- Why was it decided right now to resume the case?
- This is not only my personal initiative. I am grateful to other people. I got a lawyer, very competent. She did and won a lot of things. With its help, with competently made papers, it turned out. It happened only yesterday. I was on the Investigation Committee. Naturally, I am still nervous, I can not come to my senses, because this is a significant event, and I did not expect it to work out.
Further, anticipating the next question, I will immediately say that for the time being I do not know what I am waiting for as a result. I am just glad that the case has been resumed, that some other circumstances will be revealed, something will become known.
I cannot comment very much, because yesterday I gave a non-disclosure subscription. I understand what you can talk about and what you shouldn’t. I have been asked so far to refrain from violent comments. Lawyer Nina Vasilievna Averina can tell all the details available for disclosure in the case.
- When was the case suspended?
- I can’t say for sure. To this extent, they did not give me access to the investigation materials. It is still ahead. But it lasted long enough. The lawyer knows this for sure because she understood the matter and communicated with a large number of people.
- In your opinion, did Igor Talkov be killed by Valery Shlyafman (concert director Igor Talkov. - RT)?
- This I will not comment. I hope the investigation will answer the question of what degree of his guilt.
- Over 27 years have passed. How is the memory of Talkov memorialized?
- There is a museum. Modest, but it exists. In the Center of Slavic Literature and Culture. Maybe it would be worth expanding it, I don't know. I heard they opened a monument in the homeland of Igor, in the town of Shchekino, Tula region. True, I did not really like it. I get information that somewhere there are streets in cities, somewhere there is a cafe. Sometimes I even tried somewhere to find something, if I was in cities, but I did not succeed. I know for sure that the memory is alive with the people. Television and radio are not very honored by Igor, he rarely sounds, and only lyrics, and his social things are still banned.
- You said that you are looking for places in which Igor's memory is immortalized. Organizers of memorable events do not invite you?
- Not. I do not even know about such places. Sometimes someone I know writes that they were there, they saw such a cafe, someone lives in a certain city, there is such a street. This I learn only from his fans. But I can not check. For this you need to go to this city.
- Tell us about the most memorable things for you, left after the death of Igor.
- All that is preserved is represented in the Igor Talkov Museum. There is a very reverent museum director Irina Petrishcheva. She is a philologist, and she initiated the creation of this museum. I started with photo exhibitions, then I got a museum. It is modest, quite homely, unlike any modern museums, although, perhaps, it is so good. It is clear that a lot of time has passed, far fewer people are already arriving, but still there are still visitors. Some specially go on excursions. Schoolchildren come. There is a book of reviews, it is beautiful.
Select the most memorable thing is difficult, there are many. Very strange posters of free concerts in the dining room. He began with slow steps, popularity did not come immediately. The pink Czech porcelain mug I gave him, and he drank from it only, she is touching. The buyer's card, when we had a complete goler in Russia, she stayed and there is such a card. Only Igor hardly used it, but nevertheless it is. The modern generation now cannot even imagine that we lived like this.

New life of old business
The case of the murder of Igor Talkov was suspended in 1993. The lawyer of the musician’s widow, Tatyana Talkova, Nina Averina, studied the materials and believes that there are all chances to bring the case to court and sentence: and it was suspended. "
The return of the investigation to the legal field will protect the family from various individuals posing as witnesses to the crime and women representing themselves as Talkov’s last love in various TV shows.
“To stop this orgy on behalf of Talkov and introduce everything into the legal field, we decided to apply to the Investigation Committee,” explained the lawyer.
According to Averina, there are two more reasons for the resumption of the investigation. First, the mother of Igor Talkov died, who was recognized as a victim. Since the case was not completed, the victims in the case were not officially established. Now such a status can be obtained by a widow, although the law does not preclude the recognition of both son and brother, that is, all close relatives, as victims.
In addition, in Russia, the legislation has changed, which now allows you to make a court decision in absentia. Valery Shlyafman, a suspect in the murder of Igor Talkov, fled to Israel. Israeli authorities refused to extradite him to Russian law enforcement agencies .
Finally, before many witnesses could hide some of the circumstances of the murder. But now they will not be held responsible for this, since the statute of limitations has expired, which means that now they can safely testify about the circumstances of Talkov’s death.
The lawyer noted that no one tried to attract these witnesses for giving false testimony. “The statute of limitations has expired. These witnesses can calmly speak the truth and not be afraid of anything, ”she said.
