Biography

Born January 13, 1972, grew up in a completely prosperous family. Ancestors have nothing to do with music-creativity. Father - Misha Pakhomov (born 1946). Mother - Natalya Pakhomova (born 1949). In 1977, Konstantin's younger brother, Sergey Pakhomov, was born, who is currently the admin of Konstantin's forum. Kostya's ancestors were against his musical career.

From 1979 to 1988, Konstantin studied at the Secondary School No. 55 of the town of Orenburg on Tkachev Street, house 20. At school, he studied in a literary special class - it was enough above the roof. For some time he worked as a DJ in the local recreation center "Orbita".

He joined the Gentle May group in 1988, when it was already popular. Once, at the Orbita Palace of Culture, where all the recordings of May were held, a local schoolboy, Kostya Pakhomov, knocked on the door. By that time, he had already graduated from a music school, knew music theory very well and had a trained voice. After listening to him, Sergei could not help but appreciate his capabilities and took him to the group. “It all started with an ordinary school ensemble. He didn’t even have a name, just VIA, how stylish it was then. We played everything from the Beatles to contemporary music of the time. I was the vocalist. Surely this ensemble gave me something. Since after the 8th grade I managed to get a job at the Orenburg Philharmonic and worked with the famous group "Alpha" (when Sergey Sarychev was still there). I immediately studied at school. I immediately took a risk for the "first flight" to gain altitude abruptly - I recorded an album in "Tender May" ... "

In May-June 1988, for the first time, he took part in the tour of the group as part of the Russian Field festival. With his songs, he performed before the public of the Orenburg region. He wrote the lyrics for the songs "Evening of a Cool Winter", "What are you, summer", "Flowers" and "First Flight".

Pakhomov performed at more than 50 concerts as a duet with Sergei Kuznetsov. In July 1988, he moved to Moscow on the advice of Andrei Razin, but a year later he left the group due to a conflict with Razin: according to Sergei Kuznetsov, Konstantin was a very independent and self-sufficient artist, which irritated Razin.

In 1989, in the TV show Wider Circle! Kostya Pakhomov performed the song "What are you, summer?"

In August 1989, Pakhomov released his own solo album "The Ballad of Love", most of the songs of which were written by Sergei Kuznetsov.

In 1991, Konstantin participated in Rostov-on-Don in Sergei Minaev's program "50/50" where he sang the song "You, Me and the Sea".

After touring with Sergei Serkov, he ends his musical career and begins acting in films. His first and last major role was the role in Vitaly Makarov's film Mannequin in Love. The film can be attributed to the genre of adventure comedy with chases, racketeers and, of course, a romantic story. Together with Konstantin, Anna Tikhonova (feature film “Black Nights in the Town of Sochi”), Boris Shcherbakov (feature film “A Case in the Square 36-80”, “Coast”, “Groom from Miami”, “Apple saved"), Misha Svetin (feature film "The Man from Capuchin Boulevard", "Twelve Chairs"), Svetlana Nemolyaeva (feature film "Garage", "Office Romance"), Lyudmila Khityaeva (feature film "Ekaterina Voronina", “Virgin Soil Upturned”, “Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka”, “Evdokia”) and Ilya Oleinikov (program “Gorodok”). The songs that sound in the movie, specifically "I Love" and "On the Bike", were not written by Konstantin. Lyrics by Simon Osiashvili, music by Viktor Chaika. His partner was Anya Tikhonova, the daughter of the famous scout Vyacheslav Vasilyevich Stirlitz. Filming was carried out in Sevastopol and Yalta, because of which the entire national economic activity of the Crimean region was paralyzed. the only thing people did was stick around the set and watch Kostya. Such things were going on… “Instead of the planned 3 months, the shooting stretched for a year. But, I think, the picture to some extent will be able to make up for my year-long silence, because my songs sound in it, one ancient - “Evening lights the fires”, and two new ones, written especially for the cinema. Later, this film began to be shown on TV3.

After that, a beautiful debut, Pakhomov completely leaves the stage.

