The funeral ceremony took place at the Troekurovsky cemetery in the capital. His friends and colleagues came to see the artist on his last journey.

One of the first to arrive at the ceremony were Yakovlev's former partners in the Ivanushki group, Andrey Grigoriev-Appolonov and Kirill Andreev, producer of the group, Igr Matvienko.

Singer Ekaterina Chuprinina (Katya Lel) also came to say goodbye to the singer, RIA Novosti reports.

“We had a very warm relationship. He was incredible intkbbee a talented person with an amazing timbre of voice. They say correctly that the artists burn out, give all of themselves. Olezhka was a real singer, creative personwho lived for this, ”said the singer.

"Oleg never complained at all. Earlier, a long time ago, we often talked and had heart-to-heart conversations, we shared with him our dreams, thoughts about the family, about children," said ex-soloist of the "Brilliant" group Ksenia Novikova, who also came to the farewell ceremony.

As previously Topnews, the musician died on the morning of June 29 at the age of 48 in a Moscow hospital. He was previously hospitalized in serious condition with bilateral pneumonia. Doctors connected the singer to a ventilator, but this did not help. The lead singer of a popular group died of cardiac arrest.

Also, one of the versions of the cause of death of Oleg Yakovlev is liver cirrhosis, which provoked pulmonary edema.

According to the will of the deceased, his body is cremated.

Oleg Yakovlev has been a member of the Ivanushki International group since 1998, replacing Igor Sorin. His first hit in the band was "Poplar Fluff". In 2013, the musician announced the beginning of a solo career, during which he shot six videos.

Yakovlev, according to his common-law wife Alexandra Kutsevol, wanted to be cremated after death, which was done. However, the artist's funeral had to be postponed as much as 40 days: the singer's relatives hoped until the last moment that they would receive permission to bury the urn with the artist's ashes at the Vagankovsky cemetery.

However, the artist's family did not succeed: on August 7, Oleg's ashes were buried in the Troyekurovsky cemetery. Due to the fact that the date of the funeral was not known for a long time, only 20 people were able to see the musician on his last journey. Even his ex-colleagues from "Ivanushki" Andrey Grigoriev-Apollonov and Kirill Andreyev did not come. The ceremony was attended by the producer of the group - Igor Matvienko.

For the first time, the singer's work was performed just at his grave. The close people of the singer were unable to hold back tears when they heard his voice.

• Oleg Yakovlev sang in the Ivanushki International group from 1998 to 2013, and then decided to pursue a solo career. Ivanushki International is a Russian musical group founded in 1995 by producer Igor Matvienko.

• Julia, the sister of another "Ivanushka" - Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov, died on 22 July. According to Russian media reports, Julia died suddenly, death came. For many years Yulia worked with the Ivanushki International team, she helped in choosing the scenery for the group's show, helped with the stage costumes.

On the 40th day after the death of Oleg Yakovlev, his ashes were buried at the Troyekurovsky cemetery, 20 people were present. It is interesting that there were no friends of the artist and his former colleagues in the Ivanushki group. The team is on tour in Gorno-Altaysk, the guys decided not to return to the capital for the funeral.

ON THIS TOPIC

The exact date and place of the mourning events were not announced until Sunday, so only the closest people who were in Moscow on August 7 could see the musician on his last journey. Among them was Igor Matvienko, who created "Ivanushki". Yakovlev's work record and after the artist left for solo sailing remained in his production center.

The singer's common-law wife until recently hoped to get permission to bury the urn with ashes at the Vagankovsky cemetery. “There were hopes of erecting a monument, which would require one square meter of space. The necropolis administration was expected to answer until Friday, August 4. As a result, the burial was forced to be organized in another capital cemetery - Troekurovsky,” Kutsevol quotes Aleksandra.

