Summer 2018 will be the anniversary of the death of the former soloist of the group "Ivanushki" Yakovlev Oleg Zhamsaraevich. We offer once again to recall the wonderful singer and just a good person who performed the hits of the 90s dear to the heart "Bullfinches", "Ticket to the cinema" and many others.

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 the mother contributed to this, since she gave birth to Oleg at a rather late age - she was 42 years old, and her father was almost 20 years younger than her and was not going to marry. Despite the fact that the local military court ordered the young man to marry, the singer's mother did not forgive him and hurried to get rid of all the memories associated with him. Yakovlev Oleg Zhamsaraevich has the patronymic of his own grandfather.

However, this life difficulty did not affect the childhood and the further formation of the future "Ivanushka". He pleased his family with the title of “good student” at school, played the piano, went in for athletics and even became a candidateto the master of sports. In a word, he was comprehensively developed from a young age.

After school, I went to the Irkutsk Theater School and got my main profession - an actor in the puppet theater. Oleg Yakovlev understood that he did not like to stay behind the scenes, to be instead of puppets, and he decided to conquer the capital.

New "Ivanushka"

Arriving in Moscow, he makes a fateful decision to become a student of GITIS, after graduation he successfully gets a job at the theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. All the last years of his work, he speaks of his theatrical mentor as a second father, since Armen Borisovich had a strong influence on the young Oleg and his subsequent work.

After a while, an announcement comes across that a soloist is required in a youth group. Having tried his luck, the young man records several excerpts from theatrical productions and in March 1998 becomes the soloist of the most popular group at that time, Ivanushki International, and, despite leaving the group 15 years later, Yakovlev Oleg Zhamsaraevich before his death and after it will be more known as a bright soloist of this amazing band.

Glory and relations 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 the charming and peculiar young man. Everyone noticed the similarities between Igor and Oleg. In addition to their short stature and thin physique, both were reserved, gave the fewest interviews and seemed to live somewhere in the depths of their inner self. Unfortunately, the lives of both were tragically cut short shortly after leaving Ivanushki.

And yet, in the period from 1998 to 2013, the team pleased with concerts not only in Russia, but also abroad, colleagues noted that, despite the collapse of popularity and fame, Oleg did not suffer from “star fever”, he always was friendly and kind. In the photo, Yakovlev Oleg Zhamsaraevich often appeared with the full composition of the group.

Personal life of Oleg Yakovlev

Family. Mother died in 1996, not having time to catch the national success of her son. It is known that there is a niece and great-nephews. In one of the interviews, the answer was clearly given that Yakovlev Oleg Zhamsaraevich has an illegitimate child. His identity, age and whereabouts are currently unknown. As the singer himself said in a conversation, with age it is more difficult to let your soulmate into the already established order of life, apparently, this is how the ex-soloist of Ivanushki described the reason for the lack 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 it dishonest to use his fame to find love. Oleg had an affair with singer Irina Dubtsova, but they did not get along, parting as good friends. The last lady of the heart was a journalist and an ardent fan of the singer since childhood, Alexander Kutsevol. There are no remarkable details in the biography of the common-law wifeit turned out that it was 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, alone on stage, and not “white from Ivanushki”. As you know, his common-law wife Alexandra was the initiator of this decision. As it turns out later, fatal…

Despite the release of several songs, filmed 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 periodically appear in an updated line-up - the young and talented Kirill Turichenko was taken in Yakovlev's place. Of course, the decline in creative activity affected morale, and it began to destroy he alth.

Last years of life

In pursuit of the inexpressible drive and feeling that the stage gave the singer, he began to work mercilessly, ignoring the he alth problems that developed against the backdrop of regular stress. Colleagues in the workshop said that Oleg had addictions in the form of smoking and excessive drinking. The audience began to notice an unhe althy tired complexion and weakness in movements. One week before hospitalization"ex-Ivanushki" had a performance in the city of Tver, where in an interview filmed for local television, eyes yellowed from illness and a gray complexion were clearly visible. Nevertheless, he completed the entire program and was warmly received by the public, for which he later thanked the residents of Tver on social networks.

As reported on June 28, 2017, the media, Yakovlev was hospitalized with bilateral pneumonia, which developed against the background of cirrhosis of the liver.

Doctors fought for the life of the singer, connected artificial ventilation of the lungs, but, unfortunately, it was not possible to save him. The date of death of Oleg Zhamsaraevich Yakovlev is June 29, 2017. He was only 47 years old. He was buried on July 1 at the Troyekurovsky cemetery;
