Во всей необъятной России, да и в ближнем и far abroad, it is not possible to find a person who would not know who Ilya Oleinikov is. The biography of any public person is always of great interest to the average person, and even an artist, and even such a famous one, especially. After all, we all know well that there is no such role that the actor Ilya Oleinikov could not play. Male or female, comic or tragic - it does not matter. Talent he does not hold. However, the path to universal recognition for Ilya Lvovich was not at all covered with roses. And the life of this wonderful man has never been easy. By the admission of the actor himself, she was like a song - a “life of the song”.
How it all began
Ilya Oleynikov was born in the city of Chisinau, in 1947year, the tenth of July. Nothing remarkable happened to him in childhood, and even then it was a difficult, post-war time. Therefore, the children's biography of Ilya Oleinikov contains only two noteworthy facts. First, then his name was Klaver. And secondly, it was just then that he realized that clowning, humor, satire - this is probably the only thing that can arouse interest in him. For this reason, after graduating from school, in 1965, Ilya did not face the problem of choosing the cause of life. He did not hesitate left Chisinau for the capital. Where he successfully entered the Moscow State School of Circus and Variety Art at the clownery department, and received a diploma four years later.
Oh, how I want to break in ...
And who knows what the future life would be likeIlya Lvovich, if not for one circumstance. His teacher was still young then Alexander Shirvindt, who invited Oleinikov to take part in his new program called “Teleinterview”. The show was attended by many actors of the then very popular Satire Theater - Tatiana Peltzer, Andrei Mironov and other famous artists. And although the program itself turned out, frankly, so-so, it was thanks to her that the artist Ilya Oleinikov was born. The biography of him as an actor, however, could be somewhat different if it were not at this time that he received a subpoena for the army. In those days, there were only a few channels on television. Each new program aroused genuine interest among TV viewers, literally the whole country “stuck” to the screens. Therefore, immediately after the release of the program, the young actor literally became recognizable. But in two years of military service, the spectator of Oleinikov had forgotten a lot, he had to start a long way to fame.
"Town"
I had to work hard.From 1970 to 1974, Ilya Klyaver worked in the orchestra of Yuri Saulsky, who was called “VIA-66”, and then moved to Lenconcert, on the stage of which he performed as an artist of conversational genre. But thoughts of that fleeting success on television did not for a minute leave him. And in the mid-eighties, the actor takes the pseudonym Oleinikov and begins performing in a duet with Roman Kazakov.
Who knows, perhaps fame would have found Ilya Lvovichmuch earlier, if not for the tragic death of a partner. Oleinikov had to search for a companion for a long time for him to try and error, until finally, in 1991, what happened happened. The actor met Yury Stoyanov, and two years later the first release of the Gorodok program appeared on the country's screens. Original scenes, sparkling humor, funny dialogues - the viewer instantly appreciated the talent of the “inhabitants” of the town. And three years later, in 1996, the program received the award "Teffi". Surprisingly, from year to year the popularity of the "Town" only grew. Not only Russian viewers, but also lovers of good humor of the entire post-Soviet space, enjoy watching it today.
Shooting at the cinema
Ilya Lvovich's talent is many-sided.He is not only a great humorist, but also a terrific actor, who has quite a lot and successfully filmed a movie. True, Ilya Oleynikov does not consider his films as a special achievement. Nevertheless, some of them really deserve attention. So, he played a very memorable role in the film adaptation of Bulgakov's cult novel Master and Margarita (find director of the variety Rome), and also starred in two very good, worthy of all sorts of praises and really funny comedies - Alchemists and Thin Thing. This is the best of his work, and in general, in twenty-five films in the credits is the name of Ilya Oleynikov.
The biography of this subtle, intelligent, andversatile person reveals to us another side of his talent. Most often, the name of Ilya Lvovich is associated with variety art, humor. And somehow it is very rare to remember that he himself wrote and staged a very good musical “The Prophet”. True, due to objective circumstances, the performance could not “survive”. And who knows, if everything went differently, maybe Ilya Oleinikov would be known to the audience today not only as the creator of Gorodok, but also as a producer of great musical shows. By the way, in 2001, the actor received the title of People's Artist of Russia.
Family and personal life
Oleynikov never suffered from stellar disease anddid not consider himself a public person. His family life is the same as that of most ordinary people. The only thing to say is that the actor was married three times. True, according to the very same Ilya Lvovich, the first two marriages were registered in his youth, and even for the sole purpose - to obtain a Moscow residence permit. In essence, both were considered fictitious.
With the third wife - Irina Klyaver (Oleinikova)- the actor has lived happily for almost 40 years. They met at one of the speeches of Oleinikov in the district town of Donetsk region. Irina Viktorovna - a singer in the past. By the way, she and her husband took part in the release of the album Chanson for Two, which was released in 2010. The son of Ilya Oleynikov, Denis Klyaver, from 1994 to 2012 was the lead singer of the group “Tea for two”, which today, unfortunately, has broken up. The couple Oleynikov two grandchildren - Timothy and Daniel, and granddaughter Evelyn.
And forever escorted to the whole yard ...
Unfortunately, the third grandson - Daniel - an actor soand did not see. November 11, 2012, residents and fans of the “Town” suffered a great grief - in the sixty-sixth year of life, its creator and inhabitant, Ilya L. Oleinikov, died. He died from cancer, which was diagnosed in the actor a year earlier. So a talented actor and a very good man Ilya Oleinikov passed away, whose biography is similar to a song ...
