On Tuesday, it became known about the death of the founder of the group "Funny guys" Pavel Slobodkin. He died quietly in his hands at his wife in his apartment on Arbat. The legend of the Soviet pop, the "godfather" Alla Pugacheva, beloved Anastasia Vertinskaya, a gentle loving husband of the beauty of Lola Kravtsova - what did Slobodkin lived in recent years?

Pavel Slobodkin and his wife Lola Kravtsova.

The departure of the legendary Soviet producer did not blow up the social network the condolences of stars, as happens, after the news of the death of this or that representative of the show business. Most likely, representatives of the current generation of artists did not immediately understand, about whom it is about. After all, the name of this person thundered to the whole country in the 70s and 1980s. It is without exaggeration that can be called "the godfather" Alla Borisovna Pugacheva. In the distance, 1974, then no one else is a famous singer Shouumen invited to the ensemble "Merry guys." And after another year, the song "Arquino" in the arrangement of Slobodkina made Pugachev star ...

Igor Nikolaev is one of the few representatives of show business, who left a comment on the death of Slobodkin in the social network.

"This name is inseparable from my childhood and youth. How many songs "funny guys" rework with me in Sakhalin restaurants. How many collected vinyl records. I happened to work with Paul and with "cheerful ..." over the musical film for the USSR CT about the old circus. Sasha Buynov, Lesha Glyzin ... Pavel Yakovlevich was very scrupulous in the question of copyright, called me repeatedly to find high-quality entries for the publication of the record with our songs. And told a huge number of interesting, almost fantastic stories from his life. I remember them all ... eternal memory. "

Public condolences expressed Alexander Buynov: "At different times, many famous musicians were created in the ensemble under the leadership of Pavel Slobodkin. I also passed the school "Merry Guys", gave the case of Via seventeen years. Thanks to Slobodkin for excellent music, for the upbringing of good taste, for rigor (it was not easy to manage with us). We are all grateful to him for everything. "

Pavel Slobodkina is called the first Soviet producer - maybe therefore his name was not a hearing in the general public. Applause for him broke the soloists of the ensemble "Merry Guys": Alexander Gradsky, Alexander Lerman, Leonid Berger, Vyacheslav Malezhik, Alexander Barykin, Alexander Buynov, Alla Pugacheva. With the primordial Slobodkina was a long (about two years) novel.

Pavel Slobodkin has long moved away from show business. For more than 15 years, he was the artistic director of the Moscow Theater and Concert Center with the chamber hall for 600 seats. He did not supply "fried" facts to journalists, led a quiet way, was not seen in secular events.

Now everything turned upside down with legs on the head, and "in the trend" such odious individuals, which remains only to the hands of dilute in complete lack of understanding of what is happening, - says the poetess Love Voropaeva. - And, by the way, in what happens, in part and journalists are to blame. Yes, the sad news about the rest of the outstanding musician, a talented producer and manager, a major cultural activist, came from the Internet. One singer, who read the post of Alexei Stefanova, the Concert Director of Roxana Babayan, about the departure of Slobodkin, I, in turn, called back to the center of Slobodkina, where the phones did not answer. Then there were already chimes between those who closely knew Pavel Yakovlevich. And everything confirmed.

- Have you talked with Slobodkin for a long time?

Quite a long time ago. He called me with a request to write another new verse to our song "Signorita, I'm loved", which he intended to record with the new composition of "funny guys." I fulfilled his request, sent him the material, he called and thanked, and also said that he would certainly see. Did not see.

- Remember how did you meet?

We introduced us in the 70s Nikolay Agutin, Father Lenya Agutina. In those days, he worked in the Moskoncert director, including with VIA "Funny Guys". Agutin liked my poems published in one Almana, and he asked me, I would not want to try my hand in the song. I really wanted. We talked and started working.

Slobodkin came out through the same Nikolai Agutin. Pavel Yakovlevich came home to me and tried to charm me. Human plan, naturally. Because in terms of his personal, he was then a bright novel with Anastasia Vertinskaya. It was already after Pugacheva.

Over time, with Pavl Yakovlevich, I made friends quite close. I remember, he shared with me the circumstances of his difficult relationship with Nastya. It was very in love with her, even sat on a diet to lose weight. Eating buckwheat with milk. I remember this diet for all my life, but never tried it.

- They say he was a hard man?

