Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to engage in slandering decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deceit, slander, and fraud. There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money.

She dreamed of playing on stage since school. Theater studios Lyceum and House children's creativity become stepping stones on the path to acting skills. By graduation, Oksana knew for sure that she wanted to become an actress. But ... at the last moment, she applied for the faculty of directing theatrical performances at the Oryol State Institute of Arts and Culture.
- Then I had a poor idea of what I would have to do, - I followed the advice of teachers and did not regret it, - says Oksana Ageeva. – A distinctive feature of our course was the love of clowning. This image is so fond of that I do not part with it until today. The clowness says that since childhood, with bated breath, she has been watching
sacred ceremony on the stage of Yuri Nikulin and Oleg Popov, Leonid Yengibarov and Georgy Deliev.
The first student performances were made as tracing papers for productions by Vyacheslav Polunin and Leonid Leikin - remember the famous "Asisyai"? Polunin's "snow show", which Oksana visited, having already taken place in the profession, became the embodiment of her childhood dream.
- Foreign and Russian clowns are very different. The first task is to entertain or scare. Our sincere, good-bearing - this is what bribes adults and children, - the young woman argues. You can’t tell from her that at times the mother of two children turns into a clockwork girl Ksyu - this is the beauty of reincarnation!
You can afford to be funny, bright, naive, annoying sticky or grumpy old woman ... The fact that Oksana succeeds in images is evidenced by the fact that, as a rule, she is not recognized without makeup, although she is always in sight.
Since 2006, Oksana Sergeevna has been working as a director at the Central Regional Department of Cinematography, helping to prepare holidays, theatrical performances and other regional events, participating in game programs, putting on stage costumes, then hiding inside life-size puppets.
It would seem that in this profession you can play so much in a day that there is no time for fun. Only not for Oksana! Not only do her sons, 3 and 7 years old, keep her busy, she is also an active social activist. As a volunteer, Veselaia Ksyu gives a good mood to young residents of Liven, regardless of her own time.
She is a frequent visitor to social institutions for children (SRTS Ogonyok in the village of Uspensky and the city SRTSN on Frunze St.), at holidays for disabled children. Close cooperation has developed with public organization"4 paws", Livensky bikers. Ksyu helps organize children's leisure activities on City Day, at charity fairs, events at schools or at courtyards. Clowning for her is a state of mind, a way to decorate the surrounding reality and give smiles to the audience. The whole family imperceptibly became involved in the cheerful mess of performances and reincarnations.
Sons Artem and Oleg are attracted by the contents of a magical suitcase with props. Most of the relatives are involved in the creation of costumes. Mom Lyubov Vasilievna Greshnikova helps with advice on
creating images and is the first viewer and critic of new programs. Papa Sergei Ivanovich unexpectedly opened up in the role of Santa Claus: there was no one to replace his ill partner, and Oksana's father came to help. At first, he simply frowned angrily and banged his staff, but after a few matinees he enjoyed dancing with the children, joked, listened to poetry and gave gifts.
Her husband Mikhail, an engineer by education, supports Oksana in everything from the purchase of makeup to the manufacture of costumes. Mikhail has experience playing in the folk theater TsRDK, so he “defrosts” with pleasure and, if necessary, can help out his wife by working as a life-size puppet. By the way, not everyone can stand the test with a doll, given that only the head weighs 4-6 kg and significantly reduces the view. Half an hour indoors and no more than two hours on the street you can be in such a suit without harm to health, so the help of your husband
very handy.
During its existence, a whole galaxy of famous clowns arose in Russia, captivating the audience not only in our country, but throughout the world. Why not remember the people who devoted their lives to circus art, those who were loved by adults and children. So our list of the most famous, famous and beloved clowns of the USSR and Russia:
1. Mikhail Rumyantsev -Pencil
Photo: www.livemaster.ruMikhail Rumyantsev (stage name - Pencil, 1901 - 1983) - an outstanding Soviet clown, one of the founders of the clownery genre in Russia. National artist USSR (1969).
Mikhail Nikolaevich Rumyantsev was born on December 10, 1901 in St. Petersburg. Mikhail's introduction to art began in art school, however, the training did not arouse interest. The career of the future artist began with drawing posters for the theater, when at the age of 20 he began working in the Tver circus as a poster designer.
In 1925, Rumyantsev moved to Moscow, where he began to draw posters for films. fateful for young artist was 1926 when he saw Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks next to him. Like them, Rumyantsev decided to become an actor. After courses in stage movement in 1926, he entered the school circus art in the class of eccentric acrobats. In 1930 he successfully graduated from the circus school and began working as a circus performer.
