Age of Matilda Corded. Sergei and Matilda Shnurov are getting divorced: what is known about the musician’s wife
It's hard to believe these days that people have another life besides the virtual one that takes place on social networks. Friends, watching my Instagram, think that I travel endlessly. This is not true - it’s just that when I work in St. Petersburg, I post almost nothing, I don’t have time. Real life is always a little different.
We have officially completed the divorce process. with Sergei Shnurov. While we were together, each of us was engaged in our own business, and the division of property was easy. I was involved in the Kokoko 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 last name also stays with me. Why do I need all this paperwork? Matilda is still Shnurova, despite the fact that she is no longer Shnurova. I made two statements that I considered sufficient. First: I am very grateful to people for the support they suddenly gave me. To be honest, I didn't expect it. I still receive letters and messages from strangers with kind words. People feel something and are often not mistaken. I would like to repeat: thank you for supporting me, but don’t look for someone to blame. Second: 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 to give an unambiguous answer to the question “what happened?” I can't. Perhaps I will write a book someday. Just kidding, of course. The love story is over. I think something positive will definitely happen behind this separation that we will go through. Sergei started running marathons. This is great.
We lived together for eleven years and, of course, we changed each other in some ways. And in a positive way. We went through different stages together. Life together with Sergei Shnurov is an experience of spiritual growth and self-knowledge, a test of humility and patience, unconditional love. We “pumped up” this skill - we learned to love unconditionally. True, I think if Sergei reads such lines, he will be indignant.

After a divorce, people think that they have done a lot, and in return they did not receive enough. Nobody is happy about parting. But I can say for sure: there was love on both sides, and on Shnurov’s side it was also unconditional. I'm not saying that I'm a perfect person.
Now my plans are completely unclear even to myself. When a relationship breaks down, something comes to the rescue. My restaurant gives me strength, gastronomy interests me. I recently went to New York and talked with chefs, gastronomic critics and journalists. And I don’t know exactly what will happen next. I have many interests and many options for what to do. Whether this activity will be related to show business or not, I don’t know. Perhaps I’ll go get a second education - why not? I now have some free time. If you don't know what to do, go learn.

I have loved music since childhood. At school I spent all my pocket money on CDs and books about rock musicians. I had a whole collection - from Led Zeppelin and AC/DC to Nirvana and The Prodigy. I heard Sergei Shnurov when I was 13 years old and bought the album “Dachniki”. But when I met him personally, I already knew his work thoroughly. For me, show business has always been something alluring. Even though I'm an introvert, I like expression. I lived in the best group in the country for eleven years. It was a wonderful life.
I was disappointed in people. Especially lately. But still, the most important thing that each of us has is human connections: with parents, with children, with friends, with loved ones. The loneliness we sometimes experience is imaginary. These are just emotions. This is fear: what if everyone turns away from me forever? Each of us definitely needs someone. Just don't look for a donor.

I don't have a high opinion of myself. I don't hide it. They write to me that I motivate and inspire. I don't know how I manage to do this. This has nothing to do with my self-esteem. But it is very pleasant and important for me to help someone. I have met many people who have lost motivation. It's usually a sad sight - young, beautiful, capable boys and girls doing nothing. They grow old at heart early. I would like people around me to have the opportunity to develop their own talents and create something. It doesn't have to be something big. But let them grow above themselves. If I can become an assistant to someone in this, I will definitely be one.
The talent to be a woman it is not to lose kindness, tenderness, warmth. Women's nature is to domesticate the wild, unyielding a little, to warm it up. There is nothing worse than a cold woman. ≠
Today it became known about the separation of the musician from his wife Matilda, and recently they swore eternal love to each other.
The 45-year-old leader of the Leningrad group shocked the public. The girls are in mourning: “There is no love!” The guys are sure: “Shnurov has a new girlfriend.” And these assumptions are not accidental: Sergei is a noble womanizer - there were always luxurious beauties next to him. But the musician was not often faithful to them.
Sergei Shnurov and Matilda (Elena Mozgovaya) seemed like an ideal couple, but something went wrong. And, it seems, we know that... We analyze all the love stories of Sergei Shnurov to make sure what a loving man he is.
First wife
Sergei met his first wife Maria Ismagilova during his student years - they studied in the same course at the Religious and Philosophical Institute at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy. Shnurov fell head over heels in love, quickly proposed and soon happily awaited the birth of his first child. At the age of 20, Sergei became a father - the couple had a daughter, Seraphim. In order to support his family, the man gave up both his studies and music lessons. “I left in my third year, because by that time I had my first child, I had to feed my family, and the ancient Greek language and the Old Testament had nothing to do with money. I had to give up spirituality and pursue concrete money,” Shnurov explained his incomplete education. — Sima appeared in my life when I was 20, and with her birth she saved my life. At that time, all my friends had switched from marijuana to heroin, and I switched to a child.”

