Creative process
Does it happen that when you come up with a script, you say: “Nah, this is some kind of nonsense...”?
Sasha:
This happens more often than when everything is normal.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
Zhenya:
It seems to me that sometimes we just talk and write ourselves down.
Natasha:
I draw from films.
Who came up with the team name?
Zhenya:
My friend Azat Failyevich (Aza) from Ufa and I were once sitting in the kitchen and funny different names commands After 40 minutes of such alterations, it seemed to us that the funniest thing was “Fyodor Dvinyatin.” But then we forgot about this name, arrived in St. Petersburg (for the Baltika KVN league) and 15 seconds before the exit we remembered it. And we decided that let it be.
Are you different from the people you portray on stage, or are you always this funny?
Natasha:
I'm not at all like I am on stage.
Sasha:
We're not much different. My serve is easy for me and I like to play that way.
Marina:
We have a lot of life. But this is a more exaggerated image.
Are there jokes from other teams about yours, and if so, what is your favorite?
Zhenya:
The first time was a parody in the Premier League finals of the State University team.
What do you smoke before writing a script? (No offense, just really interesting)
Marina:
Tea with jasmine.
Who is the final authority on the team and decides whether it's funny or not?
Sasha:
The issue is on the agenda. There is no such person.
Marina:
We decide this in discussions.
Sasha:
Sometimes by majority vote.
Is KVN a force for you or just a step on the career ladder?
All:
Both.
Is it true that you didn’t write the music for the 2007 Premier League final?
Marina:
No, that's not true. The music was invented by us.
Zhenya:
The editors convinced us to do this particular homework. And it’s good that you convinced me. We ourselves didn’t know what to choose. And they suggested how this could be done. We are grateful to M. Gulikov, E. Donskikh and V. Ivanov.
Sergey:
Only the final number was taken from the Carte Blanche team, but partially and played a little differently.
Have you ever participated in a dark humor evening?
Marina:
As a team “Fyodor Dvinyatin” no.
Zhenya:
Sometimes it happens that we say something harsh in our speeches.
Are there any unexpected situations in your performances?
Marina:
They happen, but only at the dress rehearsal. Sasha choked on his cake.
Zhenya:
At the general meeting I run backstage and need to change into a suit. And Sat. performed before us. GUU and they had costumes from the same era. Their prop guys accidentally stole my costume. I went out in my shirt like that.
Why don’t you fully justify the audience’s trust in you? (About the finale). Explain something to the people.
Marina:
We were very sorry. But we were not mentally prepared for the final. We didn't have time to rest and prepare. We didn't have the strength to choose the right material.
Sasha:
Our bar was raised in the semi-finals, and we were unable to maintain it this time.
People .
How did you two meet?
Sasha:
It happened that way.
What is your job?
Marina:
I have a small company, I organize holidays and events. Zhenya works there as a DJ.
Natasha:
We earn extra money at corporate events.
Zhenya:
Besides the fact that I would like to get an education, I would also like to get a job.
Sasha:
Natalya Gudkova works as deputy head of the Stupinsky district department for family and youth affairs.
And if you get really insolent, it would be interesting to find out who Gudok (Sasha Gudkov) works for?
Sasha:
Oh, no one anymore. I worked at Mars as a consignment control coordinator. I traveled around the country, checked distributors, counted their warehouses and goods. And so I am a metallurgist, a metallurgist.
How do you relate to other teams in terms of humor? Is it funny?
Zhenya:
Everything is funny to me.
Sasha:
And I laugh at everything. I lived through the time when we fought for some kind of alternative.
You were in different cities and everywhere your humor was perceived differently. Where were you better received?
Marina:
We liked it everywhere. And best of all, in Khanty-Mansiysk, in the Northern League, we were received very well, they even came up to encourage us when we lost the final.
Sasha:
And two concerts in Novosibirsk are like a balm for the soul.
Which of your roles are you most interested in?
Marina:
I love to play parodies, but they don’t always let me do it.
Zhenya:
I liked playing sausage.
Why did only one of Natasha play in the Northern League?
Natasha:
It was expensive.
Marina:
The three of us played until the league semi-finals. It's very expensive to fly there.
Why did Olya disappear from the team?
Marina:
This is how the circumstances developed. But we continue to communicate.

If the Fedor Dvinyatin team played not in the Caveen Premier League, but in the Russian football league, what place would you take?
Sasha:
Well, they probably would have been eliminated in the quarter.
Zhenya:
And if you associate with any team...

Teams, friends, successors
And what now with the teams “Semeyka-2” (Stupino) and “Glamour” (Moscow) when the brightest people became members of the team “Fyodor Dvinyatin”?
Sasha:
And “Family 2” lives quietly in the city of Stupino, in the same apartment.
Zhenya:
But “Glamour” never left. We just connected.

Miscellaneous
How do your parents feel about “all this”?
Marina:
It's very funny to me. They go to all the games.
Natasha:
Until my third year, my parents pressured me to quit KVN, since it didn’t lead to anything. In the fourth or fifth year, when we were accepted into the Premier, they lagged behind me and apologized for not believing me.
