KVN team of friendship of peoples captain. Rudn KVN team: the lineup that made a splash

KVN is a game that has been exciting the souls of millions of people for many years. She is loved not only in Russia, but also far beyond its borders. There are a huge number of teams that have performed successfully on the KVN stage for a long time. Many of them have produced quite a few celebrities. One of such successful teams is RUDN University.

Finding yourself

In 1998, a unique and original KVN team was created at the University - “Children of Lumumba”. She immediately created a sensation. And it’s not surprising: it consisted of only Africans, who also tried to joke in Russian.

The dramatic rise of "Children of Lumumba" ended in the same collapse just 2 years later. By that time, everyone was tired of the team’s black-and-white humor, but “Children” failed to offer the audience anything radically new and original. At that time, many gave up on the KVN RUDN team. And they were wrong.

In 2000, the university again began searching for people who would join the RUDN University KVN team. The cast of "Children of Lumumba" was updated to include white-skinned children. In addition, they created a more multinational team with the original name “Samurai of Yokohama City, Kawasaki Prefecture.”

Both teams took part in the Sochi festival 2001. They played unevenly: sometimes they won, sometimes they lost. Each of the teams wanted to continue their careers, but the university leadership stated that only one of them could represent the university. As a result, it was decided to hold a tournament between teams within the university. Based on its results, the Samurai went to KiViN-2002, and they won the right to participate in the Euroleague.

First successes

2002 was the first full-fledged season in which the RUDN University KVN team announced itself. Its composition continues to be supplemented with new bright personalities who constantly bring original images to the game. For the first time since Lumumba's Children, the game becomes successful.

Finally, the guys were noticed and invited to the “Voting KiViN” in Jurmala. Everyone knows that this is a much higher level of play. The team comes here under the general name “RUDN KVN Team”. Its composition becomes more or less constant. The team's success was phenomenal: the guys took "KiViN in Black" and were given the honorable right to close the gala concert.

Unfortunately, in the fall of 2002, RUDN lost in the semifinals. But the jury members choose them as the third team to the final. And they turn out to be absolutely right: the team becomes the champion of the Euroleague 2002. And at KiVi-2003, RUDN University qualified for the Major League for the first time.

After two more years of successful performances at the Sochi KiVi-2005, right from the stage, the RUDN University KVN team, whose composition had finally become ideal, announced that it was taking a time out in its performances. Naturally, fans were shocked.

Celebrities

Like many teams, the team of Peoples' Friendship University produced a considerable number of successful guys who gained enormous popularity. This is not a complete list of those who once played for RUDN KVN. The team boasts the following members:

Sangadzhi Tarbaev - captain. This witty and extremely charming young man led his team in the right direction.

It would be incomplete without a charming guy. It was around him that a huge number of the team’s jokes were built at one time.

Ararat and Ashot Keshan are brothers for whom KVN became a launching pad. Having confidently declared themselves on stage, they became successful actors in the TV series “Univer” on TNT. Ashot also took part in the Friendship of Peoples project.

It is curious that many talented singers also emerge from the Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful. At one time, the composition of the RUDN KVN was supplemented by Pyotr Elfimov, who participated in Eurovision 2009, and Pierre Narcissus - that very “chocolate hare”.

Bakunev Vadim, Diana Mukhamedzhanova - the list of names of RUDN University players who regularly appear on television in one way or another is almost endless. One thing is indisputable: at one time this team brightly ascended to the KVN Olympus.

The present

In 2011, the team's fans were delighted. She suddenly appeared on “Voting KiViN” and performed so successfully that she took gold.

Today, the RUDN University team successfully traveled all over the country and beyond. The guys give concerts that draw full houses of people. They visited many countries where their performances were also a resounding success.

In 2014, the RUDN KVN team appeared on the stage again. Its composition has now been updated by hitherto unknown young talents who are studying at the Peoples' Friendship University. It is unclear whether they will be as successful, but anything is possible.

One of the most successful KVN teams can be called the RUDN team. This has happened in the past. Whether it will be the same in the future is still unknown to anyone. One thing can be said with confidence: RUDN KVN has already left its mark on the Planet.

Andrew Ndzhogu in KVN / Endru Ndzhogu

Andrew Njogu Mwai born October 22, 1981 in Kenya. Only in fifth grade Andrew found out where to be geographically Russia- while watching another football match, he noticed the abbreviation "THE USSR" on the backs of the players and wondered how it was deciphered "THE USSR". Then Andrew I couldn’t even imagine that I myself would end up in Russia and will remain to live in it.

