the President reminded that the KVN appeared in the 1950-ies. “Then in the 1970s the transmission was closed. Why? For example, many people thought that the appearance on the stage of the players with the beard is an allusion to Karl Marx, and now half here with a beard”, — joked the head of state.

the Radio station “Moscow speaking” reported that the remark which the President made on his account were made in the performance of the team “Team of Pyatigorsk”. However, team member David Muradian in an interview with radio station said that the joke had no relation to the President, and was dedicated to one of the members of the team.

“of course, We are amused that even this meaning may be. Because the joke was against Alexei Sporova, he is its author and really divorced,” said Muradyan.

the Radio said that the joke is a dialogue, in which one of the team members asks: “Well, how are you doing? Married? Divorced? Happy?” To this he answered: “Yes! In that order. Married, divorced, happy.”

Vladimir and Lyudmila Putin announced a divorce 6 June 2013. At a press conference in 2014, the head of state said that has no problems in his personal life and said that he supports good relations with his ex-wife.
