Koyuk recalled: “I was so exhausted and spent so many nights without sleep that one day I passed out right at the planning meeting in a room where 15 people were arguing, shouting over each other! .. It was a utopia - to think that three beginners could completely do the program, and the master will just come and sit in the chair of the presenter.

Most of the questions in the game are designed in such a way that even the most erudite experts cannot initially know the correct answer, however, in almost all questions, the correct answer can be guessed within a minute of discussion. Even among experts who give early answers, as a rule, experts themselves lead a chain of reasoning, which they quickly carried out and managed to give the correct answer.

TV quiz "What? Where? When? ”, Which appeared on Soviet TV in the seventies, by the beginning of the eighties had become a cult program. On the days of the games, millions of viewers gathered at the screens, and the next day, questions and answers were discussed with the same fervor as the games of the football team at the World Cup.

Of course, the brightest of the connoisseurs also became stars and favorites of the public. How was the fate of those who shone at the gaming table “What? Where? When?" in the eighties and nineties?

Alexander Byalko

Surname "Bialko" among connoisseurs and fans of "What? Where? When?" became as iconic as "Friends". Comedians who make parodies of an intellectual game almost always remember Alexandra Byalko.

In the television club of connoisseurs, a MEPhI graduate appeared in 1979 and was very quickly remembered by the audience for both his sharp mind and his unchanging beard.

Perhaps the most striking release with the participation of Bialko was the final game of 1982, where on the decisive issue he had to make fire by the method of ancient people: friction. When Alexander coped with the task, the presenter Vladimir Voroshilov remarked: “I can say that the two savages made fire together! And the civilized Alexander Byalko alone got the fire!”

Even before that, in 1981, Bialko became a laureate of the Owl Sign: the first individual prize established for connoisseurs. Alexander Byalko also took part in the first international games “What? Where? When?" as part of the USSR national team against the Bulgarian team.

He then left the television club for a long time, concentrating on other activities. Alexander Byalko speaks eight languages ​​and, in addition to being a nuclear physicist, also has a diploma in journalism. At one time, Byalko, Candidate of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, prepared the present presenter “What? Where? When?" Boris Kryuk.

Bialko returned to the gaming table in 2000, during the anniversary games. Then he was awarded the well-deserved "Crystal Owl". Subsequently, he participated in the games several more times, but in 2010 he finally left the club.

The reasons for leaving became clear three years later, when Bialko appeared on the program. Andrey Malakhov. Then it became known that Alexander Andreevich, who had already exceeded 60, left the family and married a 24-year-old girl. The ex-wife of Byalko worked for many years in the program “What? Where? When? ”, And the general director of the television company“ Game-TV ” Natalia Stetsenko such an act of a connoisseur, to put it mildly, was not appreciated. She honestly admitted this in the program of Andrei Malakhov. In general, we can say that Alexander Byalko broke up with “What? Where? When?" for family reasons.

At the beginning of 2018, Byalko supported one of the candidates in the election of the head of the Russian Chess Federation, but the victory went to another. The latest news from the life of a star connoisseur - he, along with his wife, was named among the guests of the First Moscow Festival of Newlyweds on September 8, 2018 in the capital's Pechatniki park on the banks of the Moscow River.

Fedor Dvinyatin

Graduate of the Faculty of Philology, Leningrad State University Fedor Dvinyatin debuted at the Connoisseurs TV Club in 1990. His career at the club lasted 15 years. Dvinyatin's best games came at a time when he played in the same six with Alexander Druz. In football terms, they were Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi within one team.

Dvinyatin during the games at the club was awarded the Crystal Owl prize four times: more often only Alexander Druz was awarded. Unlike his explosive and emotional colleagues, Fedor Dvinyatin always knew how to control himself: even when his correct answers were rejected for one reason or another. He left What? Where? When?" intelligently and almost imperceptibly, having played the final game of 2005.

As a radio presenter, Fedor Dvinyatin worked for Radio Russia, where he led the Bookshelf section in the Krugozor program, introducing listeners to the novelties of the book market.

Today, Dvinyatin does not strive for publicity, but, as far as is known, he is doing well both in his personal life and in his professional activities. The latest information about Fyodor Nikitich is on September 11-13, 2018 in Smolensk, he will make a presentation at the third international scientific conference "Abrahamiev Week-2018".

