After all, only this person knew how to translate people’s stupid behavior on stage into an exciting show that gives a lot of positive emotions.

The satirist regularly ridiculed foreign lifestyles, their culture and way of life, for which he gained popularity among fans in the countries of the former USSR.

But at the same time, sarcastic criticism led to Zadornov being banned from entering the United States, which he also skillfully turned into another joke.

His speeches always contained a dose of irony and subtle humor. The artist ridiculed daily life Russians, clumsily made advertising and foreign words used with or without purpose.

Medical history

Since 2016, when it became known about the comedian’s terrible illness, his fans have flooded Zadornov with letters, wishing him a speedy recovery. No one believed that a person who could make even the gloomiest person laugh was unable to defeat cancer.

But, tired of exhausting procedures that did not bring the desired result, but only weakened the body, the comedian decided to stop treatment, which had turned into real torture for him.

Mikhail Zadornov, 2017

Mikhail Zadornov died surrounded by his family; the cause of death was a cancerous brain tumor.

Fans learned that he began having health problems in October 2016. During the performance, Zadornov had a seizure, which forced him to interrupt the concert. Called doctors, arriving at the scene, convinced Mikhail that he needed urgent hospitalization.

After examinations and diagnostics, he was given a terrible diagnosis and given hope that the treatment could bring results, and doctors could win several years of life for the patient.

Having canceled his summer concerts and decided that he would defeat cancer, Zadornov, together with his relatives, tried to find the best clinic where there was a high chance of recovery for patients.

After information leaked to the media that Mikhail Zadornov was undergoing treatment in Germany, the famous comedian asked journalists not to create a fuss around his person.

Chemotherapy was successful and gave positive results. After some time, Mikhail Zadornov began to feel much better. Fans waited with bated breath for news about how the treatment was progressing, and had no doubt that everything would end well. After all, the 7th decade, for the presenter healthy image The life of a person who constantly laughs and smiles is not such a big date.

But at the end of September it became known that his health began to deteriorate, and his body could no longer cope with the disease, and the chemicals greatly depleted his body. After the treatment in Germany was completed, Zadornov went for rehabilitation after chemotherapy to a clinic near Moscow, where he was provided with one of the best wards, in which a nurse was regularly on duty.

After the cause of death became known, Orthodox Church announced that the satirist had gathered in the city of Moscow. Many fans of the famous humorist were amazed to the core that a man who accepted paganism and openly announced it 10 years ago suddenly became a Christian.

According to the church, they provided this information by agreement with the relatives. Whether this is true or fiction is anyone's guess.

The satirist's family

It is known that Mikhail Zadornov was married only once, in 1971. His chosen one was Velta Yanovna Kalnberzina, an ambitious beauty and the daughter of a famous Latvian politician. Mikhail had to achieve his future wife, still unknown to the world, by all possible means, showing ingenuity and originality.

But even though we achieve beautiful woman It wasn’t easy, the ice was broken from her heart and they started dating, and then they got married and lived in a happy marriage for almost ten years.

Mikhail Zadornov really wanted children, but, unfortunately, examinations showed that his wife was infertile and could not please her husband with the news of pregnancy. This greatly upset the spouses and brought some coldness into their relationship. Family life satirist and his beautiful wife went awry.

The reason for the break in relations was Zadornov’s career, which rapidly went uphill. Regular absences from home and traveling around the world did not please his woman, who wanted her husband to pay more attention to her.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Zadornov began an affair with Elena Bombina, whom he met at one of his performances. The girl was 16 years younger than the popular satirist, which caused many condemning comments from the comedian’s relatives and friends.

Despite a long relationship and living in a civil marriage, Elena never became his official wife. And in 1990, Bombina gave birth to Zadornov’s beautiful daughter, whom her parents named Elena. Taking her father’s surname and inheriting his talent for acting, the girl entered the Academy of Theater Arts.

Zadornov loved his daughter very much and constantly took part in her upbringing. He collected for her a huge and varied library and taught her to love books.

The satirist tried to diversify his daughter’s leisure time and raise her to be smart and erudite. We can safely say that he succeeded in this to the fullest.

Zadornov with his wife and daughter

When his legal wife found out that Zadornov had a second family and a child, she was very upset, but did not start a scandal. Velta Yanovna was amazed that her husband was cheating on her, but at the same time she was glad that his dream of becoming a dad had finally come true.

When it was no longer necessary to hide his daughter from his legal wife, Zadornov began to take his daughter Elena with him on trips around the world, showing her the sights of Russia and other countries. Together they traveled to African countries, vacationed in the United Arab Emirates, walked through romantic Vienna and plunged into the equally charming romance of Paris, and also visited Israel and beautiful Greece.

Mikhail Zadornov wanted to give his daughter a colorful world full of interesting impressions and events, bringing her most cherished desires to life, but he could not fully achieve what he wanted before his death, since he died due to a banal reason - cancer.

“In a battle with the enemy, she killed 15 soldiers and one officer with a machine gun, killed four soldiers with a rifle butt, recaptured the commander and eight soldiers from the Germans, captured the enemy’s machine gun and machine guns,” is how Maria Baida’s main feat is briefly and dryly described in the award list.

But a simple native of the Crimean village of Novy Chuvash became famous not only for this: as a sanitary instructor, she pulled dozens of soldiers and commanders of the Red Army out of bullets and saved them from certain death.

From orderlies to scouts

Before the war, Maria worked in a hospital, and from the first days of the attack she went to the front as a volunteer. There she was first a nurse and medical instructor, received the rank of senior sergeant, and participated in the heroic defense of Sevastopol.

It was then that the girl developed a desire to become a scout, and not just save the lives of our soldiers, but also openly fight the enemy, destroying him to the best of her modest strength and capabilities.

Maria fought quite successfully, more than once she went beyond the front line and brought “tongues”. On June 7, 1942, when the Germans launched another assault on Sevastopol, the reconnaissance company in which Baida served was thrown into battle. We had to fight in conditions of shortage of ammunition.

The girl left the trench more than once to pick up weapons from killed enemies. During one of these raids, she was wounded and shell-shocked by a grenade that exploded nearby.

15 soldiers and one officer

Maria came to her senses in the evening, when the Germans had already broken through the section of the front protected by the reconnaissance company. She and 9 soldiers from her platoon were captured - all wounded or shell-shocked.

Immediately assessing the situation, Maria made the only right decision and, jumping up, picked up the machine gun lying nearby. Several enemy soldiers were cut off on the spot by a long burst.

Taken by surprise, the Germans did not immediately realize that they were being attacked by a shell-shocked and wounded girl, and tried to escape, believing that they were attacked by superior enemy forces.

When the cartridges ran out, Maria, grabbing the machine gun like a baton, entered into hand-to-hand combat. The battle, which lasted literally a few moments, ended in the unconditional victory of the young intelligence officer. 15 enemy soldiers and an officer lay on the ground, and the prisoners, led by Baida, went to their own.

Further combat path

For her feat, the girl was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. She found out about this while in a hospital bed. But she did not undergo further treatment and fled to the front. True, she did not have to fight for long - already at the beginning of July the city fell, and Maria was captured. Her ordeal in the camps continued for almost three years. The girl was released only on the eve of Victory Day.

Mikhail Zadornov's illness

In October 2016, Mikhail Zadornov was forced to cancel some of the concerts planned for autumn and winter and withdraw from the Saltykov-Shchedrin Show project on the NTV channel. The reason was serious condition Zadornov's health. “I really have to cancel some concerts until the New Year. First of all, those that are far from Moscow and require flights and long, difficult journeys. Unfortunately, a very serious illness has been discovered in the body, which is characteristic not only of age. It is necessary to treat immediately,” the writer commented latest news about health on the social network VKontakte, without specifying what kind of disease he was diagnosed with.

Zadornov reported where he is now, explaining that he will undergo treatment in one of the best clinics in the Baltics. “I warn journalists: it is useless to call me, it is useless to look for me. And it is unlikely that this clinic will answer you anything specific about me. There is also no point in calling my relatives. I didn’t really tell them anything either,” said the 68-year-old comedian.

Later, Zadornov denied rumors that he had incurable lung cancer and advised not to believe the “reliable newspapers” that write about this. The writer also had to “justify” the fact that he was receiving treatment in Latvia. “And now about the criticism, they say, Zadornov stigmatizes the EU, but he himself went there for treatment. Let me explain: there are doctors there who have been seeing me for many, many years. But I’ve been living for a long time. And these doctors preserved the best of Soviet medicine, and did not completely comply with the EU protocol,” Mikhail Zadornov responded to his critics.

Despite his serious health condition, Mikhail Zadornov did not stop his concert activities. On October 22, Zadornov was hospitalized after he became ill during a performance at the Moscow Meridian concert hall. Because of the incident, the concert was interrupted, the artist was helped off stage into the dressing room, after which an ambulance was called.

A few days later, the writer’s relatives told where Mikhail Zadornov is now. After an unsuccessful performance, the satirist went to a sanatorium, where he felt better and began to work.

In February 2017, Zadornov’s friend Vladimir Kachan said that the writer underwent a brain biopsy in Germany in December. “He is now in the rehabilitation department. Doctors don’t give any forecasts yet, they say: “Everything is going as usual!” Hospital treatment is expensive. There are no questions about money yet,” Kachan said.

The writer’s friend Maxim Zabelin said that Mikhail Zadornov wanted to leave the hospital to attend the filming of the film “Once Upon a Time in America, or...” according to his script. In the summer of 2017, Zadornov is scheduled to play the role of Donald Trump in this film.

The latest news about Mikhail Zadornov’s health was not encouraging; for example, many media outlets reported in the summer of 2017 that Zadornov refused to continue treatment, said goodbye to friends in Russia and decided to stay in Jurmala among people close to him.

With reference to an unnamed friend of the satirist, the news reported that Mikhail Zadornov has brain cancer, treatment has not helped and the writer is “melting before our eyes.” Mikhail Zadornov’s assistant and secretary Elena Zavarzina denied this news about his health. Numerous fans of his talent followed the latest news about Zadornov’s condition, wishing the writer health.

In October, Zadornov personally dispelled rumors about his health and “inadequate” treatment for brain cancer. According to him, everything that is written in the press about his physical condition upsets him. Especially when famous people they talk about going to visit the artist, helping with treatment and “bringing rare medicines prepared in secret laboratories according to recipes found at the UFO crash site.”

In November 2017, Archpriest Andrei Novikov reported that “at the request of relatives and friends, he administered unction to Mikhail Nikolaevich Zadornov.” “Two months ago, Mikhail Nikolaevich brought repentance to God in the sacrament of confession in the Kazan Cathedral in Moscow. He passes through this most difficult period of his life as having been reconciled with the Holy Church Orthodox Christian. I ask for prayers for God’s servant Michael, including, may the merciful Lord forgive him for his years of shocking flirtation with paganism,” the news quoted the archpriest’s Facebook page as saying that producer Joseph Prigogine considers the death of the famous Russian satirist Mikhail Zadornov a grave loss for the country.

In turn, singer and composer Igor Nikolaev called Zadornov’s decision to return to Orthodoxy before his death a wise step.

There were also people who wanted to promote themselves on the topic of the writer’s death. So the satirical writer Evgeny Shestakov said that Mikhail Zadornov wanted to order texts from him in order to then publish them under his own name.

“About ten years ago. Zhenya Viktorovich Shestakov is visiting Mikhail Nikolaevich Zadornov. Who invited him to offer to write texts for him. Which will be published under the name of Mikhail Nikolaevich Zadornov, and Zhenya will receive $500 for each. Zhenya refused. 2 witnesses. The sweets and tea were quite good,” the news quoted Yevgeny Shestakov’s Facebook post as saying.

In the comments under the writer’s message, musician Yuri Loza stood up for Zadornov, writing: “He honestly offered, you refused. What's wrong? He didn’t steal your reprises.”

Those close to the satirist noted that Mikhail Zadornov had a very ironic attitude towards publicity and always protected his own life and the lives of his relatives from the intrusive interference of others. “We ask that you respect his wishes not to make a fuss about his death. We did not give our consent to anyone for public discussions of his life and death in various talk shows and other television programs, in print media and on the radio,” an appeal from the family of the writer Zadornov was published in the news.

On the afternoon of November 15, Mikhail Zadornov was buried next to his father in Jurmala, Latvia, at the Yaundubulti cemetery. The ceremony was attended by relatives and close friends of Mikhail Nikolaevich. The writer's funeral service took place in the Alexander Nevsky Church in Riga. When the car with the artist’s body left the cathedral territory, it was surrounded by Zadornov’s fans. Many could not hold back their tears; the car was seen off with long applause.

Today, November 10, 2017, the death of the writer became known. The illness of the famous satirist Mikhail Zadornov became known at the end of last year. Doctors diagnosed brain cancer.

An evening in memory of Mikhail Zadornov will be held in Chelyabinsk

On Wednesday, December 13th, at Central Library named after Pushkin, an evening in memory of Mikhail Zadornov will be held in Chelyabinsk - the meeting will be hosted by blogger, member of the Poetry Wednesday club Alexey Borovikov, reports the correspondent of the Access News Agency.

The exhibition “The Zadornovs: Father and Son” will introduce guests to the publications and works of two famous writers.

Mikhail Zadornov liked to position himself not only as a satirist writer, but also as an amateur philologist, amateur historian, and also an author of documentaries. In memory of Mikhail Zadornov, a poignant documentary-revelation “To my father to the ends of the earth”, the basis of which was a journey to places glorified by the work of his father - Nikolai Zadornov, author historical novels about the development of Siberia and the Far East by Russian pioneers in the 19th century.

Let us recall that Mikhail Zadornov passed away on November 10, 2017 after a long battle with brain cancer. The satirist was 69 years old.

A terrible photo of a changed Zadornov in a coffin

The artist shrunk and turned into a very old man. The oncologist explained what happened.

11 days have passed since the death of the satirist writer Mikhail Zadornov. Let us remind you that not everyone was able to say goodbye to him - the family held a chamber ceremony “for loved ones” in the Moscow region, and not everyone could go to the funeral service in Latvia, where the artist wished to rest in peace.

Relatives claim that Zadornov treated his popularity with irony, and therefore did not want to make a social event out of his farewell. But, probably, the matter is different: during the fight against a brain tumor, the writer lost a lot of weight, and the family did not want Mikhail Nikolaevich to be seen like this. Indeed, judging by the photographs that appeared in Express Newspaper, it was difficult to recognize the satirist in the body lying in the coffin.

They often say about cancer patients: “The cancer ate him.” And in the case of Zadornov, you are horrified at how an incurable disease disfigures a person. Sunken cheeks, a pointed nose, an elongated face - in the coffin, the 69-year-old artist looked like a 90-year-old withered old man.

Dni.Ru

During his last public appearance in October 2016, Mikhail Nikolaevich already looked unwell - he had lost a lot of weight, it was noticeable that his hands were shaking a little, and sometimes he dropped pieces of paper with prepared jokes. The comedian had to bend down and pick them up - and every time the audience applauded encouragingly. “Now I know how to earn success,” the artist laughed at himself.

Just two years ago, with a height of 176 centimeters, he weighed 74 kilograms. But in recent months illness, as his relatives say, he lost 20 kilograms, and his appearance was terrifying. “With cancer, a person begins to lose a lot of weight, about 11-16% per month,” said Dni.Ru oncologist. – The fact is that the development of oncological formation makes the body work faster, that is, it accelerates metabolism, which is responsible for the rate of conversion of food into energy. Chemicals, called cytokines, affect the functioning of normal cells. High levels of cytokines caused by cancer interfere with the metabolism between fats and proteins. This leads to loss of muscle mass and also affects the cranial center of the brain, which controls hunger.”

“For me he was a senior comrade” - The last muse of Mikhail Zadornov

Zadornov's last muse was actress Marina Orlova. Actress, singer, screenwriter, composer and producer, and also the last muse of Mikhail Zadornov: all this is about 31-year-old Marina Orlova, who worked with the satirist in lately.

The passing of Mikhail Zadorny attracted attention to another person - his muse Marina Orlova. The 31-year-old actress, who became famous thanks to TV series on TNT and STS, recent years I worked a lot with the satirist. “Gazeta.Ru” is about Zadornov’s ally.

After the death of Mikhail Zadornov, the media, despite the requests of the artist’s family, could not resist the hype - a figure too important for the Russian stage had left. Actress Marina Orlova, who is called the satirist’s last muse, suddenly attracted special attention.
The 31-year-old artist - singer, screenwriter, producer and composer - has worked with Mikhail Zadornov over the past years, performing with him on stage and participating in tours. They met in 2013 on the initiative of a satirist. Having heard a song performed by Orlova on the radio, Zadornov called her and offered to work together. “We sang in his humorous concerts. Mikhail Nikolaevich made my dream come true. He was my real, great, smart friend, whom I will miss,” Orlova shared her memories in an interview.

Despite the fact that the majority of the public knows Marina as an actress in youth TV series, her musical talent manifested itself much earlier than her acting talent - Orlova began to sing even before she began to speak. At the age of three, she already wrote her first song “Lullaby” (which 20 years later she performed in the TV series “Native People”).

IN school years interest in music began to manifest itself even more actively. The future actress preferred the assembly hall, where she could perform songs, to changes with classmates own composition. At one of these concerts, the director of a music school once noticed her, after which he took Marina to his music school without exams in the middle of the school year.

It became known what Zadornov asked his relatives before he stopped speaking and lost consciousness

As it turned out, the satirist had amnesia for several weeks; he did not recognize his relatives, who were constantly nearby. The last week before his death, Zadornov could not speak, then he completely lost consciousness.

A friend of the family told what Mikhail Zadornov’s dying will was, Rossiyskiy Dialog reports with reference to KP. “Shortly before leaving, Zadornov said that he wanted to go to Jurmala.

I told my relatives: they say, we tried everything possible in treatment - nothing helps. I just want to live out as long as God wills, next to you, and not within hospital walls,” said an employee of the clinic where I spent last days life writer-humorist.

Relatives intended to fulfill the last will of the patient, but due to a sharp deterioration in his health, they were unable to take him home.

Farewell to Mikhail Zadornov: Both wives of the satirist saw him off on his last journey

Early in the morning, in the Alexander Nevsky Church on Brivibas Street in Riga, farewell to Mikhail Zadornov began. At first, anyone could go into the church and say the last “forgive and farewell” to the person loved by many people. From 11 to 12 am the temple was closed so that relatives and friends could be with him without witnesses. Then the doors opened again. Of course, both wives of Mikhail Nikolaevich were in the hall.

First wife, 69-year-old Velta Yanovna Kalnberzina, whom he married in 1971. And 53-year-old Elena Bombina, who became the writer’s muse and in 1990 gave birth to his daughter, Elena. The relationship between the two women was smooth - they did not intersect, and they did not throw scenes of jealousy at each other. The press reported that common grief They were united and hand in hand they took care of the ill Mikhail Nikolaevich. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that when they said goodbye to the man they loved, they were together.

About a thousand people came to say goodbye to Mikhail Zadornov. While people were waiting for the temple doors to open, tea and coffee were poured for them so that they could warm up. Among those who came we saw the mayor of Riga Nil Ushakov, businessman Alexander Shekman, local deputies and entrepreneurs.

Mikhail Zadornov's sister, Lyudmila Nikolaevna, held out last bit of strength. The woman's neighbors told us that she was very depressed. Almost all her life she lived with her mother. She died about fifteen years ago, and so did her brother. When the ambulance arrived at the church, they whispered that Lyudmila Nikolaevna had become ill.

After saying goodbye, loved ones went to the Jurmala cemetery on a special bus to say last words Mikhail Zadornov. The writer will be buried next to his parents.

Enraged Panin took revenge for Zadornov

Scandalous famous actor Alexey Panin decided to take revenge on Mikhail Zadornov’s offenders. He sharply responded to video blogger Yuri Khovansky.

The artist called the Internet star an idiot and a nonsense. In this way he reacted to the blogger’s provocative statements about the death of the famous satirist. “Some pet guy from the ass of Leningrad is sitting with a bottle of beer and talking about Mikhail Nikolaevich. Who the f*** are you, nonsense? Where is Zadornov and where are you? And the worst thing is that these people have their own audience and have access to the media space,” Panin was indignant during a live broadcast on the Hype application, life.ru reports.

The actor said that Khovansky just wants to promote himself on the death of a celebrity. Panin admitted that he learned about the blogger precisely after his offensive statements about Mikhail Zadornov. The artist assures that he had never heard anything about the popular Internet figure before. Let us remember that earlier Dni.Ru wrote that Khovansky allowed himself to insult the deceased satirist several times. On his Twitter, he wrote that he does not feel sorry for Zadornov at all. According to the blogger, the artist was engaged in propaganda of hatred.

“Khokhols, gays, Americans, liberals - he considered everyone subhuman and harshly dismissed them, passing them off as jokes. So the little god “joked” at Michal Nikolaich - all according to the facts,” Khovansky said. When the blogger’s subscribers began to point out to him that such phrases were unacceptable, he began to justify himself: “The point was not that I was mocking death, but that I refused to show empathy towards a person who experienced this very empathy extremely selectively . In response to the misfortunes of the same crests or Americans, he always grinned and said: “they deserved it themselves.” So he deserves it."

