“Olezhka and I have gone through a very difficult, but interesting, creative and life path, a path that brings us closer together. Although you understand very well that the team is a family where there are quarrels and grievances. solo career), I was happy for him that everything was working out for him. Like a bolt from the blue, I learned that he was in the hospital. Olezhka, I love you, the Kingdom of heaven to you," Kirill Andreev was the first to take the floor.
His words were picked up by Andrey Grigoriev-Appolonov, who could not restrain his emotions. His speech was often interrupted by tears. He talked about the complex creative way Oleg Yakovlev, who always aspired to art with his soul, and shared with those present memories of his colleague, confused, but touching.

“There are more than 90% of people here who don’t know Oleg as a boy from Ulaanbaatar. He told me that when he was six years old, he and his younger sister wanted to escape to Moscow from the village with yurts. And they really went on foot along the rails; they were found two days later and returned.Several people probably know him as a student puppet theater. He lived then in fig, to be honest, conditions. But the soul is bright, aspired to art, to the theater. Soul, brain, mind aspired, he understood that he could do something more. Oleg became a real artist, a real "Ivanushka". It seems to me that everything he had to do in life, he did. Olezhka is great, he saved the team - I don’t know who else could have been 15 years with the crazy me and Kirill (Andreev), he himself became an Artist with a capital letter, ”said Grigoriev-Appolonov. He emphasized that any Russian-speaking one can easily recognize his voice.

The current member of the team read out the messages of those who wanted to personally say goodbye to the artist, but could not fly from other Russian cities due to adverse weather conditions.

Man of magical charm

She accompanied the artist on endless tours, helped with a solo project. She tenderly spoke of the departed in a trembling voice, in which incredible bitterness was heard.


“Oleg was always very modest, he always hid and ran away on his birthday. He seemed to think that it was superfluous, he was such a simple person, he could find mutual language and charm anyone. This is yesterday's thunderstorm ... He apparently did not want big celebrations and goodbyes. There was crazy magic in Oleg, wherever he was, he made everyone fall in love with him. He had charm, we will remember him radiant and joyful. He always helped everyone, never refused anyone. He had a huge heart. Sleep, Olezhenka, calmly, please, I love you very much," Kutsevol said.

"Oleg lived a short, but stormy, very fast-paced life. He started with the theater, then he had a job in the Ivanushki team. I consider the solo project to be the culmination of his work. Of course, it's easier to live and work in a team, you have a shoulder support ", and one is extremely difficult. But he did it. Oleg was very happy and proud that he could realize himself as an author. We are eternally grateful to Oleg for the years he spent with us," Matvienko shared.

Oleg Yakovlev died in a Moscow hospital after a serious illness, the civil wife of the artist Alexander Kutsevol told RIA Novosti earlier. At the end of June, the singer was hospitalized in serious condition with bilateral pneumonia. The widow specified that Yakovlev would be cremated.

Sasha Kutsevol is going to challenge Oleg's will, since her name was not in this document. The lawyer said that if Kutsevol did not work at the time of her death and was supported by a man, then she would definitely be able to inherit some share, regardless of whether she was mentioned in this document or not.

The niece of Oleg Yakovlev claims that he raised her from childhood. The deceased in his last will did not mention the name of his wife, but the girl plans to compete for the inheritance. The other day, for the first time after the death of the performer, his niece from Irkutsk, Tatyana Yakovleva, got in touch with reporters. AT this moment the fate of the artist's legacy is being decided, which, according to some professionals, is estimated at 200 million rubles. As it turned out, the main heiress of the singer was his niece Tatyana Yakovleva.

In the summer of 2014, unexpectedly for everyone, the ex-soloist of Ivanushki International Oleg Yakovlev died. “Judging by her actions, Alexandra is not going to give up her inheritance and is leading a very active struggle in this direction,” Tatyana Yakovleva told Komsomolskaya Pravda reporters. Oleg Yakovlev's niece told reporters that Alexandra Kutsevol clearly wants to fight for these funds.

The ex-soloist of "Ivanushki" was born in Mongolia. His father is from Uzbekistan, his mother is from Buryatia. When Oleg Yakovlev was five years old, family moved in the village of Selenginsk.

After the death of the musician, his civil wife Alexandra Kutsevol announced that she was not going to fight for the inheritance. The musician was cremated. only since the beginning of August, the urn with the ashes of the artist was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery in the capital. According to Yakovleva, Kutsevol is unhappy that her last name was not in the will. Kutsevol herself this situation does not comment in any way, it is only clear that relatively recently the girl applied for financial assistance to the soloists of Ivanushki International, Komsmolskaya Pravda informs.

