Yuri Aleksandrovich Gulyayev[a] (9 September 1930 – 23 April 1986) was a Soviet opera singer from Tyumen, Ural Oblast, RSFSR.

The lyric baritone successfully harmonized with the singer's appearance – tall, powerful, with courageous, but soft facial features, with a special, charming smile, which was called "Gagarin's" with the light hand of Joseph Kobzon.

[4] Vocal works such as "The Russian Field", "On the Nameless Height", "My Kiev", "Song about Anxious Youth", were especially popular with listeners.

Gulyayev toured the Soviet Union and abroad a lot: he performed in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Hungary, GDR, Canada, Cuba, Poland, United States, France, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, Yugoslavia, Japan and other countries.

Son – Yuri Yuryevich Gulyaev (born 12.12.1964), Candidate of Philosophical Sciences, lecturer at the Faculty of Pedagogical Education of Moscow State University.
