On the morning of June 29, the former soloist of the Ivanushki International group, Oleg Yakovlev, died on the 48th year of his life. 10 days the singer lay in intensive care with a diagnosis of bilateral pneumonia and died of cardiac arrest. Oleg's death was a complete surprise to his colleagues and fans ...
1. Oleg Yakovlev was born on November 18, 1969 in Ulan Bator.
His father he never saw, since he was born as a result of a stormy but short novel between his 42-year-old mother Buryatka and a young 18-year-old Uzbek. Subsequently, the mother never told her son about his father ... However, according to the singer's recognition, he did not have a desire to learn anything about him.
2. Oleg's first specialty is the puppet theater actor.
He graduated with honors from the Irkutsk Theater School, but acted as an actor of the puppet theater for only a month. According to the musician, he did not like to work behind the screen, but wanted to perform on stage. In this regard, the young man decided to move to Moscow.
3. He enrolled immediately in three leading theatrical high school.
Despite the fact that all Oleg's acquaintances claimed that with his appearance it is possible to work only behind the screen, he immediately went to three theatrical high schools: GITIS, Shchukinsky School and the Moscow Art Academic Theater. Oleg stopped his choice at GITIS.
4. Oleg called his second father Armen Borisovich Dzhigarkhanyan.
It was in the theater of Dzhigarkhanyan Oleg that he performed as an actor, playing roles in such performances as "Cossacks", "Twelfth Night", "Lev Gurych Sinichkin".
5. In the group "Ivanushki International" Oleg got on the ad, which said that the team is looking for a new soloist in the place of Igor Sorin.
Oleg recorded the song "White Hips" and sent a cassette to the producer center of Igor Matvienko. Out of the thousands of entries, Igor Matvienko selected Oleg's cassette. It seemed to him that his voice was very similar to the voice of Igor Sorin.
6. Oleg Yakovlev gave the team almost a third of his life - 15 years: from 1998 to 2013 he was a permanent soloist of the group.
During this time, "Ivanushki" became his second family. For the sake of his favorite work, Oleg went to any sacrifices, according to acquaintances, could with a temperature of 40 to act in a 30-degree frost. However, in 2013 he left the group and continued his career path alone.
7. Oleg was never officially married and had no children.
The last 5 years he lived in a civil marriage with journalist Alexandra Kutsevol, on which he was going to marry. According to the couple's friends, she was not only his lover, but also a muse, companion and business partner. It was Alexandra that prompted Oleg to make a solo career.
8. On June 1 Oleg presented the song "Jeans".
This composition was the last one published during his lifetime. The singer planned to shoot a clip on it, but he did not have time.
9. Oleg's last record on Facebook was made on June 18, 11 days before his death.
The singer congratulated the doctors on the Day of Medical Worker and thanked them for being alive and well:
"I congratulate on the day of the medical worker of all my friends-doctors, thanks to whom I am alive and well, and also all the doctors of our country. Thank you very much, be healthy yourself! "
10. Users of social networks saw in the death of Oleg Yakovlev mysticism.
His predecessor, Igor Sorin, died in 1998 after he left the group. Oleg also died after he left the collective.
11. Colleagues speak of Oleg as a very kind, bright and delicate person.
He never shared his sorrows with anyone and kept all his troubles with him. Despite his popularity, he was a very lonely person. His character was influenced, apparently, by the fact that he was left without family support early: he never knew his father, and his mother suffered a lot and died when the singer was still young enough.
Oleg was very hard to survive the death of his sister Svetlana in 2010, but did not tell anyone about his loss, smiled in public, kept himself in his usual benevolent manner. It is because of this secrecy, the reluctance to burden others with their problems, almost none of the close associates of the singer, including Kirill Andreyev and Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov, did not know that Oleg is seriously ill.
Many of Oleg's colleagues can not recover from his sudden death. The closest shared their feelings in social networks. Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov wrote:
