A few years ago, a young woman, widely loved by many people, tragically passed away. famous singer Zhanna Friske. After long illness she was never able to recover and return to normal life. Nevertheless, to this day her name, as well as her relatives, periodically appears in media mass media. In this article we will find out who Zhanna Friske’s sister is and what she was able to achieve in her life. Many people don’t even know the name of this girl, so we are filling this gap.

Birth

Zhanna Friske's sister, Natalya (her photo is given below), was born in the hero city of Moscow on April 21, 1986. Her parents' names are Vladimir Borisovich and Olga Vladimirovna Kopylov. Our heroine’s dad was a theater actor, but later he left acting and completely immersed himself in business.

From an early age, Zhanna Friske’s sister, Natalya, tried in every possible way to imitate her popular relative. The age difference between the girls was 12 years. It is worth noting that Natasha did not have any outstanding vocal abilities, but this did not prevent her from graduating from music school.

Education

Realizing that she was unlikely to conquer the stage, Natalya Vladimirovna decided to become a student at the Faculty of Law of the Moscow Institute. The girl chose the direction of civil law as her main specialization. After completing the course and receiving a diploma, Natalya got a job at the prosecutor's office, where she worked for only six months.

Zhanna Friske's sister, like the now deceased singer and their parents, began to bear the surname "Friske" after the producer of the group "Brilliant" rejected her native surname "Kopylova". He suggested that Zhanna come up with a sonorous pseudonym, and she, without hesitation for long, took the surname of her paternal grandmother - German by origin. After some time, "Friske" became real name already for Natasha and for her parents.

Leaving the stage

Having worked in law enforcement agencies, Natasha realized that this was not her life’s work, and therefore began to actively storm show business. Her debut appearance on the big stage came in the fall of 2007, when she performed within the walls of the Ice Palace on Khodynka Field. At that time, the solemn ceremony of presenting the popular music award in Russia MTV Russian Music Awards 2007 was taking place there, and Zhanna Friske’s sister herself for the first time found herself shoulder to shoulder with the lead singers of the group “Brilliant” and began performing in the new group from the very first day of its existence.

At the same event, Natasha showed herself with positive side, dancing well and not forgetting the lyrics, and after which she also gave an interview to journalists. Literally the next day, she and Zhanna went on tour to experience all the delights of the nomadic life of an artist.

The powerful debut of Zhanna Friske’s sister allowed the producer to introduce her into the group instead of Anna Semenovich, who had gone free.

Moreover, Natasha became friends with her colleague Nadezhda Ruchka. But already in 2008 younger sister Zhanna Natalya decided to leave the group because she could not withstand the tough tour schedule, close attention from the media and fans. The girl continued her studies in the field of law and even completed a make-up artist course.

Personal life

Zhanna Friske’s sister, whose photo has been replicated in many printed and electronic publications, first married her classmate back in 2010. However, their life together did not work out for a number of reasons, so they divorced a year later. At the same time, Natasha herself did not give any information about her experiences and details of the separation from her ex-husband.

The second time the girl walked down the aisle in the summer of 2013. Her chosen one was Sergei Vshivkov, an employee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation. The ceremony took place in Kuskovo. Only the closest relatives and friends of the family were invited to the wedding. Zhanna could not come to the event because she was in the USA and therefore congratulated her younger sister by phone.

Tragedy

In the summer of 2015, Zhanna Friske died. She was killed by brain cancer, which she was diagnosed with back in 2013 during pregnancy. The singer struggled with a terrible disease, and Natalya was always there, helping her older sister in every way and supporting her during treatment and rehabilitation. Until Zhanna’s very last breath, Natasha tried to ease her suffering.

Life today

After completing a make-up artist course in 2016, Natalya even thought for some time about starting a career in this field. At the beginning of 2018, the girl, together with former soloist the formerly popular group “Turbomoda” by Alexander Popov presented a song called “Two Planets” to the public. In 2017, Natalya Vladimirovna initiated the start of fundraising for the treatment of people suffering from cancer. Her illness prompted her to make this decision. close friend and not forgotten tragic death older sister. Also in 2017, Natasha spent a vacation with her husband in Bali.

Natalya Friske does not hesitate to share her grief with subscribers on her Instagram page. Not long ago, the girl’s family experienced a bereavement; Natasha’s sister, Zhanna Friske, a popular singer, passed away. A huge number of Zhanna’s fans leave their comments with words of support on Natalia’s pages. social networks, as well as on the singer’s official website – zhannafriske.com. You can do this too.