Sasha:
My mother has been telling me for 8 years that this will lead to nothing. And the Major League doesn’t suit her either. She doesn't like what I do. She criticizes me all the time, but she loves the guys like they are my friends.
Zhenya:
At first they were skeptical: “Such a fool. How do you show people this???" And now they think that we were condemned in the final.
How did such a quick path make you feel: the first year and straight to the Premier League finals?
Marina:
We were happy.
Sasha:
Indeed, there was some surprise that everything went so easily. Before that, I actually thought that I would never go on stage again in my life.
What is your most memorable question from the warm-up?
Zhenya:
“Could there be anything worse than a sapper’s mistake?”
Natasha:
And our answer is “Yes, if all this is accompanied by terrible music.”
Have you ever wet a manta ray?
Sasha:
I - yes. I even rubbed it with a washcloth.
Zhenya:
No, I was afraid.
Marina:
I wet it, but without consequences.
Natasha:
I don't remember.
What are your musical preferences?
Zhenya:
House, electro-house, electro.
Sasha:
House.
Natasha:
“Rotten” music makes me happy.
Sasha:
“Rotten” is the one that we have on our beats (“More, more glamor!”, etc.)
Marina:
I can listen to house, and then Gubina.
Which team's work had the greatest influence on you?
Marina:
I've always really liked " Ural dumplings“, but I won’t say that they influenced me.
Zhenya:
The 1998 default had a big impact on me. And Gaidar's team.

All:
Probably not.
Tell us how this famous mix “Fedor Dvinya-tin-tin-tin-tin” was made?

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 that KVN members continue to read this book, most of which was written six or seven years ago, and even claim that reading this still implies not only historical interest, but also practical benefit.
Our days
Today's KVN is just 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. And yet. Where did it all start?
1956
Since 2003 - for “Family-2” (they were its only members) and “Natural Disaster” (team of the Stupino branch of MATI).
Moscow half
- Evgeny Shevchenko played for the MISIS teams CherMet (2003), Unity of Dissimilars (2003-2004) and Glamor (2005) and the second team of Sever from Severodvinsk.
- Natalia Medvedeva and Marina Bochkareva performed in 2005 in the Glamor team. Bochkareva is currently the director of the FD team.
- Andrey Stetsyuk previously played for Megapolis.
The music for the team’s performances is written and selected by Alexander Idiatullin, nicknamed “Donkey,” who is also a great authority for the team in their work. The authors of the jokes are the guys from the team themselves and a group of authors: Sergey Pichelatov, Svyatoslav Belov, Dmitry Emelyanenkov, Denis Rtishchev, Sergey Tukaev, Alexey Ignashkin.
Story
Appearance in big KVN
“Fedor Dvinyatin” made his debut at a serious level in 2006. First he took part in LAMP, then in the Northern League of KVN, where they reached the final (here “Surgutneftegaz” excelled).
Premier League 2007
Major League 2008
In 2008, “Dvinyatyny”, despite the fact that their performance was not included in the television version of the Sochi festival, were included in the Major League based on its results. In the 1/8 finals, the team took third place, losing to “Sportivnaya Station” and “Maximum”, so it advanced to the next round only thanks to a special decision of the jury.
A rather notable incident occurred in the quarterfinals. The team, in their traditional style, played a freestyle competition, where Marina Bochkareva performed the chorus of “Songs about Five Minutes” with the words “Barbecue, barbecue! Even with a little one you can make a barbecue!”, warm-up and STEM, and in the one-song competition a completely rare spectacle was presented for KVN. Alexander Gudkov, parodying Valery Leontyev with his song “Don’t Forget Me,” first went out onto the stage steps, then walked along the jury tables, collecting bouquets and communicating with decoy spectators (former players of the St. Petersburg national team Timofey Kuts and Vyacheslav Blagodarsky), and then he went into the hall altogether. The rest of the team remained on stage the entire time. Equally unconventional for KVN was the jury’s reaction to the team’s creativity: Yuliy Gusman, who had already, in the 1/8 finals, casually spoken about “Dvityatin”, as he himself called them by mistake, questioned the affiliation of this team with KVN, for that he was booed by the audience. In turn, the chairman of the jury, Konstantin Ernst, expressed his doubts about the future prospects of the team “Alexander Byalko” (this is how he played on the name of the team, using the name of another famous player “What? Where? When?”) if it does not rebuild. At this time, tears were visible in Natalya Gudkova’s eyes, Alexander Gudkov left the stage for a while. Later, presenter Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov allowed himself to comment on the past game for the first time in many years, largely agreeing with Gusman in his judgments about FD, but this was no longer shown by Channel One. In particular, he stated that last number nothing more than an ordinary parody that does not deserve such a violent reaction from the audience. During the announcement of the final results (“Fedor Dvinyatin” shared first place with “Astana.kz”, knocking out the current champion - “Ordinary People”) from the further drawing of the tournament), Gusman explained to the team with gestures: he put his palms to his ears and twirled his finger at his temple - what , probably meant a call to listen to the opinion of the jury and think about it. After the end of the game, the “Dvinyatins”, having bowed, are the first to leave the stage.
