The king of the Russian stage, Philip Kirkorov, pampers his children very much. For rest, he sends his offspring to the most luxurious resorts, they live in the best hotels, they are looked after by professional nannies. But even such comprehensive care cannot protect the artist's son and daughter from uncontrollable elements and cataclysms. So, in July 2018, Kirkorov's children actually found themselves face to face with a terrible fire in Greece, which claimed the lives of more than a hundred people. What happened to Kirkorov when he left for Greece to save the children?
The heirs of the pop king spent the summer of 2018 in fabulous Greece, where the maximum conditions were created for a comfortable children's rest.
What did the children do
On the singer's Instagram that summer, videos and photos from the sunny Athens resort appeared every now and then, where they enjoyed their holidays without their star parent.
In one of the videos, Martin and Alla-Victoria are flying in a helicopter over the coast of the Greek coast, in another picture they are strolling along the city streets bathed in the sun.
And also - a photo of children in the pool, on the green lawn, in the square and in other places of one of the most expensive resorts near Athens.
Disaster
If Kirkorov had chosen a hotel in Athens for the recreation of children, and not in the suburbs, then the ending of the story would not be as rosy as it happened in the end.
On July 23, Greece began to receive reports of large-scale forest fires and surrounding areas. The elements were uncontrollable, the fire quickly spread from the green areas to the most popular resort towns. Initially, the fire broke out on the periphery of Attica, in close proximity to the capital Athens. The territories to the west and east of Athens were affected by fire and smoke. The cities of Kineta (2 thousand inhabitants), Mati (200 inhabitants) and Rafina (13 thousand people) were almost completely burned down.
The fire inevitably spread very quickly. The Greek officials got the impression, AFP writes, that there was arson to loot abandoned buildings. After all, 15 areas around Athens were simultaneously blazing. However, according to reports of meteorologists the day before, from July 22, Greece plunged into a "wave of hot air". They warned that an abnormal heat from 37 to 41 degrees sets in. And the windy weather made the situation worse.
As a result, more than 80 people died in the country during these three days, about 200 were injured, many of them were tourists, and more than 100 people were missing. In one of the elite villas of the Mati resort, the bodies of 24 victims were found at once. Many were burned alive in houses and cars, among them dozens of children.
How Kirkorov reacted
Upon learning of the terrible fire, Philip Bedrosovich was very worried. After all, his offspring were only a few kilometers from the epicenter of the elements. To the great happiness of the singer, the fire bypassed the resort, where Alla-Victoria and Martin were blissful. And yet, the worried father, abandoning all affairs, rushed to save the heirs from trouble, despite the fact that the guys were in relative safety.
During these July days, Kirkorov himself was in Baku, took part in the "Heat" music festival. The event was held for the third time and was organized on a special scale. The festival program ended on July 29 with creative evenings of famous performers - Valery Meladze and Lyubov Uspenskaya. In addition to Philip Kirkorov, Vera Brezhneva, Diana Arbenina, Grigory Leps, Slava, EMIN and other performers appeared on the stage.
“This tragedy in Greece is the biggest,” Kirkorov said in an interview with journalists from Baku on the eve of his departure. "And I would like to take this opportunity to express my condolences." He said briefly about his plans: “Immediately from Baku I will fly to Athens to take them home - to Bulgaria. And we plan to rest there in early August."
Philip did not wait for the end of the festival, although he was a specially invited guest, and immediately after the performance he flew to Greece.
What happened to Kirkorov in Greece
He arrived in the country engulfed in flames, where he initially planned to spend several unforgettable days with the children, and urgently took them to Bulgaria. The flight reached its final destination safely.
With Kirkorov himself, except for strong emotional unrest for the health of underage offspring, nothing happened. But he later admitted to reporters that he felt strong guilt before Alla-Victoria and Martin, because he was not with them during the terrible disaster.
“Thank you, Greece! It was unforgettable! And we flew on! - the singer wrote on his Instagram under one of the publications. - Meet us, cheerful and resourceful - Saint Tropez, Monaco, Como and Venice."

By the way, the subscribers of the star account noticed that in some photos and videos with the heirs of the pop king, a third child is constantly adjacent - a girl or a boy, it is not entirely clear from the pictures. The artist did not introduce the mysterious kid. From here, a lot of rumors immediately appeared, which arose in the comments to the posts on Instagram: "Philip, do you already have three children?", "Whose child is there?", "What kind of boy is the third?". Kirkorov did not unsubscribe to these comments.
Where is the family today
Today, Philip Bedrosovich and his children are in the Moscow region, in their three-story mansion, and lead their usual way of life.
According to the artist, Aunt Marie and his father and the mother of his children live with them, all of them are engaged in the upbringing of children. And the singer explains the absence of public appearances of this large family by the fact that the younger generation does not need it.
