Buinov, Alexander Nikolaevich

Born on March 24, 1950 in a military camp at the airfield, now within the borders of Moscow ^{[4] [5]} .

Father - Buinov ^{[K 1]} Nikolai Aleksandrovich (1911), from the family of the “ dispossessed ” blacksmith Alexander Buinov, the owner of one of the two forge in the town of Efremov in the Tula region forge, was a pilot and master of sports in skiing and parachuting, in shooting and football, in classical and freestyle wrestling.

A military pilot, later a war hero, retired from the army as a major. On the lapel of his jacket always wore only one order - the Battle Red Banner. After the war, he graduated from the Institute of Physical Culture and began to teach physical education and military affairs in schools and institutes. One year I had the opportunity to study under his command, and I saw: the guys literally idolized him. All the exercises - on the uneven bars, on the rings, on the horizontal bar - the father showed personally, even when he was already well past 50. The crown number is a stand on one hand. And this is despite the fact that at the front he received a serious shrapnel wound to the arm (by the way, the fragments were never removed - the doctors said that they should not be touched).

Mother - Buinova Klavdiya Mikhailovna (1912) (nee Kosova), was a musician, she studied at the conservatory in the class of piano and graduated with honors ^{[5] [7]} . In addition to Alexander, the family had three more brothers - Vladimir, Arkady, Andrew. All received an elementary musical education ^[1] .

As a child, he lived for a long time with relatives in the town of Efremov, Tula Region . In the 1950s, the family settled in a communal apartment in Moscow, on Bolshoy Tishinsky Pereulok, before Alexander turned 8, and from 5 years went to a music school ^[1] .

Important for Buinova was a meeting back in school with Alexander Gradsky . He made his debut as a keyboard player in the group created by the City " Buffoons ", where he declared himself as a composer . He left the group in connection with the departure of the army . He served in the missile forces in the city of Aleisk, Altai Territory . After being transferred to the reserve he played in the Araks group, in the ensemble “ Flowers ”.

From 1973 to May 1989 - the keyboard player of the “ Merry guys ” ensemble, in which for 16 years of work he gained all-union popularity. As a member of the ensemble, he recorded many popular songs, took part in the festival of pop music "Yerevan 1981", in the international competition "Bratislava Lira" (1985) (Grand Prix).

He participated in the recording of the ensemble “Jolly Fellows”: “Love is a huge country”, “We need to be friends”, “Musical Globe”, “Disco Club-2”, “Wait a minute !!!”, magnetic albums “Banana Islands”, “Pink Roses” ".

On June 28, 2005, he signed the “Letter in support of the verdict to the former leaders of the YUKOS” ^[11] . In February 2011, he stated that he was ashamed of this act ^[12] .

For me, Khodorkovsky was - like some unknown Ivanov-Petrov-Sidorov - an outsider. I was far from the economic situation, and from the political. Consider that "fools live in the world." In this case, it was me.
