It’s just that the band’s recently published statement shocked everyone - 30-year-old singer Kirill Turichenko, a participant in the Voice of Ukraine show, officially took the place of Oleg Yakovlev.
About the split male group the rumor began in early February 2013, when lightning-fast news was launched at one of the social parties - Oleg Yakovlev decided to devote himself to a solo career. What caused such a sharp turn on creative path one of “Ivanushki”?
Of course, female charm, under the pressure of which Yakovlev could not stand and surrendered to those developing for the good family life circumstances.
Alexandra Kutsevol, a fairly well-known journalist, has remained the object of Oleg Yakovlev’s courtship for 10 years. She always supported Oleg in everything and continues to offer her beloved the reliable shoulder of a faithful friend.
Just once, after talking with Oleg, in the past an active fan, in the future Yakovlev’s wife Alexandra persuaded her lover to record a solo composition. Yakovlev readily agreed, because after 40 years he became depressed, and he simply did not know what to do with it.

In order to somehow thank his beloved, Yakovlev decides to make a video reminiscent of Oleg’s directorial/cinematographer debut, in which Alexandra herself starred. Oleg emphasized that the flickering moments on the beach and at home belong to him; he was filming his beloved in the Maldives, when the couple decided to once again go for a break from the boring Everyday life in the city.
After such a productive vacation, Oleg came up with the idea of such a chaotic video, the clip makers for which, the Kuchersky Brothers, had already helped to complete the video.
The clip clearly shows strong love feelings singers and journalists who, despite the passage of years, do not fade away, on the contrary, become brightly fiery. Undoubtedly, Solo career Oleg Yakovlev is gaining momentum in popularity thanks to the talent and special charisma of the performer.

On Sputnik radio, he said that he met with Yakovlev two months ago.
“I was in a state of shock yesterday when I found out that he had been in the hospital for a week already. I didn’t even imagine, because we saw each other two months ago, and everything was fine. And a new video came out, and a song. I don’t even have a thought there was a possibility that something serious could happen. My friend left,” said Kirill Andreev.
"How can you say a few words about a person with whom you spent 15 years creative life. Tours, trains, planes, cold hotels - everything happened. The kingdom of heaven for Olezhka, of course. I want his soul to calm down. It’s a pity that it’s so early,” said the lead singer of “Ivanushki”.

Perhaps the most popular group in the country. Her army of fans numbers several million girls around the world. Perhaps no other Russian group will not be able to boast of such a number of admirers. The official founding date of the group is November 1994. 1994 November 10, on Igor Sorin’s birthday, producer and composer Igor Matvienko appointed a general viewing: Igor Sorin (GITIS graduate, former member musical "Metro" on Broadway), Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov (former director of the Sochi Fashion Theater) and Kirill Andreev (magazine cover star) got together for the first time. All three wanted to sing in the group so much that they did something unimaginable at the audition.
“For a long time we could not find a name for the new team,” says Andrey. “I still have a notebook somewhere, covered with hundreds of titles.” Therefore, the first appearances on stage were carried out under working names - “Apollo Union”, “Pencils”, etc. And then one day the songwriter Herman Witke suggested calling the guys “Ivanushki”. And then I thought and added “international”. The tedious rehearsals and recording of songs began. The guys wanted to combine in their project best traditions Russian folk music, Soviet stage and popular foreign dance styles(disco, trance, etc.) This concept was reflected in the name of the group.
In 1996, Ivanushki released their first studio album"Of course He is." It included three cover versions of songs by bands and performers of the late 80s (“Universe”, originally performed by Alexander Ivanov and VIA “Rondo”, “Floors” and “Malina” performed by the group “Class”). In addition, the album included other songs that later became iconic (“Clouds”, “Ring”, “Somewhere”). At the beginning of 1997, the group released their next album, “Of course it is remixed.” The creators of the remixes were sound designer and co-producer of the group Igor Polonsky, keyboard player of the Moral Code group Konstantin Smirnov and Dj Maxim Milyutenko. In addition to remixes of existing songs, “Ivanushki” also released their future hit - the song “Doll” and a cover version of the song of the group “Lube” “Dusya”.
The second numbered album “Your Letters”, which was also released in 1997, included 11 songs. As in the first two albums, the third was not without cover versions of hits of past years (“Aleshkina’s Love”, “Little Sister”, “Girl-Girl”). In addition to music tracks, the album includes an audio letter from the band members.
In the second half of 1997, changes occurred in the group's composition. Igor Sorin leaves her, deciding to pursue a solo career. Oleg Yakovlev takes his place. Oleg Yakovlev’s debut took place in the video “Doll”. Sorin's fate was tragic: on September 1, 1998, he committed suicide by jumping out of the window of his apartment. In 1998, Ivanushki released one of best works, song " Poplar fluff" In the summer of 1998, the video for this song was widely aired on Russian channels, and the song took first place in the Russian Radio chart.
In 1999 the disc “Fragments of Life” was released. dedicated to memory Igor Sorin. This album contains unique recordings: Igor’s poems performed by him, his first songs recorded before he became “Ivanushka”. The disc also includes songs by Ivanushki based on poems by Igor Sorin and their new, never before published, song dedicated to Igor Sorin - “I will never forget you.”
In April 1999, the group “Ivanushki International” released its new, third numbered album “I’ll scream about this all night” - this is the name of the title song of the disc, performed by the brightest red-haired “Ivanushka” - Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov . This is the first album in which Oleg Yakovlev took part as a full-fledged soloist. Work on the disc was carried out from August to November last year. Mixing and mastering were carried out in the recording studio of the Mosfilm film concern. The album “I’ll Scream About This All Night” includes ten new songs, among which there are already famous compositions- “Poplar fluff,” which filled the airwaves of music radio stations and television channels at the end of the summer of 1998, and the song “You’re Near,” included in the album “Fragments of Life” in memory of Igor Sorin, entitled “I will never forget you.”
“Ivanushki” plans to release a DVD, shoot a new video and record new songs. In addition to the regular songwriters of “Ivanushki” - Alexander Shaganov and Mikhail Andreev, songs for the new album were written by Konstantin Arsenev and German Witke, who had previously contributed to the song “Millions of Lights” for the team’s debut album. The record itself, in addition to the musical content, for the first time includes a multimedia track on which the video “Bullfinches” and a mini-film about the filming of this video were recorded, as well as fragments of concert performances.
This version of the album has a limited edition. The next album by “Ivanushki” was the disc “Wait for Me”, followed by “Oleg, Andrey, Kirill”, released in 2002. It included such group hits as “Golden Clouds”, “Beznadega.ru”, “A Drop of Light” . This album was the last commercially successful project group at the time of writing this article.
