The participants of the “Diesel Show” have long become favorites of the public, but interest in the lives of the actors and the details of their biography increased after the accident that cut short the life of Marina Poplavskaya. As a result of the collision between the bus and the truck, other team members received injuries of varying severity. After the accident, fans anxiously awaited news about their health.
Diesel Show Team
Information: The comedy show has been aired on the Ukrainian channel ICTV since 2020. The idea belonged to Yegor Krutogolov. The premiere took place on May 5, 2020. The popular show is now in its 6th season.
Marina Poplavskaya
Marina Frantsevna was born in Novograd-Volynsky, Zhytomyr region. She received a pedagogical education at Zhytomyr University and taught schoolchildren language and literature for more than 20 years, and also led a drama club. And only last year I completely gave up teaching due to a busy filming schedule.
Marina Poplavskaya
Marina’s pop career began in 1993 with performances in the KVN team “Girls from Zhitomir”, which eventually entered the Premier League and repeatedly won the “voicing KiViN”. The team largely owes these victories to the outstanding vocal abilities of its captain, Poplavskaya. At one of the festivals, she sang a duet with Victoria Bulitko for the first time, and later their vocal tandem became a highlight of the Diesel Show. When the “Girls” team left the stage, Marina Poplavskaya continued her career as a comedic actress in the sketch show “For Three.” And then she was invited to the “Diesel Show”.
Marina worked as a teacher for many years
Marina Frantsevna was remembered by the audience in the images of the domineering wife of the timid, puny Zhenya, mother, mother-in-law. In reality, the actress’s personal life did not work out; she never got a husband and children. She gave maternal warmth to her nephews and students. And other participants in the “Diesel Show,” actors slightly younger than Marina, said that in their biography she played the role of a second mother, and in the photo the team looks like one family. Egor Krutogolov says that during the group’s trips, she always sat next to the driver and made sure that he did not fall asleep. So it was on that fateful day of October 20, Marina took the brunt of the blow.
In one of her last numbers, “Marathon of Moneybags,” Marina appeared with the number 6666 on her chest. Now many viewers claim that it was the “number of the beast” that played a fatal role in her life.

They said goodbye to the actress first in Kyiv, then in Zhitomir, where the funeral service and funeral took place on October 22. Fans bring flowers to the photo of Poplavskaya, installed in the city center. Perhaps over time a monument will be erected there if the city authorities support the initiative of the deceased’s friends.
Farewell ceremony for Marina in Kyiv
On the 9th day after the death of the actress, the short film “Queen of Humor”, shot by the “Diesel Show” team, appeared online. And in January next year a tour of Ukrainian cities in memory of Marina Poplavskaya will start. As part of this tour, a concert will take place on March 7 in her native Zhitomir, dedicated to International Women's Day and the actress's birthday (March 9). It is interesting that she herself loved the first of these holidays more, because on this day no one reminded her of her age.

Evgeniy Smorygin
Evgeniy Mikhailovich was born in the capital of Belarus on January 28, 1979. The stuttering that Zhenya has suffered since childhood did not prevent him from entering the theater school. The young man, who studied at the music lyceum, chose to specialize as an operetta actor, but became famous in a different role. Like most participants in the Diesel Show, Zhenya’s stage biography began with KVN. He started playing in KVN while still in school, his childhood nickname “ChP” became the name of the team, which soon grew from amateur to professional and entered the Major League. I had to quit my studies at the theater because of acting, but Zhenya ChP does not regret anything.
Evgeniy Smorygin
The team existed until 2007, after which Evgeniy Smorygin participated in a number of concerts, programs on Belarusian TV, Russian and Ukrainian comedy shows, hosted the 2nd season of the project “Ukraine Has Talent”, the show “Funny People”. The actor also has more than a dozen films, TV series, and sketch shows in which he played various roles. Zhenya also starred in two videos. At concerts I periodically crossed paths with Krugogolov, and he decided to invite his KVN colleague to the Diesel Show.
Evgeny with his wife and children at the premiere of the cartoon
Evgeny Smorygin is not only a talented comedian and presenter, but also a father of many children. He and his future wife lived in Kyiv on the same landing. Now the couple has two sons, Lesha and Sasha, and a daughter, Lisa, who are growing up. Lesha has already starred in “Diesel Show” and “For Three,” and the casting took place without his father’s patronage.
Marina and Evgeniy often played the roles of a comical married couple
The accident resulted in serious injuries for Evgeniy - a compression fracture of a vertebra, torn ligaments and a dislocated finger.
The history of the origin of the television project
The show first appeared in May 2020. It was at this time that the first episode of the show was released, which almost immediately made it a rating. And although almost 7 days passed between the first episodes, this did not stop the show from taking a leading position.
Thanks to the growing popularity of the program, the show's team went on their first road tour at the end of the year. According to the concert schedule, the show was shown in Kherson, Nikolaev and Odessa.
However, contrary to expectations, the first “pancake” turned out to be lumpy. The first round did not bring the group of positive-minded people the expected success with a note in their biography. Participants in the “Diesel Show”, actors, screenwriters and other people involved in the creation of the project did not give up. They continued their work.
And now in 2020, according to the Teletreumf honorary award, the project was named the best humorous show of the year. His premieres evoked frantic delight from the audience. And the program itself has firmly established itself among the leaders of national television ratings, taking into account all key audiences. So who are they - the actors and participants of the "Diesel Show"? The biography of the entire creative team deserves special attention. More about it later.
Egor Krutogolov
“Founding Father” and artistic director of “Diesel Studio” was born on July 6, 1980 in Nikolaev. It’s interesting that an actor with such a brutal appearance was involved in ballroom dancing as a child, and after school he studied to become a teacher. Egor started playing in KVN while still in school and was the captain of the team. In 2000, the KVN team “Diesel” was created, which soon became one of the most notable. The team existed until 2006, and 9 years later its name was inherited by a comedy troupe and a number of projects.

