White Guard (group). White Guard (Group) White Guard Ensemble

The year of birth of the group can be considered 1993, when Zoya Yashchenko recorded her first solo album with the same name "White Guard". At the same time, the first solo concerts in Moscow took place in the concert halls of the Olympic Village, the MPEI Palace of Culture, the Meridian Palace of Culture, the Polytechnic Museum and the Central House of Artists.

Zoya graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University. The lyrics of her songs are deep and poetic. She has a soft and beautiful voice. Her melodies are remembered almost immediately, from the first listening. The combination of voice, lyrics and music creates a product too unconventional to give a precise definition of style. The band's musicians themselves say that they play in the style of Sentimental rock (sentimental rock).
The work of Zoya Yashchenko and The White Guard is very literary and dramatic, and it seems that many lines are whispered by the heroes of Cortazar, Remarque, Böll, Lermontov, with whom the guys drink coffee together in coffee houses, loiter along the night streets of St. Petersburg and Paris. Their songs are especially close to student souls, travelers, loners, young philosophers, those who fly in their dreams and watch sunsets on the roofs of skyscrapers. Simple and at the same time unusually elegant and subtle music of the "White Guard" rarely leaves anyone indifferent. Because the main quality of such music is penetration. These are songs that can touch the most subtle strings of the soul, they make you think, feel, worry, cry and laugh, see the beauty of big and small things.

For the first time, the White Guard appeared on the TV screen in the Anthropology program with Dmitry Dibrov, who accidentally heard Zoya's song on the Ekho Moskvy radio in the cabin of his car. After this television broadcast, the group was invited on tour to Germany and France.
Somehow, the creators of the television series "Beauty Salon" listened to Zoya's songs, and invited her to sing the song "Dandelion" in the episode. And another Zoya composition in the first series of the film was sung by actress Olga Kabo.

Four texts of the "White Guard" are quoted in his "Patrols" by the popular Russian science fiction writer Sergei Lukyanenko, who was once advised by one of his friends to listen to the songs of the group, sending a link to the "White Guard" site.

In July 2005, "The Song of the Private" from the album "Doll in the Pocket" gets into the program "Artistic Council" on "Our Radio". According to the results of the month, the song wins by a wide margin from its competitors and gets on the air of Our Radio.

At this point, 10 author's albums have already been recorded. Today "White Guard" is guitarist Dmitry Baulin, sound producer of the group, author of arrangements and music for new songs. This is a virtuoso flutist Pavel Erokhin, who plays the saxophone no less virtuoso in some compositions. Not so long ago, a "own" violinist Pavel Filchenko appeared in the group (before him, session musicians played the violin in the "White Guard"). They are percussionist Alexei Baulin and bass player Konstantin Reutov. And, of course, Zoya, who sings, sometimes plays acoustic guitar or Nepalese kartals.

In 2005, the guys recorded the ninth and tenth albums “Doll in the Pocket” and “Peter” one after another, and since December 2006 the “White Guard” song “Peter” has been regularly heard on the waves of the Russian Songs radio.

2006 Zoina's book "25 songs and 5 stories" and the documentary "I'll fly" about the work of the group are published.

2008 A collection of the group's video clips is released on DVD. All clips were filmed on a non-professional camera by Zoya and Dima.

In April 2009, the group again tours Germany and France. In the same 2009, two albums of the group were released at once: in May - the album "Clockwork Cricket", and in November - the album "Key from the Ashes".

In 2011, the album "Tales of Maeterlinck" with 12 songs was released.

An excerpt characterizing the White Guard (group)

