'''''KVN''''' (((lang-ru|КВН)), an abbreviation of ((lang|ru|Клуб весёлых и находчивых)), '''''Klub Vesyólykh i Nakhódchivykh''''' or ''Ka-Ve-En'', "Club of the Funny and Inventive [people]") is a Russian and formerly Soviet comedy television show and international competition in which teams compete by giving humorous answers and show prepared sketches. The show originated in the Soviet Union and is based on the earlier program ''An Evening of Funny Questions'' (((lang-ru | Вечер весёлых вопросов | translit = Vecher vesyolykh voprosov))). The program was first aired on [[Channel One Russia|the First Soviet Channel]] on 8 November 1961.<ref name="amik.ru">
[https://web.archive.org/web/20140701224034/http://www.amik.ru/page/4.html «С чего всё начиналось» на AMIK.RU]
</ref>((full|date=October 2022))

In 1972, Soviet censors, who found the students' impromptu jokes offensive and [[anti-Soviet]], banned ''KVN''. The show was revived in 1986 during the [[perestroika]] era, with [[Alexander Maslyakov]] as its host. It is one of the longest-running  programs on Russian television; its anniversary on 8 November is celebrated by ''KVN'' players every year since its inception and was widely celebrated for the first time in 2001.

During the perestroika era (((circa)) 1985-1991), KVN spread to Russian expatriate communities. In 1992, an Israeli team played against the [[Commonwealth of Independent States]] (CIS) team. The game became a success, and more international games followed: the CIS team visited Israel, Germany and the United States. In 1994, the first [[KVN World Festival]] was held in Israel; it featured four teams representing the United States, Israel, the CIS and Germany.

==Leagues and competitions==
((Refimprove|section|date=February 2023))

Groups of ''KVN'' teams were organized into several leagues, in which they annually competed for the League Champion title. To organize the movement, the ''KVN'' Union created a structure of regional and multi-regional arrangements of Leagues.<ref>[http://www.amik.ru/?page=league structure]</ref> The Major League and the Premier League are regularly broadcast on Russian television station [[Channel One Russia|Channel One]]. Other leagues were broadcast on local channels.((when|date=October 2022))<!--which years? --> The winner of the Major League (''Vysshaya Liga'' ((lang-ru|Высшая Лига))) is declared the Champion of the Club. There are other ''KVN'' competitions outside the leagues: the ''KVN'' Festival (KiViN) is held in [[Sochi]] each January and attracts hundreds of teams from around the world: this is where teams are arranged into leagues for the season; the Musical Festival, which is called "Singing KiViN" (''Golosyaschiy KiViN'', ((lang-ru|Голосящий КиВиН))), was held every July in [[Jūrmala]], Latvia; and has been held in [[Svetlogorsk, Kaliningrad Oblast]], Russia, since 2015. At the festival, teams compete to win prestigious prizes; the Summer Cup or Supercup is usually played in August every year, usually in Sochi, and only Major League champions are allowed to compete (with some exceptions: in 2003, when a team of famous ''KVN'' players competed, and in 2007, 2008 and 2010, when finalists were invited). A game called the Specproject (pronounced "Spetsproyekt") is held every November to celebrate ''KVN''(('s)) anniversary. Many places, both inside and outside the CIS, have leagues independent from the KVN Union and hold their own competitions.((cn|date=October 2022))

[[File:KVN host and producer Alexander Maslyakov.jpeg|thumb|Alexander Maslyakov hosts the Major League on 1 April 2013]]

KVN is a task-based team competition that is played in front of a live audience and a panel of judges. Typically, each team is asked to complete four or five themed assignments, such as:
* Mandatory
**Greeting (Privetstviye, ((lang-ru|Приветствие|links=no))): witty introduction of the team, humorous greeting to the jury and spectators.
**Warm-up (Razminka, ((lang-ru|Разминка|links=no))) is usually the second contest; a rapid exchange of funny questions and improvised answers, sometimes played against the audience, jury and the host.
**Musical Competition (Muzykalnyy Konkurs, ((lang-ru|Музыкальный конкурс|links=no))): the competing teams perform musical sketches, sing, play musical instruments and dance. Sometimes an alternative, shorter version called One Song-Contest (Konkurs Odnoy Pesni, ((lang-ru|Конкурс одной песни|links=no))) is played; players must use one melody throughout the competition.
* Optional
**STEM ("students' variety miniature theater") (((lang-ru|СТЭМ|links=no))): three performers from a team are allowed to be on stage simultaneously.
**Captains' contest (Kapitanskiy Konkurs, ((lang-ru|Капитанский конкурс|links=no))): individual competition between the team captains.
**Homework (Domashneye Zadaniye, ((lang-ru|Домашнее задание|links=no))): comedy sketches on a given topic; sometimes Musical Homework is played when there is no Musical Competition.
**BRIZ (Bureau of Rationalization and Invention) (((lang-ru|БРИЗ|links=no))): teams present an invention, a brief historical survey, movies, photo-albums or any type of new idea. It is also called a literature contest because it mainly consists of textual jokes.
**News Contest (Konkurs Novostey, ((lang-ru|Конкурс новостей|links=no))): similar to the BRIZ but focuses on strange and funny news items.
**Biathlon (((lang-ru|Биатлон|links=no))): a representative of each team "shoots" one or more jokes at the audience. The jury decides who leaves the "shooting range" until only two contestants remain and the jury chooses one winner who gets one point. In case of a draw the finalists receive 0.9 points each.
**Freestyle (((lang-ru|Фристайл|links=no))): a more-modern and freer version of the Greeting, in which the teams have no genre restrictions.
**Cinema Contest (Kinokonkurs, ((lang-ru|Киноконкурс|links=no))) involves contestants making a movie, a music video, a clip consisting of different video and audio pieces, or dubbing a well-known movie.

