In March 1998, fans of the group " Ivanushki International“We learned that Igor Sorin left the team. Oleg Yakovlev, then unknown to anyone, took his place. The biography of the young soloist at that time included only acting achievements. Young fans were hostile to the appearance of a new performer, and after tragic death his predecessor was subjected to real persecution of the singer.
Life before "Ivanushki"
Oleg was born into an international family. The mother was Buryat and adhered to the Buddhist faith. Father is Uzbek and Muslim. The guy chose his own path in religion and professed Orthodoxy. He began singing as a child and was a choir soloist before graduating from school. He entered the Irkutsk Theater School, where he studied the art of puppet theater. After graduation, I decided to move to Moscow.
Theater
In the capital, he entered GITIS and studied for several years acting. He was lucky to get into the workshop of Lyudmila Kasatkina, and after graduating from the institute, the guy got a place in the Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Theater. He considered his director and mentor a close person and until the end of his life he called him his “second father.” In three roles in successful performances.
"Ivanushki"
The unprecedented success of the boy group brought Igor Sorin the love of millions of girls across the country. But it has popularity reverse side- the guy is tired of endless tours and tours. He wanted a solo career and performing songs that he liked. He left the group at the beginning of 1998, making way for a new lead singer.
First difficulties
Oleg had to experience all the hatred of Igor’s fans. He was called a “cheap fake” and was booed when he appeared on stage. It was incredibly difficult to sing in such an environment and look happy. Kirov fans did not allow the guy to sing a single song. During his performance, they shouted and demanded that he get off the stage. This seemed to them not enough, and after the concert they beat the guy, attacking him with the whole crowd. He was insulted on ethnic grounds and ignored the group’s concerts, calling on Matvienko to remove the “incomprehensible” boy from the lineup.
But the most ordeal there was more to come. Six months later, Sorin dies under unclear circumstances, and a wave of hatred literally covers Yakovlev. Fans do not want to admit that Igor himself left the group and went into free swimming. There are rumors that he was kicked out and committed suicide, unable to cope with this fact. This was the most difficult period in the biography of Oleg Yakovlev. Now artists take “haters” for granted and pay little attention to them. But at the end of the last century, such a phenomenon was new, and not everyone was able to survive the aggression of fans.
Time cures
A year passed after Igor's death, and gradually the noise faded away. Either the fans matured, or they were finally able to recognize Oleg’s talent, but the bullying stopped. The group again traveled around the country and in the same Kirov received Yakovlev with loud applause and the Guy was able to open up in the group and performed several new solo songs. A strong young voice was able to win the hearts of young girls, and the soloist was recognized as a full-fledged member of “Ivanushki”. He has his own army of fans. Maybe not as big as Sorin’s, but they were faithful and devoted to their idol.
From this moment on, the new soloist of “Ivanushki” Oleg Yakovlev’s biography begins to be replenished with new facts. Songs are regularly released that become hits. In 2001, Alla Pugacheva invites him to shoot a new video. In the story, he plays Renata Litvinova’s lover and experiences their difficult separation. The Diva herself saw real charisma and acting talent in this thin young man.
The downside of fame
Life behind the stage and the recording studio was also in full swing. The biography of “Ivanushki” and Oleg Yakovlev begins hard times. Together with Andrei and Kirill, he rested after the concerts. Alcohol helped them relieve tension. IN large quantities. Friends slowly but surely ruined their health. And if the first two were stopped by their wives, then no one stopped the free Oleg from drinking at any time. Yes, many artists suffer from alcoholism, and sometimes they have to undergo treatment for a long time after such entertainment. Increasingly, Yakovlev begins to indulge in all kinds of bad things, and this leads to disruptions in rehearsals and recording of new songs. He no longer adheres to the schedule, and Matvienko threatens to fire him several times. Calm and intelligent Oleg understands that his behavior harms all members of the team, but he can no longer stop.
At this moment he begins to understand Sorin. It is simply impossible to live in such a rhythm and not be able to relax with the help of alcohol. But if Igor was looking for peace in a sect, then Oleg found it in love. The years of loneliness ended with the appearance of Alexandra in his life. The journalist did not hide the fact that she is a long-time fan of the group “Ivanushki” and specifically their lead singer Oleg Yakovlev. The girl’s biography did not contain anything remarkable at that time.
Family life
During this period, friends and relatives note the emotional and spiritual uplift of the guy. He began to look noticeably better and completely devoted himself to creativity. He returned to his favorite activity - writing poetry. It would seem that life has finally gotten better and now all that remains is to wait for the addition to the family. But the couple was in no hurry to formalize the relationship. They attended all events together, and colleagues rejoiced at the artist’s return to a full life.
Like a bolt from the blue
Common-law spouse she loved Oleg and was able to instill confidence in him. In 2012, he announced his departure from the group. They didn’t stop him because Matvienko had already suffered enough last years from an unstable singer. However, no one believed in his success outside the team. In the biography of Oleg Yakovlev, “Ivanushki” occupied a central place, but he considered that the time had come to leave the boy band. In 2013, he officially ends his work with the producer and leaves the lineup.
Solo career
The first song is called "Dance" eyes closed"was a success with listeners, but did not become a hit. The video for this composition turned out to be very beautiful, and it was often broadcast on music channels. On the wave of his first success, the soloist records several more new songs. But all subsequent compositions do not find a response in the hearts of listeners. “Dance” remained the only solo song in Oleg Yakovlev’s biography that was accepted by the people.
