In February 2008 in Omsk died suddenly aged 43, leader of the cult punk band "Civil Defense" Yegor Letov. Since then, two years have passed, but the exact cause of the premature death of the legendary musician has yet to be announced. There are only rumors that Yegor dream choking vomit, allegedly because he had stopped alcohol poisoning heart ... Particularly interesting is that the truth is not (or carefully hidden?) Even relatives of the deceased. At least, the older brother Yegor - "widely known in narrow circles as" Moscow jazz Sergey Letov - still do not understand what happened to his brother. - The last four years we have not communicate to Igor (real name Frank) - says "EH" Sergey. - Argued once again. We have passed before a fight, after which we do not talk about not for two or three years. - And the last time that did not share? - The conflict ended in absentia. We both agreed that I would come to. On a new album by Igor Omsk I had just bought him a professional digital recorder as his brother by the time this technology has decreased. Studio "Coffin records" can only be called by the club, in fact, it was my father's room in the three-Khrushchev, our former child ... Just before the trip, I had financial difficulties. So I wrote an email to Igor, I am come to Omsk, where he pays me a ticket in at least one direction. He insulted obviously terrible and not to answer. Since my brother and I almost did not communicate. Sergey and Yegor Letov - But you, like a brother, that's for sure, the circumstances under which he died Egor? - For me it is a mystery to himself. I suspect, even more than the published version. I spoke with the band director Sergei Popkov, reliable person is surrounded by his brother. Sergei said that according to the testimony of the paramedic who died at noon (found similar that Yegor dead, five clock in the evening.) Occurred - Some people think it strange at that Yegor had died in the new home of the not she lived, and three months ... - In fact, in December 2007, he and his wife Natalia Chumakov, guitarist "Civil Defense", in a new two-bedroom apartment in the exclusive area of Omsk. A 82-year-old father is not accepted. Maybe played a fateful role. After all, Dad always watched Igor and, if anything, caused a "fast". - And have often call? Yegor had serious health problems? - My father told me, that was six months before the death of Igor stopped breathing. Dad immediately called the "fast" and doctors revived brother breath "mouth to mouth" and the stimulation of the heart. But in general, for their lives Igor survived clinical death 14-15. My father and I are not on the leaves once carried him to the "fast" ... The fact that our mother is from Semipalatinsk. She has a decent dose of radiation. And as a result, my brother and my childhood was not out of the hospital. Igor was very ill - he had a congenital pancreatic insufficiency. - It is true that Yegor father like cat and dog live? Say, could your brother and pass it? - I do not want to talk about it ... But I think I may well have. Strange, because his parents loved and can do anything. Assuming that Igor is not long for this world, so it is desirable to be satisfied immediately. A brother looked in a window, a pot of cactus and said he wanted the same thing. So my father went to the apartment and asked to plant "baby!" At the same time his father Igor life was very complicated relationship. But with his mother, on the contrary, was very close contact. She died at 53 of cancer, like her mother, my grandmother. Said Igor, and then every year on 31 December alone went to my mother's grave and we dressed up for their Christmas tree! - Sergei, is discussed and a version of the drug death as a drug overdose. Could it be? Egor has repeatedly said in interviews that used LSD ... - I never saw him take drugs. He does not even smoke! However, if I had a problem with the girl, he told me to take LSD. But he tried drugs once or twice. The problem that he was in another ... - Alcohol? - Unfortunately, yes. I suspect that he began to drink alcohol in order to withstand the two-hour concert. "Doping", he needed to go to, for the inspiration. By the way, I've been drinking alcohol before the show a few times - and only when the game with "civil defense". During the concert and during the intermission all drank. Not poison, no. The strength to have to bring the end of the concert. The fact that heard his brother's drinking problem, I first sin in 1996 by the administrator Eugene. Then a couple of years for me with the same request to the publisher Evgeny Kolesov, "You hear the only Igor are." And I struggled. Forcibly fed him pills. - Make a difference? - Sometimes. I analyzed why it is happening. And he remembered that he was one of our ancestors alcoholics. Our mother's father - a Cossack Martem'yanov, suppressed in 1937 - wrote to my grandmother: "We are the parents had five." But lists only four. I always found it strange. And explain all this: was the grandfather's brother Wladimir, an alcoholic, and his grandfather, shy, bought him clothes, gave money, as long as it does not only show up in his eyes. - You have not tried to convince encoded Yegor? - Psychiatrist told me not to encode it. For he is a very strong-willed, not afraid of anything. And