Where are the Brothers Grimm now? Boris Burdaev decided to change his sex

Kostya Burdaev's wife asked to be buried in a pink coffin

Kostya Burdaev's wife asked to be buried in a pink coffin

This week marks 40 days since Lesya KRIEG, the wife of the lead singer of the Brothers Grim group Konstantin BURDAEV, passed away. She died on December 16 at the age of 30 from heart failure. In an interview with Express Gazeta, Kostya said that his wife had a presentiment of an early death, so she categorically refused to have children. The artist’s songs, released on his last disc, also turned out to be prophetic.

Album released in 2010 Kostya Burdaev I wrote without my brother Boris. The main theme present in all compositions is eternal separation. Only after the death of his wife did the musician realize how prophetic his poems were.
“I wanted to dedicate the song “Come Back” to my brother,” says Kostya. - But, apparently, everything is predetermined from above. A couple of months after the album’s release, my beloved passed away. And now I see that the words of the composition turned out to be not about Bor at all, but about the Forest. And a year and a half ago the following lines were born: “Farewell, I love you, we will meet in a new life.” It was as if he knew in advance that this would happen.

Rival Dima

Lesya Krieg(real name Khudyakova. - N.M.) and Konstantin Burdaev met in Samara, where the 19-year-old beauty came to get a job on the radio.
“Lesya became a broadcast star,” says Kostya, “and I read the weather and news.” We began an office romance with overnight stays under the window, letters and serenades, although we both had significant other at that time. I dated a girl for four years, Lesya had a boyfriend - a party host Dmitry Pavlov. A prominent man who enjoys the attention of ladies. This bothered Lesya, so she chose me. I didn’t have time to tell my girlfriend anything. She just saw us together and understood everything.
For a long time, Khudyakova could not decide which of the men was dearer to her. When Dmitry came home once again, Lesya took the keys from him and immediately dialed Burdaev’s number to consult whether she had gone overboard.
- My beloved called and asked if I should give Dima the keys back. I went all in: “If you do this, you can forget about me.” So I put an end to their relationship. But I am sure that for Dima, despite his many girlfriends, Lesya was some kind of light. I understood this from his eyes when Pavlov arrived at her funeral.

Black shirt

Having played a wedding in Samara, Kostya and his twin brother went to conquer Moscow. The wife did not immediately decide to give up her successful career, but after some time she moved to the capital.
- Was your wife not offended that she sacrificed hers for the sake of your career?
“It wasn’t easy for her when she had to quit the radio and go to Moscow. But Lesya enjoyed the work of the group’s tour manager.
- Where did she get the pseudonym Krieg - war?
- It suited her. I have never seen such a riot of character in any girl! She knew how to be a bitch. But at the same time she had a kind heart. Lesya wrote poems and dedicated many of them to me. Our relationship was stormy. Sometimes they broke dishes, but they soon made up. Lately we haven't been apart 24 hours a day.
- Was she a believer?
- In the end, yes. She had a presentiment that something bad might happen to her. I once joked: “When you’re old, you’ll bury me.” And Lesya suddenly said seriously: “No, Kostya, it’s you who will bury me. Remember, I want a pink coffin.” When she died suddenly, from heart failure, I then looked for one for a long time. I found a white one with a pink tint. I always wanted a child, but my wife seemed to foresee that this should not be done. Of course, Lesya understood that she had a weak heart that could not withstand childbirth. At the same time, she smoked a lot: two or three packs a day. I tried to wean her off, but my beloved was adamant. I remember she said: “I look at this world and want to fly to Laos.” True, she promised to return. The last thing she gave me was a black shirt. I don't usually wear these, but unfortunately, I soon found it useful.

Jealous Boris

Romance of a pianist Ekaterina Pletneva And Boris Burdaev also started in Samara. The fact that the girl was five years older did not bother the young man.
“I gave guitar lessons at the Samara Medical-Technical Lyceum, where Kostya studied,” recalls Katya. - He and Borya just created the Magellan group - the Brothers Grim arose later.
- What attracted you to him?
- Borya was 17, I was 22 - I became his first girlfriend. He looked after me beautifully. He presented gifts: either a telephone or a ring with diamonds. And I gave him paintings that I painted in oil.
Six years after they met, in 2004, they got married.
“I came to visit him at his rented apartment, and one day I just stayed. But over the years, Borya has changed a lot. He became nervous, his worldview changed. He began to come drunk, and I never scolded him, because I loved him and forgave everything in advance. Once in Samara, Boris was so jealous of an acquaintance that he broke my glasses.
- Who made the decision to leave?
- Borya. He went on tour with his suitcases and never returned. I called, trying to understand what happened. In response I heard: “I want to be free from everything. I don't need anyone to live for me. I want to go outside and realize that I am alone.”
- How did you cope with the breakup?
- Kostya supported me. He pulled me out of depression and suggested that I return to the group - I play several instruments. Although they are twins, they are completely different. In 2009, my husband and I filed for divorce, and I never saw him again.

