vladimir mikhailovich, this is unfortunate, but it seems to me that it is the current reality, and i would like to ask you, is this reality to the extent that you agree that it is reality, is this, from your point of view, mainly a product of prohibitions, or something more fundamental, as andronik said, the transformation of western democracies into totalitarian societies. thank you. dmitry,

my colleagues have already told me in detail, i don’t even have anything to add, i want to say very briefly about something else: today i listened to a government meeting that our the president, and there was a report by the minister of agriculture about the wonderful harvest that we will have this year, that we can sell 60 million tons of it there, and you know what i remembered, i remembered my youth, my student years, when every year in the seventies, in the early eighties we bought...

he said, let's supply them with less strategic materials, from which boeing makes its planes, which means a lot of mineral fertilizers are going to us in the same hostile spain, i think that we are on the right path, so i support colleagues in relation to culture i will say that we are going in the right direction, and president biden and many republicans, his opponents and at the same time colleagues love. says that for them the standard of attitude towards russia was president reagan. reagan really called the soviet union an evil empire, greatly increased the american military budget, forbade the plane of foreign minister gromyko to land in new york, this was after the tragedy with the korean air lime, and at the same time ronald reagan.

not try to understand it, study and accept, then he would be able to make a more informed decision, unfortunately, i don’t see anything like this in modern america, neither in the biden administration, nor even among the majority of republicans, it was a big game, we’ll meet tomorrow on air.

today , alexander maslyakov came to our studio to talk at night . hello, alexander vasilyevich. thank you for coming to us, thank you for inviting us. alexander vasilyevich, well, we ’ve been trying to invite you for a long time, but you’re busy, but today is a free evening. i’m getting ready for program, studied the file, found out that you have a lot of awards, a prize, two teffi awards, an order for services to the fatherland, other orders. 15 years ago you were awarded the title of honored artist of the russian

federation, i understand all the formality, so to speak, of this title, as well as the process that preceded it, but when... many, many years later people will study your biography, they will understand that it is recognized at the highest level that the fact that kvn is an art, i agree with this, tell me, honored artist, and if kvn is an art, what is the most important thing for you in the art of kvn? i don’t know if kvn is an art, or not an art, art, art, well, i ’m ready to believe you, well, then it’s art. what’s the most important thing in this art? the most important thing in this art is people, people, young guys who are passionate about this simple game, which has been called kv for how many years now. and if you remember ancient mythology, then each art has its own

muse, like the theater of melpamen, the dance of terpsichore, these muses are depicted with some object, there with a mask.

what's wrong they can, well, the point is, the point is not that, we were asked, we were looking for refuge and found it in the russian army theater, we, we feel cozy there, it's a little strange, maybe, in the theater room in the theater hall there are screaming, sometimes shouting groups of young people who are rooting for their team, well, and this can be considered as some kind of theatrical.

yes, they heard about it, they somehow more or less know the history of the game, but i think that, and maybe it's good that they don't know about it they think, they know that no one will threaten them for anything, no matter what they say , no matter what they want to say, well , the editors and i will correct it so that it is not, as it were, i am not talking about censorship in vain, smile, we will correct it so that it is not, so to speak, vulgar for... our, for our taste, but so, they joke, and it is great, probably, it is great that they do not have

to think about what, what i will say, is it good or bad, please tell me, do you recharge from them, yes, of course, that is, you, a vampire, i am a vampire, you know, i am so in general, in my television life i've been lucky that 90% of those television actions... to which i had some connection, this is connected with young people, and somehow i already, already, already today have to sort of correspond, but where can i get correspondence, well, from them, from those standing nearby, from those joking, having fun, well, and here i am , like, well, the game ends, the filming, and you meet, probably with...

