Acting
KVN is a Russian humour TV show and competition where teams compete by giving funny answers to questions and showing prepared sketches. The programme was first aired by the First Soviet Channel on November 8, 1961. Eleven years later, in 1972, when few programmes were being broadcast live, Soviet censors found the students' impromptu jokes offensive and anti-Soviet and banned KVN. The show was revived fourteen years later during the Perestroika era in 1986, with Alexander Maslyakov as its host. It is one of the longest-running TV programmes on Russian Television. It also has its own holiday on November 8, the birthday of the game, which KVN players celebrate every year since it was announced and widely celebrated for the first time in 2001.
No description available.
Representatives of the Russian nobility gathered at the dacha. A young nobleman Vlas, in love with the mistress of the estate, a simpering poetess, a writer who has long stopped writing, a frivolous wife, her lover and a jealous husband. Their lives are measured and unhurried. They talk about nothing, get bored and quarrel, flirt and have fun… But even passionate romances, which are now and then tied up here, usually end at the same time as the holiday season...
