The woman could not feed them all, and only two survived. One of them is Yuri Julian Skatenovich.

Yuri was born in the year, and two years later, the daughter of Natasha was born to the spouses. The family of Yuri Shevchuk: his parents, brother and sister in the first years of Yuri's life were brought up by Tatar grandparents, carefully retaining their roots and traditions. Therefore, Yura spoke at first in Tatar, and only then in Russian. Yuri Shevchuk on the right with Santa Akram as soon as the opportunity appeared, the Ukrainian-Tatar family moved to the Caucasus, to Nalchik, then to Ufa.
The head of the family was promoted in public service, headed the department in the Ministry of Trade of the Bashkir Autonomous Republic.

Youth moved to Bashkiria took place when Yura was thirteen years old, on the initiative of the mother, who dreamed of returning to the Urals.
Shevchuki lived in the center of Ufa, on Lenin Street. In adolescence, Yuri actively developed his artistic talent, transmitted from his mother, visiting the artillery studio of the house of pioneers. In parallel, he independently mastered the guitar, then Bayan, after he became a participant in the school ensemble "Vector". However, the first success was achieved not in music, but in drawing - Shevchuk’s paintings often took prizes at competitions.
However, while Yuri was prophesied by a career as a professional artist, he and his friends worked as a loader at a confectionery factory to buy new jeans with his own money. In his youth, Yuri Shevchuk, from school times, stuck the nickname “Explanator” for the fact that he always told the truth and was distinguished by free thought. What was only a T -shirt with a crucifix drawn by him and the inscription "Jesus was a hippie." Studying at the university, Yuri, along with classmates, traveled to nearby villages to earn on the design of cowsheds and pig farm.

He taught children drawing and played in parallel in the groups "Kaleidoscope" and "Free Wind" at school evenings and club events. The Kaleidoscope group of throwing between music and painting continued for some more time, and Shevchuk explained their completion as follows: Rock and Roll won, I was fascinated by this quick, momentary work. You can write a wonderful song overnight and sing it to friends, and writing a good portrait overnight is unrealistic.
The speed, the storm and the onslaught of the rock and roll won. Having worked out the term set for a young specialist, Yuri returned to Ufa, to his parents.
