The famous comedy film by Eldar Ryazanov "The Irony of Fate, or With light steam!" after two year break returns to the television screens of Ukraine. As explained by the head of the country's Goskino Filipp Ilyenko, the film does not fall into the list of films prohibited from showing, ITAR-TASS reports.
“The law on cinematography says that a picture may be banned from showing if one of the participants in the film is included in the list of persons posing a threat to national security,
but the law also has a definition of who a "participant in the film" is, Ilyenko explained in an interview with Vesti. - A "participant in the film" is individual, which was involved in the making of a film made and/or first shown after 1991."
The Law "On Cinematography" was adopted in Ukraine in 2015. The document banned the display of all the paintings on which the persons included in the Ukrainian "black list of cultural figures" worked. In the spring of 2016, the deputies of the Rada supported the additions, according to which the broadcasting of films produced by Russian citizens and released or first published after January 1, 2014 is prohibited in Ukraine.
As for “undesirable persons”, they include, first of all, those artists who visited Crimea after 2014.
Kyiv requires foreigners to enter the peninsula only with the permission of the Ukrainian law enforcement agencies of this country and only from its territory. In addition, those people whose statements the Ukrainian authorities consider directed against their country are also included in the “black list”.
More than 140 were first on the official "black list" Russian leaders art, but its full content is not disclosed. In total, in 2017, according to the head of the State Border Service Viktor Nazarenko, Ukraine banned the entry of 616 Russian citizens.
The list is updated from time to time.
Thus, directors Karen Shakhnazarov and Pavel Lungin, actors Vasily Lanovoy, Valentin Gaft, Oleg Tabakov, Valentina Telichkina, Natalya Varley, Lyudmila Artemyeva, musicians Alexander Rosenbaum, Sergey Penkin, Nikolai Rastorguev, singers Lev Leshchenko, Joseph Kobzon, Nikolai Dobrynin, Natasha Koroleva and others.
One of the most high-profile cases was the ban on the entry of Yulia Samoilova, the Russian delegate to Eurovision, who has been moving to wheelchair She visited Crimea in 2015. Volunteers of the Myrotvorets website, who maintain a database of Russian public figures, help the Security Service of Ukraine collect information. So, in September, after entering this base, Ukraine was denied entry Russian rapper Vasily Vakulenko (Basta).
One of latest decisions The Ministry of Culture of Ukraine began to ban the broadcast of the TV series "Matchmakers", in which Russian actor from the "black list" Fedor Dobronravov.
The list also includes the actress from the “Irony of Fate” Valentina Talyzina, who signed a letter in March 2014 in support of the actions of the President of Russia in relation to Crimea and Ukraine. For this reason, Ukrainian TV channels stopped showing the comedy by Eldar Ryazanov two years ago, after the adoption of the law, despite the fact that the picture was released on January 1, 1976 and has nothing to do with the films mentioned in the document, shot after 1991.
In addition, for unknown reasons, the tacit ban on Ukrainian TV channels affected all the "winter" Soviet movie hits - not a single picture has been shown since then.
Now, after Ilyenko's explanations, the situation on Ukrainian TV may change, and the films loved by all will be rehabilitated. In a promotional video for one of the channels, it was mentioned that The Irony of Fate would be returned to the screens of the country on December 31.
The two-part comedy The Irony of Fate, filmed in 1975 by director Eldar Ryazanov based on a play he co-authored with Emil Braginsky, is the most beloved New Year's film in the USSR.
Actors, including Barbara Brylska, Andrey Myagkov, Yuri Yakovlev, Valentina Talyzina, Liya Akhedzhakova, Georgy Burkov, Alexander Shirvindt, instantly became people's favorites after the release of the film. And the famous sparkling phrases - “What a disgusting thing, what a disgusting thing is your jellied fish”, “And you have shoes with thin soles”, “How could I be wrong, I never get drunk” and others - were quickly sorted into quotes.
The Ukrainian viewer may be left without the main New Year's film - "The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath" by Eldar Ryazanov. It seems that they have seen this comedy a hundred times, but New Year's Eve without him seems vague. The National Council for Television and Radio Broadcasting of Ukraine reminded Ukrainian TV channels of the list of individuals who pose a threat to national security and whose content is prohibited for broadcast in the country.
Among them and Russian actress Valentina Talyzina, who played Valya, a friend and colleague in Ryazanov's film main character. In addition, it is the voice of Talyzina that Nadia speaks in "The Irony of Fate ...".
Ironically, the continuation of the cult film cannot be shown on Ukrainian TV channels, since Sergei Bezrukov, who also poses a threat to national security according to the Ministry of Culture, is filmed in it.
What does the law say?
In 2015, amendments were made to the law "On Cinematography". These changes stipulate that Goskino refuses to issue a distribution certificate to a film, "one of the participants of which is an individual included in the list of persons posing a threat to national security." However, the law does not specify whether this ban applies to films for which a distribution certificate has been obtained earlier.
Note that the list of banned TV shows and films compiled by the State Film Agency does not include "The Irony of Fate". But this list was compiled even before Valentina Talyzina was included in the list of persons posing a threat to the national security of Ukraine.