- Even if the fans really want and buy a monument, they will not be able to install it on Oleg's grave. I believe that such initiatives should be coordinated. I don’t know what goals these people are pursuing,” the publication quoted Alexandru Kutsevol.

As journalists managed to find out, Yakovlev left a will. At the same time, the document does not contain the name of Alexandra Kutsevol, his common-law wife, who, after the death of the artist, declared that she was his only relative.

Oleg Yakovlev from the Ivanushki International group did not indicate his own common-law spouse in his will. “There is a will. Sasha Kutsevol is going to challenge Oleg's will, since her last name was not in this document, ”the website quotes the artist’s niece TVNZ. According to a relative of the late artist, the girl is going to fight for the inheritance. A relative of the late artist, in turn, said that Kutsevol is not on the list of Oleg Yakovlev's heirs. At the moment, the fate of the artist's legacy is being decided, which, according to some professionals, is estimated at 200 million rubles.

The artist's niece Tatyana Yakovleva said that only she and one more person were indicated in his will. Recently, a relative of the artist said that Kutsevol did not give up trying to become a contender for his inheritance.

According to Tatyana, some time ago Kutsevol applied for financial help to other members of the Ivanushki International group, whom the artist’s niece knew personally - he himself brought her to them at a concert in Angarsk in 1998. Later, Oleg introduced the relative to close friends, including actor Roman Radov and Dmitry Minaev, the sound engineer of the popular band.

The reporters met with Oleg Yakovlev's niece, Tatyana. The woman spoke about the will, and also noted that, despite the rumors, Alexandra is still going to challenge it, claiming part of the inheritance.

Six months after the death of the performer between his civil wife Alexandra Kutsevol and niece Tatyana Yakovleva flared up real war for an inheritance. As StarHit notes, the artist has three apartments and a room located in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Montenegro.

Oleg Yakovlev's niece Tatyana declares that only she and one more person are listed in the will of her eminent relative.

However, a friend of the late Ivanushka, journalist and PR man Yevgenia Kirichenko, told Komsomolskaya Pravda: initially it was not about the monument, but about buying granite vases, flowers and installing a small fence. It was also planned to use the collected money to purchase a tool box and the tools themselves - in order to take care of the grave.

At the end of June last year, the 47-year-old former soloist of the Ivanushki International group Oleg Yakovlev died. The artist's heart stopped in one of the capital's clinics. After the death of the singer, his common-law wife Alexandra Kutsevol stated that she was not going to fight for the inheritance. According to some reports, Yakovlev left three apartments and a room, located in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Montenegro.

- We do not feel sorry for either the forces or the means for the improvement of Yakovlev's grave. In addition, all our actions would be exclusively temporary until a monument to the artist was erected there. By the way, we are also ready to donate money to him, as there is information that Alexandra is experiencing some financial difficulties. In addition, we believe that a fence - at least some kind - must be installed. Active development is underway nearby, and if the space is not fenced off now, then problems may arise with the installation of the monument in the future, - Evgenia explained.

This is not the first scandal in which the musician's widow was involved. Recall four years later months after the death of the artist, those who were not indifferent decided to erect a monument to him at the Troekurovsky cemetery in Moscow and opened a fundraiser. Alexandra Kutsevol was not informed: the girl learned about this from her friends.

Recall that Oleg Yakovlev died on June 29 at the age of 47. Tatyana Yakovleva did not sign an agreement on the creative heritage, then the singer's beloved yelled at her niece and their communication ended. But Alexandra, judging by the preliminary available information at the moment, which appeared in the press, is going to challenge last will your lover.

According to a relative of the singer, at first she had a good relationship with Kutsevol. “We corresponded every day, we became friends, I was sincerely glad, I supported her in everything,” recalls Yakovleva. However, after the death of the artist, women lost mutual understanding.

The prerequisite for death, as Kutsevol herself says, was pneumonia, an advanced form. The musician was cremated. only since the beginning of August, the urn with the ashes of the artist was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery in the capital.

Interestingly, the artist's friends and his former colleagues there was no Ivanushka group. The team is on tour in Gorno-Altaisk, the guys decided not to return to the capital for the funeral.

ON THIS TOPIC

Exact date and the place of mourning events was not announced until Sunday, therefore, to carry out the musician in last way only the closest people who were in Moscow on August 7 could. Among them was Igor Matvienko, who created Ivanushki. Employment history Yakovleva, and after the artist left for solo swimming, she remained in his production center.

