The famous satirist Victor Koklyushkin

Victor Koklyushkin is the famous author of the monologues "Fool", "Rehearsal", "Democracy" and one of the most extraordinary speakers, who draws attention with an unusual nasal voice.

Childhood and youth

Satirik was born in Moscow in 1945, where he began his career, which at that time was completely unrelated to the hobby of writing. Studying at school, he goes to work at the factory in fifteen years. At the end of the school is an urgent service in the troops of the Russian army. Returning, Victor continues to work and enters the technical school at the publishing and printing department, and afterwards becomes an active visitor of GITIS theatrical courses.

According to the humorist, the best years of his life were for the period of military service and work in the factory.

Creative way

Samples in creative activity Victor Kokljushkin realized in "the Literary newspaper" where by chance his article which has got on a last strip has been published. Since then he became the author of the page "Club of 12 Chairs", but success came to him with an exit on a big stage.

The debut of author's monologues took place in 1972, when his text was made by Evgeny Kravinsky. In addition, Yevgeny Petrosyan, Vladimir Vinokur and Yefim Shifrin were honored to speak with his monologues. The author himself appeared on the scene in 1983. He had the opportunity to take part in the filming of the program "Around Laughter", where he read out his satirical story.

Literary Activity

At the heart of author's monologues of the writer lie his knowledge and observations of the events of the surrounding world. Victor Koklyushkin, whose biography describes various events, saw the country at different stages of its existence, and therefore it is not difficult for him to come up with true and humorous monologues based on this. In his works he evaluates the events that took place earlier.

As critics say, the miniatures of Koklyushkin are quite solid pieces. In his bibliography more than ten books, the most popular and sold is the book "Hello, Lusia, it's me!".

At the end of the theatrical courses the writer got a chance to self-realization in the field of drama. He became the author of four solo performances. Koklyushkin took part in the creation of the animated film "The Magnificent Gosha", which consisted of ten episodes and appeared on screens in the eighties.

It is known that he has been married to Elga Zlotnik for a long time, who is also a writer and has a theatrical education of VGIK. They have two children - the son of Yang and the daughter of Elga. That's the whole family of Victor Koklyushkin.

The satirist published the book "Humorist", where he told about his love for dogs, cats, horses and various birds. Earlier he took part in the program "In the world of animals", demonstrating to viewers his home menagerie.