Few knew that Pakhomov had seven years of music school behind him in the violin class. This is at the moment, when everything is sold and bought, virtually anyone who wants to play the violin can take. Previously, this was unrealistic. Only those who had the narrowest musical ear were taken to the violin.

Konstantin Pakhomov is not currently engaged in show business at all, and he does not like to talk about his own field of activity. He has his own forum on the web, although he occasionally appears there, perhaps due to his own employment. Konstantin was registered on the forum on October 2, 2011 at 17:49. It is clear that the past favorite of the public is not indifferent to oriental sports. He reads a lot, loves the work of Gumilyov, Pasternak and Mandelstam, as well as Bulgakov and Rybakov. The most beloved hero of the film is the Count of Monte Cristo in the performance of Gerard Depardieu. Interested in the history of Russia. Speaks English. Konstantin loves to relax in a small cozy company. In the main, he likes to relax in nature and away from the bustle of the city. There are several favorite places - the Czech Republic, for example. Earlier, Kostya plunged into the hole at Epiphany. Now only from a bucket of ice water is doused. Konstantin does not wear bracelets and various gold chains on his arm, because he does not see the point in this. He loves Konstantin and the Russian bath and visits it from time to time. Only now the snow does not happen every winter so that you can jump into it. Since his birthday falls on the Old New Year, on January 13, Konstantin celebrates a double holiday, although he no longer loves the New Year and no longer believes in fairy tales. And in childhood, the ancestors put gifts under the Christmas tree for Serezha and Kostya. Even at the moment, after many years, the Pakhomov family has such a good Russian tradition of putting gifts under the Christmas tree.

Zodiac symbol: CAPRICORN.

One of the members of the website in PM asked a fascinating question for Konstantin. Question: Why doesn't Kostya try to earn extra money on the former glory? For example, re-release your songs, make modern cover versions, sing in an 80s disco, give a dozen interviews. Konstantin's answer: “What do the attempts to earn extra money on the former glory lead to? To the fact that this glory (read Recognition) is returning. Shows on TV begin, rotation on Radio, interviews with photos in the press. Accordingly, this is followed by invitations to tour. That's something, but I don't feel like going on tour at all. And that's why she WAS fame, that the departure from the stage was Conscious. And then, it took a very solid period of time so that they would not recognize and could breathe freely. In other words, I'm not going to make money with this. And if I'm going to go on tour, it will be only for my own enjoyment. And when will I have such a desire, and will it appear ... I can’t foretell this.” And he adds that he will not organize meetings with admirers and fans, if only with like-minded people. And he also adds that a book about him will never be published, because he himself categorically does not want this and he keeps his whole life a great secret and does not want to tell anyone these secrets and it is unlikely that he will ever want to! It’s only clear that Konstantin has not been married to this time, and, unfortunately, he doesn’t have kids either, but in the material sense he feels great. “I am not married, no kids. I don't want it yet. Young yet. He did a lot of things, including music. I am a rather secretive person, I do not like to devote others to the details of my own life.”

In 2006, Konstantin Pakhomov's CD with the best songs was released in the "Grand collection" series.

In 2007 he graduated from the Metropolitan Municipal Institute of Culture (MGIK) and now MGUKI in Khimki on Library Street, 13 and holds a senior position in the metropolitan ice cream company Ais-Fili.

Representation

Pakhomov was a balanced little boy. Somewhat selfish. Very well read. He did not smoke and categorically opposed alcohol (it seems that until now he has not indulged in these things). Naturally, in everyday life such a bouquet of pluses only decorates a person. But on the stage, in my opinion, you need a rebel. At the very least, I needed a rebel... I saw that Pakhomov had his own musical path. And he will certainly find her, if you help him a little, support him.