The civil wife of the singer until the last hoped to get permission to bury the urn with the ashes on Vagankovsky cemetery. "There were hopes to erect a monument, which would require one square meter area. A response from the administration of the necropolis was expected until Friday, August 4th. As a result, the burial was forced to be organized at another metropolitan cemetery - Troekurovsky," KP quotes Alexandra Kutsevol.

During the funeral, Oleg Yakovlev's song "Don't Cry" was played. He recorded this composition shortly before his death, and Kutsevol prepared a release for the past 40 days since the death of his beloved.

Yesterday, the funeral of the ex-soloist of "Ivanushki" Oleg Yakovlev took place in the capital. The singer died on the morning of June 29. He died without regaining consciousness in one of the intensive care units in Moscow. The 47-year-old artist turned to doctors too late, who could not prevent serious complications caused by bilateral pneumonia.

The musician's death came as a shock to both his fans and friends. Oleg Yakovlev has no close relatives left. Over the past five years, Alexandra Kutsevol was next to him, who organized the funeral.

On July 1, colleagues, friends and fans said goodbye to the artist in the funeral hall of the Troekurovsky cemetery. At the request of Yakovlev, his body was cremated.

However, the funeral itself stretched for almost 40 days ...

Oleg Yakovlev was buried under his last song

The reason why the ashes of the artist were not buried for so long was the desire of his common-law wife Alexandra to bury her lover at the Vagankovsky cemetery. The woman planned to erect a monument there, to which Oleg's fans could always come.

The Vagankovskoye cemetery is closed, so a special permit is required to get a piece of land there. For several weeks, Kutsevol was waiting for a response from the capital's officials, but even the participation of Igor Matvienko and Diana Gurtskaya in this case did not bring results, permission was never received.

Note that on the Internet, many users were surprised by Alexandra's desire to bury Yakovlev at the Vagankovsky cemetery. The girl was advised to choose a less pretentious necropolis and not delay the funeral.

The decision to bury Oleg Yakovlev at the Troekurovsky cemetery was announced literally the day before the funeral. Because of this, very few people came to see the artist on his last journey, only about 20 people.

Igor Matvienko and Natalya Gulkina were spotted among the celebrities at the Troekurovsky cemetery yesterday.

Was not at the funeral of the ex-"Ivanushka" of his colleagues in the group. Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov and Kirill Andreev found out about the date of the funeral too late - on this day the band had a concert scheduled in Gorno-Altaisk.

During the funeral of Oleg Yakovlev, his new song “Don’t Cry” sounded, which the artist did not have time to present to the audience.

We mark this material in Zen and stay abreast of all the intrigues and scandals of show business.

She was the last to leave the hall where the musician was seen off on his last journey.

On Saturday, show business said goodbye to the ex-soloist of the Ivanushki-International group Oleg Yakovlev.

On the day when it became known about the death of the artist, many of his stage colleagues rushed to scribble touching condolences on the social network. Only a few considered it appropriate to take the musician on his last journey.

And immediately I remembered the words of TV presenter Andrei Malakhov: “Oleg was not in the cage. And when he last time invited me to the presentation of his video, I did not go. That evening I was tired after filming, and I just didn’t feel like it. Although if one of the stars of the first magnitude invited me to his place, then, despite the fatigue, I would have to look in.

Probably, if on Saturday they buried a star “from the clip”, then the beau monde would have gathered in full force at parting.

The place and time of farewell to the ex-soloist of "Ivanushki" were notified in advance. 12.00 Troekurovskoye cemetery, house-necropolis. By the appointed time, people began to pull up. The parking lot was filled with Mercedes, Lexus, BMW. Ladies in high heels and in short skirts with curls laid down, men in strict black suits. Secular mourning in all its glory.

The first of the stars to arrive was the ex-soloist of the group "Brilliant" Ksenia Novikova. Looked back. I was perplexed. I didn't find mine.

While waiting for her colleagues, she agreed to talk to reporters.

Olezhek was a kind, bright little man, - the singer began. - The last time we saw him was three months ago, at a presentation. In fact, they hardly spoke. They exchanged a few words and parted ways. I know that he worked non-stop, so they say. On the eve of his death, I called up his common-law wife. We understood that he didn’t have long, but we drove these thoughts away from ourselves. The journalists told me that he was gone. I'm with him, they honestly say recent years 10, close and did not communicate. Everyone has their own life. I have a family, children, I don't often go to secular parties.

