Yevhen Ogir

Nina Matvienko
The public was unaware that the singer was ill, as the family hid it from the public. Therefore, it is not surprising that the news of Nina Mitrofanovna's death came as a real shock.
Her son-in-law, Arsen Mirzoyan, said that his mother-in-law died of oncology, which she had been battling for four years.
Nina Matvienko was laid to rest on October 11 at the St. Feodosiev Monastery in Kyiv, and buried at the Zvirynetsk cemetery.
