It is known that the man lived in the hotel since August 2 and practically did not leave the room, he had a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door. Bottles of alcohol and various medicines were found at the scene. The official representative for the Sverdlovsk region Alexander reported "URA.Ru" that the initial task of forensic scientists was to find out whether the death had a criminal character. “The final results of histological examinations, on the basis of which it will be possible to put an end to the pre-investigation check, will be only in 1.5 months.

As noted in the statement, 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 post ends with the words of condolences: “He passed away talented person, good friend, loving and beloved father and husband. The Ural dumplings team expresses its sincere condolences to the family and close relatives of Alexei Lyutikov. Alexey, we will always remember you and continue all your undertakings!
From open sources it is known that Lyutikov graduated from the Kursk Pedagogical Institute with a specialization " social Psychology". In the early 90s, he became the captain of the Service Entrance KVN team, in which he reached the semifinals of the game. In 2006-2011, Lyutikov also held one of the leading positions in comedy club Production, and since 2013 he has been the director of his own production at Novy Kanal.
According to the Kartoteka.Ru database, Lyutikov was the general director of Ural Pelmeni Production LLC (registered as a micro-enterprise), a similar position is indicated on the Pelmeni official website. The founders of the company are, in fact, the whole team - Maxim Yaritsa and other stars with the exception of Sergei Netievsky. At the same time, there is another LLC "Creative Association" Ural Pelmeni ", the founders of which are also the entire creative team. Now, litigation is underway against this company - the fact is that Netievsky was previously its director, but subsequently the meeting of the founders deprived him of this position, and he headed the company.
Now Netievsky is protesting this decision, in July his claim was satisfied by the court.
The aggravation of relations in the "Ural dumplings" was allegedly due to Lyutikov: according to the Ural media, he allegedly found some documents confirming the big difference in the fees of the team members. One of Netievsky's friends, who was dismissed from the leadership with a scandal, said that the conflict with Lyutikov was largely the reason for his departure. In addition, after the departure of Netievsky, Lyutikov stated that he had arrogated to himself the exclusive rights to verbal trademark"Ural dumplings". According to the deceased ex-director of Pelmeni, the brand should belong to all members of the team. The court session in this case with the participation of Lyutikov was to be held in October 2016.
Alexey Lyutikov, whose biography is presented in the article, was one of the most prominent participants in the game in KVN. After leaving the Service Entrance team in 1997, he disappeared from the screens. His fate was little known to the layman, until in August 2016 the media reported his death in a hotel in Yekaterinburg.
Way to KVN
A native of the small town of Fatezh (Kursk region), Alexei Lyutikov was born on 06/02/1974. He was born with a cleft lip and was ridiculed and bullied by his peers. Already then there were problems with the heart, because the boy could not help but worry because of childish cruelty. Salvation was the school KVN, on the stage of which he caused deafening laughter auditorium. But it was a different kind of laugh, a reaction to witty jokes without poking fun at him. appearance. Fun game became his destiny.
The young man underwent five complex operations on his face, but the consequences of a congenital anomaly remained noticeable until the end of his days. Having developed for himself the principle that you can only rely on yourself in life, Alexei 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 Kursk team "Service Entrance".
Frontman of the KVN team
Young men did not go long to their success. Already in 1997, they brilliantly reached the semifinals, beating face-to-face meeting popular team "Ural dumplings" in the 1/8 finals. Among them, the captain stood out - Alexei Lyutikov, uttering jokes with an absolutely serious expression on his face. He was followed with interest, he was quoted:
- "This is the country for the Jews, and for us - the stop."
- "We work out the sponsor's bread with our ass."
- "KVN treats corns!".
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 were eliminated early on, failing to progress to the professional level later on.
Follow-up, personal life
Lyutikov managed to catch on in Moscow, but he did not go on stage again. He started a family early, so he needed to get on his feet. Since 2006, Alexey Lyutikov began to cooperate with the Comedy Club, leading the direction of regional development. His responsibilities included the creation of branches of the stand-up club in the field. Since 2013, he began working with Novy Kanal, and in 2014 he ended up as an executive producer at 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 who was born when Alexei was only 20, and a daughter who was successfully involved in rhythmic gymnastics. A little later, she will enter the youth team. Never missing her important starts, in August 2016 this tradition was for some reason broken by Alexei Lyutikov.
