Jeff crashed. The girlfriend of the ex-owner of Soho Rooms is blamed for his death

41-year-old ex-soloist of the Tet-a-tete group and one of the co-founders of the Soho Rooms nightclub Sergei Tkachenko fell from the window of his own apartment in Moscow. His girlfriend Maria tried to save her lover.

Sergei Tkachenko died after falling from the window of an apartment on the 19th floor. The cause of the fall is being investigated. There is a version that this was an accident and alcohol abuse.

Later, relatives denied information about alcohol; according to them, Sergei Tkachenko did not drink or smoke at all.

His lover was with him in the apartment at the time of his death. There is an assumption that Tkachenko’s death was the result of a quarrel between the couple.

Perhaps Tkachenko, in the heat of family squabbles, was simply trying to scare Maria and fell out of the window by accident.

Sergei Tkachenko opened the window and hung out from the windowsill. His girlfriend Maria tried to pull him back into the apartment. But she couldn't do it. Perhaps Sergei ran out of strength and fell down.

He fell on the roof of the annex of the Perekrestok store. The death of Sergei Tkachenko did not come immediately; for some time he still showed signs of life and tried to fight. However, he quickly died from his injuries.

Sergei Tkachenko was one of the five founders of Soho Rooms, but four years ago he resigned from the management of the club.

Sergei Tkachenko has been well known in show business since the early 90s. At first he participated as a backup dancer for Bogdan Titomir, then he was one of the soloists of the boy band “Tete-a-Tete” (Irakli Pirtskhalava started there).

At the same time, Tkachenko was engaged in business in the show industry and produced other artists.

Tkachenko worked as a DJ for many years. He performed under the pseudonym Sergei Jeff.

In the last few years, he has been organizing his own events. Just before the New Year, Tkachenko opened his own entertainment project “Mir” on Tsvetnoy Boulevard.

Recently, Tkachenko’s personal life has improved. He met a girl with whom he seemed happy and wanted to marry her.

Sergei Tkachenko and Maria Radul published joint photos on Instagram. They spent a lot of time together.

Relatives of Sergei Tkachenko later made a statement and told what happened on this tragic day.

“On the morning of January 29, in the apartment of Sergei Tkachenko, a quarrel occurred between him and his girlfriend, in which Sergei defended his innocence and feelings for his beloved. In an impulse, he jumped onto the windowsill of one of the rooms, where, by a terrible coincidence, the window was open, Unable to maintain his balance, Sergei ended up on the other side of the window, but managed to grab the frame.

Sergei held on while being outside at a temperature below 5 degrees, he tried to climb out the window on his hands, but he did not have enough physical strength to do it. After 10 minutes, Sergei’s arms could not stand it, and he fell down. Everyone already knows how these tragic events ended.

Farewell to Sergei Tkachenko will take place on Wednesday at the Shcherbenskoye cemetery. On behalf of the relatives and friends of the deceased, we ask you to stop gossip and speculation, which completely distort real events and discredit the name of an honest and believing person,” the relatives told Komsomolskaya Pravda.

This morning, all representatives of the Moscow club scene received shocking news: the owner of the Soho Rooms club, Sergei Tkachenko, better known under the pseudonym S. Jeff, died. A man fell from the 17th floor. According to witnesses, Tkachenko had a fight with a woman with whom he lived in the same apartment and stormed downstairs. The terrible death of an ex-member of the "Tete-a-Tete" group did not leave many celebrities - people from the first Moscow "star" companies - indifferent.

Singer Anastasia Zadorozhnaya, who became popular thanks to the acclaimed TV series “Club,” told Life how Tkachenko became the founder of the capital’s club life.

“We are all in shock and don’t understand how this could happen,” Anastasia shared with Life. - I’ve known Seryozha for a very long time, since the time of the series. We spent time together on the set, one might say, we didn’t leave the club. Then it was still Infinity, and then Soho Rooms appeared. He was the founder of this whole party, a very respected man. We spent a lot of time with him, all those days on the set, we lived like a big family, Me, Seryozha, Alexander Tolmatsky. Unfortunately, we haven’t communicated much lately, mostly just congratulating each other on the holidays. Honestly, what happened was a shock to me, Sergei was never seen in any controversial things, he was always calm and friendly. Russian producer and father of rapper Decl Alexander Tolmatsky, in turn, told Life that at a certain period of his life Tkachenko abused alcohol, but before his death he decided to lead a healthy lifestyle.

I haven’t seen him for a long time, but he was always normal and reserved. Many people knew him, everyone treated him with respect. I recently heard about this tragedy on the radio and am now very depressed. He recently had a new girlfriend, they say it happened because of a quarrel with her. But this is all strange, because he hasn't been drinking lately. Once he had a period, he drank, but then he quit and opened a business. There is no reason to jump out of a window.

