The sorcerer Yuri Longo was born in 1950. In those days, he was recorded in documents under the name of Golovko. The future famous magician was born in the village of Nezamaevskaya. He will live a long life, will die at the age of 55 in the metropolitan area. The man became known as an illusionist, built a career as a magician, led several shows, published a number of rather popular books. For himself, he chose a master's degree in white magic, which is applicable in practice.
Why is it famous?
Yuri Andreevich Longo participated in the creation of the television program "Third Eye" simultaneously as a producer and author in a team with other people. Known for his participation in several films. Perhaps, the “Lenin Body” is considered to be the most popular. Many have seen the video “The Wizard, ” created with the involvement of Longo. He participated in the filming of "The Witch of Witchcraft", played a role in the film "Master."
Quite well-known and popular books written by the magician Yuri Longo. The most popular is called the "Third Eye." Those interested probably heard more than once, and possibly read cover to cover, the work “Profession - Sorcerer”, also published by Longo. From his pen came out publications telling about the sacraments of magic used in practice, of love witchcraft. He published a collection of recipes that help, according to the author, to recover from absolutely any disease. Longo was the author of a family herbalist, in which he considered treatment options for many health problems.
How it all began
As is known from the biography of Yuri Longo, the boy was born into a teacher's family, in particular, his mother taught mathematics to village children. In his youth, Yuri entered the art school, but he did not manage to finish his studies in it. Arriving in the capital region, he went to study at a drama school. In addition, Yuri successfully received a diploma from the University of Leningrad, confirming the specialization of “psychologist”. His career was marked by a productive working relationship with Goncharov, who led the Hypnotic School in Moscow.
The perestroika period was marked, as evidenced by the biography of Yuri Longo, with new opportunities and ways. The crisis time was characterized by a rather malleable public consciousness, which the sorcerer took advantage of - he began to allegedly heal the suffering. Later it was possible to organize magic sessions through television broadcasting. It was then that his skillfully staged performance, in which the sorcerer resurrected a seemingly hopelessly dead person, gained popularity. In his performances, the magician actively showed his strengths as a born theater-goer; viewers could see the results of hypnosis, pyro-, telekinesis. Longo became a popular and well-known clairvoyant; his predictions were published more than once in central publications. In the 90th interview of a popular person, the publication "God forbid!"
Life: Milestones
As you know from biographies, the personal life of Yuri Longo was quite eventful. Three times he had official wives, in his second marriage a daughter Julia was born. Subsequently, the sorcerer will have grandchildren: Ilyusha and Ksyusha.
In February 2006, the magician Yuri Longo suffered a heart attack. The man was hospitalized, was soon released to rehab home. Two days after the first case, the attack repeated. Phoning Safronov, Longo convinced him to urgently fly to Moscow and bring him medicine. This did not work - at half-past ten in the morning of February 17, the clairvoyant died. A medical report found aortic aneurysm. The unofficial version says that black caviar became the reason for everything. As the secretary of the sorcerer later said, shortly before that, he received a jar of product as a presentation from a certain unknown lady. Secretary Alla was firmly convinced that the man was poisoned.
Rumors and speculation
Some argue that the magician Yuri Longo received Orthodox baptism shortly before his death. This version is otherwise doubtful, since the servants of Orthodoxy demanded that the sorcerer officially officially renounce his activities as publicly as possible. There was no such renunciation. The funeral service for the deceased was organized in the St. Nicholas Church in Khamovniki. The remains were buried in Moscow Vostryakovsky cemetery. The burial ceremony was held on February 20.
The master of "revitalization" Yuri Longo left his heirs, according to some, about one and a half million US dollars. In this amount, his inheritance was estimated at the month of his death.
True or not?
At one time, "Revitalization of the Dead" by Yuri Longo was a unique show that aroused exceptional national interest. Many wondered how it is possible to bring a dead person back to life, whether it is worth believing what is shown on the screens. In the 91st year, an article about the disclosure of this popular trick was published in Komsomolskaya Pravda. It turned out that the man first showed in front of the camera how he revives the deceased, but after turning off he admitted that his assistant, the master of pretending, was supposedly dead. The dead man in the tricks was Aleksey Gaivan, and the idea of such a number belonged to Goncharov, and at that moment he was a good friend of the sorcerer.