"Ural dumplings" - the last project of the showman
"Ural dumplings" needed a professional who would know firsthand the Moscow show business. In the summer of 2015, the team had a conflict with the leader Netievsky, whose company owned the trademark creative team. Despite the fact that he brought the guys to STS and did a lot for the team, there were disagreements about further development project. He took over the leadership and there was no one to deal with business in Moscow. So Alexey Lyutikov appeared in the Ural dumplings.
He is credited with the blame for inflating the conflict and the litigation, as a result of which Sergei Netievsky regained his position as the head of the show. There was a process to return the trademark to the founders. Being engaged in financial affairs, Lyutikov presented the guys with documents from which it followed that the income of the head differed significantly from the fees of the artists. Be that as it may, he himself went into work with his head, signing an unprecedented contract for the team - 12 performances in Sochi in the summer of 2016. Upon his return from the tour on 08/2/2016, he was supposed to fly to his family in Moscow, but for some reason he returned from the airport to the Angelo Hotel.
Causes of death
His body was discovered on August 10 by a hotel maid. He spent the whole week alone in his room, emptying the minibar and then ordering cognac from the restaurant. Suffering from heart failure, the body could not cope with the abundance of alcohol. Presumably, the showman died from a thromboembolism, having fallen unconscious with his head on the table. As a result, the face turned out to be injured by glass fragments from a glass, so a 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 participated in demonstration performances, and for the first time his father was not in the hall. What was Alexey Lyutikov thinking about in the last hours? "Ural dumplings" in an official appeal recognized his contribution to the development of the creative team and expressed their condolences to the family and loved ones. And rumors spread in the press about Lyutikov's possible debts and the alleged termination of the contract with him.
The real fans of KVN are really sorry that the once talented captain of the Kursk people decided to leave the stage.
YEKATERINBURG, August 10. /TASS/. The director of the "Ural dumplings" Alexey Lyutikov was found dead in the Angelo hotel in Yekaterinburg. This was reported to a TASS correspondent on Wednesday at the hotel and the police.
"Citizen Lyutikov was found dead in his room," the source said.
This information was confirmed to a TASS correspondent by the head of the press service of the Sverdlovsk police, Valery Gorelykh.
"The body of Lyutikov was found in one of the hotel rooms. An operational-investigative group of the territorial police department and the regional department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation is working at the scene. Criminal signs of Lyutikov's death have not yet been found. The exact cause of death will be known after a forensic medical examination," Gorelykh said. .
Criminal detectives have already established that Lyutikov has been living at the hotel since August 2. "The police also interviewed the man's widow, who said that her husband complained of pain in the heart. There are indirect signs that the room was not without alcohol," the police spokesman said, adding that a procedural decision would be made based on the results of the inspection that had begun.
SC started checking
In turn, Alexander Shulga, senior assistant to the head of the investigative department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Sverdlovsk Region, said that the investigative department for the Oktyabrsky district of Yekaterinburg began an investigation in connection with the death of the director of the Ural dumplings, Alexei Lyutikov, in one of the rooms of the Angelo hotel.
"A pre-investigation check has been launched on the fact of Lyutikov's death. So far, no criminal traces have been found on the body of the deceased man. In the near future, investigators will begin interviewing eyewitnesses, a forensic medical examination has been scheduled to establish the exact cause of death," Shulga said.
Lyutikov in 1993 became the captain of the KVN team "Service Entrance", which included in the season major league KVN 1997 to the semifinals. From 2006 to 2011 - Development Director, Member of the Board of Directors, Personal Advisor general producer comedy club production. Since 2013, he has been director of his own production at Novy Kanal.
"Ural dumplings" is a creative association from Yekaterinburg, which was founded in 1993 as a KVN team. Since 2009, "Ural dumplings" have been presenting a humorous show of the same name on the STS channel.
Former kaveenshchik, director of the "Ural dumplings" Alexei Lyutikov was found dead today in the Angelo hotel in Yekaterinburg. As a source told Life, the director of the "Ural dumplings" drove into the room on August 2 and since then he has practically not left the hotel building. At the same time, dozens of bottles of alcohol were found in the room.
According to Life's source, no traces of violent death were found on the man's body. At the same time, the investigation will check all possible versions of Lyutikov's death. Including those that may be associated with the results of a protracted neurosis. The fact is that for almost half a year the man was a plaintiff in a lawsuit for the right to use the Ural dumplings trademark.
