Andrey Makarevich

Andrey Makarevich is the permanent frontman of the legendary Mashina Vremeni band, musician, singer, producer and TV presenter. The active civic position of the bard is not shared by everyone now, he is both loved and hated. The artist himself does not understand why he should seek approval of his own actions in the eyes of others. Throughout life, a person gains experience, knowledge and wisdom, which makes it possible to be content with a personal position on certain issues.

Andrei Vadimovich is perplexed, is it really in everyone that a "child who is afraid of formidable authorities", who is in need of a positive assessment, is ineradicable to the end.

Andrei Makarevich was born into the family of a front-line soldier, architect by profession, Vadim Grigorievich Makarevich and doctor Nina Markovna Shmuylovich. The question of the nationality of the rock musician is often raised. It is known that the bard has Polish and Belarusian roots from his father, and Jewish from his mother.

After the end of the Great Patriotic War, Vadim Makarevich, who lost his leg at the front, taught at an architectural institute. Mom worked as a phthisiatrician, then became a researcher at the Research Institute of Tuberculosis. The boy spent his childhood in a small communal apartment on Volkhonka, in an old house, which before the revolution belonged to the Volkonsky princes. In his early years, Andrei Makarevich demonstrated his enthusiastic nature.

At first he dreamed of becoming a diver, then a paleontologist. Interested in my mother's work, I decided that he would learn to be a herpetologist.

After moving to an apartment on Komsomolsky Prospekt, the family grew by one person - a daughter, Natalya, was born. My father was fond of music. His son Andrei enrolled in a music school, where he chose the piano class, but soon "burned out" and dropped out.

Makarevich studied at one of the prestigious metropolitan schools with in-depth study of the English language. He had a luxurious collection of butterflies and several unusual pets - snakes. It was another hobby of the guy - to become a specialist in the study of these creatures, which terrified all his friends and household.

Fortunately, this hobby is a thing of the past. Andrei fell ill with skiing and swimming, but at the age of 12 he returned to music. And he stopped on her forever.

At first, the teenager enthusiastically listened to the bards, among whom Bulat Okudzhava and Vladimir Vysotsky were loved. The guy himself began to compose poems for songs that he sang with a guitar in the yard. Then the desire was born to gather a group of like-minded people and, to good music, perform beautiful and meaningful texts of his own composition.

The work of "The Beatles" became a real insight for the young man. The songs of this group seemed to have brought a new breath, dividing life into "before" and "after". It seemed to Andrey that he used to walk "with cotton in his ears, but now someone took it out." Every day he began and ended with the music of the legendary band. I recalled my half-childish desire to create my own group. In the 8th grade, Andrei Makarevich did it. The ensemble was named "The Kids". The repertoire of the guys is cover versions of foreign compositions.

In the 9th grade, Andrey Makarevich, together with his comrades Igor Mazaev, Yuri Borzov and Pavel Rubin, became the founders and first members of the Time Machine group. In it, Makarevich is still the face and author of most of the songs. In 1970, the musician entered the Institute of Architecture. But the main thing in his life was rock music. In the 4th year, the student was expelled with the wording "for untimely departure from work at the vegetable base." According to Andrei Makarevich, this was an order of the party instance, which did not like the Soviet guy's hobby for rock.

The young man got a job at the Institute for the Design of Theaters and Spectacular Structures. Here Andrey worked as an architect until 1980. At the same time, Rosconcert signed a contract with the collective. It was a victory for Mashina Vremeni and Andrei Makarevich, because now the group received an official status and could freely tour the country. In the mid-1970s, the musician recovered to the evening department of the Moscow Architectural Institute and completed his education.

Makarevich left the design institute and plunged headlong into his favorite music and songwriting. From that moment on, Andrey's creative biography has been developing rapidly. His songs are loved by both older and middle generations. Young people also know them. “While the candle is burning”, “He was older than her”, “For those in the sea” - these wonderful hits were sung by the whole country.

