Oleg was born when his parents were on a long business trip in the small Mongolian town of Choibalsan. There he spent the first year of his life, and then the family returned to Angarsk. The boy grew up and finished school already in Irkutsk.
At six, he personally chose an occupation to his liking and entered a music school without the help of his parents. Having put my mother, a teacher of Russian and literature, before the fact, I began to demand a piano. Buying a bulky tool in a small apartment, the parents almost went bankrupt.
As Oleg himself said in his interviews, he was easily given humanitarian disciplines and was very drawn to music. From an early age, he dreamed of becoming a singer or even a pianist. But he went on stage in a completely different way.
After graduation, the young man entered the Irkutsk Theater School, majoring in puppet theater actor, but Oleg always wanted to be on stage, in full view, in front of the audience. And hiding behind a screen is not his forte. In search of recognition, the young man decided to conquer the capital.
Moscow
From the first time he entered GITIS, in the workshop of Lyudmila Kasatkina. Yakovlev had good inclinations, because the guy was quickly considered in the theater world. Armen Dzhigarkhanyan himself noted the talent of the young man and invited him to his theater.
Like all young artists, Yakovlev worked part-time - first he mastered the romantic profession of a city janitor, then got a job on the radio, starred in videos and, of course, played in the theater.
Meanwhile, 1997 was on. The famous throughout the country team "Ivanushki International" left one of the soloists - Igor Sorin. He decided to pursue a solo career and no longer participated in new projects.
Castings began to fill the vacant position. Oleg also took part in one of them. He knew that he didn’t quite fit the type - the producers were looking for “small and fair”, and Yakovlev was naturally brunette, and not so short at 1.72.
In one of his interviews, the artist admitted that he was very surprised when it was he who was offered to start participating in one of the Ivanushki videos - in Doll. To get into the image, Oleg had to dye his hair blonde, which he did. For most of his time with the boy band, he renounced his natural hair color.
"Ivanushki"
Officially, he joined the team only some time later, when the tragedy with Igor Sorin had already happened. Largely because of this, the public accepted the newcomer coldly, but Oleg was sympathetic.
The artist was surprised: “Ivanushki” is shown so little on TV, but their songs are remembered and loved throughout the country, in every city they are very much expected and still adored. Over time, he also had his own horde of fans.
Yakovlev really enjoyed working as part of such a responsive team. He spoke about the importance of the fact that there are real friends around who will help, cover, if you are sick and cannot work at full strength, they will listen.
However, the young man, working in a vocal project, did not lose his acting skills. It is known that in 2010 Armen Dzhigarkhanyan called the singer to return to the theater, where his Moscow career began. But Oleg no longer saw himself in this role.
Solo
He decided to go free swimming back in 2012. Took time out to create something of my own. He was pushed to the idea by his beloved girl, Sasha Kutsevol, the same sexy brunette in a red dress who starred in his first solo video.
He said that at first he wanted to present himself as a new project and become the main character of the video for this. But then I thought that his beautiful and charming Sasha could make the product much more popular.
And things went. The song got into the rotation of radio stations, a video was released, the image changed. Now he has finally become a brunette and supposed to eventually become a kind of "Takeshi Kitano" - the most stylish Asian in Russian show business (Oleg's mother is Buryat, father is Uzbek).
Saying goodbye to "Ivanushki", after 17 years of joint work, he managed to work a little with Kirill Turichenko, who replaced him in the team. Oleg then said in an interview that the cohesion of the team is a merit of the similarity of characters and energies of all the soloists. He sincerely hoped that Cyril would easily join the team.
Oleg Yakovlev officially terminated his working contract with Ivanushki in 2013.
The same girl from the clip has been a fan of Yakovlev since she was 11 years old. But she met her idol only at the end of the tenths. The girl won the sympathy of the artist and inspired him to a new creative breakthrough. Then, in 2013, recording solo compositions, he was completely happy.
Alexandra became not only a muse, but also the director of the singer. She handled all administrative matters and she was good at it. They spent all the time together, even introduced each other to their parents.
Oleg was frank: “I am madly in love with Sasha’s parents!” They did not often visit relatives of their beloved, but they always returned from there with a bag of homemade dumplings. In moments of discord, Oleg called the parents of his beloved and feignedly complained about Sasha to her dad: “Your daughter doesn’t cook borscht for me! She knows how, but she doesn't want to! After such playful antics, the couple quickly reconciled.
