Oleg Yakovlev, former soloist of the Ivanushki International group, died in a Moscow hospital. The artist was 47 years old. A few days ago he was admitted to the clinic with bilateral pneumonia. The star was in intensive care in critical condition. The day before, the man was connected to a ventilator. The tragic news of the death of the singer was announced by his fiancee Alexandra Kutsevol.
“He died in intensive care. Last night we went to see him, and in the morning, at 7 am, I got a call from the hospital. Doctors reported that the lungs failed. While the exact cause of death they do not name. Maybe it was the heart. We will definitely organize a farewell to Oleg for his friends and fans. So far, we don’t understand anything, ”Alexandra shared with StarHit.
In addition, the common-law wife of Yakovlev left a post on a social network in which she touchingly said goodbye to her lover.
“Today at 7:05 the main man of my life, my angel, my happiness, was gone. How am I now without you? Fly, Oleg! I am always with you,” Sasha wrote on her personal page on Instagram.
As Kutsevol explained, Oleg was treated at home for a long time, since his cough did not go away. The artist did not think that he was seriously ill. According to Alexandra, everything happened suddenly. In addition, according to a number of publications, the star was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. Doctors later determined that the cause of death was pulmonary edema. Friends and fans cannot believe what happened and leave words of condolences to the artist's relatives.
StarHit contacted Oleg's former colleague in the Ivanushki International team, Kirill Andreev. The artist said that he learned the tragic news at seven in the morning, when he was in the service in the temple.
“Olezhka was gone today at seven in the morning. I contacted Sasha, she told me. I saw him for the last time a month and a half ago, it was a very warm meeting. We discussed his new song and video. The news that he was in intensive care for about a week was a real shock for me. We had 15 years of life together on tour. A family member has died. Our big, creative family,” Kirill told StarHit.
Later, Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov left a condolence post on a social network. Oleg Yakovlev has died. My Yasha ... Our “little” Olezhka ... Fly, bullfinch, your voice and songs are in our hearts forever, ”wrote Yakovlev’s colleague.
Some relatives and friends of Oleg believe that the artist’s bad habits became the cause of the deterioration in health. Yakovlev has been smoking since the age of 20, and lately he has been visiting doctors more and more often.
As it became known, the artist is cremated. Alexandra promised to inform about the date of farewell separately.
“We will not forget you, Olezhka. Kind and bright, everything is so fast and so little,” wrote Ksenia Novikova.
In March 1998, fans of the Ivanushki International group learned that Igor Sorin had left the band. Oleg Yakovlev, who was then unknown to anyone, took his place. The biography of the young soloist at that time included only acting merits. Young fans took hostility to the appearance of a new artist, and after the tragic death of his predecessor, they gave the singer a real persecution.
Life before "Ivanushki"
Oleg was born into an international family. Mother was a Buryat and adhered to the Buddhist faith. Father is Uzbek and Muslim. The guy chose his path in religion and professed Orthodoxy. He began to sing as a child and was a soloist in the choir until graduation. He entered the Irkutsk Theater School, where he studied the art of puppet theater. After graduation, he decided to move to Moscow.
Theater
In the capital, he entered GITIS and studied acting for several years. He was lucky to get into the workshop of Lyudmila Kasatkina, and after graduating from the institute, the guy got a place in the theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. He considered his director and mentor a close person and until the end of his life he called him "the second father." In three roles in successful performances.
"Ivanushki"
The unprecedented success of the boy group brought Igor Sorin the love of millions of girls and girls across the country. But popularity has a downside - the guy is tired of endless tours and tours. He wanted a solo career and performing songs that he liked. He leaves the group at the beginning of 1998, making room for a new soloist.
First difficulties
Oleg had to experience all the hatred of Igor's fans. He was called a "cheap fake" and booed when he appeared on stage. It was incredibly difficult to sing in such an environment and look happy. Kirov fans did not let the guy sing a single song. During his performance, they shouted and demanded that he get off the stage. This seemed not enough to them, and after the concert they beat the guy, attacking the whole crowd. He was insulted on a national basis and ignored the concerts of the group, urging Matvienko to remove the “incomprehensible” boy from the composition.
But the hardest test was yet to come. Six months later, Sorin dies under unclear circumstances, and a wave of hatred literally covers Yakovlev. Fans do not want to admit that Igor himself left the group and went into free swimming. There are rumors that he was kicked out and committed suicide, unable to survive this fact. This was the most difficult period in the biography of Oleg Yakovlev. Now artists take “haters” for granted and pay little attention to them. But at the end of the last century, such a phenomenon was new, and not everyone managed to survive the aggression of the fans.
