Vertinsky’s romances and brilliantly performed them.

In the biography of Oleg Pogudin, his wife and marital status are not mentioned. It is difficult to judge whether the singer so carefully conceals the facts of his personal life or has completely devoted his life to creativity and spiritual development.

Therefore, it is difficult to draw conclusions, because it is impossible to find information in the biography of Oleg Pogudin about his wife and children.
"Thirst for God"
In his article “Thirst for God”, he tells how he was baptized in 1988, how the Gospel came to his life, revealing the meaning and truth of our stay on Earth. He writes how difficult it is to observe prayer rules, fasts, but it is church discipline that helps to temper the will and not turn off the bright path to God, where everyone is faced with many temptations and obstacles.

Titanic labor
Reading the biography of Oleg Pogudin, one would think that his path is strewn with roses on the way to glory. But to understand what a singer’s work is, probably, can only people who were engaged in singing. These are rehearsals, excitement, responsibility, performance in good and bad mood and health. Oleg speaks of how the words of the Gospel are suitable for singing: “The power of God is accomplished in weakness.” When a singer sings heart and soul, wants to convey to every spectator the meaning of songs, when he gives all his best at concerts, a unique inspired atmosphere is created and some kind of sacrament is performed, such concerts will never be forgotten by the spectator or performer.
Bulat Okudzhava - a brilliant poet of our time
One of these concerts was the Sevastopol performance of Oleg Pogudin. In the biography of the artist, there is rarely a mention of this evening. The artist stepped on the stage of a crowded room, apologized for being sick and unable to sing at full strength, but the concert will take place. He sat on a chair with a guitar and began to sing the songs of Bulat Okudzhava. “The song about Moscow ant” sounded like a revelation, “Sorry for the infantry”, “The last trolley” - it seemed there was no hall, no singer, but Arbat, the streets of old Moscow, and there was a conversation about something important and sacred.
