The musicians, who had been playing together for a long time, decided to complete the project at the end of 2013. On the day of the tragedy, Kirill was supposed to go to St. Petersburg to participate in one of the final concerts of the group.

It is possible that completion music project, to which Suponev Jr. devoted more than one year, against the backdrop of creative failures on television, pushed the young man to take a fatal step.

In 2001, immediately after the death of his father, Kirill Suponev was offered to replace him as the host of the program “ Finest hour“However, Suponev Jr. refused. According to friends, Kirill was an ambitious man and did not want to be compared to his father.

Sergei Suponev's "finest hour" ended on the ice of the Volga

Sergei Suponev's television career reached its peak in the second half of the 1990s. He came to television back in 1980, but initially served as an auxiliary worker and administrator. In 1986, Suponev began filming stories for the TV show “Under 16 and Over.”

Popularity came to Sergei Suponev in 1989, when he became the co-host of the program for teenagers “Marathon 15”. In 1992, Vlad Listyev invited Suponev to host the children's television quiz show "Star Hour". From this moment on, Sergei Suponev begins to actively work on children's television broadcasting, not only as a presenter, but also as a producer and creator of new programs.

He has such projects as “Call of the Jungle”, “Dandy - New reality", "King of the Hill", "I'll Sing Right Now" and many others. Suponev worked on entertainment programs not only for children - in 2001 he became one of the creators of the reality show “The Last Hero”.

At the very peak of his career, a tragedy occurred. On December 8, 2001, a 38-year-old TV presenter was riding a snowmobile on the ice of the Volga near the village of Edimonovo, Tver Region. At some point, Suponev lost control and crashed into the snow-covered wooden walkways of the river pier. Sergei Suponev died on the spot.

In addition to his son Kirill, Suponev has a daughter from his second marriage Pauline, who was not even one year old at the time of her father’s death.

Sergei Suponev came from creative family— his father was an actor at the Satire Theater, his mother worked there as a pianist. Suponev's maternal half-sister is famous singer and TV presenter Elena Perova.

On the tombstone of Sergei Suponev there is an epitaph, which was invented by his father: “Your star trek in this world went from the screen into the souls of children.”

Entertainment programs for children and teenagers created by Sergei Suponev have educated several generations of young television viewers. The tragic and untimely death of Suponev interrupted his career at its most interesting place; Later, Sergei’s son, Kirill, followed in his father’s footsteps and decided, like him, to make a career in television. Alas, the story of Kirill Suponev ended just as darkly.

The tragic death of Sergei Suponev at one time greatly shocked the whole country - the presenter and producer played a significant role in the development Russian television and enjoyed the respect and love of those around him. Alas, the accident put an extremely untimely end to Sergei’s biography.

Sergei Suponev became a truly famous TV presenter in the second half of the 90s. He started from the very bottom - initially, back in 1980, Suponev worked as an auxiliary worker.

In 1986, Sergei began filming his own stories for the popular youth television project “Up to 16 and Over.”

In 1989, Suponev got the position of presenter in the “Marathon 15” program; the host Sergei turned out to be more than worthy - and after three years Vlad Listyev himself offered him the position of host of the new children's quiz "Star Hour". This show was Suponev's first truly successful one; Later, Sergei began to create his own projects - and succeeded a lot in this field. The programs “King of the Hill”, “Call of the Jungle” and “Dandy – New Reality” in many respects determined the face of children's entertainment television.

a rider crashed on a snowmobile near the Tver village of Edimonovo. From extremely strong blow Sergei died on the spot. 12 years after Sergei’s death, his son, Kirill, followed in his footsteps; Unlike his father, Kirill died not from a fatal coincidence, but from his own hand.

28-year-old Suponev committed suicide in the house where he lived with his mother. Valeria Suponeva left the house for only 10 minutes; alas, this was quite enough for Kirill to carry out his plans. Returning home, the woman found her son in a noose; alas, it was too late to save Kirill - he was dead.

It is not known exactly what prompted Kirill to commit suicide; he did not consider it necessary to leave any kind of farewell message. However, it seems that Kirill still had certain prerequisites for suicide.

