This section is an unordered list of miscellaneous facts about the subject of the article. Please bring the information into an encyclopedic form and distribute it to the appropriate sections of the article. According to the decision of the Wikipedia Arbitration Committee, lists are preferably based on secondary summaries containing criteria for including items in the list. On the morning of the 15th, on the third day after that, an innumerable number of carriages stood at the Sloboda Palace.
The halls were full. In the first there were nobles in uniforms, in the second there were merchants with medals, in beards and blue caftans. There was a rumble and movement in the hall of the Assembly of the Nobility. At one large table, under the portrait of the sovereign, the most important nobles were sitting on high-backed chairs; but most of the nobles walked about the hall.
All the noblemen, the very ones whom Pierre saw every day, sometimes in the club, then in their houses - all were in uniforms, some in Catherine's, some in Pavlovsk, some in the new Aleksandrovsk, some in the general nobility, and this general character of the uniform gave something strange and fantastic to these old and young, the most diverse and familiar faces. Particularly striking were the elderly, half-blind, toothless, bald, swollen with yellow grease or wrinkled, thin. For the most part they sat in their places and were silent, and if they walked and talked, they joined someone younger. Just as on the faces of the crowd that Petya saw on the square, all these faces had a striking contrast: a common expectation of something solemn and ordinary, yesterday's - a Boston party, Petrushka's cook, Zinaida Dmitrievna's health, etc.
Pierre, from early morning, strapped in the awkward, narrow noble uniform that had become for him, was in the halls. He was agitated: the extraordinary gathering not only of the nobility, but also of the merchants - estates, etats generaux - evoked in him a number of long-abandoned, but deeply embedded in his soul, thoughts about the Contrat social and the French Revolution. The words he noticed in the appeal that the sovereign would arrive in the capital for a consultation with his people, confirmed him in this view. And he, believing that in this sense something important was approaching, something that he had been waiting for a long time, walked around, looked closely, listened to the dialect, but nowhere did he find the expression of those thoughts that occupied him.
The sovereign's manifesto was read, which aroused delight, and then everyone dispersed, talking. In addition to his usual interests, Pierre heard rumors about where the leaders should stand while the emperor entered, when to give a ball to the emperor, whether to split up by districts or the whole province ... etc .; but as soon as the matter concerned the war and what the nobility had been assembled for, the discussion was indecisive and indefinite. They wanted more and more to listen than to speak.
One middle-aged man, courageous, handsome, in a retired naval uniform, was talking in one of the halls, and they crowded around him. Pierre went up to the formed mug near the talker and began to listen. Count Ilya Andreich in his Catherine's, voivodship's caftan, walking with a pleasant smile between the crowd, familiar with everyone, also approached this group and began to listen with his kind smile, as he always listened, in agreement with those who spoke, nodding his head approvingly. The retired sailor spoke very boldly; this was evident from the expression of the faces who listened to him, and from the fact that Pierre's known for being the most submissive and quiet people disapprovingly departed from him or contradicted him. Pierre pushed his way into the middle of the circle, listened and made sure that the speaker was indeed a liberal, but in a completely different sense than Pierre thought. The sailor spoke in that especially sonorous, melodious, noble baritone, with a pleasant grazing and contraction of consonants, the voice with which they shout: "Cheaek, pipe!", And the like. He spoke with a habit of revelry and power in his voice.
- Well, the residents of Smolensk have offered the militia to the state. Is it a decree for us? If the boarod nobility of the Moscow province finds it necessary, they can show their loyalty to the emperor by other means. Have we forgotten the militia in the seventh year! The hustlers and thieves and robbers have just made a fortune ...
Count Ilya Andreevich, smiling sweetly, nodded his head approvingly.
- And what, did our militias really benefit the state? No! only ruined our farms. Better still a set ... otherwise neither a soldier nor a man will return to you, and only one debauchery. The nobles do not spare their belly, we ourselves will go, we will take another recruit, and all of us just call the cry goose (he used to pronounce the sovereign), we will all die for him, - added the orator, animating.
Ilya Andreevich swallowed his drool with pleasure and pushed Pierre, but Pierre wanted to talk as well. He moved forward, feeling animated, not knowing what yet, and not knowing what he was going to say. He had just opened his mouth to speak, as one senator, completely without teeth, with an intelligent and angry face, who was standing close to the speaker, interrupted Pierre. With an apparent habit of debating and holding questions, he spoke quietly, but audibly:
“I suppose, sir,” the senator said, mumbling with a toothless mouth, “that we are not called here to discuss what is more convenient for the state at the present moment - a recruitment or a militia. We are called to respond to the appeal that the Emperor has honored us with. And to judge which is more convenient - recruitment or militia, we will leave it to the higher authorities to judge ...
Pierre suddenly found an outlet for his animation. He became bitter against the senator, who was introducing this correctness and narrowness of views into the upcoming occupations of the nobility. Pierre stepped forward and stopped him. He himself did not know what he would say, but began briskly, occasionally breaking through in French words and literally speaking in Russian.
“Excuse me, Your Excellency,” he began (Pierre was well acquainted with this senator, but considered it necessary to address him officially here), “although I disagree with Mr. ... (Pierre hesitated. He wanted to say mon tres honorable preopinant), [my esteemed opponent,] - with the lord ... que je n "ai pas L" honneur de connaitre; [which I have no honor to know] but I believe that the estate of the nobility, in addition to expressing their sympathy and enthusiasm, is also called upon to discuss the measures by which we can help the fatherland. I suppose, ”he said, enthusiastic,“ that the sovereign himself would be displeased if he found in us only the owners of the peasants whom we give him, and ... chair a canon [meat for cannons], which we make of ourselves, but would not find in us with ... with ... advice.
