In mass culture

In particular, Internet users joke about its extremely high erudition, about the beard, a kind of manner to dress and live with a large number of pockets (in the transfer of "big difference" he told that his vest weighs about 7 kilograms) and numerous content. Part of jokes about Wasserman can be found in the articles on the Vicky-projects of Absurdia and Lurkomorier dedicated to him. I received online nickname "Onotole". Several times was the victim of the Pranker. However, after several conversations, telephone hooligans ceased to show interest to him. After the occurrence of rumors that Wasserman is going to run for the position of urban head Odessa, the name and portrait of "Onotole" appeared on the walls of Odessa houses.

One of the most famous intellectuals of our country and the entire post-Soviet space is undoubtedly Anatoly Wasserman. His track record is full of decent victories in such popular television programs like "its own game", "Brain Ring", "What? Where? When?" And many others. However, not all the audience admiring his encyclopedic knowledge, the details of his biography are known. In this article we will try to fill this gap.

The famous intellectual appeared on December 9, 1952 in the sunny Odessa, in a friendly Jewish family. His mother - Lina Ilinichna - worked by an accountant, Father - Alexander Anatolyevich Wasserman - was famous in the scientific circles of the thermophysics. He put great attention to the life and fate of his eldest son. From the oldest age, Anatoly sought to be like a father. Probably, this is explained by his early thrust for knowledge.

The future intellectual and construct has a younger brother who became, like father, the thermal physics and chemist. Parents never chose classes for their children - or did it very thin and unnoticed. At the same time, they participated in their fate and always answered their numerous questions.

As a child, Anatoly Wasserman always said that he was a capable child. You learned the future intellectual to read in the syllables in three and a half years, and running already four. At eleven years, Anatoly began to actively study the encyclopedic handbook on mechanical engineering in fifteen volumes, which by fourteen years almost learned by heart.

School years

The boy grew up weak and painful. Parents taught him to consider and write on their own, sent to school only in the eight of age, but immediately in the second class. True, due to frequent diseases, the child missed many classes and the bulk of the school year spent at home. In senior classes, problems with classmates were added to the health problems. It is said that due to the constant attacks of several hooligans, Anatoly performed not only his homework, but also his offenders.

He had to change school several times. After some time, Anatoly Wasserman fell into disfavor and school teachers, which he corrected, argued that they did not own the subject. It was especially difficult for relations with the teachers of history. It is for these reasons, despite the role of an intellectual, a young man in school years has never been an excellent student.

Student years

The situation has become gradually corrected, only when Anatoly graduated from school. Having received a cherished certificate, the young erudite filed documents to the Technological Institute in his native Odessa. Five years later, he received a Diploma-thermophysics diploma and got a job at the Kholmash NGO in Odessa to the position of a programmer, where he worked for three years. He then continued its work in the Research Institute of Food Fairmavtomatics.

Mind games

In the youth of Anatoly Wasserman, even working at industrial enterprises, constantly continued to improve his education. He became a member of the qualifying competition of the intellectual game "What? Where? When? "Where outstanding results demonstrated. These training anticipated the television popularity of Erudite next decade.

Appearance on television

TV viewers for the first time saw a colorful player in 1989. Passing all the introductory tours, Anatoly Wasserman became a member of the elite casino "What? Where? When?". He entered the team of Nural Latypov. After the well-deserved success in this project, he took part in the Brain Ring program in the team of Viktor Morokhovsky.

"My own game"

After many convincing and bright victories of the already famous construct, they were invited to a new intellectual program "Own Game", in which Anatoly Wasserman put the record, won 15 victories in a row, for which the title "Best Player of the Decade" was awarded.

"Mind games"

Since 2005, Wasserman has been participating in the new intellectual show "Mind Games", where he does not act as a habitual role of a participant in the competition, but as an opponent of guests of the show. True, the TV shows in the same year closed.

Anatoly continues to cooperate with the media. On television (Ren and NTV channels), the intellectual leads fascinating transmissions by the "open text", "Vasserman reaction".

Today more than twenty books Anatoly Vasserman published. The first of them came out in 2010. The debut in the literature was the book called by the author "Russia, including Ukraine. Unity or death. " It is devoted to Russian-Ukrainian relations.

Wasserman continues to work on generalistory themes, and another book appears on the shelves of bookstores in 2011 - "Skeletons in the history closet". In 2012, two books of the author are published: "Story Chest" and collaboration with the former captain of the team "What? Where? Where to?" Nural Latypov "Vasserman and Latypov reaction on legends, myths and other jokes of history."