But now about Natalya herself.

Biography

The girl was born in 1986 in Moscow. Although she is fourteen years younger than her sister, she has always been very close to Zhanna. Until a certain time, both girls bore the surname “Kopylova,” but in the wake of Zhanna’s insane popularity, the whole family, including their parents, changed their surname on Friska.

Of course, little Natasha dreamed of the same popularity as her older sister. But, unfortunately, the girl did not have outstanding vocal abilities, although she still graduated from music school. Having given up her dream of becoming a singer, Natalya Friske entered Moscow University, the faculty where future lawyers are trained, and graduated with excellent marks.

However, life still gave her a chance to become famous.

When Anna Semenovich decided to leave the group “Brilliant” and start solo career, Zhanna suggested her sister to the group's producers, as worthy candidate yourself as a replacement. The producers were interested in this proposal, and Natasha performed at the MTV Awards in 2007 as a member of “Brilliant,” after which she went on tour with the group. Especially during her time in the group, Natalya became friends with Nadya Ruchka. The girls are still friends.

After just a year, Natasha realized that the world of show business was not for her and left the group to continue her studies at the university. Now she works in her specialty, as a lawyer.

Instagram

Of course, many of Natalia Friske’s posts on Instagram are dedicated to her sister Zhanna. The girl is very bored, loss loved one turned out to be too with a strong blow. And from Natasha’s photo on Instagram you can see how touchingly the members of the Friske family support each other. On her page, Natasha tries not to talk about Dmitry Shepelev, Zhanna’s husband, who does not allow her grandparents and aunt to see little Plato. But it is clear that parting with the boy is not easy for the girl and her family members, because before his mother’s death he lived with them. And the poems from Natalia’s Instagram, with which she accompanied her sister’s photo, touched many subscribers.

But on the official Instagram website, Natalia Friske’s page is filled not only with sadness, because life goes on. Here you can see a photo of the girl with her husband, an employee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Sergei Vshivkov, with whom Natasha is very happy. Photos with friends beach holiday- all this is also here. And on her page, Natasha calls for charity. Almost every third of her posts on Instagram is dedicated to raising funds for sick children.

Zhanna Friske's younger sister Natalya shared with fans good news. There is a new addition to the family of the ex-soloist of “Brilliant”.

Natasha's favorite dog, Jack Russell Terrier Jess, gave birth to offspring. Friske showed the new mother and her five puppies on Instagram.

This is not the dog's first litter. Jess has a good pedigree and Natalya used to easily place her favorite’s kids. However, in the fall of 2016, Friske made a vow: “That’s it, no more childbirth!”

The fact is that then Jess lost one puppy. The birth was very difficult and the baby did not survive. Natalya took this very seriously. “There were four puppies, the third baby was saved, but the last girl didn’t work out...(((so, there are only three puppies left...," Natalya wrote on Instagram after the tragedy. According to her, because of the death of one pet, "everyone roared “No more childbirth, I definitely won’t endure this again..((“, added Friske.

But time heals, so Jess found a groom again. This time everything went well. Now the puppies sleep and eat all day long. But in two or three months, Natasha will begin to look for new owners for them.

Friske's sister's face changes before our eyes

“My dear Irochka😻 Your hands work wonders🤩 my face changes before my eyes! For as long as I can remember, I have always been annoyed by my #paintingbags. Whatever I did with them, whatever they offered me, but your wonderful hands did the impossible)) my painters began to go away☺️ my face became completely different) 💋🙏🏽 thank you very much☺️😻 💋 (hereinafter, the authors’ spelling and punctuation have been preserved. – Ed.),” wrote a happy Friske.

Numerous subscribers were quick to respond to the publication. “Natasha, you’ve lost a lot of weight😳”, “Beautiful”, “Beauty🔥”, “You’re Beautiful Natalya Friske looks like Little Sister”, “A million dollar smile”, “You are so beautiful God bless you)))” “You are a beauty, as always I admire you ️,” Netizens commented on the post.

Dmitry Shepelev's house, bought with Zhanna Friske's money, is taken away

Meanwhile, the family of the late Zhanna Friske has a new misfortune. The singer's parents may lose an impressive share of their property. This is all due to protracted monetary disputes with charitable organization"Rusfond".

