VYACHESLAV BUTUSOV. ON THE BANK OF THE UNNAMED RIVER
If you ask the generation of the late 1980s and early turbulent 1990s who they are, many would answer that everything is said by these two words. Then he became not even a symbol, but rather a kind of messenger of rock music, who boldly challenged dullness, inferiority and mediocrity, “spraying” an atmosphere of heady freedom among fans.
Through cities and towns
Undoubtedly, the group "Nautilus Pompilius" - concepts and phenomena are inseparable. The songs “I want to be with you”, “Goodbye, America”, “Bound in one chain”, “Wings”, “Breath”, “Tutankhamun”, “On the bank of a nameless river”, “Walking on water” with simple and soulful at the same time -associative texts forever remain in memory. And today it is enough for Butusov to go silently on stage, the audience will sing for him.
Born in the suburbs of Krasnoyarsk in 1961. Parents arrived there on a Komsomol ticket, while a grandiose construction of a hydroelectric power station was underway. 
Father was often sent from one city to another, so the family had to move from place to place, and Vyacheslav was forced to change more than one school in his childhood. Of course, on the one hand, these circumstances traumatized the boy's psyche, but on the other hand, they expanded his horizons and stimulated his imagination.
Vyacheslav's mother worked at the Philharmonic, and this greatly contributed to the development of Butusov's musical preferences. He had the opportunity to regularly attend concerts of popular Soviet singers of that era. And the first domestic rock band that he happened to hear live was Alexander Gradsky's "Skomorokhi". Vyacheslav always remembered how the rockers took the stage in crumpled clothes and with disheveled hair, thereby causing shock among the majority of the audience.
Butusov's musical tastes were also influenced by the appearance of a tape recorder in the family. He could spend hours on cassettes with records of rockers, among which most of all were songs legendary band Led Zeppelin.
Young rhymer Butusov
IN school years Vyacheslav took the first steps in writing poetry, and, as he later admitted, in order not to learn Pushkin's poetry. It was difficult for him to come up with poems that had to be learned by heart as part of literature lessons. Then the young man decided that he needed to start writing his own. The teacher allowed him 
to memorize the poetry of Alexander Sergeevich in exchange for the fact that Butusov will read his creation in class. This is how children's pampering led to the creation of lyrics, and later music, when Vyacheslav's parents bought a guitar. At school he collected musical group BIGVIRUS, with which his musical career began.
Having received a secondary education, Butusov went to Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg), where he entered the architectural institute. According to a long-standing Soviet tradition, students were involved in the autumn harvest. And when, after the next workday, the youth gathered and sang songs with a guitar, Vyacheslav really wanted to perform something from The Rolling Stones. But the freshman did not know the words, so he had to mutter something unintelligible to the guitar chords, but the guys listened, mouths wide open in amazement. Vyacheslav understood that you couldn’t last long on such a deception, so he began to compose his own music in order to keep the attention of the “audience”.
Student "Moving"
At one of these gatherings, Vyacheslav met his future wife- Marina. Literally a month later, young people began to live together, then got married, and in the summer of 1980 
their daughter Anna was born.
Despite studying at the institute and family concerns, Vyacheslav found time for creativity and regularly went to rehearsals with other musicians. At the institute, he met Dmitry Umetsky, who was also passionate about music. He knew well English language and had a lot of scarce records. Vyacheslav and Dmitry often got together, picked up melodies on guitars and composed their own songs. Before graduating from the institute, the newly-minted musicians recorded their first amateur album, which they called "Moving".
Birth of the Nautilus
After receiving a diploma, Butusov got a job in his specialty, he was hired as an architect at a design institute. Vyacheslav, among other specialists, was involved in the development of the Sverdlovsk metro. Free from work and household duties, Butusov and Umetsky spent time in the city rock club. Then Vyacheslav seriously thought about creating his own group. At the family council, they decided that it was worth starting with the purchase of a good guitar. To do this, Marina handed over to the pawnshop all her gold jewelry. This was her contribution to the creation 
"Nautilus Pompilius". The first songs of the group were played on that guitar, and most of them were dedicated to Marina.
