Viktor Koklyushkin is the famous author of the monologues “Fool”, “Rehearsal”, “Democracy” and one of the most extraordinary speakers, which attracts 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 his passion for writing. Studying at school, he goes to work at the factory at the age of fifteen. At the end of the school, he is in military service in the Russian army. After returning, Victor continues to work and enters the technical school at the publishing and printing department, and then becomes an active visitor to the theater courses of GITIS.
The writer tried to realize himself in various fields of activity, including trying on the profession of locksmith, proofreader, editor, commandant of the city military registration and enlistment office, army foreman. According to the comedian, the best years of his life fell on the period of military service and work in the factory.
Creative way
Viktor Koklyushkin realized that he tried himself in his creative activity in Literaturnaya Gazeta, where by chance his article was published, which ended up on the last page. Since then, he became the author of the “Club of 12 Chairs” page, but success came to him with access to the big stage.
The debut of author's monologues took place in 1972, when Yevgeny Kravinsky spoke with his text. In addition, Evgeny 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 the Laughter”, where he read out his satirical story.
Literary activity
The author’s monologues of the writer are based on his knowledge and observation of events around the 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 truthful and humorous monologues based on this. In his creations, he evaluates events that happened earlier.
According to critics, Koklyushkin's miniatures are quite integral works. In his bibliography there are more than ten books, the most popular and best-selling book is “Hello, Lucy, it's me!”.
At the end of the theater courses, the writer got a chance for self-realization in the field of drama. He became the author of four solo performances. Koklyushkin took part in the creation of the cartoon "The Magnificent Gosh", which consisted of ten episodes and appeared on the screens in the eighties.
Personal life
The satirist saves his personal life for seven seals, in every possible way protecting his family from the press. It is known that he has been married for a long time to Elga Zlotnik, who is also a writer and has a theatrical education at VGIK. They have two children - son Yang and daughter Elga. That's the whole family of Viktor Koklyushkin.
The satirist published the book "Comedian", where he spoke about his love for dogs, cats, horses and various birds. Previously, he participated in the program "In the world of animals", showing his viewers his home menagerie.
Despite the fact that creative activity requires a lot of effort and time, this does not depress the writer at all - on the contrary, he perfectly manages to combine writing and touring cities. As Viktor Koklyushkin himself admits, he does not need long vacations and foreign trips.
Victor is a successful writer, a loving family man and a cheerful satirist who, in addition to performing on stage, also finds time to maintain a column in the newspaper Argumenty i Fakty, where he covers and comments on current events using irony.
