How old is Alexander Maslyakov, the presenter? Alexander Maslyakov: biography, personal life, family, wife, children - photo

The other day, the head of the Satyricon Theater, People's Artist of Russia, Professor Konstantin Raikin told the broad masses about the complete censorship lawlessness in the country and that we are all “slandering, informing. And we want to go into the cage again.”

However, as it soon became clear that this whole revolution rested on the money issue, which was soon successfully resolved in negotiations with the Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky, who was also no less a professor than Raikin. It would seem that three people met peacefully - two professors and one Russian budget - they quietly frayed and closed the topic, forgetting about censorship and the cage. However, colleagues from Life, attracted by the performance of Konstantin Raikin, discovered an amazing fact during the course of the play - it turns out that since 2015, 86.5 million rubles received by the Satyricon Theater from the Russian budget smoothly flowed to the disposal of the Planet KVN center ", owned by the Maslyakov family. Moreover, as it turned out, the director of the indomitable Raikin, Anatoly Polyankin, is connected with a joint business with Angelina Maslyakova, the daughter-in-law of Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov, and other structures belonging to the Maslyakov family.

Everything seemed to fall into place - budget money through Satyricon and personal connections of director Polyankin with the Maslyakovs quite legally (for rent and other services) flowed to the Planet KVN center they owned, and there are no complaints against Raikin. But a question arises that for some reason the participants in history prefer not to remember. And how did “Planet KVN” - a gigantic building with a multimedia concert hall and other premises with a total area of ​​8.7 thousand square meters, located right next to the Third Ring of Moscow, end up in the ownership of the family of the “main KVN member of the country” Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov? And not only this building.

And the answer turned out to be simple and uncomplicated - all this golden real estate, which was previously the property of the city of Moscow, passed to the Maslyakov family, in my opinion, not without a pre-planned scheme of seizure, better known in the criminal code as fraudulent acquisition of someone else’s property by deception and abuse of trust , and, as the documents further show, as part of a group of people. But let's start from the beginning. With all the details and completely unexpected facts.

Episode one: “I invented KVN” or where 25 years disappeared.

Here is an amazing and unique document dated 1996. This is the certificate of the Russian Copyright Society number 1519 “On registration of a work - an object of intellectual property.” Let's quote:

“This is to certify that an object of intellectual property is registered with RAO - the script for a humorous game called “KVN (Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful), the author of which, according to his own statement, is Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov.

Maslyakov A.V. testifies that when creating the above-mentioned object, he did not violate the intellectual property rights of other persons.”

So that's it! That is, KVN is only 30 years old? And to what 55th anniversary is Maslyakov inviting us all?

Episode two. How to steal $35 million from the budget. Step by step instructions.

At the beginning of this investigation, the existence of the cultural center “Planet KVN” was already mentioned - a gigantic building with a multimedia concert hall and other premises with a total area of ​​8.7 thousand square meters, located at the address: Moscow, Sheremetyevskaya Street, 2. So, until the fall of 2014, this golden real estate, worth billions of rubles, belonged to the State Unitary Enterprise MMC Planet KVN, the sole founder of which was the Moscow Property Department. That is, the “Planet KVN” center, with its almost nine thousand square meters, was the municipal property of the capital.

Yes, by the way, pay attention to the fact that the General Director of the state unitary enterprise “MMC “Planet KVN” somehow mysteriously turned out to be none other than Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov himself:

Next. At the same time, there was also a limited liability company “Television Creative Association “AMIK” (abbreviated as TTO AMIK LLC). And this office was completely private, that is, it had nothing to do with government agencies. And the founders of TTO AMIK LLC were (attention!) Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov, his wife Svetlana Anatolyevna Maslyakova, and their son Alexander Alexandrovich Maslyakov is the general director. And it was to TTO AMIC LLC that the so-called intellectual property objects were transferred, which began their journey with that very first trademark, registered in 1996 by a company owned by the “author of the KVN game.”

And in the fall of 2014, real witchcraft was learned. On October 28, 2014, according to the protocol of a certain newly-minted LLC “House of KVN”, two Maslyakovs, two general directors – a son and a father – met. Namely, the General Director of TTO AMIK LLC Maslyakov Alexander Aleksandrovich (son) and the General Director of the State Unitary Enterprise "MMC Planeta KVN" Maslyakov Alexander Vasilievich (father) made the fateful decision enshrined in this protocol. They, that is, the father, who is a director in the State Unitary Enterprise, and the son, a director in a private LLC, where the same father and mother are among the founders, “decided to establish a limited liability company “House of KVN” at the address Moscow, Sheremetyevskaya, 2.”

