear that 21 million rubles had disappeared from Zhanna’s account without a trace. The parents and common-law spouse nodded at each other, each accusing his opponent of theft. However, this issue was resolved when Zhanna’s sister, Natalya Kopylova, was able to provide checks with the “disappeared” amount.

Dmitry did a great job so that his mother’s death would have as little impact on Plato’s psyche as possible. He answers the boy’s every question about his mother; there are the best photos Zhanna, and when giving the baby a gift for the next holiday, Dmitry always says: “Mom and I congratulate you!” He often takes his son to resorts, strictly controls his leisure time and diet, and takes an active part in Plato’s life.

Born future show business star in Moscow in the family of artist and businessman Vladimir Kopylov. By the way, Zhanna bore her father’s surname until 1996, and only after that she changed it to the now recognizable surname Friske. Creative skills Zhanna showed up since childhood: at school the girl studied gymnastics, ballroom dancing, acrobatics, took an active part in amateur performances.

After graduating from school, Friske entered the Faculty of Journalism of the Moscow Humanitarian Institute, but did not complete her studies and became a furniture sales manager. It goes without saying that this enterprise did not satisfy her ambitions, so the work lasted a very short time. But participation in the musical project “Brilliant” became a much more serious hobby for Zhanna Friske. The singer’s creative career began with this group.

Along with musical activities Friske tries himself on television and cinema, in which he also achieves noticeable success. Thus, for her role as a presenter in the television project “Holidays in Mexico”, Friske receives the “Fashion Presenter” award, and for the role of Alisa Donnikova from “Day Watch” - the “Best Actress” award. At the same time, Friske’s list of musical awards is much wider: “Sexiest Singer”, “Best Performer”, “Singer of the Year” etc.

Death of Zhanna Friske

At the beginning of 2014, the singer was given a terrible diagnosis - brain cancer. Zhanna Friske retired from business and spent a long time undergoing treatment in clinics in Germany and the USA. Due to a serious tumor, the artist’s vision and coordination were impaired, but by the summer her condition seemed to have stabilized.

For some time Friske and her family lived in the Baltic states, but spent the last months before her death in her capital country house. The singer died on the evening of June 15, 2015 in the arms of her close friend and colleague Olga Orlova. On June 16, when the sad news of her passing hit the media, everyone cried, and even nature in Moscow responded to this event with rain. Some doctors believe that the direct cause of Friske’s death was radiation therapy, which caused certain complications.

Funeral of Zhanna Friske

Two days later in the Moscow concert hall Crocus City Hall held a civil memorial service, which brought together thousands of friends, colleagues and fans of the singer. Members of the group “Brilliant”, Philip Kirkorov, Sergey Lazarev and others were present at the farewell to Friske.

On the morning of Thursday, June 18, a funeral service was held in the Yelokhovsky Cathedral, where many, many hundreds of her fans were present. The funeral of Zhanna Friske took place on June 18 at the Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye cemetery in the Moscow region in the presence of the artist’s family and close friends. The burial site was fenced off, and about 100 people took part in the ritual burial procedure.

Anita Tsoi, singer

Fans of the work of the wonderful singer and actress Zhanna Friske were shocked by the terrible news in January 2014. Doctors discovered she had brain cancer. In June 2015, the artist passed away.

It all started with an ordinary headache that began to overcome the show business star in mid-2013, shortly after she gave birth to her son Plato.

Zhanna did not pay attention to this “trifle” for a long time. I thought that maybe it was some kind of postpartum syndrome. The pain was relieved with pills. But my head started to hurt more and more. And her mother began to notice something was wrong: her daughter was increasingly tightly curtaining the windows and sleeping around the clock. Such a long and sound sleep could no longer be explained by fatigue alone. Then Zhanna’s legs began to literally give way. And one day she lost consciousness in broad daylight while she was shopping.

Zhanna was taken to the hospital. They took tests and made a diagnosis: . Moreover, it is inoperable. The doctors admitted that they did not want to tell the truth to the relatives, because, according to their forecasts, Zhanna was supposed to die in the first month.

