The court confirmed that Shatunov did not transfer the rights to his works to Razin

The court in Shcherbinka, having considered the claim of the widow of Yuri Shatunov, found that the agreement under which the lead singer of “Tender May” allegedly transferred to former producer Andrei Razin the rights to the works, to use his name and personal data, was never concluded, lawyer Asel Mukhtarova-Kazarnovskaya, representing the interests of Svetlana Shatunova, told RIA Novosti.

“There was a real agreement that Yura signed with Razin, but it was about something else altogether. Razin unfastened it, took the last page and attached seven other permissions to it - the rights to works, to the use of name, image, personal data, biography, almost DNA, he allegedly sold him under this agreement,” said Mukhtarova-Kazarnovskaya.

After the singer’s death in 2022, Shatunova owns the rights to the musical works of “Tender May,” which he received in 2019 from the songwriter and creator of the group, Sergei Kuznetsov.

The press service of the Shcherbinsky Court of Moscow told RIA Novosti earlier on Monday that the court satisfied Shatunova’s claims against Razin.

The court recognized the agreement dated September 14, 2013 on the transfer of exclusive rights to use personal data, copyright and exclusive related rights to products, images and works between Shatunov and Razin as not concluded, the agency’s interlocutor said.
