February 28 visiting the show's hosts Week & Star by Alexander Generozov and Lena Rodak visited by one of the funniest people on the planet, a popular TV presenter, actor, screenwriter, as well as an ex-member of the KVN team “Ural Dumplings” - Sergey Netievsky.

Missed Sunday's Week & Star? Read the interview with Sergei, and you will learn the most interesting details from the professional and personal life of the artist!

Sasha: Brutal Ural guys, with an amazingly strong and funny show “Ural Dumplings”! Probably everyone who watches TV at least occasionally knows them. Charismatic, positive and funny, no nutritionist will object to such dumplings! When one of the show's creators announced his departure from the team last year, we were shocked! How? Where? For what? Friends, today Sergei Netievsky himself, a man who has invested a considerable part of himself in the show, one of its founders, will tell you what he is doing now, what he plans to do, and whether one dumpling on a big plate is boring! Hello, Sergey! You've been sailing solo for six months... Or not solo? Tell us who you work with!

Sergey Netievsky: In single, solo swimming. As a producer, I am implementing new projects that I have long dreamed of implementing, but did not have enough time. Of course, “dumplings” took up most of the working time. This is a wonderful project, but there comes a time when you want to do something of your own, to realize your dreams, otherwise there will be people who will do them faster, for you.

Lena: Screenwriter, producer, artist - who are you most now?

Sergey Netievsky: Yes, I’m somehow in different guises, nothing is alien. Of course, the producer’s role probably prevails a little, because I know and understand how to turn a group into a television project that can be aired.

Sasha: Parting after two decades of working side by side. Was it hard for you?

Sergey Netievsky: You are always moving forward. You look at what awaits you ahead, it is always with anticipation. Living off the nostalgia that was somewhere, once in the past. You need to move forward, and when you plunge into this wave, into a new whirlpool, new adrenaline, new sensations. The new projects that I am currently doing with my production, they excite me very much.

Sasha: What kind of projects?

Sergey Netievsky: We are launching the “League of Improvisations”, this is the first all-Russian festival. We unite all groups that engage in the genre of improvisation. This is a new movement, we have been moving it for three years together with Sasha Pushny in our “Show from the Air”. The show on TNT appeared with the same name. This suggests that the direction is popular.

Lena: We prepare a certificate for all guests. This is what we got for you, Sergey. Listen.

Sasha: Sergei was born on the banks of Tagil, studied at the Ural Polytechnic Institute, was even a store director - and where, one wonders, is the humor here? But humor was always there, you just had to get into KVN, and then it began! Rise to the big leagues, the title of “the last champions of the 20th century”, TV shows, tours – a great path! Since 2015, in solo projects, Sergey is also a screenwriter, TV presenter and producer. “Seasons of Love”, “Freaks”, “Unreal Story” - these are just some of the projects with his participation! Yes, it really is an unreal story!

Sergey Netievsky: There was a lot, yes.

Lena: Sergey, you have an engineering degree in an absolutely humanitarian field. Is this truly universal education?

Sergey Netievsky: You can say that I work in my specialty. My specialty is mechanical engineering technology. So the technology, it is actually the same in the production of the show, the same stages. Everything is divided into small stages, you must divide complex tasks into easy paths and quietly move progressively from one to another in order to achieve results.

Lena: How did you get into KVN? University team?

Sergey Netievsky: Yes, of course, a university team. It was a long time ago, 1994, we started playing in KVN, got into the major leagues and off we went. This is in the past, now I am more interested in the projects that I do, starting from the huge background that I had as a student, when I was doing KVN, when I was doing the show. Now I want to do something new, the world is moving.

Sasha: Comedians, as a rule, dream of playing Hamlet, of drama. Don’t you want to try something unfunny or sad?

Sergey Netievsky: I really want to. I really want to play something non-humorous. I go to both directing and acting courses. Of course, there is such a distant, deep, I hope, achievable dream, to play some kind of dramatic role.

Sasha: Sergey, the name seems clear, “League of Improvisations”, that is, no framework at all?

Sergey Netievsky: One might say, practically none. We have several engines, several improvisational forms in which we will play. We are now collecting applications from all interested teams, there are not many of them, we know almost all of them. There are about 20 groups that work professionally. If we don’t know someone, we are happy to invite everyone, go to the website ligaimpro.ru, register, send your applications.

Lena: What are the application requirements?

