The place of birth of Alexei Lazarevich Meerovich was Moscow, the date was November 13, 1954. The surname Makarevich, taken by the boy later, was borne by his mother as a girl. Vera Grigorievna's life was connected with biology. The family had a relationship with creativity only through the father’s side, and even then it was of a technical nature. Lazar Natanovich Meerovich, working as a factory engineer at a scientific institute, patented several inventions. In addition to Lesha, his sister Lena grew up in the family; she was older.

After completing training at secondary school Alyosha decides to connect his life with architecture and continues his studies at the Moscow Architectural Institute. Within the walls of the university, the young man is seriously interested in music, and connects his entire subsequent life with it. Together with Alexey Romanov, a colleague in several musical projects, they, being successful students, went through expulsion from the institute according to the delusional Soviet instructions “on cleansing students from hairy evil spirits” and subsequent reinstatement.

Back in the last century, the mid-70s, a young man created his first team, calling it “Danger Zone”, later, in ’76, changing the name to “Kuznetsky Most”, in honor of a famous street in the center of Moscow. Even then, he wrote several songs that later became famous when performed by “Resurrection.”

"Resurrection"

The history of the group, which celebrated its fortieth anniversary in 1919, begins in the spring of 1979. The musically gifted architect becomes the band's lead guitarist.

Young, ambitious musicians without proper equipment or any repertoire gathered for rehearsals in Makarevich’s apartment. In 2-3 weeks, about 10 songs were created that were included in the first album “Resurrection”. The author of several of them was Alexey.

They were fundamentally different, each had a unique timbre, but all together it looked and sounded beautiful. In addition, 1991 was the year of graduation in the amateur group, there were no further prospects. And Makarevich promised to create a girls’ alliance out of them.

At the very beginning of his activity, the producer again educated group The “Lyceum” was responsible for every little detail: what the girls would wear, how they would go out and look on stage, how they would cut their hair, what kind of gestures and facial expressions the singers would have.

The first independent songs were the producer’s works from the “Resurrection” repertoire. Subsequently, Makarevich wrote many songs for the Lyceum. The most famous and beloved was, of course, “Autumn”. During the life of the producer, the Lyceum group released 10 albums.

Over the 28 years of the group’s existence, the composition has changed more than once, but the soloist and face has always been daughter Nastya, who became a producer after the death of her adoptive father and brought to life his order - to grow and move forward.

The year 2002 was marked for the accomplished producer by participating in television program“Become a Star”, where his task was to select applicants for participation. As a result of the project, the young group “Other Rules” was born.
