Irina Krug – popular pop singer, performs songs in the chanson style, the widow of the famous bard and singer in the chanson style Mikhail Krug.
Irina Viktorovna Glazko was born on March 29, 1976 in Chelyabinsk in an ordinary military family. Her mother worked as a draftsman, her father as an officer.
Childhood and youth
From the very early years Irina had great artistry and, like many girls her age, dreamed of becoming an actress. But the girl did not want to act in films; she was drawn to theatrical performances. It was for this purpose that little Ira was taken to the theater group of the Chelyabinsk House of Creativity.
In childhood
Ira also wanted to learn figure skating - after school she went to the skating rink and learned all kinds of figures on her own. But to the section figure skating they didn’t take her because the girl’s age was inappropriate - only very young children were taken there. But Irina’s life turned out completely differently, and she had to give up her dream of becoming an artist.
Immediately after graduating from school, Irina married her first husband and gave birth to a daughter, Marina, from him. However, the first marriage was unsuccessful - the husband's passion for drugs and alcohol destroyed their marriage. As a result, the marriage broke up, and young Ira was forced to raise her little daughter on her own.
It was necessary to get money from somewhere to support the family. Therefore, again putting aside her desire to become a theater actress, at the age of 21 Irina got a job as a waitress at the Malachite restaurant. It was there that her first meeting with Mikhail Krug took place, which changed the girl’s life forever.
Meeting with Mikhail Krug
In 1999, already famous at that time, came on tour to Chelyabinsk and decided to have dinner at the restaurant where Irina worked at that time. The girl was told to serve the star's table. Mikhail immediately noticed Ira and invited her to work on his team.
But to Krug’s great surprise, the girl immediately responded with a firm refusal, deciding that it was just a joke by the artist. But Mikhail Krug was serious. He asked the restaurant director for help, repeated his offer several times, but was always refused. The girl’s colleagues were amazed at her steadfastness. But in the end, Mikhail’s persistence won, and Ira agreed to the proposal.
The girl moved to Tver and worked there for more than a year as a costume designer for a chanson star. According to Irina’s stories, at first the famous singer was in no hurry to show his sympathy for her and looked closely for a long time, watched Ira’s behavior and tried more to get to know her.
He had been divorced for eight years and therefore was wary of starting a new relationship. Therefore, all this time, Mikhail kept his distance from the girl and behaved very reservedly. But a year later, the singer finally decided to reveal his feelings to the girl and revealed his desire to live with Irina.
One day he came to her and proudly declared: “That’s it, we’ll live together!” She happily agreed, and the couple began dating, not even paying attention to the big age difference - when they met, Ira was 23 years old, Mikhail was already 37 at that time.
The couple lived in civil marriage for more than a year, only then the young people decided to legalize their relationship. As Irina says, the idea of marriage arose spontaneously. The young people simply went to the store to buy groceries; they were dressed in ordinary tracksuits.
On the way to the store, Mikhail saw the registry office and was inspired by the idea of signing Ira here and now. The registry office immediately recognized the famous bard and quickly signed the couple. Mikhail and Irina Krug got married in 2001, Mikhail happily accepted Ira’s daughter from his first marriage into the family, and later the couple had a child common child. His parents decided to name him Alexander.
But Mikhail was not destined to babysit his son for long: when the baby was just a month old, Mikhail Krug was shot dead in his own home. As Irina says, she sensed something was wrong a week before the tragic events and asked Mikhail to hire security.
But her husband only laughed at his wife’s request. The poor widow was left alone with two children. It was after these tragic events that Irina decides to start a musical career.
Creation
After the death of her husband, Irina decides to move to Moscow to find a way to somehow feed her two children. There, Mikhail’s friend Vladimir Bocharov invited Ira to sing a couple of his husband’s songs. Irina agreed, although during Mikhail’s life she did not show herself as a singer and only sometimes sang along with her husband.
Irina Krug's debut turned out to be incredibly successful. After this, the newly minted star sang several more songs from her husband’s repertoire, which were intended for the singer’s next album. In 2004, Irina released her debut album, “The First Autumn of Separation,” recorded in a duet with a friend of the murdered bard, Leonid Teleshov.
A year later, Ira was presented in the “Discovery of the Year” category at the “Chanson of the Year” award. In 2006, Irina released her second album entitled “To You, My last love", produced by Vladimir Tsyganov. In the same year, the singer graduated with honors from Tverskoy State University in the direction of management.