One of the leaders of the Brothers Grim group, Boris Burdaev, intends to become a woman.

One of the leaders of the once popular Russian group "Brothers Grim" Boris Burdaev is going to change his gender.

The 35-year-old artist recently admitted that he has a non-traditional sexual orientation. Now he is thinking about radical metamorphoses with his body. The singer’s producer Andrei Borodin spoke about this.

“Now Borya travels abroad very often. Even at the moment he is in Madrid. I don’t know what he is doing there exactly. But he has thoughts about changing his gender,” said Burdaev’s representative.

“If he does this, I will stop working with him. He is gay, and this is already a deviation. If he also becomes a woman, he will ask to call him not Borey, but some Natalie... The public will no longer perceive him,” - added the producer.

“I believe that personal life should be a personal life, and not intersect with work issues,” Borodin emphasized.

Burdaev himself, having arrived on tour, can “hang out” in a gay chat, looking for a partner for the night. At the same time, there can be no talk of preparing for the concert, which is unacceptable, according to the producer. He believes that sex should be done at home, not at work.

Answering a question from journalists about his plans, Boris chose to avoid answering, indulging in philosophical reasoning on this matter.

“In principle, I cannot give birth to a child. This, of course, would be good, but it is not yet possible. Although, they would pay me a million dollars, because the man will finally give birth. Secondly, it looks very unaesthetic,” the musician noted.

Let's remember that the group "Brothers Grim" consisted of two twin brothers Boris and Konstantin Burdaev.

After the group’s collapse, the media often wrote about Boris’s scandalous behavior: he either started a drunken fight, or shocked hotel guests with his nudity. In addition, the artist came out and spoke about his homosexuality.

Let us add that several years ago Konstantin suffered a heavy loss - his young wife died suddenly.

Ten years ago, the Brothers Grim hit “Eyelashes” could be heard from every window. Red-haired Kostya and Boris Burdaev bathed in the glory and love of fans. However, soon disagreements arose between the brothers and the group broke up. Now each of the artists has his own team: Konstantin assembled a new composition of the group “Brothers Grim”, and Boris created the project “Boris Grim and the Brothers Grim”.

Now Boris's producer has announced that he wants to change his gender and become a woman. “He has thoughts about gender reassignment. If he does this, I will stop working with him. He is gay, and this is already a deviation. If he also becomes a woman, he will ask to call him not Borey, but some Natalie... The public will no longer perceive him,” Andrei Borodin said in an interview with life.ru.

The fact that Boris is gay creates big problems in his cooperation with the producer. Borodin believes that the singer should not show off his personal life. “This is unacceptable to me. Instead of preparing for the concert, he thinks about which boy he should sleep with. You come to work, and you only have to think about it. If you want to have sex with someone, you do it at home, not at work. He very often disrupts interviews, especially if he is not physically satisfied. On top of everything, our production center is engaged in children's creativity, and here Borya is gay. This is not good,” the singer’s producer is indignant.

Boris himself has not yet made any statements about a gender change. The artist talks about the fact that he cannot give birth to a child and this is sad. “Firstly, in principle, I will not be able to give birth to a child, this, of course, would be good, but it is not yet possible. Secondly, it looks very unaesthetic. Imagine, you will film a video of me giving birth to a child. How should I do this? Do you know that men during childbirth faint when they see what is happening there. And here I will give birth... This is incredibly ugly, comrades. So science will help us,” the singer said.

The ex-soloist of the group "Brothers Grim" for the first time commented on rumors of a gender change

Recently, a number of Russian media reported that the lead singer of the Brothers Grim group, 35-year-old Boris Burdaev, plans to change his gender and become a woman. Yesterday, Boris himself commented on this news for the first time, saying that these rumors were untrue.

