As a source told Life, the director of Ural Dumplings checked into the room on August 2 and since then has practically not left the hotel building. At the same time, dozens of alcohol bottles were found in the room.

Including those that may be associated with the results of prolonged neurosis. The fact is that the man was a plaintiff for almost six months 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 dumplings production" and " Creative association"Ural dumplings". The co-owners of both companies are the show's actors - Andrei Rozhkov, Dmitry Sokolov, Sergei Isaev, Dmitry Brekotkin, Vyacheslav Myasnikov, Maxim Yaritsa and others. Lyutikov worked as the general director of the Ural Dumplings Production company. Until the fall of 2015, the “creative association” was led by Sergei Netievsky, also a former “pelmen”.
Netievsky was removed from his post in 2015 as a result of a meeting of participants (according to constituent documents All team members who own shares in the company to one degree or another have the right to vote). At the same time, Netievsky continued to perform in numbers as an artist. Officially, Lyutikov then stated that Netievsky’s displacement was a simple management move in order to increase the efficiency of the show.
Netievsky, however, did not give up and in June 2016 challenged it in court own dismissal. The court invalidated the minutes of the meeting, as a result of which Netievsky was removed. As a result, Netievsky was reinstated as director.
The “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 court against Netievsky’s company “Fest Hand Media”. At one time, the “dumplings” entered into an agreement with her to grant exclusive rights to the trademark “Ural dumplings”.

Lyutikov, after Netievsky’s departure, stated that he had appropriated exclusive rights to the verbal trademark “Ural Dumplings”: the brand, he pointed out, should belong to the team.
In July, the parties almost made peace. Netievsky's lawyer said that his client is ready to reach a settlement agreement. However, no final decision was made: Lyutikov’s lawyer said that it was necessary to consult with the client. As a result, the court postponed 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.
Alexey Lyutikov, whose biography is presented in the article, was one of the most bright participants games in KVN. After leaving the Service Entrance team in 1997, he disappeared from the screens. His fate was little known to the average person until in August 2016 the media reported his death in a hotel in Yekaterinburg.
The path to KVN
A native of the small town of Fatezh (Kursk region), Alexey Lyutikov was born on June 2, 1974. He was born with a cleft lip and was subjected to ridicule and bullying from his peers. Even then, heart problems appeared, because the boy could not help but worry about childhood cruelty. Became a salvation school KVN, on the stage of which he caused deafening laughter auditorium. But this was a different kind of laughter - a reaction to witty jokes without making fun of him. appearance. An exciting game became his destiny.
The young man underwent five complex operations on his face, but the consequences of the congenital anomaly remained noticeable until the end of his days. Having developed for himself the principle that in life you can only rely on yourself, Alexey 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 “Service Entrance” team of Kursk residents.
Frontman of the KVN team
It didn’t take long for the young men to achieve their success. Already in 1997, they brilliantly reached the semi-finals, beating the popular Ural Dumplings team in a head-to-head meeting in the 1/8 finals. Among them, the captain stood out - Alexey Lyutikov, who uttered jokes with an absolutely serious expression on his face. He was followed with interest and was quoted as saying:
- “This is the country for the Jews, and the stop is behind us.”
- “We’re working off sponsorship bread with our butts.”
- “KVN treats calluses!”
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 relegated at an early stage, unable to progress to the professional level in the future.
Subsequent activities, personal life
Lyutikov managed to catch on in Moscow, but he never went on stage again. He started a family early, so he needed to get on his feet. Since 2006, Alexey Lyutikov began collaborating with the Comedy Club, heading the direction of regional development. His responsibilities included creating local branches of the stand-up club. In 2013, he began collaborating with Novy Channel, and in 2014 he became the executive producer of 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, born when Alexei was only 20, and a daughter, who was successfully studying rhythmic gymnastics. A little later she will join the youth team. Never missing important starts, in August 2016, for some reason, Alexey Lyutikov broke this tradition.
“Ural dumplings” - the showman’s latest project
“Ural dumplings” needed a professional who knew Moscow show business firsthand. In the summer of 2015, the team had a conflict with the director Netievsky, whose company owned the trademark of the creative team. Despite the fact that he brought the guys to STS and did a lot for the team, disagreements arose about further development project. He took over the leadership and there was no one to take care of affairs in Moscow. This is how Alexey Lyutikov appeared in Ural Dumplings.
He is credited with instigating the conflict and the legal battle, as a result of which Sergei Netievsky regained his position as head of the show. There was a process ahead to return the trademark to the founders. While dealing with financial affairs, Lyutikov presented the guys with documents, from which it followed that the manager’s income was significantly different from the artists’ fees. Be that as it may, he threw himself into work headlong, concluding an unprecedented contract for the team - 12 performances in Sochi in the summer of 2016. Upon returning from the tour on August 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 by a hotel maid on August 10. He spent the entire 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 thromboembolism, having fallen with his head on the table while losing consciousness. As a result, the face was injured by glass shards from a glass, so the version of violent death was initially put forward. The artist’s family refused to initiate a criminal case, admitting the fact of death from natural causes.
It remains a mystery why the showman did not fly to Moscow. These days, his daughter took part in demonstration performances, and for the first time her father was not in the hall. What was Alexey Lyutikov thinking about in the last hours? “Ural Dumplings” in an official statement recognized his contribution to the development of the creative team and expressed condolences to his family and loved ones. And rumors spread in the press about Lyutikov’s possible debts and the supposed termination of the contract with him.
