Military career

After graduation, Spring Sergei is sent to Ryazan, where he holds the post of political officer in the 137th airborne regiment. In 1985 happened, fateful familiarity of Spring with a 350-metre parachute regiment, which was stationed in Afghanistan. This is what military unit was involved in almost all operations carried out on Afghan territory. Between 1985 and 1987 Spring Sergei (whose activity was not confined to the landing forces), participated in almost all the regimental operations. In addition, the hero of this article performed the duties of Secretary of the Komsomol.

Meeting with “Blue Berets” and the beginning of creativity

When Sergey Yarovoy arrived at the famous 350-th regiment, on its basis has already been created by some Amateur groups. Its first founder was Oleg Messengers. Spring joined this team, and, as it is now to recall the witnesses of those events are the first part of “Blue Berets” performed their songs in the storeroom, two guitars, in between military operations.

Fatal dispute regarding Spring instrument

The local band was the song that they wrote one of their founders-Oleg Messengers. But one of the main problems was the lack of professional equipment. At the same time, representatives of the Belarusian Komsomol gave the Soviet fighters such a welcome instrument, but nominally gift belonged to the artillery regiment. Because Marines are very much like also to play on this instrument, Spring Sergey invited the companions to conclude with the gunners kind of a bet: those who have time during the week to prepare a full concert, and will have full right to own musical instruments. And, of course, in this dispute was won by the paratroopers.

The First success and national glory

As a result of the dispute in November 1985 the first concert of the legendary band. In his initial lineup consisted of:

• O Messengers – warrant officer;
• S. Isakov – squad leader;
• T Lysov – soldier;
• S. Spring – captain, Secretary of the Komsomol;
• I. Ivanchenko – the driver of the combat vehicle.

During the first performance, the guys rehash the hits of the then-known performers, and a little later they got their own original songs. Basically, they, of course, all belonged to the Afghan subject, as this question was for the Soviet Union is very painful in those years, the guys became very popular very quickly. Across Afghanistan from the hands began to pass cassette tapes of their songs.

Tour the likelihood of the collapse group

In the period from 1985 to 1987 “Blue Berets” appeared before a huge number of parts, based on the Afghan territory. And everywhere, without exception, they were received with great joy and warmth, what they sang, it was close to all serving in this place.

It is worth noting that the band members not only sang and acted. Would be correct to say that their original tour was held exclusively during the breaks between combat operations. For such a selfless work of all the participants of the first part of this Amateur group was awarded the state awards.

Still, national, all-Union fame team brought them victory in the popular competition called "When soldiers sing”. The concert was broadcast on the First Central channel and the guys sang the song of Kabul, thanks to the teleconference. The Soviet Union was a sensation, and victory “Blue Berets”was really a triumph.

Organization of the Spring of the second part

In 1987, the band has recorded their first CD, which went platinum, the team made several trips to Moscow and gave their concerts at the most prestigious at that time concert venues. But in 1988 the further fate of “Blue berets” was under threat. Their ideological leader – Yarovoy, Sergey, gets a new assignment. The other members of the group also nearing the end of life. From just the first part of the “Blue Berets” to remain in Afghanistan wanted only about the Messengers.

When the band, loved by hundreds of thousands of Soviet listeners, is under direct threat of collapse, in the political Department of the airborne troops understand that this is not acceptable. The decision on the fact that geographically, the ensemble will now be based in one of the Suburban parts of the airborne forces. Spring receives an indication to select a new composition. He immediately remembers his classmate – Yuri Slatova, which in due time he served in Afghanistan, was engaged in Amateur performance and sang songs. He invites the friend in their new lineup, and “Blue Berets” begins a new era. Gradually formed the second group, in which in addition to Spring and Slatova, entered not professional musicians, and the usual military:

• Dmitry Platonov – senior warrant officer;
• D Vahrushin – warrant officer;
• E. Heart – senior warrant officer.

Their success was simply stunning. They performed at a huge number of festivals with their concerts traveled almost the entire Soviet Union. In the history of “Blue Berets” there are tours on terrible hot spots. They were in front of soldiers in Kabul, Kosovo, Bosnia, Chechnya, South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

The Team took part in the filming of many TV shows, and many Soviet citizens knew the words to their songs by heart. It may seem that the band would have become millionaires, but the conclusion, alas, is fundamentally wrong. The entire history of its existence, the group was non-profit. All the money collected for their concerts, went to the local organization of soldiers-internationalists.

Today Sergey Yarovoy won several awards, thus he lives together with his faithful wife simple, not marred by a huge material wealth, life.
