He always goes his own way, even if it seems wrong to someone. Let's talk about how Garik Sukachev, whose biography includes different periods, went from a railwayman to one of the most prominent figures of modern Russian culture.
Childhood
Garik Sukachev was born, a biography whose parents are so interested in the general public, on December 1, 1959 in the village of Myakinino, near Moscow. Igor's father went through the entire Second World War, worked in a factory in peacetime, but he always loved music and even played the trumpet in an ensemble in a factory club. Mom during the war ended up in a German concentration camp, and this taught her to appreciate every moment of her life. She worked as a cook all her life. She gave this gift to her son, who always lives with full dedication. When Igor was 6 years old, the family moved to Tushino, where the years of the boy’s formation passed. Garik fully understood all the features of life on the outskirts. As a teenager, he often participated in fights, spent a lot of time communicating with local punks, early learned the taste of tobacco and alcohol. The environment in which he lived clearly did not bode well, the music saved Garik.
Education
Ivan Fedorovich Sukachev, the father of the future rock star, was very fond of music. Therefore, he set himself the goal of growing from the son of a professional musician, for this boy was sent to learn to play the button accordion. Igor in childhood wanted to draw more, but his father considered this lesson to be futile. Bayan Garik almost hated it, the boy was forced to learn difficult passages for hours, and he more wanted to drive the ball with friends on the street. Later, a choir of radio and television was added to the music school, in which Igor fell for his hearing and voice. All this took a lot of time, and the boy does not study well at school.
Garik Sukachev, whose biography began in the village of Tushino near Moscow, at the age of 12 he first heard rock and roll, and this changed his whole life. He categorically refuses to continue to play the button accordion and undertakes to study playing the guitar. This caused a sharp indignation on the part of the father; scandals have repeatedly arisen in the family. But Garik was able to defend his development scenario. Passion for music negatively impacted on school. Garik with a team of associates performs in different schools in the evenings, in the housing office, and even in motor depots. In the evenings, he disappears in the yard, and he has no time to study, and he does not want to. After the 8th grade, he had to go to school. He enters the railway technical school, where he immediately enters the local ensemble, performing at evenings and dancing. But at the same time, Sukachev is a good student, he even likes it. His thesis was the project of a railway station in Tushino.
By the time he graduated from the school, Garik was firmly determined to connect his life with music. By this time, he is already well acquainted with the Moscow Region and Moscow rock party, he communicates with hippies and other "informals". At this time, Sergey Galanin became his close friend, and together they decide to enter a music school. Sukachev soon received a diploma of the director of the national theater and finally went into music with his head.

The group played psychedelic rock, and when Garik left the band, he was renamed the Bravo group, which Havtan leads today.