Some may think that Kirill had nothing to complain about in life. Suponev Jr. had successfully completed the Faculty of Journalism at MGIMO and had considerable experience working on television; Suponev held quite worthy positions - he was involved in both producing and directing. Kirill worked on his own projects;

At the same time, he had time to study music - Suponev was listed as a drummer in the “Romeo Must Die” team. At the end of 2013, the group was supposed to break up. On his last day, Kirill was supposed to go to St. Petersburg; there the band was supposed to play one of their last concerts.

It is unlikely that it will be possible to find out exactly why Suponev decided to commit suicide. Kirill’s friends and colleagues said that he reacted extremely painfully to various kinds of failures and career troubles. To some extent, Kirill became a victim own father– many (often unwittingly) compared Kirill’s achievements with the achievements of Sergei; these comparisons, alas, usually turned out not to be in favor of the younger Suponev. Kirill actively tried to get out of his father’s shadow - and even refused to take the position of host of the “Finest Hour” program, vacated after the death of Sergei; Unfortunately, he never managed to rise to the level of Suponev Sr. It is quite possible that it was the combination of several failures at work with the breakup of the group that caused Kirill an unusually severe depression - the leader did not find the best way out of it.

The body of Suponev Jr. was discovered by his mother Valeria in an apartment on Osenny Boulevard. According to the woman, she left the house for 10 minutes, and when she returned, her son was already dead.

Neighbors claim that the Suponevs rarely appeared in this apartment. Investigators examined the home and did not find suicide note. A pre-investigation investigation has been launched into the suicide, following which the issue of initiating a criminal case will be decided.

After the death of Suponev, Kirill, who as a child often acted with his father in television programs, became more withdrawn. He graduated from the Faculty of International Journalism of MGIMO, was a drummer in the group “Romeo Must Die”, and was going to become the host of children's programs on television. A series of failures at castings often made the young man depressed. According to friends, after the death of Suponev Sr., the young man became more nervous and withdrawn into himself: he idolized his father, and his death was a terrible blow for him.

This is not the first tragedy in the family of the late TV presenter: in March of this year, Sergei Suponev’s sister, singer and actress Lena Perova tried to cut her wrists. The ex-soloist of the Lyceum group was admitted to the hospital with cut wounds on her wrist. On the afternoon of March 20, Elena Perova cut her hand. However, the wound turned out to be not very serious, and she helped herself. After this, the TV presenter got scared and went to her psychiatrist. However, on the way she had an accident. Perova was taken to the hospital by ambulance from the scene of an accident on Obraztsova Street, where her Opel collided with a Mercedes SUV. As Perova later said in an interview, on that day she broke up with her loved one, and this provoked a nervous breakdown.

Widow Suponeva: “Sergei’s son is looking for himself...”

In 2007, Sergei Suponev’s widow Olga gave an interview to Express Gazeta, in which she told how her life developed after the death of her husband. Olga also touched on the topic of relationships with the relatives of her star husband ():

When Sergei passed away, I was left alone in this terrible big house, which I didn’t want to move to for a long time. Seryozha literally dragged me there in his arms,” says his widow. - After the final division of the inheritance, this mansion went to me, or rather, to our daughter Polina. It was the condition of other relatives that Polya should be considered the mistress of the house.

-Which of Suponev’s relatives are you communicating with now?

With virtually no one. Previously, I had a good relationship with Seryozha’s dad, actor and poet Evgeny Kuzmich Suponev. But he lost a lot after the tragedy. I have already suffered two strokes... Sometimes I communicate with Serezha’s first wife, Lera. She works on television - she writes texts for various programs. But with their son Kirill in lately We rarely see each other. He is probably in another stage of adolescence - he is looking for himself. The guy is smart, cheerful, graduated from the Faculty of International Journalism at MGIMO, plays drums in the group “Romeo Must Die”, goes to television auditions. Perhaps he will be one of the hosts of a new morning show on one of central channels. Our relationship with Seryozha’s sister, my same age as Lena Perova, did not work out right away. She is a very specific girl, and we are simply not on the same wavelength.