Khovansky did not stop there, and began to say unpleasant things about journalists. The blogger claimed that the media distorted his words and cast him in an unfavorable light. “It’s funny to see how the media rushed to selectively quote my tweet about Zadornov’s death. In fact, they are making me out to be an Instagram model who smiled during a selfie and wrote that she doesn’t feel sorry for anyone,” Khovansky was indignant on his Twitter.

Famous showman and resident " Comedy Club“I was very outraged by the opus of journalist Yuri Soprykin, which was published half an hour after the death of the satirist Mikhail Zadornov. Soprykin named Zadornov, who was greatly influenced by Russia's clash with the West, as the author of one theme. That is why Zadornov, in his speeches, ridiculed the Americans and extolled the ingenuity of the Russian people. Slepakov praised journalist Soprykin for his efficiency, toughness, bitingness, and also for the content of the article. Because it is very easy to criticize a person who cannot answer.

Zadornov never joked vulgarly and he did not ridicule the Americans, but told how Russian people tenacious, finding himself in the most difficult living conditions. Slepakov says that Zadornov was not trolling the Americans, but us. However, he did it in such a way that it would not offend us.

Of course, the Americans also got it well, but the satirist turned out to be wrong here, because America is ours.” guiding star", a sacred cow that cannot be touched at all. And here only a narrow-minded person could think that Zadornov is proud of the fact that Russian residents store onions in tights.

Semyon Slepakov also noted that Mikhail Nikolaevich’s humor was of high quality, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that he borrowed some ideas. The main thing here was the presentation, because many tried to do the same thing, but it turned out not funny at all.

Fans are outraged by the actions of Zadornov’s relatives

Not everyone will be able to say goodbye to the satirical writer. Relatives do not want noise and prying eyes.

Farewell by the satirical writer Mikhail Zadornov is scheduled for 13:00 on Sunday, November 12. But not everyone will be able to pay their last respects to the artist. And this greatly angers the artist’s fans.

There are a lot of decent halls in Moscow where the coffin could be displayed - the House of Writers on Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street. Variety Theater on Bersenevskaya Embankment. Zadornov visited and spoke there more than once. But the relatives chose the ritual hall of the morgue of the private Medsi clinic, located in the Moscow region, for their farewell. From the final metro station you still need to get there by minibus.

However. Even if you manage to get there, they are unlikely to be allowed into the hall itself - the clinic, as they say, is heavily guarded. Relatives wished that only a narrow circle of people – the closest and relatives – would be present. Journalists will not be allowed to attend the funeral ceremony. They say that Zadoronov treated his popularity with irony and therefore there is no need to make a social event out of his farewell. In addition, during his illness he changed a lot, lost weight, and his relatives do not want Mikhail Nikolaevich to be seen like this.

After the funeral service, Zadornov’s body will be transported exclusively by land, as he wanted, to Latvia. There the writer will be sung in the Church of St. Alexander Nevsky in Riga. In this very temple in which the satirist was baptized 30 years ago. Zadornov will be buried in his native Jurmala in his father’s grave. This was the last wish of the satirist.

“The mouthpiece of the era”: how Russia says goodbye to Zadornov

“Part of our culture”: how fans said goodbye to Mikhail Zadornov

Fans were able to say goodbye to the writer Mikhail Zadornov, despite the closed nature of the ceremony, which took place on Sunday, November 12, in one of the clinics near Moscow. The farewell itself was quiet and modest, as the writer’s family wanted. Meanwhile, passions are already boiling in the Russian media space over how to evaluate literary heritage famous satirist.

During a closed farewell ceremony for Mikhail Zadornov, which took place today in one of the Moscow clinics, fans gathered near the building were allowed to say goodbye to the artist.

About a hundred people came to the hospital building. According to RIA Novosti, people had to wait at least an hour and a half - a representative of the artist’s family first told those present that, at the request of Mikhail Nikolaevich himself and his family, the ceremony would be held behind closed doors.

According to the satirist’s relatives, Zadornov “was ironic about publicity” and always protected the lives of loved ones from “other people’s annoying interference.”

On official page Zadornov, a message from his family was published on the VKontakte social network: “You all know about Mikhail’s ironic attitude towards publicity. He always protected his and our lives from the annoying interference of others. We ask that you respect his wishes not to make a fuss about his death,” the post reads.

Also, Mikhail Zadornov’s relatives emphasized that they did not give consent to “public discussions of his life and death in various talk shows and other television programs, in print media and on radio.”

The event turned out to be closed not only to fans of Zadornov’s talent and creativity, but also to journalists - security did not allow the press to enter the farewell ceremony.

The ceremony lasted almost two hours.

After friends and relatives said goodbye to the artist, fans were allowed to honor the memory of the deceased.

The open part of the ceremony, at the request of the relatives, was very modest and took about 20 minutes, ITAR-TASS reports. Those who came laid flowers at the photograph of Mikhail Zadornov, after which the hall was closed and everyone was asked to leave the territory of the hospital complex.

“For me, he was such a person who sank into my heart. He was always close to the people, understood the problems, presented them in a satirical form, and did not offend anyone. He was the people's favorite. Probably no one else will have such humor. “I considered it my duty to come here,” one of the admirers of Zadornov’s work, a young man named Mikhail, told RIA Novosti.

Fans' desire to see each other last time with the artist it was expected.

In cases where we are talking about the death of a person of this magnitude, the farewell ceremony is usually held in the Central House of Writers: in April they were seen off here in last path poet Evgeny Yevtushenko, in May - journalist and blogger Anton Nosik, in July - film critic Daniil Dondurei.