Maya's plump lips twitched, and the first large tear appeared on her cheek... I knew that if this wasn't stopped right away, there would be a lot of tears... But in our current "generalized" state, it was absolutely impossible to allow this...
"But you're alive, aren't you?" Therefore, whether you like it or not, you have to live. I think that mom and dad would be very happy if they knew that everything is fine with you. After all, they loved you very much ... - as cheerfully as I could, I said.
- How did you know that? The little girl looked at me in surprise.
“Well, they did a very hard thing to save you. Therefore, I think, only by loving someone very much and cherishing this, you can do this ...
– Where are we going now? Are we going with you? .. - Maya asked, looking at me with her huge gray eyes inquiringly and imploringly.
“Arno would like to take you with him. What do you think of it? It is not sweet for him either ... And he will have to get used to many more in order to survive. So help each other ... So, I think it will be very correct.
Stella finally came to her senses, and immediately "rushed to the attack":
“And how did this monster get you, Arno?” Do you remember anything...
– No... I only remember the light. And then a very bright meadow flooded with the sun... But it was no longer the Earth - it was something wonderful and completely transparent... This does not happen on Earth. But then everything disappeared, and I "woke up" here and now.
– What if I try to “look” through you? Suddenly a wild thought came into my head.
- How - through me? Arno was surprised.
- Oh, that's right! Stella immediately exclaimed. How did I not think of it myself?
“Well, sometimes, as you can see, something comes to my mind…” I laughed. “It’s not always up to you to invent!
I tried to “turn on” in his thoughts - nothing happened ... I tried to “remember” with him the moment when he “left” ...
- Oh, what a horror! Stella squeaked. “Look, this is when they captured him!!!
My breath stopped... The picture we saw was really not a pleasant one! This was the moment when Arno had just died, and his essence began to rise up the blue channel. And right behind him... to the same channel, three absolutely nightmarish creatures crept up!.. Two of them were probably lower astral earthly entities, but the third one clearly seemed somehow different, very scary and alien, obviously not earthly... And all these creatures were very purposefully chasing a person, apparently trying to get him for some reason ... And he, poor thing, not even suspecting that he was being hunted so “cutely”, soared in a silver-blue, bright silence, enjoying an unusually deep , unearthly peace, and, greedily absorbing this peace, rested his soul, forgetting for a moment the wild, heart-destroying earthly pain, "thanks" to which he ended up today in this transparent, unfamiliar world ...
At the end of the channel, already at the very entrance to the "floor", two monsters darted with lightning speed after Arno into the same channel and unexpectedly merged into one, and then this "one" quickly flowed into the main, most vile, which was probably the most powerful of them. And he attacked ... Or rather, he suddenly became completely flat, "spread" almost to a transparent haze, and "enveloping" the unsuspecting Arno, completely swaddled his essence, depriving him of his former "I" and in general any "presence" ... And then, laughing terribly, he immediately dragged the already captured essence of poor Arno (who had just matured the beauty of the approaching upper "floor") straight into the lower astral ....
“I don’t understand…” Stella whispered. – How did they capture him, does he seem so strong?.. Well, let's see what happened even earlier?
We again tried to look through the memory of our new acquaintance... And then we realized why he was such an easy target to capture...
In clothing and surroundings, it looked as if it had happened about a hundred years ago. He stood in the middle of a huge room, where two female bodies lay completely naked on the floor ... Or rather, they were a woman and a girl who could be fifteen years old at most. Both bodies were terribly beaten, and apparently brutally raped before death. Poor Arno "had no face" ... He stood like a dead man, not moving, and perhaps not even understanding where he was at that moment, since the shock was too cruel. If we understood correctly, these were his wife and daughter, who were abused by someone in a very brutal way ... Although, it would be wrong to say “atrociously”, because no animal will do what it is sometimes capable of Human...
Suddenly, Arno screamed like a wounded animal and fell to the ground, next to the terribly mutilated body of his wife (?) ... In him, as during a storm, emotions raged in wild whirlwinds - anger replaced hopelessness, rage covered melancholy, then growing into inhuman pain, from which there was no escape ... He rolled on the floor screaming, finding no way out for his grief ... until finally, to our horror, he completely calmed down, no longer moving ...
And of course - having opened such a stormy emotional "flurry", and having died with it, at that moment he became an ideal "target" for capture by any, even the weakest "black" creatures, not to mention those who later so stubbornly pursued behind him, to use his powerful energy body as a simple energy "suit" ... to do after, with his help, his terrible, "black" deeds...
“I don’t want to watch this anymore ...” Stella said in a whisper. “I don’t want to see horror anymore… Is that human?” Well tell me!!! Is this right?! We are people!!!
Stella began to have a real hysteria, which was so unexpected that in the first second I was completely at a loss, not finding what to say. Stella was very indignant and even a little angry, which, in this situation, was probably completely acceptable and understandable. For others. But it was so, again, unlike her, that I only now finally realized how painfully and deeply all this endless earthly Evil had hurt her kind, affectionate heart, and how tired she must have been to constantly bear all this human dirt and cruelty on my fragile, still quite childish shoulders.... I really wanted to hug this sweet, persistent and so sad little man now! But I knew it would upset her even more. And therefore, trying to stay calm, so as not to touch even deeper her already too “disheveled” feelings, I tried, as best I could, to calm her down.

