in that same munchausen, the detective is very dear to me, i periodically forget the name of this film, for some reason, probably, the majority of those living in the post-soviet space remember the moment where lenya is standing on a motorcycle, come on, and i don’t remember, vadik zakharchenko he sits in it all the time, he says, don’t growl, all this happens against the backdrop of the house where i was born and raised, this arch is yaovsky boulevard building 2 under the bell period, a man with a jackhammer and a woman with a gun, wait, these women with a jackhammer they stood with a hammer all over the country, i want to upset you now, you know where this scene was filmed, it was right in front of this house, what was it, no, it was filmed in smolensk, everything from and where then, well, in the film there are definitely shots of my house, this is a house, this is a house , probably , it looks like it’s the cold summer of 1953, the pokrovsky gate is behind my house, in general, all this was filmed in smolensk. everything that was connected with

the motorcycle, and there was a policeman who came up, it was the director of this picture, the wonderful director vladimir foykin, who is called his godfather in cinema, because he was the first to decide to act, to film a person with such a face in a film, and then there was zakharov, your birthday is in winter, and i want, since we have known each other for a very long time, i know that lenya, to put it mildly, does not like mass holidays, especially in your honor, so always. congratulated him either he is on the ski slope, or he is on trips with his family, i want to give you a gift, a small new year's, your birthday is in the winter, so these are the years we take tagankas, this is eduard khil, this is a little winter song from les at the edge, here in in honor of your birthday, only at the same pace at the edge of the forest, winter lived in a hut,

she salted bags with a birch tree, she twisted yarn , linens on rocks , laid ice bridges over the river, an icy ceiling, two fastened behind a shaggy wall, dipping. i think the boys wanted to hide somewhere, those who are watching us now are apparently drunk on tv, and ermulev ordered a song, but no, this is absolutely in a sober impulse, but this is honest, i want to tell you, and i will not forget more than once i had my daughter... alusenka was very small, and

lenya had a swimming pool, it was an incredibly hot summer, and lenya already had a swimming pool, he dialed it up and said: “come to me, let the child spend time,” and i hung around lenya’s house all day long, we played billiards, discussed some... then the plans, and you explain beluz correctly, it was so long ago that only i had a pool at the dacha. and even you and i had fun, but it wasn’t so long ago, some 10-15 years ago, we had a couples’ entertainer, in italy, yes, it was very funny, we made jokes there, teased our administrator, in general everything was fun, friends.

i'm glad that you are still with us on the air of the podcast melody of my life, leonid yarmolnik, who said that he was 70, some simply erroneous manifestations of age, here he is, a young, smiling villager, i interrupted you a little, there were a lot a movie, a bright episodic one, suddenly lenya makes a barracks, there was such a film, this is the first producer. our mass audience, the majority of viewers, as a comedian, always have an absolutely serious movie here, such a tribute.

picture, and most importantly, we received, before state prize , we received a silver leopard in lacarno, which is very joyful and great for our domestic cinema , i love this picture very much, it was shot by a wonderful cameraman, yuri viktorovich klimenko, valera ogorodnikov was the director, unfortunately, valerie is no longer there, in general this picture it would not have happened if anatoly grigorievich losenko had not supported this idea. and we were friends with him for many years, unfortunately, anatoly grigorievich is no longer there either, but there is his wonderful daughter maryana anatolyevna, who cured half the country during her period, zenaida yurievna is the head of the department

where my mother was lying, it’s my fault , they really saved my mother during covid, that’s why the picture of the barracks, it’s iconic, it’s something like this, it’s really a turning point... i always say that i have been for many years played such episodes or abnormal people or criminals , and these are already such roles, well , i say with pride, i will tell you myself, leonid dials me and says: valera, listen, friends, your song is needed in a movie, we desperately need a song, no money, i say, like no money, he he says, well, you won’t believe it, todorovsky and i, everything, everything is in the picture, but you’ll like the theme, boogie on the bones, that’s how it was from the beginning.

you’ll still find out, just the lyrics of such a song, even if today i’m nobody, and let them tell you that i ’m not that, but give me this day, give me this night, give me at least one chance, and you’ll understand, he’s what you need, so, lyon, it’s right about you. and by the way, i remembered, zhenya zhmargules, i once helped you in your search, in my opinion, with us, if you already remembered about the village, then for a very long time, six months, we were looking for this musical

move, it was found, i think that lenya agutin will not be offended by me, the fact is that at first it was decided that lenya would write songs and music for this...

