Dmitry Olenin - the personal life of the host of Russian Radio
Born on November 13, 1079 in Cherepovets, the popular Russian Radio host and DJ Dmitry Olenin was left without parents early. The showman's closest relatives are his older sister and nephews, who live in Cherepovets. There are also cousins living in different cities, so relatives do not manage to meet often and spend time together. Although Dmitry hopes that the meetings of his relatives have become a good family tradition. Dmitry Olenin is currently unmarried and has no children of his own, and there seems to be no girlfriend either. The TV presenter tries not to advertise his personal life, although he is often seen together with representatives of Russian show business, sometimes novels are attributed, but Olenin himself usually keeps silent about this.
Earlier rumors circulated that Dmitry Olenin got married, that he had children. However, this is not so, and the reason for the rumors was a comic wedding with the singer Dakota in 2010, many then seriously decided that the singer Dakota was the wife of Dmitry Olenin. Now Dakota is married to Vlad Sokolovsky.
Dmitry Olenin loves to travel very much, while curiosity, the desire to try something new, he often prevails over a sense of fear.

The best friend of celebrities, a talented radio host and just a charming young man - this is how many talented young man Dmitry Olenin is known. But what is he really like and how did his image develop?
Dima was born in Cherepovets in 1979. This boy with expressive eyes and delicate brown curls has always attracted attention, especially since he was remarkable for his remarkable artistry and ability to communicate.
Unfortunately, his parents passed away early and Dima's upbringing was handled by her older sister. In order to direct her brother's creative energy in the right direction, she gave him to the dance section, where he was predicted a great future in this area.
But at some point, Dima became interested in programming and decided that this was his destiny.
After graduating from a secondary school, Olenin entered the Cherepovets State University in the department of programming and seriously set out to get a red diploma.
True, this mood was enough for the young man exactly for the first year! After a year of study, Dmitry saw an announcement about the casting of radio hosts for the local branch of the large Russian Radio station and decided to try himself in this role.
It turned out that Olenin "looks" very organically on the air., listeners love him and therefore they began to prophesy a great future for him.
After working for some time in the Cherepovets branch and honing his skills, Dmitry sets off to conquer the capital. At the same time, Dmitry Olenin does not change the radio station in Moscow - he continues to build a career on Russian Radio.
It should be noted that Dmitry's popularity grew by leaps and bounds. In just a couple of years, he became one of the most popular presenters on his wave!
In parallel with his career on the radio, other successes of Olenin should be noted. As mentioned above, he is an incredibly charming young man. If we add to this the ability to behave and communicate with any audience, then it turns out to be an excellent host of events and corporate events.
Dmitry understood this a long time ago and leads not only private parties, but also major show business events.
Behind Olenin are beauty contests, the presentation of prestigious awards, the conduct of combined concerts of pop stars.
There is in the piggy bank of Dmitry and work on television. Dmitry Olenin can be seen on the RU.TV channel (this is a video version of Russian Radio) and NTV, where he hosts a provocative program about the life of a celebrity “You won’t believe it!”.
Another side of Olenin's life is work as a DJ.
Of course, many celebrities have been addicted to this kind of art in recent years, but Dmitry's talent in this area is not questioned because he has performed in the most prestigious clubs not only in Russia, but also in Europe!
Despite his external data, Dmitry is lonely in his personal life - he is not officially married and has no children.
It is difficult to say what is the reason for this fact; Olenin himself always keeps silent when asked about his beloved.
Dmitry Olenin as a joke byl married to singer Dakota their wedding was not real.
Of course, there are rumors in the press about his romances with the stars of Russian show business, but there is not a single confirmation of any of them.
Therefore, fans of this bright radio host can safely hope that someday one of them will win his heart.
“My curiosity prevails over the feeling of fear”

We are talking in a small meeting room in the office of Russian Radio. Dmitry glances at his watch - he will soon go on the air - and talks about how life brought him to the radio, where he has worked for thirteen years: “I studied at the institute, and got a job at the regional Russian Radio in Cherepovets. A year later, he dropped out of school and went to Moscow. Now I’m making up for it, I’m getting an education.”How were you received by your colleagues in the capital?
