28 years ago, on September 3, 1990, the famous Soviet singer, musician and composer Yevgeny Martynov passed away. His songs "Swan Fidelity" and "Apple Trees in Bloom" were known throughout the country. The sudden death of the 42-year-old singer was a great shock to all of his fans. His body was found in the entrance of his own house. The official cause of death was called acute heart failure, but Martynov's relatives still do not believe that this was actually the case.
Evgeny Martynov was born in 1948. There were no professional musicians in his family, but everyone loved music. His father taught him to play the accordion, songs were always played in their house. And after graduating from the music school, Eugene entered the conservatory. In 1972 Martynov moved to Moscow, and when Maya Kristalinskaya sang his song to Yesenin's poems "Birch", his first popularity came to him. The singer advised the young author to perform the songs himself and recommended getting a job at Rosconcert.
Since 1973 Martynov worked as a soloist-vocalist at Rosconcert, and also held the position of music editor at Molodaya Gvardiya and Pravda. In 1984 he was admitted to the Union of Composers of the USSR, and in the 1980s. he becomes one of the most popular pop singers and composers in the USSR. The best songwriters - Ilya Reznik, Alla Dementieva, Robert Rozhdestvensky and others - collaborated with him.
Martynov's songs "Ballad of Mother", "Swan Faithfulness", "White Lilac", "Apple Trees in Bloom", "Father's House" became real hits. His compositions were performed by Sofia Rotaru, Joseph Kobzon, Anna German, Alexander Serov, Tamara Miansarova, Eduard Khil and others. He himself soon became a popular pop performer, whose unique timbre conquered thousands of fans. He was called the velvet voice of Russia and the last romantic of the USSR.
Martynov's last hit was "Maryina Roshcha", which he performed on "Song of the Year 1990". And on September 3, 1990, a tragedy struck, in which no one could believe for a long time. The body of the 42-year-old musician was found in the entrance of his house. The neighbors did not immediately call an ambulance, believing that the man had drunk too much. According to other information, the ambulance arrived only 40 minutes after the call. Be that as it may, medical assistance arrived too late - doctors pronounced death from acute heart failure.
Many did not believe that a young healthy man could suddenly die, and looked for other reasons for his premature death. The singer's brother Yuri said: "".
The amount of the unpaid fee was very large at that time - about 10 thousand rubles. And Martynov had to sue the organizers. And after his death, the case was immediately closed. This fact gave rise to some fans of the musician to put forward a version of his murder. However, no traces of violent death were found on his body.
Other versions were also put forward. In addition to these troubles, there were other events due to which the composer was constantly in a state of stress. After perestroika, his popularity fell sharply, the stage began to live according to the laws of show business, and in this new system Martynov was unclaimed, therefore he constantly felt great emotional overload, which could really lead to heart problems, even if it had never bothered him before.
Another version of Martynov's death is death by negligence. A large amount of ammonia was found in his mouth. In order to bring a person to his senses, a moistened cotton wool is enough. And he, most likely, was not just given a sniff, but literally poured into him. This could provoke swelling of the mucous membrane, after which he died. However, this fact has not been investigated, and acute heart failure is still considered the official cause of death.
