Why Irina Allegrova’s husband was imprisoned. Allegrova's husband is being brutally bullied in prison

Today I suddenly had an unbearable desire to see Ira. And talk... Ten years after the breakup, Allegrova and I never found an opportunity to sort things out. I don’t even know what got in the way more: our selfishness, pride or frivolity?

I remember the last meeting, or rather the attempted meeting, very well. This was in the winter of 2000. On a frosty December day I drove up to our house in Vatutinki. I approached the gate. Pressed the intercom button.

A senseless action: surveillance cameras long ago recorded both my car and me. “Hello, Igor Dmitrievich! - the guard's voice rang out. “Sorry, but you are not allowed in!”

I lived, you can’t say anything. Not allowed in own house. And who? A security guard whom he himself hired!

I left Ira in September. I drove home, furiously threw a couple of sweaters and shirts and a toothbrush into my bag, got into the car and drove off. Even at the dawn of the relationship, I told Ira that I came with a toothbrush and I would leave with it if things didn’t work out for us. I am not one of those men who would demand money from his beloved or share living space. Wrong way of upbringing, wrong character. But Allegrova, apparently, did not appreciate this.

I dialed her mobile number:

Ira, I can’t get into our house. But I need to pick up my things and documents. And it's worth talking... Please tell the guards to let me in.

This is no longer your home. And in general, I’m not in Vatutinki now. I'll call you back soon...

The voice in the receiver echoed - I can’t confuse this sound with anything - we had such a “phonic sound” in every room. Ira is here, but seems out of shape. Or takes a time out to think. Or furious that he didn’t come when she called. I don’t know, I’m tired of wondering what’s going on in the soul of the star Allegrova. All. Enough.

Ira called back three hours later, when I was already far away. I didn’t answer - I didn’t see the point.

Our love cannot be returned, but there is no need to worry about the rest. I went to the city of Kasimov Ryazan region- to relatives. There was nowhere to live in Moscow, and the capital was fed up. It was necessary to start life from scratch. I had a toothbrush, a car and a ballet character.

Having learned about our romance, the press wrote that Allegrova had found herself an unknown young dancer. This was, frankly, not true. By that time I had already developed a considerable biography - both personal and creative.

I have always worked a lot and hard, I am not used to relying on anyone. From the age of eight I stood at the barre at the Vaganova School - the best ballet school. educational institution countries. Everyone knows that there can be no lazy people among ballet dancers. From childhood it is drilled into our heads that there is only the word “must”.

“I can’t”, “I don’t want” are simply not in the vocabulary of people who sweat in dance classes every day. It doesn’t matter whether you are a soloist or a corps de ballet dancer. When you go on stage, you have to give one hundred and fifty percent.

The fact that I would become a ballet dancer was not discussed in our family. My parents had nothing to do with art, but my mother had such a dream. Dad once tried to object, saying, what kind of profession is it for a man to kick his legs on stage, but mom looked at him so much that the question was closed. Mom always “built” everyone - me, dad, my older sister. It’s funny: until she was eighty-three years old, she was a “commander” for us. Maybe that’s why Allegrova couldn’t get along with her - they have similar characters. But I quickly found mutual language with Ira, who, like her mother, was used to leading everyone.

I don’t know what my fate would have been like if I had accepted the invitation of the Leningrad State Opera and Ballet Theater named after M.P.

The singer's longest marriage - with the handsome dancer Igor KAPUSTA - lasted eight years. They were connected real love, but at some point the husband decided to separate: he left the house he built with his own hands, and the woman he was married to. After a divorce about a talented dancer long years neither his friends nor colleagues heard. We managed to find Igor and persuade him to talk about his marriage to Allegrova for the first time.
I spotted Igor in the crowd at first sight. A tall man entered the cafe on Tverskaya, where Kapusta had made an appointment, handsome man. The age of “nearly fifty” did not affect him - he has practically not changed since the time of Irina Allegrova’s video for the song “ Wedding flowers", where footage of the real wedding of this couple was used. I started the conversation with his disappearance from the world of show business.
- Igor, people in the party still remember you. They call you a talented dancer, stage director and wonder where you disappeared to.
- I completely changed my social circle when I left Irina in 2001. I am engaged in business, got married, my daughter Sashenka is five years old. I recently became a grandfather: my son from his first marriage, Stanislav, gave birth to a daughter, I came from St. Petersburg to visit them in Moscow.
- After the famous Vaganova School, from which you graduated, and the Leningrad Music Hall, where you began your career, you danced for four years in the Recital group with Alla Pugacheva. How did you get into Allegrova’s team?
- “Recital” was the happiest time in my work. We made very good money, and working with Alla was a pleasure. But one day, during a tour in Greece, almost the entire cast decided to stay there. I also spent some time abroad, and when I returned, I found myself in a completely different country.

