In the 70-90s of the 20th century, the famous composer and singer Evgeniy Martynov lived and worked, whose biography is connected with music and creativity. His life was full of sounds, bright songs and emotions.
Early years
Singer Evgeny Martynov, whose biography is presented here, was born in the USSR, in the Volgograd (Stalingrad) region, the town of Kamyshin on May 22, 1948. Martynov, a war invalid, worked as a singing teacher at school, was the leader. Mother, Nina Trofimovna, worked as a nurse. When the boy was 5 years old, the family moved to the city of Artemovsk (Donbass).
The role of parents in the development of a singer
Zhenya showed his talent as a child. When Martynov Sr. started Russian and Ukrainian songs and picked up a button accordion, his son quickly memorized the words and beat out the rhythm to the octave, repeating after his father. He was his first teacher, taught him all the intricacies of playing the button accordion and accordion. At the age of 11, Evgeniy began playing music in front of his classmates on his own professional instrument. The parents presented such a gift in the hope that their son would continue to develop in a musical direction.
Regular classes with his father helped improve his professional skills: Evgeniy knew the technique of accompaniment, could adapt to any key and play along with the singer, even without knowing the words of the song. All this allowed Evgeniy to enter the Artemovsk Music School and graduate from the conducting and wind department, where he showed another talent - composing music. Evgeniy wrote a romance, a prelude, a scherzo - all for different musical instruments.
Evgenia’s mother Nina Trofimovna and father Grigory Martynov received postcards, telegrams and letters from their grateful son until the end of their lives. From every city he visited, a telegram arrived with a return address.
Studying at the conservatory
The Kiev Tchaikovsky Conservatory, where Martynov became a student in 1967, perfected the young man’s talent. After a while, he transferred to the Donetsk Musical Pedagogical Institute, from which he graduated as an external student in 1971. For a year he led the orchestra of the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Explosive Equipment, and in 1972 he went to Moscow with a famous and authoritative singer
Thanks to Maya’s petition, the aspiring musician was sent to audition for Rosconcert. The jury liked Evgeniy's vocal abilities, and for several months he performed a solo program for free, then his activities were paid for.
Achievements and merits
Evgeniy Vladimirovich Martynov, whose biography is of interest to many music fans, has earned the love and recognition of listeners not only for his perseverance, but also, above all, for his excellent abilities. Even at the conservatory he was nicknamed “a gift of fate.” He was cheerful and cheerful, an optimist and the life of the party.
He began his career at Rosconcert, under the leadership of Pavel Leonidov and David Usmanov, he began to write his first songs.
Having taken part in the All-Union Competition of Soviet Song Performers in Minsk, Evgeniy earns the Audience Award for performing his own song “The Ballad of a Mother,” and also becomes a laureate of the competition.
The biography of Evgeny Martynov is very rich and fruitful. When he achieves recognition of his talent, he begins to perform at various television festivals. Thus, the song “Ballad of a Mother” becomes a kind of single in 1974, thanks to which Evgeniy is recognized.
Evgeniy managed to write music for poems that famous masters found it difficult to work with. We learn this from the words of Oleg Ivanov. Shortly before Martynov’s performance, he was given poems by Andrei Dementyev to read, but Oleg found them difficult to select music for. Therefore, I was one of the first to be surprised at how well Evgeniy coped with this task. And then, after observing Zhenya’s nature, he realized that such a bright and to a bright person any word is subject to control. He will perform it without forgetting a single emotion, brightly, beautifully, turning it into an unforgettable memory. For him, music was a passion, life itself, so each song came out like a symphony, touching to the depths of the soul.
The biography of Evgeny Martynov preserved the following incident: the composer once heard a piece, then sat down at the piano, turned the clavier over and performed it as accurately and brilliantly as he could. In two years he gained unprecedented popularity among composers, which attracted famous performers who reached out to Evgeniy either to get advice or to put music to poetry.
Thus, the composer and singer Evgeniy Martynov, whose biography is complete bright colors, warmth and smiles from colleagues and spectators, lived happy life worthy of discussion by future generations.
Important dates
Evgeny Martynov won many victories. Biography, full of creativity and music, contains such important dates in his life:
1973 - Martynov laureate of the All-Union Competition of Soviet Song Performers. The competition took place in Minsk.
1973 - The World Festival of Youth and Students was held in Berlin. Martynov became a laureate.
1975 - on international competition pop songs "Bratislava Lyre" won the Grand Prix, which became significant event for the USSR, since in so many years Evgeniy was the first Russian to win.
1976 - in Bulgaria, Evgeniy won a silver medal at the international competition of pop song performers “Golden Orpheus”.
1978 - Evgeniy Martynov, whose biography is of great interest to the public, marries and starts a family with his girlfriend Evelina. The marriage produces a son, Sergei. Sergei received his name in honor of two outstanding people- Rachmaninov and Yesenin. After Eugene's death, the family moves to Spain.
