Vyacheslav Malezhik: health status for today 2020, latest news

Parents

Vyacheslav was born in Moscow on February 17, 1947.

His father, Malezhik Efim Ivanovich, came from a peasant family who lived in the village of Belousovka in the Poltava region. During the period of collectivization, he fled to Moscow, where he began working as a driver. His real name was Milezhik, but the passport officer made a mistake in one letter, and it turned out to be Malezhik.

Vyacheslav’s mother, Nina Ivanovna, was born and raised in a village near Tula. She ended up in Moscow because she was fleeing the terrible famine that reigned in the villages. In the capital she studied and worked as a mathematics teacher.

Nina Ivanovna was married for the first time to an engineer at an aviation company, Dmitry Vasilyevich. During an accident at the factory, the man was seriously injured, and his wife devotedly looked after him for two years. However, it was not possible to get her husband back on his feet, and Nina Ivanovna was left alone in her arms with her daughter. Efim Ivanovich Malezhik used to work as a driver for her husband and one day came to visit the family of his former boss. Gradually, feelings developed between them, and over time he moved to Nina Ivanovna’s six-meter room in an old two-story barracks-type house near the Belorussky railway station.

Childhood

Malezhik’s childhood years cannot be called carefree; the family lived poorly. They helped out with products that the paternal grandmother sometimes sent by parcel from the village: apples, honey, potatoes, and less often meat (when they stabbed a pig or lamb). She remained to live in the Poltava region. And my grandfather, who was a first-class tailor, was slandered and repressed.

At school, Vyacheslav was a diligent student; his diary almost always showed that he was best in the exact sciences (physics, mathematics). In elementary school, he began to show interest in music. The parents decided that if the boy mastered playing the button accordion, he would always have the opportunity to earn additional income. Slavik was enrolled in a music school located next to Butyrskaya prison. Malezhik’s first teacher, Ivan Dmitrievich Chukhlantsev, taught the child not only classics, but also popular music.

Vyacheslav mastered playing the button accordion quickly. He demonstrated his abilities by performing at school concerts, in front of neighbors and relatives, and sometimes acquaintances invited him to play at weddings. Nevertheless, he perceived music as a hobby, and had no intention of connecting his future profession with it.

In the early 1960s, active housing construction was carried out in the capital. People went to great lengths to get new apartments and move out of barracks. Vyacheslav, his parents and neighbors dug into the foundation at night and poured water into it. At sub-zero temperatures it froze and tore the brickwork. As a result, their house was declared unsafe, and the Malezhik family received a new three-room apartment in a five-story building in the southwest of Moscow. It was paradise for them then.

Youth

In 1965, Vyacheslav entered MIIT (Moscow Engineering Institute of Transport) and decided to study as a railway technologist. Playing the button accordion has no longer become fashionable. This time was the heyday of bard creativity; everyone heard the songs of Okudzhava, Vysotsky, and Klyachkin. Malezhik also became interested in playing the guitar; at first he was taught by his brother-in-law (his older sister’s first husband), but then he figured it out on his own.

Because of Vyacheslav’s passion for the guitar, his father was very angry. Every session he threatened to smash the instrument against the wall, believing that his son was not studying science, but strumming the strings all day long. But Malezhik’s father’s threats did not frighten him very much; along with his studies, he became a guitarist in the institute’s musical group. In the summer, the group went to play for young people at the Burevestnik student camp.

Ivan Malezhik

Ivan Malezhik was born in 1990. He is studying at the Faculty of Producing and Economics at the Department of Producing Skills at VGIK. He also became a musician.

Ivan Malezhik played in the band Light and Day, and after leaving it, he used the pseudonym Holden Coldfield for some time, as he was constantly accused of using the name of his famous father to promote his career.

In May 2010, the Weloveyouwinona group was formed, where Ivan Malezhik became the author of lyrics and music. Vyacheslav Malezhik supports his son’s creativity and is proud that he followed in his footsteps.

