Alexander Pushnoy - biography, photo, personal life, news, songs 2020

Childhood

The biography of Tatyana Pushnaya began on a fine day in the Siberian spring, March 14, 1977. Her birthplace was the distant city of Novosibirsk, the center of trade, business, cultural, industrial and scientific life in Siberia.

The working-class family into which she was born was very ordinary. From early childhood she liked to draw, as well as do all kinds of handicrafts: knitting and cross-stitch.

As a schoolgirl, Tatyana showed a great penchant for exact sciences, and in the tenth grade she even won second place in the city mathematical Olympiad. Therefore, after graduating from high school in 1993, she entered the Physics and Mathematics School named after M. A. Lavrentiev at Novosibirsk State University. This educational institution is located in Novosibirsk Akademgorodok.

Pooh

Alexander Borisovich Pushnoy was born on May 16, 1975. The place of his birth was the same Novosibirsk Akademgorodok, in one of the microdistricts of which lived the family of cyberneticist Boris Mikhailovich and economist Nina Dmitrievna, his parents.

Sasha grew up as a very musical child. Already at the age of seven he was sent to a music school, classes in which he had to combine with the usual general education ten years. For his twelfth birthday, his father gave him a seven-string guitar, which Alexander learned to play from books.

In 1992, when Tatyana Pushnaya was still a high school student, Alexander became a student at the Faculty of Physics at Novosibirsk State University, which his future wife also enrolled in a few years later.

Already being Tatyana’s husband, Alexander became a member of the KVN team of his native university, in 1997 winning his first popularity among the audience with a brilliant parody of the singer Sting. His participation in KVN continued until 2004, when the famous married couple of TV presenters Tatyana Lazareva and Mikhail Shats invited Pushny to become a co-host in their program “Good Jokes.” Alexander’s talent quickly manifested itself here too - he came up with the “APOZH” competition, which was very popular with television viewers.

In 2006, Pushnoy became the host of the scientific and educational program “Galileo”, in which he independently conducted various experiments in front of the camera, demonstrating the laws of physics and chemistry.

Since 2008, Alexander has released three of his own music albums, the last of which, called “#little joke,” was released in 2020.

This will all happen later, but for now his fate, like the fate of Tatyana Pushnoy, the beautiful half of his future family, was slowly but inevitably approaching the moment of their meeting.

Alexander Pushnoy in KVN

During his student years, he took an active part in the activities of the local entertainment club “Kvant”, and also often performed at various skits and parties. As a result, the talent of the young artist was noted by representatives of the Novosibirsk KVN team. So, in 1997, Alexander Pushnoy became a member of the NSU Team team, within which he mainly made musical parodies of various American and European artists.

In the end, our today’s hero performed as part of the Novosibirsk KVN group for about a year. After that, he also worked closely for some time with the teams “Children of Lieutenant Schmidt” and “Siberian Siberians”.

At the beginning of the new century, Alexander Pushnoy became quite famous in the world of KVN. However, having conquered this height, our today's hero clearly understood that he wanted more. From that moment on, she began to systematically make her way to the top of Russian cinema and television. And very soon he achieved considerable success in new industries.

Acquaintance

Alexander Pushnoy became an integral part of the personal life of the heroine of this article back in 1996, during their student days. The future showman worked part-time as a sound technician at the Palace of Culture of Akademgorodok and was at that time the only one who knew how to set sound correctly. Tatyana worked there as a graphic designer. Chance brought the future spouses together in one of the rooms of the Palace of Culture during a punk festival. That day the girl was busy cleaning it. The door opened, and through the clouds of dust raised by the broom in her hands, Tatyana Pushnaya saw the silhouette of a lanky figure, who immediately began to cough demonstrably. They had a fight, but at the same time they got to know each other.

There was no romance, love swoons or sighs between the physicist Alexander and the mathematician Tatyana. Just in a moment, the two learned students were overcome by the realization that they seemed to know each other for many years.

Then the couple dated for almost two years and walked along the streets of Akademgorodok, after which one fine day Pushnoy brought his chosen one home and told his mother: “Tanya will live with us.”

Galileo's conflict with the church

Having submitted his “Dialogue” to the Catholic censor in 1630, Galileo waited a year, after which he resorted to a trick: he wrote a preface about the rejection of Copernicanism as a teaching. As a result, permission was received. Published in 1632, the book did not contain the author's specific conclusions, although it clearly made sense in the argumentation of the Copernican system. The work was written in accessible Italian; the author also independently sent copies to senior church officials.

A few months later, the book was banned and Galileo was called to trial. He was arrested and held in captivity for 18 days. Thanks to the efforts of his student Duke, the scientist was shown leniency, although he was allegedly still tortured. The investigation lasted two months, after which Galileo was found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment, and he also had to renounce his own “delusions.” He did not actually utter the now famous phrase “Still it turns,” which is attributed to Galileo. This legend was invented by the Italian literary figure D. Baretti.

Wedding

Tatyana Pushnaya became the wife of Alexander Pushnoy on August 11, 1998. Being not particularly romantic people, but more so-called “crackers” from science, they immediately decided that the celebration of marriage was a holiday exclusively for the bride and groom, and not for a bunch of people and unnecessary expenses.

Therefore, their entire wedding consisted of themselves, a witness with a witness, the groom’s parents, and even a couple of mutual friends.

True, according to the recollections of Nina Dmitrievna, Alexander’s mother, Tatyana Pushnaya was subsequently very worried about the fact that she did not have a wedding dress, and still cannot get over it.

Fur Family

Pragmatists in life, the young husband and wife turned out to be very suitable for each other. Since childhood, Alexander suffered from a mild form of color blindness and practically did not distinguish colors. Tatyana had no ear for music at all. Therefore, their creative lives absolutely never intersected. Both of them extremely valued their own personal space, but at the same time they learned to help each other in their endeavors, or at least not to interfere with each other.

After Pushny’s long participation in the filming of KVN, held in the capital, they moved to the small town of Dolgoprudny near Moscow, where they settled for almost fifteen years.

Alexander considers himself a good husband, despite the complete lack of romance in their relationship:

Well, I don’t know how to look after... Arrange some kind of romantic surprise, come with a bouquet of flowers, unexpectedly set the table - something doesn’t work out for me. Probably, once in the distant past I seriously messed up, and now all this is somehow scary to me - I’m afraid of being ridiculed, or something. Even from my wife, whom I have known for a hundred years...

Like everyone else, there are quarrels in the family of Tatyana and Alexander Pushny, but they quickly fade away.

Tatyana became a real support for her rocker husband and taught him that family is forever, and all television projects and shows are passing.

One day a rather funny story happened. Journalists from a well-known magazine came to their home to interview them.

They came to us, talked to me and my wife, all this lasted an hour and a half. Then the journalists left, and then they called us and said that the material about us would not be published. I ask, what happened? They said - everything with you is so boring and banal that it’s somehow even uninteresting...

A television

After moving to the capital, Alexander Pushnoy continued to participate in KVN games. At first he found himself in the united team “Siberian Siberians”, which included the then-beginning “Children of Lieutenant Schmidt” and several members of the NSU team. Then he joined the main cast of DLSH and began to appear more often both on the KVN stage and on television.

In 2002, Alexander Pushnoy met another graduate of the Faculty of Physics of NSU, Andrei Bocharov, in Moscow. The then-famous showman invited Alexander to become the director of his humorous and culinary show “Always Cook!” on the TNT channel. In addition, Pushny is trusted to host the “Loser Poet” column, where he performs comic songs about food with a guitar.

Through Andrei Bocharov, Alexander Pushnoy met Mikhail Shats and Tatyana Lazareva, who at that time were producing the popular humorous program “O.S.P. Studio" and the sitcom "33 Square Meters" that preceded it. Alexander joins the O.S.P. team. almost before the show closes, but manages to make a parody of Rammstein that the audience loves.

In 2004, a new show of humorous fights, “Good Jokes,” was released on the STS TV channel, hosted by Shats and Lazareva. It is they who invite Alexander to join the creative tandem and be responsible for the musical part of the program. Despite the success of the program and stable ratings, the popularity of the show pales in comparison with the invented Fur Competition - “APOZH”.

