During his work in America, Vladimir became a participant in local social and political life.

Returning to Russia after 2 years, Solovyov soon creates his own business in the development of high technologies. He owns small manufacturing plants in Russia and the Philippine Islands.

In the mid-90s, he launched the production of disco lighting equipment, which, in his own words, was successfully sold in the United States and european countries... In addition, the businessman is a member of the Entrepreneurs Committee of America, and also heads the Association of Young Economists.

Nevertheless, a career in business did not interest Solovyov, and he becomes a journalist.

Journalism and television

Being a well-known person in the business circles of Russia, Solovyov eventually begins to gain national fame. So, since 1997, he begins work as a presenter on the air of the radio "Silver Rain". From this moment it starts creative biography on TV.

A year later, his first program was released - the morning show "Nightingale Trills", which is still being produced today. The show format includes conversations with radio listeners and studio guests at different topics... The program contains headings dedicated to cars, cooking, the world of art, literature, public life, programs for children. On air TV show famous journalist communicated with listeners literally about everything: life, fashion, politics.

Gradually, Solovyov begins to conduct several programs on two different channels. Such activity allows him to gain invaluable experience, and also gives a certain impetus for professional development and awareness of the vast possibilities. Solovyov ended up on television as a man with an already formed position, character and life priorities. He becomes one of the best TV presenters on Russian TV. His ability to defend his own position, as well as to prove the correctness of his opinion, impress the viewers of political talk shows.

Since 1999, Vladimir began to work as a TV presenter. He works on several Russian TV channels, including ORT, NTV and TV-6. Together with the famous TV presenter, throughout the year he broadcasts "The Process", the theme of which is devoted to the social and political life of the country. At the same time, his program "Passion for Solovyov" was broadcast on TV-6. After the noticeable success of these projects, the man is working on a series of author's programs, including "Breakfast with Solovyov" and "Nightingale Night", which aired on TV-6.

A popular project of Vladimir Solovyov is the program "Towards the Barrier!" The essence of the program boiled down to the fact that the studio was invited famous people, adhering to diametrically opposite views on any issue. Their verbal duel took place in 3 rounds: the first was a direct dispute between the participants, in the second round seconds were connected from each side, in the third round the TV presenter himself asked questions. The final winner was determined by an audience vote.

Analytical talk show "Sunday evening with Vladimir Solovyov" is another TV show that has become popular among viewers. Such a program allowed the guests of the studio to discuss topical issues in different formats, becoming a kind of analogy to the political talk show "Duedok", which aired since 2010 on the TV channel "Russia 1".

Solovyov also participated in the filming of films and TV series. In particular, the audience remembered his performance as a businessman Lopatin in the popular project "National Security Agent 2".

The presenter's reasoning can also be heard on the radio. In 2016, Vladimir discussed with radio host Anna Shafran and the writer the murder of a journalist in Ukraine, as well as an unsuccessful attempt at a military coup in Turkey.

During the existence of the program "To the barrier!" the guests of the studio were famous representatives of social and political life:, and others. Many episodes ended in conflicts with subsequent lawsuits, but this only increased the ratings of the program.

During and after the broadcast of the TV show, Tarkhov was insulted by Vladimir Rudolfovich. Soon, legal proceedings began, the candidate filed a claim for 10 million rubles. against the journalist. As a result, the claim was partially satisfied, and the TV presenter was ordered to pay compensation in the amount of 70 thousand rubles.

The official filed a lawsuit with the courts, but soon decided to withdraw the claims.

In February 2014, during the "Full Contact" program, Solovyov entered into a discussion with students of the Higher School of Economics. The Russian presenter said that "organized terrorist groups" were allegedly operating in the educational institution, which intend to create a "Maidan underground". The university called such statements "provocative".

Among the well-known representatives of culture in the new "black list" was Vladimir Solovyov. The TV presenter was included in the sanctions list because of his position on the annexation of Crimea to the Russian Federation, as well as on the military conflict in eastern Ukraine.

Personal life

Vladimir was married three times. He married for the first time when he was young. The chosen one of the 22-year-old boy was a girl named Olga, whom he met on the subway. As Solovyov later admitted in an interview, his marriage by family standards took place late: his grandfather got a wife at 16, and his father married at 18. Vladimir has two children from Olga - Polina and Alexander.

