Khoya's birthday. Yuri Khoy biography

Last year, one tombstone was replaced at the left bank Voronezh cemetery. Well, the cemetery is already accustomed to broken monuments and such castlings. Hoy with a guitar, Hoy without a guitar, Hoy with a cross, Hoy against the backdrop of the inscription “Hoy” and his own quote about the unknown meaning of life - as if even after death this restless guy cannot tame his bubbling energy.
There are biographies that require the compiler to have a decent knowledge of geography. Life, which does not yet know that it is a biography, throws people first to one end of the map, then to the other, draws lines, bizarre zigzags of dotted lines between strange foreign names- real Arabic script, which takes many hours to unravel.

There are others. The life line in such biographies is not a line at all. She seems more confident bold point on the map. At such a point he was born, lived and died Yuri Klinskikh. It’s very easy to imagine – take a pen and draw two circles. The one in the center should be painted over. Inscribe at the top - Voronezh. And a little larger - Khoy. From it, of course, some frail spider legs of dotted lines will stretch out - to Moscow, to the Far East, and somewhere else. But all this is unimportant. The person who “turned on” on July 27, 1964 did everything to “turn off” exactly there, in July, 36 years later.

“I wrote my first poem at school, I remember something about spring”

Yura Khoy, then simply Yura Klinskikh, was born into the family of housewife Maria Kuzminichna Klinskikh and engineer Nikolai Mitrofanovich, who worked at the Voronezh aircraft plant. He was not the only son of the Klinsky couple; little Khoy had two older brothers. Since childhood, the boy grew up smart and inquisitive, interested in everything he could reach.
At school, Yura did not stand out as anything special. He was lazy, got C grades, and took home bad marks for his behavior. His diploma of secondary education is decorated with a single B. Not by singing, but by work. In addition, Yura often did not come to the first lessons, was late and stayed up late with books. He was honest and tried never to lie.

From a young age, Yura's older brothers introduced him to music; rock and roll could often be heard in the Klinsky house. The guys listened to Soviet music, the Beatles, Deep Purpl - first on records, then on reels. The father taught the youngest to... poetry, the study of literature and the rules of versification. He himself wrote poetry all his life, published - but somehow without much success. The lessons given to him later manifested themselves in his son’s obscene, rollicking songs, which, despite the “vile”, “ugly” in the opinion of literary critics, the content had “impeccable style and style.”
If Yura’s father helped him with the syllable, then the support was provided by the obligatory village holidays, during which he often disappeared the whole summer. Another source of inspiration was horror films - first Soviet ones, like Viy, then - any that could be obtained on cassette tapes and watched to their holes at night. Hoy learned to play the guitar in school, and at the same time he composed his first songs.
After graduating from school and studying at DOSSAF for the sake of free rights, Yura sat behind the wheel of a tank for two years. His unit was stationed at Far East. Without any incidents, he served until 1984 and was demobilized.

“To work in the police, you need bad person be. There are, of course, normal people there, but they don’t belong there.”

After the army, Yuri joined the traffic police, but did not fit in with the police. He himself always loved speed, cars, and the place common man I could put myself down - I tried not to fine those who were a little over the speed limit, people from villages, people without money - I felt sorry for them. But he didn’t know how to bend before his superiors. They say that Yura even slowed down the mayor of Voronezh, who was driving through a red light. And to the question “do you know who I am?” He replied that he didn’t want to know. Another time he stopped some important priest in this manner, and, naturally, both times he got himself into trouble. In addition, Hoy could never fulfill the plan for fines assigned by the traffic police management. Three years in barter gradually turned into hard labor. For the last few months of his contract, Yura served in private security, counting down the days until his new demobilization. As Nikolai Mitrofanovich later recalled, Yuri barely worked his last day at the police station, came home, tore off his uniform, threw it on the floor and began to trample with his feet and tear something. Having finished with what he thought was a nasty job, Hoy began to earn other income - he worked as a milling machine operator, a CNC machine operator at Videophone, and a loader. IN free time wrote songs, played guitar. I started a Volga-31 (the first of four cars), and almost killed myself with it, on the Moscow highway, somewhere near Tula. Hoy sold the restored car, and since then he has tried to stay away from domestic brands. Among his next cars were a red diesel WolksWagen Golf III and a white Daewoo Nexia with power accessories and air conditioning.

“I’m not ashamed of my city, I’ve lived in it all my life, and I’ll most likely die in it...”
Yura Khoy

In his free time from part-time jobs, Yura watched countless horror or mystic films, played billiards and sometimes - as a hobby - made music. When a rock club was opened in Voronezh, Hoy became a regular. At a spring concert in 1987, he played for the first time several songs that he began writing at the same time - in February and March. As Yura later said, he didn’t like the poor themes of amateur groups - “about love, peace, something so... incomprehensible,” so he decided to enrich it with his participation. “Everyone liked it, and that’s how it went…”
He sang solo at the club or invited someone. And on December 5, 1987, Hoy assembled the first lineup of his “Sector” and sang several songs - “I am scum”, “Crazy Corpse”, “Drowned Man”, “Collective Farm Punk” - on the stage of a rock club
The name “Gaza Strip” was a “mysterious combination” for Yura and, at the same time, its Voronezh reality. In his childhood, it was heard because of the Arab-Israeli confrontation, which was often talked about on the radio. And in Voronezh this was also the name for an industrial zone with a bunch of factories and smoking chimneys, and a corresponding criminal atmosphere, where a rock club was located. In short, it was easy for Yura’s team to come up with a name. According to Hoy, it was "a local name for a band that had no intention of going beyond the urban rock club6a."