1987 - Evgeniy received the Lenin Komsomol Prize for the aesthetic education of youth and the development of works for children.
Famous songs
The songs of Evgeny Martynov were performed by many singers Soviet stage, for example, Sofia Rotaru, Galina Nenasheva, Lev Leshchenko, Tanya Ostryagina, Joseph Kobzon and many others.
Among the songs, “Birch”, “Ballad of Mother”, “White Lilac”, “Birthday”, “Land of Flowers”, “Lullaby to Ashes”, “On the Swing”, “Bride”, “Sorry”, “Apple Trees” became very famous in bloom", "Troika of Happiness".
Martynov Evgeniy, whose biography is completely permeated with creativity, received recognition abroad. His songs were heard in the USA, Canada, and Europe.
Doctors will confirm that so-called acute heart failure is one of the most common causes of sudden death. It is often caused by previous diseases of the cardiovascular system. However, relatives of Evgeny Martynov assured that he never suffered from them.
In addition, shortly before his death, the singer returned from a tour, the organizers of which never paid him his well-deserved fee. Moreover, at that time the amount was considerable - about 10 thousand rubles. Martynov filed a lawsuit against the negligent businessmen. After the death of the performer, the case was immediately closed.
However, it should be noted that the causes of the notorious heart failure can be not only chronic heart disease, but also emotional overload. Martynov in recent years was in constant stress. The fact is that in 1985, perestroika began in the country. Other songs began to sound from the receivers and tape recorders, and Evgeny Martynov’s favorite “Alyonushki” and “Swans” became of no use to anyone. The singer found himself on the sidelines of the music community, his popularity fell sharply. He deeply experienced the beginnings of future oblivion. Maybe that’s why the heart of 42-year-old Evgeny Martynov gave out.
Composer and performer
Laureate of the Lenin Komsomol Prize (1980)
Ten-time winner of the “Songs of the Year” program
Evgeny Martynov was born on May 22, 1948 in the city of Kamyshin in the Volgograd region.
His mother Nina Trofimovna served in the evacuation hospitals of the 3rd Ukrainian Front from June 1942 to September 1945, and met the wounded soldier Grigory Martynov in the hospital. She married him and married him, after which the newlyweds settled in the city of Kamyshin, where they raised two sons - Evgeniy and Yuri - in love and harmony.
Evgeniy spent his childhood and youth in Donbass. Evgeny’s mother Nina Martynova later said: “We lived then on the Volga, in the city of Kamyshin, and then moved to Artyomovsk. Little Zhenya was very sick, even in kindergarten didn't go. At home we always sang Russian and Ukrainian songs in two voices, my father played the button accordion, and so Zhenya spent all the children’s matinees with him and spent all the holidays. And he loved music so much that we bought him an accordion. In essence, he had no childhood: two schools - no time to eat, no time to go for a walk. I remember teacher Zhenin said: “I would like more such students, and not those who study music under pressure...” And it’s true, I never forced either Zhenya or Yura to study. Then Zhenya entered the Kyiv Conservatory. But my father and I are disabled people of the second group, from the war, and he had to move closer to us.”
Before his injury, Evgeniy’s father Grigory Martynov was the commander of a rifle platoon of the 333rd division, and after arriving in Artemovsk he began working as a singing teacher in the Artemovsk high school and directed amateur performances. He talked about Evgeniy: “He loved our house in Artyomovsk, and it’s beautiful there... He sent us telegrams from every city on tour, always with a return address, he was always afraid for us and his mother... She saved them all : here is Ukraine, and Belarus, and the Urals, and Kamchatka...” But it began music career the future famous composer from his father's accordion, whose sound forced Eugene to stop his games and listen to the music with delight. The boy quickly memorized the melodies he heard, and later he sang and danced, tapping out the rhythms of the remembered songs. He also loved to recite poems and monologues heard in the club, cinema and on the radio. At school, Evgeniy discovered a gift for drawing, then he became interested in magic tricks and willingly showed them at school concerts. Zhenya studied well, without much difficulty, but music gradually replaced other hobbies and passions, including football, which he loved to play since childhood. His father taught Evgeniy to play the button accordion, then the accordion, and when Evgeniy was 11 years old, his parents bought him his own professional accordion, and he enjoyed playing music on it in front of his classmates and neighbors. Thanks to his father and constant studies, Evgeniy received good professional skills in musical improvisation and mastered the basics of accompaniment techniques in different keys, which in the future allowed him to easily adapt to any singing and immediately play along with the singer, even in cases where the material was unknown to him. After eight years of age, Evgeny Martynov entered the Artyomovsk School of Music for the conducting and wind department, where he developed a passion for composing, and he wrote a romance for clarinet and piano, a scherzo for clarinet and piano, and a prelude for piano.