a long time ago, when we didn’t care what drink? what to do, who to live with, time passed high, we sang blue shanghai, well then about a major and everything, this is evgenia, hello, shulimycha, dear friends, you are watching the podcast melody of my life, i am its host valery syutkin, today my guest is leonid yarmolnik. tell me, here’s an interesting moment for me: uh, initially the kvn jury, and then

tv projects are already yours, which you personally , in fact, if i’m not mistaken, the el-club, which was invented by vlad listiev, lenya yakubovich, me, and there were several other people, i remember walking around this supermarket with a cart, i typed something there, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, elclub was invented. in the gazebo at my dacha , just when we got together and it all was born, it was a program that lived on television for many years, brought me incredible popularity, well, from the point of view of recognition, and then there were many programs, i remember this is what i call greed, you were there with golden hair, it’s a gold rush, a gold rush, but this image was simply invented for you. in my

opinion, it lasted one or two seasons, we played the put of gold, the real ones and the functions of gold, but you know, and the scenery was invented by sasha borovsky, that is, it was very high quality, i must tell you that this program stopped running for us, well, the time was very similar on television, there was no time before this, but in several countries. europeans bought a patent for this program, this time, second, it is very organic, you also led the boyart, you led the boyart for many years, yes, yes, about five or six years, it was somewhat similar there, it was necessary to participate, that is, you were both an evil and a good investigator at the same time, so to speak, if it was such that you had to guess something, so these were the projects, well, there are a lot of television projects and television, of course, is in my life. is very important, and if we are talking about some kind of literal recognition of popularity,

television certainly gives this before and today, but what is surprising recently i’ve already started talking about this, but if you’re there once a week or once a month or every week you’re on air, then naturally everyone will recognize you absolutely, but as soon as you leave the air for some reason, after one and a half or two that's all for a month, that's all i already have. i didn’t personally encounter this, i watched , as it were, the biography of my friends, that it’s just the speed of time, the eventfulness is very high, and we don’t cling, we used to retell the film to each other, moments, but today there is still such a thing as the internet, and youth , young people, in the broadest sense, they went there, it just seems to me that , to put it briefly, we are... very happy people, we were hooked on my father’s albums, my mother’s handwriting, me, you know, one of the most catapulting things

recently, such simple informational occasions, for me, how to say this, an essay at school, who do you want to be, and a boy of about 12 says that i want to be my mother’s phone, my mother’s phone, a phone, because my mother loves her phone, she turns it on as soon as she wakes up, turns it off... i fall asleep, and i want to be there instead of a phone , so that she adores me, and i read somewhere like agney borto, funny poem, mom is home, mom is gone, mom went online, mom is looking on the internet, what’s new in this world, coffee he drinks, his eyes wander , what is happening in the world, mom, i’ll tell you, i happen in the world, we happened in some real world, unfortunately, now to save... i don’t know how you fight with your grandchildren, i’m not fighting, my grandchildren are actually my new life,

this is mine, i mean, that’s how you dose it, well, yes, no, they both have all these gadgets, they press buttons, naturally better than you and me, this is incredible, but there are parents who don’t let their children, say, watch tv and tinker with gadgets, but i i think it's even. because without this life today is impossible, but pay attention like this, spend more time , you are, of course, a colossal grandfather, i saw that, sasha for you... my daughter gave birth to these two handsome boys, they took up all my free time, i from the outside say so, i’m not ashamed to say that sometimes i even sort of work schedule, well, what can i change, i change it according to their schedule, so that i can see them more, spend more time with them, you said that like, who do you want to be, i remembered sasha

abdullov, in my opinion, you know this story when he was in the first grade, it was in fergana and in... in the class the teacher asked the children what you want to be, well, naturally, a pilot, an astronaut, a doctor, there ’s something else, something else, so, sashka extended his hand, he always told this himself at creative meetings, he extended his hand, yes, sasha, when, and who do you want to be, i want to be an artist, the teacher says, well, sashenka, you don’t want to be anyone, your attitude towards this profession seems to be like that, an artist, leonid ermolnik plays. the play has been going on for many years, in fact , you have such a mm - the two of you shared with different actors at different times, new year's, yes, i was at the premiere at the contemporaries, then i saw it with kolya fomenko, now you are playing wonderfully, shuvalov, yes, yes , in fact, this happens with such frequency once,

well, yes, since we have already talked about this, we must remember that the theater has finally opened stages, and now it’s there? for many years, i’m not joking now, you are happy, because you own this rare thing for most people living on our planet, you know that happiness is not there, you like to give, so little chorus, i just work as a magician, this is another reminder that my guest is an adult guy, 70 years old, and what energy, look, thank you, thank you, thank you, to

different parts, who knows where we will be tomorrow, i bring rain in the desert, i give out the sun to the good people, why buddy because he didn’t teach life from textbooks , he just works, he just works as a wizard, a wizard, and also - of course , these are the moments of our joint parties and parties, and i can’t help but say billiard, and billiard, we are united by lenya agutin, kolya rastorguev, leonid irmolik , your humble servant, we love to spend evenings playing russian billiards