“The court satisfied our claims for the recovery of the Friska spouses’ share of a land plot in the village of Kryukovo, Istrinsky district, and the residential building located on it,” Life.ru quotes a source. The reaction of Vladimir Borisovich and Olga Vladimirovna is not yet known.

Confrontation between the relatives of Zhanna Friske, who died of cancer, and her common-law husband Dmitry Shepelev continues. After a time-out, the Friske family’s lawyers again move on to decisive action, which they told Komsomolskaya Pravda about.

Grandson forgets grandparents

After the death of Zhanna Friske, her four-year-old son Plato is raised by the boy's father Dmitry Shepelev. Due to a quarrel with the singer’s parents, the TV presenter refuses to allow Jeanne’s relatives to see the child.

— The court ordered Shepelev to provide visits with the baby to Friske’s grandparents once a month. But Dmitry does not comply with the court’s decision under various far-fetched pretexts: either there is no time, then they left, then Plato got sick, and so on, the lawyers of the singer’s father Vladimir Friske told KP. — Another date in January was canceled again. Dmitry, in turn, says: Plato doesn’t even want to see his grandparents. We suspect that Shepelev is deliberately setting the child against his loved ones. On one date, Plato asked: “Grandfather, when will you return the house and money to dad and me?” At our last meeting last year, I didn’t want to communicate with my grandmother and turned away from her. He said that dad forbids accepting gifts from relatives... We insist on conducting an independent psychological examination of Plato. Perhaps this attitude comes from Dmitry, who can instill anything in a child.

“But a boy may behave this way not because of his father’s malice, but simply because he forgets his grandparents. Psychologists say: children have short memories. And if they don’t see someone for a long time, they begin to forget...

- This vicious circle: the child will not remember his relatives if Shepelev continues to prevent them from meeting. As a result, it turns out that the boy is artificially deprived of relatives. This violates the rights of the child!

Mansion of Discord

“We know Shepelev’s blue dream - to live with Plato in a country house purchased during Zhanna’s lifetime in the Istra district of the Moscow region,” Friske’s lawyers continue. “He's very close to it, but we're going to intervene.”

Let us remind you: soon after Zhanna learned about her terrible diagnosis, Shepelev withdrew from her account a large sum. With this money he bought country house. KP has reviewed a copy of the power of attorney issued

July 2, 2013 in Miami (June 24, Zhanna went to an American clinic for the first time, where she was given a fatal diagnosis). As follows from the document, the singer entrusted Dmitry “to buy 1/2 of the land plot at a price and on terms at his own discretion.” total area 3730 sq. m (...) and 1/2 share of a residential building with a total area of ​​393 sq. m".

- Why did she trust him to purchase only half of the land and the house?

- Because it was implied that Shepelev would buy the second half with his own money. But he did not have the funds at that moment. And he promised that he would return the money for this half later. In total, Dmitry spent 38 million rubles on the purchase. Of these, 36 million went to land plot and 2 million for the house itself.

Now, according to lawyers, Shepelev’s debt to the Friske family is half of this amount - 19 million rubles.

By the way, Zhanna had never been to this cottage due to illness; she had only seen it in photographs. Shepelev still lives with his child in a rented apartment.

He was unable to move into the house immediately after Zhanna’s death due to legal intricacies. The second half of the mansion, registered to Zhanna, was divided in equal shares between the heirs - Plato and the singer's parents. After a quarrel with his would-be son-in-law, Vladimir Friske refused to let him into the cottage.

“At the same time, Vladimir Friske announced that he was ready to give up the house altogether if Shepelev regularly allowed him to see his grandson,” the lawyers emphasize. — At first, Dmitry promised to arrange visits with the child, but then he began to fuss.

In order to somehow improve relations, Vladimir Friske took a step towards him. He and Zhanna's mother gave up their shares in the house in favor of their grandson. Half of the cottage now belongs to Plato. The second still remains with Shepelev.

“We recently learned about Shepelev’s desire to move into this house,” Friske’s lawyers say. - But he never fulfilled his promise - he did not pay 19 million to his relatives for half of this property. And if so, we are filing a lawsuit against Shepelev.

The total area of ​​the house with the plot is 3730 sq. m. meters.

