Sergey Minaev-homegoods

Russian Sergei Minaev is a modern writer, showman and businessman. Appears on television and radio as a host of socio-political talk shows and participates in online discussions. The books cause conflicting reviews from readers, but they are sold in millions of copies. The author turns novels into scripts and directs the adaptation of his works.

A fourth-generation Muscovite, Sergei Sergeevich Minaev was born on January 25, 1975 in the capital of the Soviet Union. Since then he has lived in Moscow, dreaming of somewhere to escape. After school he entered the Faculty of Archival Affairs of the Russian State University for the Humanities. Even then, the young man had doubts that the profession of a historian would be useful in adulthood, but his parents insisted on the need for higher education.

A diploma in "Russian history of modern times" really turned out to be a useless thing, but knowledge of the events of world history later made Minaev an interesting interlocutor and helped him in numerous network and television discussions. The early opponents of the future writer were colleagues in his first job - loaders in Moscow stores.

Then Sergei looked for himself in business, and in 2002, together with Eduard Bagirov, he created the website "Litprom", where he began to publish texts by young authors. Minaev's first stories also appeared on the Internet: on Litprom, in Live Journal, and later on the writer's own website. The blog of the author, who wrote under the nickname "Amigo", was interesting to readers, and Sergei Minaev decided to try himself in great literature.

The biography of the writer began with the release of the novel “Duxless. A Story of a Fake Man. " The word "Duxless" is made up of the Russian root "spirit" and the English negating part, and the text tells about the lack of spirituality in the life of the protagonist. The young manager, who remains unnamed throughout the book, is going through a midlife crisis: he is tired of work, social events, he is looking for love, but he himself does not know how to love.

The novel is densely filled with English words, lyrics, borrowings from American literature and events from the author's life experience, as well as grammatical and punctuation errors. Minaev's second novel “Media Sapiens. The Story of the Third Term. " In 2007, critics awarded the author the Complete Paragraph anti-award for both of these books - in all nominations at once. However, the writer did not appear for the award.

But publishers and readers were pleased with Minaev's debut in literature: thanks to a competent advertising campaign and the fact that the author managed to "accidentally get into the nerve of a generation," the novel became a bestseller. In 2011, screenwriter Denis Rodimin adapted the text of the book into a screenplay, and director Roman Prygunov directed the film Duxless, in which Danila Kozlovsky played the main role.

The success of the film at the box office inspired the producers to shoot a sequel: the blockbuster "Duxless 2", for which Sergei Minaev was hired to work on the script. In the books, the plot of the first novel continued in the works of “The Chicks. A Story of False Love ”and“ RAB. Anti-crisis novel ", whose heroes also rush between the thirst for money, self-realization, society's expectations and personal desires.

Andrey Mirkin, the main character of "Chicks", returns to the reader in the sequel "Videoty, or The Chicks. Two Years Later ”, and in this book everything ends well: the character manages to make a choice between love and career before life collapses completely. Under the cover of "Time of Heroes" are collected the early stories of the writer, with which the readers of the Minaev blog got acquainted long before the publication of the paper version of the book.

The novel “Duhless 21st century. Selfie "has no direct relation to either the writer's debut novel or to the second part of the film" Duxless ". The protagonist of a slightly fantastic story, Vladimir Bogdanov, whom Sergei Minaev endowed with numerous features that emphasize the author's relationship with the character, is experiencing a split personality. Moreover, it is completely unclear whether the cause of the problems lies in Bogdanov's psyche, or there is mystical interference in his life.

The plot of the book "Moscow, I do not love you" is unoriginal. The story of a suitcase full of money, which by the will of the author's imagination falls into the hands of the characters, has been used many times by writers and screenwriters. In Minaev's book, the suitcase travels around modern Moscow: from the hands of the courier it gets to the guest workers, from them to the police and prostitutes. In addition to the cherished suitcase, the heroes of the book are connected by the fact that they all live in the capital and dream of escaping from it.

In the “Media Sapiens” dilogy, the fate of the protagonist tells about the technologies of manipulating public opinion. And Minaev understands about PR and information stuffing. From 2009 to 2012, he hosted the Honest Monday program on NTV, and from 2011 to 2013, he released the Minaev LIVE show on the Internet.

The network audience was also broadcast by the Kontr TV channel, created by Minaev together with Anton Krasovsky and Artak Gasparyan. From 2014 to 2015, the writer managed political discussions in the studio of the talk show "Right to Know" on the TV Center channel.

The presenter said goodbye to the listeners of the radio broadcast back in 2011, although he was awarded the "Radio Mania-2010" award for his work in the show "Dancing with Wolves".

Over the years, the public life of the writer is increasingly moving to the Internet: he has an official website, he uses the possibilities of social networks to publish photos, videos and interviews. In June 2017, Krasovsky and Minaev's Telegram channel "Anchovies and Daisies" moved to YouTube and VKontakte, becoming a weekly program.

For the first time, Sergei married at 23, while still immature and unprepared for a serious relationship. In marriage, a daughter was born, but her parents divorced, and now the girl is being raised by her mother. The breakup with his first wife was difficult, Minaev wrote about his experiences on a blog, but later found solace in a new relationship, which he legalized on June 1, 2012.

The writer's chosen one was Elizaveta Menshchikova, a young journalist who became famous in 2010 for her participation in the student project "Political Calendar for Putin". At the same time, Elizaveta worked as the chief editor of the "Minaev LIVE" project. Service relations grew into close ones, and the bride went to the registry office already pregnant.

On November 2, 2012, a son was born to the Minaevs, who received the traditional family name Sergei. On January 20, 2016, the family was replenished with another child - daughter Polina. The father of the family is happy in marriage, the young wife does not argue with her beloved husband, and Minaev has matured over the years and learned to solve family problems.

In February 2018, the psychological thriller Selfie, directed by Nikolai Khomerika, was released in film distribution. It is an adaptation of the novel Duhless of the 21st century. Selfie ”, the script for which was written by the author of the book. Sergey Minaev creatively reworked the plot, making it more dynamic, personally invited Konstantin Khabensky to the main role, actively participated in the filming process, coming up with new details while working on the film.

In March 2018, Channel One launched the second season of the spy television series Sleepers, the script of which was also written by Minaev. The director of the first season, Yuri Bykov, left the project because of the scandal around the film, he was replaced by Sergei Arlanov. And the screenwriter has not changed: the blogger is not afraid of the hype around his works, but on the contrary, considers the disputes a sign of public interest in the project.

The writer does not forget about the business related to bodily food. The Khlib i Vino restaurant chain, co-owned by Minaev, has completely renewed its menu, wine list and hall decoration. The walls of the bars are decorated with colorful covers of the Esquire magazine, the editor-in-chief of the Russian edition of which Sergey Minaev has been working since 2016.