After graduating from college, Evgeniy entered the Kyiv Tchaikovsky Conservatory, and completed his education at the Donetsk Musical Pedagogical Institute. His first two ballad songs were written based on the poems of his fellow students L. Zhidel and T. Kireeva - “The Ballad of the Komsomol Members of Donbass” and “Song of the Motherland.” When Martynov was studying at the conservatory to become a professional clarinetist, someone said about him: “This is a gift of fate.” This is how he received the student nickname “Gift” for his extraordinary abilities.
After completing his studies, Evgeniy directed the pop orchestra of the Donetsk All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Explosive Equipment for a year, and in 1972 he came to Moscow with a letter of recommendation from the Donetsk conductor to the popular pop singer Maya Kristalinskaya, who very warmly greeted the charming young man from Donbass. It was Maya Kristalinskaya, whose pop authority was very high, who sent the “well-singing composer” to Rosconcert, having previously given Martynov the most flattering recommendation. The audition at Rosconcert was successful, and they decided to test Evgenia as a soloist-vocalist in the national team variety program, offering to work for a couple of months for free, which was common for newcomers from the provinces. On his first tour of Siberia and Far East Evgeny Martynov went in June 1972 along with others rising stars Soviet stage: young Lev Leshchenko, Valentina Tolkunova, Svetlana Morgunova, Gennady Khazanov and the newly created Vladimir Chizhik jazz ensemble"Melody".
In 1973, he was enrolled in the staff of Rosconcert, and fate immediately connected Evgeny with the Moscow poets Pavel Leonidov and David Usmanov, with whom he wrote his first songs in Moscow, which were added to the songs composed earlier in Donetsk - “Lullaby to the Ashes” on poems by Martsinkevičius, “The Ballad of a Mother” based on poems by Dementiev, “Birch Tree” based on poems by Yesenin and “The Song Has a Name and Patronymic” based on poems by Lisyansky.
In June 1973, Martynov won the title of laureate of the All-Union Competition of Soviet Song Performers in Minsk, performing there the songs “ dark night", "Migratory Birds Are Flying" and his "Ballad of Mother", for the performance of which he received the Audience Award.
Very soon, the song “Ballad of Mother” was featured at the All-Union television festival “Song-74”, and made the name of Evgeny Martynov popularly known. Composer Oleg Ivanov said: “Like many, I was struck by Zhenya’s first song. It was “The Ballad of a Mother,” which literally swept across the country in those years. I was struck by the music, the poetry, and the passionate performance... And what’s interesting is that a year before I was shown poems by Andrei Dementyev, but I felt that I couldn’t write a song based on them. The poems seemed to be waiting for Martynov. Then we met him at the X World Festival of Youth and Students in Berlin. It was wonderful to sit next to Zhenya and listen to him sing. Just happiness. He combined in himself a composer, a singer, and a musician who masterfully played the piano: his instrument sounded bright and orchestral. A brilliant pianist, Martynov played claviers of any complexity from sight. Once he demonstrated a musical joke - he played a piece on an upside-down clavier. Zhenya had a bright melodic talent. He never played in the middle class. In two or three years he became one of the most popular composers. His compositions attracted the most famous performers. The composer’s creative palette combines two Slavic cultures: Zhenya, Russian, lived in Ukraine, which gave his melodies a special melodiousness. His songs were beautiful with the beauty that comes from generous sunny land. And he sang them with such emotional intensity, as if for the first and last time, he was burning and giving this burning to people.”
Despite the good start creative career, the personal life of Evgeny Martynov did not work out for a long time. Initially, he was forced to arrange a fictitious marriage in order to obtain Moscow registration. Pianist Leonty Atalyan spoke about this: “At one time, Zhenya arranged a fictitious marriage in order to get a Moscow registration for himself. We had a costume designer, Alena Abrosimova. Good girl. She herself suggested to Zhenya: “Let’s sign!” Why are you suffering?" Many musicians did this back then. We worked from Rosconcert. Our base was in Moscow. And when we came to Moscow, every time we had to think about where to spend the night. Zhenya often joked about this. “Leon, which station are you spending the night at today? - he asked loudly so that the director of the team could hear. “I’m on Kursk” “You know, I prefer the air terminal on Leningradka,” I answered. “There’s a good buffet there.”
In 1975, after performing the songs “ Swan fidelity" and "Apple Trees in Blossom" the popularity of Evgeny Martynov strengthened even more, and in the same year he became the winner of the "Grand Prix" international festival pop song "Bratislava Lyre". Moreover, it should be noted that a performer from the USSR received an award at this competition for the first time.