Sergey Netievsky: The name of the group, a short resume of where you are participating and, preferably, send at least some video so that we can see how the guys behave on stage. Next we select and invite you here. We will have three days: April 8, 9 and 10 at the Central House of Artists. There will be qualifying games, master classes, trainings, brainstorming sessions, and the generation of new ideas. We have an interesting, extensive program there.

Lena: Will there be a winner and what awaits him?

Sergey Netievsky: Yes, there will be a winner. The title and money are usually of interest to everyone. On April 10 there will be a gala concert, which will include the best groups, and they will compete for the title of the best improvisational group.

Sasha: Sasha Pushnoy is with you in this project. So there is also a musical part?

Sergey Netievsky: We are currently negotiating with Sasha Pushny, there is an idea to do musical improvisation inside. What are we doing? We have complete improvisation: improvisation with a partner, with text, with space, with music, with a stage, with an audience. You try to liberate your brain in all directions. This is a very interesting direction, which is why we are trying to promote it.

Lena: How interesting is it to the viewer?

Sergey Netievsky: Here’s the point: not everyone will make it to the gala concert, but only those who can create some kind of coherent story in a short time on stage so that it is understandable to the viewer. It's interesting to watch. This is an entertaining and humorous project.

Lena: For those who can't watch it live, will there be a TV version?

Sergey Netievsky: We will film a pilot, which we will send to a TV channel. We really hope this turns into a show.

Lena: Time for a quick poll on Europa Plus. Short question - short answer.

Three greatest comedians of all time according to Sergei Netievsky?

Sergey Netievsky: Petrosyan, Galustyan, Martirosyan.

Favorite cuisine, dish. What can you cook yourself?

Sergey Netievsky: Dumplings. I can cook them with different, different fillings.

Is it true that people who make others laugh professionally are gloomy misanthropes in everyday life?

Sergey Netievsky: Well no, of course not. It's like the law of conservation of energy... True!

Who is your main critic? Whose opinion do you trust?

Sergey Netievsky: Parents.

Is it true that speaking at a corporate event is more exhausting than any other?

Sergey Netievsky: Of course of course. All your energy, all your strength is sucked out of you.

Are you a superstitious person?

Sergey Netievsky: Probably not.

Is it normal to use obscenities or euphemisms?

Sergey Netievsky: I think yes.

What do you consider your main weakness?

Sergey Netievsky: Laziness.

Are you afraid to fly? Were you afraid before?

Sergey Netievsky: No, but I haven’t jumped with a parachute yet.

What programs do you watch on TV?

Sergey Netievsky: I watch very little TV. I watch a lot of foreign TV series and programs. From the humorous side, I sometimes watch: Urgant, Comedy Club, KVN, news.

Would you support moving the capital of Russia to the center of the country, say to the Urals?

Sergey Netievsky: It would be unexpected. The air is cleaner there.

Favorite hour of the day?

Sergey Netievsky: An hour before bed.

Have you been betrayed? Can this be forgiven and forgotten?

Sergey Netievsky: There were times when I was betrayed, but I am not vindictive. I quickly cool down and forgive. I approach this very philosophically. Everyone has the right to make a mistake and has the right to correct it.

Did you have a nickname in childhood and does it still remain?

Sergey Netievsky: Yes, there were, different. There are none left now. When I was a student, my name was Basyan or Basya, this is from the village where I come from. Village Basyanovsky.

There is a time machine in front of you, where will you go?

Sergey Netievsky: Oh. Immediately the thought arose to go back in time and correct some mistakes. It's more interesting to look into the future.

Sasha: Sergey, humor is a fickle substance, for example, I see two opposing trends: jokes have practically disappeared from life, but stand-up has become one of the most relevant genres. What happened to jokes? Why is stand-up growing so much?

Sergey Netievsky: Probably every humor has its time. There were jokes when there were a lot of prohibitions, some kind of allegory was needed. Now, in principle, there is no particular censorship; you can talk about anything you want. A stand-up comedian is a person who lets himself through and gives the viewer information, his attitude to the topic he is talking about.

Lena: Sergey, let’s say a guy or girl is a great joker, the life of the party. What's next? Do you need to penetrate the big media in any way - TV, radio? Or maybe a good video channel, say on Youtube, will be enough?

Sergey Netievsky: There are so many opportunities on the Internet now. You can shoot a video at home at minimal cost and post it on the Internet. In principle, you can promote yourself via the Internet.