"Withdrawal failed"

“We recently learned another interesting fact,” continue the lawyers of the Friske family. — Dmitry turned to the bank with the hope of getting Zhanna’s personal money from her personal account. During her lifetime, Zhanna sold her house in America and deposited the proceeds -

475 thousand dollars - into the account. Shepelev knew that Zhanna had an account at the bank, but did not know its number. And then he submitted an application: they say that they have a bank account for Zhanna Friske, and he, as Plato’s legal representative, has the right to receive the money. At the same time, in the statement he indicated that Plato is the only heir, there are no other heirs. That is, he deliberately misled bank employees. Nevertheless, bank employees learned that there was a trial between Shepelev and Zhanna’s relatives, and refused to give him money. We plan to bring Shepelev to justice for attempted fraud.

ANOTHER REPRECATION

“I told jokes at the wake”

“Shepelev is taking revenge on us with the help of a child,” says Vladimir Friske. - He is capable of incomprehensible actions. I remember Zhanna told how they were on holiday abroad - they stayed in the house of the same hostess. We didn’t like something and decided to move out. So Shepelev took and urinated in her flower pot - such a minor dirty trick. And how he behaved at Jeanne’s wake! At some point, he jumped out to the third floor, stood out the window, and pretended that he was going to jump out. Everything is so demonstrative. He said: “I can’t live without her, I’ll jump now!” He was grabbed and dragged away. But then he laughed and said: “Why are you scared? Am I a fool? I will still live, and for a long time!” That is, he simulated a suicide attempt. The guests were shocked, they saw it all (TV presenter Lera Kudryavtseva hinted at this case, without disclosing details, in her show “Secret for a Million.” - Ed.). And after this incident, Shepelev told jokes, laughed, drank, and behaved inappropriately. It seemed that he was even glad that he had found complete freedom...

ON THE TOPIC

Where are the millions of Rusfond?

Last year, following Rusfond’s claim, the court of first instance ruled that Zhanna Friske’s heirs—her parents and son Platon—should jointly pay the foundation 21.6 million rubles. This money is part of the amount raised for the treatment of an artist with cancer. The singer’s parents were unable to report on what the funds were used for. The debt remains with the heirs to this day. Friske's lawyers filed cassation appeal to the Moscow City Court.

MEANWHILE

Zhanna Friske's son forgot his family and did not recognize his own grandmother

Four-year-old Plato new meeting with the singer's mother he treated her like a stranger

In December, lawyers for Zhanna Friske’s family secured another meeting between clients and the singer’s son. Let us remind you: Plato is now 4 years old, he lives with his father, TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev. According to the court, Shepelev is obliged to allow the Friske family to see the child once a month. But he constantly finds reasons to postpone the boy’s communication with his relatives. Plato’s penultimate meeting with his mother’s family took place in September - then the boy communicated with his grandfather Vladimir Friske, the singer’s father.

Lives off his sister

While she works hard on the set to provide for herself and her family, her younger sister Natasha is wasting her life. Having received yet another financial aid from her sister, the girl goes to great lengths. Correspondents of "Yellow Gazeta" managed to find people who were in the same company with Natasha Friske. They had indelible impressions from communicating with the girl...

She was rude to the producers

At twenty-four years old, Natalya Friske, by her own admission, feels forty and has absolutely no idea what to do with her life. After all, for your short story the younger sister of the popular singer, no matter how hard she tried, left no mark on the stage...

They first started talking about her in 2007, when Friske Jr. appeared at the Muz-TV awards as a new member of the Blestyaschie group. It was in this group that Zhanna began her career. But the producers’ hopes of playing on a big name were immediately dashed to pieces. Natasha was kicked out of the group just a few months later. The ex-soloist of the group “Tutsi”, and now a singing DJ Nastya Krainova, told us about how “hard” she worked.

“I crossed paths with Natalya when the groups “Tutsi” and “Brilliant” performed at the nature reserve in Novgorod,” Nastya recalls. – I can say that Natasha behaved willfully and was rude to the producer. That evening she was late for the concert and almost ruined the band's performance because the day before she went to meet some friends... In general, Natasha does not at all suit the romantic image that they tried to paste on her. She is a girl-boy. He loves to hang out and often swears in normal conversations. It’s not a problem for her to send anyone a three-letter name... When Natasha realized that she needed to work hard in the group, and not just show off in front of photographers at parties, she quickly lost interest in the stage. And why should she work if Zhanna already provides for her?

Always liked to drink

When Natasha was kicked out of the group, she told her sister: “I don’t need these “Brilliant” ones, I will make a solo career myself.” But after the first failures, Natasha simply... went on a drinking binge.