According to the rules of the competition, one of the team members sings a song, then using a special program it is turned backwards. The second participant must repeat what he hears as a result, and the resulting recording is turned over again. The one who recognizes the originally performed song wins.

After APOZh appeared on STS, people started playing it all over the country - at holidays, family gatherings, and even anniversaries and weddings! To make playing at home easier, Alexander even released apps of the same name for smartphones.

In 2009, during a break in the filming of “Good Jokes,” Mikhail Shats and Alexander Pushnoy came up with another show for STS - “Song of the Day.” In the program, three presenters already familiar from “Good Jokes” discuss the news of the day, and at the end they write and perform a song based on them. However, against the backdrop of the ratings-beating “ProjectorParisHilton,” which aired at that time on Channel One, the show by Shats and Pushnoy got lost and went off the air after the first season.

From 2007 to 2020, Alexander Pushnoy hosted another show on STS - “Galileo”. This time the program is of a scientific and educational nature and consists of short stories and studio experiments in physics and chemistry. This is where Alexander’s physics degree came in handy! The show is rapidly gaining popularity. However, not everything on the set goes smoothly - during the “Termite” experiment, Alexander, carried away by the experiment, severely burns his hand. Although, to some extent, even this failure has a positive effect on the popularity of the show.

During the existence of “Galileo”, 15 seasons were filmed and 1084 episodes were broadcast; in 2020, an additional season called “MegaGalileo” was filmed, consisting of 16 programs. For his work at Galileo, Alexander Pushnoy was nominated three times for the TEFI award as “best host of an entertainment program.”

Alexander Pushnoy also hosted the quiz “Who is smarter than a fifth grader?” with the participation of show business stars and “Creative Class” for graduates of Russian schools, both programs were broadcast on the STS TV channel.

sons

Tatyana Pushnoy and her husband Alexander have three children. And all are sons.

In 2004, six years after the wedding, their first child, Dmitry, was born, and five years later his younger brother Mikhail was born.

In 2020, a post appeared on Tatyana’s personal page on one of the social networks:

Today at 18:20 our Andrei Alexandrovich was born. A wonderful guy, 53 cm tall and 3,570 g. So now, like in fairy tales, we have three sons!..

According to Alexander Pushnoy, he turned out to be a “crappy” father. He considers himself a crazy panicking dad suffering from hyper-responsibility for the health of his sons.

Tatyana, on the other hand, approaches motherhood more calmly and judiciously. While her husband Alexander disappears on filming and performing, she leads the normal life of a mother. She is responsible for her sons, their lessons, school and kindergarten.

Lately, she has been helped by a nanny, who has also taken on walks with the children so that Tatyana has the opportunity to do her favorite work calmly and in silence.

Music

The professional musical biography of Alexander Pushnoy began in Novosibirsk, when he created the rock band “Bear”. It existed for 3 years, but managed to be noted for several songs of its own authorship, for example, “WWWalenki” and “Lenin sent everyone to May Day.”

After Pushnoy began playing in KVN, the musician’s career faded into the background. Only in 2004 did Alexander again start posting compositions on his website, and resumed his concert activities even later - in 2010. It was then that Pushny performed together with the group “Dzhankoy Brothers”, and with this composition the musician still tours the cities of Russia and Ukraine.

The artists also performed at the rock festival “Invasion” and in the TV show “Pair Run”, where their songs alternated with poems by Leonid Kaganov. On his YouTube channel, Alexander Pushnoy uploads music videos for his songs, as well as review videos about guitars from different manufacturers.

It should also be noted that Pushnoy, as a composer and singer, recorded songs for the television games “Thank God, you came!” and “Wall to Wall”, TV shows “Big Difference” and “Southern Butovo”, sketch show “Unreal Story” and “6 Frames”. Many films feature soundtracks written by Alexander, such as “Once Upon a Time in the Police,” “Casual Affairs,” “Superheroes,” “Traffic Light,” “Scribblers,” “Simple Truths” and many others. In some of them, Pushnoy appeared as an actor.