The popularity of the connoisseur is evidenced by the fact that one of the most original KVN teams of the early 21st century was named after him.

Nurali Latypov

Graduate of Rostov State University Nurali Latypova well remember those who started watching “What? Where? When?" in the first half of the eighties. He was distinguished by the ability to find the right answers in situations where the rest of the team, as they say, found themselves in a stupor. So it was with the legendary question about the pit: there was no correct answer at the table, and insight came to Latypov already during the answer. Vladimir Voroshilov did not hide his shock.

Nurali Latypov in 1984 became the first owner of the Crystal Owl prize. From "What? Where? When?" he left at the turn of the eighties and nineties. Subsequently, Latypov worked as an adviser to the Russian government, which he headed Ivan Silaev, was an adviser to the Deputy Prime Minister on regional and national policy Sergei Shakhrai, Advisor for Innovative Technologies of the Mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov. Also, Latypov could be seen as a TV presenter on one of the TV channels.

An interesting fact: Latypov is a multiple winner of the Grand Prix of international cartoon exhibitions. Most recently, Nurali Latypov, director of the Institute for Strategic Monitoring, appeared as an expert on the Time Will Show program on Channel One.

Andrey Kamorin

The stellar period of a graduate of the Faculty of Journalism of MGIMO Andrey Kamorin in what? Where when?" was in the late seventies - early eighties. Together with Alexander Byalko, Kamorin was one of the main favorites of the public of that time. Six Kamorin was the best in the club, and he himself became the owner of the honorary title "Best Club Captain".

In the 2000s, Kamorin returned to the club to participate in the anniversary games. Unlike the works of other stars of the game of past years, almost everyone is familiar with the fruits of Andrey Kamorin's professional activity, although they do not even know about it. As a producer, he created such series as "National Security Agent", "Truckers", "Secrets of the Investigation", "Kamenskaya" and many others.

Andrey Kamorin is a member of the Union of Journalists of Russia, a member of the Russian Academy of Cinematographic Arts and a member of the Academy of Russian Television.

Georgy Zharkov

Graduate of the Faculty of History of the Vladimir State Pedagogical University Georgy Zharkov appeared in the television club “What? Where? When?" in 1994, when Vladimir Voroshilov reformatted it into an "intellectual casino". In the game for money, Zharkov felt confident and in 1998 he was awarded the Crystal Owl prize.

Such a bright rise in the early 2000s was replaced by a fall. In 2004, he was disqualified in the sports version of What? Where? When? ”, accusing him of fraud in order to gain access to answers to questions. And this was followed by a criminal charge: the candidate of psychological sciences Zharkov was suspected of sexual assault against a young man with mental retardation. On August 22, 2007, the court found Zharkov guilty and sentenced him to 4.5 years of probation. Georgy Zharkov pleaded not guilty and considered the case ordered. He was suspended from games in the television club of connoisseurs.

Since 2015, he has worked at the Civic Chamber of the Vladimir Region. In early 2016, Zharkov suffered a heart attack, from the consequences of which he never recovered. On February 28, 2016, the owner of the Crystal Owl passed away. He was 49 years old.

Boris Burda

In terms of erudition Boris Oskarovich Burda- one of the few who can compete with the legendary Anatoly Wasserman. Interestingly, both Odessans made their debut in “What? Where? When?" in 1990 as part of the same team. But if Wasserman's career in the television club of connoisseurs did not work out, then Boris Burda became one of the most successful players in “What? Where when?" late 1990s - early 2000s.

Burda has three "Crystal Owls" on his account, which is perhaps too few for him. In 1998, he received the Golden Chip award as the best player of the year. Also at the club, he bore the unofficial title of "Mr. Encyclopedia". Among other things, Burda managed to play against experts as a viewer. Boris Oskarovich is considered one of the most prolific authors of questions for the sports version of What? Where? When?": Their number is measured in thousands.

In addition to various intellectual games, Burda once managed to play KVN, as well as become a laureate of several bard song festivals. But the most famous hobby of Boris Burda is cooking. By his own admission, it all started with the fact that his beloved wife did not know how to cook at all, and therefore her husband had to take over cooking.

As a result, Burda, who has a red diploma in the specialty "heat power engineer for automation", became a famous culinary specialist. On Ukrainian television, for many years he hosted the Tasty with Boris Burda program. Boris Oskarovich still successfully shares his recipes on social networks.