He left the Union and came to Russia. A masseuse friend who worked for Allegrova advised me to go to Ira. I came to her team together with a girl Tatyana from Recital, with whom I had lived together for several years. I soon discovered that Irina Alexandrovna had feelings for me. I admit that I suffered from her excessive attention and pretended not to notice anything. And that masseuse, Marina, constantly asked me: how do you like Allegrova? Is it true, beautiful woman? Thus, he and Ira reconnoitered the situation. My Tanya began to throw hysterics and scenes of jealousy. One day, after another showdown, I jumped out of the entrance, saw Allegrova’s “nine,” got into it, and we left. By the way, Ira’s song “The Hijacker” is just about that incident: she recorded it the very next day after the incident, and a week later she performed it on stage. Ira generally did everything quickly. Such Strong woman that a pillar can be moved by a glance.

- It is known that in 1993 you got married without going through the registry office.
- According to the law, people can’t get married without a stamp in their passport, so we went to church with our friends’ documents. Although eight years later we never made it to the registry office - those were very happy years.

Ira simply flew, and creatively she reached the peak of her popularity during her emotional takeoff. Before me, she never rested, but only worked. We bought our first good car- "Mercedes" and Honeymoon Let's go travel around Europe.
- Did you have family traditions?
- Certainly. At any time of the day I met Ira from tour. I wanted to go home together, without a driver. She gave the housekeeper a day off and cooked herself - tasty, elegant. In fact, Irina is a homebody and during the break between concerts she could not leave her apartment for weeks. I drew sketches of costumes and designed makeup. We had such a good time together! And as a woman she is magnificent. In our intimate relationships there was everything in abundance, even when she was very tired after the concert. I am grateful to Irina for many things.

The caring housewife Lala loves to pamper her relatives with delicious things: mother and grandmother Serafima Mikhailovna - pancakes, son Sasha - soup:

Why did you break up?
- Ira is a luxurious person, but with all her advantages there is also a disadvantage. Her huge mistake the fact that she lets everyone into her life. Drivers, masseuses, housewives instantly became her friends, forgot about their responsibilities and began to give her “practical” advice, which she appreciated. Some tried to get close to her because of money, others needed connections. I'm with it for a long time I struggled and then got tired of it. Trying to build everyone up, I began to disturb everyone in her house.
At the same time, she drove away those people who really treated Allegrova well. For example, a unique person, Igor Krutoy, was a frequent guest in our house, but I constantly had to reconcile them. As soon as I left my wife, they quarreled. One day I realized that I didn’t want anything anymore. He completed our country house and left. At the very beginning of our relationship, I told Irina: I came to you with one toothbrush, with one brush and I’ll leave. And so it happened.