With concerts "Time Machine" traveled across the country, performances were held in small halls, and gathered thousands of fans. Records began to be released, the first album "In a good hour" was released in 1986, a year earlier - the solo album "Variety". Articles about Makarevich appeared in the press.

In 1991, Andrey's discography was replenished with the album "At the Pawnshop", which included the composition of the same name, the songs "I see the meaning of this life in that" and "Opened the churches again", and in addition, dedication to Alexander Gradsky, Alexander Rosenbaum and Mike Naumenko.

In 1999, a collection of hits was released that sounded in the melodrama "Crossroads" with the participation of Anna Legchilova and Leonid Yarmolnik. The playlist of the album was made up of "The Crossroads of Seven Roads", "We Will Be Together", "By Appointment" and others.

The work in the team remained the main one for the performer, who soon turned into a real star. But he managed to find time for other hobbies. For example, his love of culinary brought the singer to television, where he was entrusted with leading the culinary show "Smak". Then came the program "Underwater World", which broadened the horizons of Andrei Makarevich and allowed him to travel around almost all countries, seas and oceans.

In 2001, Andrei Makarevich's love for jazz resulted in a new group called the Creole Tango Orchestra. And 15 years later, the singer realized his dream of a jazz club. A cozy, intimate establishment with live sound has opened in the center of Moscow, on Sretenka Street. JAM Club consists of 2 isolated rooms and 2 performances can be performed simultaneously.

With musician from the Orchestra Yevgeny Bortsom Makarevich came up with the project "Jazz Transformations". In 2013, vocalist and trumpet player Konstantin Ghevondyan joined them. The result of the collaboration was a concert program "LOVE - Songs about Love".

At the beginning of 2014, Andrey Makarevich expressed his position on the conflict in Ukraine. Later he opposed the transfer of Crimea to the jurisdiction of Russia, and advised pro-Russian activists in eastern Ukraine to "immigrate to the Russian Federation." Bard is close to the White Ribbon Liberals who participated in the so-called Peace March to protest against the Kremlin's official policies. For this Andrei Makarevich was called by many compatriots a traitor and "the fifth column".

Especially loudly the voices of critics began to sound after Andrey gave a concert in Ukrainian Slavyansk. This was seen as a betrayal. State Duma Deputy Yevgeny Fedorov said that all the titles that he received at home should be taken away from the singer. Concerts in St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Samara and other cities had to be canceled.

The singer addressed a letter to Vladimir Putin through the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper. He asked to stop the "sabbath" and stop the "persecution". Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov commented on the appeal, saying that "what he (Andrei Makarevich) interprets as bullying can also be called a reaction of public opinion."

In August 2014, a devastating article appeared in Izvestia under the pretentious title "Singers and Scoundrels". Its author, journalist and writer Alexander Prokhanov, said that Makarevich, having given a concert in Slavyansk in front of the Ukrainian military, inspired the security forces "to kill civilians." But the rock musician himself had explained more than once before that the concert was attended by refugees. After the article was published, he filed a lawsuit with the Savyolovsky court of the capital. The court partially satisfied the claim, recovering half a million rubles from Prokhanov. True, in January the Moscow City Court canceled this decision.

In 2015, Andrei Makarevich, during a visit to Belarus, said that there is a difference between Russians and Belarusians. Supposedly, it lies in the relationship to nature. For Belarusians, it is more European, careful. And the Russians "have a lot in common with the Tatar yoke, with the nomads who did not lead a sedentary lifestyle and shit where they stayed." Of course, at home these words of Makarevich were taken with resentment.

In the summer of 2015, news about the death of Andrei Makarevich appeared on the Internet. Some evil joker threw a rumor on the Internet that the bard was found murdered at the entrance of his house. The poet called the "jokers" on his Facebook page "bastards" and asked everyone else "not to multiply nonsense." In December 2016, the singer made a loud forecast that Vladimir Putin was tired and would not go to the next elections.

