For some reason I wanted to throw out on “paper” various interesting knowledge and facts that had accumulated in my head during my passion for KVN (and this is exactly from about 2000 to the present day). To be honest, I don’t know who this series of posts is intended for - fans of the game like me know everything, but those who don’t care about KVN will not be interested. So these posts are intended for a very narrow audience - those who are interested in KVN and watch it, but do not crawl around thematic sites and forums. In general, to be even more honest, I’m just working out a contract with higher powers, which rewarded me with irrepressible graphomania and laziness. Separately, I would like to note that I will try to write this post without consulting sources, using solely my memory.
So, what is so interesting that I know about KVN, limited only to the 21st century and the Major League, so as not to go into details that are definitely not interesting to anyone.
The geography of the Major League championship is quite extensive. In the 21st century, teams from Yekaterinburg, Minsk, Chelyabinsk and Magnitogorsk, Sochi, Pyatigorsk, Moscow, Sukhumi, Tomsk, Kursk, Krasnodar Territory, Samara and Smolensk became champions. At the same time, Moscow has three championship teams behind it (and in a row - in 2005 " Megapolis", in 2006 " RUDN University team"and in 2007" Ordinary people "), and Pyatigorsk - two (in 2004 " Pyatigorsk team"and in 2013" City of Pyatigorsk").
Parade of Champions:
In the 21st century, there is only one team that was able to win the Major League in its first year in it. It was a command" Megapolis"from Moscow. Natalya Andreevna, Denis and the company burst into HSE, being the champions of the Premiere, conquered it with their humor and immediately left KVN. They, along with " Nartami from Abkhazia" are the only double champions of the Club.
Theoretically, we can assume that Pyatigorsk team I was able to achieve the same thing in 2003 - win the HSE on my first try. However, “thanks to” the programmer’s mistake and the club’s incorrect policy, the championship that year was won single-handedly.” Burnt out by the sun" from Sochi. It’s worth dwelling on this case in more detail, it’s very interesting. It was the final of 2003. There were seven judges, and the average score was calculated to the nearest tenth. It’s a no brainer that with 7 judges, the score was inevitably rounded up after each competition, since when dividing an integer by 7, hundredths and even thousandths almost inevitably arise. The final ended with the score 20.1 in Sochi versus 20.0 in Pyatigorsk. However, loyal fans immediately noticed a glitch in the system - if they simply added up the numbers on the signs, the score was equal. That is, in fact, both. the teams were supposed to become champions. However, Pyatigorsk was so strong that the scandal generally resolved itself. Everyone was just 100 percent sure that they would get their way in 2004, and the fans would be able to see many more performances of their favorite team. it came out.
The first winners of the 21st century had the longest climb to victory - " Ural dumplings"They've been going towards this for 6 years.
The only champion team not to miss its next season is " Ordinary people"from Moscow. To put it mildly, they were very surprised that they managed to win the Major League in 2007, beating the seemingly invincible Pyramid from Vladikavkaz at the finish line. They wanted to play more, so they decided to give up unspoken rule about skipping the season and entered into battle in 2008. We reached the quarterfinals and were eliminated.
There has also been a funny trend that some teams first lose two finals in a row, then miss a year, then come back and become champions. See for yourself: " Burnt out by the sun", Sochi: finals in 2000 and 2001, pass in 2002, championship in 2003. Further: " RUDN University team": finals in 2003 and 2004, missing out in 2005, championship in 2006. Further, " Prima"from Kursk: finals in 2006 and 2007, missing out in 2008, championship in 2009. Continue," Triode and Diode"from Smolensk: finals in 2009 and 2010, missing out in 2011 and championship in 2012. If you try to continue this chain, then the champion of 2015 should become a two-time finalist in 2012 and 2013, while missing out on the current season. But such a team, unfortunately , No.
There is a separate layer of teams that were never able to become champions, while being absolutely iconic and adored by thousands of fans. On thematic sites there is even such a thing as the “Club of Great Non-Champions”, although everyone decides for themselves who to include there. Most often such lists include " Team St. Petersburg", "Emergency"from Minsk, " Moon"from Chelyabinsk, " Pyramid"from Vladikavkaz, " Kazakhs", "Fedor Dvinyatin"and with a stretch" Sportivnaya station", Moscow. Regarding last year's finalists - " Parapaparam" And " Dnieper" and their inclusion in this virtual club, the opinions of fans are very much divided. So it’s more likely no than yes.