, it really teaches discipline to lose, i don’t hide the fact that... there have already been such moments that were not in your favor, but i can’t help but say, i’ve always admired in leonid's house iermolnik and his charming wife oksana are always dogs, there are a lot of dogs, scotch terriers, this is such a signature, branded kidney, scotch terrier, they have probably already, well , unfortunately, left this breed now there is no plato, of course there is scotch there is absolutely this since then they were known you have whites all the time, haind little white ones, yes there was once zosya quite recently to charm unfortunately yes now instead of her now instead of her sarah sarah sarah

she is six months old and also rabbits yes yes rabbits. uh-huh, oh, of course, and you also had, what’s his name, yegorych or whatever, yes, i remember from the construction site, who stayed, yes, when the dacha was being built, the workers greeted him, so he stayed with us for 17 years, the dogs are always there, i can also note that lenya is the owner of absolutely unique cars victory, yes, you have two, two, two, one taxi, yes, one taxi car. with a metal roof, and one is a very rare convertible, of which only 14,000 were produced in the country, so it is ideal, not only because it looks like that, but right down to the wires.

years, but i can tell you that as time passes, my colleagues, my friends, can only envy me, because this is generally a separate part of my life, when we

did this, this is a quarter of my life, because 14 years, that’s of course this picture has become a classic, you are in some enviable shape in general, it was, it was, i was rocking, i was rocking twice a day, yes, well, because alexey yurievich said that... he would like me to looked like sylvester stalon, he said that, and then i and a half or i went for almost 2 years for one shot, there is one scene in the apartment, where i am without a piece of hardware, so topless. i even remember that valentinovich gaft had

a joke in his direction in the form of an epigram, and then he changed his attitude, it ’s worth a lot, because he was a very tough person, then after such large works he’s straight to you. but i always, you know, even when there was the first epigram that teased me like that, i still, probably because of my character, i say, this epigram can be considered a joke, but if gaft drew attention to you , be happy, that means you exist, well, i want to tell you as a compliment that the ease is extraordinary, we have known each other for half a century already, it will soon be, but i always dial lenin’s phone or when meeting face to face, i can note, that

you’ll never call me heavy either, you’re light, you’re in this sense, if you’re talking about this lightness, and even about flight, then you’re you, you’re generally human with a propeller in all places, yes, not without it, but this brings us very closer to you, this. well, that’s probably why i don’t have the feeling of what to wish for a person at 70 years old, being with him on the air of the main channel of the country, you know what, so that people who don’t suit you don’t approach you, so that you, so that people who are good for me , they didn’t approach me, yes, so that you would enjoy only those whom you would like to see, and let all the misfortunes, people, of which there were many, throughout your seventy-year life, they... forever remain in the past, like the misfortune of a black cat, a twist from the times of nations, once upon a time there lived a black man

the cat is around the corner and the cat was hated everywhere, but the song is not at all about how people didn’t get along with the cat, they say it’s unlucky if a black cat is on your way. only a black cat is unlucky, so let leonid be lucky, dear friends, this is the year 2024, the year in which leonid iermolnik, 70 years old, is with us, just to think, i am very pleased. was to spend this time with you all these long years, i wish you that this will last as long as possible, i can tell you that the fact

that i’m 70, i... only when you remind me, i i want to reassure the audience that i don’t care in the morning, until i looked in the mirror, i have the feeling that i’m about 30 years old, so i’ll still work, i’ll bother you, and you’re already 70, a slander, thirty years old, the flight is normal, happy birthday, thank you. greetings, this is a podcast chronicling the end of times, and i, evgeniy dodovolev, will tell you about gastronomic corruption in the soviet union, that is, about bribes with food. the fact is that now many people of my generation, both older and younger, very romanticize the soviet era, everyone has forgotten about the total

shortages and... often people are dissatisfied when they remember these rather humiliating moments when it was impossible to buy some basic things, including sweets, this shortage does not in any way level or reduce the importance of the social state, which was the soviet union, with his free medicine, with free education, with stability, and i also think that this is what is important to talk about, what i... talk about, this is always my personal experience, i just talk about what i remember, that’s what i noticed that everyone remembers the same the same things in different ways, when i was working on memoirs about perestroika journalism, i was faced with the fact that the same people remember different things differently, that is , the same people, i mean the same age, the same social group, colleagues who

worked together, and we are not talking about... let's say, there are, well, relatively speaking, selfish moments, no, some completely insignificant moments, well, like the fact that it was cloudy that day, or, someone says, no, it was sunny that day, the weather was wonderful, or there is this table, it was made of oak, not ash, well, relatively speaking, that is , some things are remembered completely differently, i want to emphasize again, i... will talk about what i i remember and how i remember. so, bribes with food, in fact, when i sat down in this chair now, i thought that i would have such a thesis that the end of times came when this phenomenon, like bribes with food, actually disappeared from my profession, only now i realized that actually no, they look a little different now, let's say, well, once upon a time there was a loaf of bread.