In 2017, one of the last works of the author was published - the book "In the footsteps of writers. Something for Odessa. "This book tells about the amazing history of the city, talented people who fell under the charm of Odessa. Among them, Gogol and Pushkin, Babel and Bunin, the roots of Chukovsky.

Journalism

After completing the career of professional connoisseurs and intellectual, Anatoly Wasserman, whose photo we posted in this article, began work in journalism. Its specialization was political issues. Many people were considered radical. They caused a wide resonance of the public and, in most cases, an ambiguous assessment due to their categorical.

In a number of publications, which appeared both in the Ukrainian and in the Russian press, he confessed in his communist glances, promoted the idea of \u200b\u200bthe reunification of Ukraine and Russia.

Change of citizenship

Anatoly Alexandrovich Wasserman, Ukrainian at the place of birth, January 27, 2016 became a citizen of Russia, adopting citizenship of the Russian Federation. In September 2015, the Armed Forces initiated a criminal case against him, accusing in calls to the change of constitutional system. In the same year, Anatoly Wasserman took part in the political life of Russia. He nominated his candidacy to deputies on the regional list of Moscow from the Fair Russia party in the elections to the State Duma. In the district, he ranked second, giving way only Anton Zharkov.

Anatoly Wasserman: Personal Life

In his youth, the famous intellectual gave a vow chastity that follows today. It was for this reason that he was never married. According to him, today he regrets about the adopted vow, but I am sure that it is already difficult to change the progressive personal life. Anatoly Wasserman This vow was given in the student years, in the argument of a fellow students, when they talked about the relationship of men and women.

Often, journalists are interested, it is not time to abandon the vow, which is observed for loneliness. Anatoly Alexandrovich usually answers these questions that he is an extremely stubborn person, especially when it comes to his own life. But at the same time he always emphasizes that many times regretted the decision.

His last bright love was in the fifth grade. Fell in love with a girl who sighed all classmates. Perhaps if such bright feelings appeared in a more mature age, then Wasserman and violated the vow. Oddly enough, women in his house periodically appear. But as a rule, it is just familiar who come to the capital and stop at the hospitable Anatolia.

No one will deny that it is impossible for a long life not to meet a single attractive and interesting woman. They met in the life path of Wasserman - both on television programs, and among numerous acquaintances. Anatoly even repeatedly thought about marriage. However, these thoughts quickly disappeared, in no way affecting further relations.

At the same time, the famous erudite never felt alone, because he had a wide range of friends and acquaintances. It is, of course, it is not the best way. Cooking Anatoly Wasserman can not, usually just warms semi-finished products or visits a cafe. Regarding the question of continuing the kind, which has always been very worried about his parents, Anatoly Alexandrovich is joking that in general terms this problem has been solved through Brother Vladimir.

The most famous erudite of our country has a niece - Masha. This is a multifaceted gifted child developing creatively. She paints perfectly, engaged in the school of painting, is fond of dancing, interested in modern and classical music.

According to political convictions, Anatoly Wasserman is Stalinist and Marxist. According to religious - atheist, although it was repeatedly expressed about the role of Orthodoxy in the public life of the country.

Wasserman is the inventor and owner (the only) vest that has a huge number of pockets in which he wears all the things you need from a GPS navigator and a set of tools to voice recorders and lanterns. The weight of such a vest exceeds seven kilograms.

Anatoly Alexandrovich studies foreign languages. To date, he is perfectly owning Ukrainian, English, Russian and Esperanto.

- Anatoly, I read, your IQ exceeds 140 units, which qualifies as genius. What do you think the smart person is in principle capable of nonsense?

"I always said: the smarter the man, the greater the stupidity he was able to come up with. Personally, my biggest stupidity is the chastity. I gave it to his student years. That day we set aside with a classmate - it seems that it was immediately after the last lecture. We studied in the first year of the Odessa Technological Institute of the Refrigeration Industry. They spoke, of course, about the relationship of men and women! What else will ask, could be more interesting to 17-year-old students than the key moments of adult life, which in front of them finally looked around? True, girls noticed me only if I successfully joked in the company.