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

“We have been dealing with the burial of Oleg at the Vagankovsky cemetery for a month now. The cemetery is closed, for this you need permission from the Moscow government. A place in the columbarium can be purchased, this is not a problem, but we need a small plot to erect a monument. Fans want to come to Oleg, people write constantly, asking where they can come, - said Kutsevol in a commentary to StarHit.

The widow hoped that the issue would be resolved as long as no more than forty days had elapsed since her death. The production center of Igor Matvienko added that they are also trying to resolve the issue with the burial place of the ex-member of the popular group. And today, on August 7, 40 days after his death, the remains of the 47-year-old singer were finally buried.

Those close to the last hoped that they would receive permission to bury the urn with the artist's ashes at the Vagankovsky cemetery. They never received a positive response from the administration. As a result, the burial was forced to organize at another capital cemetery - Troyekurovsky.

Due to such uncertainty, only the closest were able to see the singer on his last journey. Even his ex-colleagues from “Ivanushki” Andrey Grigoriev-Apollonov and Kirill Andreyev did not have time to arrive.

Oleg's main dream was to record the first solo album of his author's songs, but he did not manage to realize it.

Almost finished, he left one song "Don't Cry". During these 40 days, the wife and Igor Matvienko prepared the posthumous release of the first and last author's song by Oleg Yakovlev. It was first performed at the performer's grave. A very touching song, and in conjunction with the latest events, it is difficult to hold back tears while listening to it.

Let's remind that Oleg Yakovlev was a member of the Ivanushki International group for 15 years. Together they performed hits such as "Poplar Fluff" and "Bullfinches". Later, Yakovlev decided to concentrate on his solo career.

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 colleagues on the stage rushed to scribble touching condolences on the social network. Only few considered it appropriate to see the musician on his last journey.

And I immediately remembered the words of TV presenter Andrei Malakhov: “Oleg was not in the cage. And when he last invited me to the presentation of his video, I did not go. That evening I was tired after filming, and I just didn't want to. Although if I was invited by one of the stars of the first magnitude, then, in spite of fatigue, I would have to drop by. "

Probably, if on Saturday they buried a star "out of the cage", then the beau monde would have gathered at parting in full force.

The place and time of farewell to the ex-soloist of "Ivanushki" was announced in advance. 12.00, Troekurovskoe cemetery, necropolis house. By the appointed hour, people began to arrive. The parking lot was filled with Mercedes, Lexus, BMW. Ladies with stiletto heels and short skirts with curls, men in strict black suits came out of foreign cars. Secular mourning in all its glory.

The first of the stars to arrive was the ex-soloist of the "Brilliant" group Ksenia Novikova. She looked around. I was perplexed. I couldn't find my own.

While waiting for colleagues, I agreed to talk to reporters.

Olezhek was a kind, bright man, - the singer began. - The last time we saw him was three months ago, at one presentation. True, they practically did not communicate. A couple of words exchanged and parted. I know that he worked non-stop, so they say. On the eve of his death, I called up with his common-law wife. We understood that he didn't have much time left, but we drove these thoughts away from ourselves. The journalists told me that he was gone. I am with him, they honestly say recent years 10, close and did not communicate. Everyone has their own life. I have a family, children, I do not often go to social parties.

The journalists turned off their cameras.

At this time the soloist of "Ivanushek" Andrey Grigoriev-Appolonov arrived in the company of girls and men. The guard immediately lined up in front of the artist. The musician was holding a lush bouquet of peonies in his hands. He did not react to journalists.

Soon Grigoriev-Apolonov with a support group moved towards the farewell hall. By this time, about fifty Yakovlev's fans had gathered on the steps of the necropolis: young people, disabled people, women well over forty. Basically, the audience was of age. Most are in sports shorts, some in a T-shirt with a portrait of Yakovlev, in their hands - withered chrysanthemums. Not all grieved. Only a few cried. The sensations were strange. It seemed that the people were going to rather be curious and gawk at the stars than to say goodbye to the musician.

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

At the end of the day, Anna Semenovich appeared.