“I never considered myself a punk...”
Yura Khoy

"When we reached big stage, then a person who had previously worked only with “pop” and who began to feel sick when he heard the word “rock and roll” began to work with us.”
Yura Khoy

After the success of “The Evil Dead” and “Nuclear Louse”, Yura began performing at all sorts of mixed parties – “50x50” and the like, but he quickly got tired of it. He did not want to move to Moscow, “a depraved city of insolent youth,” although he took advantage of the opportunity to record at the Mir studio. His recordings are published by one of the first Russian labels - Gala Records. Legal concerts of the group begin, and with it - concerts of fake "Hoys" in cities. Yura himself did not like to “shine” and deliberately supported the growth of rumors and legends about his group. In terms of sales, everyone knew him on cassettes, but 99% of albums were released by pirates. Hoy did not complain, he lived from the percentage that Gala Records sold in Moscow, official releases at Black Box in Voronezh and numerous concerts (more than 300 in total). His albums were released in 1994, then were re-released by Gala in 1997. “Press the Gas” and “Collective Farm Punk” were also published - in 1991 and 1993 - already on CD, LP, and the same cassettes.

“It makes no difference to us who we play for; we are far from politics. Zhirinovsky pays - we play for Zhirinovsky, another faction will pay - we play for them.”
Yura Khoy

Popularity also grew. It is known that Vladimir Zhirinovsky was delighted with Sector, and Khoy, apolitical as a banana, “reciprocated” for the LDPR, but for money. Yura did not have his own political preferences, sending all politics “...to hell. With a gimlet! He was quite pleased with the construction, because, being from the workers, he earned good money from his talent. However, Hoy believed that if he had to be stuck as a loader, then, of course, he would be dissatisfied with the government.
As Hoy's "Fog" and "Time to Go Home" grew in popularity, they became de facto folk music, music of demobilization, vocational school students, students and rural youth. Zhlobrokgroup - this is how the Gaza Strip was often ironically called - a group that Hoy himself compared to porn, a rogue group, a pariah that was not accepted by either rock or pop music.
It is known that Yura was not averse to playing in a concert with DDT or “Alice”, but he was not invited, and he himself did not ask for it. In 1994, he recorded the punk opera “Koschei the Immortal” - a thrash mixture of Russian fairy tales and music in the spirit of AC/DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers or, Ace Of Base, which attracted the attention of critics. The “Fairy Tale” video is released, which was not filmed due to lack of funds, then the black and white “Fog” - with a chronicle Russian wars. In total, SG releases 4 videos. The fifth - “Fright Night” - was not completed due to the death of the singer.
In the late 90s, SG released a number of techno remixes with the participation of Voronezh DJ Krot.

“I was always striving for a heavy sound”
Yura Khoy

In the last years of his life, Yura Klinskikh changed his image and sound. Instead of a leather jacket, ripped jeans, old T-shirts and army boots, black expensive shoes, dark trousers and a shirt appear. Instead of a rollicking “collective farm” punk - a “cool heavy guy” last album.
“...I’ve tried almost all the drugs, but I’m not used to anything and I’m not going to get used to it. I tried it and that’s enough.”
Yura Khoy

The exact causes of Hoy's death are unknown. On July 4, 2000, he died in a house on Barnaulskaya, on the way from his home to his next recording. In recent years, his health problems have worsened - hepatitis and heart problems were suspected. Hoy drank quite a lot, and by the end of the 90s, friends began to suspect his severe drug addiction. In addition, as many believe, his companion Olga was a complete drug addict. Before his death, Yura complained of pain in the lower abdomen, side and “boiling water in the veins” - but decided that it would go away on its own. It didn’t work, she and Olya found themselves in a “bad” area and got out on Barnaulskaya. In the apartment, Hoy immediately lay down, once again talking about the “boiling water” in his veins. Olga began to call the ambulance - but they answered only the 4th time. The doctors could not help - the heart stopped.
Hoy died. A man who did not like the “dressed up party”, gays and Kirkorov died. A man died who loved heavy sound and heavy rap, speed, simple words and mystical horrors. He “made” his death look like an unpretentious “horror movie” - the sum of the numbers of its date was 13, his last album - “Hellraiser” - contained 13 songs, was the 13th album, released in the 13th year of the existence of “SG”, and two memorial day– 9 and 40 fell on the 13th.
After Yura Klinsky there were two daughters - Ira and Lilya.

“It’s probably better to live without having anything... You become free, like an animal, like a bird... The sky... A lot of time for creativity...” Yuri Klinskikh.