But this I argued to him: restrictions on sexual life accumulated by mankind in history, if they had a sense once, it was long outdated. He adhered to traditional views: Monogamia without change. Having exhausted the essential arguments, he switched to Personal: "You say so because you want this freedom for yourself." I was indignant and also moved to the person: "Yes, I will not live in a sex life!" None of the witnesses of the conversation did not believe it ... After the first year, my opponent went to another institute, I was transferred to another faculty - we lost each other from sight and no more.

"They say:" I am the owner of my word - he gave himself, he took back. " Why did you decide to keep your oath all my life?

- Unfortunately, I am very stubborn man. In cases where the case concerns someone else, you can still convince me. For example, by the beginning of the current millennium, I was a fiery liberal and liberal labertarian - and now the Germanist, the socialist (with a bias in communism) and even Stalinist. For the newest historical studies and experience of the failure of our country back to the market did not leave me a different way out. But in this case, the question concerned only me, and therefore I could show all my stubbornness in full! Later, due to the vow of chastity, I got a collection of erotica and pornography: I tried the lack of practice to compensate for the strengthened study of the theory ... In general, I regretted my decision more than once ...

- ... and ordered yourself for loneliness?

I mainly with colleagues at work and intellectual games. And, to his shame, changing the lifestyle, mostly change the circle of friends.

- But still you will not be called one conversations. Who cooks you, for example, or erases?

- In the domestic sense, I, of course, is not available in the best way. I do not know how to cook, most often just heating semi-finished products or go to some feed. This good was enough for me in Soviet times, and now it is now. It is quite difficult to pass around Moscow a couple of quarters and not to find a single institution where you feed. I am erased by a pure bachelor way: I throw one thing in a bucket for a day in a bucket with a solution of detergent, and then it remains to rinse. Washing I do not accumulate - I have some things, it is possible to support acceptable cleanliness.

- Your famous vest with many pockets in the usual bucket is unlikely to fit. Do you take it into cleaning?

- With empty pockets placed. Vests I have now from some particularly durable fabric with a dirt-repellent impregnation for workwear. So it is necessary to wash once a month or two. True, this fabric is also wear out. One vest is enough for a year or two - then I change the new one. Vests, pants and jackets order small parties in firms on sewing overalls.

- Is it necessary to carry on yourself, albeit in the vest, extra 9 kg? Say, over the past few days, did you really use the contents of all 26 pockets?

- Yesterday, a couple of pens, pencil, journalistic certificate (in order to go into one radio studio). This is from the vest. And from what lies in the pockets of the trousers, I used the wallet, keys, folding bag, an electronic book. It is easier for me and easier to carry the margin, praised times and forever (or at least for a long time) than every time you think that it can come in handy tomorrow that we take with you.

We do not feel the severity of the vest. Much more I interfere with your own belly. Because of him, my weight is about 30 kg more than what I consider normal. Unfortunately, I never had enough willpower to go to themselves. But without external coercion, it is unlikely that I can put yourself in order. Due to excess weight, physically feel sometimes over its older than its 59 years.

- That is, to acquire a family and a woman who can take care of you, do not think?

- Women in my house, oddly enough, from time to time appear. These are my acquaintances: coming to Moscow, they stop with me. And then I have the opportunity to test myself for compatibility with another person. It has long been convinced: it's hard enough. Already one of my habit of sitting at the desktop until late or not to turn off the TV for the night ... It is unlikely that it can take a person from the side. Of course, it is impossible for all my life not to meet a single interesting woman. And I met them - both in the game party, and among my contented extensive circle of friends. Several times thought about creating a family. But these thoughts fled very quickly, no way affecting further relations. And judging by the fact that I did not change my lifestyle, the incentives were insufficient.

Last bright love was in my fifth grade. In that girl, then the whole class was in love: usually in this age hobbies are collective. If the same bright feelings arose in adulthood - I would probably have broken vow. Or maybe, just on the contrary: bright feelings did not arise precisely because I kept this word. I do not take to guess where the reason is where the consequence. In any case, life has already developed in a certain way. And considering that I have been 59 years old, I do not really hope for change.

- Your mom and dad, probably, were upset about this?

- The question of continuing the kind, which was very disturbed by my parents, in general, resolved thanks to my brother Vladimir. My niece, Maria Vladimirovna Wasserman, is a very versatile child! And immediately for several indicators is very much reminded of me. True, if I have all the gifts, one way or another were associated with the exact sciences, then Masha develops creatively. He draws well, even learns at the school of painting, dancing, musitizes good - unlike me.