- It turns out that you built a love nest and flew away.
- We bought a small dacha from Oscar Feltsman. The energy there was amazing, but there were no conditions. A bucket served as a toilet. The snow is knee-deep in winter, and in spring we get stuck in mud. But we still had a good time together. Ira left her two-room apartment to her daughter Lala. We didn’t plan to build a huge house, we just wanted to do some renovations, but then we went on vacation, during which close environment Ira launched a grandiose construction project. With the purchase of the dacha, we got into debt, plus the builders cheated us out of a lot of money. I had to take control of everything. “Ira, go on tour, and I’ll quit work and take care of the house,” I told my wife. I was pleased to build our nest. Considering the house our fortress, I asked Ira that we should live there just the two of us. In fact, the “nest” turned into a hostel. As soon as I flew to Odessa, we had a small business there, and Allegrova’s entourage came to the dacha. The relationship with her daughter was especially difficult. Lala ruined our marriage. She is an extremely complex person and barged into our lives whenever she wanted. It was impossible to have privacy in the big house; she turned my mother against me. At that time, Lala was 28 years old, and this child had never worked anywhere. Although she was already married and gave birth to Sasha. Ira, by the way, was categorically against her husband, but her daughter did as she liked.
- Why should a daughter interfere with her mother’s happiness?
- Do you know what women's envy is? The toad was strangling Lalu. She couldn’t come to terms with the fact that she lived in a two-room apartment, and we were in a mansion. But now all Irina’s love and the rest goes to her daughter. They say that water wears away stones - Lala became that water...
- After the breakup, did you see Allegrova?
- I maintain relationships with all my women, but I have never called Ira. The year before last she had a tour in St. Petersburg. I bought a front row ticket and listened to the entire concert. Ira saw me from the stage, but never looked me in the eyes.
- Tell me, have you ever been jealous of your ex-wife? She is such a beautiful, bright woman.
- She never gave reasons for jealousy. I admit that I cheated on her. But he did it so that Irina would not know about it. I didn't want her to get hurt. I always treated this man with great respect. Why did he change? Don't know. It’s hard for anyone to compare with Ira, but it’s not just me. We both missed something...


The relationship between CABBAGE and ALLEGROVA developed before our eyes older sister Igor - Galina, a famous St. Petersburg choreographer. In her opinion, real reasons parting beautiful couple much more serious than what the singer’s ex-husband told us.
“Igor took his wife to New Zealand shamans,” says Kapusta’s sister, Galina.
“Our mother, Roza Nikolaevna, still adores her former daughter-in-law, collects articles about her, takes care of photographs despite the fact that Allegrova broke up with Igor badly,” Galina Dmitrievna began the story. - Irina has a difficult character, but if she likes a person, she will give him everything. We were sure that this marriage of Igor was for life. No one was embarrassed that his wife was eight years older than him; the difference was not noticeable. Their relationship could be strengthened common child, but Ira could not give birth. She went to doctors for a long time. I even went with Igor to the shaman in New Zealand, where I stood under some magic tree, but nothing helped.
- Do you know why they started the conflict?
- As a rule, it all came down to alcohol. Igor could not see his wife drunk. She became very angry as the temperature increased, as if her brain was turning in the other direction. Countless times she wrote Igor a receipt that she would not drink again. “Igorechka,” she said, “I’ll just drink a little champagne.” Champagne was always followed by stronger drinks. I come to their wedding, and on the table there is a huge bottle of cognac, which I won’t be able to drink in six months. Irina’s narrow circle of friends drained her at once, after which everyone lay down and slept through the wedding. An hour and a half late! I remember how everyone jumped up and started looking all over the house for pants, bowties, and jewelry. Ira in the car a quick fix put on makeup.
- Did Irina love Igor very much?
- She was happy because she really won her husband back. Igor had another woman, Tatyana. Allegrova called her to a frank conversation and demanded that she give up her beloved man. Ira gave her money and asked her to leave the team. She provided her with work - she arranged for her lover to sing along with Kirkorov. After the breakup with my brother, Allegrova, as her employees said, could not come to her senses for two years and drank. There was no one else to hold her back.
Ira stayed with her grandson, mother and Lala. It’s unpleasant to remember, but Lala was always jealous of her mother. The girl was haunted by the fact that there was a man living nearby who could do everything: everything men's work, and also sew, knit, cook. At the same time, he is beautiful, but does not belong to her. Lala's character is much heavier than her mother's. There was such a case. When they bought a house from Feltsman, the composer asked to keep his housekeeper Tonya, who had lived there all her life, with them. A sweet, efficient woman did her job perfectly, without being annoying - she only spoke when she was asked questions. Igor and I loved to go into her little room, talk, and unwind. But one day my brother left for a long time, and when he returned, he found out that Lala had sent Tonya to a nursing home.
Over time, cameras appeared in Allegrova’s house, everything was monitored, and the person felt like he was in a golden cage. The isolated cases when Igor and Ira were left alone, the brother calls the most happy moments in life.