Since 2007, the singer has been singing in a duet with Sergei Bryantsev. The star duo already has two albums. On this moment Irina’s discography already includes eight albums, while the star continues to tour throughout the country, performing both her own songs and famous songs from my husband's repertoire.
Her concerts are often attended by fans of Mikhail’s work. In 2012, the star received the “Chanson of the Year” award for the song “To You, My Last Love.”
After the death of her second husband, the singer stopped her vigorous pop activity for some time, but having survived the loss loved one, Irina returns to the stage in 2014 and immediately receives the “Chanson of the Year” award for the song “It’s not scary to love.”
Before this, in the summer of 2013, the singer shared her painful situation with her fans on the program “Let Them Talk.” Apparently this became a turning point in the singer’s life, when she finally decided to let go of the situation and start not only her personal, but also her creative life over a new leaf.
Already at the end of 2014, the singer’s creative website appeared on the Internet, where the best tracks of the performer for all the years of her work were posted. In addition to songs and videos, the site also contains information about the singer’s biographical information and a schedule of upcoming performances and tours.
In 2016, the singer began her active creative work. In 2016, she again received the “Chanson of the Year” award, but for the song “Chanel”, and in 2017, Irina Krug performed one of her songs live on Channel One. And already in September 2017, the singer went on tour to several cities of Russia, and in the capital she gave her concert in the Meridian hall.
Personal life and husband of Irina Krug
Irina grieved for a long time for her murdered husband. But 5 years after Mikhail’s death, Irina’s personal life improved again, and the singer got married for the third time. Became the chosen one famous businessman Sergey Belousov. Many began to condemn Irina and accuse her of allegedly betraying her husband’s memory. Ira answered these reproaches honestly: “Mikhail is the best thing that happened in my life. I often dream about him."
Her star rose unexpectedly and shone very brightly on the musical horizon. Irina Krug is treated differently. Some call her the queen of chanson, while others believe that she absolutely cannot sing and takes advantage of the fame of her late husband.
Life in Chelyabinsk
Irina was born in Chelyabinsk into a military family. And although from an early age she dreamed of becoming an artist and attended creative clubs, she was very far from realizing her dream. Everything in her life was changed by chance. She met Mikhail Krug, who came to the restaurant for dinner. It was in this restaurant that Irina worked as a waitress.
After meeting her, her life changed dramatically and began to resemble more of a fairy tale about modern Cinderella. A ray of hope shone ahead for yesterday's waitress that her destiny to become an artist would come true. And soon this dream became a reality.
The girl dreamed of success and popularity, but in reality her life turned out somewhat differently. After graduating from school, Irina got married and gave birth to a daughter, Marina. But family life wasn't smooth. Soon it became unbearable to live with her husband and the decision was made to divorce.
So Irina was left with a little daughter in her arms, without education and livelihood. The only way out for her was to work as a waitress. This way she could somehow support her family.
She would have continued to work as a waitress if chanson singer Mikhail Krug had not visited Chelyabinsk on tour. He turned out to be the restaurant's guest of honor, and Irina served his table. And so a fateful acquaintance took place, which dramatically changed the girl’s life.
Cinderella story
A few hours after meeting Mikhail invited the girl to go with him and work as a dresser for him. The amount he announced as salary was so large for Irina that she was ready to immediately agree. But, after thinking a little, she did not dare to go with the singer, since she still had a very young daughter.
Mikhail went on tour, and Irina remained to work in the restaurant. She could not forget this meeting for a long time. A year later, the director of the Circle contacted the girl and repeated her job offer. This time she agreed and moved to live and work in Tver.
Irina could not even imagine that Mikhail Krug fell in love with her from the first minutes of their meeting. For some time, from the beginning of her work with the singer, he did not show any signs of attention to her. They communicated, but their communication was exclusively business. This went on for about a year.
Interesting notes:
Then Mikhail simply approached the girl and said that with today she moves in with him and they will live together. During the time they worked together, Irina managed to get used to the singer and fall in love with him, so although the offer was unexpected, she agreed to move.
Irina and Mikhail’s wedding was also non-standard. The woman recalls that she and Krug just went out to the store. The road there passed by the registry office. Then Mikhail suggested coming in to formalize their relationship. So the couple became husband and wife. They signed in their tracksuits, drank a glass of champagne and went to their apartment.
Life after the death of her husband
Irina was happy with Mikhail; he adopted her daughter from her first marriage. Marina fell in love with her new father and considered him family. The singer himself also said more than once that he was lucky with Irina. It was easy and warm with her. The wife had a calm character and devoted all her time to her family.