The Russian Radio team is one big family. At first, in Moscow, I had a hard time, and colleagues with a shy look put money on me or invited me to visit and said: “Well, stay another day or two.” They knew that I had nowhere to live. ( Smiling.)
Remember how much you were worried when you first appeared at the microphone?
Certainly. My mentor Alexander Karlov, who hired me, came up five seconds before the first broadcast and said: “Take off your headphones. Everything you say now will be heard by the whole country. Do you understand that? Needless to say, the already shaking arms and legs simply jumped! He croaked something into the microphone like a frog. Then, of course, everything was fine. Everything needs experience.
Did your relatives stay in Cherepovets?
Yes, my closest people - my older sister and her two children, my nephews - live there. I have no parents, I am an orphan. Other relatives - aunts, cousins and sisters, their children - in different cities. At the beginning of this year, in January, I rented a house in Kharkov, and all twenty-five relatives gathered there to spend time together. We'll meet again in the winter. I hope that now it will be our family tradition.
How about starting your own family?
I am the youngest in the family, and I still have the feeling that I am still a kid who needs to grow up. I think you should not go against your gut, you need to do something, if only you are very impatient. Recently there was such a period: I terribly wanted my children to be born right away. My friends got excited: "Don't rush, listen to us, you'll make it!" - and began to come to me with their small children. I realized that I can withstand them for two or three days, and then ... ( Laughs.)
Well, it's still other people's children.
You know, when I tried to do something contrary to my feelings and intuition, I was punished. I didn’t have a relationship, everything ended unpleasantly. I concluded: you don’t have to live for the sake of society - subscribers in social networks, a grandmother next door. Everything should be only according to desire and love. I don't have that yet.
But, judging by the photos on social networks, you have a lot of girlfriends. Is it easier for you to be friends with girls?
Now I'm friends with everyone, it's in childhood only with girls. My mother's friends mostly had daughters, and I myself have been dancing for many years and in the evenings, when everyone was walking and playing, I went to rehearsals. In the yard, because of this, I was a little outcast, at school the boys even beat me. After graduation, they admitted that they did it because I was friends with girls and they liked me - it was just a shame! When a friend and I walked together to my house, I asked her to walk along the other side of the street. ( Smiling.)
Did you dance, you say?
Yes, from five to twenty. I was prophesied that I would become a ballet dancer. But my departure to Moscow for the sake of working on the radio put an end to my dancing career.
Now could you dance?
(Smiling.) Certainly. True, it is no longer the same as before ... There was one case here. We were sitting in a restaurant, the company was motley, and we started talking about ballet. I said: they say, look how it's done! And began to show. The boys nodded and laughed. I asked: “What are you laughing at? Come out and try it yourself!” They say: “Yes, we won’t even try, but these four are soloists of the Bolshoi Theater.” It's me, it turns out, I taught ballet stars to dance!
Dmitry, you are such a cheerful person, did Moscow with its aggression really not affect you in any way?
There is such. If earlier I tried to live for everyone and everything, now I understand that this is not worth doing, because no one cares about you. For some reason, people think that they have the right to demand something, and when you give it to them, they do not express gratitude. Relatively speaking, they can replace a person with a thing, they can declare their love, and then just not come to a birthday party, and so on. And they absolutely do not think about the fact that their act hurt the feelings of a person. At some point, I realized all this and thought: well, okay, I won’t smile at you twenty-four hours a day.
It doesn't look like you've become mean and unfriendly now.
I have a presumption of goodness in people. This goodness can be easily pulled out. In Moscow, people at first meet each other with aggression, and if you smile at a person, give him a few sincere compliments, oh, and he will blossom! And yet, you have a completely different attitude. So, in fact, a kind, good person, only for some reason puts on a shell and releases spikes.
You have been brought up very well.
Once, when I was about twelve years old, I had a serious quarrel with my mother. It seems that she did not let me go for a walk, and I told her: “What a fool!” And received a savory slap in the face. They explained to me in detail that in no case, under no circumstances should you call a woman a fool and shout at her. I remember it so much that further all communication with people began to be built on the principle “whatever a person does, do not insult, but draw conclusions.” ( Dmitry looks at his watch and says that it's time for him to go on the air. We move into the studio, he greets the audience, starts the music and returns to our conversation.)
