The former guitarist who produced the notorious Lyceum band was a songwriter, architect and decorator. Makarevich Alexey Lazarevich was born in 1954, on November 13.
His father, Lazar Natanovich Meerovich, worked as an engineer at a pilot plant of a scientific institute, received several patents for inventions. Mother - biologist Makarevich Vera Grigoryevna, whose last name was later taken by Alexei.
After graduating from high school, he entered the Moscow Architectural Institute, after which he received the profession of architect.
In the seventies of the last century, Alexei Makarevich created the Danger Zone group. Subsequently, it was renamed "Kuznetsky Most". For some time he performed as part of the ensemble "Sunday".
In the early nineties, he organized the musical trio "Lyceum", where the role of the leading soloist was given to his adopted daughter Nastya.
In early 2002, Alexey participated in the "Become a Star" project, where he selected talented musical youth.
About family
With his former wife, Valeria Vernaldovna Kapralova (Gichunts), Alexei was divorced.
He had two children: one daughter, Varvara, born in 1987, was her own, and Nastya, born in 1977, was adopted.
After a divorce from Alexei, Nastya's mother married a wealthy businessman from the Republic of South Africa.
Aleksey's older sister, Elena Lazarevna Dymarskaya, has two children, Aleksey and Marina.
Producer activity
Was the musician's favorite child. In this case, he not only produced a project that turned out to be very successful. He himself created costumes for the soloists, served as a stylist. Most of the songs for the group were written by him, including the main hit of the "Lyceum" - "Autumn". He is the author of both the music and the words of this memorable composition.
In total, the group released ten music albums, such as House Arrest (1993), Cloud Engine (1996), Forty-Four Minutes (2005) and others.
For the first time the group performed in 1991 on the television "Morning Star" with a song from the ABBA repertoire. The very next year they presented their own work "Saturday Evening" in "Muzoboz". The author was Alexei Makarevich. Photos of the soloists immediately appeared in all musical youth periodicals.
In the "Musical Exam" (a television project of the early nineties), the group, following the results of 1994, was recognized as the best.
1995 brought the "Lyceum" the "Ovation" award (nomination "Discovery of the Year").
After the death of her father, Anastasia independently began to produce a pop group, somewhat changing its name.
Alexey Makarevich about the creation of the group
In one of the interviews, Alexei recalled the creation of the Lyceum in this way. During the period when he was a member of the "Sunday" team, his feeling of unfulfillment sharply intensified.
At this time, the age and development of Nastya approached the level when, with the support of her talented girlfriends, it became possible to create a youth creative team. Alexey used it as a testing ground where he could realize his imagination and creative ideas. As he confessed, mercenary intentions were also pursued.
The name embodies the idea that the young participants of the project, gradually and correctly learning, embark on a professional musical path.
At first, white (shirts) and blue (jeans) prevailed in the style of the team. This is how Alexey saw the embodiment of the musical language of the group, guitar rhythms.
The most important component in this project, as a single organism, was the song lyrics.
It was unacceptable to exploit too childish themes. White shades were supposed to give the girls' performance confidence and festivity. The presence of jeans spoke of democracy, which should be clear to any person on planet Earth. The use of guitars embodied truthfulness and so on.
According to Alexei, the most successful combination of form and content was found for that turbulent, rapidly changing time. He thus found the possibility of realizing his feelings.
The main feature of this girl group, in his words, was the presence of a certain message in the songs they performed. Members of the pop group went out to the audience not to demonstrate their beauty, but to convey something to everyone.
At fifty years old, as people say, I was left with nothing: I divorced my husband, the children grew up. Nastya performed a lot with the Lyceum group. She already lived separately, and by that time she got married and gave birth to Matvey. Varya entered the institute, she had a young man. I felt like I didn't need anyone. Desperate, I realized that life is over ...
And it all started so unclouded. Happy childhood, parents treated each other with tenderness, loved each other with their brother. I grew up surrounded by adoration. Dad just idolized me, but he never spoiled me. He was a wonderful, open, interesting person (today he is no longer alive). Dad graduated from the Institute of Foreign Trade, worked at Sovfracht and traveled a lot.
Let's start with the fact that I was born in China. She spent three years with her parents in India, lived with them in Norway and Germany. Our family has always been surrounded by very interesting people. The father was friends with Sergei Kauzov, who married the daughter of Onassis. As far as I know, Seryozha met Christina during negotiations in Brazil. After getting married, they lived in Moscow for some time, and then left for London. Having settled in London, Sergey opened his own company in Moscow, and my father became its representative. I remember one funny incident. Dad arrived from Germany on the day of my brother's marriage and immediately rushed straight from the Belorussky railway station to the registry office. Kauzov, having met his father, brought his things to our house and only then went to my brother's wedding.