Architectural Institute donated Vyacheslav Butusov another fateful meeting - with Ilya Kormiltsev, who wrote poetry for most of the Nautilus hits. Although their creative tandem did not develop immediately. In the spring of 1985, the group recorded the album "Invisible", and a year later the collection "Separation" appeared. He was destined to thunder all over huge country and cover it with a wave of "nautilus mania". This album made it clear to the musicians that creativity cannot be done casually, it requires a professional approach.
sharp turn
He retired from the design institute and devoted himself entirely to music. Dmitry Umetsky did the same, and after many years he recalled that this decision was not easy for both of them. Butusov and Umetsky had children growing up, it was necessary to have a stable income, and rock and roll in the Soviet Union was associated almost with swearing. But priorities were set, and only glory was dreaming ahead.
For two years, the Nautilus Pompilius group toured almost continuously, and suddenly, at the end of 1988, Vyacheslav decides to disband the team and return to joint work with Dmitry Umetsky, who left the group a few months earlier. Work began on the project "The Man with No Name", a soundtrack was recorded, but the paths of the founders of "Nautilus Pompilius" diverged again.
Petersburg period
During these years, Vyacheslav spends more and more time in St. Petersburg and Moscow, appearing at home less and less often. Frequent tours 
and remoteness from each other could not but affect family relationships, and at the turn of the 1980-90s, the union of Vyacheslav and Marina became obsolete. They decided to file for divorce.
Butusov spends 1990 in the machinations of the new Nautilus Pompilius band, then the group records the album Born on This Night and goes on tour again. "Petersburg" period of creativity Vyacheslav Butusov reflected in the albums "Alien Earth", "Titanic" and "Wings", which were released almost one by one.
In the northern capital, Vyacheslav met a young art historian, Anzhelika Estoeva, who became his second wife. In 1991, a daughter, Ksenia, was born in the family - exactly 11 years after the birth of Butusov's eldest daughter.
Goodbye, Nautilus
But, despite the popularity of "Nautilus Pompilius" and the acquired status of the stars of the rock scene, the team still broke up. The last discs of the group were Yablokoitay, 
which was created by Yuri Butusov and Ilya Komiltsev with the participation of, and an album of previously unreleased songs "Atlantis". By the way, compositions from these collections were performed in famous movie Alexei Balabanov "Brother", where Butusov played a small cameo role. This film again raised the Nautilus Pompilius group to the top of fame, but Vyacheslav then clearly decided for himself that creative potential exhausted within the framework of the team, he will not be able to create something new and interesting, so he dismissed the Nautilus. The last concert of the group took place at the end of 1997.
free will
Vyacheslav directed his energy to a solo channel, and also took up joint projects with other rock musicians. With a former member of the group Yuri Kasparyan, he released the album "Illegally Born", in 1998 - the disc "Ovals". And the song "Gibraltar-Labrador", written by Vyacheslav Butusov 
for Boris Grebenshchikov's Terrarium project.
Together with the group Deadushki, the album "Elizobarra-torr" was recorded, the most popular song of which was the composition "Nastasya". Soon Vyacheslav released another disc ("Star bastard") together with the musicians of the Kino group.
And in the fall of 2001, the musical sky appeared a new group Vyacheslav Butusov- Yu-Peter. Significant figures gathered in the team Russian rock- Yuri Kasparyan, Oleg Sakmarov (from) and Evgeny Kulakov (from Nesterov's Loop). The musicians recorded several albums - "The Name of the Rivers", "Biography", "Praying Mantis", "Flowers and Thorns", "Gudgora".
Architect-writer Vyacheslav Butusov
Now the musician gives the impression of a balanced, wise and calm person. He himself admits that he became so thanks to his wife Angelica. Exactly 
she helped him cope with the age-old vices of rock musicians. In addition to Ksenia, another daughter was born in the family - Sophia, and in 2005 Angelica gave Vyacheslav Butusov long-awaited son Daniel.
