Oleg Yakovlev died Ivanushki International causes of death, biography: personal life, biography, cause of death, illness of Oleg Yakovlev. Former fan or last love: why Oleg left “Ivanushki” Oleg Yakovlev why he passed away

In the entire history of Ivanushki International, only five people have performed in the team. In 1998, Oleg Yakovlev took the place of Igor Sorin. At the moment, both ex-soloists have passed away..

Igor Sorin

The path to fame for Igor Sorin was thorny. As a child, the boy auditioned for the role of Tom Sawyer, but was rejected by director Nikita Mikhalkov. The defeat turned out to be so painful for the young man that he tried to commit suicide by jumping out of the window - fortunately, due to the low height, the fall ended without consequences. Later, Igor received an education at a radio-mechanical technical school, worked as a stagehand, and entered Gnesinka. Later he dropped out of school and went on tour with the musical “Metro” at the Warsaw Musical and Drama Theatre. The production failed, but Sorin received an offer to continue his studies in New York. Alas, another failure: the guy had neither money nor connections to live in America, so he had to return home.

Things didn’t work out right away with Ivanushki either: the group led by Igor Matvienko changed its name many times, and had to perform at schools, at graduations, in casinos and clubs. The first video for the song “Universe” did not cause admiration, and the unusual trip-hop style seemed unusual to listeners. The producer was thinking about dissolving the team, but gave Igor Sorin, Andrey Grigoriev-Apollonov and Kirill Andreev a second chance by filming a video for the song “Clouds” - it was this video that became the beginning of the popularity of the male trio.

Sorin decided to leave the group a few years later. “Igoreshka realized that he was tired of being “Ivanushka”, tired of this frantic attention and he wanted to perform solo. Red and I tried to persuade him as best we could: “Igor, don’t rush, we have concerts, popularity - everything is fine.” And he said: “I’m tired of singing the same thing every day.” I objected to him: “Well, everyone sings the same thing.” You will also sing, although it’s your own, but it’s the same thing.” He didn’t want to listen to anything,” recalls Kirill Andreev.

In 1998, at the very beginning of his solo career, Igor passed away. The 28-year-old young man worked with musicians from the group “Formation DSM” - the recording of his own record was in full swing. On September 1, Igor fell from the sixth floor studio window. With multiple injuries and fractures, Sorin was taken to the hospital for emergency surgery. The procedure was successful, but the man’s heart could not stand it - on September 4, Igor Sorin died.

The exact cause of death is still controversial. At the hospital, Sorin insisted that he jumped on his own, but could not name the reason. No traces of alcohol or drugs were found in the young man’s blood. The official version is suicide as a result of depression, evidence of which was the found suicide note. But the relatives refuse to believe this, assuring that their loved one was killed: they twisted his neck and carried him out into the street, staging a suicide (according to the mother, there were really no bruises on the body of the deceased).

In 1998, Igor Sorin was replaced in the Ivanushki International group by Oleg Yakovlev.

Oleg Yakovlev

Oleg was attracted by music and the stage from his youth. In Irkutsk, the guy graduated from a music school, sang in a choir, and received a diploma with honors as a puppet theater actor. But I didn’t want to spend my whole life in the shadows, behind a screen. Yakovlev continued his studies in Moscow: he graduated from GITIS and joined the Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Theater. To support himself, the guy had to work a lot: Yakovlev recorded advertisements, worked on the radio and even swept the streets. Working with “Ivanushki International” at first was also just a way to make money: the blonde starred in the “Doll” video as an actor. And he became a full member of the team only in 1998, after the departure of Igor Sorin.

For almost 15 years, Oleg appeared on stage as part of a popular male trio, performing “Poplar Pooh”, “Beznadega.ru”, “A Drop of Light” and other hits, and more than once said that “Ivanushki” was his whole life. And in 2013 he decided to leave the group. There were many versions: some said that Yakovlev was fired for drunkenness, others believed that the soloists had seriously quarreled, and others associated the decision with a midlife crisis. Oleg himself insisted that he simply chose a solo career. “Life has changed dramatically. I became a solo artist. For that, please congratulate me. For the first time in my life I felt so big. I stopped dividing my life into three parts. This is so cool and interesting! My eyes are burning. I have absolutely no regrets. There are a lot of plans,” the artist shared in an interview. Alas, the grandiose plans were not destined to come true. The musician managed to release only a few of his own songs: “Dance with your eyes closed,” “6th floor,” “Mania,” and the recently presented single “Jeans.”

