On Thursday, June 29, the media named the probable cause of death former soloist group " Ivanushki International» Oleg Yakovlev.

A competent source shared with journalists sensational information about the former soloist of the Ivanushki group Oleg Yakovlev, who died on June 29. The informant stated that the performer had AIDS.

Earlier, informed reporters called cardiac arrest the cause of death of the 47-year-old artist. There is another version. Oleg's cohabitant Alexandra Kutsevol told the sharks of the pen that Yakovlev died due to an advanced stage of pneumonia.

And suddenly there was a sensational news in the media. According to the EG.RU website, ex-participant Russian group Ivanushki International allegedly had AIDS. This publication was informed by a competent source. According to him, Oleg Yakovlev's heart problems were the result of immunodeficiency.

There is a third version about alcohol abuse. The Life.ru website found out that the performer had problems with the liver. Like, the singer died as a result of pulmonary edema, and complications arose against the background of cirrhosis.

Note that Yakovlev had health problems for a long time. According to the artist's beloved, the other day his health deteriorated sharply, after which he was urgently hospitalized. Oleg was placed in intensive care with bilateral pneumonia, the doctors connected him to an artificial respiration apparatus.

Early in the morning of June 29, the singer died in intensive care without regaining consciousness. According to Kutsevol, Yakovlev might have been saved if he had been hospitalized earlier. It’s just that the artist did not take the disease seriously and preferred to be treated at home.

“The cause of death was bilateral pneumonia, so all this time he was connected to the apparatus. During this time, he never even regained consciousness. There was an advanced stage, he was treated at home himself. Before we did not call an ambulance, you know, cough and cough. Everything happened too quickly, none of us had time to come to our senses,” said the artist’s inconsolable lover.

- Alexandra, for recent times different things were said about Oleg. Which of the above is true, only you can clarify. Let's start with the history of your acquaintance. Were you a fan of Oleg?

I lived in Nefteyugansk, worked as a journalist on a local TV channel. Of course, I knew about the existence of the Ivanushki group. I was 15-16 years old when their songs sounded from every kettle. Naturally, I went to concerts.

As a journalist, I was quite popular in the city. But in life she remained a black sheep. Like Oleg. Maybe that's why we got along with him?

I come from an ordinary family: my father is a driver, my mother is a salesman. And in life she achieved everything herself. There were no influential acquaintances, no connections.

I graduated from the Faculty of Journalism in St. Petersburg. I'm a perfectionist - either hit or miss. No middle ground. In general, she studied by correspondence, continued to work on television. I interviewed the stars of show business.

The first meeting with Ivanushki took place in 2001. Oleg was just nice to me, like all the guys from the group. But for this meeting to be the beginning of beginnings, this did not happen. We met a little closer in St. Petersburg, where their big concert took place. I got a ticket to the party to see everything from the inside. I was interested to know the backstage "kitchen" of the artists. And that's when Oleg and I exchanged phone numbers.

- Only with Oleg?

Only with him. Oleg and I immediately coincided on some energy level. This is when you look at a person and you understand - he is. Although I guessed that Oleg was complex and closed. His colleagues told me in chorus: "It is useless to count on relations with Yakovlev."

- Outwardly, he gave the impression of a very light person ...

This is a deceptive impression. Oleg did not let anyone into his heart. I don't know what a person had to do to get through to him. I am amazed that after his death, many people began to say that they knew him well, distribute comments, write their memoirs on social networks. How can they? Oleg's relatives could be counted on a finger. You have never even heard their names. They are not public people. Among the stars of show business, Oleg had no friends. He was friends with many, but nothing more.

- Oleg did not suffer from the fact that he fell out of show business?

Didn't suffer. Oleg avoided noisy parties, he was comfortable alone with himself. I am the same. I have been on my own since childhood. When at the age of 15 everyone was hanging out on the porches and lit up at parties, I watched Walt Disney cartoons, loved to spend time alone, did not need company. In this respect, we agree with him.

We were both born in the year of the Rooster, he is Scorpio, I am Virgo. And all Oleg's close friends are also according to the Virgo horoscope. This is probably the only zodiac sign that can get along with a Scorpio...

