Oleg Chilap

Oleg Chilap

O! Chilap or Oleg Chilap (Олег Викторович Чилап, born in 1959 in Kharkov) is a rock musician, poet and writer. He is the leader of Optimalniy Variant Russian band. He is one of the best-known rock poets in Russia.[1]

O! Chilap's lyrics and music are imbued with the spirit of the liberated generation, a spirit he describes as a "flux of culture", where Pink Floyd coexists with Debussy, and the father of Russian literary avant-garde Khlebnikov with Van Gogh.[2]

In 1999 and 2000 he was awarded by President's grant for Literature. His book, 8 ruk, chtobi obnyat' tebya became a bestseller in Russia.[3]