Initially (from 1928 to 1932) Rumyantsev appeared in public in the image of Charlie Chaplin, but soon decided to abandon this image.
In 1935, he came to work in the Leningrad circus, from where he was transferred to the Moscow circus. It was at this time that Mikhail Nikolaevich came up with the pseudonym Pencil (Karan d'Ash) for himself and began work on his image. An ordinary black suit, but baggy; regular shoes, but a few sizes larger; almost an ordinary hat, but with a pointed crown. No false nose or scarlet mouth to the ears. From Chaplin, only a small mustache remained, emphasizing the mimic capabilities of the face. A pencil is an ordinary person, good-natured, witty, cheerful, resourceful, full of childish spontaneity, charm and energy. His deliberate clumsiness and awkwardness gave rise to funny situations.
Photo: www.livemaster.ru The pencil worked like a clown in many circus genres: acrobatics and gymnastics, training, etc. The Scottish terrier Klyaksa became a constant companion and "identification mark" of the Pencil.
Satire has become one of the main colors of the Pencil's creative palette. The beginning of the satirical direction of work was laid during the Great Patriotic War when the Pencil created a series of numbers denouncing the leaders of Nazi Germany. After the end of the war, topical satirical reprises also remained in his repertoire. Coming on tour to new town, the artist tried to insert the name of some local popular place into his speech.
In the 40s and 50s, Pencil began to attract assistants to his performances, among which Yuri Nikulin stood out, as well as Mikhail Shuydin, who later made a magnificent
clown duo.
The clown was so popular that only his performances guaranteed the circus financial success. The cheerful clown conscientiously devoted himself to his work, but even outside the arena he demanded complete dedication from his assistants.
Pencil became the first Soviet clown, whose popularity has stepped far beyond the borders of the country. He was known and loved in Finland, France, East Germany, Italy, England, Brazil, Uruguay and other countries.
Mikhail Nikolaevich Rumyantsev worked in the circus for 55 years. The last time he appeared in the arena was just 2 weeks before his death.
2. Yuri Nikulin
Yuri Nikulin (1921 - 1997) - Soviet circus artist, film actor. People's Artist of the USSR (1973), Laureate of the State Prize of the RSFSR (1970).
Yuri Vladimirovich Nikulin was born on December 18, 1921 in the city of Demidov, Smolensk region. The father and mother of the future clown were actors, which must have predetermined the fate of Nikulin.
In 1925 he moved with his parents to Moscow. After graduating from the 10th grade of the school in 1939, Yuri Nikulin was drafted into the army. In the rank of private, he participated in two wars: the Finnish (1939 - 1940) and the Great Patriotic War (1941 - 1945), receiving military awards. In 1946, Nikulin was demobilized.
After unsuccessful attempts to enter VGIK (All-Union State Institute of Cinematography) and GITIS (State Institute theatrical art) Nikulin entered the studio of colloquial genres at the Moscow Circus, from which he graduated in 1949.
In the late 1940s, he began performing in a group of clowns led by Pencil at the Moscow State Circus. Then he formed a creative duet with another assistant to the clown Pencil - Mikhail Shuidin.
Agency "Photo ITAR-TASS". Mikhail Shuidin and Yuri Nikulin The duet Nikulin-Shuidin existed for quite a long time and enjoyed great success with the audience. The couple went on tour a lot and quickly gained experience. Their joint work continued until 1981. If Shuidin had the image of a shirt-guy who knows everything, then Nikulin portrayed a lazy and melancholic person. In life, partners in the arena of relations practically did not support.
The main thing in Nikulin's creative individuality is a crushing sense of humor with full preservation of outward equanimity. The costume was built on a funny contrast of short striped trousers and huge boots with a pseudo-elegant top - a black jacket, a white shirt, a tie and a boater hat.
photo: kommersant.ru A masterfully designed mask (behind the outward rudeness and even some stupidity, wisdom and a tender, vulnerable soul showed through) allowed Yuri Nikulin to work in the most difficult genre of clowning - lyric-romantic reprises. On the arena, he was always organic, naive and touching, while he knew how to make the audience laugh like no one else. In the clown image of Nikulin, the distance between the mask and the artist was surprisingly preserved, and this gave the character great depth and versatility.
During his long life in the arena, Yuri Nikulin created many unique reprises, sketches and pantomimes, of which the most memorable and dear for the artist were "Little Pierre", Pipo and the millionaire in circus performances"Carnival in Cuba" and "Peace Pipe", Barmaley in the New Year's performance for children, etc. One of the most famous genre scenes is the legendary "log".
1981 M. Shuidin, Y. Nikulin and D. Alperov, scene "Log The versatility of talent allowed Yuri Nikulin to be realized in other genres. He starred in more than forty films, playing both vividly comedic and dramatic, and truly tragic roles.
Debut on big screen took place in 1958. Gaidai's comedies ("Operation Y" and Shurik's other adventures, "Prisoner of the Caucasus", "The Diamond Hand") brought popular love to Nikulin as an actor. However, behind his shoulders and a lot of serious paintings - "Andrei Rublev", "They fought for the Motherland", "Scarecrow".
With Lyudmila Gurchenko in the film "20 days without war" The talented clown showed himself to be a serious and profound dramatic actor. Yuri Nikulin received the title of People's Artist of the USSR and Hero of Socialist Labor. Near the circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard there is a monument to the famous clown and his partner.
After the death of Shuidin, Yuri Vladimirovich in 1982 headed the circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard (now named after Nikulin), where he worked for a total of more than 50 years.
“Each time before entering the arena, I look through the crack in the curtain at auditorium. I look at the audience, I tune in to meet her. How will we be received today? I look to see if my friends are among the spectators. I love it when friends, relatives, familiar artists come to the performances. Then, during work, I try to once again stop near them, say hello, wink, and sometimes shout something to them. It gives me pleasure.”
3. Solar clown - Oleg Popov
Oleg Popov is a Soviet clown and actor. People's Artist of the USSR (1969).
Oleg Konstantinovich Popov was born on July 31, 1930 in the village of Vyrubovo, Moscow Region. In 1944, while doing acrobatics, the young man met students of the circus school. Oleg was so carried away by the circus that he immediately entered the school, having received in 1950 the specialty "eccentric on a wire." But already in 1951 Popov made his debut as a carpet clown.
photo: 360tv.ru Known to the general public in the image of the "Solar Clown". This resilient man with a shock of blond hair wore excessively wide trousers and a plaid cap. In performances, the clown uses a variety of techniques - acrobatics, juggling, parody, tightrope walking. Special attention is given to entrees, which are realized with the help of eccentrics and buffoonery.
Among the most famous reprises of Popov, one can recall "Whistle", "Ray and" Cook ". In his most famous act, the clown tries to catch a ray of sunshine in his bag.
The artist's work was not limited to the theater alone, he starred in television a lot, participated in the children's TV show "Alarm Clock". Popov even acted in films (more than 10 films) and directed circus performances. The famous clown took part in the first tour of the Soviet circus in Western Europe. Performances there brought Popov truly worldwide fame.
photo: ruscircus.ru Popov made a huge contribution to the world formation of new principles of clowning, developed earlier by Pencil - clowning, coming from life, from everyday life, looking for fun and touching in the surrounding reality.
In 1991, Popov left Russia, for personal reasons, and also unable to accept the collapse of the great Motherland. Lived and worked in Germany, acting under the pseudonym Happy Hans.
© Ruslan Shamukov/TASS Oleg Konstantinovich Popov is a Cavalier of the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, laureate International Festival circuses in Warsaw, winner of the "Golden Clown" prize at the International Festival in Monte Carlo.

4. Konstantin Berman
photo: imgsrc.ru Konstantin Berman (1914-2000). This Soviet carpet clown appeared in the family of a circus orchestra conductor. It is not surprising that the arena constantly beckoned the boy. From childhood, he participated in pantomime, mastering other genres of circus art.
The professional career of a clown began at the age of 14, with his brother Nikolai, he staged the number "Voltigeur Acrobats". Until 1936, the couple performed together, using the images of the popular comedy film actors G. Lloyd and Charlie Chaplin.
During the war, Berman acted as part of the front-line brigades in the Bryansk-Oryol direction of the front .. He became famous for the simple reprise "Dog-Hitler". It told how a clown barking at everyone was embarrassed to call Hitler, because she might be offended. This simple reprise at the front was invariably met with friendly soldier laughter.
photo: imgsrc.ru In 1956, Berman became an Honored Artist of the RSFSR.
Konstantin Berman created the original mask of a pompous dandy, wore an absurdly dandy suit. At first he acted as a carpet mime, then switched to colloquial reprises and later performed a satire. skits and clownery on everyday topics and international topics. politicians.
A versatile circus artist, he was included in the course of the performance, becoming a participant in the numbers. How an acrobat performed somersaults through a car, how a comedian voltigeur was a participant in air flights. His first appearance in front of the audience was spectacular - he found himself in an orchestra, conducted it, then simply “stepped” into the arena from the height of the orchestra balcony to the frightened sigh of the auditorium.