Notes

An excerpt characterizing the White Guard (group)

Natasha raised her head, and kissing her friend on the lips, pressed her wet face to her.
“I can't say, I don't know. No one is to blame, - said Natasha, - I am to blame. But it all hurts terribly. Oh, that he is not going! ...
She went out to dinner with red eyes. Marya Dmitrievna, who knew how the prince received the Rostovs, pretended that she did not notice Natasha's upset face and firmly and loudly joked at the table with the count and other guests.

That evening the Rostovs went to the opera, for which Marya Dmitrievna got a ticket.
Natasha did not want to go, but it was impossible to refuse Marya Dmitrievna's kindness, which was intended exclusively for her. When she, dressed, went out into the hall, waiting for her father and looking in a large mirror, she saw that she was good, very good, she became even more sad; but sad sweet and loving.
“My God, if he were here; then I would not be like before, with some kind of stupid timidity in front of something, but in a new way, I would simply hug him, snuggle up to him, make him look at me with those searching, curious eyes with which he so often looked at me and then would make him laugh, as he laughed then, and his eyes - how I see those eyes! thought Natasha. - And what do I care about his father and sister: I love him alone, him, him, with this face and eyes, with his smile, masculine and childish at the same time ... No, it’s better not to think about him, not think, forget, completely forget for this time. I can’t bear this waiting, I’m about to sob,” and she moved away from the mirror, making an effort not to cry. “And how can Sonya love Nikolinka so evenly, so calmly, and wait so long and patiently!” she thought, looking at Sonya, also dressed, who came in, with a fan in her hands.
“No, she is completely different. I can't"!
Natasha felt at that moment so softened and tender that it was not enough for her to love and know that she was loved: she needed now, now she needed to hug her beloved and speak and hear from him words of love with which her heart was full. While she was riding in the carriage, sitting next to her father, and gazing thoughtfully at the lights of the lanterns flickering in the frozen window, she felt even more in love and sadder and forgot with whom and where she was going. Having fallen into a line of carriages, the Rostovs' carriage, slowly screeching through the snow, drove up to the theater. Natasha and Sonya hurriedly jumped out, picking up dresses; the count came out, supported by lackeys, and between the ladies and men entering and selling posters, all three went into the corridor of the benoir. The sounds of music could be heard from behind the closed doors.
- Nathalie, vos cheveux, [Natalie, your hair,] - whispered Sonya. The chaplain politely and hurriedly slipped in front of the ladies and opened the door of the box. The music became louder heard at the door, the illuminated rows of boxes with the bare shoulders and arms of the ladies, and the parterre noisy and shiny with uniforms, flashed. The lady, entering the neighboring bin, looked around Natasha with a feminine, envious look. The curtain had not yet risen and the overture was being played. Natasha, straightening her dress, walked along with Sonya and sat down, looking around the illuminated rows of opposite boxes. She had not experienced for a long time the feeling that hundreds of eyes were looking at her bare arms and neck, suddenly and pleasantly and unpleasantly seized her, causing a whole swarm of memories, desires and worries corresponding to this sensation.
Two remarkably pretty girls, Natasha and Sonya, with Count Ilya Andreich, who had not been seen in Moscow for a long time, attracted everyone's attention. In addition, everyone knew vaguely about Natasha's conspiracy with Prince Andrei, knew that since then the Rostovs had lived in the village, and looked with curiosity at the bride of one of the best grooms in Russia.
Natasha grew prettier in the village, as everyone told her, and this evening, thanks to her agitated state, she was especially good. She struck with the fullness of life and beauty, combined with indifference to everything around. Her black eyes looked at the crowd, looking for no one, and a thin, bare arm above the elbow, leaning on a velvet ramp, obviously unconsciously, in time with the overture, clenched and unclenched, crumpling the poster.
“Look, here is Alenina,” Sonya said, “it seems with her mother!”
- Fathers! Mikhail Kirilych has grown even fatter,” said the old count.
– Look! Anna Mikhailovna is our current!
- The Karagins, Julie and Boris are with them. Now you can see the bride and groom. - Drubetskoy made an offer!
- How, now I found out, - said Shinshin, who was a member of the Rostovs' box.
Natasha looked in the direction in which her father was looking, and saw Julie, who, with pearls on her thick red neck (Natasha knew, sprinkled with powder), was sitting with a happy look, next to her mother.
Behind them with a smile, tilted ear to Julie's mouth, one could see the smoothly combed, beautiful head of Boris. He looked frowningly at the Rostovs and smilingly said something to his bride.
“They are talking about us, about me and him!” thought Natasha. “And he truly calms the jealousy of his bride for me: they worry in vain! If only they knew how I don't care about any of them."
At the back sat Anna Mikhailovna, dressed in a green robe, with a devoted to the will of God and a happy, festive face. In their box there was that atmosphere - the bride and groom, whom Natasha knew and loved so much. She turned away and suddenly everything that was humiliating in her morning visit came to her mind.
“What right does he have to not want to accept me into his kinship? Oh, better not think about it, not think about it until he arrives!” she said to herself and began to look at the familiar and unfamiliar faces in the stalls. In front of the stalls, in the very middle, leaning back against the ramp, stood Dolokhov with a huge shock of curly hair combed up, in a Persian costume. He stood in the very sight of the theatre, knowing that he drew the attention of the whole hall to himself, as freely as if he were standing in his room. The most brilliant youth of Moscow crowded around him, and he apparently excelled among them.
Count Ilya Andreich, laughing, nudged the blushing Sonya, pointing out to her former admirer.
- Did you know? - he asked. “And where did he come from,” the count turned to Shinshin, “because he disappeared somewhere?”