P.S.
Of course, we wanted to hear Allegrova’s opinion. Having called Irina Alexandrovna, we heard the voice of her daughter.
“Mom is away,” Lala answered. - She will talk to you if she wants, but only in two months. We are not Philip Kirkorovs or Alla Pugachevs - we don’t need PR, we pack the halls anyway. Now you can only write that their marriage with Igor Kapusta has long been debunked.

On May 15, 2018, Igor Kapusta died in a St. Petersburg hospital. A former dancer, he was involved in business in the 2000s until he was jailed on drug charges. The man spent five years in the colony.

His ex-wife all this time she continued to sing on the stage: even if Irina Allegrova was worried about what happened to Kapusta, outwardly she did not make it clear. Known for its strong character, one day Irina simply crossed out of her life the man she had married before God.

Hijacker


They met in the early 90s, when another turning point occurred in Allegrova’s life. She broke up with her third husband, Vladimir Dubovitsky, and began solo career and she intended to remain “solo” in life - her previous relationships were too disappointing. But a meeting with Igor Kapusta changed everything.

The dancer came to join Allegrova’s team together with his girlfriend Tanya. Both have performed together for a long time, managed to work with Alla Pugacheva, live abroad and return to Moscow. Tanya did not approve of the idea of ​​“being a backup dancer for her aunt,” but Igor persuaded her. Allegrova was not “Aunt” in those years, but the age difference with Kapusta was indeed impressive - a whole nine years. After several concerts, Igor realized that the singer distinguished him and Tanya from other dancers: while others lived in a hotel, Irina accommodated them in her apartment and had long heart-to-heart conversations.


Once in St. Petersburg, when Tanya spent the night with her parents, Allegrova called Igor to her place. It was clear to both of them why - only Cabbage, according to him, hoped that having received what she deserved, the singer would calm down. And in the end he lost peace.

The first night together was followed by others, and Irina began to show feelings for her colleague in public, not embarrassed even by Tanya. At first she endured it, and then decided to take a desperate step: in the presence of Igor, she faked suicide, pretending that she had swallowed pills. When the doctor exposed the girl, Kapusta became furious and ran out of the house. Allegrova’s “nine” stood at the entrance: she was worried why he had not been in touch for a long time, and decided to go to her lover’s house. Since then, Cabbage began to live with her, and in memory of that evening the song “The Thief” appeared.

Wedding


They lived happily for several months, not worrying too much about what people said. They talked a lot: about the fact that Kapusta had found himself a “rich girl”, and about the fact that for Allegrova this was a misalliance. She simply enjoyed every happy minute with her beloved, who helped her forget about her for a while. terrible tragedy: It was at this time that her beloved father was dying of cancer.

Igor quickly found a common language with him. When Alexander Grigorievich was allowed to go home from the hospital for a while, they talked a lot and joked. It seemed to the old man that his daughter had finally met a man with whom she would be happy. To please his “father-in-law,” Igor invited Irina to get married - and she agreed. The ceremony took place on May 8, 1994. Footage of their wedding ceremony was later included in Allegrova’s video “Wedding Flowers”: they show the sincere, genuine feelings of the lovers.

Kapusta did not aspire to join the registry office - he believed that a ritual before God was more important than a civil one. And besides, he considered this additional evidence that he did not need any material assets from Allegrova. Only many years later it would become clear that she was still waiting for an official proposal and a stamp in her passport from him. Two weeks after their wedding, Irina Allegrova’s father died. For several months she could not find the strength to get up on stage again - but Kapusta insisted that she needed to work. And then, almost by force, he took her on vacation to Europe, during which the singer again felt a taste for life.

After returning to Moscow, he came up with a new goal for her: construction country house. Irina happily accepted the idea, and then entrusted her husband with the management of the project. She herself had to continue to tour - and this was the beginning of their gradual separation from each other. “I volunteered to do economic activity, wanted to make Ira’s life easier. And as a result, he began to lose her. Ira toured a lot, was very tired, and there were still a lot of well-wishers, they whispered from all sides: you’re falling off your feet, you’re earning money, but yours is kicking ass, enjoying a wonderful country life,” Igor himself explained in frank interview"Seven days." The man denied cheating on his wife, of which he was accused. Be that as it may, he left their house in the fall of 2000 - Allegrova did not hold him back. After the death of her mother, her family began to consist of her daughter Lala and grandson Sasha.