Soon, Martynov’s debut EP was released with three songs performed by him, and it broke all circulation records, being repeatedly re-released at the Melodiya Company record factories for almost two years. The poet Vladimir Kudryavtsev said: “Fate brought me together with Evgeny in the early 70s in Moscow, in the apartment of the poet Andrei Dementyev... I will never forget that evening. In a home environment, Martynov’s songs performed by him sounded especially confidential and very touching, full of drama and incredible soulfulness. Andrei's wife Galina, having probably listened to these confessional songs more than once, could not stand it and burst into tears. And we, men, were excited and touched. And for a long time they were impressed by what they heard. And for Evgeny, probably, the very homely atmosphere in the Dementiev family’s living room was special. He was drawn to the family light. It turns out that he then, without Moscow registration and any housing, spent the night - at the Kursk station. He joked then: “My address: the left bench to the right of the policeman. Just don’t tell Andrey this address. I don't like it when people feel sorry for me. He will definitely invite me to live with them...” I stayed in Moscow for a few more days, and he and I lived in a hotel, in the same room. Evgeniy's intelligence, humor and cheerfulness were captivating. He had many acquaintances in Moscow, and to the traditional question: “How is life?” - he invariably answered: “It’s better than to live like this, God forbid you die.” - “What are you talking about?! - not understanding the play on words, they told him. “You still have to live and live.”
Over the years of his composing and performing activities, Martynov was awarded many laureate titles and honorary diplomas. He was awarded in 1973 at the All-Union Competition of Soviet Song Performers in Minsk and the World Festival of Youth and Students in Berlin. In 1974, he was noted at the All-Union television festival of Soviet songs “Young Voices”. In 1975, he received an award at the international pop song competition "Bratislava Lyre" in Czechoslovakia, and in 1976 - at the international pop song competition "Golden Orpheus" in Bulgaria. In 1976, Martynov received an award at the international pop song festival “Melodies of Friends” in Kyiv, and in 1977 at the “Dechinsky Yakor” in Czechoslovakia. Unexpectedly for Martynov, foreign artists began to perform his songs. Notifications began to arrive from the All-Union Copyright Agency about the performance of his songs in the most various parts light: in all socialist countries, in Finland, Spain, England, Canada, USA and Japan.
In 1978, Evgeniy married a Kiev woman named Evelina, with whom he had a son, Sergei, in 1984, who was named after the composer Sergei Rachmaninov and the poet Sergei Yesenin.
In 1980, the composer was awarded the honorary title of laureate of the Lenin Komsomol Prize; from 1974 to 1990, Martynov was regularly recognized as a laureate of the All-Union television festivals “Song of the Year”, and since 1984 he became a member of the Union of Composers. His colleague, composer Georgy Movsesyan said: “Yuri Gulyaev, Zhenya and I always met on happy occasions and performed together. We were welcome guests among sailors, astronauts, and athletes. I am grateful to Zhenya for the fact that, unlike the “unicorns”, he did not put an earring on his ear and always appeared on stage smart and elegant, respecting his listeners. He wanted an attitude towards the song that parents have towards their children. And he wrote the claviers of his songs with care, like a student taking an exam, although he was both a specialist and a master. In general, he was stupefyingly conscientious and treated work as something sacred, and not as a trade. Many of us rushed to another “religion”, he remained with his god...” Receiving laureate titles was accompanied by the presentation of special diplomas and prizes “For Elegance”, “For Artistic Charm” and “For Telegenicity”. This success with a capital S changed the atmosphere around the name of Evgeny Martynov, but not Evgeny himself.
The most inspired and fruitful was the creative alliance between Martynov and Andrei Dementiev. The Martynov-Dementyev collaboration led to the appearance of the songs “ Father's house", "Natalie", "Yesenin's birthday", "Sorry" and "Swallows have returned home." However, other famous songwriters - Robert Rozhdestvensky, Andrei Voznesensky, Ilya Reznik, Igor Shaferan, Mikhail Tanich, Leonid Derbenev, Nikolai Dobronravov, Rimma Kazakova and many other authors willingly collaborated with Evgeny Martynov.
Martynov’s songs sounded everywhere: “I’ll give you the whole world”, “Nightingales are singing, singing...”, “Start over”, “Seagulls over the water”, “Cheerful umbrella”, “Song of my love”. After 1975, Martynov released 5 original minions with the title “Evgeny Martynov sings his songs.” The editions of these minions immediately sold out, and often the composer himself, who generously gave away records to fans, was unable to purchase them in stores. In 1979, his large album went on sale.
Martynov toured a lot with success in different countries world - USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Finland, India and Switzerland. Classmate Evgenia Martynova Professor T.I. Kireeva said: “Zhenya was unusually cheerful, a bright person. Both as a friend and as a musician he was amazing. He always exuded love of life and joy. He generously bestowed his rays of sunshine on each individual and our entire student fraternity. I never lost heart. When I came to the conservatory or dormitory, I always joked and laughed. Where Zhenya was, there was always fun, laughter and, of course, song. We were amazed at his resourcefulness; he knew how to stir up anyone. Usually he would sit down at the piano and play, and then start singing.”
