Today, the funeral of Oleg Yakovlev, the ex-soloist of the Ivanushki International group, took place. The singer died on the morning of June 29 in the intensive care unit of a Moscow clinic without regaining consciousness.
Oleg Yakovlev did not have close relatives left, therefore, the most dear person for him in the last five years was his beloved Alexandra Kutsevol. It was she who was engaged in the funeral of the artist.
Farewell to the singer took place on July 1 at the Troekurovsky cemetery. On this day, friends and admirers of Yakovlev gathered there.
The artist was cremated - that was his desire. However, the ashes of Oleg Yakovlev were not interred for almost 40 days.
As we have already reported, the reason for such a "stretched" funeral was the desire of the artist's common-law wife to bury him at the prestigious Vagankovsky cemetery. Since the churchyard is closed, a special permit from the city authorities is required to obtain a plot of land there.
Alexandra Kutsevol was unable to obtain from Moscow officials a place at the Vagankovsky cemetery for Oleg Yakovlev, although Diana Gurtskaya and Igor Matvienko tried to help her.
At the same time, the Internet reacted rather negatively to the desire of the singer's widow to bury him in the country's main cemetery.
20 people came to the funeral of Oleg Yakovlev
Due to Alexandra Kutsevol's attempts to "knock out" a place at the Vagankovsky cemetery, the ashes of Oleg Yakovlev remained unburied for more than a month. Only on Saturday, when there was very little left until the 40th day, it was decided to bury the singer at the Troekurovsky cemetery.
On the day of the funeral, Alexander Kutsevol announced on Instagram the day before, however, many of his colleagues had tour schedules scheduled in advance, so only about 20 people gathered at Yakovlev's funeral. Of the singer's colleagues, only Natalya Gulkina and Igor Matvienko were. Friends in the Ivanushki group were on tour in Gorno-Altaisk that day.
On Monday, August 7, 40 days after his death, the ashes of the 47-year-old singer were buried. Oleg Yakovlev died in the intensive care unit of a Moscow hospital on June 29. The official cause of cardiac arrest is bilateral pneumonia with complications. There were also suggestions in the media about the chronic nature of the illness of the ex-soloist of Ivanushki International, in particular, cirrhosis of the liver.
Many people have a question, why was the famous artist buried after 40 days? Last week, "KP" explained the situation to the actual wife of Oleg Yakovlev. According to Alexandra Kutsevol, those close to the last hoped that they would receive permission to bury the urn with the ashes of the artist at the Vagankovsky cemetery. There were hopes to erect a monument, for which, as Kutsevol said, one square meter of area would be required. 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.
Due to the fact that the date of the funeral was not announced until Sunday, only the people closest to Oleg were able to take the musician on his last journey. Even his ex-colleagues from "Ivanushki" Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov and Kirill Andreev did not come.
Among those who came was the main person in the creative life of Oleg, who made Yakovlev famous, for which the singer was infinitely grateful to him. This is producer Igor Matvienko. Despite the fact that the artist left the Ivanushki group, for all 4 years of his solo career, the performer's work book lay in the Matvienko production center. "Don't worry, everything is in order with my pension," Oleg said in a recent interview.
But he was not destined to go on a well-deserved rest.

Oleg Yakovlev was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery. The ashes of the ex-soloist of "Ivanushki" were buried 39 days after the death of Evgeny GUSEV
Alexandra Kutsevol, Yakovlev's beloved, has believed in the artist's success as an independent unit in recent years. Oleg's main dream was to record the first solo album of his author's songs. But he did not have time to release the disc.
Almost finished, he left one song "Do not cry." During these 40 days, the wife and Igor Matvienko prepared a posthumous release of the first and last author's song by Oleg Yakovlev. And for the first time the singer's work was performed at his grave. People, hearing the voice of the artist, who had just been buried, were unable to hold back their tears.
And, according to tradition, the artist was accompanied by applause.
Natalya Gulkina, ex-soloist of the Mirage group, also came to say goodbye to her friend. She could not come to say goodbye to the artist, as she was on tour, so she was at the funeral.
We talked for many years, constantly met at concerts, - says Natalya Gulkina. We were not very close friends, but we all know each other. It hurts and it's a shame that young people leave. There was so much more that could be done. Everything is very sad, painful, everything is projected onto oneself, onto others... Kingdom of heaven. May he rest in peace. God grant that his songs sounded on the radio. I really want everyone to remember that his music sounds. A person is alive when the memory of him is alive. He was kind, sincere, open, at a meeting he ran, opening his arms, always wished good luck. I have never seen him in a bad state, on the contrary, he is always positive. We ran the program with him at different times. And meeting him was always a joy. They exchanged a few words and ran on ... Such is life, nothing can be done about it.
His farewell song sounded, how do you like it?
