Yevgeny Viktorovich Belousov was born on September 10, 1964, in the village of
Zhikhar,
Kharkiv Oblast. He graduated from vocational school No 1 as mechanic-repairman Starting with 1993, Belousov's health started to deteriorate and his popularity nose-dived. His stint as a distillery businessman in
Ryazan proved to be a failure and he was accused of tax evasion. In March 1997, he was taken to the
Sklifosovsky Institute with acute
pancreatitis. A month later he suffered a stroke (earlier head injuries and alcohol abuse cited as possible causes) and underwent a brain surgery. On 2 June 1997 Belousov died at the Sklifosovsky hospital, and was interred in the
Kuntsevo Cemetery. ==References==