In 2007, Vyacheslav, as they say, took up the pen. Literary debut became the book "Virgostan", and a few months later another book was published - "Antidepressant. Co-Seeking" - a joint project with playwright Nikolai Yakimchuk.
Butusov called the third book "Archia". Angelica helped him work on the final part of it, so the lines were born: “To survive in this world, you need to have a steady desire for eternal life and the secret of eternal life is in love.”
DATA
In the Sverdlovsk apartment Vyacheslav Butusov there was a whole "iconostasis", which consisted of photographs of Western rock stars. In the hallway guests were greeted by a large poster Kiss bands. In those years, Vyacheslav sometimes approached the photograph of the band's musicians 
and dreamily said: “I wish I could sing with them on the same stage!” A few years later, the musician's dream came true.
After moving from Sverdlovsk Vyacheslav settled not in St. Petersburg, but in its suburb - Pushkin. It was there that the legendary video of the DDT group for the song “What is Autumn” was filmed. In him Butusov also took part, walking with Yuri Shevchuk and Konstantin Kinchev through the leaf-strewn park.

Vyacheslav's childhood passed in constant moving, connected with professional activity the head of the family - Gennady Dmitrievich. The boy's mother, Nadezhda Konstantinovna, devoted herself to raising her son and hearth. After graduating from the ninth grade, Vyacheslav Butusov entered the Sverdlovsk Institute of Architecture, where he was involved in the design of the subway.
The first steps to national glory
One of Vyacheslav's hobbies was music, which allowed him to liberate himself, to give free rein to emotions. The passion for art brought the newly minted student to fellow student Dmitry Umetsky, who, like Butusov, was fond of music. In their free time, the guys played the guitar, sang author's songs, dreamed of a big stage.
In the last year of the institute, Vyacheslav and Dmitry wrote down debut album called "The Move". The record was a failure, perhaps due to lack of experience. At the same time, Butusov met Ilya Kormiltsev, with whom he began to work on the next album. In 1985, the musician's first professional disc, Invisible, was presented.
Unfortunately, after graduating from the university, Butusov went to work in his profession. For creative nature future star Soviet rock These were Hard times, which are comparable to hard labor.
Only on weekends did Vyacheslav give vent to his emotions at a local rock club, where he performed with Umetsky. A year later, the guys presented the second joint disc called "Separation". This time the album was successful. With the first success, the musicians came to the realization that it was time to put an end to routine, meaningless work and switch to professional level in music.
Vyacheslav and Dmitry chose the name for their group "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves", but it turned out to be not sonorous. Soon the guys renamed the team to Nautilus Pompilius. In total, there were four participants in the group, and Andrey Sadnov, Igor Goncharov, Alexander Zarubin joined the already well-known Butusov and Umetsky.
In 1987, the Nautilus Pompilius group went on a tour that lasted for several years. During constant travel and concerts, Vyacheslav decided to disband the team of musicians. A month before this difficult decision, Umetsky left. After some deliberation, Butusov suggested that Dmitry create a new brainchild, The Man Without a Name, to which the musician agreed. But the reunion turned out to be short-lived, the friends again went their separate ways.
Finest hour of the legendary band
Throughout 1990, Butusov was looking for new members of the Nautilus Pompilius team. Gathering a team of talented like-minded people, the musician began to record new albums: "Wings", "Titanic", "Alien Earth". In March 1995, the rock band performed at the Gorbunov Palace of Culture, where a huge number of fans gathered. No less successful was the performance at the Lennauchfilm film studio.
At the end of 1996, Butusov, together with Kormiltsev, recorded the penultimate disc "Apple China". Englishman Bill Nelson also took part in the creation of the album. Following this work, the world heard the collection "Atlantis", which included songs that were in the archive folder.
