He struggled with a serious illness for a long time, but continued to work hard and did not leave the stage until his last strength.
Kogan was called tireless in his creativity, he was the adornment of any orchestra and everyone’s favorite. And also - one of four violinists in the world who play 24 caprices for solo violin by Niccolo Paganini, which at one time were declared unplayable. Dmitry is the third generation famous family Koganov, he was part of a great musical dynasty. His grandfather is the outstanding violinist Leonid Kogan, his grandmother is the famous violinist and teacher Elizaveta Gilels, his father is conductor Pavel Kogan, his mother is pianist Lyubov Kazinskaya.
The musician had a special relationship with Ossetia. His mother Lyubov Vladimirovna is half Ossetian; she raised a talented son, sacrificing her career for him. Dmitry has performed concerts in our republic more than once - for the first time in 1997 with the State Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra headed by Pavel Yadykh, then the violinist was one of the first to give a charity concert in Beslan after the terrorist attack.

Fatima Soslanbekovna is Lyubov Kazinskaya’s second cousin, and she knew Dmitry Kogan as a child. According to her, in addition to family, she and Dmitry were also united by a spiritual connection.
“Lyuba, his mother, once told me that when Dima was very little, for some reason he avoided everything related to music, but then he became so carried away that they could not take the violin away from him. At the age of seven, Dima had a violin under his chin formed age spot, this is how the boy literally became one with musical instrument and didn’t let him out of his hands.”
From the official biography it is known that from the age of six Kogan studied violin at the Central Music School at the Moscow State Conservatory. P.I. Tchaikovsky. At the age of ten he performed for the first time with a symphony orchestra, and at fifteen he performed with the orchestra in Great hall Moscow Conservatory.

“When Dima first came to Ossetia with a concert,” recalls Professor Boris Tomaev ( cousin Elena Kadieva-Tomaeva - grandmother of Dmitry Kogan - editor's note) - he was still very young, but already a virtuoso. Played for memory the most complex work- Sibelius concerto, conducted by Pavel Yadykh, who, of course, immediately appreciated the boy. Dima was indeed very talented and bright musician. About the concerts that I had the opportunity to attend - both here and in Moscow, I can only say one thing - excellent and the highest degree of performance."
According to Boris Mikhailovich, he learned about his great-nephew’s illness last year. “We hoped for foreign clinics in Germany and Israel, where Dima was treated, but they also turned out to be powerless in the face of such a terrible disease as oncology.”
“He was a bright musician, an innovator,” continues Khabalova. “Yes, today there are many talented and gifted people, but there are only a few as hardworking as Dima. He managed to realize a lot creative projects for very short time. What heights could you still achieve?"
Fatima Khabalova also spoke about plans that, unfortunately, were not destined to come true. There was a preliminary agreement with Dmitry Kogan about the musician’s arrival in Ossetia in the fall for the “Visiting Larisa Gergieva” festival.
“We even discussed the repertoire with him, but, alas, fate decreed otherwise,” says Fatima Soslanbekovna.
Artistic director State Theater Opera and Ballet of RNO-Alania Larisa Abisalovna was sincerely upset at the untimely death of the great musician and expressed condolences to the Kogan family.
By the will of the same fate, the Koganov thread was broken with Dmitry, he was married to Ksenia Chilingarova (daughter of the famous polar explorer, hero of Russia Artur Chilingarov - editor's note), but there were no children in the marriage.