The most heated battles about "non-championship" arose over " Moon" And " Pyramids", the rest, according to the majority, lost their finals fairly. So, the final of 2006. After four competitions " Moon"wins against RUDN University one tenth of a point. Basically it all comes down to who has the best homework. It turns out RUDN University, shows (according to most) a fairly average competition. The hearts of fans from Chelyabinsk are burning with hope. It comes out" MOON", the competition shows that it is at least no worse. The teams line up on stage, the jury gives scores and wins with a fairly impressive margin RUDN University. Several points are indicative: first, Guzman was the only one who delivered Moon score for this competition is higher, and in his speech he furiously hinted that he considered victory RUDN University unfair. Second point - captain RUDN University Sangadzhi Tarbaev notes in an interview that “they went on stage to receive silver.” Third - MOON at the invitation of Maslyakov in 2007, he became the first non-championship participant in the “Summer Champions Cup” in Sochi. Losing again RUDN University, this time deservedly so. My personal opinion - MOON condemned. You can decide for yourself, here are those two homework assignments.
WITH " Pyramid"it turned out even more fun. Final - 2007. Absolute equality between them and " Ordinary people" before last competition. Two homework assignments of approximately equal strength are shown. Announcement of ratings: " To ordinary people"Everyone gives sixes, except Guzman. He gives 5. Vladikavkaz residents smell the smell of an imminent victory. Ratings Pyramid: All members of the jury give sixes... except for Guzman. Yuliy Solomonovich puts Pyramid 4!! If he had given at least five, there would have been two champions. But no, he decides differently. Vladikavkaz captain David, going for silver, cannot hide the aggression in the look he throws at the honored member of the jury. Ordinary people- champions, and they themselves are shocked. Pyramid, by the way, then, unlike MOON was able to win the Summer Cup, albeit in conjunction with " Nartami from Abkhazia".
To be continued...
The prototype of KVN was the program “Evening of Fun Questions”, organized by journalist Sergei Muratov based on the model of the Czech program “Guess, Fortune, Fortune Teller”. In the program “Evening of Fun Questions,” aired in 1957, viewers answered questions from the presenters, and humor was especially welcomed. The idea was completely new at that time. For the first time, not only the presenters, but also the audience participated in a Soviet television program. In addition, “Evening” was broadcast live. The program was produced by the “Festival Edition of Central Television”, the first youth edition on Soviet television, founded by Sergei Muratov in 1956.
“An Evening of Fun Questions” was very popular, but was broadcast only three times. On the third program, a prize was promised to everyone who came to the studio wearing a fur coat, a hat and felt boots (it was summer) and with a newspaper for December 31 of last year. The host of the program, composer Nikita Bogoslovsky, forgot to mention the newspaper. Of course, almost all TV viewers had winter clothes. Crowds of people in fur coats and felt boots arrived, burst into the studio, swept away the police, and complete chaos began. The broadcast was stopped, but the program was not replaced with anything. For the rest of the evening, the televisions showed the screensaver “Break due to technical reasons.” The broadcast was closed by the editors.
The closed resolution of the CPSU Central Committee regarding “VVV” was published only a few years ago (according to the textbook “Television Journalism”, edited by A. Ya. Yurovsky, Moscow, 2005). [source not specified 154 days]
Four years later, on November 8, 1961, Elena Galperina called Sergei Muratov and said that the people needed their transfer. Row former creators The “Evening of Fun Questions” program released a new TV show - KVN. The first presenter - Albert Axelrod - left the program in 1964, Sergei Muratov and Mikhail Yakovlev left KVN with him. Axelrod was replaced by MIIT student Alexander Maslyakov (since then he has been the permanent host of this program), along with him the program was hosted by announcer Svetlana Zhiltsova. The abbreviation KVN stood for “Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful,” but in addition, it was the brand of the then TV set - KVN-49. Teams have already competed in the KVN program. Since the teams often made irony about Soviet reality or ideology (it was these jokes that TV viewers liked most [source not specified 154 days]), at some point they began to be broadcast not as live broadcasts, but as recordings, and jokes that were questionable from an ideological point of view cut out [source not specified 154 days]. The program irritated the source not specified for 154 days, the head of central television, Sergei Lapin, and soon the KGB began to deal with it. Censorship became more and more stringent over time, to the point that it was forbidden to go on stage with a beard - this was considered a mockery of Karl Marx. source not specified 154 days / At the end of 1971, after Lapin’s proceedings with Muratov, the program was closed.
