Life and family of Alexander Maslyakov Jr.

The life of Alexander Maslyakov Jr. and KVN cannot be separated from each other - he grew up, achieved success and became famous thanks to the “Merry and Resourceful Club”. In the following material we will talk about the main milestones in the biography of the artist and presenter, his family and wife.

Biography of a famous TV presenter

Alexander Alexandrovich comes from the capital of the Russian Federation, was born on April 28, 1980. Both of his parents worked in the field of Soviet television. Father is the permanent host of the KVN program Alexander Maslyakov Sr. Mother - Svetlana was engaged in television directing, helped in the filming and broadcast of KVN.

It was creative family united by one thing. The father initiated his son into all the intricacies of the show, Maslyakov Jr., from childhood, appeared at team rehearsals, saw and remembered how it was done. Naturally, the atmosphere of laughter and friendliness attracted the boy. And living in such a mood influenced the choice of the future. Of course, not right away: at first he wanted to work in the traffic police, but having matured a little, he wanted to get involved in politics.

After receiving his school certificate, Alexander tried to find his way: he entered MGIMO and studied at the Faculty of International Relations.

In 1999, he managed to play the role of presenter on the “Planet of KVN” project - then the general public became acquainted with Maslyakov Jr. The public immediately considered the son of the eminent TV presenter to be the future successor.

Gradually, the young man realized that he was really attracted to the life of KVN. He successfully graduated from the university in 2002, and a year later became the head of the Premier League of the Cheerful and Resourceful Club. By participating in this project, Alexander not only gained great experience, but also contributed to the emergence of a new generation of comedians. Under his leadership appeared on the stage bright stars humor, known throughout the country and beyond.

In parallel with this, the man became a candidate of economic sciences in 2006, defending his dissertation at the State University of Management.

With the participation of Alexander and his father, new projects were launched: “First League of KVN”, “Outside the Game”, etc. In all these shows, Maslyakov Jr. was the host. He made occasional appearances at regional games.

Alexander Maslyakov with his wife

Sometimes KVN participants joke about him, calling him Alexander II, although the man himself does not like being compared to his father. He also prefers not to talk about the time when he will be forced to completely replace Maslyakov Sr. in his work.

In 2013, the man tried himself as a participant in KVN in 2013, when he surprised everyone by appearing on stage. It was a STEM competition, where Alexander acted as a guest star. Interesting speech only increased his reputation among his colleagues and love in the eyes of the public. KVN members call Maslyakov Jr. omnipresent for his mobility and ability to appear in competitions in different guises.

Now he continues to work in the “Merry and Resourceful Club”, continuing family tradition. Friends believe that he will soon completely replace his father in work, giving him the opportunity to relax and enjoy the spectacle from the stands.

Who is Maslyakov Jr.'s wife?

Maslyakov Jr. is a happy father

MGIMO, even though it did not lead Alexander to work in politics, helped him find his love and future wife. Angelina Marmeladova, a diligent student, helped him prepare for the exams. After some time, a spark of feeling slipped between them, and a romance began.

The relationship lasted about 5 years, the young people found in each other what they had been looking for for a long time: the ability to be themselves, to feel free in each other’s presence. Although, according to Alexander and Angelina, they are completely different people, and these differences strengthen the marriage even more. A truly complementary pair was formed.

Now that they have been together for a long time, the spouses continue to be mentally close, do business and achieve success. His wife Angelina is a successful writer, author of 3 novels.

In 2006, there was a replenishment - daughter Taisiya was born. Now she is growing up and is already showing Creative skills while studying in theater studio Moscow.

Alexander Maslyakov Jr., although he tried to find himself in something of his own, realized that connection with family and a common cause gives much more. He was able to realize himself, find recognition in his work, love in his family and happiness in life. We wish him continuation of this harmony and new achievements in life.

