She is the last love of a great artist, a talented musician, a person with amazing charisma, who died in a car accident at the peak of his fame. Their chance acquaintance changed the lives of both of them. For three years they were together inseparably, until a fatal tragedy put an end to their love story. We must pay tribute to Natalya: she did not share intimate secrets and did not participate in ugly squabbles. The woman was in the shadow of a great musician, avoiding unnecessary publicity. On the day of the funeral at the Bogoslovsky cemetery, the artist's parents, official wife Maryana and Natalia Razlogova stood together at the coffin.
Fateful meeting
The meeting with Tsoi, which changed a lot, took place in 1987, during the filming process of "Assy", where Natalya Razlogova was the assistant director of the film. Her biography is little known, except for the basic facts. She was born in Bulgaria in 1956, worked after graduating from the Faculty of Philology of Moscow State University as a translator andjournalist. Classmates recalled that she was always distinguished by erudition and a certain bohemianism. The ensuing romance between young people continued until the death of the singer. The musician left the family, saying that he fell in love. He maintained a relationship with Maryana and missed his son Sasha, feeling his responsibility to them.
Lovers Viktor Tsoi and Natalya Razlogova lived in Moscow and were going to buy an apartment. A year before his death, the singer introduced women to each other, not realizing how painful Maryana's explosive character was. "A barrel of gunpowder," as she said to herself. And as opposed to her - a seasoned, self-controlled, happy rival.
In 1991, Natalia marries the famous journalist E. Dodolev and leaves for America, and after many years returns to work on television. She repeatedly said that she was not going to share her personal life and publish a memoir.
Last love
The musician's father said that Victor broke up with his wife without a scandal, the marriage was not officially annulled, and after death all rights to the creative heritage passed to Maryana. Natasha's parents met at the funeral. Robert Tsoi, seeing his son's last love, understood why he was crazy about her.
“Refined Natalya Razlogova is beautiful in heart and face. And not everyone deserves such a woman,”the musician’s father shared in a frank interview. And he added that only Natasha was the real love of his son, he dreamed of marrying her, but did not have time.
Closed book
By the way, many of Victor's friends expressed their admiration for this interesting woman. Alexey Vishnya, a sound engineer and musician who worked with the Kino group, mentioned that Tsoi simply could not help but fall in love with the smart and silent beauty. In his opinion, it resembled a closed book. Natalya Razlogova was a woman of a different level, which Viktor had not previously had.
And Joanna Stingray, the ex-wife of the band's guitarist, did not hide the fact that Tsoi felt his loneliness all his life and found himself only with Natasha.
Return of the legend
The idol of millions, who gathered halls of many thousands, was monogamous. Building a relationship with one woman, he did not pay attention to others at all. R. Nugmanov, director of the sensational "Needle", in which Victor played the role of Moreau, recalled that he became very homely, and he wanted to have his own corner with Natasha. By the way, in 2010, in the film Needle Remix, Viktor Tsoi returned to the screen, and Natalya Razlogova provided part of her archival materials especially for this project. This is a modern vision of a previously released film. Nugmanov said that there were no understudies, in all the shots there is a living Viktor, “assembled” from particles of film. Tsoi's hand-drawn shots were used for the film, and Natalya claimed his virtual image. The main message of the new "Needle" is to portray the musician as a real actor, and not to focus on what he was.
Sensation for fans
A huge surprise for all fans was the release of the film "Tsoi - Kino" for the 50th anniversarymusician in 2012. The fact that it was Tsoi's civil wife, Natalya Razlogova, who never commented on her relationship, became the narrator in this documentary story, was a real sensation.
At that time she worked on the First Channel of Television. Razlogova does not appear in the frame, she is filmed exclusively in the shadows. While sorting through archival records, she discovered a song that Victor once sang a long time ago. Natasha meets with Tsoi's son Alexander and the band's musicians in St. Petersburg. The result is a recording of the found composition "Ataman", written in the tradition of Russian songs. The voice of a young musician sounds along with the instruments of his friends, who have become twenty years older and gathered for the first time after so many years.
Incarnate Meaning
Critics noted the spontaneity of the film, shot on an emotional scale. The author in his work tries to open for everyone the mystical signs in the paintings and music that Tsoi wrote. And Natalya Razlogova deliberately calls it "embodied meaning." It is as if she derives a formula for the uniqueness of a person with a pronounced sense of dignity, incompatible with the crowd. The tape does not reveal anything about Victor's personal relationships.
All the accents are placed on the reasoning of the musicians of the Kino group, Natalya emphasizes that only they have the right to talk about the life of the “last hero”.
The ironic and tough Natalya Razlogova clearly points out the mistakes in her memories of Viktor, noticing the lies in his memoirs. She iswants to convey his message about the extraordinary personality of an independent musician, believing that the scale of his work was underestimated by people close to him at that time. She does not share personal experiences, believing that ethics does not allow her to answer many questions.