Sad song, sad to hear it. Everything is very symbolic: "Do not cry" ... The song, God forbid, will live on. After all, the artist makes a song in order to go on stage many, many times later, so that later the song will be loved and sung. Unfortunately, he will never go on stage with her. But I think that for everyone who is here, it will sink into the soul for many years.
Oleg Yakovlev did not know his father, his mother died, and his sister passed away after a serious illness 5 years ago. The closest and dearest person for him in recent years was Alexandra Kutsevol. They were connected not only by love, but also by work - Sasha was engaged in producing the singer after leaving Ivanushki. She still cannot come to terms with the loss and she denies the expression “Time heals”:
I suffer. I suffer that I am growing up, but he is not getting older. Memories begin to fade. They are not so clear. It scares. They say that time heals, but I feel the loss more acutely. I want to write memoirs for all these years. He used to keep diaries, then he stopped. But I want to restore it all in memory. And I don't want time to heal, - says Alexandra.
What was he like?
Oleg treated everyone equally, with great respect. Starting from security guards, ending with ministers and government officials. I was always amazed that he entered the room and was the first to shake hands with the guards, say hello, compliment the waiters. This is a person for whom there were no ranks. He is bright, magical and all-loving, he could give his neighbor his last shirt. That was Oleg. Oleg was a strong man. He never showed any kind. He taught me to be strong. And I never wanted people to cry. And it is no coincidence that today we have a premiere called "Don't Cry." The song was almost ready back in March of the month. And his farewell album, albeit without him, will be released by next spring. We will discuss this with Igor Matvienko.
Initially, they planned a funeral at Vagankovsky ...
We got this place. Troekurovskoe is a branch of the Novodevichy cemetery. I would like to thank everyone for their participation and help! First of all, the production center of Igor Matvienko and himself, Diana Gurtskaya and her husband Peter Kucherenko. They turned on, they helped. Thank God, they did it. It's very cozy here.
Why was there no one from "Ivanushki"?
We didn't plan a public event here at all. We figured out in two days where and when. Farewell was July 1st. There should be some kind of sacred story here, which did not quite work out (Alexandra means that representatives of several media came to the funeral - Ed). Who knew, he knew. We did not conduct a special mailing list, we did not plan to collect someone. We wanted to do it in a narrow circle, quietly and calmly. But it so happened that Oleg, as a public person, wanted so. I always say now, if something happens, then it is the will of Yakovlev.
The death of the popular singer Oleg Yakovlev, who became famous throughout the country for his performances for the Ivanushki International group, continues to be the focus of attention of fans. People, trying to understand all the circumstances of the death of a musician, stumble upon a number of inconsistencies.
The day before, the civil wife of the performer informed the public that the cause of Yakovlev's death was bilateral pneumonia. Thus, she denied numerous rumors that Oleg actually died from cirrhosis of the liver, or from other, much more terrible diseases that appeared on the Internet.
Oleg Yakovlev died: what happened, news
Fans of Oleg Yakovlev still cannot come to terms with the official cause of his death. People do not understand how the artist died so quickly, if a few days ago he performed on stage and made grandiose plans.
However, at the present time, it can be stated 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 on June 29, the singer died in intensive care without regaining consciousness, his common-law wife Alexandra Kutsevol said. 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 he was connected to the machine all this time. During this time, he never even regained consciousness. There was an advanced stage, he was treated at home himself. We didn't call an ambulance before, you know, cough and cough. Everything happened too quickly, none of us had time to come to our senses, ”said the inconsolable lover of the artist.
The funeral of Oleg Yakovlev: the singer was cremated on July 1

Recall that Oleg Yakovlev joined the Ivanushki International group in 1997, replacing the deceased Igor Sorin. Together with Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov and Kirill Andreev, Oleg Yakovlev recorded the song "Poplar Fluff", which instantly soared to the top of the charts. In 2013, the artist decided to leave the group and concentrate on his solo career.
The wife spoke about AIDS in Oleg Yakovlev
The last love of Oleg Yakovlev, Alexander Kutsevol, commented on the sensational news that the singer allegedly had AIDS. The artist's wife is going to sue journalists.
The former soloist of "Ivanushki" died early in the morning on June 29. In the afternoon of the same day on the website of the publication "Express newspaper" there was information that Oleg allegedly had AIDS. This was reported to journalists by a source whom the authors of the article called competent. According to the informant, who wished to keep his name secret, Yakovlev's heart problems were the result of an immunodeficiency.
Beloved performer Alexander Kutsevol not only did not confirm this information, but also threatened the reporters with a court. The chosen one of the deceased artist is shocked by this slander.
“I will sue such publications. I will now wake up from everything and deal with this issue. It's over the edge. They even wrote that I committed suicide. Terrible rumors, ”the website quotes the indignant Alexandra "StarHit".
Now heartbroken Kutsevol, who devoted about five years of her life to the ex-soloist of Ivanushki, is dealing with issues of his cremation. The girl assured that Oleg wanted this. The farewell ceremony with Yakovlev will take place on July 1 at 12:00 in the Necropolis Troyekurovsky House.
