From the memoirs of Alexei Marochkin about the master:

"Having a creative workshop in Minsk on Nemiga, he spent more time with his mother, in a wooden pre-war house. A few meters from the house there was a dilapidated outbuilding - a shed. Without windows.

Oleg unlocked the old rusty lock, opened both doors of the threshing floor and daylight blinded all the riches hidden in this shed with rays. And there was an easel, which firmly supported the unfinished canvas of the artist. “This is my village workshop. From summer to late autumn, until frost, here I am tied to this easel, to my canvases.

"His modesty was boundless ... No one can remember that he ever ascended the podium and taught his colleagues. And when he taught at the Academy of Arts, young people followed him at breaks. For her, he was an undeniable authority. And his authorities there were such artists as Algerd Malishevsky, Ivan Karasev, from the former Belarusian classics - Mikhail Filippovich, Mikhail Stanyuta and Roman Semashkevich.

"I myself always had a small sketchbook in my pocket. "I work every minute. There is an idea to paint a large-format painting "Kupalye". And also in the Palace of Arts to show their drawings. I have countless of them."