Vika remembers her first fee - 34.00 hryvnia at the Youth Theater. Then the first-year student of the theater department was entrusted with playing a role in the play “The Adventures of Moidodyr.” From other interviews it was found out that one of the principles of filming on television is non-participation in advertising of alcoholic beverages and tobacco. The actress’s life principle is to positively influence future generations. Victoria herself jokes that she drinks alcohol only so that others get less of it. But seriously, Victoria Bulitko has a negative attitude towards the use of strong drinks and does not consider them as a way of relaxation. He considers going out into nature to be the best vacation.

Famous actor and TV presenter with Belarusian roots
The Diesel Show team is truly international. It includes not only native Ukrainians, but Russians and Belarusians. For example, one of them is the Ukrainian actor and Belarusian TV presenter Dmitry Tankovich. He was born on April 9, 1977 in Minsk.
The screenwriter and television producer studied at a local high school, from which he managed to graduate in 1994. During graduation, he received a certificate of honor and a silver medal. Since his school days, he actively played in the theater at an educational institution and, at an amateur level, jumped into the water during swimming lessons.
After school, Dmitry Tankovich entered the Belarusian State Economic University, choosing the specialty “Accounting, auditing and auditing in a bank.”
While studying at the university, he began playing with a young KVN team called “ChP”. Initially, playing KVN was perceived by young people as entertainment. But over time, he realized that this was a serious and interesting hobby. And it was to him that he decided to devote most of his life. While playing in KVN, the actor improved his skills in the field of script writing and acting.
Along with playing in KVN, Dmitry worked on television. There he took part in several television projects, for which he wrote scripts. During the development of his television career, Tankovic changed several television channels. For example, he was on Channel 8, then on BT and ONT. When his favorite KVN team broke up (in 2007), he began to focus only on television.
Later, he was invited as a presenter on the Ukrainian TV channel “STB”. Here he remained to work to this day.
Evgeniy Gashenko

Evgeniy Ivanovich is also from Nikolaev. The youngest of the trio of Diesel leaders was born on September 30, 1981 into a family of doctors. He received a higher education in economics, but worked in his specialty only during his internship at the university. Zhenya’s talent as a humorist manifested itself since childhood; at school he very funnyly retold “Winnie the Pooh” in the faces, and in front of his relatives he portrayed Verka Serduchka.
The story of how Evgeny Gashenko met his wife Olya is very romantic; he rescued a girl who had forgotten the key to the intercom and climbed into the entrance through the window. It is interesting that Olga, a professional lawyer, also does not work in her specialty, but is engaged in clothing design. They got married in 2013 and are now raising their son Ivan.

After graduating from the music lyceum, Smorigin went to study at a high school, where he joined the KVN “ChP” team. By the way, the name of the team is closely related to Evgeniy’s school nickname.
Evgeniy has stuttered since childhood. But this small defect did not become an obstacle to Smorigin’s difficult acting path. At one time, it was this defect that became a special highlight and calling card of the actor.
After the KVN team broke up, Smorigin began to take part in various television projects. For example, in 2009-2010 he became a co-host in the project “Ukraine Has Got Talent”. And in 2020, the actor joined the main cast of the Diesel Show.