at my age, and what is the age category for you, is it something that you need to fight or

something that you need to adapt to? no, well fight, no need to fight, in my opinion, i don't want to get off on a platitude, there is good stuff like this at any age, but i tend to share this point of view, well, i'm interested today too. at my age, just as i was interested when i was just a boy and suddenly found myself on television, so no, no, everything's fine, and what goes away with age and what comes, here's your list of losses and gains in connection with age, oh no, that's already analytics, which i'm not inclined to, but what goes away, goes away? a lot goes away, goes away, goes away, such

blind perception of reality, that 's it, that's it in youth, but well, never mind, well , well, anyway, here you're already kind of bumping into some kind of obstacle, you start, or to hurt, that in general is not a product. convinced that in youth the grass was greener and the sun shone brighter, kvn was more interesting, i'm a supporter of the fact that now the sun shines wonderfully, now in the spring the grass is green, now there is a wonderful kvn, and completely different guys who look at this grass and this sun differently with their attitude some illusions that you

abandoned, yes? there is the most, the most, perhaps, offensive illusion, you know, i once quoted in one of oleg basaashvili's programs, i think, i don't know on what occasion, a poem like this, who is not an optimist at 20? at 60 is not a misanthrope, he may be pure in soul, but he will lie in the coffin as an idiot, so i am close to misanthropy right now, i don't so - indiscriminately love the people who surround me, i,

probably, at this age... i already know the price of some things and i know that, especially in those times in which we are now living and in which we are now talking, uh, i should, i should, it doesn't mean that i can do it, i shouldn't trust everyone so much and rely on everyone indiscriminately, that they will come, help, do something, the feeling is that - it's not that no one will come, but few, few will come, help, lend a helping hand, give an opportunity, i don't know, uh, finally, with -

let's say, approximately 10 million young people who play this game in russia alone, to find some kind of - their own shelter of some kind for kvn players, and not wander around renting a wonderful theater of the russian army or something else less remarkable other sites, when the theater has its own problems, its own. well, in short, not a complete misanthrope, but close to it. and we continue our conversation at nightfall, with a man who has shown that he is not always cheerful, but always remains resourceful. with alexander vasilyevich moslyakov. alexander vasilyevich, everyone knows the kvna ritual. everyone knows that the jury consists of, well , famous or, as they used to say, noble people, and these same, that is, such famous. well, no, i like the ones from the last century, you know, noble, noble combine operators, noble tractor drivers, there are famous artists here,

they often sit in the front rows, not only in the row where the jury sits. these... i don't like something, but what caught your attention, well, from the latest, i haven't been to the theater for a long time, i haven't been invited for a long time, oh, that 's the thing, well, okay, but watch movies on dvd, i read books, so don't watch movies at all, well, i wouldn't like to offend anyone, have you seen a movie that's called that, the best movie, no, okay, this is a principled position, that is, well, you know

the content of the picture, who created the picture, i i know everything because i'm not interested in it, you're not interested in it a priori, i'm not interested a priori, explain yourself, well, you understand, it would be good for any person to try somehow not to overestimate themselves, their importance, their capabilities, when - in kvn, kvn - a team game, there is a ruler, and you are in it, your talent is such, such... such, it is in the general mass, when you decide that you can do without a ruler, you appear on the tv screen, on the movie screen, i don't know, i have a different score to settle with you, you are no longer an amateur kvn game,

you already want to convince me that i am a high professional and that any heights are for me, this is very rare, unfortunately, with the abundance of talented guys, who actually hold kvn together, there is a sea of ​​abundance. but this unprofessionalism, which i suddenly see in your solo, and not in the general kvn choir - this is a bad word, there are all like ensembles, yes ensembles, here the score is different, you understand, and i did not go to see the film not because i, like, oh, suddenly one of the guys, from the kvn players, from the young ones, with whom we at that moment they were communicating and making some program, they said that they were, i

talked to them, well, i think that this was enough to decide for myself the question, to go, not to go, to go, not to go, and did you at least watch comedy club out of the corner of your eye, i watched it out of the corner of my eye at first, well, what do you say, i was interested, well, this is already an old story, already comedy club.

is this a figment of the imagination? no, no, no, and the year, month when it was said, 31.01