The fact that Evgeny Martynov loved to joke was also confirmed by Leonty Atalyan: “Martynov kept his first fees - 400-500 rubles ... in his swimming trunks, wrapped in a plastic bag. For him it was wealth. Sometimes on trips Zhenya took out fifty dollars and stolniki, sculpted them on the window of the bus and had fun watching how people passing nearby reacted. He generally loved to joke.”
Until 1990, which became his last, Evgeny Martynov was one of the most popular and beloved authors and performers in the USSR. Yuri Martynov said: “Evgeny Martynov, in my opinion, is one of the last composers who was accepted with open arms solely for his talent. “Maybe you and I really don’t understand something? - Zhenya said. - I'm already tired of all this. My nerves can’t stand it... And most importantly, I’m ashamed. It’s a shame to push, almost with fists, defending the right of your creativity to have a place on the air.”
The poet Vladimir Kudryavtsev said: “Over time, Evgeny came to me in Kyiv. It was blooming May, and suddenly it began to rain mushrooms. And when it was over, we... went to Hydropark. We stood on the banks of the Dnieper, and just at that time a rainbow bloomed. And Zhenya tells me: “Write about it. I even have a chorus.” And he sang: “Marcephali, marcephali...” This was his favorite word, the meaning of which he himself did not know. When I called him later, I said: “Hello, Marcefali!” However, on the same day he was already humming the first lines of a song that had not yet been written:
"Grant me for joy
Kolyori travnevih raydug..."
We met with Evgeniy many more times - in Moscow and Kyiv. But this song remained the only one. I mean: the song is in Ukrainian... And now the last one. (We are talking about the song “Colori Kohannya”, in Russian - “Colors of Love”). He promised me to come to Yalta in October, where I moved for permanent residence. And so...”
On September 3, 1990, at about 10 a.m., Evgeniy Martynov entered the 180th police station, with whom he had long maintained friendly relations (he repeatedly spoke to police officers and introduced him to his work). He was cheerful and cheerful. An hour later, citizens called the police and reported that the lifeless body of a man was lying at the entrance. Police officers urgently went to the scene of the incident and recognized the singer and composer Yevgeny Martynov in the dead man lying there. As it became known, he was walking home, and suddenly he felt bad with his heart. He sat down on the steps at the entrance, but the pain apparently did not go away. Passers-by tried to help him, he was called " ambulance" But Martynov’s mouth began to bleed, his face began to turn black, and soon he died suddenly. The cause of death was acute heart failure. The called ambulance, which arrived 40 minutes later, could no longer help.
“I’ll give you the whole world” was the title of one of the songs by composer Evgeny Martynov, and this could be the title of his entire work. For Evgeny Martynov really gave his admirers the vast world of Beauty, Flight, Spring and Love, forever remaining in our memory as a symbol of light, fidelity and inspiration.
Evgeny Martynov is buried at the Novo-Kuntsevo cemetery.
Evgeniy Martynov’s wife remarried and moved with her son to Spain. In recognition of the composer’s merits, in 1992 one of the streets of Artyomovsk in Donbass was named after Evgeniy Martynov. On the initiative of cultural figures and friends of the artist in Moscow in 1993, the Moscow cultural society “Evgeny Martynov Club” was created, engaged in cultural and charitable activities, and promoting creative heritage a wonderful composer and singer. In 1995, a tombstone monument was unveiled at the grave of Evgeny Martynov at the Novo-Kuntsevo cemetery.
In 1998, Yuri Martynov’s book “The Swan Loyalty of Evgeny Martynov” was published, in which, based on factual material, official documents, publications from different years, statements of colleagues, archival photographic materials, and based on memories sibling the composer's life and creative path the brightest representative of professional song art Soviet Union 70-80s of the XX century.

While sorting through Evgeniy Martynov's papers, his brother Yuri found notes that can be considered the musician's creative testament. There are the following lines: “Civic lyrics are close to me - a continuation of the traditions of Soviet song. It is important to preserve all the best that was written by composers in this genre. We must continue the traditions, otherwise we will destroy our national Russian song culture. Now girls aged 14 - 17 have begun to dictate fashion. For them, the main thing is the dance rhythm. Hence the poems with the corresponding content. People have forgotten how to sing. And what is more important - entertainment in music or its educational value? The song has authors. Nowadays the culture is nameless, unbridled, there is no responsibility for writing. Members of the Composers' Union are not respected. And professionals must be respected, we strived so hard to become them! A member of the creative union is almost the personification of stagnation, but the guy with the guitar is the foreman of perestroika!.. The song should unite people of all ages!”

The talented singer and composer Evgeny Martynov passed away very early, at only 42 years old.
He was found dead in the entrance, the official cause of death was acute heart failure. But there are many facts that cast doubt on the diagnosis. For example, the fact that Martynov, as his brother Yuri says, never had any heart problems at all...
- Yuri, three years before his brother’s death they stopped showing him on TV. What is the reason?
