How am I now without you?

Alexandra Kutsevol, who previously reported that Oleg was in the hospital in intensive care and connected to a ventilator, today, June 29, reported the sad news. Yakovlev died in the hospital. She did this through a post on Instagram:

“Today at 7:05 the main Man of my life, my Angel, my Happiness, passed away... How can I live without you now?.. Fly, Oleg! I am always with you." (Spelling and paragraphs of the author have been preserved, editor's note).

Later, Super contacted Sasha, and she said what was the cause of Yakovlev’s death. Moreover, the woman noted that no one imagined that everything would happen so quickly and no one raised a panic:

“The cause of death was double pneumonia, so he was connected to the machine all this time. During this time, he never even regained consciousness. It was an advanced stage, he was treated at home himself. We didn't call an ambulance before, you know, coughing and coughing. Everything happened too quickly, none of us had time to come to our senses.”

The 47-year-old singer passed away as a result of pulmonary edema. Complications arose against the background of liver cirrhosis.

One of cult groups the mid-nineties became a collective " Ivanushki International"And what was the despair of their fans when the tragic death of twenty-eight-year-old Igor Sorin occurred in 1998. Many people still do not believe the official version of the fall from the sixth floor, but there is also clarity in the circumstances of the death of the lead singer famous group there has been no increase in two decades. The excitement around this incident was not hampered by the fact that at the time of the tragedy Igor had already decided to pursue a career as a soloist, and his place in “Ivanushki” was taken by Oleg Yakovlev, unknown to anyone until that time.

The audience did not immediately accept the new performer and his unique appearance, but over time he managed to achieve recognition. Oleg followed the usual path of many vocalists - after quite a long performance as part of Ivanushki International, he began to write his compositions, released solo album. And what a shock not only for the audience, but also for colleagues in show business was the news about the singer’s sudden hospitalization, that he was undergoing intensive therapy, and finally, about his sudden death. Artists are prone to superstitions, and many of them express the opinion that the place of the third performer in the group “Ivanushki” is cursed, and it is better for Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov and Kirill Andreev to perform as a duet.

What is unusual in Oleg Yakovlev’s biography is, first of all, his place of birth. He was born in the Mongolian city of Choibalsan, where at that time (November 18, 1968) his parents served in a military unit. They were not married, and Oleg knew about his father only that he was from Uzbekistan and much older than his mother. When the boy was seven years old, the mother returned with her son and two older daughters to the Buryat industrial village of Selenginsk, where she began teaching Russian at school. She did not plan to teach her son music, but Oleg himself enrolled in a piano class. True, due to the lack of his own instrument, the training did not last long, but the boy willingly attended choir classes at the Palace of Pioneers and the section athletics, where he managed to grow to the level of candidate master of sports.

In high school he dreamed of creative profession. However, to enter Irkutsk drama school Oleg succeeded only in a not particularly prestigious profession - actor puppet theater. After graduation, he received a honors diploma and risked storming the theater universities of the capital. Fate was favorable to Oleg - he was accepted into GITIS, and the course director, famous actress Lyudmila Kasatkina called Yakovlev her best student.

In 1987, Yakovlev was accepted into the troupe of the Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Theater. Despite the fact that he was involved in many performances, including “Cossacks”, “Lev Gurych Sinichkin”, “Twelfth Night”, his salary young actor was small. In addition to traditional part-time jobs in advertising and radio, Oleg even had to work as a janitor. In 1990, he appeared on screen in a short episode of the film “One Hundred Days Before the Order,” which became one of the first critical reflections on everyday life in the army.

Oleg also tried to perform as a vocalist. In 1997, he even took part in the recording of the video clip “Ivanushek” with the popular composition “Doll”. Soon after this, Oleg heard an announcement on television that Ivanushki International needed a third vocalist to replace Igor Sorin. Oleg recorded several compositions on tape, including such a hit as “White Rosehip,” and sent them to the address of the group’s production center. Soon he was accepted into the trio. This was greatly facilitated not only by his vocal abilities, but also by his small height young singer(170 cm), which made him a suitable replacement for the diminutive Sorin.