Many turned away from the circle, noticing the senator's contemptuous smile and the fact that Pierre was speaking freely; only Ilya Andreevich was pleased with Pierre's speech, as he was pleased with the speech of the sailor, the senator, and in general always with the speech that he was the last to hear.
“I believe that before discussing these issues,” Pierre continued, “we must ask the Emperor, most respectfully ask his Majesty to communicate to us how many troops we have, in what position our troops and armies are, and then ...
But Pierre did not have time to finish these words when they suddenly attacked him from three sides. The strongest attack on him was the Boston player Stepan Stepanovich Apraksin, who was always familiar to him, always well disposed to him. Stepan Stepanovich was in uniform, and, whether from the uniform or from other reasons, Pierre saw before him a completely different person. Stepan Stepanovich, with a sudden senile malice on his face, shouted at Pierre:
- Firstly, I will report to you that we have no right to ask the sovereign about this, and secondly, if the Russian nobility had such a right, the sovereign cannot answer us. Troops are moving in accordance with the movements of the enemy - the troops are decreasing and arriving ...
Another voice of a man of average height, about forty years old, whom Pierre had seen among the gypsies in former times and knew for a bad card player and who, also changed in uniform, moved closer to Pierre, interrupted Apraksin.
- Yes, and this is not the time to reason, - said the voice of this nobleman, - but we need to act: the war in Russia. Our enemy is coming to destroy Russia, to scold the graves of our fathers, to take away wives and children. - The nobleman hit himself in the chest. - We will all get up, all without exception will go, all for the king, father! He shouted, rolling out his bloodshot eyes. Several voices of approval were heard from the crowd. - We are Russians and will not spare our blood to defend the faith, the throne and the fatherland. And nonsense must be abandoned if we are the sons of the fatherland. We will show Europe how Russia is rebelling for Russia, - shouted the nobleman.
Pierre wanted to object, but could not say a word. He felt that the sound of his words, no matter what thought they concluded, was less audible than the sound of the words of the animated nobleman.
Ilya Andreevich approved of the circle from behind; some boldly turned their shoulders to the speaker at the end of the phrase and said:
- That's it, that's it! This is true!
Pierre wanted to say that he was not averse to donations, neither money, nor men, nor himself, but that he needed to know the state of affairs in order to help him, but he could not speak. Many voices shouted and spoke together, so that Ilya Andreevich did not have time to nod to everyone; and the group grew, disintegrated, again converged and moved all, humming with talk, into a large hall, to a large table. Pierre not only failed to speak, but he was rudely interrupted, pushed away, turned away from him as from a common enemy. This was not because they were dissatisfied with the meaning of his speech - it was forgotten after a large number of speeches that followed it - but to animate the crowd it was necessary to have a tangible object of love and a tangible object of hatred. Pierre was the last. Many orators spoke after the lively nobleman, and all spoke in the same tone. Many spoke beautifully and originally.
The publisher of the Russian Bulletin, Glinka, who was recognized (“a writer, a writer! - was heard in the crowd), said that hell should reflect with hell, that he saw a child smiling with a flash of lightning and thunder, but that we would not be this child.
- Yes, yes, with thunder rolls! - repeated approvingly in the back rows.
The crowd approached a large table, at which, in uniforms, in ribbons, gray-haired, bald, were sitting seventy-year-old nobles, old men, whom Pierre had seen almost all of them in their homes with fools and in clubs beyond Boston. The crowd came up to the table, humming incessantly. One after another, and sometimes two together, pressed against the high backs of chairs by an overlapping crowd, spoke the orators. Those who stood behind noticed what the orator who was speaking did not finish, and rushed to say this missing. Others, in this heat and crampedness, fumbled in their heads, if there was any thought, and were in a hurry to speak it. The old nobles familiar to Pierre sat and looked back at one or the other, and the expression of most of them only said that they were very hot. Pierre, however, felt agitated, and the general feeling of wanting to show that we didn’t care, expressed more in the sounds and expressions of faces than in the sense of speeches, was communicated to him too. He did not renounce his thoughts, but felt guilty for something and wanted to justify himself.
“I only said that it would be more convenient for us to make donations when we know what the need is,” he said, trying to shout down other voices.
One nearest old man looked back at him, but was immediately distracted by a shout that began on the other side of the table.
- Yes, Moscow will be commissioned! She will be a redeemer! One shouted.
- He is the enemy of humanity! Shouted another. - Let me speak ... Gentlemen, you are crushing me ... At that time, Count Rostopchin entered with quick steps in front of the crowd of nobles parted, in a general's uniform, with a ribbon over his shoulder, with his chin protruding and quick eyes.
“The Emperor will be here now,” said Rostopchin, “I’ve just come from there. I believe that in the position in which we are, there is nothing to judge. The sovereign deigned to gather us and the merchants, - said Count Rostopchin. “Millions will flow from there (he pointed to the merchants' hall), and our business is to deploy the militia and not spare ourselves… This is the least we can do!
Conferences began between some of the nobles who were sitting at the table. The entire meeting was more than quiet. It even seemed sad when, after all the previous noise, one could hear the old voices one by one, saying: “I agree,” the other, for a change: “I also have the same opinion,” and so on.
The secretary was ordered to write a decree of the Moscow nobility that Muscovites, like the residents of Smolensk, donate ten people from a thousand and full uniforms. The sitting gentlemen got up, as if relieved, rattled their chairs and walked across the hall to stretch their legs, taking someone by the arm and talking.