I apologize in advance: for the first time in all this time I will not speak in general words, beautiful and clever, but a little seriously about this game, because I noticed that there is some discrepancy in my assessments and the opinion of the audience. I want to explain myself to him.
Five brilliant teams, really interesting and really completely different from each other. The team, for example, “Maximum” was too pretentious, and the scenery of “Comédie Française” does not help in this case. Sorry. I think that the “Baikal” team, with a very smart homework and a wonderfully invented one, was not funny and the audience did not laugh, although they understood all their moves. I could discuss all this while talking about the “Fyodor Dvinyatin” team, which is a success in the hall, and today it really was extremely cheerful, funny... (ovation from the audience) But! But I would advise her to pay attention to that... to those two lines that they repeated, very funny, at the beginning, that even with a small IQ you can make a barbecue. So, with such an IQ, it will not be possible to make a barbecue called KVN in the future. This game is not just... this game is not just a fun... (disapproving roar in the hall) this... uh, this game is not just a fun circus! (disapproving roar in the audience) This is a game of smart, precise, funny, witty and, at the same time, people-citizens, not people-clowns. This is not a circus and this KVN will never be a circus! I, along with you, was carried away by their latest enthusiasm, but we have seen thousands of parodies of Valery Leontyev. It was a good parody, it was a funny parody, it was a fun parody, but it was only a parody. I inform you that I gave them the highest score of “four” for this parody, to reassure you, dear friends.
- ...As for the team “Alexander Byalko”. I partially share the opinions of Yuliy Solomonich: guys, everything was fresh and cool, next time you won’t make it to the same level, so think about it. In order to get further, you need to move further...
The team’s response was a performance at the Jurmala Festival, partly dedicated to such harsh reviews from the jury members. In particular, Alexander Gudkov performed a song that ended with the words: “And Guzman will give us a two, because the theme in the song is not disclosed.” Yuliy Solomonovich, who was present on the jury, smiled after these words.
In the semi-finals, the team took third place, losing to SOK and Maxim, and did not qualify for the finals. However, the FD participants still took the stage in the final game of that season during the musical homework SOK in the company of some other league teams - this was one of the twists in the performance prepared by the Samara team.
Major League 2009
Based on the results of the KiVin Festival in Sochi 2009, the team again received the right to participate in the Major League. The name was changed: the team was officially called "Fyodor Dvinyatin and SK ROSTRA". Instead of Natalia Medvedeva, who left for the TNT channel project - “Comedy Woman”, ex-member of the KVN team “Megapolis” Andrey Stetsyuk was invited to the team.
On March 11, 2009, the third game of the Major League season took place, where the Fedor Dvinyatin team took first place.
On April 15, the second quarterfinal was held, in which the team took fourth place (after the teams “Triod and Diod”, “PriMa”, “STEPiKO”) and reached the semi-finals.
On October 20, 2009, “Fedor Dvinyatin” took second place in the second semi-final of the Major League 2009, losing to the Kursk team by 0.3 points. Many fans noted the strong performance and the team's "return" to their old style, which some critics claimed they had "lost" after 1/4.
Despite the fact that the teams “PriMa” and “Triod and Diod” made it to the finals, all six teams from the semi-finals, including the team “Fedor Dvinyatin”, got a chance to compete for the third ticket to the finals, which was played in the KVN Special Project -2009 November 20, 2009. Despite the fact that, according to the rules announced by Alexander Maslyakov, the only winner of the Special Project, which was the team “Team of the Krasnodar Territory”, reached the final, Konstantin Ernst, on behalf of the jury, asked the presenter to allow “Fyodor Dvinyatin” to play in the final. The request was approved, and in the final “Fyodor Dvinyatin” won bronze medals.
In the same pre-New Year finale, the story of the relationship between “Fedor Dvinyatin” and Gusman continued. Yuliy Solomonovich with the words “I look at this boy, exhausted, tired, whether it’s a boy or a girl, he doesn’t know yet, but he played this role wonderfully, a difficult role, this whole season and last season,” gave Alexander Gudkov a string bag with a loaf of sausage, green peas, a jar of sprats, oranges and a pack of white powder (possibly sugar).
After KVN
After the 2010 Sochi festival in Sochi, “Fedor Dvinyatin” officially announced that they were not participating in the 2010 KVN season; Since then, the team has not participated in official KVN games.
Awards
According to the results of a popular vote organized by the KVN for ALL website, team member Natalia Medvedeva was recognized as the KVN player of 2008, Alexander Gudkov became second in the fight for the title of KVN player of the year, and the team itself was recognized as the discovery team of the year. According to the voting results for 2009, Alexander Gudkov became KVN player of the year, and Marina Bochkareva became KVN player of the year.
