Biography

Kobyakov Arkady Olegovich is a singer who wrote poetry and music and himself performed songs with a guitar in the chanson genre. It so happened that he wrote and sang about the difficult life of those arrested, about love, about the tossing of the soul and the spiritual values of modern man.

Arkady was born in Nizhny Novgorod into a working-class family on June 2, 1976. His father is a car depot worker, and his mother made toys at a factory. The boy's talent manifested itself from early childhood. The kindergarten teacher noticed the child’s ability to sing. His grandmother, who lived with her parents, also drew attention to this. She insisted that her grandson be assigned to study in the choir, which had long existed in Nizhny Novgorod. So in 1982, at the age of six, Arkady was assigned to the piano department.

The childhood of Arkady Kobyakov

Kobyakov’s biography is full of events, but, unfortunately, not of a positive nature. This man had to go through many trials before earning the calm happiness of family life. Why did finding a family become the highest point of well-being for Arkady Kobyakov? The fact is that the singer’s childhood could not be called full and happy.

The early childhood of the boy, who was born in 1976 into an ordinary working-class family, was, however, quite prosperous. Parents were forced to constantly work, so from a very young age, Arkasha was raised by her grandmother. She instilled in him a love of art, and most importantly, music. Therefore, already in kindergarten, the teachers singled out the boy and strongly advised the parents to continue their son’s education in the musical direction.

At the age of 6, Arkady became a student of the prestigious boys' choir in Nizhny Novgorod (then Gorky). Musical education, thanks to his innate talent, was easy for Arkady. But the boy always had problems with behavior. He was prone to aggression, outright disobedience and simply hooligan and dangerous antics. Perhaps this constant craving for demonstrating protest against everything was the result of his mother leaving the family. She chose to leave for another man, leaving her son in the care of his father and grandmother. Of course, in the tender and unstable age of adolescence, such turning points in the family - the main support of any person - can lead to fatal consequences.

School

Arkady, like all his peers, studied at a comprehensive school. In elementary school, he was not so much an energetic child as a hooligan. Apparently, he lacked maternal love, and the internal emptiness that formed on this basis pushed him into the cruel world of the street. The mother left the family and did not take part in raising her son. She left for another man. At that time, Arkady was a little boy, and he needed his mother, who simply abandoned him. Studying at a music school did not save him from the dubious company of his peers and the thorny path of crimes.

Children's colony

In 1990, in the biography of Arkady Kobyakov, a fourteen-year-old boy, an event occurs as a result of which he ends up in a children's correctional colony for 3.5 years. It was a theft. In the colony, he continues to study at school and writes his first songs.

In 1993, before his release, his father died in a terrible accident on the highway leading to Arzamas. Six months before his release, Arkady learns that his mother is also gone - “people say that you’ve been gone for a long time.” In a correctional colony, he writes a poignant song “Hello, Mom.”

And again prison

In the biography of Arkady Kobyakov (photo below), this imprisonment was not the only one. When he was released after a correctional colony, he made a decision: to start living correctly, without breaking the laws.

He entered the Philharmonic, but he did not have the chance to graduate. His past behind bars made itself felt. Arkady had no one except friends with a criminal past, and they pulled him back onto this slippery slope. Group robbery with these comrades brought Arkady to the bunk for the second time in 1996. The term was given 6.5 years.

And this is not the last “step” in the biography of Arkady Kobyakov. The family could somehow protect him from the harmful influence of friends associated with the criminal world, but he had no one except these friends. His sentence came to an end, and in 2002 he was released to his long-awaited freedom. However, he forgot how to live in freedom. Without even serving a year, he ended up behind bars for another 4 years for fraud.