- Sovereign! Sovereign! - suddenly spread through the halls, and the whole crowd rushed to the exit.
Along a wide path, between the wall of nobles, the emperor walked into the hall. Every face showed respectful and frightened curiosity. Pierre stood quite far away and could not quite hear the emperor's speech. He understood only by the fact that he had heard that the sovereign was talking about the danger in which the state was, and about the hopes that he pinned on the Moscow nobility. The Tsar was answered by another voice, announcing the decree of the nobility that had just taken place.
- Gentlemen! - said the trembling voice of the sovereign; the crowd rustled and fell silent again, and Pierre clearly heard the so pleasantly human and touched voice of the sovereign, who said: “I have never doubted the zeal of the Russian nobility. But on this day it exceeded my expectations. Thank you on behalf of the fatherland. Gentlemen, let's act - time is the most precious thing ...
The sovereign fell silent, the crowd began to crowd around him, and enthusiastic exclamations were heard from all sides.
“Yes, the most precious thing ... is the royal word,” the voice of Ilya Andreich, who had not heard anything, but understood everything in his own way, was sobbing from behind.
From the hall of the nobility, the sovereign went into the hall of the merchants. He stayed there for about ten minutes. Pierre, among others, saw the sovereign leaving the hall of the merchants with tears of affection in his eyes. As they later learned, the sovereign had just begun his speech to the merchants, when tears gushed from his eyes, and he finished it in a trembling voice. When Pierre saw the emperor, he went out, accompanied by two merchants. One was familiar to Pierre, a fat tax farmer, the other a head, with a thin, narrow-bearded, yellow face. They both cried. The thin man had tears, but the fat tax farmer sobbed like a child, and kept repeating:
- Take life and property, your majesty!
Pierre felt nothing at that moment, except the desire to show that he did not care about everything and that he was ready to sacrifice everything. As a reproach, he saw his speech with a constitutional direction; he was looking for an opportunity to make amends. Upon learning that Count Mamonov was donating the regiment, Bezukhov immediately announced to Count Rostopchin that he was giving a thousand people and their maintenance.
Old man Rostov could not tell his wife what happened without tears, and immediately agreed to Petya's request and went to write it down himself.
The Tsar left the next day. All the assembled nobles took off their uniforms, again settled in their houses and clubs and, grunting, gave orders to the governors about the militia, and were surprised at what they had done. Napoleon began a war with Russia because he could not help but come to Dresden, could not help but be overwhelmed by honors, could not help but don a Polish uniform, not succumb to the adventurous impression of a June morning, could not refrain from a flash of anger in the presence of Kurakin and then Balashev.
Alexander refused all negotiations because he personally felt insulted. Barclay de Tolly tried to best manage the army in order to fulfill his duty and earn the glory of a great commander. Rostov galloped off to attack the French because he could not resist the desire to ride across the flat field. And so exactly, due to their personal properties, habits, conditions and goals, all those innumerable persons, participants in this war, acted. They were afraid, conceited, rejoiced, indignant, reasoned, believing that they knew what they were doing and what they were doing for themselves, and all were involuntary instruments of history and did work hidden from them, but understandable for us. This is the unchanging fate of all practical workers, and the more free it is, the higher they stand in the human hierarchy.
Now the figures of 1812 have long since left their places, their personal interests have disappeared without a trace, and only the historical results of that time are before us.
But let us assume that the people of Europe, under the leadership of Napoleon, had to go deep into Russia and die there, and all the self-contradicting, senseless, cruel activity of the people participating in this war becomes understandable for us.
Providence forced all these people, striving to achieve their personal goals, to contribute to the fulfillment of one huge result, about which not a single person (neither Napoleon, nor Alexander, nor even less any of the participants in the war) had the slightest hope.
Now it is clear to us what was the cause of the death of the French army in 1812. No one will argue that the cause of the death of Napoleon's French troops was, on the one hand, their entry at a later time without preparation for a winter campaign into the depths of Russia, and on the other hand, the character that the war took from the burning of Russian cities and inciting hatred of the enemy in the Russian people. But then not only no one foresaw the fact (which now seems obvious) that only in this way the 800,000th army, the best in the world and led by the best commander, could die in a clash with the Russian army, which is twice as weak, inexperienced and led by inexperienced commanders; not only did no one foresee this, but all the efforts on the part of the Russians were constantly striving to prevent that one thing could save Russia, and on the part of the French, in spite of the experience and the so-called military genius of Napoleon, all efforts were directed towards this to stretch out to Moscow at the end of the summer, that is, to do the very thing that was supposed to destroy them.
In historical writings about 1812, French authors are very fond of talking about how Napoleon felt the danger of stretching his line, how he looked for a battle, how his marshals advised him to stop in Smolensk, and give other similar arguments proving that then it was already understood there was the danger of the campaign; and the Russian authors are even more fond of talking about how, from the beginning of the campaign, there was a plan for the Scythian war of luring Napoleon into the depths of Russia, and they attribute this plan to Pful, some to some Frenchman, some to Tol, who to Emperor Alexander himself, pointing to notes, projects and letters that actually contain hints of this course of action. But all these hints of foreseeing what happened, both from the French and the Russians, are now being exhibited only because the event justified them. If the event had not taken place, these hints would have been forgotten, as are now forgotten thousands and millions of opposite hints and assumptions that were in use then, but turned out to be unfair and therefore forgotten. There are always so many assumptions about the outcome of each event that occurs that, no matter what it ends, there will always be people who will say: "I said then that this will be so," opposite.