In the work of Slobodkin was extremely demanding. I learned a lot from him. Upon building a storyline in the text of the song, to read out loud of the charts of the written text. The main joint work was the song "The growl is always lucky", dedicated to Pugacheva. I wrote the text commissioned by Pavel Yakovlevich, and after he wrote music to him.

- Why did you finish cooperating with him?

Our collaboration with Slobodkin sued no, when enterprising Victor Verkhstein suggested that I become a member of his team of Via "singing hearts" and knocked out even for me in Moskoncert. So I began to work in the competitor.

But with Pavel Yakovlevich, we met and communicated and communicated. Once he drove to visit me, caught my mom. I remember Pavel Yakovlevich then convinced mommy to dissuade me to marry Dorokhin, who in those days worked in the Moskoncert drummer. "Why is our girl drummer?," Slobodkin spoke to my mother. "She needs a composer, they must develop together!". As life showed, he was right. As a result, I married Viktor Dorokhina, made him start writing songs with me, and he became one of the top composers in those years.

"About such love write novels"

Paul Slobodkina has a page in the social network. Absolutely "deaf", not talking about a person. More like an advertising avenue of his activity. It is known that Virtual reality was alien to Slobodkin, he opposed social networks. That is why, his page was led by the wife of Lola Kravtsov.

Comment by a friend of the family of Slobodkina Ilona Spielberg in the social network: "Lola Kravtsova is surprisingly beautiful, strong, sincere person. Stunningly spectacular and smart woman. I know how much gave grief and injustice in her life, so she was immensely happy thanks to a marriage with Paul, who managed to evaluate and love her. It is said that God always sends tests bye. But not in this case. For the death of a husband for lol is a terrible car, and not at all the test. "

We contacted Ilona Spielberg, who told about the famous couple.

Lola on Tuesday, early in the morning replaced his avatar in the social network to a black square. I immediately understood: "Something happened." And this "something" can only be connected with Slobodkin. He was all for her.

I began to call a girlfriend, the phone was disabled. Tried to reach the whole day, but she did not shoot the phone. I know what my love was between them and understand that most likely Lola simply cannot speak. It is even scary to imagine that it is going on with her now. She is not the woman who is prone to melodramatic gestures. Just so will not put a black square instead of your photo. Thus, she told the world that a full black thing came in her life. And this silence in the tube also scares me.

- Did you know that Slobodkin is sick?

The fact of the matter is that no one knew. We were so friendly and frank with Lola, that if something happened to her husband, she would certainly share. The last time we corresponded with her a couple of days ago. I live in another country, so more often communicated according to social networks or skype. As always, Hokmili, joked. No prerequisites for the fact that something terrible is coming, it was not close.

Moreover, the other day she laid out in the network photos of their dogs, joking in the comments. We talked about the upcoming vacation. Ordinary touch. She watched his spouse as a small child. If he was overtaking a terrible disease, she would have rolled the earth, but put it on his feet. I can not understand what happened. Probably everything happened suddenly.

- What relationship were between them?

About such love that reigned between them, they write novels. I will say this: Slobodkin could create, work and calmly live only because there was a lol. She did not just guard him, she defended him from all the troubles, fenced from troubles, excitement. And how she cared for him, as he watched his health - not to describe words. After all, she filled out of him, he was afraid of the slightest breeze, God forbid, the beloved will catch a cold.

- Pavel Yakovlevich replied?

Also I could not imagine my wife.

- Have they long together?

A long time ago. I really do not remember how old. It seems all life.

- There are children in their family?

Lola has no children.

- How did they meet?

I can say that Lola appeared in the life of Paul not by chance. After all, she was previously married to a very famous person from the musical community. (The first husband Lola Kravtsova - Singer Valery Ozodzinsky. The marriage lasted two years - auth.)

The initiator of the novel was Slobodkin. Lola fell a lot of tragedies, tests. She is a very spectacular woman. When she went down the street, men instinctively folded the neck.

Because of his beauty, she suffered. She was envied in black. Everyone seemed to everyone that she could overshadow any other beauty with her stunning appearance, shuffled that she would catch the men to a spectacular image.

But Lola is a sincere and honest person. And if he loves, it does not play. In addition, it is smart, intelligent, is formed, she has a legal education. If from all men who surround it, she chose Slobodkina, it says a lot. When I first saw them together, I realized how deep her love for him was. Next to him, she always tried to push himself into the background, remained in his shadow. She tried to pay off her personality, brightness. Although Lola could shine even on his background. But I did not do it with him.

