Midfielder Dmitry Tarasov became one of the main discoveries of the 2009 Russian Championship, playing 25 matches for Moscow and scoring 2 goals. The quality of Tarasov’s play, his youth and physical characteristics impressed not only the fans, but also the head coach of the national team, Guus Hiddink, who invited the midfielder to one of the team’s training camps. Thus, the Dutchman made it clear that he considers Tarasov as a promising player for the national team.
On December 28, 2009, Dmitry became a Lokomotiv player, signing a three-year contract with the club. Tarasov immediately became a player in the starting lineup and played 26 matches in his first year. However, Dmitry's next season was marred by constant injuries, which did not allow Dmitry to fight for a place in the main team. Having finally cured his sores and even changed his number for luck, Tarasov returned to the Lokomotiv support zone and scored a goal in the first match after his return. At the end of the 2012/13 season, Dmitry became the team leader, and after Guilherme was injured, he led his teammates onto the field with the captain’s armband several times, demonstrating leadership qualities.

February Played in two friendly matches at the second training camp, but was injured in the match against Ludogorets. As a result, the railway midfielder was diagnosed with a torn anterior cruciate ligament, and the vice-captain went to Germany for surgery.
At first glance, it seems that after his divorce from Olga Buzova, the athlete is absolutely happy, because in a matter of days his wife Anastasia Kostenko will give him a long-awaited daughter.
But Dmitry Tarasov’s sports career is under threat - the club still has not renewed his contract, which expired on June 30. And if it was previously reported that the 31-year-old football player, despite the lack of an agreement, continues to train with Lokomotiv, today it became known that the midfielder refused the training camp.
According to the club's coach Yuri Semin, Tarasov can really change the team.
“Negotiations are underway. He stayed and did not go to the training camp. Not only him, but also Vitalik Denisov and Pejcinovic. They are negotiating. How things will go further, I cannot answer. It’s better to ask this question to the president of the club,” Semin said.
Previously, information appeared that the club’s management was not entirely satisfied with the sporting achievements that Tarasov demonstrates. That is why the footballer was allegedly offered a new contract, but with his salary halved. Apparently, Dmitry is not happy with this arrangement.
The footballer himself does not comment on the situation. Instead, he is having fun in the company of his best friends - the Miranchuk brothers, who, unlike Tarasov, were called up to the Russian national team. Previously, Dmitry told fans that he was worried about his colleagues and only wished them victory at the World Championships.
The Lokomotiv coach, meanwhile, noted that the situation with Tarasov should be resolved in the coming days.
“In the near future, I hope everything will become clear. We can't wait any longer. Otherwise, there won’t be enough time to prepare,” said Yuri Semin.
Lokomotiv's first match should take place on July 27 - the team will meet with CSKA in the fight for the Russian Super Cup. By this time, all players must return to the club and undergo a series of medical examinations and training.
Fans are already betting on whether Dmitry Tarasov will continue his career in the capital or leave for another region in pursuit of a big salary. According to fans, the athlete should not decide to make changes, since Lokomotiv is one of the most successful football teams in the country, which means that Olga Buzova’s ex-husband will be able to achieve maximum career results here.
On July 5, it became known that Dmitry Tarasov still did not sign a contract with the Moscow football club. Chairman of the Board of Directors of Lokomotiv Anatoly Meshcheryakov noted that they do not intend to reconsider the issue of the athlete’s salary. He also indirectly confirmed that Tarasov is negotiating with the Rostov club. To many fans, this seemed no coincidence, because the star’s wife, Anastasia Kostenko, was born and raised in the Rostov region.
Communicating with the Sports.ru portal, Yuri Semin noted that he would like to maintain a strong team composition, because he needs to maintain Lokomotiv’s status as a national champion, and for this he needs strong players motivated for success. Apparently, 31-year-old Tarasov no longer fits into this lineup.
Dmitry Alekseevich Tarasov is the most famous, bright and talented football player who is a sought-after midfielder. Dmitry has been playing for the Lokomotiv team from the capital for a long time.
Tarasov is one of the richest football players in the country, as he annually receives at least 1,500,000 euros from the management of Loko Moscow. Most sports analysts argue that this salary is greatly inflated, since Dmitry entered the field only three times during the year.
Not only career growth deserves special attention, but also the midfielder’s personal life, which is full of scandals and disappointments.

Biography and personal life of Dmitry Tarasov
The biography and personal life of Dmitry Tarasov are directly related to sports and constant training. Little Dimka was restless and very active, so it was decided to channel his energy into a peaceful direction. The boy began to practice karate and simply fell ill with martial arts. Even now, Dmitry is very successful in fights without rules.
However, the boy was drawn with terrible force into the world of football, which his father and godfather played with him. The seven-year-old boy began training at the Labor Reserves sports club, where he immediately became a striker.
Dima did well at school, trained constantly, and at the age of twelve he scored the winning goal in a match against Spartak. Higher-level coaches became interested in the talented boy, so already in the sixth grade he began studying at the Spartak Youth Sports School.
Until 2006, the guy played for the Spartak football team, where he was a midfielder, however, a conflict with the coaching staff forced him to leave. Dmitry moved to a lower level team - Tomsk "Tom", where he spent the next three years.
In 2009, Tarasov ended up in the Moscow football club; he was invited to the Russian national football team’s training camp, after which he joined Lokomotiv. In the same year, Dmitry became Master of Sports of the Russian Federation and vice-president of Loko, and was also included in the main team.
In 2013, he received the title of best midfielder of the season and began playing for the Russian national team. The following year was terrible for Tarasov, who constantly received serious injuries, due to which he was unable to travel to the World Cup in sunny Brazil.
By the way, Dmitry Tarasov found himself at the center of a scandal when he appeared in 2016 after the 1/16 finals of the Europa League between the strongest teams Fenerbahçe and Lokomotiv wearing a T-shirt with a portrait of Vladimir Putin. A case was opened against the team due to violation of the clause related to advertising and political propaganda.
Dmitry is an incredibly creative person, which is why he appears in films, including “Poor People” and “Outside the Game.” By the way, Tarasov writes poetry and composes songs.
The personal life of Dmitry Tarasov is full of surprises; he met his future wives by chance and loved them unrequitedly until he met his next love. Dmitry is a person who, for the sake of his new love, is ready to change his previous passion, so he does not remain on friendly terms with them.
Family and children of Dmitry Tarasov
He has a family and children of Dmitry Tarasov, like every self-respecting person. Dmitry was born not in the capital, but in the provincial town of Kansk in Siberia. The boy and his family moved to Moscow much later. His parents never played sports professionally, although they supported their son in this.
Dima’s father, Alexey Tarasov, devoted his entire life to serving in the army; he was a career officer.
Dmitry’s mother, Olga Tarasova, worked at the Pervomaisky department store in Cannes.
“Dmitry Tarasov and Alexander Tarasov are brothers or not” - this question has been troubling football fans for a long time. It is worth noting that Alexander - Tequila Tarasov - is not a relative, but a friend, namesake and ex-boyfriend of his wife Olga Buzova.
Dmitry has no brothers, but he has an older sister, Ekaterina Tarasova, who is five years older than her famous relative. Katya is married, she is a mother of many children, raising two daughters and a son.
Tarasov adores his nephews and his own daughter; they will always be welcome guests in his home. Dima had a hard time with the fact that his Angelinka was left with her mother during the divorce, but he is trying to compensate for the time when they are not together.
Daughter of Dmitry Tarasov - Angelina Tarasova
The daughter of Dmitry Tarasov, Angelina Tarasova, was born in marriage to Oksana Osinkina in 2009. The baby's full name is Angelina-Anna, she is incredibly similar to her star father.
Dmitry paid compensation for the baby in the amount of 1,800,000 rubles, but for a long time his wife did not allow him to see her. Now the guy is making up for lost time, he constantly appears in public with the little beauty.
Angelina studies at school, she is a very inquisitive and restless girl. The baby is very persistent and stubborn, she loves to come to football matches and cheer for her beloved dad.
The girl also sings, draws and learns to play the piano.
Ex-wife of Dmitry Tarasov - Oksana Osinkina
Dmitry Tarasov’s ex-wife, Oksana Osinkina, appeared in the football player’s life in 2008, when he accidentally gave her a ride home. The girl was a professional gymnast, so she did not leave the capital and did not go to Tomsk for her beloved.
In 2009, the young people had a high-profile wedding, and they had a daughter. Oksana devoted quite a lot of time to training and too little to her husband. Dmitry became interested in Olga Buzova, who caused the breakdown of the marriage in 2011.
Dmitry himself says that this is not so, because he met the platinum blonde only three months after the divorce. One way or another, Oksana experienced this event terribly, even tried to get huge compensation and prohibit communication with her daughter.
Dmitry Tarasov's ex-wife - Olga Buzova
Dmitry Tarasov's ex-wife, Olga Buzova, dated for a whole year, when the guy was still married to his first wife. The romance between Olga and Dima was beautiful, stormy and bright, it was like a fairy tale.
After the wedding, the guys lived in perfect harmony, they never quarreled and were an example of a strong family. Olga and Dmitry went on business trips, however, they actively communicated on social networks, providing tender posts with the hashtag Tarabuziki.
They appeared together in the series “Poor People,” where they played themselves. Buzova and Tarasov led a public life. The young people did not hesitate to talk about the details of their personal lives and recreation, and also constantly staged practical jokes.
When Dmitry Tarasov was injured, Buzova was constantly by his side and helped him rehabilitate. The football player wrote songs in honor of his beloved woman, and she organized exclusive holidays in his honor with raffles and expensive gifts.
During the marriage, a luxurious mansion was purchased for 100,000,000 rubles; they strived to become parents, however, nothing worked out. At the same time, two Yorkshire terriers appeared in the family, which Olga considered her children.
Everything collapsed almost immediately after Olga Buzova admitted that she could not have children. Then Olga’s personal correspondence ended up on social networks, which was hacked by hackers, but she blamed Tarasov for it. According to Olya, Dmitry did this in order to calmly leave for a new passion.
Wedding and divorce of Olga Buzova and Dmitry Tarasov
The wedding and divorce of Olga Buzova and Dmitry Tarasov are the most memorable events of 2012-2016. They were constantly watched by millions of eyes of fans and sports fans, so all the ups and downs of the couple immediately became public knowledge.
In 2012, a luxurious wedding took place in one of the capital's registry offices, which attracted the attention of all fans and journalists. It all looked like a fairy tale, however, it quickly ended.
The guys separated, however, after some time information appeared on the Internet that the young people had suddenly reconciled and would live together. There was a rumor that Olya and Dima even vacationed together in the Maldives.
Fans noticed that not everything was so smooth in the lives of young people when Buzova stopped posting new posts and joint photos on her Instagram page. They were shocked by Olga’s confession that she was lonely and did not have a close and understanding person nearby.
Another suspicious point was that Buzova appeared without a partner at the presentation of her long-awaited and prestigious award. She went all-in and for the first time did not support her husband during the next operation.
The divorce did not take long to happen and was completed in 2016. The reasons for the dissolution of the marriage were infidelity on both sides, as well as the fact that Olga began to talk about the child. According to the marriage contract, a woman does not have the right to jointly acquired property, although she has been married for four years. Dmitry even took away his beloved wife’s car and rights to the mansion.
By the way, some fans of the couple claimed that nothing happened, and the divorce was nothing more than PR. However, everything turned out to be not so simple: divorce is a reality, and the Buzova-Tarasov couple no longer exists.
Dmitry Alekseevich Tarasov is a football player, widely known in the circles of the Russian elite. The outwardly attractive athlete is constantly in the spotlight of numerous fashion magazines. In a certain sense, he achieved such popularity thanks to his marriage to the famous TV presenter and ex-participant of the reality show “Dom-2”.
Russian football star Dmitry Tarasov was born on March 18, 1987 in Moscow. The future footballer spent most of his childhood in the Russian capital, where he lived with his parents and sister Katya, who is five years older than her brother. Today it is difficult to imagine how Lokomotiv would manage without their midfielder, but Dima had every chance of not getting into big-time football: the boy’s father wanted him to do karate, but the child was not interested in martial arts.
From an early age, the father seriously took up raising his son, introducing Dima to sports. The father’s similar desire soon yielded a positive result, and the other children were already clearly lagging behind, losing in skill on the field to little Dima. After some time, the parents began to support their son’s hobby: Tarasov tells how his father woke up the heir every Sunday to play football together.
Soon the boy had no time left for entertainment, and in his free moment he ran into the yard to kick a ball with the neighbor kids. Subsequently, the father enrolls the child in the football section of the Sports School “Labor Reserves”.
Gradually, daily classes disciplined Dmitry and developed a fighting character. Footballer Dmitry Tarasov, who had already played in youth games, was noticed by Spartak coach Valentin Gavrilovich Ivakin during one match and invited him to the team. Dmitry Tarasov played quite successfully for Spartak, graduated from the Sports School, but then he began to have friction with the club’s management.
Football
As a teenager, Dmitry trained at the Spartak Youth Sports School, and already in 2004 he started playing in the youth football team of this sports organization. At the end of the contract (in 2006), Tarasov moved to the Tom football club, for which he moved from Moscow to Tomsk. The reason for such a drastic step was a complex and unpleasant situation: the famous team did not really need the footballer, and signing a contract with them meant remaining in his old position for another five years. Then the football player’s agent found an option with Tom, and although his parents were not happy with this decision, the young man left for the province.
He played for Tom for three seasons, and not all games went well: the footballer would later tell in an interview that the player was even sent off the field, and several matches were outright failures for Tarasov. The midfielder was clearly not pleased with his performance for the club from Tomsk. In 54 games, Dmitry scored only twice.
The next team in which Dmitry Tarasov played was the Moscow football club. The guy doesn’t show any special results here, scoring two goals in 25 meetings. The athlete was not happy with goals at the initial stage of his professional career.
However, having played one season in the national championship, Tarasov managed to take one of the key positions in the team and attract the attention of the Honored Coach of Russia at that time, who invited the promising midfielder to train with the country’s main football team. Due to high competition in the national team, there was no place for the midfielder. As a result, the middle line player enters the field as part of the team only in 2013.
Not only Hiddink appreciated the talent of Dmitry Tarasov: in the same year, the young man signed a three-year contract with FC Lokomotiv. And in November 2009, the football player received the title of Master of Sports of Russia. A breakthrough begins in Tarasov’s career as part of the “railroad workers”. This famous Moscow team becomes the most important team in the player’s football biography.
Dmitry Tarasov as part of Lokomotiv 
But fans of the Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder blame Olga Buzova for the troubles, suggesting that she was the culprit for the breakdown of a long-term relationship. Tarasov’s relatives have repeatedly pointed out that Olga is too active on social networks, and the past in “House-2” is the reason for the girl’s love to share even the most intimate things with fans.
Celebrity fans call the lack of children of the couple another version of family breakdown.
The loudest divorces in Russian show businessPersonal correspondence between the TV presenter cannot be ruled out as the reason for the separation of Tarasov and Buzova. In November 2016, information appeared in the Russian media that unknown hackers had hacked Olga’s mobile device, and the girl’s personal correspondence was in the public domain. Then the public got a chance to get acquainted with audio recordings of conversations of the Dom-2 star, watch screenshots of correspondence and watch intimate videos with the participation of a celebrity. Online " Instagram“Users actively discussed this story, in which other stars and Olga’s mother participated.
A popular actor was also at the center of the scandal. Buzova and Nagiyev shocked Tarasova. The footballer immediately responded to what happened, saying that the man’s long-standing doubts about his wife were confirmed. In addition, the Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder commented in an obscene manner on an intimate video of his ex-wife that ended up on the Internet.
On January 9, 2018, Dmitry Tarasov married fashion model Anastasia Kostenko. The newlyweds arranged January 29 for relatives and friends.
The footballer proposed to his beloved during a joint trip to the Maldives. In addition to the usual marriage ceremony, the couple underwent a wedding ceremony.
According to the midfielder’s revelations, Dmitry met his future wife at the end of 2016, when his marriage to Olga had already cracked. And already on December 30, 2016, husband and wife.
In March of the following year, Tarasov and Kostenko celebrated a housewarming in the house that the player originally built for Buzova.
After the marriage, Internet users even began to bet on how long the football player’s new marriage would last. After all, Tarasov, who so zealously defended the private side of life in his marriage to Olga Buzova, today puts his relationship with Anastasia Kostenko on public display.
The model has already shown herself to be a wise woman. Two weeks after registration, the Internet was full of information that Tarasov was cheating on his new wife. Allegedly, Dmitry began courting ex-participant of the show “Boys” Kristina Belokopytova at the club and presented the girl with a gorgeous bouquet, which she posted on her personal microblog. Nastya did not particularly react to this news. Tarasov’s wife only noted that, judging by the photos and videos, in the club “no one cares about Belokopytova.” After some time, the photo with flowers disappeared from Christina’s profile.
At the beginning of 2018, it became known that Kostenko. In April of the same year, Dmitry Tarasov scored a goal in the match between Lokomotiv and Dynamo. The midfielder, as soon as the ball rolled out of the goal, picked it up and stuffed it under his T-shirt, running along the stands. Thus the young man. It is known that the couple prefers traditional childbirth; Dmitry will not be present during the birth of the child.
In the same month, information appeared that Anastasia was placed in storage. Due to the hospitalization of his beloved, Tarasov missed the premiere of the film “Offside,” to which the Lokomotiv team arrived in full force.
Income
Dmitry Tarasov is called one of the most overrated football players in Russia, because the midfielder’s income impresses even football veterans. He receives €1.5 million per year under his contract with Lokomotiv.
Many sports analysts argue that such a football player’s salary does not correspond to the level of a midfielder, since in the 2016-2017 season the midfielder appeared on the field only three times. These figures were the worst in Tarasov’s professional career. If the player does not improve his performance, the young man's estimated value will decrease.
According to British media reports, Tarasov's current market value is €2.4 million. Considering the fact that the football player could have been bought for €3 million in 2015, a further drop in price on the transfer market can be predicted. In March 2014, football clubs could offer the highest amount for the Russian midfielder - €5 million.
According to 2017 data, the midfielder's income is €2.4 million per year.
Dmitry Tarasov now
On May 5, 2018, Dmitry Tarasov, together with the Lokomotiv team, became the champion of Russia for the first time since 2004. In the decisive match against Zenit, the midfielder was injured: when he collided with Anton Zabolotny, Dmitry cut his eyebrow.
Dmitry Tarasov on the field Many saw this as a sign. After all, a couple of days before the game, news appeared on the Internet that a Spartak fan saw Tarasov in a restaurant in the company of friends. Allegedly, Dmitry smoked a hookah and drank alcohol. After the midfielder saw the young man taking a photo, he approached the fan and... Then the player’s comrades approached the guy and began to threaten him. This information immediately spread across the Internet. Dmitry denied the rumor and said that they wanted to stage a provocation against him.
On May 11, 2018, it became known that the famous football player was not included in the list of players who will represent Russia at the FIFA World Cup. Evil tongues immediately called the midfielder’s failure “Buzova’s prophecy.” The player’s representatives have not yet announced the official reason for Dmitry’s failure to join the national team. However, fans of the midfielder saw advantages in this event. Since the world championship coincided with the date of birth of Tarasov’s wife, the footballer was able to spend more time with his beloved.
The day before this news, information about Dmitry’s new betrayal of his wife was leaked onto the Internet. This time, an anonymous source said that the football player more than once invited the fan to “have fun,” to which she agreed. Neither Tarasov nor Kostenko responded to this news.

“Many footballers have a tradition of kissing the club emblem on their scarf or T-shirt. I'm not doing that yet. I think that first you need to give many years to this team and become an integral part of it. And I’m still just at the beginning of my career.”
Childhood
Dmitry Tarasov comes from the small town of Kansk in the Krasnodar region. He was born on March 18, 1987. His father instilled in him a love of sports from an early age. He forced his son to do exercises and jogging every day. And at the age of 6, Dmitry was sent to the karate section. True, Tarasov himself loved football most of all. He spent all his free time in the yard, kicking a ball with his peers. And although Dmitry’s father insisted on fighting sports until the very end, one day he finally resigned himself and accepted his son’s choice.
As a result, it was his father who took Dmitry to the football section. It was a school under the Labor Reserves team. And the first coach of the future football player was Sergei Belkin. Afterwards, during the youth championships, the management of Moscow Spartak drew attention to the young talent. He was invited to the team, where his development was carried out by a fairly well-known specialist Valentin Ivakin.
Training at Spartak went well, Tarasov was in good standing and was ready to be included in the main team. But it didn’t work out. Dmitry had a strong argument with the management about something. The athlete still does not disclose the reason. But as a result, Tarasov had to look for a new club.
Career
Dmitry Tarasov began his professional career in the Tom club, where he played for three seasons. And then he was bought by FC Moscow. He played 25 matches for the capital team and managed to score 2 goals. After that, the coach of the Russian national team, Guus Hidding, noticed him and invited him to several games.
After playing for the national team, many clubs became interested in Tarasov. But he chose Lokomotiv. As Dmitry himself says, the key role in his transition was personally played by the coach of the “railroad workers”, Yuri Semin. Tarasov scored his first goal for his new club in the capital's derby against Dynamo. This happened on April 4, 2010.
But Tarasov nevertheless became an integral part of Lokomotiv not under Semin, but under the Croatian team coach, Slaven Bilic. Dmitry had his best season in 2013/14. Then, according to the results of the Russian Championship, he was recognized as one of the best midfielders. During the same period, Dmitry distinguished himself for the first time in the national team. This happened in November 2013, in a match against the South Korean team. As part of Lokomotiv, Tarasov won the Russian Cup and bronze medals at the national championship.
Personal life
Dmitry Tarasov’s personal life sometimes overshadows his sporting achievements. He is married to the famous TV presenter Olga Buzova. Moreover, this is the footballer’s second marriage; from his first he has a daughter, Angelina. Many journalists believe that it was Buzova who destroyed Tarasov’s first family. But Dmitry himself assures that he met Olga after breaking up with his wife Oksana.
“My wife is used to cameras and media attention. This was new to me, but over time I got used to it. Although I do not accompany her to all events. Sport mode remains in first place"
Tarasov's divorce turned out to be quite loud. The wife demanded serious compensation from the football player - about 20 million rubles. But in reality, she received only about two, plus monthly alimony in the amount of 50 thousand rubles.
The wedding of Dmitry Tarasov and Olga Buzova was relatively modest. Only 70 guests were invited - the closest friends. They don't have children yet. The press from time to time suggests that Buzova is infertile, but there is no official confirmation of this information.
