For English-speaking users: КВН (an abbreviation of Клуб Весёлых и Находчивых = Club of the Funny and Inventive People) is a Russian humour TV show and competition where teams (usually college students) compete by giving funny answers to questions and showing prepared sketches. The programme was first aired in 1961. Eleven years later, in 1972, when few programmes were being broadcast live, Soviet censors found the students' impromptu jokes offensive and anti-Soviet and banned KVN. The show was revived fourteen years later during the Perestroika era in 1986, with Alexander Maslyakov as its host. It is one of the longest-running TV programmes on Russian Television.