About everything about this - about his future, about music, pop and traditional, we talked with Kostya in the rarest moments of rest between concerts. It turned out that he does not like disco, not a fan of pop affairs. He was pulled by harsh music. Was it possible to talk with Shatunov about the classics? .. Yes, he would have fallen asleep in two seconds! .. Kostya was curious about which of the Greats I had in my idols. And I told him why I love Antonio Vivaldi, why I only like the 14th note by Ludwig Ivanovich Beethoven, and why I can't stand Prokofiev and Scriabin. - So how are they atonal? - thought Kostya, and this was not a boy's question, but a spouse's.

Even in our own abstruse conversations, we touched on stellar issues. But all the same, I did not go to revelations with Kostya. He didn't need them. He was self sufficient. Kostya and I didn't eat a pood of salt during the Russian Field festival. Fire and water did not pass. Copper pipes - too (not in a brass band toured). But the exhausting work schedule, enervating loading and unloading of the apparatus - they all survived. And Kostya turned out to be a reliable employee." Sergey Kuznetsov

Merits

Pakhomov served under the contract in 1995-1996 as a reconnaissance machine gunner, commander of a special purpose group in the Chechen Republic, in 2001-2002 as a senior reconnaissance machine gunner, commander of a special purpose group, special purpose detachment in the Chechen Republic. He was awarded the medals "For Military Valor" and "For Courage".

There are many legendary musical groups and solo singers of the 80-90s era. At the same time, for some reason, the Soviet stage was reluctant to accept newcomers into its ranks. It was only in post-perestroika times that this entrenched clan was shaken. And who succeeded! A group of orphans with their lyrical repertoire, before which the no less legendary “Na-na” later took off their hats.

The idea of ​​writing this post was inspired by the phone ringtone of my work colleague. Silence. Her phone rings loudly, she is not at the workplace at that moment, we enjoy the most beautiful melody for some time. Then we asked her what the melody was, it turned out to be Kostya Pakhomov's song "Birds". Later, during a lunch break, it turned out that in her youth she was a fan of Tender May, but not Yura Shatunov, but Kostya Pakhomov. She told how she was more than once at concerts, how Shatunov, to put it mildly, did not behave very correctly with these sobbing, girl fans, which cannot be said about his unspoken competitor K. Pakhomov.

It turns out that the army of Tender May fans was secretly divided into two groups. Some idolized Shatunov, others were captivated by the bewitching voice of Pakhomov. Two stars, two brightest personalities, but completely different.

Y. Shatunov is a difficult teenager, who early learned the cruel laws of the street, abandoned by his father, survived alcoholism and the death of his mother, the betrayal of relatives, all the “charms” of life in a boarding school. Today the singer lives and works in Germany and rarely gives interviews.

K. Pakhomov grew up in a prosperous family, was older and the only one in the group who had a musical education and a trained voice. As a schoolboy, he studied in a literary special class, he was a well-read, calm, intelligent child. Parents were against Kostya's musical career, nevertheless, his rapid rise to the Olympus of the rudimentary show business occurred, albeit for a very short time (1988-1991). Creating the impression of a serious, adult, self-sufficient person, Pakhomov in the clips looks like a prince from a fairy tale. Today, we know almost nothing about his life. It is only known for certain that he took part in the hostilities in the Caucasus in the late 90s and has awards. There are suggestions that he lives abroad, has his own business. It is also assumed that he lives safely in his homeland, in Orenburg, under a different surname.

Few people know, but it was with the advent of Pakhomov in the group (1988) that a split occurred, and Shatunov for some time even concedes leadership to him. A whole album was recorded with songs performed by Pakhomov, which for some reason did not receive wide popularity. And it included only one song performed by Shatunov.

Who knows, perhaps if the strategy of A. Razin to keep Yu. Shatunov in the first positions in the group by any means was not so manic, we would have known a completely different “Tender May”. Professional, intelligent, discreet, as he, if only for a moment, but nevertheless did. K. Pakhomov…

And which of them is closer to you personally? The choice is not easy But, let's, at least within the framework of Maycharm, try to imagine the true leader of "Tender May".

Who would you like to see as the leader of the group "Tender May"

Poll completed.