Now attention! Quotes from Protocol No. 1 “On the creation of Dom KVN LLC”:

“SUE “MMC “Planet KVN” contributes real estate to the authorized capital of the Company in the form of a separate building with a total area of ​​8,707.1 sq.m. located at Moscow, st. Sheremetyevskaya, building 2, estimated at 1,113,561,000 rubles (one billion 113 million 561 thousand rubles). As well as equipment inside the building, estimated by an independent appraiser at 277,509,476 rubles (277 million 509 thousand 476 rubles).” And the State Unitary Enterprise "MMC "Planet KVN" receives for this as much as... 49 percent of the authorized capital of LLC "House of KVN".

And what does the private TTO AMIC LLC, owned by the Maslyakov family, contribute to the authorized capital? I quote the protocol: “TTO AMIK LLC transfers in full, as a contribution to the authorized capital of the Company, the exclusive right to the Trademark “International KVN Union” (certificate No. 345643), assessed by an independent appraiser... (attention! Author) at 1,447,848 863 rubles (one billion 447 million 863 rubles). TTO AMIC LLC receives 51 percent (fifty-one!!! Author) of the authorized capital of Dom KVN LLC.

And this happiness is signed on the part of the state (State Unitary Enterprise "MMTS Planeta KVN") by General Director Alexander Maslyakov the father, and on the part of the private LLC "TTO AMIC" by General Director Alexander Maslyakov the son. Don't believe me? See for yourself:

Now let's watch our hands. So, the state contributed to the authorized capital of Dom KVN LLC golden Moscow real estate and internal equipment, with a total value of 1,391,070,476 rubles, which at the exchange rate as of October 2014 was about 35 million US dollars. And for this, the budgetary State Enterprise is entitled to only 49 percent of the authorized capital. And the private structure of the Maslyakovs (father-mother-son) introduces the useless Trademark “International KVN Union”, valuing it at 1,447,848,863 rubles (at the exchange rate for October 2014 - more than 36 million dollars) and receives a controlling stake in at the rate of 51 percent. Here is an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities:

This is what the property transferred to the Maslyakov family enterprise looks like:

And here’s what this unknown sign No. 345643 looks like on the Rospatent website, valued, judging by the minutes of the meeting between father and son, by mysterious “independent appraisers” in October 2014 at $35 million, and which brought the Maslyakov family state property almost in the center of Moscow, which later It was also reconstructed using the same budget funds:

Well, has anyone seen this supposedly famous design miracle anywhere? My attempts to understand where this miracle sign, worth 35 million greens, is used were in vain. Fortunately, Yandex is now searching by images, but the search engine did not find anything except the image already shown above from the Rospatent website and some modified versions of the mark.

Let me remind you once again: the protocol states that the hitherto unknown picture owes 1.5 billion rubles, with reference to certain independent appraisers. It’s just a shame: this product of intelligence was introduced into the family enterprise much later than the registration of “Planet KVN”, which in itself is not a violation, but its assessment in the very amount recorded according to Maslyakov the son in the protocol was carried out only after registration of the society itself! That is, an outright scam - first they named the exact price down to the kopecks, and then only estimated it.

Let's choose the options: either Maslyakov the son is a real visionary and a genius in the field of valuation, having named in advance the exact cost of the picture or their price of “51% per picture” was completely trivially adjusted to the valuation of real state property so as to be higher by exactly 2 control percents. Well, the appraisers simply confirmed “whatever” number you want.

And pay attention to the fact that this whole amazing story took place in the form of a get-together between dad and son. And another important factor - the general director of the newly-minted LLC "House of KVN", the very one whose property was the building of "Planet KVN", became the wife of Maslyakov Jr. and, accordingly, the daughter-in-law of Maslyakov Sr. - Angelina Viktorovna Maslyakova.

And here is the agreement on the transfer of that same “KVN trademark”, valued at as much as 36 million dollars, from TTO AMIK LLC to the newly-minted KVN House LLC, signed in a family style by husband and wife - General Director Alexander Maslyakov and General Director Angelina Maslyakova :
And now let’s return to the story of the Satyricon Theater. As it became known, the theater is financed from the federal budget and for several years has been renting halls and other premises from the same LLC “House of KVN”. And as colleagues found out, from 2015 to the present, 86.5 million rubles received by the Satyricon Theater from the Russian budget smoothly flowed into Dom KVN LLC. And there would be nothing scary about this if it weren’t for the above facts that the Maslyakov family business received state property leased to Satyricon, to put it mildly, with obvious signs of deception.

