Sergei Netievsky in his youth
Sergei Netievsky is considered one of the most mysterious members of the Ural Dumplings team, part-time director of a TV show on the STS channel, concert host and actor. His biography is full of interesting events related to his participation in “Dumplings” and work on television. After graduating from Polytechnic, he combines participation in KVN with work as a director in a hardware store.
The popularity of “Ural dumplings” grew rapidly. The team toured extensively, preparation for performances required not only time, but also responsibility. Netievsky had to make a choice between a job that promised a business career and participation in a popular show. The artistic nature of Sergei Netievsky chose the club of cheerful and resourceful people.
Creation
1995 became a landmark year for the team, when “Ural Dumplings” took part in the festival in Sochi. Unexpectedly for themselves, they get into the gala concert and into the KVN Major League based on the results of the festival.

The period from 1995 to 2000 was complex and eventful, filled with creativity. In 1995, Ural Dumplings fell out of the 1/8. In 1996 they were already in 1/4, but lost again, and in 1997 they finished the season in 1/8. In the semi-finals of 1998, the Urals lost to the future champions - “Children of Lieutenant Schmidt”. At this time, Sergei makes a difficult decision: he quits his job at the store and becomes a team manager.
The year 2000 becomes triumphant for Pelmeni. Overcoming all stages, they win and become the best in the Major League, receiving the unofficial status of “the last champion of the twentieth century.”

In 2002, the team received the KVN Summer Cup (the team participated in the Cup games three times - in 2001, 2002 and 2003). In 2001, Sergei made his debut as an actor, starring in a comedy series on television called “Outside Native Square Meters.”
The team achieves significant success by participating in the “Voting KiViN” in Jurmala. In 2002 they became the owners of the “Big KiViN in Gold”, in 1999 and 2004 – the “Big KiViN in Light”, and in 2005 and 2006 – the “Big KiViN in the Dark”.

In 2007, as part of the Ural Dumplings, Sergei participated in the game between Asia and Europe. The result was a draw. In the same year, in September, he becomes a producer and presenter on the TNT television channel. A new humorous sketch show is being released under the name “Show News”. The preparation of the program was carried out by the creative team of “Ural Dumplings” commissioned by Comedy Club Production.
In 2009, the STS TV channel aired its own Ural Dumplings show called “Blaze It All... With a Horse!” The first official release took place in Moscow. Sergei Netievsky was remembered by TV viewers for his vivid images - the busty teacher Malvina Karlovna, one of the trio of mosquitoes, the head of a typical Russian family on vacation.
Showman and comedian Sergei Netievsky
In 2011, the STS TV channel launched a new project, “Unreal Stories,” of which Sergey became the creative producer. The project format is a sketch show with a constant storyline and characters.

The best from Sergei Netievsky
In May 2013, Netievsky became a member of the jury of the “Creative Class” project, an analogue of the English mental show “Nation’s brightest” for schoolchildren.
On November 8, 2013, the anniversary concert of “Ural Dumplings” took place in the Kremlin Palace under the title “20 years in the test!”
In 2013-2014, Sergei studied directing and screenwriting courses. Thus, he plans to make his long-standing dream of making a feature film with the participation of “Ural Dumplings” come true. He is developing a sitcom on a family theme, and is conducting post-production of a documentary about the twenty-year history of the popular team.

In March 2014, pilot episodes of “Show from the Air” will start – a 100% improvisational project in which the presenter communicates with the audience. Sergei is the producer and TV presenter of the program. His co-host is Alexander Pushnoy.
At the end of 2015, Netievsky disappears from the screen, and in the latest episodes of the Ural Dumplings show, Sergei Isaev takes the place of the director. The team surprised fans with the scandal that broke out within the creative association.
It was not possible to get an answer from the producer himself as to why he left Ural Dumplings, since Sergei did not answer calls. According to Sergei’s colleagues, he was “kicked out for theft.” A financial conflict led to the disintegration of the team. Netievsky still lives in Moscow, is the owner of Idea Fix Media and produces TV series.

