Last year, one tombstone was replaced at the left-bank Voronezh cemetery. Well, the cemetery is already used to broken monuments and such castling. hoi with a guitar, Khoi without a guitar, Khoi with a cross, Khoi against the background of the inscription "Hoi" and his own quote about the unknown meaning of life - as if even after death this restless guy cannot tame his bubbling energy.
There are biographies that require a decent knowledge of geography from the compiler. Life, which does not yet know that it is a biography, throws people to one end of the map, then to the other, draws lines, bizarre zigzags of dotted lines between strange foreign names - a real Arabic script, which takes long hours to unravel.
There are others. The line of life in such biographies is not a line at all. Rather, it looks like a self-confident fat dot on the map. On such a point was born, lived and died Yuri Klinskikh. It is very easy to imagine - take a pen and draw two circles. The one in the center - paint over. Inscribed on top - Voronezh. And a little bigger - Hoi. From it, of course, some frail spider legs of dotted lines will stretch - to Moscow, to the Far East, somewhere else. But all this is unimportant. The person who “turned on” on July 27, 1964 did everything to “turn off” exactly there, in July, 36 years later.
“I wrote the first poem at school, I remember something about spring”
Yura Khoy, then still just Yura Klinskikh, was born into the family of a housewife Maria Kuzminichna Klinskikh and an engineer Nikolai Mitrofanovich, who worked hard at the Voronezh aircraft plant. He was not the only son of the Klinsky couple; little Khoy had two older brothers. From childhood, the boy grew up smart and inquisitive, being interested in everything he could reach.
At school, Yura did not stand out for anything special. He was lazy, studied for triples, wore “bad luck” home for his behavior. His diploma of secondary education is decorated with a single four. Not by singing, by labor. In addition, often Yura did not come to the first lessons, he was late - he sat up with books until late. He was honest, tried never to lie.
From a young age, the elder brothers introduced Yura to music; rock and roll could often be heard in the Klinsky house. The guys listened to Soviet music, the Beatles, Deep Purpl - first on records, then on reels. The father taught the younger to ... poetry, the study of literature and the rules of versification. He himself wrote poetry all his life, published - but somehow without much success. The lessons given to him later manifested themselves in the obscene, rollicking songs of his son, which, despite the "vile", "ugly" content, according to literary critics, had "an impeccable style and style."
If Yura's father helped with the style, then the maintenance was thrown up by obligatory village holidays, on which he often disappeared for a whole summer. Horror films became another source of inspiration - first Soviet ones, like Viy, then - any that could be obtained on cassettes and looked up to holes at night. Hoy learned to play the guitar at school, at the same time he composed his first songs.
After graduating from school, and having studied at DOSSAF for the sake of free rights, Yura sat down at the “steering wheel” of a tank for two years. Its part was stationed in the Far East. Without any special incidents, he served until 1984 and was demobilized.
“In order to work in the police, you need to be a bad person. There are, of course, normal ones, but they don’t belong there.”
After the army, Yuri went to the traffic police, but did not take root in the police. He himself always loved speed, cars, and he could put himself in the place of an ordinary person - he tried not to fine those who slightly exceeded the speed limit, people from villages, who were penniless - he regretted it. But before the authorities did not know how to bend. They say that once Yura slowed down even the mayor of Voronezh, who was driving a red one. And to the question “do you know who I am?” replied that he did not want to know. On another occasion, in this manner, he stopped some important priest, and, naturally, got himself into trouble both times. In addition, Hoi could never fulfill the plan for fines assigned by the traffic police. Three years in the menovka smoothly turned into hard labor. For the last few months of the contract, Yura has already served in private security, counting down the days until the new "demobilization". As Nikolai Mitrofanovich later recalled, Yuri barely worked the last day in the police, came home, tore off his uniform, threw it on the floor and began to stomp with his feet, to tear something. Having finished with the filthy, in his opinion, work, Hoy began to interrupt with other earnings - he worked as a milling machine operator, a CNC machine operator at Videophone, and a loader. In his free time, he wrote songs and played the guitar. He started the Volga-31 (the first of four cars), and almost killed himself on it, on the Moscow highway, somewhere near Tula. Hoy sold the restored car, and since then he has tried to stay away from domestic brands. Among his next cars was a red diesel WolksWagen Golf III and a white Daewoo Nexia with power accessories and air conditioning.
“I am not ashamed of my city, I have lived in it all my life, and in it, most likely, I will die ...”
