In 1980 he graduated from the Leningrad Film College. For some time after graduating from the technical school he worked as a projectionist in the Sovremennik and the Titan cinemas.

According to Garkusha himself, on the stage he got by accident. In 1985 he was asked two sing a couple of phrases of a song, verses are two which he wrote. He sang, everyone liked it. So he became a participant of the "Auktsion".

After his arrival in the team, the image of "Auktsiona" radically changed. The band's performances turned into eccentric shows with a buffoonery. A distinctive feature of these shows was the character and recognizability of each character. Especially good was Garkusha in the role of unruly, eccentric punk - "red clown", galloping on stage.