Oleg Yakovlev is a Russian singer and actor, former soloist of the Ivanushki International group.Childhood and youth
Oleg Zhamsaraevich Yakovlev was born on November 18, 1969 in the Mongolian city of Choibalsan. His father, an 18-year-old military man, an Uzbek by nationality, was sent there, where he met Lyudmila, a 40-year-old teacher of Russian language and literature from Buryatia. 
A short novel followed, without a sequel. When the military command found out that their subordinate would have a child, he was persuaded to marry, but Lyudmila did not want further relations and kicked him out. Oleg never saw his father - his mother was so angry with him that she gave her son the middle name of his grandfather. Because of this, fans often wondered why Oleg did not have an Uzbek, but a Buryat middle name.
Yakovlev has two older uterine sisters (one of them died in 2010).
Oleg's mother was a Buddhist, but Oleg himself leaned towards Orthodoxy.
When Yakovlev was 5 years old, his family returned to the USSR and settled in the workers' settlement of Selenginsk in the Buryat ASSR. Here the boy entered a music school and began to learn to play the piano. He had little free time: in addition to excellent studies at school and music lessons, he managed to do athletics (he even achieved the title of Candidate Master of Sports), sang in the school choir and the House of Pioneers, and constantly pleased his mother with diplomas and medals.
Soon the family moved to Angarsk, where Oleg graduated from high school, and then to Irkutsk. There Yakovlev graduated from the local theater school, having received a diploma in the specialty "actor of the puppet theater." The thirst for the stage prompted Oleg, who was sick of hiding behind the screen of a puppeteer for the rest of his life, to go to the capital, and he applied to the Shchukin School, the Moscow Art Theater School and GITIS. He was accepted into all three, but Oleg chose the last one. But the teachers of the Irkutsk school argued that "with such an appearance, he is the place behind the screen."
The teachers of the Irkutsk school argued that "with such an appearance, he belongs behind the screen."
In the first years of his life in a big city, Yakovlev had to work as a janitor in Staropimenovskiy Lane, and after successfully studying in the workshop of Lyudmila Kasatkina, Yakovlev joined the troupe of the theater Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, but for some time he did not quit working as a janitor and combined morning cleaning of the streets with rehearsals. Oleg had a very warm relationship with the head of the theater - the guy even called Armen Borisovich "the second father." In parallel, he worked on the radio.creative way
In 1990, Oleg played his first film role - however, Yakovlev was entrusted with only an episodic role in Hussein Erkenov's drama "One Hundred Days Before the Order ...". Oleg's mentor in the theater, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, also appeared in the film, as well as Vladimir Zamansky, Oleg Vasilkov, Elena Kondulainen. But for some reason he was not drawn to the theater or the cinema. He dreamed of being an artist of a different plan. In 1996, Oleg's mother died, never knowing that her son would soon become a superstar. 
At the end of 1997, Oleg saw an advertisement in the newspaper about the search for a soloist in the Ivanushki International group. While working in the theater, he recorded two songs: "White Rosehip" from the rock opera "Juno and Avos" and "Georgia". He sent demo recordings to Ivanushki producer Igor Matvienko and received an invitation to the group.
Soon he appeared in the new video "Ivanushki" - "Doll", but only briefly, as a backing vocalist. The main violin in the video was played by the old line-up: Andrey Grigoriev-Apollonov, Kirill Andreev and Igor Sorin, Oleg Yakovlev starred. A few months later, the band's soloist Igor Sorin left the group, and Yakovlev took his place.

The first months of work in the group were not easy - Oleg went through all the stages of hatred of Sorin's fans. The new soloist was called a "cheap fake", booed and insulted on a national basis during performances, and once even beaten after a concert. Oleg had a particularly hard time after Sorin died due to injuries after falling from a window.
The anger of the fans subsided a year after the start of Yakovlev's work in the team - calm and fruitful creative work began. Oleg participated in the recording of three albums (released in 1999, 2000 and 2002), starred in more than 15 video clips, and also appeared together with Renata Litvinova in the video for Alla Pugacheva's song "River Tram" (2001).
But Oleg's acting career was not so successful - on the artist's account there were only three roles that he performed in 2006-2007: as part of his team, the guy appeared in Oleg Gusev's New Year's musical film "First Ambulance" and Oleg Fomin's force majeure comedy " Election Day”, as well as in the role of himself in the TV series “Love is not show business” with Svetlana Svetikova in the title role.