She and character is the same dirty as I was at her age. Masha is very stubborn, markedly selfish. I somehow have somehow learned about other people's interests over or less, although it often requires me consciously conscious efforts. She does not think about it yet. And the fact that she is poured in his youth, allows me to hope: and other my features a niece is also sufficiently endowed. And I am not afraid that my genes will disappear without a trace.

- Anatoly, and how to raised you yourself? How are genius appear in the family?

- On my example, it can be seen that it turns out from a person if he does not interfere with independently. Parents never suggested me what to do - or did it imperceptibly. At the same time, they did not forget to take care of the Son, diverse participated in my fate and willingly responded to many questions that arise from me. It was precisely help, and not a prescription, for which I am highly grateful. And I am very glad that they are me.

I never allowed me to forget that I was a capable child. This is always the subject of the pride of relatives and loved ones. I learned to read by that time very early: in three and a half years - in the syllables, from four years old - flew. Now, as far as I can judge, it is almost normal. I have always had a good memory, but, in my opinion, it is rather a consequence of not the characteristics of thinking, but my natural curiosity. The fact that a person is interesting is to be remembered by itself, without much effort. I am curious, I am interested in a lot. Accordingly, I remember much. Already in the younger classes caused discontent with the class teacher, noting the discrepancies of the simplest wording in the school program with more serious sources. However, this, fortunately, did not affect the estimates. But the teacher of history and social studies in high schools Amestil to everyone who knew his subject is better than him (there were good half of these in our class), and instead of quite well-deserved fives put four. I wrote at his address evil satirical texts on the motives of popular songs (mostly Vladimir Semenovich Vysotsky, just in those years, who became a nationwide pet), and these songs knew the whole school.

- Is it true that it is love for the songs of Vysotsky once again you, thermal physics by profession, and Boris Burdu, one of the most successful participants in the game "What? Where? When?" and "Branin Ring"?

- All students in the Odessa refrigeration institute knew: after the heat, it is possible to deal with anything, except the thermal physics. And this is in no way a joke. Not so many specialists are required to satisfy all the needs of world science and technology. Therefore, we were prepared with the reserve: the work in the specialty found one of the ten graduates. Here, for example, the preparation of the equation of the state of substances is engaged in the world of a person 100. By the way, my father is in the top ten. But the thermophysics - discipline complex: is at the junction of many sciences and crafts. In order for her to do, you need to master them, see interrelations, search in one science Answers to questions arising from another. If you digest, you can really try yourself in any way. When I studied, the thermophysical studies were already practically impossible without a computer. Therefore, I have mastered the programming at the Institute. The lesson was extremely fascinating, and after the institute I immediately went to programmers. Once acquaintances advised me in search of new songs to contact Boris Burda - already then visible bard. We had many points of contact, including work: Boris also turned out to be a programmer. Soon he recommended me on the vacancy, and from October 1977 to May 1986 we worked with him in the same department, albeit in different laboratories. In 1983, Burda created the "Erudite" club. How far it will start us, did not assume then he himself. The first game took place on March 25. Boris Oskarovich on that day turned 33. Everyone said then: the crucifixion of Burda replaced the club.

- You participated in all the most popular television intellectual games. What have they become for you - Hobbies?

- Personally, it seems to me that in recent years 29 is my main job. Once, my partner on the many projects of Nuralli Nurslamovich Latypov (the first in the history of the program "What? Where? When?" The owner of the "Crystal Owl", which later became a political and scientific consultant) was outraged that I again leaving the tournament when it was burning. I replied: "Nurally, I am not a political consultant, having entertained by intellectual games, but a player working in political assets."

In general, I changed the activity many times. But always dealt only by what I liked himself. And they always wanted to pay for it. After all, the fact that a person likes is usually so good that others come in handy.

- If the games are work, then they are the same source of your earnings?

- Intelligent games for me first of all the way of self-expression. And of course, an element of excitement: to win is always nice. But I never perceived them as a way of earning - if only because the winnings never guaranteed.