His mother Maria Kuzminichna was a housewife, and his father Nikolai Mitrofanovich Klinskikh was an engineer who worked at the Voronezh aircraft plant. Yuri was not the only son of the Klinsky couple; he had two older brothers. Since childhood, Yuri grew up as a smart and inquisitive boy, interested in everything he could see. At school, Yuri did not stand out for anything special, he studied with C grades and took home “failures” for his behavior. In his certificate of secondary education there was only one “B” in work. Yuri often did not go to his first lessons, but stayed at home late with books. He was honest and tried never to lie.

The older brothers introduced Yura to music from a young age; rock and roll could often be heard in the Klinsky house. All three brothers besides Soviet music listened to bands The Beatles and Deep Purple - first on records, then on reels. Father taught youngest son to poetry, the study of literature and the rules of versification. He himself wrote poetry all his life and published, but without much success. The lessons given by Nikolai Mitrofanovich later manifested themselves in his son’s rollicking songs, which, despite the “ugly” content in the opinion of literary critics, had “impeccable syllable and style.”

If Yuri’s father helped with the syllable, then vacations in the village, where Yuri often went for the whole summer, helped with the content. Another source of inspiration for Yuri was horror films - first Soviet, such as "Viy", then - any that could be obtained on cassettes. Hoy learned to play the guitar in school and composed his first songs at the same time.

Its part was stationed in the Far East. Shortly before serving in the army, he met his future wife Galina. Without any incidents, Yuri served in Blagoveshchensk as a tank driver and was demobilized in 1984.

After the army, Yuri went to work in the traffic police, but did not fit in with the police. “To work in the police, you need to be a bad person. There are, of course, normal people there, but they don’t belong there,” Yuri later said. He himself always loved speed and cars, tried not to fine drivers who slightly exceeded the speed limit, and felt sorry for people from villages. At the same time, he did not like to fawn over his superiors. One day, Yuri stopped the mayor of Voronezh, who was driving through a red light. And to the question: “Do you know who I am?”, he answered that he didn’t want to know. Another time he stopped an important priest, and both times he got into trouble. In addition, Hoy could never fulfill the plan for fines assigned by the traffic police management. Three years of working in the police were real hard labor for him.

For the last few months of his service in the internal affairs bodies, Yuri served in private security, counting the days until his new demobilization. As Nikolai Mitrofanovich later recalled, Yuri barely worked his last day at the police station, came home, took off his uniform, threw it on the floor and began to trample it with his feet. Having finished what he considered to be a bad job, Yuri worked as a milling machine operator, a CNC machine operator at Videofon, and a loader. In his free time, he wrote songs and played the guitar. He bought a Volga and almost crashed it on a Moscow highway somewhere near Tula. Yuri sold the car restored after the accident, and after that he tried to stay away from domestic car brands. Among his next cars were a red diesel VolksWagen Golf III and a white Daewoo Nexia with power accessories and air conditioning.

In his free time from part-time jobs, Yuri watched mystical films or horror films, played billiards and studied music. In the period from 1981 to 1985, he recorded the acoustic album “Years Pass Like a Moment...” on a tape recorder. And when a rock club opened in Voronezh, Yuri became a regular. At a spring concert in 1987, he played for the first time several songs that he began writing at the same time - in February and March. As Yuri later said, he did not like the poverty of the themes of amateur groups and he decided to enrich the rock club with his participation. “I wrote my first poem at school, I remember something about spring. Then, before the army, I learned to play the guitar and tried to do something. But the songs were primitive, about love, all that little stuff. Then, when I returned from the army, I worked at a factory and didn’t think about anything. When the rock club opened, I looked at the amateur groups, I didn’t like their poor themes, I remember they sang something about peace, about love, about something incomprehensible. I decided to shake off the old days. And since I already had experience, I began to do quite well. Everyone liked it, and that’s how it all went…” Yuri later said.

Yuri sang solo at the club or invited someone. On December 5, 1987, he assembled the first lineup of his “Gaza Strip” and sang the songs “I am scum,” “Crazy Corpse,” “Drowned Man” and “Collective Farm Punk” on the stage of a rock club. “I never considered myself a punk...” Yuri said.

At first, “Gaza Strip” performed as an opening act for groups that came to Voronezh, such as “Zvuki Mu” and “Children”. The name “Gaza Strip” was a “mysterious combination” for Yura and, at the same time, its Voronezh reality. In his childhood, it was heard because of the Arab-Israeli confrontation, which was often talked about on the radio. And in Voronezh this was the name given to an industrial zone with a large number of factories and smoking chimneys, and a corresponding criminal atmosphere, where a rock club was located. In general, it was easy for Yuri to come up with a name for his team. According to him, it was "a local name for a band that had no intention of going beyond the urban rock club6a." Subsequently, the composition of the Gaza Strip underwent many changes throughout its existence, but the soloist and leader of the group always remained alone: ​​Yuri Khoy selected people for himself.

Two years later, by 1989, the group recorded two “cassette” albums - “Plows-Woogies” and “Collective Farm Punk”. The quality of the recordings was terrible, and they were sold exclusively in Voronezh. The team's breakthrough was the album "The Evil Dead", released in 1990.

