Leonid Kanevsky became the father of Russian business crime without even knowing what it was

It is difficult to imagine where else but in Russia a program about maniacs in the USSR could generate so many funny memes. Over the 18 years of its existence, “The investigation was conducted” has won the love of millions of viewers of all ages and has spawned hundreds of memes, no matter how surprising they may be (just look at the iconic “nobody”… of course, nothing…”). Its permanent presenter, Leonid Kanevsky, not only gave the TV show an extraordinary style (so that every picture from his mention echoes in the head in the same style of speech), but also became the father of Russian true crime. By the way, the second fact he learned the other day before an interview with Sasha Sulim.

During a conversation with Leonid Semenovich, Sasha expressed the importance of the TV presenter in exposing Russian business crime, but the interlocutor stopped the journalist with the words: “Quietly, quietly, first explain to me what this is.” As the actor later hastened to add, he had learned the meaning of this word literally before filming the interview.

By the way, the presenter believes that the success of the television program is not due to the fact that viewers want to learn a story about crime: “They can turn on crime on any TV channel. They watch a story about time, about how their grandparents, mothers and fathers lived.”

Despite the fact that over the 18 years of broadcasting “The Investigation was conducted” there were hundreds of episodes, there is a special episode that Leonid Semenovich considers very important. This is the story of the director of the Eliseevsky store, Yuri Sokolov. The fact is that the TV presenter knew the guy before everything happened.

By the way, fans of the Marvel universe and Spider-Man movies, this is definitely your solution, because you have something in common with Leonid Semenovich. It seems that he loves all the movies about this superhero. Moreover, such a love happened spontaneously; his friend turned on the first movie, and from there it continued …

The host of the program “Investigation is underway” described their way to the news agenda as “I have big ears and a lot of friends.” The artist later admitted that he was trying to master the technological world, and therefore bought Telegram and a banned social network.

Leonid Semenovich ended his conversation with the journalist in his own style: “It would be great if you see me. See you on the screen.”

Leonid Kanevsky is gaining more and more popularity every year, and by 2024 the TV presenter became a real Internet star. Read the main part of his first interview with Laura Dzhugelia after many years here.
