Group "Lesopoval". Tanich and Korzhukov

The group "Lesopoval" is familiar to many people. The theme of her work was determined by the creator - Mikhail Tanic, who after himself experienced the rigidity of the penitentiary system of the Soviet Union after the end of the Great Patriotic War.

Tanich. The Birth of Lesopoval

The foundation of the group occurred in 1992. For more than six years, M. Tanich has held various camps, links, worked on timber fellowship. It was these factors that influenced the name of the musical collective. Tanich was released only after Stalin died.

The birth of this musical collective occurred at the dacha of the poet, which was located in Asari. This event happened absolutely spontaneously, Mikhail himself did not even plan to create a group. However, all those experiences that he made during the war and after it in the camps, he wanted someone to say. Therefore, the author also composed poems, placing in them a part of the biography. Once he gave two poems to Sergei Korzhukov. A couple of days later, Sergei suddenly wrote music on them.

Theme of songs

It should be noted that, in spite of the theme of the group, except Mikhail, none of the other members of this collective in places of deprivation of liberty was.

All the songs included in each album of the group "Lesopoval" were written by Tanich himself. On the questions of journalists about the subject of his works, he responds that his work does not belong to the "blatant", on the contrary, the author tries to show the completely opposite side of the coin. The purpose of his texts is to tell about a difficult life in the camp. Most truly, according to Mikhail, it would be to refer his songs to "anti-blitz". The fundamental thought that Tanich is trying to convey to his listeners is that you can always be behind bars, you can steal badly. The Lesopoval group sings not about how beautiful thieves are, but about how difficult it is, how bad it is to be among the people from the underworld.

Sergey Korzhukov

Korzhukov, born in 1958, was the first vocalist of Lesopoval. He was also a composer. In total during his work this talented person wrote musical accompaniment to more than 60 Tanich texts. Fans of the musical team did not even suspect that Sergei had never been in prison. Moreover, they were sure of the opposite, so Sergei got used to his stage image. The fear of a soloist and composer contributed to this, that fans can accuse him of insincerity. This fact made Korzhukov make the song image part of himself.

In 1994 S. Korzhukov died, having fallen out of the window of his mother's apartment, which is located on the 15th floor. Investigative authorities put forward a version that the fall was the result of an accident. And indeed, there were no reasons for Korzhuk's suicide, everything went well for him at that time.

Revival

After the death of Sergei, the musical group as such ceased to exist. However, fans literally overwhelmed Mikhail Tanich with letters and telegrams with a request to revive the team. The group Lesopoval once again entered the scene in 1995. The new soloist of the collective was Sergey Kuprik. The group "Lesopoval" also included other young musicians.

Critics characterize the group as professional. Live performances, always full of halls, excellent arrangements and dances - this is not all the positive characteristics of the band. Musicians know the measure in everything, that's why their songs are constantly diluted with some lyrical digressions to give the audience a little rest.

A distinctive feature of the "Lesopoval" group is the admirers of law enforcement bodies, they are present at many concerts in considerable numbers.