With the photo, Yuri Longo looks with a confident look of a man who does not doubt his ability to work with the forces of this and the other world. But in the capabilities of other sorcerers of his time, he was sure much weaker. In particular, more than once entered into a polemic with Grabovsky. This magician became famous for his numerous assurances of the ability to resurrect the victims of the terrorist attack in Beslan. Longo accused Grabowski, called him a liar, a cynic. As many have said, it was this quarrel that caused the heart attack, followed by the development of an aortic aneurysm and sudden death.
Politics and life
Yuriy Longo gained fame because of his attitude to Ukrainian politics. In 2004, Yushchenko took the presidency, about which the magician immediately authoritatively declared: this man is nothing more than a fake. He convinced those around him: the real Yushchenko had already been killed for a long time, and his double was taken over by the presidency, who, for greater resemblance, had several plastic surgeries. The sorcerer claimed that medical events were organized at a secret center in Poland.
Yuri Longo did not ignore the story of Yushchenko’s poisoning with dioxin. The magician argued that nothing of the kind actually happened, and the strange appearance of the politician was connected exclusively with the substitution of man. An environment that had no idea how to explain changes in appearance to the people invented the dioxin option. The presidential administration, however, did not support the sorcerer’s opinion, having officially put forward his assumption: in this way the magician and the clairvoyant simply try to become famous, draw attention to his person, and he does this rather unsuccessfully and ineptly.
What did people say?
Many friends and relatives, including Yuri Longo's wife, Elena Longo, admitted that the man was amazing, unique - as if two personalities completely different from each other seemed to coexist in him. The whole power knew one who was able to lead the crowd into ecstasy, had amazing healing abilities, could show tricks, which the simple viewer could not explain. Another Yuri was known only to his friends and relatives. Then they will compare the magician with the child, entangled in the problems and difficulties of the adult world. When he died, it happened so suddenly that many simply refused to believe. Even at the time of the funeral ceremony, a lot of people were sure: now he will get up, smile, speak. Effectively, could a person who, during his lifetime, seem to have the strength to revive the dead, die? The audience was sure that a funeral was nothing more than a show.
As Yuri Longo told in his interviews, there is a tradition in the magical community - a dying sorcerer is obliged to take his student by the hands. He assured that such a method is the only method of transferring knowledge; otherwise, the accumulated valuable information cannot be conveyed to another. Yuri said that this is how he received his talents and abilities from a dying grandfather: Dmitrius lived for over a century, died at the age of 105, and shortly before his death, took his grandson's hands in his own, thereby passing on to him all the secrets that made Yuri so popular in the future.
Curious and interesting
Goncharov, a friend and close friend of Yuri Longo, said that the sorcerer was confident in his family ties with Longo. Dmitrius was a fairly popular fakir, showing the public a variety of miracles. Could, as came from the stories of the audience, get his eye out of the eye socket, put it on a plate. Dmitrius was an authority for Yuri. As Goncharov explained, it was for this reason that the man chose the name Longo for himself, actively promoting the idea of kinship.
To speak independently, the clairvoyant worked out his image in detail. Even the wives of Yuri Longo will perceive him in a scenic image as a distant hermit - that is what he wanted to look like for others, posing as a monk. Longo must choose suitable chains for any performance, put on a snow-white hoodie. He seemed to be far from any worldly troubles and difficulties, from everything mundane. However, this was the image created for the public. The real person was distinguished by his characteristic features and features.
About personal life
Another famous author of numerous books by Yuri Longo was Nikas Safronov. Later, when the sorcerer dies, he will tell the press that he was always surprised at the unusual tastes of his comrade. Yuri especially liked the full ladies - such as Rubens depicted in his paintings. The most striking special was Elena, met by the sorcerer in the 87th. She was just beginning her singing career, and at one of the presentations of her talent, Yuri turned out to be by chance.