Sasha: KVN has always been a good place to start, how are things going now?

Sergey Netievsky: Similar. This is still a source of talent. Those who come out from there, they are all in demand.

Sasha: Sergey, you also have a project called “Theatre Games”. Are you aiming for serious dramatic art or are these primarily games?

Sergey Netievsky: We are launching a casting call for STEM teams. These are groups that, as it happens, did not go to KVN and did not go to Comedy. Student theater of variety miniatures, but they are not exactly student theaters, they have turned into mini-studios, theater groups, mini-theatres. There are a lot of them around the country. There are about 15 festivals across the country where such groups compete. We want to collect them. Teams that have something to show can send their applications to stemshow.fxmedia.ru. First round – we select based on the video. Secondly, we help refine the materials they have. About 20 teams will be invited to Moscow, where filming and knockout games will take place.

Sasha: What kind of “Show out of thin air” then?

Sergey Netievsky:“Show Out of Air” is the improv show that started it all, and that’s where the “League of Improv” was born. This is what we did with Sasha Pushny, and are going to do in the future, together with Theater 05, this is our team from St. Petersburg, the best improvisers today. “Show from the Air” is a concert version, but we filmed a pilot and are showing it to TV channels.

Lena: TV series. Will you continue this experience?

Sergey Netievsky: I like to move more towards the show, something that I understand more how to do. TV series... There are mega-professionals, the guys on TNT - such a high bar.

Sasha: Sergey, the week is ending, and we propose to go through the main events. We will read out the news that excited us, and you will give your short comment, let's go?

In the US, one company intends to release the world's first flying car by 2018.It has retractable wings with 300 hp engines, with which it can reach a speed of 322 km/h. The only thing the driver will have to do when entering the cab is to start the control computer and enter the address. The rest will be done automatically. A flying car could go on sale no later than 2025. Sergey, will you buy yourself such a car?

Sergey Netievsky: That is, nothing will change in Moscow until 25?! In the same way, it takes 4 hours to drive from home to the airport, and 2 hours to fly to Yekaterinburg. Let's see in 2025, it will be possible to fly.

Two news that my feed brought me in a row: British scientists have identified 25 signs of suffering in cats, at the same time, physicists from Chicago have discovered a tetraquark - a new particle! In simple terms, it is one of the products of proton-antiproton collisions. Whose discovery excited you more, Sergey?

Sergey Netievsky: The tetraquark is more interesting.

Sergey Netievsky: I did not like.

A young scientist from Tomsk said that the content of the first film of the fantastic saga “Star Wars” is 96 percent a copy of the Soviet film fairy tale “Kashchei the Immortal.” He also claims that Harry Potter is a remake of our Cinderella.

Sergey Netievsky: Wow! Even if this is true, these are cool interpretations! I'm waiting for Geese and Swan to make some kind of sequel.

A personal fitness trainer took an unprecedented step to help his client.For three months he did not exercise and ate high-calorie foods, consuming up to 8,000 calories a day, resulting in a gain of 30 kg. And all this in order to lose weight together with the client. The couple worked in tandem for four months, and both lost weight as a result.

Sergey Netievsky: This is great! It’s my 45th birthday in a month, and I thought, I wish I could lose 200 grams a day and start running. This is an action!

Sasha: We discussed global news, how was your week? What is the focus?

Sergey Netievsky: I played hockey in the Komar team, a wonderful hockey team of artists.

Lena: Your 45th birthday is coming soon. What are your feelings?

Sergey Netievsky: March 27, yes, 45 years old. I suddenly learned that 45 years is a milestone. Up to 45, a man is considered an adult. From 45 to 65 is mature. I'm becoming mature. What do you think every man should do before he turns 45? I have exactly a month left to catch up. Register on my social networks and send me a summary of “What you need to do before you turn 45.”

Sasha: People believe that Monday is a hard day. Do you have a recipe for making your first day at work easy?

Sergey Netievsky: On Sunday evening, think a little, sort out what needs to be done first on Monday, what needs to be done second, what needs to be done third. Be sure to leave time for your personal life, for normal food, for your family.

Sasha:, thank you very much for coming to us, come again! Good luck in your new projects, surprise us to the fullest!