The activities of the popular talk show are managed by two companies: Ural Pelmeni Production and the Ural Pelmeni Creative Association. The actors of the show are co-owners in both companies - Andrey Rozhkov, Dmitry Sokolov, Sergey Isaev, Dmitry Brekotkin, Vyacheslav Myasnikov, Maxim Yaritsa and others Lyutikov worked as the general director of the company "Ural dumplings production." Until the fall of 2015, the "Creative Association" was led by Sergei Netievsky, also a former "dumpling".
Netievsky was removed from his post in 2015 as a result of a meeting of participants (according to the constituent documents, all members of the team who to one degree or another own a stake in the company have the right to vote). At the same time, Netievsky continued to perform in numbers as an artist. Officially, Lyutikov then stated that the removal of Netievsky was a simple managerial move in order to increase the efficiency of the show.
Netievsky, however, did not give up and in June 2016 challenged his own dismissal in court. The court invalidated the protocol of the meeting, as a result of which Netievsky was removed. As a result, Netievsky was reinstated as director.
"Dumplings" were sued not only for positions, but also for trademarks. In March 2016, Lyutikov, together with the actors, filed a lawsuit in the capital's arbitration against Netievsky's company Fest Hand Media. At one time, "pelmeni" entered into an agreement with her on granting exclusive rights to the trademark "Ural dumplings". However, in their lawsuit, the actors and Lyutikov asked that the contract be declared invalid.
Lyutikov, after Netievsky left, stated that he had appropriated the exclusive rights to the verbal trademark "Ural dumplings": the brand, he pointed out, should belong to the team.
In July, the parties almost reconciled. Netievsky's lawyer said that his client was ready to agree to a settlement agreement. However, the final decision was not made: Lyutikov's lawyer said that he should consult with the client. As a result, the court adjourned the case until October 2016. At the meeting in the fall, Lyutikov's opinion as a plaintiff regarding the settlement agreement was to be presented.
"Ural dumplings" is no longer a joke. The intra-corporate war unleashed by comedians for earned millions ended in the death of their new leader. Alexei Lyutikov, 43, was found dead in a hotel near Yekaterinburg Airport. The artist developed heart failure. And although the investigators said that there was no crime here, even the KVN players themselves admit that the scandals had a strong impact on the health of their director. " Loads, emotions and disputes in business could not but affect the well-being of Alexei ...”, - says the obituary, which Pelmeni published on their website.
"I BREATHE A SECOND LIFE IN" DUMPLINGS"
In the same press release, "Dumplings" write: " Alexey did a lot for our project. He put all his skill and 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 make an omelet without breaking eggs. Because of Alexei, the Sverdlovsk kings of humor quarreled with their then boss Sergei Netievsky.
Until recently, "Ural dumplings" were one big team
Lyutikov greatly stirred up the water, - a friend of Netievsky assures. “Dumplings” have been together for a million years. And over the years, the team 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 other participants. Lyutikov competently sharpened the already sharp corners. He pointed to the difference in fees. Found some documents.
Lawsuits began, the division of profits and even the very name "Ural dumplings" (the case is still being considered in the Moscow court).
At the same time, Netievsky's powers were divided. Instead, in Yekaterinburg, a teammate Sergey Isaev began to deal with the affairs of the Pelmeni. Well, the comedians left the metropolitan questions at the mercy of Lyutikov.
“I PLANTED A HEART AS A CHILDHOOD”
When you manage the affairs of one of the main comedy shows country, and at the same time you are also accused of quarreling your best friends for your own benefit (“Dumplings”, together with the student bench, we met back in 1994), here you won’t get off with a good sense of humor. A person needs iron nerves and good health. But this is precisely what Lyutikov did not have.
His relatives admit that health future star KVN undermined even in school years.
Lesha had a cleft lip as a child, Lyutikov's relatives say. - The boys teased, they did not give passage. Alexey was very worried and nervous because of this. On this basis, heart problems developed, noises appeared. The doctors then advised the Lyutikovs to send their son to school team KVN.
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 Aleksey is already a stately young man, ready to conquer new heights.