"I like what I do, and I do what I can ..." - well-known, many Gufa fans, words that, as well as possible, characterize the activities of Alexei Sergeevich Dolmatov (not Dalmatov, as some write), also known under the name Guf (Guf).
The current rap star was born, as he repeatedly mentioned in his songs, in Moscow. This event happened in 1979. 23 September. Guf began to study in Moscow, but after moving with his parents to China, Alexei Dolmatov (Guf) had to continue his studies there. As a result, it turned out that Alexey graduated from 2 universities: Chinese and Russian.
Guf started to get involved in rap from an early age. Guf wrote his first track ("Chinese Wall") when he was 19 years old. At the age of 21, Alexey Dolmatov appeared in the Rolex-X group, which he created together with his classmate Roman, known as Marlin. By the way, the name of the cereal consists of their names.
In 2002 Guf started to create his first album and thanks to the song "Wedding" he began to collaborate with Slim (Slim). In 2004 Guf together with Principle founded the CENTR group (Center). Together they are writing an album called "Gift", which really became a New Year's gift to the closest people.
2006 was a fateful year for Alexei Dolmatov - his song "Gossip" was a huge success among ordinary people (a little later the group "Center" will perform this song at the corporate party of the newspaper "Life", which will be attended by the celebrities mentioned in the song), the company Ren- Tv shot a video for the song "New Year" and, in addition, Guf recorded the future hit "My Game" with Basta. All these events made Guf famous. In April 2007, the album "City of Roads" was released, which brought Guf "incredible popularity. A little later, the album of the group" Tsetr "," Swing ", was released.
On August 6, 2008, Alexey Sergeevich Dolmatov marries Aiza Vagapova, who helped him get rid of drug addiction. A year later, Guf leaves the Center group, while fulfilling all obligations under the contract. Because of this event, the question "Why did the Center collapse?" began to torment many people, but no one gave a clear answer, although some assumptions can be made by listening to the diss (track in which the rapper shows his disrespect to another rapper) Guf "One hundred lines" and Slima's response diss "Spice baby". Although these will only be assumptions and a clear answer to "Why did the Center collapse?" we hardly ever hear.
In 2010. Gufa gave birth to a son who was named Sami. In the same year, Guf won the nomination for the best artist of the year, it happened at the "Russian Street Awards" 2010.
An interesting fact from the life of Alexei Dolmatov:
Besides rap, Guf turned out to be a football fan and a fan of the English football team Liverpool.

A native Muscovite was born on September 23 (Virgo) 1979. From the age of 10 he started listening to rap. Loved artists like 2pac, Nas and Biggie. He dreamed of recording a joint track with Nasir Jones. In the fifth grade, the biography of Guf (Alexei Dolmatov) begins to change. He was in the company that introduced him to drugs. After this, there is a gradual transformation of an obedient child into a burden for the parents.
The beginning of a rap career
In the early 2000s, a friend of Roma appears in the biography of Alexei Dolmatov. Together they form the Rolexx group (short for Roma and Lech). Even when Alexei left the group and began solo work, he used the name of the group as his pseudonym until 2005.
Alexey's first track was released when he was 19 years old, the song was called "Chinese Wall".
Since 2002, Alexey Dolmatov began to write songs more often and worked on his first album. In the same year, begins cooperation with Slim. Their first joint track was named "Wedding".
Group "Center"
Alexey wanted to continue rapping, but realized that he needed help. Together with the rapper Principle in 2004, Alexey creates the "Center" group. The guys are releasing their first album "Gift". At that time, the guys did not think about sales, so they released the album in a small circulation - only 13 discs, which were subsequently presented to friends for the New Year.
At the time of 2006, Guf established himself in the rap community as an experienced drug addict who clearly had a special style of storytelling. Further in the biography of Alexei Dolmatov, rapper Basta is found. They record the track "My Game" and accompany the work with a clip. Then there is work with Smokey Mo on the track "Traffic", which was also accompanied by a clip.
By 2007, the "Center" consisted of three MCs - Guf, Slim and Ptah. Principle had problems with the law long before that, and he dropped out of rap. In April of the same year, the "Center" group presents the album "City of Roads". Guf begins concert activity. In October, "Center" in the new line-up releases the second album "Swing".
Two years later, Guf in one of his interviews declares that he is leaving the "Center" due to disagreements with two other participants. This does not prevent him from engaging in solo work, Guf, inspired by his place of residence - "Zamoskvorechye" - creates the ZM Nation label and in December releases the album "Houses".
In the period from 2009 to 2014, the following solo albums by Alexei Dolmatov are released: "Houses" (2009) and "Sam and ..." (2013). As well as joint releases with Basta "Basta / Guf" (2010) and with Rigos "420" (2014).
After leaving the "Center", Guf uploads the video "One Hundred Lines" on the Internet, where he indirectly mentions Slim and Ptah in a negative way. These lines can be regarded as the fact that the former colleagues are pretty tired of Guf during the time of cooperation.
Slim and Ptakha, in response, shoot a parody video for Guf's most popular song Ice Baby, where they ridicule his behavior. Despite Guf's departure, Center continues to work and the guys are releasing an album.
Group reunion
2014 is becoming a significant year both for the fans of "Center" and for the biography of Alexei Dolmatov. First, the song "Caspian Cargo", on which Guf and Slim appeared. Then a photo on Ptah's Instagram account with the same trinity. The end point, when everyone understood about the group's reunion, was the joint track of Ptah and Guf "Po Nizam".
