Composition of the KVN team. Life after KVN - who became famous. Shaban Muslimov - team captain

The best KVN teams forever remained in the hearts of spectators and participants and entered the history of the game as legends. Over the entire existence of the Fun and Resourceful Club, the game has seen many ups and downs, successful and failed performances, as well as sparkling jokes that have become firmly established in the everyday life of KVN fans. Ordinary students were able to provide all this - only their long and hard work on each performance helps them treat everyday problems with humor and slight irony.

The KVN team “Odessa Gentlemen” showed its worth in 1986, when it became the champion of the revived game under the leadership of captain Svyatoslav Pelishenko. After this, the title of champions came to the Odessa gentlemen again in 1990.

In each game, the young people showed excellent results, taking prizes. The unique charm of the participants was borrowed from the 60s, and jokes with a philosophical overtone were an unsurpassed success. Everyone could recognize the Odessa gentlemen by their indispensable attribute - white scarves, which the young people did not part with at any joint performance.

It was the “Odessa Gentlemen” who first proclaimed Alexander Maslyakov the President of the Cheerful and Resourceful Club, and since then this title has never left the game’s host.

Although the team left the KVN championships grid literally in the last century, many “gentlemen” are still known and loved - read about the fates KVN people after KVN.

Ural dumplings

Perhaps " Ural dumplings "can be called the old KVN team, because they finished their last season at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. After playing for five seasons, they were able to achieve the championship title and leave the Club stage in the prime of their glory. This helped the “dumplings” establish their own show, which is still popular today.

An interesting fact is that even now, almost 20 years after last performance as a KVN team, participants of the “Ural dumplings” are shown on television and concert venues countries with virtually unchanged original composition. Undoubtedly, this is the only team that was able to maintain its integrity and carry it through such a long period.

Children of Lieutenant Schmidt

During the merger of Tomsk “Lux” and Barnaul “Kaleidoscope” in 1996, no one suspected that the resulting composition “Children of Lieutenant Schmidt” would gain popularity among viewers throughout the country.

Three championship titles, as well as multiple awards in various humorous competitions, made the “children” one of the most titled KVN teams. Like the “Odessa Gentlemen”, the “children” chose elements of clothing that were recognizable to everyone - jackets and caps with black and white stripes. Multi-colored scarves helped them highlight the individuality of each participant. This is exactly how “Children of Lieutenant Schmidt” will forever remain in the hearts of KVN fans.

Burnt out by the sun

For a long time" Burnt out by the sun"were not only included in the list of the best KVN teams, but also headed it! Since their very first performance back in 2000, young people have earned recognition from audiences across the country. And a little later, when Mikhail Galustyan became the leader, “Burnt by the Sun” achieved unprecedented success.

All their jokes were on the verge of what was permitted, which added spice to every game with their participation. The daring humor combined with stunning acting fully met expectations - “Burnt by the Sun” took silver several times, the Summer Cup, and in 2003 they earned the championship.

County town

Perhaps none of the teams can boast such a history as “ County town" IN different years“Burnt by the Sun” and the team from St. Petersburg stood in their way. Just a few points separated them from participating in the final three times in a row.

As a result, in 2002, Maslyakov decided to take “Uyezdny Gorod” to the final games, regardless of the results of the current competition. This decision became fateful for Uezdnoy Gorod, because it was this time that they were able to win the championship title.

It is noteworthy that it was the participants of the “County City” who began to use repeating images in all their games, which was later used by other teams.

RUDN University

RUDN University, better known as simply the KVN team of Friendship of Peoples, is still the only one of its kind, because its composition included more than ten young people different nationalities, who performed in a unique symbiosis.

The current composition of the national team has not yet had time to fully express itself, but the classic “RUDN University” showed itself simply brilliantly in 2006, when it managed to win the championship, and also twice at the festival in Jurmala, winning KiViN in gold.

Most of RUDN's jokes are based on its composition - slight teasing of representatives various peoples and nationalities helped the audience to look at their lives from a different perspective, to understand the prevailing lifestyle neighbors, and somewhere to reconsider your attitude towards them. Despite the fact that many jokes have a political connotation, they are all very sincere and contain good humor, which has become fundamental to the success of RUDN University.