The White Guard is a band that is instrumentalized poetry playing in the style of " Senti mental rock". The etymology of this phrase is as follows: mental means mental, sentimental means sensual. And ROCK can be understood in different ways: either as a direction in music, or as fate, destined, inevitable. Sentimental rock is a narrow path between logic and feeling , an attempt to unite the feminine and masculine, yin and yang ...

The work of the White Guard is very literary and dramatic, and it seems that many lines are whispered by the heroes of Cortazar, Remarque, Böll, Lermontov, with whom the guys drink coffee together in coffee houses, loiter along the night streets of St. Petersburg and Paris. Their songs are especially close to student souls, vagabonds, loners, young philosophers, those who fly in their dreams and watch sunsets on the roofs of skyscrapers...

The group was founded in 1991 and for a long time was an author's duet: the founder of the group is the permanent leader of the White Guard, the author of poetry and music, and Oleg Zalivako- the male part of the ideological core of the group, as well as the author of his own poems and music.

In 1993 The White Guard releases their first album, and in the summer the guys go to the annual festival named after. Valeria Grushina and, speaking there already as a trio (for lead guitar sat down Yuri Soshin) become laureates. From that moment, in fact, the big thorny creative path of the group began.

In 1994 albums are released one after another and. The sounds of a flute, keyboards, bass guitar appeared in the music, elements that are so uncharacteristic for a bard song. Nevertheless, this gave Zoya Yashchenko's poems the necessary colors, grace and originality.

In 1999 Zoya invites to the group guitarist And keyboard player Dmitry Baulin, who later becomes the sound producer of the White Guard. She is recording an album with him.

Then Zoya and Dima recruit a team, the composition of which turns out to be the most suitable for performing Zoya's songs - two guitars, bass, flute, violin, percussion. At the same time, the overall sound of the group is qualitatively transformed.

year 2000. Album coming out . - a collection of the best songs in a new acoustic sound. The group takes part in the Anthropology program on NTV.

Late 2001 - early 2002. Recording two albums at once . . The latter is a "reincarnation" of itself, which in the original version was a very traditional six-string romance. But due to changes in musical preferences, as well as studio conditions, the White Guard decided to play and sing old songs in a new way. At the same time, the textbook title of the first album, which was called like that, remained untouched and, together with the album, was "archived". The new old album is called . . The album also includes some old songs that were not included in any of the albums.

At the moment, Zoya Yashchenko and the "White Guard" have 15 albums. and came out almost at the same time, in 2005 with an interval of 5 months. And, probably, they could well become one double album. But they didn't. Although they were recorded in the same musical key, they still differ greatly in subject matter.

In 2009 The White Guard releases two albums at once and.

Zoya Yashchenko and the White Guard regularly perform in Moscow at such venues as the Central House of Artists, the Polytechnic Museum, the bard cafe "Capercaillie's Nest", etc. The group goes on tour to the cities of St. Petersburg, Izhevsk, Samara, Ivanovo, Perm, Voronezh , Furmanov, Tver, Novokuznetsk, etc.
