Oleg Yakovlev

Oleg Yakovlev became famous after appearing in the cult pop group Ivanushki International, becoming its third soloist. Together with the collective, he recorded five albums, but then took up the "construction" of a solo career.

Oleg Zhamsaraevich Yakovlev was born in the Mongolian capital in November 1969. Oleg's parents were sent here, to Ulan Bator. They came to Mongolia with two daughters, and returned to the Soviet Union with three children. Yakovlev's father is Uzbek by nationality, and a Muslim by religion. Mom is from Buryatia, Buddhist. Later, when the guy grew up, he did not join either his father or his mother in the matter of faith, choosing Orthodoxy.

The first 7 years of Oleg Yakovlev's life have passed in Ulan Bator. He went to school in Angarsk, but received a certificate of incomplete secondary education in Irkutsk. The son did not upset his parents and was a firm "good fellow", but from the first grades he demonstrated a penchant for humanitarian subjects.

Yakovlev's musical abilities were discovered at an early age. Oleg sang in the school choir and the House of Pioneers, studied at a music school, choosing a piano class. But the guy never received a musical education. Like his peers, Oleg was fond of sports. He attended the track and field section and received the category of candidate for master of sports. And Yakovlev is also a virtuoso billiard player.

In high school, Oleg Yakovlev discovered a new hobby - theater. Therefore, after the 8th grade, the guy entered the theater school of Irkutsk, which he graduated with honors, having received the specialty "puppet theater artist". But Yakovlev was not satisfied that the audience saw the dolls, and not himself. Deciding to become a "classic" theater and film actor, he went to the capital.

In Moscow, Oleg Yakovlev became a student of the legendary GITIS on the first try. Studied with a talented teacher and People's Artist of the USSR Lyudmila Kasatkina. To survive in dear Moscow, Oleg worked as a janitor. Later he got a job on the radio, where he was entrusted with recording advertising.

After graduating from GITIS, Yakovlev got a job at the theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. Oleg Yakovlev called the famous artist and theater director "the second father", praising the experience he received in the theater of Armen Borisovich.

Yakovlev appeared on the stage of the theater in the performances "Cossacks", "Twelfth Night", "Lev Gurych Sinichkin". At the same time, the young actor continued to earn extra money as a janitor, because the theatrical artist's earnings remained extremely modest. In 1990, the creative biography of Oleg Yakovlev was enriched with a new page: the actor starred in a cameo role in the military drama “One Hundred Days Before the Order”.

It is no coincidence that Oleg Yakovlev entered the world of Russian show business. Music and singing attracted him from childhood. After the creative association "Modern Opera" appeared in Moscow in the early 1990s (since 1999 - the Theater of Alexei Rybnikov), Yakovlev got a job there. The theater is famous for musicals and rock operas, so the artist could combine acting with vocals.

At the theater, Oleg Yakovlev recorded the composition "White Rosehip" from the rock opera "Juno and Avos". Yakovlev sent the cassette with this song to the production center of Igor Matvienko, after seeing the announcement of the search for a soloist in the popular group "Ivanushki International". Recall that in 1998, a misfortune happened in the team: the soloist Igor Sorin died after falling from a height. In March of the same year, Oleg Yakovlev became the new soloist of the group.

Fans of Ivanushki, accustomed to Sorin, did not immediately accept the new soloist. Recognition came to the singer after the premiere of the hits "Poplar Fluff" and "Bullfinches". A year after joining the team, Oleg Yakovlev, together with Kirill Andreev and Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov, recorded a studio album "About this I will shout all night." In the early 2000s, the collections "Wait for Me", "Ivanushki in Moscow", "Oleg Andrey Kirill" and "10 Years in the Universe" appeared.

In one of his interviews, Oleg Yakovlev shared that in 2003 Ivanushki International was on the verge of collapse. Producer Igor Matvienko, who felt that the team was about to break up, invited the musicians to disperse. But after serious deliberation, the trio decided that Ivanushki should stay. Then the producer doubled their salary.

But in 2012, Oleg Yakovlev still went into "free swimming", deciding to build a solo career. The following year, the vocalist officially announced his retirement, and he was replaced by Kirill Turichenko.

In 2013, the soloist presented a video for the new song "Dance with your eyes closed." Soon there appeared solo compositions "6th floor", "New Year", "Blue sea", "Call me after three champagne". Yakovlev recorded a video clip for the last song. In 2016, the singer presented his fans with a new song "Mania", and in 2017 he presented the song "Jeans".

The fans "besieged" the soloists of "Ivanushki" from the moment when the group became famous for its first hits and began to gather stadiums of fans. Oleg Yakovlev was no exception. The exotic appearance and height of 1.70 meters attracted girls. But the singer's heart has long been taken. Oleg Yakovlev has been in a civil marriage with journalist Alexandra Kutsevol for several years. The couple have no children, but the artist has a niece Tanya and two grand-nephews - Mark and Garik.

Yakovlev met Alexandra Kutsevol in the northern capital, where the girl studied at the Faculty of Journalism. Oleg has repeatedly admitted that he feels truly happy with Sasha. She left journalistic work and became the producer of Yakovlev.

According to unconfirmed information, Yakovlev left the group "Ivanushki International" at the insistence of his common-law spouse. Alexandra supported Oleg's ambitious plans, and he, having quarreled with Andreev and Grigoriev-Apollonov, left the team.

On June 28, 2017, alarming information appeared in the media that Oleg Yakovlev was ill and was in the hospital. According to some information, the 47-year-old artist was in critical condition.

Yakovlev was placed in the intensive care unit of a Moscow clinic and connected to a ventilator. According to unconfirmed reports, the vocalist had bilateral pneumonia.

On June 29, 2017, Oleg Yakovlev died. The singer passed away in one of the capital's clinics. The cause of Yakovlev's death was cardiac arrest due to pneumonia. The artist was only 47 years old.