Today, the champion team of RUDN University gathers only for very important events, such as the anniversary of your favorite club, but some participants can be seen on television screens - Pierre Narcisse, Ararat Keshchyan and Sangadzhi Tarbaev - best captain RUDN University

Diesel

Ukrainian KVN team "Diesel" originated from the very beginning of XXI century, but at that time performed only on the territory of Ukraine. Three years later, the young people managed to make their way to Moscow and take part in the Major League.

This is one of the few Ukrainian teams that showed excellent results, although they could not take the championship. One way or another, “Diesel” paved the way for the performances of Ukrainian KVN participants on Moscow stages, which became an excellent help for “Dnepr”, which was able to take the almost unattainable heights of the championship.

Dnepr team

Currently, there is only one KVN team “Dnepr”, the captain of which is Igor Lastochkin. The team was founded in 2005, but true success came to the young people a little later. Best Performances"Dnepr" dates back to 2013, when they became the vice-champion of the Major League.

And, although the Dnepr team failed to become champions, they won the favor of many spectators and fans of the Club. The popularity of the KVN team was brought to them by the duet “Igor and Lena”, which enjoyed undoubted success. The story of a young couple in different life situations gave the audience the opportunity to look at themselves and their loved ones from a humorous side, which is why it was so close to the people.

In the most successful year of 2013, Dnepr completed its performances in the Major League.

Raisa

The Raisa team became a sip for KVN fresh air, while never ceasing to amaze the audience and jury members. The fact is that all the participants of “Raisa” are girls, which in itself is unusual for the Club.

Everyone expected from “Rais” some kind of softness, tenderness and special femininity, and yes, their expectations were justified, but not always. The team's humorous performances were sometimes very far from women's jokes, and the abundance of props simply amazed the imagination.

All this allowed the Rais to break into the Major League and win bronze in 2012.

Megapolis

This is the Moscow team, whose performance on the Club stage was like a hurricane. In 2004, Megapolis presented its performances in the Premier League for the first time. All the numbers were an unsurpassed success, which allowed Megapolis to take part in the finals in the very first season.

A year later, the team already showed its worth in the Major League games, where it shared success with the team from Abkhazia.

Despite its rapid ascent, Megapolis quickly disintegrated and did not consolidate its success. Today, some of its participants still delight us with their humor in such shows as “ProjectorParisHilton” and Comedy Woman.

Team of Kamyzyak region

“Kamyzyaki” began their ascent to the pinnacle of fame in 2010 and still appear on the Club’s stage.

The beginning of the creativity of young people cannot be called very successful, since they paved their way through perseverance, constantly working to correct their mistakes and trying again and again. And, as a result, all their efforts paid off, because in 2015 “Kamyzyaki” were able to become champions of the Major League. In addition, their collection of achievements includes the Moscow Mayor's Cup, which they won in 2013.

Over the seven years of the composition’s existence, “Kamyzyaki” was able to present people with many jokes on all sorts of topics, but most of all, TV viewers remembered humorous numbers on acute social topics, as well as miniatures about the Kamyzyak court. Thanks to these performances, the Kamyzyaki were able to make their way to the top of the Major League.

Union

The team from Tyumen "Union" is definitely the most titled team of the last decade. And this title went to the team members for a reason. Over the five years of their existence, they were able to win many championship cups, including in the Major League, became owners of five different KiViNs and won the Moscow Mayor's Cup.

The feature of the “Union” is a humorous rehash popular songs on actual problems Russian people. In their repertoire you can find political jokes, humorous numbers about the relationship between men and women, and much more.

“Union” is the most popular team today, and no one has yet been able to repeat their success.

The legendary KVN teams are not only sparkling jokes, unsurpassed actor play and original musical and dance numbers. The true legends of the Club are people whom new members look up to, people whose ideas serve as inspiration for new numbers, whose images remain in the hearts of fans of the game.

The presenter and director of one of the most popular television programs, which has become a national game played in Israel, Japan, and Australia, is the Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful. President of the International Union of KVN and creative association"AMiK".

Preface

In KVN, everything happens differently from normal people. Although normal people have their own reasonable traditions. For example, textbooks are republished every year, corrected and supplemented each time.

This book has already gone through three reprints. And this is not the limit, comrades! After all, KVN changes along with our lives, which means the process of improvement is endless!

The most amazing thing is this book, most of which was written six or seven years ago, KVN members continue to read and even claim that reading this still implies not only historical interest, but also practical benefit.