The journalists turned off the cameras.

At this time, the soloist of "Ivanushki" Andrey Grigoriev-Appolonov drove up in the company of girls and men. The guard immediately lined up in front of the artist. The musician held a magnificent bouquet of peonies in his hands. He did not respond to journalists.

Soon Grigoriev-Appolonov with a support group advanced towards the farewell hall. By this time, about fifty fans of Yakovlev had gathered on the steps of the necropolis: young people, disabled people, women well over forty. Basically, the audience was old. Most of them are in sports shorts, someone is in a T-shirt with a portrait of Yakovlev, withered chrysanthemums in their hands. Not everyone mourned. Only a few were crying. The sensations were strange. It seemed that the people gathered rather to inquire and stare at the stars than to say goodbye to the musician.

Yakovlev's colleagues on the stage were let into the farewell hall. There were few of them - Ivanushki soloists Andrey Grigoriev Appolonov, Kirill Andreev with his wife and son, group producer Igor Matvienko, singer Katya Lel, TV presenter Alexander Oleinikov.

Towards the end, Anna Semenovich appeared.

Stars, probably, should be allowed through the VIP entrance? Or should I go with everyone? - the singer cast a glance towards the crowded fans.

Farewell to Oleg Yakovlev took place behind closed doors. Only friends and close acquaintances of the deceased were allowed through.

We are relatives, can we go? an elderly woman and a man pleaded with the guards.

The security guard invited the person responsible for the event. The girl, who did not go into details of who these relatives were to Yakovlev, gave the command to “skip”. She apologized to the new arrivals as best she could: “We have no idea who the relative is here. They didn't tell us ahead of time."

Meanwhile, among the fans of Yakovlev, indignation was growing: “What other relatives? Olezhek has no one left.”

Oleg and I talked a lot, - says one of the fans. - I know for sure, his sister died a long time ago from oncology, his mother also died. He never knew his father at all. And his two nieces live in Altai, they could not fly. They didn't succeed. So, consider that Yakovlev has no blood relatives. Who are these people?

In the crowd of fans, there was talk about who saw Yakovlev for the last time and how they remembered him.

I recently ran into him after another event on the street. He was wearing a huge layer of makeup, you can't see his face. As if masking the disease. But even through the makeup it was noticeable that something was wrong with him, - sighed fat woman 40 years old. - But my friend could not come here. As soon as she heard about the death of Olezhek, she still cannot come to her senses. In hysterics the third day. Why are they not letting us inside to the coffin?

Did you see how Red looked at me? chirped the young girl. Of course he recognized me. I haven't missed a single concert. I would have asked him one question: “Why did you all leave Yakovlev?” I know that Oleg did not get out of bed for almost ten days. Something happened to his back, he could no longer walk. They say his kidneys were already failing.

The dissatisfaction among the fans increased.

At 12.00 everything will start for you, - the guard threw. - Have respect. Relatives do not go to see outsiders in the hall.

Two men from the fan group clung to the glass, trying to see what was happening in the farewell hall.

The redhead approached the coffin. Costs. Says something. Can't hear, - broadcast one. - There Kirill is standing. Nobody seems to be crying. Everything is quiet.

Exactly at the appointed time, the guard gave the command: “We pass quickly. No one lingers at the coffin. We do not approach the friends of the deceased. They quickly went in, put flowers and left. Videos and photos are strictly prohibited. Please do not be onlookers."

Fans were let in by 15 people. Everyone, as if on cue, unanimously laid flowers, touched the coffin and quickly ran out into the street. A dozen guards kept order.

To the left of the coffin, Yakovlev's relatives and friends were sitting or standing. The civil wife - in huge dark glasses, in a cap pulled down over her eyes, a sweater with a hood, threw a blanket on top. It was stuffy in the hall. But the girl was shaking. Perhaps she was the only one of all who realized the severity of the loss.

After the farewell ceremony, the doors to the mourning hall were locked again.

The funeral will begin now, - the guard informed. “It’s strange why we were driven here in such numbers. For example, I was urgently called here from the neighboring Kuntsevsky cemetery. They announced: "There will be a lot of people, we must keep order." We arrived and there was no one here. Who to protect?

The funeral service lasted about 40 minutes. Then representatives of show business with escort went out into the street. Smoke break. Matveenko and Grigoriev-Appolonov kept together. They were talking about something. Cyril stood at a distance with family and friends. From the outside, it might seem that the people were just going to chat. I did not notice any tears or tantrums. Mourning was given only by black clothes.