In a conversation with Life, a member of the group “Ivanushki International” Andrey Grigoriev-Appolonov I remembered that I knew Tkachenko even before he became the founder of many Moscow clubs. As it turned out, the artist remembers Sergei as part of the group “Tete-a-tete” together with Irakli Pirtskhalava. By the way, in 1997 the team performed at the “Christmas Meetings of Alla Pugacheva”.

I have known Seryozha for almost 20 years, since the days of the Tet-a-tete group. The incident that happened, of course, is simply outrageous. He was a very reserved, intelligent and kind person; he could not have done this on his own. I think this is still an accident.
The singer spoke about her club life and meeting Tkachenko Yulianna Karaulova. The artist, like her colleagues, said that Sergei had recently led a healthy lifestyle.

In fact, the whole party revolved around him, but he himself did not participate in it. He was present at the club, but never drank. I have known Sergei for a long time, so I am also in shock. A very strange situation, because everyone who knows him would never have thought that this could happen.

On Sunday afternoon, January 29, the famous Russian DJ and one of the founders of the Moscow nightclub Soho Rooms Sergei Jeff Tkachenko died in Moscow as a result of a fall from a cornice located at the level of the 20th floor

The Investigative Committee has begun an investigation into the death of Sergei Tkachenko, who fell from a window on the 20th floor of a residential building in the center of Moscow. The deceased was a famous Russian DJ and former co-owner and creator of the Moscow nightclub Soho Rooms.

It was established that on the afternoon of January 29, the body of a 41-year-old man with injuries characteristic of a fall from a great height was found on the canopy of one of the residential buildings on Shmitovsky Proezd, representatives of the Investigative Committee report.

DJ Alex Kafer spoke of Sergei Tkachenko as a bright and purposeful person who could not commit suicide.

We met and worked together so much - I can’t wrap my head around how this could happen. He could be thoughtful in terms of work, he thought a lot, he approached all issues on a grand scale,” recalls Alexey. “Nothing was unimportant to him.” And fall out of the window... Honestly, I don’t believe that such a person could do this consciously on his own, because he was so purposeful. I turned to him for advice as a promoter, an artist, he is such a teacher, you could always ask him something or clarify something. Today I will definitely go to our mutual friends and find out what the mood has been there lately. What kind of quarrels can there be with your wife? They have such an idyll.

Alexey met Sergei three years ago, then they decided to create a remix of Sergei’s most memorable song - “Dreams”.

He wrote it a long time ago, and it sank into the souls of many people. Sergei was a bright and bright person who constantly gave people light and positivity. And he called the song “Dreams” his brainchild: in it he spoke and sang how to climb up, to the sun, to his dreams.

Investigators from the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee for Moscow are ascertaining the circumstances of the death of Sergei Tkachenko. According to representatives of the investigation, we are talking about an accident: a man, deciding to scare his partner, climbed onto the ledge, but was unable to climb back and fell down.

He had an argument with a woman with whom he lived in the same apartment, stood on the windowsill and fell down, witnesses told Life. Police officers are currently working on the scene to determine the circumstances of the incident.

On Sunday, January 29, the famous DJ and one of the founders of the Soho Rooms nightclub, 41-year-old Sergei Tkachenko, died in Moscow. A man fell out of the window of a multi-storey building on Shmitovsky Proezd. As you know, the tragedy occurred after a quarrel with a girl.

One of the eyewitnesses filmed Sergei while he was already hanging on the eaves of the house. After 10 minutes of balancing on the ledge, Tkachenko, unable to hold on to the window sill, breaks down and falls down. Witnesses of the tragedy and viewers of the video are surprised why the girl did not try to drag the man into the apartment or did not call her neighbors for help within 10 minutes. Perhaps the girl panicked and tried to convince Sergei to climb through the window. Questions are also raised by the behavior of Tkachenko himself, who does not try to climb out the window, but steps along the ledge and eventually falls off - clearly not intentionally. Tkachenko fell onto the roof of a supermarket, and only with the help of climbing equipment was it possible to remove his body.

In the two days after the tragedy, many speculations arose about what actually happened that day in the couple’s apartment and what condition Sergei might have been in.

As it turned out, Tkachenko hung, holding onto the window sill, for about ten minutes - then he asked to come back. Apparently, the girl was unable to drag his apartment on her own and began to call for help, but did not have time: the DJ fell down and collapsed on the canopy of the entrance.

Residents of houses on Shmitovsky Proezd witnessed Tkachenko’s fall.

Witnesses to the incident, seeing the DJ hanging on the ledge, called rescuers and doctors.
