Which of the artists are Jews. The most famous Jewish artists of Russia
For decades, only one nationality reigned on the Soviet stage.
Maryan BELENKIY - writer, translator, journalist, conversational artist. He is the author of the image and monologues of Aunt Sonya, who on the stage brilliantly embodied Klara NOVIKOVA. Since 1991, Maryan Davidovich has been living in Israel, but does not lose ties with Russia.
Maryan Davidovich, you say that Soviet humor was Jewish and Soviet mass song was Jewish ...
“I can repeat it again.” The basis of Soviet humor is the Sholom-Aleichem message "I feel good, I am an orphan." Few representatives of national minorities on the stage, in this case Russians, such as Trushkin, Koklyushkin, Zadornov, faked the same style: “Oh, how bad we are!” By the way, Sholom Aleichem is far from being the most popular writer in Israel. The humor there is completely different.
- Let's talk about the Soviet song. As you wrote: “Many songs over the Volga rattled, but the songs were not the same.” The correct chorus was ...
- ... the brothers Pokrass, Matvey Blanter, Isaac Dunaevsky, Sigismund Katz, Alexander Tsfasman, Leonid Utesov, Mark Bernes, Arkady Ostrovsky, Oscar Feltsman, Mark Fradkin, Jan Frenkel, Vladimir Shainsky, Jan Halperin, Arkady Khaslavsky ... this is not a complete list.
The Soviet pop song began with Jewish folk tunes. Remember Utesov’s hits “Hold the Style” and “Uncle Ale”. And Comrade Stalin liked it! Utesov took part in all New Year’s concerts in the Kremlin with the participation of Joseph Vissarionovich. The leader often asked me to repeat the songs.
- Comrade Stalin loved Jewish songs ?!
- Not Jewish, but Soviet. But which were created under strong influence. Interestingly, a Hasidic melody in Israel, a man of Russian culture recognizes on the go. This is a thieves, or, as they say now, “Russian chanson”. True, the texts are different. Once I asked a famous musicologist, associate professor of the Kiev Conservatory Vladimir Matvienko: “How can I explain that all thieves' folklore is sung in one melody?” He replied: “All Russian composers dragged a hippopotamus from a swamp. Thieves is the energy with which the hippopotamus flops back into the swamp. " Stalin, of course, was a lover of thieves folklore. After all, in his youth, he also hunted with banditry - he protected the oil fields in Baku.
- Recently, in the newspaper “Vzglyad” you published an analysis of the Soviet stage, which caused a great resonance. You write that the Russians in Israel are very surprised to hear in the synagogue a cantor (Khazan) who praises the Lord for the motive “Nightingales, nightingales, do not disturb soldiers”. Sorry, but the author of the song is Russian - Soloviev-Sedoy. What do you want to say?
- Nothing. Just that it is a popular cantor chant from the 19th century.
We need to arrange our own
- Let's remember once again who reigned on the stage in the 50s.
“For the young, these names are unlikely to say anything except, perhaps, Arkady Raikin.” Dykhovichny and Slobodskaya, Mass and Chervinsky, Vickers and Kanevsky, Mironova and Menaker, Mirov and Novitsky, Victor Ardov, Alexander Izrailevich Shurov (coupletist, partner Rykunin); founder of the Moscow Theater of Miniatures Vladimir Solomonovich Polyakov; authors of Raikin, Mark Azov and Vladimir Tikhvinsky ... However, the family has its black sheep. Somehow, Nikolai Smirnov-Sokolsky got involved in this company. The only Raikin author - not the Jew I know - is Sinakevich.
- 60s ...
- In the 60s, a new generation came to the Soviet pop humor through the program “Good morning!” From the satire and humor department of the All-Union Radio to Soviet pop humor: Gorin, Arkanov, Izmailov, Livshits and Levenbuk. 70s - Khazanov, Shifrin, Klara Novikova. In St. Petersburg, Semyon Altov and Mikhail Mishin began to write.
The programs “Merry Majority” and “Terem-Teremok” appeared on television, which are said to have been closed due to the abundance of non-indigenous people among authors and actors.