Soon everyone was kissing, cheering each other on, smiling and leaving. “See you”, “Well, until next week. Otherwise, I won’t be able to get out in the next few days”, “I was glad to meet you”, “I ran, otherwise I was delayed decently,” was heard from all sides.

Life went on.

“We asked Oleg’s relatives to refuse cremation”

Journalists stubbornly waited for comments from Oleg Yakovlev's former colleagues from Ivanushki.

Guys, sorry, there will be no comments today, - Andrey Grigoriev-Appolonov ran past.

Cyril passed by without even stopping. On my own behalf, I delegated my wife Lola to the media representatives.

- How often did the guys from "Ivanushki" communicate with Yakovlev in recent times?

Very rarely. But if they crossed paths at events, then they were happy to meet, ”Lola began. - I know that Oleg missed the guys, for that time, for tours, for trains, for parties. And every time we were nostalgic with him, I saw tears in his eyes. But it was too late to return everything. At first, when Oleg had just left the group, he was happy to solo career. I thought he could do it...

- Is it true that Alexander's wife provoked him to leave the group?

Nobody provoked him. There just came a moment when he got tired of performing the same songs. Can you imagine, 20 years to go on stage and with the same hits? What can we dissemble, there are not enough songs from "Ivanushki". After all, Oleg himself wrote poetry, music, he decided to promote his work himself. Sasha then told him: "I will support any decision you make." Relations at that time between Oleg and the guys were tense. Everything was. There was a breakdown. And only Sasha supported Oleg.

- Why did the artist decide to be cremated?

It was the desire of Oleg himself. He talked about it. No, not recently, but in general somehow let slip. Sasha decided to fulfill his request. Although we persuaded her to bury Oleg in a Christian way, to save the body. My mother recently died, I buried my best friend and I understand how important it is to come to the grave. But relatives of Oleg decided otherwise.

-What are close. If he has no one?

I mean Sasha. Oleg has no close relatives.

- Where is Alexandra now, is she not visible among the audience?

She is the last to say goodbye to Oleg. Decided to stay alone.

Was there really love between them? Or is it only fan loyalty on Sasha's part, and Oleg took it for granted?

Sasha really loved him. She gave all of herself to him, it was sacrificial love. Oleg did not have a person more devoted to her. She was with him in sorrow and in joy. When they first met, she was a fan of Oleg. She told me: “Even if nothing works out for us, I will always be next to him.” I was laughing. At first, she was simply by his side, solving all his questions, helping. And only a few years ago they began to live together.

- Did he love her?

But who will understand the artist. But the fact that she loved him many times more is obvious. She literally served him. Books are written about such devotion.

- What was the exact diagnosis for Yakovlev?

This has already been talked about a lot. I don't want to repeat myself again. The diagnosis was terrible. He had one terrible disease superimposed on another, then on a third.

- Which one?

Let's just say he had a very serious, serious illness. I don't want to voice it. You need to understand what kind of life Oleg led. Couldn't stop right away. When he was in pain, he drowned out the pain with different things. It is known that all artists become addicted. Some from alcohol, others from something else. We drank a lot in Ivanushki, hard and often. Every evening they sat down and drank, a glass of another and away we go. My husband told me every time: "I'm not an alcoholic." To which I replied: “You are not an alcoholic, but you drink every day.” It was very difficult for them to stop. Kirill was stopped by trepanation of the skull, he was injured after another drunkenness, he underwent the operation in 2001. If not for the injury, it is not known if he would have lived now. This contagion alcohol sprouted in the group tightly. And only Sasha pulled Oleg out of binges, and was next to him in those difficult days. She accepted anyone.

- How does she feel now?

She is very ill. But until she fully realized what had happened. She is in a stupor. She'll get worse in two days.

- There were rumors that she tried to commit suicide?

No that's not true. We will not allow this. We will be by her side. Although she said: “I don’t want to live if he is not around.” She had these conversations all the time.

- Did you know that Yakovlev has serious health problems?

He hid his problems from everyone. Always laughed in public. His sad eyes betrayed him. But his eyes were always sad. Perhaps it comes from childhood. Also, he was very afraid of being alone. Tried to be friendly with everyone. He congratulated us on all holidays, never forgot to present gifts. Even in the old days, on tour, when he flew out of the airport, he ran into a perfume store to buy everyone a bottle of perfume.

- When did you last see him?

I don't remember exactly. In my opinion, at Kirill's birthday party. He didn't say anything about illness. Yes, he never complained. Always pretended everything was fine.