A few years ago, a feature film called “Tender May” was shot.
I have watched this movie. I can say that what was shown in this film ... all this is very different from what I personally remember about the events of that time. ;)
It is so strange to realize that several generations of people have already grown up who learn about this whole story only from other people's words and retellings. These people never saw with their own eyes what happened then. :(

In fact, around “Tender May” there was a real mass hysteria, the equal of which in our country has never been and never will be.
Many have heard that the Kino group was a cult group.
But what happened around the Kino group and Viktor Tsoi could not even be compared with the mass insanity that accompanied Laskovy May.
(And by the way, “Kino” was already after “May”;))

Many people know about the Christmas meetings of Alla Borisovna Pugacheva.
But they don't know that a series of Laskovy May concerts called "White Roses in White Winter" were held in parallel.
These concerts gathered the entire Olympic sports complex for two weeks in a row and completely overshadowed all other concerts
(as far as I remember, concerts were held annually from December 30 to January 10)
White Roses in the White Winter was a really cool show for that time: scenery, costumes, ice show... everything was in full swing.

So what was the secret of such a resounding success?

Tell us about yourself…

Music to me was, as they say, deep in the drum ... the degree of noise, no more and no less.
I studied at a music school, had a good ear, but hated music with a fierce hatred ... until the very first time I heard the group “Tender May”.
So what got me so hooked?

I personally never fell in love with pop stars.
It didn't happen to me then, and it doesn't happen to me now.
The energy got me hooked! For the first time in my life, as they say, I caught an emotion.

No professionalism can replace emotions!
If it is not there, then no purity of performance can compensate for this.

Of all the arts, it is music that is most associated with emotional perception.

I almost never listen to the text. Most of the time it just doesn't interest me.
The text for me is, first of all, a continuation of the melody… something that makes the melody more embossed and expressive.
And the voice is an absolutely equal (but leading!) musical instrument.
I have very high requirements for texts, and, frankly, not much meets these requirements. So in most cases I just ignore the text.
The main thing is that he should not be so stupid or vulgar that he frankly begins to annoy.

I don't believe in love lamentations in songs and poems.
Never took it seriously.
No matter how it was written, all the same, all this is simulated and artificial ... so, I never liked romances and did not listen in principle.

Personally, I have always been interested in a different ... mood!
And “Tender May” had it!

You need to understand what the Soviet Union is, and what time it was.
The people were very strongly enslaved. Any liberty in dress or behavior was condemned. Boys were cut short. Girls were not allowed to wear earrings at school (not to mention the use of cosmetics).
The children sang exclusively children's songs written by Pakhmutova or Shainsky, or patriotic songs.
I still remember some of what they learned in the choir:

“Do you hear, comrade, the storm is coming,
Our troops are fighting with the whites,
Happiness can only be found in struggle.
Gaidar steps forward.
Gaidar steps ahead…”

“Sunny bunny plays on the desk
Calls us to pioneer summer
We will soon lay out routes on the map
And let's go on a long journey
Let's go along the roads, where once
There were battles, a war broke out
To the unnamed dead soldiers
The members of the Yunarmiya will return the names…”

And suddenly, against the background of all this, like a bolt from the blue, the group “Tender May” appears.
Before you are not nerdy boys in glasses and with a daddy under his arm.
In front of you are completely relaxed street boys, mobile and energetic ... the kind to whom I personally, due to my internal structure and temperament, have always been drawn. It was these guys who were my childhood friends, and for me personally they were, as they say, my own on the board.

These were not at all the people who were supposed to be on stage.
Orphans… for whom nothing at all shone in life.
(In childhood, such things are not particularly realized, and yet ...)
And these orphans rise to the stage and literally blow up the whole country.

1) Energy, unusual lyrics for that time ...
(Children were simply not supposed to sing what LM sang, not musically, not lyrically.
Children were not supposed to be on stage at all, if you do not take into account children's choirs and groups, where they were treated with condescension, like children, and not as equals in the shop) ...