Later, the group announced the beginning of concerts and performed in full force on Channel One. The members of the group admitted and forgave each other past mistakes, and also realized that they had done stupid things when they broke up the team.
During the concerts, Alexey Dolmatov (Guf) realizes that he has stepped on the same rake as he once did. He cannot get along in the same team with Ptah. The band informs fans of the end of the concerts. The band members also note that the Sistema album will be the last joint creation.
Despite the fact that Alexey Dolmatov (Guf) could not get along with Ptah, they had good relations and mutual understanding with Slim. As a duet, they even release two albums GuSli and GuSli II.
Battle against Ptahi
Ptah, who remained on the sidelines, in October 2017 uploads a three-minute video to the Internet in which he challenges Guf to a Versus battle.
Guf responded harshly with a live broadcast on his Instagram account. In the broadcast, in addition to Ptah, the embittered rapper also touched Pharaoh, T-Fest, Scryptonite and Bastu. The main thought was that he accepted the invitation to the battle. True, on condition that he will be paid 2 million rubles.
The organizer and creator of Versus on the stream, blogger Lech Med, confirmed the information that the battle will take place. He also noted that 1 million will be allocated for Ptah, and 2 million for Guf.
The long-awaited battle is released on February 18, 2018. By the decision of the judges, Guf won with a score of 3-0.
Alias rights
In 2007, the first proposal to sign a contract appeared in the biography of Alexei Dolmatov. In those days, Guf led a riotous lifestyle, any penny was important to him, and he did not read the terms of the contract. It so happened that by signing a contract, he transferred his name with all rights for 10 years. For this he received $ 5,000 and was very happy, because then rap did not bring large fees. After signing a huge pile of papers, the rapper shook off the sweat from his forehead and rushed back to his old life. The realization that he transferred the rights for 10 years came to him later, but it was impossible to return the time back.
After the death of the owner of the company with which Guf signed a contract, all rights passed to his wife. Then this firm was bought out by another person. After that, Guf, for the remaining 9 years, received lawsuits and accusations that he was an impostor and earned on a false name. The organizers of the concerts were in a misunderstanding, because they received calls from the tax and police, they did not fully understand who they were organizing the concert until they met the rapper in person.
The total number of claims was 150. From each concert, the rapper had to pay 150 thousand rubles, if he went for it, now he would be bankrupt. Due to the huge amount of fines, Guf decides to hire lawyers, because it will be cheaper to get out of the situation. In December 2017, the problem was resolved, and now Guf is the owner of his name and everything connected with it.
Stuttering problems
While still a schoolboy, Guf suffered from stuttering and could not answer, standing in front of the class when the teacher called him. Therefore, he submitted all assignments in writing. Even when Guf reads a book aloud, he stutters. The rapper has logoneurosis. As the rapper himself explains, whether or not a stutter appears depends on the internal state. When he is nervous, he cannot articulate his first and last name. The musician also notes that if he drinks coffee in the morning, then stuttering is guaranteed for the rest of the day.
Public shyness
Guf is mortally afraid of communicating with the public. Concerts for him are income. The main thing is to shoot as quickly as possible. When Guf feels a hitch, he runs to the DJ and asks to put on the next track as soon as possible in order to avoid communication with the public. For 15 years of his career, Guf never learned to overcome his fear, his performance looks like reading a verse. However, he tries to work on it.
Guf is surprised by the young artists who, going on stage, win the audience from the very first words and "blow up" the audience with their performance. Guf is already afraid to try on such a role. He thinks that he will not succeed, or it will look ridiculous at his age. He even finds it ridiculous that he raps at 37.
Life in china
Moving to China took place at the age of 11. Prior to that, Alexei lived with his grandmother and was left to himself. After a divorce from Guf's father, the mother was engaged in arranging her personal life. Soon, her stepfather appeared, with whom she spent all the time. Guf thinks that the drug connection was due to a lot of free time and bad company.
Alexey's family went on a business trip to China for 5 years. In order not to waste time, Guf enters the Chinese Institute of Foreign Languages. The rapper started selling drugs and was respected among his acquaintances. Representatives of different countries - Italians, Germans and Koreans - were queuing up to buy him.
Upon learning that Alexei is engaged in the distribution of narcotic substances, the Russian embassy promptly sends Guf back to Russia. Leaving all his belongings, which he acquired in seven years, Guf goes home by luggage charter. It is not known what would have happened to the young rapper if he had been caught by the Chinese authorities, because China provides for the death penalty for drug trafficking. True, only for Chinese citizens, most likely, Guf would also be sent home. Only in this case the Russian court would have been waiting for him.
The first drugs
During his school years, Guf had an Armenian friend, who at that time already had acquaintances with his elders. Once this friend suggested that Alexei smoke marijuana. It was at the age of 12, Guf, without thinking twice, agreed, because he had previously observed peers who had been in this topic for a long time, and wanted to try it himself. For the first time, Guf did not feel the effects of the drug on himself.
The first acquaintance with hard drugs happened at the age of 17. At that time, Guf's permanent place of residence was China, in Russia he came to his grandmother every few years to stay for a month. And on the next such vacation, Guf notices that many young people are sniffing heroin. And Alexei also decides to try. Alexey sniffed heroin the day before leaving for China.
About the sad experience with drugs
In the fall of 2016, the single "About Summer" is released, in which the rapper reads that he has again lost the smooth order of life. He talks about planning a productive life. But due to a creative deadlock, after 4 years of abstinence, he returned to drugs again. I decided to try it once, but in the end it turned out that Guf did not remember how six months had passed. And in August, he himself felt that a little bit more and his life would end in death. It all ended with the fact that he was sent to rehabilitation, where he was injected with soporific substances so that the body would recover and no longer required a new dose.
