Oleg Garkusha

Russian musician of the band "Auktsion" and actor Oleg Garkusha was born 23 February 1961. In 1980 he graduated from the Leningrad Film College. For some time after graduating from the technical college he worked as a projectionist in the Sovremennik and Titan movie theaters. According to Garkusha himself, on the stage he got by accident. In 1985 he was asked to sing a couple of phrases of a song, verses to which he wrote. He sang, everyone liked it. So he became a participant of "Auktsion". After his arrival in the band, the image of "Auktsiona" radically changed. The band's performances turned into eccentric shows with a buffoonery. The well-known songs of "Auktsyon", laid on the verses of Garkusha, are "Money is paper", "Wolf," "Airplane", "Pioneer" and "Bird" written by Garkusha in 1991 in the days of the August putsch. Album "Ass" of 1990 consists almost entirely of songs on Oleg's poetry. Oleg Garkusha played in the movies: Vzlomshchik (1987), Prezumptsiya nevinovnosti (1988), Khrustalyov, mashinu!