2008, well, well, in general, as if in historically, ratings, in general i am to ratings i am quite skeptical about it, any new thing, especially new things with exposed faces, talented ones, it just captivates. the viewer's attention, it is necessary, then they went down the path that is not welcomed in the kvn game, but along the path of humor, below the belt, below the belt, somewhere there, and this is also great, look how desperate they are, good guys, desperate brave men. but still time goes by, no, i will not hide it, i probably flinched when the comedy club appeared, when

all the kvn players gathered there, well, not all a certain group of guys, all talented guys, of them, well, four, so i would just definitely call talented guys, very talented, but then that's all, then already...

that you to some extent filter the flow of those jokes that the participants show, well, before they go out on the stage of the army theater, well when in a certain sense yes, in a certain sense editing is editing, this is such a profession on television, we make a long program, one of the most respected professions, one of the most needed professions, i here it is, unfortunately, in my opinion, on

many channels, in many programs, it is in newspapers and many newspapers, it is currently absent, you have it, that means, but there are still editors, but there are thinkers, when i read, say, journalistic reports here or there in a live journal, about how your winter festivals are going in sochi, in my opinion, yes, when a lot of teams come, and you watch them, and there is a phrase, i'm afraid it's not... i'll quote it correctly, but it sounds something like this, but when he comes, it's you, everyone looks at his reaction, will he laugh, won't he, that is , all of them, their eyes are all fixed on you , you feel this pressure, that their fate depends on you, but you no, no, no, no, no, well, what fate, what fate, what fate, well, i played in kvn, oh my god, life

goes on, well, kvn is... one of the pleasant or bright memories of your youth, your youth: 90% of young people who went through kvn continue to work, continue to study, no one knows about them, but do they know about the 10% who earn money with this craft? unfortunately, unfortunately, yes or well, you know, well, let them earn money, but now is the time when you need to earn money, i mean, i said the word fate, i don’t understand, how, well, what fate? the fate of the team in the game, firstly, i’m not sitting, and yes, maybe i have the final say, well, for many it’s like entrance exams to a prestigious university, and that they will play in kvn, and then they will become highly paid artists, the last sochi festival in january of last year 560 teams came, 560 in the city of sochi in

january 7 came. teams to come to decide the fate that maslyakov himself must decide, stupidity, they came about kvna, they came to communicate with each other, they came to show themselves, what they are capable of, what they can write, say, play, joke, and the viewings end, they all stay together, but they still have a goal, they want to get into the halo, i think that's what halokconcerts are called,

now it's not necessary to get into... we're negotiating with channel one, well, don't you feel sorry for them, you know what a sea of ​​tears there was spilled, guys, what a sea of ​​tears were spilled, when the teams stand on stage and one of them lost, they also cry, and that you really cry, well, so what's bad, no, you have such, you have a hardened heart, and you look at this, how do you react to this, wait a second, i - if i have a team?

but they, they knew that in every game you can win, you can lose, you did everything, perhaps the impossible, to come up with something, to invent something, to rehearse, to pull yourself together, to go on stage, to catch the courage, despite these, on these, as you said, celebrities who sit in the front row, noble people, on these, on these. on these nobility who sit, they need to play, they need to show that they can joke better, that they are more energetic, that they are more driven, that everything is great, it works out, you won, it doesn't work out, you lost, the tears

will pass, if you love this game, and such examples are the overwhelming majority, you will come next year, the tears will pass, but they will not pass, one, advertising on... on the first channel, over the past 7 years 17 seizures have been committed hostages, i'll blow myself up, that's clear, unfortunately, the statistics are not encouraging, shut up everyone, from this second you're all hostages, are you crazy, wait, my name is zaitsev,

i'm asking, are you taking on this case or not? i am! stepan, what are your demands? for starters, we demand eight machine guns, can you hear me, eight, eight! uncle, please save my friends! if any of the children get hurt, our negotiations will be pointless. get ready to storm, premiere, commander on saturday on the first and for love this is the most place, i accidentally ended up in crimea during

the liberation of crimea, and then odessa happened, for me this is probably the beginning, when something switched, i was killed by a beautiful, large plane, i think that it hurts her a lot.

