Solovyov continued to work in the new council and remained in it until the renewal of its composition in February 2009.


On the eve of the Russian presidential elections in 2004, the disgraced oligarch Boris Berezovsky summoned Solovyov to the UK and offered to support his candidacy in the 2004 presidential election. Solovyov refused, and after realizing from his words that Berezovsky's idea was to kill the candidate and accuse him of it Vladimir Putin published information about it in the press.

After the tragic events of the seizure of the school in Beslan, Solovyov became one of the organizers of the anti-terrorist rally supported by the authorities, but not by the opposition, on September 7, 2004 on Vasilyevsky Spusk in Moscow.

Scandals, rumors

As a radio and TV presenter, he repeatedly found himself at the center of public scandals: on October 19, 2006, he led a television debate between candidates for the chair of the mayor of Samara Georgy Limansky and Viktor Tarkhov. "Tell me why in your commercial projects you always came to the places of those killed?" Vladimir Solovyov asked Tarkhov. He left this question unanswered, as well as the TV presenter's remark that Mr. Tarkhov looked like a "bandos from the 90s", and left the studio.

And soon the already elected mayor filed a lawsuit against Solovyov for 10 million rubles for insulting him. A year and a half later, the court of first instance partially satisfied the claim, ruling to recover 70,000 rubles from the defendant.

In April 2008, an employee of the presidential administration Valery Boyev filed a lawsuit against Vladimir Solovyov for the protection of honor and dignity. In the Nightingale Trills program, the presenter made statements that compromised him: "There are no independent courts in Russia, there are courts dependent on Boev." However, in May of the same year, Boyev decided to withdraw the lawsuit.

In 2011, the religious community of the Mountain Jews of Azerbaijan sent a note of protest to the leadership of the radio station "Vesti FM", as well as to the Russian Jewish Congress, against Solovyov's statement about the Republic of Azerbaijan on the air of Vesti FM.

In February 2014, on the air of the program "Full Contact" on the radio "Vesti FM", Solovyov announced that "organized terrorist groups" were operating at the National Research University "Higher School of Economics" under the auspices of the Faculty of Applied Political Science, which were preparing the "Maidan underground".

The university considered this statement offensive and filed a lawsuit. The statement states that the university reacted negatively to both Solovyov’s statements and the students’ remarks, and attempts to link educational institution with the political position of the participants in the scandal is regarded there as a provocation.

In June 2014, a Cambodian-based businessman Sergei Polonsky appealed to the Savelovsky Court of Moscow with a claim for protection of honor and compensation for non-pecuniary damage in the amount of 200 million rubles against the Vesti FM radio station and journalist Vladimir Solovyov because of his statements on the air in November 2013.

In August 2014, he was included in the sanctions list by Ukraine for his position on the war in the East of Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea to Russia.

November 2014 For three weeks in a row, Vladimir Solovyov almost constantly mentioned the Governor of the Novosibirsk Region on his airs. Vladimir Gorodetsky- retelling various stories (for many years now and then appearing on the pages of regional publications) about the alleged facts of corruption that took place when Gorodetsky was the mayor of Novosibirsk.

Solovyov based his arguments mainly on "letters from residents" - while emphasizing that he was only asking questions, and would be glad if Gorodetsky answered them on the air.

Vladimir Gorodetsky, reacting to Solovyov's accusations, was laconic. Refuting the fact of the free distribution of a hundred land plots on the last day (such was the first accusation), a week later he declared that "destructive forces" were interested in these ethers.

Deputies of the Novosibirsk City Council adopted an appeal to the General Director of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company Oleg Dobrodeev. They noted that Solovyov's criticism was not supported by evidence and asked "to pay attention to the current situation, take possible measures to change it and send information to the Council of Deputies of the city of Novosibirsk about the reasons and goals for disseminating the above information." Solovyov, for his part, took this as "an attempt to limit criticism."

But now Solovyov's attacks on Gorodetsky have finally stopped - the governor of the Novosibirsk Region has not yet been mentioned on his airs. It is believed that some agreements with the channel's management played a role here. Gorodetsky himself expressed the hope "that Vladimir Rudolfovich has objectively understood the real situation in our region." Solovyov himself wrote that "additional texture is needed" to develop this topic. Whether this situation will develop further, it will be possible to say only after some time.

There are persistent rumors on the Internet about Solvieva's bisexuality.

We are proud that on TV there are such smart, knowledgeable, witty, true professionals, patriots, devoted to their country, like Vladimir Solovyov. It is not for nothing that there are only positive reviews about him from real people who truly love Russia. Several reviews got here obviously by accident - people thought they were writing about Gamnuel, Gozman, Drandin, Sytin, offended Yabloko people, etc., but they accidentally pressed the wrong button. This is the only way to justify these misplaced scriptures.