Alexander gave his voice to several characters in animated films. The TV presenter acted as a voice actor in the cartoons "Monsters on Vacation" and "Monsters on Vacation - 2", "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" and its sequel, and then in the Franco-Belgian animated project "Ernest and Celestine: The Adventures of a Mouse and bear."

In 2012, in the show “Big Difference,” Pushnoy performed together with Zhanna Friske, literally creating a cover of her composition “La-la-la” on stage. The artists performed this song together, which greatly pleased the viewers of the program.

In 2013, Pushnoy posted a video on his YouTube channel for the song “Smile and Wave,” or rather its processed version.

On April 17, 2020, a trailer appeared on Pushnoy’s official YouTube channel. More than 100 thousand people subscribed to it, and individual videos collected up to 11 million views.

Alexander creates funny covers and adaptations of popular songs, for example, he once covered “Green-Eyed Taxi” in German in the style of the rock band Rammstein. Therefore, Pushnoy is not against the fact that his songs are also covered. The musician even records instructional videos in which he shows how to play the most popular compositions. In 2020 and 2017, he added video instructions to the channel with the songs “Why Am I an Idiot?” and "Gray-yellow spring."

In March 2020, the presenter posted on the YouTube channel a cover of the song “Transfer me through the Maidan” by Sergei and Tatyana Nikitin on an 8-string guitar. In the video, the musician also tells the story of the release of such guitars. The video is positioned as a musical experiment that does not carry any political meaning and does not address Ukrainian events.

And in May, the man appeared in a special edition of the music program “Behind the Stage”. Alexander spoke about new songs that he plans to record not in the studio, but at the dacha, and about Balunov’s video, in which he participates in the filming with his son.

In the same year, Pushny was invited to host the “Physicists and Lyricists” column on Mayak radio. The artist’s co-host was Margarita Mitrofanova. Then the podcast went off the air for some time, but began broadcasting again in September 2019.

Full-length album “As a rule - no rules!” appeared in Pushny's discography in 2020. And after some time, he presented a cover of the song “Everything is going according to plan” by the group “Civil Defense” and another in German, a song from the cartoon “The Bremen Town Musicians”.

Over time, Pushny’s work became increasingly popular among rock fans, and therefore in 2020 he decided to hold three concerts - in May they were held in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and in April in Yekaterinburg.

Hobby

After her second son Mikhail was born, in September 2009 Tatyana learned what scrapbooking is, a type of handicraft art that involves making and decorating family or personal photo albums. Having seen examples of work, she recognized the name of what she had been doing for many years.

Below in the picture is a photo frame from Tatyana Pushnoy.

While on yet another maternity leave, suffering from sitting in one place and routine, she threw herself headlong into this meticulous handicraft. Her first page of the photo album, made in this style, was dedicated to her son.

At the same time, in addition to caring for the children, she was beset by health problems with the parents of Alexander Pushnoy. Her daily life became too hard and sad. The relief from scrapbooking that she had experienced before no longer happened.

Then Tatyana tried to make postcards using this technique, hitting the nail on the head. Making a small card was a faster process and the results were just as impressive. In just a few overnight hours it was possible to get a completely finished product (a New Year's card from Tatyana Pushnaya can be seen in the photo below).

When Tatyana was interviewed and asked about the source of her inspiration, she answered:

I don't have a special muse. Sometimes paper inspires, sometimes photos, sometimes some emotions! In general, for me, a breakthrough and a step aside was participation in the “Look Around!” blog team. That's when I discovered unusual sources of inspiration...

While the Pushny family lived in Dolgoprudny, Tatyana often had to huddle on the kitchen windowsill, practicing her favorite art.

And then they moved to Moscow.

Today

What is Tatyana Pushnaya doing now? After purchasing a new apartment, she was busy for a long time developing its future design, fully embodying all her creative talent in the resulting result.

Today, she, still being a patient and reasonable mother, has begun organizing children's parties in the style of scrap fashion. Tatyana is the official designer of a network of scrap shops and clubs, and maintains her own scrap blog on social networks

In addition to scrapbooking, Tatyana is still interested in painting and drawing, and recently her works can be seen at contemporary art exhibitions.
