Childhood and family of Oleg Gazmanov

Oleg Gazmanov spent all his childhood in Kaliningrad. In the city, which keeps the echoes of the Great Patriotic War, all the boys without exception were fond of searching for weapons and ammunition in abandoned places. Young Gazmanov was also engaged in this, and rather quickly he collected a whole warehouse of weapons at home. He even had a German machine gun in his arsenal. When his parents went to work, little Oleg put him on the windowsill and "bombed" an imaginary enemy.

Once this game ended in tears. The trigger was not pressed in any way, and Oleg decided to hit it with a hammer. After the first blow, the machine gun fell from the windowsill right on the little finger of the boy. Fortunately, at that moment the singer's mother returned home and provided first aid to her son.

It is worth noting that many peers of Oleg Gazmanov died after handling captured weapons. Such a fate could have awaited the singer himself, but trouble bypassed him. Once Oleg stepped on an anti-tank mine, could not move it and began to open it right on the spot. Such curiosity could have ended in tragedy if the boy's father had not noticed his experiments in time.

"Alone with everyone": Oleg Gazmanov

Oleg Gazmanov began to sing as a child. However, at first, the music did not evoke pleasant emotions in the boy at all. At the age of five, the boy was sent to a music school (violin class). Over the next two years, an overly strict teacher instilled in Oleg a strong dislike for music.

Then he started playing sports. I must say that in childhood Gazmanov did not differ in good health. Doctors diagnosed him with congenital heart disease and forbade him to exercise. But the stubborn young man decided to take life into his own hands. Despite the prohibitions of his parents, he ran away from the house through the drainpipe and went to the gym.

At first, the 11-year-old frail boy was not even wanted to be accepted into the section, but after a year of classes, he was already the strongest in the group. Oleg's mother at first resisted and even wanted to take the school coach to court, but after a couple of years, her son's heart murmurs disappeared, and the woman changed her anger to mercy. In 1967, he became the first in the USSR to do a double somersault in floor exercises in light gymnastics. But the athlete had to forget about the professional career of the athlete after the injury - in the ninth grade, Gazmanov crushed his legs on the crossbar and spent a long time in the hospital.

At school, Oleg Gazmanov studied secondary, by the way, he comprehended science in the same institution along with the future "First Lady of Russia" Lyudmila Putina (then Shkrebneva) and Lada Dance. After graduating, Gazmanov entered the Kaliningrad Marine Engineering School (specialty "refrigeration and compressor machines and installations"). After graduating in 1973, for another three years, the future artist sailed on the freezing trawler Volzhanin.

Upon his return, he entered the graduate school of his native university, for some time he even taught. However, the music dragged him more and more, until one day the man decided to enter a music school, which he successfully graduated in 1981.

The creative path of Oleg Gazmanov. Start

Having matured, in parallel with his studies at the music school, he tried himself in various groups (Blue Bird, Galaxy), and also played for the amusement of the public in the Kaliningrad restaurant - these performances brought him the main income, which was very useful, because to At this point, the young man already had a family: wife Irina and son Rodion.

Already at that time, Oleg Gazmanov proved himself to be an outstanding composer, but he did not dare to write words for his own music. Then he took a chance, and, in the opinion of his many musically competent acquaintances, the debut was very successful.

In 1986, he wrote his first hit, a song about a girl named Lucy. But, alas, he himself failed to fulfill it - he seriously broke his voice. As the artist later recalled, then the question was even decided whether Gazmanov could sing at all.

Therefore, Oleg Mikhailovich made a bet on his son and did not fail - "Lucy" performed by 5-year-old Rodion Gazmanov made a splash. But the lyrics had to be changed, because it would be strange if a little boy started singing about a girl. Therefore, the song now sang about a missing dog named Lucy, the favorite of the whole court. And Oleg Gazmanov himself restored his voice with the help of a six-month vacation at sea.

Rodion Gazmanov - "Lucy"

Realizing that Moscow would open up new prospects for their musical career, Gazmanov moved his son and wife to the capital. A clip was quickly shot on “Lucy”, which was highly appreciated by Alla Pugacheva herself, who turned it on on the air of the “Morning Mail” program and overnight made Rodion Gazmanov popular. And with him, his father. Together with this one hit, they collected entire stadiums.

