Team MAI’s recent performance in KVN, which aired on Channel One and then went viral on the internet, suggests that satire and cutting humor are possible on federal television. About this in the Russian media program “Chronicles of the New World” said former captain of the RUDN team, and now State Duma deputy Sangadzhi Tarbaev. He also admitted that today he himself participated in the writing of the AMI speech and then did not receive any “call from above”.
Previously on social media broadcast a video with the performance of the KVN team “MAI Team”, which was broadcast on Channel One. In it, the members of the team spoke about the “struggle with journalists”, the need to “truly orthodoxize science”, mentioned the film “Cheburashka”, which brought in more than 7 billion rubles at the box office, and also ridiculed the relationship between Russia and Belarus. All members of the jury, including Vadim Galygin, Dmitry Khrustalev, Valdis Pelsh and Yana Churikova, rated MAI’s performance five points out of five. The only exception was Dmitry Dyuzhev, who gave the team four points. In a conversation with the publication Rise, the team’s producer, Artur Tumanyan, said that the team’s jokes were released by the show’s organizers.
“I am involved in all of this. I saw it all, went through it myself and edited it. This crew you’re talking about, I basically took them out on stage with these jokes, and other crews that perform there as well. Therefore, for me it was an experience, and this experience was a success, there were no calls from above, knocks from below or explanatory conversations,” Sangadzhi said. Tarbayev.
According to the former kvnshchik, the MAI team’s performance is “confirmation that satire and sharp humor on Channel One is ignored, so to speak, and it can be done.” However, he added, it needs to be approached “not just in a naughty way, but in a talented, humorous, fun and creative way”.
“It seems to me that we have already muzzled each other a little and twisted a little, so much so that it seems to us that we cannot say a word at all … Come to KVN, look – there is none no jokes, ”Tarbaev assured. For example, the deputy (who is a member of the New People faction) admitted that recently a team told a joke about United Russia, which no one cut and which remained on the screen. ‘antenna.
“A team recently came out and said, ‘I don’t understand why in our country United and Just Russia are different parties. And it was on the air, you know, it’s all there. So what do I want to focus on? If such satire and such courage are already welcome on Channel One, then it’s probably some kind of change in terms of the general perception of how to consume information, ”he concluded.