The other day, the head of the Satyricon Theater, National artist 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 during the course of the play amazing fact- it turns out that since 2015, 86.5 million rubles received by the Satyricon Theater from the Russian budget smoothly flowed into 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 directors Polyankin and the Maslyakovs quite legally (for rent and other services) sailed 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 is it possible that “Planet KVN” is 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, turned out to be owned by the family of the “main cavalry officer 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:

“Hereby certifies 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 him own statement, is Maslyakov Alexander Vasilievich.

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 instruction.

At the beginning of this investigation it was already mentioned the existence cultural center“Planet KVN” is 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 Planeta 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, please note that the General Director of the state unitary enterprise "MMC "Planet KVN" mysteriously turned out to be none other than Alexander Vasilievich Maslyakov himself:

Further. 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 AMIC LLC were (attention!) Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov, his wife Svetlana Anatolyevna Maslyakova, and general director their son Alexander Alexandrovich Maslyakov works. And it was to TTO AMIC LLC that the so-called intellectual property objects were transferred, which began their journey from 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-father, and on the part of the private LLC "TTO AMIK" by General Director Alexander Maslyakov-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 is 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 more by exactly 2 control percentages. Well, the appraisers simply confirmed “whatever” number you want.

And notice that all this amazing story took place in the form of a get-together between father 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 very “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 clear signs 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?

To 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 have smoothly leaked at 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 owned by the Maslyakov family.

I read this amazing story and felt some understatement, dissatisfaction, so to speak. 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 either. But I have a question 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 through 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

Before us is an amazing and unique document dated 1996. This is a 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.
According to the above-mentioned author, all rights to this intellectual property object, created in 1986, belong exclusively to the above-mentioned person.
Maslyakov A.V. testifies that when creating the above-mentioned object, he did not violate the intellectual property rights of other persons.”

Judging by the above official document number 1519, the “Merry and Resourceful Club” was invented and created personally by Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov in 1986, that is, twenty-five years after the official premiere of KVN on Soviet television on November 8, 1961. It turns out that this year the legendary TV show is not 55 years old, as the same advertisement on the KVN Planet website claims, but only 30 years old. Well, from the moment “Maslyakov invented and created KVN in 1986.” According to his own statement.

That is, the 11 years of television disappeared somewhere (from 1961 to 1972) and the 14 years that followed after the closure of the state television and radio until 1986, from all institutes, school sites, factories, factories, courtyards, ships! But the country actually played KVN for these 25 years. It must be said that Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov had nothing to do with the creation and promotion of which, and, as it turns out, “according to his own statement,” he did not know. Well, if he did know, then it turns out that he deliberately misled him about his role and his status, calling himself since 1986 the creator of this national product. Well, if we remember that he was still the host of the allied game, the second looks more convincing.

Let me remind you that KVN in the form in which it has survived to this day was launched on the air in November 1961, and Alexander Maslyakov first appeared as a co-host only three years later, in 1964, while still a student at the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers.

But plagiarism itself would not be interesting if it were not for the subsequent story, which led us to the present day and the very building with the help of which the Maslyakov-Polyankin duo successfully utilizes federal funds, as colleagues from Life wrote about. A year or so after registration with RAO, we lost the fact that “KVN was invented by Maslyakov in 1986,” in January 1998, a certain CJSC “TTO AMIK” registered the trademark “KVN. Club of cheerful and resourceful people” as the main sign of KVN.

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

At the beginning of this investigation, I already mentioned the existence of the cultural center “Planet KVN” - 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 Planeta 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.

Further. 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.

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...

And this happiness is signed on the part of the state (State Unitary Enterprise "MMTS Planeta KVN") by General Director Alexander Maslyakov-father, and on the part of the private LLC "TTO AMIK" by General Director Alexander Maslyakov-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 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 wife of Maslyakov Jr. and, accordingly, the daughter-in-law of Maslyakov Sr., Angelina Viktorovna Maslyakova, became the general director of the newly-minted LLC “House of KVN”, the one who owned the building of “Planet KVN”.

And here is the agreement on the transfer of that very “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 :

Bravo! Everyone is here! Even Ostap Bender, in his best years, would not have thought of this.

