Childhood and youth

The popular singer was born in 1968 into an ordinary family. His ancestors were not only Russians, but also Udmurts. Sergei’s mother and father worked at the S.M. Kirov plant. These were simple people, a simple working-class neighborhood, where children played volleyball in the yard or, in a simple “six” fight, tried to play songs that were famous in those years.

At school, Nagovitsyn studied poorly, mostly with C grades. But in boxing he had no equal - he even became a candidate for master of sports. Other sports were just as easy for the trained boy to master, especially volleyball, which his father taught him.

The “gangster 90s” already in those years firmly reigned in the territory of the working-class district of Zakamsk, where the singer lived. And the laws there were cruel, teaching how to survive and be strong. Among gray Khrushchev apartments, drunken neighbors or violent showdowns, children grew up and learned worldly wisdom. The proximity of the colony, which was very close, had a great influence on the atmosphere of those places.

After graduating from school, Nagovitsyn planned to study at the Perm Medical Institute. However, after studying for only a year, he received a summons to the army and went to defend Batumi, the hot spot of those years.

The constant threat of death hardened Sergei Nagovitsyn and greatly influenced his future biography - during his years of service in the army, he finally matured.

Family of Sergei Nagovitsyn

Sergei Nagovitsyn's family has well-known Udmurt roots. The performer’s great-uncle, Iosif Alekseevich Nagovitsyn, is known in the political history of Russia as the People’s Commissar of Social Security of the RSFSR. He was a famous participant in the Russian Revolution of 1905. A street in Izhevsk is named after the politician; among city residents the street is jokingly called “Vitsyn’s leg.” There is also a monument in honor of Joseph Nikolaevich in the city.

Sergei's parents are simple factory workers. Mother Tatyana Alexandrovna and father Boris Nikolaevich worked at the Kirov plant. It was his father who instilled in the musician a love of sports, as he himself coached the volleyball team in his hometown. Father and son were buried side by side in the same cemetery; the father outlived Sergei by 7 years. The bereavement of his son had a detrimental effect on the health of Boris Nikolaevich.

Music

Only after starting to serve in the army did Nagovitsyn become seriously interested in the guitar and even recorded his first songs. According to critics, the artist’s early work is reminiscent of the songs of the famous Viktor Tsoi.

Returning from Batumi, the singer got a job at the Perm Gorgaz - after all, the choice of work in his small homeland was extremely scarce. However, it was thanks to this place that Nagovitsyn began to consciously engage in creativity: he played in a rock band, the members of which were other Gorgaz employees. Considering the specifics of the area where these people lived and worked, their songs reflected the surrounding reality, and Nagovitsyn’s thieves’ folklore was a great success - the group helped Sergei with the arrangements of the songs.

Sergey Nagovitsyn

The group's first album was recorded in 1991 and, despite the fact that it sold a small number of copies (only a thousand copies) in Perm alone, it helped the group get closer to success. The following year, the producer invites Nagovitsyn to record his songs. Sergei agreed and left to conquer Moscow, where he lived for only six months: life in the capital disappointed the aspiring singer, he chose to break the contract and return to his native Perm.

This step was of great importance in the artist’s career. Once in his native land, the singer managed to develop his own unique style, combining urban romance, criminal lyrics and disco rhythms in his songs. As a result, by 1994, Sergei was already the author of many songs, which made him popular not only in his hometown.

All-Russian fame came to Nagovitsyn in 1996, when his song “Dori-Dori” was broadcast by the radio station “Radio Russian Chanson”. After this, the biography of Sergei Nagovitsyn changed a lot - and now many know him as the author of criminal, “prison” songs, although in fact the famous singer was never in prison.

Accident

Although Nagovitsyn had never been to the zone, he nevertheless became an unwitting culprit in the death of a person - as a result of a car accident, the driver of one of the cars involved in the accident died. In the pre-New Year's turmoil, Sergei was rushing along a seemingly empty road; he was drunk and therefore did not notice the obstacle that suddenly appeared.

As a result of a collision with a car that had already been involved in this accident, Sergei rammed a parked unmarked car and ran over its driver. To the surprise of the investigation, he was not given a prison sentence, although Nagovitsyn could have been in prison for 5 years because of such a tragic “mistake.”

In order to somehow make amends for the relatives of the deceased, Sergei took upon himself to pay for the funeral. After such a cruel lesson from fate, Nagovitsyn went on a drinking binge for a long time - he could not forgive himself for causing the death of another person.

Personal life

At the medical institute, where Sergei Nagovitsyn entered before the army, in the first month of his studies he met a beautiful student Inna. Later, during his service in Batumi, the future singer looked with pleasure at the photos that the girl sent him and read letters from his beloved, where she wrote to him about her love and how she was waiting for his return.

Returning from the army, Sergei married Inna, and shortly before his death, the couple had a daughter, Evgenia.

