KVN: Birth Certificate

November 8, 2016 marked the 55th anniversary of the airing of the very first KVN program. The "Fun and Resourceful Club" has known good and bad times: for censorship reasons, it was closed in 1972, and revived only in 1986. But even without the broadcast, KVN existed on the student and amateur stages, lived, developed, and changed along with the time and the country. There is no such TV centenarian in the world. So who are they, the inventors of this "perpetual motion machine": Muratov, Yakovlev and Axelrod?