Yura Khoi
In his free time from part-time work, Yura watched countless horrors or mysticism, played billiards and sometimes - as a hobby - made music. When a rock club was opened in Voronezh, Khoy became a regular. At a spring concert in 1987, he played for the first time a few songs, which he began to write at the same time - in February and March. As Yura later said - he did not like the poor themes of amateur groups - “about love, peace, something so ... incomprehensible”, so he decided to enrich it with his participation. “Everyone liked it, and that’s how it went…”
He sang solo in the club or invited someone. And on December 5, 1987, Hoy gathered the first composition of his "Sector" and sang several songs - "I'm scum", "Crazy corpse", "Drowned", "Collective farm punk" - on the stage of a rock club
The name "Gaza Strip" was for Yura a "mysterious combination" and at the same time - its "on the board" Voronezh reality. In his childhood, it was heard because of the Arab-Israeli confrontation, which was then often talked about on the radio. And in Voronezh, they also called the industrial zone with a bunch of factories and smoking chimneys, and the corresponding criminal atmosphere, where the rock club was located. In short, with the name of Yura's team it was easy. According to Hoy, it was "a local name for a band that didn't want to go beyond urban rock clubs"
"I never considered myself a punk..."
Yura Khoi
Two years later, by 1989, the group recorded two "cassette" albums - "Plows-woogie" and "Collective Farm Punk". The quality of the recordings was terrible, and they sold exclusively in Voronezh. The breakthrough for the team was the album "Evil Dead", published in 1990.
Many, especially from the early songs, are autobiographical - "Java", "Cop" (after Yura left the sobering-up station), "Vigorous louse", "I took the blame" - a dedication to my brother.
At the same time, Yura himself tried to "dissolve" himself and the "lyrical hero" - "a sort of monster in smelly socks, who suffered from all known venereal diseases and earned impotence." He said that singing about human vices is not the same as endorsing them. For Yura, such songs are rather some special way of dealing with them.
Hoy never considered himself a classic "punk". “... maybe at the beginning of creativity, pure “punk” was visible in some places,” he said in his interviews. He then began to do what he personally liked, without being attached to the style. Indeed, musically, his albums were quite diverse. Yura himself defined the style of his team as "fusion".
Hoy's role models and favorite music were Western bands and Rage Against The Machine, Biohazard, AC/DC, Alice Cooper. In recent years, Yura was influenced by heavy rap with its blues, clear rhythms and rock guitars, and throughout his career he loved punk and death metal.
“Hoi, young month! Hanging - nailed!"
Venya D'rkin
The pseudonym "Khoy" clung to Yura immediately and quite firmly. In general, many people used this exclamation at that time - from D'rkin to Letov, borrowing either from Oi!
As he himself said: “Hoi” is just an exclamation, I often say it during songs. The fact that it reminds someone of Tsoi (with whom Yura was personally, albeit sporadically, familiar) is an accident.
In the last years of his life, Yura began to use the pseudonym "so that there are no problems with traffic cops" less. And then they will stop, and he, “What are you, guys, I’m a soloist in the Gaza Strip. And they - “Lie! Hoi sings there."
“When we entered the big stage, a person who had previously worked only with “pop music” began to deal with us and who, at the word “rock and roll”, began to feel sick”
Yura Khoi
After the success of The Evil Dead and Vigorous Louse, Yura began performing at all sorts of mixed parties - 50x50 and the like, but he quickly got tired of it. He did not want to move to Moscow - "the depraved city of impudent youth", although he took advantage of the opportunity to record at the Mir studio. His recordings are published by one of the first Russian labels - Gala Records. The legal concerts of the group begin, and with it - the concerts of the fake "Khoi" in the cities. Yura himself did not like to "shine", deliberately supported the growth of rumors, legends about his group. In terms of sales, everyone knew him on cassettes, but 99% of the albums were released by pirates. Hoy did not complain, he lived from the percentage that "Gala Records" sold in Moscow, official releases on the "Black Box" in Voronezh and numerous concerts (more than 300 in total). His albums were released in 1994, then were re-released by Gala in 1997. Push the Gas and Collective Farm Punk were also released - in 1991 and 1993 - already on CD, LP, and unchanged cassettes.
“We don’t care who we play for, we are far from politics. Zhirinovsky pays - we play for Zhirinovsky, another faction will pay - we will play for it "
Yura Khoi
The popularity also grew. It is known that Vladimir Zhirinovsky was delighted with the "Sector", and Khoy, apolitical as a banana, "reciprocated" for the Liberal Democratic Party, but - for money. Yura did not have his own political predilections, sending all politics “... in the ass. Gimlet! He was quite satisfied with the formation, because, being one of the workers, he earned good money from his talent. However, Hoy believed that if he had to get stuck in the loaders, then, of course, he would be dissatisfied with the government.
