Chapter III The Melancholy of Lieutenant Lermontov

Mikhail Mikhailovich Zvezdinsky (real name Deinekin). Born on March 6, 1945 in Lyubertsy. Russian musician, singer, chanson performer.

As the artist noted, Zvezdinsky is not exactly a pseudonym: it is the surname of his Polish ancestors, although in Polish the surname sounded like Gwezdinsky.

Father - Mikhail Evgenievich Deinekin and grandfather Evgeny Pavlovich Deinekin (junker tsarist army) - were shot before Zvezdinsky was born. Although according to other sources, the father left for Poland before Mikhail’s birth. Mikhail’s grandfather signed his letters to his grandmother like this: “I kiss your hands tenderly, Lieutenant, always in love with you.” During his arrest, he was told that “there are no lieutenants in the Red Army,” without listening to arguments that this was a humorous signature in personal correspondence.

Mother - Lidia Semyonovna Deinekina - worked in the design bureau of an aircraft plant, and was also repressed. Therefore, the future artist was raised by his grandmother, a noblewoman who graduated from the Smolny Institute noble maidens. She instilled in her grandson a love for pre-revolutionary Russia. Based on her stories about life in the Russian Empire, officers, Zvezdinsky’s grandfather and civil war and songs of the White Guard cycle were written. The first of them was the romance “Paris is Waiting for You,” written in 1960.

In the summer, the family lived in a dacha in Tomilino, in the winter - in Nastasinsky Lane in Moscow.

He grew up as a hooligan and was expelled from school several times.

Graduated School of Music in Zhukovsky near Moscow by class percussion instruments. Also mastered classical guitar- two instruments remained in the family from my grandfather.

In the 1970s, according to the artist, he worked in the restaurant industry. He also organized underground concerts.

"Every year I opened new restaurant, which became a fashionable nightclub. We got together with friends and organized such evenings. If you can sing, sing, if you can play, play: complete democracy. At such concerts, “Lieutenant Golitsyn”, “Candles” and other songs were performed for the first time. IN Soviet times all this, of course, was prohibited, but there was some kind of flair of mystery, mystery,” said Zvezdinsky.

According to him, she performed in one of “his” restaurants: “It was 1976, the Arlekino restaurant, named, by the way, in honor of Alla. Maxim Dunaevsky, Savely Kramarov, Yuri Antonov were there... Everyone performed, as they say, for themselves: everyone could go on stage and sing something. And no one received a penny. Pugacheva was already popular then, but because of these “concerts” she got into trouble. She sang in English, we couldn’t get her to do it. so that she would perform her hits. In general, it was a bohemian club in Odintsovo, with very good cuisine, soloists often came there. Bolshoi Theater, popular actors, pop performers".

In 1980, he recorded the first concerts with VIA Favorit and VIA Joker.

In 1980, he received six years for bribery and private entrepreneurship.