Already becoming the widow of the famous author of books Yuri Longo, Elena will tell: the man was short, but always appeared in the company of attractive and fashionable people. Next to him were tall models of incredible beauty. Usually they led the sorcerer under his arms, and from the outside everything looked not just presentable, but very beautiful, immediately attracted attention and distinguished the trinity from the general background. One evening, at which Elena presented her talent, Yuri approached a young woman. Why - she never knew, but suggested that something attracted to her. She was only seventeen then, she was blonde, wore a scarlet cloak. The man offered to work together, but Elena knew almost nothing about him. Her first decision was to refuse. Yuri has already celebrated his 38th birthday, the age difference scared the girl. True, the magician's perseverance was not taken away, and he decided to resort to his most powerful qualities.
You can succeed
Then Elena will tell that Yuri called her once and offered to tell her where she is, what clothes she is currently using. She agreed to listen to the man, and he described in detail. As the widow of Longo would later recall, only then did she understand who exactly became interested in her. Yuri, who had already created a certain image by this time, got at his disposal a magnificent girl in the role of an assistant - in the future she will become his wife. It was clear that career success can be achieved if you come up with a new issue that suits the taste of the public, as well as properly submit and advertise yourself. Given the particulars of the sorcerer’s career, it was clear that a scandal could be the best advertisement. For the first time, the idea that it was necessary to create a sensation was proposed by Goncharov.
It was decided that success can be achieved if you create a sort of information bomb. The calculation turned out to be correct: sensations attract the public more than anything else. Even then, Longo was often shown on television, so there were good opportunities for promotion. Reflections on a possible scenario ended with the idea of reviving the dead. Gonchakov recalled the Tibetan techniques recorded in rare books, but immediately recognized that it was impossible to do everything in exact accordance with the descriptions of the eastern magicians in the realities of Russia.
About times, about manners!
Today, many people want to see a photo of the grave of Yuri Longo in order to identify it in the Moscow cemetery, where the sorcerer, who received such significant fame, is buried.
Many remember how they first learned about him, from which show they met a promising magician. The persistent man quickly realized: the idea of reviving the dead can bring him real success, the very one thanks to which he will be remembered all his life after death - his calculations were justified, and today Longo’s grave is constantly decorated with fresh flowers. Assurances of a friend of the impossibility of implementing oriental practices had a weak effect on the confidence of the magician. He began preparations for a sensational show, setting himself the task of the whole world to demonstrate the process of revitalization.
Later, Goncharov will recall that in those days Longo lived near the Sklifosovsky Institute. New ideas required activity, the sorcerer did not waste time: literally every day he visited the famous morgue for work. Goncharov himself, being at that moment to some extent a mentor of Longo, treated this rather condescendingly, not expecting much success. As the near future showed, Longo was right in assessing his prospects - a new show became for him a source of incredible popularity.
Parapsychology
For a television show, as detailed as possible and responsibly, given every little thing, they shot several scenes. It seems that a dead man suddenly starts to rise, and a nurse standing next to her is ready to faint. The video turned out to be an information bomb. Her effect did not have to wait long. Almost immediately after the release of the program, Yuri was recognized as one of the most important figures in the parapsychology of his time. There were practically no television programs in this area wherever he was invited. The main magic number was soaring. Yuri walked on water, using the energy from his hands to burn the grass. The highlight of the program could be the revival of the deceased, but the sorcerer persistently rejected all offers to repeat such a practice. Details of what the real revitalization was then were not known to anyone then - they will begin to be published later.
Makhmutov later admits that even at the time of filming, he knew: in the place of the deceased to be revived, the entertainer and presenter lay. An extremely narrow circle of initiates knew that the whole process of resurrection was carefully planned, set, played out - all for the sake of the audience’s delight. And Yuri himself, shortly before his death, confessed to this fraud. But the times were troubled, the public was ready to believe in any, even the most incredible stories, and Longo’s experiments in the morgue became a source of hope for many: anyone, even Lenin, could be resurrected. The sorcerer controlled the mood of the crowd, moreover, he repeatedly said that his strength was enough to raise a great politician from the dead. However, relatives did not take his statements seriously. Goncharov, for example, admitted that even if Longo could actually revive the dead, he would not work with the body of Lenin. But for newspapers, the main thing was the material from which to make a sensation, and everyone vied with each other to write about the possible resurrection of Lenin. This happened to the magician very opportunely, benefited his career.