In 2012, Yakovlev decided to try himself as a soloist, and by March of the following year he finally left the group. Oleg was replaced by Ukrainian musician Kirill Turichenko.
Oleg Yakovlev - Mania
After leaving Ivanushki, Yakovlev continued his solo career. From 2013 to 2017, he recorded about 15 songs and released several video clips: “Call me after 3 champagnes”, “The sea is blue”, “In Rapid”, “New Year”, “Mania”.
Personal life of Oleg Yakovlev
Oleg lived in a civil marriage with Alexandra Kutsevol. According to the confessions of the girl, she decided to win the heart of the artist as a child. Alexandra and Oleg met in St. Petersburg, where the girl studied at the Faculty of Journalism. 
Subsequently, Kutsevol, who convinced Yakovlev to become a solo artist, became her husband's manager. She gave him self-confidence, because earlier, as Oleg himself said, he felt like the smallest of the Ivanushki, and now he has become an independent singer, Oleg Yakovlev. “This is one of the greatest achievements in my life,” Yakovlev believed.
The couple had no children, but the artist had a niece Tatyana and two great-nephews - Mark and Garik. In one of the interviews, Oleg said that he had an illegitimate son in St. Petersburg, but the artist refused to discuss this issue in detail. He also did not deny his short romance with singer Irina Dubtsova.
Death
At the end of June 2017, Yakovlev ended up in intensive care with a diagnosis of "bilateral pneumonia caused by cirrhosis of the liver." On the 29th, at 7:05 am, the 47-year-old singer died of sudden cardiac arrest.The death of Oleg Yakovlev came as a complete surprise to his relatives and fans. 10 days before his death, he posted on his Instagram a touching photo in a doctor's coat, signing it: "Congratulations on the day of the medical worker to all my doctor friends, thanks to whom I am alive and well." The singer's fans were amazed by this tragic coincidence.
The last song of Oleg Yakovlev, released during his lifetime, "Jeans", hit the radio exactly two weeks before his death.
Farewell to Oleg took place in the Necropolis at the Troekurovsky cemetery in Moscow, where his ashes were buried.
After the death of the singer, experts estimated his property at 200 million rubles. He had a spacious 4-room apartment in Moscow, which he bought in 2003, real estate in St. Petersburg and Montenegro, several cars.
The main contenders for the inheritance were Oleg's niece Tatyana and his civil wife. However, the name of Alexandra Kutsevol was not in the will. “There are only two heirs: me and another person, I won’t say his name,” Tatyana said. In March 2018, his friend, actor Roman Radov, joined the race for Yakovlev's inheritance. It turns out that they bought one of Oleg's apartments together.

Biography
By his own admission, Oleg Yakovlev, he became a member of the Ivanushki International group almost by accident. And at first, not all fans of the most popular musical group of the 1990s accepted the new member favorably. After all Oleg Yakovlev took the place of Igor Sorin who tragically passed away just a few months later.
However, over many years of successful work in the group, Oleg Yakovlev could not help but win the hearts of the audience with his positive image, obvious optimism and bright warm smile. And when Oleg Yakovlev left Ivanushki for the sake of a solo career, it was a big disappointment for many female fans.
As a young man, Yakovlev received the specialty "actor of the puppet theater", after which he went to the capital, entered the Moscow GITIS and got into the workshop of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. Oleg called the great artist his second father and teacher. But, having worked in his theater for some time, he received a non-winning, in the opinion of a young actor, role. And then I saw an ad on TV that a certain group was looking for a new soloist.
Oleg Yakovlev and the Ivanushki International group in 1998
According to Oleg, he did not hope for anything and even forgot about the old recording sent to the studio. However, this particular record, out of hundreds and hundreds of others, interested in the producer of the group Igor Matvienko. And after a month of "trial period" Oleg Yakovlev became a full member of one of the most successful Russian pop groups at that time.
With Oleg Yakovlev, Ivanushki recorded their loudest hits: "Poplar Fluff", "Bullfinches", "Roar", "Golden Clouds", "Hopelessness.ru". Both the image and the character of Oleg made up a good contrast with the other two members of the group, Kirill Andreev and Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov. And after fifteen years of working together "Ivanushki" and Oleg Yakovlev broke up amicably, periodically continuing to work together.
