The material was prepared on the basis of information from RIA Novosti and open sources.
Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov was born on November 24, 1941 in the city of Yekaterinburg. Little Sashenka could rightfully be proud of his dad. He served as a navigator and military pilot who went through the Great Patriotic War. In peaceful postwar period served in the General Staff of the Air Force. The boy was born on the way to the evacuation.
She dearly loved her little son and devoted quite a lot of time to his upbringing. By the way, all the men of the Maslyakov family were called Vasily, only Zinaida Alekseevna decided to name her son Sasha, which violated the tradition that had developed over the years.
The guy successfully graduated from school, and after that he applied to the Institute of Transport Engineers in Moscow. He did not take part in KVN games, but now and then flashed in theatrical performances.
After graduating from the institute, Alexander Vasilyevich worked for a long time as an ordinary engineer, but the dream of working on television did not leave.
The thing was that in the fourth year Sasha was invited to become one of the five leading KVN. The winning team of the previous games was supposed to shoot a humorous program, and young Maslyakov, among others, led it. Sasha literally fell ill with television.
In 1968, Alexander graduated from the Higher Courses for Television Workers, and a little later, additional courses for television workers. The talented young man was noticed almost immediately and invited to host youth programs. Also, Maslyakov worked for eight years as a senior editor of youth programs. Later he worked special correspondent and commentator. Was in demand at the Experiment studio.
Alexander led popular programs aimed at a youth audience. Among them, I would like to highlight “Come on, girls”, “Turn”, “Hello, we are looking for talents”, “Funny guys”, “Song of the year”.

Few people know, but he became the first croupier of the program “What? Where? When? ”, hosted one of the episodes of the TV show“ Vzglyad ”.
One of the brightest pages in Maslyakov's life can be called the KVN game. Alexander Vasilievich already long years directs this show. Also, he directs and leads this humorous project. He heads the International Union of KVN. Maslyakov was seen several times as a member of the jury at KVN field festivals. In the early releases of this program, he appeared on stage with Svetlana Zhiltsova.
Maslyakov considers the closure of the Club of the Cheerful and Resourceful in 1974 on a far-fetched occasion to be a personal tragedy. The broadcast of the program resumed only after fourteen years. Alexander Vasilievich returned to the post of TV presenter, but Svetlana Zhiltsova flatly refused to host KVN.
Maslyakov invented and headed creative association AMiK, which still organizes KVN games throughout the country. Also, the KVN brand was registered in the name of Maslyakov, although the issue here is rather controversial.

Alexander Maslyakov Jr. - son of Alexander Vasilyevich
In 1980, a couple of Maslyakovs had a son, who was named after his father Sasha. The boy wanted to become either a politician or a policeman, but he resolutely rejected the career of a TV presenter.
Later, the genes, apparently, took their toll, and Alexander Maslyakov Jr. - the son of Alexander Vasilyevich Maslyakov - after studying at MGIMO, nevertheless became not a diplomat, but a leader. For a long time he has been leading the KVN Premier League and Planet KVN.

Why was Alexander Maslyakov in prison?
Yes, for nothing. It is a fiction that Alexander Maslyakov was in prison. There was no photo of this incident anywhere. Most likely, this is an information stuffing that corrupt media do for the benefit of some goal
According to one version, Maslyakov ended up in prison not in 1971, but in 1974. Returning to television, he hosted the program “What? Where? When?”, “Hello, we are looking for talents”, “Come on, girls”, “Addresses of the young”, “Sprint for everyone”, “Turn”, “Funny guys”, “12th floor”, reports from World festivals youth and students, international song festivals in Sochi, the program "Song of the Year", "Alexander Show" and many others.

He claims that with a criminal record, he would not have been allowed to work on television - at least in Soviet era. Which is really true.
Today Alexander Maslyakov is a cult figure on Soviet and Russian television. He has great authority among many influential personalities. Some people are a little afraid of him. Especially the players of the KVN teams. They all know that if Alexander Vasilievich is not in a good mood, then it is better not to ask him questions again. Even on the KVN stage, all jokes about the presenter are pronounced with extreme caution.
Young Sasha studied at an ordinary Sverdlovsk school, and graduated, by the way, with honors. After school, Alexander entered the energy department of the Moscow Institute of Transport Engineers.

Sergei Muratov: “It was a debut for everyone. The game was not with the teams, as later in KVN, but with the audience. Completely random people were called to the stage with the help of various tricks. Let's say the leader fired a parachute into the hall - whoever falls on it comes out. The audience for the first time actors. And not only those who are in the hall, but also those who are sitting at the TV. But not everything went as smoothly as we would like. After one curious incident, the program was closed for "technical reasons."
"Technical break" lasted 4 years. In 1961, a new youth edition appeared on television, headed by Elena Galperina. It was she who proposed to revive something like "VVV". Sergei Muratov, who already knew at the time how such enthusiasm ends, at first denied. But Elena was able to convince the ambitious guys of the prospects of such a game.
Sergei Muratov: “And we gathered at Misha Yakovlev's on Mira Avenue. Three of us again: Alik Axelrod, Misha and me. Then KVN was born. We wanted the name new game was purely television, and KVN was then called the brand of the then televisions - solid boxes with a tiny screen.