Our days

Today's KVN is as different from the KVN of 50 years ago as the first television receivers with a lens are different from modern devices with a flat screen, dolby surround sound and other bells and whistles. But still. Where did it all start?

1956

Like a bolt from the blue, the 20th Congress of the CPSU. Stalin's personality cult has been exposed. There are no Sovremennik and Taganka films yet, the songs of Okudzhava and Vysotsky are not yet heard from all the windows, but there is already a breath of freedom in the country. Moscow becomes the capital World Festival youth and students. Young heads are already full of happy hopes, creative projects...

November 8th is International KVN Day. Exactly 50 years ago, in 1961, the first episode of the KVN program was aired - a game that was and to this day remains a second job and calling for KVN players. But the most important thing is that the legendary program has always been the starting point for many Russian cultural figures and show business.

"Veterans" of KVN

One of those for whom KVN became a start in life was Gennady Khazanov. Before appearing on the stage of the club of cheerful and resourceful people, Khazanov tried to enter several theater universities Moscow, but to no avail. Having entered the Moscow Institute of Civil Engineering, Khazanov did not say goodbye to his dream of the stage and took part in student amateur performances, and later began playing in the KVN MISS team.

Khazanov appeared on stage with the famous monologue of a student at a culinary college. "Gullible" small man", whose simplicity often turned into worldly wisdom, instantly became a favorite of the public.

Khazanov never managed to enter the Moscow Art Theater School and the Shchukin School. Only on his second attempt was he accepted into the State School of Circus and pop art, where his teacher was one of the leading actresses of the Moscow Theater of Satire, Nadezhda Ivanovna Slonova. A few years later, Khazanov became one of the most popular domestic artists and the main director of the Variety Theater.

Yuliy Gusman was also at the origins legendary game. He was captain of the Boys from Baku team from 1964 to 1971.

Guzman is considered one of the brightest KVN players of the 60s. He was the first to introduce “organization” into KVN - his team always performed in the same uniform. On the KVN stage, Yuliy Solomonovich was remembered as the author and performer of the stunts “Tearing off the mustache,” “Removing the beard,” and the phrase “I’m like water off Guzman!”

During his participation in KVN, he managed to graduate from the Medical Institute. Nariman Narimanov, graduate school and write a dissertation. However, Guzman never became a doctor.

But he became a director, making several films and staging many performances, including in America, Japan and China.

A new generation of cheerful and resourceful

After closing in 1971, KVN was revived only in 1986.

With the words of the new anthem “We are starting KVN,” the game began a new chapter in its history. The first new KVN champion was the team from Odessa State University.

In total, more than a hundred teams played in the major league.

Many KVN participants, after finishing their playing careers, became popular TV presenters, actors, writers, screenwriters, etc.

For example, in the late 90s, former KVN players created the popular program “O.S.P.”, and among the authors of the idea was the champion of the first KVN women’s team “Only Girls in Jazz” Tatyana Lazareva.

Another “graduate” of KVN, Elena Hanga, subsequently became a popular TV presenter of the sensational programs “About This” and “The Domino Principle”.

She was one of the first to manage to move KVN beyond the domestic airwaves.

So, Hanga played for the World team at the Festival in Israel. And together with former players of the first line-up of the KVN team, she opened a Russian comedy club in New York.

Valdis Pelsh has been on the jury of the KVN Major League more than once.

One of the founders of the "Accident" group himself once played in a student theater, and then in the KVN team of Moscow State University. Viewers remembered Pelsh in the image of a Latvian who does not know Russian well.

In one of the scenes, he addressed Alexey Kortnev (a colleague in the group “Accident” and KVN) with the words: “As my close-minded friend Lesha said...”

When Pelsh came to the “Guess the Melody” program, he decided to put an end to old joke and speak without accents. But the audience was told that in fact the presenter speaks with a wild accent, it’s just that the ViD television company bought for him a special expensive device that muffles the accent. Many took this joke at face value.

Contemporaries of humor

The whole country knows Mikhail Galustyan by unique image a little girl named Gadya Petrovich Khrenova. While studying at a medical school with a degree in international-class obstetrician, he played in the Burnt by the Sun team. Later he entered the Sochi State University of Tourism and Resort Business at the socio-pedagogical faculty with a degree in history and law teacher. However, he was soon expelled for poor attendance, since the team, which rapidly gained popularity, gave three performances a day.