As the popularity of "Fog" and "It's time to go home" Khoy became actually folk music, the music of demobilization, vocational schools, students and rural youth. Zhlobrockgroup - so ironically often called the "Gaza Strip" - a group that Hoy himself compared to porn, an outcast group, a pariah that neither rock nor pop music accepted.
It is known that Yura was not averse to playing in a concert with DDT or Alisa, but he was not called, and he himself did not ask for it. In 1994, he recorded the punk opera "Koschei the Immortal" - a thrash mixture of Russian fairy tales and music in the spirit of AC / DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers or Ace Of Base, which attracted the attention of critics. The “Fairy Tale” video is released, which was not filmed due to lack of funds, then the black-and-white “Fog” - with a chronicle of Russian wars. In total, SG releases 4 clips. The fifth - "Night of Fear" - was not completed due to the death of the singer.
In the late 90s, "SG" released a number of techno-remixes, with the participation of Voronezh DJ Krota.
"I've been aiming for a heavy sound all the time"
Yura Khoi
In the last years of his life, Yura Klinskikh changed his image and sound. Instead of leather jackets, ripped jeans, old T-shirts and army boots, black expensive shoes, dark trousers and a shirt appear. Instead of rollicking "collective farm" punk - "cool heavy" of the last album.
“... I have tried almost all drugs, but I'm not used to anything and I'm not going to get used to it. I tried it and that's enough"
Yura Khoi
The exact cause of Hoi's death is unknown. On July 4, 2000, he died in the same house on Barnaulskaya, on the way from his house to the next recording. In recent years, his health problems have worsened - both hepatitis and heart problems were suspected. Hoy drank a lot, and by the end of the 90s, friends began to suspect his strong drug addiction. In addition, as many believe, his companion Olga was a complete drug addict. Before his death, Yura complained of pain in the lower abdomen, side and "boiling water in the veins" - but decided that it would go away on its own. It did not pass, she and Olya, being in a “bad” area, went to Barnaulskaya. In the apartment, Hoi immediately lay down, once again talking about the "boiling water" in the veins. Olga began to call the ambulance - but they answered only the 4th time. The doctors could not help - the heart stopped.
Hoi is dead. A man who did not like the "discharged party", gays and Kirkorov died. A man who loved heavy sound and heavy rap, speed, simple words and mystical horrors has died. He “made” his death look like an unpretentious “horror movie” - the sum of the digits of her date was 13, his last album, Hellraiser, contained 13 songs, was the 13th album released in the 13th year of the existence of SG, and two memorial days - 9 and 40 fell on the 13th.
After Yura Klinsky, two daughters remained - Ira and Lilya.
Yuri Khoi (Klinskikh)
Yuri Khoy, real name - Yuri Nikolaevich Klinskikh. Born July 27, 1964 in Voronezh - died July 4, 2000 in Voronezh. Soviet and Russian musician, singer, poet, composer, leader of the Gaza Strip group.
Father - Nikolai Mitrofanovich Klinskikh (June 15, 1935 - August 23, 2005), engineer at the Voronezh Aviation Plant.
Half brothers - Anatoly and Leonid Yapryntsev.
Yuri's father wrote poetry, published. The talent of his father was also passed on to the boy, who also began to compose from an early age. In addition, his father instilled in Yuri a love of rock and roll, prompted him to master the art of playing the guitar. In high school, Yuri began to write texts himself and try to put them on music, performed his compositions with a guitar.
Never received a musical education.
He studied at the Voronezh secondary school No. 30, from which he graduated in 1981. He did not study well at school, he was primarily occupied with musical and poetic creativity.
After school, he worked at a factory for a year. He studied at DOSAAF as a ZIL-130 driver. In 1981 he recorded an acoustic album on a tape recorder (later partially re-recorded it in 1985).
“I wrote my first poem back at school, I remember something about spring. Then, before the army, I learned to play the guitar and tried to do something. But the songs were primitive, about love, all such a trifle,” he recalled.
Military service in 1982-1984 was held in the Far East - in Blagoveshchensk. He served in the tank troops as a driver.
After demobilization, he joined the police, worked as a traffic police inspector for three years, then for some time in private security.
After leaving the police, he worked as a milling machine operator, a CNC machine operator at the Voronezh plant "Videofon". After leaving the factory, he got a job as a loader.