KVN, like “Evening of Fun Questions,” was extremely popular. The KVN movement arose throughout the country. In imitation of the broadcast of the KVN game, schools organized pioneer camps etc. Qualifying KVN tournaments were held in universities throughout the country, and appeared on television best teams.
KVN was revived in 1986, the beginning of perestroika. The initiator was the captain of the KVN MISI of the 1960s, Andrei Menshikov. The presenter, as before closing, was Maslyakov. After the revival, the founders of KVN were invited first by the jury, and then as guests of honor. The first presenter of the program, Albert Axelrod, proposed his image of Maslyakov, but the presenter did not like this idea. After a few issues, the teams reached the same high level as KVN of the 1960s. The KVN movement arose again, and games are held in Western Europe(West European League of KVN), Israel and the USA. The first international game of the CIS - Israel (1992, Moscow) and even the World Championship between the teams of the USA, Israel, the CIS and Germany (1994, Israel) are held (with stunning success). KVN is becoming one of the most popular Russian television programs.
Many KVN participants, after completing their playing careers, became popular TV presenters, organizing their own humorous programs. Among them are Yuli Gusman, Bakhram Bagirzade, Oleg Filimonov, Valdis Pelsh, Alexey Kortnev, Sergei Sivokho, Tatyana Lazareva, Mikhail Shats, Sergei Belogolovtsev, Timur Batrutdinov, Mikhail Galustyan, Garik Martirosyan, Garik Kharlamov, Alexander Pushnoy, Gennady Khazanov.
Rules of the game
Student team performance
B KVN play according to different rules, sometimes they can change right during the game, which happens even in the most important major league. However, there are rules that are adhered to in any case in all leagues, which makes KVN a recognizable game.
Firstly, KVN is played in teams. At a minimum, the team must contain at least two members (the smallest team that performed at a high level, the “Team of Small Peoples,” at one time consisted of only two players). Every team must have a captain. The KVN captain must also represent his team at the captain competition if he is included in the game program. Most teams wear original costumes that distinguish the players of this team from other players. Costumes within one team can be identical, in the same style, or personal, unique for each team member.
Secondly, the game should be divided into separate competitions. Usually, each competition is given, in addition to the nominal (“Warm-up”, “ Music competition"), the original title that sets the theme for the entire performance. The game itself also gets an original name, defining general theme games. Each competition must be judged by a jury headed by its chairman.

Major League
Main article: KVN Major League
The Major League of the revived KVN has existed since 1986, when KVN reappeared on television. Until 1993, this league was the only official one, and in 1993 the first league appeared, the champion of which received an automatic ticket to the major league of the next season. Thus, the level of the major league began to grow from year to year, and most teams got there after having already played in the first league. Later, in 1999, other official KVN leagues appeared, and teams with experience of playing in various official leagues of TTO AMiK began to reach the top. The number of major league teams increased from 6 to 12 and 15 teams in the season. Typically the top league consists of three round of 16 games, two quarter-finals, two semi-finals and a final, although different times experiments were carried out with consolation games and double semi-finals. The champion of the major league is considered the champion of the entire club and receives the right to play in the KVN Summer Cup. The leader of the league is Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov, the jury is famous people, B lately The permanent members of the jury are Konstantin Ernst (chairman of the jury), Yuliy Gusman, Leonid Yarmolnik, Mikhail Efremov and Igor Vernik. The remaining jury members change from game to game.
From 1986 to 2009, 138 KVN teams played in the major league.