At the same time, Vyacheslav Malezhik sought to realize himself as a solo performer. Thus, the talented artist’s first fame came in 1982 with the composition “Two Hundred Years” (recorded together with the ensemble “Flame”). The singer did not stand aside during the military operations in Afghanistan. He was not afraid to come in 1986 near Jalalabad and give several concerts for Soviet soldiers.

Vyacheslav Malezhik's first solo album appeared in 1984. Two years later, he gave his team the name “Sacvoyage” and in 1987 their first disc appeared under the spectacular name “Cafe “Sacvoyage”. The guys basked in the rays of fame, as evidenced by the number of copies of the disc sold - about 2 million. The musician’s videos were popular and were often broadcast on the Morning Mail program.

The peak of the band's fame came in 1988 and 1989. At this time, Malezhik actively collaborated with the Record studio, twice became a finalist in the popular Song of the Year festival and often toured with concerts.

In 2000, Malezhik performed at the “Song of the Year”, where he performed the composition “Two Hundred Years” (nomination “Song of the Century”). In addition, the musician periodically gave anniversary concerts.

So, in 2002, the singer’s fans enjoyed his performance at the Rossiya State Concert Hall, and in 2007, the star performer gave a concert at the Kremlin Palace. Famous friends, Alexander Gradsky, Yuri Antonov and others, supported the artist with their participation.

The singer did not lose his former glory, and his work continued to delight many admirers. In 2007, Malezhik again participated in the “Song of the Year”, where he performed the composition “Provincial”. A little earlier, the artist performed a duet with Dmitry Gordon, performing the hit “Someone else’s Wife.”

Vyacheslav's songs are performed with pleasure by other artists. Famous fans of Malezhik include Valery Leontyev, Vadim Kazachenko, Irina Ponarovskaya, Katya Semyonova and others.

Although the singer had reached a respectable age at that time, he had not lost his sense of humor and passion. So, in 2008, 18-year-old Yuri Kaplan, taking the pseudonym Valentin Strykalo, published an appeal to Vyacheslav Malezhik on YouTube. He asked the famous musician to act as his producer and provide support. A flamboyant aspiring artist with a fictitious biography and provocative songs clearly did not expect that the rocker would notice him and even pay attention to him.

Later, the TNT channel decided to make a film about the young performer and organized a meeting for him with the star. Malezhik not only talked to Kaplan, but also managed to “encourage” him well.

Yuri recalled that he never expected such humor and witty words from the famous artist and was forced to admit the “coolness” of Vyacheslav Efimovich. At the same time, Internet users compared photos of Valentin Strykalo and Vyacheslav Malezhik in their youth and discovered an amazing similarity.

Years of hard work and extensive life experience allowed Malezhik to take up writing. In 2012, he presented his first book entitled “Understand. Forgive. Accept". It presented some of the artistic works of the talented musician and his youthful memories.

A year later, two more books by Vyacheslav Efimovich appeared, which included poems by the star and stories about the life of young people in the USSR.

• "Hero of that time";
• “About the country of Wonderland and its inhabitants” (for children).

According to the author, after reading his books, many remember the happy past Soviet years, and even recognize themselves in some of the characters.

Love Princess of Cambodia

As a student, the princess of Cambodia fell in love with Malezhik. When he played with the institute VIA in the student camp “Burevestnik”, two girls from the choreographic school always came to the dances. They were originally from Cambodia. One of them, named Tana, immediately drew attention to the charming, handsome and young guitarist. Her uncle Norodom Sihanouk was the Cambodian king.

When they returned to Moscow, Tana called Vyacheslav. The girl spoke with a monstrous accent and understood Russian poorly, nevertheless she really wanted to continue communicating with the young man she liked. They dated for some time, but Tana's relatives were categorically against this choice. They told the girl that no man could be more valuable than his homeland.

Tana was waiting for Vyacheslav to propose to her, and she would have every reason to stay with him in the Soviet Union. But Malezhik himself did not have strong enough feelings for the Cambodian woman to get married. Tana went to her home, wrote one letter, after which the connection was broken.

Many years later, she came to Russia and found her favorite guitarist through the newspaper, but by that time Vyacheslav was already happily married and raising his eldest son.
