KVN is a Russian humour TV show and competition where teams compete by giving funny answers to questions and showing prepared sketches. The programme was first aired by the First Soviet Channel on November 8, 1961. Eleven years later, in 1972, when few programmes were being broadcast live, Soviet censors found the students' impromptu jokes offensive and anti-Soviet and banned KVN. The show was revived fourteen years later during the Perestroika era in 1986, with Alexander Maslyakov as its host. It is one of the longest-running TV programmes on Russian Television. It also has its own holiday on November 8, the birthday of the game, which KVN players celebrate every year since it was announced and widely celebrated for the first time in 2001.

Garik Kharlamov, Azamat Musagaliyev and Denis Dorokhov discuss current events every Saturday evening, joke and communicate with the guests of the show.

Two teams play a non-standard game. Men play against girls. They have to guess what the people of the country consider normal and what not. Participants will have to answer five social questions. The one who gave the most correct answers wins. The correct answer will be the one given by the majority of Russian residents as a result of a social survey. In addition to the players, ordinary people with personal stories and star experts will come to the studio, who, together with the players, will try to figure out whether the way they live, what they think about and what decisions they make is normal.
