Version: the director of Uralskiye dumplings died after learning that they wanted to fire him. The directors of Uralskiye dumplings were found dead at the Angelo hotel Valery Gorelykh, head of the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Sverdlovsk Region

"Ural dumplings" now have no time for jokes. The internal corporate war unleashed by humorists for the millions earned ended in the death of their new leader. Alexei Lyutikov, 43, was found dead in a hotel near the Yekaterinburg airport. The artist developed heart failure. And although the investigators said that there was no crime here, even the KVN officers themselves admit that the scandals had a strong impact on the health of their director. " The stress, emotions and disputes in business could not but affect Alexei's well-being ...", - says the obituary, which" Pelmeni "published on their website.

"INSPIRED THE SECOND LIFE IN THE" PELMENIE "

In the same press release "Pelmeni" write: " Alexey did a lot for our project. He put all his skill and accumulated experience into the show. Thanks to his efforts, the project received a second wind, a second life.»

Lyutikov really breathed a second life in the show "Ural dumplings". But, as they say, you can't cook an omelet without breaking the eggs. Because of Alexei, the Sverdlovsk kings of humor quarreled with their then boss, Sergei Netievsky.

Until recently, "Uralskie dumplings" were one big team

Buttercup has seriously disturbed the water, - assures a friend of Netievsky. - "Pelmeni" have been together for a million years. And over the years, the collective always accumulates a lot of old grievances. For me personally, it was not surprising that the director of the team, Netievsky, earned a little more than the other members. Buttercup skilfully sharpened the already sharp corners. He pointed out the difference in fees. Found some documents.

The courts began, the division of profits and even the very name "Uralskie dumplings" (the case is still being considered in the Moscow court).

At the same time, Netievsky's powers were divided. Instead, in Yekaterinburg, his teammate Sergei Isaev began to deal with the affairs of the Pelmeni. Well, the comedians left the capital issues at the mercy of Lyutikov.

"PLANTED A HEART STILL IN CHILDHOOD"

When you are in charge of one of the main humorous shows in the country, and at the same time you are accused of having quarreled with your best friends for your own benefit (Pelmeni, together from your student days, met back in 94), there is already one you can't get off with a good sense of humor. Man needs nerves of iron and good health. And this is exactly what Lyutikov did not have.

His relatives admit that the future KVN star undermined the health of the future KVN star during his school years.

Lesha had a cleft lip as a child, say Lyutikov's relatives. - The boys teased, they did not give a pass. Because of this, Alexei was very worried, nervous. On this basis, heart problems developed, noises appeared. The doctors then advised the Lyutikovs to send their son to the KVN school team.

Lesha liked it on stage. It would seem that they are laughing at him again, but without mockery. Then there were 5 operations on the face. And now Alexei is already a stately young man, ready to conquer new heights.

A difficult childhood taught Lesha to live according to the principle “If you don’t help yourself, no one will help”, - old friends of Lyutikov confess. - Take at least the KVN team "Service entrance", in which Lyutikov was the captain. They did a good job, hit the TV. But when popularity began to decline, Lech quickly deleted his teammates from his life and began to unwind alone.

In the early 2000s, Lyutikov moved from his native Kursk to Moscow. When the Comedy Club appeared, Aleksey quickly made a career for himself there: starting as a full-time stand-up comedian, he soon became the head of the Comedy regional development department. In this status, he was noticed by "Pelmeni".

Lyutikov is a professional in his field. We needed a person who knows all Moscow cuisine. So we hired Alexei, - explained the appearance of Lyutikov in the Ural team Sergei Ershov, also known from the TV series "Real Boys".

Why didn't your wife sound the alarm?

Alexey Lyutikov was not only engaged in negotiations on the concerts of the "Ural dumplings" and their participation in commercial projects. As a leader, he often accompanied KVN players on their touring trips. This happened, for example, with performances in Sochi. "Pelmeni" received a mega-profitable contract - in the middle of summer they gave 12 concerts in a popular resort town. Then the team returned to Yekaterinburg, where they held a meeting on the results of the past season. Well, and then, with a sense of accomplishment, the artists left for the holidays. The head of Buttercup on August 2 was supposed to fly to Moscow to his family. And he really got to the Koltsovo airport. However, he did not board the plane. Instead, he checked into the nearest hotel Angelo, where he lived until his death on August 10.

When the investigative committee began to conduct an investigation, the detectives were first of all surprised that Lyutikov was not missed at home. Alexey is an exemplary family man. He lived with his wife for a quarter of a century. They have two children - son 23, daughter 14. So why did the family not sound the alarm when the head of the family disappeared for a whole week?

His wife Lyutikov said that he had urgent matters in Yekaterinburg concerning the activities of the "Ural dumplings". Therefore, he is forced to stay in the Urals for several days, - explains a source in the security department.

Alexei's daughter is making notable progress in rhythmic gymnastics. The girl was recently even taken to the Russian youth team. According to relatives, her competition was a saint for her father. Until recently, Lyutikov did not miss a single performance of his daughter. But in early August, dad flatly refused to come to her demonstration performances ...