An excerpt characterizing Kobyakov, Arkady Olegovich

When the last convulsions of the body, abandoned by the spirit, took place, Princess Marya and Natasha were here. – Is it over?! - said Princess Marya, after his body had been lying motionless and cold in front of them for several minutes. Natasha came up, looked into the dead eyes and hurried to close them. She closed them and did not kiss them, but kissed what was her closest memory of him. “Where did he go? Where is he now?..” When the dressed, washed body lay in a coffin on the table, everyone came up to him to say goodbye, and everyone cried. Nikolushka cried from the painful bewilderment that tore his heart. The Countess and Sonya cried out of pity for Natasha and the fact that he was no more. The old count cried that soon, he felt, he would have to take the same terrible step. Natasha and Princess Marya were also crying now, but they were not crying from their personal grief; they wept from the reverent emotion that gripped their souls before the consciousness of the simple and solemn mystery of death that had taken place before them. The totality of causes of phenomena is inaccessible to the human mind. But the need to find reasons is embedded in the human soul. And the human mind, without delving into the innumerability and complexity of the conditions of phenomena, each of which separately can be represented as a cause, grabs the first, most understandable convergence and says: this is the cause. In historical events (where the object of observation is the actions of people), the most primitive convergence seems to be the will of the gods, then the will of those people who stand in the most prominent historical place - historical heroes. But one has only to delve into the essence of each historical event, that is, into the activities of the entire mass of people who participated in the event, to be convinced that the will of the historical hero not only does not guide the actions of the masses, but is itself constantly guided. It would seem that it is all the same to understand the significance of the historical event one way or another. But between the man who says that the peoples of the West went to the East because Napoleon wanted it, and the man who says that it happened because it had to happen, there is the same difference that existed between the people who argued that the earth stands firmly and the planets move around it, and those who said that they do not know what the earth rests on, but they know that there are laws governing the movement of it and other planets. There are no and cannot be reasons for a historical event, except for the only cause of all reasons. But there are laws that govern events, partly unknown, partly groped by us. The discovery of these laws is possible only when we completely renounce the search for causes in the will of one person, just as the discovery of the laws of planetary motion became possible only when people renounced the idea of \u200b\u200bthe affirmation of the earth. After the Battle of Borodino, the enemy’s occupation of Moscow and its burning, historians recognize the most important episode of the War of 1812 as the movement of the Russian army from the Ryazan to the Kaluga road and to the Tarutino camp - the so-called flank march behind Krasnaya Pakhra. Historians attribute the glory of this ingenious feat to various individuals and argue about who, in fact, it belongs to. Even foreign, even French historians recognize the genius of the Russian commanders when speaking about this flank march. But why military writers, and everyone after them, believe that this flank march is a very thoughtful invention of some one person, which saved Russia and destroyed Napoleon, is very difficult to understand. In the first place, it is difficult to understand wherein lies the profundity and genius of this movement; for in order to guess that the best position of the army (when it is not attacked) is where there is more food, it does not require much mental effort. And everyone, even a stupid thirteen-year-old boy, could easily guess that in 1812 the most advantageous position of the army, after the retreat from Moscow, was on the Kaluga road. So, it is impossible to understand, firstly, by what conclusions historians reach the point of seeing something profound in this maneuver. Secondly, it is even more difficult to understand exactly what historians see as the salvation of this maneuver for the Russians and its detrimental nature for the French; for this flank march, under other preceding, accompanying and subsequent circumstances, could have been disastrous for the Russians and salutary for the French army. If from the time this movement took place, the position of the Russian army began to improve, then it does not follow from this that this movement was the reason for this.

Meeting Irina

In 2006, freedom again, but not for long, only for 2 years. But it was at this time that he met his future wife (pictured). A glimpse finally appeared in the biography of Arkady Kobyakov. Irina Tukhbaeva, like a ray of light and warmth, entered Arkady’s life and, as much as she could, warmed his soul.

They met at a party where Arkady performed his songs. It seems that love broke out between them at first sight. Irina was not embarrassed by her lover’s criminal past. The courtship did not last long. His proposal to marry him was met with her “yes.” There was no delay in having children, and their first-born Arseny was born in 2008.

There is no doubt that Arkady was a good father or husband. He tried to devote more time to his family without infringing on their attention. After the concerts he had a lot to hurry about. According to his friends, he adored his wife and son.

However, someone who is accustomed to committing crimes cannot be restrained from breaking the law by his wife and children. There is another black streak in the biography of Arkady Kobyakov - at the end of 2008 he was convicted of fraud. The punishment was a five-year sentence in a camp - from 2008 to 2013. Only when he finds himself behind bars does he begin to realize that he has lost the opportunity to be close to his growing son. In his diary, he admits that separation from his wife and child is the greatest punishment of all camp deprivations.

Personal life of Arkady

Arkady found his love after 30 years. Until this moment, he tried and did not look for a soul mate and did not think about a serious relationship. And he had spent most of his life up to that point in prison.

When he was invited to various events, he met Irina Tukhbaeva. As they say, it was love at first sight.

After a short period of time, they officially entered into their relationship.

Little is known about Irina herself; one can judge from the photo that they look happy together. She constantly goes on tour with him and takes photographs. Always supportive in difficult times. It is known that they met in 2006.

Very quickly they thought about children. And already in 2008 she gave birth to his child, he was named Arseny. At this time, Arkady showed his good side and spent a lot of time at home.