Episode three. "Satyricon" and "KVN". And now from the federal budget!

So, we found out in what surprisingly simple and elegant way the Maslyakov family (Dom KVN LLC) managed to obtain ownership of multi-million dollar (in dollars) Moscow real estate in exchange for color picture with a globe and the inscription: “International KVN Union.” Very reminiscent of how the first white settlers in North America They exchanged tons of gold and rich lands from the Indians for beads and fire water.

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?

Alexander Maslyakov (senior) is a famous domestic TV presenter, permanent host of the humorous TV show KVN (since 1964).

The beginning of life and meeting with KVN

Maslyakov Alexander Vasilyevich was born on November 24, 1941 in Sverdlovsk (Ekaterinburg) in the family of a military pilot. His father Vasily Vasilyevich went through the entire war, and his mother Zinaida Alekseevna was a housewife and raised her son. Having spent a fair amount of time in garrisons, the parents settled in Moscow, where in 1960 the guy entered MITI, planning to become a railway engineer.

He was lucky to be a student during the Khrushchev Thaw. At that time, KVN, the only youth entertainment program, was incredibly popular. By the way, the well-known abbreviation KVN was born in communal apartment one of the founders of the idea, Mikhail Muratov. His neighbor was Vladimir Vysotsky, who was interested in the “kitchen battles” of creative guys. It was he who suggested calling the program the Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful.

Maslyakov was a fanatical fan of his native MITI team. In 1964, KVN host Albert Axelrod was forced to leave, but recommended that the director appoint the smiling and charming Sasha Maslyakov in his place. Together with Svetlana Zhiltsova, they hosted the program until its closure in 1971. Interesting name then Alexander had the position: he was called “commentator youth program" Maslyakov received his specialized education at the Higher Courses for Television Workers a little later, in 1968.

After the closure of KVN, Maslyakov disappeared from the screens. This gave rise to constant rumors that he was given a sentence either for a criminal or for a political crime. In fact, Alexander Vasilyevich was then looking for something to do after 10 years of active creativity.

In KVN, he was no longer only the presenter, but also the editor of the issues and the “punching force”, because the obstacles of the artistic councils had to be overcome sometimes with superhuman efforts.

“I was constantly a “tester””

It must be said that organization and management entertainment programs in the USSR it was an unknown matter. None of those true pioneers of the genre had any experience or mentors. And Maslyakov was very often a pioneer or, as he himself liked to say, a “tester” of television projects - now he would simply be called a “showman.”

Alexander Maslyakov in the program “Come on, girls!”

Appeared on television in the early 70s new program youth edition of Ostankino entitled “Come on, girls!” In parallel with it, the “Virage” project was organized in the format of a competition or relay race between men’s teams. The program “Hello, we are looking for talents” was the prototype of the modern “Star Factory”. Entertainment programs that Soviet television did not spoil the audience; due to their originality, they were overwhelmingly popular. The whole country knew Maslyakov by sight, so every new program with his participation was simply “doomed” to success. For example, the organizer of “What? Where? When?" Vladimir Voroshilov invited Maslyakova to conduct the first broadcast. He was also the host of the first issue of the scandalous “Vzglyad”. It was only later that new generations came - from Vlad Listyev to Sergei Bodrov. Later, in 1989, together with Leonid Yakubovich, Alexander Maslyakov even hosted the first Miss USSR beauty contest.

Revival of KVN

In 1985, perestroika began in the USSR, which significantly weakened censorship and removed many ideological prohibitions. Already a seasoned television worker, Maslyakov initiated the revival of his favorite humorous program in the same format - competition student teams. Since 1986, a new report began in the life of the longest-playing television project, as well as in the biography of its leader and permanent artistic director. Alexander Vasilyevich prefers this particular formulation, avoiding the word “producer”, although, in fact, he is also involved in producing.

Broadcasting is visible part process, the rest of Maslyakov’s work remains behind the scenes. In the late 80s, Alexander created the creative association “Amik”, which began to engage not only in holding KVN games, but also in the festival movement.
