The favorite game of millions of Russians, KVN, has been around for over 50 years. During this time it played great amount teams, hundreds of people became famous, recognizable and loved by the public. But not everyone managed to maintain their popularity; only the most cheerful and resourceful became lucky. “Comedy Club”, “Our Russia”, “Once Upon a Time in Russia” and many other projects that appeared on TV thanks to the Kaveen people have long been loved by all of us. Team " Ural dumplings“went the furthest, the guys reunited and created their own show. The founder of the team, Vladimir Sokolov, is one of the most discussed in Lately show business figures. In 2015, he not only celebrated his anniversary, but also became a father for the fourth time. Sokolov’s young wife Ksenia Li is 23 years younger than her husband, but their marriage, as they say, was made in heaven.

Thanks to “Irina Mikhailovna”

Ksenia was born in 1988 in Kazakhstan. Now few people will remember from Yekaterinburg with the non-trivial name “Irina Mikhailovna”, but it was in it that young Ksenia Li played. In 2006, Dmitry Sokolov was present at one of the games as a member of the jury, who immediately noticed the brown-eyed beauty. At first, Ksenia did not respond to the advances of the famous Kaveen player, the age difference was too great, but perseverance and perseverance melted her heart.

That same year they met New Year in the same company in Sochi, after which they became a couple and were never separated again.

Ideal relationship

Every person in life needs to meet their soulmate, not just good man, namely his own. Dmitry and Ksenia, in addition to their great love for each other, are connected by another feeling - obsession with what they love. Ksenia Li is present at every performance of the Ural Dumplings show, in addition, she herself writes scripts for them. By the way, many of the scenes that we see at the team’s performances are taken from the life of Dmitry’s own family.

The recent birth of their second child together certainly limits the young mother’s ability to attend all events with her husband, and he is constantly not at home. It was for this reason that Dmitry’s previous marriage with his classmate Natalya, with whom they have two children together, broke up. But Ksenia understands everything, and this is probably where the key to the family happiness of the Sokolov family lies.

Wedding

For some time after the start of the relationship, the couple lived together, and in 2011, the comedians threw a high-profile wedding in the style of the Sicilian mafia. Of course, all the “dumplings” were invited to the event, thanks to which the holiday turned out to be incredibly interesting.

Ksenia Li, whose biography is 23 years shorter than that of her husband, glowed with happiness. She was wearing an exquisite White dress with purple inserts, and the oriental beauty was emphasized by voluminous elongated earrings with pearls. The groom looked impeccable in a light suit and white shirt.

For three years family life the couple became parents twice. In 2012, a daughter, Masha, appeared in the star family, and in April 2015, a son, Vanya.

In sickness and in health

Not everything in the couple's life was smooth. The fact is that Ksenia had congenital health problems - her legs were deformed. The only thing that could help was surgery, which the girl refused to do. The risks were too great, rehabilitation was difficult, and the cost was impressive. But Dmitry managed to convince his wife that this needed to be done. The operation was successful, and then there was a long rehabilitation. He was there, supporting, encouraging, giving massages. Together they overcame a terrible illness, because true love overcoming difficulties only makes you stronger.

Now Ksenia Li, whose photos are presented in the article, is completely healthy and feels great. Together with Dmitry Sokolov, they raise children, write exciting scripts, and continue to move in the same direction. We wish happiness to the young couple and their children.

IN primary school the teacher often complained about Dima’s restlessness and excessive activity, disapproving of his behavior. And in high school, under the guidance of another teacher, the boy found where to direct his energy. Sokolov began to actively engage in creative extracurricular activities, which greatly pleased his new class teacher.

After graduating from school, like any resident of a small village who wants to get higher education, Dmitry went to Sverdlovsk. There he entered the Ural Polytechnic Institute. Wanting to gain work experience, Sokolov joined the VSSO, where students were instilled with a love of work and taught to perform tasks in a team. Also, the guys from the construction team, in their free time from the collective farm and construction sites, regularly organized KVN concerts, where they sang, joked and danced. Exactly student life her humor and creativity captivated Dmitry, who already then understood how he saw his future life.

Personal life and career

As a student at the institute and an activist in the construction team, Dmitry met Natalya, who was studying as an engineer-economist. Regular trips to nature, filled with humor and funny stories, as well as romantic songs with a guitar, won Natalya’s heart. One year later romantic relationships With original courtship, the girl accepted Dima’s proposal to marry him. In 1992, the young people had a son, Alexander, and in 2002, a daughter, Anna.