The daughter subsequently followed in her father's footsteps and graduated from the Humanitarian Institute of Television and Radio Broadcasting, and the son settled in London, where he now works as a director and cameraman.

Already a graduate student, Vladimir was carried away by the girl Yulia, who became his second chosen one. She followed her husband across the ocean, where he was invited to teach. The pair returned with replenishment. In the United States, they had a daughter, Katya, who later graduated from the Shchukin Theater School. At first, the father of the family had to cope with odd jobs. Vladimir drove cars from Asian countries, sewed hats, worked as a janitor.

Soon Solovyov organized his own business, which began to make a profit. The entrepreneur made connections and acquaintances on television and in the cinema. Once a friend Armen Grigoryan invited Solovyov to appear in his video. On the set, a fateful meeting took place that influenced the journalist's personal life.

The first time they signed in a narrow circle of relatives, and in 2005 they re-registered the relationship in Normandy.

You can love Vladimir Solovyov, you can dislike. But it is extremely rare to meet a person who would be indifferent to him.

Vladimir Soloviev, a biography whose personal life will be discussed in the article, is an amazingly versatile person. He is present everywhere: on television, on radio, and in theater. Writes books, records discs, conducts trainings and creative evenings.

He is a father with many children, which is very rare these days. Vladimir makes a lot of money and does not hide it.

At the same time, he is an amazingly erudite, versatile person who is not afraid to express his opinion on any issue. And very often his statements cause scandals and litigation.

Childhood

Vladimir was born on a warm October day in 1963 in Moscow in a very intelligent and cultured family. From birth, he was very demanding and did not like to sleep at night. He was only son from parents. Starting from kindergarten, Vladimir began to show character and independence.

They got married almost immediately, but when Vladimir was 6 years old, they separated. Despite this, the parents have always maintained friendly relations.

Study

Vladimir went through all the stages of life of an ordinary Soviet child. After kindergarten I came to study at the 72nd school, which was located next door. But my mother dreamed that her son knew English. She managed to send Vladimir to a school with an English bias. And he began to study with the children of ministers and politicians.

He studied well, although he graduated from school without a medal. History and literature have always been my favorite subjects. He examined any interesting question thoroughly, reading everything that was available. By the way, his grandparents, who worked at a defense plant, instilled in him a love of reading. And they also brought up hard work and perseverance in him.

Vladimir was distinguished by his cheerful and sociable character. Their house was often filled with friends who sang together, argued, played the guitar. He was already a creative person at that time: he took part in performances in the school theater and sang.

In high school he signed up for the karate section, although he was more interested in philosophy and history eastern countries... After school he entered the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys, although he was not particularly interested in exact sciences.

I met my first wife Olga Soloviev on the subway. By family standards, he was already overdone, because all the men in his family got married early, and he was already over 20. In this marriage, Solovyov had a daughter, Polina, and a son, Sasha.

Difficult 90s

Winner of a red diploma, Vladimir became a graduate student of the Institute of World Economy and International Relations. It was more difficult to enter there than to any theatrical institute. But he did not need any help, he defended his thesis on his own and received a Ph.D. in economics.

Funds were sorely lacking, and two children had to be fed. The graduate student had to combine classes with part-time jobs. Vladimir worked as a janitor, a builder, he made hats and other clothes himself, drove cars from Asia. He also had to work as a teacher in his school.

His Ph.D. thesis got interested in America. And invited to the University of Alabama. He recalls this very difficult time with pleasure. New things have appeared, friends. He became involved in American political life.

He didn't have to be an economics teacher for long. He was fired for his political activities. He created his own business, began to make money. By this time he already had a second wife - Julia. In America, their daughter Katya was born.

The situation that is emerging in Russia in connection with the collapse of the USSR makes Solovyov return home. Big changes, new hopes and dreams inspired Vladimir and his friends. Together with them, he starts a new business for the production of equipment for discos. He also set up a recruiting office to help with employment.

Having achieved success in the field of business, Vladimir lost interest in this. He sold his business, invested all his money in Gazprom shares and took up creativity.

The beginning of a radio and television career

Quite by accident, he was asked to replace the sick presenter on the Silver Rain radio. He like it very much. To the heads of the radio company, too. This was in 1997. He had his own show "Nightingale Trills", which went on in the morning, and the author's program "Full Contact". He captivated his listeners with stories about life, food, fashion, philosophy and politics.