The other day Oleg Yakovlev was hospitalized and was left in serious condition. Doctors diagnosed bilateral pneumonia with complications and connected the patient to a ventilator. It is known that the artist also suffered from cirrhosis of the liver. Doctors fought for his life, but in vain: on June 29 at 7 am, without regaining consciousness, as his girlfriend and producer Alexandra Kutsevol told fans. Relatives assure that Yakovlev was still full of strength and nothing foreshadowed trouble. As it turned out, the man was too inattentive to his health.

“The cause of death was double pneumonia, so he was connected to the machine all this time. During this time he never even regained consciousness. It was an advanced stage, he was treated at home himself. We didn't call an ambulance before, you know, coughing and coughing. Everything happened too quickly, none of us had time to come to our senses,” the artist.

Teleprogramma.pro expresses condolences to the artist’s family and friends.

Now, it’s probably difficult to imagine the excitement around the Ivanushki International group. In the late 90s, they were the real gods of our stage, and, in the absence of Instagram and paparazzi at that time, they were practically inaccessible, which made the forbidden fruit even sweeter. The first shock came to fans when Igor Sorin left the group in 1998 - he was quickly replaced by the new “little Ivanushka” - Oleg Yakovlev. Soon after his departure, Igor Sorin died tragically - he fell from the balcony of the 6th floor. For many years, his fans blamed everyone for the death of their idol and created a real cult of his personality.

Meanwhile, Oleg Yakovlev was slowly settling into the group. His position was not easy - he had just joined the group when his predecessor died under strange circumstances. And, of course, the public was not kind to the “replacement.” Many then agreed - he was cute, not at all similar to Sorin in appearance (except perhaps in height) - white, deliberately carelessly highlighted hair, wide Buryat cheekbones inherited from his mother. But Oleg kept his head down and simply did his job.

A talented guy, he came to Moscow from Irkutsk. He studied at GITIS with Lyudmila Kasatkina. Then Armen Dzhigarkhanyan took him to his theater. Armen Borisovich later admitted that he would take Oleg back with great pleasure: the guy is talented. And Yakovlev considered the artistic director his second father. There were difficult times in his life - in order to survive in the capital, he worked as a janitor. And so, it seemed, fate gave him such a lucky ticket - participation in one of the most popular domestic groups.

Sorin's shadow always hovered somewhere nearby - at first Oleg was even forced to copy him. For a long time, fans did not want to perceive him as a full-fledged member of the group, although he was a member of the group for more than 15 years and in fact saved it after Igor’s death. In addition, he was still a professional actor, not a singer, which is why the other two lead singers of the group, Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov and Kirill Andreev, had a difficult time with him.

But in 2012, Oleg stopped being “Ivanushka”. He left the group and in the interview he did not hide his joy - finally he is alone, he does not divide life (and, apparently, fame) into three parts. And Sorin's shadow no longer hovers over him.

Oleg’s eyes sparkled then - a great author-poet was found, plus Igor Matvienko, the creator of “Ivanushki”, approved of his solo work. Yakovlev shot a video for the song “Dance with Your Eyes Closed” and recorded several more songs. But my career stalled. At that time, Sasha Kutsevol appeared next to the guy, who tried her best to promote the former “Ivanushka”. At first she was his press agent, and then she became his common-law wife. And she helped her artist a lot. But, unfortunately, a period began on our stage when young talents began to multiply like mushrooms, the competition was off the charts, and there was not enough money due to the crisis. Plus, Oleg behaved decently and quietly, so he did not give the press much reason to publish. But he never had any serious hits. They said that Oleg began to abuse alcohol - these rumors could well be true, given all the difficulties that arose along his way. He left the group when he was 43 years old - at this age, of course, it is good to have some kind of stability in life, which he did not have.