Three Jews stood at the origins of KVN: director Mark Rozovsky, doctor Albert Axelrod, host of the first KVN, actor Ilya Rutberg (Julia's father). You will laugh, but the first Soviet television KVN-49 was also invented by three Jews: Kenigson, Warsaw, Nikolaev.
- I already found them. Everywhere I go, Jews were sitting “on humor” - concert administrators, directors, editors of humor categories on radio programs, authors, actors, cashiers. There was still Ukrainian humor in Kiev, which was written by Ukrainian authors and performed by Ukrainian actors. And in Moscow in those years, the dominance of the Jews in this genre was almost one hundred percent. I do not give an assessment of this phenomenon, I only state what I witnessed. The only Jew in the polar town of Labytnangi, where we were brought on tour, turned out to be the administrator of the local philharmonic society named Ostrovsky. This was the legend about him:
“Richter arrives in a distant northern city with a single concert. At the end of the concert, Ostrovsky hands him a ticket ... to a reserved seat car. Two days to Moscow.
- Excuse me, I'm still Richter, - the great musician was indignant.
- Ay, do not fool your head. There are many Richters, and Ostrovsky alone. ”
I remember, back in the 80s, I went up to Lyon Izmailov - I’m supposed to be a pop artist, take me to concerts. He looked at me like a cockroach: "We need to arrange our own." Of their own? But I, after all, am also a Jew and also an author ... He meant Moscow.
All this was reminiscent of a children's game: members of one team hold hands tightly, the other try to break through this defense. Few succeeded in breaking through.
- Has anything changed in the 80s?
- The theme of sketches and monologues remained the same. The main thing is to keep the muzzle in your pocket, deceive censorship, play on a pause. Here is a classic move by which we cheated on censorship. This chip was invented by actor Pavel Muravsky in the 30s:
“Living in our country is getting worse and worse every day ...
(The hall gasps.)
A familiar speculator told me ...
(Sigh of relief.)
And he is right ...
(The hall gasps.)
Because the speculators in our country are really getting worse every day ... "
Three turns in one phrase. When this is written without pauses, the censor does not cut the chip.
Like Zhvanetsky: “And then flawed the flaws of the whole system ... the scientific organization of labor."
There are no more like Aunt Sonya
In the early 90s, a new team appeared. Lev Novozhenov was the editor of the humor department of Moskovsky Komsomolets, where Shenderovich, Irtenyev, Vishnevsky (and your humble servant, if anyone remembers) were published.
The paradox is that I, the author of this image, is far from enthusiastic about the image of Aunt Sonya created by Klara Novikova. I have never been a supporter of "Jewishness" - pedaling the Jewish accent, increased gestures, thumbs under the arms and other exaggerated signs of the image of a Jew. Aunt Sonya and Uncle Yasha remained in the distant past. Their time is irrevocably gone. We, residents of big cities - Jews by nationality and Russians by culture, already have nothing to do with that forever shtetl life. And I am categorically against pushing us there forcibly. Such as Aunt Sonya, you can no longer be found not only in Odessa, but even in Berdichev.
- In 1988, in one of the first "Full House" (which then went once a month, and not three times a day on all channels) on the Soviet stage for the first time in 70 years, a Russian man appeared. A simple guy from the Altai village. “Red muzzle” was remembered by everyone. The manner of performance, the subject of the texts, the appearance of Mikhail Evdokimov - all this was strikingly different from the traditional Jewish whining on the topic "How we feel bad here."
- But how did he break through with such a "Jewish conspiracy"?
- Evdokimova was shown on TV by Regina Dubovitskaya, who is not Jewish. Thank you very much for that. But she brought Arlazorov. And also Vetrov and Galtsev ...
Evdokimov wrote his first monologues himself, including The Red Muzzle. Then the Russian actor appeared and the Russian author - Evgeny Shestakov. The stylistics of his texts, themes, paradoxical humor are strikingly different from the stylistics of his predecessors. Shestakov uses elements of Russian folklore and the absurdity inherent in western music.
Today, Armenians are replacing Jews in Russian humor and, you will laugh, even Russians. Jewish rule in this genre is over. Fortunately or unfortunately, this is for you to judge.