That is, having become the rightful owner of the former state property that belonged to the subject of the Federation - Moscow, the Maslyakov family successfully rents out these premises, receiving tens of millions of rubles now from the federal budget allocated to the Satyricon theater. Truly a sweet child...

And maybe it makes sense for Konstantin Raikin, who is forced to talk about slander, denunciations and the cage, trying to extract additional government funding for the theater, to simply show greater care when choosing partners?

This man has been on the TV screens of the USSR and modern Russia for more than half a century. He is the absolute and indisputable authority of the most unique planet called KVN, a real factory of stars of future television celebrities.

Humor is a serious job that not everyone can handle. How did Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov survive this apocalypse?

Biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr.

According to 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, unexpectedly named the boy Alexander, born on November 24, 1941. Father, Vasily Vasilievich Maslyakov, being a rather reserved and serious person, did not interfere in this process. Alexander means Alexander. So, along with the birth of little Sasha, a new tradition appeared in the biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr. - calling boys Alexanders.

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 personality 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 at the Air Force General Staff.

Mom was a housewife and devoted all her love, warmth and care to her 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 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 just two years later, Maslyakov Sr. became a graduate of the Higher Courses for Television Workers. Thus began the career of, without a doubt, a great showman.

"Club of the 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 “Merry and Resourceful Club”.

“The Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful,” or KVN for short, appeared in 1961. The new initiative was rapidly taken up by actively developing youth 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.

As Alexander Vasilyevich himself claims, 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 did not have time to play in KVN, because at the same time the editors of central television were looking for a suitable candidate for the role of host of this program. Maslyakov was active, cheerful and charismatic from birth. And his smile is still his calling card today. So the editors' choice 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 hosted KVN in tandem with experienced TV presenter Svetlana Zhiltsova, from whom he learned a lot of knowledge and secrets of stagecraft.

Until 1970, the program was broadcast live. As usual, times were difficult in the country. The jokes heard in the program increasingly ran counter to party policy, as a result of which KVN began to be shown in recordings after strict censorship, including from the State Security Committee. Ultimately, the program was finally taken off the air in 1972.

Career

After completing his studies at the Higher Courses for Television Workers, Alexander got a job at the main editorial office of programs for youth, and after a short time took up the post of senior editor there. A few years later, Maslyakov Sr. was able to achieve the position of special correspondent, and since 1980 he devoted himself entirely to the profession of a commentator in the Experiment television studio.

Few people know, but the biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr. is also marked by the fact that the first presenter of the then new program “What? Where? When?” in 1975, none other than Alexander Maslyakov became. However, its format was subsequently changed, and the presenter was replaced by a voice-over.

Despite the fact that KVN was closed, its presenters Alexander Maslyakov and Svetlana Zhiltsova remained extremely popular and in demand. Thus, the fame of this duo includes 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 presenter of various international song festivals for youth and students, and hosted various music and entertainment programs on central television.

And again - KVN!

After 14 years, in 1986, on the initiative of the youth editors of Ostankino, it was decided to revive KVN. As a symbol of the continuity of the traditions of the “Merry and Resourceful Club”, Alexander Maslyakov and Svetlana Zhiltsova were again invited as hosts. However, due to life and business circumstances, Svetlana refused this offer. So Alexander Vasilyevich began to host 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, a comedy broadcast industry.

From a permanent presenter, manager and director, Maslyakov Sr. turned into the president of the International KVN Union, 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 have passed through the school of Maslyakov and the “Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful”, becoming real professionals and the most popular and sought-after television stars.

“Today, more than half of entertainment television is created by guys who played in KVN, by authors who wrote jokes for KVN. But every 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 strengths and understand , can you. 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 his favorite work that he calls his main happiness and success. For him, his wife and son are not just family, but also his closest friends.

Alexander Vasilyevich, as expected, met his future wife, Svetlana Anatolyevna, during the filming of KVN. He immediately liked the girl, and he began to show all sorts of signs of attention. It was impossible to resist the charisma of young Maslyakov.

In 1971 they got married. In 1980, a son was born into 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 famous writer and journalist. In 2006, Maslyakov Sr. gave birth to his 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 Vasilyevich is far from young, but constant communication with young people, careful attention to his own health, proper nutrition and moderation allow him to still remain in good shape, remain cheerful and energetic.

