Remember how former Vice-Governor Albin came up with a fairy tale about cormorants pecking away at the roof of the stadium? This official nonsense was replaced by another topic. Now there's a seagull on the throne! This bird has seized power and is doing all kinds of shit. Already gnawed at everything that was left after the Cormorant. We need a deterrent system! Yes, it is at the stadium. He's screaming at the top of his lungs. An audio track simulating gunshots and bird calls should protect the stadium from seagulls pecking at the roof lining. But then the play takes a turn that...

The neighbors, who had not seen Vlad for several days, raised the alarm and called the police. There were no signs of a break-in in the house, but there was a mess: broken dishes, scattered clothes, traces of blood. According to the doctors who pronounced death, the deceased had been dead for at least 12 hours. During examination, several large hematomas were found on his body. In the next room was the musician’s wife Elena. The woman was intoxicated, so they did not interrogate her, but sent her to the hospital. According to neighbors, the couple abused alcohol, writes www.newsru.com.
For the last couple of years, Vladen Yasen and his wife lived in Thailand, where they were engaged in the tourism business and real estate.
Vlad Yasen - singer, composer, accordion player. Full name: Vladlen Savosin. Born on November 28, 1968 in the city of Klin, Moscow region. Vladlen received his primary musical education at the Klin music school. In 1984, he entered the Tver Music School to study music theory. In 1992, Vladlen Savosin joined the accompanying cast of the famous chansonnier Mikhail Krug - the group “The Fellow Traveler”.
Savosin became the artistic director of “The Fellow Traveler”, and also played the button accordion and many other instruments - wind instruments, keyboards. The musicians of “The Fellow Traveler” also accompanied Alexander Dyumin, Slava Bobkov, Alexander Kuznetsov and other singers in the studio and at concerts, but when Mikhail Krug was overtaken by popular love, the group focused on working with the Tver performer. She gave up to twenty-five concerts a month and took part in the preparation of all six chansonnier numbered albums recorded at the Liga studio.
Vlad Yasen’s first concert with the group “Fellow Traveler” took place in 1992 at the Tver restaurant “Old Castle”
After the tragic death of chansonnier Vlad Yasen and the rest of the “Fellow Traveler” members, they were in a daze for several months and had no idea what to do next. However, then the musicians decided to continue working: their repertoire included both Krug’s songs and works of different moods written by members of the group, as well as cover versions. Alone, “The Fellow Traveler” released six numbered albums. Hits - “Daughter”, “Live in peace”, “Birthday”, “On the road”, “General”.
The singer, composer, accordion player, as well as the leader of Mikhail Krug’s group “The Fellow Traveler” Vladlen Savosin (Vlad Yasen) has passed away. Everlasting memory! Vlad Yasen Singer, composer, accordion player. Full name Vladlen Savosin. Born on November 28, 1968 in the city of Klin, Moscow region. Childhood and adolescence Vladlen began to receive his musical education at the Klin music school. In 1984, Vlad entered the Tver Music College to study music theory. As a result, he settled in Tver, which was then still called Kalinin. From there, the musician went into the army, and when he returned, he began working in local restaurants as an accordion player. Creativity There singer Mikhail Vorobyov heard him, whom everyone later recognized as Mikhail Krug. In 1992, Vladlen Savosin joined the Circle’s accompanying group, the “Fellow Traveler” group (in fact, Savosin, together with keyboard player Vladimir Ovcharov, organized it). Great popularity was still ahead, and then Mikhail was just starting to release discs and tour little by little. Savosin became the artistic director of “The Fellow Traveler”, and also played the button accordion and many other instruments - winds, keyboards, etc. The musicians of “The Fellow Traveler” also accompanied Alexander Dyumin, Slava Bobkov, Alexander Kuznetsov and other chansonniers in the studio and at concerts, but when Mikhail Krug was overtaken by nationwide love, the group focused on working with the Tver performer. She gave up to twenty-five concerts a month and took part in the preparation of all six chansonnier numbered albums recorded at the Liga studio. Krug highly valued his musicians, believing that along with his songs and voice, instrumental accompaniment played an important role in the sound. Mikhail did not like to fly on airplanes, as his blood pressure rose at altitude: together with “The Fellow Traveler” he traveled a lot by train - and on the trips they did not drink, as you might think, but “played” board games. Krug was the best at playing dominoes and chess, and also practiced playing charades. There were creative disputes in the team: Mikhail listened to the opinions of all the musicians, but made the final decision himself. Krug, according to Savosin’s recollections, was a strict but fair boss. So, one day he sent Vlad on unpaid leave because he violated the “prohibition law” established in the team. It looked like a dismissal, but a month later Mikhail returned the accordion player to the group and even invited him to perform one or two of his songs at concerts. (It was then that Savosin’s artistic pseudonym, Vlad Yasen, became known. ) Mikhail developed creativity in his other