Oleg Gazmanov is a regular participant in concert programs dedicated to military and men's holidays. There he sings his legendary song "Lord Officers". And its text, by the way, was repeatedly criticized: ““ Gentlemen officers! ”... What kind of gentlemen? What gentlemen? Where did they come from?.. Participants of the Great Patriotic War, officers of the Red Army, old people who have never been addressed like that in their entire lives are sitting in the hall. And now in the army they say “comrade”. And if "gentlemen" in connection with the Great Patriotic War, then this should be regarded only as an appeal to the Germans or to the Vlasovites, ”the dissatisfied were indignant.

The next day, he again noticed her near the concert venue and sent his drummer to invite Marina to the concert. This offended the girl: “Tell your boss not to send the messenger anymore!”. Gazmanov had to personally invite the beauty. She agreed, but only out of politeness, as she was not a fan of his work. But her opinion changed radically after the performance - such energy hovered over the hall, the audience reacted so emotionally to every chord!

Oleg Gazmanov - a popular Russian singer, composer, performer of author's songs, was born in the Kaliningrad region, the provincial town of Gusev, on 07/22/1953.

Childhood

Oleg Gazmanov's parents are from Belarus. In the Kaliningrad region, fate threw the Gazmanov family after the war. His father was a soldier, so they lived where the authorities ordered. Mother treated the sick in a military hospital.

So the Gazmanov family was very far from art. Oleg was left without a father early, shortly after the birth of his son, he died from wounds received at the front, and all care for the child fell on the mother's shoulders.

In childhood

The boy was weak in childhood - he was born with a heart defect and the doctors categorically forbade him from active physical activity. But he was too restless and mobile to comply with any restrictions. He ran a lot, was naughty and was no different from his peers.

As a child, Oleg Gazmanov was twice on the verge of death. At that time, Kaliningrad still reminded of the war. In every nook and cranny and in every yard one could find traces of military operations. The children spent the whole day collecting the remains of weapons. Everything was interesting.

Once Oleg Gazmanov found an anti-tank mine. Not realizing the danger of the find, the boy wanted to drag it into the house. But the mine turned out to be heavy, so Oleg decided to open it right on the street. The soldiers passing by were able to save the boy from a terrible misfortune. Another time, when Oleg was alone in the apartment, a fire broke out. The parents who returned in time were also able to prevent the death of the child.

He went to school in Kaliningrad. There, the boy was found to have outstanding musical abilities, and music lessons were added to the secondary school. The boy found a way out for his irrepressible energy in sports. His new hobby, which his mother categorically opposed, was gymnastics.

In young age

The boy was given the condition that neither school nor music should suffer from gymnastics, and he had to be very organized in order to keep up with everything. Sports not only strengthened Oleg physically, but also tempered his character. Oleg became collected and independent beyond his years.

He finished playing sports in high school after a serious injury, having fulfilled the standard of the Master of Sports.

Scientific work

Being an incorrigible romantic, in love with the sea, near which he grew up, Gazmanov enters the naval engineering school. Possessing an outstanding mind and a natural inclination for the exact sciences, he learns easily, without much effort, and graduates from a complex technical university with honors. He was predicted to have a brilliant scientific career.

It is not surprising that after receiving a diploma, he remains at his native university to work as a teacher and is enthusiastically engaged in cutting-edge scientific developments. Soon he brilliantly defends his Ph.D. thesis and creates a number of very interesting projects.

But during the years of stagnation there were no people interested in their implementation. Disillusioned with science, Gazmanov ends his technical career and devotes himself completely to music.

Musical career

Music never disappeared from the life of the future star. Even during his studies and scientific activities, he played the guitar a lot, sang and composed songs. He just hadn't thought about doing it professionally before.

An unforgettable feeling prompted him to such an idea, which he remembered for the rest of his life, playing dances as part of the school VIA. All the girls of the school looked at him with loving eyes, and Oleg always appreciated female attention.

And in 1977 he entered the music school, setting himself the goal of making music his new profession. Even during his studies, he begins to actively write music and songs, works with several Kaliningrad groups. The first official place of work as a musician was the prestigious Kaliningrad restaurant, in which he got a job with the help of friends.

Soon after graduating from college, Gazmanov got married, and the maintenance of the family required more and more money. He works with several well-known bands, writes his own songs and music, but does not yet dare to perform them in front of the public, much less offer them to other artists.

First Hits

He wrote his first hit for his son. After the birth of a child, many things turned upside down in his life. The son became his perpetual motion machine on the way to success. Growing up virtually without a father, he sought to give the child everything that was possible. He really wanted little Rodion to be proud of his dad.