Performance style
Basically, the team's humor is based on absurd puns, songs, and energetic dances. Team leader Alexander Gudkov, whom his comrades call in one of his speeches “an effeminate macho,” stands in feminine poses, makes feminine movements and speaks with feminine intonations. All team members joke about each other’s abilities and appearance, and after each joke they start dancing to the songs of Yulia Akhonkova and other glamorous or funny compositions. Dance plays significant role in FD performances, dance styles The Spectacles And Black sea fantasy became their business card" In their performances, the team adheres to an emotional style of presentation (raised intonations, screams with strained voices).
As miniatures, among other things, the rivieras of the “Theater of Expressive Mastery and Overacting” and then the “Theater of Excellent Mimicry and Infernal Stupidity” were demonstrated, where the actors live up to the name of their establishments. For homework, “Fyodor Dvinyatin” turned to the classics of Russian literature: the audience was shown stylized versions of the play A. P. Chekhova“Three Sisters” based on an essay by 7th “A” class student Anya Afonasova, sketches on the theme of a newborn’s family A. S. Pushkina(the same performance was played a year earlier in the final of the Northern League) and the original version of the fairy tale “Cinderella”.
Other projects
From September 29 to October 3, 2008, team members posted 5 episodes of the Apartment News project on the YouTube video service under the motto “We are working worse and worse so that you can feel better and better” (). This project did not gain popularity.
Fans
In March 2008, an unofficial team fan site was created, which, according to amik.ru statistics, was the third most visited site (after amik.ru and kvnru.ru) dedicated to KVN. The team then decided to make the site official. Later, it was decided to transfer the site back to unofficial status.
The incident with “Guzman's speech” was widely discussed in the blogosphere after the television broadcast of the game on April 18 and took first place in the ranking of topics discussed in blogs according to Yandex calculations.

An excerpt characterizing Fedor Dvinyatin (KVN team)
Natasha knew that she had to leave, but she could not do it: something was squeezing her throat, and she was discourteously, directly, with open eyes looked at Prince Andrei."Now? This minute!... No, this can’t be!” she thought.
He looked at her again, and this look convinced her that she was not mistaken. “Yes, now, this very minute, her fate was being decided.”
“Come, Natasha, I’ll call you,” the countess said in a whisper.
Natasha looked at Prince Andrei and her mother with frightened, pleading eyes, and left.
“I came, Countess, to ask for your daughter’s hand in marriage,” said Prince Andrei. The countess's face flushed, but she said nothing.
“Your proposal...” the countess began sedately. “He was silent, looking into her eyes. – Your offer... (she was embarrassed) we are pleased, and... I accept your offer, I’m glad. And my husband... I hope... but it will depend on her...
“I’ll tell her when I have your consent... do you give it to me?” - said Prince Andrei.
“Yes,” said the countess and extended her hand to him and, with a mixed feeling of aloofness and tenderness, pressed her lips to his forehead as he leaned over her hand. She wanted to love him like a son; but she felt that he was a stranger and a terrible person for her. “I’m sure my husband will agree,” said the countess, “but your father...
- My father, to whom I communicated my plans, made it an indispensable condition for consent that the wedding should not be before a year. And this is what I wanted to tell you,” said Prince Andrei.
– It’s true that Natasha is still young, but for so long.
“It couldn’t be otherwise,” said Prince Andrei with a sigh.
“I will send it to you,” said the countess and left the room.
“Lord, have mercy on us,” she repeated, looking for her daughter. Sonya said that Natasha is in the bedroom. Natasha sat on her bed, pale, with dry eyes, looking at the icons and, quickly crossing herself, whispering something. Seeing her mother, she jumped up and rushed to her.
- What? Mom?... What?
- Go, go to him. “He asks for your hand,” the countess said coldly, as it seemed to Natasha... “Come... come,” the mother said with sadness and reproach after her running daughter, and sighed heavily.
Natasha did not remember how she entered the living room. Entering the door and seeing him, she stopped. “Has this stranger really become everything to me now?” she asked herself and instantly answered: “Yes, that’s it: he alone is now dearer to me than everything in the world.” Prince Andrei approached her, lowering his eyes.
“I loved you from the moment I saw you.” Can I hope?
He looked at her, and the serious passion in her expression struck him. Her face said: “Why ask? Why doubt something you can’t help but know? Why talk when you can’t express in words what you feel.”
She approached him and stopped. He took her hand and kissed it.
- Do you love me?
“Yes, yes,” Natasha said as if with annoyance, sighed loudly, and another time, more and more often, and began to sob.
- About what? What's wrong with you?
“Oh, I’m so happy,” she answered, smiled through her tears, leaned closer to him, thought for a second, as if asking herself if this was possible, and kissed him.
Prince Andrei held her hands, looked into her eyes, and did not find in his soul the same love for her. Something suddenly turned in his soul: there was no former poetic and mysterious charm of desire, but there was pity for her feminine and childish weakness, there was fear of her devotion and gullibility, a heavy and at the same time joyful consciousness of the duty that forever connected him with her. The real feeling, although it was not as light and poetic as the previous one, was more serious and stronger.
– Did maman tell you that this cannot be earlier than a year? - said Prince Andrei, continuing to look into her eyes. “Is it really me, that girl child (everyone said that about me) Natasha thought, is it really from this moment that I am the wife, equal to this stranger, dear, smart person, respected even by my father. Is this really true? Is it really true that now it’s no longer possible to joke with life, now I’m big, now I’m responsible for my every deed and word? Yes, what did he ask me?