In 2015, he left his post as director of the Ural Dumplings Show[4] and is currently developing his own projects.
The Arbitration Court of the Sverdlovsk Region upheld the claim of Sergei Netievsky regarding the illegality of his removal from the post of director of the Ural Dumplings show, according to court materials. Previously, by decision of the team meeting, Sergei Isaev was appointed to this position. Netievsky did not agree with this decision and went to court. “The claim will be satisfied in full,” the court materials say.[5]
Personal life
Information appeared in the media that Yulia Mikhalkova and Netievsky had a relationship that was closer than friendly, but these rumors were not confirmed. Sergei's personal life was going well. In the early 2000s, the actor had a family, his beloved wife Natalya and children. He has three children: Timofey (2002), Ivan (2005) and Maria (2007).

He enjoys computers, cars, yoga and traveling around India. Natalya does not work, she takes care of the house and children. Sergei does not like to advertise his family life; even on his Instagram page, it is not family photos that are posted, but photographs of participants in projects in which Sergei participates.

Sergei Netievsky with his daughter
In 2015, Netievsky changed his marital status. On June 22, Sergei and Natalia divorced. The wife remained in Yekaterinburg with the children, and the producer went to Moscow to build a new life.
Sergey Netievsky now
In 2021, Sergei Netievsky began collaborating with the Moscow 24 TV channel, where his original project “Ear of Moscow” was broadcast, and a year later the “News Battle Prevention” program was released.

