Biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr.
According to the prevailing family tradition, all men from the Maslyakov family bore the same name - Vasily. That was the name of the father of the future TV star, like all the Maslyakov fathers many generations before. However, the mother, Zi-na-i-da Alek-se-ev-na Mas-la-ko-va, unexpectedly named the boy Alexander, born on November 24, 1941.

Our hero did not connect his fate with the profession of an engineer. Alexander was attracted by a completely different life - bright, loud, filled with creativity. And just two years later, Maslyakov Sr. became a graduate of the Higher Courses for Television Workers. Thus began the career of, without a doubt, a great showman.
"Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful"
Alexander made his debut on television while still a student at the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers, where, along with most of his peers, he actively supported his team of the “Merry and Resourceful Club”.
“The Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful,” or KVN for short, appeared in 1961. The new initiative was quickly taken up by actively developing youth striving for self-expression. The popularity of KVN grew by leaps and bounds, and these steps spread almost throughout the vast country.
This youth program intervened in the biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr. in 1964, when, by the will of fate, he became one of its presenters.
As Alexander Vasilyevich himself claims, this event happened by pure chance. One fine day, his classmate invited Maslyakov to become a member of the KVN team from the institute. Alexander agreed, but did not have time to play in KVN, because at the same time the editors of central television were looking for a suitable candidate for the role of host of this program. Maslyakov was active, cheerful and charismatic from birth. And his smile is still his today business card. So the editors' choice settled on Alexander.
Who would have thought that this place would be fixed in the biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr. for more than half a century.
At that wonderful time, Alexander hosted KVN in tandem with experienced TV presenter Svetlana Zhiltsova, from whom he learned a lot of knowledge and secrets of stagecraft.
Until 1970, the program was broadcast on live. As usual, times were difficult in the country. The jokes heard in the program increasingly ran counter to party policy, as a result of which KVN began to be shown in recordings after strict censorship, including from the Committee State Security.

However, due to life and business circumstances, Svetlana refused this offer. So Alexander Vasilyevich began to host this program alone.

Happiness is living 77 years the way I lived them. I cannot give universal recommendations. But old man Munchausen was partly right when he said: “Smile more often, gentlemen!..”
This amazing person. And we have the only one - our famous, beloved by several generations and the most smiling TV presenter - Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov Sr.
The beginning of life and meeting with KVN
Maslyakov Alexander Vasilyevich was born on November 24, 1941 in Sverdlovsk (Ekaterinburg) in the family of a military pilot. His father Vasily Vasilyevich went through the entire war, and his mother Zinaida Alekseevna was a housewife and raised her son. Having spent a fair amount of time in garrisons, the parents settled in Moscow, where in 1960 the guy entered MITI, planning to become a railway engineer. 
He was lucky to be a student at a time Khrushchev's thaw. At that time, KVN, the only youth entertainment program, was incredibly popular. By the way, the well-known abbreviation KVN was born in the communal apartment of one of the founders of the idea, Mikhail Muratov. His neighbor was Vladimir Vysotsky, who was interested in the “kitchen battles” of creative guys. It was he who suggested calling the program the Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful.
Maslyakov was a fanatical fan of his native MITI team. In 1964, KVN host Albert Axelrod was forced to leave, but recommended that the director appoint the smiling and charming Sasha Maslyakov in his place. Together with Svetlana Zhiltsova, they hosted the program until its closure in 1971. Interesting name then Alexander had the position: he was called “commentator youth program" Maslyakov received his specialized education at the Higher Courses for Television Workers a little later, in 1968.
After the closure of KVN, Maslyakov disappeared from the screens. This gave rise to constant rumors that he was given a sentence either for a criminal or for a political crime. In fact, Alexander Vasilyevich was then looking for something to do after 10 years of active creativity.
In KVN, he was no longer only the presenter, but also the editor of the issues and the “punching force”, because the obstacles of the artistic councils had to be overcome sometimes with superhuman efforts.
“I was constantly a “tester””
It must be said that organization and management entertainment programs in the USSR it was an unknown matter. None of those true pioneers of the genre had any experience or mentors. And Maslyakov was very often a pioneer or, as he himself liked to say, a “tester” of television projects - now he would simply be called a “showman.”Alexander Maslyakov in the program “Come on, girls!”
Appeared on television in the early 70s new program youth edition of Ostankino entitled “Come on, girls!” In parallel with it, the “Virage” project was organized in the format of a competition or relay race between men’s teams. The program “Hello, we are looking for talents” was the prototype of the modern “Star Factory”. Entertainment programs that Soviet television did not indulge the audience with were overwhelmingly popular due to their originality. The whole country knew Maslyakov by sight, so every new program with his participation was simply “doomed” to success. For example, the organizer of “What? Where? When?" Vladimir Voroshilov invited Maslyakova to conduct the first broadcast. He was also the host of the first episode of the scandalous “Vzglyad”. It was only later that new generations came - from Vlad Listyev to Sergei Bodrov. Later, in 1989, together with Leonid Yakubovich, Alexander Maslyakov even hosted the first Miss USSR beauty contest.
Revival of KVN
In 1985, perestroika began in the USSR, which significantly weakened censorship and removed many ideological prohibitions. Already a seasoned television worker, Maslyakov initiated the revival of his favorite humorous program in the same format - competition student teams. Since 1986, a new report began in the life of the longest-running television project, as well as in the biography of its presenter and permanent artistic director. Alexander Vasilyevich prefers this particular formulation, avoiding the word “producer,” although, in fact, he is also involved in producing. 
Broadcasting is visible part process, the rest of Maslyakov’s work remains behind the scenes. In the late 80s, Alexander created the creative association “Amik”, which began to engage not only in holding KVN games, but also in the festival movement. It must be said that there is not a single television project in the post-Soviet space that would give a “start in life” to so many famous personalities and popular shows.

