The death was announced today former member Oleg Yakovlev's group
His predecessor Igor Sorin also died early.
Igor Sorin
The singer has been interested in publicity and creativity since childhood. As a boy, Igor received the role of Tom Sawyer in the film adaptation of Mark Twain's work. However, director Stanislav Govorukhin had to change his decision and cast Fedya Stukov in the film as the main character. Sorin took the refusal to heart and even tried to jump out of the window. Fortunately, the guy only fell from the second floor and did not receive serious injuries. Later, Igor entered Gnesinka, but dropped out for, as it seemed to him, high-profile project- touring with the musical “Metro”. The production failed abroad, and Sorin, unable to “catch on” in New York, returned to Moscow.
Exactly " Ivanushki International"became the next stage in creative life guy - though not immediately successful. After rare performances in casinos and at graduations, producer Igor Matvienko wanted to disband the group’s soloists - Igor Sorin, Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov and Kirill Andreev. But he gave his brainchild another chance by filming a video for the song “Clouds.” And he was right - after the video, the guys became wildly popular.

For only three years, Igor Sorin enjoyed fame as part of the team - in 1998, the singer decided to take up solo career. As Kirill Andreev recalls, friends tried to dissuade his colleague for a long time, but to no avail. “I’m tired of singing the same thing every day,” Sorin repeated.
In 1998, Igor left - not only from musical group, but also from life. A 28-year-old boy died while recording his own album. On September 1, Sorin and his colleagues were working in a studio located on the sixth floor of the house. The artist decided to take a break and smoke, after which he never returned to his fellow musicians. The singer fell out of the window, as a result of which he received multiple injuries: fractures of the cervical vertebrae, bruised kidneys, and paralysis of the limbs. Doctors fought for the artist’s life, but Igor did not undergo the operation - his heart stopped.

As confirmation, a suicide note was found on the studio balcony: “To my family. Mom. To dad. Sashenka. ALL. But like the crown of poetry, a chick is born. FLY." However, those close to him do not believe in suicide: Sorin loved life too much to part with it in an instant. And most importantly, according to the mother, there were no bruises or abrasions on the body of the deceased. Therefore, another option was born - murder. Allegedly, the guy’s neck was broken, and in order to cover his tracks, he was taken out into the street, framing the incident as a fall from a window.
In 1999, the album “Fragments from Life” was released in memory of Igor Sorin, which included songs and poems of the young man. The Ivanushki International team continued creative activity in a different composition: Igor was replaced by Oleg Yakovlev in the group.
Oleg Yakovlev
Oleg has studied piano at a music school, studied at the Irkutsk Theater School and GITIS, and served in the Armen Dzhigarkhanyan Theater. In the capital, Oleg earned money as best he could: he got a job on the radio, recorded advertisements, and even cleaned the streets.

The man maintained relationships with former colleagues, and none of them noticed anything unusual in Oleg’s condition and behavior. “We filmed together new clip and they were recording a song, and I didn’t know that he had any problems. But I always jokingly told him: “Oleg, smoke less cigarettes.” I was always ready to support him in terms of healthy lifestyle. Just a month and a half ago he was full of strength. And yesterday I found out that he had been in intensive care for a week,” recalls Kirill Andreev.
