Around the civic position of the permanent leader of the musical group "Time Machine" Andrei Makarevich, there has been a lot of controversy lately. Naturally, interest grew in his biography, career and personal life. So who is he - Andrei Makarevich?
Andrei Vadimovich Makarevich always went against the tide, knew how to defend his views and positions, did not seek universal approval. He jokingly writes off his actions as a mixture of blood - Jewish, Polish and Belarusian. What really influenced the formation of his personality - origin, upbringing or character traits?
The childhood and youth of Andrei Makarevich
Andrei Vadimovich is a native Muscovite. He was born in November 1953 in the family of a TB doctor and architect. The boy was enthusiastic and dreamy, a kind of romantic, striving for the unknown. He planned to become a herpetologist, paleontologist and even a diver. But dad sent him to a music school, deciding that his son must be a musician. Regular piano lessons only annoyed Andrei, and he abandoned his lessons, and his parents did not immediately learn about his decision.
The boy was "thrown" from one hobby to another - then he began to collect a collection of butterflies, then he started a kite, then he went skiing, then swimming. But at the age of 12, Andrei nevertheless returned to music - mastered the guitar, listened to Okudzhava for days on end, then became a fan of Vysotsky.
The creativity of The Beatles so impressed the young Makarevich that he decided, by all means, to create his own musical group. Andrey found like-minded people quickly - they were childhood friends from his yard on Komsomolsky Prospekt and classmates.
Music in the life of Andrei Makarevich
Parents did not approve of Andrei's passion for music, which was "not held in high esteem" in the Soviet country. The most harmless thing at that time was listening to Makarevich - the songs of Bulat Okudzhava. By the 9th grade, Andrei already had an impressive “baggage” of his own songs, which later became the repertoire of the “Time Machine” group. Her first roster included
- Andrei Makarevich himself,
- Kawagoe Sergey,
- Borzov Yuri,
- Mazaev Sergey.
Music was everything for them, but their work did not receive the approval of officials. This has caused many problems for musicians. Andrei Makarevich, for example, was expelled from the architectural institute, where he entered at the request of his parents. The wording of the reason for the expulsion was simply ridiculous - for the untimely departure from labor practice at the vegetable base.
The pressure arranged by the authorities was not maintained by all the members of the collective, and the composition of the Time Machine was constantly changing. Only Makarevich remained permanent in its composition.
Career Andrei Makarevich
After being expelled from the institute, Makarevich for some time studied only music, which his parents did not like. He had to recover at MARCHI, but even with the help of his father he was able to continue his studies only in the evening course of the university. After receiving the diploma of an architect, Andrey joined the organization involved in the design of spectacular structures and theaters, but did not show any particular success in architecture.
Makarevich promoted his group as best he could, and his efforts were crowned with success - the Rosconcert himself signed a contract for concert activities. It was a major victory, giving a chance for development, albeit on certain conditions.
After signing the contract, Makarevich quit the design institute and concentrated on developing a musical career and promoting the group. In 1986, the first full-fledged album "Time Machines" was released, the team went on tour around the country, publications about musicians appeared in the press, their songs were heard from the windows of houses, they became tracks for cult films of those times - it was a success!
Fame made it possible to engage in other hobbies. Makarevich became the author and host of television programs - Underwater World and SMAK. In 2001, Andrei Vadimovich fulfilled another dream of his own - he organized the Creole Tango Orchestra jazz band. And though she did not become as successful and iconic as the “Time Machine”, but she has her listeners and fans. 15 years later, in the center of the capital, the Makarevich JAM Club opened, where only live music is played.
The personal life of Andrei Makarevich
5 wives and three children - this is Andrei Makarevich’s personal “piggy bank”. His first official wife was Elena Glazova. The attempt to create a family was unsuccessful, the marriage broke up after three years, without squabbles and scandals. It was during this period that Andrei Vadimovich had a daughter, Dan, but not from Elena. Who the girl’s mother is unknown to this day. Dana lives in America, maintains a warm relationship with her father.
Only 7 years after the first divorce, Makarevich decided to re-enter into official marriage. His chosen one was the ex-wife of a colleague in the "Time Machine" Romanov Alexei - Alla Golubkina. The relationship of the couple was deeper, a year after the wedding, a son Ivan was born. This tipping point was the beginning of a break for the couple.
Then there was an affair with a bright and extraordinary radio host Ksenia Strizh. They were so different that few believed in their relationship, the press did consider them a kind of PR.
Having parted with Ksenia, Makarevich spent almost two years alone. Then there was an affair with the press attaché of the group "Time Machine" Rozhdestvenskaya Anna. Whether there was an official marriage is unknown, but the couple in 2000 had a daughter, Anya. Makarevich also disintegrated.
In 2003, Andrei Vadimovich again went to the registry office. A new hobby was a young beauty, make-up artist, photographer Elena Dove. But even this attempt to create a family was unsuccessful - in 2010 the family broke up.