True, Oleg’s prominent cheekbones and oriental eyes bore little resemblance to the face of his predecessor, and moreover, deliberately careless highlights were done on the new soloist’s dark hair. The group’s fans did not immediately accept Oleg’s unique appearance, and he had to earn the audience’s appreciation through hard work. However, after the recording of “Poplar Fluff,” which took first place in the charts, Yakovlev began to have more than enough fans. The album “I’ll Scream About This All Night” also became very successful - the third for the group and the debut for Oleg, followed by the collections “Wait for Me” (2000), “Oleg, Andrey, Kirill” (2002). The songs “Bullfinches”, “Beznadega-tochka-ru”, “A Drop of Light” and many others became hits.

In 2002, “Ivanushki” were invited to participate in the concert of Vyacheslav Dobrynin, which took place on the stage of the Kremlin Palace. They were followed by concerts in honor of the opening of the International Youth sports games(Olympic complex) and the celebration of Sovereignty Day (Vasilievsky Spusk).

Best of the day

In 2005, another album of the group was released - “10 Years in the Universe”, which included such hits as “Bouquet of Lilacs”, “I Love”, “Ticket to the Cinema”. However, critics rightly argued that it was not worth compiling an anniversary album based on recoveries. It was obvious that the group's popularity was declining. Producer Igor Matvienko suggested that the singers temporarily suspend work and created a business structure for them to compensate for material losses. However, the period of stagnation did not last long. In 2007, the group performed at a gala concert dedicated to the election of Sochi as the capital of the new Olympics, and they were often invited to various television shows.

Meanwhile, Oleg was increasingly thinking about leaving Ivanushki. In 2006, he starred in an episode of the film “The First Ambulance”; in 2007, he appeared in “Ivanushki” along with others famous performers on Election Day. Yakovlev began to compose his own songs, Igor Matvienko did not object to their performance. According to rumors, this is what led to conflicts among the performers. They also talked about Yakovlev’s strong penchant for alcohol. Be that as it may, in 2012 he announced that he would perform alone. A major role in making this decision is attributed to his common-law wife Alexandra Kutsevol, a journalist who became Oleg’s producer and strongly supported him in his decision to perform solo.

"Dance with your eyes closed" debut video Yakovleva, used great success. It was followed by the release of the album "TVA", several of whose compositions became the basis for video clips. In 2017, Oleg presented the song “Jeans”. The singer worked a lot, and neither colleagues nor friends noticed anything special in his condition, since Yakovlev was always thin and had pale skin. Therefore, his emergency hospitalization at the end of June came as a complete surprise to everyone. Doctors diagnosed bilateral pulmonary edema, Yakovlev was connected to a machine artificial respiration. Alexandra behaved courageously and hoped that the doctors would be highly qualified, but on June 29 the singer passed away. According to relatives, pneumonia developed against the background of a long-term liver disease, for which the singer did not consult a doctor in a timely manner.

During his solo career, Oleg Yakovlev released several videos: “Dance with your eyes closed” (2013), “Call me after three champagnes” (2013) and “The Blue Sea” (2014).

Except musical career, the artists acted in films, playing episodic roles in three films: “One Hundred Days Before the Order” (1990), “1st Ambulance” (2006) and “Election Day” (2007).

Oleg Yakovlev was never officially married. He also had no children.

"Friend Gone"

Participants of "Ivanushki International" Kirill Andreev and Andrey Grigoriev-Appolonov expressed their condolences over the death former soloist groups.

“Today my friend passed away, We lived on tour for 15 years, traveled and flew around the entire globe TOGETHER. I grieve /// My dear Olezhka May the Kingdom of Heaven come to You,” wrote Kirill Andreev in Instagram.