The artist was up in arms for the words about the vulgarized concept of patriotism, for not canceling the concert after the terrorist attack in the St. Petersburg metro, that he doubted the advisability of erecting a monument to Mikhail Kalashnikov as the man who created the weapon. However, the words about the Russians - "evil morons" - a number of media outlets nevertheless pulled out of context, as indicated by Dmitry Peskov.

Andrei then commented on the words of his subscriber to the post about the Americans. Residents of the United States, according to the singer, are "calmer and kinder than Russians", and, apparently, "opened some 25th frame, which really turns people into evil morons." Makarevich did not understand where the parallels in relation to the citizens of Russia came from, and therefore urged to read the phrase carefully again.

It is known that the bard, poet and TV presenter was officially married three times. He has three children from different marriages. For the first time, Andrei Makarevich married in 1976 to Elena, the daughter of the famous Soviet political observer Igor Fesunenko. The couple lived together for 3 years and broke up for some unknown reason. There were no children in this marriage. Elena subsequently married a Polish director who made a documentary about The Time Machine and its leader.

The personal life of Andrei Makarevich changed in 1986. The second wife of the singer was the cosmetologist Alla Golubkina, the ex-wife of Alexei Romanov, the creator of "Resurrection". In the summer of 1987, the first-born Vanya was born in the family.

Son Ivan is like two drops of water like his famous father in his youth. But the common child did not strengthen this marriage: the couple divorced almost immediately after the appearance of their son. Andrei Vadimovich communicates with Vanya and is keenly interested in his life.

Ivan played the drum kit in the school team, completed the course of Konstantin Raikin at the Moscow Art Theater School and the RATI, writes music for films and theatrical performances. On the Internet, his works are published under the pseudonym James Oclahoma.

In the mid-1990s, rumors appeared about Andrei Makarevich's romance with the famous radio host Ksenia Strizh. But the girl herself then said that the rumors were greatly exaggerated. Allegedly, with the famous rocker, she really was close for several years, but not in the interpretation that most people put into this word.

At the end of the same "dashing 90s" the artist lived for several years in a civil marriage with the press attaché of the "Time Machine" group Anna Rozhdestvenskaya. The journalist in 2000 gave birth to the star's daughter Anya. But even here the child did not become a connecting link: the couple broke up.

Three years later, Andrei Makarevich married for the third time. Make-up artist Natalya Golub turned out to be his legal wife. This marriage also turned out to be fragile and finally broke up in 2010.

At the same time, information appeared that the artist had an illegitimate daughter. The girl's name is Dana, she is married and lives in Philadelphia. The daughter sometimes sees her father, but rarely comes to Russia.

According to press reports and information from social networks, the musician has recently been living with the singer Masha Katz, who is called his common-law wife.

Makarevich does not have a personal account on Instagram, photos of the singer periodically appear on the official website and on the Time Machine page. The group opened an online store in 2018.

Business entered Andrey's life long ago. The musician co-founded a dental clinic, a chain of diving goods stores, collaborates with the Imperial Porcelain Factory in St. Petersburg - his drawings adorn tableware.

Exhibitions of Andrei Makarevich-artist were held in Italy and Latvia, San Francisco, New York and the Moscow Manege.

Another aspect of a musician is writing. Makarevich is the author of about 3 dozen books on a variety of topics. These are autobiographical memoirs and poems, allegorical tales and culinary recipes from famous guests of the "Smak" TV show.

In the spring of 2018, the singer presented a video for the song "Either That or That" from the album "Chronicle of Current Events", released 5 years earlier. In July, the artist's fans received the YO 5 studio album, which is a collection of jazz arrangements of the Time Machine songs. The disc is available for free download on Internet resources. However, those wishing to reimburse the musicians for the recording costs are invited to transfer any amount on the project's web page.

Now Andrei Makarevich is preparing a concert of the Yo5 group in Israel, with Vladimir Pozner he plays in the play "Damn, Soldier and Violin" on the stage of the St. Petersburg "Music Hall Theater".