the fear of death will not stop him. - Sergei, I realized differentiate your relationship with Yegor did not want to heat. Not to speak for four years - it's hard ... - This is a wrong conclusion. Yes, we regularly have occurred long dispute. And it happened that I every week from him! The letter from Omsk to 5-6 pages But then the correspondence is lost - Igor fought the KGB, his imprisoned for involuntary psychiatric treatment. We've even talked on the phone dry - is taken in the late 80-line. But strained our relationship will not be named. Perhaps, then, was Igor's plate that I was eight years old-making began, he decided to become a musician. I, as a parent of a child have identified a music school, but I quickly tired of cramming, and I went to a mother with her father in Novosibirsk physical-mathematical boarding school. And there .. longed for music. A few years later bought a saxophone and moved to Moscow. And after a while I got on the 16-year-old Igor and announced that he will learn, wanted to play the bass guitar. And this guitar, we found it - with the famous St. Petersburg Andrei Tropillo engineer who recorded the "Aquarium" and "Cinema". By the way, my brother and lived life musically uneducated, never studied ... - I do not understand how the parents of a teenage son, was published in Moscow ... - Igor was quite difficult in the home people. And then there is the awkward age ... Parents of him and cried and wrote me a letter: He lost his temper easily "Sergey, you take it to her.". It could bring a white heat of a working day TV. Soviet propaganda he saw as the enemy. And our father was an army of political workers, they are life-long dispute. - I've always wondered where this was Yegor opposition? - His whole life was such a position: "I am against it!". Been in my 80 years patriotic convictions, which is why it is often called me a fascist, nationalist, that we quarreled, not to speak for a long time ... While Igor is very easy to influence. Someone has something to say to him brightly - and my brother starts with fervor to a new view to defend. You see, at the end of his life, he changed the name of all their albums. Was "Solstice" - "Lunar revolution." Was Abdicated by much. In the early 90's trying to take advantage of our popular opposition. Brother first influence succumbed, and then said to me: "I realized that the opposition - it is the same performance as the official. Just a game red clown, and others - white. Good cop and bad. "In short, he came to think that the opposition is no less than the power that is responsible for what happens in the country -. Yegor dreamed of fame - he was always interested in the recognition of the masses and thereby. that we play very divergent For me it is better for 15-20 people, but for those who are self-respect and Igor sentenced me elitism he said... "I play in the stadiums. Good music to please everyone. "I immediately replied:" It is apparent that the best musician - is Kirkorov "But at the same time striving for popularity he ever dreamed of wealth money he needed to be creative in order. To purchase books and records, leaving behind a huge library and a music library Generally, he was much more advanced than most rockers and even more -....? the punk musician lifestyle he was not rocker after rocker he lives Drunk met a girl, and better -. caught two on stage courage, broken tool ... And Igor in Moscow was the first step into a bookstore and are taken to 20-30 pounds sterling Omsk and then sit for a month in his apartment in Khrushchev in Chkalovsky village, nobody talked, read books and composed new music -. Sergei, a few words about the women in his life Egor Some blame him that he committed suicide first law wife, singer Yanka ... Diaghilev. ! - What the hell Igor they treated very well this at first I did not take Remember, they both came to me in Moscow, and I was struck by the absence of his brother Taste: Janka was ugly, completely, totally.. feminine singular. I even remember anything about him. The fact that she wrote songs and poems, I found out only after her death. Brother is so concerned that the self-inflicted knife to cross two deep cuts on his hand. Physical pain to dull the pain of the soul. Incidentally, in the death of the Yankees too much uncertainty. It is believed that suicide, she was drowned in the river Ina, but they say that when her body was pulled from the water, it was clear that a fractured skull ... - In general, Igor was a lover of women? - Absolutely not. We can say, in my life, he had stable relationships with three women: Yanka, Anna Volkova and last Chumakova wife Natalia, daughter of a professor of Novosibirsk. It is the only Igor marriage was officially registered. - They are the wives of the brothers are like the best? - To be honest, Anna Volkova. Tall, beautiful, mistress of all trades ... I think that if they do not break with his brother, he would be alive now are. "Build" Payala wire, all wore the guitar in the band was not "the state". A slap in the face and could smack, "relax" to that to life! - Why Anna and Yegor part? - Because my brother at the beginning of 1998, fell in love some 19-year-old married woman living in Moscow. I do not know who she was. But I know that is what led to a quarrel and break with Anya.