On the screen, TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov, a biography, whose family today interests many of his fans, appeared at the very end of the 20th century. First, he was given two broadcasts: "The Trial" on ORT and "Passion for Solovyov" on TNT. And Vladimir soon became a star on the TV screen.

The reason for this was that he became a television presenter already being a mature intellectual person. He was well-read, versatile and erudite. If we add to this the unique charisma and sparkling humor, then there is nothing surprising in his success. Moreover, he was always unusually hardworking.

Then he hosted many other programs on various channels. For example, two of his author's shows appeared on TV-6: "Nightingale Night" and "Breakfast with Solovyov." They are completely different in theme and style, which also speaks of his versatility and talent.

But in 2006 he was unexpectedly fired without explaining anything. Perhaps because of the scandal during the live broadcast, when Solovyov was the host of the televised debate and spoke offensively towards one of the candidates. Then they filed a lawsuit against him, and Solovyov had to pay a fine for moral damage. Time passed very hard without what he loved, but Vladimir was treated with work.

On the screen again

But one day, after a long break, he received a call from the Rossiya TV channel, and everything began to turn around with renewed vigor.

According to the contract, he had to switch to another radio station and start a new radio program there - "Full Contact". And on the television screen appeared "Duel", which is still popular.

A few years later, another program appeared - "Sunday evening with Vladimir Solovyov."

"Duel" is one of the most popular on television. It attracts guests with sharpness, heated debates and versatile views. Politicians, foreign figures, scientists and cultural workers are frequent guests of Solovyov.

Constant and non-stop work is the need of this extraordinary person. His full workload and demand gives him great pleasure. And he's not going to stop.

Third family

Once Vladimir Soloviev, whose biography, whose personal life was not always joyful and successful, sang at a picnic with friends, and his friend Armen Grigoryan invited him to star in the video. There he met his third wife, Elga Sepp. Elga's mother has Baltic and Germanic ancestors, so she has an unusual name and northern beauty.

Elga graduated from a French special school, studied choreography and dreamed of working as a ballerina. But under the pressure of her father, the writer Viktor Koklyushkin, she received a psychology degree. Before meeting her husband, Elga worked as a model and participated in music videos.

At that time, Vladimir had 50 kilos of excess weight and slightly scared his future wife with his impressive appearance. She liked him, but at the same time somehow annoyed her. Leaving her his business card, Vladimir asked to watch his TV shows. On the third date, he proposed. She agreed, although not immediately.

Due to lack of time, the wedding was postponed. She was played magnificently and on a grand scale in 2005 in Normandy.

Vladimir Soloviev, biography, children, whose personal life has always been under the scrutiny of journalists and fans, affectionately calls his wife Lyalya and assures that only in his current marriage he knew true love. He was present at the birth of his children, which also speaks of his feelings.

They have a traditional family. The husband fully provides for the family and his mother, and the wife fully took care of the house and children. She has no au pair or nannies. But Elga herself does a great job. She loves to cook and travel. Therefore, the spouses often travel abroad, especially in Italy, where they have rented the same house for many years for recreation.

Vladimir Soloviev: biography, personal life, children

Now the spouses have 2 daughters (Sofia-Betina and Emma-Esther) and 3 sons (Daniel, Vladimir and Ivan). The reason for the double names of Vladimir's daughters is that if in the future they want to take the mother's surname, then these names will be in harmony with the Sepp surname. Children from the last marriage are already starting to grow up. Each of them has their own interests and hobbies.

Daniil inherited the genes of his grandfather Viktor Koklyushkin and writes very funny stories. At the same time, he is an excellent student at the Lomonosov school. He is fond of boxing, equestrian sports, karting.

He lived with him for many years, and this did not give him much trouble. He was always full of energy and strength. He worked 15 hours a day, went in for sports and art, enjoyed success with women.

Moreover, the young wife did not express any comments about his figure. Vladimir treated his weight with humor, and he had several phrases prepared to joke about this.

But there came a period in life when one after another alarm bells began to arrive. Firstly, once in training, it simply became impossible for him to move. After walking some distance, he felt shortness of breath and fatigue.

The wife was expecting another child. Once, sitting next to her and listening to his breathing, Vladimir realized that he would not live to see the wedding of this very child.