“No,” she answered, but she did not understand what he was asking.
“Forgive me,” said Prince Andrei, “but you are so young, and I have already experienced so much of life.” I'm scared for you. You don't know yourself.
Natasha listened with concentrated attention, trying to understand the meaning of his words and did not understand.
“No matter how difficult this year will be for me, delaying my happiness,” continued Prince Andrei, “in this period you will believe in yourself.” I ask you to make my happiness in a year; but you are free: our engagement will remain a secret, and if you were convinced that you do not love me, or would love me ... - said Prince Andrei with an unnatural smile.
- Why are you saying this? – Natasha interrupted him. “You know that from the very day you first arrived in Otradnoye, I fell in love with you,” she said, firmly convinced that she was telling the truth.
- In a year you will recognize yourself...
- The whole year! – Natasha suddenly said, now only realizing that the wedding had been postponed for a year. - Why a year? Why a year?...” Prince Andrei began to explain to her the reasons for this delay. Natasha didn't listen to him.
– Can’t it be otherwise? – she asked. Prince Andrei did not answer, but his face expressed the impossibility of changing this decision.
- It's horrible! No, this is terrible, terrible! – Natasha suddenly spoke and began to sob again. “I’ll die waiting a year: this is impossible, this is terrible.” “She looked into the face of her fiancé and saw on him an expression of compassion and bewilderment.
“No, no, I’ll do everything,” she said, suddenly stopping her tears, “I’m so happy!” – Father and mother entered the room and blessed the bride and groom.
From that day on, Prince Andrei began to go to the Rostovs as a groom.
There was no engagement and Bolkonsky’s engagement to Natasha was not announced to anyone; Prince Andrei insisted on this. He said that since he was the cause of the delay, he must bear the entire burden of it. He said that he was forever bound by his word, but that he did not want to bind Natasha and gave her complete freedom. If after six months she feels that she does not love him, she will be within her right if she refuses him. It goes without saying that neither the parents nor Natasha wanted to hear about it; but Prince Andrei insisted on his own. Prince Andrei visited the Rostovs every day, but did not treat Natasha like a groom: he told her you and kissed only her hand. After the day of the proposal, a completely different, close, simple relationship was established between Prince Andrei and Natasha. It was as if they didn't know each other until now. Both he and she loved to remember how they looked at each other when they were still nothing; now both of them felt like completely different creatures: then feigned, now simple and sincere. At first, the family felt awkward in dealing with Prince Andrei; he seemed like a man from an alien world, and Natasha spent a long time accustoming her family to Prince Andrei and proudly assured everyone that he only seemed so special, and that he was the same as everyone else, and that she was not afraid of him and that no one should be afraid his. After several days, the family got used to him and, without hesitation, continued with him the same way of life in which he took part. He knew how to talk about the household with the Count, and about outfits with the Countess and Natasha, and about albums and canvas with Sonya. Sometimes the Rostov family, among themselves and under Prince Andrei, were surprised at how all this happened and how obvious the omens of this were: the arrival of Prince Andrei in Otradnoye, and their arrival in St. Petersburg, and the similarity between Natasha and Prince Andrei, which the nanny noticed on their first visit Prince Andrei, and the clash in 1805 between Andrei and Nikolai, and many other omens of what happened were noticed by those at home.
The house was filled with that poetic boredom and silence that always accompanies the presence of the bride and groom. Often sitting together, everyone was silent. Sometimes they got up and left, and the bride and groom, remaining alone, were still silent. Rarely did they talk about their future lives. Prince Andrei was scared and ashamed to talk about it. Natasha shared this feeling, like all his feelings, which she constantly guessed. Once Natasha began asking about his son. Prince Andrei blushed, which often happened to him now and which Natasha especially loved, and said that his son would not live with them.
- Why? – Natasha said in fear.
- I can’t take him away from my grandfather and then...
- How I would love him! - Natasha said, immediately guessing his thought; but I know you want there to be no excuses to blame you and me.
The old count sometimes approached Prince Andrei, kissed him, and asked him for advice on the upbringing of Petya or the service of Nicholas. The old countess sighed as she looked at them. Sonya was afraid at every moment of being superfluous and tried to find excuses to leave them alone when they didn’t need it. When Prince Andrei spoke (he spoke very well), Natasha listened to him with pride; when she spoke, she noticed with fear and joy that he was looking at her carefully and searchingly. She asked herself in bewilderment: “What is he looking for in me? He's trying to achieve something with his gaze! What if I don’t have what he’s looking for with that look?” Sometimes she entered into her characteristic insanely cheerful mood, and then she especially loved to listen and watch how Prince Andrei laughed. He rarely laughed, but when he laughed, he gave himself entirely to his laughter, and every time after this laugh she felt closer to him. Natasha would have been completely happy if the thought of the impending and approaching separation did not frighten her, since he too turned pale and cold at the mere thought of it.
