Zaitsev's house of discord. Who will inherit the fashion designer's inheritance after the death of his son?

On the birthday of the Fashion House Slava Zaitsev his only son died Egor Zaitsev. The 64-year-old head of the Zaitsev’s model management agency survived his father by just over a year. Who will receive the fashion designer’s assets?

The couturier’s son struggled with cancer for a long time. Previously, Egor suffered from coronavirus, and later he was diagnosed with cancer in the large intestine and tumors in the lungs.

Zaitsev Jr. is a graduate of the Russian State University named after A.N. Kosygina. Since 2019, he has worked as a general director at his father’s Fashion House. He had his own clothing line, YeZ, and was also elected a corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Arts from the design department. He loved motorcycles and was a member of the Night Wolves club.

Why did the son and father Zaitsev not communicate with each other?

In recent years, the family of the famous fashion designer has practically not communicated with each other.In recent years, the family of the famous fashion designer has practically not communicated with each other.

In recent years, the family of the famous fashion designer practically did not communicate with each other. In the master’s circle they said it was because Zaitsev Sr. once declared his granddaughter Marusya, and not Yegor, the heir to his business empire. He was offended and cut his father out of his life.

They say that this is why the son buried his father not at the Novodevichy or Vagankovsky cemetery, where celebrities are buried, but found a free plot near one of the villages near Moscow in the Shchelkovsky district. The grave turned out to be on the edge of the churchyard next to the road, and “the photograph of the master is looking into a public toilet.”

In turn, Zaitsev Jr. himself insisted that his father, instead of relatives, spent time in the company of strangers and controversial people. And they actively took advantage of his helplessness.

The fashion designer had progressive Parkinson’s disease. He could hardly move, and his speech became incoherent. At that time, a certain woman settled in Zaitsev’s mansion Galina Garafutdinova with his adult children, Luciana and Timur. They regularly published videos on their Tiktok account, where they dance and fool around with the helpless Zaitsev in the background.

These are scammers, and now dad is surrounded by a lot of such scammers,” Yegor Zaitsev spoke then.

He meant not only the Garafutdinov family, but also the brothers Vadim And Almaza Khusainov — organizers of one of the fashion designer’s last birthdays, which brought together many celebrities. For example, Alla Pugacheva and Maxim Galkin*. However, anyone could attend this event; it was enough to buy a ticket, which cost 15 thousand rubles.

That evening, a fight almost broke out between the fashion designer’s relatives and his new friends. The Khusainovs were unhappy that Yegor Zaitsev, as the director of the fashion house, refused to take their familiar models who were not suitable in height to the show. The conflict ended with a call to the police. Allegedly, Almaz Khusainov rushed into the fitting room and threatened: “What do you mean, non-format, how dare you? One of the models is my bride!”

It’s interesting how Vadim Khusainov commented on the SHOT message about the death of Yegor Zaitsev.

This is a great tragedy for the Fashion House and for our entire country as a whole,” he stated.

The Khusainovs are known for organizing social events where they invite elderly stars from all over the world – there are photos of them together on the Internet, for example, with Pierre Cardin and Eric Roberts. But most often their guest of honor was Vyacheslav Zaitsev. The Khusainovs have regularly published photographs of themselves embracing the legendary Soviet couturier over the past four to five years.

What remains after Vyacheslav Zaitsev

As Vyacheslav Zaitsev’s illness progressed, he had less and less strength to monitor his assets: the Fashion House had large debts on salaries and about a hundred million rubles to the city. At the suggestion of the house’s deputy director Rasula Akhmedova The three-story building with Zaitsev’s office was sold, after which a dental office was opened there.

According to Yegor Zaitsev, after the death of his father, he began to restore the family enterprise and even paid off its multimillion-dollar debts. Perhaps he just wanted to maintain the reputation of his economic son, because a number of media outlets, even during the couturier’s lifetime, reported that Vyacheslav Zaitsev was reviving his fashion house and planning to create a new collection. He himself paid off all the debts at home and plans to restore everything that was lost.

We are talking about saving the most valuable asset of the Zaitsev family – a multi-story building on Mira Avenue, in which the couturier empire was located. For debts, some of the premises had to be sold, and some had to be rented out. Now the cadastral value of real estate with an area of ​​almost ten thousand square meters alone is one and a half billion rubles. The market price, taking into account the location in a prestigious area of ​​Moscow, will be much higher.

After Zaitsev Sr., a three-story country house in the village of Kablukovo remained. Underneath it is almost one and a half hectares of land, which the master leased for 50 years. This dacha is positioned as a “creative center” and “museum-estate”. Probably, the descendants of the fashion designer will one day have to resolve property issues with the state.

Another asset remains the fashion designer’s apartment, located right on Arbat. Here on the second floor there is a two-room apartment with an area of ​​84 square meters. Now it is occupied by Yegor Zaitsev’s eldest daughter, Marusya, her beloved granddaughter, to whom her grandfather promised his business empire. The commercial value of such real estate is about 35 million rubles.

Who are the heirs of Vyacheslav Zaitsev

It is not known for certain whether the couturier made a will. If not, then according to the law, the only child of Vyacheslav Zaitsev, Egor, should have become the heir to all property.

After his death, a 30-year-old woman can claim the inheritance Maria and 15 year old Anastasia Zaitsev. The neighbors said about the eldest that she allegedly lived in an apartment with a mongrel and two men. One of them once worked as a model at his grandfather’s fashion house. Marusya herself is supposedly a kind and sweet girl, but her friends are “not of this world.” She did not communicate with her father, Yegor, in the same way as he did with his. Marusya accused him that his father did not participate in his grandfather’s life.

Marusya herself was previously listed on the board of directors at the Fashion House of Vyacheslav Zaitsev. In addition, she had an individual entrepreneur who worked in the field of sewing and selling clothes. It existed for just under seven years and was liquidated by her decision. Since then, the girl has not run a business. You can find references on the Internet that she worked for hire, but some tabloids wrote that she allegedly lived dependently on her relatives.

However, recently the model of his house unexpectedly claimed his rights to the property of Zaitsev Sr. Eduard Krivenko. Last summer, he appeared in one of the TV shows with a folder in which, according to him, lay the will of Vyacheslav Zaitsev. Allegedly, the couturier left his entire inheritance to him. However, the model has not yet published the text of the document.