“Every day there are drinking parties and parties,” the neighbors in the house where Zhanna and Natalya live vied with each other. “The girls show up at about two in the morning, the screams, laughter and music last until the morning. Several times we even called the police to calm them down.

Usually the festivities take place in the sisters’ Moscow apartment, but in the summer they often relax in a country mansion, which Zhanna rents for herself and her sister. A young man, Alexander I., attended one of these celebrations and shared his impressions with us.

“I quite accidentally ended up in a common company with Natasha,” he says. – First we sat in a cafe in the city center. Then, as usual, we “didn’t have enough.” And then Natasha suggested: “Let’s go to my place!” The whole group of us moved to Friske’s apartment. There was a ton of booze, and we had a lot of drinks until the morning. Natasha has no inhibitions in this regard; she is ready to walk for many hours in a row. Only in the morning I realized that the parents of Friske’s sisters also lived in this very apartment, but for some reason they were not at home...

According to Natalya's friends, she always loved to drink. A girl can easily drink two bottles of vodka and smoke a pack of cigarettes per night. Usually the next day after this, Natasha complains to her sister that she feels bad and needs to “improve her health” at one of the foreign resorts. Zhanna usually agrees. While packing her suitcase, Natasha rakes out clothes from their shared closet—the girls don’t share things.

I read three books

– One day we were partying at general company with Natasha in the south,” recalls another former drinking companion of Friske, Svetlana M. “And on the second day I said to her: “Natasha, why do you drink so much? Take care of your liver! She replies: “I don’t give a fuck at all! The main thing is that it is interesting!” Her eyes light up as soon as it comes to talking about hanging out somewhere cool. And everything else doesn’t interest her... She once admitted that she had read three books in her life. And this is in twenty-four years!

Recently Natasha thought again about solo career. Apparently, she is still haunted by her sister’s laurels. Only work in any groups, according to her friends, she considers “sucks.” She says that she will depend only on herself. Natasha recently shot a video for a new song. Of course, Zhanna paid for the filming and costumes.

Meanwhile, Friske Sr. is also going through an unpleasant period. After leaving the producer, she lost the right to perform a significant part of her songs. But working on television turned out to be not so easy. On the set of a new MTV project in Mexico, where Zhanna works as a presenter, Friske spent a long time lobbying management to provide her and other project participants with normal conditions for life. At the same time, Zhanna is wondering where it would be even more profitable to sell her big name. Fortunately, there is plenty to choose from: the beauty is offered roles in films and TV series, and hosting new TV shows... It should be noted that the singer supports not only her sister, but also her father and mother. Zhanna cannot afford to hang out like her younger sister does.

Natasha has very few credits for successfully mastering the musical field - she only has music school behind her.

Natasha studies at the Moscow Institute of Law, Faculty of Law, specializing in civil cases, very soon she will have to defend her thesis.

She worked in the prosecutor's office for six months.

But, due to the sharp turn in her career, the future lawyer is unlikely to become closely involved in criminal cases. Criminal jurisprudence is inferior to the glitter of the spotlights and the applause of the applauding audience.

On October 4, 2007, at the Ice Sports Palace on Khodynskoe Field, 21-year-old Natalya made her debut at the MTV Russian Music Awards’2007 on a grand scale. Her successful sister received another award, and Natasha, not wanting to lose face, learned all her parts and all the dances perfectly. She sang well and gave interviews to the press with dignity.

Literally the very next day, the newly minted singer flies off on tour to fully experience the frantic pace of star life.

"Brilliant."

Best of the day

Producers Grozny and Shlykov are confident that Natalya Friske will be a worthy replacement for her sister in “Brilliant.” The sisters are like two peas in a pod, but Natalya is much younger and fresher. Its potential is only being revealed.

The singer herself was casting for the group and more than once refused offers to replace Friske Sr. I saw in my sister’s example the complexity of an artistic career. At that time Natalya lived family happiness with my beloved husband.

Anna Semenovich left the cast, interest in “Brilliant” had to be fueled with something... And then a new Friske appears on the stage, 12 years younger. After the divorce, Friske Jr. agrees to become the lead singer of the group “Brilliant”.

By nature, Natasha is a cheerful, charming and cheerful girl. Loves to sing, dance; skiing, traveling and spending time with friends.

Even the dog with a cute wrinkled face, a funny pug named Demis, which Natasha adores, echoes Natasha’s character - cheerful, energetic and strong by nature.