Their love story continued. Soon after the wedding, Irina found out that she was expecting a child. In 2002, the couple had a son, whom they decided to name Alexander. But that same year, a terrible tragedy occurred in the family.
Unknown people broke into the house where the family lived. First they attacked Irina's mother and began to strangle her. Irina and Mikhail came running at the noise. That's when the attackers opened fire with a pistol. To protect his wife, Mikhail covered her with his body. He himself received two gunshot wounds, from which he later died.
For a long time, Irina could not come to her senses after what happened. Her husband's friends and colleagues helped her cope with grief. It was friends who suggested that Irina perform a previously unreleased song, thereby honoring the memory of her husband. Irina agreed, and the experiment was received quite warmly by the audience.
After that she performed several more songs. This was followed by a concert dedicated to the memory of Mikhail Krug. On it, Irina and his colleagues performed already known songs, as well as those that he did not have time to sing.
Gradually, the musical career of Krug’s wife gained momentum. She recorded albums and toured all over Russia. The artist was repeatedly awarded the “Chanson of the Year” award as the best performer. So, despite the tragedy in her life, her cherished dream of becoming an artist came true.
Third marriage
In 2006, Irina married for the third time. Her husband was not a public person, but businessman Sergei Belousov. A woman prefers not to talk about the details of dating and the development of relationships. She only says that the children were able to accept the new man in their family and love him.
The news of Irina's marriage caused a wave of criticism against her. Many considered such an act to be a betrayal of the memory of Mikhail Krug. However, another part of the fans supported the singer. In their opinion, she should have continued to live fully and meet her love. The woman herself says that before the wedding she dreamed of Michael in the form of an angel and blessed her marriage.
The wedding of Irina and Sergei took place quietly in one of the capital's registry offices. After the painting, the newlyweds with close friends and relatives went to a restaurant to celebrate this event.
The couple tries to live quietly without drawing attention to their family life. In 2013, they had a common son, whom they named Andrei. In connection with this, Irina took a short break from her career and devoted herself to raising a child. When her son grew up a little, she took up singing with renewed vigor.
Irina Krug with children Such vigorous activity negatively affected her marriage. At the beginning of 2018, information began to appear in the press that Irina Krug’s third marriage was bursting at the seams. But the singer and her husband were able to find the strength within themselves and solve all the problems. Now they are back together and continue to live happily.
One can have different attitudes towards the work of this singer, the genre of songs she performs, and her vocal abilities, but it must be admitted that she has worthily continued the work of her famous husband- the idol of millions.

Childhood and youth
Ira Glazko was born on March 29, 1976 in Chelyabinsk. Her father at that time served in the army with the rank of officer, and her mother worked as a draftswoman in one of the design bureaus. Like most Soviet girls, Irinka loved watching melodramas since childhood, fell in love with beautiful and noble movie characters and dreamed of becoming an actress herself. And this was not just a whim, a whim of a young lady, but a truly serious hobby. As a schoolgirl, she entered the theater group of the Chelyabinsk House of Culture, where she selflessly played in many performances.
In her youth, Irina (then still a brunette, as can be seen in the photograph), a romantic and enthusiastic person, easily won the sympathy of men. One of her next loves ended with a trip to the registry office - the girl was not even 20 at that time. Soon the couple had a girl. The daughter was named Marina.
However, family life did not work out for the young parents. Ira found out that her husband is addicted to drugs, alcohol and also goes to the left. It got to the point that during a quarrel he almost rushed at her with a knife. There could be no question of further life together.
To support herself and her daughter, Ira got a job as a waitress at the Malachite restaurant. It was in this establishment that the fateful meeting of a modest catering worker and a singer of the tavern genre, which was gaining popularity, took place.Meet Mikhail Krug
In the second half of the nineties, the most popular song genre in the country became the so-called chanson - a style based on criminal prison lyrics, coupled with simple pop melodies. It was approximately in this vein that the former milk tanker driver Misha Vorobyov, who took the creative pseudonym Krug for his performances, composed his songs. To be fair, it should be admitted that Krug’s song material was somewhat out of line general concept“thieves' song”, since the performer’s baggage included compositions with an emphasis on bard song and even with claims to philosophy and seriousness.
Once the singer was on a tour of the cities of Siberia (it was 1999), and naturally he could not pass by Chelyabinsk. After one of the concerts, Mikhail stopped by the Malachite restaurant to have dinner and have a good rest. It was Irina who served his table that evening. The man immediately liked the pretty and clever waitress (photo by Irina Krug from that period).