Disease
Having lost his place in the group and left without recognition, the singer returns to old habits. This time, alcohol enslaved the artist so much that in a couple of years he seriously deteriorated his health. Several times he found himself in a hospital bed, and even the woman he loved could not influence the situation. In a couple of years, Oleg grew old a lot, and all his friends noted his depressed state. They stopped inviting him to concerts, and this finally finished off the talented performer.
Death
On June 29, 2017, the first reports appeared on the Internet that Oleg Yakovlev had passed away. The biography of “little white Ivanushka” was written by fate itself. The body could not cope with the abundance of alcohol, and the artist developed double pneumonia. The disease itself could have been successfully cured, but coupled with liver cirrhosis, it led to the singer’s death. During the last filming, it was noticeable that the man had yellow whites of his eyes. Rumors immediately spread that the singer had AIDS and that it was he who caused pneumonia, which became the official cause of Oleg Yakovlev’s death. The performer's biography did not include drugs or promiscuity, and this version was quickly refuted. The funeral was quiet, and relatives and friends came to say goodbye to the artist. Former colleagues in the workshop paid tribute to the memory of the singer and said a lot about him good words. According to the will, Oleg’s body was cremated and 40 days later buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery.
The reason for the unexpected death of the ex-soloist of “Ivanushki” Oleg Yakovlev still haunts many. Journalists contacted astrologer Pavsekakiy, who, relying on the readings of the starry sky, decisively pointed to AIDS.
Yakovlev died on June 29. On the same day, information appeared on the EG.RU website that the singer allegedly had AIDS. This was reported to reporters by a source whom the author of the article called competent. According to the informant, who wished to keep his name secret, Oleg’s heart problems, which led to his death, were a consequence of immunodeficiency.
A little bit later last love performer Alexandra Kutsevol not only did not confirm this information, but also threatened the journalists with legal action. The singer's chosen one was shocked by this information. “I will sue such publications,” Oleg’s partner promised. “I will now wake up from everything and take up this issue. This is beyond the bounds.”
There was another version of the star's death. According to the Life.ru website, Yakovlev suffered from liver problems. According to the publication, the ex-soloist of “Ivanushek” died as a result of pulmonary edema, and complications arose due to cirrhosis.
Katya Lel said in the talk show “Let Them Talk” that she saw Oleg shortly before the tragedy. The artist, according to her, was stunned when she noticed the yellow whites of Yakovlev’s eyes. Such eye changes are often associated with liver disease.
However, many other friends of Yakovlev did not confirm the version of alcoholism. According to friends, Oleg was not noticed to have a strong addiction to alcohol. “Creative people are very vulnerable. Everyone drinks or uses something. I myself am no exception,” admitted singer and TV presenter Milena Deinega. “But Olezhka was not a drunk at all. He didn’t lie under the fence. And he could have developed cirrhosis of the liver completely.” "For another reason. I was recently in the hospital, and there five-year-old children were dying of cirrhosis."
Then the journalists turned for help to the famous astrologer Viktor Bogdanov, better known under the pseudonym Pavsekakiy. They say that the stars, like cards, don’t lie.
“The cause of Yakovlev’s death was indeed not cirrhosis. According to Oleg’s horoscope, it is clear that more than fifteen years ago, in mystical language, he was damaged. Moreover, let’s say, the damage was unconventional, associated not with the relationship between a man and a woman, but with relationships two men. It seems that while working in "Ivanushki" Yakovlev had some kind of romance that energetically held him very strongly. And this influenced the further course of his life. Because of this, he had to leave the group," – Pavsekakiy shared the results of his calculations.
The stars whispered to the astrologer that all these years the singer had suffered from a serious illness. “Initially fatal. But not cirrhosis of the liver. And not cancer. As the horoscope shows, this disease was AIDS. Ultimately, it killed Oleg. He developed inflammation, and his weakened immune system could not cope with it,” the Express website quotes Pavsekakiy -newspaper".
On Thursday, June 29, the media called probable cause death of former lead singer of the group “Ivanushki International” Oleg Yakovlev.
So, according to some reports, the singer was sick with AIDS. The musician’s heart problems were a consequence of immunodeficiency, reports citing a “competent source.”

“My heart and my nose feel that there will be no summer,” the artist suggested. - Be strong, hold on, warm yourself. And try to find a warm place to go there. Crimea, Türkiye, Greece. You need to stock up on tan and vitamin D, because, as it seems to me, there will be no hot summer either in Moscow or in Tver. So shake your heels so that only your heels sparkle... And at the same time, believe that next year the winter will be snowless and the summer will be hot. And everything will be great with us.
Even during his speech, Oleg Yakovlev asked the audience not to pay attention to the vicissitudes of the weather and to find reasons for optimism. However, during a conversation with a correspondent for the site, he openly spoke about how he himself copes with difficult life situations:
– When such situations happen, and I admit, they do happen. I can’t say that everything in my world is cloudless. I kick everyone out of the house, I want to be alone, just sit and sleep, sleep, sleep. Wait until it’s a sunny morning, open the curtain and just look at the river and the boats. And then force yourself to put on sneakers and go for a walk around ancient Moscow. Alone. People annoy me when I'm having a hard time. I'm not used to crying into my vest and saying how bad I feel. I always get out of a situation myself and never ask anyone for anything. On the contrary, I myself am asking for someone.
- Or go somewhere - to the dacha or to see friends. Or you can have a day of revelry. Quite normal,” Yakovlev tried to smile broadly.
“Thank you, people of Tver, for the warm welcome!” – after the concert in the Tver mega-mall Oleg wrote on his page on the social network.