- Did you communicate with Sergey and Christina?
Not with Christina. When this whole story happened, I, a young girl, was busy with my own affairs. And I talked with Kauzov. My father told me: if something happens, I can always turn to Sergei, and he will help. So, going abroad, my parents completely calmly left me, then already a student, in Moscow.
I had no problems with the choice of the institute. Deciding to continue the family dynasty, following her brother, she entered the Institute of International Relations. Then it seemed that everything in my life would turn out wonderfully. But it is not in vain that they say: fate leads a route known only to her. And I naively believed that my life path was determined ... Sergei Lavrov, the current Minister of Foreign Affairs, studied with me at the institute. His mother, a charming woman, also worked at Sovfracht, and we mostly met with Sergei during the holidays, when we visited our parents in Norway. Seryozha was a very serious young man and read a lot, and did not engage in all sorts of nonsense that we loved.
- I wonder what kind of nonsense you loved?
We fell in love endlessly, made crazy trips to the mountains, constantly came up with some kind of nonsense. And Seryozha sat with his books all this time. He is a very witty man and sometimes made sarcastic jokes about us. True, he enjoyed playing football with us, swimming and sunbathing.
At the institute, I met, as it seemed to me then, my fairy-tale prince. I dreamed that I would create a family with him, I would live happily ever after, raise children ... Sasha Kapralov, the son of Georgy Kapralov, a well-known screenwriter and film critic who worked in the editorial office of the Pravda newspaper and host of Kinopanorama, studied at the Faculty of Journalism . Charming, talented, brilliant Kapralov Jr. was two years older than me. He spoke excellent English, French and Arabic, played the guitar, sang and was the soul of any company, wherever we went with him.
After the wedding, I somehow very organically fit into their family, and Sasha's parents became close and dear people for me. After some time, our daughter was born. We named her Anastasia, which means “resurrected” in Greek. After all, after giving birth, I had a clinical death.
And then... Sasha, as an Arabist, was taken to the notorious "Shot" courses (after graduating from our institute, the guys were drafted into the army as officers). Dangling around Russia, Sasha spent a total of a year and a half on these courses. When he returned, he began working in the international department of Izvestia, flew to Libya, wrote wonderful articles. And it was then that trouble happened to him - he began to drink. At first, little by little - with friends, for the company. Then more and more often ... Problems began at work, at home. I was torn between Nastya - the child needed to be taken care of - and my husband, whom I was trying to cure. Sasha, when he realized what had happened to him, tried to stop drinking. Nothing worked. They coded it, it lasted for three months, then it broke, and everything started all over again. I decided to send Nastya to her parents, they then lived in America. My daughter came to us only for the summer.
The last years of my life with Sasha (and in total we lived with him for ten years) turned into a nightmare. The husband will be coded - everything is fine. Just relax, everything starts again. One doctor explained the situation to me: “Understand, alcoholism is a disease, not a vice. This is a vicious circle from which a person can escape only with a very strong will. Sasha didn't have the will. I felt very sorry for him, because I loved this man. She became nervous, irritable, afraid of everything. Everyone thought: now he will break again. On nervous grounds, I constantly felt sick. So I lived for several years: on one side of the scale - my beloved husband, who is seriously ill and it is impossible to cure him, on the other - my daughter, who returned from America, she was seven years old, it's time to go to school. I didn't want Nastya to see what was going on with her dad. Yes, and my strength was already running out. Then I decided to divorce. At that time I was thirty-two years old. When we were divorced, it became scary. I never thought that our family life with Sasha would end like this. I remember coming to my mother and saying: “Mommy, that's it. There will be nothing more. Now we will live - I, Nastya, a dog, and nothing will ever happen to me again in my life. Mom tried to somehow calm me down: they say, wait, everything will get better. It seemed to me that this was the end.
“It turns out Mom was right.
Absolutely. One day the phone rang, and on the other end of the wire I heard the voice of my classmate Alyosha Makarevich. We studied together with him from the eighth grade - he moved to us from another school. I was his first love. Everyone knew about it, but I didn't pay attention to it. And Lesha, it turns out, continued to love me all these years, and when he found out that I was divorced, he called and reminded me of himself. To his wish to come to visit, I immediately agreed: “Of course, come!” A classmate, after all, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, why not meet, not get worn out and not remember our youth.
Alyosha limped. The fact is that while doing a project for the next exhibition (Alyosha graduated from an architectural institute), he fell down the stairs and broke his leg. The funny thing is that at this time I was also limping and walking with a cane. After the divorce, friends advised me to change the situation, and I went to the mountains. While skydiving, she landed badly and injured her leg. That's how Alexei and I started to limp together. He came, we walked with my dog. In general, they limped, limped and limped to the point that they got married. Alyosha moved in with Nastya and me. And since we bought this apartment with Sasha Kapralov, Alyosha gave his one-room apartment to him.
