Andrei Razin: biography
September 15, 1963 in the city of Stavropol was born Andrei Alexandrovich Razin. Our hero’s father is from the city of Grodno in Belarus, and his mother is from the Stavropol Territory. Razin's parents died in a car accident. After that, he ended up in the orphanage of Svetlograd, Stavropol Territory. For him, the cloudless days are over. But he did not give up. In the orphanage, Andrei began to engage in creative and organizational activities.
In 1978, Andrei Razin entered GPTU number 24, where he mastered the profession of a bricklayer. In 1979, our hero graduated from college and, in the direction of the Komsomol, was sent to work in the Far North. There he spent several years of his life.
The beginning of the way
In 1982, Razin returned back, where he entered the Stavropol Cultural Enlightenment School. A year later (in 1983), our hero went to serve in the army. Having given his debt to his homeland, he got a job at the Ryazan Regional Philharmonic Society as a deputy director. He worked there for a very short time. His character did not allow him to stop at the achieved result and sit in one place.
In 1986, he replaced the post of deputy director of the philharmonic and took the place of deputy chairman for procurement on the Sverdlov collective farm in the village of Privolny, Stavropol Territory. He also stayed at the new job for a short while and in 1988 went to Moscow, taking with him the money intended for the purchase of a new tractor for the collective farm.
In Moscow, Andrei Razin, with the legend that he was Gorbachev’s nephew, easily got a job at the Record recording studio, where he was looking for new talented artists, and agreed on the supply of necessary equipment.
Gentle May Group
And then one day in search of talent, Andrei finds the “Tender May” group in Orenburg. This team was very interested in him, and Razin went there with a briefcase on which the inscription “Ministry of Culture” appeared. Pretending to be an employee of the ministry, he persuaded Sergei Kuznetsov (the creator of the group) to move to Moscow with the team for further cooperation.
After that, the guys began constant tours, recording new hits and albums. The main hits of “Tender May” were written by Sergei Kuznetsov, who led and maintained discipline in the team. The promotion of the group involved Andrei Razin. “Affectionate May”, thanks to his efforts, gained immense popularity. Gradually, Kuznetsov went aside, and our hero began to do everything himself. The group gave four concerts a day. The record was eight appearances per day. Wanting to earn even more money, Andrei found doubles and arranged concerts simultaneously in different cities, under the phonogram, posing as completely different people as members of the “Tender May” group.
In 1990, Andrei Razin released his first book, entitled “Winter in the Land of Tender May.” He did not stop there. A little later, the newspaper Tender May began to be published. In 1992, the group broke up. As Razin explains, this was due to the desire of Yuri Shatunov to perform solo.
Now our hero has assembled a new team, which works under the same name. They are still touring all over the country, but with the least success.

After that, the father took his son to Moscow to study as a stylist. Our hero claims that he is preparing a worthy change to the famous Zverev.
The first official wife of Andrei was Natalia Lebedeva, with whom they lived for nine years, after which they divorced. The next wife of Razin was Faina - the owner of a Moscow restaurant. They had a son, Alexander. And again failure. The couple broke up.
Another sweetheart of Razin was stripper Karina Barbie. At first, the couple hid their union. But when Karina’s stomach was rounded, there was no point in denying her relationship.
In November 7, 2013, Andrei Razin and
Karina Barbie became the happy parents of little Aurora, whom our hero promised to present to the AR media holding. The girl was named in honor of the
Great October Revolution. In addition, she was born at dawn, and translated from Latin “Aurora” - the morning star.