2) Fashionable music (essentially not much different from the Modern Talking music admired by the older generation)…

Not many people knew English, only a few traveled abroad (as a rule, diplomats and some especially successful artists) ...
Foreign languages ​​were of no interest to anyone, and people did not seek to learn them.

You need to understand that at that time there was practically no foreign music played, there were no music channels, there were no radio stations, the TVs for most people were still black and white and showed only two channels: the first and second.
Through these channels, endless broadcasts of the congresses of the Central Committee of the CPSU were transmitted all the time.
My parents constantly watched this dregs, and I simply hated these conventions.
I remember being very angry at my parents for their involvement in politics. I didn’t understand why they were spending so much time on this… despite the fact that they themselves told me: “It doesn’t matter who we vote for. All the same, they will choose those who need it.”

Against the background of all this, the Russian analogue of a fashionable foreign group (there were only five of them at that time) was much closer and more understandable to our listener.

3) Unusual relaxed behavior for entertainers of that time, age,
fashionable clothes, style ... all this played a role.

In fact, “Tender May” was a cultural protest of the younger generation against the stiffness that reigned in the cultural space of the USSR in those years.
It was something absolutely fresh, alive and new.
And with all this, no vulgarity in the lyrics.
In fact, the songs are kind, childish and almost naive…
If we compare with what modern “stars” are now singing to us from the TV screen ... a completely understandable misunderstanding arises, why, in fact, in the late eighties, LM was attacked with such fierce hatred and aggression?

I remember that in 1989 I was vacationing in Kyrgyzstan with my parents.
The main hit of all discos was this song
Spinning every day. Constantly!


Konstantin Mikhailovich Pakhomov(born January 13, 1972 in Orenburg, USSR, Russia) - Soviet and Russian musician, singer, former member of the Laskovy May group, businessman.

Biography

Born January 13, 1972, grew up in a prosperous family. Parents have nothing to do with music-creativity. Father - Mikhail Pakhomov (born 1946). Mom - Natalya Pakhomova (born 1949). In 1977, Konstantin's younger brother, Sergey Pakhomov, was born, who is now the administrator of Konstantin's forum. Kostya's parents were against his musical career.

From 1979 to 1988, Konstantin studied at the Secondary School No. 55 in the city of Orenburg on Tkachev Street, house 20. At school, he studied in a literary special class - it was enough above the roof. For some time he worked as a DJ in the local recreation center "Orbita".

He got into the Tender May group in 1988, without even knowing it. Once, in the recreation center "Orbita", where all the recordings of "May" were held, a local schoolboy Kostya Pakhomov knocked on the door. By that time, he had already graduated from music school, knew music theory well and had a trained voice.

In May-June 1988, for the first time, he took part in the tour of the group as part of the Russian Field festival. With his songs, he performed before the public of the Orenburg region. He wrote the lyrics of the songs “Cold Winter Evening”, “What are you, summer”, “Flowers” ​​and “First Flight”.

Pakhomov performed at more than 50 concerts as a duet with Sergei Kuznetsov. In July 1988, he moved to Moscow on the advice of Andrei Razin, but a year later he left the group due to a conflict with Razin: according to Sergei Kuznetsov, Konstantin was a very independent and self-sufficient artist, which irritated Razin.

In 1989, in the TV program Wider Circle! Kostya Pakhomov performed the song "What are you, summer?"

In August 1989, Pakhomov released his solo album "The Ballad of Love", most of the songs of which were written by Sergei Kuznetsov.

In 1991, Konstantin participated in Rostov in Sergei Minaev's program "50/50" where he sang the song "You, me and the sea".