- She did Slobodkina affairs?

Lola became director of the center. He was a kind of. On her shoulders were responsible for the so-called "economic part", she was engaged in trickuchka, routine work. Fully disadvantaged Slobodkin from Dryazg, conflicts and problems so that he calmly continue to create.

- Are they believers?

Yes, the posts were observed, went to church. They were engaged in charity, but never shouted about it. They were friends with one priest, often went to him. Help the orphans. Their faith is not a tribute to fashion. It walked from the inside and very powerful. I understood their reverent attitude to Orthodoxy. We could joke on any topics with lolly, and rigid enough. But if the matter of religion concerned, here I thought ten times, whether it was worth joking. It seems to me that Lola pissed this late love.

- Slobodkin did not worry that his time was in a professional plan, leaves?

It is impossible to say that his time is gone. He attracted young forces into his center. He moved away from Popes, but rose to the step above in development. If I wanted to go back to the show business, then believe me, Lola would help him and they would have done it. But he did not want. In addition, they have always been higher than this secular tinsel and star gossip.

- Does Lola stayed some of the close relatives?

Only a niece. Parents have long died.

- Lola recalled his wife's former bright novels with Anastasia Vertinskaya, with Pugacheva?

Never spoke about the past. He did not want to remember.

- Who is engaged in the organization of the funeral?

I am sure, Lola will take himself in his hands and itself organizes a memorial, funeral. Just because it will consider it with your duty.

"Paul left the testament back in 2006"

The group "Merry guys" remains loyal fans, which under the microscope studied the life of the ensemble leader. We contacted one of Slobodkin fans. Oleg teaches orphans boxing lessons in the men's monastery Kursk Native Christmas-Virodal Desert.

I am familiar with Pavel Yakovlevich since 1974, - began the interlocutor. - Since then, we are always in touch. The other day I was sent from Germany a rare video of the concert "Merry Guys", whom everyone considered lost. Two days ago, I sent the recording of Slobodkin. But he never saw her.

- How was Slobodkin for you?

He was a complex person, but always helped people if I saw a "highlight" in them. For example, he always read my poems that I sent, praised them. Once he gave me 14 disks (archive of the ensemble "Funny guys"). This is a very valuable gift.

- Does Slobodkina have children?

Daughter from the first marriage. The first time he was married to Tatiana's ballerina, I do not remember the surname. Also no one knows where she is and what with her. According to rumors, Slobodkin has long cut off all the relationship with her, she also did not communicate with her daughter. I know that Tatiana was disliked in the team "Merry Guys", she tried to lead the musicians, put herself more costly Slobodkin. And she was terribly jealous. Jealous to soloists, arranged hysterics. Paul did not like it. Perhaps this was the cause of worship.

- You contacted Lola Kravtsova, expressed condolences?

I can not call it yet. But I know that she will all take over - the funeral, the organization of farewell. After all, when she did not become her first husband, Valeria Ozodzinsky, herself organized his funeral. Although they have not talked for a long time. She also paid everything, helped his last spouse.

- Slobodkin supported relations with all the ex-soloists of "fun guys"?

Yes, except for Igor Gataullina, with whom he was sued due to copyright. Well, with Glory Doburnin, he also had a spoiled relationship.

- The funeral will come all the musicians with whom he worked?

As far as I know. All will come. Alla Pugacheva is also going.

- Have you heard that Pavel Yakovlevich had cancer?

I heard. Two years ago, he and his wife traveled to Germany for treatment. But then I realized that it was bad. I contacted them, asked the health of Slobodkina, Lola then said: "Just pray for us." I work in the monastery, so every day put candles for the health of these people. But Slobodkin's cancer seemed to be diagnosed much earlier. Nevertheless, he lived with a terrible disease for a long time. All thanks to his wife. Lola did not tell anyone about his ailment. And he also had a lot of legs. When he died, I thought: maybe the thrombus broke away ... and I scolded him for visiting the southern edges when the sun was contraindicated. But he did not listen to me.

- Did he leave the testament?

My acquaintances said that the will he wrote back in 2006. All property he rewrote on his wife Lol. After all, she pulled him all these years. Slobodkin often repeated: "Oleg, if not Lola, I would have long been on that light."