- Did he have enough money for treatment?

Believe me, even if he had nothing to eat, he would not borrow a penny from anyone. Never asked for money. I tried to cope on my own. And this time, apparently, the forces were not enough.

"Yakovlev drank no less than Ryzhy"

On the same day, we talked with music observer Vladimir Polupanov, who on the day of Yakovlev's death left a comment on the social network: "Oleg has a diagnosis that is not spoken about aloud."

For all his sociability, Oleg seemed to elude communication all the time, - began Polupanov. - I could call, congratulate you on the holiday and say: “We haven’t seen each other for a long time, Volodechka.” But at the same time, he never offered specific dates and meeting places. I have been to the presentations of his clips twice. And both times, by the way, the guys from Ivanushki were present there.

Is it true that after leaving the group, Yakovlev was left out of work? They stopped inviting him to events, began to forget?

He has never been the frontman of the group, so he has never been called anywhere before. And when he went solo swimming, I think that's when they began to forget him a little. But his wife reminded him every time.

- Have you heard about his long, protracted illness, about which they are talking about?

I have not heard of the disease. But I often saw Oleg a little tipsy, but very positive. Outwardly, he was always skinny.

- In vain did he leave the group, what do you think?

Sasha had a hand in his departure, telling him: "You are cool and worthy of more." It seems to me that Oleg himself was not particularly worried that he left the group. I should have left already. He was, after all, 43 years old. The age for a boy band is completely inappropriate. Neither in private conversations nor in interviews did he say that he was sorry. On the contrary, he boasted of his successes, new songs that he recorded in Ukraine with Ukrainian authors.

Why didn't Yakovlev and Alexandra get married?

Think. She loved him, and he enjoyed this love. But did not love. In one of recent interviews, he said: “Sasha is engaged in my promotion. He walks around the house in slippers and does not cook at all. Because he can't." loving man That's what I would say about my woman. Although, who knows. Alien soul of darkness. Maybe it was a special kind of love.

- Did Yakovlev understand that he did not have much time left? Did he talk about death?

Oleg never talked about death. But there was doom in his eyes. Or maybe it was a hangover.

Did he talk about his loved ones?

He told me, but he did not have close relationships even with his relatives. For example, once we were with Ivanushki on tour in Irkutsk. There he lived Native sister. Yakovlev immediately said: “I don’t need a hotel room, I’ll go to spend the night with my sister.” As a result, I returned to the hotel at night. Asked for a number. But the hotel was small, the governor's. Numbers were 6-7. I gave him my number. I slept on the billiard table myself.

Did he not know his father?

He personally told me the history of his family. But he did not like to talk about it. I didn’t want to emphasize that I was born from a random affair of my mother, who went on a spree with an 18-year-old soldier. But at the same time, he never spoke badly about his mother. He is survived by his nephews, two sisters.

- Did he use drugs?

I have never heard of drugs. He drank no more than Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov. In 1998, I went on tour with Ivanushki. Kirill Andreev was then after a head injury, which he received during a stormy celebration of his birthday. And his wife Lola went on tour with them. He was tied up. It was our first acquaintance. Andrei immediately suggested: “Well. Come on…” . He took out a bottle of vodka, and the three of us drank it at 8 in the morning at Domodedovo airport. And then there was more vodka. For some reason, they only drank vodka in those days. But with age, as it seemed to me, everyone began to drink much less. Yakovlev, drinking, behaved adequately. He fell asleep quietly with me.

- "Ivanushki" - a friendly team?

Relations in the group have always been difficult. It cannot be said that Kirill and Andrei were friends with Yakovlev. No. They were bandmates, but not friends. With all the consequences.

- They say that Yakovlev was depressed for the last year?

He didn't look like a broken man. What it was, and remains so. A little wiser. I remember him fondly. He was a cozy person. Polite, caring, asked more how I was doing than told about my own. I didn't take care of my health, that's a fact.

- When was the last time you talked to him?

At the beginning of the year. They were with Sasha together. They called and congratulated me on some holiday. They said they should see each other. I am still indebted to Oleg. He never refused, if it was necessary to speak at a corporate party, and did not demand an instant "payback".


The widow of Oleg Yakovlev was supported by the arms (in the center in a cap)

Yakovlev's wife Alexandra Kutsevol was the last to leave the farewell hall. No, she didn't come out. They carried her by the arms. She could no longer walk. The girl threw a blanket over her head and covered her face. Next they brought out a portrait of the deceased husband.