Regarding his solo career, Oleg Yakovlev was full of ideas, energy and creative plans for the future. His undertakings were supported in every possible way by his common-law wife, Alexandra Kutsevol, with whom the singer lived for many years and planned to marry legally in the future. No one could have imagined that bilateral pneumonia in a matter of months would lead first to hospitalization, and then to the death of this smiling, energetic and, it seemed, forever young artist. Oleg Yakovlev died at the age of 47 from cardiac arrest. Relatives of the artist abandoned the traditional funeral, preferring cremation to them.
Cause of death of Oleg Yakovlev
The sudden death of such a young and seemingly healthy artist could not help but bring to life the most diverse versions of the true background of the circumstances of his death. So Yakovlev's friend and colleague in the Ivanushki group, Kirill Andreev, suggested that the fact that he had smoked a lot and for a long time played a role in Oleg's sharp deterioration in health. Some rumors cited the unhealthy lifestyle of the artist as a whole as the cause of death. However, the singer's common-law wife, Alexandra Kutsevol, said that self-medication and Yakovlev's categorical refusal to seek medical help were to blame until it came to emergency hospitalization.

Iosif Prigogine, producer
On the morning of June 29, Oleg Yakovlev, a former member of the Ivanushki International group, died. He was 47 years old. The death of the performer was announced by the common-law wife of the artist Alexander Kutsevol, who posted a sad post on her page on the social network.
“Today at 7:05 am, the main Man of my life, my Angel, my Happiness, was gone .... How am I now without you? .. Fly, Oleg! I am always with you,” Alexandra wrote.
Earlier, the performer was hospitalized in one of the Moscow hospitals in serious condition. Oleg Yakovlev was connected to a ventilator. Doctors diagnosed him with bilateral pneumonia.
The cause of Yakovlev's death was called alcoholism
Friends of the former soloist of the Ivanushki International group Oleg Yakovlev, who died on June 29 at the age of 47, believe that alcohol ruined him.
"His main problem was alcohol. As far as I saw Oleg, he was always tipsy, it started back when he was in the Ivanushki group," said the former director of the t.A.T.u group Leonid Dzyunik. - At events, tours - let's say, we fly in an airplane - he always drank. Everyone sleeps on board, they are tired, and he is either champagne or cognac."
“Oleg was lucky, he was accepted into a popular group. And then alcohol began. And he was asked from the group precisely for this reason. Oleg was a rather reserved person, kept to himself,” says Dzyunik. “Green Serpent” is his misfortune. that after "Ivanushki" he did not receive the popularity he had hoped for, only exacerbated his bad habit. He had a diseased liver, cirrhosis, and it was absolutely impossible for him to drink. But he could not overcome alcohol addiction. Although he tried. In this and lies the cause of his early death.
“Oleg left Ivanushki to sing what he was interested in, to perform solo,” recalls singer Nikita. “But from talking with him, it became clear to me that it was very difficult to promote creativity in our show market. It was hard. Oleg was worried that after the noisy fame he was out of work. His songs were not taken on the radio. And hence the psychoses and breakdowns. He was very vulnerable. "
Yakovlev hosted the program on the Russian Musicbox channel. “I was Oleg’s last guest on this program,” said singer Katya Lel. “What did Oleg look like? Not really ... I noticed that he had very yellow whites of his eyes, it was noticeable. And he behaved somehow strange not quite natural. Not like a healthy person."
Before Yakovlev's death, it was known that doctors diagnosed him with bilateral pneumonia with complications. During hospitalization, the condition of the 47-year-old artist was assessed as extremely serious. The singer was connected to a ventilator, but, unfortunately, the doctors could not save his life.
According to his girlfriend Alexandra Kutsevol, Yakovlev never regained consciousness after feeling worse.
Biography of Oleg Yakovlev
Yakovlev was born on November 18, 1969 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, where his parents were on a business trip. From childhood he studied music, studied at a music school.
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 news of the death on June 29 of the former soloist of the Ivanushki International group, Oleg Yakovlev, stunned everyone: young, in his prime ... The official cause of death is cardiac arrest due to bilateral pneumonia. Friends believe: in fact, cirrhosis of the liver is to blame. Many have noticed that Oleg is too indifferent to alcohol.
"Cursed Place"
Oleg Yakovlev came to conquer Moscow from Irkutsk. He graduated from GITIS, worked in the theater of Armen Dzhigarkhanyan. Popular fame covered him in 1998, when he joined the Ivanushki International group.