Most of all I am proud of the win-win series of our team (Boris Oscarovich Burda, Tatyana Vasilyevna Bogatyrev, Irina Borisovna and Roman Grigorievich Morozovskiy, I and Captain Viktor Yakovlevich Morokhovsky) on the television "Brane Ring" from the end of the 1992 season and until mid-1994. Yes, and my own 15 victories in a row in the "His game" will remain a record for a long time. Not because, by the way, that there are no other strong players in it - simply the current rules no longer give the opportunity to stay on the screen for so long. My largest personal gain is a Toyota Avensis car for a victory in the tournament in honor of the 10th anniversary of the TV show "Own Game" in 2004. I never tried to drive: too easy to leaving my own thoughts, and therefore I'm afraid to lose control of the road situation. I go to taxi and service cars. Therefore, winning the prize, asked from the cost of the car to pay all taxes due, and the residue is about $ 20 thousand - to transfer to me. This money was enough for a year with an excessive lifeless life and to cover the cost of apartment arrangement. Just in the summer of 2004, one of ours from Nurali Latpov's regular customers bought me an apartment - as payment for all our services over the past years and a few years ahead.

I have practically no savings. Delayed money in the best case is enough for two or three months. All his life suffering from two severe diseases - incontinence of language and incontinence of money. True, I managed to turn the first of these diseases to the cure for the second: earning mainly political technologies and journalism.

- What do you prefer to spend earned?

- The largest line of expenses - collectibles. I suppose I got infected by my grandfather on the maternal line. He was collected all his life, although the little things did not represent the material value. For example, in my Odessa apartment, several wall-mounted and desktop watches remaining from him are not very valuable, but very beautiful. Father in childhood and youth also collectable - coins. Already 40 years old does not replenish the collection, but carefully keeps the collected. At 10 years I began to collect brands. Then packaging of different Curlees, glued models of aircraft, ships, tanks. I threw these hobbies as the accessibility of exhibits rising. It was more interesting to collect weapons. Of course, no real (our current law allows you to arm only criminals), but rather accurate copies. In the seventh grade, we discussed the possibility of opposing the unarmed person an armed person. In a collectively spent experiment, I managed to disarm the member of the dispute that kept a toy gun. I fell into a sunny plexusion with a heel of shoes, abandoned foot from a distance of four or five meters. Rare luck! The gun became my trophy. Now my income is enough for buying no longer children's toys, but airsoft weapons. It is intended for the maximum accurate training simulation of the fighting and very similar to the combat. But it is not suiced. The most expensive exhibit of my collection is the Belgian handmade FN Minimi machine gun in an arrangement with a retractable butt - about $ 700. At the price of $ 2-3 thousand at the cost of $ 2-3 thousand. I don't buy: the toad is pressed ... the most valuable purchase I ever did, the refrigerator. Just more than a strikeball machine gun.

- I read a lot and with pleasure. I draw from books Examples of other options for thinking and raw materials for your own. In addition, it is necessary to work, read the literature on the engineering military business, weapons. From fiction - fiction. In it I prefer the "Alternative History" genre. This is just closely related to my own activities. Alternative history - search for possible points in which minor intervention in the course of events could radically change the whole world. By the way, at the Institute of Times, we wrote a fighter from the life of intelligence officers. Alas, he remained unfinished.

I spend almost all the time that I do not use for Scripture: earning in the main articles and political projects. For 8-12 hours per day I spend on the Internet. I read the "Live Journal", I betray some ideas, point out interesting publications ... sometimes it is a pity to spend time, answering readers, including stupid. But LJ strangely streamlines his own thoughts. So I spend three to six hours a day. If, of course, I do not have, let's say, tournament or trips who keep me away from the Internet.

- Do not get tired of intelligent games? What helps you get rid of overvoltage?

- After a large tournament, I can drink beer or red dry wine of good varieties. This is the fastest way to get rid of the effects of nervous overvoltage, although far from the most useful. But if you drink rarely, it is not scary. In addition, fortunately, alcohol acts on me as a sleeping pill - a natural dosage limiter works. And a week before the game I try not to eat even candies with a liqueur - so as not to risk it. I have a low reaction rate from nature, and with age it becomes even lower.

- New year how and where did you meet?

- By tradition I am leaving for a brother and parents in Odessa. They have their own apartments, so at my disposal - two rooms in a communal service. This is our generic nest: Father's family lived there before the war. In the apartment only two families, and during the overhaul, the dwelling was rebuilt, the corridors remained with the common. So there are no reasons for conflicts. For the winter, parents usually move into my two rooms. The house is located in the city center, and it is easier to get to work from there. In May 2010, Mom fell ill - unfortunately, seriously. And my father continues to work. On the 80th anniversary, he was awarded an honorary sign "For merit to Odessa". I am proud of them!

