Andrey Vadimovich Makarevich PAR (Template:Lang-ru; born 11 December 1953 in Moscow, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union) is a Soviet and Russian rock musician and the founder of Russia's oldest still active rock band Mashina Vremeni (Time Machine).

Personal life

Makarevich was born in Moscow to mixed heritage parents of Belarusian (royal peasantry),[1] Polish aristocracy (from the Sas family), Greek[2] and Jewish[3] origin. He was graduated from the Moscow Architectural Institute as a graphic artist.

He was born to a mother of Jewish origin, tuberculosis specialist, microbiologist Nina Markovna Makarevich (née Shmuylovich, 1926–1989) and a father of Belarusian origin, architect and teacher of the Moscow Architectural Institute Vadim Grigorievich Makarevich (1924–1996).

Until 2011, he was a supporter of the Presidents Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev, believing that at that time there was no alternative to them, and that many problems were caused not by the authorities, but by society itself.[4][5] And only from 2011 he opposed the re-election of Putin for a third term in the absence of real elections.[5]

He immigrated to Israel in 2022, where he had a son from an Israeli-Ukrainian wife in his fourth marriage.[6]

Career

As a youth, Makarevich was a big fan of English rock band The Beatles. In 1969, he founded Mashina Vremeni, a rock band largely inspired by western rock and blues of the time. He is the band's singer and guitarist. While their music is written by all the members, Makarevich is the band's exclusive lyrics writer. Mashina Vremeni had a big influence into development of rock music in USSR.

Makarevich also released eight solo albums, participated in regular TV shows and assisted other groups and artists. He authored several poetry collections and two volumes of memoirs. Makarevich is also interested in painting. He accompanied Mikhail Gorbachev on his solo album in 2009.[7]

Makarevich performed for Ukraine's internally displaced people during the war in Donbass in the Ukrainian town Svyatogorsk in August 2014.[8] Deputy of the State Duma Yevgeny Alexeyevich Fyodorov vowed to strip Makarevich of all Russian state honors, describing his performance in Svyatogorsk as "collaborating with the fascists".[8][9] Later that month, NTV aired a documentary titled 13 Friends of the Junta in which Makarevich was described as a "traitor" and supporter of fascists. The Moscow Times reported that footage of his concert "was merged with images of the fighting that he supposedly endorsed. The program never mentions that the concert was for the benefit of Ukraine's internally displaced children."[10]

In July 2015, Makarevich together with Ukrainian band Haydamaky and Polish singer Maciej Maleńczuk presented a new song, Only love will keep you alive (Тільки любов залишить тебе живим). The lyrics of the song are written in three languages – Russian, Ukrainian and Polish.[11][12]

In 2014 Makarevich received the Dr. Rainer Hildebrandt Human Rights Award endowed by Alexandra Hildebrandt. The award is given annually in recognition of extraordinary, non-violent commitment to human rights. He supported the 2020–2021 Belarusian protests[13] and criticized 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[14]