Many works, especially from the early songs, were autobiographical for Yuri. The songs “Java” and “Ment” were written after Yuri left the sobering center, and the songs “Yadrena Vosh” and “Took the Blame” were dedicated to his brother. At that time, Yuri himself tried to “separate” himself and the “lyrical hero” - “a kind of monster in smelly socks, who suffered from all known sexually transmitted diseases and gained impotence.” He said that singing about human vices does not mean endorsing them. For Yura, such songs were, rather, some kind of in a special way fight them.

Hoy never considered himself a classic “punk”. “Perhaps at the beginning of creativity, pure “punk” was visible here and there,” he said in his interviews. Basically, Yuri did what he personally liked, without being attached to the style. And indeed, musically his albums were quite diverse. Yura himself defined the style of his team as “fusion”.

We were born with swear words, we live with swear words.
We learned with swear words, and with swear words we will die.
We ate the matershin with mother's milk.
With obscenities, my dad hit my mother with his fist.

Hoy's role models and favorite music were Western bands - Rage Against The Machine, Biohazard, AC/DC and Alice Cooper. In recent years, Yura has been influenced by heavy rap with its blues, clear rhythms and rock guitars, and throughout his career he has loved punk and death metal. In an interview, Yuri said: “Gaza Strip” is not even a group, but one of my projects. Even now I cannot say that “Sector” is a group. This is more of a live lineup, because I always work alone in the studio. And since 1992, I have been inviting Igor Zhirnov, guitarist of the Rondo group. I’m not at all a supporter of changing musicians, as, say, BG does. If someone left, it was only of their own free will. The main thing in a team is that the person is not a jerk. After all, sometimes a tour can drag on for several weeks or even more. And to be next to someone like that - no, sorry.”

The nickname “Khoy” clung to Yura immediately and quite firmly. In general, this exclamation was then used by many performers - from Venya D'rkin to Yegor Letov, borrowing either from Oi! British cockney music, or from BG’s philosophies, but only Yuri Klinskikh made it a pseudonym. “Hoy, the month is new! Hanging – nailed!” said Venya D’rkin. As Yuri himself said: “Hoy” is just an exclamation, I often say it during songs. The fact that it reminds someone of Tsoi (with whom Yura was personally, albeit occasionally, acquainted) is an accident.” However, in the last years of his life, Yuri began to use the pseudonym less “so that there would be no problems with traffic cops.” Otherwise, they’ll stop him, and he’ll say, “What are you guys talking about, I’m the lead singer in the Gaza Strip.” And they - “You’re lying! Hoy is singing there.”

After the success of the albums “The Evil Dead” and “Yadrena Vosh”, which Yuri sent to Moscow with the help of his friend, the group began performing at various parties, but Yuri quickly got tired of it. “When we entered the big stage, a person who had previously worked only with “pop” and who began to feel sick at the word “rock and roll” began to take care of us,” Yuri Khoy said in an interview.

Yuri did not want to move to Moscow, “a depraved city of insolent youth,” although he took advantage of the opportunity to record at the Mir studio. His recordings were published by one of the first Russian labels - Gala Records. Yuri began to have legal concerts, and with him - concerts of fake "Khoys" in cities. Yuri himself did not like to “shine” and deliberately supported the growth of rumors and legends about his group. Because of the huge sales on cassettes, everyone knew his group, but most audio media were produced by pirates. Hoy did not complain, he lived from the interest that Gala Records paid him after the sale of rights in Moscow, official releases at Black Box in Voronezh and numerous concerts. “I’m not ashamed of my city, I’ve lived in it all my life, and I’ll most likely die in it...”, said Yuri.

During creative activity The group toured many cities in Russia and abroad - in Belarus, Germany, Israel, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Ukraine and Estonia. The albums were released in 1994, then were re-released by Gala Records in 1997.

“Press the Gas” and “Collective Farm Punk” were also published in 1991 and 1993 - already on CDs and the same cassettes. In 1991, at his concert in Moscow, Yuri met Olga Samarina, whom he subsequently met in the last years of his life, without hiding this from his wife Galina.

The popularity of the Gaza Strip group grew very quickly. It is known that Vladimir Zhirinovsky was delighted with the songs of the Gaza Strip, and the apolitical Khoy “reciprocated” the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, but for money. Yura did not have his own political preferences, sending all politics “...to hell. With a gimlet!

Political system he was quite pleased because he had the opportunity to earn good money from his talent. “It makes no difference to us who we play for; we are far from politics. If Zhirinovsky pays, we play for Zhirinovsky; if another faction pays, we’ll play for them,” said Yuri Khoy. However, Hoy believed that if he had to get stuck as a loader, then, of course, he would be dissatisfied with the government.

Everyone says: everything is very good in the West.
Whoever says this to me like that, I will crush you into powder!
Everything that is Soviet is good - cars and pants,
Everything may be expensive, but it’s all ours, boys.

As their popularity grew, Khoy’s songs became de facto folk music, the music of demobilization workers, vocational school students, students and rural youth. Zhlobrokgroup - this is how the Gaza Strip was often ironically called - a group that Hoy himself compared to porn, and which was not accepted by either rock or pop music. Even Yuri Nikulin liked the group’s work. After Yuri Khoy played a concert at the Nikulin Circus, famous artist invited young man to my dressing room. Amid words of admiration and gratitude, Nikulin took out a bottle of cognac and invited Khoy to talk. The artist himself was so flattered by these compliments that he often told his friends and relatives about this incident.