“I’m lucky: for more than forty years of my career, all the programs have been connected with young people. Therefore, purely psychologically, I cannot allow myself 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 Alexander Maslyakov Sr.’s wife, Svetlana, began in 1947 in post-war Moscow.

The very active girl was always the ringleader and the inventor of various pranks, which was later reflected in her high organizational abilities. After graduating from Moscow Secondary School No. 519, Svetlana entered the All-Union Correspondence Institute of Law, where she had to combine her studies with work as an assistant director of KVN in the Youth Editorial Office of Central Television. Having received her diploma, the future wife of Maslyakov Sr. successfully completed training in directing at the Higher Courses for Creative Television Workers.

In addition to romantic and family relationships, Alexander Vasilyevich and his wife Svetlana were able to carry through their entire lives serving their common cause - the “Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful.” Maslyakov Sr. hosted this TV show, and his Svetlana was its director.

There was always a lot in common between them. Both he and she are cheerful, resourceful and bright people, enthusiastic, responsible people who bring any task they start to completion.

Until the 1990s, Svetlana held the post of director of the Main Propaganda Editorial Office of Central Television, from where she later left for her husband’s company, the AMiK association.

In the Maslyakovs' house, filled with an atmosphere of harmless humor and practical jokes, you can always meet famous artists, stars and other prominent personalities.

Alexander Vasilyevich’s wife became for him not only a loved one, but also his closest friend, assistant and like-minded person.

Instead of an afterword

Two years ago, the youth television program “The Cheerful and Resourceful Club” celebrated its 55th anniversary, which was more than mature in age.

Over the years, the activities of Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov have been repeatedly awarded with many awards. He is an Honored Artist of the Russian Federation and a member of the Academy of Russian Television, as well as a laureate of such awards as Ovation and Tefi.

In the biography of Alexander Maslyakov Sr., family is inextricably linked with his creative activity. Only she can help cope with his self-created KVN empire.

You can talk for a long time about the numerous rumors and speculations that accompany the life of this person. But the fact remains that he was able to do something that no one else could do. He gave us KVN, even if he didn’t invent it.

Happiness is living 77 years the way I lived them. I cannot give universal recommendations. But old man Munchausen was partly right when he said: “Smile more often, gentlemen!..”

This is an amazing person. And we have the only one - our famous, beloved by several generations and the most smiling TV presenter - Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov Sr.

    Alexander Maslyakov was born on November 24, 1941 - 72 years old today, November 24. will be 73 years old. Alexander Maslyakov’s wife since 1971 is Svetlana Semenova, she worked as an assistant director at KVN, after graduating from Moscow school, they met, this is where their romance began, and a family was created.

    As far as I know, the famous Russian TV presenter Alexander Maslyakov Sr. was born on November 24, 1941 in the city of Sverdlovsk. Thus, in 2015 he should turn 74 years old, however, he does not look his age at all. Most likely, at present, Alexander Maslyakov Sr. is being helped to remain forever young by his very modern sense of humor, as well as by his beloved wife, Svetlana Maslyakova.

    No matter how strange it may seem, it’s true, Alexander Maslyakov will turn 73 years old!! It’s hard to believe, it’s even impossible to believe, looking at Maslyakov when he leads KVN.

    Alexander also has a son - Maslakov Jr., also Alexander. His age is 35 years old.

    Our beloved permanent television presenter Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov will turn 10 on November 24 this year. 73 years old. It’s impossible to believe it, looking at how he hosts the show Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful. Standing on your feet for 2 hours at his age is a great feat. I wish him good health for many years to come.

    Alexander Vasilyevich’s wife is his colleague, Svetlana Anatolyevna Maslyakova, the permanent director of the KVN program. Born in 1947.

    Looking at Alexander Vasilyevich, I can’t believe at all that this year he will turn 74 years old, it will happen on November 24th. Well, the permanent host of the popular comedy program looks very young.

    Looking at Alexander Maslyakov, you would never say that in a month and a half he will turn 73 years old - he looks much younger than his age. Alexander’s wife’s name is Svetlana, she works with her husband and is a KVN director.

    For as long as I can remember, the presenter at KVN was always Alexander Maslyakov, who then passed the palm to his son Alexander Alexandrovich.

    And here is Maslyakov and his wife:

    By the way, my wife works as a director of the famous KVN program.

