Andrey Vadimovich Makarevich ({{langx|ru|link=no|Андре́й Вади́мович Макаре́вич}}; born 11 December 1953) is an Israeli and Soviet-Russian rock musician and the founder of Russia's oldest still active rock band Mashina Vremeni (Time Machine).
Personal life
Makarevich was born in Moscow to mixed-heritage parents of Belarusian (royal peasantry), Polish aristocracy (from the Sas family), Greek[http://brama.brestregion.com/nomer25/artic15.shtml Полесская родословная рок-музыканта Андрея Макаревича] and Jewish origin. He graduated from the Moscow Architectural Institute as a graphic artist.
He was born to a mother of Jewish origin, tuberculosis specialist, microbiologist Nina Markovna Makarevich (née Shmuylovich, 1926–1989) and a father of Belarusian origin, architect and teacher of the Moscow Architectural Institute Vadim Grigorievich Makarevich (1924–1996).
Until 2011, he was a supporter of the Presidents Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev, believing that at that time there was no alternative to them, and that many problems were caused not by the authorities, but by the society itself.{{cite news |url=http://www.svoboda.org/content/article/437893.html |author=Shary, Andrey |title=Андрей Макаревич: «Я действительно поддерживаю Путина и Медведева» |newspaper=Радио Свобода |trans-title=Andrey Makarevich: "I really support Putin and Medvedev" |lang=ru |date=2008-03-05 |publisher=Radio Liberty |access-date=2022-08-30 |archive-date=2015-02-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150219111841/http://www.svoboda.org/content/article/437893.html |url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=http://www.svobodanews.ru/content/article/24346561.html |author=Shakirov, Mumin |title=Русский рок против тандема «Путин—Медведев» |trans-title=Russian rock against the tandem "Putin—Medvedev" |lang=ru |date=2011-10-02 |publisher=Radio Liberty |access-date=2022-08-30 |archive-date=2011-10-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111016025525/http://www.svobodanews.ru/content/article/24346561.html |url-status=live}} Starting in 2011, he opposed the re-election of Putin for a third term in the absence of real elections.
He immigrated to Israel in 2022, where he had a son from an Israeli-Ukrainian wife in his fourth marriage.{{cite news |title=Андрей Макаревич: мой сын будет говорить и по-русски, и на ниврите.

Career
In his youth, Makarevich was a big fan of the English rock band The Beatles. In 1969, he founded Mashina Vremeni, a rock band largely inspired by Western rock and blues of the time. He is the band's singer and guitarist. While their music is written by all the members, Makarevich is the band's exclusive lyrics writer. Mashina Vremeni had a big influence on the development of rock music in USSR.
Makarevich also released eight solo albums, participated in regular TV shows and assisted other groups and artists. He authored several poetry collections and two volumes of memoirs. Makarevich is also interested in painting. He accompanied Mikhail Gorbachev on his solo album in 2009.
Makarevich performed for Ukraine's internally displaced people during the war in Donbas in the Ukrainian town Sviatohirsk in August 2014. Deputy of the State Duma Yevgeny Fyodorov vowed to strip Makarevich of all Russian state honors, describing his performance in Svyatogorsk as "collaborating with the fascists".[http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/stomping-cats-and-lace-panties-russia-s-12-most-surreal-legislative-initiatives/505543.html Stomping Cats and Lace Panties: Russia's 12 Most Surreal Legislative Initiatives] Later that month, NTV aired a documentary titled 13 Friends of the Junta in which Makarevich was described as a "traitor" and supporter of fascists. The Moscow Times reported that footage of his concert "was merged with images of the fighting that he supposedly endorsed. The program never mentions that the concert was for the benefit of Ukraine's internally displaced children."{{cite news |url= http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/russian-rock-star-makarevich-slammed-by-state-run-tv/505907.html |title= Russian Rock Star Makarevich Slammed in State TV Smear Campaign |first= Anna |last= Dolgov |work= The Moscow Times |date= 26 August 2014 }}
In July 2015, Makarevich together with Ukrainian band Haydamaky and Polish singer Maciej Maleńczuk presented a new song, "Only Love Will Keep You Alive" (Тільки любов залишить тебе живим). The lyrics of the song are written in three languages – Russian, Ukrainian and Polish.{{cite web |url=http://latestnewsresource.com/uk/news/makarevich-spel-s-ukraintsami-i-poljakom-o-drakone-po-imeni-vlast |title=Макаревич заспівав з українцями і поляком про "дракона на ім'я влада" |trans-title=Makarevich sang with Ukrainians and Poles about "A dragon named 'Power'" |language=uk |publisher=LatestNewsResource |accessdate=28 August 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150801053120/http://latestnewsresource.com/uk/news/makarevich-spel-s-ukraintsami-i-poljakom-o-drakone-po-imeni-vlast |archive-date=1 August 2015 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}{{cite web|url=http://www.ukrinform.ua/ukr/news/makarevich_malenchuk_i_gaydamaki_zapisali_novu_pisnyu_pro_mir |title=Макаревич, Маленчук і "Гайдамаки" записали нову пісню про мир |publisher=Укрінформ |date=21 July 2015 |accessdate=22 July 2015}}
In 2014 Makarevich received the Dr. Rainer Hildebrandt Human Rights Award endowed by Alexandra Hildebrandt. The award is given annually in recognition of extraordinary, non-violent commitment to human rights. He supported the 2020–2021 Belarusian protests{{cite news |title="Мы глубоко возмущены, что диалогу с обществом власть предпочитает насилие" |url=https://echo.msk.ru/blog/echomsk/2707575-echo/ |access-date=19 March 2022 |work=Ekho Moskvy}} and criticized the Russian invasion of Ukraine.{{cite news |title="Нас поссорили со всем миром, нам врут": Макаревич нерезко высказался о войне Украины против 90% проголосовавших за отделение|url=https://www.unian.net/society/nas-possorili-so-vsem-mirom-nam-vrut-makarevich-rezko-vyskazalsya-o-voyne-rf-protiv-ukrainy-novosti-ukrainy-11708842.html |access-date=19 March 2022 |work=www.unian.net |issue=18 February 2022 |language=ru}} In 2022, Russia designated him a "foreign agent".{{Cite news|url=https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-makarevich-zhdanov-zimin-foreign-agents-ukraine/32016826.html|title=Russian Authorities Designate Rock Star Makarevich And Navalny Ally As 'Foreign Agents'|website=www.rferl.org|language=en|date=3 September 2022|access-date=23 April 2023}}