Unlike the satirist’s devoted fans who came to the hospital building, representatives of the creative community reacted to Zadornov’s death differently.

Thus, the famous journalist Yuri Saprykin called Zadornov the author of one topic.

“He was overcome by the trauma of a collision with the West, not military, but psychological, the shock of “going on a trip abroad.” There are 100 varieties of sausage, the streets are washed with shampoo, the entrances are clean and the light bulbs are on,” Saprykin wrote in his article.

According to him, the satirist’s mockery of Russian crookedness “is replaced by admiration for Russian ingenuity - the conventional “Americans” who fanatically follow instructions and laws look dull compared to her.”

Saprykin also recalls one dialogue from an old story in the magazine “Yunost”: “How a patient in a mental hospital imagines that he is being interviewed as an intelligence officer: “Do you speak the language? - Perfect! “You will stick stamps on envelopes!” “It looks very much like a brief summary of all Zadornov’s “geopolitical research”,” the journalist writes.

For his part, the author of humorous songs and Comedy Club star Semyon Slepakov reacted sharply to Saprykin’s article, expressing the opinion that the journalist hardly understands Zadornov’s jokes.

"Well done. First of all, quickly. Secondly, it’s biting, tough and meaningful. Without any snot there. Died? Well, here you go!” - Slepakov wrote on his Facebook page.

According to him, “Zadornov was a really cool satirist.” “His concerts were an event that gathered the whole country in front of the screens and eight years ago, on the hundredth repeat, they gave good ratings to the Ren-TV channel.” He wasn't vulgar. He was witty. He had the coolest serve. He wrote huge amount quality material. He was very different from his fellow comedians, whose names I will not take in vain,” the actor noted.

Slepakov clarified that Zadornov criticized the United States in the 90s, when “Russia “terribly wanted” to be friends with the Americans, and they “had fun... on our heads.” According to the comedian, “maybe it’s not because of people like Zadornov that we have problems, but because we don’t at all appreciate what we have? This is part of our culture, after all. Not Gogol, of course, but the mouthpiece of the era.”

“It’s somehow hard for me to imagine that after the death of George Carlin, an article like this would be published about him in America. The only good news is that after the death of Yuri Saprykin, no article will be published at all, unless, of course, he commits a suicide bombing in a crowded place. God forbid. I apologize for the harshness,” Slepakov wrote.

The post caused a mixed reaction from users: some remembered Zadornov’s unsuccessful performances, others thanked Slepakov for defending the satirist.

Mikhail Zadornov died at the age of 70. For a long time he was treated for cancer. According to the will, Zadornov's body will be delivered to Latvia, where he will be buried in the grave of the satirist's father - at the Jaundubult cemetery in Jurmala.

Subtle irony made him the most popular and recognizable comedian in the Soviet Union, whose monologues did not stop even for the President’s New Year’s greetings, but with the beginning of the 2000s his popularity began to fade.

Public opinion: Zadornov was the most effective remedy against the depression of the 1990s

Writer and satirist Mikhail Zadornov died at the age of 70 after a long battle with cancer. Social network users and colleagues remember the comedian.

Evgeny PETROSYAN, comedian, TV presenter: Mikhail Nikolaevich Zadornov is a unique phenomenon in the genre of humor. Besides being one of the wittiest people in the genre, I believe he was a philosopher of humor who helped people practically navigate life.

His humor helped us understand the meaning of the current moment in one area or another of our lives. As an artist he is not dead, he will remain for many decades to come useful people, so he will live.

Semyon ALTOV, writer, satirist: I remember the time when we were close. They performed together and acted in films. He was a man with enormous energy. None of us, people working in this genre, had it. He gave his energy to people. Millions of people. It's probably over.

Nikolai KAMNEV, businessman, blogger: It’s interesting that by the time Mikhail Zadornov left, Russia had become in many everyday features similar to the West, which struck him 30 years ago, and American institutions really look lackluster. Happy memory. To a man and satirist whom I remember from the time of the “Around Laughter” program with Ivanov.

Mikhail KOVALEV, political analyst: The greatest merit of the satirist Zadornov was the fight against the curse “Russia is for the sad.” He put his personal “I” into this, not just his acting one.

Emma LAVRINOVICH, director of the Oktyabrsky Concert Hall: We worked with Mikhail Nikolaevich for a very long time. We had unique story, when we held creative meetings with Zadornov for several years in a row, every month.

When we offered him this format, he was very surprised: “How is this? Once a month? Will there be spectators?!” I answered: “Don’t worry, Mikhail Nikolaevich! I feel like they will..."

And once a month he came to St. Petersburg, always drawing full houses. Very, very sorry. You can’t help but think that the best of the best are leaving. And it's very sad.

By the way, when coming to St. Petersburg, even on his own personal matters, Mikhail Nikolaevich still called our administrators. And we booked him a hotel, met him... In general, we always found time to chat with him.

Alexey BOGOSLOVSKY, blogger: We all knew that he was dying of cancer. The death was not unexpected. It's still a shame that he passed away. We are used to having someone to turn to us, make us laugh with our jokes, talk about the serious problems of life, but now he is gone. Zadornov was a phenomenon in the Soviet and later Russian stage, and a self-sustaining phenomenon that could not be closed by denying it other people’s texts. He had his own texts, his own images, his own thoughts.

