The place of birth of Alexei Lazarevich Meerovich was Moscow, the date was November 13, 1954. The surname Makarevich, taken by the boy later, was borne by his mother as a girl. Vera Grigorievna's life was connected with biology. The family had a relationship with creativity only through the father’s side, and even then it was of a technical nature. Lazar Natanovich Meerovich, working as a factory engineer at a scientific institute, patented several inventions. In addition to Lesha, his sister Lena grew up in the family; she was older.

After completing training at secondary school Alyosha decides to connect his life with architecture and continues his studies at the Moscow Architectural Institute. Within the walls of the university, the young man is seriously interested in music, and connects his entire subsequent life with it. Together with Alexey Romanov, a colleague in several musical projects, they, being successful students, went through expulsion from the institute according to the delusional Soviet instructions “on cleansing students from hairy evil spirits” and subsequent reinstatement.

Back in the last century, the mid-70s, a young man created his first team, calling it “Danger Zone”, later, in ’76, changing the name to “Kuznetsky Most”, in honor of a famous street in the center of Moscow. Even then, he wrote several songs that later became famous when performed by “Resurrection.”

"Resurrection"

The history of the group, which celebrated its fortieth anniversary in 1919, begins in the spring of 1979. The musically gifted architect becomes the band's lead guitarist.

Young, ambitious musicians without proper equipment or any repertoire gathered for rehearsals in Makarevich’s apartment. In 2-3 weeks, about 10 songs were created that were included in the first album “Resurrection”. The author of several of them was Alexey. The genres of the works were very different: ballads, beat, rock and roll, funk, psychedelia.

The recording of the album took place at night in recording studio GITIS, a total of 16 singles were recorded. Six latest songs belong to Konstantin Nikolsky.

The recordings were transferred to a friend of the editor of the Moscow World Servise radio station, which broadcast to the Western world during the preparation of the 1980 Olympics. It so happened that during this period censorship was somewhat weakened, and the songs of the Resurrection group instantly became popular.

After a short rest, the team began preparing concert activities. Due to the popularity of the repertoire, the audience received the artists with delight. The song “Who is to Blame” became popular for many years business card"Resurrections", and the deeply philosophical work "The Musician" corresponded to the worldview of the most serious public.

Having existed for a year and a half, having soared to the very pinnacle of fame, the project falls apart. Everyone had their own reasons. Makarevich, in particular, did not receive sufficient self-realization from his activities.

Fifteen years later, in 1994, the guitarist returned to the famous band, but not for long.

Producer

The idea to engage in producing activities came to the musician by accident. His adopted daughter Nastya invited him to a reporting concert at the children's pop theater, where she and her friends sang. Alexey, who was working as a theater designer at that time, looked at the girls from a professional point of view.

They were fundamentally different, each had a unique timbre, but all together it looked and sounded beautiful. In addition, '91 was graduation year amateur group, there were no further prospects. And Makarevich promised to create a girls’ alliance out of them.

At the very beginning of its activities, the producer of the newly formed group “Lyceum” was responsible for every little detail: what the girls would wear, how they enter and leave and look on stage, how they cut their hair, what kind of gestures and facial expressions the singers had. I had to learn a lot again.

Alexey Lazarevich was a demanding person, sometimes to the point of being boring, and Nastya and her friends worked a lot.

In the same year, the group’s first performance took place in the “Morning Star” program with the hit group ABBA. Charismatic girls were noticed. The first independent songs were the producer’s works from the “Resurrection” repertoire. Subsequently, Makarevich wrote many songs for the Lyceum. The most famous and beloved was, of course, “Autumn”. During the life of the producer, the Lyceum group released 10 albums.

Over the 28 years of the group’s existence, the composition has changed more than once, but the soloist and face has always been daughter Nastya, who became a producer after the death of her adoptive father and brought to life his order - to grow and move forward.

The year 2002 was marked for the accomplished producer by participating in television program“Become a Star”, where his task was to select applicants for participation. As a result of the project, the young group “Other Rules” was born.

Personal life

The famous rock guitarist and permanent leader of the Time Machine Andrei Makarevich is cousin Alexey on the maternal side.

The theater artist’s wife then became a classmate, Valeria Vernaldovna Kapralova (last name after her first husband).