As soon as Kostya Berman's jokes rang out in Moscow, he was already greeted with applause in Tehran. After a trip to Iran - again native Soviet cities. Tbilisi - Baku - Rostov-on-Don - Riga - Leningrad - Tallinn - Baku - Kazan - Ivanovo, and again Moscow.
Berman's miniatures were in the spirit of the times. They ridiculed slobs, arrogant bosses.
photo: imgsrc.ru The famous clown starred in two films, in "The Girl on the Ball" (1966), he essentially played himself, and in 1967 he took part in the film " Air flight.
5. Leonid Yengibarov
photo: sadalskij.livejournal.com Leonid Yengibarov (1935 - 1972) - circus actor, mime clown. Possessing a unique personality, Leonid Yengibarov created a unique image of a sad jester-philosopher and poet. His reprises did not set as their main goal to squeeze as much laughter out of the viewer as possible, but made him think, reflect.
Leonid Georgievich Yengibarov was born on March 15, 1935 in Moscow. From childhood he loved fairy tales and puppet show. At school, he began to box and even entered the Institute of Physical Education, but quickly realized that this was not his calling.
In 1959 he graduated from the State School of Circus Art, clownery department. While still a student, Leonid began to perform on the stage as a mime. A full-fledged debut took place in 1959 in Novosibirsk.
Already at the school, his creative individuality was clearly defined as a carpet master of pantomime. Unlike most of the clowns of that time, who entertained the audience with the help of a standard set of tricks and jokes, Yengibarov went a completely different way and for the first time began to create poetic clowning in the circus arena.
From the first performances, Yengibarov began to evoke conflicting responses from the public and colleagues in the profession. The audience, which was used to having fun in the circus, and not to think, was disappointed with such a clown. And many of his colleagues soon began to advise him to change the role of "thinking clown."
Yuri Nikulin recalled:“When I saw him for the first time at the arena, I didn’t like him. I did not understand why there was such a boom around the name of Yengibarov. And three years later, when I saw him again at the arena of the Moscow Circus, I was delighted. He mastered the pause amazingly, creating the image of a slightly sad person, and each of his reprises not only amused, amused the viewer, no, she also carried philosophical meaning. Yengibarov, without uttering a word, spoke to the audience about love and hate, about respect for a person, about the touching heart of a clown, about loneliness and vanity. And he did all this clearly, gently, unusually.
By 1961, Yengibarov traveled to many Soviet cities and had resounding success everywhere. At the same time, a trip abroad took place, to Poland, where the grateful audience also applauded the clown.
In 1964, wide international fame came to the artist. On the international competition clowns in Prague, Yengibarov received the first prize - the E. Bass Cup. It was a resounding success for the 29-year-old artist. After this victory, his novels began to be published. Filmed about a talented artist documentaries, he himself is attracted to the cinema, collaborating with Parajanov, Shukshin.
The end of the 1960s is considered the most successful period in creative career Yengibarova. He successfully toured both around the country and abroad (in Romania, Poland, Czechoslovakia). In addition to the circus, he performed with "Pantomime Evenings" on the stage, acted in films.
The famous clown at the height of his fame leaves the circus and creates his own theater. Yengibarov, together with his constant director Yuri Belov, staged the play "Clown's Whims". For 240 days of touring the country in 1971-1972, this performance was shown 210 times.
At the beginning of 1972, an incident happened to him that perfectly characterizes the attitude of the ordinary public towards him. Leonid arrived in Yerevan and went to his native circus. At that moment there was already a performance going on, and in order not to interfere, Yengibarov quietly went into the director's box and sat down in a corner. However, one of the actors found out about his presence, and soon the whole team was notified about it. Therefore, each of the artists entering the arena considered it his duty to make a welcoming gesture towards the director's box. This did not hide from the audience either, they began to whisper among themselves and more and more often look in the direction of the box. In the end, the arena inspector had no choice but to interrupt the performance and announce to the entire arena: “ Dear friends! Today, the clown Leonid Yengibarov is present at our performance!” The echo of these words under the arches of the circus did not have time to subside, as the whole hall in unison rose from their seats and burst into deafening applause.
The artist was extremely embarrassed by such attention to his person, but he could no longer do anything about it. He had to get up and walk out of the dark corner into the light. The audience continued to applaud passionately, he tried to appease them with a movement of his hands, but, of course, nothing happened to him. And then, in gratitude for such love, he came up with a pantomime on the go: opening his chest with both hands, he took out his heart from there, cut it into thousands of small pieces and threw it to the audience. It was a splendid spectacle, worthy of the talent of a fine artist.