In 1998 Andrew arrived in Russia and entered Peoples' Friendship University of Russia to the Faculty of Medicine. Almost immediately he was invited to participate in KVN- in a team "Children of Lumumba", which was later renamed "RUDN University". Andrew agrees - after all, this is a new and interesting experience for him.

The team's first appearance took place in Sochi. The team immediately won the favor of the public - for the first time in history Merry Club And Resourceful The team featured African artists who, moreover, made very funny jokes in Russian. According to the results "KiViNa - 98" team "RUDN University" entered the First League MS KVN and in the same year at the International Annual Music Festival "Voting KiViN" V Jurmala took second place and received her first award - "KiViN in light".

Andrew Mwai: “My parents are shocked that I’m doing show business in Russia. The fact is that I studied at the seminary in Kenya and wanted to become a priest. But I came to Russia, and life changed 180 degrees. In our Kenya KVNa Of course not. Therefore, I tried to explain to my relatives that this is a game associated with humor. In 2004, when we had our second final, my twin brother flew to the game.”

After the first team award Andrew even greater success awaited. In 2003, he managed to perform for the first time in Major League of KVN, and in 2006 - already become a champion Major League KVN, ahead of the team "Moon".

In 2007, the team publicly announced its departure from KVN. Andrew, like many other members of the team, is engaged in his own creativity - until, 4 years later, the team returns to the stage and becomes the owner "Big KiViN in gold" at a music festival "Voting KiViN".

Andrew Njogu teammates called "Black gold". In addition, he is one of the few “long-livers” of the team - after all Andrew advocated for it back when it was called "Children of Lumumba".

Further career of Andrew Ndzhogu / Endru Ndzhogu

After graduation Andrew received a diploma of completed higher education - a diploma of a gynecologist. Now he lives and works in Thule.

Having finished his career in KVN, Andrew participated in various television projects: "YBW - show", "The League of nations", "Wall to wall", "Star in a cube", "Five Stories" and in many others.

The most important achievement in my acting career Andrew while the film remains

The harbinger of the bright RUDN team in 1998 was the group “Children of Lumumba”.

It was they who, at the winter format of the Sochi Festival, made it clear to fans of this game that at the Russian Peoples' Friendship University they not only know about KVN, but also play with pleasure.

The team was sharply different from others, but the main thing was for the first time in the history of the Club, Africans performed in its composition. The guys, of course, looked exotic, but that was not the main thing about them.

The main thing is that they joked very interestingly, albeit not in completely pure, but still in Russian. In the future, “Children of Lumumba” were able to receive “KiViNa in Light” and the Moscow Cup. True, they could not achieve anything more and many spectators decided that they would never see such a team again. How wrong they were!

In 2000, RUDN University decided to hold the first internal KVN tournament in its history.. A lot of guys enthusiastically began to participate in new teams, but of course their level can only be called amateur. Gradually, leaders emerged and very soon, on the basis of the teams of one of the faculties, a new, as it seemed then, strong team was formed.

It was called "Samurai of Yokogamma City, Kawasaki Prefecture." At the same time, “Children of Lumumba” also radically updated its composition. Now within RUDN there were two full-fledged, interesting teams. Moreover, they consisted not only of black students, but also representatives of a number of other nations.

That is, these were the first truly international teams. Both of these teams go to the Sochi Festival 2001. As a result, “Children of Lumumba” are sent to the Northern League, and “Samurai” to the First. The teams play rather unevenly, not one of them was anything special.

At some point, it became clear that two teams were too many for one single university. A small tournament is organized inside RUDN between these teams and as a result, “Samurai” are sent to the KiViN-2002 team festival in Sochi. After it, the team moves to the so-called Euroleague, which is based in Miska, Belarus.

After the first games the team is invited to Jurmala and it is here the guys go on stage for the first time under the name “RUDN University Team”.

Here they receive the “KiViN in the Dark” figurine and begin their victorious march, which will lead them to the rank of the most star-studded and audience-favorite teams.

Read more about the most significant victories of the RUDN Team below. The team's series of victories in the lower echelon KVN Leagues ends quite as expected - in 2003 the guys get a ticket to the Major League!

The very first season here, in the League that every KV player dreams of, the guys not only reach the finals, but take third place there! The second season turned out to be less successful - at first RUDN University is eliminated from the competition and only the decision of the jury brings them back. Then everything worked out as expected - the guys’ humor led them to second place in the Major League!

But after this, the team captain, while on stage at the KiViN-2005 festival in Sochi, suddenly announced that “RUDN University team”... takes a break in its career.

Fans of the team decided that this was nothing more than a joke.

Only it turned out that this was not the case, the team actually took a break for the whole season. True, the guys did not sit still!

