The beginning of the 90s gave the Russian stage a lot of different groups.
New musical groups appeared on the scene almost every month.
And, of course, the beginning of the 90s is the birth of one of the most popular musical groups Ivanushki.
"Doll Masha", "Clouds", "Poplar fluff" - in the middle of the 90s, the listed tracks were sung by music lovers of the CIS countries. The soloists of the musical group Ivanushki have acquired the status of sex symbols among their fans.
Millions of girls all over the planet dreamed of the attention of singers.
Producer Ivanushek chose the musicians very well. Red-haired, muscular brunette and modest blond, were able to attract attention.
And the lyrical musical compositions that the guys performed could not help but conquer the youth of the 90s.
The composition of the musical group
The official founding date of the musical group is 1994. It was then that three young people - Igor Sorin, Andrey Grigoriev-Apollonov and Kirill Andreev first performed their songs on the big stage.
Each of the presented musicians already had some experience on stage. But, they faced the most difficult thing - to learn how to work in a team.
Andrei Grigoriev-Apollonov is a red-haired and incredibly charismatic young man. Plus, he can be called the most cheerful member of the musical group.
Behind the performer was a diploma of graduation from a music school and a teacher training college.
Kirill Andreev is a native Muscovite and an incredibly charming guy. Cyril was immediately assigned the status of a little and a womanizer. Its mouth-watering forms have become the main highlight.
In fact, the textured appearance, and not the vocal data, became the reason that the producer entrusted him with the role of soloist Ivanushki.
Until the moment of his musical career, Cyril managed to work as a model.
Igor Sorin is the third member of Ivanushki. Against the background of Kirill and Andrey, Sorin looked like an incredibly calm and thoughtful young man.
In addition to being the vocalist of Ivanushek, the young man also wrote lyrics for musical compositions. Creativity haunted Sorin from early childhood.
Igor Sorin stayed for a short time as part of Ivanushki. Already in 1998, he said goodbye to the producer, and went into free swimming.
He dreamed of a solo career as a performer. But, unfortunately, in the same 1998, Sorin died. The singer fell from the balcony of the 6th floor. A couple of days later, Igor died in the hospital.
The place of Igor Sorin was taken by Oleg Yakovlev. Oleg's main difference is oriental appearance and plasticity. It was plasticity that allowed Yakovlev to show dizzying dances on stage.
Yakovlev was born on the territory of Choibalsan, in 1970.
Oleg Yakovlev quickly occupied his niche in the Ivanushki musical group. In addition to the fact that the singer was very charming, he had a diploma of graduation from a music school, as well as experience on the stage of the theater.
Oleg Yakovlev in 2013 leaves the composition of the musical group. He is also set for a solo career. By coincidence, this singer also dies.
Pneumonia and cirrhosis of the liver led to the death of the beloved singer.
The place of Oleg Yakovlev in 2013 was taken by another Kirill named Turichenko.
The new soloist Ivanushek was much younger than the other participants. The singer was born on January 13, 1983 in Odessa. Behind Kirill also had considerable experience on stage.
The young man has already managed to try himself as an artist and singer. Maybe these reasons were the reason that Cyril quickly became part of Ivanushki.
Music group Ivanushki
Igor Matvienko is the producer of the musical group Ivanushki. When creating the group, he planned to create a new style of performance. As a result, Matvienko and the musicians managed to create something unique.
Ivanushek's repertoire consisted of Russian folk music, combined with elements of Soviet and Western pop music.
The musicians presented their debut album in 1996. Ivanushek instantly fell in love with the people, which led to popularity.
The musical compositions "Universe" (a cover of Alexander Ivanov's song), "Kolechko", "Clouds" are still popular and relevant.
In 2007, the musical group prepared as many as 2 albums for admirers of their work. We are talking about the records “Of course he (remix)” and “Your letters”.
The first album included old works by Ivanushek and remixes. "Your Letters" is an album that included new tracks and cover versions of popular tracks.
