Mikhail Tankhilevich

Mikhail Isaevich Tanich is a Soviet and Russian songwriter, artistic director of the Lesopoval music group. Songs written on the poems of Tanich were included in the repertoire of pop performers, sounded in films.

Mikhail was born in September 1923 in Taganrog. Tanich is the creative pseudonym of the poet, and the real name is Tankhilevich. The father and ancestors along this line were Jews.

At the age of 4, Mikhail Tanich learned to read. He began to rhyme a little later. Like many guys, football was his biggest hobby for Mikhail. Dad gave the first ball to the boy when he was 5 years old. Parents rejoiced at the talent of their son, who wrote poetry and was fond of drawing.

A happy childhood ended for Mikhail Tanich in an instant. When the young man turned 14, his father, the head of the Taganrog communal services department, was arrested on charges of embezzling socialist property. Isaak Tankhilevich was soon shot. They also took Mikhail's mother. The young man had to move to his grandfather, mother's father in Rostov-on-Don. Here in 1941 Misha received his school certificate.

A year later he went to fight. It was necessary to liberate the homeland from the Nazis on the Belorussian and Baltic fronts. Mikhail was assigned to the anti-tank artillery troops. During his military service, Tanich was seriously wounded and concussed and nearly ended up in a common grave. After the hospital, he again went to the front, where he almost died again, falling through the winter ice of the Latvian lake. Tanich managed to meet the victory in Germany. Mikhail's photos of the war period still occupy a place of honor in the family archive. Later, his colleague, Bulat Okudzhava, used the recollections of the songwriter when creating a script for the military comedy Zhenya, Zhenechka and Katyusha.

After the war, Tanich came to Rostov-on-Don, where he entered an engineering and construction university. But I did not have time to finish my studies. On a denunciation of one of the students, Mikhail was arrested and accused of anti-Soviet agitation: in a student company, the young man mentioned that German radio technology is better than Soviet. This turned out to be enough to get 6 years of strict regime.

Mikhail Tanich was sent to a logging site near Solikamsk to serve his sentence. And here the young man, who barely survived the war, almost died again. He was saved only by the fact that the talented boy was taken to the brigade, where Mikhail was responsible for visual agitation. Everyone who arrived in the same party with Tanich died in 6 years.

Mikhail Isaevich could return to freedom only after the death of Joseph Stalin. But for three years, the former prisoner received a restriction in rights. His creative career began in the provinces. At first, Mikhail lived on Sakhalin. He worked part-time in a local newspaper where his poems were published. Here for the first time the poet signed himself with the invented surname Tanich.

In 1956, the future songwriter was rehabilitated, but did not immediately go to Moscow. First of all, Mikhail decided to send several poetic works to the editorial office of Literaturnaya Gazeta and immediately received an approving response from Bulat Okudzhava. Bard advised the young man to move closer to the capital, which Mikhail Tanich did, settling in the city of Orekhovo-Zuevo for a long time.

The creative biography of Mikhail Tanich developed successfully. Soon after meeting the editorial board of the Literaturnaya Gazeta, the young man was already actively collaborating with various publications. A year after moving to the Moscow region, his debut collection of poems was released.

Once in the publishing house "Moskovsky Komsomolets" Tanich met with Yan Frenkel. This acquaintance turned out to be fateful. The song "Textile Town" was the first fruit of joint creativity. After the air hit, the audience approved of the hit. And the first performer was Maya Kristalinskaya herself.

Mikhail Tanich continued his fruitful cooperation with Frenkel, and then found other poets and composers who were close in spirit. Nikita Bogoslovsky, Vladimir Shainsky, Eduard Kolmanovsky and Oskar Feltsman are the most famous of those with whom Tanich worked in tandem.

The first popularly beloved hit of Tanich, written together with Shainsky, was the song "Black Cat". Then another followed, called "Robot", which was sung by Alla Pugacheva. The beginning singer at that time was only 15 years old. The early hits of Igor Nikolaev and Vladimir Kuzmin were also written by Mikhail Isaevich.