In the summer and autumn dad and mom prefer their apartment - she has them in the resort area. Not far from their house, by the way, the most famous of Odessa Beach - Arkady. The only place where the sea can be reached

Not for steep slopes, but for a smooth descent. But I have been not going there for years not there, but on the nudist beach - from Arkady to him a little more than a kilometer. I have never experienced any inconvenience at first visiting. Nudist beach is the same place of a family holiday, like any other beach. The only difference is on ordinary beaches children Nagishche, and adults are more or less dressed, there are all the opposite: children are much more often adults. On the Nudist beach, I was once called Irina Morozovskaya - my teamwork "What? Where? When?". She is a psychologist. Thanks for her for the fact that at my request, she has greatly improved in me. In particular, the creative mood released: I learned to talk about what I think, and not just about what I learned from other sources. Irina Borisovna raised my self-confidence and readiness for success.

- I saw your photo at a magazine party for men surrounded by such beauties! The popularity of you does not like?

"I have learned for more than two decades for more than two decades - since May 1990, when" Brane Ring "began showing. Sometimes, of course, I feel the cost of popularity: if I am strongly hurried, I apologize to those who want to get an autograph or take a picture next to me. It's funny that I am often confused with Alexey Alekseevich Venediktov and Gregory Yakovlevich Perelman.

Recently, I often go into the light. I feel comfortable in Tusovka. And I don't really like me that I was invited as an exotic figure. And, if you want, like a fashion model: hardly every party party wants to take pictures on my background. No one confuses that I wear not what the dress code requires, and convenient me things: T-shirts, turtlenecks, jeans, vest ... and that the beard is not shaving for almost 30 years. Stylists of programs in which I remove, from time to time correct her form - this is limited.

I also walked at school - and was the eccentric. And it did not bother me to communicate with classmates. We had a very little fighting in general - in the 1960s, the school was kept seriously. But I got a couple of times, and there was enough ridiculous. I was far from the only exceedress at school and began to realize it sooner to understand that other no worse than me. My long-term partner in the team of intellectual games Roman Grigorievich Morozovsky loves to repeat: "The inscription on the mirror:" Others are no better. " In my case, the inscription on the mirror sounds like this: "Others are no worse."

Anatoly Alexandrovich Wasserman - Unicum man, known in the Soviet Union as an engineer, in the 90s - as a member of the intellectual games "What? Where? When? "," His game "(became the champion of the game 15 times in a row)," Brain Ring ". In the mid-2000s, the Personality of Wasserman was popularly popular thanks to the "Onotole" with the "Jokes" and jokes about his vest with pockets.

Now Wasserman is also known as a publicist, writer, political consultant, blogger and TV presenter. Lived his own blog in the live journal and the entertainment show "Takea of \u200b\u200bthe brain" on YouTube, where you invited the idols of young people - rappers and bloggers. Together with his brother, Vladimir wrote and published several interesting books about Odessa.

Childhood and family

When in the winter of 1952, in the Odessa family, the Heat Pictures of Alexander Wasserman and an accountant-economist Lina Ilinichny Baum was born a boy, he was called Anatoly - in honor of the grandfather, a military doctor.

Grandfather, Anatoly Solomonovich, spent almost all his life in the Red Army: first the doctor's assistant in the civil war in 1919-1920, then, at the end of the Odessa Medkandard, served as a doctor in 51 Perekopian division. From 1926 he worked at the artillery school, and after demobilization became a district therapist. In 1939 he was again called in the army.

At the Finnish war, he served as a doctor in the Schorsov division, he treated frowning and sick soldiers of the Red Army, took out the wounded surroundings. Later, his grandson told him that the grandfather even presented to the Order of the Red Star, which for 1940 it was very honorable. But since the division commander was shot for passivity surrounded, Anatoly Solomonovich did not receive his deserved award.

In the Great Patriotic War, Vasserman Vasserman received a heavy contusion, demobilized from the army a year before the victory, and in 1949 he died, three years before the birth of a grandson who remembered the sign with the inscription on the doors:

On the doors of our Odessa generic socket still hangs the name "Wasserman to call 1 time". It is filled with gold letters on the back of thick glass, and then on top of the letters flooded in a carcass so that the letters look better on a black background. After the death of his grandfather, the word "doctor" above the surname is diligently cleaned by gold and smeared the same ink.