But Sergei Shnurov was passionate about music, careless, and Maria did not share his “libations” with musicians and absences from home. Sergei Shnurov did not want to stop his free lifestyle for the sake of his daughter - he preferred a divorce. The couple lived from 1992 to 1996. The ex-wife did not allow him to communicate with his daughter, and Shnurov’s lifestyle while the child was growing up was far from ideal - drinking, women, noisy companies...
And even when Sergei Shnurov with the Leningrad group became the idol of millions with his “alcoholic ska-punk,” the ex’s heart did not thaw. The daughter began to communicate with her father when she became independent.
Second wife
Sergei Shnurov's second marriage was also short-lived: from 1999 to 2002. Svetlana Kostitsyna was an advanced music manager. The woman led the Pep-C group and began organizing concerts for the Leningrad group. Financially, the musician’s life was gradually improving (although the salaries of the 21st century were still far away). In 2000, Svetlana gave birth to Sergei’s son Apollo. Soon the musician began to become interested in young girls. It is unlikely that even the wisest wife could have liked this. The couple divorced, but Svetlana and Sergei continued to work together for some time - Shnurov always financially supported his son.

Third wife (civil-law)

I met Sergei Shnurov on the set of the film “Games of Moths”. The star arrived to the filming of the episode with his participation not very sober, but this did not stop him from having an affair. The girl was in 10th grade; Shnurov was 14 years older than Oksana. Love passions flared up in earnest.
The couple did not hide from prying eyes: in the morning Sergei accompanied Oksana to school and, without hesitation, kissed her on the school porch. Akinshina admitted to her classmates that if it weren’t for her beloved Shnurov, she would not have come to her first lessons at all.
Teachers called Akinshina’s mother and complained about her “successes” in her studies. But everything was useless - the girl lived with Sergei Shnurov and she had no time for lessons.
By the way, it was Sergei who helped Oksana survive the death of Sergei Bodrov - Akinshina starred in his “” and had a hard time experiencing the tragedy. Shnurov supported and helped to get through a difficult period.
Young Akinshina was incredibly jealous of her common-law husband and created noisy scenes because of this. She paid for this - Shnurov abandoned her. At the beginning, he said about his relationship with Akinshina: “This is actually some kind of space for me!” Sergei fled three years later, tired of the scenes and scandals.
Fourth wife

The musician ran away to another lover - Elena Mozgova (Matilda). The wedding took place in 2010; over the years together, Matilda made a man out of Cord. The ballerina managed to curb Shnurov’s drunkenness - and without the help of doctors and clinics. The leader of the Leningrad group learned to drink much less, became a stylish and respectable man, began to dress fashionably and expensively and earn very decent money. There were a lot of women hanging around...
To the “sore question” of why the couple doesn’t have children, Sergei answered in an interview with a glossy magazine: “We don’t really talk about it or think about it. I think it’s worth thinking about children when you have... Let’s say we now have two hundred and fifty square meters, right? If it's five hundred, then it's worth it. And now we just won’t part ways with them. It’s a little hard for the two of us here.” And Matilda did not hide the fact that she was not “burning with the desire” to become a mother: “I don’t feel disgust for this, but I don’t have any desire either...”

Sergei Shnurov first became a father at the age of 20. But Seraphim’s daughter was not a surprise: Shnurov decided to start a family with his classmate, whom he met at the Religious and Philosophical Institute at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy. Sergei Shnurov proposed to Maria and, for the sake of his wife and newborn daughter, abandoned both his studies and his passion for music. The young father worked as a loader, watchman, and carpenter, but as soon as his grown-up daughter began to go to kindergarten, Shnurov returned to rehearsals: Sergei and his colleague Igor Vdovin had plans to create a hooligan group “Leningrad”. Ismagilova’s husband’s work was categorically disliked, and the student’s family fell apart.
Serafima Shnurova
Daughter of Sergei Shnurov, 23 years old
Serafima Shnurova is a student of the Faculty of Philology at St. Petersburg State University. The artist’s daughter has long lived her own life, makes money from graphic design and photo retouching, and is interested in poetry. Sergei’s relationship with his daughter was not always smooth: first, her mother prevented her from communicating with her father because of his scandalous band, and then Seraphima herself quarreled with the musician.

