Biography
This section needs additional citations for verification. (September 2023) |
Shcherbatykh was born in Altai, in the town of Aleysk. His father was Russian and his mother Ukrainian. After his father was killed, the Shcherbatykh family moved to Stanislaviv, Ukrainian SSR, in the summer of 1949. Shcherbatykh graduated from a Russian-speaking school.
In 1976, Shcherbatykh married the Kyivan poet Maria Huk. In 1977, they traveled to Kamchatka, where Maria gave birth to a son, Volodymyr. In 1980, the family returned to Ukraine. There, Shcherbatykh worked in the film industry. At the end of the decade, he joined the theatrical studio Ne zhurysya! in Lviv. Around this time, he adopted the stage name "Tryzuby Stas" (Trident Stas). He humorously explained that it represented the "three teeth" he had: [a] the Komsomol, the Communist party, and trade unions. At the beginning of the 1990s, Shcherbatykh began writing songs that were critical of the government.
Shcherbatykh died on 24 January 2007 in his Kyiv apartment, from a heart attack.[2]

Notes
- To have teeth for something is a play-on-words meaning to have a grudge against something.