KVN's career helped Galustyan become a sought-after actor, who easily plays the roles of guest workers, security guards, football coaches and other “folk” heroes.

Semyon Slepakov, playing for the Pyatigorsk National Team, also became a real star modern KVN. The matter was not limited to one KVN cup. Now Slepakov is a successful producer and screenwriter. He works on such television shows as “Comedy Club”, “Our Russia”. Since 2010, the former KVN player became the producer of the series “Interns”, and since 2011 - the series “Univer”.

The material was prepared based on information from open sources

To any viewer of the Soviet, and then Russian television The abbreviation KVN has been known for many years, which stands for the Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful.

The program began its history in 1961 when the bosses Soviet television It became clear that people needed to see something fun and relaxed.

For the first three years, the program was hosted by Albert Axelrod, but in 1964 he was replaced by a MIIT student at that time (at this moment this university is called Moscow State University Railways of Emperor Nicholas II) Alexander Maslyakov.

As time has shown, he became a permanent presenter, who still appears on the KVN stage - until 2017!

At first, announcer Svetlana Zhiltsova also helped him. The essence of the program was that amateur teams gathered on the same stage and competed in their sense of humor.

The Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful became so popular that soon a powerful movement dedicated to it appeared throughout the Soviet Union. KVN teams were formed at universities, enterprises of all industries, and political cells. At first they competed at the local level, some gradually moved up " career ladder"and ended up on television!

At some point, stagnation in the Union and numerous complaints against KVN as a program that allowed itself too many liberties led to its closure. This happened in 1971, but in 1986, when big country Perestroika began to shake, KVN was reborn from the ashes.

Oddly enough, but camber Soviet Union did not affect the popularity of the Club at all.

Yes, it has become more difficult to organize meetings and tournaments, because borders have grown between countries, but many local Leagues have appeared, through which teams have hardened, polished their skills and become more interesting.

Moreover, the geography of the movement has expanded significantly - teams have appeared in Europe, the USA, Israel and even Australia!

Separately, it must be said that from KVN players a lot of famous and significant personalities grew up in society. Among the venerable comedians, Mikhail Zadornov and Gennady Khazanov took their first steps in this field at the Club. Among TV presenters early years Valdis Pelsh, Leonid Yakubovich, Mikhail Shats, Sergei Belogolovtsev and many others are associated with this game.

From the generation of the 90s, when humor had already become more frank and in some ways even harsh, came such showmen as Grigory Malygin, Alexander Pushnoy. The following people started their careers in KVN: famous comedians, like many other artists of Comedy Club, Comedy Woman and other TV shows.

And Sangadzhi Tarbaev, known to many from the RUDN team, became public figure and a politician. What is the reason for this phenomenon of the Club? The answer is simple - in order to play in KVN you need to have extraordinary acting skills, have a remarkable sense of humor, be strong personality, ready for exhausting rehearsals and long travels.

Don't miss interesting things:

Not everyone has such a set of qualities, but if such a person is found, fate will generously reward him. And we see that this is happening.

But just above were listed only public people whose youth was associated with KVN, and how many successful businessmen, writers, poets and singers “grew up” from it! Their number is huge! At this point we can safely say that The Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful is a kind of forge of a wide variety of personnel. Let's hope this continues!

KVN today is not only an abbreviation for a popular TV show. This is a game that connects several generations and a huge number of representatives of different countries and cultures. After the next birthday of the club, let's remember the history of KVN, the founders and how it all began.

In the beginning there was BBB

Although official history KVN dates back to 1961, the basis popular show was laid down a little earlier. In 1957, on the eve of the World Festival of Youth and Students, the center of which was Moscow, at a Komsomol meeting it was decided to introduce a humorous program “An Evening of Fun Questions” into the television program. It is worth noting that the prototype of this program was the Czechoslovak TV show “Guess, Fortune, Fortune Teller.” The creators of this game were Sergei Muratov, Albert Axelrod and Mikhail Yakovlev, and composer Nikita Bogoslovsky and aspiring actress Margarita Lifanova were chosen as the hosts of the program.

The format of the TV show “An Evening of Fun Questions” was significantly different from the KVN we were used to. First of all, the game was only released in live, and its participants were the spectators directly. Unfortunately, despite its great popularity, the program was broadcast only three times; due to an overlay on the air, the project was canceled.

