Humor is a serious job that not everyone can handle. How did Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov survive in this apocalypse?
Biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr.
According to the established 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, who was born on November 24, 1941, unexpectedly named the boy Alexander. Father, Vasily Vasi-lievich Mas-lya-kov, being a rather reserved and serious person, did not interfere in this process. Alexander means Alexander. So, along with the birth of little Sasha, in the biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr. appeared new tradition- call the boys Alexander.
The boy was born in the first months of the war in the city of Yekaterinburg, on the way to evacuation. The time was harsh, which left its mark on Sasha's character, endowing this boy with a charming sunny smile with the strength and inflexibility that later made him a person famous throughout the country.
His father served in aviation as a pilot and went through the entire Great Patriotic War, after which he continued to serve in the General Staff of the Air Force.
Mom was a housewife and devoted all her love, warmth and care to the family and raising her beloved son, who grew up very active, capable and artistic.
Education
The first diploma in the biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr. was received by him 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 now, two years later, Maslyakov Sr. became a graduate of the Higher Courses for Television Workers. Thus began the career, no doubt, of a great showman.
"Club of 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 Cheerful and Resourceful Club.
The Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful, or KVN for short, appeared in 1961. The new initiative was rapidly picked up by actively developing young people 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 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 he did not have time to play KVN, because at the same time the editors of the central television were looking for a suitable candidate for the role of the host of this program. Maslyakov was active, cheerful and charismatic from birth. And his smile is still his calling card today. So the choice of the editors 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 led KVN paired with an experienced TV presenter Svetlana Zhiltsova, from whom he adopted a lot of knowledge and secrets of stagecraft.
Until 1970, the program was broadcast live. As usual, the time in the country was not easy. The jokes that sounded in the program more and more often went against the policy of the party, as a result of which KVN began to be shown already in the recording after severe censorship, including by the State Security Committee. The show was eventually taken off the air in 1972.
Career
After completing his studies at the Higher Courses of Television Workers, Alexander got a job in the main editorial office of programs for youth, after a short time he took the post of senior editor there. A few years later, Maslyakov Sr. was able to achieve the position of a special correspondent, and since 1980 he devoted himself entirely to the profession of a commentator at the Experiment television studio.
Few people know, but the biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr. is also marked by the fact that the first host of the new program at that time, "What? Where? When?" in 1975 none other than Alexander Maslyakov became. However, its format was subsequently changed and the host was replaced by a voice-over.
Despite the fact that KVN was closed, its hosts Alexander Maslyakov and Svetlana Zhiltsova remained extremely popular and in demand. So, the fame of this duet included the famous programs of that time: “Come on, girls!”, “Come on, guys!”, “Hello! We are looking for talent! and others.
Also, for a long time, Maslyakov Sr. was the permanent host of various international song festivals for youth and students, and hosted various musical and entertainment programs on central television.
And again - KVN!
After 14 years in 1986, at the initiative of the youth editorial office of Ostankino, it was decided to revive KVN. Alexander Maslyakov and Svetlana Zhiltsova were again invited as the hosts as a symbol of the continuity of the traditions of the "Merry and Resourceful Club". However, due to life and business circumstances, Svetlana refused this offer. So Alexander Vasilyevich began to conduct this program alone.
When KVN returned to the biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr., he was able to create a real empire from this television project, one might say, the industry of humorous air.
From a permanent presenter, leader and director, Maslyakov Sr. turned into the president of the International Union of KVN, 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 went through the school of Maslyakov and the "Club of Merry and Resourceful", becoming real professionals and the most popular and sought-after stars of television.
"Today, more than half of entertainment television is created by guys who played in KVN, authors who wrote jokes for KVN. But each 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 strength and understand if you can. If yes, then go..."
Personal life
In the biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr., his wife and children occupy a special place. It is them, and even his favorite work, that he calls his main happiness and luck. His wife and son are not just relatives for him, but also his closest friends.
With his future wife, Svetlana Anatolyevna, Alexander Vasilyevich, as expected, met during the filming of KVN. He immediately liked the girl, and he began to show all kinds of signs of attention. It was impossible to resist the charisma of the young Maslyakov.
In 1971 they got married. In 1980, a son was born in the Maslyakov family, who was also named Alexander in honor of his father. Maslyakov Jr., having studied at MGIMO, joined his father's business, becoming his closest assistant and general director of the AMiK company.