Also, friends constantly said that they were happy together. Arkady spent a lot of time with the child. But no matter how hard he tried, unfortunately he failed and died too early.

Creativity in the life of Kobyakov

When did Arkady engage in creativity? He had enough time for this. He wrote songs both in prison and in freedom. He wrote in his diary that his only outlet in prison was creativity. He began composing songs while still in a children's colony. And the first listeners were the guards and prisoners like him. It was there that his popular songs were written, and there are more than 80 of them. These include:

“And you are like ice”;
“I’m just a passerby”;
“I will throw the world at your feet”;
"Everything is behind";
“Hello, mom”;
“And it’s night over the camp”;
“I’ll leave at dawn”;
“Oh, if only I knew.”

During his last stay in the Yuzhny camp, Arkady recorded songs he had written and shot several videos. In those two years (2006-2008) before the last trip to prison, a bright streak finally flashed in the biography of Arkady Kobyakov. He has a wife and child, work in restaurants and cafes, where he performs his songs. Kobyakov repeatedly performs at gatherings of crime bosses and even receives an offer from one of them to gain a foothold on the stage with an offer to sponsor his start. But Arkady is not attracted by such a generous offer. He does not want to sell his soulful songs for money and delve into the world of stage intrigue.

During his last imprisonment, Arkady writes songs. In 2011, he, together with the Tyumen chansonnier (Yuri Kost), gives his concert in the zone and is preparing for the release of the official album “Prisoner Soul”. In May 2013, Arkady Kobyakov held a solo concert at the Moscow club Butyrka.

First album

Having been released once again in 2006, the hero of our article began to develop creatively outside the colony. His performances at corporate events and in restaurants were popular, Arkady became a famous chansonnier. They say that his concerts were even ordered by crime bosses after their meetings.

Having ended up in the colony for the fourth time, Kobyakov continued to actively write music and songs. In 2011, he took part in a large-scale concert for prisoners, which he gave together with the popular chansonnier from Tyumen Yuri Kost.

At the same time, the musician’s first album was released. It received the self-explanatory name “Prisoner Soul”. Over time, the artist released several more records. The most famous of them are “Convoy”, “My Soul”, “Favorites”, “Best”.

Long-awaited freedom

Released after imprisonment in 2013, Arkady and his family move to live in Podolsk. He continues to write songs and works part-time at parties and corporate events, where he was constantly invited by chanson lovers.

There are quite a lot of facts about creativity, arrests and fate in the biography of Arkady Kobyakov. Family and family photos are not in the public domain, so there are very few of them on the Internet. And Arkady didn’t really like to conduct photo shoots, he did what he loved. Kobyakov wrote songs, many of which were dedicated to his wife Irina. He loved her until his last breath.

Death of Kobyakov

The morning of September 19, 2020 did not foretell anything bad. But this date became the saddest and last page in the biography of Arkady Kobyakov. The cause of death was determined by doctors after an autopsy - a stomach ulcer with internal bleeding. In principle, this is not surprising. Out of the 39 years he lived, Arkady spent 19 years in camps, and the food there, of course, was not homemade or restaurant. This lifestyle could lead to illness. If the ulcer is not treated, it turns into a perforated one, which is most likely what happened in the case of Arkady.

According to the stories of friends, while still in a correctional colony, Kobyakov ended up in a punishment cell for several months for his insolence towards the guard. The conditions of being there could really seriously undermine the health of a young guy. Then the disease could only progress and lead to its logical conclusion, which is what happened in his life.

Arkady Kobyakov was only 39 years old at the time of his death. They said goodbye to Arkady in Podolsk in the funeral hall, but Irina Tukhbaeva decided to bury her husband in his hometown - Nizhny Novgorod. The singer's grave is located in the city cemetery. The monument depicts a smiling Arkady. Several years have passed since his death, but fans continue to come to him and bring fresh flowers to his grave, still not believing that their idol has passed away.

Personal life

Arkady Kobyakov spent 19 years in prison, so he had little time for long-term and serious relationships, although there were always many beautiful women around him.

A girl named Irina Tukhbaeva appeared in Arkady’s life.

There were rumors that they got married and Irina gave birth to a son.

However, Sergei Lekomtsev rejects these rumors and claims that the young people had only friendly relations.

Irina helped and supported Arkady during difficult periods of his life, and he treated her with warmth and gratitude. It is believed that several of Arkady's songs, filled with love and tenderness, are dedicated to Irina.