On Sputnik radio, he said that he met with Yakovlev two months ago.

“I was in a state of shock yesterday when I found out that he had been in the hospital for a week already. I didn’t even imagine, because we saw each other two months ago, and everything was fine. And a new video came out, and a song. I don’t even have a thought there was a possibility that something serious could happen. My friend left," said Kirill Andreev.

"How can you say a few words about a person with whom you spent 15 years creative life. Tours, trains, planes, cold hotels - everything happened. The kingdom of heaven for Olezhka, of course. I want his soul to calm down. It’s a pity that it’s so early,” said the lead singer of “Ivanushki”.

Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov also expressed condolences over the death of Yakovlev.

“I’m shocked, my condolences to the friends he had, and to all the fans who loved him as a performer of the songs of the group “Ivanushek International”. This is an absurd death,” he said in an interview

Oleg Yakovlev became famous after appearing in the cult pop group Ivanushki International, becoming its third soloist. Together with the group, he recorded five albums, but then began “building” a solo career.

Oleg Zhamsarayevich Yakovlev was born in the Mongolian capital in November 1969. Oleg’s parents were sent here, to Ulaanbaatar. They came to Mongolia with two daughters, and returned to Soviet Union with three children. Yakovlev's father is an Uzbek by nationality and a Muslim by religion. My mother is from Buryatia and is a Buddhist. Later, when the guy grew up, he did not side with either his father or his mother on the issue of faith, choosing Orthodoxy.

The first 7 years of Oleg Yakovlev’s life passed in Ulaanbaatar. He went to school in Angarsk, but received a certificate of incomplete secondary education in Irkutsk. The son did not upset his parents and was a solid “good student,” but from the first grades he demonstrated a penchant for humanities subjects.

Yakovlev's musical abilities were discovered in early age. Oleg sang in the school choir and the House of Pioneers, studied at music school by choosing a piano class. But musical education The guy never received it. Like his peers, Oleg was fond of sports. He attended the athletics section and received the rank of candidate master of sports.

In high school, Oleg Yakovlev discovered a new hobby - theater. Therefore, after 8th grade, the guy entered the Irkutsk Theater School, from which he graduated with honors, receiving the specialty “puppet theater artist.” But Yakovlev was not happy that the audience saw dolls and not himself.

Yakovlev appeared on the theater stage in productions of “Cossacks”, “Twelfth Night”, “Lev Gurych Sinichkin”.

In 1990 creative biography Oleg Yakovlev has enriched himself with a new page: the actor starred in a cameo role in the military drama “One Hundred Days Before the Order.”

Music

In to the world Russian show business It was no coincidence that Oleg Yakovlev entered. Music and singing attracted him since childhood. After the appearance in Moscow in the early 1990s creative association"Modern Opera" (since 1999 - Theater), Yakovlev got a job there. The theater is known for musicals and rock operas, so the artist could combine acting with vocals.

5 best songs“Ivanushki” by Oleg Yakovlev. Former lead singer of the group “Ivanushki International” Oleg Yakovlev died in Moscow at the age of 48. Let's remember the musician's main hits

Change text size: A A

Now, it’s probably difficult to imagine the excitement around the Ivanushki International group. In the late 90s, they were the real gods of our stage, and, in the absence of Instagram and paparazzi at that time, they were practically inaccessible, which made the forbidden fruit even sweeter. The first shock came to fans when Igor Sorin left the group in 1998 - he was quickly replaced by the new “little Ivanushka” - Oleg Yakovlev. Soon after his departure, Igor Sorin died tragically - he fell from the balcony of the 6th floor. For many years, his fans blamed everyone for the death of their idol and created a real cult of his personality.

Meanwhile, Oleg Yakovlev was slowly settling into the group. His position was not easy - as soon as he joined the group, his predecessor died at strange circumstances. And, of course, the public was not kind to the “replacement.” Many then agreed - he was cute, not at all similar to Sorin in appearance (except perhaps in height) - white, deliberately carelessly highlighted hair, wide Buryat cheekbones inherited from his mother. But Oleg kept his head down and simply did his job.