Now they are talking about mysticism - they say that Oleg was taken to the “cursed place” instead of the soloist Igor Sorin, who died tragically and early. Some warned then: the one who comes instead of Igor will not be good, - says the lead singer of the Na-Na group Mikhail Igonin. - Oleg himself was ironic about prejudices, he was a believer and did not pay attention to mysticism. And what could be the curse?
Oleg left Ivanushki for free swimming in 2012 to sing what he is interested in, to perform solo, - recalls singer Nikita. - But from conversations with him, it became clear to me that promoting creativity in our show market is very difficult. And he had a hard time with it. Oleg had very sad eyes, even if he was joking and having fun. His latest album is very interesting! But he did not find the proper response. Oleg was worried that after the noisy fame he was out of work. His songs were not taken on the radio. And hence the psychoses and breakdowns. He was very vulnerable.
Alcohol was his main problem. As far as I saw Oleg, he was always tipsy, it started back when he was in the Ivanushki group, - Leonid Dzyunik, the former director of the t.A.T.u group, told KP. - At events, tours - say, we fly in an airplane - he always drank. Everyone is sleeping on board, tired, and he is either champagne or cognac. Oleg was lucky, he was accepted into a popular group. And then the alcohol started. And he was asked from the group precisely on this occasion. Oleg was a rather reserved person, kept to himself. The "Green Serpent" is his misfortune. And the fact that after "Ivanushki" he did not receive the popularity he had hoped for only exacerbated his bad habit. He had a diseased liver, cirrhosis, and he was absolutely not allowed to drink. But he failed to overcome alcohol addiction. Although he tried. This is the reason for his early death.
"He had yellow whites of his eyes"
I called Oleg's common-law wife Alexandra Kutsevol, who was also his director.
Oleg was sick, but worked out concerts, - Sasha told about the last days of the singer. - He tried to hold on, as he used to in Ivanushki: the temperature is not the temperature, it doesn’t matter what happened in life, but you have to go on stage. He performed in any condition. And he did it until the last day.
Did he know he was unwell?
I knew, but I thought it was not serious. I was sick, coughing, I thought it was a cold. He self-medicated - drank cough pills. And it turned out that he had bilateral pneumonia. Launched. He was connected to the ventilation of the lungs, but it did not help.
- Did he go to the doctors?
No. Didn't want to - character! Came back when things got really bad. And that was barely persuaded. He began to choke, he could not breathe. And I could hardly walk. They called an ambulance.
- Which of the relatives did he have left?
There is no one alive.
Did he leave a will?
Don't know. Now is not up to it. Of course he wasn't going to die!
On the Russian Musicbox channel, the ex-soloist of Ivanushki International Oleg Yakovlev hosted the program together with his common-law wife Sasha (Alexandra was a professional TV presenter in the past, she worked on the Muz-TV channel).
I was Oleg's last guest in this program. Really the last one. It’s even creepy, ”singer Katya Lel told KP. - What did Oleg look like? Not really... I noticed that he had very yellow whites of his eyes, it was noticeable. And he behaved in a strange way, not quite natural. Not like a healthy person.
When I found out that he was admitted to the hospital, for some reason, a bad feeling immediately appeared, - says singer Nikita. - But I drove him away and sent a text message to his wife Sasha: “Is everything all right with Olezhka?” Oleg was lucky that he met such a beautiful girl. Too bad they didn't make it with the kids. I asked Sasha: when will you give birth? She answered: “Soon, soon, while we have creative projects!” It was clear that they loved each other.
HELP "KP"
Oleg YAKOVLEV was born in Mongolia. His mother was from Buryatia, his father was from Uzbekistan. When he was five years old, the family moved to Buryatia, in the village of Selenginsk, and his childhood passed. There he took his first steps to the stage - he studied at the music school in the piano class. Then the family moved to Angarsk, where Yakovlev graduated from high school, and then entered the Irkutsk Theater School as a puppet theater actor. In 1989, the artist moved to Moscow.

Irkutsk actress Elena Grishchenko told Komsomolskaya Pravda what the singer was like in his student years
Fans of the popular Russian pop group Ivanushki International still cannot believe the death of one of the brightest members, Oleg Yakovlev. The singer died on June 29 at the age of 47 from pneumonia. I was also shocked by this news in Irkutsk, where Oleg Yakovlev, the future star of the Ivanushki International group, studied at the theater school and worked for four months in the puppet theater. Here the singer passed not only the best student years, but also began an artistic career. And here he left many friends, and the first, by his own admission, love. This is the actress of the Irkutsk Youth Theater Elena Grishchenko.