The birth of a club of cheerful and resourceful people

Only four years after the closure of the “Evening of Fun Questions” program, the idea of ​​​​creating a humorous television game “The Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful” (or simply KVN) was born. The authors of the humor club games were the same people who worked on the BBB games. “An Evening of Fun Questions” was closed due to problems with viewers who wished to participate in the program. In this regard, the founder of KVN, Sergei Muratov, decided to make the game purely television. And the name KVN was just right: in those days that was the name of the TV brand KVN-49. It was at this time that the format of the game, a competition in wit between different teams, familiar to us from childhood, was laid down.

Debut new TV show took place in November 1961, and Albert Axelrod and Svetlana Zhiltsova became the hosts of KVN some time after the games began broadcasting.

Participants of the first games of the club

Unlike current teams, the first members of the club were students from institutes and universities. In the debut game, the participants were teams from MISS (Moscow Civil Engineering Institute) and the Institute foreign languages. The first programs were broadcast live in the same way as the “Evening of Fun Questions” program once was. And although there was no script as such initially and some of the competitions were invented on the fly, and the rules were improved in the process, the popularity of KVN grew at an amazing speed.

The KVN movement quickly spread throughout the country. Games began to be held not only among students, but also among schoolchildren and vacationers in pioneer camps and enterprises. To get into the game, which aired on TV, teams had to go through a serious selection process, which only the best of the best managed to overcome.

KVN presenter - Alexander Maslyakov

Until 1964, the main host of the TV show was Albert Axelrod, but he left the TV project along with other founders - Sergei Muratov and Mikhail Yakovlev. Instead of Axelrod, a student from the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers, Alexander Maslyakov, who is still the host of the games to this day, was appointed to the position of game manager. major league club.

However, the program was not destined to appear on television for a long time. Players often mocked the ideology of the Soviet regime, so recordings of the club's games began to be censored. Over time, censorship became more stringent, and sometimes even reached the point of absurdity. Thus, KVN participants were not allowed to go on stage with a beard - the censors saw this as a mockery of Karl Marx. And in 1971, due to the teams’ excessively sharp jokes, the program was closed by decision of the director central television Sergei Lapin.

We are starting KVN

Thanks to the efforts of one of the participants in the first KVN, the TV show was aired again. The new founder of KVN, Andrei Menshikov, captain of the MISI team, left the format of the program and the host (Alexandra Maslyakova). But there were some innovations: an invited jury appeared (in the first releases these were the founders of the game), new competitions and a point rating system. Among other things, the host of the program had to take on the role of editor.

So, in 1986, the first game of the revived club of cheerful and resourceful people was shown on the country's television screens. It was at this moment that the club anthem “We are starting KVN” appeared, and past games began with a song performed by Oleg Anofriev.

The television show only needed a few episodes to reach the same level of popularity as previous projects. The KVNO movement has also been revived, moreover, it has spread not only in Russia, but also in some countries Western Europe and in the United States of America.

KVN today

Today, KVN is one of the highest rated television programs. KVnov games are held not only in schools and universities, but also in various enterprises. This humorous club unites participants not only from Russia and neighboring countries, but also from many European countries. Since the game's return to television, more than 100 different teams have taken part in the major league alone.

And although the rules of the game can change even during the competition, regardless of the level of the league (including in the major league of KVN), there are several basic, mandatory conditions. Firstly, KVN is team game, one participant will not be allowed on stage. The team must have a captain or front-man representing it at the captain competition, if one is included in the program. Secondly, testing teams for their ability to joke is necessarily carried out in several competitions, for example, this could be a warm-up, homework or biathlon. Moreover, each game has a thematic title that sets the direction.

On television you can now see major league games, premieres, international games and episodes of children's KVN.

The most famous KVN players

In the very first KVN games, which took place from 1961 to 1971, the participants were such celebrities as Boris Burda, Mikhail Zadornov, Gennady Khazanov, Leonid Yakubovich and Yuliy Gusman (who already for a long time is a permanent member of the jury of major league games).

In addition, almost all the founders of the popular comedy television project “Comedy Club” came from KVN. Thus, Garik Martirosyan headed the “New Armenians” team, Mikhail Galustyan - “ Burnt out by the sun", in which Alexander Revva also performed, Semyon Slepakov - the team of the city of Pyatigorsk, Pavel Volya and Timur Rodriguez were members of the team "Valeon Dasson."
