“Actually, it all started back in fmshuge. My roommate and I sang songs for money in the cafeteria. There were some songs for three kopecks, some for five, some for ten. They even arranged whole concerts - well, also for money, of course. They also sang in the hostel. It all ended after another classmate bought a subscription to all performances, taking us to the cafeteria, Duda recalled in an interview with the university website. - After that, we became somehow uninteresting, the business withered. Well, then it kind of happened. The path is standard: matfak, "Office of the Divanov Brothers", KVN.
I was a fairly well-known figure in the Office, so there were never any questions about whether or not to include me in the team. From the applications, from the qualifying performances, to the very end.”
He said that when the NSU team made it to the league and they were shown on TV, the participants felt like real stars.

According to materials:
A few days ago, fans of the KVN team "NATE" rejoiced, because the club managed to reach the top league according to the results of the festival in Sochi. Comedians themselves reported this. They were able to impress the jury with their jokes, and therefore took one of the first places at the event.
However, just a few days later it turned out that a real tragedy had befallen the star team. One of the team members, Sergei Balenko, died. His friends rushed to talk about it on social networks, while not indicating the reason for what happened.
“On January 19, 2018, our brother and friend, Sergei Balenko, passed away. He passed away too early and could do a lot more. Thoughts are confused, I don’t want to believe in it, ”the representatives of the club said.
According to media reports, the tragedy occurred in Rostov-on-Don. However, it is not yet known what happened and under what circumstances Balenko died. The humorist's fans were shocked by the news. They hastened to express their condolences to the family and friends of the star. “I remember Seryozha well on stage. He was always so incendiary, just glowing with enthusiasm and energy”, “I understand that it’s tactless to ask, but what happened? There is no information anywhere about the cause of death”, “When young people leave, it is always a tragedy. I can’t even imagine how hard it is for the guy’s parents now,” the young man’s fans wrote.
Sergey's friends decided to support his relatives financially. They opened a fundraiser and asked all those who are not indifferent to transfer money to Balenko's mother, which will be used to organize the funeral. In the first hours of the action, a decent amount was collected. Also, representatives of the club called for tolerance and not to ask questions regarding the cause of the incident.
“Friends, the number of messages that each of us receives, the support that you provide, is simply incalculable. We cannot answer the question: “What happened?” until we ourselves are 100% sure of the information,” the team members said.
Some fans of the NATE team suggested that Sergey had settled the score of life. However, most of the club's fans came to the conclusion that such a conclusion was irrational. The fact is that Balenko's humorous career was on the rise. The team entered the major league of KVN, and the deceased was considered one of its main stars.