At the same time, he continued to play the guitar and compose songs, although he did not even dream of a big stage at that time. However, in 1987 a rock club opened in Voronezh, and he became an active participant in it. On December 5, 1987, his first concert took place at the club, at which Yuri performed several songs of his own composition.
“When the rock club opened, I looked at amateur bands, I didn’t like their poor in themes, I remember they sang something about the world, about love, about something so incomprehensible. I decided to shake the old days. And since the experience has already remained, I began to get pretty good. Everyone liked it and that's how it all went, "said the musician.
For six months he performed solo under the name "Gaza Strip", received due to the nickname of the part of the Left Bank district of Voronezh, known for the tense environmental situation and the crime situation. The first electric composition of the team was formed only in June 1988 and changed frequently in the future.
Yuri Klinsky's group gained general fame in 1990 after the release of the albums The Evil Dead and Vigorous Louse. The success of a simple Voronezh guy became possible thanks to Gorbachev's dashing perestroika, hungry for taboo topics. For him there was no censorship, he sang about everything and everything.
Gaza Strip - Impotent
Due to the abundance of profanity in the lyrics of the songs, the Gaza Strip remained in the underground for a long time. Yuri Klinskikh in those years worked first at a consumer electronics factory, then as a loader - music did not bring income.
Until 1991, the group did not give concerts outside Voronezh (with the exception of a single performance in Cherepovets in 1989). Recordings of the "Gaza Strip" were distributed throughout the country by the efforts of fans. The entire USSR knew Khoy's songs, and at first the fans had no idea how their idol looked outwardly, taking advantage of this, numerous doubles traveled around the country and gave concerts to the soundtracks of the group.
The pseudonym Khoi comes from Yuri's trademark "Hoi!", which he often uttered during his performances, and also used in his work. According to Klinsky himself, he began to use the word "hoy" in everyday life after a long listening to the "Civil Defense" group.
Gaza Strip - Walk, man!
From the very beginning of his work, Yuri created for himself the image of a lone rebel and swearing. Outwardly, he looked like one of the representatives of Soviet punk, and, despite the fact that punks in the USSR sometimes differed from each other, both in ideology and in appearance - depending on the place of residence, Hoi never became a classic punk. did not consider.
“I never considered myself a punk. Well, maybe, at the beginning of my work, pure “punk” was seen somewhere. I do what I like. Each album is musically diverse,” he said about himself.
Yuri Klinskikh and the Gaza Strip group
On stage, he knew how to transform - there he was uncompromising and tough, but in life he was kind and cheerful, a man of great soul, but in aggregate he had an incredibly powerful energy and charisma. Basically, he did what he personally liked, without being tied to a certain style, musically, his albums were quite diverse.
Since the mid-1990s, he has been gradually moving away from the image he created, somewhat changing the style of the group and radically his own - instead of leather jackets, a leather vest, glovelets, torn jeans, old T-shirts, army shoes and other rock paraphernalia, expensive shoes, trousers, shirts appear and pullovers.
Yuri Khoy tried to talk less about the group, believing that the lack of complete information causes more excitement in the listener, contributing to the growth of rumors and legends about the Gaza Strip.
A significant part of the work of Yuri Klinsky was devoted to the acute social problems of the times of perestroika, the "dashing 90s", as well as the theme of the afterlife and mysticism. In his songs, he tried to take into account the events of public and personal life, the actions of people, everyday situations, while using profanity in the texts of some compositions.
Gaza Strip - Demobilization
Gaza Strip - Fog
His work aroused either deep interest or protest from the audience. It is believed that thanks to perestroika, the sharply social, obscene songs of the Gaza Strip were able to reach the hearts of the people, and Khoi thus gained popularity among the public, yearning for taboo topics. But still, Hoy, contrary to the common stereotype, tried not to abuse profanity. Obscene expressions and jargon in his songs convey the character and characteristics of the speech of the characters.
The work of the Gas Sector was often called pseudo-folklore ditties or a folklore parody of established musical genres. Hoy used elements of folkloric origin in his songs. In 1997, Artemy Troitsky, in a conversation with Khoy, called the sector's work "extreme informal folk music", and Khoy agrees with this definition of his works.
During his creative career, Klinskikh never earned a lot of money due to the prosperity of "piracy", which affected the number of licensed discs sold, which is approximately 1% of the total. However, the group and its leader became quite famous in Russia and the CIS. Although the band's later lyrics were more restrained, most fans and members of the music industry associated Gaza with obscene language and bawdy songs.