Grandmother of Toli, Liba Himimna (Efimovna's love) Kizer-Wasserman, sometimes took the baby to the Tuberculous Sanatorium "Arkady", where he worked as a phthisiatre doctor for more than thirty years and was awarded the title "Honor Healthcare".

Father, Doctor of Technical Sciences, was immersed in science and teaching work. Toles up to eight years have been granted homework (which Mom was engaged), because in childhood he was a weak child and constantly sick. Its technique brought fruits: the boy was fluent about four years later, and fourteen himself read the 15-Tomny directory of mechanical engineering and tried to explain to his younger brother Volodya, that as it was arranged and why.

His fascinated world of engineering structures, especially crashed into memory and liked the teenage term "forging rings", which he bragled among peers and which meant the type of metalworking.

In the secondary school of Tole came immediately into the second class, but everything often sick and missed the lessons. In fact, the study lasted at home. And when it came to the classroom, I did homework for several boys who mumbled over the incompass and forever with a frowning point. Thomey even transferred to another school because of this. The older the boy became, the more problems he had in school: no longer only with peers, but also with teachers whom he could fix the lesson, explaining the subject instead of them.

Education

The erudition and the supernatural volume of knowledge played with Anatoly the evil joke: the certificate was the most ordinary, the excellent student did not become. But immediately after school, playing became a student of the Odessa Technological Institute of the Refrigeration Industry. In the third year, he wrote the first computer program to solve a specific task (and not for educational purposes), and after all, in the courtyard stood 1972.

The institute is interested in politics. I re-read up the collected works by Charles Marx and Friedrich Engels, and then successively passed the works of Vladimir Lenin.

With a specialty "Engineer-thermophysics", Anatoly graduated from the university and went to work at the NGO "Holmash". At the same time, the new word "programmer" was only part of the sphere of professions, and Wasserman, who worked on three years in Kholmash, moved to the Research Institute of Pogolovavtomatik to the position of a system programmer.

Mind games

Encyclopedic extensive knowledge led to the employee of the Research Institute of the Selection Competitions of the Intellectual Television Game "What? Where? When?" In 1989, his debut was held on All-Union Television. Over the course of several years, he was a member of the Nural Latypov team.

What? Where? When? Release with Anatoly Wasserman (1991)

When he was invited to the Odessa team, Viktor Morokhovsky, together with another intellectual, Boris Budo, they became a bright and memorable tandem in the "Brain Ring", a new program on television.

But the most brilliant was his participation in another competition of intellects on TV called "Own Game". In Him, Anatoly became the first record holder, winning fifteen times in a row and having received the deserved title of "Best Player of the Decade." It would seem that it would be possible to be built, but Wasserman with the sense of self-irony inherent in him did not begin and explained in one of the interviews why:

When almost three decades participate in intellectual games, it is very difficult to feel your superiority. After all, they have not only victories, but also defeats. There is such an anecdote about Israel. It is usually told among those who wondered about emigration. Anecdote such. Above the entrance of the airport Ben-Gurion hangs a poster with the inscription: "Keep in mind, there are all so smart." And since I am constantly in a medium where "all so smart," it was completely learned from the adventures of superiority over the surrounding.

Confirmation of his words was the participation of Wasserman and in less well-known television games - "Announced", "Games of Mind", where he performed as a rival guests of the show.

The identity of a unique erudite has become almost the "national treasure", which began to compose bikes and jokes, "Facts about Wasserman", publish memes. The famous "expert" itself was completely loyal to such ambiguous popularity and even participated in the viral advertising of the online store, in which he got rid of his inalienable attribute - vests with many pockets.

Journalist and political protection

The famous erudite has repeatedly stated that he is engaged only by the fact that he really fascinates, and that his whole work is part of his numerous hobbies. The next such hobby of Wasserman, which turned into work was the field of political journalism and journalism.

Extremely categorical in some judgments, Anatoly caused "fire on himself" when he decided to run into the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. His statements that the Ukrainian language is just a Russian dialect, as well as the fact that Ukraine must be acceded to Russia, they did not give him the opportunity to gain the right number of votes in 1994 to express himself on the political arena of Ukraine.

Somewhat later, rumors that Wasserman could offer his candidacy for the post of mayor of Odessa, but no confirmation or refutation from his part followed, and the press subsided. Anatoly, meanwhile, moved to Moscow and began to give political advice to many known as at that time, and today, politicians. In parallel, he published his articles in various publications, and then began blogging in a live journal, where with his own freedomsiness placed his own reflections, opinions, notes.

