Today, Lilia Zhukova, the mother of the leader of the group “Ruki Vverh!”, turns 73. The date is not an anniversary, but this did not stop Sergey from getting in touch on social networks and publishing a very emotional public congratulation. Zhukov supplemented the text with rare archival photos of the birthday girl.
The gallery includes shots not only with the artist’s father, but also with the artist himself, captured on black-and-white film as an infant.
My mommy is the most beautiful, – the artist wrote. I remember as a child, when all the women still curled their hair with curlers and my mother had a gorgeous, voluminous head of hair, I, delighted and in love with her, would say, “Mommy, when your hair is curled, you look like Alla Pugacheva, and when it’s not, you look like Baba Yaga.” The naive boy back then already saw the inner beauty of his beloved mother, but couldn’t put it into words. And today, as an adult, I don’t have enough words to describe my love for you! For me, you remain the best, most tender, most beloved mother on the planet! Be healthy and happy! I love you, my love! Happy birthday, mommy!
At the end of May, Sergey Zhukov himself celebrated his birthday. The artist turned 50, and his beloved wife Regina Burd (who, by the way, looks very much like her mother-in-law) publicly congratulated him. Sergei and Regina have four children, and they have been together for about 20 years.