After touring with Sergei Serkov, he ends his musical career and begins acting in films. His first and last major role was the role in Vitaly Makarov's film Mannequin in Love. The film can be attributed to the genre of adventure comedy with chases, racketeers and, of course, a romantic story. Together with Konstantin, Anna Tikhonova (feature film “Dark Nights in the City of Sochi”), Boris Shcherbakov (feature film “A case in the square 36-80”, “Shore”, “Groom from Miami”, “Apple saved"), Mikhail Svetin (feature film "The Man from Capuchin Boulevard", "Twelve Chairs"), Svetlana Nemolyaeva (feature film "Garage", "Office Romance"), Lyudmila Khityaeva (feature film "Ekaterina Voronina", “Virgin Soil Upturned”, “Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka”, “Evdokia”) and Ilya Oleinikov (TV program “Gorodok”). The songs sounding in the film, namely "I love" and "On a motorcycle" were not written by Konstantin. Lyrics by Simon Osiashvili, music by Viktor Chaika. His partner was Anya Tikhonova, the daughter of the famous intelligence officer Vyacheslav Vasilyevich Stirlitz. Filming was carried out in Sevastopol and Yalta, due to which the entire economic activity of the Crimean region was paralyzed. the only thing people did was stick around the set and watch Kostya. Such things were going on… “Instead of the planned three months, the shooting dragged on for a year. But, I think, the picture to some extent will be able to compensate for my year-long silence, because my songs sound in it, one old one - “Evening lights the fires”, and two new ones, written especially for the cinema.” Later, this film began to be shown on TV3.

After this wonderful debut, Pakhomov completely leaves the stage.

Few knew that Pakhomov had seven years of music school behind him in the violin class. This is now, when everything is sold and bought, practically anyone can take violin lessons. Previously, this was not possible. Only those who had the most delicate ear for music were taken to the violin.

Konstantin Pakhomov is not currently engaged in show business at all, and he does not like to talk about his field of activity. He has his own forum on the Internet, although he rarely appears there, perhaps due to his employment. It is known that the former favorite of the public is not indifferent to oriental sports. He reads a lot, loves the work of Gumilyov, Pasternak and Mandelstam. The most beloved movie character is the Count of Monte Cristo, played by Gerard Depardieu. Interested in the history of Russia. Speaks English. Konstantin loves to relax in a small cozy company. Mostly likes to relax in nature and away from the bustle of the city. There are several favorite places - the Czech Republic, for example. Kostya used to plunge into the hole at Epiphany. Now only from a bucket of ice water is doused. Konstantin does not wear bracelets and various gold chains on his arm, because he does not see the point in this. He loves Konstantin and the Russian bath and visits it periodically. Only here the snow does not happen every winter so that you can jump into it. Since his birthday falls on the Old New Year, on January 13, Constantine celebrates a double holiday.

One of the site participants in a personal message was asked an interesting question for Konstantin. Question: Why isn't Kostya trying to earn extra money on his former glory? For example, re-release your songs, make modern cover versions, sing in an 80s disco, give a dozen interviews. Konstantin's answer: “What do attempts to earn extra money on former glory lead to? To the fact that this glory (read Familiarity) returns. Shows on TV begin, rotation on Radio, interviews with photographs in the press. Accordingly, this is followed by invitations to tour. That's something, and I don't want to go on tour at all. And the glory it was because the departure from the stage was Conscious. And then, it took a very decent period of time to stop recognizing and you could breathe freely. That is, I'm not going to make money with this. And if I'm going to go on tour, it will be only for my own pleasure. And when will I have such a desire, and will it appear ... I can’t predict this.” And he adds that he will not organize meetings with fans and fans, if only with like-minded people. And he also adds that a book about him will never be published, since he himself categorically does not want this and he keeps his whole life a great secret and he never wants to tell these secrets to anyone and is unlikely to ever want to! It is only known that Konstantin is still not married and he has no children yet either, but he feels great financially. “I am not married, no children. I do not want yet. Still young. He did a lot of things, including music. I am a rather secretive person, I do not like to devote others to the details of my life.”

In 2006, Konstantin Pakhomov's CD with the best songs was released in the "Grand collection" series.

In 2007 he graduated from the Moscow State Institute of Culture (MGIK) and now MGUKI in Khimki on Library Street, 13.

