On Saturday night, Alexander Tikhanovich, ex-soloist of the Verasy ensemble and husband of Yadviga Poplavskaya, died in a hospital in Minsk.
The daughter of artists Anastasia Tikhanovich wrote about the death of her father in social networks:
- Tonight my Dad passed away ... We thank everyone who was there during his amazing journey. We thank everyone who prayed and supported him in his last and very difficult year ...
- I know that he would ask to thank all of you for your love, which was mutual, - added Anastasia Tikhanovich.
Alexander Tikhanovich since 1973 sang in the VIA "Verasy", which, like "Pesnyary" and "Syabry", was the hallmark of the Belarusian stage in the Soviet Union.
In 1988, Tikhanovich, together with his wife Jadwiga Poplavskaya, organized the Song Theater, which was later transformed into a production center named after them.
A few years ago, Tikhanovich and Poplavskaya gave a frank interview to our publication, where they shared interesting stories from their lives. For example:
- There was a funny story on the cruise. In 1994, in Barcelona, Tikhanovich shared, he got off the ship. I asked the locals where money can be exchanged. I was sent to a nearby hotel. After the cash register, I stand at the hotel, count the bills and figure out what I will buy: “I need a T-shirt, sneakers, jeans can be ...” I look - the boots stood next to me. I raise my head - a policeman. “Passport,” he says, “come on.” But I don’t have a passport - I stayed on the ship. Me - on the bus, where strange-looking Latinos are already sitting. He hides one piece of hashish in his sock, the other is covered in tattoos. There was a Cuban who, it turned out, studied in Russia and understands our language. He tells me: “Call your people on the ship - let them confirm that you are their tourist. Otherwise, they will pick you up, punch you in the neck and send you out of the country. And don’t lean out at all, be quiet.” I saw a bit later when one guy got hit in the neck for chattering with a stick. And I decided to heed the advice of my fellow traveler. At the entrance to the site, the bus was packed with dubious types to the eyeballs. And during the interrogation, it was saved by the fact that I kept the check and showed it to the police. They contacted the exchange office, and they confirmed that I was a tourist from the ship. And then one of the law enforcement officers noticed a package with me, on which there was an image of me and Yadya, and realized that they were getting somewhere in the wrong place. They took me to another room and offered me some wine. I said I don't drink. But he asked me to smoke a cigarette. They allowed. Then they put me on the same bus and took me to the place where they had taken me from. After this incident, the desire to come to Spain again did not disappear from me, but once and for all I understood: abroad without a passport - nowhere.
At the age of 64, the famous Soviet and Belarusian singer, former soloist of the VIA "Verasy" Alexander Tikhanovich died. The cause of death was a serious illness.
On January 28, at the age of 65 in Minsk, a famous musician, People's Artist of Belarus, formerly one of the founders and soloist of the popular VIA "Verasy", Alexander Tikhanovich, died of a serious illness.
This was reported by the daughter of the late Anastasia Tikhanovich.
"Tonight my dad passed away. We thank everyone who was there for him throughout his amazing life. We thank everyone who prayed and supported him in his last and very difficult year. I know that he would ask to thank you all for your love that was mutual," Tikhanovich's daughter wrote on social media.
Alexander Grigoryevich Tikhanovich was born on July 13, 1952 in Minsk.
He studied at the Suvorov Military School. It was there that he began to go to classes in a brass band, played the tuba. “It fascinated me so much that I simply did not part with the instrument! In addition, we had excellent teachers - truly gifted people. In general, my passion for music began with the Suvorov School,” he recalled.
He graduated from the wind department (trumpet) of the Belarusian Conservatory.
In 1971-1973 he served in the army.
After demobilization in 1973, he began to play in the Minsk ensemble, where Belarusian musicians already known at that time performed - Valery Daineko (later he went to Pesnyary), Vasily Rainchik (after some time he became the leader in Verasy) .
Then the Minsk group, which played jazz, was closed. And he began to look for a new team.
Became a member of the popular Minsk VIA in the 1970-1980s "Verases". In the ensemble he played bass guitar and trumpet, performed vocal parts. Yadviga Poplavskaya, who later became the wife of Tikhanovich, was also a member of the Verasy ensemble.
He worked with the famous American singer Dean Reed - "Verasy" accompanied him during his tour at BAM, then they went on a big tour of the USSR with him.
"It was a wonderful time! On the one hand, everything was very difficult, but on the other hand, we could take master classes with foreign stars who studied in Hollywood. So we managed to work with Dean Reed. It was in 1979 ... It was all on such enthusiasm, words cannot be expressed: we lived in some kind of tents, strange places, broken roads along which we constantly moved. There were also box office concerts - in Moscow, Minsk, Kiev ... "
In 1986, Poplavskaya and Tikhanovich were forced to leave the Veras, and in 1987 they got into the newly organized State Orchestra of Belarus conducted by Mikhail Finberg.
After winning the Song 88 contest with the song Lucky Chance (music by Eduard Khank, lyrics by Larisa Rubalskaya), together with Poplavskaya, he created a duet of the same name.
Later, on the basis of the Lucky Case duet, a group of the same name was formed, in which Tikhanovich played bass guitar and was a vocalist. The group participated in the Golden Lyre festival (Republic of Belarus), toured Russia, Belarus, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Germany, Yugoslavia, Poland, Hungary, Finland, France, Canada and Israel.

Personal life of Alexander Tikhanovich:
He was married to singer Jadwiga Poplavskaya.
As Alexander said, Yadviga was his love at first sight: “By the time we first met, I was already a more or less popular musician. When I served in the army in 1973, I immediately went to play in the Minsk ensemble ... She played in the jazz-rock style, we really liked it, so we also started playing in that direction. But, you know, what kind of jazz-rock with the name "Minsk" could be in the Soviet Union? As soon as the group began to gain serious momentum, "someone wrote an angry letter to the Ministry of Culture, saying that this music is alien to us, it does not bring anything good. They responded to the appeal promptly, and we were soon closed. That's why I was just in search of a new band. At that time, "Verasy" were already operating for several years, however, exclusively by a girl group. All the girls studied at the conservatory and were good musicians, but over time they decided to add men as well. Once I got to their rehearsal, and I immediately liked Yadya Poplavskaya incredibly. Very fragile, all so concentrated .. .I realized it was her."
The couple had a daughter in 1980 - the Belarusian singer Anastasia Tikhanovich, she has a son, Ivan.