In addition to working on television, the artist performs at corporate events. Interactive program “Show out of thin air!” was a success at New Year's corporate events on the eve of 2021. Netievsky participated in the Multimir festival for children, which took place in the summer of 2021 on the territory of the VDNKh pavilions.
Even before the divorce, the comedian began investing in real estate and cars. At the time of his departure to the capital of Russia, Sergei’s car fleet consisted of several luxury cars and a BMW motorcycle. In Moscow, in a house on Pogonny Proezd, more than one apartment was purchased from Netievsky. Along with his main business, Sergei became a co-owner of the LOS ISLAND fitness club. Such expenses, incommensurate with the earnings of colleagues at Ural Dumplings, who live much more modestly than their former leader, may have given rise to the idea of stolen millions. Based on them, KVN members sued the producer.
Sergey Netievsky
The trial took place in early 2021. Sergei was charged with illegally appropriating 28 million rubles, earned from broadcasting episodes of the show “Ural Dumplings”. While the rest of the project participants and its co-founders, owners of equal shares of the Creative Association, received salaries, Sergei Netievsky allegedly appropriated all the profits for himself. But Netievsky’s lawyers managed to convince the judges of the legality of his actions.
The Yekaterinburg Arbitration Court sided with the producer. The recognition of Sergei Netievsky as having resigned as the head of the show was declared invalid, and subsequent directors were declared illegitimate. Now Sergei Netievsky maintains relations only with Andrei Rozhkov and Yulia Mikhalkova. The rest of the Ural Dumplings colleagues prefer not to communicate with the producer due to the protracted conflict.
An excerpt characterizing Netievsky, Sergei Alexandrovich
“We deigned to lie down and put out the fire, your Excellency.” “No reason, no reason...” the prince said quickly and, putting his feet into his shoes and his hands into his robe, went to the sofa on which he was sleeping. Despite the fact that nothing was said between Anatole and m lle Bourienne, they completely understood each other regarding the first part of the novel, before the appearance of pauvre mere, they realized that they had a lot to say to each other secretly, and therefore in the morning they looked for an opportunity see you alone. While the princess went to her father at the usual hour, m lle Bourienne met with Anatole in the winter garden. Princess Marya approached the office door that day with special trepidation. It seemed to her that not only did everyone know that her fate would be decided today, but that they also knew what she thought about it. She read this expression in Tikhon’s face and in the face of Prince Vasily’s valet, who met the hot water in the corridor and bowed low to her. The old prince that morning was extremely affectionate and diligent in his treatment of his daughter. Princess Marya knew this expression of diligence well. This was the expression that happened on his face in those moments when his dry hands clenched into a fist out of frustration because Princess Marya did not understand the arithmetic problem, and he, getting up, walked away from her and repeated the same words several times in a quiet voice. the same words. He immediately got down to business and started the conversation by saying “you.” “They made me a proposition about you,” he said, smiling unnaturally. “I think you guessed,” he continued, “that Prince Vasily came here and brought with him his pupil (for some reason Prince Nikolai Andreich called Anatoly his pupil) not for my beautiful eyes.” Yesterday they made a proposition about you. And since you know my rules, I treated you. – How should I understand you, mon pere? - said the princess, turning pale and blushing. - How to understand! – the father shouted angrily. “Prince Vasily finds you to his liking for his daughter-in-law and makes a proposal to you for his pupil. Here's how to understand it. How to understand?!... And I’m asking you. “I don’t know how you are, mon pere,” the princess said in a whisper. - I? I? what am I doing? Leave me aside. I'm not the one getting married. What do you? This is what it would be good to know. The princess saw that her father looked at this matter unkindly, but at that very moment the thought came to her that now or never the fate of her life would be decided. She lowered her eyes so as not to see the gaze, under the influence of which she felt that she could not think, but could only obey out of habit, and said: “I wish only one thing - to fulfill your will,” she said, “but if my desire it was necessary to express... She did not have time to finish. The prince interrupted her. “And wonderful,” he shouted. - He will take you with a dowry, and by the way, he will capture m lle Bourienne. She will be a wife, and you... The prince stopped. He noticed the impression these words made on his daughter. She lowered her head and was about to cry. “Well, well, just kidding, just kidding,” he said. “Remember one thing, princess: I adhere to the rules that a girl has every right to choose.” And I give you freedom. Remember one thing: the happiness of your life depends on your decision. There's nothing to say about me. - Yes, I don’t know... mon pere. - Nothing to say! They tell him, he doesn’t just marry you, whoever you want; and you are free to choose... Go to your room, think it over and in an hour come to me and say in front of him: yes or no. I know you will pray. Well, maybe pray. Just think better. Go. Yes or no, yes or no, yes or no! - he shouted even as the princess, as if in a fog, staggered out of the office. Her fate was decided and decided happily. But what my father said about m lle Bourienne - this hint was terrible. It’s not true, let’s face it, but it was still terrible, she couldn’t help but think about it. She walked straight ahead through the winter garden, seeing and hearing nothing, when suddenly the familiar whisper of M lle Bourienne woke her up. She raised her eyes and, two steps away, saw Anatole, who was hugging the Frenchwoman and whispering something to her. Anatole, with a terrible expression on his beautiful face, looked back at Princess Marya and did not release the waist of m lle Bourienne, who did not see her, at the first second. "Who is here? For what? Wait!" Anatole’s face seemed to speak. Princess Marya looked at them silently. She couldn't understand it. Finally, M lle Bourienne screamed and ran away, and Anatole bowed to Princess Marya with a cheerful smile, as if inviting her to laugh at this strange incident, and, shrugging his shoulders, walked through the door leading to his half. An hour later Tikhon came to call Princess Marya. He called her to the prince and added that Prince Vasily Sergeich was there. The princess, when Tikhon arrived, was sitting on the sofa in her room and holding the crying Mlla Bourienne in her arms. Princess Marya quietly stroked her head. The beautiful eyes of the princess, with all their former calm and radiance, looked with tender love and regret at the pretty face of m lle Bourienne. “Non, princesse, je suis perdue pour toujours dans votre coeur, [No, princess, I have forever lost your favor,” said m lle Bourienne. – Pourquoi? “Je vous aime plus, que jamais,” said Princess Marya, “et je tacherai de faire tout ce qui est en mon pouvoir pour votre bonheur.” [Why? I love you more than ever, and I will try to do everything in my power for your happiness.] – Mais vous me meprisez, vous si pure, vous ne comprendrez jamais cet egarement de la passion. Ah, ce n'est que ma pauvre mere... [But you are so pure, you despise me; you will never understand this fascination of passion. Ah, my poor mother...] “Je comprends tout, [I understand everything,” answered Princess Marya, smiling sadly. - Calm down, my friend. “I’ll go to my father,” she said and left. Prince Vasily, bending his leg high, with a snuffbox in his hands and as if extremely emotional, as if he himself was regretting and laughing at his sensitivity, sat with a smile of tenderness on his face when Princess Marya entered. He hurriedly brought a pinch of tobacco to his nose. “Ah, ma bonne, ma bonne, [Ah, darling, darling.],” he said, standing up and taking her by both hands. He sighed and added: “Le sort de mon fils est en vos mains.” Decidez, ma bonne, ma chere, ma douee Marieie qui j'ai toujours aimee, comme ma fille. [The fate of my son is in your hands. Decide, my dear, my dear, my gentle Marie, whom I have always loved like a daughter.]