Premier League
Main article: KVN Premier League
The Premier League was opened in 2003 and became the second television league of Channel One. The Premier League is played by younger KVN teams, mostly champions and finalists of various official leagues. In 2004, it was decided that the champion of the first league would be included in the television league, that is, in the major or premier league, only the champion of the premier league automatically gets into the major league. In addition, teams that lost the 1/8 finals of the major league enter the Premier League season and are offered to continue the season in the Premier League. The layout of a Premier League season changes from Season B to Season: Sometimes a season starts with a Premier League Festival (which functions as a qualifying game), then three or four round of 16 games, two or three quarter-finals, two semi-finals and a final are played. At the moment [when?] most of the major league teams are Premier League graduate teams, among them the 2005 Club champions, “Narts from Abkhazia” and “Megapolis”, as well as the 2007 champion MPEI team, “Ordinary People”, 2008 champion “Maximum” (Tomsk).

Offer of the day: performance by the KVN team
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 to 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 every 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, the participants of the “Ural Dumplings” are shown on television screens and concert venues across the country with almost the same 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. 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 of such a history as the “District City”. Over the years, both “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 viewers look at their lives from a different perspective, in some places to understand the current way of life of their neighbors, and in others to reconsider their attitude towards them. Despite the fact that many jokes have a political connotation, they are all very sincere and contain good humor, which is what became fundamental success 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 - the best captain of 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 performances Ukrainian participants KVN on the Moscow stages, which was 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 was simply amazing.
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 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 were justified, 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 "Union" is a humorous rehash of popular songs on current 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 acting 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.
People always strive to get away from everyday worries and hassles. They will be helped with this various events, which allow you to relax both soul and body. To lift your spirits, you can visit the entertainment center, sauna, etc. But there is another option. You can turn on the TV at a certain time and watch a humorous TV show, such as KVN, Stand-Up and much more.

KVN winners - how many have there been over the past years? It is not so easy to list everyone, and we do not set such a task. We will try to tell you about the brightest KVN winners by year.
The conditions for playing KVN are quite unpretentious. It is enough to have at least two teams; each team has two participants, one of whom is the captain. A number of competitions are offered to game participants; How well the team copes with the task is assessed by the jury, giving marks on a 6-point system. For each competition, the score is averaged. Based on the results of all competitions, the total score of each team is displayed. The highest digital indicator makes the team the winner.
Now let's rewind time a few years ago and remember the legendary winners of the past.
The first winner of the updated KVN
Winner of the first season of KVN new wave In 1986, the team “Odessa Gentlemen” became a group. This was already enough to get into the top ten most popular KVN teams. But easy paths are not for the “Odessa gentlemen”. In 1990, they repeated their success, being the first to twice win the title of champions of the KVN Major League. This team is remembered not only for their tuxedos and white scarves, but also for their highly intelligent, sparkling Odessa humor.
They were also the first to continue their careers as comedians on television, creating The Gentleman Show, setting a precedent. After them, many groups of former KVN players followed the path they had blazed to television. The team consisted of 37 people led by captain Svyatoslav Pelishenko. Their most famous numbers are “Slave Izaura” and “Elections of Ivan Ivanovich”.
Three times champions
KVN NSU team
No less memorable were the guys from Novosibirsk State University, who even surpassed the lucky “gentlemen” and became three-time champions of the major league in 1988, 1991 and 1993. The magnificent team from Siberia won all the games in which they participated. The composition of the team changed several times, but those from the team were remembered by many for a long time. These are Tatyana Lazareva and Alexander Pushnoy, Konstantin Naumochkin and Mikhail Zuev. In addition, it was in this team that 4-year-old Pelageya made her debut on television.

For reasons unknown to the general public, she did not take part in the 2014 season, but 2015 was marked by a victory in top level. The team will forever remain in the history of the KVN movement.
Winners of KVN 2016
This season turned out to be successful for the Kyrgyz team from Beshkek “Asia MIX”. This team walked to its victory long and hard. There are 16 people in the team in total. The composition is multinational. The performance of the group captivates with its specific Asian humor and flavor. Captain - Eldiyar Kenensarov, who previously played as part of the Voice of Asia team, author and experienced player took his players from winning the regional games in 2009 to finally winning in 2016. It was a difficult path, we had to overcome lack of money, inertia and misunderstanding, but the team survived and won, forever writing itself into the annals of KVN history.
Who turned out to be the winner in other leagues last year?:
- The children from “NATE” (the village of Bryukhovetskaya) became the premier champions;

- FEFU League - a group of youth from Vladivostok with the comical name “7 B” won;
