Biography and the artist's career are very interesting. If only because he was born not in Ukraine.

Childhood in Tajikistan

The future musician was born in the Tajik SSR, in the city of Sovetobad, May 24, 1964. Papa Oleg, Yuri Pavlovich, having completed his studies at the Kiev Medical Institute, went to work on his specialty in northern Tajikistan, where he worked for ten years. Oleg's mother, Anna Alekseevna, worked as a teacher.

Moving to Russia, then - to Ukraine

In 1972, Oleg's family was forced to leave Tajikistan, as the mother of the future musician could hardly tolerate the hot climate of the republic, probably because she herself was from the north of the country.

It was decided to move to the city of Kirovsk, Murmansk region, but there they lived only a couple of years, after it was decided to return to their father's homeland - to Ukraine.

At school, the future musician was also doing well. After the successful completion of school life, the future musician entered the Polytechnic Institute. At about the same time, he began to travel through the cities of Ukraine and study the folk epic and the work of his country. The experience accumulated during this time largely helped the musician in his later life.

There, the band recorded their next album, which was called "Muzika". The main song of the album is "Spring", which received numerous awards and prizes. At the same time, "Vopli Vidoplyasova" go on a big tour around the CIS.