Dear friends and fans, I rarely ask you for something, but this time I cannot ignore it. We have all been modern people of the 21st century and, thanks to social networks, we have long learned to correctly filter information and ignore the yellow media. I thought that the days of “yellow newspapers” were already gone, but no, apparently this industry is in such a dying state that the most freaks and flawed creatures go there. In pursuit of a hot fact, they are ready to write unimaginable stupidity, at the level of gateways and vulgar drawings on the desk. Apparently, everything is completely bad there, and the level of stupidity has gone beyond all boundaries of good and evil. If you have time and desire to help me, please don’t be lazy. Click on the “complain” button on your social networks and this nonsense will be removed,” Boris wrote on Instagram, attaching a link to the news about his alleged plans to change his gender.

Notes

An excerpt characterizing Burdaev, Boris Veniaminovich

Count Ilya Andreich took his girls to Countess Bezukhova. There were quite a lot of people at the evening. But the whole society was almost unfamiliar to Natasha. Count Ilya Andreich noted with displeasure that this entire society consisted mainly of men and women, known for their freedom of treatment. M lle Georges, surrounded by young people, stood in the corner of the living room. There were several Frenchmen, and among them Metivier, who had been her housemate since Helene's arrival. Count Ilya Andreich decided not to play cards, not to leave his daughters, and to leave as soon as the Georges performance was over.
Anatole was obviously at the door waiting for the Rostovs to enter. He immediately greeted the count, approached Natasha and followed her. As soon as Natasha saw him, just like in the theater, a feeling of vain pleasure that he liked her and fear from the absence of moral barriers between her and him overwhelmed her. Helen joyfully received Natasha and loudly admired her beauty and dress. Soon after their arrival, M lle Georges left the room to get dressed. In the living room they began to arrange chairs and sit down. Anatole pulled out a chair for Natasha and wanted to sit next to her, but the count, who had not taken his eyes off Natasha, sat down next to her. Anatole sat in the back.
M lle Georges, with bare, dimpled, thick arms, wearing a red shawl worn over one shoulder, walked out into the empty space left for her between the chairs and stopped in an unnatural pose. An enthusiastic whisper was heard. M lle Georges looked sternly and gloomily at the audience and began to speak some poems in French, which dealt with her criminal love for her son. In some places she raised her voice, in others she whispered, raising her head solemnly, in others she stopped and wheezed, rolling her eyes.
- Adorable, divin, delicieux! [Delightful, divine, wonderful!] - was heard from all sides. Natasha looked at fat Georges, but did not hear anything, did not see and did not understand anything of what was happening in front of her; she only felt again completely irrevocably in that strange, crazy world, so far from the previous one, in that world in which it was impossible to know what was good, what was bad, what was reasonable and what was crazy. Anatole was sitting behind her, and she, feeling his closeness, fearfully waited for something.
After the first monologue, the whole company stood up and surrounded m lle Georges, expressing their delight to her.
- How good she is! - Natasha said to her father, who, along with others, stood up and moved through the crowd towards the actress.
“I don’t find it, looking at you,” said Anatole, following Natasha. He said this at a time when she alone could hear him. “You are lovely... from the moment I saw you, I haven’t stopped....”
“Come on, let’s go, Natasha,” said the count, returning for his daughter. - How good!
Natasha, without saying anything, walked up to her father and looked at him with questioning, surprised eyes.
After several receptions of recitation, M lle Georges left and Countess Bezukhaya asked for company in the hall.
The Count wanted to leave, but Helen begged him not to ruin her impromptu ball. The Rostovs remained. Anatole invited Natasha to a waltz and during the waltz he, shaking her waist and hand, told her that she was ravissante [charming] and that he loved her. During the eco-session, which she again danced with Kuragin, when they were left alone, Anatole did not say anything to her and only looked at her. Natasha was in doubt whether she had seen what he said to her during the waltz in a dream. At the end of the first figure he shook her hand again. Natasha raised her frightened eyes to him, but there was such a self-confidently tender expression in his affectionate gaze and smile that she could not look at him and say what she had to say to him. She lowered her eyes.
“Don’t tell me such things, I’m engaged and love someone else,” she said quickly... “She looked at him. Anatole was not embarrassed or upset by what she said.
- Don't tell me about this. What do I care? - he said. “I’m saying that I’m madly, madly in love with you.” Is it my fault that you are amazing? Let's start.