On the eve of his departure from St. Petersburg, Prince Andrei brought with him Pierre, who had never been to the Rostovs since the ball. Pierre seemed confused and embarrassed. He was talking to his mother. Natasha sat down with Sonya at the chess table, thereby inviting Prince Andrey to her. He approached them.
– You’ve known Bezukhoy for a long time, haven’t you? – he asked. - Do you love him?
- Yes, he is nice, but very funny.
And she, as always speaking about Pierre, began to tell jokes about his absent-mindedness, jokes that were even made up about him.
“You know, I trusted him with our secret,” said Prince Andrei. – I have known him since childhood. This is a heart of gold. “I beg you, Natalie,” he said suddenly seriously; – I’ll leave, God knows what might happen. You might spill... Well, I know I shouldn't talk about it. One thing - no matter what happens to you when I’m gone...
- What will happen?...
“Whatever the grief,” continued Prince Andrei, “I ask you, m lle Sophie, no matter what happens, turn to him alone for advice and help.” This is the most absent-minded and funny man, but the most golden heart.
Neither father and mother, nor Sonya, nor Prince Andrei himself could foresee how parting with her fiancé would affect Natasha. Red and excited, with dry eyes, she walked around the house that day, doing the most insignificant things, as if not understanding what awaited her. She did not cry even at that moment as he, saying goodbye, last time kissed her hand. - Don't leave! - she just said to him in a voice that made him think about whether he really needed to stay and which he remembered for a long time after that. When he left, she didn't cry either; but for several days she sat in her room without crying, was not interested in anything and only sometimes said: “Oh, why did he leave!”
But two weeks after his departure, just as unexpectedly for those around her, she woke up from her moral illness, became the same as before, but only with a changed moral physiognomy, just as children with a different face get out of bed after a long illness.
The health and character of Prince Nikolai Andreich Bolkonsky, in this last year after my son left, we became very weak. He became even more irritable than before, and all the outbursts of his causeless anger mostly fell on Princess Marya. It was as if he was diligently looking for all her sore spots in order to morally torture her as cruelly as possible. Princess Marya had two passions and therefore two joys: her nephew Nikolushka and religion, and both were favorite topics for the prince’s attacks and ridicule. Whatever they talked about, he turned the conversation to the superstitions of old girls or the pampering and spoiling of children. - “You want to make him (Nikolenka) an old girl like yourself; in vain: Prince Andrey needs a son, not a girl,” he said. Or, turning to Mademoiselle Bourime, he asked her in front of Princess Marya how she liked our priests and images, and joked...
He constantly and painfully insulted Princess Marya, but the daughter did not even make an effort to forgive him. How could he be guilty before her, and how could her father, who, she still knew, loved her, be unjust? And what is justice? The princess never thought about this proud word: “justice.” All the complex laws of humanity were concentrated for her in one simple and clear law - the law of love and self-sacrifice, taught to us by the One who lovingly suffered for humanity, when he himself is God. What did she care about the justice or injustice of other people? She had to suffer and love herself, and that’s what she did.
In winter, Prince Andrei came to Bald Mountains, he was cheerful, meek and gentle, as Princess Marya had not seen him for a long time. She had a presentiment that something had happened to him, but he did not say anything to Princess Marya about his love. Before leaving, Prince Andrei talked for a long time about something with his father, and Princess Marya noticed that before leaving, both were dissatisfied with each other.
Soon after the departure of Prince Andrei, Princess Marya wrote from Bald Mountains to St. Petersburg to her friend Julie Karagina, whom Princess Marya dreamed of, as girls always dream, of marrying her brother, and who at that time was in mourning on the occasion of the death of her brother, killed in Turkey.
“Sorrow, apparently, is our common destiny, dear and gentle friend Julieie.”
