People endowed with versatile talents are not so rare. However, very few manage to reveal their abilities. Sergey Bugaev is one of those who realizes himself to the maximum.
Starting conditions
Well-known astrologers can predict their fate at birth. Provided that the newborn belongs to a noble, royal or royal family. Sergei Anatolyevich Bugaev was born on March 28, 1966 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents at that time lived in Novorossiysk. The child grew up in a favorable environment. According to local traditions, he was taught the profession of a driver or a ship mechanic. The boy often visited the famous port and watched how people live and what they do near the pier.
Sergey studied well at school. I found a common language with classmates. I didn’t contact street hooligans. His favorite subjects were drawing and singing. The boy was presented with a guitar, and he spent all his free time learning various compositions. I used kitchen utensils as percussion instruments. Listened to tunes using a radio. If possible, I bought vinyl disks of foreign manufacture. He attended concerts of metropolitan groups, which gave a tour in the coastal city.
Moving to Leningrad
In the biography of Sergei Anatolyevich, it is noted that at the age of fourteen he first visited Leningrad. Spent time not in vain, and made useful contacts. After an exchange of views, Bugaev was invited to his group by the cult avant-garde musician Sergei Kurekhin. In short, a guest from the Caucasus organically blended into the local underground get-together. In the cellars and doorways of the city on the Neva, they exchanged creative ideas, played music, painted pictures that did not correspond to the official aesthetics.
Without a systemic education, but possessing natural data, Bugaev works closely with popular rock bands. He takes an active part in the performances of the Aquarium group, under the direction of Boris Grebenshchikov. He is also welcomed by other famous musicians to his company. After meeting Timur Novikov, young avant-garde artists create the New Artists Studio. A few years later Bugaev organized exhibitions of contemporary Russian artists in the three largest museums in Europe.
