Cord loves trinity

2016: Matilda + Sergey = love

Matilda - the third wife scandalously famous musician and motherfucker. Cord met his first wife, Maria Ismagilova, when he studied at the religious and philosophical institute at the Theological Academy. In 1993, the couple had a daughter, Serafima. But this marriage did not last long.

In the second marriage, with Svetlana Kostitsyna, Sergei had a son, Apollo, in 2000. But Shnurov did not stay in this family either. Actress Oksana Akinshina had a hand in discord in the family.

2005: with the young and quivering Oksana Akinshina, Cord never reached the registry office

A fatal acquaintance happened during the filming of the film "Games of the Moths", when Akinshina was not even 16 years old. But, having lived together for several years, the musician and actress never reached the registry office.

And then a girl from Voronezh, Elena Mozgovaya, appeared ...

2007: everything is just beginning. One of the first photos of future spouses

Yes, yes, it was Elena, because that was the name of Matilda in the birth certificate. Before meeting the leader of Leningrad, Elena managed to be in a relationship with the leader of the Voronezh group 7B Ivan Demyan, photographer Dmitry Mikheev, and even, according to rumors, met with actor Yevgeny Tsyganov. By the way, it was Dmitry Mikheev who invented for his adored passion at that time her very original name. And then, as they say, grew together. It has been on her passport for several years now.

Vrubel is “to blame” for everything

Or rather, his famous painting "The Swan Princess". Even in his youth, in the future leader of the Leningrad group, by his own admission, the beauty depicted in the picture aroused unchildish interest. And then he meets the beauty from the picture in real life. Well, how can you stand here?

Matilda and the Swan Princess by Vrubel

A mutual friend acted as a "matchmaker". This young lady lived in New York, flew to Moscow on some business and took a friend with her to one event.

“She went in, I was stunned. He asked: "Hey! What's your name?" She replied: "Matilda." I said: “go crazy,” recalls the first meeting with Matilda Shnurov. Despite all the changes, the musician did not leave obscene language in the lexicon. But love-carrots, it seems, happened at first sight.

First date ended in bed

Are you still wrestling with the question: is it okay to have sex on a first date? Then the experience of Matilda and Shnurov will definitely come in handy for you. At least, both assure that everything came to bed on the very first day of their acquaintance.

On the same day, when Cord first saw Matilda, the couple walked along the night Durasovsky Lane in Moscow. Seeing the sign of the hotel, Shnurov immediately invited his companion to look there for a light. Matilda pretended to be a fool, they say, why? Shnurov answered as is. Matilda, at that time no longer a resident of Voronezh, but a freshly baked Muscovite, did not refuse such a tempting offer. She, of course, did not think that in the future she would have to change the prestigious and desirable Moscow for life in a cultural, but still a second capital.

However, there was one romantic date after all. In any case, Shnurov and Matilda prefer to consider him as such. Having left for St. Petersburg to think about the eternal topic "how to live on", Sergei disappeared from Matilda's life for a week. No calls, no SMS, no emails e-mail. (Social networks at that time, consider that it didn’t exist!) But one fine day, or rather, early morning resounded in Matilda's apartment phone call: “I'm in Vnukovo. Get me out of here."

“I happily went there. Vnukovo, on January 2 or 3, an absolutely empty hall, the only working cafe with plastic tables and chairs, and Sergey is sitting in the very corner - with such a head, a bottle of champagne and a glass. And I realized: I ... something special began in my life. This blue champagne head is mine. In general, it was very romantic, ”the married Matilda later shared with reporters.

In the registry office from the refrigerator

You can’t call a marriage proposal either mi-mi-bear. Sergey was looking for sausage in the refrigerator, he could not find it, Matilda helped him. And he made an offer during this search. “Of course, it’s time already,” she answered without a moment’s hesitation.

Cord with his wife and guests were treated to melon with Parma ham, Piedmontese beef and Caesar salad with king prawns. Matilda drank champagne, Sergey - Mojito cocktail.

Hints of replenishment of the family was more than enough. At some point, Cord even picked up a baby - Vasily Barkhatov came to the wedding with his wife and newborn son. With a child in his arms, Cord began to pose for the photographers invited to the celebration - for the wedding album. They hinted at the imminent replenishment in the family and gifts. Friends gave the newlyweds ... a huge bright pink bouquet in the shape of a man's dignity. But for some reason, the Shnurovs still have no children. Although Matilda sacrificed a lot for the sake of her family and husband.

“We went to bed in the morning, and after a few hours we had to get up and go to the institute. But I felt happy, because my life was more than eventful, ”Matilda recalls that period.

But at some point, she realized that life with Shnur and exams in colloidal chemistry are quite difficult to combine. And she decided to completely immerse herself in her husband and the growing family business before our eyes.

Having become a gastronomic landmark of St. Petersburg, the restaurant has recently closed, but only then to open at a new, even more prestigious address.

And Matilda opened the Isadora ballet school in St. Petersburg, and absolutely for the sake of her own fantasies and ambitions, her star husband I didn't even touch on this story.

Judging by the photo of 2016, Cord's wife not only turned from Cinderella into a princess, but was also able to create a new image for her husband.

At the end of May, Sergei and Matilda Shnurov announced about. What exactly caused the divorce is still unknown. However, according to some sources, the couple's marriage broke up due to the infidelity of the musician. Matilda, who has not yet commented on her divorce from her husband, first spoke about him in detail in an interview with Esquire magazine. Here are some of her most interesting quotes.

About marriage

We lived together for eleven years, and, of course, we changed each other in some way. And in positive side. We went through different stages together. Living together with Sergey Shnurov is an experience of spiritual growth and self-knowledge, a test of humility and patience, unconditional love. We "pumped" this skill - we learned to love unconditionally.

About divorce

Do not try to interpret our divorce from Sergei Shnurov, because even I do not undertake to do this: life is very complex, multi-layered, and give an unambiguous answer to the question "what happened?" I can not. Maybe someday I'll write a book. I'm kidding, of course. Love story ended. I think that behind this parting, which we will survive, something positive will definitely happen. Won Sergei began to run marathons. It's great.

After a divorce, people think that they have done a lot and received not enough in return. Nobody is happy about a breakup. But I can say for sure: there was love on both sides, and on the part of Shnurov, it was also unconditional.

About the division of property

We have officially completed the divorce process with Sergei Shnurov. While we were together, everyone was engaged own business and the division of property went smoothly. I was in charge of the Cococo restaurant. Sergei was an investor. The project paid off. Sergei stayed with Leningrad, I stayed with Kokoko. I also have a ballet studio "Isadora". My surname also remains with me.

About future

Now my plans are completely unclear even to myself. When a relationship breaks down, some business saves. My restaurant gives me strength, gastronomy is interesting to me. Recently, I went to New York, talked to chefs, gastronomic critics and journalists. What will happen next, I don't know for sure. I have many interests and many options for what to do. Whether this occupation will be related to show business or not, I do not know. Perhaps I will go to get a second education - why not? I got free time. If you don't know what to do, go study.
