Vera and Vasily lived in the city of Kumertau, in Bashkiria, but the birth of a son, as often happens, did not bring them closer, but, on the contrary, complicated a difficult relationship even more, so Yura did not receive the surname of his father.

From the first days of his life, the baby Vera instructed her parents who lived in the village of heels. Yura Shatunov and her mother three years later a woman left her husband, but did not immediately take her son to her. In the year, when the grandmother of Yura died, and Vera found a new love and moved to the small village of Savelyevka, the boy began to live with his mother and stepfather.

Nina Gavrilovna Dolgushina, the sister of the artist’s mother, said with his father in the photo, says that at the end of X Yura lived in her house in the village of Staraya Otrada and went to a local school.

Nina Dolgushina sang in the ensemble of folk song at the House of Culture. The woman recalls that her nephew did not study music, he had the perfect hearing by nature and could pick up any melody on the guitar or in accordion. Trying to arrange a personal life, in the year Vera determined her son in a boarding school, and two years later died. The cause of the death of a summer woman was called heart failure, but her relatives and acquaintances believed that abuse of alcohol influenced the outcome of the disease.

Remaining an orphan with a living father who lived with a new family in Kumertau, but the fate of his son was apparently indifferent, Yura lived in the boarding school of Kumertau for some time. The boy came on vacation to Nina Gavrilovna, the only person who showed interest and care for him, but the period of growing up and awareness of his uselessness could not but affect his behavior.

Yuri Shatunov-an orphanage in the year of Yura fell under the attention of law enforcement officers due to vagrancy. The head of the orphanage, located in Akbulak, Valentina Tazekenov, who was present at the commission, where it was decided in which institution would continue to live and study the difficult teenager of the connecting rods, was imbued with sympathy for him. Under her responsibility, Valentina Nikolaevna issued a boy with piercing blue eyes in an orphanage, in which she worked as a director.

Yura followed Valentina Nikolaevna, to whom he became attached as a mother, but formally remained a pupil of the Akbulak orphanage. Shatunov was a difficult teenager Sergey Kuznetsov, who worked in the middle of X in the second boarding school of the city of Orenburg, said that the new director of the boarding school introduced him to Vyacheslav Ponomarev, his former pupil, with whom they decided to create a musical team.

It was the glory of Ponomarev who proposed to take the thirteen -year -old Jura vocalist, who, in his opinion, had not only the required vocal data and perfect hearing, but also a pretty appearance, which seemed to the founders of the Affectionate May group, an important condition for achieving success. In the photo: Yura Shatunov and Sergey Kuznetsov “Affectionate May” officially the year of birth of the group, which was destined to become a symbol of the perestroika era, is considered the first performance of the collective consisting of Sergei Kuznetsov, the author of the songs, Basist Vyacheslav Ponomarev, vocalist Yuri Shatunov and Sergey Serkov, who was responsible for the light of music, took place in December of the year in the year Orenburg House of Culture.

The first songs, written by Sergey Kuznetsov, such as “melting snow” and “blizzard in a foreign city”, touching Yura, made the group a star star of Orenburg discos. It is unknown if the glory of the young team would come out outside the city if the recording with the songs of the orphanages, which spread the efforts of a certain Viktor Bakhtin, who worked near the Orenburg railway station and helped to realize the cassettes, did not get to Andrei Razin, at that time, the manager of the Pop College Mirage.

Shatunov - the idol of the “perestroika” youth composition “Summer”, “Well, what are you”, “White roses”, “Wede night” and others impressed Razin. The young manager relied not only on the recognizable genre of Euro Pop, but also on the tragedy of history about the talented orphan boy living in an orphanage and singing about an unrequited and such pure, completely childish love.Affectionate May - white roses up to a year, the group released more than ten albums, the compositions of the "affectionate May" sounded at all discos, from the windows of houses and prestigious metropolitan areas, and from the windows of the workers' outskirts, the musicians gave several concerts a day, gathering 50 thousand spectators each.

Musical critics compared the popularity of the “affectionate May” with the popularity of “The Beatles”, because at concerts of the Russian group the girls also fainted and were ready for anything for the autograph of their beloved artist - Yura Shatunov. The group in full force is understandable, because in the USSR there was no decorated teenage music scene. The team took this gold niche for the musical market.

Youth, tired of pioneer speech and postulates in the style of “Always ready! This gave rise to the myth that Razin gave a millionth bribe to the military registration and enlistment office so that his ward would not be taken to the service.

In the photo: Mikhail Sukhomlinov on September 28, Mikhail spent the night with Yuri in the apartment, which the mayor Yuri Luzhkov gave the singer, and in the morning, when his friends left the entrance, a car drove past, shots were heard.

As Andrei Razin later stated, the killer was discovered in the year, they turned out to be a mentally ill person, and initially he attempted Shatunov’s life. Moving to Germany and a solo career to return to the stage and declare yourself, albeit as a star of past years, Shatunov again helped the case. Employees of the agency entered Yuri, who was engaged in organizing concerts of Russian artists abroad, and invited him to Germany.

The conflict with Andrei Razin in the summer of the year was a lot of Shatunov’s fans were upset that their idol could no longer fulfill their favorite hits of the Affectionate May group. According to media reports, the most famous and beloved compositions of the cult group fell under the ban due to the transfer of ownership, among which the legendary “white roses” were also.

Andrei Razin is the godfather of Dannis, according to some reports, the conflict of the singer and producer began with the fact that Razin sold the rights to use the compositions of the “affectionate May” enterprise “Honest Music”, whose general director is Rachbari Vadim Kiazym Ogly. Since the start of disagreements, the conflict has overgrown with many details, not all of which, however, had a place to be.

In fact, in the year, Andrei Razin, by court decision, received the right to almost thirty songs of the Affectionate May group. As the producer said, after the collapse of the group, Andrei Razin bought rights from the author of the songs, Sergei Kuznetsov. The producer clarified that Yuri Shatunov did not claim to be, in court he did not declare his claims, and even on the contrary, he refused to fulfill the songs, explaining his act by the fact that he decided to change the image of the “teenager-dealer”.

It is known that with the new owner of the songs, Razin and Andrei Gurov entered into an agreement that allows them to fulfill songs for a fee determined in the official document. In the fall of the year, Shatunov said that he had all the documents confirming that he was a true copyright holder, but he did not apply for the protection of his interests and did not provide any evidence.

The last years of his life and death at the end of the year, the conflict of Yuri with the former producer and godfather of his children reached a new level. Under the current legislation, no one has the right to question the decision of the court, according to which in the year, Razin became the legal copyright holder of almost thirty songs of the Gentle May group.
