Biography and personal life of Dmitry Tarasov
The biography and personal life of Dmitry Tarasov are directly related to sports and constant training. Little Dimka was restless and very active, so it was decided to channel his energy into a peaceful direction. The boy began to practice karate and simply fell ill with martial arts. Even now, Dmitry is very successful in fights without rules.
However, the boy was drawn with terrible force into the world of football, which his father and godfather played with him. The seven-year-old boy began training at the Labor Reserves sports club, where he immediately became a striker.
Dima did well at school, trained constantly, and at the age of twelve he scored the winning goal in a match against Spartak. Higher-level coaches became interested in the talented boy, so already in the sixth grade he began studying at the Spartak Youth Sports School.
Until 2006, the guy played for the Spartak football team, where he was a midfielder, however, a conflict with the coaching staff forced him to leave. Dmitry moved to a lower level team - Tomsk "Tom", where he spent the next three years.
In 2009, Tarasov ended up in the Moscow football club; he was invited to the Russian national football team’s training camp, after which he joined Lokomotiv. In the same year, Dmitry became Master of Sports of the Russian Federation and vice-president of Loko, and was also included in the main team.
In 2013, he received the title of best midfielder of the season and began playing for the Russian national team. The following year was terrible for Tarasov, who constantly received serious injuries, due to which he was unable to travel to the World Cup in sunny Brazil.
By the way, Dmitry Tarasov found himself at the center of a scandal when he appeared in 2021 after the 1/16 finals of the Europa League between the strongest teams Fenerbahçe and Lokomotiv wearing a T-shirt with a portrait of Vladimir Putin. A case was opened against the team due to violation of the clause related to advertising and political propaganda.
Dmitry is an incredibly creative person, which is why he appears in films, including “Poor People” and “Outside the Game.” By the way, Tarasov writes poetry and composes songs.
The personal life of Dmitry Tarasov is full of surprises; he met his future wives by chance and loved them unrequitedly until he met his next love. Dmitry is a person who, for the sake of his new love, is ready to change his previous passion, so he does not remain on friendly terms with them.
The beginning of Tarasov's football career
Quite quickly, Tarasov began to take part in youth games, where he was noticed by Ivakin Valentin Gavrilovich, the coach of the Spartak team. Ivakin invited Dmitry to join his team. The young athlete played quite successfully for Spartak: in 2004, he played in the youth team of this team.
Dmitry Tarasov in childhood
In 2006, Tarasov’s contract with Spartak expired; in addition, the athlete had friction with the club’s leaders. The fact is that Spartak did not really need a young football player. And Tarasov could only remain in the club in his old positions for several more years, which did not contribute to the athlete’s career growth. Therefore, after graduating from SDYUSHOR, Dmitry Tarasov gladly accepted the offer to play for the Tom sports club and moved from Moscow to Tomsk. Of course, Dmitry’s parents were not delighted with their son’s decision to leave for the provinces.
Dmitry Tarasov with a coach in childhood and now
Tarasov spent three seasons in Tomsk. Not all the games went brilliantly: several times the football player was sent off the field, and a number of matches were simply disastrous for the young athlete. Tarasov's overall record in Tom is quite modest - only two goals in 54 games.
In 2009, Dmitry Tarasov became a player of the Moscow club. And here the results of the games were clearly not encouraging: two goals in 25 matches. And although the athlete scored few goals, playing in the national championship, Tarasov managed to achieve key positions in the team. Honored Coach of Russia Guus Hiddink drew attention to him. The coach invited the promising athlete to the main football club in Russia for training. There was a lot of competition in the national team, and therefore at first there was no place for the young midfielder in it. As part of the team, Dmitry Tarasov entered the field as a mid-line player only in 2013.

In 2009, the young people had a high-profile wedding, and they had a daughter. Oksana devoted quite a lot of time to training and too little to her husband. Dmitry became interested in Olga Buzova, who caused the breakdown of the marriage in 2011.

During the marriage, a luxurious mansion was purchased for 100,000,000 rubles; they strived to become parents, however, nothing worked out. At the same time, two Yorkshire terriers appeared in the family, which Olga considered her children.
Everything collapsed almost immediately after Olga Buzova admitted that she could not have children.

According to Olya, Dmitry did this in order to calmly leave for a new passion.
T-shirt scandal
In February 2021, Dmitry Tarasov became the central figure in a scandalous story: during the Lokomotiv match against the Turkish Fenerbahçe (Turkish: Fenerbahçe), which took place in the capital of Turkey, Dmitry took off his playing T-shirt, under which was a T-shirt with the image of Vladimir Putin and the inscription “the most polite president.”

The guys separated, however, after some time information appeared on the Internet that the young people had suddenly reconciled and would live together. There was a rumor that Olya and Dima even vacationed together in the Maldives.
Fans noticed that not everything was so smooth in the lives of young people when Buzova stopped posting new posts and joint photos on her Instagram page. They were shocked by Olga’s confession that she was lonely and did not have a close and understanding person nearby.
Another suspicious point was that Buzova appeared without a partner at the presentation of her long-awaited and prestigious award. She went all-in and for the first time did not support her husband during the next operation.
The divorce did not take long to happen and took place in 2021. The reasons for the dissolution of the marriage were infidelity on both sides, as well as the fact that Olga began to talk about the child.

Dmitry even took away his beloved wife’s car and rights to the mansion.