Famous showman Dmitry Sokolov

His career as an amateur creative artist began with performances in the rock group “Neighbors”. And in 1993, Dmitry Sokolov decided to create his own KVN team, which thundered throughout the Russian Federation under the name “Ural dumplings”. Already in 2000, the comedian received the champion prize in the KVN Major League, and in 2002 he became the winner of the Summer Cup. Along with these awards, Sokolov’s team and its participants were awarded prizes at festivals in Jurmala and other projects created to support Russian comedians.

But achievements and awards did not bring the main thing to Dmitry Sokolov’s family - finances, which his wife Natalya was counting on. Due to the constant workload of her husband and his absence from home during the tour, the girl had to independently cope with household chores and raise children. When the talented comedian returned home with another award, Natalya confronted him with a tough choice: either a family or a career in KVN.

The artist, who lived on the stage and performing, could not give up his brainchild, “Ural Dumplings,” and agreed to a divorce.

From that moment on, a turning point and a very difficult emotionally period began for Dmitry Sokolov. Natalya could not forgive her beloved for his choice and their relationship deteriorated forever. Nevertheless, ex-wife did not forbid Dima to see her children and participate in their life and upbringing. It was hard for him to return to the apartment, where no one else was waiting for him, and meet with his son and daughter on schedule.

New family

The man, accustomed to family and children's laughter, did not turn into a lonely bachelor. After some time, he met KVN participant Ksenia Li. She performed on stage, and Dmitry sat on the jury as an experienced leader of the Ural Dumplings. The comedian, who at that time turned 45, was not embarrassed by the age difference between him and his chosen one of 20 years. He began to actively court the girl, who perceived signs of attention from him as a funny, but not entirely successful joke.

Dmitry Sokolov with his second wife

When Ksenia realized that Sokolov was not joking and his intentions were quite serious, and his courtship was charming, the girl gave in. The relationship between the famous screenwriter and comedian Sokolov and the young KVN artist moved to a more serious stage, and Ksenia realized that she had met the man of her dreams. Dmitry treated his beloved with warmth and care, and she reciprocated. They were connected not only sincere feelings, but also love for KVN.

Even before marriage, a tragedy happened with Ksyusha. Since childhood, the girl suffered from a serious illness that led to deformation of her legs. And in 2006, when a relationship began between her and Dmitry, the situation worsened significantly.

Ksenia needed an urgent and expensive operation, for which the aspiring KVN star did not have the money. In addition, the girl was very afraid of any surgical intervention, fearing that if it failed, she would never be able to walk. Dmitry Sokolov not only was not afraid of his beloved’s illness, but also persuaded her to undergo surgery.

While waiting in line at the clinic, the artist was constantly next to Ksenia. All night long Sokolov gave the girl a foot massage to help relieve pain. And as in a real fairy tale The complex operation ended successfully for Ksenia and all her health problems were left behind.

Founder of Ural Dumplings with his wife and children

On September 8, 2011, Dmitry and Ksenia got married, officially registering their marriage. Ksenia Sokolova parted with her Kazakh passport and became a citizen of the Russian Federation. And in October 2012, the young wife gave birth to Sokolov’s beautiful daughter Maria. After giving birth, the girl continued to actively participate in her husband’s touring life. Together with Dmitry Sokolov, they are writing new scripts for the Ural Dumplings’ performances, including humorous scenes from their biography and family life.

The children from his first marriage took it very kindly new woman in dad's life. They regularly spend time with Ksenia and her younger sister, helping in raising Masha and spending her leisure time while the father of the family is away. In 2015, there was another addition to the Sokolovs. Ksenia gave birth to her husband’s son Ivan, and 2 years later another daughter, Sophia.

Dmitry Sokolov, in turn, is in no hurry to close the Ural Dumplings page in his biography, because for its creator the team is another family. Since 2009, the team launched its own show on the STS channel. The artist also participates in television projects « Comedy Club", "Show News" and others. And in his free time from performing, the man works part-time as an organizer of events and concerts.

Sokolov Dmitry Vladimirovich (b. 1965) – Russian comedian, showman and actor. Founder of the KVN team from Yekaterinburg “Ural dumplings”. Show business figure, participant in the entertainment project on the STS television channel “Show “Ural Dumplings”. He has an amazing, unpredictable, sometimes absurd sense of humor.

Childhood

Dima was born on April 11, 1965 in the city of Pervouralsk, Sverdlovsk region. In the family of Irina Alexandrovna and Vladimir Sergeevich Sokolov, this was the second child (Dmitry has an older sister).

