Ukrainian musician, vocalist, composer and leader of the group &#;Vopli Vidopliassova&#; Oleg Skrypka was born on May 24, in Khojenty (Tajikistan).
Oleg’s Mother &#; Anna Aleksievna &#; comes from a small village in the Kurshina, and his father Yuri Pavlovich &#; from a farm in Poltava region. Father graduated from the Kiev Medical Institute, where he received a specialty of a radiologist, specialist in radiation sickness. Pre-diploma practice was held in the mining town of Bryanka. There he met Oleg‘s Mother, who, having arrived from Russia, worked as a tutor in kindergarten. They got married. When my father got a diploma, I went to Hodgent.
In the kindergarten and in the home circle the small Skrypka was the number one artist on all the holidays. Oleg&#;s mother was professionally engaged in the upbringing of her son and laid a good creative foundation; singing, dancing, reading poetry from 4 years old. Also, the program of education included home duties &#; cleaning, garbage and even Sunday morning, when parents fell asleep after a labor week, an independent boy running with a poor man in a store for milk and buns &#; In Hodzhenta family lived for seven years, and the Eastern civilization was reflected later in his work and perception of the world. Because Tajikistan is a bright exotic &#; Islam, women in paranjah, oriental architecture, luxury bazaars, where grenades, grapes, gigantic watermelons and fragrant melons are sold &#;
The family lived on the outskirts of the city, then the desert began, and after it the top of the Pamirs was visible. In April, the mountains were covered with poppies, tulips and became red like carpets. The first music Oleg heard is the national music of the Middle East.
From time to time, &#; remembers Oleg, &#; the city was shuddered by earthquakes. As soon as the windows began to vibrate, we were quickly taken away from the building by us, children, from the gardens and schools. The climate in Tajikistan is incredibly hot. In the summer, the shadows can reach forty-five degrees. In the end, the parents decided to move. We went to the Extreme North, where we settled in the center of the Kola Peninsula &#; the city of Kirov in the Murmansk region. Therefore, the second part of Oleg&#;s childhood is associated with snow from October to June and short polar summer for a period of one and a half months. The small Skrypka mastered hockey, skates, racing and mountain skiers. Coming from school, Oleg in the yard with the boys built underground cities and fortresses from the snowstorms.
Deep in memory of Oleg croaked bright pictures of the northern childhood: &#;Sometimes, returning home in the evening, just freezing in sacred trembling. Above my head is poured in all the colors of the rainbow North light! To describe this fantastic sight, words are not enough. I will only say that all these 3D, 4D or I-Max do not go with him in any comparison. Looking at him, you feel like a pygmy and you start to believe in aliens. &#;
At school, Oleg received only highest marks. Especially easy was given to him exact sciences &#; physics, mathematics. He won school competitions and regional Olympiads. However, the behavior often received unsatisfactory behavior. From the second grade, Oleg went to the music school, and later learned to live up to rock and roll on the accordeon.
In the ninth grade, Oleg entered the correspondence school of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and graduated with honors. It was believed that this is a guarantee of admission to a prestigious university of the USSR. After graduating went to join the MFTI. Despite a huge competition, he received a pass mark. But such as he, from &#;Perefferry&#; was too much, and Oleg &#;cut&#; on an additional interview. He was angry, but not upset. And realized the &#;plan B&#;, immediately went to Kiev and entered the KPI to the Radio Engineering Faculty. The high score of a school certificate allowed only two examinations. For the first math exam, Skrypka received five, which meant automatic enrollment. It turned out that there were only two such entrants.
In the educational process, Oleg rushed furiously. At the same time he played in the rock band, attended a theatrical studio and a student theater.
In the hostel on the Metalist street among the youth formed a &#;commune&#; of like-minded aesthetes, who were fond of music, theater, gastronomy. They formed a joint budget, cooked delicious dishes, arranged dinners with full service and non-alcoholic birthdays. And then they opened a disco in the hostel, where they not only danced, but also held theme nights.
One evening in , when Oleg sat in a hostel and wrote a diploma, Oleksandr Pippa and Yuri Zdorenko came to him. Thus the group &#;Vopli Vidoplyasova&#; was formed.
In , after graduating from the KPI, Oleg did not get to the Severivorsk division &#; a closed town of military sailors. Skrypka rescued from this exclusively by his skill. He went to the personnel department of the Kyiv NGO &#;Kvant&#;, declaring that he was dreaming to work there.
Soon the dean came an application, and Oleg was sent to the &#;military box&#; of &#;Quantum&#;. Thus Oleg stayed in Kiev, became an engineer with a salary of rubles, and got a room in the hostel five minutes from work.
At work, the boy was engaged in the development of GPS systems for the navy of the USSR and simultaneously wrote music and texts. For three years he wrote a bunch of songs.