sausages, and my last journalistic bribe was nyotaimori, this is when sushi, or as the japanese call them sushi, is served on the naked body of a girl, this is not a waitress, this is a specially trained person, they lay out the food right from the knees and ending with the nipples, where they put the most delicious things, and i ’ll tell you about this bribe at the end, but first about my first bribe, how it was, i was working at the moskovsky komsomolets then, i headed the student youth department, and they turned to me students of one of the moscow schools who said that their teachers were accused of pedophilia, i met with this teacher, they came for the second time students with their mentor, of course there was no internet then, that is, i just had to go to this school, communicate with

the director, with the teacher, colleagues, i heard a lot of different things, as a result i made a fairly neutral essay, with the message that in general you can’t make accusations without solid evidence and grounds, that it ’s like paste from a tube, it’s impossible to work there turn back, you can slander a person, and then how to correct this reputation, in general it’s very careful, because the topic was very dark, although these are devoted students. teachers, they were ready to tear everyone apart for him, that is , most likely there was no smoke without fire, maybe he once looked at someone somehow, but in general there was nothing significant to show him, well, i wrote, i wrote, on the day the newspaper was published, i came to the editorial office, they told me, they left it for you there, on my lying on the table, in my opinion, in

the newspaper in the issue from... the publication there was this stick of servilata and a bottle of cognac, in fact it was a thank you, a gift, but they said that we congratulate you. with his first bribe, in fact, in the soviet union there was a shortage, a shortage of everything , absolutely, including food, tangerines appeared, for example, only for the new year, bananas and pineapples, some people just tried it once, twice, three times in their lives, existed such formats as trips to moscow for food, for sausage, there are entire trains there went to the provinces.

and before this, offerings were a very common format in the form of corruption. i remember one episode, this is also from my journalistic biography, when i wrote about the so-called sochi-krasnodar case, this is the case of sergei medunov, well, the investigator called it the case of sergei medunov, because he headed the krasnodar region and was one of the suspects and accused later . so there i noticed a whole series of very interesting episodes, like... a very clever georgian, he came up with this format bribes, that is, he brought a basket of offerings as if from his so-called vegetable garden, his farm, well , it was seasonal business there, there were strawberries, gooseberries, honey, churchkhela with pomegranate juice, and as if

he wasn’t somewhere somewhere... then he bought it, his wife just collected it for him, a bribe for his brother, that is , the person who accepted it, it was, well , it was easier to measure it, well, because well, it ’s not a bribe. a man was walking from home, so he grabbed it there, god, it’s not good for us, he has these raspberry bushes there or - he would have taken strawberry plantations and collected them, that is perhaps some of those whom he gave these gifts actually understood the essence of what was happening, but his conscience in a certain sense was clear, especially since this, again, was not arranged in the form of a classic bribe, that i brought you this here basket , the peculiarity of such a basket, by the way, was very... it was commensurate with the monthly salary of a soviet employee, at that stage, it was the eighties, early eighties, in the seventy-ninth year there was a very loud, so-called fishery case about

abuses, theft and corruption in the fishing industry, then in sochi the director of the ocean store, which sold seafood, was detained in sochi, and bribes also appeared there, including... caviar, all sorts of sturgeon, this was very, very common, and there were such episodes a lot, now, of course, when we know about some very large-scale corruption schemes, oh, bribes that are given there, almost islands, there are measured in billions, if we take it in rubles, then... of course these episodes funny, but i always i say that what is important here is not the volume of the bribe, the very fact that if a person accepted a melon as a gift, like yuri mikhailovich churbanov, the husband

of galina leonidovna brezhneva and the son-in-law of general secretary leonid leach brezhnev, and there they brought him this melon and he waved some kind of then the appointment document , it’s clear that it doesn’t seem to be a bribe, but in fact, legally, yes, it was exactly a bribe, because he received a gift, no matter what size, as far as i know, now, let’s say, employees receive all gifts, which cost more than 300 rubles, they must there to hand them over to some kind of storage facility, because it is considered indecent to take some kind of gift that costs more than 300, then... there were no such norms in the soviet union, but there were other norms, absolutely amazing, i remember my business trip was very long, about a month and a half, in my opinion, i went to central asia, to uzbekistan, where

i worked then -