Therefore, any attempts to compare him, for example, with Khazanov, simply humiliate Zadornov. For the last two decades, he, in fact, was the only satirist and humorist; the rest of those vying for the first row (except for the murdered anti-corruption fighter Evdokimov) simply became shriveled and cringed under the pressure of perestroika. It’s hard to remain human and be in the forefront at the same time in our time, but Zadornov managed to do it.

Egor KHOLMOGOROV, publicist: It seems that he was the only one of the galaxy of late Soviet satirists who belonged to the national majority: moreover, he was the son of a famous Soviet writer, author of novels about Nevelsky and Muravyov-Amursky.

Descendants will undoubtedly appreciate his role both in the devastating ridicule of Soviet reality and in to a greater extent– in the formation of Putin’s anti-American consensus.

His “Well, Americans are stupid” was perhaps the most effective remedy against the nationwide Russian depression of the 1980s–1990s. After Zadornov’s ridicule of the Americans, ordinary TV viewers wanted to live again, and to live in Russia.

Then he became interested in Rodnoverie, encouragement and folk etymology. The latter was a shame, but in search of the ancestral home of Rurik, although I am skeptical about encouragement, there is nothing wrong with it, on the contrary, it is very useful.

Zadornov died as a good Orthodox Christian, having received unction and communion. May the Lord rest him in peace, not punish him for his sins and reward him for his good deeds, in particular for putting his ambiguous talent at the service of the Russian people.

Alexey ZHIVOV, public figure: The only Russian – that’s how I would call this outstanding writer, thinker, and humorist. Yes, Zadornov wrote books.

Where, in the midst of sparkling humor, the grin of the angry and sharp social philosophy of the Russian person always appeared. And these books are worth reading.

The inquisitiveness of Zadornov's Russian mind led the ship of his life to different harbors. He is the first and only one who shaped Russian civilizational discourse on the mass stage. He singled out our Russian specialness and difference into a sweet attractiveness that you can laugh at, but you can’t help but love.

Zadornov's life is love. Love for your father, for your homeland, for the Russian people. On Russian history.

Zadornov single-handedly encroached on Norman theory, again not as a dusty and unpopular historian, but as one of the most famous Russian humorists. And it caused a stir throughout the entire historical and cultural world.

Galkin spoke about his last meeting with Zadornov

According to Galkin, Zadornov called him a year ago and told him about the illness.

TV presenter Maxim Galkin spoke about last meeting with Mikhail Zadornov. The satirist said he wanted to say goodbye. Galkin wrote about this on his Instagram page.

“A year ago he called me and told me about his diagnosis, with a chuckle he said that he was calling everyone who was dear to him to talk and say goodbye, even in such moments he was true to himself,” Galkin wrote.

Galkin said that he had a personal meeting with Mikhail Zadornov about a month ago. Then Galkin visited him. According to the TV presenter, they talked and joked. Galkin added that Zadornov asked him to tell him something “funny” after his death, but, as the TV presenter noted, it’s hard to do that at such a moment.

A “farewell” video about Zadornov appeared online - If there is Russia, then I will be there too!

A touching “farewell” video about Russian comedian Mikhail Zadornov has appeared on the Internet.

A close friend of Mikhail Zadornov, Harry Polsky, published a touching “farewell” video about the artist. The video “White Snow is Coming” was posted by Polsky on his VKontakte page.

The video footage shows moments from the life of the Russian satirist. Also, Mikhail Zadornov himself in the video reads Yevgeny Yevtushenko’s poem “White Snows Are Coming.”

It is noted that the video also features Beethoven’s classic composition “Moonlight Sonata.” The Russian comedian performs it on the piano.

Mikhail Zadornov died on November 10 at the age of 69 after a battle with cancer. Farewell to the artist will take place on November 12, in Latvia.

Zadornov's family made an appeal

The report says that the satirist’s relatives “did not give their consent to anyone to publicly discuss his life and death in various talk shows and other television programs, in print media and on radio.

“Mikhail Nikolaevich is now above the clouds... I often thought that the old Soviet slogan could quite rightly be applied to him: “The mind, honor and conscience of our era.” A man who remained true to himself and his people, no matter what. There will be no more like them,” wrote Eugene Zhukov.

Mikhail Nikolaevich is now above the clouds... I often thought that the old Soviet slogan could quite rightly be applied to him: Mind, Honor and Conscience of our era. A man who remained true to himself and his people no matter what. There won't be any more like this. Alas #Zadornov pic.twitter.com/RjrwGTRz4O

Others recalled his most famous aphorisms and sayings.

“Without love in the heart, any dignity of a person turns into his disadvantage. For example, pride becomes arrogance, honor becomes arrogance, good manners becomes hypocrisy, and courage and bravery without love for people are simply dangerous for society.” M. Zadornov...Blessed memory!🙏 pic.twitter.com/1fDjDLBhYZ

Mikhail Zadornov became famous for his monologues ridiculing western image life, and comparisons of Westerners with Russians. Born in July 1948 in Jurmala. In 1974 he graduated from the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI), specialty - “mechanical engineer”. The same year he began publishing. For some time he worked at the institute as an engineer.

He was also the artistic director of the student propaganda theater of the Moscow Aviation Institute "Russia". Then he became the head of the satire and humor department at the Yunost magazine. He made his debut on television in 1982, but real popularity came to him two years later. Zadornov wrote more than ten books, among his works are lyrical and satirical stories, humoresques, essays, travel notes and plays. Winner of the Golden Calf and Ovation awards. Blogged on the Internet.

