From engineers to TV presenters

Alexander Maslyakov was born on November 24, 1941. His father Vasily Maslyakov was a military pilot by profession. After graduating from school, Sasha entered the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers (MIIT), and after graduating in 1966 he began working in his specialty.

Since 1981, he worked as a commentator at the Experiment television studio. He ended up on television completely by accident. Back in 1964, in his fourth year, the captain of the institute KVN team Pavel Kantor asked Maslyakov to become one of the five presenters of a humorous program that was to be filmed by the winning team last game. The winner that time was the MIIT team.

History of KVN The television show “Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful” was born in 1961. The name KVN could be deciphered in two ways: in those years the TV brand KVN-49 was produced. The first host of the program was Albert Axelrod. Three years later, he was replaced by Alexander Maslyakov, who hosted the program in tandem with the then experienced announcer Svetlana Zhiltsova. For the first seven years, the program was broadcast live. However, since the jokes of the team players sometimes criticized Soviet reality, they began to transfer it into recordings, removing “objectionable” passages. KVN was subject to strict censorship, not only from television, but also from the KGB. Thus, state security demanded that participants not wear beards, seeing this as... a mockery of the communist ideologist Karl Marx!

"Currency" article

At the end of 1971 the program was closed. This closure gave rise to many rumors. In particular, they said that Maslyakov ended up in prison. The article is “illegal transactions with currency.” It is interesting that very often representatives of bohemia and show business were imprisoned under this article, since they had access to foreign banknotes or had relevant connections. They say that Maslyakov allegedly served his sentence in the Rybinsk colony YN 83/2. Official information there was no mention of this anywhere. Although, when the KVN presenter allegedly arrived in the colony, rumors about it immediately spread throughout the city. They also say that in the colony Maslyakov behaved quietly and was in good standing with his superiors. He was released early after serving several months. Allegedly, they tried to hush up the case and not draw attention to it, so as not to discredit Soviet television.

Does the TV idol have a secret?

According to one version, Maslyakov went to prison not in 1971, but in 1974. Returning to television, he hosted the program “What? Where? When?”, “Hello, we are looking for talents”, “Come on, girls”, “Addresses of the young”, “Sprint for everyone”, “Turn”, “Jolly guys”, “12th floor”, reports from World festivals youth and students, international festivals songs in Sochi, the program “Song of the Year”, “Alexander Show” and many others. In 1986, with the beginning of perestroika, KVN was resumed. Moreover, with Alexander Maslyakov, who now led it in the singular!4 In 1990, Maslyakov founded creative association“Alexander Maslyakov and Company” (“AmiK”), which has since been the official organizer of KVN games and related programs. For his work on television, Alexander Maslyakov received many titles and awards. So, in 1994 he became an Honored Artist Russian Federation and laureate of the Ovation Prize, in 2002 - laureate of the Academy of Russian Television TEFI. And in 2006 he was awarded the Order of Merit for the Fatherland. An asteroid (5245 Maslyakov), discovered by Crimean, was even named after him. Astrophysical Observatory. When, during an interview, Alexander Vasilyevich is asked whether he was really convicted, Maslyakov answers in the negative. He claims that with a criminal record he would not have been allowed to work on television - at least not in Soviet era. Which is really true.

This man has not left the TV screens of the USSR for more than half a century and modern Russia. He is the absolute and indisputable authority of the most unique planet called KVN, real factory stars of future television celebrities.

Humor is serious job which not everyone can handle. How did Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov survive this apocalypse?

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.

Education

The first diploma in the biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr. was received quite late, in 1966, after graduating from the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers, when he was already 25 years old.

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.

According to Alexander Vasilyevich himself, this event occurred due to 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 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 State Security Committee. Ultimately, the program was finally taken off the air in 1972.

Career

And again - KVN!

After 14 years, in 1986, on the initiative of the Ostankino youth editors, it was decided to revive KVN. As a symbol of the continuity of the traditions of the “Merry and Resourceful Club”, Alexander Maslyakov and Svetlana Zhiltsova were again invited as hosts. However, due to life and business circumstances, Svetlana refused this offer. So Alexander Vasilyevich began to host this program alone.

When KVN returned to the biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr., he was able to create from this television project a real empire, one might say, the humorous broadcast industry.

From a permanent presenter, manager and director, Maslyakov Sr. turned into the president of the International KVN Union, after which in 1990 he created the television creative association Alexander Maslyakov and Company (TVO AMiK), which, in fact, produced the program KVN in the future.

Many stars of modern television have passed through the school of Maslyakov and the “Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful”, becoming real professionals and the most popular and sought-after television stars.

“Today, more than half of entertainment television is created by guys who played in KVN, by authors who wrote jokes for KVN. But every person has the right to do what he considers necessary, possible: stop at amateur performances or feel like an actor. You need to weigh your strengths and understand , can you. If yes, then go..."