Death of Yuri (Khoy) Klinsky
The artist died on July 4, 2000 at 12:37 in Voronezh in one of the private houses on Barnaulskaya Street. On this day, he was going to go to the shooting of the video clip "Night of Fear" at the Voronezh studio "Art-Prize".
There are many rumors about Yuri's death: according to the official version, he died of a heart attack, although he had never had any heart problems before. According to the unofficial version, Yuri took drugs (in combination with a serious alcohol addiction) and suffered from hepatitis, which caused his death. The ambulance arrived at the house too late.
Until now, the true circumstances of death remain a mystery, and there is no data on any autopsy performed. The police did not conduct a detailed investigation.
Yury's cohabitant Olga Samarina told about the circumstances of his death: “We came to Voronezh to shoot a video. On July 4, Yura had to meet with the operator, because shooting was scheduled for the evening. We agreed to meet at twelve o'clock or at the beginning of the first and were afraid to oversleep. In the morning I open my eyes, and he runs around the apartment.
What happened to you?
I don’t understand myself ... Blood runs like boiling water through the veins. I feel how she runs and not just runs - it burns her veins ...
I looked, and he has perspiration, as if he had a temperature. I had the idea to call an ambulance. And he says:
No need! I'm going to take an aspirin now. Aspirin seems to thin the blood.
Well, I drank, got into the car, drove off. He was very pale. Said:
Crap! I'm like a dead man... you don't even need to make up before shooting...
We drove away from home. He stops and says:
You know, I have a friend who lives here. Let's go to him.
It was on the Left Bank somewhere in private houses. We come to this guy, we go into the house ... Yurka immediately lay down on the bed. Curled up and began to swing from side to side.
Oh, it hurts so much! - speaks. - Everything burns with fire!
Everyone says that his liver failed. I don't know... If it were a liver, everything would be different... I don't know what it is. I still don’t know ... He just lay and swayed, and I calmed him down. Then she got up for cigarettes, went to another room. And here - a roar!
I look, and Yura fell out of bed. I'm yelling at this guy
Andrey! Help!
We got scared, rushed to him, put him on the floor, leaned him against the bed. He's breathing so hard. Hands are shaking, eyes roll back... We put him down, unbutton his shirt. I have been using artificial respiration since high school. Well, they started doing it. First, mouth to mouth, then massaged the chest. Yura lost consciousness, and Andrey says:
Listen to the heart!
I listen, and it seems to me that it is somewhere far, far away. But while it's beating.
Andrei rushed to call an ambulance. Three times they refused to write down the address. I call and shout at the top of my voice:
What are you doing? He won't live until your doctors arrive!
Finally, the address was written down. I ran out to meet them on the street so that the doctors would not get lost in the houses ... And Yura was already suffocating, his face was burgundy ... In general, as he lay, he died ... "
The funeral took place on July 6, 2000 in Voronezh. The farewell took place in the Luch Palace of Culture, where, despite heavy rain, many Voronezh residents came to say goodbye to Yuri. The funeral service was held in the Dormition Church. Then the body of Yuri Klinsky was interred at the Levoberezhnoye cemetery (cemetery "on the tanks", south-eastern part, section 7a).
grave of Yuri (Khoy) Klinsky
The death of Yuri Klinsky is shrouded in mysticism. So, at his last concert, he tried to perform the song "Demobilization" with a backing track, but he failed to do this and simply left the stage. The sound engineer of the group Andrey Deltsov recommended that the same song be included in the next album when recording the last album "Raiser from Hell" (it allegedly did not fit in style), but Yuri convinced the sound engineer not to do this, fearing not to live up to the next album.
In one of his songs, he sang: "The gas sector - you won't live to be forty here." By coincidence, he did not live to see his 36th birthday for 23 days.
In the song "Bite of the Vampire" there are words describing his own death, which have become essentially prophetic:
"I do not know what happened,
But it shakes me, and it's hot in my chest.
I do not know what happened,
But it seems to me that death is ahead ... ".
In October 2001, Vladimir Tikhomirov's book Hoy! Epitaph rock gouging "- an illustrated story of the life and work of Yuri Klinsky and the group" Gaza Strip ".
In 2004, the book "Gaza Strip" was published through the eyes of loved ones. The book contains memoirs of Yury Klinsky's relatives, articles, interviews, little-known facts from the life of the Gaza Strip group and its leader, memoirs of fans, poems dedicated to Yury Klinsky.
In July 2015, Aslan Kurbanov's e-book "Khoi Says: Direct Speech by Yuri Klinsky" was published - a collection of previously unpublished interviews with Yuri Klinsky.