They organized large-scale tours throughout Russia and Ukraine, tried themselves in other KVN projects, including “Outside the Game,” and visited the next music festival in Jurmala. And it was precisely this year that a new team “RUDNIK” appeared at the university that was native to the children, which the senior comrades gladly supervised and protected.

In 2006, the team again appeared in Major League games.. A year's rest from competition, new emotions from travel played their role - the RUDN National Team became an unconditional finalist and won quite easily. On this high note, the team decided to stop playing and they violated their decision only once, in 2014. This season the team almost barely reached the semi-finals, but no more.

Don't miss interesting things:

What, besides multinationality, is the highlight of the “RUDN University Team”? Of course, the main thing is subtle and dynamic humor, but it should be noted that this particular team is distinguished by its unique musicality. Perhaps this is also due to the fact that this team has a lot of KiViN statuettes.

Champion composition of the KVN team RUDN team - participants of the KVN show for 55 years.

One of the most prominent members of this team is certainly its captain, a native of the capital of the Kalmyk Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic Elista, Sangadzhi Tarbaev. The tall and stately young man differed from everyone else not only in his unusual appearance, but also in his extraordinary sense of humor. Moreover, it was he who made one of the most interesting careers after KVN. His portfolio includes such positions as:

Sangaji managed to show himself in the political field. Currently he is the chairman of the Commission for Support of Youth Initiatives of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation.

The RUDN team comes to the festival of KVN teams "KiViN-2004" in Sochi as a bronze medalist of the Major League!
Having closed the festival for the fourth time, the team again advances to the Major League. The series of trials begins again. In the 1/8 finals of the VL-2004, the team was defeated and left the race. However, by the decision of the RUDN jury, it advances to the quarterfinals.

Next is the festival in Jurmala and “KiViN in the Dark” and again closing the festival with a performance by the RUDN University team. Then the semi-finals and finals of the Major League. The RUDN team finishes the 2004 VL season with the rank of silver medalist.
The festival "KiViN-2005" in Sochi is ahead, but the team declares right from the stage that they are going to take a break and will not go to the next season.

The history of the RUDN KVN team began in 2000 at the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, when it was decided to hold the first internal season of KVN games.
In order to find out the conditions of the invitation and order a performance for the celebration, call the official website of the RUDN KVN team page and contacts of the direct concert agent on the website.
It was then that about 100 people simultaneously decided to try their hand at this interesting and at the same time not easy game. Of course, the level of preparation did not allow them to perform at the level at which the “Children of Lumumba” played. There was a lot of work to be done! And it began. First of all, we had to somehow try to rebuild and find a new line and idea in the team’s humor. The first problems appeared. The old team, consisting of African actors and a whole army of Russian-speaking guys who did the behind-the-scenes work, was not ready for such changes.
New blood was needed - that’s where the decision was made to create a new team. The new team was founded on the basis of one of the faculty teams and received a simple name - “Samurai of Yokogamma, Kawasaki Prefecture.” At the same time, “Children of Lumumba” is also updating its roster, recruiting guys from the domestic season. Now both teams were not black and white teams, but a more multinational composition, which largely predetermined the future of RUDN KVN.

Composition of the RUDN-KVN national team:

Sangadzhi Tarbaev (captain), Ararat Keshchyan, Ashot Keshchyan, Dmitry Budashkaev, Vadim Bakunev, Evgeniy Donskikh, Kirill Kachurin, Andrew Njogu, Pierre Narcisse and others...

The Euroleague season was the first full season. It was this year that the team found its own style of play, constantly strengthening itself with new and new images.
Having won the first two games of the season, in June 2002 the team went to the music festival in Kazan. Young teams come there to compete for the right to take part in a music festival of a higher level - at the “Voting KiViN” in Jurmala.
The team travels to Jurmala under the general name of the RUDN team, where for the first time it appears before the audience in the hall and television viewers as a renewed team of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. At this festival, the RUDN University team becomes the owner of “KiViN in the Dark”, but, no less important, receives the honorable right to close the gala concert of the festival with their performance. From this moment begins a series of performances with which our team closes festival programs for several years in a row.

The 2003 VL semi-finals, which consisted of two games in a row, were very difficult for the team.
Having failed in the first semi-final, finishing last out of five, the team was shocked by such a crushing defeat. However, having gathered her strength, she quickly recovered and in the second semi-final did the impossible - she confidently stepped from fifth place to third, leaving two rivals behind and securing her place in the final. The first season in the Major League ended for the RUDN University team with passage to the finals, which in itself is a significant achievement.

