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 had absolutely nothing to do with 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 Soviet Army.

The satirist dad beat the future wife of the TV presenter with a ruler

The satirical writer Viktor KOKLYUSHKIN is running out of anniversary year. Last November he turned 70, but this did not affect his usual way of life. Koklyushkin did not shave his beard or write less, but he appears on television less and less often. We found out why first hand.

- Victor Mikhailovich, what is happening in your creative life now?

It has become more difficult for artists and comedians of the older generation to get on TV. But I am not going to turn into a member of the Politburo, who before last breath We were sitting on Old Square. On the other hand, it is not for nothing that the Bible says that water does not flow under a lying stone, but the one who walks will overcome the road. Now I’m finishing an ironic novel. I don’t know in what form it will come out - paper or electronic.

- Since your youth, have you decided to conquer the heights of satire and humor?

Entered military school, but they didn’t take me there. And if it had turned out the other way around, it would be impossible for him to become the Minister of Defense now and peace would reign throughout the world. Then fate brought me into humor: the artists asked me to write for them, and then I went on stage myself. In 1983, I came to Ostankino for the first time, in the “Around Laughter” program. There, next to the television center, stands the Trinity Church, where a hundred years ago my grandparents got married, met and quickly found mutual happiness.

- If I’m not mistaken, you are now married for the second time?

Yes. My first wife was Love Sapp, a girl with Estonian roots. He returned from the army and got married pretty quickly. Our daughter Elga was born. Now she is already a mother of five children and a husband. popular TV presenter and writer Vladimir Solovyov.

- Why does she have her mother’s last name, Sapp?

I didn’t want my daughter to struggle with my last name. After all, bobbins are not only what Vologda lace is knitted with. There used to be a saying: “to rattle bobbins” - which means to tell stories. So I have a professional last name, which is very appropriate. And for my daughter, who, however, composed in childhood wonderful tales, when I didn’t even go to school yet, no. She grew up and became a psychologist, a fashion model, and, as I already said, an excellent mother.

- Are you a good grandfather?

No. I spend little time with my grandchildren. They are all very different, their parents do not hold them back, so their characters immediately appear.

- What was your daughter like as a child?

One day, when she was five years old, we were alone in the apartment. She ate little, I took a thin ruler and threatened: “If you don’t eat well, I’ll hit you.” And he hit him lightly on the butt. She immediately went into another room. And suddenly, after a while, the door opens quietly, and the daughter from there timidly asks: “Is it possible to hit people on the butt with a ruler?!” For some reason I remembered this phrase for the rest of my life.

- And while studying your biography, I noticed that your current wife’s name is also Elga.

It happened that way. I have been married for thirty-five years to Elge Zlotnik. She is the owner of two higher education: technical - after graduating from MISS and humanitarian - after graduating from the film studies department of VGIK. Published in newspapers and magazines, writes books. Our son Ian is 32 years old and not yet married. Ian studied to be a graphic designer at the Moscow Art Theater School-Studio.

Gray hair in beard

- How do you and your son-in-law Vladimir Solovyov get along?

He's a good presenter. Of course, many are vying for his place: going on air all the time, waving his arms and teaching people about life - what else can you dream of? Volodya and I, to be honest, do not communicate very closely. And all because for the last six years I have been running my own column in one major newspaper. Every week I laugh at the government, MPs and other key figures. And Soloviev is on the other side. So I don’t want to inadvertently disturb him. On the other hand, a satirist differs from an oppositionist in that the latter wants the government to change, and the former wants it to work well. But not all people look at me with a smile.

There was a time when I joked about Stas Mikhailov, and paid for it. One day I was standing at a tram stop, and the woman driver saw me, looked at me furiously and rushed on without even slowing down. Her people didn’t leave, and others didn’t come in. They were simply stunned by this, and I immediately realized that she did not like what I wrote about Stas. Oh those fans. But I feel more sorry for the artists they worship. Not everyone understands that you quickly get used to success, but it passes over time. And then you see such a person with a frustrated look, who is perplexed that he used to collect stadiums, but now no one needs him.

- Yes, but many manage to make great money during this time. Is your son-in-law Soloviev a wealthy man?

Wealthy. But I don’t meddle in their lives, remembering very well that my childhood was spent on the roof with pigeons. And I was formed in a completely different society. Personally, I always had enough of everything. There were different children studying at my school. Including the son of a marshal, the daughter of a minister. But the doors of their houses were open, we went to visit each other and did not pay attention to the fact that some had six rooms and two ZIL cars, while others had nothing.

- But did you feel your moment of glory?

Thirty years ago I had my own TV show, where, for example, Lev Leshchenko With Tanya Vedeneeva sang the song “Tatiana’s Day”, and Boyarsky, while performing his hit “Red Horse,” he climbed onto the sculpture and wailed from there. Then I was criticized in many newspapers. Like, why do we need such a program? And people loved her and watched her... This year I turned 70. In connection with this, they began to call me on the screen again, but I basically refused. It’s just that there are about a hundred records of my numbers in the archives. I still look okay on them. Now I have a gray beard and a bald spot on the top of my head. And it’s more difficult to teach people about life. Although, in my opinion, we need to follow the example of animals - they know how to truly get along with each other and with humans. My cat and dog lived together and even slept in an embrace. By the way, Elga’s daughter also has several dogs. When there are small children, there must be animals at home; they teach kindness. He and Volodya big house, there is a lot to roam around, of course, all their dogs are purebred. I give my grandchildren books and games for their birthdays, and I simply congratulate my daughter and son-in-law and say warm words. They have a different standard of living and don’t need anything special. Well, God forbid.

- And yours tour life do you remember often?

Of course! What didn't happen to us there? Once, one artist almost drowned in the Amur River in the morning, after he drank at a banquet the night before and, without really sleeping, went swimming. Or another time in Vladivostok some rock band performed before me, and their spectators broke all the chairs during the concert. So because of this, riot police were called to my performance to guard the property. I said something funny from the stage, and one listener began to roar so loudly that a policeman even hit him with a baton as a precaution. Or it happened in Novosibirsk. A journalist came to my concert, wrote down my jokes, published them in the newspaper, but then honestly sent me the fee. I went to the post office to get it. I was standing in line, and an old lady sat behind me. Everyone looked at me carefully, and then declared: “Do you know that you look like Koklyushkin? We would definitely get first place in the look-alike competition.” And then she thought a little and added: “They would pay you good money for this and buy yourself something decent. Otherwise you dress like a tramp.”