Even when he left the group, Kirill Andreev in one of his interviews explained Yakovlev’s decision by alcohol abuse. Apparently, thanks to his modest character, we never saw Oleg in a state of intoxication - he was not one of those who act weird at a party, having too much. But he himself admitted that he likes to drink wine, and tequila with friends. Now they write that he had cirrhosis of the liver. The official cause of death was pulmonary edema due to heart failure. Our expert says that Yakovlev had a serious chronic illness. What diseases do people from the pop scene usually have?...

It’s hard, of course, not to think about the terrible, mystical coincidence - two people leave “Ivanushki”, and then leave life. But it’s unlikely that anyone will delve for a long time into the history of the rise and death of Oleg Yakovlev, as they once did with Sorin - times are completely different now.

The main thing you lose with age is the opportunity to die young,” Oleg Yakovlev said in a radio interview about a year ago.

But 47 years is still very early. We will miss him.

OPINION

Stanislav Sadalsky: “Ivanushki” needs to be sung as a duet - third place in the group is damned

Prepared by Yulia KHOZHATELEVA

The famous actor believes that the tragic death of Oleg Yakovlev is not accidental.

This is some kind of fatal place in “Ivanushki,” says the famous actor Stanislav Sadalsky. - The very death of Oleg Yakovlev at only 47 years old leads to these thoughts. Remember, first Igor Sorin died, Yakovlev was taken in his place - now he is gone too. And it doesn’t matter what he died from, what the diagnosis was, what matters is that the person’s life is over. The death of one singer from “Ivanushki International” may be a tragic accident, the death of two singers is already a pattern. If I were Kirill Turichenko (he was taken into the group after Oleg Yakovlev left it - ed.), I would think hard. But in general, “Ivanushki International” needs to become a duet - just in case, in order to stop this pattern.

The lead singer of “Ivanushki International” said that he still can’t get over the shock

The death of the popular singer Oleg Yakovlev, who became famous throughout the country for his performances with the group “Ivanushki International”, continues to remain in the center of attention of fans. People, trying to understand all the circumstances of the musician’s death, come across a number of inconsistencies.

The day before, the performer’s common-law wife informed the public that the cause of Yakovlev’s death was bilateral pneumonia. Thus, she refuted numerous rumors that Oleg actually died from cirrhosis of the liver, or from other, much more terrible diseases that appeared on the Internet.

Oleg Yakovlev died: what happened, news

Fans of Oleg Yakovlev still cannot come to terms with the official cause of his death. People don’t understand how the artist died so quickly if just a few days ago he was performing on stage and making grandiose plans.

However, at this point in time it can be stated that Yakovlev had health problems for a long time. According to the artist’s lover, the other day his health deteriorated sharply, after which he was urgently hospitalized. Oleg was placed in intensive care with bilateral pneumonia, and doctors connected him to an artificial respiration apparatus.

Early in the morning of June 29, the singer died in intensive care without regaining consciousness, his common-law wife Alexandra Kutsevol reported. According to Kutsevol, Yakovlev might have been saved if he had been hospitalized earlier. The artist simply did not take the disease seriously and preferred to be treated at home.

Funeral of Oleg Yakovlev: the singer was cremated on July 1

Oleg Yakovlev's common-law wife said that the singer would be cremated. The farewell ceremony for him took place on July 1 at the Troekrovskoye cemetery, where his ashes were buried.

Yakovlev was born on November 18, 1969 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, where his parents were on a business trip. Since childhood, he studied music and studied at a music school.

Let us remind you that Oleg Yakovlev joined the group “Ivanushki International” in 1997, replacing the deceased Igor Sorin. Together with Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov and Kirill Andreev, Oleg Yakovlev recorded the song “Polar Fluff,” which instantly soared to the top of the charts. In 2013, the artist decided to leave the group and concentrate on his solo career.

The wife spoke about Oleg Yakovlev's AIDS

Oleg Yakovlev’s last love, Alexandra Kutsevol, commented on the sensational news that the singer allegedly had AIDS. The artist's wife is going to sue journalists.

