Who killed Igor Tal'kov? History of life and the mystery of the death of the singer

The history of Russian pop music knows a lot of very tragic stories. In the period of the rather sensational 90-ies of the XX century, several high-profile accidents happened, as a result of which famous musicians and singers died. One of them became a young and promising Igor Talkov.

A few words about the musician

Igor Vladimirovich Tal'kov was born in the small town of Shchekino, Tula region on November 4, 1956. He not only performed songs, but he also wrote to them texts that won the hearts of fans of Igor's creativity from young to old. Music filled all life, since school. Professional performances began much later. For the first time the musician appeared on the big stage in 1976. Igor Talkov (killed him right during the concert) was known not only for his soft voice, but also for his very attractive appearance.

In his career there were many strange cases. For example, during the performance of a group called "April", which at that time was singing Talkov, he was struck by a current through a microphone. It turned out that there were malfunctions with the equipment. Igor even lost consciousness for a while, but soon came to his senses. After this unpleasant incident, he quite a long time beforehand rewound the base of the microphone with electrical tape.

The life of the musician was tragically cut off on October 6, 1991. It happened under rather strange circumstances. Therefore, the question of who killed Talcov, still stirs the imagination of many people. There is an opinion that the perpetrator actually left responsibility. However, we can only be content with official facts.

Young talent Igor Talkov: who killed him?

It is worth mentioning the fact that literally a couple of days before his death, the musician received threatening calls. However, who did it, it was not established. The singer was killed in the Leningrad Sports Palace under the name "Jubilee". And it happened before his speech.

The question of who killed Talcov is open to this day. After all, the circumstances of his death were rather strange and controversial. In addition, there is an opinion that the singer was not respected by high-ranking officials of a certain influential circle. On the day of his last concert, which never happened, many musicians were to appear on the stage of the Jubilee. Opened performance known at that time singer Aziza. However, her friend asked Igor to go on stage first. According to her, Aziza simply did not have time to prepare properly. After that, Talkov called to her in the make-up bodyguard of the singer. According to eyewitnesses, a verbal conflict ensued between them.

Who killed Talcov? The answer to this question seems obvious to many, since it was Aziza's security guard who rushed to solve the conflict armed with a pistol. But not everything is so simple. The fact that Malakhov (the guard of the singer Aziza) returned with weapons, the singer was informed by Valery Shlyafman, who was the administrator of the group, which included Talkov at the time. The musician, in turn, took out his own pistol, deciding to intervene in the current situation. He shot three times at Malakhov, as he was guarding the approaching security guard. However, the bodyguard managed to dodge, firing back twice. These bullets did not harm the singer. But another shot, which sounded in the general brawl a little later, cut short the life of a young and very talented musician. It would seem that the situation is obvious. So why did Malakhov eventually be found not guilty?

Who killed Talcov?

Doctors of the "First Aid", who arrived on a call in the "Jubilee", ascertained the death of the singer. The last bullet hit him in the heart. But the examination later showed that the traces of the powder gases from the fatal pistol were on the shirt of the same Valery Shlyafman. Malakhov was acquitted, and the former administrator emigrated to Israel urgently, from which there was no extradition at that time. And only 21 years after the death of Talcov Valery gave an interview in which he said that all the accusations in his direction are groundless. According to Shlyafman, he was simply framed by "the powerful of this world." Therefore, the death of Igor Talkov still carries a lot of mysteries and omissions.