Pakhomov was a balanced boy. Somewhat selfish. Very well read. He did not smoke and categorically opposed alcohol (it seems that he still does not indulge in these things). Of course, in everyday life, such a bouquet of virtues only adorns a person. But on the stage, in my opinion, you need a rebel. At least I needed a rebel... I saw that Pakhomov had his own musical path. And he will definitely find her, if he gets a little help, support him.

About everything about this - about his future, about music, pop and classical, we talked with Kostya in rare moments of rest between concerts. It turned out that he does not like disco, not a fan of pop affairs. Serious music attracted him. Was it possible to discuss the classics with Shatunov? .. Yes, he would have fallen asleep in two seconds! .. Kostya was wondering which of the Greats I had in my idols. And I told him why I love Antonio Vivaldi, why I only like the 14th note by Ludwig Ivanovich Beethoven, and why I hate Prokofiev and Scriabin. - Because they are atonal? - guessed Kostya, and this was not a question of a boy, but of a husband.

Even in our abstruse conversations we touched on astral questions. But I did not go to revelations with Kostya. He didn't need them. He was self sufficient. Kostya and I didn't eat a pood of salt during the Russian Field festival. Fire and water did not pass. Copper pipes - too (not in a brass band toured). But the exhausting work schedule, enervating loading and unloading of the apparatus - they all survived. And Kostya turned out to be a reliable colleague."

The Laskovy May group, which started show business in Russia, recently turned 25 years old. Soloist and producer Andrei Razin gave a festive concert in Moscow, Yuri Shatunov performed in St. Petersburg that day. They did not congratulate each other. And is there any reason for fun?

The guys went missing and spent time in prison

In the 80s, "Tender May" literally blew up the country. Surprisingly, but a fact: the newly minted stars had neither a voice nor hearing, the lyrics of the melodies were below average. But at their concerts, the fans were hysterical and waving their bras. Some, unable to get an idol's autograph, tried to open their veins in the toilets of concert halls.

“The loot flowed like a river, we carried money in suitcases,” the producer said proudly Andrey Razin. It was he who came up with the story with twin groups at one time. He recruited cute kids in orphanages, put together several groups, and they traveled around the country. Concerts of the popular group could be held in 5-10 cities at the same time. They sang to the soundtrack. In response to the demands of the fans to present the "face of the group" Yura Shatunov, the administrators replied: "He is sick."

We tried to find soloists of a popular group of different years. It turned out that many of them are already ... in the cemetery! Moreover, the guys died at a young age, before they reached the age of 25. There is no longer bass player Vyacheslav Ponomarev, keyboardists Igor Igoshin, Mikhail Sukhomlinov, Arvid Yurgaitis, vocalist Yuri Barabash ...

- I don’t remember exactly which of them died from what: someone was stabbed with a knife in a fight, someone went missing ... But really, many are gone. A few more people are in jail. Some kind of curse? Perhaps, - says the first composer and creator of the group, Sergei Kuznetsov. - I did not analyze why it happened and who is to blame. But there is some frightening pattern.

Our interlocutor also admitted: if he woke up in the morning with thoughts of "Tender May", expect trouble. It has already happened: either the pipe of the house will break, then the neighbors will flood ...

And the ex-soloist Konstantin Pakhomov, with whom we contacted by e-mail, does not even pronounce the name “Tender May” aloud. Only briefly - "LM". To avoid trouble. He doesn't talk about the past even with his friends.

The first fans were paid for the tantrum

The group was created at the Orenburg Orphanage No. 2 as an amateur art group by music lover Sergei Kuznetsov. At one of the combined concerts, the guys were seen by Andrey Razin from the Stavropol Territory, who set himself the goal of conquering Moscow. He persuaded young musicians to rush to the capital. Many ex-soloists belittle the merits of the cunning Razin, but it was he who arranged the concerts, introducing himself as Gorbachev's nephew (in fact, they are fellow countrymen with Mikhail Sergeyevich - from the village of Privolnoye, Stavropol Territory). Businessmen and politicians made concessions to him. And Razin brought the first crowd of girl fans under the door of one of the houses of culture, paying them to squeal ... And then there was a chain reaction.