Dima, do you always speak impromptu?
You see, I don't have any papers. ( Smiling.) The microphone turns on - and I plop into the air, like into the ocean!
Have you ever worked in another field?
Only in adjacent areas. Now I am the host of the Super 10 hit parade on the RU.TV music channel, a DJ, host of events. If we talk about the first earnings, then he was in the fourth grade. At the lesson of labor, we made iron scoops, sold them and received four rubles each. I still keep them like Scrooge McDuck. Then they started paying me for dancing - I performed with a professional team. In general, I am a workaholic, I like to work and get high when I come home and pass out from fatigue. I like to submit to the creative process of a common cause. I am a great team player. Now I want to use this quality in another area - in cinema.
Want to get even more famous?
I never set out to become famous. Until now, coming to the event, I am surprised: do you really want to take a picture of me, did you mix anything up? (Smiles.) People sometimes have dissonance, because I am shy in life, and shyness is often mistaken for show-off. I come somewhere where I don’t know anyone, I’m waiting for acquaintances. And then people say: "Olenin came, stood aside, does not communicate with us."
How are you going to act in films then? There are a lot of people, operators, cameras.
This is already an experience. I can now go on stage and say: “Hello, the Kremlin!” And at times it was scary. I have a kind of switch between me as an artist - let's call it that - and me as an ordinary person.
Do you know the feeling of fear now?
My curiosity prevails over feelings of fear and self-preservation. I'm reckless. Relatives say this is because my mother, when she was in the last weeks of pregnancy, looking at the ring on her outstretched hand, lost her balance and fell ... right on top of me. ( Laughs.) Once we filmed a program about extreme sports. For the plot, it was necessary to jump on a rope from an existing railway bridge, on which trains ran every ten minutes. The height is thirty meters, the rope does not stretch, and you need to jump not down, but to the side - like a pendulum, otherwise you can break your back. The guys said: "Yes, he will not jump." Jumped. With obscene cries. I would also like to jump with a parachute, fly into space or dive into the ocean. In general, if I leave the media, then only in extreme sports. ( Smiling.)

Exclusive photo report by special correspondent Kirill Zykov website
His voice is familiar to all listeners of Russian Radio. Not everyone knows what the owner of this voice looks like, how he lives outside the airtime. But today we will talk about the private life of Dmitry Olenin. For more than three years, Dima Olenin has been one of the most sought-after metropolitan DJs. The world's best venues have conquered him, and it is unlikely that the public that comes off under his tracks can come to mind that the remote control is not a professional musician, but an ordinary guy who simply knows how to set goals and achieve them with his own work.
Dmitry: I started DJing after I visited Spain, where I fell in love with a DJ, fell in love with her music, then met her. And I say: "I want this music to be in Moscow, no one plays this kind of music in Moscow." She says, "So be a DJ." And I somehow thought: “Why not?”
KM TV: Does love often play such a significant role in your life? You say that you fell in love, and that's it - a hobby immediately appeared. In general, what role does love play in your life?
Dmitry: You always know that you can return to Moscow, and there is love there. That is, you come, lie down like this, they hug you, and everything immediately becomes good. Most likely, this is a calming moment.
Love brought him to the studio of the radio station. Dima came to the radio because he really wanted his mother to be proud of him.
Dmitry: It was winter, I come home in the evening, and my mother says to me in a serious voice: “Come here, I need to talk to you.” Oh, I think my mom found out I smoke. And mom says: "Anna came." "Which?" - "Well, Anya Turchaninova." And Anya lives on the other side of the city. It was about minus thirty outside, and we agreed that she would come to visit me. She arrived, but I was not at home, I was walking somewhere. And mom says: “You have a wind in your head, and even Anya said so that you have a wind in your head, you will never achieve anything in your life.”
Dmitry (speaking on air): Hello everyone! My name is Dmitry Olenin, you are listening to Russian Radio. I will be happy to spend the next four hours with you. I wish you all a great day, good mood, excellent health. And let there be a smile on your face, seeing which all your enemies will die of envy. Have a nice day, may you all be well!