After graduation, I moved to Moscow. I got a job on a music channel. We began to cross paths with Oleg more often on the set, talked more, I came to visit him. Thus, a friendship was born between us, which gradually grew into something more.


"Complexed because of appearance"

- Yakovlev, after all, also came from another city to the capital. Did you live alone in Moscow?

Oleg came to Moscow alone. His mother stayed in Irkutsk. In the capital, he entered all possible theater schools. He was wondering if the competition would pass, because he was very complex because of his Asian appearance. As a result, he entered all the universities where he applied.

- Did you know his mother?

His mother has been gone for a long time. In my opinion, she never caught the moment when Oleg came to Ivanushki. Why she was gone, he never told. He spoke little about his family. He did not know his father, he was a late child.

Oleg did everything himself from childhood. He told how in his youth he worked as a janitor, dragging cast-iron bathtubs. And he was not ashamed, he was not ashamed of his past, on the contrary, he was proud. And respect the people who work.

I remember we were standing at a traffic light, a boy ran up and started wiping the windows of the car. Oleg shed a tear: “How I respect such people. The guy works, but didn’t go to steal, beg.” He respected representatives of any profession. When he came to a restaurant, he always greeted the waiters.

I learned this from him. Oleg never asked anyone for a penny in his entire life. Many artists do not hesitate to be popular, they live at the expense of businessmen, oligarchs. Oleg is not from this opera.

He never allowed himself to be paid for, even when he came to business meetings. In restaurants, he always "struggled" to pay the bill himself, whatever financial position neither was at the moment.

Oleg was a generous person. For example, one day he accidentally found out that one of his acquaintances dreamed of a smartphone, but could not afford to buy it. Oleg went and bought it for him. And it was not his close friend.

And when Oleg was given gifts, he put some aside: “Let's give the present to another person, he needs it more.” Therefore, all these questions - why we did not ask anyone for help - are not his story. Oleg would not ask, even if he needed.


None of those who undertook to comment on the death of Oleg Yakovlev said that he was a scoundrel, a scoundrel. Everyone discussed his lifestyle, claimed that the artist was ruined by alcohol. In particular, Kirill's wife from "Ivanushki" Lola spoke about this.

Lola has not communicated with Oleg for the last five years. She is last time I saw him a few years ago at Kirill's birthday party. And at funerals. Why does she make such statements? I'm sorry, but this is weird to me.

- There was a talk show dedicated to Oleg. At the program, many of those present also spoke about the musician's alcoholism...

I was told about it. I basically decided not to watch the program. I would destroy her if possible. On the day of Oleg's death, journalists called me and invited me to broadcast. Do you understand how I felt at that moment?

I wonder why people don't say good things about Yakovlev. After all, he didn’t do anything bad to anyone, he didn’t offend anyone, he didn’t insult anyone. With everyone before last day maintained friendly relations. He easily agreed to interviews with journalists, he always showered his interlocutor with compliments, treated him to coffee - and suddenly, after his death, they treated him like that. For me it inexplicable story. I sincerely don't understand.

- There was even a version that Oleg had AIDS.

And later there was a version that he had oncology. And people claimed it.

That is why I decided to tell you how it really happened. Many condemn me, they think that I have no right to give interviews, but should sit and suffer. I'm not going to prove anything to anyone, but at some point I realized that if I don't speak up, I won't stop the flow of dirt.

People must know the truth. And do not believe what it is not clear who said. The same Yuri Loza allowed himself to comment on the death of Oleg. Even though they didn't even know each other. Oleg does not have his name in his notebook. For me, it's over the edge. And I needed to speak up. Although after such interviews, it only gets worse for me.


“The fact that Oleg will be taken into a medically induced coma was not reported to us”

- Oleg really felt bad lately?

If he had been seriously ill, then in mid-June he would not have worked a concert. But he didn't cough for a long time. Oleg was treated as best he could: he drank tea with lemon and honey, swallowed pills.