From early childhood, the boy grew up incredibly active and artistic. At the age of three, he already knew by heart “The Tale of Bremen Town Musicians"by the Brothers Grimm, which was read to the baby before bedtime. One day a TV repairman came to the Sokolovs’ home. While he was working, the child gave him a real performance: he told the whole fairy tale, and accompanied it with songs and dances. When the master finished his work and began to leave, he jokingly asked Dima’s parents: “Why do you need a TV with such and such an artist?”

Little Sokolov loved to sing, despite the fact that his hearing was poor. Although this did not stop him from studying at a music school and even performing in folklore ensemble.

But with studying in secondary school At first things were rather bad. Due to excessive restlessness and activity, the boy did not pay attention to his lessons and did not remember school material. Teachers complained to parents about their child being too inquisitive and active. But, according to Dmitry’s mother, the boy did not grow up bad or dirty, he was simply a great inventor.

Starting from the fourth grade, the situation improved; the older Dima became, the better his academic performance. And when their class was taken to Moscow during the holidays, he generally pleasantly surprised the teachers with his proposal to take them not to the circus, zoo or cafe, as other children wanted, but to the theater.

Students

Having received a certificate of secondary education, Dmitry went to Yekaterinburg, where he became a student at the Faculty of Chemical Technology of the Ural Polytechnic Institute. His older sister was already studying here. She was the first activist public life, a member of the “Horizon” construction team, a member of the propaganda team. The girl always invited her parents and younger brother to numerous concerts and theme evenings organized by the construction team. Moreover, students organized these events not only within the institute’s walls; they often traveled to collective farms, hospitals, factories and other enterprises to give performances.

Such a fun student and construction brigade life captivated Dima, and soon he also became a member of Horizon. Sokolov was delighted with the atmosphere of humor and laughter that reigned in the detachment, quickly joined the team and became a local star.

After his second year, he went with a construction team to Astrakhan. Everything was great - performances, evenings with guitars and bonfires, a lot of new good friends. But during the trip, some students, including Dima, fell ill with typhoid fever. Long-term treatment was required, so Sokolov had to take an academic leave from the institute.

After recovery and before the start of the new semester, when he could go back to school, there was not much time left. But it was during this period that Dmitry was recruited to serve in the army. Once in the military construction unit, he did not forget about amateur performances here either. Having served, as expected, for two years, he returned to his native institute.

Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful

In 1991, Dima became a member of the KVN team “Neighbors”, which united the best student comedians from two educational institutions– Ural Polytechnic and Tyumen Medical Institutes. The team received an invitation to participate in the games of the KVN Major League, but at the qualifying stage they lost to the guys from Novosibirsk.

In 1992, Sokolov was unanimously elected commissar of student groups at the institute.

In 1993, the Neighbors team broke up. And then Dmitry, who had already thoroughly studied KVN cuisine from the inside, decided to create his own new team. As the commissar of construction teams, he selected the best and congenial representatives from all the propaganda teams of the Polytechnic Institute and invited them to his team. All these guys were not random, as Sokolov himself says, you don’t get into KVN just by choice, to play it, you need to have an innate sense of humor and artistry. This is how the now famous “Ural dumplings” were born throughout Russia. They decided to name the team in honor of a restaurant in Sverdlovsk with exactly the same name.

"Ural dumplings"

Immediately after its creation, in 1993, the team played a friendly game with guys from the law school and won its first victory.

In 1995, “Ural dumplings” took part in the city KVN championship, in which they not only reached the finals, but also became champions of Yekaterinburg, defeating the team from the Ural state university. In the same year they made their debut in the KVN Major League. Having performed at the festival in Sochi at the beginning of the year, the guys received an invitation to a gala concert during the Major League season.

The team spent five seasons in the KVN Major League, gradually rising to its most cherished goal:

• 1995 – eliminated from the 1/8;
• 1996 - lost already in 1/4;
• 1997 - lost again at the 1/8 stage;
• 1998 - reached the semi-finals, where they lost to the guys from the Tomsk team “Children of Lieutenant Schmidt”, who eventually became champions;
• 2000 - they beat the “Burnt by the Sun” team from the city of Sochi in the final, becoming not just champions of the Major League, but also securing their unofficial status as “the last champions of the 20th century.”

The performances of “Ural Dumplings” have always been a huge success. In addition to the championship, the team became the owner of prestigious KVN awards:

• Summer Cup (2002);
• “Big KiViN in the Dark” (2005, 2006);
• “Big KiViN in Light” (1999, 2004);
• “Big KiViN in gold” (2002).