Last November, Seraphima suffered a miscarriage in early pregnancy, and recently the girl married 27-year-old bartender Vyacheslav Astanin.
Svetlana Kostitsyna
Second wife, 1999−2002
The marriage with his second wife also turned out to be short-lived, but productive for Shnurov as a musician. Kostitsyna was a music manager. She led the Pep-Si group and took charge of organizing the Leningrad concerts. In 2000, Svetlana gave birth to a son, Apollo, from Shnurov.
Oksana Akinshina
Common-law wife of Sergei Shnurov, 2002−2007
Shnur's most famous, scandalous and public novel. At the time of the meeting with Sergei, actress Akinshina was 15 years old! Shnur is 30 and was at the peak of his drinking spree. Almost immediately the artists came together and started talking about a wedding, which, however, never came to fruition. The lovers liked to have loud quarrels more than plan a wedding and children. As a result, what the couple had in common was an apartment in St. Petersburg and a dog, Pistka, which was left to Oksana.
Yulia Kogan
Soloist of Leningrad, 2007−2013
Kogan graduated from the Theater Academy and also worked in a confectionery production. The first helped her become a professional singer, the second taught her to express herself firmly and without embarrassment - both skills were useful to the artist in the Leningrad group. Shnurov glorified the red-haired Yulia, and he resigned her when she decided to engage in her own promotion. The musician did not like that Yulia agreed to become the host of a talk show on the Yu channel, and decided to break up with his colleague. Now Julia is engaged in a solo career and is raising her daughter Lisa.
Matilda Mozgovaya
Third wife, since 2010
“She came in, I was stunned. He asked: “Eh!” What’s your name?” She answered: “Matilda.” I said: “Oh ***,” - this is how Sergei Shnurov described meeting his third wife in an interview with Elle. Sergei and Matilda (real name Elena) have been together for almost 10 years, six of which are married. Matilda is a restaurateur, and she also involved her husband in her business; now Shnurov and Mozgovaya manage the Ko-Ko-Ko restaurant in St. Petersburg. Under the influence of his wife, a former ballerina, Shnurov settled down, tidied up his appearance and took up sports.
Alice Vox
Soloist of Leningrad, 2012−2016
Blonde Alice replaced red-haired Kogan in her post. Alisa is 28 years old, and during the 4 years of her participation in the group’s work, she recorded such hits as “Patriot”, “37th”, “Crying and crying”. But Vox’s main hit, of course, is “Exhibit.” In the spring of 2016, the artist decided to start with a bold step and left the team: the singer will now perform solo.
Alice's unexpected departure from the group has already generated many rumors. So, according to gossip, the girl caught “star fever,” which displeased Shnurov. But Leningrad director Denis Veiko emphasized that Sergei did not quarrel with Alisa.
“It has become difficult to work with a person, this happens. Nobody quarreled, these are work issues. Now Vasilisa and Florida are performing instead of Alice,” Leningrad director Denis Veiko told Life78.
Vasilisa and Florida
Soloists of Leningrad since 2016
The sizzling brunette and the curly blonde performed with the group for the first time at a concert at the Moscow club Stadium Live Leningrad on March 24. What is known about Vasilisa is that for three years the girl, a professional singer, successfully performed at the New Wave competition. And Florida Chanturia graduated from the pop and jazz department of the St. Petersburg State Institute of Culture.