Members of the KVN jury in different time there were Leonid Parfenov, Konstantin Ernst, Mikhail Efremov, Igor Vernik, Sergey Garmash, Gennady Khazanov and about a hundred other famous names. In 2016, the President of Russia

Childhood
Maslyakov’s childhood was during the difficult war years. His father, an air force officer, went to the front from the very first days of the war. All worries about the baby fell on the shoulders of the mother, who had a very difficult time. Fortunately, my father survived the fighting and returned home. A few years later, he was appointed to the country’s General Staff and moved his family to Moscow.
The mother devoted her whole life to her husband and son, tried to give the child a good education and comprehensive development. In high school, Alexander became interested in journalism, tried to write himself, and dreamed of working as a reporter. But at the insistence of his father, he chose a serious profession and entered the Transport Institute.
He graduated from the institute, but worked in his specialty for only a short time - a little more than a year. Already in his senior year, he simultaneously studied at the school of State Television workers and at the same time became interested in playing KVN. This determined future fate future showman.
The KVN team game first appeared on Soviet television in 1961. According to the director's plan, it was supposed to be an analogue of the Czech comedy program. However, after the third episode it was closed, since the jokes of the participants touched on Soviet ideology.
But gradually it changed a little, and in this format three years later it returned to the screens and won the hearts of millions of television viewers.
Maslyakov began playing in his fourth year, immediately joining the main team of MIIT, which quickly became popular and often took first place in KVN tournaments. Once, as the winning team, they were asked to film a short program, and the captain gave the role of its host to Maslyakov. This work captured him so much that he decided to devote his life to television and KVN.
After completing the courses, Maslyakov left his job in his specialty and received a position in the Main Editorial Board of youth programs. At first he worked as a senior editor, then as a special correspondent, and later moved to the Experiment television studio, where he hosted whole line programs.
Maslyakov first appeared on the KVN stage as a presenter in 1964. Then his partner in the program was the already well-known television announcer Svetlana Zhiltsova. But she soon left the program, and since then Maslyakov has been the only and permanent host of the popularly beloved television program.
At first, KVN was filmed only on live broadcasts. But after several unsuccessful jokes from the participants, the program fell under close attention State Security Service employees. Soon, live broadcasts were banned, and only the version of the program that was passed by strict Soviet censorship began to appear on screens. Naturally, greatly abbreviated. In 1971 the program was banned altogether.
AMiK
The program was revived during perestroika, when official censorship disappeared, and participants could say whatever they wanted from the stage. Veteran KVN player Maslyakov again became the guest host of the updated version of the program. After the first release of the program, everyone started talking about it again.
With my wife
Literally a year later, the KVN movement covered the entire country. What is noteworthy is that even after the collapse of the USSR, in an era of total crisis and shortage, the program continued to be published and only gained more popularity. She even saved some from depression - a nation that knows how to laugh at itself will never die.
Delighted by such interest in the program, Maslyakov decided to devote himself entirely to his favorite activity. He created the author's creative center "AMiK", which developed scripts and created new KVN programs. Now the participants not only performed on television, but also gave numerous concerts throughout the country, organized by Maslyakov’s company.
With son
Already in 1992, the program went beyond the CIS and acquired international format. The first international game took place between the CIS and Israel teams. Later, teams from other countries joined the movement: the USA, Germany, the former socialist camp. A little later they started to pass annual festivals“Voting KIVIN”, which gathered thousands of armies of KVN fans.
With pleasure
The entire Maslyakov family is involved in the development of KVN. His wife, Maslyakov’s former assistant in the program, is his right hand in company. The son recently replaced his father in office General Director, daughter-in-law is the director of the KVN House. Maslyakov’s grandson is also growing up, also a future KVN player.
There is probably not a person in Russia who does not know who Alexander Maslyakov is. This man became the creator, inspirer and permanent host of the TV game “Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful,” which is now played throughout the country, and which has become firmly established in the lives of schools and universities.
Alexander Vasilyevich has his own television creative association “AMIK”, which stands for “Alexander Maslyakov and Company” and has been broadcasting various programs on television for more than 50 years, and last years exclusively “KVN” on Channel One. Following in the leader’s footsteps were his only son and little granddaughter, who also lead KVN.
Height, weight, age. How old is Alexander Maslyakov