In addition to the fact that Dmitry Sokolov founded such a talented team, it is worth noting his own performance on the KVN stage. Dima's appearance was always an explosive mixture of brutal, subtle and at the same time simple humor. He spoke all his jokes calmly, sometimes even gloomily, without a smile and with a stony face, which caused even more laughter in the audience. The audience especially remembered the verse “Lonely White Mouse” performed by Sokolov, which is rightly called a classic of KVN humor.

A television

“Ural Dumplings” became the only KVN team that, after finishing its career in the Major League, managed to continue performing on television with almost the same composition and even celebrate its twentieth anniversary. At the same time, their popularity does not decrease every year, but, on the contrary, grows.

In 2007, the guys came up with their project “Show News” (a humorous version of the news program), which they presented on the TNT television channel. The first episodes were popular with viewers, even for some time included in the channel's Top 10 programs. Gradually, the show's ratings began to fall.

In 2009, “Ural Dumplings” had the chance to have a big concert performance on Ren-TV. The channel’s producers did not allocate money for organizing filming, but the guys decided not to waste the opportunity that had arisen and recorded the concert on own funds. Here they made the right decision; they were soon offered permanent cooperation on the STS channel.

Every month they prepare and show a new humorous program. Dmitry often plays the role of a simple-minded but sophisticated village peasant. In addition to going on stage, Sokolov is also a director, concert organizer, and one of the authors of numerous jokes, original ideas, songs and sketches.

The most famous and popular concert programs"Ural dumplings":

• “Laughter at the Christmas Tree”;

The team’s work was highly praised by the Academy of Russian Television Foundation. In 2013, the guys received the prestigious TEFI Commonwealth television award for their kind and sparkling humor. In the same year, according to Forbes magazine, “Ural dumplings” entered the “50 main Russian celebrities».

In addition to “Ural Dumplings,” Dmitry Sokolov sometimes appeared on other television channels, where he performed solo numbers in humorous shows:

• in the parody program “Big Difference” (Channel One);
• in the improvisational TV show “Southern Butovo” (Channel One);
• in the information and entertainment program “ProjectorParisHilton” (Channel One);
• V comedy show"Comedy Club" (TNT).

From 2011 to 2013, the sketch show “Unreal Story” was aired on the STS channel, where Sokolov played the role of the head of the village of Khitropopovka (Luka Lukich).

In 2015, Dmitry Sokolov turned fifty years old; Ural Dumplings celebrated this event on stage with the concert “50 Friends of SOKOLOUSEN”.

Personal life

Dima met his first wife Natasha while studying at the institute. She studied at the Faculty of Engineering and Economics. Together the students went to the construction team. On the trip, when in the evenings they gathered around the fire and sang songs with a guitar, Natasha immediately set her eyes on the universal joker nicknamed Falcon. And he, in turn, drew attention to the smart and beautiful girl.

Dima looked after her very beautifully, the lovers did not delay the wedding and got married. In 1992, they had a boy, who was named Alexander. Ten years later, the family was replenished with a girl, Anya.

But in the early 2000s, Dmitry just became fanatically interested in the Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful. I began to be at home less and less often, but this occupation did not bring in a decent income. All worries about the children and the household fell on the shoulders of the wife. At some point, she could not stand it and asked her husband to make a choice - either his constant traveling would stop and he would be close to his family, or they would separate. Sokolov chose divorce because KVN became his life’s work.

Natalya took the breakup very hard, but did not forbid it ex-spouse see the children. Now the old grievances have subsided, Natasha and Dima have maintained friendly relations. She never established her personal life and did not get married a second time.

Dmitry did not stay single for long. In 2006, a meeting was held in Yekaterinburg student teams KVN. Dima was invited to join the jury. One young participant, performing on stage for the team “Irina Mikhailovna,” attracted his attention. Then at a party he got to know this girl, whose name was Ksenia Li.

She was from Kazakhstan, a wonderful singer, beautiful, open and cheerful. After meeting, Dmitry fell for her even more strongly and began to show signs of attention. But Ksyusha translated everything into a joke; the young girl was embarrassed by the big age difference (Dmitry is 23 years older than Ksenia). But Sokolov was persistent, looked after him, gave gifts, invited him to celebrate new year holidays in the city of Sochi. No one had ever looked after Ksenia so beautifully; Dima conquered her with his care and kindness.

For Ksyusha, Sokolov’s expensive gifts (a fur coat, a car, a house) were not so important, but the fact that he supported her the most during a particularly difficult period. Since childhood, her disease has progressed - deformation of her legs. Some time after meeting Dima, Ksenia began to walk worse and worse, it even came to the point of using crutches. For a long time the girl could not decide to undergo surgery. Dmitry persuaded her, paid for everything and during the rehabilitation period was nearby, giving Ksyusha foot massages at night.