Lena: Let me remind you that you can listen to the Week & Star show on podcasts. Download them via iTunes, and also download them via the Internet portal chameleon.fm

Sasha: And we say goodbye to you for exactly a week, we will meet on Sunday, at 17.00 Moscow time. Were with you Alexander Generozov and Lena Rodak, Bye!

At the end of October, “Ural Dumplings” held a meeting at which the show participants decided to. The decision can be called collegial - according to the constituent documents, all team members who, to one degree or another, own a stake in the Ural Dumplings Creative Association company have the right to vote.

The team explained the sudden resignation of its director by the fact that Sergei Netievsky is busy (he is the producer of Idea Fix Media and the founder of First Hand Media), rarely appears in Yekaterinburg and, therefore, can no longer effectively fulfill his duties. The team says that all changes have already been legally enshrined.

From now on, the director of the group is Sergei Isaev. We met with the new leader of the Ural Dumplings and asked what he would do better than Netievsky.

The resignation of Sergei Netievsky, who had held the position of director for the last 17 years, came as a big surprise to everyone. Many rumors appeared, including that the reason for the resignation was a financial conflict. What happened?
- Everything is quite simple here. Sergei felt cramped in Yekaterinburg and, no matter how it may sound, he exchanged our city for Moscow. Sergei himself has said more than once in interviews that he has become a Muscovite, that he is much more comfortable in the capital, that he feels like a fish in water there. In other words, Sergei ceased to be a “dumpling in a pan” and became a “fish in water.”

All this affected his work at Ural Dumplings. You cannot compose something, be in close contact with the team, be at training camps, while remaining in Moscow. We ourselves are not going to move to Moscow. We decided for ourselves a long time ago that the rehearsal base would be where our parents and children live.

As for rumors about political or financial disputes, we do not even comment on this. If you comment on something, it means that you begin to relate to it somehow, reason, analyze, make excuses... We don’t want to make excuses to anyone. We are honest with each other. We have no behind-the-scenes games, no kitchen secrets. It's funny for us to read about this in the media.

- Will Netievsky remain on the team?
- No one was kicked out, no one was fired. Now Sergey will be working on his projects in Moscow, and we wish him success in this. I think time will tell. If Sergei Netievsky wants to continue working in the team, then we will sit down with him and discuss everything.

It is normal that someone goes on a separate voyage. At one time, Sergei Svetlakov left, but no one caused a tragedy about this. If Svetlakov wants to take part in the concert, he will come and say: “Guys, I have time. Can?" - we will answer: “Grey, no questions!” We have no prohibition on communicating with this or that person.

Next year is the anniversary of KVN, followed by the anniversary of Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov. I think that the show “Ural Dumplings” will take part in it. We already have a preliminary invitation. We will be happy to invite both Sergei Svetlakov and Sergei Netievsky.

- Sergei Netievsky worked on the New Year's show, and if so, in what capacity?
- He did not work on the last two shows as a writer, director or manager.

- Did you and other team members manage to maintain friendly relations with him?
- Certainly. I think that this is such a feature of the Urals - we are kind, reasonable people. Normal, friendly relationships are important to us, because it’s easier to live this way. I won't say that we are as pure as white snow. You won't find white snow here now. (laughs - site note). Of course, everyone has their own character, their own material values, each of us has their own energy, each of us has our own faith. But the main value is decency and kind attitude towards each other, which we will always maintain as a team.

It was largely thanks to Sergei Netievsky that several years ago an agreement was concluded with the STS television company to broadcast the show “Ural Dumplings”. This helped the team reach the federal level. How would you evaluate Netievsky’s work now?
- I will not underestimate what Sergei did. He really brought the finished project to the STS TV channel to our good comrade Vyacheslav Murugov (adviser to the general director of the media holding "STS Media", - website note), with whom we are familiar from KVN. Vyacheslav gave us the opportunity to appear on STS and gain a foothold on the TV channel. But today we are an independent project. We do everything ourselves: from writing jokes to filming, editing and broadcasting. We do not depend on the production, on the manager, on the mood of the people on the channel. We are an interesting, competitive program. This became possible thanks to each of the team members. What we see at STS is the work of all the guys.

- Why did you become the new director?
- The position itself is appointed. The guys trust me, so they unanimously voted for me to take over.

- Was the appointment unexpected for you?
“It wasn’t some kind of surprise; rather, I was pleased with it.” The team entrusted me with the steering wheel! You can go right, you can go left, give gas, or just stand there and warm up the engine. It is important not to screw up the mechanism that is in your hands. Therefore, I try to treat it with trepidation: I warm it up on time, refuel it, do maintenance, clean it if necessary, change something, improve it.