On Wednesday, Lola Kravtsova published the post on its wall: "Pashchka mine, the most beloved, the best on all of the white light, 08.08.2017 at 11.11. In his favorite house, he moved to the Lord three times by adopting the holy sacraments of confession, communion and cobbies. Such care must be earned, and he deserved it, you know all this ...

He ordered to convey all his love, asked for all forgiveness and only love to everyone remained in his heart. And he demanded that no one cried and did not suffer, everyone should be happy, stay where they are, not to violate any of their plans so that there is no fuss if possible, and remember him who can, of course, is better with prayer How can you. Everyone must be comfortable, light and joyful. "

According to Love Voropaeva, the funeral of Pavel Slobodkin will be held on August 10 at 10.00 in the Trinity Church. The burial will take place at 12.00 on the Kuntsevsky cemetery

Yesterday in Moscow, a famous composer died in the 73rd year of life, People's Artist of Russia Pavel Slobodkin. His name from many is associated with the ensemble "Merry Guys", with which such stars of Soviet and Russian pops were closely connected closely, as Alexander Buynov, Vyacheslav Malezhik, Alexey Glyzin and Alla Pugachev.

It so happened that Pavel Slobodkin became the first producer in the USSR, when, perhaps, few people knew what this word means. And the history of his creative life is no less interesting than the stars burning with the master.

Slobodkina is all amazing, even the date of birth. The leader in the USSR of the ensemble "Cheerful guys" was born, perhaps, for many months for many generations of our compatriots - May 9, 1945. He was born in a musical family, his father, Yakov Pavlovich Slobodkin, was a world-famous cellist, so the artistic bond was often often in their apartment. As a child, Paul was lucky to communicate with Olga Knipper Chekhov, David Justocha and Svyatoslav Richter. Later he recalled his conversations with "who often looked at the light of the uncle Sergey Prokofiev."

It is not surprising that in such an atmosphere, Paul began to learn music from three years. The first loud glory to him came to 11 years together with the title of the winner of the All-Union Competition of Young Musicians. An additional reward for this was an unexpected invitation to perform as part of the Moscow Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. Since the beginning of the 1960s, Pavel Slobodkin - conductor and artistic director of the famous orchestra led by Mark Bernes. Incredibly, but then Paul has not yet been and twenty years old.

The first in the Soviet Union vocal-instrumental ensemble (VIA) "Merry Guys" Slobodkin managed to create in 1966. Their first record with Beatles songs in its own translation and Liverpool compositions in English were bought by millions of copies. Slobodkin said that colleagues-musicians, simply copied Western stars, fell, and his ensemble created a unique product in Russian, which was "in demand and loved throughout the union."

It is obliged to Slobodkin and Young Alla Pugacheva, who speaking in "funny guys." Not everyone knows that her song "Arquino", suddenly instantly shot and immediately made the red-haired representative of the USSR famous for the whole world on the Bulgarian "Gold Orphea", sounded in the arrangement of Pavel Slobodkina. Later he told that this song was born heavily. The primary product was completely bad. I had to add chorus, rearrange paragraphs of the text, invent a march at the beginning. Everything was done per night before traveling to the festival in Sofia.

People of the older generation remember that the songs of "fun guys" knew and sang on every corner. But they saw "the guys" live only those who managed to get tickets to their concerts. They were allowed to allow them only in 1985, when the film "Stray Artists" was shown, shot in Bulgaria director ... Pavel Slobodkin.

"Merry guys" was constantly updated, giving a ticket to all new talents. Slobodkin repeatedly repeatedly repeated that he had certainly not the "stars factory", because each artist made it was a piece goods.

Slobodkin himself received the title of Honored Artist of the RSFSR in 1988, and in 1993 he became a popular artist of Russia.

In one of the most beautiful buildings on Arbat, the Moscow Theater-Concert Center Pavel Slobodkina, having a room with modern speaker systems. The construction of the Center was led directly to Pavel Yakovlevich himself, seeking a unique musical sound. And music lovers will not come to the center for concerts of jazz and classical music, remembering the good word of his creator.

"In recent years, Pavel Yakovlevich was in a fierce fight against oncological problems," Love Voropaeva said a long-time familiar Musician. - He is very lost. It can be seen at some point the disease decided to shoot insidiously. " And she also added that quite recently the musician asked her to compose a new text to one old song for the performance of today's "fun guys." Text is, but it is no longer.
