A year without you: Nina Matvienko's daughter touched with a message to her late mother.

Singer Tonya Matvienko honored the memory of her late mother – the legendary artist Nina Matvienko. On the anniversary of her death, the daughter wrote a touching post in which she addressed her dear mother.

«It's been a year without you… My mental state and shock could only be compared to the feeling when I found out that the war had started. Emptied and wrung out like a rag. My life changed forever. I know what loss is and I know what it means to cherish. I couldn't visit the cemetery and didn't clean up your things at home. At first, I didn't want to appear anywhere because people remembered you, and for me, it was like ripping the band-aid off», – wrote Tonya Matvienko.

The singer recalled what happened in her family's life over the past year.

«We are all well. The president posthumously awarded you the «National Legend of Ukraine» medal, and Ninusiс sang with me on stage for the first Time. Ulyana started her project, happy with Yura. Arsen started home renovations, you would definitely have liked the bathroom. Miss you a lot. We love, respect and, of course, listen. P.S. Today we are all meeting at Aunt Valya's place. Also, I will hold a memorial concert, as you told me in my dream!» – concluded Tonya Matvienko.

Let's recall, on October 8, the legend of the Ukrainian stage, People's Artist of Ukraine Nina Matvienko passed away. On October 10, she would have turned 76. Arsen Mirzoyan named the cause of Nina Matvienko's death.

Many Ukrainians and colleagues of the artist published condolence posts in memory of the legendary singer, paying tribute to her talent. However, there were also those who on the day of the artist's death dared to accuse her of separatism and anti-Ukraine views. In particular, they recalled that Nina Matvienko called the Russian-Ukrainian war fratricidal, did not perform in the ATO zone, and even cursed the defenders of Ukraine. Meanwhile, historian and journalist Eduard Andryushchenko published documents online which indicate that the KGB monitored Nina Matvienko due to her pro-Ukrainian stance.

It is worth noting that from the start of the full-scale invasion, Nina Matvienko traveled around the country with charity concerts, performing both in bomb shelters and hospitals.