After that, he returned to Moscow, but again could not restrain himself. Guf understood that this was no longer possible and was already returning with a serious attitude to rehabilitation, which lasted a month and a half. This is not the first time, the rapper was close to death from an overdose in 2012.
Amnesty
The presidential amnesty helped the rapper not stay in Butyrka. After serving seven months, he is released - he was released under a presidential amnesty.
Guf had a suspended sentence for possession of marijuana, it lasted 1 year. Literally five days before the end of the suspended sentence, Guf passed the exam and decided to mark it in a familiar way. I bought a glass of marijuana and went to the train station, then to go to the dacha. But while Aleksey was studying the train schedule, a policeman approached him and began to conduct an inspection. In Guf's purse, he found cigarettes and eye drops. Continuing the search, Guf found a glass of weed in his shorts. Guf resolves the issue with the investigator in such a way that he was promised a second suspended sentence. And now Alexei is asked to come, allegedly to pick up the court's decision on a second suspended sentence. But the investigator changed in the case, and Guf was sent to Butyrka.
Film "Gas holder"
Probably all fans and listeners of Guf know about his role in the film "Gas Holder" (2014). In fact, this is not the rapper's first experience in a movie. In 2006 he worked on the soundtrack for the film "HEAT". In 2009 he had the opportunity to dub one of the heroes of the animated film "9". And also Guf participated as an actor and producer in the film "Egor Shilov" (2017).
Personal life
After Guf met Aiza, the biography and personal life of Alexei Dolmatov is changing for the better. They were a couple for a long time. They got married in 2008. With the support of his girlfriend, Guf tried several times to distance himself from drugs. In 2009, the couple has a son, Sam. The photo of Alexei Dolmatov with his son is above in the article.
As Guf admits, he began to cheat on his wife when she was still pregnant. The lady of the heart forgave him this mistake. However, in 2014, the couple divorced.
After Aiza, a girl named Anastasia Kiushkina appeared in the personal life of Alexei Dolmatov. However, they did not succeed, the rapper explains this by the fact that the girl was too stupid.
In October 2017, rapper Alexei Dolmatov posted a photo of his son on his Instagram account. Under the photo, the rapper wrote that he was looking for his son and asks fans to let him know if they see a boy on the streets of the city. The son is not really missing. And such a post is explained by the fact that Isa Anokhina limited communication between Sam and her ex-husband.
Guf - biography of Alexei Dolmatov Guf began to appear more and more often on the pages of magazines, on music channels, on news portals on the Internet and, most importantly, in your columns.
Guf recently released his second solo album, Dom. Recall that Alexey recorded his first album City of Roads while still in the Centr group. All fans of Guf and hip-hop in general have been waiting for the album of the House. From the very first days of sales, the album was sold out from store shelves, and the number of downloads from the network exceeded all expectations.
Guf himself did not expect such popularity, he spoke about this repeatedly in his interviews. He was unexpectedly invited to fashion publications to interview him, and his fans and journalists began a real hunt for him. Due to the abundance of Guf's fake VKontakte groups, Alexey had to open his own official VKontakte group.
“I refused to do more than two concerts a week. I was offered, but I refused, because if I have three concerts a week, then I already do not understand something ”
The beginning of Guf's career can be called the track "China Wall", which he wrote while in China in the late 90s. But due to drug problems, Alexei's career could not be continued. Later, in the early 2000s, Guf and Principle recorded the first album of the Center group - Gift. The circulation of the album The Gift was crazy - 13 copies, only for the closest ones.
Real fame came to Guf only later, when the albums of the Center group with Slim and Ptah were released: Swing (2007) and Ether in the issue (2008).
Since 2009, Guf leaves the Center group and begins a solo career under the GUF brand.
Guf gave up hard drugs and married Isa. It was Aiza that became the reason for Guf's refusal from hard drugs, which he himself sang about in his songs.
Guf (real name Alexey Sergeevich Dolmatov) is a Russian rap artist, co-founder and member of the CENTR group. At the beginning of the 21st century, the rapper gained wide popularity, and also received awards from the MTV Russia Music Awards and the Rock Alternative Music Prize. On the way to fame, the rapper has overcome many obstacles, from stuttering to drug addiction. Childhood
Alexey was born on September 23, 1979 in one of the central districts of Moscow - Zamoskvorechye, which will repeatedly appear in his work. When Guf was three years old, his father left the family. However, my mother got married a second time, and the stepfather became a second dad for the boy.
Parents were forced to travel on frequent business trips, and at some point settled in China, which adversely affected Alexey. At school, he skipped lessons for semesters, and already in the 5th grade, the boy began to have drug problems. Although, according to Guf, he first tried marijuana when he was 7 years old.
The closest person to the rapper was his grandmother - the late Tamara Konstantinovna, who raised Alexei to 12 years old. After the rapper will devote a number of compositions to her, including "Gossip" and "Original Ba".
Alexey's interest in rap was awakened when he was in the fourth grade. The boy voraciously listened to cassettes of the American rapper MC Hammer, which were not easy to get even in the era of Perestroika.
Life in China. Drugs
When the grandmother became aware of her grandson's love for soft drugs and his absence from school, she insisted that his parents take the boy to China. From the age of 12, Alexey lived with his parents in China, where he first went to a local school, and later entered the Shenyang Institute of Foreign Languages. He left Russia with zero knowledge of Chinese, and already in a new place he studied the language with the help of Russian-speaking tutors from among the students. With their help, he figured out how to get the prohibited substances in China, and the hopes of his relatives that Alexei would be "cleansed" in a foreign country collapsed.