Yuri Khoy's songs amazed listeners with their frankness. He opened the deepest hiding places with surgical precision human soul, which were not talked about in the USSR. His work aroused either deep interest or protest from the audience. The artistry of the group leader and only live performances were the opposite of the concerts of performers performing to a soundtrack. Yuri Khoy also caused a stir off stage: for example, during one of his last concerts in Voronezh, he rode around the city on a horse, portraying Koshchei the Immortal. Regarding his image, Yuri Khoy had a very interesting position– he tried to talk less about the group, believing that the absence complete information creates more excitement in the listener.

It is known that Yuri wanted to play in a concert with the groups DDT or Alisa, but he was not invited, and he did not ask for it. In 1994, he recorded the punk opera “Kashchei the Immortal,” which was a thrash mixture of Russian fairy tales and music in the spirit of AC/DC, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Ace Of Base. It was planned to create a video for this “fairy tale,” but Yuri’s death prevented this. He managed to film only a few scenes, and now there are working video versions of the tracks on the Internet: “Aria of Ivan and the Frogs,” “Second Aria of Ivan” and “Third Aria of Ivan.”

Hoy shot a video for the song “Fog” - with a black and white chronicle of Russian wars. In total, “Gaza Strip” released 4 videos. The fifth video for the song “Fright Night” was not completed due to the singer’s death.

Since 1996, Yuri Khoy changed the style of the group several times, many of the texts became more serious and were cleared of obscenities. The result of these experiments was the album “Gas Attack”, which later became the most commercially successful in the history of the group. In 1999, Yuri Klinskikh became a character in the comic book “The Adventures of Yura Khoy in the Kingdom of Evil.” The comic consisted of fabulous adventures, the hero of which was the leader of the Gaza Strip himself, collecting his albums. The author of the comic was artist Dmitry Samborsky.

In the late 1990s, Sektor Gaza released a number of techno remixes featuring Voronezh DJ Krot. In the last years of his life, Yuri decided to change his image and sound. Instead of a biker jacket, torn jeans, old T-shirts and army boots, expensive black shoes, dark trousers and a shirt appeared in his wardrobe. Instead of the rollicking “collective farm” punk, listeners were offered the “cool heavy stuff” of the latest album. “I always strived for a heavy sound,” said Yuri Khoy.

By the end of the 1990s, friends began to suspect he had a severe drug addiction. In addition, as friends believed, his companion Olga was a drug addict. “I’ve tried almost every drug, but I’m not used to anything and I’m not going to get used to it. I tried it and that’s enough,” said Yuri Khoy.

In 2000, Yuri was full of the most rosy plans. For three years he hatched the concept of a new album, which was originally supposed to be called “Poor Yurik”. In 1998, Yuri changed the name to “Hellraiser”, deciding to make a completely mystical rap album, which Yuri completed in June 2000. But I never saw its release.

On July 4, the shooting was scheduled for 16:00, Khoy himself and his girlfriend Olga Samarina were supposed to take part in it. Before filming, they had to visit the make-up artist at the Theater for Young Spectators. In the morning, Yuri felt unwell, he was pale, his forehead was covered with sweat, he could not understand what was happening to him, but after taking an aspirin tablet, he decided to go anyway.

At 11:30, Yuri Khoy and Olga Samarina left their rented apartment on Dorozhnaya Street, in the South-Western district. By car they went to the make-up artist, a meeting with whom was scheduled for 12:00. At 11:40 on the road, Yuri felt worse and worse and decided to change the route. He turned onto Barnaulskaya Street, where his acquaintance Andrei Ksenz lived in the private sector. Hoy came into his house and immediately lay down on the sofa, unable to stand on his feet. He was tormented by severe pain in his left side and stomach. Olga was nearby. Soon she went into another room for cigarettes, and there she heard a crash - Yuri fell to the floor, losing consciousness.

Olga and the owner of the house unsuccessfully tried to bring Khoy back to life, giving him artificial respiration. They tried to call an ambulance, however, they flatly refused to write down the address with a dubious reputation as a drug den. On the fifth try, Samarina still managed to convey the address. She ran out into the street to meet the ambulance. At this time, Yuri died.

Later, in official medical documents it was written: “Sudden death.” As for not official version, then there were many of them. All we can say for sure is that Yuri was killed by his lifestyle, crazy tours, working hard - in the last 10 years at concerts, Hoy always gave his best and never looked after his health. The consequences could not but affect stormy youth: “Since I was 23, I don’t remember being sober for a day,” this is how Hoy described his youth.

I'm a very modest guy
I'm a very quiet guy.
In general, when I'm sober, I'm a pure standard.
But often I go wild, but often I go wild,
As soon as the chatter stops, I'll drop off the balloon.

He began to monitor his health only at the most Lately when it was already late. In addition, during a tour of the Far East in the fall of 1999, Yuri fell ill with hepatitis C.

