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.

Happy birthday!

Viktor Mikhailovich Koklyushkin (born November 27, 1945, Moscow) - Soviet and Russian writer- satirist and TV presenter.

The famous Russian satirist Viktor Koklyushkin is known to viewers for his topical monologues “Democracy”, “Rehearsal” and “Fool”, which he performs with his unique in a nasal voice, which has become a kind business card humorist. However, much less is known about the personality of the comedian himself than about his work.

My labor activity he started quite early, but it had nothing to do with creativity, because young Koklyushkin had no desire to become a writer and become famous. At the age of 15, he went to work in a factory, while continuing to study at a school for working youth. After graduating from school, Viktor Koklyushkin paid his debt to the Motherland in the ranks Soviet Army, and then work again, and study again, only now it was a publishing and printing college and the Higher Theater Courses of GITIS.

On the way to fame, Koklyushkin changed countless professions: mechanic, proofreader, editor, commandant at the city military registration and enlistment office, army sergeant-major. The comedian remembers his work at the factory and military service with warmth, and considers those distant years to be almost the best in his life. And yet, we know Viktor Koklyushkin precisely as a talented satirist writer.

In the late 60s, Koklyushkin, as he himself assures, completely accidentally ended up on the last page of the Literary Gazette.

In the same year, Efim Shifrin first performed the now incredibly famous monologue “Hello, Lyusya!” After him, Koklyushkin’s appearance on the silver screen became quite regular, and not a single humorous concert was complete without a satirist.

Viktor Koklyushkin doesn’t have to go far to find material for his monologues. Throughout his life he observed different stages of development Russian state: both developing socialism, and the gradual transition to capitalism, and modern democracy. Many of his monologues are an assessment of the events that took place, a view from the inside of a person who can not only observe, but also analyze. However, over time, numerous miniatures can form a completely complete work. Today Koklyushkin boasts a good bibliography, numbering more than a dozen books.

But everything worked out. “After that, I realized that if you joke, you need to think about how it will be perceived,” the satirist admitted.

Tried to enroll in military school, but he was not accepted there. He joked about this: “And if it had turned out the other way around, it would have been impossible to become the Minister of Defense now and peace would have reigned all over the world.

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

Our hero first appeared in the newspapers, as he says himself, by an absurd accident, being published in the last page of Literator. There he was given the authorship of the then popular page “Twelve Chairs”. However, these were only echoes of impending success. A real boom occurred when the satirist finally managed to appear on the stage. In 1972, the stories written by our hero were voiced by Evgeny Kravinsky, who performed them at big stage. After which the monologues created by Koklyushkin became quite popular, since they were voiced by young artists. For many years his words were heard from the lips of Klara Novikova, and even Petrosyan, but Victor himself appeared on television only in 1983. This happened thanks to the TV show “Surrounded by Laughter,” where Victor Koklyushkin’s story was first voiced by himself. 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. It was from that time that our main character begins to appear on the TV screen constantly, almost the whole country is talking about him, and any comedy concert is not complete without his participation. 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

Since Victor performed for many years, and his monologues and stories were really liked by an audience of thousands, he managed to receive the nickname “Russian Carlin” from foreign admirers of his work, although most of his satire was much softer than that of the above-mentioned comedian George Denis Patrick Carlin. During his career, Koklyushkin managed to accumulate large number various awards, one of the most prestigious among them was the prize of the All-Union Comedian Competition, awarded to the satirist in 1972.