The former lead singer of “Ivanushki” died early in the morning on June 29. On the same day on the publication's website "Express newspaper" information appeared that Oleg allegedly had AIDS. This was reported to journalists by a source whom the authors of the article called competent. According to the informant, who wished to keep his name secret, Yakovlev’s heart problems were a consequence of immunodeficiency.

The performer’s beloved Alexandra Kutsevol not only did not confirm this information, but also threatened the reporters with legal action. The beloved of the deceased artist is shocked by this slander.

“I will sue such publications. I will now wake up from everything and deal with this issue. This is beyond the bounds. They even wrote that I committed suicide. Terrible rumors,” the site quotes the indignant Alexandra "StarHit".

Now grief-stricken Kutsevol, who devoted about five years of her life to the ex-soloist of “Ivanushki”, is dealing with issues of his cremation. The girl assured that Oleg wanted this. The farewell ceremony for Yakovlev will take place on July 1 at 12:00 in the Troekurovsky Necropolis house.

Previously, Alexandra told the pen sharks that Oleg died due to an advanced stage of pneumonia. “The cause of death was double pneumonia, so he was connected to the machine all this time. During this time, he never even regained consciousness,” the singer’s beloved shared her grief.

By the way, there is another version of the star’s death. As the Life.ru website reported, Yakovlev had liver problems. According to the publication, the ex-soloist of “Ivanushek” passed away as a result of pulmonary edema, and complications arose due to cirrhosis.

Red from Ivanushki showed Oleg Yakovlev’s apartment

A member of the group “Ivanushki International” visited the apartment of his deceased friend and colleague and filmed a video there.

The lead singer of the famous Russian pop group and Oleg Yakovlev’s former partner in Ivanushki, Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov, visited the apartment of his deceased friend. He published the video on his I nstagram.

“I spent the whole evening at Olezhka’s house today. It seems that Oleg will now return from filming, and we are waiting for him. May the world rest in poplar fluff,” reads the caption to the video.

“That’s all that’s left of him, except for the music and his voice,” Andrey says in a voiceover.

Let us add that the recording was made on the day of the singer’s death. The recording shows the empty atmosphere of the apartment. On the wall of the tidy room there is a life-size icon, paintings, and a metal bas-relief with Marx, Engels and Lenin. The window of Yakovlev’s apartment overlooks the noisy embankment of the Moscow River.

“Oleg Yakovlev died. My Yasha... Our ‘little’ Olezhka... Fly, Snowflake, your voice and songs are in our hearts forever...”, Grigoriev-Apollonov signed the photo.

Oleg Yakovlev and his sudden death became the topic of the “Let Them Talk” program

A new episode of the Channel One talk show “Let Them Talk” was dedicated to the late former lead singer of “Ivanushki” Oleg Yakovlev. According to program participants, in 2010 the singer had a hard time with the death of his older sister Svetlana, who passed away from cancer. The artist’s friends noted that the misfortune crippled the artist, who was very worried about the loss, but never showed it and kept everything to himself..

The wife of Ivanushki International soloist Kirill Andreev, Lola, said that Oleg Yakovlev did not share his problems and experiences with others, and certainly did not talk about his health problems, so his sudden death was a real shock for his colleagues.

“You can’t help a person who keeps everything to himself. He didn’t say that he felt bad, so no one helped him,” a psychologist invited to the studio as an expert reasonably noted. “I am firmly convinced that we create the evil fate in our destiny with our own hands,” said Kirill Andreev’s wife.

Today, June 29, at 07:05 Moscow time, the ex-soloist of the group “Ivanushki International” Oleg Yakovlev died in the capital’s clinic. As Life.ru reports with reference to the Mash Telegram channel, the artist’s last days were spent in intensive care. They say he had cirrhosis of the liver. Pneumonia also caused complications.

The condition of the former “Ivanushka” worsened sharply on Wednesday night. By this time, Yakovlev was already in the hospital with a diagnosis of double pneumonia. On the morning of June 28, it became known that he was transferred to intensive care and connected to a ventilator.