In July of the same year, Yengibarov arrived in Moscow. That month was marked by unprecedented heat and drought. Peat bogs were burning in the suburbs, and on some days the air was such that it was impossible to see a person a few meters away. And on one of those days - July 25 - Yengibarov became ill, and he asked his mother - Antonina Andreevna - to call a doctor. Soon he arrived, diagnosed the poisoning, prescribed some medicine and left the house. Soon after his departure, the artist became even worse. The mother again had to call an ambulance. While the doctors were driving, Leonid suffered from pain and during one of the attacks he suddenly asked his mother: “Give me cold champagne, I will feel better!” Apparently, he did not know that champagne constricts blood vessels. Neither did his mother know about it. Leonid drank half a glass and soon died of a broken heart. He was only 37 years old.
The great clown died on July 25, 1972 in a hot summer from a broken heart. When L. Yengibarov was buried, heavy rain began in Moscow. It seemed as if heaven itself was mourning the loss of this fine artist. According to Yu. Nikulin, everyone entered the hall of the Central House of Artists, where a civil memorial service was held, with wet faces. And thousands came...
Yengibarov entered the history of the circus as a representative of philosophical clown pantomime.
In spite of short life, this man managed to leave a bright mark in art. Mim managed to create a new role - a sad clown, besides, Yengibarov was also a talented writer.
In Paris, having learned about the death of Leonid Yengibarov, Vladimir Vysotsky could not stop his tears, repeating:
“This cannot be… This is not true…” Vladimir Vysotsky himself (January 25, 1938 - July 25, 1980) survived Leonid Yengibarov for eight years, and left on the same day: July 25. Vysotsky dedicates the following lines to the great clown:
“... Well, he, as if sinking into the water,
Suddenly, in the light, brazenly, in two hands
Stealing melancholy from inner pockets
Our souls, dressed in jackets.
We then laughed stunned,
They clapped, crushing their palms.
He didn't do anything funny.
He took our grief upon himself."

8. Vyacheslav Polunin
Vyacheslav Polunin was born on 06/12/1950. He was often expelled from school lessons for being inattentive and constantly making the whole class laugh with his hilarious antics.
In the 2nd or 3rd grade, he first saw the film "The Kid" with Chaplin. But my mother did not let me watch it to the end: the film was on television late at night, and she turned off the TV. He cried until morning. And a few months later I was already walking in huge shoes, with a cane, Chaplin's gait around the school. And then he began to compose all sorts of things and show them. First in the yard to friends, then at regional competitions. Despite the fact that he spent part of the lessons in the schoolyard, he graduated from school and went to Leningrad with the secret hope of entering a theater institute.
Polunin was educated in the Leningrad state institute culture, and then at the pop department of GITIS.
In the 1980s, Vyacheslav created famous theater"Litsedei". He literally blew up the audience with the numbers "Asisyai", "Nizza" and "Blue Canary". The theater became very popular. The then “Litsedei”, headed by Polunin, successfully worked in the field of eccentric comic pantomime. They were invited to large joint concerts and even on television.
All free time Vyacheslav spent in libraries, where he was seriously engaged in self-education. He still spends every free moment with a book. Going to the bookstore is a ritual. Among these books there are a huge number of art albums, because painting, sculpture, architecture, design, graphics, caricature are the most important food for his imagination. And this fantasy gives birth to its own pictures on the stage, which have nothing to do with imitation and repetition.
In 1982, Polunin organized a mime parade, which brought together more than 800 pantomime artists from all over the country.
In 1985, as part of the World Gathering of Youth and Students, a festival was held, in which international clowns also took part. Since then, Polunin has organized many festivals, put on performances, numbers and reprises, trying on various masks.
Since 1988, the clown has moved abroad, where he receives worldwide fame. His "snow show" is now considered a theatrical classic. Spectators say that Polunin's snow warms their hearts.
The works of the clown were awarded the Laurence Olivier Prize in England, awards in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Barcelona. Polunin is an honorary resident of London. The Western press calls him "the best clown in the world."
Despite the "frivolous" occupation, the clown thoroughly approaches his work. Even the craziest and most adventurous show in his performance is actually carefully thought out and weighed. Polunin works hard and does not know how to relax at all, however, his life is a pleasure, on and off the stage. And most importantly - this person creates a holiday.
January 24, 2013 Vyacheslav Polunin agreed to become artistic director Big St. Petersburg state circus on the Fontanka and plans to combine the circus with opera, symphony art, painting and ballet.
“I was always happy when I made people laugh. Whoever laughs with a good laugh infects others with kindness. After such laughter, the atmosphere becomes different: we forget many of life's troubles and inconveniences. Yury Nikulin