"LYUTIKOV WAS SHAME TO RETURN HOME"

The director of "Pelmeni" knew perfectly well that he should not drink - a sick heart over the years began to bother him even more. But, despite the prohibitions of doctors, Lyutikov first emptied the minibar in his room, and then called the bar in the hotel and ordered brandy.

Lyutikov worked hard, like a damned one, promoting "Dumplings", - explains the behavior of the chief one of the authors of "Ural dumplings". - It was Aleksey who agreed on a long tour of the team in Sochi ... The Pelmeni themselves, of course, do not devote us to their affairs. But among the "writers" there is a rumor that our stars wanted to steer their own affairs not only at the regional level, but also at the federal level. But Buttercup and became unnecessary. Maybe Alexei was presented with a fact? And he did not want to return home as an unemployed loser.

The check on the death of Lyutikov has not yet been completed. Investigators are slow to draw conclusions. And KVN fans, who remember Alexei from his performance for the "Service Entrance" team, ask the relatives of the deceased comedian to hire a private detective to find out the real cause of the tragedy. However, close men believe that there is nothing to investigate here.

For me, the fact of my brother's death has taken place, - says the humorist's sister Anna Lyutikova dryly. - For us, there are no secrets in this story. Lesha was in Yekaterinburg for a week because he was on a business trip!

We continue to monitor the investigation.

Sergei Svetlakov moved from "Uralskiye dumplings" to Moscow earlier, and now Sergei Netievsky has followed him.

Meanwhile

Netievsky continues to sue "Pelmeni"

The death of Alexei Lyutikov did not in the least affect the judicial wars of the "Ural dumplings" with Sergei Netievsky. As a reminder, the Arbitration Court of the Sverdlovsk Region reinstated him as director.

During the trial to reinstate Sergei Netievsky in his post, Uralskiye Pelmeni tried to legitimize their meeting, at which they elected Sergei Isaev as their new director, explains Evgeny Dedkov, a lawyer of Netievsky, managing partner of the Yusta Aura law firm. - For this, my client's colleagues held a new meeting and sent an invitation to it to Sergei Netievsky. At the second meeting, Sergei Isaev was re-elected director. But they did not take into account the fact that the decision at the first meeting was declared "null and void" by the court. Therefore, the second meeting of humorists is automatically null and void.

To recognize the second meeting of humorists as "null and void", Sergei Netievsky has now filed a new lawsuit in court. Meanwhile, Uralskie Pelmeni will appeal against the decision of Themis representatives to reinstate Sergei Netievsky as director.

Help "KP" The KVN team “Uralskie dumplings” was founded in 1993 by Dmitry Sokolov. The team grew out of the competition of propaganda teams of the Ural Polytechnic Institute. Dmitry Sokolov invited his colleagues from the construction brigade Andrey Rozhkov and Sergey Isaev to it. In addition to them, the team included Sergey Ershov and Dmitry Brekotkin.

The investigation is currently conducting a check on the fact of death.

He put all his skill and accumulated experience into the show, brought it to a new level, and, thanks to his efforts, the project had the opportunity to develop freely and independently, got a second wind, a second life ... ", - said in the message.

Alexey Lyutikov, whose biography is presented in the article, was one of the brightest participants in the game in KVN. Having left the team "Service Entrance" in 1997, he disappeared from the screens. His fate was little known to the layman, until in August 2016 the media reported about his death in a hotel in Yekaterinburg.

Way to KVN

A native of the small town of Fatezh (Kursk region), Alexey Lyutikov was born on 2.06.1974. He was born with a cleft lip and was ridiculed and bullied by his peers. Even then, there were heart problems, for the boy could not help but worry about childish cruelty. Salvation was the school KVN, on the stage of which he caused deafening laughter in the audience. But it was a different laugh - a reaction to witty jokes without teasing his appearance. An exciting game became his destiny.

The young man underwent five most difficult facial surgeries, but the consequences of the congenital anomaly remained noticeable until the end of his days. Having worked out for himself the principle that you can only rely on yourself in life, Alexey Lyutikov, for whom KVN became a vocation, entered the pedagogical institute of the city of Kursk. Having received the profession of a social psychologist, in 1993, the young man became a member of the Kurian team “Service Entrance”.

Frontman of the KVN team

The young men did not go to their success for long. Already in 1997, they brilliantly reached the semifinals, beating the popular Uralskiye Pelmeni team in the 1/8 finals in a face-to-face meeting. Among them, the captain, Aleksey Lyutikov, stood out, making jokes with an absolutely serious expression on his face. He was followed with interest, he was quoted as saying:

• "This is the country behind the Jews, and behind us is the stop."
• "We work out sponsorship bread with our butt."
• "KVN heals calluses!"

After the team did not pass the semi-final stage, the frontman left the team due to disagreements with the guys. They were considered the leaders of the 1998 season, but without their captain they took off at an early stage, unable to move further to the professional level.