Alexander Maslyakov Jr. is married to Angelina Marmeladova, a well-known writer and journalist. In 2006, Maslyakov Sr. had a granddaughter, Taisiya, who can be seen in the photo.
The biographies of the wife and children of Alexander Maslyakov Sr. are little known to the public. Photos are also quite rare. However, they are all filled with smiles and some special warmth, light and happiness.
Of course, Alexander Vasilievich is far from being young, but constant communication with young people, attentive attitude to his own health, proper nutrition and moderation allow him to still remain in good shape, maintain vigor and energy.
“I was lucky: for more than forty years of my career, all the programs are connected with young people. Therefore, purely psychologically, I cannot afford to shrink, cover myself with a blanket and lie down somewhere in the corner of the stage. I have no right to do this ... "
Beloved wife
The biography of the wife of Alexander Maslyakov Sr. Svetlana began in 1947 in post-war Moscow.
A very active girl has always been a ringleader and inventor of various pranks, which later resulted in her high organizational skills.

You can talk for a long time about the numerous rumors and conjectures that accompany the life of this person. But the fact remains - he was able to do what no one else could. He gave us KVN, even if he did not invent it.
Happiness is to live 77 years the way I lived them. I cannot give general recommendations. But old Munchausen was partly right when he said: “Smile more often, gentlemen! ..”
This amazing person. And he is the only one with us - our famous, beloved by several generations and the most smiling TV presenter - Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov Sr.
Alexander Maslyakov - TV presenter, founder of the KVN humorous program, producer. During the creation of the Club of the cheerful and resourceful, no one imagined that this game would turn into a national movement and go beyond television studios.
Maslyakov's brainchild today is a forge of qualified Russian show business personnel, an alma mater of talented artists, parodists, producers and directors.
Childhood and youth
Maslyakov Alexander Vasilyevich was born in the capital of the Urals in 1941. Father Vasily Maslyakov served as a military pilot, fought during the Great Patriotic War, and after was listed in the General Staff of the Air Force. Sasha was brought up by her mother Zinaida Alekseevna. 4 generations of the Maslyakovs were called Vasily, and only Zinaida Alekseevna decided to break this family tradition naming their son Alexander.
After leaving school, the young man entered the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers (MIIT), from which he graduated in 1966. In childhood and youth future star Russian television and did not think that he would become famous.
After graduating from the university, at first Maslyakov worked in his specialty, but later decided to retrain as a journalist. From 1969 to 1976, Maslyakov worked as a senior editor in the Main Editorial Board of Youth Programs, after that as a special correspondent.
Since 1981, Alexander Vasilievich worked as a commentator at the Experiment television studio.
KVN
Maslyakov got on television by chance, as a 4th year student. As Alexander Vasilyevich recalls, the captain of the KVN team of the institute asked him to become one of the 5 TV presenters of a humorous program, which was just filmed by the winning team last game. By chance, it turned out to be the MIIT team.
The humorous television show The Club of the Merry and Resourceful appeared in 1961. Its prototype was the program of Sergei Muratov "Evening of funny questions" in 1957, which, in turn, was copied from the Czech counterpart "Guess, guess, fortuneteller." At the evening, the questions were answered not by the teams, but by the viewers. The program was created by the first television youth editorial office in the USSR, known as the “Festival Edition of the Central Television”. On the 3rd edition of the TV show, due to an unfortunate mistake by the TV presenter, the program and the entire editorial office had to be closed.
After 4 years, the creators of the "Evening of Funny Questions" released a new humorous program called "KVN". The decoding of this name was twofold: in addition to the traditional meaning of the Club of cheerful and resourceful, the name hinted at the TV brand - KVN-49, which was produced in those years.
The first host of the game was Albert Axelrod. After 3 years, he was replaced by Alexander Maslyakov. In his youth, Maslyakov did not broadcast alone, he was assisted by the Soviet announcer Svetlana Zhiltsova. Subsequently, the man became the sole TV presenter, which he remains to this day.
For the first 7 years, KVN aired exclusively live. But later, since the jokes of the teams sometimes related to Soviet ideology and reality, the releases began to be broadcast in recordings, after cutting out from them all the moments that were objectionable to the party leadership.
The then head of Central Television, Sergei Lapin, did not like the club for its unpredictability and courage, so the State Security Committee began to closely censor the program. The KGB directives were sometimes simply absurd: for example, the participants in the program were forbidden to wear beards, as this was seen as a mockery of. And at the end of 1971, KVN was completely closed.
