In the summer of 2018 will be the anniversary of the death of the former soloist of the group "Ivanushki" Yakovlev Oleg Zhamsaraevich. We suggest once again recalling a wonderful singer and just a good person who performed the hits of the 90s “Bullfinches”, “Movie Ticket” and many others dear to the heart.
early years
His biography begins in the city of Choibaslan, in Mongolia, where the future singer was born on November 18, 1969. The boy grew up without a father and subsequently never saw him. It is believed that this was facilitated by the mother, since she gave birth to Oleg quite late - she was 42 years old, and her father was her younger than almost 20 years and was not going to get married. Despite the fact that the local military court ordered the young man to marry, the singer's mother did not forgive him and hastened to get rid of any memories associated with him. Yakovlev Oleg Zhamsaraevich patronymic of his own grandfather.
However, this difficulty in life did not affect childhood and the further formation of the future "Ivanushka". Pleased the family with the title of "good" at school, played the piano, was involved in athletics and even became a candidate for master of sports. In a word, it was comprehensively developed from a young age.
After school, he went to the Irkutsk Theater School and received his main profession - an actor of a puppet theater. Oleg Yakovlev understood that he did not like to remain behind the curtains, to be instead of dolls, and he decided to conquer the capital.
The new "Ivanushka"
Arriving in Moscow, he makes a fateful decision to become a student of GITIS, after his graduation he successfully gets a job in the theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. All the last years of creativity speaks of his theatrical mentor as a second father, since Armen Borisovich had a strong influence on young Oleg and his subsequent work.
After some time, an announcement came to my eyes that a soloist was required in a youth group. After trying his luck, the young man writes down several excerpts from theatrical productions and in March 1998 he became the soloist of the most popular group at that time, Ivanushki International, and, despite leaving the team 15 years later, Oleg Yakovlev before his death and there will be more known as a bright soloist of this amazing team.
Fame and relationship with the team
Oleg did not immediately fit into the group, especially after the tragic death of the previous soloist. Fans shouted the name of Igor Sorin at concerts, but after some time both the guys in the team and the fans fell in love with a charming and peculiar young man. Everyone noticed a similarity between Igor and Oleg. In addition to short stature and lean physique, both were closed, gave the least interviews and seemed to live somewhere in the depths of their inner “I”. Unfortunately, the lives of both tragically ended shortly after leaving Ivanushki.
And yet, from 1998 to 2013, the team pleased with concerts not only in Russia but also abroad, colleagues noted that, despite the overwhelming popularity and fame, Oleg did not suffer from “star disease”, he was always friendly and kind. In the photo, Yakovlev Oleg Zhamsaraevich often appeared with the whole group.
Personal life of Oleg Yakovlev
A family. Mother died in 1996, not having time to catch the popular success of her son. It is known that there is a niece and grand-nephews. In one of the interviews, the answer was clearly given that Oleg Yakovlev had an illegitimate child. His identity, age and location are currently unknown. As the singer himself said in a conversation, with age it is more difficult to let the soul mate into an existing life order, apparently, the ex-soloist Ivanushek described the reason for the absence of marriage ties with the mother of his child.
Love. Despite the huge army of fans that the singer had throughout his life, he considered using his fame to gain love to be dishonest. Oleg had an affair with singer Irina Dubtsova, but they did not agree on the characters, having parted as good friends. The last lady of the heart was a journalist and an ardent fan of the singer from childhood, Alexander Kutsevol. There were no remarkable details in the biography of the common-law wife, it is known that for the sake of an idol she moved to the capital, won his heart and worked as his producer. He decided to start a solo career after her recommendation.
Solo career
Thoughts about independent development in the world of show business crept in some time before the official announcement in 2013 that Oleg left the Ivanushki group. Why did you leave the group? Yakovlev Oleg Zhamsaraevich often heard this question from journalists. He answered that he wanted to stand out, to be an individual, one on the stage, and not “the little white of Ivanushki”. As you know, his common-law wife Alexandra was the initiator of this decision. As it turns out later, the fatal …
Despite the release of several songs, the shot clips, as well as participation in various events (including private ones), popularity did not increase. On the contrary, Oleg disappeared from the big screens, where his former team continued to appear periodically in an updated composition - a young and talented Kirill Turichenko was taken in place of Yakovlev. Of course, the decline in creative activity affected the morale, and it began to destroy health.