Oleg always made his own decisions. Pressing him was useless. I couldn't get him to go to the hospital. He always said: "I'll figure it out myself, this is my life, my health."

Only when complications began, it became difficult for him to breathe, he took an x-ray. And then he agreed to go to the hospital.

As for the fact of death, the doctors stated heart failure. Oleg did not die from some kind of illness, what happened in his body was fixable, curable, everything could be restored.

It so happened that he started coughing. After all, he did not lie at home, was not treated, but continued to perform. When they told him about the transfer to the intensive care unit, he was horrified: “Let me go home.” He could not bear the state of helplessness.

When Oleg was transported to intensive care, he went into shock. Like this? He asked: “So what? Will my phone and computer be taken away from me? How will I watch the news? And you can't smoke?" He was not interested in what happened to him, but was afraid that he would be left without communication. Such childish immediacy. He was a little childish throughout his life. Many were surprised that he hit 47. He could have been given 20 with a ponytail.

- Oleg until the last did not understand that things were bad?

Nobody understood. We had no doubt that he would get better.

- When did he fall into a coma?

Oleg was in intensive care for several days. Who didn't he fall into? He was put into medicated sleep. His blood pressure began to go off scale, his heart rhythm was disturbed against the background of general malaise. We were not warned about this. The doctors made their own decisions. I learned about it from journalists. But I didn't believe it was the end.

When we met with the doctor, I asked: “Does it happen that a person gets out?” In response, I heard: “It happens, one percent out of a hundred.” I was delighted: "This is our percentage." I believed that now Oleg would have a little rest, his heart would be treated, we would finish the course of treatment and everything would be all right. Moreover, Oleg and I discussed shortly before this the schedule of concerts, photo shoots. Doctors were still surprised: “Where are you in such a hurry? Let the man rest."


- Did Oleg talk to you before he was put into drug-induced sleep?

He didn't have a phone in intensive care. He got worse at night. The doctors didn't tell anyone.

- That is, nothing foreshadowed a tragic end?

Nothing. Oleg was going to rest, made plans for the summer. He planned the release of a new song, he thought about making a film, he wrote the script. He was invited to voice cartoons. We proposed to one TV channel a draft of an author's program about travel. The plans were full.

On the eve of his death, Oleg's condition improved, his indicators returned to normal. As we were later explained, this often happens before death. I was happy then, I told the doctors: “You see, everything will be fine.”

And yet, while he was in the hospital, I went to churches every day and prayed. Sati Casanova wanted to help me get to the relics of Nicholas the Wonderworker. I planned in coming days. But Oleg was gone.

I didn’t have a tantrum, they say, I don’t believe this can’t be. I immediately accepted the fact of his departure. We lived together for five years, we have known each other for about 20 years. Oleg always wanted me to be strong, like him. And I did it.

I've never buried anyone in my life. As a child, my parents protected me from the funeral, did not drag me to the cemetery, for which I thank them very much. And I never thought that the first person I would see off would be Oleg.

Were there any bad feelings?

My heart was calm.


How did you find out about his death?

The head of the department called me exactly 5 minutes after Oleg's heart stopped. At 7.10 am Oleg was gone.

I thought it was the journalists calling. That day I woke up early, going to the monastery. I picked up the phone and heard that Oleg was no more. I was alone at home. I had no one to fall on my chest, no one to call.

“He directly said: cremate me”

- Oleg was cremated. Was it his request?

We have repeatedly talked with Oleg about this. We discussed in between. We generally calmly talked about death. Oleg was so wise that he did not consider this topic taboo. Once he said bluntly: "If I die, cremate me."

- But you were persuaded to bury him?

They wrote messages to me: they say, don’t even think about cremating. I didn't even read it. I know what Oleg wanted, and it doesn't matter to me what others want. We are not wild people we live in the 21st century. This body, it is mortal, what does it matter how it will disappear? This is Oleg's choice. It is not worth judging or advising. Oleg was buried, and the priest was not against cremation.

- It seemed to me that very few people from the world of show business gathered at parting.

