The first festival of youth our country hosted in 1957 in Moscow. It had a tremendous influence on the subsequent formation of culture and art, it served as the founder of many innovative genres for that period. It was the time when the revision «Festival» produced by the Soviet game show «Evening of cheerful questions» appeared on the Central television. Later, the format was redesigned in a well-known and well-liked today “Club of the Funny and Inventive” — these humorous groups of talented youth are still popular not only in Russia but also in all CIS countries and beyond.
