Whoever says anything (in the style of “KVN is not the same”, “KVN died another 15 years ago,” etc.), but this television game is still very, very popular. Not only that, today it is a real “forge of cadres” not only for many entertainment television channels (a huge number of screenwriters, producers and, of course, comic actors came out of KVN), but also for cinema and even for theater.
And one more interesting detail: if at the beginning of his journey KVN was, by and large, a male game, then recently there has been a noticeable gender “alignment” in it. Almost every team now has girls, and they have been on the scene for a long time not only “for beauty” or “for singing.”
Female images in modern KVN, very often, are full-blown, bright, sometimes “clogging” male ones with their charisma. Both in junior (regional) and in television leagues, more and more purely female teams appear every year. Of course, it is very difficult to choose from this "flower garden" only 10 of the very best, but we will try.
Anticipating fair indignation (“Why did you choose this one, but this one isn’t? It is much prettier!”) We want to immediately clarify: only ten girls who played in the tower or at least in the premiere (that is, in the leagues that most know spectators), and became famous precisely during the period of their game in KVN, and not much later, when they already worked on STS, TNT and other channels.
And one more thing: they all played (that is, they were in the lead roles), and did not sing at the beginning or at the end of the performance, and did not stand on stage as beautiful "sets".
10. Yulia Akhmedova (Voronezh Region National Team “25th”)
The frontwoman of the Voronezh team “25th” Yulia Akhmedova, the audience remembered from the first appearance on the stage. She was bright, artistic, very pretty (although Akhmedova herself still doubts this).
KVN Julia was carried away at the beginning of her studies at the Voronezh University of Architecture and Civil Engineering. She and her friends tried to get into the university (of course, male) KVN team, but, quickly feeling obvious neglect, “freaked out” and founded a purely female team in 2003.
In 2007, the girls from the 25th with Yulia Akhmedova as the captain got into the first league, and in 2010 they got to the tower. The “25th” did not become a champion, but the girls visited the finals. By the way, the rest of the team members (Anya Borodina, Natasha Chebotaryova and especially the redhead Anya Smirnova) are also beautiful.
After KVN, Julia Akhmedova worked as a creative producer for Comedy Woman, was one of the screenwriters of the Univer series, and founded the new Stand-Up Comedy program with Ruslan Bely (and for a long time was her only female resident), etc. And, it seems, this is far from the limit.
9. Irina Chesnokova (“Faculty of Journalism”)
The team "Faculty of Journalism", which made its way to the tower in 2012, had two girls: the beautiful singing blonde Alexandra Kuznetsova and Irina Chesnokova - a smiling and charming brunette. And, unlike Sasha, clearly aimed at the status of a “star of screens”, Irka was never afraid to be ridiculous and ridiculous (which caused great sympathy).
Chesnokova also played in KVN from students. At first, she played for the Voronezh teams “Seryozha” and “Cat Mom” (yes, Ira is from Voronezh, and received higher education at the journalism department and faculty of Voronezh State University), and since 2010, she joined the faculty of journalism in St. Petersburg, in which became the vice-champion of 2012.
After KVN’s career, Ira’s career began to gain momentum: since 2012, she worked for Comedy Radio and the Comedy Battle show (as chief editor and creative producer), and in 2014 she became the host of TNT’s broadcast on TNT , an actress in the sketch “Students” and one of the main characters of the show “Once Upon a Time in Russia”.
8. “New” Olga Kartunkova (Pyatigorsk National Team)
Even 3-4 years ago, you would have definitely turned a finger at the temple, seeing in the list of 10 beauties from KVN Kartunkova (supposedly, the authors clearly have something wrong with ideas about beauty). But look at Olya today! Who could have imagined that from a boorish “aunt who sells chickens in the market” (as Kartunkova herself said in one of the numbers) and a shapeless owner of three chins, she will get such a pretty “red beast” that fits tight jeans?
All in all, it was worth losing weight (almost 2 times), changing your hairstyle and doing makeup. And Olga’s incredible charisma could not be taken away in her previous form. She is, without exaggeration, a wonderful comedic actress, which has been proven more than once in KVN and in the show “Once Upon a Time in Russia” on TNT.
It all started with a small town KVN in the House of Culture of the village of Vinsady near Pyatigorsk, where Kartunkova worked as a methodologist (although she is, in fact, a clerk by training).
7. Elena Gushchina (“Union”)
Slender and figured Lyolya, the owner of a magnificent voice, began to play in KVN, like many other participants of our top ten, from the first year of Tyumen State University, where she studied law (in general, Elena Gushchina has three higher educations - she is also a philologist and theater director).
The KVN Ugra team got into the Premier League in 2003, and into the tower in 2008 (but did not go further than 1/8). Nevertheless, Lyol was noticed, and in 2011 they invited (the last of all team members) to Soyuz. And in 2014, an excellently played, distinctive and almost entirely singing team became the tower champion.
In 2017, Soyuz (in its entirety and thanks to an idea filed specifically by Elena Gushchina) founded the Soyuz Studio studio on TNT. In addition, Lolya has a huge number of awards for victories in various vocal competitions, she promotes her solo musical project “Lelya Band”, is engaged in painting, etc.
6. Galina Tenisheva (“Sega Mega Drive 16 bit”)
Galya Tenisheva was an assistant administrator, author and actress of the team with a very unusual (one might even say - paradoxical) humor, which, nevertheless, perfectly "went to the viewer" - "Sega Mega Drive 16 bits."