On December 11, 2015, a big concert in memory of Yuri Khoi was held on the stage of the Stadium Live club in Moscow. That evening, the songs of the Gaza Strip group were performed by groups and musicians: S.G., Black Tuesday and Vladimir Lobanov, Mongol Shuudan, The Matrixx and Yulia Kogan, Bakhyt-Kompot, Krasnaya Mold". There was also a concert presentation. The song was accidentally found by his daughter Irina when she was sorting through reels with her father's records. It turned out that Klinskikh recorded the “composition” in 1995 and wanted to include it in the Gas Attack album, but then for some reason changed his mind.
And the moon will understand us all,
And the moon will forgive us all,
At night, our best friend is the moon,
Her gentle beam will touch your trembling lips,
It will dispel longing and warm us at night, ”the song says.

Personal life of Yuri (Khoy) Klinsky:
Galina Klinskikh later said: “When I studied at a vocational school, we were sent to a collective farm to harvest beets. And Yura lived there with his grandparents, even before the army. They settled us like in a hostel: a village house with three rooms. and I read a book ... Yura was the first to notice me, and he liked me. He courted me merrily. He came on motorcycles, sang on the guitar. Everyone was young then. At first I thought he was frivolous, rollicking like that. Shpana, in a word. And then I got to know him better. It was felt that he was not spoiled by women. He didn’t know how to look after at all. We went to the cinema, went to the river on a motorcycle ... In November, he was taken to the army. I was waiting for him, writing letters. He served in the Far East on the border with China. He rode a tank. Then he returned, went to my hostel. They played a wedding: he was in a suit, I was in a white dress. They drank champagne, he carried me across the bridge in his arms ... Well, like everyone."
The eldest daughter Irina Melehovets (Klinskikh) graduated from the VSPU, a psychologist, has a son, Matvey (born June 27, 2011).
The youngest daughter Lilia Klinskikh graduated from the magistracy of VSU, is an employee of the Lukoil company.
Galina Klinskikh, after the death of Yuri, never married, lives with her youngest daughter.
In 1991, at his concert at Luzhniki, he met Olga Samarina (born April 13, 1975), whom he later met in the last years of his life, without hiding this from his wife Galina - in fact, he lived in two families.
According to close people, it was Olga who addicted Yuri to drug use. Samarina, in turn, blamed her lawful wife, Galina Klinskikh, for everything, who allegedly was fond of black magic and went to her grandmother, who prophesied a big trouble for Khoy if he did not part with Olga.
Olga Samarina wrote the book "HOI!".

Biography
Sektor Gaza is a rock band created by Yuri Klinskikh in 1987 in Voronezh.Sektor Gaza is named after the area in Voronezh where Yury Khoy lived. Explanation - there were many factories in the area, which is why it was nicknamed the "Gas Sector". The group joins a local rock club and is rapidly gaining popularity not only in their hometown, but also beyond. The songs of the Klinskys, describing the life and life of ordinary representatives of working youth, found a response in the hearts of that very youth. The hits of the "Gaza Strip" are sung in the doorways and basements of the whole country, while the group is completely ignored by the mass media of the USSR. Klinskikh himself works at the plant as an ordinary worker. All-Union glory does not bring Yuri any financial resources. For the habit taken from Yegor Letov, shouting from the stage: "Hoi!", Fans give him the nickname "Yura Khoy".
At the same time, one of the first recording companies of the post-perestroika USSR, Gala Records, is engaged in the promotion of the team. The group's albums are released one after another. According to unofficial data, Sektor Gaza is the leader in music distribution, Hoy and the company are touring the CIS. With the participation of the group, the release of the famous "Program A" is even broadcast on television.
In fact, the Gaza Strip is Yuri Klinskikh + a constantly changing line-up of musicians. At one time, Tatyana Fateeva worked in the group, successfully complementing Khoy on vocals.
Throughout the 90s, the “Gaza Strip”, which was actually ignored not only by the mass media, but also by brothers in the rock workshop (the best example of this is the lack of information about S.G. in the rock encyclopedia “Who is who in the Soviet roque" of the 91st year). Enjoyed great popularity in the "lower classes" of society, among the so-called "gopniks". At the same time, Khoy's peppery creativity had enough admirers in more intellectual circles. The group also performed in foreign countries: in Germany, Israel.
On July 4, 2000, his body could not stand it, there was a liver failure, and Klinskikh died of a heart attack in the apartment of a friend in Voronezh. Soon the last album of the group "Hellraiser" was released.