Oleg was not in the party. He attended events exclusively for work. Otherwise, I wouldn't go to parties at all. But he needed to glow, so he stepped over himself.

Oleg did not know how to fawn, he did not succeed. If he didn’t like a person, he couldn’t rush to him with hugs and kisses, and hiss “bastard” behind his back through his teeth. Therefore, he was not friends with the artists, he maintained partnerships with everyone.

Everything happened quickly. We did not delay, we decided to do everything, as expected, on the third day. I didn’t want to make a pompous story out of a tragedy, notify the whole country and wait for everyone to buy tickets for the funeral.

But Igor Matvienko came, which is important. At the ceremony, he said: “It feels like this is another presentation of Oleg. It seems that he will now come around the corner and say to everyone: "Hello."

I didn't feel goodbye either. Oleg always left in English. The concert ended, he went into the dressing room, a few minutes - and Oleg's trace caught a cold. He left now in English, without saying anything to anyone. I didn't get to say goodbye to anyone. He doesn't even seem to understand what happened.

I am often asked what last words Oleg said. There was no such thing.

The last time we talked with him on the topic of concerts, said goodbye, said to each other "see you tomorrow." No "goodbye, sorry, I want to say this and that." Oleg before last lived and passionate about work. He also did not want to grow old, and fantasized about this: “If I grow old, I would like to be like Takeshi Kitano, just as beautiful.”

- He looked pretty good.

He didn't even have wrinkles. Oleg was indignant: “I am a grown man, I will soon have fifty dollars, and everyone calls me Olezhek.” By the way, I have it in my phone - Olezhek. Red has too.

Yes. he could cook any dish out of nothing. He could hammer a nail, screw in a light bulb, saw something off, nail it down. Only with technology was on "you". For a long time I could not understand what social networks are and why they are needed. It was from another test.

And Oleg was educated, well-read. He blamed me: “How can you not know this actress? Have you read this author?

- Why didn't you get married?

There was no such task. Oleg and I are two urban lunatics. The history of our relations is not standard. When they ask me how many years we have been together, I can’t even remember, there is no point of reference. I can’t say that on a particular day that same meeting took place, it was the same date on which he confessed his love to me ...

We had an independent relationship. We have always said: if a person is good, then just fine. And the stamp in the passport is a relic of the past. Probably, if we had children, we would formalize the relationship.

Why didn't they have children?

Children come into this world to teach their parents something. I am convinced of this. Maybe Oleg and I had nothing to teach, we all knew.

“Suffocated in the Ivanushki group

- According to rumors, after leaving Ivanushki, Oleg was depressed. This is true?

Not this way. Oleg is a creative person, last years he was suffocating in the group and it was noticeable.

The parents of the former soloist of the group Igor Sorin say that Yakovlev had a hard time - he was forced to sing to the soundtrack of their son for a long time.

Apparently, Sorin's parents go crazy because of the loss of their son - this is normal. His mother really thinks that Oleg sang to the soundtrack of Igor. She did not even realize that when the song “Doll” was recorded, Sorin had already flatly refused to sing for the group. And Oleg replaced him. Matvienko, when he first heard Oleg's voice, did not believe his ears: "Yes, this is Sorin." At the funeral, Ryzhiy said: "Thank you, Oleg, for saving the group."

- And why did Yakovlev leave the group?

In a group long years everything went smoothly, and Oleg got bored, he wanted development. Andrey and Kirill had enough of such a role, and they got high, and Oleg needed variety, he wanted to be realized. He started writing songs two years before leaving the band. Naturally, at first it was difficult, Oleg and I were left alone and were left to our own devices. But we all succeeded. We shot video clips, wrote songs, arranged presentations, organized concerts. .

- But did Oleg lose money?

He began to earn more than when he was in Ivanushki. I was happy and proud of it. And for Oleg, the opinion of Igor Matvienko has always been important. After all, he always sent his songs to the producer and rejoiced when he answered. He showed me messages from Matvienko and was happy like a child: “Igor answered me that it was a cool song.”

