Mikhail Zhvanetsky - the classic of humor

There are many interesting people in the world. Someone can reveal their talent, some can not. Mikhail Zhvanetsky is a unique person who, even during his lifetime, became a legend of humor in virtually all Russian-speaking countries. His quotations are thin and sharp like a needle. But at the same time, they are so close and understandable to all.

Childhood

March 6, 1934 in the family of Odessa doctors, surgeon Emmanuel Moiseevich and dentist Raisa Yakovlevna came the long-awaited joy - the couple was born a boy.

Most of the children's years Zhvanetsky Mikhail Mikhailovich held in Tomashpol, Vinnytsia region. In 1944 the family returned to their native Odessa.

After graduating from the local 118th school, Mikhail Zhvanetsky goes to the Odessa Institute. In 1956 the port of "Southern Palmyra" receives a valuable employee - "engineer - mechanic of equipment". During this period of his life, Mikhail Zhvanetsky honed his oratory on port cranes.

And in his spare time he took part in the work of the Odessa student theater "Parnas".

Sharp change

The machines were not the most grateful listeners, and the satirist often recalled his student performances on stage, which invariably aroused genuine laughter among the audience.

As Mikhail Zhvanetsky knew, that in 1963 he needed to get to know Arkady Raikin, who was in Odessa on tour. The meeting turned into a stormy cooperation. Already in 1964, the port became very sad - Zhvanetsky sailed off into a long interesting raid with the Raikin Theater.

What just did not come up with two masters for joint years of work. Soon there was not a single show, in which Mikhail Zhvanetsky took an active part. Quotes "dismantled" as hot pies, they "went to the people."

The partners of the satirist became Roman Kartsev, Viktor Ilchenko. More than three hundred completed monologues were prepared by Mikhail Zhvanetsky.

Career

The humorist could not stay long in the shadows. Already in a short time he began to give independent full-fledged concerts in his native Odessa, Moscow, St. Petersburg. The people were rushing in crowds at the performances. The cash registers had huge queues. Tickets bought up instantly.

1988 is one of the key in the life of a satirist. During this period, the Moscow Theater of Miniatures was created, the artistic director of which became Mikhail Manievich.

Blue screen and printing

Of course, the television could not help calling in his ranks the master of the stage. In his active role in the film.

And in 2002, the satirist became the leading humorous show "Duty on the Country", which had consistently high ratings.

In addition to television, Mikhail tries himself in writing. The greatest work was published in 2001 under the title "Collected Works".

Reasons for success

Usually the truth is not much loved. But this is not so - it must be able to properly "submit". Defects of society as a whole and the shortcomings of individual individuals can be an excellent material for the satirist. Add to this the colorful Odessa humor and the ability to see what the viewer needs - get the recipe for Zhvanetsky's success.