musicians. In particular, in the early 2000s, Krug invited the group to record a solo album without his participation and publish it under the label “Mikhail Krug Presents...” The musicians began to slowly prepare their own songs for this project, but the album was released after Krug’s death. After the tragic death of chansonnier Vlad Yasen and the rest of the “Fellow Traveler” members, they were in a daze for several months and had no idea what to do next. However, then the musicians decided to continue working: their repertoire included both Krug’s songs and works of different moods written by members of the group, as well as cover versions. They defined their style as lyrical chanson and became quite popular at holidays and custom events. Alone, “The Fellow Traveler” released six numbered albums, although the composition of the team has undergone some changes over the years. For example, violinist Alexei Dulkevich, who had played with the Zhemchuzhny Brothers, began working with the group. According to Yasen, they had to part with many musicians, since their love for chanson was based on the substantial fees they received under the Circle. And when the time came to moderate their financial appetites, not everyone was happy with it. Most of the songs in “The Fellow Traveler” are written to poems by Alexander Belolebedinsky, who also composed for the legendary chansonnier. In 2004, Vlad Yasen released his first solo album. The disc, entitled “On the Road,” includes both his songs and compositions by his friends. In 2007, it was announced that work had begun on a second album, which “would not disappoint the listener,” but the disc has not yet appeared. The artist continues to write songs and performs both solo and as part of various locally famous projects - VIA “Reanimators” and others. Personal life The artist does not talk about his personal life, although Mikhail Krug said that “Vlad has two hobbies - family and accordion " Did you know that... - In addition to music, Vlad Yasen is involved in social work in the Tver region; - Vlad does not consider his music chanson, preferring, like Mikhail Krug, to call it a Russian genre; - Vlad Yasen’s first concert with the group “Fellow Traveler” took place in 1992 in the Tver restaurant “Old Castle”; - “The Fellow Traveler” always tested new songs in public, paying attention to the reaction of the audience. Works that did not impress the audience were mercilessly removed from the program; - At “The Fellow Traveler” concerts, the viewer, sitting in the sixth row in ninth place, often received Tver balsam as a gift from the group (69 is the vehicle code of the Tver region). Hits “Daughter”, “Live in Peace”, “Birthday”, “On the Road”, “General”.
"reported the news of the death of singer and musician 49-year-old Vladlen Yasen-Lazo. His body was discovered in the house that he rented for two years with his wife Elena in Bang Tao on the island of Phuket.
Vladlen Yasen-Lazo was found on January 26 lying on the floor by his bed with a broken head. Clothes and dishes were scattered on the floor.
Thai police are inclined to believe that the cause of the tragedy was an accident - he slipped on a piece of crockery and hit the ledge of furniture hard. But, as always in such cases, all possible options will be worked out.
Indeed, the circumstances of the death of our compatriot are very mysterious. No traces of a struggle were found, and in the back room the law enforcement officers found the sleeping wife of the deceased. According to the local press, the situation indicated a protracted party in honor of some holiday.
From chanson to Thailand
Vladlen Yasen-Lazo was not an ordinary Russian tourist who took a fancy to the sunny Phuket coast. He, one can rightfully say, stood at the origins of Russian chanson, as we know this genre today. The fact is that in the 90s the deceased played together with the legendary Mikhail Krug in the group “Fellow Traveler” from the day of its foundation. More precisely, he is considered its founder. Vladlen made a significant contribution to the creation of the ensemble’s style and the creativity of the Circle itself.
The tragic death of the great Chansonnier in the summer of 2002 knocked the group members out of their usual routine for a long time and forced them to make enormous efforts to continue their creative activity, some began performing on their own. So, Yasen-Lazo recorded his own solo album in 2004. But his creative nature demanded new discoveries and impressions.
Vladlen loved to travel, he especially liked South America, and he even wanted to move there, but he returned, friends of the deceased told KP. - But in the end I still chose Thailand. He settled well there, organized a real estate company - rented cottages from locals and rented them out to Russian tourists. He did not forget music, led a busy life, traveled. In Russia he had a daughter from his first marriage, with whom he maintained good relations.
However, a tragic incident intervened in a seemingly stable and almost heavenly life.
The ashes will be laid to rest in their homeland
In Russia, Vladlen Yasen-Lazo’s relatives learned about the misfortune like everyone else - from the media. Of course, this news came as a shock, especially since there is scant, fragmentary information coming from Thailand. The daughter of the deceased contacted the consulate and is now preparing the necessary documents. According to available information, the body will be cremated, and the ashes will be delivered by plane to Russia so that relatives can organize burial in their homeland.