What is the composition of the RUDN KVN team? This is a great team that offers the viewer a great set of jokes. The composition of the RUDN KVN team is a whole journey made around the world. In Russia, Africa, Asia, India, the Caucasus - humor is different everywhere. However, thanks to this command, it becomes clear to absolutely everyone. Various scenarios, excellent presentation and united work - all this makes the team real champions.

The composition of the RUDN KVN team allows you to have fun in your free time

So, more details. The composition of the RUDN KVN team pleases the viewer with a lot of advantages. The guys are playing just great. Their performances are truly superb. They are full of intelligent “adult” humor, dynamic dance inserts, original vocal numbers and the charisma of each team member.

By the way, the team can perform in a variety of formats. This could be an ordinary show program with the best numbers from the major league of KVN, a long event program (“12 months: an international fairy tale”, “New Year of the Peoples of the World”), or the performance of various corporate events by a group of artists at many well-known companies.

The presenters conduct events, either as a whole team or one at a time. Each of the actors on the team copes with this task perfectly. However, the real professionals in their field are Vadim Bakunev, Ashot Keshchyan and Andrew Njogu. They have held many corporate events of the highest level.

Vadim Bakunev is also a director of various events. They prepare a time plan for absolutely all services (artists, sound, lighting). He manages all the contractors and departments at the concert venue.

Ashot Keshchyan is an excellent sound engineer. Today, this area of activity is the main one for the artist. After completing special directing courses, he shot one of the short stories of the film “Moms”, the film “Nannies”, the series “Robbery in a Woman’s Way”, and the short film “Shadows of Unforgotten Ancestors”.

Production of TV shows and films

The composition of the RUDN KVN team is also famous for the fact that it has the PFG holding. This includes event operators in Russia and the CIS. And also PFG production - production of television shows and films.

Among the representatives are 25 famous artists and presenters: Tarbaev Sangadzhi, Gorelikov Sergey and many others. The team also presents a variety of exclusive show programs: “One for All”, “Give Youth”, “RUDN Show”, “Cook-ha”, etc. The filming crew includes about 300 professionals: producers, costume designers, make-up artists, authors , actors and directors.

The most famous

In a word, it was not without reason that the KVN RUDN team was able to win a huge number of fans. The cast, photos of which can be seen in any publication about show programs, cannot fail to impress lovers of good humor with their performance. By the way, many successful guys who started performing here were born. They were able to gain incredible popularity. It’s probably worth paying attention to the most famous participants.

Firstly, this is the first captain of the team. This unusually charming and witty young man was easily able to lead his team in the right direction.

The team would be absolutely incomplete without a charming and attractive guy named. At one time, most of the team’s jokes were built around him.

Keshchyan Ashot and Ararat are two brothers for whom KVN could become a launching pad. The guys were very confident in making themselves known from the stage. As a result, they became the stars of the famous youth series called “Univer” on TNT. Ashot also took part in the major project “Friendship of Peoples”.

By the way, quite a lot of talented performers often emerge from the Club of Cheerful and Resourceful People. For example, the RUDN team was once replenished with such a wonderful artist as Pyotr Elfimov, who later took part in Eurovision 2009 from Belarus. Better known as the “chocolate bunny” also played here.

Mukhamedzhanova Diana, Bakunev Vadim - the list of names of team players who regularly appear on television is endless. Only one thing is indisputable: this team was able to ascend to the KVN Olympus very brightly and beautifully.

First and second compositions

And finally. Let's remember the legendary composition of the KVN RUDN University team in 2006. This included Sangadzhi Tarbaev (captain), Vasant Balan, Peter Elfimov, Dmitry Budashkaev, Evgeniy Donskikh, Denis Zhalinsky, Ashot Keshchyan, Ararat Keshyan, Ekveribe Chidozne Kelechi, Antonio Udochukwu (Dozi), Alexander Ilyin, Andrew Mwai Njogu, Kira Begunova, Mukhamedzhanova Diana, Olga Kachurina, Kirill Kachurin, Vadim Bakunev, Khaled Yusuf, Konstantin Fedorov. The guys were remembered by everyone for their excellent play. They became champions!

The composition of the KVN RUDN 2014 team was presented to the viewer in a completely different way. The team pleased with the performance of Igor Kim (captain), Shevga Akhadov, Bakhtiyar Tashbulatov, Sergey Arzybov, Yulia Loseva, Belinda Mala, Arayik Mangasaryan, Trofim Pustilnik, Daler Rakhimov.

In general, RUDN University is a wonderful team. There are truly talented guys playing in the team. Watching them perform is a real pleasure. Watch and see for yourself!