Unexpected news for Nautilus fans was the statement by the leader of the group Vyacheslav about the termination of the project. In June 1997, the last concert the legendary team that took place at the State Central Concert Hall "Russia".
Interesting Notes:
After him, the musicians went on their last tour. This ended the life of the Nautilus Pompilius group. The hits of the top band of the 90s sounded in popular painting"Brother". In this film, Butusov played episodic role, trying himself as an actor.
In the second part of the legendary tape about the life of Danila Bagrov, played, one of the most popular songs"Nautilus Pompilius" - "Gibraltar - Labrador".
A new round in the work of the musician
In 1997, Butusov went to solo swimming. A year later, the musician presented the duet album "Illegally Born ...", recorded with ex-member of the Kino group Yuri Kasparyan, as well as the solo disc Ovals. At the beginning of the 2000s, Vyacheslav began active cooperation with the Deadushki team, with whom he recorded the electronic rock album Elizobarra-Torra.
The song "Nastasya" from this album for a short time became popular, and the video quickly gained a record number of views. In 2001, fate brought Butusov together with the musicians of Viktor Tsoi, who died in the 90s. The newly minted team of talented and confident musicians presented the fresh album "Star bastard". New project Vyacheslav called "U-Piter", and it included: Evgeny Kulakov, Oleg Sakmarov, Georgy Kasparyan.
In 2003, Sakmarov decided to leave the project, and a year later, Yu-Piter presented the next record, Biographics. In 2005, Butusov received a personalized plate at the Muz-TV award, winning in the nomination "For Contribution to the Development of Domestic Rock Music." The group's third album was released in 2008 and was called "Mantis".
It took Butusov and the guys from U-Piter two years to record the fourth disc, Flowers and Thorns. Gradually, the popularity of the band faded away, he was left with only loyal fans who believed in the heyday of the once famous group. Five years of painstaking work and fans of Vyacheslav's work waited for the fifth album of Yu-Piter, called Goodgora.
In February 2017, Vyacheslav announced the termination musical activity group "Yu-Peter". This happened in Chelyabinsk, where Butusov made another statement, confessing to the large-scale preparations for the celebration of the anniversary of the Nautilus Pompilius, which turns 35 years old. To do this, he needs to gather new and old musicians to show everyone the power of the legendary band.
Finding happiness
Vyacheslav met his first wife while studying at the Sverdlovsk Institute. Although Marina studied in a different specialty, she noticed a bright young man from the Faculty of Architecture. Six months later, the young students tied the knot. In 1980, they became parents, their daughter Anna was born.
After 13 years life together, Butusov told his wife that he had met another girl who changed his horizons. The parting was difficult due to the fact that the musician left a short letter on the bedside table, where he succinctly explained the situation, and did not personally confess. New darling Vyacheslav's name was Anzhelika Estoeva, the young girl had no idea who her man was.
In 1991, Vyacheslav and Angelica had a daughter, Ksenia. Eight years later, Sophia was born, who was born on the same day as her half-sister Anna - July 31.
In 2005, Butusov became a father for the fourth time, now he has an heir - his son Daniel. In December 2013, Vyacheslav tried on new status- grandfathers, Ksenia gave her father a granddaughter, who was named Divna.
Childhood
Due to the specifics of the father's work, the Butusov family was often forced to move from city to city. As a result, Vyacheslav constantly changed not only houses, but schools. Up to ninth grade future musician studied in different Siberian cities, for example, Krasnoyarsk, Khanty-Mansiysk, Surgut. But after the end of the nine-year period, Butusov moved and settled in Sverdlovsk (Yekaterinburg). Immediately he entered the Sverdlovsk Architectural Institute.At the same time, Vyacheslav Butusov begins to get involved in music. However, he listened to everything that was played on the radio "Voice" and "Youth". But addictions were formed at school, when in the seventh grade the future star got a tape recorder. Then more other bands on cassettes were Led Zeppelin.