And I wish the same for the viewers of KM TV. Dmitry Olenin is with you right now. Hello.
Radio by day, music by night. It seems that Dima Olenin does not sleep at all, and everyone is already used to it. But it was not always so. He likes that only memories remain of the past.
Dmitry: I studied to be an automated control system programmer, this is an automated control system, but at the same time I was still a professional dancer. I left dancing and got on the radio, plunged into the world of music and realized that this is mine. When I was in the fifth grade, I asked the teacher who taught computer science: “Can I visit you?” She says: “You will study computer science in the 9th grade, so when you study, then come.” - "Well, I want it so much, I like it now." She says: “Okay, come to extracurricular classes, but I won’t explain anything to you.” And I would come and watch programs that were popular then, for example, written in BASIC, which high school students wrote, and no one explained anything to me, I watched it myself, and I began to succeed, I began to write programs. And I was also fond of graphics, drawings, etc. I wrote a program that consisted of 15 lines, it was a program for solving quadratic equations. Then I just entered the variables from the textbook and solved. I received answers, I look, right, right.
Dima is an honest and kind person. He will not take someone else's, but he will not give his own either. He knows how to get out of difficult situations with his head held high.
Dmitry: I am conflicted, but I just know how to resolve these conflicts so that they give some kind of positive result. Because if you just scream, nothing will happen.
Now Dima even has his own army - an army of envious people. No wonder he always succeeds. The secret of success is luck, without it, of course, nowhere. But luck alone won't get you far. He approaches everything that is called with a soul. Maybe that's why he manages to achieve excellent results? Even in programming, he saw an interesting game.
Dmitry: Programs serve creativity. The fewer lines, the better the program, the better programmer you are. It's appreciated. This is an element of some kind of creativity - to write a program, there are tricks. A creative profession indeed.
KM TV: Has it completely disappeared from your life, or are you still into something like that?
Dmitry: I'm more likely to use a computer now in terms of music: to write my own music, to do something like that. Now they make such programs when you don’t need a musical education at all, you just collect music like a constructor, and that’s it. This, of course, is not serious, but you can make music.
Tyap-bloop - this is not for him. If Dima has taken up something, he will work with all responsibility. And when it comes to music, he just lives by it.
Dmitry: I periodically travel around Europe, and when I visit any country, I will definitely find a music store there and buy records. That's the last time I was in Cologne, and before that in Brussels. I arrived, I asked: “Where is your record store?” I went and found a store and bought a lot of records. I came here and was very pleased, they say, I was now in Brussels, here are the new records. And gladly played them. It is much cheaper for a DJ to play from a CD, because buying one track on the Internet costs two dollars, buying one record costs 12 euros. That is, one disc is one song, one track. That is, I spend 12 euros on one song, and the DJ who plays from the CD buys a whole collection for these 12 euros.
His personal taste preferences are unchanged. And as a DJ, he tries to keep up with the times. Conscientiousness and curiosity are never superfluous, and thanks to this, Dima improves his level of professionalism.
Dmitry: My favorite music is jazz. As for club music, everything should be positive, only positive, cheerful, people don't need problems. There is music that loads, but the people who came here, to the club, came to rest, relax, throw out their emotions. And I, as a DJ, give them this opportunity, because my music is all positive. The love for jazz remains to this day. The attitude to club music is changing a little, that is, I began to understand the nuances. If I used to say “Oh, what a swotting there”, now I know the subtleties, I can explain how one of the two tracks, seemingly identical at first glance, is better than the other is worse.
Now he can explain not only that. Especially for KM TV viewers, Dima gave a short excursion into the world of DJing.