- says Matilda’s former lover, fashion photographer Dmitry Mikheev
The other day, the old dream of young provincial girl Lena MOZGOVAYA came true. She became the legal wife of Sergei SHNUROV. The idea to ring some famous musician came to Matilda (that’s what her ex-lover MIKHEEV called the girl) as soon as she got to Moscow. Express Gazeta was the first to tell about Lenochka’s thorny path to happiness, when she wandered from one star bed to another (No. 25, 2009). Now we have become aware of new details.
- Cord he marries only those women who are ready to bear him a child, they believe those around the leader of the Ruble group.
In fact, the musician’s two previous wives gave him a baby each. First - Maria Ismagilova- gave birth to a daughter, Seraphim, the second - director of the Pepsi group Svetlana Kostitsyna- son of Apollo-Paul. And the actress Oksana Akinshina, although she lived with the scandalous musician for several years under the same roof, she did not want to get pregnant from Sergei, so, they say, she did not have the honor of going to the registry office with him.
In the St. Petersburg rock community they whisper that Shnur’s current chosen one is Elena Mozgovaya She could very well have recently gotten pregnant, so the noble Seryoga decided to register the relationship.
Butterfly wings
The words of Shnurov’s colleagues were also confirmed by Elena’s former lover - a famous Moscow photographer Dmitry Mikheev.
When I lived with her, she buzzed all over her ears that she wanted a baby,” recalls Dima. - I definitely dreamed of giving birth to a boy. I even came up with a name - Savely. But I didn’t intend to have children then and took precautions.
According to Mikheev, it was on him that Matilda tested her method of bewitching men:She acted like a Japanese woman. I once lived with a real Japanese woman, so I know what I'm talking about. As soon as you take out a cigarette, she immediately runs up and lights it for you. Or you walk into a room and they immediately give you a chair. You quickly get used to it and can no longer live without it. Shortly before our breakup, Matilda kept repeating: “After you, I can take any man for myself. I know what you need!” She even offered to demonstrate her skills on my friend Volodya Polienko, who wrote hits for the group “t.A.T.u.”, but I was against it.
Another advantage of Matilda was her willingness to undertake any experiments in sex.
She did not refuse either sadomas or group games,” shares Dmitry. - And she has no equal in oral sex! I will never forget how she made me “butterfly wings.”
Pond owner
Despite her openness, there was also a sore subject for Mozgova - her family, which remained in a village near Voronezh.
Matilda did not like to talk about her mother, recalls Mikheev. - Only once did I break down when I lit incense sticks at home. She asked me not to do this again. She began to cry and scream that her sectarian mother had forced her to read mantras by lighting incense since childhood.
Victoria Ulchonok, a childhood friend of our heroine, admitted that she also felt sorry for Lena when she got it from her parent.
They had portraits of Krishna hanging in their kitchen,” Vika said. - The brain department was even a little embarrassed about this. But she was never downtrodden. She could go against her elders. For example, at the age of 13 I got a tattoo on my stomach.
I started going to restaurants and nightlife venues early.
At the Voronezh club “One Hundred Ruchev” Elena met the lead singer of the group “7B” Ivan Demyan, who then lived in the capital of the Black Earth Region, having been released from prison. Demyan advised the girl to go to Moscow, where there are more opportunities. A few months later, when Ivan himself had already moved to the Mother See, Matilda rolled up to him. But the married musician hastened to get rid of her and introduced her to his friend Mikheev.
One night, Lena and I were riding in a taxi,” says Dmitry. - We were stopped by the police, who began to check our documents. Matilda did not have them, and she was taken to the department. I rushed home to get her passport and only then read that she was registered in some village near Voronezh. She used to lie to me that she lives in the city. After taking her away from the cops, I asked about her family. It turned out that the father had divorced his mother a long time ago and lived in the town of Pavlovsk, where he bought a pond and began raising fish. Matilda then told me: “If dad dies, so much money will fall to me! In addition, I will be the owner of ponds.”
Drank too much ayahuasca
“I lived with Matilda for almost three years,” continues Mikheev. - Kicked her out several times when she became unbearable. Well, who, tell me, would like to constantly listen to requests that I introduce her to the right people and advance her in life. “Achieve everything yourself!” - I advised.
Apparently, she listened to this and decided to act in a way that had been tested on me. I started hearing rumors that she was cheating on me. However, I myself saw her with other men: sometimes with an actor Evgeniy Tsyganov, sometimes with the editor-in-chief of a men's magazine, sometimes with a major businessman.According to Mikheev, after another quarrel, Matilda drove off to South America.
She had a friend who was called in the party Lucy LSD, the widow of a murdered authority figure. Lena, having carefully calculated everything, began to communicate with her in order to quickly get out of the country. She had connections there,” says Dmitry. - True, in South America the girls quickly quarreled. One night Matilda started calling me. She admitted that she drank too much ayahuasca (a drink with a psychotropic effect. - I.K.), quarreled with Lyusya and asked to quickly take her away from there.
I made her promise that from now on she would obey me, and sent money for the journey. But, returning to Moscow, a few days later she went on a spree again, and when I kicked her out of the house again, she started an affair with Shnur.
Getting close to Sergei Shnurov was Mozgova’s long-time dream. She admitted this to Mikheev and, despite his resistance, did everything to enter into the same circle with the ex-soloist of the Leningrad group.
One day in the morning I got a call,” the photographer recalls. - I picked up the phone and heard Schnur’s drunken voice: “And I just gave Matilda a...ball. Do you think I might as well try it again?” These words were like a knife to my heart. I’m sure Lenka was the initiator of that strange call. I wanted to show that I had achieved my goal. Several years have already passed, but I just can’t forget her. When I scheduled the presentation of my new magazine “I want” for July 31, I didn’t even think that on that very day Shnur and Matilda would have a wedding. I read about it on the Internet and got wildly drunk out of grief.
The newlyweds themselves didn’t give a damn about Mikheev’s experiences - at the wedding they had fun from the heart. The relationship between Sergei and Lena was registered at the registry office No. 1 on the English Embankment in St. Petersburg. In honor of the holiday, Shnur came wearing a light shirt with a picture of a frivolous lady on the back, and attached a boutonniere to his fly. His 24-year-old bride wore a modest white dress. The girl was not wearing a veil.
A sports commentator came to congratulate the newlyweds Vasily Utkin, actor Ville Haapasalo, producer Vasily Melnikov and theater director Vasily Barkhatov. Among the few guests there were no relatives of the groom, much less relatives of the bride.