A talented guy, he came to Moscow from Irkutsk. He studied at GITIS with Lyudmila Kasatkina. Then Armen Dzhigarkhanyan took him to his theater. Armen Borisovich later admitted that he would take Oleg back with great pleasure: the guy is talented. And Yakovlev considered the artistic director his second father. There were difficult times in his life - in order to survive in the capital, he worked as a janitor. And so, it seemed, fate gave him such happy ticket- participation in one of the most popular domestic groups.

Sorin's shadow always hovered somewhere nearby - at first Oleg was even forced to copy him. For a long time, fans did not want to perceive him as a full-fledged member of the group, although he was a member of the group for more than 15 years and in fact saved it after Igor’s death. In addition, he was still a professional actor, not a singer, which is why the other two lead singers of the group, Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov and Kirill Andreev, had a difficult time with him.

But in 2012, Oleg stopped being “Ivanushka”. He left the group and in the interview he did not hide his joy - finally he is alone, he does not divide life (and, apparently, fame) into three parts. And Sorin's shadow no longer hovers over him.

Oleg’s eyes were burning then - a cool author-poet was found, plus Igor Matvienko, the creator of “Ivanushki”, approved of him solo work. Yakovlev shot a video for the song “Dance with Your Eyes Closed” and recorded several more songs. But my career stalled. At that time, Sasha Kutsevol appeared next to the guy, who tried her best to promote the former “Ivanushka”. At first she was his press agent, and then she became common-law wife. And she helped her artist a lot. But, unfortunately, a period began on our stage when young talents began to multiply like mushrooms, the competition was off the charts, and there was not enough money due to the crisis. Plus, Oleg behaved decently and quietly, so he did not give the press much reason to publish. But he never had any serious hits. They said that Oleg began to abuse alcohol - these rumors could well be true, given all the difficulties that arose along his way. He left the group when he was 43 years old - at this age, of course, it is good to have some kind of stability in life, which he did not have.

Even when he left the group, Kirill Andreev in one of his interviews explained Yakovlev’s decision by alcohol abuse. Apparently, thanks to his modest character, we never saw Oleg in a state of intoxication - he was not one of those who act weird at a party, having too much. But he himself admitted that he likes to drink wine, and tequila with friends. Now they write that he had cirrhosis of the liver. The official cause of death was pulmonary edema due to heart failure. Our expert says that Yakovlev had a serious chronic illness. What diseases do people from the pop scene usually have?...

It’s hard, of course, not to think about the terrible, mystical coincidence - two people leave “Ivanushki”, and then leave life. But it’s unlikely that anyone will delve for a long time into the history of the rise and death of Oleg Yakovlev, as they once did with Sorin - times are completely different now.

The main thing you lose with age is the opportunity to die young,” Oleg Yakovlev said in a radio interview about a year ago.

But 47 years is still very early. We will miss him.

OPINION

Stanislav Sadalsky: “Ivanushki” needs to be sung as a duet - third place in the group is damned

Prepared by Yulia KHOZHATELEVA

The famous actor believes that tragic death Oleg Yakovlev is not accidental.

This is some kind of fatal place in “Ivanushki,” he believes famous actor Stanislav Sadalsky. - The very death of Oleg Yakovlev at only 47 years old leads to these thoughts. Remember, first Igor Sorin died, Yakovlev was taken in his place - now he is gone too. And it doesn’t matter what he died from, what the diagnosis was, what matters is that the person’s life is over. The death of one singer from “Ivanushki International” may be tragic accident, the death of two singers is already a pattern. If I were Kirill Turichenko (he was taken into the group after Oleg Yakovlev left it - ed.), I would think hard. But in general, “Ivanushki International” needs to become a duet - just in case, in order to stop this pattern.