Earlier, Alexandra told the sharks of the pen that Oleg died due to an advanced stage of pneumonia. “The cause of death was bilateral pneumonia, so he was connected to the machine all this time. During this time, he never even regained consciousness, ”the singer’s beloved shared her grief.
By the way, there is another version of the death of the star. According to the site Life.ru, Yakovlev had liver problems. According to the publication, the ex-soloist of "Ivanushki" died as a result of pulmonary edema, and complications arose against the background of cirrhosis.
Redhead from Ivanushki showed Oleg Yakovlev's apartment
A member of the Ivanushki International group visited the apartment of his deceased friend and colleague and shot a video there.
The soloist of the famous Russian pop group and former partner of Oleg Yakovlev in Ivanushki Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov visited the apartment of a friend who passed away. He posted a video on his I nstagram.
“I spent the whole evening today at Olezhka’s house. It seems that Oleg will now return from filming, and we are waiting for him. Earth with poplar fluff to him, ”reads the caption to the video.
“That's all that's left of him, except for the music, the voice,” Andrei says behind the scenes.
We add that the recording was made on the day of the death of the singer. The recording shows the empty atmosphere of the apartment. On the wall of the tidy room there is a full-length icon, paintings, a metal bas-relief with Marx, Engels and Lenin. The window of Yakovlev's apartment overlooks the noisy embankment of the Moskva River.
Oleg Yakovlev has died. My Yasha… Our ‘little’ Olezhka… Fly, Snegiryok, your voice and songs are in our hearts forever…”, Grigoriev-Apollonov signed the photo.
Oleg Yakovlev and his sudden death became the topic of the program “Let them talk”
The late former soloist of "Ivanushki" Oleg Yakovlev was dedicated to the new issue of the talk show "Channel One" "Let them talk." According to the participants of the program, in 2010 the singer had a hard time with the death of his older sister Svetlana, who passed away from cancer. The artist's friends noted that the trouble knocked down the artist, who was very upset by the loss, but never showed it and kept everything to himself ..
The wife of the soloist of Ivanushki International, Kirill Andreeva, Lola, said that Oleg Yakovlev did not share his problems and experiences with those around him, and definitely did not talk about health problems, so his sudden death was a real shock for colleagues in the shop.
“You can’t help a person who keeps everything to himself. He did not say that he was ill, so no one helped him, ”the psychologist invited to the studio as an expert reasonably noted. “I am firmly convinced that we create evil fate in our destiny with our own hands,” said the wife of Kirill Andreev.
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.
Theatre
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 an 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.
In order for the artist to find peace at the Vagankovsky cemetery, permission from the government of the capital is needed. The common-law wife of the former soloist of the Ivanushki International group is waiting for a response from the Moscow authorities. Alexandra Kutsevol hopes that the issue will be resolved in the coming days.
At the end of June, fans of the Ivanushki International group were shocked by the sad news. Oleg Yakovlev, one of the former soloists of the band, died at the age of 48. The artist died as a result of pulmonary edema. Relatives of the musician were shocked by his death.
Recently it turned out that Yakovlev could not be buried for several weeks now. The widow of the singer Alexander Kutsevol expressed the hope that the issue would be resolved in the coming days.
The wife of Oleg Yakovlev: “I thought if he was gone, then I would die on the first day”
“We have been dealing with the issue of Oleg’s burial 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 all the time, asking where they can come, ”the woman told reporters.
Now Kutsevol is waiting for a response from the authorities and hopes that she will be assisted in solving the problem. “The production center of Igor Matvienko, folk and honored artists applied with petitions,” Alexandra added.
According to the woman, the issue with the artist's burial place needs to be resolved as soon as possible. “There is a week left until 40 days, and this must be done before this date,” the singer's widow notes.
Recall that Oleg Yakovlev became a member of the Ivanushki International group in March 1998, replacing Igor Sorin in his post. At first, fans of the popular band were wary of the new soloist, but soon they accepted him in the wake of the success of the songs “Poplar Fluff” and “Bullfinches”. After 15 years spent together with Kirill Andreev and Andrey Grigoriev-Apollonov, Oleg Yakovlev decided to concentrate on his solo career.
At the end of June, the artist ended up in one of the capital's medical institutions with bilateral pneumonia. Yakovlev's heart stopped on June 29. The singer bequeathed to be cremated. The farewell ceremony with Oleg took place on July 1 at the Troekurovsky cemetery.
In turn, Igor Matvienko's production center added that they were also trying to resolve the issue with the burial place of the ex-member of the popular group. An employee of the organization Andrei Lukinov said that Diana Gurtskaya and her husband Pyotr Kucherenko are assisting them, RIA Novosti reports. The well-known singer and chairman of the commission of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation for the support of families, children and motherhood sent a corresponding appeal to the Moscow authorities.
