Biography, career and creativity
Tamrazov Nikolai Ishuevich (Ishuvich). Born on January 15, 1939 in Dnepropetrovsk. Assyrian by nationality. He began his career in the middle of the last century. In 1957 he graduated from the choreographic school in the class of ballet. Then he studied at the Kharkov Institute of Arts. Since 1956 he has been a ballet dancer at the Dnepropetrovsk Drama Theater. Shevchenko, was also involved in dramatic roles. Since 1961 he has been a pop artist of the Ukrconcert, an entertainer. In 1975 he moved to the Moskontsert. In 1977-1982. Nikolai Tamrazov was the artistic director of the Creative Workshop of Satire and Humor of the Moskontsert and the head of the pop course at GUTSEI. For many years he conducted concerts of Vladimir Vysotsky, traveled with him half the country.
In an interview with the "Interlocutor" edition, Tamrazov talks about V. Vysotsky's last concert:
- At that time, Moscow lived in anticipation of the Olympics. Art workers prepared a cultural program. At that time, I was in charge of the creative workshop of satire and humor of the Moskontsert. All the satirists in Moscow were under my command. Every day we were shaken by regional committees, city committees, departments of culture, they made hemorrhoids. Vysotsky in those days toured in Kaliningrad. From there his administrator Vladimir Goldman called me and said that Vladimir Semyonovich was not feeling very well. Complains of throat. I even talked about filming concerts. And in the evening he said: "Call Tamrazochka, let him come." And already reaching for the phone, he added: "No, he can't … Olympics …" "But I still decided to call you," the administrator continued. "Perhaps Vysotsky has a need to see you." My friend's health worried me. And leaving everything to hell, I went to Kaliningrad …
Since 1991, Tamrazov began to work at Radio Mayak, and later at Echo of Moscow, where at various times he was the host of the programs "Radiomolodushka", "Moscow Choir", "For a Glass of Tea", "Warm Greetings", "Beaumont "," Womanizer "(up to the present time, radio" Echo of Moscow "). It is interesting that the Echo collective often calls Nikolai Tamrazov a womanizer. In 1999-2003. was a co-host of the "Detective Show" program, where he was a secretary. He was a co-host of the "Steps" program on the "Bibigon" TV channel. In 1998, he performed under the pseudonym Kolya Paralepiped (precisely with a mistake in the word "parallelepiped"): first, the collection "Soyuz-22" included his parody processing of Kai Metov's song "You Can't Do It", and then a whole album of musical parodies was released, named as “Put it in - you can't take it out !!! People's superhit ". The album was announced as the album of a young singer, a native of the Belgorod region. Around 2010. In the program "Womanizer" (on radio "Ekho Moskvy") I regularly received calls from prankers, who spoke obscenely on the air and asked Tamrazov provocative questions. As a result, by the decision of the editor-in-chief Alexei Venediktov, the phone in the "Womanizer" program was turned off.
It is curious that Nikolai Ishuvich has never been on vacation. Ballet dancer, drama artist, entertainer, director, radio host - whoever Tamrazov worked, he never allowed himself too much in every sense of the word. In 1995 he wrote a book, which he called "Gallery", from where some of the facts of this characterization are taken.

And now he lives with his second wife - Nina Volzhina, an actress of the Mosconcert. There they also met her. Together they raised his youngest daughter from his first marriage and Ninya's son Sergei.