Many pop stars were proud of their collaboration with the famous songwriter. Igor Sarukhanov, Valery Leontyev, Larisa Dolina, Edita Piekha and Alena Apina, whom the poet called "his", sang songs to the verses of Tanich. But the "favorite child" was the group "Lesopoval". Mikhail Tanich organized a musical group and subsequently wrote more than 300 songs for him, including “I’ll buy you a house” (“And the white swan on the pond”), “Netochka Nezvanova”, “Don't kill - don't kill”, “Three tattoos "," Stolypinsky carriage ". The songwriter worked with this collective until his death. Lesopoval has released 16 of its albums, the last of which was released after the death of its leader.

But it happened that the performers were dubious about the apparent simplicity of Tanich's texts. So it was with the song “We choose, we are chosen”, which became the hallmark of the film “Big Change”, but initially raised doubts among the film's director Alexei Korenev. The same thing happened with the hit “Save my broken heart”, to which the singer Tõnis Mägi reacted with distrust, and also with the hit “Komarovo”, which made Igor Sklyar a star in one evening.

The criticism of Vladimir Vysotsky's hit "White Light" became unpleasant for Mikhail Tanich. In an interview, the famous bard criticized the lines of the chorus, which was written by two songwriters - Igor Shaferan and Tanich. Later Vysotsky repented of the fervor of his own words.

Tanich's first love was a German woman, Elfriede Lane. The couple met during the war years. But after the end of the Great Patriotic War, Lana remained to live in Germany. Already being a famous songwriter, Mikhail Tanich visited Germany, but managed to meet only with a relative of his first lover, whom he presented with a disc with songs based on his poems.

In Rostov-on-Don, the personal life of Mikhail Tanich took a new turn. The young man met a girl named Irina. But when the student was arrested and Mikhail left for the felling, the young wife broke off relations with her husband.

Dreams of a happy family life came true in Saratov. Once at a party, Mikhail met a beautiful girl who sang soulfully. As it turned out, Lydia Kozlova sang his songs. This was a great occasion, first to get acquainted, and then for a long and happy married life. In this marriage, children appeared - daughters Svetlana and Inga. They gave their father wonderful grandchildren Lev and Benjamin.

On April 17, 2008 Mikhail Tanich felt unwell. For a long time he suffered from a bunch of chronic diseases: four heart surgeries, kidney failure and oncology in the last stage. The poet was hospitalized on April 10th. The relatives hoped for a recovery. Tanich dreamed of finishing the last book of his memoirs "Music played in the garden". In the hospital, Mikhail Isaevich, no longer able to write, dictated the text for several days.

On April 17, Mikhail Isaevich's heart stopped due to complications. The poet was buried at the Vagankovsky cemetery. Now a commemorative bronze sculpture by Ernst Neizvestny is installed on the grave.

After the poet's death, a memorable concert "Do not forget" was released on Channel One, where musicians performed with whom the poet had worked closely for many years. The CSKA team, of which Mikhail Tanich was a devoted fan, honored the songwriter with a minute of silence at the next match of the Russian championship. Alexander Rosenbaum dedicated a new song from his repertoire "Zakolbasilo" to the poet.

10 years later, pop artists again honored the memory of Mikhail Tanich - on January 8, 2018, the TV Center channel hosted a show of the concert “All good things are not forgotten”, in which Igor Nikolaev, Philip Kirkorov, Laima Vaikule, the Lesopoval group, Arkady participated Ukupnik and others.

"Balalaika" "White light" "In an abandoned tavern" "Invented you" "A soldier is walking through the city" "Carousel" "Komarovo" "Horses in apples" "I'll get off at the far station" "Don't forget" "Weather at home" "Provincial "" Seeing off love "" It just so happens "" Knots "