Dmitry: Dear TV viewers, guys, with all my heart I make one big request, because there is such a law of meanness: someone always comes up to ask something from the DJ at that very crucial moment, in those very 20 seconds when you can’t distract him. So, no need to be distracted. Let's go. Everything here is a standard set, but it is considered the best. Of course, you can show off and put something cooler, but it makes no sense. Standard "Technics", these are vinyl players of the seventy-something year, since that time they have not changed much, that's what they are, they are. The Pioneer company also produced turntables at one time, but stopped producing, and now only Technics, they are the best. "Pioneer" is called "thousander" because the model is "DJ 1000". The Pioneer remote is the most convenient and most reliable device, the sound quality is good, the most convenient and easy to use for DJs. This is how it's all set up. Two years ago, everything would have been the other way around, there would have been a remote control, vinyl turntables and a CD. Now, since most DJs play from CDs (unlike me, I'm still old school, I mostly play records), CDs and vinyl are put on. Why do you need a third turntable? First one song plays, then the second, in turn. The third player is needed in order to add some sound, an a cappella song to decorate your set. These are very wise machines that DJ Olenin still does not know how to use.
Dima belongs to the old school of DJs. And it's not about experience. The main thing here is technique.
Dmitry: We all studied physics at school, what is sound. Sound is a wave. Digital audio is the coding on a CD, i.e. the binary system. This is a set of 1 and 0, i.e. 1, 0, 1, 0. If this is depicted on a scale, then this will be such a step. Here is a CD - these are steps. Vinyl is made up of glass and track. The track exactly copies the musical wave, not in squares, but as it is. Due to this, the sound is softer, more rounded and nourished, juicy. The CD still makes the sound a little flat, adds high frequencies, and the sound is not so deep and juicy, so to speak. If you pick up my suitcase - a seemingly small bag - you will feel that it is heavy. Weighs 26 kg. And always at the airport, when they ask “Do you have luggage?”, We answer: “No, we only have hand luggage.” And we pretend that he weighs 4 kg. Hard.
There are a lot of hard things in his musical activity. But Dima learned to deal with these difficulties - either experience helps, or such a character.
KM TV: Any fears? So you go out to the public, should there still be a fear of the audience?
Dmitry: Yes. A DJ needs to understand what kind of music he likes the most in order to play it next.
Now Dima will not disappear for sure. If anything, you can always go to psychologists. After all, with such enthusiasm, he learned to feel people, to see them through and through.
Dmitry: The Moscow public is generally very cheerful and positive. She is lazy and loves something so fun, funky. Petersburg is a completely different audience. There, people will trample into the club, even if it is 40 km from the city, far away. Our Muscovites, if the club is located outside the Garden Ring, will not go there. They need to leave one club, cross the road here, get into another. Our audience is very heavy on the rise and very shy of their emotions.
People cannot fail. The public either likes the DJ or they don't. But with technology, things are much more complicated.
Dmitry: When you arrive in an unfamiliar city, a club, one thing doesn’t work right away, the other doesn’t work, it’s uncomfortable for you here. Instead of thinking about which track to put on, you think about how it would play out here, how it would not leave, squeak, buzz, etc. There are such moments.
But Dima doesn't care. For him, the whole process has a special meaning.
Dmitry: This is not self-expression, that is, something that people enjoy. People enjoy the fact that they came to dance, someone eats kebabs in nature, someone sits at home watching TV. My pleasure is when the dance floor is full of people, I play and everyone does like this. I achieve this every time. I try to get in, to guess the musical tastes of these people. And when it works out - that's a thrill.
There is no time left for other pleasures. Therefore, they, the pleasures, have a strict hierarchy. The next thing Dima prefers...
Dmitry: Sleep.
KM TV: Do you like to sleep? And it would seem that a night dweller ...
Dmitry: The fact of the matter is that I do not have enough time to sleep, so when I have the opportunity to sleep, I do it with great pleasure, with greed. And in general - music, music, music.
Dreams come true have a special property: they become reality. And side by side with reality there is always a routine. Therefore, even the most long-awaited life can simply get bored.
Dmitry: I already think that we need to tie it up. Still, I have television, I have radio. But I can not.
Dima Olenin is used to setting goals and achieving them with his own work. And maybe the secret is that his goals are not selfish?
Dmitry: I want to sleep. But in fact, my dream is this: I want to become a good DJ, I want to make a good project, a good group of musicians. Make it so that it brings joy to others, so that you can arrange a holiday.