Without exaggeration, we can say that the favorite TV presenter of millions of viewers of the Soviet Union, Russia, near and far abroad is as popular and in demand today as he was forty years ago.

Childhood, family

The biography of Alexander Maslyakov, the eldest, begins in Sverdlovsk on November 24, 1942. Sasha was born into the family of a military pilot and a housewife. The father of the future TV star, Vasily Maslyakov, was born in the suburbs of Novgorod. His life was closely connected with aviation. He fought on the fronts of the Second World War and was a military pilot and navigator. Later he served in the Air Force General Staff. Mom Zinaida Maslyakova took care of the house and raised her son.

In his youth, Alexander Maslyakov, whose biography will forever be associated with television, did not even suspect about it. In 1966 he graduated from the Institute of Transport Engineers in Moscow, and two years later he became a television and radio broadcaster after completing special courses. I didn’t play in KVN at the institute, but I took part in various student productions and had absolutely no stage fright.

At this time, the MIIT student team in KVN was gaining weight and in 1963 won the final of the TV game. The team captain offered the handsome and charming Alexander the role of presenter. He did not refuse and the next day after his first broadcast he woke up famous throughout the Soviet Union.

TV presenter career

Alexander Maslyakov was noticed on television and they began to actively invite this talented

young man to work as a presenter of various youth programs. Any program he hosted instantly became super popular. All of them today make up the golden fund of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company - “Addresses of the Young”, “Jolly Guys”, “Hello, we are looking for talents”, “Come on, girls”, etc. Alexander Maslyakov, whose biography was now inextricably linked with television, in those years he was so in demand that without his participation it was impossible to imagine a single youth program. He conducted brilliant reports from world youth festivals in Sofia, Berlin, Havana, Moscow, Pyongyang. For several years he hosted song festivals in Sochi, the program “. Song of the Year" and other entertaining youth programs.

Why Maslyakov disappeared from the screens

At the end of the seventies, Alexander Maslyakov suddenly disappeared from the screens. The biography of the famous presenter took a sharp turn. According to evil tongues, Alexander Maslyakov ended up in a colony in Rybinsk for illegal transactions with currency. In those days it was a serious crime, but after a few months Alexander Vasilyevich was freed. However, he himself categorically denies this fact in his biography.

The disappearance of Alexander Vasilyevich from television screens coincided with the unexpected closure of the KVN program. As the presenter himself explains, the program was closed without explanation. Probably someone didn't like the sharp student jokes. After all, the program was originally intended to be entertaining, but you can expect from students not only jokes about their institute life, but also caustic political remarks.

After 14 years, Alexander Vasilyevich again took over the post of KVN host. His first and only partner, Svetlana Zhiltsova, refused to return.

On the issue of age

You can often hear the question: “How old is Alexander Maslyakov, has he not changed at all over the years?” On November twenty-four, two thousand and thirteen, the popular presenter turned seventy-one years old. As Alexander Vasilyevich himself believes, communication with young people and good humor give him strength and energy.

Many famous and popular people in Russia gathered at the celebration of the seventieth anniversary, which took place behind closed doors. On this day, everyone wished the hero of the day creative longevity, and the question of how old Alexander Maslyakov was did not arise. He is always young, and his sparkling humor can be the envy of young people.

Alexander Maslyakov: biography, KVN today

Today, our beloved presenter is the permanent director and director of the most popular KVN program of the AMiK association. Today it is the main ideologist, censor, and now the main one of the International KVN Union. In addition, Alexander Vasilyevich is the chairman of the jury of another popular show - “Minute of Fame”.

Personal life

Maslyakov Alexander Vasilievich, whose biography knows ups and downs and

consists not only of one work, but for forty-two years he has been happily married to Svetlana Maslyakova, who has been the director of her favorite program for many years.

Son and successor

On April twenty-eighth, one thousand nine hundred and eighty, a boy was born into the Maslyakov family in Moscow, who was named Alexander.

The close connection of his parents with Soviet and then Russian television predetermined his fate. From an early age he was closely associated with his parents' main project. In his youth, Alexander dreamed of becoming a policeman; a career as a TV presenter was not part of his plans. Then the desire to get involved in politics appeared.

After leaving school, Alexander graduated from MGIMO, defended his dissertation, became a candidate of economic sciences, but never began his career as a diplomat. Today he is the presenter of the Premier League. Married to Angelina Marmeladova (now Maslyakova). The marriage produced a daughter, Taisiya.