Yuri Khoy, who adored heavy sound and heavy rap, speed, simple words and mystical horrors, “made” even his death look like an unassuming “horror film”. The sum of the numbers of its date was 13, his last album - “Hellraiser” - contained 13 songs, was the 13th album, released in the 13th year of the existence of “SG”, and two memorial days - 9 and 40 - fell on the 13th.

Yuri Khoy was buried at the Left Bank cemetery in Voronezh.

In memory of Yuri Klinskikh, a documentary television program was created, shown on October 20, 2000 on the RTR television channel as part of the “Tower” project. And in June 2002, the Gas Attack Sector group released their debut album, which she dedicated to the memory of Yuri.

In 2004, the book “Gaza Strip through the eyes of loved ones” was published.” The book contained memories of Yuri Klinsky’s loved ones, articles, interviews, little known facts from the life of the Gaza Strip group and its leader, memories of fans, poems dedicated to Yuri Klinskikh. In 2005, the recording studio “Gala Records” released a tribute album to the group “Gaza Strip”, which included such groups and performers as “NAIV”, “Bricks”, Sergey Kagadeev (“NOM”), “Mongol Shuudan”, “ Bakhyt-Kompot”, Igor Kushchev (ex-“Gaza Strip”) and other groups. On June 30, 2006, on the DTV channel in the TV show “How the Idols Left,” a story about the work of Yuri Klinsky was aired.

On October 5, 2008, a short film was dedicated to the memory of Yuri Klinskikh, shown on the NTV channel in the TV show “The Main Hero”.

On December 6, 2012, a concert dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the Gaza Strip group was held in St. Petersburg. On July 26, 2014, in the city of Samara, in the rock bar “Podval”, a concert was held entitled “I’m 50!”, dedicated to the fiftieth anniversary of the leader of the legendary “Gaza Strip” Yuri Klinskikh, with the participation of Samara groups and performers.

Biography

Childhood

Creation

A large layer of Yuri Klinsky’s creativity is devoted to acute social problems of the times of perestroika, the “dashing 90s”, as well as the theme of the afterlife and mysticism. In his songs, he tried to take into account events in public and personal life, people’s actions, everyday situations, while using profanity in the texts of some compositions.

His work aroused either deep interest or protest from the audience. It is believed that thanks to perestroika, the highly social songs of the Gaza Strip, replete with obscene language, were able to reach the hearts of the people, and Khoy thus gained popularity among the public, yearning for taboo topics. But still, Khoy, contrary to the popular stereotype, tried not to overuse profanity. Obscene expressions and jargon in his songs convey the character and peculiarities of the characters’ speech.

The work of the “Gas Sector” was often called pseudo-folklore ditties or a folklore parody of established musical genres. Hoy used elements of clearly folk origin in his songs. In 1997, Artemy Troitsky, in a conversation with Khoy and Nadezhda Babkina, called sector creativity "extreme informal folk music", and Hoy agrees with this definition of his works.

For my creative career big money Klinskikh never made money due to the prosperity of “piracy”, which affected the number of licensed discs sold, amounting to approximately 1% of the total number. However, the group and its leader became very famous in Russia and the CIS. Despite the fact that the group's later lyrics were more restrained, most fans and representatives music industry“Gaza Strip” was associated with obscene language and obscene songs.
During his creative career, Yuri toured many cities in Russia and abroad (Belarus, Germany, Israel, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Ukraine, Estonia).

Death

In one of the songs he also sang: “The Gas sector - you won’t live to be forty here”, and by coincidence, he did not live to see his 36th birthday by 23 days. The song “Bite of the Vampire” also contains words describing his own death, which later became prophetic:

According to Olga Samarina, Yura really had a burning sensation in his chest right before his death - “blood runs like boiling water through the veins”, “everything is burning with fire”.

The funeral took place on July 6, 2000 in Voronezh. The farewell took place at the Luch cultural center, where, despite heavy rain, many Voronezh residents came to say goodbye to Yuri. A funeral service was held in the Assumption Church. Then the body of Yuri Klinskikh was interred at the Levoberezhny cemetery (cemetery “on the tanks”, south-eastern part, section 7a).

Family and personal life

Father - Nikolai Mitrofanovich, worked as an engineer before retirement, died on August 23, 2005, was buried not far from his son.

In 1991, at his concert in Moscow, he met Olga Samarina, whom he later met in the last years of his life, without hiding this from his wife Galina. According to close people, it was Olga who got Yuri addicted to drug use.

At one of the concerts, he was awarded a diploma “For the Development of National Culture” by the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia.

• Even Yuri Nikulin liked the group’s creativity. After Yuri (Khoy) Klinskikh played a concert at the Nikulin Circus, the famous artist invited the young man to his dressing room. Amid words of admiration and gratitude, Nikulin took out a bottle of cognac and invited Khoy to talk. The artist himself was so flattered by these compliments that he often told his friends and relatives about this incident.

Yuri Nikolaevich Klinskikh (Khoy)(July 27, Voronezh - July 4, Voronezh) - Soviet and Russian musician, poet, composer, founder and leader of the Gaza Strip group.

