- Vyacheslav, did you always know that you will become an artist, or, how many boys still dreamed of becoming an astronaut?
- I never wanted to become a cosmonaut. I will surprise, probably many, but I really wanted to become a tractor driver or chauffeur. It is difficult to even convey how seriously I treated these professions and how much I liked them. And I always had a creative start. In school, starting a class with the fifth, and my friend showed different scenes that could then see on television, for example, in the program "Anshagla". It was very laborious, by the way, the process. At first I wrote down the miniatures on the tape recorder, then transferred replicas for paper, and only after that we tried to reproduce them. At that time, I could not think of anything, so I had to train on what is ... I was then 12 or 13 then.
- In the team you are also the main musician. How did your musical career begin?
- I always liked the music very much. I listened to different singers with great pleasure, but I could not understand why the musicians play with so much chords. To me, a guy from the village was difficult to reproduce the same melody. This is truly annoyed. Therefore, when I started writing poems and music to them, I tried to do everything as simple as possible that the usual guys could see it on TV or hear on the radio, and then just take the guitar and play. Of course, some say: they say, this is too simple melody, but I do it intentionally.
- The first fans have you appeared at school time?
- I was very popular at school, because I participated in all the events in which I could only: for an out-of-school program, and in the matinee, and in the cabbagers. Everywhere I wanted to take the first places, and it was quite often possible.
- How did you get to KVN?
"When I received a university in Yekaterinburg, at the bottom of the first room, everyone agitated to join either in choir, or to the Faculty KVN team. I think you guess what choice I did, "everything started. After the faculty, I got into the interuniversity team, and from there - already in great KVN. There I met the "Ural dumplings," and in 1999 I was invited to the team Andrei Rozhkov.
- As far as I know, you write hits not only for "dumplings" ...
- Now many of my songs are rotated on the radio. Plus, my channel on the Internet and groups on social networks are actively developing. In general, the Internet is now the largest platform through which information can be conveyed to the audience, especially young.
- Despite all artistic successes, you still received a member engineer diploma ...
- I always wanted to work with cars, so the specialty chose the appropriate. But my vocational education is a "cover", that is, just in case. With the career of the artist could not work out. I could write songs and somewhere in the forest, in breaks between work, on a forestry or tractor. But to what I'm doing now, I was drawn most.
Vyacheslav met hopeful thanks to KVN. Student love rearranged in a happy marriage. Now Vyacheslav and hope raise the twins Constantine and Maxim. .
- The knowledge gained in the university you help you in life? Do you yourself drive a car?
- I love to ride the car, but even more I love to ride the motorcycles. All my childhood passed among motorcycles, mopeds and other things. I am very well driven by transport and generally would not get out of it from the morning to evening. Although, of course, I myself do not repair cars, the maximum - changing the wheels.
- What are you doing when we rest?
- Almost every day I am writing music and lyrics. And I am happy to engage in skiing, I love windsurfing; In addition, I love to go to the movies - I try to track all the new items. And, of course, it is always pleasant to spend time with children.
- How did you react when you learned that you will have twins?
- I was very scared. I would even say that fear is still present.
- Are you afraid to confuse them?
- I never happened to me. Kostya and Maxim are absolutely not similar to each other: neither with characters nor appearance. You may probably be confused, just those who saw for the first time.
- Tell us about your wife. Does she herself relate to creativity?
- Sure. We met hopefully at the Institute. She was in the faculty team KVN, and I was in the interuniversity. So the love of creativity and humor and tied us.
- You still live in Yekaterinburg, although, probably, they could already move to Moscow ...
- We did not have the ideas to move at least because there is no need. Here we have everything - both the house, friends, and acquaintances; Almost the whole team of "Ural Pelmeni" lives here. Make all this for the sake of eternal turmoil, noise ... The benefit of the flights is enough, so we can easily fly to Moscow when necessary. Maybe in the future something will change, but, frankly, I would not want. Why, when is everything suited us?