...In 2011, Igor Kapusta publicly announced his desire to see Irina again in order to talk about their relationship again. She didn't react at all. A year later, the man was convicted of transporting drugs. Allegrova sent him parcels and packages to the colony a couple of times, but did not come for visits. Church marriages are considered eternal, so their romance remained “unfinished” until May 15, 2018. On this day, Igor Kapusta, who had undermined his health in the colony, died of pneumonia.

On the night of May 15, her ex-husband died in one of the hospitals in St. Petersburg Russian singer Irina Allegrova Igor Kapusta. According to the relatives of the ex-husband of the 66-year-old artist, Kapusta died in the clinic, where he went for a routine medical examination.

However, while already in the hospital, Igor contracted an infection, which soon developed into pneumonia.

Kapusta was transferred to intensive care, but doctors were unable to save his life. The fact of death was confirmed by Igor’s sister, Galina. “Today at one o’clock in the morning Igor died. He is no longer with us,” the publication quotes the woman.

Igor Kapusta was Allegrova’s fourth husband - married to famous singer the man was a member in 1994-1999.

Irina, who at that time was already a national pop star, met Igor through her touring activities: Kapusta was one of the dancers in her team.

According to some information, the lovers did not formalize their relationship at the registry office, having gotten married under other people's names.

In 2012, Kapusta was accused of drug trafficking, as a result of which he had to spend five years in prison in the Leningrad region.

At the same time, the man’s relatives allegedly said that Allegrova’s ex-husband did not commit any crime and that someone framed him. Igor himself also did not admit his guilt.

Upon release in last year, Kapusta took part in the filming of one of the talk shows on, where, among other things, he told how he lived behind bars, and also, naturally, talked about his relationship with the People’s Artist of Russia.

Speaking about the liberation itself, the man then admitted that he had been waiting for this moment for a very long time. At the same time, he emphasized that he “burned out” when he was released.

“Five years is a long time. There are no sensations yet. I came out stunned, looking at the street, looking at it all with completely different eyes,” Igor told reporters.

- No, I didn’t go wild - I just always lacked communication. A lack of communication is scary, of course. All my friends left earlier, I was the only one left there. There is simply no one to communicate with. I had to remain silent for days and went into reading.”

As you know, one of the main reasons for the separation of Kapusta and Allegrova was her husband’s betrayal - the singer herself publicly reported this at one time. “I couldn’t survive a purely physiological betrayal,” the artist emphasized.

Cabbage, however, in turn, emphasized that he did not cheat on Irina morally.

“Treason... This can be assessed in different ways. “I didn’t cheat on her spiritually,” the man said after finishing prison term. “In the end, I ran away from her. I just ran away… I’m really tired.”

After the breakup, close couples repeatedly noted that Kapusta dealt Allegrova a severe psychological blow and she never forgave him for what he did. Igor himself believes that the former lovers simply “ruined each other’s lives.”

“We just ruined our lives. It’s painful and offensive, because she had everything for love, and for everything in general,” the former dancer said a year ago. — Each of us had our own ambitions: I had them, she had them. But living now, today, yesterday - no.”

At the same time, Cabbage admitted more than once that he tried in every possible way to meet his old love.

“I really want to meet and from there we can continue to “dance.” But it’s my business to offer, and her business to refuse, probably,” Igor shared last year. - I have with everyone former women wonderful relationships, I’m friends with them - except for one. Feelings? Of course have".

Irina Allegrova started musical career in various ensembles and groups, and since the early 90s she began performing solo.

In 1992, her first album was released, called “My Wanderer” - around the same years, the singer became a real star Russian stage and began to regularly give concerts at the largest venues in the country.

In 2010, Allegrova, by presidential decree, received the title People's Artist Russia.