Oleg Yakovlev joined the trio "Ivanushki International" in 1998 after the death of Igor Sorin. He left the team in 2013 and, according to him, never regretted his decision. “For the first time in my life, I felt like such a big deal. I stopped dividing life into three parts. This is so cool and interesting! My eyes are burning,” the singer admitted.

On social networks, fans were seriously worried about the former lead singer of “Ivanushki International”. One fan drew a parallel between Yakovlev and Sorin, who died as a result of a fall from the sixth floor: “An enchanted group - this one goes into free swimming, that one can’t cope...”

On June 29 at 7:05, the former lead singer of the popular group “Ivanushki International” Oleg Yakovlev passed away. He died in the hospital, where he was hospitalized in serious condition with bilateral pneumonia, and the day before his death it became known that the artist was connected to a ventilator.

“Today at 7:05 the main Man of my life, my Angel, my Happiness, passed away... How can I live without you now?.. Fly, Oleg! I’m always with you,” - she wrote.

Oleg Yakovlev was only 47 years old.

Life path

Oleg Yakovlev was born on November 18, 1969 in Choibalsan, Mongolia, where his parents went on a business trip. After the artist graduated from the first class, the family returned to Russia. Together with his parents and older sisters, Yakovlev lived in Angarsk and then in Irkutsk. There he began studying piano at a music school. After school, he entered the Irkutsk Theater School, from which he graduated with honors as a puppet theater actor.

Then Yakovlev moved to Moscow and graduated from GITIS, becoming an actor at the Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Theater, whom he called his second father.

For some time the artist had to work as a janitor.

Success came to him after joining the popular group “Ivanushki International” in 1998. As part of the team, he replaced the deceased Igor Sorin.

Officially, Yakovlev was never married, but for a long time he dated journalist Alexandra Kutsevol, who worked as the manager of Ivanushki, and then of Yakovlev himself.

The artist was a candidate for master of sports and was fond of billiards.

Creation

Oleg Yakovlev became a full member of the group after filming a video clip for the song “Doll”. The first song for Yakovlev as a full member of “Ivanushki” was “Popoliny Pooh”, which is actually the calling card of the group.

During his collaboration with producer Igor Matvienko, the compositions of “Ivanushek” more than once took first place in the most prestigious charts in the country. The group also has many duets with popular Russian performers.

In 2012, Oleg Yakovlev began a solo career, and after the success of the song “Dance with Your Eyes Closed,” the artist decided to temporarily step away from working in the team in order to prepare a solo program. In 2013, he officially finished performing in Ivanushki. He was replaced by Kirill Turichenko.

"Fly, Oleg!"

Yakovlev's colleagues were shocked by the sad news of his death. They all expressed condolences to the artist’s family and friends, and also told what the singer was like.

According to “Ivanushka” Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov, Yakovlev’s voice will remain with him forever.

“Oleg Yakovlev died. My Yasha... Our “little” Olezhka... Fly, Snegiryok, your voice and songs are in our hearts forever...” – wrote Grigoriev-Apollonov on his Instagram.

Another colleague of Yakovlev’s in the group said that the deceased singer was practically a member of his family.

“He was a good person, a friend left, a family member. We spent 15 years on tour together - trains, planes, hotels, everything happened. We talked, called each other after he left the team. I was happy with his new songs and videos,”– said the musician.

Andreev recalls that a month and a half ago, his friend was on a creative upswing, preparing for the release of a video.

According to TV presenter Yana Churikova and musician Alexei Potekhin, Yakovlev had big creative and life plans. No one could have expected such an outcome, they say.

“I always thought it was cool that Oleg would have such new songs that he would conquer the world on his own. I’m shocked by what happened,”– Potekhin told TASS.

According to producer Bari Alibasov, Oleg was a bright and bright person.

“On stage he was the most artistic of all the guys, the audience admired him. It’s sad that he died so early, it’s incredible... He could have lived as long as he did. He was a very gifted artist,” - Alibasov noted.

According to singer Mitya Fomin, Oleg Yakovlev has always been kind and positive.

Most recently, the singer presented his new song “Jeans,” and, according to colleagues, the artist’s video was to be released very soon.