In addition, the legendary film by Leonid Gaidai was banned. "Caucasian captive" , which is traditionally shown on new year holidays. The main role in it was played by Natalya Varley, who also poses a threat to national security, according to the Ministry of Culture.
The main reasons why the film can be withdrawn from the screening are announced. Central TV channels have been warned about the ban.
Comedies by Eldar Ryazanov "The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!". The reason was the limit of licenses to show the film and the stake on their own product.
Previously, it was assumed that the film would not be shown to the audience due to the presence on the “black list” of actress Valentina Talyzina, who signed a letter in support of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The TV program of the six main TV channels of the country does not mention the film "Irony of Fate". However, this is not explained as a security risk.
“The fact is that the picture belongs to the so-called “Golden Fund” of cinema and the rights to broadcast it are scheduled for several years in advance. Moreover, the number of impressions is strictly limited - as a rule, 1-2 times a year, no more. One of the Ukrainian channels immediately after the death of Eldar Ryazanov (November 30) already showed "The Irony" and thus exhausted its ability to show the film this year, while another channel, according to the license, can show it from January. But, frankly, for a couple of years now, TV bosses have not really fought for the right to broadcast. The channels have enough of their own products - shows and series that have no less, and sometimes even big ratings than “Enjoy your bath!”, top managers comment.
“The National Council cannot take it off the air of any of the TV channels. Only after the fact of its broadcast and someone's oral or written appeal to the National Council, we can consider this fact for violation. Personally, I do not see a threat in the fact that it will be shown. It's simple interesting film, which has become a tradition in Ukraine as well,” says Executive Secretary of the National Council for Television and Radio Broadcasting Kateryna Kotenko.
It remains only to sympathize with the pensioners who live in the village and do not have the Internet. They never watch their favorite comedy.
Recall that Forbes compiled
“Every year on December 31, my friends and I go to the bathhouse,” said the hero of the famous comedy Eldara Ryazanova Evgeny Lukashin. Over the past ten years, Russian television viewers have developed an equally stable tradition: on December 31, watch the main New Year's comedy countries on Channel One. Since 2007, Channel One has consistently shown the story of the adventures of Zhenya Lukashin and Nadia Sheveleva on New Year's Eve.
Zhenya and Nadya change their New Year's "registration"
This time, however, viewers won't see "Irony..." on the familiar button. According to "Lenta.ru" with reference to the representative of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company Victoria Arutyunova, those who do not want to celebrate the New Year without the usual heroes will be able to find them on "Russia 1".
According to the source of "Lenta.ru", the reason is related to the rights to display. According to the channels' agreements with the Mosfilm film concern, which owns the rights to most of the best domestic films, "there is a package of films that should be rotated between channels, like Eurovision."
However, concessions are not unilateral. The first channel instead of "Irony" will be able to show the films "Ivan Vasilyevich Changes His Profession" and "Prisoner of the Caucasus", previously aired on New Year's Eve on the Russia 1 TV channel.
Such a distribution of the “golden fund” of Soviet cinema applies only to Channel One and the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company and does not affect other TV channels.
Beginning of the legend
Play Emil Braginsky and Eldar Ryazanov “Enjoy your bath! or Once upon a New Year's Eve ... ”, which formed the basis of the picture, was written in 1969 and was successfully staged in theaters for several years.
The film "The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!" was filmed by Eldar Ryazanov at the Mosfilm studio in 1975 by order of the State Committee of the USSR Council of Ministers for Television and Radio Broadcasting.
The premiere of the picture took place on January 1, 1976 at 17:45 on the first program of the Central Television. "Irony..." instantly deserved incredible love spectators. It doesn't happen very often that a film shown on television is then released to the cinema, but that's exactly what happened with Ryazanov's picture.
"Irony ..." was recognized - according to the results of a survey of the magazine "Soviet Screen" - best movie 1976 and Andrey Myagkov called best actor of the year. In 1977, the creators of the picture were awarded the State Prize of the USSR.
"Continuation" will remain on the First
December 21, 2007 on the screens of Russian cinemas came out a picture Timur Bekmambetov"The Irony of Fate. Continuation". Among the creators of the film was Channel One, and its leader Konstantin Ernst became one of the producers of the tape. The film was recognized as the highest-grossing film in Russia and the CIS in 2008: fees amounted to about 49.92 million dollars.
Just since 2007, Channel One retained the right to pre-New Year's show of the classic "Irony of Fate". TV premiere of the film “The Irony of Fate. Continuation ”was held on January 1, 2010 on Channel One. Unlike Ryazanov's picture, Bekmambetov's tape will not move anywhere: those who wish will find it on Channel One.
Ukrainians were again allowed to watch "Irony of Fate"
IN Lately passions around the "Irony of Fate" were in full swing in Ukraine. In December 2015, the Goskino of Ukraine announced that it was ready to consider the possibility of banning the film The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath! from being shown in the country, if the SBU received a corresponding request.
As explained in Goskino, this is possible, since Valentina Talyzina, who played in the episode, is included in the "black list" Russian artists. If the National Security and Defense Council or the Security Service of Ukraine submits a relevant request, Goskino will consider it.