Time cures
A year has passed since the death of Igor, and gradually the noise subsided. Either the fans have matured, or they were finally able to consider Oleg's talent, but the persecution has stopped. The group again traveled around the country and in the same Kirov received Yakovlev with loud applause and the Guy was able to open up in the team and performed several new solo songs. A strong young voice was able to win the hearts of young girls, and the soloist was recognized as a full-fledged member of Ivanushki. He has his own fan base. Although not as big as Sorin's, they were faithful and devoted to their idol.
From that moment on, the biography of the new soloist of "Ivanushki" Oleg Yakovlev begins to replenish with new facts. Songs are regularly released that become hits. In 2001, Alla Pugacheva invites him to shoot a new video. According to the plot, he plays the beloved of Renata Litvinova and is going through their difficult parting. The prima donna herself saw real charisma and acting talent in this thin young man.
The other side of fame
Life behind the stage and in the recording studio was also in full swing. Hard times begin in the biography of Ivanushki and Oleg Yakovlev. Together with Andrei and Cyril, he rested after the concerts. Alcohol helped relieve stress. In large quantities. Friends slowly but surely ruined health. And if the first two were stopped by their wives, then no one prevented the free Oleg from drinking at any time. Yes, many artists suffer from alcoholism, and sometimes they have to be treated for a long time after such entertainment. Increasingly, Yakovlev begins to indulge in all serious, and this leads to disruptions in rehearsals and the recording of new songs. He no longer keeps to the schedule, and Matviyenko threatens him several times with dismissal. Calm and intelligent Oleg understands that his behavior harms all members of the team, but he can no longer stop.
At this point, he begins to understand Sorin. It is simply impossible to live in such a rhythm and not be able to relax with the help of alcohol. But if Igor sought solace in a sect, then Oleg found him in love. The years of loneliness ended with the advent of Alexandra in his life. The journalist did not hide that she was a longtime fan of the Ivanushki group and specifically their soloist Oleg Yakovlev. The biography of the girl did not contain anything remarkable at that time.
Family life
During this period, friends and relatives note the emotional and spiritual upsurge of the guy. He began to look noticeably better and completely surrendered to creativity. He returned to his favorite business - writing poetry. It would seem that life has finally improved and now it remains only to wait for the addition to the family. But the couple was in no hurry to formalize the relationship. Together they attended all the events, and colleagues rejoiced at the return of the artist to a full life.
Like a bolt from the blue
The common-law wife loved Oleg and was able to instill confidence in him. In 2012, he announced his departure from the group. They did not hold him back, because Matvienko had already suffered enough in recent years from an unstable singer. However, no one believed in his success outside the team. In the biography of Oleg Yakovlev, "Ivanushki" occupied a central place, but he considered that it was time to leave the boy band. In 2013, he officially ends his work with the producer and leaves the lineup.
Solo career
The first song called "Dance with Closed Eyes" was a success with the audience, but did not become a hit. The video for this composition turned out to be very beautiful, and it was often aired on music channels. In the wake of the first success, the soloist is recording several more new songs. But all subsequent compositions do not find a response in the hearts of listeners. "Dance" remained the only solo song in the biography of Oleg Yakovlev, which was accepted by the people.
Disease
Having lost his place in the group and left without recognition, the singer returns to old habits again. This time, alcohol enslaved the artist so much that in a couple of years he greatly spoiled his health. Several times he ended up in a hospital bed, and even the woman he loved could not influence the situation. For a couple of years, Oleg has aged a lot, and all his friends noted his depressed state. He was no longer invited to concerts, and this finally finished off the talented performer.
Death
On June 29, 2017, the first reports appeared on the Internet that Oleg Yakovlev had passed away. The biography of "little white Ivanushka" was completed by fate itself. The body could not cope with the abundance of alcohol, and the artist developed bilateral pneumonia. The disease itself could be successfully cured, but coupled with cirrhosis of the liver, this led to the death of the singer. In the last filming, it was noticeable that the man had yellow whites of his eyes. Immediately there were rumors that the singer had AIDS and it was he who caused pneumonia, which became the official cause of Oleg Yakovlev's death. The biography of the performer did not include drugs or promiscuity, and this version was quickly refuted. The funeral was quiet, and close and dear people came to say goodbye to the artist. Former colleagues in the workshop honored the memory of the singer and said many good words about him. According to the will, Oleg's body was cremated and buried 40 days later at the Troekurovsky cemetery.
Today it became known about the death of a former member of the group Oleg Yakovlev
His predecessor, Igor Sorin, also died early.