Nastya had just gone to school, I was working, Alexei had episodic orders. In general, money to spare. Once we went to Izmailovo, and Nastya wanted a shish kebab (they had just begun to sell it on the streets), as I remember now, a skewer cost eight rubles. We raked out all the money, bought it, the smell was drop dead. Nastya ate, and Alyoshka and I watched. I thought that from this smell we would now fall, like People's Commissar Tsuryupa, into a hungry swoon. That's how we started. But we loved each other, life seemed long and amazing. They themselves made repairs in the apartment, re-pasted the wallpaper. I will never forget my mother's phrase: “Will you glue the wallpaper? Get divorced for sure. My dad and I tried once." Mom meant that at this moment you can easily quarrel. And we did it in three hours. I call my mother: “No problem, we are done and went for a walk with the dog.”
- You say that you lived hard, but didn’t Nastya’s dad help his daughter financially?
For some reason, Sasha decided (he told me about it himself) that his communication with Nastya could interfere with our family relations: “I don’t want to interfere in your family.” It seemed very strange to me. I never objected to Nastya's communication with her father, on the contrary, I tried in every possible way to contribute to this. But Sasha disappeared. No money, no participation. In the first year, I still received some ridiculous alimony (in Izvestia they paid well), and then I refused them. For what? If the father does not want to communicate with the child, then this is not necessary either. Grandma and grandpa didn't show up either.
A year later, Varya and I were born with Alexei. I quit my job to take care of the kids. I am sure that many talents lie dormant in each of us, we just do not know which ones. So I decided: I will involve children in a variety of activities, and then what is inherent in them will definitely manifest itself. We went to figure skating, sang, painted - in a word, we didn’t do anything. Nastya began to sing at the age of three. She didn't talk, she sang. She went out into the street and arranged concerts near the entrance. Moreover, she announced herself very funny: "People's Artist of the whole world." When it became clear that Nastya should be sent to a music school, I thought about choosing some kind of calm instrument so that it would not be heard from behind the closed door. Salon-shop "Optim-Yug" offers a rich assortment of interior doors at http://optim-yug.ru/ And for some reason I settled on a classical guitar. True, the piano appeared the following year, and when the Lyceum group was born, electric guitars were used ...
The first ten years of our life together with Alyosha were exactly as I dreamed: a family, children - beautiful, smart, talented, a husband whom I loved and who loved me, everyone took care of each other. Nothing marred our relationship. Maybe at first there was not enough money, but this is not the worst thing. And then, when you don’t think about it much, money always appears.
- And then the Lyceum group was created?
The fact is that Nastya grew up as a charming child, but at the same time a terrible tomboy, completely restless. All the time I tried to find something for her so that my daughter could throw out her frenzied energy somewhere. Nastya went to Yuri Sherling's studio, sang jazz, danced, attended a children's musical theater. When she was thirteen, Alyosha realized that something could come of Nastya. He is a musician and before our marriage he played in the cult group "Sunday", which, by the way, competed with the group "Time Machine". There was always music in our house. And Alyosha, without hesitation, decided to assemble a group. I took two more girls from the children's musical theater, and it turned out "Lyceum". The first rehearsals were held at home. I remember, in order not to disturb the girls, I took little Varya, the dog, and we went for a walk for several hours. The cover for the first disc was also filmed in our apartment. Most of all, in my opinion, Mura's cat suffered from this - for filming, she, poor, was dried for several hours with a hairdryer.
- Didn't the neighbors go crazy with rehearsals?
You know, we have a wonderful house. Ira Allegrova lived on the ground floor, she was just starting to work with the Electroclub group and rehearsed from morning to night in the room under our bedroom with Alyosha. You will not believe, but from Irina's rehearsals the bed was shaking. So the neighbors are people accustomed to everything. I remember one funny incident: when Ira became popular, her fans painted all the walls of the first floor with declarations of love. We rubbed it all together. Then they made repairs at the entrance, and ... then the popularity fell on the Lyceum group. And now everyone was scrubbing the walls of our floor together.
- Aren't you afraid to give your own child to be torn to pieces by a monster called "stage"?
How did I know that this was serious and for a long time? I didn't even think about it. After all, when it all started, Nastya was still at school. Together with the girls, we came up with costumes for them, I took out my rags, and the neighbors cut, sewed ... Their first television shooting was in the Morning Star program. They took the stage and sang a song in English from the repertoire of the ABBA group.
