An excerpt characterizing Koklyushkin, Viktor Mikhailovich

This task is possible only when we stop arbitrarily substituting instead of the value of the entire unknown X those conditions under which force is manifested, such as: orders of the commander, weapons, etc., taking them as the value of the multiplier, and recognize this unknown in all its integrity, that is, as a greater or lesser desire to fight and expose oneself to danger. Then only, expressing the known equations historical facts, from a comparison of the relative value of this unknown one can hope to determine the unknown itself.
Ten people, battalions or divisions, fighting with fifteen people, battalions or divisions, defeated fifteen, that is, they killed and captured everyone without a trace and themselves lost four; therefore, four were destroyed on one side and fifteen on the other. Therefore four was equal to fifteen, and therefore 4a:=15y. Therefore, w: g/==15:4. This equation does not give the value of the unknown, but it does give the relationship between two unknowns. And by subsuming various historical units (battles, campaigns, periods of war) under such equations, we obtain series of numbers in which laws must exist and can be discovered.
The tactical rule that one must act in masses when advancing and separately when retreating unconsciously confirms only the truth that the strength of an army depends on its spirit. In order to lead people under the cannonballs, more discipline is needed, which can only be achieved by moving in masses, than in order to fight off attackers. But this rule, which loses sight of the spirit of the army, constantly turns out to be incorrect and is especially strikingly contrary to reality where there is a strong rise or decline in the spirit of the army - in all people's wars.
The French, retreating in 1812, although they should have defended themselves separately, according to tactics, huddled together, because the spirit of the army had fallen so low that only the mass held the army together. The Russians, on the contrary, according to tactics, should attack en masse, but in reality they are fragmented, because the spirit is so high that individuals strike without the orders of the French and do not need coercion in order to expose themselves to labor and danger.

The so-called partisan war began with the enemy’s entry into Smolensk.
Before guerrilla warfare was officially accepted by our government, thousands of people of the enemy army - backward marauders, foragers - were exterminated by the Cossacks and peasants, who beat these people as unconsciously as dogs unconsciously kill a runaway rabid dog. Denis Davydov, with his Russian instinct, was the first to understand the meaning of that terrible club, which, without asking the rules of military art, destroyed the French, and the glory of the first step to legitimize this method of war belongs to him.
On August 24th the first partisan detachment Davydov, and after his detachment others began to be established. The further the campaign progressed, the more the number of these detachments increased.
The partisans destroyed the Great Army piece by piece. They picked up those fallen leaves that fell of their own accord from the withered tree - the French army, and sometimes shook this tree. In October, while the French were fleeing to Smolensk, there were hundreds of these parties of various sizes and characters. There were parties that adopted all the techniques of the army, with infantry, artillery, headquarters, and the comforts of life; there were only Cossacks and cavalry; there were small ones, prefabricated ones, on foot and on horseback, there were peasant and landowner ones, unknown to anyone. There was a sexton as the head of the party, who took several hundred prisoners a month. There was the elder Vasilisa, who killed hundreds of French.

Viktor Koklyushkin was born on November 27, 1945 in Moscow. His parents were simple workers, and the boy himself, at the age of fourteen, got a job at a factory as a mechanic, and in the evenings he attended a school for working youth.

At the age of twenty-three, Koklyushkin was assigned to write his column in Literaturnaya Gazeta. Soon, articles by a promising author entitled “The Twelve Chairs Club” began to be especially popular among readers. A few years later, Victor’s monologues were first performed on stage by pop artist Evgeniy Kravinsky.

Lyrics young author gained some popularity among performers, they brought success and were liked by the public. His best monologues entered the repertoire of Klara Novikova, Evgeny Petrosyan, Vladimir Vinokur, Efim Shifrin, but the author himself remained behind the scenes for a long time.

Only at the age of 38 did Viktor Koklyushkin decide to public speaking with your own story. This happened on the air of the “Around Laughter” program. The author with a nasal voice immediately fell in love with the audience, and his jokes quickly became popular among the people.

Real triumph came to the satirist after Yefim Shifrin performed the monologue “Hello, Lucy!”, which became one of the most popular performances of the pop artist. As the author himself claims, he takes all his stories from life observations, and this is the reason for their popularity among the people.

Over the entire period of his creative biography, Viktor Mikhailovich wrote more than ten books, among which the most popular were “Hello, Lyusya, it’s me!”, “Killer Reprise” and “Wait, who’s coming?!”.

But here's what he was like in everyday life, in contrast to his image at performances, almost only a few people know, and we will try to correct this today.

Childhood and early career

Born in 1945, the then young satirist grew up in the capital of our country, Moscow. No one can work famous writer started from an early age, however, this was not at all relevant to his work known today. Young Koklyushkin did not even plan to put pen to paper. Fate forced him to go to a factory at 14, but he did not give up his studies, continuing to receive his education at a special school for working youth. After graduating from school, the satirist did not go to study to become a writer and did not start anything related to this activity. On the contrary, he went to repay his debt to his Motherland and gain the richest experience for future jokes and reflections by joining the ranks of the Soviet Army. After returning to his normal life, Koklyushkin again began to combine work and study in order to make ends meet.

The first steps on the path to fame

The same year was marked by the performance of one of the most famous monologues throughout the world, “Hello, Lucy,” but this time the performer was Efim Shifrin.

Koklyushkin’s monologues became jokes that were told from mouth to mouth, and phrases managed to acquire the status of “winged”.

World recognition and fame