The singer herself, having heard the terrible diagnosis, accepted it with her characteristic fortitude. Until the end, Friske tried not to upset her parents with the unpleasant news of her illness.

Zhanna in general strong man, - said her father Vladimir Borisovich. - That's why she didn't tell anyone. I didn't want to upset you. She is very strong and will never say that she is sick. That's the kind of person she is.

And soon the following appeared on the artist’s website: “The fact that for many months remained exclusively the matter of our family, unfortunately, a few days ago became public domain. At the same time, we want to stop any speculation and believe that fans and people who care about Zhanna have the right to know the truth ". Our family has had a severe test. Zhanna is sick with cancer. We continue to fight for her and do not stop believing for a minute. We appeal to everyone with the only request to support us with a kind word and prayer."

On the same day, all people who were not indifferent to the fate of the actress gathered in the Channel One program “Let Them Talk.” Zhanna’s friend, singer Olga Orlova assured viewers:

Zhanna is a fighter, very strong. All efforts are now aimed at ensuring that Zhanna overcomes the disease. It’s difficult to say where Zhanna got this illness... It’s some kind of plague of our time. It is necessary to check your health, of course, in order to notice this disease in time.

Another friend of Zhanna, stylist and TV presenter Vlad Lisovets, who has known her for more than 17 years, supported her colleague:

It is difficult to say where this disease came from. Zhanna always took great care of her health - she did yoga and followed detox diets on vacation. I don’t know, maybe the Lord sends such tests to his beloved children. And I am sure that Zhanna will cope with this test, because she is very strong.

DOUBTS AND FEARS OF DOCTORS

Doctors tried to understand the causes of the star’s serious illness.

Zhanna Friske was diagnosed with glioblastoma, explained Candidate of Medical Sciences, neurosurgeon Igor Borshchenko. - This is the most common primary brain tumor. Signs depend on which areas are affected. If the formation occurs closer to the cerebral cortex and affects the centers responsible for speech or movement, then symptoms appear almost immediately. This may include fainting, sudden disturbances in speech or coordination of movements. In such situations, people, as a rule, quickly turn to doctors for help, and the disease can be detected at an early stage - its presence is shown by MRI of the brain. And then it is possible to prescribe treatment on time. But if the tumor is located in the deep structures of the brain, it can grow without acute symptoms. Often, a sign of a tumor can be olfactory hallucinations, for example, a person seems to smell like garbage everywhere, or familiar foods change their taste and smell.

Chronic headaches that are almost not relieved by analgesics, nausea and vomiting in the morning should always be on your guard.
It is impossible to say what exactly could trigger the development of brain cancer. There is discussion on the Internet that this could be due to Zhanna’s pregnancy, taking some hormonal drugs. I can say that there is no reliable data on the connection between glioblastoma and hormones; it is not a hormone-dependent tumor. According to statistics, this type of cancer affects both men and women equally.

We can say something else - primary glioblastoma practically does not metastasize. This can give you hope. And is amenable to surgical and radiation treatment. There are cases where people recovered completely from such a tumor. The main thing is not to let the disease take its course, do not despair and listen to doctors, and not “well-wishers.”

A different opinion was expressed by oncologist of branch No. 1 of the State Budgetary Healthcare Institution “City Clinic No. 68 of the Moscow Health Department”, candidate of medical sciences, head of the oncology department Ekaterina Prikhodko:

Glioblastoma of the fourth degree is one of the most dangerous fast-growing tumors in the body, with active invasion into surrounding brain tissue. According to the US Central Brain Tumor Registry, the 1-2 year survival rate for patients over 60 years of age ranges from 13 to 2 percent. It is more common between the ages of 50 and 70 and more common in men. To date, the cause of this disease has not been established. There is no convincing data on the harmful effects of magnetic fields - phones, smartphones, household appliances. A possible cause may be genetic predisposition.

Modern diagnostic methods allow the detection of the disease in the presence of appropriate symptoms, even in its initial stages. Using computed tomography of the brain, MRI of the brain with contrast, SPEKT and PET examinations. But, unfortunately, the absence of early symptoms of tumor development does not allow timely diagnosis of glioblastoma.
And the effectiveness of treatment depends on various factors: the location of the tumor in the brain; high resistance to conventional therapy; anatomical and physiological characteristics of the brain (reduced regeneration of brain tissue); tumor penetration into surrounding tissues; reducing tumor blood circulation, preventing the delivery of chemotherapy drugs to the tumor site; large quantity side effects from the therapy.