In fact, this is a constant job, 24 hours a day. I have to deal with issues that I cannot put off until tomorrow. You need to answer here and now. Sometimes it happens that an issue requires a collegial discussion, but there is simply no time to consult with everyone, then I take responsibility for myself and make decisions for the entire team. This is perhaps the most difficult thing. But you need to be prepared for this. If I don’t have time to do something, the guys help.

What was the first management decision you made in your new position? Will you radically change the system that Sergei Netievsky built?
- We have several changes planned, which we discussed with the whole team. My task in this case was to carefully convey the tasks that we have to solve. There will be changes in the posters, in our name, brand. Our work with partners, with services that constantly work behind the scenes of the show, will change. Few people think about it, but 130 people work at the Ural Dumplings concert. These are make-up artists, costume designers, decorators, props specialists, catering service, transport service, people who are involved in the selection of actors... My task in this case is to make sure that the team rises one step higher, reaches a new level.

- What is the next level for Ural Dumplings?
- Now we are faced with the task of maintaining popularity and continuing to develop in the format of a family show, not to go into commercial humor, which sometimes slips through. I want us to remain the “Ural dumplings” from Yekaterinburg that everyone knows now. New projects are also planned. Many on the team are interested in making sitcoms, feature films, sports shows...

- All this on STS?
- We do not plan to leave the channel, we are happy with everything. We hear each other, the audience sees us. We recently spoke with the general directors of STS. They made it clear that they were interested in our new projects and offered us more television time before the New Year. We have very big plans, which I can’t talk about yet. In order for everything to go as expected, we made changes in the management team. I hope that new people who have extensive experience in launching different projects will help us show a new side of ourselves.

An excerpt characterizing Netievsky, Sergei Alexandrovich

Sergey Aleksandrovich Netievsky is a Russian actor, TV presenter, screenwriter, general producer of Idea Fix Media, former member of the KVN team “Ural Dumplings”.

Childhood and youth

Born on March 27, 1971 in the village of Basyanovsky, Verkhnesaldinsky district. Here he received his secondary education at school No. 12. After graduating, he entered the Ural Polytechnic Institute. In 1993 he graduated and received an engineer's diploma with a specialty in Mechanical Engineering Development.

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 1998 semi-finals, 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.

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. Sergei gets used to the role of the lazy tramp Peter, begging for alms from merchants passing by. In parallel with this, he acts as a screenwriter for the popular, audience-favorite comedy “Freaks.”

As an artist, Sergei Netievsky participated in the show program “The Beard is Crushed,” where he performed in a duet with the team “Not Guys” with the vocal number “Acquaintance in a Bar.”

In the fall of 2012, the STS TV channel aired the competition project “MyasorUPka”, in which groups of 2-5 people participate in 3-5 minute performances in the style of “Dumplings” sketches. In each round, the jury eliminates participants, and the winners receive 500 thousand rubles. Sergey is not only a producer and jury member of this show, but also a creator and mentor of teams.

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. But for now, Sergei’s filmography consists of only one film, “Monsters on the Island 3D,” in the dubbing of which the artist participated in 2013.

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.

At the end of 2015, Netievsky disappears from the screen, and in the latest episodes of the Ural Dumplings show, the place of the director is taken by. 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.

Personal life

Information appeared in the media that Netievsky was in 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 page "Instagram" Not family photos are posted, but photographs of participants in projects in which Sergei participates. The artist’s height is 182 cm, and his weight does not exceed 85 kg.

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 2016, 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. On STS, Sergei appeared in the show “One Hundred to One”. Netievsky’s producing project was the program “League of Improvisations,” which he launched in 2017.

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 parties on the eve of 2018. Netievsky participated in the Multimir festival for children, which took place in the summer of 2017 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.

The trial took place in early 2018. 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 Yulia Mikhalkova. The rest of the Ural Dumplings colleagues prefer not to communicate with the producer due to the protracted conflict.

A year later, he began producing the improvisational program “Show from the Air”, also becoming its host together with Alexander Pushny.

A year later, the star left her native KVN team, but not of her own free will, but by the decision of her colleagues. Sergei did not agree and appealed the decision in court, after which in the fall of 2016 the actor was reinstated as the director of the group.
