Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff reunited in paradise

After the disappearance of his twin Grichka, Igor Bogdanoff passed away on January 3 at the Georges Pompidou hospital where he had been admitted with his brother Grichka.

Since his admission on December 15 to the intensive care unit for covid-19, Igor Bogdanoff was in a coma. On December 28, his brother Grichka died, Igor followed him after 6 days. They were 72 years old. The Bogdanoff brothers did their last radio interview on December 6 to talk about the book « God, Science, Evidence »: The New Science Ally of God. They provided advice and even some writing on the part called « the novel. noir du big bang « , a period when the great scientists were persecuted until 1945 by the two great totalitarian regimes, the Soviet and the Nazi.

Brothers rocked by science

Igor was the oldest of the twins, he was born 40 minutes before his brother. The 2 brothers were inseparable and had studied very extensively. Grichka was a graduate of Sciences-Po and had a doctorate in mathematics, while Igor had a DEA in semiology and a doctorate in theoretical physics. However, they were different on a daily basis, Grichka was a loner while Igor surrounded himself. The first was a dreamer and had his head in the stars while the second had his feet on the ground. Finally, as much Grichka was abstract and theoretician, so much Igor was concrete and practical.

The passion they had for the cosmos and science fiction propelled them to host the program Temps X between 1979 and 2007 .. They also participated in « Fort-Boyard » in 2015 and 2016 then « Mask Singer » in 2020 .. During the show « Grosses Têtes », in which they participated since 2015, they did not lack humor or intelligence.

Who was Igor Bogdanoff?

Igor did not have Asperger’s syndrome, a kind of autism, unlike his brother Grichka who was born with it.

Another big difference, Grichka was not married and had no children, Igor, meanwhile, had 3 wives in his life and was the father of 6 children. The oldest is 46 years old while the youngest is 7 years old.

Genevieve Grad

In the 1970s, when he was only 26 years old, Igor Bogdanoff met Geneviève Grad, an actress who played the daughter of Louis de Funès in « Les Gendarmes ». From this union, was born his son Dimitri who is now 45 years old. Unfortunately, their story ends but Geneviève Grad will always be in her entourage since she is a production collaborator in the « Temps X » team. Unfortunately, the father-son relationship deteriorated over time to the point that 1999 no longer mentions his son Dimitri. We are only talking about 3 children he had with his second partner and not 4 in total.

Ludmilla d’Oultremont

Igor Bogdanoff married Ludmilla d’Oultremont on June 29, 1989 in Paris. During their 5 years of life together, they have 3 children, Sasha Maria, born in 1989, Anna Claria in 1991 and Wenceslas in 1994. They separate the same year.
Sasha Maria and Anna Clara are singer and director, Wenceslas is vocalist and classical pianist. The premiere happened last summer with « Dream Roots » or the art of mixing influences. Passionate about singing since her childhood, then becoming a model, she feels the need to return to her African-American roots while traveling. Remember that his grandfather, Roland Hayes was the first black opera singer, recognized internationally.

Amélie de Bourbon Parme

Divorced in 1994, ile remarried on October 1, 2009 in Paris with the writer, Amélie de Bourbon Parme. It is a marriage of love in great pomp at the Château de Chambord, although they had known each other for ten years. From this union are born 2 children, Alexandre in October 2011 and Constantine in 2014.
Although 20 years his junior, the consulting director at Havas was the person responsible for the couple. She was the scientist’s greatest love.
During their years of marriage, the couple had to make concessions, in particular on Igor’s dress style, which his wife did not approve of. She had to give up traveling abroad and romanticism. It is also without taking into account the presence of the twin brother, towards the children, who behaved more « like dad than uncle ». Finally in 2017, Igor formalized his separation from Amélie de Bourbon Parme.

Julie Jardon

An affair with the former model and researcher in biology, Julie Jardon is formalized at the 2017 book fair. She is 44 years her junior and is researching melanoma at the Gustave Roussy Institute. After a few months, the couple split up because Igor would be jealous and possessive. Despite this, they parade together at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival and things seemed to be back on track.
Also in 2017, Julie Jardon filed a complaint against her former companion for entering her home illegally. The police arrested him and placed him under judicial supervision.
Julie Jardon was the last companion of Igor Bogdanoff.

Will they be buried together?

While they were not separated during their lifetime, will they remain inseparable after death. The question arises as to whether they will be buried together.

Tested positive for Covid-19, while they were not vaccinated, the brothers left projects unfinished. They wanted to present new « Temps X » programs with modern means of communication. After their death, the lawyer is afraid that everything they have built together will disappear.