With the advent of perestroika, people gradually began to turn to the West. Our native, real Russian singing has become somewhat unfashionable, including Martynov’s songs. This was a serious blow for my brother. He didn't understand what was happening. He is invited to filming, he performs, calls his parents so that they turn on the TV at such and such times - but the program goes on without him, Martynov was cut out!
I understand the editors: the concert lasts three hours, but we need to do one and a half hours - someone needs to be cut out. And for three years this “someone” was Zhenya. Allegedly, his songs became boring. And the new ones did not fit into that fashion. The real art of song, which Zhenya always tried to convey, was no longer needed by anyone. And this, of course, hit the psyche, the nerves.
- Did he take such cases painfully?
Yes, sure. He could take the phone and throw it at the TV. Or drink a bottle of cognac in one gulp. Every creative person has a hard time with this. And when one thing overlaps another, there must be a way out. And Zhenya periodically fell into stress...
“DO YOU WANT TO BE A DRUG ADDICATOR?”
- Stress is a nervous disease. Did Evgeniy turn to doctors or cope on his own?
At first, the changes in Zhenya were noticed by her relatives. His mood began to change dramatically. Either he is cheerful, the life of the party, he tells jokes - that is, he is ordinary. And then, suddenly, he suddenly became somewhat despondent. Then other problems began - Zhenya stopped sleeping at night. It was then that he asked for medical help. I took him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs hospital to see doctors I knew, and my brother agreed to undergo a full examination.
- What diagnosis did the doctors make?
They didn't find any heart problems. But the neurologist had questions for his brother. He prescribed him strong sedatives and tranquilizers. He told me to take it no more than once a day, and only as a last resort. I strictly forbade mixing them with alcohol.
But Zhenya began to drink them almost constantly and, what can we say, neglecting the ban on mixing with alcohol. How many times did I say to him: “Do you want to become a drug addict?” And he complained in response that the pills were no longer taking him. The nervous system is used to it.
- Loved ones most often suffer from mental breakdowns. How did his wife cope with the changes in his character?
I think that Elya (Evelina Martynova. - Ed .) just confused. She is 12 years younger than Zhenya; they met when she was barely 17. Her brother immediately surrounded Elya with luxury unimaginable in Soviet times - foreign clothes, a four-room apartment, restaurants.
But you have to be prepared for the underside of “star” life. And this despite the fact that Zhenya never cheated on her! But creative people- vulnerable. When the breakdowns began, Elya did not know what to do. I tried to get my ex-husband back quickly. But it doesn’t happen like that; you have to babysit artists.
I remember coming to their house and seeing Zhenya, almost naked, lying in the hallway and moaning. All covered in some stains. I ask: what is happening to my brother? Elya replied that Zhenya had arrived from some banquet drunk, and so that in such a state he would not “beat his soul” and complain, she gave him diphenhydramine.
That is, it turned out to be such a lethal, semi-narcotic mixture. I immediately grab my brother and take him to the clinic. For the rest of my life I remembered the doctor’s words: “Why don’t you take care of your Eugene at all?”
“ROTARU CONSIDERED THAT HE CHEATED ON HER”
- Elya was close to musical environment? Did she understand her husband’s feelings?
Zhenya met Elya at a concert in Kyiv. She and her friend went backstage to another musician, and Zhenya just “fortunately” stood next to him. He had just sung his “Alyonushka” for the first time, the audience received it well - and then there was such a pretty girl standing right behind the scenes. Well, he fell in love.
However, the difference was not only in age, but also in social status. Martynov was the most popular artist at that time. This is judging by the fees that came from the authors' society - in 1975-1978 Zhenya was the absolute champion. 
Elya then studied at Kiev music school, but she didn’t go further with her studies. After the wedding, her job became to spend her husband’s money.
- How much did Martynov earn?
A popular song brought the composer up to five thousand a month. And Zhenya had several such songs - just count them. When his brother decided to get married, some friends dissuaded him. Some kind of greedy interest was visible.
I remember the words of his older friend, the poet Andrei Dementyev, that it is not worth marrying young people. True, Dementyev himself later married a girl much younger than himself, but then he was right. In my opinion, my brother did not have the strong rear that a family should have in difficult times.
With Andrei Dementyev, Martynov wrote his brightest hits - “Swan Fidelity”, “Alyonushka”. But soon the creative union broke up. What happened?
Then every song had to be punched through. Dementiev and Martynov made all their hits - “Swan Fidelity”, “Alyonushka” together: they took the rap at artistic councils, visited the editorial offices of Central Television. But over time, Andrei lost his passion. He got involved in everyday life and began building a dacha.
At artistic councils, Zhenya had to answer for two people - both the composer and the author of poetry. But the problem is that the officials had no questions about the music. But because of flaws in the verses, the song was not broadcast. And what will Zhenya do? He transfers criticism to Dementyev, who swears at “stupid officials.” But there’s no point, the song doesn’t go on air.