In September 2011, Dima and Ksenia had a gorgeous wedding in Yekaterinburg. It was very noisy and fun. In October 2012, the couple had their first girl, Maria. In 2015, almost on her husband’s fiftieth birthday, Ksenia gave him a son, Ivan. Dmitry's half-century anniversary was loudly celebrated on April 11, and a week later, on April 19, Vanka was born. In May 2017, they had another girl, Sofia (initially, the parents wanted to name their daughter Ioanna, but then changed their minds).

Dmitry devotes every free minute to his wife and children. Now it’s difficult for him to find time for his favorite hobby, fishing, or for watching the good old comedies of Gaidai, which Sokolov adores.

How did comedian Dmitry Sokolov achieve success and become famous? Who is his wife, and how many children does the man have?

Dmitry Sokolov, one of the founders of the famous KVN team “Ural Dumplings”, was always a great cheerful person - this is what allowed him to achieve great success. Many fans are interested in the life and relationships of their idol, and in this material we will talk about how the comedian achieved success and who his wife is.

The success story of a popular KVN player

The future star comes from Pervouralsk, a town in the Sverdlovsk region; Dmitry was born on April 11, 1965 and was youngest child in family. Since childhood, he was very artistic, loved to dance and show mini-skits to family members, relatives and acquaintances.

Enormous internal energy made him restless, because of this the boy could not boast of academic performance in early school. It often became a source of complaints from teachers. Parents sent Dmitry to music school, and this, to a certain extent, could make him calmer: the boy was passionate about music and dancing.

After receiving a school certificate, Dmitry moved to Yekaterinburg (then Sverdlovsk) and entered the local Polytechnic, where “Ural dumplings” were born in the future. He began his studies at the Faculty of Chemical Technology, communicated a lot with classmates, and enjoyed participating in activities outside of class, including being a member of a construction team. The guys were sent to different places, to collective farms, where they organized fun amateur concerts. It was here that Sokolov’s talent was able to manifest itself.

After finishing his second year, he and his construction team went to the Caspian Sea, where he fell ill with typhoid fever. A long course of medical and rehabilitation therapy forced young man take academic leave. Afterwards, Dmitry was unable to recover and was forced to join the army, serving in a construction battalion.

Returning to civilian life, Sokolov again took up creativity and played in a rock band. It was then, in 1993, after becoming familiar with all the features of the business, that the idea came to him to create his own project. He began looking for participants from different construction teams of the Polytechnic University, and was able to gather successful team: all the guys turned out to be very talented, artistic and, of course, with a great sense of humor.

The first performances of “Ural Dumplings” within the framework of the “Merry and Resourceful Club” created a sensation. The team showed bright scenes that left no one indifferent. Soon the cheerful guys made it to the Major League. Over the course of five years, the team collected many awards at KiViN and even became the last champion of the century in 2000.

Dmitry Sokolov, or simply “Sokol”, is one of the most bright participants. Talented and charismatic, he had his own stage persona and could make people laugh, even when he was telling jokes with a sullen face. His original witticisms and speaking style were very much loved by the public, many of which became aphorisms.

After success in KVN, Dmitry and other team members woke up famous; they decided to build on their success and start broadcasting their projects on television. So in 2009 they launched the “Ural Dumplings Show” on STS. Dmitry is actively involved in directing, writing scripts and creating most of the jokes for his team.

In 2013, the legendary KVN team turned 20 years old. All these years, in many ways, it was Sokolov who ensured the enormous success of the team and, characteristically, did not suffer from star fever.

He himself starred in various television projects and series, including “Comedy Club”, “ProjectorParisHilton”, etc.

Who is Sokolov's wife?

The man was married twice. He met his first wife while still on the construction team; Natalya was also a student. The lovers began a stormy relationship that led to marriage. Natalya gave birth to two children: a son, Alexander, and a daughter, Anna, 10 years apart. But the success of “Ural Dumplings”, tours, and constant travel led to the fact that the couple divorced in the 2000s.

Then Dmitry had several years of bachelor life until he met Ksenia Li, who also plays in KVN. They met back in 2006, and in 2011 they got married. A year later, daughter Maria was born, and in the spring of 2015, son Ivan was born.

In 2017, Dmitry turned 52 years old, but he is full of energy and strength to delight his fans with sparkling humor. He has harmonious family relationships (common interests with his wife) and healthy children. We wish him further success in his career and happiness in his family and relationship with his wife.