Stars should probably be allowed through the VIP entrance? Or should I go with everyone? - the singer glanced 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 pass? 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 about who these relatives belong 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. We were not informed in advance ”.

Meanwhile, among Yakovlev's fans, 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 passed away. He never knew his father at all. And his two nieces live in Altai, they could not fly. It didn't work out for them. 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 he remembered.

I recently ran into him after another event on the street. There was a huge layer of makeup on it, you couldn't see the face. Like a disease in disguise. But even through the make-up it was noticeable that something was wrong with him, ”sighed a plump woman of about 40.“ But my friend could not come here. As soon as she heard about Olezhek's death, she still cannot come to her senses. In hysterics the third day. Why are we not allowed inside to see the coffin?

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

Discontent among fans grew.

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

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

The redhead approached the coffin. Worth it. Says something. Can't hear, - one broadcasted. - Kirill is standing there. Nobody seems to be crying. Everything is quiet.

Exactly at the appointed time, the guard gave the command: “We pass quickly. Nobody lingers at the coffin. We do not approach the friends of the deceased. We went in quickly, put the flowers down and left. Videos and photos are strictly prohibited. Please do not be onlookers. "

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

To the left of the coffin sat and stood Yakovlev's relatives and friends. The common-law spouse - in huge dark glasses, in a cap pulled over her eyes, a jacket with a hood, threw a blanket on top. The hall was stuffy. But the girl was shaking. Perhaps she was the only one who realized the severity of the loss.

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

The funeral service will begin now, ”the guard informed. - It's strange why they drove us in so many here. For example, I was urgently summoned here from the neighboring Kuntsevo cemetery. They announced: "The people will be full, we must keep order." We arrived, but there is no one here. Whom to protect?

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

Soon everyone began to kiss, cheer each other up, smile and disperse. “See you,” “Well, until next week. And then I can't get out in the next few days ”,“ I was glad to meet you ”,“ I ran, otherwise I lingered decently, ”was heard from all sides.

Life went on.

"We asked Oleg's relatives to refuse cremation"

Journalists stubbornly awaited comments from former colleagues of Oleg Yakovlev from Ivanushki.

Guys, I'm sorry, there won't be any comments today, ”Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov ran past.

Cyril passed by without even stopping. I delegated my wife Lola to the media.

- How often did the guys from Ivanushki talk to Yakovlev recently?

Rarely. But if they crossed paths at events, then they were happy to meet, - Lola began. - I know that Oleg missed the guys, that time, on tours, on trains, on 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 just left the group, he was happy to pursue a solo career. I thought he would succeed ...

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

Nobody provoked him. The moment came when he was tired of performing the same songs. Can you imagine 20 years to go on stage with the same hits? To tell the truth, there are not enough songs for "Ivanushki". After all, Oleg himself wrote poetry, music, he decided to promote his work himself. Sasha then told him: "I will support any of your decisions." The relationship at that time between Oleg and the guys was tense. Anything happened. There was a discord. And only Sasha supported Oleg.

- Why did you decide to cremate the artist?

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

- What are the close ones. If he has no one?

I mean Sasha. Oleg has no close relatives.

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

She is the last to say goodbye to Oleg. I decided to stay alone.

Was there really love between them? Or is it just fan loyalty from Sasha's side, 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 more faithful person. She was with him in sorrow and in joy. When they first met, she was a fan of Oleg. She said to me: "Even if nothing goes well for us, I will always be next to him." I was laughing. At first, she was just by his side, resolved all his issues, helped. And only a few years ago they began to live together.

- He loved her?

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

- What is the exact diagnosis given to Yakovlev?

This has already been discussed a lot. I don't want to repeat myself. 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. I couldn't stop in time. When he was in pain, he drowned out the pain with various things. It is known that all artists become addicted. Some from alcohol, others from something else. We drank a lot at Ivanushki, hard and often. Every evening they sat down and drank, another glass 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. Cyril was stopped by craniotomy, was injured after another booze, underwent surgery in 2001. If not for the injury, it is not known whether he would have lived now. This alcohol contagion has grown in the group tightly. And only Sasha pulled Oleg out of hard drinking, and was with him in those difficult days. She accepted anyone.

