Echoes of the 90s: 5 Russian stars associated with the underworld

The stars of show business have a very wide circle of acquaintances, which includes businessmen, politicians and athletes. You can safely add the leaders of the criminal world to this list, in relations with whom many Russian celebrities were noticed. Our selection includes popular artists associated with the underworld.

Grigory Leps

Grigory Leps began his career in Sochi, where he performed in restaurants. People connected with criminals came to listen to the talented musician, among whom were Grigory's relatives. Later Leps moved to Moscow, and the well-known thief in law Yaponchik became his patron.

In 2013, the US Treasury Department announced that Grigory Lepsveridze and members of the Brothers Circle criminal group were blacklisted by the US government. The artist's fans were outraged by the fact that the door to the United States was forever closed in front of their idol, and Gregory himself called the accusations against himself nonsense, although he did not hide that he knew criminals.

Dmitry Nagiev

The popular TV presenter admitted that he was not born with a silver spoon in his mouth and in his youth was associated with the bandits of St. Petersburg. In an interview, Nagiyev said that he participated in fights, people were shot at him, but the actor himself never killed anyone. The TV presenter still remembers with gratitude one influential acquaintance from whom he asked for support. Then Dmitry was threatened by members of the gangster group, and only the help of this man saved him from death.

Nagiyev is convinced that even among the criminals there are worthy people. Many of his acquaintances were killed, but there are also those who now occupy high positions.

Tatiana Ovsienko

The sex symbol of the 90s today is called nothing more than "the killer's bride." And all because Tatiana's fiancé is Alexander Mazurenko, who is considered one of the most influential leaders of the Tambov group. He earned the respect of the famous crime boss Vladimir Kumarin, the shadow "master" of St. Petersburg. And the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the FSB and Interpol have been hunting him around the world for several years. Alexander was a defendant in the criminal case on the attempt on the life of businessman Sergei Vasiliev. Mazurkin was sentenced to four years in prison, but released in the courtroom, taking into account the time spent in the pre-trial detention center.

The artist admitted that she did not know anything about the past of her lover. Nevertheless, all these years Tatyana Ovsienko was waiting for the return of her fiancé.

Keti Topuria

The popular singer has never been involved in scandals, but her father Andro was considered an influential crime boss. The man was a major drug dealer. Thanks to this, his whole family could lead a luxurious lifestyle, and little Katie had all the opportunities to practice music. Since the time of his first prison term, Topuria became addicted to drugs, which later became the cause of his early death.

In 2010, Andro received three years for possession of drugs. A few months later, the thief in law died in his prison cell. The cause of death was a heart attack, which was triggered by an overdose of methadone.

Ksenia Borodina

The parents of the popular TV presenter divorced when she was only one year old. Ksenia's mother married an Italian businessman and went to live in Italy, and she left her daughter to be raised by her parents. Kim Amoev, the biological father of the TV presenter, did not take part in her life, and at the age of 18, due to resentment, Ksenia even took her mother's surname.

The media called Amoev a criminal authority and even attributed to him a relationship with the famous thief in law Ded Khasan. It was at his commemoration in 2013 that Ksenia Borodina's father was detained. And in 2018 it became known that after a serious illness, the man passed away.

The nineties are far in the past, but in show business there are still people who were once associated with the criminal world. Some artists had family relationships with criminals, but today they rarely remember their authoritative relatives. And then there are the stars who worked with members of gangster groups, after which they built a brilliant career and became the favorites of millions of viewers.
