Vasily Goncharov

Vasily Goncharov, known under the pseudonym Vasya Oblomov, is a Russian musician, poet and composer, founder and leader of the Cheboza group.

He became famous in mid-2010, when he wrote the satirical song "I'm going to Magadan", which became the singer's trademark.

Vasily was born and raised in Rostov-on-Don in an intelligent family. Father is a candidate of technical sciences, who later founded his own, quite profitable enterprise. Mom is a philologist. Through her efforts, the son acquired the experience of the first poetic experiments.

The parents tried to give Vasya a good upbringing and education, so they assigned the boy to a secondary school with in-depth study of the English language, as well as to a music school in the piano class. By the age of 15, the young man was able to play not only the keys, but also the guitar, percussion and some wind instruments.

In the 9th grade, Goncharov founded the first musical group called "Cheboza". Together with his classmates, the young man plays sentimental songs in the style of British pop music and enjoys success at school discos.

After receiving a certificate of maturity, Vasily Goncharov, who has long dreamed of becoming a famous singer, enters the history department of Rostov State University. A totally unexpected choice. The young man and his parents understand that this profession will not become Vasily's life path. It is even more surprising that Vasya receives a second education in a completely different industry: almost in parallel with world history, Goncharov is studying law.

And only having received two diplomas of higher education, the young man leaves for St. Petersburg and begins to do what he wanted to do - music.

In St. Petersburg, a young man meets a fellow countryman who helps to break into the dense ranks of show business workers. Vasily Goncharov is producing the new album "Model for Assembly" by legendary rock musician Vyacheslav Butusov, and a year later - the song "Everything is Empty", which Viktor Reznik wrote specifically for Mikhail Boyarsky. The musician also took part in the filming of the video "Such a Feeling" by the group "Casta".

In those same years, Vasily took the pseudonym Vasya Oblomov, which brought the artist enormous popularity. The appearance of a new name is quite natural: the popular character of the Russian writer Ivan Goncharov, the musician's namesake, is called Oblomov. The first performing experience had some success. The parody song "Cornflowers" was, in fact, a rehash of the famous hit "Stan" by American rapper Eminem.

But in May 2010, the success was already overwhelming. A new period began in the creative biography of the author-performer. The composition "I'm going to Magadan" appeared on the Internet as a drawn video clip and became a parody of modern Russian chanson. The song gained all-Russian popularity, so a story about it and the author was shown on television. In addition, "Magadan" wins in the music program "Video Battle", becomes the soundtrack to Timur Bekmambetov's comedy "Yolki".

The song of Vasya Oblomov and the Cheboza group sounded at the New Year's performance "20 best songs of the year", which was broadcast on Channel One on January 1, 2011. This year Oblomov will present a full-length album "Stories and Stories", which also includes the tracks "Chief" about the leader who saved on employee salaries, and "Letter of Happiness" about a video message of ordinary people to the head of state. After the premiere of the disc, fans no longer have to wait for new creations for a long time: since then Vasya pleases fans with another disc every year.

At the same time, a solo concert of the musician took place, at which hits of the album "Tales and Stories" were performed. In the middle of the year, the video for the song "UG" blew up the Network: in the first hours of the video's appearance on the YouTube hosting, the number of views was 100 thousand. Actor Mikhail Efremov was invited to shoot the video. The popular artist soon became a co-author of the Citizen Poet project, the music for which was also written by Vasily Oblomov. Later, the singer will perform in the final issue of the musical and poetic project with the number "Gogol rap about Tymoshenko."

To record the composition "Letter of Happiness", the singer again invited his colleagues in the shop - rapper Noggano (Basta), actor Maxim Vitorgan. The video also includes the writer Sergei Minaev. A year later, a video for the hit "Bye, Medved!" Appeared, in which television stars Ksenia Sobchak and Leonid Parfenov appeared.

Soon, new compositions performed by Vasya Oblomov appeared - “Who wants to become a policeman?”, “Where does the Motherland begin” and “From the heart”. Vasya sings the last song, like Pravda, which came out a little later, together with Sergei Shnurov, frontman of the Leningrad group. Like Magadan, these hits again ridicule the tastes of Russian citizens.

In 2012, Vasya began working with the director of the Gogol Center Kirill Serebrennikov, having arranged an evening at the Winzavod creative center called Vasya and Thugs. Songs of the Revolution ”, in which the artists of the Serebrennikov troupe and the musicians of the Cheboza group performed covers of revolutionary songs.

In November, the musician's solo disc "Stability" was released, which included the songs "VVP", "Pravda", "We have a filthy people". The album held the second place in the iTunes music ratings for the first week, and then dropped to fifth place.

In 2013, the singer delighted his fans with another solo album - the disc "Lomki", which included musical compositions of the "Good Lord" project, in which Vasily Oblomov participated. Initially, the songs were played on the air of the Dozhd radio station. In the same year, another concert of the author-performer “For the benefit of all Russians” took place on the stage of the Gogol Center.