Biography

Childhood

Yuri Klinskikh was born in Voronezh into the family of Nikolai Mitrofanovich, an engineer at the Voronezh Aviation Plant, and Maria Kuzminichna Klinskikh. At school, Yuri did poorly, mostly getting bad grades, but he had an irresistible passion for music. A passion for poetry was instilled in him by his father, who wrote poetry and tried to publish. Yura learned early about the existence of Western rock culture, since rock and roll was often heard in the Klinsky family. Soon after, he decided to teach himself the guitar. Dad's lessons were not in vain, so Yura began to compose poems, which later formed his first songs.

Youth and early career

Klinsky served in the Far East in tank forces. Demobilized in 1984. After serving in the army, Yuri worked for three years as a traffic police inspector and one year in private security, then as a milling machine operator, a CNC machine operator at the Voronezh Videophone, a loader, and wrote songs in his spare time. He perceived his creativity as a hobby, without even dreaming of a big stage. After the opening of a rock club in Voronezh, he became a regular. In the spring of 1987, a concert took place at the club, at which Yuri performed several songs own composition. For two years he performed solo or with guest musicians. The first composition of the group, called the Gas Sector, met on December 5, 1987 and subsequently changed frequently. The group received its name thanks to the nickname of a part of the Left Bank district of Voronezh, known for its tense environmental situation and crime situation. As for the pseudonym, it came from Yuri’s signature cry: “Hoy!”, which he often uttered during his performances.

Yuri Klinskikh at a concert in 1996

At first, Sektor Gaza performed as an opening act for groups that came to Voronezh, such as “Zvuki Mu” and “Children”. Due to the abundance of profanity in the lyrics, the Gas Sector remained underground for a long time. In those years, Yuri Klinskikh worked first at a consumer electronics factory, then as a loader; music didn't bring in any income. The group did not give concerts outside of Voronezh; the Gas Sector records were distributed throughout the country through the efforts of fans.

Heyday

The group gained universal fame only in 1990 after the release of the albums “The Evil Dead” and “Yadrena Vosh”, which Yura sent to Moscow with the help of his friend. In 1991, Sektor Gaza received the opportunity to record an album in Moscow at the Mir studio; soon the group’s recordings were published by one of the first commercial record companies"Gala Records", after which the group's popularity increased significantly and it was able to legally give concerts. The albums were officially released in Voronezh at the Black Box studio, and the Moscow studio Gala Records published them in 1994 and re-released them in 1997. The albums “Collective Farm Punk” and “Press the Gas” were released in 1991 and 1993, respectively, on LP, CD and cassette.

In June 1994, Yuri recorded the punk opera “Kashchei the Immortal” as a new album. Later, Yuri wanted to create a video version of this album, but his death prevented this. He managed to film only a few scenes, and now there are video versions of the tracks on the Internet: “Aria of Ivan and the Frogs,” “Second Aria of Ivan” and “Third Aria of Ivan.”

Klinskikh did not earn much money due to the prosperity of “piracy”, which affected the number of licensed discs sold, amounting to approximately 1% of the total. However, the group and its leader became very famous in Russia and the CIS. Despite the fact that the group's later lyrics were more restrained, most fans and representatives of the music industry associated the Gaza Strip with obscene language and obscene songs. During their creative activity, the group toured many cities in Russia and abroad.

Death

On July 4, 2000 at 11 a.m. in Voronezh, Yuri died. On this day he was going to go to the shooting of the video clip “Fright Night”. There are many rumors about Yuri's death: according to the official version, he died of a heart attack, although he had never had any heart problems before. According to the unofficial version, Yuri took drugs and suffered from hepatitis, which was the cause of death. To this day, the true circumstances of his death remain a mystery. The last studio work of the Gas Sector group was the album “Hellraiser”, released after the death of Yuri Klinskikh.

Yuri's death was preceded by strange circumstances. So, at his last concert, he tried to perform the song “Demobilization” with a soundtrack, but failed to do this and simply left the stage. During the recording of the last album “Hellraiser”, the group’s sound engineer Andrei Deltsov recommended including this song in the next album (it allegedly did not suit the style), but Yuri convinced the sound engineer not to do this, for fear of not living to see the next album. In one of the songs, he also sang: “The gas sector - you won’t live to see forty here,” and by coincidence, he did not live to see his 36th birthday for 23 days.

Personal life

• Contrary to his image as a loner rebel, Yuri “Khoy” Klinskikh was married and had two daughters, Irina (born 1986) and Lilya (born 1995).
• In 1991, at his concert, Yuri met Olga Samarina, whom he later met, not hiding this from his wife Galina in the last years of his life. According to close people, it was Olga who got Yuri addicted to drug use.

• In 1999, Yura Khoy became a character in the comic book “The Adventures of Yura Khoy in the Kingdom of Evil.” The comic consists of fairy-tale adventures, the hero of which is the leader of the Gaza Strip, collecting his albums. The author of the comic is artist Dmitry Samborsky.
• Klinskikh was never a member of any party. Despite this, the Gas Sector group performed for some time at LDPR propaganda concerts. Yuri commented on this as follows:

So, let's go back almost 13(!) years ago. Here it is, an approximate reconstruction of events last days Yuri Klinskikh, so to speak, according to the official version, is based largely on the memories of Olga Samarina (let’s believe for a moment that she is telling the truth and only the truth), the time in some cases is calculated. Quotes from the book "HOY! Epitaph of a rock-gouger" and "GAZA SECTOR: through the eyes of loved ones" are in italics.