“Your loss is so terrible that I cannot otherwise explain it to myself, as a special mercy of God, who wants to experience - by loving you - you and your excellent mother. Ah, my friend, religion, and only religion, can, let alone console us, but save us from despair; one religion can explain to us what a person cannot understand without its help: why, why beings who are kind, sublime, who know how to find happiness in life, who not only do not harm anyone, but are necessary for the happiness of others - are called to God, but remain to live evil, useless, harmful, or those who are a burden to themselves and others. The first death that I saw and which I will never forget - the death of my dear daughter-in-law, made such an impression on me. Just as you ask fate why your beautiful brother had to die, in the same way I asked why this angel Liza had to die, who not only did not do any harm to a person, but never had anything but good thoughts in her soul . And well, my friend, five years have passed since then, and I, with my insignificant mind, am already beginning to clearly understand why she needed to die, and how this death was only an expression of the infinite goodness of the Creator, all of whose actions , although we mostly do not understand them, they are only manifestations of His infinite love for His creation. Perhaps, I often think, she was too angelically innocent to have the strength to endure all the responsibilities of a mother. She was impeccable, like a young wife; perhaps she could not be such a mother. Now, not only did she leave us, and especially Prince Andrei, the purest regret and memory, she will probably get that place there that I do not dare hope for for myself. But, not to mention her alone, this early and terrible death had the most beneficial influence, despite all the sadness, for me and for my brother. Then, in a moment of loss, these thoughts could not come to me; Then I would have driven them away with horror, but now it is so clear and undeniable. I am writing all this to you, my friend, only to convince you of the gospel truth, which has become a life rule for me: not a single hair of my head will fall without His will. And His will is guided only by boundless love for us, and therefore everything that happens to us is all for our good. Are you asking if we will spend next winter in Moscow? Despite all my desire to see you, I don’t think and don’t want it. And you will be surprised that Buonaparte is the reason for this. And here's why: my father's health is noticeably weakening: he cannot tolerate contradictions and becomes irritable. This irritability, as you know, is directed primarily at political matters. He cannot bear the thought that Buonaparte is dealing as equals with all the sovereigns of Europe and especially with our grandson Great Catherine! As you know, I am completely indifferent to political affairs, but from the words of my father and his conversations with Mikhail Ivanovich, I know everything that is happening in the world, and especially all the honors given to Buonaparte, who, it seems, is still only in Lysykh Mountains throughout the globe are not recognized as a great man, much less French Emperor. And my father can't stand it. It seems to me that my father, mainly due to his view of political affairs and foreseeing the clashes that he will have, due to his manner of expressing his opinions without embarrassment with anyone, is reluctant to talk about a trip to Moscow. Whatever he gains from treatment, he will lose due to the disputes about Buonaparte, which are inevitable. In any case, this will be decided very soon. Family life ours continues as before, with the exception of the presence of brother Andrei. He, as I already wrote to you, has changed a lot lately. After his grief, only this year has he completely morally come to life. He became the same as I knew him as a child: kind, gentle, with that golden heart that I know no equal to. He realized, it seems to me, that life is not over for him. But along with this moral change, he was physically very weak. He became thinner than before, more nervous. I am afraid for him and am glad that he took this trip abroad, which doctors have long prescribed for him. I hope this fixes it. You write to me that in St. Petersburg they talk about him as one of the most active, educated and intelligent young people. Sorry for the pride of kinship - I never doubted it. It is impossible to count the good that he did here to everyone, from his peasants to the nobles. Arriving in St. Petersburg, he took only what he should have. I’m surprised how rumors from St. Petersburg reach Moscow in general, and especially such incorrect ones as the one you are writing to me about - the rumor about the imaginary marriage of my brother to little Rostova. I don’t think Andrei will ever marry anyone, and especially not her. And here’s why: firstly, I know that although he rarely talks about his late wife, the sadness of this loss is too deeply rooted in his heart for him to ever decide to give her a successor and stepmother to our little angel. Secondly, because, as far as I know, this girl is not the type of woman that Prince Andrei might like. I don’t think that Prince Andrey would choose her as his wife, and I’ll say frankly: I don’t want this. But I started chatting, I’m finishing my second piece of paper. Farewell, my dear friend; May God keep you under His holy and mighty protection. My dear friend, Mademoiselle Bourienne, kisses you.
Natasha Medvedeva- leader of the movement laughter through latex
Natalya Medvedeva is the frontwoman of the team, known for her acting talent and self-sacrifice, she is ready to literally do anything to win, and these are not empty words.
Natasha Medvedeva likes to wait for "zayu", scare Sasha Gudkov, in her free time from her main job she does an internship with an unknown mobile operator, likes to hand-feed the seal Fedya, sometimes works as a nanny for the Pushkins, cannot sing, sometimes sings serenades in the genre of " love lyrics"cats.
Zhenya Shevchenko- minimum Zhenya, maximum movements.
Shevchenko Egeniy - the frontman of the team, known as the Serpent Tempter of the team, loves to persuade participants to comb the manta ray, often loses his pills, forgetting that he himself ate them, often drowns, imagines himself in the role of a midget, loves to read Pushkin, often imagines himself in the role Dantes, prefers films from the film company Weaving Loom 20th Century.
He likes to shake his fist at the audience, rarely reads manuals and goes to seminars, and does not trust the authoritative opinion of Sasha Gudkov that God deprived him of talent. Considered the dark mare of the team. He is partial to Natalya Medvedeva, loves to win her “zayu” and shout “victory!”
Gudkov Alexander,- frontman of the team, lover of making parodies of Dima Bilan, also known as an effeminate macho, the lion's share of humor, etc., etc.
Expressive, inimitable, interesting, “young and sexy” (Marina Bochkareva), magnificent in all its guises.
He is a student at the Bambi Institute of Reindeer Husbandry, lives in Stupino, loves strawberries and can easily trample the hall with his boot.
Marina Bochkareva- one word, favorite!
Marina Bochkareva is the frontwoman, and at the same time the most serious person in the team, despite the fact that she sings a song about eggplants and makes parodies of Vadim Kazachenko’s mother’s older sister. He knows for sure that talented people don’t just lie around on the road - something obviously happened, and he believes that some people like the team’s performances, but some don’t, some don’t like them, but some do.
