The best talents from that KVN are now in "CC" or nearby.

If "CC" refers to Comedy Club, I haven't noticed any of the old guard there; at most, there are people who played a couple of seasons about 5 years ago. And the jokes there are so flat that I'd rather watch Petrosyan :)). As for the old guard, represented by people from Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, etc., they are now quite well-off and self-sufficient, and they don't need this clownery.
Actually, I probably made a mistake with the timing; I should have written about 15 years ago instead of 10 years ago. Oh, how time flies!
