Childhood and youth
Oleg Vereshchagin was born on October 16, 1982 in the small town of Chusovoy, Perm Region. Here Oleg received his school education and studied at the Perm School of Economics.
Oleg Vereshchagin in childhood and now
The boy's father worked at the city-forming enterprise - a metallurgical plant - so as a child Oleg spent a lot of time in the workshop and even cast his own chain and cross. Among his youthful hobbies was karate (he “grew up” to a green belt), as well as KVN, which he began to practice in high school: Oleg played for the “Devils” team.

And although the guy’s first appearance on stage almost ended in failure (he parodied a popular singer and fell, getting tangled in a long skirt), he managed to successfully beat the fall, avoid embarrassment and receive a storm of applause.

Oleg Vereshchagin was born in a small town, grew up as a completely simple guy, did not stand out with any special talents, and sometimes became a hooligan.
But there was still one feature in him that set him apart from the rest - he always skillfully joked and played, and so unexpectedly and masterfully that many were even afraid of him.
While studying at school, in high school, Oleg performed in his first KVN team. Its name was very specific, “The Little Devils,” and Vereshchagin played in a skit where he had to parody one well-known performer at that time.
Only during the performance did Oleg fall - it seemed that his career as a comedian was over forever. However, he quickly realized that such a mistake could be turned into a joke, as a result the hall simply shook with laughter.
After school, Vereshchagin entered the Perm School of Economics , completed his studies, received a certificate and realized that science and the profession of an economist did not interest him at all. The comedian's career, which began at school, continued at the university.
At first, Oleg played for the assembly of the educational institution, and then was invited to join Parma. There, the comedian received the nickname “Beaver” and found his main partner in sketches - Gavriil Gordeev, better known as Le Havre.
Having successfully shown himself in the KVN team, Oleg quickly “escaped” from it along with his partner. The reason for this was the success in the Comedy Club project - Bober and Le Havre made the audience explode with laughter.
He starred in the TV series “Real Boys”.
Frequent performances were followed by invitations to all sorts of events and corporate parties , and Vereshchagin realized that KVN, although a good thing, was practically free. You won’t earn a lot of money, unlike corporate events and the Comedy Club.
Having become a full-fledged participant in the popular project, Oleg soon began performing in duets with Alexander Revva, Pavel Volya and others. Acquaintances with media persons, with whom a simple Perm guy now communicated on equal terms, led him to the film industry.
Oleg decided to try himself as a screenwriter - this is how the script for the film “The Mystery of the Old Cemetery” was born. This was followed by work in the film “The Best Film - 2”, where Vereshchagin got the image of a major. The film roles did not end there; today the artist’s filmography includes seven works .
In Oleg’s personal life, everything turned out well, although he calls himself a complex person. By nature, he is too hot-tempered, emotions often take over, and in anger he can offend and say unnecessary things.
However, there was a woman who was able to withstand all this - Oleg has been married to his wife Alexandra Vereshchagina for 10 years, they have two daughters, Polina and Arina.
Sasha is also a creative person - she is a photographer and dancer, so the Vereshchagin tandem turned out to be amazing and talented.
Humor and television
Having moved to Perm and entered the local branch of the Higher School of Economics, Vereshchagin began playing for the city KVN team.
He soon found himself in the Parma team, which achieved considerable success, although it never became the club champion. It was here that Vereshchagin received the creative pseudonym “Beaver,” which he also used in other television projects. The last time Parma performed at the festival in Jurmala was in 2005, after which the team broke up. However, many team members found themselves in other projects. Thus, Nikolai Naumov became the star of the series “Real Boys”, Zhanna “Zhanka” Kadnikova became the director and screenwriter of “Univer”, Svetlana “Svetka” Permyakova became famous after the release of the series “Interns”. Vereshchagin worked in his specialty for about a year at a Perm brewing company. Making his office colleagues laugh to the point of hysteria, he became convinced that humor was his calling.

In 2007, he and Gavriil “Gavr” Gordeev appeared at the “Laughter Without Rules” competition, and then made their debut as a duet at the “Comedy Club”. Successful performances subsequently allowed friends to open a branch of the show in Perm. Oleg worked at the Comedy Club on a permanent basis until 2012 - in recent years without Le Havre, who left the stage by 2011, switching to producing and advertising activities.

In 2014, Vereshchagin became one of the few male participants in the 4th season of the Comedy Woman show. It is noteworthy that Vereshchagin knew many of the participants in the program even before starting work, from the days of KVN: among them were Natalya Andreevna, Ekaterina Varnava, Maria Kravchenko, Ekaterina Skulkina, Marina Fedunkiv.

Biography
One of the brightest participants in the Comedy Woman show, Oleg Vereshchagin, organically “joined” the wonderful women’s team and brought a masculine sparkle into the ladies’ society.
Oleg Vereshchagin was born in October 1982 in the town of Chusovoy, comfortably located in the east of the Perm region. He grew up as an ordinary guy, not particularly standing out among his peers. Except that Oleg had a sense of humor and the ability to successfully joke about himself and his friends from an early age.
Actor Oleg Vereshchagin
In high school, the desire to make the audience laugh almost turned into self-harm, but Vereshchagin managed to masterfully turn a “minus” into a definite “plus.” Together with the KVN team, appropriately named “The Little Devils,” Oleg performed on the school stage. Vereshchagin portrayed the lead singer of the group “Masha and the Bears” with her head shaved. But he got tangled either in the wires or in the long hem of the dress and collapsed right on the stage. In the first seconds, the artist decided that this was the end of his career, but when he heard laughter, he realized that this was just the beginning.
In addition to humor, Oleg was fond of karate in his youth and even became the owner of a “green belt”. As a teenager, Vereshchagin visited the workshop of the metallurgical plant where his father worked. Under the guidance of his elders, the boy learned to handle hot metal and even cast his own chain and cross.
