this is a restaurant in beijing, this is christ kelmen, on the far right, his wife, the first and only lyusya, this is me with my friend natasha waltz, who was later the wife of alexey chlenov, who was the fiancé of alla golubkina, who later became the wife of alexey romanov, the leader of the band voskresenie, and then the wife of another rock veteran, and almost became the wife of alexander borisovich gradsky, well, the song is not about them at all. this picture was taken by a very famous producer, he later, or rather became a producer, at that time, that's how he started, well, already then, at the very beginning of the formation of our rock scene, when very modest money was earned, already then around.

on this music there was a person who loved and appreciated music, but he loved money more, and understood, i am, by the way, without any condemnation, i say this, i loved this person very much and was very worried when he left, we are talking about yuri azenshpits, yuri shmelich, here we are with him at the so-called port zone, there was such a fashionable, musical project, this, by the way, is elena denidova, this is ...

just like about the producer of the sokol group, and how it turned out, helped him a lot, i don't know him, first of all, personally, and i don't know that i helped him, we met in person, it was at some concert right after he was released for the second time, in 1987, in 1987 he was released after spending a total of 17 years in prison, that is, a significant part of his life, i was there with... with my friend and yura azenshpits came up, who looked, well, very creepy, in fact, he had metal teeth, he was wearing a boiled denim jacket, which had already been released by that time out of fashion, this whole boiled shirt, so he came up, introduced himself, said that thanks to my publication , the attitude of the camp administration towards him had changed, when he was sitting, they realized that he was a man there, i compared him, it turns out, with brian stein

, the producer of betlov, that's what i didn't remember, that's what i helped him a lot, and he just said that he had just been released, as he said, he was thinking about getting into producing, he just named a few groups there that he really should get into, and talked him out of the idea of ​​murmov, and by the way, yuri shmilevich took advantage of the advice, yura is a person, in this regard, when we talk about bandits, show business, it is legendary, i would read many times that he was the most authoritative there, the most, the most bandit bandit, but this is not true, because yura to a certain extent was a person who loved to show off, loved, so to speak, this external side, that is, he was not such a karabas-barabas, a shadowy one, who was puppeteering him, he liked it was precisely this entourage, no, he... knew how

to make money and understood how to make money on it, he had an excellent intuition and yes , he attracted real, well, authoritative people. i remember that if anyone now remembers vlad stashevsky, then i, in turn, remember how he attracted to the financing of this project, such a sasha gypsy, he was, i think, alexander makushenko. yuri knew how to convince these people that this was a profitable investment of money, in my opinion, in the case of stashevsky, by the way, this was the case, it worked, but since yuri was in the public eye. and he liked to be in the public eye, and he - so to speak, strove for this, and there the same vladimir matetsky admired the quantity and quality of his jackets, then , in fact, since he was in the focus not so much publicly, but in the media attention, well...
