He really liked the smile, so in almost all the photographs he looked joyful, but for some reason his green eyes remained sad. Twenty years have passed before Igor Sorin, the famous musician, poet, favorite of millions, passed away.
Childhood
Igor was born in 1969 in a family of metropolitan intellectuals Svetlana Sorina and Vladimir Raiberg. The boy's father worked as an engineer, but was a creative person. He painted beautifully and was a member of the Writers' Union. These abilities were transferred to his son, but for the stage name, the artist took the name of his mother. So Igor Rayberg turned into Igor Sorin.
According to the recollections of the mother, the son grew restless and curious. He tried to try everything himself; danger did not stop him. He boldly clung to the train at full speed, rafted on the raft on the river, he was attracted to the most evil places in the city. But besides this, the boy early discovered a talent for music and poetry. Those around him were sometimes surprised by not children's poems. There was no match for him in improvisation.
Sorin decided to take part in the screenings for the film about the adventures of Tom Sawyer and, after a serious selection, got the main role. But at the very last moment, on the recommendation of Nikita Mikhalkov, the film's director Stanislav Govorukhin replaced the boy with another actor. The insult was so great that Igor jumped from the second floor. There were no injuries. In order to somehow smooth out the situation, the boy was given the opportunity to play another small role in this film.
Becoming a musician
After 8th grade, Igor entered the College of Radio Mechanics. He did not pursue the goals of getting an education, he was just going to pass the time before the army. The young man created a music group that was successful in college and even represented him at various city competitions. The career of a novice musician helped make the right choice. After graduating from college, he became a student at Gnesinka. He stopped at the department of musical comedy.
In the third year of the university, Sorin passed a casting of participants for the musical "Metro" staged by the Warsaw Drama Theater. Rehearsals were short, and the troupe went to conquer Europe and America. Tours can not be called successful, film critics noted the low professional level of the artists. In the US, Igor was offered training, the only one of them all. Frightened by the distance, the absence in a foreign country of relatives, friends, and he refused. He returned to Moscow and continued his studies. I combined education with television. Sorin first appeared on the screen in the program "Director for himself, " where he became an actor and co-author.
"Ivanushki International"
During the American tour, Igor met with Andrei Grigoryev-Appolonov. This meeting became crucial for both. A few years later, the country learned about a new musical group created by Igor Matvienko, where, besides Andrey, Kirill Andreev and Sorin entered. In 1994, fame came to the musicians. The team traveled with tours of all the cities of the former Soviet Union. They gathered thousands of halls and stadiums. The release of the video for the song "Clouds" made the guys stars. The girls littered them with letters, sent gifts and stormed hotels. In the first four years, the group managed to release two albums, which instantly scattered.
Solo career
Popularity is not always pleasant. Sorin complained to his colleagues that there was absolutely no time left for creativity, and he wanted self-realization. He felt the need to read books, write poetry and reflect on topics of philosophy. In 1998, the soloist left the band and began his own career. She was not so successful. The collaboration between Igor and the DSM Formation team resulted in the recording of the only Mermaid song. With her, he planned to open his first solo album. But the musician did not have time to do anything else. Sudden death prevented him.
Mysterious fall
The morning of the first of September was the last for him. In a rented apartment of one of the capital's high-rise buildings was a studio where the musician came daily. At 7.10 in the morning he was found lying on the ground. The singer fell from the balcony of the sixth floor. He was still alive, doctors fought for his health for four days. The operation carried out for many hours was considered successful. But Sorin's heart could not stand it. Before his death, he came to his senses for a short while, but did not blame anyone for what had happened, saying that he had done it himself. A musician’s death note was found in the apartment, and people around him talked a lot about the recent depression that had overtaken him.
This death entailed many rumors and speculation. How could a young talented guy, full of creative plans, voluntarily leave their lives? Many considered this a murder. When it became known that the musician was in the occult organization of alternative medicine, one of the versions received a religious orientation. Many years later, Matvienko himself in an interview said that the artist "killed addiction to drugs." But at the time of the fall, nothing was found in his blood. The reason for the "flight", about which he wrote in a farewell note, remained a mystery to everyone.