- How does she feel now?

She's very bad. But so far she has not fully realized what happened. She is in a stupor. She will 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 next to her. Although she said: "I do not want to live if he is not there." She had these conversations all the time.

- Did you know that Yakovlev has serious health problems?

He hid his problems from everyone. Always laughing in public. Only sad eyes betrayed him. But his eyes were always sad. Perhaps it comes from childhood. And yet, he was very afraid to be left alone. I tried to maintain friendly relations with everything. He congratulated us on all the holidays, never forgot to present gifts. Even in the old days, on tour, when they flew out of the airport, he ran into a perfume store to buy each a bottle of perfume.

- When did you last see him?

I don't remember exactly. In my opinion, at Kirill's birthday. He said nothing about the disease. He never complained at all. I always pretended that everything was fine.

- Did he have enough money for treatment?

Believe me, even if he had nothing to eat, he would not have borrowed a penny from anyone. Never applied for money. I tried to cope on my own. And this time, apparently, there was not enough strength.

"Yakovlev drank no less than Ryzhy"

On the same day, we talked with music columnist 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 all the time seemed to elude communication, - Polupanov began. - I could have called, congratulated on the holiday and said: "We haven't seen you for a long time, Volodechka." But at the same time, he never offered specific dates and places of the meeting. I attended the presentation of his videos 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 hasn't been called anywhere before. And when he went on a solo voyage, I think, then they began to forget him a little. But his wife always reminded of him.

- Have you heard about his long protracted illness, about which they talk around?

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

- In vain, he still left the group, do you think?

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

- Why didn't Yakovlev and Alexandra get married?

I think. She loved him, and he enjoyed this love. But he didn't. In one of his last 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. " A loving man would say so about his woman. Although, who knows. Someone else's soul is dark. Maybe it was a special type of love.

- Yakovlev understood that he did not have much time left? Was he talking about death?

Oleg never spoke about death. But there was a sense of doom in his gaze. Or maybe it was a hangover shroud.

- Did he talk about his loved ones?

He did, but he did not have close relationships even with relatives. For example, once we were with "Ivanushki" on tour in Irkutsk. His own sister lived there. Yakovlev immediately said: "I do not need a hotel room, I will go to spend the night with my sister." As a result, he returned to the hotel at night. I asked for a number. But the hotel was small, governor's. The 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 story of his family. But he did not like to talk about it. I did not want to emphasize that he was born from an accidental romance of a mother who was on a spree with an 18-year-old soldier. But at the same time he never spoke badly about mom. He has 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 the stormy celebration of his birthday. And his wife Lola went on tour with them. He was tight. This was our first meeting. Andrey immediately suggested: “Well. Come on ... ". ... He took out a bottle of vodka, and the three of us drank it at 8 am at the Domodedovo airport. And then there was a lot of vodka. For some reason, in those days they drank only vodka. But with age, it seemed to me, everyone began to drink much less. Yakovlev, drinking, behaved appropriately. I fell asleep quietly in my presence.

- Is “Ivanushki” a friendly team?

The relationship in the group has always been difficult. It cannot be said that Kirill and Andrei were friends with Yakovlev. Not. They were band partners, but not friends. With all that it implies.

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

He didn't look like a broken person. As he was, he remained so. A little wiser. I remember him fondly. He was a cozy person. Polite, caring, he asked more how I was doing than talked about his own. I didn't monitor my health, that's a fact.

- When did you last talk to him?

At the beginning of the year. They were with Sasha alone. They called, congratulated me on some holiday. They said they ought to see each other. I am still in debt 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. She was carried under the arms. She could no longer walk. The girl threw a blanket over her head, covered her face. Then they brought out a portrait of her late husband.