In 1995, his grandmother visited Gufa in China and brought him hip-hop discs and cassettes, which were not available in the communist state. At this time, Alexey wrote his first poems and songs, but the plans were to open a business in China.
However, things began to crumble when, during a vacation in Moscow, he tried heroin. Guf quickly began to develop addiction, he began to inject the drug into a vein. Several times his life hung in the balance. So, Alexei recalled how he almost died once, having been in a heroin coma for two hours, while his grandmother was sitting in the next room and watching TV, not even suspecting what was happening to her grandson.
Returning to China, Alexey continued to kill the body with heroin. Moreover, he contacted drug dealers, with the help of which he began to sell weed in his dormitory. Soon, all the students knew which room to knock on in search of a high. At the same time, it could not hide from the administration of the hostel. Alexei was suspected of drug trafficking, for which in China he could face severe punishment up to the death penalty by firing squad. The young man was literally forced to flee the country in 1998.
Thus, his experience of living in China spans 7 challenging and definitely eventful years. When asked if he regrets that it happened, Guf replies that he himself, despite his business ambitions, is tired of living in a country with a foreign culture. However, references to this experience sometimes come through in the work of Dolmatov.
Return to Russia
Returning home, to the apartment of his beloved grandmother in Zamoskvorechye, Alexey entered the Faculty of Economics. But the passion for music turned out to be stronger, and with a friend from the university Roman Guf formed the Rolexx group. Roman did the arrangements, Alexey did the rest.
The rapper's first track was released at the age of 19 and was called "China Wall", it touched upon the problem of drug addiction. Drugs remained a constant companion of Alexei, and in 2000 they brought new serious problems - near the Kiev railway station Guf was stopped by the police. Having found a large amount of marijuana in his possession, the rapper was sent to the Butyrka.
To transfer Alexei to the so-called VIP-cell, his father had to pay more than $ 20,000. After 5 months, as a result of an amnesty by the decree of Vladimir Putin, Dolmatov was released, but the Rolexx project in its original form ceased to exist, although for some time Alexey used the pseudonym Guf aka Rolexx.

Unfortunately, Guf's prison experience was not limited to this. Much later, in 2015, he was sent to jail for 6 days for drug use. “It was built on purpose so that a person could feel the full weight of what he had done: a wooden bed, a hole in the floor,” he was indignant at the conditions of detention.
Centr
In 2003, Guf, together with his friend Nikolai Nikulin, known as the rapper Principle, organized the CENTR group and released the first demo album "Gift", which had a circulation of only 13 copies.
"Center" was born as a duet of Guf and Princip, but very soon Nikolai, who was never distinguished by law-abidingness, thundered into prison (having freed himself, he would record joint tracks with "Center" more than once).
Later, Alexey's longtime acquaintance Vadim Motylev, who released songs under the pseudonym Slim, joined the project. The rappers released the tracks "Wedding" and "Leader", which aroused great interest among the public, yearning for high-quality rap and hip-hop.
By the end of the year, there were already four in the group: the rapper Ptakha, who had previously been in the creative association "Smoke Screen", joined Guf and Slim. Together they recorded two compositions for the Russian film "Heat" in 2006, where they played Alexei Chadov and Timati.
The group was gaining popularity, but Guf continued to engage in solo work, recording songs with rapper Basta and Smokey Mo. In 2007, Alexey released his solo album City of Roads, which received a positive review from Rolling Stone magazine.

Conflict with Ptah
Despite the growing popularity of the "Center", in 2009 the relationship between Guf and Pthaha began to deteriorate. Mutual reproaches arise. Dolmatov accuses his colleague of negligent attitude to his creative duties, while he himself often disrupts the work of the team, for example, he is late or does not come to the shooting of videos at all. On June 6, 2009 the group gave a concert in Lugansk. What happened behind the scenes is unknown, but it was the starting point of the conflict. Insiders claimed that Guf saw Ptakha correspond with Guf's wife, Aiza Dolmatova, but there is no confirmation of this information. Guf gave an interview in which he announced that he was leaving the CENTR group. “The two participants, probably, did not have enough attention, the public,” Aleksey laconically commented on the incident. He later hinted at former colleagues in the song "100 lines", calling them "two crows alternately pecking in the head."
Ptakha and Slim commented on Guf's departure only in 2012. Ptakha mentioned that the listeners perceived Guf as the leader of the group, although other members of the group did not agree with this. Slim adhered to the same version, saying that Guf was not satisfied with the relationship within the team, and at the same time he understood that outside the "Center" he would be no less in demand. At the same time, both emphasized that the reason for Guf's departure lies precisely in the events that occurred on June 6.
In 2014, former friends attempted a reunion. At first glance, it turned out well. After several videos and a big tour with new songs, the guys released the album "System". But a black cat ran between them again. Guf doesn't like the fact that he was given only 15 months to write verses, and as a result, his lines turned out not as good as they could have been. The relationship between Guf and Pthaha begins to heat up, in interviews they constantly make fun of each other.
Centr - Curves
In 2017, Guf became one of the first release of Yuri Dud's show and during an interview he said that it was unbearable for him to be near Ptha. Although Dolmatov did not stoop to direct insults, Ptakha soon gave a detailed interview to the Ren-TV channel, in which he called Guf a two-faced and notorious gigolo, hungry for profit. “We didn't get along because I have a lot of friends, but he doesn't have them,” Ptakha was indignant.