Igor Sorin
Since childhood, the singer has been interested in publicity and creativity. As a boy, Igor got the role of Tom Sawyer in the film adaptation of the work of Mark Twain. However, director Stanislav Govorukhin had to change his mind and shoot Fedya Stukov as the main character in the film. Sorin took the rejection to heart and even tried to jump out of the window. Fortunately, the guy fell only from the second floor and did not receive serious injuries. Later, Igor entered Gnesinka, but dropped out for the sake of what he thought was a high-profile project - touring with the musical Metro. Abroad, the production failed, and Sorin, unable to "catch" in New York, returned to Moscow.
It was "Ivanushki International" that became the next stage in the guy's creative life - though not immediately successful. After rare performances in casinos and graduations, producer Igor Matvienko wanted to disband the soloists of the group - Igor Sorin, Andrey Grigoriev-Apollonov and Kirill Andreev. But he gave his offspring another chance by filming a video for the song "Clouds". And he did not lose - after the video, wild popularity fell upon the guys.

For only three years, Igor Sorin enjoyed fame as part of a team - in 1998, the singer decided to pursue a solo career. As Kirill Andreev recalls, friends dissuaded a colleague for a long time, but to no avail. “I'm tired of singing the same thing every day,” Sorin said.
In 1998, Igor left - not only from the musical group, but also from life. The 28-year-old young man died while recording his own record. On September 1, Sorin and colleagues worked in a studio located on the sixth floor of the house. The artist decided to take a break and smoke, after which he never returned to his fellow musicians. The singer fell out of the window, as a result of which he received multiple injuries: fractures of the cervical vertebrae, bruised kidneys, and paralysis of the limbs. Doctors fought for the life of the artist, but Igor did not endure the operation - his heart stopped.
Photo by Vladimir VELENGURIN/Komsomolskaya Pravda The official version of the investigation is prolonged depression and suicide. As confirmation, a suicide note was found on the balcony of the studio: “To my relatives. Mom. Papa. Sashenka. ALL. But like a crown of poetry, a chick is born into the world. FLY." However, relatives do not believe in suicide: Sorin loved life too much to part with it in an instant. And most importantly, according to the mother, there were no bruises and abrasions on the body of the deceased. Therefore, another option was born - murder. Allegedly, the guy's neck was twisted, and in order to cover his tracks, they carried him out into the street, arranging the incident as a fall from a window.
In 1999, the album "Fragments from Life" was released in memory of Igor Sorin, which included the songs and poems of the young man. The Ivanushki International team continued its creative activity in a different line-up: Oleg Yakovlev replaced Igor in the group.
Oleg Yakovlev
Behind Oleg, studying at a music school in the piano class, students at the theater school of Irkutsk and GITIS, service in the theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. In the capital, Oleg earned as much as he could: he got a job on the radio, recorded advertisements and even cleaned the streets. Collaboration with "Ivanushki International" began as an actor, starring in the video "Doll", and then became the soloist of the group - by a lucky chance, as Grigoriev-Apollonov and Andreev recall.
“Poplar fluff”, “Beznadega.ru”, “A drop of light”, “Ticket to the cinema” - Yakovlev performed these and other hits as part of Ivanushki for almost 15 years. In 2012, after the success of the song "Dance with Closed Eyes", Oleg thought about his own career, which he did in 2013, going on a solo voyage. “You know, I’m probably more worried about Ivanushki than for myself. I'm absolutely not afraid. I'm confident. I have a wonderful material that any artist would envy. I think that there will be no obstacles on my solo creative path, ”the artist confessed in an interview.
Photo by Boris KUDRYAVOV / website Yakovlev did not abandon his career and was engaged in his own project until his death - so, this year he presented the song "Jeans". The man maintained relations with former colleagues, and none of them noticed anything unusual in Oleg's condition and behavior. “We shot a new video together and recorded a song, and I didn’t know that he had any problems. But he always jokingly told him: "Oleg, smoke less cigarettes." I was always ready to support him in terms of healthy lifestyle. A month and a half ago, he was full of energy. And yesterday I found out that he had been in intensive care for a week, ”recalls Kirill Andreev.
Because the death of the artist was a shock to the environment. A few days ago, Oleg was urgently hospitalized in one of the capital's clinics with bilateral pneumonia. Yakovlev also suffered from cirrhosis of the liver - the disease gave complications. The singer was transferred to intensive care and connected to a ventilator. It was not possible to save the artist's life: on June 29 at 7 in the morning he died without regaining consciousness. As Alexandra Kutsevol, Oleg's beloved, said, her chosen one fell ill some time before hospitalization, but preferred to be treated at home on his own: “There was an advanced stage, he was treated at home himself. We didn't call an ambulance before, you know, cough and cough. It all happened too fast, none of us had time to come to our senses.”
Oleg Yakovlev will be cremated, the date and place of farewell will be known later.