Then a wave of Klinsky followers began. Former musicians of S. G. or simply acquaintances of Yuri create groups using the themes developed by Hoi and the name "Gaza Strip". Many consider such "inheritance" a violation of moral rights. Moreover, the epigones of Yuri could not fill the niche that arose after the death of the Klinskys.
This is not surprising - the popularity of the Gaza Strip was largely a consequence of the era in which the group developed. The people of the former USSR have already passed that round of cultural development, which caused the popularity of the group. "Painful" emotions were released and did not need to be repeated. However, there is a simpler explanation the group's epigones never reached the level of the Klinskys, neither in terms of text, nor in terms of music, and even more so in terms of popularity.
Although the groups “ex-Gaza Strip” (founded by Igor Kushchev) and “Gas Attack Sector” (founded by Sergey Guznin (Kim) and Tatyana Fateeva) gained quite a lot of popularity. The latter group collaborated with Red Mold on the punk musical Little Red Riding Hood (2001).
Yuri Klinskikh came from the typical environment of the Soviet workers' quarters. He was a poor student and after graduating from school and the army did not stay long at any workplace. Klinsky was not in prison, but his closest relatives went through this school of life. Klinskikh was not only a witness, but also a participant in brawls and group fights, typical of residential areas. At the same time, Yuri was fond of music since childhood, played the guitar and was a rather intelligent, thinking person. Having absorbed the specific culture of his environment, he poured out the acquired experience into songs. Keeping the jargon and following the concepts of the lumpen milo close to him, Hoy brilliantly recreated reality, rhyming it into verses. The heroes of his songs are simple guys "next door", workers (sometimes vice versa - they are villagers, "collective farmers"), alcoholics, homeless people, people of a criminal or semi-criminal persuasion. They are interested in everyday problems with whom to drink, with whom to sleep, what to do later. It was this unpretentiousness and obviousness of the characters that so pleased the very people about whom Klinsky wrote his songs.
In addition, a large layer of Klinsky's work is devoted to the theme of the afterlife. The plots of these songs usually develop in the countryside. The heroes of the songs are the same “collective farmers” or “hard workers”.
However, Yuri did not stand in one place, developing as a musician and poet. He willingly experimented with the theme and form of songs, musically parodying well-known motifs. A striking example is his rock fairy tale (punk opera) "Kashchei the Immortal". Klinskikh was fond of various musical trends from hard rock to black rap, which was reflected in his songs. The best incorruptibles of Hoy include not only the early hits of the Gaza Strip stuffed with obscenities, but also such serious songs as Fog, Home, Life, 30 Years.
Yuri Klinskikh revered the work of Vladimir Vysotsky, often drawing parallels between himself and the legendary bard. The song "On the Night Before Christmas" was written by Yura, clearly under the influence of Vysotsky's song "Pursuit".
Gaza Strip was mistakenly believed to be a punk band. Klinskikh indeed initially used punk paraphernalia on the stage, thereby creating a precedent for such an opinion. However, the arrangements of S. G.'s songs have nothing to do with punk rock: "dead" drums on studio recordings, the dominance of synthesizers and "heavy" guitar solos gave the group's sound a rather "pop" tone. The nihilism in the lyrics is also not enough to qualify Sektor as a punk band, since the songs actually lack outrageousness or open protest. Klinskikh himself later expressed dissatisfaction with the overall studio sound, and in turn characterized the group's musical style as "fusion". Given that the lyrics of the Klinskys gradually became more and more in-depth, the attempts of the so-called friends of Khoy, who allegedly reanimate the Gaza Strip after the death of the Klinskys, look especially pale against his background.
In the last years of his life, Yuri, who abused not only alcohol, but also heroin, suffered from hepatitis C. Nevertheless, the death of Klinsky came as a surprise to many fans. Yuri was not a rich man, his family was left virtually without money, as a result of which a large-scale campaign took place on the Internet to raise money for the Klinsky monument.

Yuri Nikolaevich Klinsky (Khoy)(July 27, Voronezh - July 4, Voronezh) - Soviet and Russian musician, poet, composer, founder and leader of the Gaza Strip group.
Biography
Childhood
Yuri Klinskikh was born in Voronezh in the family of Nikolai Mitrofanovich, an engineer at the Voronezh Aviation Plant, and Maria Kuzminichna Klinskikh. At school, Yuri studied poorly, mostly in triples, but he had an irresistible passion for music. Passion for versification was instilled in him by his father, who wrote poetry and tried to publish. Yura learned early about the existence of Western rock culture, as rock and roll was often heard in the Klinsky family. Shortly thereafter, he decided to learn the guitar on his own. Dad's lessons were not in vain, so Yura began to compose poems, from which his first songs were later formed.