Without thinking twice, he invited the beauty to come work for him as a costume designer. The offer turned out to be so unexpected that the pretty woman was confused and initially refused. However, the persistent chansonnier was not going to give up. A few days later, the concert director of the Circle called Irina and, on behalf of his friend, called her back to their team. This time the woman did not push herself too hard by giving her consent. Soon she left her daughter in the care of her parents and followed the troupe to Tver, where she was contracted for the promised position.Video: About love for Mikhail Krug
At first, the loving gentleman did not show his feelings in any way. Both were emphatically intelligent, polite, and addressed each other as “you” and by their first and patronymic names. From the outside it seemed that Mikhail Vladimirovich was assessing his chosen one, taking a closer look at her before taking a responsible step and declaring his love.
After some time, the man gathered his courage, explained himself and offered his hand and heart to the lady who had charmed him. By that time, Irina also already had tender feelings for her boss, but, of course, she was waiting for the first step from him. And she waited.
In 2001, Mikhail and Irina got married (and this happened very spontaneously: the bride and groom showed up at the registry office in jeans and T-shirts) and without any hesitation they held a wedding celebration in a narrow circle of relatives and friends. Irina’s daughter calmly took what was happening and quickly found a common language with her mother’s new partner. After a short period of time, the girl was already calling her stepfather dad. And, I must admit, Mikhail treated his wife’s child from his first marriage with all the warmth.
The new wife tried to create family comfort in the house and surround her loved one with tenderness and care. And she did it well. Irina did the housework herself, getting by quite cheaply. big house without servants.
In May 2002, Irina made her husband happy with the birth of her son. The parents spent a long time choosing a name for the baby, but in the end they settled on the name Alexander. But the musician was not really able to enjoy the joy of communicating with his heir.
Alexander – Son of Mikhail Krug
Sashenka was barely a month old when his mother lost her peace. She began to have nightmares in which she lost her husband. Mikhail laughed at his beloved’s bad premonitions. It seemed to him that nothing could happen to him, because the entire criminal world listens to his songs with pleasure - who would dare raise a hand against their favorite performer!
Misha brushed off his wife’s requests to hire security. In general, during the life of the owner, their house resembled a passage yard. Someone was always staying in it, the doors practically did not close.
On the night of July 1, 2002 unknown people wearing masks they made their way into the singer’s home. They took refuge on the third floor, where Irina’s mother was staying with the couple at the time. When the bandits attacked an elderly woman, Ira and Mikhail were on the second floor. Hearing the sound of a struggle, the couple hurried upstairs. The robbers opened fire on them with pistols. Mikhail, covering his wife from bullets, received mortal wounds. Unable to withstand the tension, the attackers fled. The wounded man had to be transported in a neighbor's car. On the way to the hospital, the dying Krug encouraged his beloved, but it was not destined to save the singer...
Life after Mikhail's death
Irina for a long time I couldn’t get over the shock. Relatives, family friends and Mikhail’s creative colleagues came to support her. The investigation into the criminal case related to the murder of the singer, without delay, led to nothing. It was not really clear: whether the actions were professional raiders, or amateurs who did not intend to open fire, but after the incident they hastened to leave the crime scene. Later, it was assumed that members of the Tver Wolves gang were involved in the murder. Allegedly, they did not intend to rob Krug’s house, but carried out an order to eliminate the “king of chanson.” In 2012, the media reported that the murder of the chansonnier had been solved and one of the killers had been detained. It turned out that Krug refused to pay “tribute” to one Tver crime boss, for which he paid.
When the widow came to her senses, the comrades of the deceased offered to honor the memory of Mikhail by recording several songs. The works were written by Krug’s colleague, Vladimir Bocharov. It should be noted that Irina sometimes loved to sing in a small circle and jokingly asked her husband to record some joint number. Krug was skeptical about the singing talent of his other half and did not get involved in this adventure.
Creation
The woman responded eagerly to Bocharov’s proposal. And some time later, in 2004, the first album of the newly-minted singer Irina Krug, entitled “The First Autumn of Separation,” was released. To call the work solo would be wrong. Irina was assisted in the recording by a second vocalist - another friend of Krug - Leonid Teleshev.
Subsequently, the performer used the practice of a duet album more than once. In particular, while listening to Radio Chanson, Irina heard a song by the then little-known Voronezh singer Alexei Bryantsev. The timbre of the guy’s voice seemed to Ira very reminiscent of Mikhail Krug’s vocals. The guys met, talked and recorded a joint opus, “Hello, Baby.”
