Yuri Klinskikh

Soviet punk Yuri Khoi, attractive with carelessness and swagger, remained a simple Voronezh guy, despite his popularity. The mystery of death, the throwing of the soul between two beloved women, the mystical subtext of the songs - all these are facets of the life of a talented singer and songwriter about Russian life.

The life of Yuri Klinsky begins in Voronezh in the family of workers of a local aircraft plant on July 27, 1964. The boy's father, Nikolai Mitrofanovich, worked as an engineer in production, and his mother, Maria Kuzminichna, was a riveter.

An ordinary Soviet provincial boy was no different from his peers. At school, the diary was mostly triplets, the behavior left much to be desired.

After receiving a certificate of maturity, Yura learned to drive a ZIL-130 in DOSAAF and worked part-time at the plant. Then the young man was taken into the army, in the ranks of which the Klinsky served in the Far East in the tank forces until 1984.

After demobilization, the future musician enters the service in the traffic police, where he has been working under a contract for three years. According to the recollections of relatives, the service did not bring joy. Every day, Yuri was required to fulfill the planned targets for the number of fines, and he, in turn, could not punish drivers for far-fetched reasons.

The singer's father said that on the last day of the contract, returning home, Yuri tore the hated form and trampled on it. Subsequent work experience ranged from a loader to a milling machine operator and machine operator in a VCR factory. At the same time, Klinskikh begins to study music.

To tell the truth, the musician was fond of writing poetry even at school age. His passion for poetry was instilled in Yura by his father, who tried himself in poetry and even published his own poems. Rock and roll sounded in the Klinsky house, so the boy got to know this style early.

Even before the army, the young man learned to play the guitar and tried to write songs. According to the singer, the texts turned out to be primitive and uninteresting. After serving in the army, Yuri continued his amateur music lessons, but perceived them as a hobby and a way to escape from everyday life.

In 1987, a rock club was opened in the city, and an aspiring musician became a regular. At first, the singer performed solo or invited someone from his acquaintances to help. Six months later, he organizes the "Gaza Strip" group. The name was chosen by the musician in honor of one of the industrial regions of Voronezh, which is characterized by high crime rates.

The first line-up of the group was formed only in 1988 and underwent changes. Only the leader and soloist of the collective, Yuri Klinskikh, who is increasingly called Yura Hoy, remained constant.

By the way, the pseudonym has nothing to do with the consonant surname of the legend of Russian rock Viktor Tsoi. The singer received the nickname Hoi due to a similar cry used by the musician at performances.

In 1989 the band recorded their first two albums - "Plugi-Woogie" and "Collective Farm Punk". The recordings were made on tape and are so terrible in quality that they did not go further than the Voronezh fans.

A breakthrough in career and popularity was the albums "Evil Dead" and "Yadrena Louse", recorded by the musicians in 1990. The style of lyrics and music of songs was influenced by punk and rock, spiced with a portion of obscene language. The compositions "Without Wine" and "Vampires" were originally recorded by Yuri Khoy as an acoustic version long before the release of the band's albums.

Some of the texts are directly related to the events of the singer's life, reflect a view of the surrounding reality. Such songs include "Java" (Yura Hoy loved to ride a motorcycle fast and he himself once had an accident on "Java") and "30 years", written for the anniversary of the group leader.

Over time, with the growing popularity, the lyrics become more restrained. The musician also recorded lyrical compositions such as "Your Call", "Lyrics". The composition "Entry" from the album "Collective Farm Punk" (1991) is a cover-version of the famous Queen's song "We will rock you".

Perestroika, the dashing 90s, the thirst for freedom and the spirit of slovenliness paved the way for the popularity of the "Gas Sector" with swanky lyrics and music. Concerts are held in the country and neighboring countries.

The leader of the group did not like general attention and preferred not to shine in public. Therefore, fans did not know exactly what the author of their favorite songs looks like. This was the reason for the tours of bands posing as a sensational punk band.

By the way, Yuri Khoy himself did not consider himself to be punk culture. Over time, the musician changed the image of a guy in a leather jacket for a more classic image. He began to appear on stage in a pullover or shirt, trousers and shoes.

Music and popularity did not add capital to the performer. During his creative activity, piracy flourished, so the percentage of official album sales came out scanty. Yuri did not complain about low salaries, was content with royalties from concerts and available royalties from the sale of discs.

Even before the army, young Yura met Galina. The girl came to harvest the beets with a group of school classmates. The young man noticed the young beauty and began to court. True, as Galina recalls, not quite skillfully. Nevertheless, the student liked him, the young people began to meet, the girl waited for her beloved from the army, and the couple played a wedding.

In 1984, the first daughter, Irina, appeared, and in 1995, the youngest Lilia. The musician adored children, the girls reciprocated with their father.

In 1991, at one of the concerts in Moscow, the singer met Olga Samarina. The acquaintance became fatal for the leader of the group. The musician fell in love with a blonde who was 11 years younger. In archive photos, the couple spends time together at meetings with friends and in the clubs of the capital. Until the end of his life, Klinsky maintained a love relationship with Olga, but could not leave the family.

Two years before Yuri's death, his wife learned about the existence of a mistress, although she had suspected this before, offered her husband to leave, but he, according to the woman, could not choose who owns his heart. I begged Galina not to file for divorce and to wait. As a result, the punk rocker of the Russian scene lived in two families, torn between his beloved women.

On July 4, 2000, nothing boded ill. The musician was going to shoot a video in Voronezh for the song "Night of Fear". Olga was with her beloved, they were going to the studio together. According to the woman's recollections, Yuri felt bad in the morning.

Despite the deteriorating health, the singer refused medical help, believing that everything would go away after drinking aspirin. The couple went to the shooting, but on the way the Klinsky got worse, he decided to stop by a friend.

Olga recalls that there, in a private house, Yuri was getting worse every minute, as a result, he lost consciousness. The ambulance refused to accept the challenge, and when they arrived, the doctors were forced to state the death of the musician.

The official cause of death was a heart attack, although the singer had no heart problems. The death of the musician has caused a lot of speculation and rumors.

Close friends and Yuri's wife tend to blame the group leader Olga for the death. Thanks to her, the musician became addicted to drugs. Olga did not hide the fact that together with her beloved, they began to take heroin. True, Yuri was treated for addiction, he also treated the chosen one. Against the background of drugs and alcohol, the musician was diagnosed with hepatitis C.

The doctors prescribed a strict diet, which Yuri neglected. Klinskikh loved chocolate, which doctors tried to ban. The singer did not deny himself and alcohol, according to the recollections of friends. One way or another, the true cause of death remains a mystery, no official autopsy has been carried out.

After the death of the musician, the last album of the Hellraiser was released. By the way, fans and colleagues of the singer say that the musician predicted his own demise in the lyrics. After the death of her husband, Yuri's wife did not tie fate with another man. Olga was able to overcome addiction and got married, having given birth to a spouse of a son.

Many years after the death of the "Gas Sector" leader, in 2015, the musician's eldest daughter stumbled upon her father's unreleased song "Howl at the Moon", which was planned to be recorded in the "Gas Attack" album. The author considered the composition unsuccessful and refused to include it in the list. The composition was published on the collection of the same name, published 15 years after the death of the author.