Youth and early career
Klinsky served in the Far East in tank troops. Demobilized in 1984. After serving in the army, Yuri worked for three years as a traffic police inspector and one year in private security, then as a milling machine operator, a CNC machine operator at the Voronezh Videofon, a loader, and wrote songs in his spare time. He perceived his work as a hobby, not even dreaming of a big stage. After the opening of the rock club in Voronezh, he became a regular. In the spring of 1987, the club hosted a concert at which Yuri performed several songs of his own composition. For two years he performed solo or with guest musicians. The first composition of the group, called the Gas Sector, met on December 5, 1987 and changed frequently in the future. The name of the group was due to the nickname of the part of the Levoberezhny district of Voronezh, known for the tense environmental situation and the criminogenic situation. As for the pseudonym, it came from Yuri's signature cry: "Hoi!", Which he often uttered during his performances.

At first, the Gas Sector performed as an opening act for groups that came to Voronezh, such as Sounds of Mu and Children. Due to the abundance of profanity in the lyrics, the Gas Sector remained in the underground for a long time. Yuri Klinskikh in those years worked first at a consumer electronics factory, then as a loader; music did not bring income. The group did not give concerts outside Voronezh, the records of the Gas Sector were distributed throughout the country by the efforts of fans.
heyday
The group gained general fame only in 1990 after the release of the albums The Evil Dead and Vigorous Louse, which Yura sent to Moscow with the help of his friend. In 1991, the Gas Sector got the opportunity to record an album in Moscow at the Mir studio, soon the group’s recordings were published by one of the first commercial recording companies in Russia, Gala Records, after which the group’s popularity increased significantly and it was able to legally give concerts . The albums were officially released in Voronezh at the Black Box studio, and the Moscow studio Gala Records released them in 1994 and re-released them in 1997. The albums Kolkhozny Punk and Press the Gas were released in 1991 and 1993 respectively on LP, CD and cassette.
In June 1994, Yuri recorded the punk opera "Kashchei the Immortal" in the form of a new album. Later, Yuri wanted to create a video version of this album, but his death prevented this. He managed to shoot only a few scenes, and now there are video versions of the tracks on the Internet: "Ivan and the Frogs' Aria", "Ivan's Second Aria" and "Ivan's Third Aria".
Klinsky did not earn much money, due to the prosperity of "piracy", which affected the number of licensed discs sold, which is approximately 1% of the total. However, the group and its leader became quite famous in Russia and the CIS. Despite the fact that the group's later lyrics were more restrained, most fans and representatives of the music industry associated "Gas Sector" with obscene language and bawdy songs. During the creative activity, the group went on tour in many cities of Russia and abroad.
Death
On July 4, 2000, at 11 am in Voronezh, Yuri died. On this day, he was going to go to the shooting of the video clip "Night of Fear". There are many rumors about Yuri's death: according to the official version, he died of a heart attack, although he had never had any heart problems before. According to the unofficial version, Yuri took drugs and suffered from hepatitis, which was the cause of death. Until now, the true circumstances of his death remain a mystery. The last studio work of the Gas Sector group was the album HellRaiser, which was released after the death of Yuri Klinsky.
Yuri's death was preceded by strange circumstances. So, at his last concert, he tried to perform the song "Demobilization" to the soundtrack, but he failed to do this and simply left the stage. The sound engineer of the group Andrei Deltsov recommended that the same song be included in the next album when recording the last album Hellraiser (it allegedly did not fit in style), but Yuri convinced the sound engineer not to do this, fearing not to live up to the next album. In one of the songs, he also sang: “The gas sector - you won’t live to be forty here,” and by coincidence, he did not live to see the 36th anniversary of 23 days.
Personal life
- Contrary to his image as a lone rebel, Yuri "Khoi" Klinskikh was married with two daughters, Irina (b. 1986) and Lilya (b. 1995).
- In 1991, at his concert, Yuri met Olga Samarina, whom he later met, the last years of his life, without hiding this from his wife Galina. According to close people, it was Olga who addicted Yuri to drug use.
- In 1999, Yura Khoy became a character in the comic strip Yura Khoy's Adventures in the Realm of Evil. The comic consists of fabulous adventures, the hero of which is the leader of the Gas Sector, who collects his albums. The author of the comic is artist Dmitry Samborsky.
- Klinsky was never a member of any party. Despite this, the Gas Sector group performed for some time at LDPR propaganda concerts. Yuri commented on it as follows:
