His father, Rudolf Naumovich Solovyov (born Vinitskovsky), and his mother, Inna Solomonovna Solovyova (née Shapiro), both graduated from the history and philology department of the Moscow State V. I. Lenin Pedagogical Institute. Later, his father taught political economy at a school of statistics, while his mother worked as an art critic at the Battle of Borodino museum.
In 1980, he graduated from the elite, English-language secondary School no. 27 in Moscow, where the children and grandchildren of diplomats and members of the Central Committee of the CPSU used to study, and entered the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys, graduating in 1986.
In 1989, Solovyov completed graduate studies at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations in Moscow. He taught physics, mathematics, and astronomy at the School No. 27 until 1990.
In December 2004, Solovyov featured as a solo singer in his first CD album Solovyinye Treli (Nightingale Warbles).
Currently, he is the presenter of a TV talk show, Duel on Rossiya 1 (2010–2014, 2015–2017). Solovyov also hosts a debate show, Evening with Vladimir Solovyov, on Rossiya 1.
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
On 23 February 2022, a day before the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Solovyov was sanctioned by the European Union. He is barred from entering the EU countries so long as the sanctions remain in force, and all his EU domiciled assets have been frozen. His villa on Lake Como, Italy, was later seized by Italian authorities. The seized properties were valued at 8 million euros, though the exact number of properties involved is unknown.
In the lead-up to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Solovyov claimed that Russia has "enough firepower for the full annihilation of the Ukrainian military infrastructure without an incursion of forces into Ukrainian territory. But we aren't preparing to do this." He later voiced support for Putin's invasion of Ukraine, saying that "Today is the day that a righteous operation was launched for the de-Nazification in Ukraine."
On 27 February 2022 Solovyov said he had been placed on a list of international sanctions after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and that his ownership of real estate in Lake Como, Italy was at risk. Later, on March 5, 2022, The Guardian wrote that the Financial Guard of Italy seized his villa, along with billionaire Alisher Usmanov's property. On April 6, 2022, his villa on the shores of Lake Como caught fire and was severely damaged, in what was probably an intentional fire.
In March 2022 Solovyov warned: "if you think we're going to stop with Ukraine, think 300 times, I will remind you that Ukraine is merely an intermediate stage in the provision of the safety of the Russian Federation."[31] He accused Western-backed Ukrainian "Banderites" of attempting to assassinate him because he is "Jewish anti-fascist.
On 20 April 2022, Solovyov talked on Russian state TV about a new stage of the war that started as part of the "special operation" against Ukraine. He said this new stage of war would be against "NATO's war machine and all its citizens", asserting that Russia "will show no mercy".
On 26 April 2022, while discussing the possibility of World War III and nuclear war with Solovyov on The Evening with Vladimir Solovyov, RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan said, "Personally, I think that the most realistic way is the way of World War III, based on knowing us and our leader, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin knowing how everything works around here, it's impossible—there is no chance—that we will give up…We're all going to die someday." Solovyov added, "But we will go to heaven, while they will simply croak." Igor Albin, former Vice Governor of Saint Petersburg, wrote on his Telegram channel: "Crazy 'propagandists' will burn in hell. You don't scold your own in times of war, but you shouldn't be proud of them either. There will be no winners in a nuclear war!" In June 2022, Solovyov warned that the US-UK military shipments to Ukraine were seen by the Kremlin as an escalation of the conflict, saying that "I hope we'll live through this. If everything keeps progressing the way that it is, only a couple of mutants in Lake Baikal will survive; the rest will be destroyed in a massive nuclear strike."
On 13 May 2022, he complained that Russian troops were being sent to Ukraine with "hopelessly obsolete weapons."
