“My turtle, my rock climber”: Vysotsky quarreled with Khazanov because of a parody

He’s great there. Lived the scene like his own apartment, walks around it like a master. This is important: the stage fits him, he is his own for her, acting. In the movie “Italian Marriage” this is the role of Marcello Mastroianni. Khazanov, of course, is not Mastroianni, he is different. But also a typical Italian uncle with all his twists and turns and incredible neo-realistic love of love. In general, Khazanov is as good as ever in the theater.

Why about him? So after all, he is Raikin’s deputy on Earth, and this sounds proud. I remember the 70th anniversary of Arkady Isaakovich. Raikin is sitting in the front row, and young Khazanov leans towards him from the stage, giving him a huge bouquet. In response, a baton could be given: and now you.

Raikin Khazanov idolized since childhood. And Raikin, leaving (to see America and die, so it happened to him), tacitly blessed Khazanov as crown prince. Everyone understood this. Farewell, king. Vivat, king!

Of course, Khazanov is not Raikin, it is ridiculous even to compare. But Gennady Viktorovich wears this Monomakh hat with dignity. Now he is older than Raikin. Each of his public appearances was accompanied by unprecedented expectations, and these expectations were justified. Almost all of his performances are sensations, fireworks, one-man theater. Taste, polished, bright, always memorable performance.

Against such a background, cute (then it became possible) boobs-masis from Leonid Ilyich, so what. Yes, he kicked a dead lion, but then who didn’t show the mumbling general secretary in insanity, from Vinokur to Grushevsky.

When Khazanov realized that his genre was dead and the newspapers had already written about everything and showed it on TV, he left, that’s honest. Only his anniversary masks remain, which are always waiting. He became the head of the Variety Theater, but who else. And he played performances in the drama theater, as we see, also very talented.

… And only a very long time ago, in the distant 79th, something happened that Khazanov would not remember now. There was a parody of Vysotsky, which was written by Arkady Khait. And Khazanov read it, sang it. Yes, in a hoarse voice. Here it is: “I live in a swamp, I eat solid grass. I hide under the shell from fear. For three hundred years now I have not been happy in my life, I am an embittered turtle. I hate people, people are worse than animals, despising cruelty from the liver. I won’t forget, she-she, how they made a comb out of my mother, bastards. I remember my mother sang to me, so affectionate: “My turtle, my rock climber …” It sucked me in, I live, cursing everything, I just don’t see the white light. I don’t see a family, I’m rotting in a swamp, and my wife is rotting in Paris…” And so on.

Then Vysotsky will call it disgusting and disgusting. Didn’t get the humor? He understood everything. About Marina Vlady – how is it possible? Hated people? Yes, few people loved people as much as Vysotsky. They were always very interesting to him, everything.

This is what Raikin would never allow himself. But what was, was.

HE DID NOT LIKE THE CINEMA

Program “Who wants to be a millionaire?” The program is old, the leader is new. Now ordinary ordinary people are participating here. We all came out of the people.

Here is a young man with glasses. Smart, as his relatives call him. “They say about me – an erudite,” he modestly declares, slightly lowering his eyes.

The theme is cinema. Great topic. The first question is: “In what movie does the hero swear like this: “Damn the day when I sat down at the steering wheel of this vacuum cleaner!”. Four options are named, one of them is correct. “Do you remember the movie? asks the presenter Yulianna Karaulova. Describe this scene. Erudite mutters something: “Some man is shouting something … I remember very vaguely.” No, you haven’t seen this movie. And purely by chance, “Prisoner of the Caucasus, or Shurik’s New Adventures” is guessed. Nevermind.

The second question: “Where did Aunt Alisa Vitalievna live with her nephew Kostya?” Four addresses are called, one of them is correct. “I don’t even know what you are talking about, these names don’t mean anything to me at all.” Karaulova is shocked. We take the help of the hall. Hall, albeit not unanimously, calls the “Pokrovsky Gate”. “Watch this movie, you will like it,” the host admonishes the eternal student. Currently unemployed. And finally, the last question on which he cut off: “Which writer’s book did Irina Muravyova’s heroine Lyudmila read in the metro in the film Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears?” Four writers are named, one of them is correct. The guy is neither in hearing, nor in spirit, nor in the tooth with his foot. The presenter suggests: “This is the book“ Three Comrades ”. Even if you didn’t read, but watched the movie… Emptiness. 50 to 50. Pasternak and Remarque remain. Zero reaction. Call a friend. A friend is a mother. Wonderful! Mom is the same as her son, an erudite: “Well, let Pasternak be.” Boris Leonidovich must have turned over in his grave. Like Remarque, of course.

Hello, young, unfamiliar tribe! People, ay, who are you, where are you from? From Mars?

This movie is part of our genetic code. So we read each other as “friend or foe.” This is our password. But it seems that everything, alles kaput, the turnout failed. On Blumenstrasse (Flower Street), 9, strangers settled in an apartment on the second floor. Where did they come from?

“He didn’t like the cinematograph,” said Billy – Nikolay Karachentsov, escorting the ignorant one into the air, away from the holy place where the movies are shown, and with one blow … I take off my hat.

This is the split, the connection of times has broken. It’s time to shout: “Help!”.

… And the presenter Yulianna Karaulova is very personal. Smart girl with the right attitude. And most importantly: she was watching Pokrovsky Gates. And “Moscow does not believe in tears.” And Remarque knows, she read it. Good job!

YELTSIN VS GORBACHEV

Anniversary of the coup. GKChP – remember this combination of capital letters? Forgot? Because they don’t show you anywhere.

The TV is silent, of course, he has other work to do.

Indeed, why once again remind about the collapse of the country? Enough already, they’ve broken up. Especially about the coup in the highest echelons of power. And do we need it?

Only one channel showed the documentary “Chronicles of a Fracture. Yeltsin vs Gorbachev.

TVC channel.

I was waiting for this film, I do not hide it. Because perestroika is the best time for me, magnificent. And the country was still whole, and freedom greeted us joyfully at the entrance. Everything forbidden was published, shelf stuff was shown – cheers, comrades. True, then, after a hangover, it turned out to be one of two things: either freedom, or a large country. Choose, but be careful.

I will be grateful to Gorbachev for the rest of my life. Although it is clear that he is not a strategist, not a very smart politician at all. Romanticism alone is not enough.

I went to all the rallies in defense of the disgraced Yeltsin. I did, although I don’t regret anything. Still, the supreme power broke Yeltsin, turned him into a not very sober tsar.

The film is objective, everything was shown there.

And about our time in 30 years, they will also shoot a similar documentary film. And everything will go in circles.