Oleg created a whole album of children's songs for his son, which was released a few years later.

But Lucy's song, written in 1986, had a story of its own. Initially, it was dedicated to a girl with that name. But by the time the work on the song was completed, Gazmanov had seriously damaged his ligaments at one of his performances. The doctors' verdict was harsh - either a few months of active recovery or a complete loss of voice.

Not used to giving up, Gazmanov made an unexpected move and brought his little son to the stage, who had an excellent voice and hearing since childhood. The lyrics of the song were changed a little, and the girl turned into a dog, the favorite of all the kids of the 80s. A day after the recording of the performance of Oleg and Rodion Gazmanov was shown on TV, the song became a nationwide hit.

Gazmanov transports his family to Moscow, where he is taken under his wing by the prima donna of the Russian stage Pugachev. It was she who helped ensure that Lucy's song got on the most popular music program at that time, "Morning Mail", after which Gazmanov became a real pop star.

At the head of the "Squadron"

Inspired by success, Gazmanov actively begins to write songs for himself and other famous performers. With his music and texts, Leontiev, Boyarsky, Malikov, Karachentsov, Presnyakov Jr. and even Iosif Kobzon enter the stage. But this is not enough for a young artist - he wants to fully realize himself in his work.

Gazmanov left the best of the songs written for himself and his future group, which was created in 1989 and debuted with the song "Ekadron", which set a real record, lasting for a whole year and a half at the top of all music charts. However, this record was not the only one.

Among the achievements of the group is the longest concert tour, which lasted a little over a year, during which they traveled not only throughout the former USSR, but also visited several foreign countries. And the largest hall - during one of the concerts in Luzhniki, more than 70,000 people were present at the same time.

Thus began the brilliant musical path of one of the most popular Russian bands, the interest in which has only been growing over the years, despite the fact that it has been performing on the stages of the country for more than 20 years. By the way, this is one of the favorite groups of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

It was he who proposed to entrust Gazmanov with the performance and recording of the country's main song - the National Anthem of Russia.

The performer Oleg Gazmanov is also known to the general public as an actor. For the first time, he got film roles back in the 90s in the famous New Year's musicals "Old Songs about the Main". Later, he received quite a lot of proposals for filming, and even the scripts for some films were written exclusively for Gazmanov. Among the similar works of the artist are such films as "New Year's SMS" and "Mixed Feelings".

Another well-known performer, Yuri Shevchuk, often criticizes the creative achievements of Oleg Gazmanov and gives him an assessment of "Kremlin-parquet", and also accuses the performer of plagiarism of his song "Born in the USSR".

Personal life of Oleg Gazmanov

Gazmanov was married twice. He created his first family very early and lived with his wife for 20 long years. The reasons for the divorce were not disclosed, although they were rumored to be the artist's numerous betrayals, which his wife was simply tired of enduring. Gazmanov still has a close and warm relationship with his son.

He officially married his second wife in 2003, although their close relationship began much earlier. The second wife is almost 20 years younger than Gazmanov, had a son from his first marriage, to whom the singer gave his last name.

With his second wife Marina Muravyova

Oleg Gazmanov's hits "Squadron", "Esaul", "Seaman", soulful songs "Officers", "Wait", "Mama" won the hearts of millions of music lovers of the post-Soviet space.

Father Mikhail Semenovich served in the Navy, mother Zinaida Abramovna worked as a nurse, then as a nurse in a military hospital, but they met on peaceful days. When the war ended, they got married and moved to Kaliningrad. Gazmanov's parents are Belarusians: mother was born in the village of Koshany, Mogilev region, father - in the village of Mikhalki, Gomel region.

The childhood of the future star also passed in Kaliningrad, where every yard reminded of the recent war. Gazmanov and his friends were looking for weapons and soon gathered an arsenal, including a German machine gun. One day he came across an anti-tank mine and dragged him into the house. But the find turned out to be so heavy that Oleg undertook to open it on the spot. A benevolent fate saved the boy from death: the soldiers passing by dragged him away from the mine.

So the first glory to Oleg Gazmanov was brought by songwriting, not performance. The composition "Lucy", written for his son, turned out to be the debut hit of the Kaliningrad musician.

The song has an interesting history. The heroine of the hit was the girl Lucy, but Oleg Gazmanov could not sing the composition, as he lost his voice.