July 02, 2000, Sunday. Yuri Khoy and Olga Samarina came to Voronezh from Moscow. In the evening, at the request of his wife Galina, Yuri takes his family to Usman.

July 03, 2000, Monday. In the evening, Khoy visits his stepbrother Anatoly ( “It was already getting dark, and he came to see me”), then to Igor Kushchev (absent at home), to Vadim Glukhov ( “On the eve of his death, he came to my house in the evening - they were renting an apartment in a neighboring house”), rides on hometown. He comes home and watches the entire video recording of his concert, although somehow he didn’t like to watch his recordings and go to bed.

July 04, 2000, Tuesday. The day promises to be hot, Yuri Khoy has a busy schedule planned: today the shooting of the video for the new album for the song “Night of Fear” should be completed at the Art-prize studio, and further work on the video should be discussed with cameraman Oleg Zolotarev. The shooting is scheduled for 16:00, Hoy himself and his girlfriend Olga Samarina are taking part in the shooting; before filming, they need to visit the make-up artist at the Theater of the Young Spectator. In the morning, Yuri feels unwell, he is pale, his forehead is covered with sweat, he cannot understand what is wrong with him: "blood runs like boiling water through the veins", but after taking an aspirin tablet, he decides to go anyway.

11:30 Yuri Khoy and Olga Samarina leave a rented apartment on Dorozhnaya Street, in the South-Western district, on the Right Bank. In a white Nexia car they head to the make-up artist, whose meeting is scheduled for 12:00, the beginning of the first one.

11:40 On the road, Yuri feels worse and worse, very pale, “I’m like a dead man, I don’t even need makeup”. And he decides to change the route halfway, turns onto Barnaulskaya Street, where an acquaintance of his named Andrei Ksenz lives in the private sector.

11:50 Hoy enters the house and immediately lies down on the sofa, unable to stand on his feet, he is tormented by severe pain in his left side and stomach, "everything is burning with fire". Olga is nearby, apparently believing that this is an attack that will soon pass.

11:55 Samarina goes into another room for cigarettes, and suddenly hears a crash - Yuri falls to the floor and loses consciousness.

12:00 Olga and the owner of the house unsuccessfully try to bring Khoy back to life by performing artificial respiration. They try to call an ambulance, however, they flatly refuse to write down the address with a dubious reputation as a drug den; Samarina still manages to hand over the address on the fifth try. Olga runs out into the street to meet the ambulance so that they "don't get lost in the houses". At this time Yuri "suffocating, his face is burgundy... And as he lay there, he died...".

12:35 Arriving doctors confirm the death of Yuri Klinskikh. By chance, the ambulance doctor turns out to be an acquaintance of Galina Klinskikh, Khoy’s wife.

13:20 A criminal investigation team arrived at the scene and is drawing up a report on the discovery of the corpse. The police are conducting operational filming of the scene of the incident.

Record from the police report:

What's wrong with the official version:

We take the book "HOY! Epitaph of a rock-gouger" and read on page 118 “...they got into the car and drove off... And he said, a friend of mine lives here, let’s go see him...”

Then we look at the map and ask the question “Where was Hoy when he said that?” And did he even say this? Is it possible to believe what Olga says after this?

Route notes:
Point A - rented apartment from where Hoy moved out (starting point)
Point B - Theater of Young Spectators (destination)
Point C - Barnaulskaya street (place of death)

Good afternoon! I’m like a local in a nutshell: Barnaulskaya Street is located on the left bank of Voronezh, in an area called “Peschanovka”. Many people believe that the area is called "Mashmet", but it is located further away. Of course, there is no way to get here “on the way” from Dorozhnaya Street to the Youth Theater, since the Youth Theater is located approximately in the middle between Dorozhnaya and Barnaulskaya. You counted everything correctly.
Now about the main thing: in the house on Barnaulskaya there is a “cookhouse” known throughout the district, or according to protocol a “drug den”. The owner of the house has a share of the “poison” from the visitors who come to him, for the “kitchen” provided. His name is Andrey Ksenz. He is still alive and lives at the same address. Of course, the cops confiscated all the certificates and evidence of death. The event itself took everyone by surprise, both friends and family, except those who were next to him at that moment. That's why everyone looked confused. Nobody knew what would happen next. All these people were together for only one reason - Yura, and after his death they had nothing in common. Only sharing. The cops gave instructions to talk about cardiac arrest. And so everyone came up with their own ideas for this. It was impossible to declare to the whole country that an artist known throughout the country had “fucked off.” Imagine what would happen to the head of the local police department! Hence the discrepancy in the readings. Moreover, every cop in the city knew Yura, and no one would want everyone to know how and where everything happened.
Regarding the drugs, it is believed that Olya turned him on. Yes and no. He had smoked weed before, and he also knew first-hand what poppy was. She introduced him to other, harder drugs. Here in Voronezh, it’s a whole epidemic! The gypsies, protected by the cops, filled everything with their “poisons”. 50% of the generation of the 90s are now in their graves. Something like that!
