Among all the famous bards Oleg Mityaev, whose biography is now connected with Moscow, stands somehow apart. Firstly, it is very popular, and not only among fans of the author’s song - without exaggeration, everyone knows it. And secondly, the number of songs written by him is very large, and they are performed, besides himself, by favorite singers - Valeria and Sergey Bezrukov, Shufutinsky and Lolita.
Clips of the songs “Be fastened, people! Summer is coming soon! ”And“ Summer is a little life ”and is now shown on TV, and there was a time when they did not leave the screens at all, taking the first lines in the popularity ratings. What can I say about the song "Good morning, darling!"
Hometown
Oleg Mityaev, whose biography began in the city of Chelyabinsk, was born on February 19, 1956. The family was mixed: father - Russian, mother - face. Oleg has an older brother Stanislav. Oleg Grigoryevich’s father was a worker, and worked for 35 years (recruited him at the age of 16) at the Chelyabinsk tube rolling plant. Mom was a housewife and the head of the family - everyone obeyed her. My father died quite early (he was only 54 years old) - hard work and a tendency to drink do not contribute to longevity.
But Oleg, having seen enough of all the charms of life, got drunk, although his father was not drunk, he didn’t take wine in his mouth until he was 30 years old. The Mityaev family was friendly and correct (for example, they never
swore obscenities here), children were taught to work from childhood.
School years
Chelyabinsk boy Oleg Mityaev, whose biography up to a certain age was typical for all boys from the working environment of those times, spent most of his time in the yard, which was still not quite ordinary - the world famous hockey players Sergey Makarov and Sergey Starikov also grew up there. Oleg Mityaev studied at several schools in Chelyabinsk - No. 59, 55, 68 ... His grades were satisfactory, the boy dreamed of becoming a dog breeder, but ... under the impression of his beloved "Mounters’ March "he entered the assembly college after high school, where he encountered with a compromise and immediately realized that this real male profession is not for him. But he received a specialty.
Not a bard at all
At the same time, Oleg was seriously fond of swimming, and the coach sought his release from the army, because the boy showed hope. But the summons from the draft board still came. The future bard is now a very effective man (a photo of Oleg Mityaev is attached). A handsome young man (height of 186 cm and blue eyes with dark hair) was noticed and taken to serve in the guard of the Admiral of the Navy of the USSR, to Moscow.
By that time, Oleg had already mastered the guitar (training took place at the porch, where he learned to play “Gypsy” even on two strings), but did not even think about music. After the army, he entered the Chelyabinsk Sports Institute, which he graduated with honors, and received the Lenin scholarship for all years of training - 100 rubles.
The first family and the beginning of creative activity
At the institute, "on the potato", an acquaintance with the beauty, athlete and Komsomol member Svetlana, which soon becomes his first wife, takes place. A beautiful couple married, and then their son Sergei was born. The wife of Oleg Mityaev Svetlana perfectly got along with her mother-in-law.
Oleg worked well, and nothing portended trouble. But Mityaev turned out to be amorous, and each time it seemed to him that a new love would last a lifetime. The future bard graduated from the institute in 1981, and while still a student he began to write songs regularly, and from 1980 - to sing them to everyone who listens.
Certified Artist
Oleg remains a teacher at the institute, at the same time works as a head of a club in a boarding house near Chelyabinsk and is listed as an artist of the city philharmonic. And this last area of activity began to occupy more and more space in his life. Mityaev entered and in 1992 completed correspondence courses at GITIS.
Together with him, Laima Vaikule and Mikhail Evdokimov studied, with whom Mityaeva had a strong friendship. The barda is already known, Bulat Okudzhava responded commendably, and in 1992 Oleg Mityaev and Konstantin Tarasov (met in 1987), with whom they performed on stage, as well as some actors of the Moscow City Council stage the play "Big Vladimir", in which Oleg plays the role of Mayakovsky. The premiere was in Italy.
Second family
After that, Oleg began to travel with concerts, speaking quite successfully. A trip to Germany allowed him to buy an apartment in Moscow for fees, where he moved with his new wife Marina, with whom thoughts, songs were now connected (“Good morning, love!” Was dedicated to her), Oleg Mityaev’s life. He left his first wife and son a two-room apartment in Chelyabinsk and always helped them - his son and now works as the fund manager of Oleg Mityaev in Chelyabinsk.
Sons
In the second marriage, the artist had two sons. The eldest, Philip, devoted himself to hard rock and changed his surname Mityaev to August. He motivates this by the fact that, having heard the name of his father, people are tuned to specific music, different from what the group "Stymphony" performs. Different musical addictions stood between father and son. Philip says that Oleg calls his songs demonic. The youngest son, Savva, works with his father.
The second wife was beautiful, and, they say, Oleg was madly jealous of her, although his own touring life was not particularly sacred. But maybe the family would not have broken up if it weren’t for a new love ...
Current family
With the actress of the theater. Vakhtangov, the author of his first song that made him famous, the song “It's great that we all gathered here today!” Has been living for 14 years. In marriage, their daughter Dasha was born.
The leading theater actress, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation Marina Esipenko , the wife of Oleg Mityaev, whose biography began in Omsk, says that Oleg was destined for her, since at the age of 6 she dreamed of a blue-eyed tall man whom she recognized immediately after seeing Mityaev. But both of them were not free - Marina Evseeva was the common-law wife of Nikita Dzhigurda. And no matter how they resisted the overwhelming feeling, the families broke up anyway. Now the Mityaevs live in a country house. We can add that their neighbor is the writer Victoria Tokareva.
Albums
O. Mityaev recorded his ninth album together with S. Manukyan and the Ariel band. Accompanist and arranger Leonid Margolin and Oleg Mityaev have been recording their albums since 1998. Known throughout the country, "Best Songs" and "Best Songs", "Heavenly Calculator" and "ZhZL" were recorded in the early years of close and constant cooperation. Then the album "Neither the Country nor the Graveyard" was released. Interestingly, the music for him was written by L. Margolin to the verses of Joseph Brodsky. In recent years, collections have been recorded "It's great that we all gathered here today! A quarter of a century later," "The smell of snow," "There will be no more romance."
Social work
In 2004, the Oleg Mityaev Foundation and the government of the Chelyabinsk region established the "Bright Past" award. It is a figurine entitled "A Centaur with a Flower in its Chest" by Ernst the Unknown. The prize awarded to people who glorified the Chelyabinsk Region for their activities owes their origin primarily to Oleg Mityaev. In 2009, he was awarded the title of People's Artist of the Russian Federation. In addition, the author of a huge number of songs, including such popularly beloved ones as “Neighbor” and “Frenchwoman”, performed by Shufutinsky, is a laureate of “Ovation”, a prize of Russian poetry “Petropol” and a member of the Union of Russian Writers. Many articles indicate that the poet and musician Oleg Mityaev, whose biography, however, is well known, does not really like to talk about his life.