Irina Krug and Alexey BryantsevIn addition, Irina had joint projects with Viktor Korolev and... Mikhail Krug. Yes, yes, in 2011 a disc was released with previously unreleased recordings of the chansonnier, on which the vocals of his beloved woman were recorded using the overdubbing method.
Selected discography of the singer:- "Pretty Boy" (2008);
- “I can read it in your eyes” (2010);
- “Love is not scary” (2012);
- “Mother Love” (2015).
Singer Irina Krug has repeatedly received the “Chanson of the Year” award, and in 2017 she received the MUSICBOX prize in the “Urban Romance” category.
New husband
In 2006, the public learned that Irina Krug’s personal life had received a new development - the widow was dating a certain Sergei Belousov. And a little later it became known that the young people got married. Fans of Mikhail Krug initially regarded this step as a betrayal of the memory of their favorite performer, but gradually everything returned to normal. After all, if you think sensibly, life does not end with the death of one of the spouses, and Irina was only 30 years old, and she did not intend to imprison herself in a monastery. In addition, according to the woman, on the eve of the wedding, the image of Misha appeared to her in a dream, and he allegedly blessed her for a new marriage. Relatives treated the situation with understanding. Irina Krug’s third husband is far from music; he is a businessman.
Children of Irina Krug
We have already mentioned the daughter from her first marriage, Marina, in the biography of Irina Krug. However, as well as about Sasha, Mikhail’s son. The Vorobyov couple also had Dima, a son from his previous wife Svetlana, and before that tragic incident he lived with his father’s family. Then he was accepted to study in the cadet corps. Dmitry graduated from the University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and now serves in the police.
In September 2013, Sergei and Irina had a boy, who was named Andrey.

Irina Krug is not only engaged in creativity after the death of her husband. The woman took up her education and graduated from a university in Tver in 2005, receiving a diploma with honors in the specialty “manager”.
Personal life
After graduating from school, Irina Glazko got married and gave birth to a daughter, Marina. The marriage fell apart very quickly, and Irina had to get a job to support her family. The woman was hired as a waitress in one of the city bars. At that time, Glazko was 21 years old.
Irina worked as a waitress for two years. Once upon a time, the popular bard and chanson performer Mikhail Krug came to Chelyabinsk on tour ( real name Vorobiev). When the “king of chanson” looked into the establishment where Irina worked, the restaurant owner sent Glazko to serve the client’s table. Mikhail Vladimirovich immediately noticed the girl and immediately offered Irina a job as a costume designer. Moreover wage, promised by the Circle, was very impressive. But Irina refused, explaining that it was impossible to quit small child.
Irina Krug - "Let them talk"When the young woman had already forgotten about the tempting offer from the celebrity, the concert director of the Circle called Irina and repeated the offer. This time Irina agreed and went to Tver. This happened in 1999. For some time, Mikhail Krug did not show in any way that he was in love with his new dresser. The communication was emphatically intelligent, the couple addressed each other as “you”. It seemed that Krug was taking a closer look at the girl before deciding to take a responsible step. By that time, Mikhail Vladimirovich had been divorced for 7 years.
The marriage proposal was unexpected. It’s just that at one point the singer took the costume designer Irina home and announced that now they would live together. Mikhail Krug and Irina officially got married in 2001. The ceremony was not pretentious: the future spouses appeared at the registry office, as they say, “not on parade” - in tracksuits.
Soon Krug adopted Marina and surrounded the girl with care. She fell in love with her stepfather and began to call Krug dad. But the couple jokingly still called each other by their patronymics and continued to address each other as “you.” Mikhail was at ease with Irina, who had a calm, homely character. Together with his other half, the musician lived in perfect harmony.
In 2002, Mikhail and Irina Krug had a son, Alexander. But Sasha did not have time to remember his dad: that same year, the “king of chanson” was killed. According to Irina, the husband shielded the woman from the bullets and thereby saved her life.
As the artist later recalled, she foresaw trouble and several months before the tragedy asked her husband to hire security, but Mikhail did not agree. On the contrary, the doors in the house were practically not closed, and the guests replaced each other. On the eve of the attack, Irina dreamed heavy sleep, in which she saw a funeral service in their own home. In the dream, the woman began to look for her husband with her eyes, but did not find him. In the morning Mikhail on the story about strange dream he just laughed.