A panel of celebrity judges evaluates performances on wit, humor, production values and audience reaction, and declares a winner by awarding points to the teams. In the Premier League, the jury usually consists of famous KVN players.((cn|date=February 2023))

==Analysis of the content of KVN releases for the presence of political censorship==
The recognition of KVN as a political tool by the [[Allied Command Transformation#NATO Centres of Excellence|NATO StratCom Center for Strategic Communications]] became the reason for conducting a content analysis of KVN releases. Based on the results of a content analysis of political humor in four episodes of KVN from 23 October to 27 November 2016, in various formats, one with the participation of the [[President of the Russian Federation]], the following conclusions were drawn:
# The format and location of the game affect the nature of the content of political jokes.
# Jokes containing foreign policy themes construct a positive image of the state and Russia's superiority in the international arena, even if the situation differs from reality.
# In the anniversary release of KVN, which Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]] attended, political humor does not contain some of the relevant topics that were the subject of jokes earlier and were discussed on the Internet ([[2016 Russian legislative election|2016 State Duma elections]], corruption scandals, the dismissal of P. A. Astakhov, and calls for an abortion ban).
# Jokes contain ethnic and gender stereotypes.
# Jokes about domestic politics contain political correctness; as a rule, there are no specific characters in them except [[Vitaly Mutko]] and [[Alexei Kudrin]].
# The [[European Union]], the [[United States of America]], [[Barack Obama]], [[Hillary Clinton]], [[Angela Merkel]], [[Mikheil Saakashvili]], the political leadership of [[Ukraine]], the [[Western world|West]], [[Vitaly Mutko]], [[Alexei Kudrin]], the builders of the Zenit Arena, and the [[Police of Russia]] received a negative assessment in political humor.
# President of the Russian Federation Putin received a positive assessment and was portrayed in a heroic and mythological image.
# [[Donald Trump]], [[Ramzan Kadyrov]], [[Alexander Lukashenko]], and [[Alexander Zaldastanov|Alexander "The Surgeon" Zaldastanov]] also received a positive assessment.
# The main stereotypes of political humor are: the USA and the West are unfriendly to Russia, American politicians violate international law, and corruption in Russia is a problem only Putin can solve.
# The subtext in political humor: without Russia and Putin, it is impossible to solve global problems; [[International sanctions during the Russo-Ukrainian War|sanctions against Russia]] do not harm Russia; while Europe has a [[2015 European migrant crisis|migrant crisis]], Russia is doing well; officials and deputies should not fence themselves off from the people; the President should not be ashamed of the development of the regions; and [[United Russia]] has an advantage in the [[2016 Russian legislative election|upcoming elections]].

Based on the content analysis results, it was revealed that the political humor in KVN unquestioningly contains political censorship.<ref>((Cite web |url=https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/fenomen-politicheskogo-yumora-v-igrah-kvn-po-materialam-kontent-analiza |title=Феномен политического юмора в играх КВН: по материалам контент-анализа |trans-title=The phenomenon of political humor in KVN games: based on content analysis |last1=Pimenova |first1=Olga |last2=Kuzmina |first2=Olga |last3=Serova |first3=Anna |last4=Krokhalevsky |first4=Ilya |last5=Giniyatullina |first5=Margarita |access-date=2021-01-10 |archive-date=2021-01-12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210112030247/https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/fenomen-politicheskogo-yumora-v-igrah-kvn-po-materialam-kontent-analiza|url-status=live))</ref> In an interview with the Youtube channel Wanna Banana, the former leader of the SOK KVN team and ex-editor of the Higher League of KVN in 2017 spoke about the presence of censorship on stage and in editing.

According to the official website of KVN Union, the game has<ref>[http://www.amik.ru/?page=movement KVN Union]</ref>((full|date=October 2022)) over five million live viewers annually; more than 40,000 participants organized into more than 3,000 regularly competing teams from more than 100 cities.

For more than 20 years, television broadcasts of KVN games received the highest((quantify|date=October 2022)) ratings in Russia. The game is so popular politicians use it as an opportunity to gain extra points: [[Boris Yeltsin]], [[Vladimir Putin]] and [[Dmitry Medvedev]] attended games played before elections. The game of KVN helps in interstate relationships; the CIS–Israel game broadcast on 19 September 1992, helped improve relationships between the two countries—mostly on Russia's side. KVN became part of the culture and became a game of choice in Russian-speaking communities worldwide.((cn|date=October 2022))

In 2006, the president of the club [[Alexander Maslyakov]] received one of the highest awards from Vladimir Putin, the [[President of Russia]], for hosting the game for so many decades, at the end of the game dedicated to KVN's 45th anniversary.((cn|date=February 2023))

==International reach==
((Refimprove|section|date=February 2023))

Since perestroika opened Soviet borders for emigrants, KVN has reached Israel, Germany, Australia, Portugal, France, the United Kingdom, Vietnam and the United States. Many countries created their own teams, leagues and competitions. In 1992, the Israel team played against the CIS team. The game was a success and more international games followed; the CIS team visited Israel, Germany and the United States. In 1994, the first KVN World Festival was held in Israel with four teams from the United States, Israel, the CIS and Germany. This event attracted a new generation of players. Currently,((when|date=February 2023)) the American league includes more than 30 teams from universities, including  [[Harvard]], [[University of California, Berkeley|Berkeley]] and [[New York University]] (NYU),<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.kbhnyu.com/home.htm|title=NYU))</ref> the first League Champion. KVN Israel comprises two leagues with about 30 teams. The UK also has a prominent KVN community, with teams from a number of universities.