It is worth noting the importance of Vasya Oblomov's work for modern cinema. In addition to the picture "Yolki", several other film directors took the musician's works into their own projects. In the film adaptations of the novels of Sergei Minaev, with whom Vasily is on friendly terms, the compositions "Rhythms of Windows" and "Memento Mori" sound.

In the film "Duhless" the song "Rhythms of Windows" becomes the title track. Oblomov also wrote the main song for the new film by Alexander Voitinsky "The Ghost", and was performed by Fyodor Bondarchuk and Semyon Treskunov, who played the main characters.

In 2014, the musician released his fourth album - "Multi-move!", Which consisted of thirteen compositions on the verses of Sergei Yesenin and Joseph Brodsky. The album took the third position in the rating of the best songs of the year from the Kommersant publication. The songs “Good man”, “Kindness”, “Joy is given to the rude” were especially popular. Vasya Oblomov recorded the track "Fucking Shame" together with Garik Sukachev.

Despite the somewhat informal genre of his own work, Vasya Oblomov repeatedly became the owner of honorary awards. For example, Maxim magazine presented the singer with the Golden Joker award as the best musician, and in 2013 Vasya became the winner of the Made in Russia award, overtaking Zemfira in this nomination.

In 2016, Vasily Oblomov presented fans with the first live album - "More Alive than All Living". In the same year, work was completed on Pavel Bardin's series "Salam, Maskva", in which Vasily took part. The singer played a cameo role as a police officer and created the musical material for the film, which premiered on Channel One. The film was awarded the main Russian cinematographic prize "Nika" in the nomination "For creative achievements in the art of television cinematography."

At the end of the year, on the artist's Twitter page, messages appeared that Vasily was working on the fifth album of his solo discography. The working title of the disc is "In Sin". In 2017, the premiere of this disc took place, but with a changed name - "Long and Unhappy Life". The album includes the songs "Farewell", recorded together with Pavel Chekhov, "Carry garbage", which sounded lines of political satire. The video for the second song featured the popular Internet browser Yuri Dud. Oblomov released a video for the musical composition "Live", which previously became the soundtrack for the film "Ghost".

After the release of the disc, Vasily Oblomov went on a tour of the country. In October, the singer became the headliner of the next release of the Music on Svoboda program hosted by Artemy Troitsky.

Despite the fact that Vasily creates musical compositions in the rap style, he keeps himself apart from other representatives of this subculture. He does not welcome the idea of ​​conducting rap battles, where profanity is present in large numbers. The artist reacted negatively to the fact that in August 2017 one of the most discussed events was the rap battle between Oksimiron and Slava KPSS.

Vasily Oblomov explains his popularity by the fact that he speaks first of all not against Russia, specific politicians and public figures, but against stupidity, inertia and indifference.

Due to the social orientation of Vasily Oblomov's work, his musician is often associated with the opposition movement. He is credited with friendship with Alexei Navalny and Ksenia Sobchak, but Vasily does not confirm this information. He is connected with a famous TV presenter by a nodding acquaintance, and the artist supported the public figure during the elections for mayors of Moscow, expressing sympathy for his election program.

In an interview, Vasily Oblomov spoke with regret about the electoral system existing in Russia, about the fact that the same persons have been entering the election race for years, about the absence of political competition in the country. Commenting on the candidacy of Ksenia Sobchak, Vasily Oblomov was surprised at the TV presenter's initiative.

Vasily experienced his first great feeling in high school. The beloved's name was Katya Berezina, the girl studied in a parallel class. The guys met for several years, but when the girl left to study as an actress in another city, the relationship ended.

Soon the young man's personal life improved again. At the university, Goncharov began to meet with Olesya Serbina. The girl studied with him in the same group and was a classmate of the previous girl, so Vasya and Olesya had known each other for a very long time. Serbina's father is a famous painter whose paintings are exhibited in Russia and Europe.

In the last years of the university, Vasily Goncharov and Olesya Serbina got married, but for some reason they try to hide this fact and even take personal photos separately on vacation.

Vasily Oblomov continues to release socially significant videos on his own YouTube channel. In the spring of 2018, a video for the song "Life is getting better" appeared there. The musical composition is dedicated to future generations, while the video contains references to the work of the writer George Orwell.

Soon followed by the release of a new song "City-zad", in the video for which frames of the Soviet chronicle and black-and-white films of the Stalin era were used. On the eve of the World Cup, the singer released a video for the track "Sportivnaya". The main idea of ​​the song is controversy in the comments after each match in which the Russian national team participates.

Now Vasya Oblomov is preparing for a big solo concert, which will take place in Moscow in mid-September 2018. The program of the performance is called “Life is getting better”. The artist announced the event on his personal page on Instagram.
