Grigory Malygin died at the age of 43. What was the cause of death famous artist, unknown. The day before, Grigory was undergoing treatment and was in the hospital. What happened after the visit to the clinic is unknown, but for some reason the showman’s health worsened. It is too early to talk about the cause of death - experts have not yet given their conclusions.

The dead Grigory Malygin was discovered by his wife Victoria when she couldn't open the door to their own apartment on Vishnyakovskaya street. She even had to call the Ministry of Emergency Situations. “To get into the apartment, I had to call the Ministry of Emergency Situations, because the door was locked from the inside. When we broke the door and were able to go in, we found Grisha, who was lying in blood,” Victoria Malygina told the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.

Let us note that Malygin and his wife Victoria left Siberia long ago - within five recent years they lived in Moscow. As his friend and colleague Vladimir Duda admitted, Gregory had grandiose creative plans. Among the closest ones is participation in the “Big Difference” festival.

The head of the Cheerful and Resourceful Club, Alexander Maslyakov, commented on the tragic incident: “This is very sad news. There are KVN teams that are in the game, but there are teams that remain so in life. The “Children of Lieutenant Schmidt” were exactly such a team, and Grisha’s great merit is in this. He periodically appeared at the games, and recently they celebrated their team’s birthday in Moscow.”

Grigory Malygin led the KVN team "Children of Lieutenant Schmidt" since 1996. This team, having broken into the Major League of the Club, became the winner in the first season, and then won the highest prize - the Champions Cup. Since 2008, Malygin has headed the company of the same name creative association, mainly performed solo and in duets with teammates at various concerts and corporate events.

Malygin managed to star in several films. He has worked in the TV series “Happy Together”, “My Fair Nanny”, “Scribblers”, “Moscow - Central District”, as well as the main role V feature film"Day of the Hamster"

A few days ago, fans of the KVN team “NATE” rejoiced, because the club managed to reach the major league based on the results of the festival in Sochi. The comedians themselves reported this. They were able to impress the jury with their jokes, and therefore took one of the first places at the event.

However, just a few days later it became clear that the star team had suffered a real tragedy. One of the team members, Sergei Balenko, died. His friends hastened to tell about this in in social networks, without indicating the reason for what happened.

“On January 19, 2018, our brother and friend, Sergei Balenko, passed away. He died too early and could have done so much more. My thoughts are confused, I don’t want to believe it,” club representatives said.

According to media reports, the tragedy occurred in Rostov-on-Don. However, it is still unknown what happened and under what circumstances Balenko died. Fans of the comedian were shocked by the news. They rushed to express their condolences to the star’s family and friends. “I remember Seryozha well on stage. He was always so fiery, just glowing with enthusiasm and energy,” “I understand that it’s tactless to ask, but what happened? There is no information anywhere about the cause of death,” “When young people pass away, it is always a tragedy. I can’t even imagine how hard it is for the guy’s parents now,” wrote the young man’s fans.

Sergei's friends decided to support his relatives financially. They opened a fundraiser and asked everyone who cared to transfer money to Balenko’s mother, which will be used to organize the funeral. In the first hours of the campaign, a decent amount was collected. Club representatives also called for tolerance and not asking questions regarding the cause of the incident.

“Friends, the number of messages that each of us receives, the support that you provide, is simply beyond any calculation. We cannot answer the question: “What happened?” until we ourselves are 100% sure of the information,” said members of the team.

Some fans of the NATE team suggested that Sergei took his own life. However, the majority of the club's fans came to the conclusion that such a conclusion was irrational. The fact is that Balenko’s humorous career was on the rise. The team reached the major league of KVN, and the deceased was considered one of its main stars.

“Today our Vova Duda died. Stroke. After the operation and all possible measures that the doctors in Novosibirsk were capable of, they did everything that was needed and everything that they could. We, not doctors, from different parts of the world tried to hold him, asked, begged, prayed, but no matter what, I decided. It's somehow... offensive, or something. Well, in general, as always.

Vovka is an absolutely conflict-free person, this is how it happens, yes, I have rarely seen such people in my life. Nice, cheerful and very kind and decent. It's funny that he was the one who took my mother's cat in after her death. Some unlucky cat. And a year. “I still love you,” Lazareva wrote.

“Sad news for Planet KVN. Vladimir Duda, captain, died in Novosibirsk legendary team Novosibirsk State University,” the post says. “MC KVN offers condolences to family and friends.”

The TV presenter, actor and comedian also commented on Duda’s death.

“We studied at the same faculty as Vladimir Duda. KVN began with a faculty club - a humorous Club of Mathematicians. One of bright people“The one I paid attention to was him,” RT quotes him as saying. “He’s one of the first people who got me started doing comedy.” I have the warmest bright memories associated with him. Friends from the faculty, from KVN, from life.”

Duda graduated from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Novosibirsk State University, was a member and captain of the NSU university team, which became the champion of the KVN major league in 1987-88, 1991 and 1993.

According to the comedian, he got into KVN by accident.

“In fact, it all started back in FMSU. My roommate and I sang songs for money in the cafeteria. There, some songs were for three kopecks, some for five, some for ten. They even organized entire concerts - well, also for money, of course. They also sang in the hostel. It all ended after another classmate bought a subscription to all the performances, taking us to the cafeteria,” Duda recalled in an interview with the university website. — After that, we somehow became uninterested, the business faded. Well, then somehow it happened. The path is standard: mathematics department, “Office of the Divanov Brothers”, KVN.

I was a fairly well-known figure in the Kontor, so in general there was never any question of whether or not to include me in the team. Starting from applications, from qualifying performances, and until the very end.”

He said that when the NSU team made it into the league and they were shown on TV, the participants felt like real stars.

“I remember after the first game I was hugging two girls I knew from the physical and technical school, and Guzman was walking towards me and said: “Girls, something talented is hugging you.” Well, that’s all: naturally, I became proud there,” admitted Duda.

Last September, another iconic comedian died - one of the creators of KVN and the TV show " Good night, kids" Andrey Menshikov. At that time he was 72 years old.

For the President of the International KVN Union, Alexander, Menshikov’s death was a complete surprise. “This piece of my life somehow passed away and disappeared, because Andrei played in KVN in his youth, then we met in the Youth Editorial Office and worked together,” Maslyakov said.

According to him, Andrei Menshikov was one of the initiators of the revival of KVN in 1986.

“You can’t forget all this. And this is in my memory and in the memory of the colleagues with whom we worked. Andrey is my colleague and friend, and this is forever,” said Maslyakov.

"Incredible sad story. We didn’t communicate for many years, but I remember him all my life. Today is an incredibly sad day for me,” Salibov said. He remembered that he helped revive the legendary KVN in 1986.

“I wrote the song “We are starting KVN.” He really wanted to do it [revive KVN]. But there was a thought whether this should be done. There was a legend. It's always scary to revive a legend. I helped him,” said the composer.

According to him, together they made many programs, and he was amazed by Menshikov’s attitude to work.

“We worked together every day for 10 years. We made a lot of passes. He amazed me with his attitude towards what he did. He never considered himself a genius, unlike many. He was very calm about what he did. We all had normal, comradely grounds,” added Salibov.

Grief undermined their mother's health. She died in 2011, and Svetlana did not have time to tell her good news about what awaits the child.