As a result, on the eve of the new year 2016, the film's distribution certificate was not revoked, but the Ukrainian TV channels preferred not to include "Ironiya ..." in the broadcasting network out of harm's way.
Clarity came only in December 2017. Head of Goskino Philip Ilyenko in an interview with Ukrainian Vesti, he said that Ryazanov’s film could be shown in the country:“The law on cinematography says that a film can be banned if one of the participants in the film is included in the list of persons posing a threat to national security, but the law also defines who a “participant in the film” is. A “movie contributor” is an individual who has taken part in the making of a film made and/or first shown after 1991.”
Since "Irony ..." with the "wrong" Talyzina was released on January 1, 1976, it does not fall under the ban.
And thanks for that. In any case, for the first time last years Ukrainians have the opportunity to watch their favorite New Year's film in peace.
Film The Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath! already for a long time is a symbol of the new year. Everyone knows the words of all the characters by heart, but still pulls to look before the holiday. At the same time, it is not necessary to look for it on the Internet or, God forbid, buy it somewhere on a disk. It usually goes on the air on December 31 on some main channel in the country. For example, in Russia, the film The Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath is not the first year! broadcast by Channel One. But this year around the picture formed a sickly hype. Now only the Russia 1 channel has the right to show the film. In Ukraine, the Irony of Fate was banned back in that year. At the same time, the Ukrainian channel Inter decided to go against the law and still please the Ukrainian audience with their favorite film.
How did the film The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!
The film The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath is a Soviet TV movie directed by Eldar Ryazanov in 1975 for two episodes. It was first shown on January 1, 1976 on the first DH program at 17:45. The first show was able to attract 100 million viewers. Numerous requests to show the film The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath! re-left no choice channel. Already on February 7 of the same year, it was again launched on the air. According to Fyodor Razzakov (writer, journalist), the film Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath! viewed by 250 million people between 1976 and 1978. In 1977, the picture received state award THE USSR.
Distribution of roles
Initially, the role of Ippolit was supposed to go to Oleg Basilashvili. But in the midst of filming the film The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath! Father Basilashvili and his colleague actor Efim Kopelyan die. For these reasons, Oleg could not get to the shooting on time. And then Ryazanov decides to invite Yuri Yakovlev. As confirmation of these changes can be traced in the film itself. There is a moment when the photographs of Ippolit thrown out of the window by Zhenya are picked up by Nadia and the image of Oleg Basilashvili is visible on them.
The role of Gali went to Natalia Gvozdikova. Evgeny Lukashkin was supposed to play Andrei Mironov. Only the great popularity of Mironov among women at that time forced Ryazanov to change the actor. A not too flashy and at the same time charismatic man was required. Difficult choice made many look famous actors. Innokenty Smoktunovsky, Stanislav Lyubshin, Pyotr Valyaminov auditioned for this role. But his greatness gave Ryazanov Andrey Myagkov a chance.
No less excitement was observed around the role of Nadezhda Sheveleva. The vacancy was applied for by famous actresses like Lyudmila Gurchenko, Svetlana Nemolyaeva, Valentina Talyzina and others. Ryazanov himself did not like all these tests. Once he saw the Polish film "Love's Anatomy" in leading role with Barbara Brylskaya. By Soviet standards, this film was considered solid sex. Ryazanov liked the acting of the actress, and he decides to invite her to audition. Brylskaya hardly spoke Russian. Some filming moments had to be explained in English.
Brazilian passions around the film
If in Soviet time film The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath! they just took it and showed it, today they first figure out who will show it, and then they release it on the air. For example, in Russia, for a long time on December 31, all the inhabitants of the country could watch their favorite film The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath on Channel One. Suddenly the owner copyright for the film, the Mosfilm film concern decides to transfer these rights to the Rossiya 1 channel. In return, Channel One has the ability to broadcast no less popular Soviet movies"Prisoner of the Caucasus" and "Ivan Vasilievich changes his profession." All this is strange ... In any case, the main thing is that most of the Russian audience was able to watch their favorite picture on New Year's Eve.
No less oddities with the film The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath! are happening in Ukraine. It was strictly forbidden there. The actress Valentina Talyzina is to blame. She signed the appeal of the figures Russian culture in support of Vladimir Putin's policy towards Ukraine. In turn, the Ukrainian authorities included all these subscribers in a special list of persons posing a threat to the national security of the country. Considering the fact that Talyzina, who is banned in Ukraine, is acting in the film, he was banned from showing it. How does Valentina Talyzina in the film The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath! can pose a threat to the national security of Ukraine remains a mystery. After all, there is a separate film product without any hint of Ukraine and actress Valentina Talyzina with her own position. Why ban a harmless film product and deprive people of the holiday? Strange…
An even weirder situation with the film this year. It turns out that the forbidden picture Irony of Fate or Enjoy Your Bath will be shown in Ukraine on the Inter channel in spite of the ban. Just some kind of New Year's magic 🙂 Be that as it may, at least this year the inhabitants of both countries will be able to see their beloved Zhenya and Nadia on TV.