The trinity, who performed mostly very unexpected, built on purely visual humor, numbers (Ilya Aksyonov, Andrei Glinsky and Galya Tenisheva) was remembered and immediately fell in love with the audience. Their main “trick” was an incendiary dance to the composition “Mamba” of the Leningrad group between numbers.
The team, representing the HSE and MISiS, got to the premiere in 2010 and took bronze in the final, but in the tower (in 2012) was able to reach only 1/4. Nevertheless, Galya and the company are still well remembered.
By the way, this beautiful brunette with the most charming smile married “teammate” Andrei Glinsky. Now Galya Tenisheva is an author and distributor at the Viral Marketing Agency Paralyzed Elk Media, as well as an English tutor.
5. Gulnara Silbaeva (“Kazakhs”, Team of Kazakhstan, “Sparta”)
A beautiful, expressive, talented girl with a magnificent coloratura soprano played in KVN while still at school, and then at the university (she was educated as a marketer in Almaty KIMEP). In 2010, Captain Nurlan Koyanbaev invited Gulnaru to the newly created Kazakh team. And in the same year, the team reached the final of the tower and took 2nd place.
Then Gulnara played in the Team of Kazakhstan, and since 2017 - in the team of "Sparta". It was with her that she became the champion of the tower and "KVNschitsy of the year" according to the portal "KVN for all."
By the way, for all of her teams, Gulnara also edited the video and made props. Since 2012, she began to try herself as a serious actress in Kazakh series and films. To date, she already has 8 television and film works.
4. Marina Gritsuk (BSU National Team)
Remember the masterpiece “Boys from the South-West say hello ...” (“Khamovniki TV”) from the BSU junior team, performed by a girl with a charming smile and dimples on her cheeks? Clever, beautiful and very talented actress Marina Gritsuk today is the mother of four sons.
Nevertheless, she works on TV (she runs the Silver Gramophone programs on ONT, Laughter Factor, Our Morning, etc.), starred in a Latvian action movie, hosted a reality show in Holland, etc.
From time to time, at the invitation of the currently playing teams, Marina appears on the air of KVN. And she still looks just as magnificent as in 1999 and 2001, when her team twice became a tower champion.
3. Anna Nedelko (Murmansk National Team)
On the stage of KVN, Anya usually appears in the image of a beautiful and hmm ... not very smart “doll”. In fact, this figured girl with mischievous sparks in her eyes is far from a fool: she has two higher educations (economic and legal, and besides, both with honors).
Anna Nedelko works at Alfa Bank, and the rest of the time she is the main soloist of the IsTerra rock band and, of course, plays in KVN. In fact, initially, according to Ani herself, she did not like and did not watch KVN.
But in 2006, as a freshman, a friend literally dragged her into the women's team of the Murmansk Technical University. As a result, her friend soon left, and Anya stayed because she realized that in KVN she could develop in terms of acting.
In 2008, Nedelko became one of the initiators of the creation of the future National Team of Murmansk, which twice successfully reached the final of the tower (though it did not become a champion).
2. Sitora Farmonova ("Asia MIX")
The gentle and exotic Sitora is considered in her homeland, in Uzbekistan, one of the most beautiful women. There she is a well-known actress and singer, touring a lot and actively (on her account there are already more than a dozen roles in series and films; among other things, it was Sitora who became the first Uzbek actress to play in a film by a German director). She has two diplomas - an actress and a designer-fashion designer.
And she came to KVN at the invitation of Eldiyar Kenensarov - the captain of the Asia MIX team created in 2009, whom she had known for a long time (they worked together in the Central Asian version of the series Dormitory). In the 2015 season, “Asia MIX” (including thanks to Sitora) won the “Big Kivin in the Dark” at the festival in Svetlogorsk, and in 2016 became the champion of the tower.
Now Sitora Farmonova works on Uzbek TV and is seriously planning to create a collection of clothes under her own fashion brand. And a couple of facts about this Asian beauty - Sitora knows 5 languages and is engaged in kickboxing. So much for the “woman of the East”!
1. Marina Kravets ("Coots", "IGA")
And finally, the girl from KVN, whom most fans of this game considers beautiful, is the incomparable Marina Kravets. The only woman is a permanent resident of Comedy Club, she began to play in KVN in high school.
Having entered the philology faculty of St. Petersburg University, Marina immediately became a member of the faculty team "Coots", who then played in the first league. Later, she played for the IGA team, and also appeared several times as part of the IFJA and Faculty of Journalism teams.
And, since Marina has a beautiful voice and loves music, after KVN she soloed in several music groups: NotNet, Mary & Band and Nestroyband. From the latter, she was invited to Comedy Club by Igor Meerson (Elvis). In addition, since 2007 Marina has been working on the radio (Radio ROKS, Mayak, now Comedy Radio), occasionally voices cartoons, and is the co-host of the Russo Turisto travel show paired with Sergei Gorelikov (on STS ) etc.
In order to “pacify” at least a little the admirers of other KVN beauties, we decided to list a few more of them (yes, they were also worthy to get into our top ten): the slim and stylish Irina Saponaru from Vinnitsa Peppers, the tender Alyonka Kornienko from the Minsk Sea ”, Charming Kristina Ponunaeva and Dasha Kobyakova from“ The Team of Blondes of Ukraine ”, chic Elena Kravets from“ 95 Quarter ”, elegant Polina Sibagatullina from the Team of Peter, smiling Dasha Chepasova from“ Beaumond ”, fragile Liza Kazhanova from“ Triode and Diode ”, vociferous and the beautiful Karina Osmonova from “Bad Company” and Vasilina Kukushkina from “Juice”, the intelligent Albina Aminova and “torn” Katya Ivanova from the National Team of the Tula Region, etc.