Just like Sasha Gudkov, he suffers from a split personality, sometimes imagining himself as the lead singer of the Rondo group, but he does not know how to cook or sing. Tries to flirt with Sergei Gannibalovich, according to the general opinion of the team members, she is the most protected and well-fed.
Natasha Gudkova- Head of the Stupino Municipal District
Natasha is the frontwoman of the team, is the beautiful half of the Stupin part of the team, and, concurrently, the sister of Sasha Gudkov. However, sometimes, right during a performance, she burns out, and, oddly enough, she still bears her maiden name. Over the years of working in the team, she learned not to succumb to the provocations of the Serpent Tempter Zhenya to comb the manta ray, and also managed to earn the honorary title of mother of Stupino glamor under the name of Tatyana Mikhallna.
Andrey Palych Stetsyuk- the only carpenter in the team.

Many KVN fans call the “Fedor Dvinyatin” team, which represented Moscow in general and the Stupino district in particular, scandalous.
There are many reasons for this, but one of the most important is their humor - provocative, unusual and even strange.
The guys had a lot of puns, numbers based on plasticity and wordplay. Very often they were criticized by the old-timers of the Merry and Resourceful Club, who considered their humor primitive and absurd.
Old-timer Yuli Gusman spoke especially harshly about “Fedor Dvinyatin”. Once, even in a humorous manner, he practically insulted the captain, calling him “either a boy or a girl.” But how did the guys come to this? What is the history of the creation of the team and what exactly did the KVN jury dislike or, on the contrary, like too much about them?
"Fedor Dvinyatin" first appeared on big stage Club in 2007 as one of the participants in the Gala concert of the famous Sochi Festival.
The guys didn’t choose the name for long, they just decided to name themselves in honor of one of the experts of another famous television club ChKG -.
Few people know that the guys first took part in KVN earlier - in 2006. First they performed in the Central League of Moscow and Moscow Region, a little later in the Northern KVN League. It should be noted that here they reached the final without any problems and lost only to the Surgutneftegaz team.
Thanks to the Sochi Festival, the KVN team “Fedor Dvinyatin” were able to get into the Premier League, but as they themselves believe, they did not achieve success in the first season. Although this statement is controversial - in 2007, although the guys were eliminated in ¼, they were then selected by the jury to participate in the final.
True, the last 4th place awaited them here, but not all teams manage to achieve this! And “Fedor Dvinyatin” still had a lot of time ahead!
For the next season 2008 the team gets promoted to the Major League. True, in the very first game of the 1/8 finals the guys took third place, but even here the jury came to their aid, who exercised their right and promoted them further.
But the behavior of the KVN team “Fedor Dvinyatin” at the next game, their frivolous attitude towards the rules of the competitions led to a scandal - Yuliy Gusman spoke out that the team was playing incorrectly and had absolutely no respect for their opponents, the jury, or the audience.
The audience was quite critical of this and even allowed themselves to boo the eminent judge!
Both Konstantin Ernst spoke negatively about the team (he even called them “”, deliberately using the name of another expert from the well-known club “What? Where? When?”), and KVN President Alexander Maslyakov. In the next game “Fedor Dvinyatin” took last place and did not make it to the finals.
True, thanks to the Music Festival “KiViN-2009” the team again gets the opportunity to play in the Major League. Only now it is called “Fedor Dvinyatin and SK ROSTRA” and performs with a slightly changed lineup (Natalia Medvedeva left the team, and Andrei Stetsyuk was added).
Don't miss interesting things:
Based on the results of the games, the guys did not reach the finals, but... the jury again saved them. It’s hard to say what explains this paradox, but you can’t erase the words from the song and the events developed exactly like this. In the final game of the year, the KVN team “Fedor Dvinyatin” earns third place!
In 2010, the team again participated in music festival , but no longer goes to the Major League. From that moment on, “Fedor Dvinyatin” officially ceased to exist. True, fans of the team can still see its members on television.
Frontman, captain and the most flexible participant Alexander Gudkov became a regular actor in such shows as “Yesterday LIVE”, “Evening Urgant” on Channel One, as well as one of the hosts of “Nezlobin and Gudkov” on MTV.
In addition, Sasha can be seen quite often in the TNT project “”.
The team that had left a little earlier and collapsed also flashed on the screen. She became a permanent resident of Comedy Woman, and another representative of the fair half of the team, Marina Bochkareva, was seen in one of the episodes of the series How I Met Your Mother.
As it has already become clear from the history of the team, the guys in KVN have not conquered any special peaks, except for third place in the Major League in 2009, but at the same time they still have titles!
So in 2008 and 2009, Natalya Medvedeva was twice recognized as the best KVN performer according to TV viewers.
Alexander Gudkov in 2008 took second place in the fight for a similar title, and in 2009 he received first place!
At the same time, the team “Fedor Dvinyatin” itself was recognized as the discovery of the year in 2008, which is very flattering.
It is impossible not to tell about others interesting facts that are associated with this command:
- Alexander Gudkov and Natalya Gudkova are not spouses, not namesakes, but brother and sister;
- Evgeny Shevchenko and Marina Bochkareva are husband and wife; they legalized their relationship in 2012.