Oleg Yakovlev passed away at the end of June this year. He died in the intensive care unit of a Moscow clinic without regaining consciousness. Due to neglected and complicated, bilateral pneumonia, the artist, who by that time could not breathe on his own, was connected to an artificial respiration apparatus, the doctors fought for his life, but in vain.
The death of a talented singer, former soloist of the Ivanushki International group was announced by his civil wife, Alexander Kutsevol.
Colleagues, acquaintances, friends and relatives of the singer - many of them did not know that Oleg had been ill recently - he never complained about problems, solved them silently, himself, and therefore no one could help him with advice.
Almost no one, except for his close circle, suspected that Yakovlev's state of health had deteriorated so much. The singer's fans who were at his last concerts noted the artist's painful pallor and lethargy, but he worked out his part of the show to the end and did not refuse people selfies and autographs after. Therefore, talk about his illness quickly subsided - it did not seem serious to anyone. Only on June 28, the media stunned everyone with the news about the urgent hospitalization of the performer, and subsequently about his sudden death. The artist was incomplete 48 years old.
“He died in intensive care. Last night we went to see him, and in the morning, at 7 am, I got a call from the hospital. Doctors reported that the lungs failed. While the exact cause of death they do not name. Maybe it was the heart. We will definitely organize a farewell to Oleg for his friends and fans. So far, we do not understand anything, ”Alexandra Kutsevol told the media that day.
Later, the singer's lover explained that Oleg had been suffering from a cough for a long time, which he did not want to pass. But the artist denied going to the doctor, counting. that can heal itself. Oleg believed that there was nothing serious in his illness - a normal cough. And then there was a sudden complication and hospitalization was already required. It also turned out that the artist had cirrhosis of the liver, which also contributed to the weakening of Oleg Yakovlev's health. According to the conclusion of the doctors, Oleg died of pulmonary edema.
Relatives, relatives and friends of the artist could not say goodbye to him: the singer was unconscious for the last days of his life. For some, the news of Yakovlev's hospitalization and death was completely unexpected. All that was left for those who personally knew Oleg was the words of farewell on social networks and a visit to the farewell ceremony and funeral of the artist, which took place on July 1 at the Troekurovsky cemetery. Oleg Yakovlev was cremated, the urn with his ashes was buried in the cemetery.
“Olezhka was gone today at seven in the morning. I contacted Sasha, she told me. I saw him for the last time a month and a half ago, it was a very warm meeting. We discussed his new song and video. The news that he was in intensive care for about a week was a real shock for me. We had 15 years of life together on tour. A family member has died. Our large, creative family,” said Kirill Andreev, the second member of the Ivanushki International group.
Later, Andrei Grigoriev-Appolonov left a condolence post on a social network. Oleg Yakovlev has died. My Yasha… Our “little” Olezhka… Fly, bullfinch, your voice and songs are in our hearts forever,” Yakovlev’s colleague wrote.
Some relatives and friends of Oleg believe that the artist’s bad habits became the cause of the deterioration in health. Yakovlev has been smoking since he was 20, and recently he has been visiting doctors more and more often.
Fans are discussing in social networks how it is, the ex-soloist of "Ivanushki" was only 47 years old! What caused the death of Oleg Yakovlev? Why didn't the doctors save him from "banal" pneumonia, that is, pneumonia that is successfully treated with antibiotics? And why suddenly pneumonia, now not an influenza epidemic, after which they often fall down with such a complication.
We discussed these issues with cardiologist, doctor of the highest category Tamara Ogieva:
Bilateral pneumonia may not be the primary diagnosis, but a possible consequence of some chronic disease associated with a weakened immune system, circulatory disorders.
For example, in patients with severe forms of heart failure, liver disease in the last stages, blood flow is disturbed. Because of this, the lungs, simply speaking, cannot expand fully, congestion, inflammation occur in them, fluid appears (pulmonary edema can also occur).
A weakened body cannot fight it, and antibiotics or other drugs in this case may not work, because this is no longer a functional disorder, but organic changes.
And here it is important how worn out the body is, and this, alas, does not always depend directly on age. If the initial chronic disease is already in a severe stage, the immune system cannot resist, pneumonia progresses, pulmonary edema occurs, which becomes the formal cause of death.

Possible cause of death of Oleg Yakovlev: where did the heart failure come from the ex-soloist of Ivanushki International
Now, it is probably difficult to imagine the excitement around the Ivanushki International group. In the late 90s, they were the real gods of our stage, and, in the absence of instagrams and paparazzi in those days, they were practically inaccessible, which made the forbidden fruit even sweeter. The first shock happened to the fans when in 1998 Igor Sorin left the group - he was quickly replaced by a new "little Ivanushka" - Oleg Yakovlev