Follow-up, personal life

Lyutikov managed to catch hold of in Moscow, but he never appeared on stage. He started a family early, so he needed to get on his feet. Since 2006, Alexey Lyutikov began to cooperate with the Comedy Club, heading the direction of regional development. His responsibilities included the creation of local branches of a stand-up club. Since 2013, he began cooperation with Novy Kanal, and in 2014 he was appointed executive producer of First Hand Media, led by Sergei Netievsky. He headed the humorous show "Ural dumplings" created in 2009.

By this time, Lyutikov already had two children: a son, born when Alexei was only 20, and a daughter, who was successfully engaged in rhythmic gymnastics. A little later, she will enter the youth team. Never missing her important starts, in August 2016, for some reason, Alexey Lyutikov broke this tradition.

"Ural dumplings" - the last project of the showman

"Ural dumplings" needed a professional who would know firsthand Moscow show business. In the summer of 2015, the team had a conflict with the head of Netievsky, whose firm owned the trademark of the creative team. Despite the fact that he brought the guys to STS and did a lot for the team, disagreements arose about the further development of the project. He took over the leadership and there was no one to do business in Moscow. This is how Alexey Lyutikov appeared in Uralskiye Dumplings.

He is blamed for stirring up the conflict and litigation, as a result of which Sergei Netievsky regained his position as head of the show. There was a process to return the trademark to the founders. Being engaged in financial affairs, Lyutikov presented the children with documents, from which it followed that the manager's income was significantly different from the artists' fees. Be that as it may, he himself went into work headlong, having concluded an unprecedented contract for the team - 12 performances in Sochi in the summer of 2016. On his return from the tour on 08/08/2016, he was supposed to fly to his family in Moscow, but for some reason returned from the airport to the Angelo hotel.

Causes of death

His corpse was discovered on August 10 by the hotel maid. He spent the whole week in his room alone, emptying the minibar, and then ordering brandy from the restaurant. Suffering from heart failure, the body could not cope with the abundance of alcohol. Presumably, the showman died from thromboembolism, having fallen on the table while losing consciousness. As a result, the face was injured by shards of glass from a glass, so the version of a violent death was initially put forward. The artist's family refused to initiate a criminal case, recognizing the fact of death from natural causes.

It remains a mystery why the showman did not fly to Moscow. These days, his daughter took part in demonstration performances, and for the first time his father was not in the hall. What did Alexey Lyutikov think about in the last hours? Uralskie Pelmeni in an official appeal acknowledged his contribution to the development of the creative team and expressed condolences to his family and loved ones. And in the press rumors spread about the possible debts of Lyutikov and the alleged termination of the contract with him.

True fans of KVN are really sorry that the once talented captain Kuryan decided to leave the stage.

General director of the show "Ural dumplings" Alexey Lyutikov. He was found dead in a hotel in Yekaterinburg. The press service of the "pelmeni" said that Lyutikov had health problems.

Huge emotional stress, flights, various problems and disputes, as in any business, and an almost round-the-clock work schedule - all this could not but affect Alexei's health, - the message says.

StarHit, citing forensic experts, said that Lyutikov died due to dilated cardiomyopathy, a myocardial disease that caused stretching of the heart cavities. Alexei also developed heart failure and heart rhythm disturbances.

Representatives of the Sverdlovsk police found many empty alcohol bottles next to Lyutikov's body. The general director of "Uralskiye dumplings" did not leave the room for more than a week, and there was a sign "Do not disturb" on the door.

Lyutikov, like most comedians, began his career in KVN. In the early 90s he became the captain of the KVN team "Service Entrance", in which he reached the semifinals of the game. In 2006-2011, Lyutikov was one of the leaders of Comedy Club Production.

He became the director of Ural dumplings in 2015 after the scandalous dismissal of Sergei Natievsky, writes Vector News. Allegedly "Uralskie dumplings" brought in much more money than the team members thought, and Natievsky hid it. However, after the arrival of Lyutikov, disagreements continued in the team, which mainly concerned the fees of the participants in the show.

Lyutikov greatly disturbed the water, - explained to "KP" a friend of Sergei Netievsky, who wished to remain anonymous. - Alexey was the catalyst for what happened. "Dumplings" have been together for a million years. And over the years, the collective always accumulates a lot of old grievances. For me personally, it was not surprising that the director of the collective Netievsky earned a little more than the other participants. Buttercup skilfully sharpened the already sharp corners. He pointed out the difference in fees. Found some documents.

Nevertheless, the collective's statement says that Lyutikov did a lot for the Uralskiye Pelmeni project.

He put all his skill and accumulated experience into the show, brought it to a new level, and thanks to his efforts, the project had the opportunity to develop freely and independently, got a second wind, a second life, '' the message says.

Natievsky is currently challenging his dismissal in court. In addition, after the departure of Netievsky, Lyutikov declared that he had arrogated to himself the exclusive rights to the verbal trademark "Ural dumplings". And the brand should belong to all members of the team. The court session with the participation of Lyutikov was supposed to take place in October 2016.