And one day Zhenya couldn’t stand it. He arranged a meeting with Lapin himself (chairman of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company), but Dementyev did not come. My brother freaked out a lot then. With tears and swearing, he threw the phone on the floor, left the house and got drunk in a restaurant. After this incident there were no more contacts with Dementiev.
- There was another significant participant in this union - Sofia Rotaru. Why did she stop performing Martynov's songs?
- Sofia was supposed to perform Zhenya’s song “The Spell.” But it turned out that the brother simultaneously offered it to Nadezhda Chepraga, and she took it and sang it faster to Rotaru.
Sofia then stated that she does not sing songs from someone else’s voice. And this meant a break - Zhenya seemed to creatively cheat on her. Although Martynov never wrote songs for a specific artist. He offered it to everyone. Whoever does it better, let him sing.
“It’s EASIER TO BLAME IT ON HEART FAILURE”
- Who has been friends with Martynov in recent years?
Famous friends whom he watered and fed in restaurants and to whom he lent money somehow quickly disappeared. To last days There was only one editor from a popular magazine with Zhenya - that’s probably all.
- So what circumstances of Evgeniy’s death make you doubt the diagnosis?
No one conducted an investigation, they didn’t even open a case. But there are a lot of inconsistencies. It is known that on the eve of his death, Zhenya asked two local drivers to repair his car. They agreed for two bottles of vodka. They were cut into three. But how? From one glass or from three? Nobody found out.
When Zhenya became ill, the drivers carried him into the elevator. What was in the elevator? No one examined him - for blood, hair, signs of a struggle.
The next alarming fact: the police were the first to arrive at the scene of the tragedy. Without waiting for an ambulance, they called a doctor from the nearest clinic. She turned out to be a child. The doctor gave an injection. But which one? No one was looking for the ampoule or syringe. Where did they go?..
These are the most basic questions. And for some reason this children’s doctor immediately disappeared. There are many inconsistencies. However, it is easier to blame it on heart failure.
- Were any post-mortem tests done? 
Yes, I ordered tests for some poisons. They found an increased content of toxic chemicals of alcoholic origin. That is, it is clear that the alcohol was surrogate. Did he cause death? Maybe. But the analysis also showed traces of ammonia in the blood. It could cause swelling of the palate, swelling of the nasal mucosa...
- Where could ammonia come from in the blood? This drug is not taken orally.
Each mobile police group has ammonia with them. But they don’t let the victim smell it, they just splash it in the nose. So it was with Zhenya. They literally flooded it. When I received the clothes from the morgue, they smelled of ammonia. It is clear that it got on the mucous membranes and could cause swelling.
- Do you communicate with your brother’s wife and nephew?
No, they broke away almost immediately. Elya soon married Zhenya’s acquaintance and went with him to Spain.
- Did his son Sergei follow in his father’s footsteps?
As far as I know, he sells Spanish furniture. An acquaintance once met him at an exhibition in Moscow. Neither Sergei nor Elya appear in Moscow now, they do not even come to the grave. Although I really need help. I come to the Kuntsevo cemetery every weekend. I remove dried flowers and make room for new ones. They are never translated on the grave of a brother...

Evgeny Grigorievich Martynov (1948-1990) - Soviet pop singer and composer.
Born on May 22, 1948 in Kamyshin (now Volgograd region). His father, a rifle platoon commander, returned from the war as an invalid, his mother was a nurse at the front. After 5 years, the family moved to Donbass (father’s homeland), Artyomovsk. Zhenya showed early talent for music. His father taught him to play first the button accordion, then the accordion. He graduated from the Artyomovsk Music College, clarinet class. In 1967 he entered the Kyiv Conservatory named after P. I. Tchaikovsky, but soon transferred to the Donetsk Musical Pedagogical Institute (now the S. S. Prokofiev Conservatory), which he graduated ahead of schedule in 1971, majoring in clarinet.
In 1972, in Moscow, as a composer, he met Maya Kristalinskaya, who first performed his song “Birch” based on the verses of S. Yesenin and introduced the young composer to the public at the pop theater. In the same year, the song “My Love” performed by Gyulli Chokheli was heard on central television.
Since 1973, Evgeny Martynov lived in Moscow and worked first at the State Concert Association “Rosconcert” (soloist-vocalist), and then at the publishing houses “Young Guard” and “Pravda” (music editor-consultant). Member of the Union of Composers of the USSR since 1984.
Over the years of his composing and performing activities, E. G. Martynov was awarded many laureate titles and honorary diplomas, in particular at the All-Union Competition of Soviet Song Performers in Minsk (1973), the World Festival of Youth and Students in Berlin (1973) , the All-Union television festival of Soviet songs “Young Voices” (1974), the international pop song competition “Bratislava Lyre” in Czechoslovakia (1975), the international pop song competition “Golden Orpheus” in Bulgaria (1976).