However, modern fans of the presenter do not even know that the man did not always host KVN; his career included not only humor, but also quite serious programs. For example, Alexander Maslyakov is also the first presenter of everyone’s favorite “smart” program “What? Where? When?".

Biography of Alexander Maslyakov
The biography of Alexander Maslyakov began in 1941 in Sverdlovsk. His childhood was spent in the military and post-war years. After school, the guy goes to Moscow and there he enters the Institute of Transport Engineers. Having not yet graduated from the institute, Maslyakov begins to work in his future specialty, and even then he understands that he feels out of place here. Talkative and cheerful Alexander quickly realizes that in Moscow there are a million opportunities to change his life for the better and at the same time begins to take courses for TV presenters. After receiving his diploma, Maslyakov is helped by his friend and classmate, who tells Alexander that they are recruiting for a television studio humorous program. Already at that time, Maslyakov was playing in student KVN, so he presented the approximate format of the program. Despite the fact that the guy did not believe in his success on TV, he still passed the casting and began hosting a program for young people.
In 1969, Alexander got a job at the main editorial office of youth programs. There he works as an editor and then as a correspondent. In 1975 he was offered new role- host of the program “What? Where? When?". Maslyakov could still wage an intellectual battle today if the format of the program had not changed, and the directors had not come up with a voice-over for the presenter, then Maslyakov left. He hosted a variety of programs, including “A-nuka, girls”, “A-nuka, guys”, “Jolly guys” and “We are looking for talents”.
Maslyakov has always been very sharp in terms of his career, and in 1990 he created his own project: “AMIK”, which began to produce his own, Maslyakovsky’s “KVN”.
As they say gossips, the presenter’s biography contains not only bright sides, but also black spots. On some resources you can find information that the man had a criminal record. According to journalists at that time, in 1974, many people, including Alexander Maslyakov himself, were involved in currency fraud. “Biography: I was in prison,” this is what resources on the Internet say, and they even give the exact address of the place of imprisonment: the Rybinsk colony. Wikipedia does not confirm this data, and journalists say that Maslyakov served only a few months.
Personal life of Alexander Maslyakov
The personal life of Alexander Maslyakov has never been a subject of discussion, not in Soviet time, not in modern Russia. The man was always faithful to his only and beloved wife, with whom he lived almost his entire life. Of course, other women often look at a talented and successful man, and even more so in his youth. “All ages are submissive to love” says the truth, so many women might want to get the famous presenter and creator of the KVN program as their husband, but Maslyakov is not bowed down in his love.

His father, Vasily Vasilyevich, a military pilot, navigator, a man who went through the war.
When World War II began, his wife was pregnant, they were expecting a child, and the situation in the world could have destroyed everything. Maslyakov’s mother, Zinaida Alekseevna, was supposed to be evacuated to Chelyabinsk. The woman was already almost pregnant, and was very afraid that she or the child might not survive such a difficult journey. However, Zinaida gave birth, one might say, right in the field. After the war, Alexander's father served at the Air Force headquarters, and his mother was a housewife.
Children of Alexander Maslyakov
The man built a career all his life, worked, and did not even think about marriage. By Soviet standards, Maslyakov married quite late, at the age of 30, and the children of Alexander Maslyakov still did not appear. He and his wife tried to have a child for eight years, and even at some point despaired. At that time, there were not many options for childbirth, and medicine was powerless if nature decreed that conception did not occur.
When the presenter was 39 years old, his wife became pregnant. They have one son, who today, like his father, is the leading KVN, and perhaps someday will replace his father as “commander-in-chief.”
Son of Alexander Maslyakov - Alexander Maslyakov