At different stages of glioblastoma, all stages of treatment used in oncology are carried out: neurosurgical - surgical removal of the tumor; combined - radiation therapy with the use of chemotherapy drugs; maintenance chemotherapy.

Since this is one of the most dangerous and unpredictable tumors in oncology, doctors estimate the average life expectancy of such patients to be about a year. However, each clinical case has its own individual treatment program, the result of which depends on the condition of the patient’s body, the tumor’s response to treatment and the doctor’s experience. After all, each patient reacts differently to the same treatment.

But why the tumor could have arisen is a mystery. But it is certain that pregnancy cannot be considered a risk factor for glioblastoma.

Treatment of a patient diagnosed with glioblastoma in Russia is carried out according to government programs for free. Neurosurgical School of Russia represented by the Research Institute of Neurosurgery named after. N.N. Burdenko is one of the most recognized and respected in the whole world. All patients in Russia receive step-by-step, adequate treatment that meets all international standards. The work of Russian doctors is no different from the work of American doctors. The fact is that currently oncology has gone beyond the borders of any countries, states, or continents. Today, this is a global community of doctors who think alike and have the same approaches to diagnosing and treating such patients. In a professional case, there is no difference - America or Russia. This is the patient's choice.

Another doctor shared his concerns - obstetrician-gynecologist Semyon Tsinker, who delivered the birth of a star patient:

The last time Zhanna came to me for a routine postpartum examination was about six months ago (the book was published in 2014 - editor's note). At that time I did not see anything in her appearance that could indicate illness. She was happy. The boy was born large, everything was fine. The artist did not say anything to me, the doctor who delivered her, about the existing tumor. Of course, it cannot be denied that the disease developed over short term.

“I WAS SUPPORTED WITH WORDS, PRAYERS, MONEY”

Since January 2014, Friske underwent treatment at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. And already there Zhanna’s terrible attacks became more frequent. According to relatives, the unfortunate woman seemed to be twisted and broken all over, her body was bent in pain so that her spine could break. And after the attack came hours of unconsciousness. In March, it became known that the singer had practically lost her sight due to a brain tumor. “We were told that glasses won’t help now, because the tumor is putting pressure on the brain,” the singer’s father told reporters. “Once the swelling decreases after drug treatment, vision will be restored.”
And the singer’s son Platon lived in Moscow for some time after his mother left for America with his grandmother and Zhanna’s sister Natasha.

We always tried to show Platon Zhannochka: all the photographs were on TV,” Natasha recalled. “So he didn’t feel like mom wasn’t around.” Zhannochka called herself. We talked to her almost every day.

Channel One held a fundraiser for the singer’s treatment. There were so many sympathizers with Zhanna that in a short time, literally in two weeks, about 70 million rubles were collected. Therefore, all the clinic’s bills were paid, funds were reserved to continue treatment, and the remainder of the funds collected went to the treatment of children with cancer on the waiting list. The singer was supported by all her colleagues, and even the famous Sharon Osbourne, wife of Ozzy Osbourne, who also suffered the horrors of cancer, but recovered (about her in this book too. - Ed.). At the end of January, the singer’s producer Andrei Shlykov said that doctors give positive prognoses of recovery.

And soon Zhanna Friske herself addressed her fans with words of gratitude on the Rusfond website: “Thank you! It was impossible to imagine that in such a difficult moment for me and my family, hundreds of thousands of people would respond and support me with words, prayers and money. I thank you all for your attention and care. It gives me strength. Thank you for your humanity. For the fact that there are so many sympathetic, merciful, caring people in Russia. Health. Peace of mind. Hopes. God bless you".

In April, Platon, along with his dad Dmitry Shepelev, was already with his mother. “The grandson really missed Zhanna, in Moscow he looked at her photographs and stroked them,” said Zhanna’s father, Vladimir Borisovich. – Plato is growing by leaps and bounds. He has become so strong! He already has four teeth and bites.”