Sergey (Togliatti)

I don’t know why there is so much dirt and stupidity in the comments about Solovyov? Intelligent, literate, sharp and tactful, humorous, intelligent person who knows his business. Whoever thinks that he is engaged in empty chatter, I believe that this person is not pure in soul. Argument "Loves money" - is that a sinful position? See how it works. Up to 2 hours on the TV screen live, and at 7 again live on the radio.
Humanitarian warehouse, and the techie graduated with honors. Oh yes, he studied at the expense of others, as Evgeny from Ufa believes.
Nikolay from Shebekino, without people like "Nadezhdin and company", his programs will be from the series "Cockerel and Cuckoo" (Krylov I.S.).
Alexander from Chelyabinsk, and what if Solovyov is a Jew? So Russia should be proud of such Jews, unlike some Russians.
Lyudmila from the city of Shakhty, who makes you listen to it, and even more so every (!) day? The sea is broadcast on television and on the radio, there is a choice. Better yet, find yourself a loved one, so you can take a break from the beloved.
There are moments in his programs that I do not like, but this is not a reason to reject the uniqueness, giftedness and talent of this person.
Lyudmila (Krasnodar), I agree with you!!!

As a child, he was transferred from a regular school to an institution with in-depth knowledge of the English language. The children and grandchildren of the party elite went to school No. 27 on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, but Vladimir managed to enter and successfully study there. In the 9th grade, I became interested in martial arts and philosophy, before that I played football. But his main calling was controversy. In them, the future journalist knew no equal.

In 1980, Vladimir graduated from high school and tried to enroll first at MEPhI, then at the physics department of Moscow State University, but he was not accepted there, allegedly because of his Jewish origin. As a result, he entered the Institute of Steel and Alloys (MISiS), from which he graduated with a red diploma (specialty "metallurgical engineer") in 1986. After that there was a postgraduate study at the Institute of International Relations and World Economy. He defended his PhD and received a PhD in Economics.

He was then invited to teach economics at the University of Alabama at Huntsville. But almost immediately, according to Solovyov himself, the management terminated the contract at the insistence of the FBI. All his life, Solovyov did not shy away from any work. And now he did everything to stay in the USA and “stand on his feet” (cleaned, mowed lawns, etc.). And he succeeded. He began a career as an entrepreneur, took over a plant for the production of disco equipment, and later sold it to Russia. After that, Vladimir took over a recruitment agency. He sold the business, successfully invested what he had accumulated and secured a comfortable existence for himself.

First wife

Vladimir Solovyov was married three times. His first chosen one was a girl named Olga, whom he met on the subway. At the time, the journalist was 22 years old. As Solovyov later admitted in an interview, his marriage took place late by family standards: his grandfather got a wife at the age of 16, and his father married at 18. From Olga, Vladimir has two children - Polina and Alexander. Olga never forbade her father to communicate with children, so he helped them financially and raised them, however, at a distance.

They have been adults for a long time. Alexander studied in London, got married in 2016 in Moscow and works in the film industry. Fans are sure that the eldest son is just a copy of his father. Polina received her education in Moscow, graduated from the Institute of Television, received the specialty of an announcer. She dreams of repeating her father's career. Eldest daughter married and even gave birth to a girl, so Vladimir Rudolfovich is already a grandfather.

Second wife

During graduate school, Vladimir became interested in the girl Yulia, who became his second chosen one. She followed her husband abroad, where he was invited to teach. The couple returned back with their daughter Katya. Subsequently, she graduated from the Shchukin Theater School and works in her specialty. Alas, this marriage was short-lived.

Third wife

The third wife of Vladimir Solovyov is the daughter of the satirist Viktor Koklyushkin with the sonorous name Elga Sepp. They met on the set of the video for the Crematorium group. At that time, the journalist was friends with the leader of the group, Armen Grigoryan. Their acquaintance looked like this: a 140-kilogram mustachioed man handed her a business card with the words: “If you need anything, call!” “And if you don’t need anything, can you call?” Elga joked. In response to these words, Solovyov asked on what date it would be appropriate to make a marriage proposal. “On the third!”, - he heard in response and, indeed, called Elga to marry at their third meeting. The girl was taken aback by such an offer, thought for a long time, but in the end agreed.

On October 19, 2006, he participated in a TV debate as a host between Viktor Tarkhov and Georgy Limansky. During and after the broadcast, Tarkhov was insulted by Solovyov. After that, he filed a lawsuit for 10 million rubles against the journalist. A year and a half later, the court of first instance partially satisfied the claim, ruling to recover 70,000 rubles from the defendant.
In April 2008, an employee of the presidential administration, Valery Boev, filed a lawsuit against Solovyov for the protection of honor and dignity. In the program "Nightingale trills" Solovyov made statements compromising him: "there are no independent courts in Russia, there are courts dependent on Boev."
However, in May of the same year, Boyev decided to withdraw the lawsuit.
In 2011 religious community Mountain Jews of Azerbaijan sent a note of protest to the leadership of the Vesti FM radio station, as well as to the Russian Jewish Congress, against Solovyov's statement about the Republic of Azerbaijan on the air of Vesti FM.

The statement states that the university reacted negatively to both the statements Solovyova, and to the remarks of students, and attempts to link the educational institution with the political position of the participants in the scandal are regarded there as a provocation.
In June 2014, businessman Sergei Polonsky, who is based in Cambodia, filed a lawsuit against the Vesti FM radio station and journalist Solovyov with the Savelovsky Court of Moscow for the protection of honor and compensation for moral damages in the amount of 200 million rubles because of his broadcast in November 2013.