Condolences to the family and friends of the satirist were expressed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, Russian politicians and cultural figures.

Mikhail Zadornov, as his family reported, will be buried in Latvia.

The Internet condemned a blogger who rudely commented on Zadornov’s death

27-year-old video blogger and stand-up comedian Khovansky, who has more than four hundred thousand followers on Twitter, was criticized after he “commented” on the death of writer Mikhail Zadorny.

As the person named stated, he personally does not feel sorry for Zadornov, since the writer harshly ridiculed separate groups citizens - for example, Americans, Ukrainians and gays. Thus, according to the comedian, “in recent years, promoting only hatred.”

This position did not find understanding among some readers of Khovansky’s blog, who pointed out to the stand-up comedian that such statements are controversial. At the same time, some criticized the blogger in an extremely rude, expressive manner.

He then continued his thought with a number of posts. In particular, noting that it was “funny for him to watch how the media rushed to selectively quote” his “tweet” about Zadornov’s death. “Basically, exposing” him as “an Instagram model who smiled during a selfie and wrote that she didn’t feel sorry for anyone.”

As blogger Khovansky explained, the point was not that he was mocking death, but that he refused to “show empathy towards a person who experienced this very empathy extremely selectively.”

To which the blogger was immediately pointed out that he seemed to be starting to make excuses. And that kicking the dead is much safer than kicking the living. Some suggested that the blogger would also soon end badly - from cirrhosis of the liver.

Inspirer of the Nation: On the Death of Mikhail Zadornov

That is why Zadornov was so popular, and his jokes became proverbs. He was inspiring. He didn't lower it, he raised it. His humor was uplifting.

Mikhail Zadornov died. He died at the age of 69, the cause of death was a brain tumor, he refused treatment in June, deciding before his death to simply be with his family.

Is that all with the facts? All. Now - not about death, but about life.

As gray-haired old people remember, there was a time, back in the 90s, when there was neither a “Comedy Club” nor large-scale comedy shows like “ Ural dumplings"with a whole mobile theater, nor other, familiar to us, "producers of humor." And there was only KVN and comedians from the programs “Around Laughter” and “Laughter Panorama”, whose work was also distributed on audio cassettes. Who would think of listening to “Comedy Club”? I think there are few such brave souls. And then humor was different - related not to acting, but, first of all, to literature. And where there are words, there, in addition to playing with them, there will always be a place for meaning.

Zadornov understood this one hundred percent. And therefore he took a special place in that difficult time.

For example, with Petrosyan everything was clear - well, he is a humorist and a humorist: facial expressions, antics, winks, intonations. Even the verb arose “petrosyanit”. And Zadornov? A serious face, no antics, a voice that’s not that serious, but certainly not a clown’s. Yes, of course, it wasn’t the voice or the behavior – it was the texts themselves.

Probably, a strange thing happened with Zadornov, in our national spirit - on the one hand, he was, of course, a humorist, and on the other, a social philosopher or something. Someone who reflected on our identity - albeit using humor as a method for this. But, characteristically, it turned out very well: we all remember what a mixed feeling of shame and pride you feel when he lists “Only our people can think of this...”. In ten years, a phrase of this type will become an introduction to the series of “Our Russia”, but will lose its important emphasis - that resilient pride of savvy people who neither drown in water nor burn in fire will disappear from it. What will remain is only evil sarcasm without light irony.

But what else could we be proud of in the 90s - in time of troubles, when we, the people, the country, suddenly lost almost everything? Only because it didn’t kill us, didn’t bring us to our knees, didn’t make us whine and cry. Zadornov cheerfully said with every phrase: you won’t break us! We can’t swallow and digest anything like that! And it really boosted my self-confidence. That is why Zadornov was so popular, and his jokes became proverbs. He was inspiring. He didn't lower it, he raised it. His humor was uplifting. He argued: such a cheerful, inventive and restless people like ours cannot remain in distress for a long time. And they believed him! And many other comedians, by the way, did the opposite: boorishly poking around at the people’s shortcomings, diligently creating an image of the people as stupid, inert, and lazy.

And, of course, about “stupid Americans.” Those who remember those speeches by Zadornov in which he played on this topic will not let you lie: when he spoke of “stupid”, he did not mean idiots, imbeciles and fools, but simply ordinary, too straightforward and boring-minded people. And in contrast to them he brought out the image of the Russian “Ivan the Fool”, which for each difficult situation will find an extremely non-standard solution. Yes - crazy, yes - similar to “Hindu code” in programming, but workable! We cannot do otherwise - we have such a life that patterns, even the most correct ones, cannot be trusted, just like driving a miracle car on autopilot along our miracle roads.

And when the country rose from its knees, recovered from the shock of “wild capitalism” and gradually began to live better, Zadornov lost popularity. It’s logical: as a comedian, he was a “crisis manager.” The crisis is a thing of the past - and the uniqueness of his talent turned out to be no longer relevant.

It is probably necessary to mention in a few words about his “corrals” in the field of “non-traditional philology”. This, of course, will not be said in front of children - quiet horror. It is better not to remember this side of Mikhail Nikolaevich. But, in spite of everything, there was patriotism in this - extremely bizarre, of course, but still active and sincere. The man built his fantastic picture the world around native language and native land.

It's a shame that Zadornov became a victim of this deadly tumor. Already at the age of 60, he easily did the splits, was a fit, athletic person, cheerful and cheerful. He should live to be a hundred years old...

Sleep well, Mikhail Nikolaevich! You have done a lot of good!