On the 20th anniversary of the group, Igor personally invited Oleg and asked him to perform his own song. So all these years without "Ivanushki" Oleg was happy. He got what he wanted out of life. The love that he gave to people returned to him. Even in the hospital, Oleg managed to charm the entire department. When the misfortune happened, all the doctors cried.

- And yet he never thought about returning to the group?

When Oleg was just leaving, Matvienko said: “Let's see how it will be without Oleg. Suddenly he wants to come back. I remember how Oleg resisted this moment. And when later it was said that people wanted to see the original composition of Ivanushki at concerts, Oleg was indignant: “Why do I need this? What are you? I'm an independent artist." He's changed a lot since leaving the band. Fears are gone, he has become more confident. I believe that Oleg flourished when he left the team.

Did you miss the touring life?

He's had enough touring. Only now Oleg belonged to himself. He didn't have to conform to anyone. And he enjoyed being in charge of his own time. For the last four years he has lived as he wished.

- Do you now live in the same apartment where you were with Oleg?

Yes. It’s hard to be there alone, so my friends are always with me. But I don't let anyone into the room where Oleg liked to spend time alone. I myself go there every morning and talk with Oleg, as if he were alive.

Did he leave a will?

I don't want to bring this topic up. It will take six months, and everything will be clear. I never thought about such things, material history is not important to me. I consider myself happy only because I could feel true love from which I was afraid to suffocate. I always thought, why do people lose passion over time, but I only grow?

Oleg was very fond of peonies. And I always gave him these flowers. Girls aren't supposed to give flowers to boys, but I loved a man so much that I didn't have any rules. When he was sick, I also bought a bouquet.

People are afraid of their emotions, and then they regret all their lives that they didn’t do something, didn’t finish something. I do not regret anything. I expressed my love to Oleg until the last day.

- And he?

Of course. Only he was more stingy with words, compliments. His actions spoke volumes. To protect me, he could go for broke, or ruin relations with employers, so as not to offend loved one. It consisted of actions.

Now they calm me down: time will pass, the pain will subside, and you will meet another. I don't believe. Oleg was the love of my life. I know that nothing is over. Our meeting will definitely take place. He just completed his mission early.

Oleg Yakovlev died today, June 29, early in the morning in one of the capital's clinics. As Life.ru competently reports, the performer had liver problems (supposedly cirrhosis) and was in intensive care for several days. civil wife artist Alexander Kutsevol told why Oleg Yakovlev died.

“The cause of death was bilateral pneumonia, so all this time he was connected to the apparatus. During this time, he never even regained consciousness. There was an advanced stage, he was treated at home himself. Before we did not call an ambulance, you know, cough and cough. Everything happened too quickly, none of us had time to come to our senses,” said the artist’s inconsolable lover.

Meanwhile, Life.ru provides somewhat different information. According to the publication, the 47-year-old singer died as a result of pulmonary edema. Complications arose on the background of cirrhosis of the liver.

Earlier, Yakovlev spoke about his health former colleague in the group "Ivanushki International" Kirill Andreev. “We shot a new video together and recorded a song, and I didn’t know that he had any problems. But I always told him jokingly:“ Oleg, smoke less cigarettes. ”I was always ready to support him in terms of a healthy lifestyle. More a month and a half ago, he was full of energy,” said the performer.

Journalists learned about the death of Oleg Yakovlev thanks to a message from Alexandra Kutsevol, which she left a sad message on her official page in social network Instagram. “Today at 7:05 am, the main Man of my life, my Angel, my Happiness, was gone .... How am I now without you? .. Fly, Oleg! wife.

Oleg Yakovlev joined the famous Ivanushki International trio in 1998 after the death of Igor Sorin. He left the team in 2013, but, according to him, he never regretted his decision. “For the first time in my life I felt like such a value. I stopped dividing life into three parts. It’s so great and interesting! My eyes are burning,” the artist admitted.

Earlier, informed reporters called cardiac arrest the cause of death of the 47-year-old artist. There is another version. Oleg's cohabitant Alexandra Kutsevol told the sharks of the pen that Yakovlev died due to an advanced stage of pneumonia.