It is truly a pity for real KVN fans that the once talented Kursk captain decided to leave the stage.
Pathologists have established the cause of death of the 42-year-old director of Ural Dumplings. It turned out that he died of cardiac arrest and suffered from dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). IN last years Lyutikov was diagnosed with a type of myocardial disease characterized by distension of the heart cavity, and then he developed progressive heart failure and heart rhythm disturbances.
The result was thromboembolism (acute blockage of a blood vessel by a blood clot), which ultimately led to death.
The body of the director of Ural Dumplings was discovered the day before, on August 10, by a maid in a room at the Angelo Hotel. It is known that the man had been staying at the hotel since August 2 and practically did not leave his room; he had a “Do not disturb” sign on his door. Alcohol bottles and various medications were found at the scene. The official representative for the Sverdlovsk region Alexander said "URA.Ru", that the initial task of criminologists was to find out whether the death had criminal character. “The final results of histological examinations, on the basis of which it will be possible to conclude the pre-investigation check, will be available only in 1.5 months. Polls continue,” Shulga added.
Lyutikov's death became a reason for discussion in in social networks. “Alexey went through a difficult, but interesting life path. He was a successful captain of the KVN team, a top manager of large productions, and a talented leader in the television industry,” the statement says. message, published in the official Pelmeni public page on VKontakte, Alexey did a lot for the Ural Dumplings project.
He put all his skill and accumulated experience into the show, brought it to a new level, and thanks to his efforts, the project had the opportunity to develop freely and independently, received a second wind, a second life.”
As noted in the statement, enormous 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 Alexey’s health. The post ends with words of condolences: “He passed away talented person, good friend, loving and beloved father and husband. The Ural Dumplings team expresses sincere condolences to the family and close relatives of Alexey Lyutikov. Alexey, we will always remember you and will continue all your endeavors!”
From open sources It is known that Lyutikov graduated from the Kursk Pedagogical Institute with a specialization in " social Psychology" In the early 90s, he became the captain of the KVN team “Service Entrance”, in which he reached the semi-finals of the game. In 2006-2011, Lyutikov also held one of the leadership positions at Comedy Club Production, and since 2013 he has been the director of his own production at the New Channel.
According to the Kartoteka.Ru database, Lyutikov was the general director of the company Ural Pelmeni Production LLC (registered as a micro-enterprise), a similar position is listed on the official website of Pelmeni. The founders of the company are, in fact, the entire team - Maxim Yaritsa and other stars with the exception of Sergei Netievsky. At the same time, there is another LLC “Creative Association “Ural Dumplings”, the founders of which are also the entire creative team. Now this company is undergoing legal proceedings - the fact is that Netievsky was previously its director, but subsequently the meeting of founders deprived him of this position, and he became the head of the company.
Now Netievsky is appealing this decision; in July his claim was granted by the court.
The aggravation of relations in the “Ural Dumplings” occurred, allegedly, because of Lyutikov: according to the Ural media, he allegedly found some documents confirming a large difference in the fees of team members. One of Netievsky’s friends, who was removed from leadership with a scandal, said that the conflict with Lyutikov was largely the reason for his departure. In addition, after Netievsky’s departure, Lyutikov stated that he had appropriated exclusive rights to the verbal trademark “Ural dumplings.” According to the deceased ex-director of Pelmeni, the brand should belong to all members of the team. The court hearing in this case with the participation of Lyutikov was supposed to take place in October 2016.
General director of the show "Ural dumplings" Alexey Lyutikov. He was found dead in a hotel in Yekaterinburg. The press service of “dumplings” reported that Lyutikov had health problems.
Enormous 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 Alexey’s health, the message says.
StarHit, citing forensic experts, reported that Lyutikov died due to dilated cardiomyopathy, a myocardial disease that caused stretching of the cavities of the heart. Alexey also developed heart failure and heart rhythm disturbances.
Representatives of the Sverdlovsk police found many empty alcohol bottles next to Lyutikov’s body. The general director of "Ural dumplings" did not leave his room for more than a week, and there was a "Do not disturb" sign on the door.
Lyutikov, like most comedians, began his career in KVN. In the early 90s, he became the captain of the KVN team "Service Entrance", in which he reached the semi-finals of the game. In 2006-2011, Lyutikov was one of the leaders of Comedy Club Production.
He became the director of Ural Dumplings in 2015 after the scandalous dismissal of Sergei Natievsky, writes Vector News. Allegedly, "Ural dumplings" brought much more money, what the team members thought, and Natievsky hid it. However, after the arrival of Lyutikov, disagreements continued in the team, which mainly concerned the fees of the show participants.
Lyutikov greatly stirred the waters,” a friend of Sergei Netievsky, who wished to remain anonymous, explained to KP. – Alexey was the catalyst for what happened. “Pelmeni” has been together for a million years. And over the years, the team always accumulates a lot of old grievances. Personally, it was not surprising to me that the director of the group, Netievsky, earned slightly more than other participants. Lyutikov competently aggravated the already sharp corners. He pointed out the difference in fees. I found some documents.
However, the team’s statement says that Lyutikov did a lot for the Ural Dumplings project.
He put all his skill and accumulated experience into the show, brought it to a new level, and thanks to his efforts, the project had the opportunity to develop freely and independently, received a second wind, a second life, the statement said.