In his work, Evgeny Martynov relied on the most successful lyrical or civic poems by I. R. Reznik, A. D. Dementyev, R. I. Rozhdestvensky, M. S. Plyatskovsky and other outstanding Soviet poets. Martynov's melodies are beautiful, sometimes very whimsical, bright and soulful, well orchestrated.
Martynov's voice is a very sonorous, velvety soft tenor (baritone tenor), with a fairly wide range (he was offered to become opera singer) and with a rare beautiful timbre. It is the characteristic timbre that is distinctive feature Martynov's voice. Thanks to his stage appearance, personal charm, as well as his inspired, optimistic style of singing, Martynov carried a charge of positive emotions, conveying to the listener a feeling of joy and admiration. Even Martynov’s tragic and dramatic songs (“Swan Fidelity”, “Ballad of Mother”, etc.) end in a light and sublime way. Martynov's popularity in the USSR never decreased throughout his creative life.
Martynov's songs were performed by outstanding Soviet singers of the 1970-1980s - Sofia Rotaru, Joseph Kobzon, Anna German, Vadim Mulerman, Alexander Serov, Georgy Minasyan, Maria Codreanu, Mikhail Chuev, Eduard Khil and others.
The life of Evgeny Martynov was tragically cut short in his forty-third year, on September 3, 1990. The official cause of death is acute heart failure.
The circumstances of the death are described ambiguously by eyewitnesses. According to a casual acquaintance, the singer felt ill in the elevator. It is likely that Martynov could have been saved if he had received qualified medical assistance in a timely manner. He was buried at the Kuntsevo cemetery in Moscow. Shortly before his death, on August 27, 1990, at the qualifying edition of the “Song of the Year - 90” festival, he performed his last song“Maryina Roshcha” based on poems by Ilya Reznik.

Zhenya was supposed to take his father to the clinic, but his car stubbornly wouldn’t start. And he went to look for a mechanic who had once helped him fix it. On the way, I went to the police station, talked to the guys I knew, asked them for a glass of vodka, and said that my heart was aching. There was no vodka, and he moved on.
An hour and a half later the police called home and my mother answered the phone. She was told that an accident had happened to Zhenya and he was in the hospital. They promised to call back, but there was still no call. Then the father himself went to the police station - he, as a man and a soldier, was told the truth.
Zhenya was found unconscious in the entrance of the sixth building of house No. 10 on Garibaldi Street. My brother came there with two mechanics who promised to repair his Volga.
Before that we drank a bottle of vodka. According to his drinking companions, Zhenya only took a sip, but they finished the rest. Seeing that the customer felt bad, these people first ran away, and then got so drunk that the police had no way to interrogate them. Allegedly, they were going to that entrance to see a taxi driver who had once already repaired his brother’s car. But when the police tried to find him, it turned out that such a person had never lived in this house.
What did the doctors say: could your brother be saved?
The resuscitation measures were late because the police who arrived at the scene of the incident for some reason first brought a pediatrician from a nearby clinic, who, of course, could not help, and only then called an ambulance.
The official report on Zhenya’s death says: “Acute heart failure,” but in this case even today there are many more questions than answers.
The circumstances of Yevgeny Martynov’s death are ambiguous: his relatives do not believe in heart attack, they believe it was murder. What do you think, former investigator?
Unfortunately, in recent years I have not communicated with him as often as I would like, and I learned about his death from television news. I didn’t call, but immediately went to the Martynovs’ house - they already lived on Pilyugin Street then. I remember being struck by the broken glass doors to the entrance, and the thought immediately flashed through my mind: something is wrong here. But then, having learned all the circumstances of the case, I came to the conclusion that Zhenya’s death was natural after all. This is where everything went - they stopped inviting him to concerts, they bullied him in every possible way, he had problems with television broadcasts, he was very worried about this, and his heart could not stand it.

Lyrics of the song “Swan Faithfulness”
Words by A. Dementyev
Music by Evg. Martynov
Swans were flying above the ground
On a sunny day,
They were light and happy
Together in the sky.
And the earth seemed gentle
At this moment they...
Suddenly someone shot at the birds -
And a cry broke out:
"What's wrong with you, my love?
Call back quickly -
Without your love
The sky is getting sadder.
Where are you, my beloved?
Come back soon -
With its tender beauty
Warm my heart."
He was looking for a girlfriend in the sky,
Called from the nest
But she answered with silence
The bird is in trouble.
Fly to happy lands
The swan could not -
Having lost a faithful friend,
He became lonely.
"Forgive me, my love,
For someone else's evil
What is my wing
Happiness did not save.
Forgive me, my love,
What a spring day
In the sky blue, as before,
We can't be together."
And it was irreparable
This trouble
That you won't meet your friend
He never.
The swan rose again to the cloud,
I interrupted the song.
And, fearlessly folding his wings,
He fell to the ground.
I want swans to live
And from the white flocks,
And from the white flocks
The world has become kinder.
Let swans fly across the sky
Above my land
Fly above my destiny
To the bright world of people.