our television will be our viewers in large portions, and what to feed with what, then how would you characterize this product, both, if there will be more crooked mirror on the air, then in 7

years there will be a continuous crooked mirror, if there will be many jokes below humor, below the belt, then, although now they have, in my opinion, well i don’t know, i haven’t seen. as you say, we touched on it, but this is theory, but i ended up in theory purely by chance, because i’m not a theorist, i’m a practitioner, you know, intuitively, well , i wouldn’t like to offend any of today’s comedians who work in the conversational genre, who do you as a viewer like more than others, mikhail mikhailovich zhovanetsky, you once said that the ideal of happiness for you is lying on the couch and reading a book, that’s something you associated with happiness.

you work so much that rest is no longer an option for you happiness, no, well i don't work under duress, i work for my own pleasure, you understand, until now, it's still interesting for me to stand on this stage next to this now young people of today and listen about...

and you, well, sometimes something hurts, a bad mood, so how can you tune in to this wave of crazy young humor? well , i can't tune in to the wave of crazy because of my age, but thank god, after all , at this point the head also works, you understand, the tower, the tower has its own business, so to speak does, but i don't need to get myself in the right frame of mind, you won't believe it, i love them. i really love them, i really

respect these talented guys who devote their free time to this, this simple, simple idea, to play this game with each other, you can be in a bad mood, yes , i can be in a bad mood, you haven't seen me in a bad mood before filming and after filming, and you don't need to, you understand? and what's happening, well, they're here, what does my bad mood have to do with it, what do the guys have to do with it, what do they have to do with it know, what do the fans who are sitting in the hall have to do with it, well, what is this, well, i, i want to get back to my leisure time, i won’t ask about the sofa , the sofa, yes, i love the sofa, i love reading books, these are the books, oh, i’m all alone, i read everything, that’s what, i go in, i regularly go to the bookstore and steal something, what?

parents, mom and dad, both are not stupid people, both are modern young people, why is this grandfather at the root, because taya has some wonderful will make up some kind of program for their daughter, this is wrong son, you made such a program for sansanych, for sansanych, he was with us all the time, and there was probably no need for some kind of program, he just existed next to... with us and even he kind of complains that we were too protective of him, but nevertheless he existed and of course some books, my wife and i, my wife is now buying some books for tasya, she is a wife after all, and so on and

so forth, since tatya is already such a nimble and quick-witted girl, she can already recite poetry and so on and so forth, therefore and...

i mean, well, you can build your life like this, this should be, this shouldn't be, it appeared, let it live in an apartment, in a house, it's clear that it will become the owner, that this is some kind of stray thing, it won't be, if it takes root, then it will exist, but why program yourself like this, you understand, well, you can't, well, you can't schedule your whole life, well, yes... in general, everything is scheduled, quite a lot is scheduled, but you can't schedule your whole life, well, something should fall on your head, even not very good, from this, this it can't be avoided, well, of course, i'd like it not to be, but that's why i'm

not one of those people who, like, have everything laid out on a shelf, so let it be, knife on the right, fork on the left, but it can be, but in principle, you know, i'm a different person, tell me what you could hear addressed to you that could make you absolutely happy, you know, it's all connected, in general, words here, apparently, at my age don't play such a role, so they told you that you're a genius and you happy, you were told that you are good and you are happy, here some already - i don’t want to get into this, i will not get into this, this is already some internal, family, if you like, relationships in the family and, as it were, relationships

of close people, here everything is now for me this. important, well, i will figure out myself what is good, what is bad in the work that we do with the help of colleagues, with the help, so to speak, of the guys, well, i will figure it out, i already understand something in this life in this work, you understand, everything else, this is here, we had alexander maslyakov as our guest, who no longer believes in words, but continues to believe in actions, although how... i understood, it is not very much to hope that these actions will always come at the time when he expects them, i remember correctly, sanevich, a sad result, but it seems that maybe this is how it is at this very moment in which we are talking.