And in May, when Zhanna began to feel better, Dmitry Shepelev told how his family survived this difficult year in the fight against cancer. “Zhannochka definitely feels better than six months ago. And for us this, of course, is a great joy. We live one day at a time and don’t think about what we will do in two years, where we will go on vacation next summer. We realized that it is important to enjoy what we have here and now. Because there may not be tomorrow. And this applies to any person. The fact that Zhanna is doing better means that for the first time this year our family can be together. There is no need to fly somewhere, move or take any drastic actions in order to save a person. This gives us the opportunity to finally devote all our free time to each other. I can hug both Zhanna and my son at the same time. It's the most important".

Zhanna and Plato literally learned to walk together,” recalled sister Natasha. - And in the end she got back on her feet, began to walk much more, she became much more better voice. Otherwise, when we called her before, she had a barely audible, sleepy voice. And then she started asking me so cheerfully: Sis, hello, what can I bring you? I say, bring yourself healthy, I don’t need to bring anything.

Test results have already shown improvements in the celebrity’s condition. In the early summer of 2014, after a long course of chemotherapy, doctors decided to complete the singer’s course of treatment. And Zhanna went with her family for rehabilitation to the Baltic states. At the time of writing (September 9, 2014), Zhanna was recovering her health on the Riga seaside in Jurmala (Latvia), where she celebrated her 40th birthday.

According to the attending doctors, the artist was able to cope with household chores and raising her one and a half year old son. Every day, the singer performed rehabilitation exercises and followed a strict diet.

However, as Zhanna’s friend Olga Orlova reported, despite significant improvements in her health, Zhanna was forced to sit within four walls almost without leaving. The fact is that the Russian pop star did not at all want to get into the frame of another curious paparazzi, and even more so was not ready to give any comments or interviews. And journalists stood by her house for days, wanting to get a picture of the recovered star.

Dmitry Shepelev after his experience last year I thought about writing a book. After all, he really has something to talk about and what to advise people who are faced with a similar situation: “About how not to lose faith in yourself and in those around you. And about the fact that you need to love every day - it doesn’t matter whether it’s black or already light.”

INSTEAD OF A GOOD BOARD TO THOSE WHO ARE NOW FIGHTING WITH THE DISEASE

Anna Semenovich back in January 2014, when Zhanna’s future was unknown, dedicated touching words to her friend that could help other people trying to cope with an insidious illness:

Remember once and for all: That there is only one life! She's yours! You don’t need to listen to anyone... They don’t know anything: your emotions and suffering, your grievances, love, farewells. They don’t know what’s in your soul, in your heart, they don’t know how to warm you up. Who is needed, dear, who is loved. Who you desperately need. They don’t know your words, they don’t see the pain. And never be in your role! And you alone have the right to decide, take, see, talk, call, scream, suffer and wait, and hate and miss, and hold your hand tightly. Look into the eyes and hug, laugh, cry and dream! And not to be afraid and to love, Only then will you understand what it means to Live!

OPINION

Zhanna Friske passed away...

Column by columnist Boris Voitsekhovsky

That's all. No more talking. Now all these arguments seem incredibly stupid and pathetic. Remember? Surely you remember how they heard from everywhere: they say, lies, deception, deception. And then Zhanna Friske died. At home. In Moscow. At the 41st year of life. Honestly.

It’s an amazing thing: an ordinary pop singer about two years ago suddenly became an indicator of the humanity of the entire country. All that was needed was to get seriously ill. The news feeds are full of cancer. The gossip columns gasped: but she just gave birth, what is this! Channel One immediately launched a campaign to raise funds for treatment and collected a fantastic amount in a matter of days. That's where it started. Where did all these questions come from? Is he really sick? Why does she have to collect money - and so, I suppose, she’s rich? Or maybe it’s not for her at all?

And it was disgusting, if we call everything by its proper name. And disgusting. And I feel terribly sorry for Zhanna’s husband, TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev, who in his blog confirms, thanks, as if making excuses... ()

The editors of the newspaper "Evening Moscow" expresses condolences to the family and friends of Zhanna Friske.