A difficult childhood taught Lesha to live by the principle “If you don’t help yourself, no one will help you,” Lyutikov’s old friends confess. - Take at least the KVN team "Service Entrance", in which Lyutikov was the captain. They did a good job, got on TV. But when the 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, Alexey 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 the Moscow cuisine. So we hired Alexei, - explained the appearance of Lyutikov in the Ural team Sergey Ershov, also known from the TV series Real Boys.
WHY THE WIFE DID NOT SOUND THE ALARM?
Alexey Lyutikov was not only engaged in negotiations about the concerts of the Ural dumplings and their participation in commercial projects. As a leader, he often accompanied KVN-shchikov on their tours. This happened, for example, with performances in Sochi. Pelmeni received a mega-lucrative 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, then with a sense of accomplishment, the artists parted for the holidays. On August 2, the head Lyutikov was supposed to fly to Moscow to his family. And he really drove to the Koltsovo airport. However, he did not board the plane. Instead, he checked into the nearby Angelo Hotel, where he lived until his death on August 10.
When the investigative committee began to conduct an inspection, 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 - a son of 23, a daughter of 14. So why didn't the family sound the alarm when the head of the family disappeared for a whole week?
Lyutikov told his wife that he had urgent business 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 power department.
Alexei's daughter is making notable progress in rhythmic gymnastics. The girl was recently even taken to the youth team of Russia. According to relatives, her competitions were sacred 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 ashamed to return home"
The director of "Dumplings" knew perfectly well that he should not drink - over the years, a sick heart began to bother him even more. But, despite the prohibitions of doctors, Lyutikov first emptied the mini-bar in his room, and then called the bar, which is located in the hotel, and ordered cognac.
Lyutikov worked like a damn, promoting "Dumplings," one of the authors of "Ural dumplings" explains the behavior of the boss. – It was Aleksey who agreed on the long-term tour of the team in Sochi… The Pelmeni themselves, of course, do not let us into their affairs. But among the "writers" there is a rumor that our stars themselves wanted to steer things not only at the regional level, but also at the federal level. So Lyutikov was no longer needed. Maybe Alexei was put before the fact? And he did not want to return home as an unemployed loser.
The investigation into the death of Lyutikov has not yet been completed. Investigators are in no hurry to draw conclusions. And fans of KVN, who remember Alexei from his game for the “Service Entrance” team, are asking 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 took place, - Anna Lyutikova, the humorist's sister, says dryly. There are no secrets for us 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 to Moscow from the Ural dumplings, 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. Recall that the Arbitration Court of the Sverdlovsk Region reinstated him as director.
During the lawsuit to reinstate Sergei Netievsky in office, the Ural Pelmeni tried to legitimize their meeting, at which they elected Sergei Isaev as the new director, explains Netievsky's lawyer, managing partner of the Yusta Aura law firm Evgeny Dedkov. - For this, my client's colleagues held a new meeting and sent an invitation to it to Sergei Netievsky. At the second meeting, Sergey Isaev was again elected director. But they did not take into account the fact that the court recognized the decision on the first meeting as "null and void". Therefore, the second meeting of comedians automatically has no legal force.
In order to recognize the second meeting of comedians as "insignificant", Sergei Netievsky has now filed a new lawsuit in court. And "Ural dumplings", meanwhile, will appeal against the decision of the representatives of Themis to reinstate Sergei Netievsky as director.
Help "KP" The Ural Dumplings KVN team 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 team Andrei Rozhkov and Sergei Isaev to join it. In addition to them, the team included Sergey Ershov and Dmitry Brekotkin. In 1995, the Ural Pelmeni team tried their hand at the KVN team festival in Sochi. They immediately get into the gala concert, and following the results of the festival and into the season of the Major League of KVN. From 1995 to 2000, "Ural dumplings" play five seasons in the Major League of KVN. In 2000, when 23-year-old Sergey Svetlakov joined the team, "dumplings" became the winners of the Major League, securing the status of "the last champion". In addition, the team won the Big KiViN in Gold (2002), Big KiViN in light" (1999, 2004), "Big KiViN in the dark" (2005, 2006) at the festival of KVN teams "Voicing KiViN". In 2007, "Ural dumplings" began to release their program "Show News" on TNT. True, it lasted only a month. The show was canceled due to low ratings. In 2009, comedians sign a contract with STS. The contract with the TV channel was signed by Sergei Netievsky. Aleksey Lyutikov began to manage the team's affairs in the capital in 2014.