Igor Kapusta was given drugs by his business partner

Ex-husband Irina ALLEGROVOY - 52-year-old Igor KAPUSTA was detained in June last year: the police found about 2 kg of hashish in the car he was driving. That day, Igor’s Jaguar was in a car service center, and he had to get behind the wheel of a friend’s car. It was there that the bag of drugs was found. As a result, Kapusta was sentenced to six years. His Native sister Galina does not give comments to anyone, but for us, who was the first to write about this misfortune, she made an exception.

For a year now, Igor Kapusta’s sister Galina has been living in two cities: she has a house and family in St. Petersburg, and her brother is on trial in Moscow. All worries fell on her shoulders - in fact, she was the only one who did not abandon Igor in difficult times. Galina went to all the courts, went on dates with her brother, and communicates with lawyers.
- Galina Dmitrievna, information has been spread on the Internet that your brother was sentenced to six years...
- My brother and I have been going through these circles of hell from the very beginning and will go through them to the end. At first, Igor was accused of all charges related to drugs - acquisition, storage, and sale. But in the end, only one article was left - “Transportation of narcotic drugs.” My lawyers and I considered the verdict unfair and filed an appeal.
Until recently, Igor was kept in solitary confinement in Matrosskaya Tishina. Everything there is very strict - for a long time they only allowed one date, I was on it with Stas, Igor’s son from his first marriage. I saw my brother and didn’t recognize him - he quickly lost 15 kilograms from stress. “My health is melting before my eyes: my eyesight is falling, an inguinal hernia has popped out, I’m thinking with horror about my teeth,” Igoresha admitted to me.

And at the end of June, Igor was unexpectedly transferred to special detention center No. 5. There they began to cruelly mock him. He was placed in a cell with inveterate repeat offenders. Igor was beaten every day, the “godfather” assigned him a place under the bed - there he lay for several days. They didn’t let him out, they kicked him and didn’t let him sleep. Information quickly spread throughout the pre-trial detention center that he was Allegrova’s husband, a businessman, so his cellmates began to threaten that they would “let him go” or kill him if he did not give them money. When I found out about this, I turned to the prison authorities, but they pretended that there was nothing like this. And after a few sleepless nights Igor was brought to trial. He looked terrible! He rushed to me: “Galya, do everything, but transfer me to another cell, otherwise they will destroy me!” In the end, I managed to get my brother transferred to the Volokolamsk pre-trial detention center.

Now Igor is in a pre-trial detention center in Volokolamsk, not far from where he was detained,” continues Galina Kapusta. - The conditions there are not the best, but he endures. I know that my brother did not violate anything, but he was caught at the scene of the “crime” - he will still have to answer. But will the people who slandered and framed him be able to live with a clear conscience?

Who are these people?
- These are Igor’s business colleagues. My brother was selling sausages and pates, and he also had 15 mobile payment terminals in St. Petersburg. Last year, a major deal was concluded between him and his partner. But this man wanted to take all the money for himself, so he needed to remove Igor. Now it is clear that this man broke Igor’s Jaguar on purpose. He said: “Ride mine!” Riding in the car with Igor was his wife Vera - she was also threatened with prison. The brother could not leave his seven-year-old daughter Sasha without a mother, so he took all the blame on himself. But since the drugs were found in a car belonging to Igor’s business partner, he did not remain free for long.

What do the lawyers say?
- We spent a lot of time and money on one dishonest lawyer. A lawyer we know volunteered to help, but demanded 2.5 million rubles. For this money, he promised to get Igor out in a couple of days. We didn't have that kind of money, but he got something. However, he deceived us - he wanted to buy an apartment at our expense, while he understood that Igor’s case was unpromising. Now Igor’s influential friend has recommended good lawyers - they are doing everything possible to reduce the term.
According to Express Gazeta, Igor Kapusta’s influential friend is Irina Allegrova, who has been married to him for seven years.

Bear in mind
* Irina Allegrova’s first husband was the father of her daughter Lala, basketball player Georgy Tairov.
* The second husband, Vladimir Blekher, also visited places not so remote - he was imprisoned for currency fraud. IN Soviet times this was a serious article. Irina quickly filed for divorce to avoid falling out of favor with the authorities.
* Soon the singer married for the third time - to musician Vladimir Dubovitsky.
* Igor Kapusta became the fourth husband of the artist. Even the wedding did not save the couple from divorce.