After the singer’s death, his wife began performing songs that had not yet been published by the musician, and now she wants to record a music video in memory of her beloved husband.

Death

The singer had a presentiment of his death, which he often talked about with Inna. Nagovitsyn warned his wife that they would only live together for 10 years, which was later confirmed. The musician more than once came to the cemetery to visit buried friends and relatives and raised his glass, saying: “I’ll see you soon.” A year before his death, Sergei painted a monument for his own grave.

Grave of Sergei Nagovitsyn

After one of the New Year's concerts, which took place in Kurgan on December 20, 1999, Sergei died suddenly. The cause of the musician's death was sudden cardiac arrest caused by a stroke. The artist’s funeral took place on December 23 at the Zakamsky cemetery. After Sergei’s death, his father was ill for a long time and passed away in 2006, never coming to terms with the loss of his son. Boris Nikolaevich’s grave is located next to the musician’s burial place.

Interesting Facts

Fighting is undoubtedly bad, but in the case of Nagovitsyn, one of the fights benefited him. After a strong blow to the back of the head, he lost consciousness, and when he woke up in the hospital, he realized that he had become a poet. Poems and music began to appear easily and freely in his head, which had recovered from the blow.

Another interesting fact from Sergei’s creative biography is that he did not escape the fate of many famous performers - being a sensitive, receptive person, he began to drink a lot. And, of course, he justified his “weakness” by saying that he could not refuse a good person (Nagovitsyn was often invited for a drink by his acquaintances who had spent twenty years behind bars). Unfortunately, alcohol greatly changed the singer’s character - he was kind and gentle by nature; after drinking, he became uncontrollable.

The death of the artist and its causes

Now let's talk about the reasons for the death of Sergei Nagovitsyn.

The biography of our today's hero, unfortunately, was not without alcoholic binges, and this could not but affect his health. And shortly before the death of Sergei Borisovich, the doctors even told him that if he continued to drink, then all this would turn into a tragedy for him. After these words, Nagovitsyn seemed to have settled down and went to the hospital, but then calls began to arrive from concert organizers demanding the promised performances. Sergei Borisovich’s wife was categorically against the tour, because at that time her husband had not yet fully recovered. But Sergei is used to keeping his promises - he goes on tour.

The experiences of Inna, the wife of Sergei Nagovitsyn, were not accidental. On December 21, 1999, a Russian chansonnier dies of a cerebral hemorrhage on the way to Kurgan. There was also information that the artist’s death was due to a heart attack, but there is still no official confirmation of this.

We have looked at the biography of Sergei Nagovitsyn and the causes of his death, now it’s time for interesting facts:

  • It turns out that Sergei Borisovich felt the imminent onset of death. So, one September evening, sitting at the same table with his beloved mother, he confessed to her that he felt that he would soon die. And in general, in the last year of his life, Nagovitsyn had a lot of poems in which he touched on the topic of death.
  • Nagovitsyn’s favorite performers were the Kino group, Alexander Rosenbaum, Vladimir Vysotsky and Arkady Severny. Their songs had a great influence on the work and biography of Sergei Nagovitsyn.
  • And “Nagovitsyn was in prison”, and “was a thief in law” - whatever these journalists will come up with in order to create a stir. All this is an obvious lie! But, despite this, in criminal circles the singer felt like he belonged on the board.
  • In life, Sergei Borisovich was a very calm and thoughtful person, although exactly until alcohol appeared in him.
  • In addition to boxing, our today's hero was also involved in sports such as football, volleyball and basketball. By the way, Sergei’s father was a volleyball coach for some time.
  • Nagovitsyn picked up a guitar for the first time in 10th grade.
  • But Sergei’s first original songs began to appear during his military service.
  • Nagovitsyn also had some drawbacks - frequent binges. While intoxicated, he often started fights and brawls.
  • Based on the songs of our hero, director Alexander Debaluk made a wonderful film called “Broken Love.”
  • Eight years after the death of Sergei Borisovich, a memorial plaque was installed on the house where he lived his last years. As expected, a lot of people came to the grand opening.
  • Few people know, but Nagovitsyn was not very tall - 174 centimeters.
  • Shortly before his death, Sergei Borisovich drew a sketch of the monument and bequeathed it to be placed on his grave.
  • As Nagovitsyn himself admitted, his hits were those compositions that took no more than fifteen minutes to write. The rest of the songs, on average, were created in two to three days.

The “Russian chanson” genre is rich in the names of talented authors and performers. Details of the lives of musicians have always been interesting to fans of their work. And this, most likely, is not simple philistine curiosity, but the desire of listeners to understand where the author got exactly this vision of life, whether the songs are a description of the personal path of the performer himself. The biography was also always interesting to listeners, since his songs did not leave anyone indifferent, excited them with their depth, touched, as they say, to the quick.
