Dmitry Vladimirovich Nagiyev was born in the hero-city of Leningrad back in the days of the USSR. Among his ancestors were representatives of various nationalities, although Nagiyev himself considers himself Russian.
The surname Nagiyev has an interesting origin. Dmitry's grandfather on his father's side ended up in an orphanage in Turkmenistan when his parents died on the way to Ashgabat. There he was named Nikolai and given a new surname - Nagiyev, which means "the savior of the world."
It was not by chance that Dmitry became interested in creativity, because the family already had relatives who devoted their lives to art. My paternal grandmother was a ballerina and served at the Bolshoi Theater. The maternal grandmother worked as a singer at the Mariinsky Theater. Aunt Dmitry is also a singer who performed in the choir under the direction of Grigory Moiseevich Sandler.

Son Cyril
Cyril, like his father and mother, chose a creative profession.
His father's popularity did not reflect well on Kirill. At school, he was constantly pestered with questions about the details of the scandalous project "Windows", where at that time his father was the host. The boy was surrounded by the attention of fans of Nagiyev Sr., which, according to him, was a real test for him.
Dmitry was constantly busy filming and working on the radio, so he did not devote much time to his own child. They rarely saw each other, the grandfather was more involved in raising Cyril.
During his school years, Kirill was sent to the karate section, although he himself dreamed of hockey. He did not really like to practice martial arts, but his father wanted his son to grow up as a real man, able to stand up for himself. As a result, Kirill nevertheless achieved considerable success in sports, but he did not enjoy the pleasure of practicing karate.
When Kirill was eighteen years old, his parents divorced. This was a big blow for the young man, especially since the divorce was quite scandalous. Kirill managed to maintain good relations with his parents. Even after the divorce, he did not stop dating his father.
Cyril began to think about his creative career already in high school. At first, he was more attracted to medicine and history. He even wanted to become an archaeologist, but later chose a creative profession.
Having received his secondary education, Kirill was admitted to the Moscow Moscow Art Theater School. Two years later, he decided to return to his hometown and graduated from the Institute of Theater Arts in 2011.