The creative biography of Alexander Maslyakov at one time gave rise to many assumptions. So, the most common rumor was that at the same time as the closure of KVN in 1971, Maslyakov was in prison for currency fraud for several months. The TV presenter himself refuses to comment on this fact, arguing that with a criminal record he would no longer be allowed on Soviet television.
The break after the closure of KVN lasted 15 years. But at the beginning of perestroika, in 1986, at the initiative of the captain of the MISI team of the 60s, Andrei Menshikov, KVN again appeared on the screens. Alexander Maslyakov remained the TV presenter.
In just a few releases, the program has gained the same popularity as in the 60s. A movement of the game arose, humorous competitions were held in schools, institutes and children's health camps. The geography of the Club of the cheerful and resourceful has noticeably expanded: they began to play in KVN Western Europe and America, in 1992 the first international game between the CIS countries and Israel was held in Moscow, in which a world championship was held 2 years later, where teams from the CIS, Israel, Germany and even the USA participated.
In 1990, Alexander Maslyakov founded the creative association "Alexander Maslyakov and Company" (abbreviated as "AMiK"). This company became the official organizer of the KVN games, as well as a number of related programs (“First League”, “Outside the Game”, “Voicing KiViN”, “Sense of Humor”, etc.). Alexander Vasilyevich is the host and head of a number of programs produced by the AMiK company.
In 2013, the only son of Alexander Maslyakov Sr. became the General Director of TTO AMiK LLC, replacing Naum Iosifovich Barulya, who previously held the post of director of the KVN television program.
Unlike Soviet years, when KVN went against the policy of the party, today the program is aired on Channel One and does not allow attacks on the current government. Moreover, in 2012, the host of KVN was a member of the "People's Headquarters" of the presidential candidate.
Putin himself, it must be said, does not remain in debt and has already visited the anniversary games of the Club of the cheerful and resourceful several times in the status of prime minister and president. The last time this happened was in the fall of 2016, when the Club was celebrating another anniversary in the Kremlin Palace - 55 years of the game. In the summer of the same year, AMiK filed documents with Federal Service on intellectual property with a request to register trademark"Alexander Maslyakov".
At the end of 2016, not only KVN celebrated its anniversary. Its permanent leader turned 75 years old. In this regard, several heads of the Caucasian republics that are part of the Russian Federation conferred honorary titles on Maslyakov. So, Alexander Vasilyevich became people's artist Chechnya and received the Order of Merit for the Republic of Dagestan. The man also received a medal "For Strengthening the Combat Commonwealth" from the Russian Ministry of Defense.
Today, the structure of KVN includes a number of divisions: 4 television leagues, 8 central, 10 inter-regional and 49 regional leagues. The Club has an official website, a YouTube channel, and also has a profile on Instagram. Here are photos of KVN participants, short humorous miniatures of different years.

Biography of Alexander Maslyakov. Conviction and prison
The now popular presenter was born in the midst of the war, namely in 1941 in Sverdlovsk, which was later renamed Yekaterinburg. The boy's father, who was a military pilot, went on duty to defend his homeland. After the end of hostilities, his father continued his career and already worked as a pilot in the General Staff. And Sasha's mother was a housewife. She devoted her whole life to caring for the house and raising her son. Since Sasha was the only child in the family, all the love of his parents went only to him, but despite this, the guy did not grow up as an egoist and tried to raise his son in the necessary male traditions.
As soon as the training was over, the guy immediately went to work as an engineer. But after completing the courses, he decided to connect his life with journalism and already in 1969 he became the senior editor of the youth program. Then for 6 years he worked as a correspondent. A little later, he changed his activity to a commentator.
In 1990, Maslyakov independently created the creative association AMiK. Initially, he was listed as the chief director there, and after 8 years he took over as president.
While studying at the institute, the guy often took part in local KVN competitions and not bad enough. And after one of the competitions, the guy and 4 more finalists were invited as leaders to the just-starting project of the club, cheerful and resourceful, he agreed, not knowing what he was doing.
After the first program, they noticed the potential in Sasha and invited him to the role of a permanent host. This lasted until 1972, and then the program was closed for a while.
And already being the president of AMiK, Maslyakov again launched the popular KVN program and independently thought out all the tournaments and the plot in general.
More than once, Maslyakov's work was recognized as successful and awards were presented to him. And when the KVN program turned 45, Maslyakov was awarded a lot of awards, so television showed how important Maslyakov's contribution was.