After a short pick on social networks, Ptah called Guf to the Versus battle. Guf agreed with one condition - if the organizer of Versus, the Restaurateur, pays him 2 million rubles. On February 6, 2018, the event took place. Guf won with a score of 3: 0. On this, the conflict between the rappers slowed down.

Solo career
After leaving Center in 2009, Dolmatov created his own label ZM Nation, within which he began working on a new album, which was ready by the end of the year.
Soon the portal "Rap.ru" Guf was recognized as the best Russian performer at the end of the year. Prizes in the nomination "Best Album" and "Best Clip" were also awarded to the disc "House".
In 2010, he began work on a joint album "Basta / Guf", which ended with the release of a disc, which included the hit "My Game", and a long joint tour. Guf met Basta back in 2000, when he performed under the pseudonym Basta Khryu as part of the future "Caste". Vakulenko invited Dolmatov to his label Gazgolder.

In the same year, Guf was named Artist of the Year by the Russian Street Awards. Just a year later, he also received the MUZ-TV award in the category "Best Hip-Hop Project".
In early 2012, in a series of concerts and performances, Guf began work on his third studio album, and in November the tracks were available for download.
In 2011, Guf received the MUZ-TV award in the category "Best Hip-Hop Project"
In 2013, the cooperation between Guf and Basta ended. Most likely, the reason for this was the breakdowns of Alexei, who in no way managed to get rid of drug addiction. In 2017, years later, he accused Basta of not helping when Dolmatov "injected five grams of hera a day for six months." To these accusations, Basta responded with a long message, accusing Alexei of lying.
In 2015, after a long break caused by treatment in the clinic for drug addiction, in 2015 Alexey released a new solo album "More", which, however, did not return him to his former popularity. In 2017, Guf and Slim released two parts of the joint album "GuSli".
When in 2018 Guf starred in an advertisement for the Azino casino, a flurry of ridicule fell upon him. The fact is that before him, the forgotten rapper Vitya AK appeared in the advertisement of the same casino, and this advertisement breathed new life into his fading career. The same thing happened with the Ural rap group Triagrutrika. "Azino's advertising is a salvation for rappers who are losing popularity," they snapped on social networks, lamenting what Guf had sunk to.

In November 2018, Guf publicly reconciled with Basta and hinted that he would not mind to please listeners with new joint material.
Guf's personal life
In the summer of 2008, Guf married his longtime friend Aiza Vagapova (later Dolmatova), to whom he devoted an impressive part of his early work.
In May 2010, the couple had a son, who was named with an unusual oriental name Sami, or Sam.
The relationship of the spouses has always resembled a powder keg: they often quarreled, reconciled, and quarreled again. But in 2013 they broke up completely: first they stopped living together, then they filed for a divorce. The reason was Guf's drug addiction. After the wedding, he gave up drugs for the sake of his beloved woman, but over the years he returned to the addiction. Isa saved him, but in the end she dropped her hands and decided that it would be better for her son and for herself.
Later, Guf admitted in an interview that he was cheating on Aise, even at the time of her pregnancy. After parting, Aiza married businessman Dmitry Anokhin, with whom Dolmatov has a difficult relationship. In 2017, Aiza, tired of the jokes of her ex, released a diss on Guf "Guf RIP", in which she called Dolmatov a loser and wished him to inject him with a rusty needle. “According to his passport, Guf is 38 years old, but in reality he is 14,” says Aiza. It is difficult to say whether she put an end to this story in this way - in 2017, Guf asked her to return by publishing a post on Twitter with the words: “I love Aiza. Aes. Come back a ”.
Isa - diss on Guf
In January 2017, Guf was caught in an affair with the married soloist of A-Studio Keti Topuria. Not very high-quality photos from Samui appeared on the network, in which vigilant Internet users recognized Keti and Guf. Both persons involved in the impending scandal disowned, Guf admitted that he was friends with Keti, but nothing more. There was a lull, but soon the media reported about Topuria's divorce from her husband after four years of marriage and linked it to the photos with Guf that had leaked to the network. A few days before the news of the divorce, Guf left his girlfriend, the spectacular, tattooed Lesya Fak, whom he had been dating since 2014.
After that, Guf and Keti stopped hiding the relationship. They posted tender joint photos, met each other's parents, but the idyll came to an end when an 18-year-old native of Yekaterinburg said that she slept with Guf and had an abortion from him. Keti could not forgive the betrayal and, although she continued to love Alexei, the relationship came to an end.
After the breakup, Guf congratulated Keti by publishing a post on Instagram: “Kata !!! I can’t mark you because I’m blocked. Happy birthday! Thanks! I loved you very much! "
During the battle with Guf, Ptakha blurted out that Dolmatov had an eldest son, who was born out of wedlock.
Guf now
In September 2019, Guf was at the epicenter of a scandal. On September 7, the day before the elections to the Moscow Duma, his joint video "Moscow" with Timati appeared on YouTube. His obviously paid character did not hide from the audience. Particular indignation was caused by the lines “I'll slap a burger for Sobyanin’s health” and “I don’t go to rallies - I don’t rub the game”. Against the background of the tense internal political situation, the video collected more than a million dislikes, breaking the anti-record on the Russian-language YouTube segment. Guf makes excuses for the video "Moscow"
The clip has been removed. Guf recorded a video with excuses, stating that he did not know that he would be "framed like that" because he did not follow politics and had no idea that elections were on the way. But his statement was laughed at.