First steps to glory
Already in the first year, Vyacheslav Butusov met Dmitry Umetsky. The young man turned out to be a fellow student. Both were seriously passionate about music and more than once got together and played. It turned out that Slava has a pretty good voice, but Dmitry has good English, and, besides, there are a lot of scarce records. Newly-born musicians picked up melodies, Western Led Zeppelin and Credence Water Rival, as well as domestic Konstantin Nikolsky and Sunday and Time Machine, were in favor.In their final years, students recorded an amateur album called "Moving". However, he was not very successful. Immediately Vyacheslav met with Ilya Kormiltsev. Together with him, Butusov recorded the first professional disc in 1985. She was called "Invisible".
The all-consuming passion for music did not prevent Butusov from graduating from the institute. And then workdays began - Vyacheslav worked in design institute architect. By the way, the musician designed the Sverdlovsk metro. And as he later explained, "this affected the sick appearance of the interior of some of the stations."
Vyacheslav Butusov - I want to be with you.
Life was routine and hopeless. Every morning Slava went to work, but free time spent together with Umetsky in the Sverdlovsk rock club.
The next fruit of the tandem appeared a year later - the album "Separation". It was he who laid the foundation for the all-Russian popularity of the Nautilus Pompilius group. “Separation” showed the musicians that it is no longer possible to “run away” to creativity, they need to be dealt with professionally. Dmitry Umetsky recalled that the choice was not easy for both. After all, both had already raised children, and besides, rock was almost an obscene word in the country. However, the priorities were set, and the musicians wrote a statement on own will about leaving the main job.
In 1987, a boom began around the album "Separation". And "Nautilus Mania" covered almost the entire country. The next two years continued uninterrupted touring marathon. But at the end of 1988, Butusov officially disbanded the group and decided to resume work on joint work with Umetsky, who had left the band a few months earlier. Throughout 1989, the comrades are working on the project “The Man with No Name”, recording the soundtrack, and then the founders of “Nau” scatter a second time. At this time, Butusov is trying to live in two cities - Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Nautilus Pompilius
The whole of 1990, Vyacheslav devotes to the search for a new team "Nau", releases the album "Born on This Night" and goes on tour. A year later, Butusov marries Angelica from Leningrad and moves to northern capital. From this moment begins the "Petersburg" stage of the musician. During this time, he wrote the songs that make up the albums "Alien Earth", "Titanic", "Wings". It was these records that determined the modern musical image of the band.Interview with Vyacheslav Butusov
However, the era of "Nautilus" ends in 1997. Then Vyacheslav Butusov began solo career and together with Yuri Kasparyan (ex-Kino) recorded the album Illegitimate, and a year later the disc Ovals.

Personal life of Vyacheslav Butusov:
Was married twice.
First wife - Marina Dobrovolskaya-Butusova, costume designer, journalist. They met at the Sverdlovsk Architectural Institute, where they studied together, but at different faculties. Less than six months after they met, they got married. They lived together for 13 years.
In 1980, their daughter Anna was born.
They divorced when Butusov had another. Marina recalled: “Now I’m talking about this without tragedy: I understand that everything went on as usual. But who knows how life will turn out, in advance! And then I couldn’t understand: how they changed me - so beautiful, so smart ? IN last time Butusov came home to Sverdlovsk, and we communicated evenly. And the month before parting was generally like a honeymoon. When Slava left, I found a letter from him on a shelf in the hallway. Again, now I understand that it was Right words: “Marina, I don’t want you to cry, to get upset and worry in vain, but I want you to live your life. I'm filing for divorce." They divorced us very quickly - we didn’t even have time to come to our senses: the registry office staff saw Butusov and in one day they issued everything. Children were not even mentioned, although a child can only be divorced through a court. Slava was allowed to simply write a refusal letter. So 13 years of marriage ended with one indifferent stroke.

About his second wife, Butusov said that he found himself only when he met Angelica: “At the age of fifty, I realized that for the entire first half, relatively speaking, of this series, I was in some kind of gaseous state and materialized only when this meeting took place.