In the same period of time, Ivanushki released the first video clips. Here, fans get to know the new member Oleg Yakovlev, who appeared in the video clip "Dolls".
Ivanushek's hit "Poplar fluff", also recorded with the participation of Yakovlev.
In 1999, the musicians presented two more albums to their fans. The first, "Fragments of Life", was dedicated to the former soloist Ivanushki, Igor Sorin, who passed away due to tragic circumstances.
The album ended with the musical composition "I will never forget you." In some way, the track became an appeal to their former colleague. The second album, the musicians called "I'll scream about this all night."
In the presented disc, the musicians have collected their new creations.
In 2000, the performers recorded another album - "Wait for me."
The musicians do not sit still, so in 2003 the presentation of the disc "Oleg, Andrey, Kirill" took place. The album was at the peak of popularity. The musical compositions of the disc topped the first places of the music charts in Russia.
Ivanushki were at the top of the musical Olympus. The guys still do not realize that "Oleg, Andrey, Kirill" will be the last popular album.
But while this trio was at the top of popularity, and photos and posters of the soloists were kept, perhaps, in the collection of every music lover.
With the next album, which was released in 2005, the musicians summed up their creative career. Under the cover of the album released in 2005, the soloists have collected the best musical compositions of the past years, which they performed with the musical groups Fabrika and Korni. The disc is called “10 years in the Universe”.
In 2006, the soloists of the musical group will present the musical composition "Oriole". The verdict remains disappointing. The new track turns out to be a failure and does not bring Ivanushki a drop of popularity.
The musical composition "Oriole" is a failure of Ivanushki. Now, young musicians do not record tracks, do not release albums, and take the so-called creative break.
Music critics note that such a failure may be due to the fact that the guys stopped growing as musicians.
Ivanushek's music did not meet the requirements of modern music lovers.
But, despite the failure, the musicians celebrated their 15th birthday on the big stage.
The musicians organized a concert tour around the country and a gala concert in the capital. Ivanushki allowed their fans to hear their best work.
Three years later, the musical group was replenished with a new member. Oleg's place was taken by the handsome brunette Kirill Turichenko.
Only in 2015 the updated musical group released a new album. Unfortunately, this work did not add popularity to Ivanushki. The works were not accepted with a bang. The success that the musicians acquired in the mid-90s could not be repeated.
Interesting facts about the Ivanushki group
- According to the author of the text Alexander Shaganov, the song "Clouds" originally had different music, and Yuri Shatunov, the lead singer of the group Tender May, which had already disintegrated by that time, was supposed to perform the song.
- In the video clip "Clouds", all weather conditions are real. The lack of installation in this case was beneficial.
- The soloists of the musical group Ivanushki Andrey and Kirill are best friends in real life.
- The beautiful body of Kirill Andreev is the result of bodybuilding.
- Ivanushek's best-selling album was Your Letters.
It is interesting that, despite their age, Ivanushki still manages to maintain the status of sex symbols of the Russian Federation.
Musical group Ivanushki now
Ivanushka's group still continues its activities. At this stage, the musical group is actively touring. In addition, musicians appear on various projects, shows and programs.
In 2017, the musical group performed together with Nikita Kuznetsov, a member of the New Star Factory, performing the song Poplar Fluff.
In 2018, the musicians presented the track "Only for Redheads". Later, Ivanushki presented a very ironic video clip for this musical composition. Interestingly, the clip has gained more than 2 million views, which suggests that Ivanushki "still can."
It is noteworthy that the soloists Ivanushek tell reporters that they do not regret at all that their former popularity has already gone, and most likely will not return.
The musicians say that fame has been replaced by a respectful attitude from fans, many of whom are no longer young either.
The guys do not give comments about the release of the new album. But, they regularly hold their concerts on the territory of the CIS countries and abroad.
Recently, one of Ivanushek's fans uploaded a video from the guys' concert, which took place on the territory of Los Angeles.