Wasserman about the future of Ukraine

Intellectual did not adhere to a clear schedule. The usual working day for Wasserman at that time depended on the intended and unplanned meetings, weather, the presence or absence of products in the refrigerator. At the lowest opportunity, Anatoly tried to see all emails, to answer the requested response, to visit the sites - information and discussion, get acquainted with the news on the main TV channels. As he himself said: "Information is the mother of intuition." And on her gathering spent four to six hours a day. In the remaining time - everything else.

From 2008 to 2010, Anatoly was the publisher of the ISS Idea Research Journal, specializing in computer technologies. In 2010 and 2012, there was a participant in the election campaigns in the city of his childhood, Odessa. Dozens of times remotely participated in various regional election campaigns throughout Russia, but he himself believed that his main work was not so much pre-election, how much the work of a publicist and a political consultant on many issues of current policy. It was precisely because I led to the Ren-TV transmission "Vasserman's reaction" and "open text", and on the radio station "Komsomolskaya Pravda" - a talk show "Arbor with Anatoly Wasserman".

"Reaction" of Wasserman. year 2013

In January 2016, the national heritage and a citizen of Ukraine became a citizen of Russia. In the new status, he took part in the elections as a candidate for deputies on the regional list of the capital from "Fair to the State Duma. In the district turned out to be the second, he was ahead of the United Russia Evgeny Zharkov.

Wasserman was not upset because he believed that it would always be interesting tasks for him. According to him, the economy and politics as its concentrated expression are quite simple to understand the key laws of a sensible person. But when it comes to the interaction of these patterns, it is difficult to determine the chain of the consequences and work will already be here for a political consultant:

It is necessary to choose the theory indicating that more important and improve it as discrepancies are found between its forecasts and subsequent events. I most often manage to find the right forecasts, it means that I develop the theory in a reasonable direction. Therefore, I am addressed for clarification.

Writer and Bibliophil

As before, at Anatoly Wasserman in the house, the unpeal number of books that he began to collect in childhood, continuing the family tradition. In addition, the publicist since 2010 began and writing activities. The debut on this field was the book "Russia, including Ukraine: unity or death." Almost follows, "chronic comments to Russian history" and "skeletons in the history closet" appear.

Together with Brother, Vladimir, whom Anatoly considers much smarter herself, wrote "Walking through smart places. Something for Odessa "and several other books, distinguished by a light style, ironic humor and genuine love for both homelands - Ukraine and Russia. In the bibliography of the brothers there are also books to increase intelligence, developing encyclopedias, guidebooks in the form of fascinating stories.

Himself a stylist

Only lazy did not ask what was wearing Wasserman in his famous vest and why he goes into her at all. But the thing is that, in one of the life periods, Anatoly had to work on the beetral plants, and there were cases when he sat down in the engine room in two-three days. And then he understood how many things necessary for him lacking at hand. In 1986, he independently sewed his first vest with many pockets, in each of which everyone was located, in his opinion, the necessary things.

Among them - chargers, grids, bags, a special knife with a spike - a device to save people in an accident. A ship blow with an accident can quickly split the glass of the car. Anatoly bears with him as a collective subject, but he likes to think that if (God forbid, of course), trouble will happen, he will be able to help people. Later, Wasserman began to order vests, and then trousers designed by him in the firm "Overalls". The weight of the vest earlier was 7 kg, but with age, the eruit facilitated the load.

Personal life Anatoly Wasserman

Anatoly Wasserman is a virgin unwittingly. However, he himself confessed himself, in his student years, Erudite gave any celibacy and he keeps him to this day. The complete absence of practicing Anatoly compensated for in-depth study of the theory. In his home, in addition to many books in arms, there is a fair collection of erotic publications, which he began to collect even in Soviet times and it replenishes it from time to time.

Nevertheless, in one of the gears about Asexuals, where Anatoly was invited, as he ironically reported, "as an exhibit", he warned the organizers that if at least someone would call him about him as a positive example of a failure of sexual life, then he It will not be lazy and personally "misses the muzzle" to the citizen:

I have a standard congratulation at weddings: "Congratulations to the newlyweds that I did not repeat my mistake," said Wasserman in one of the interviews.

Despite the vow of celibacy, which Anatoly, after the past, called the stupidity, expensive to him and did not bring the obvious benefit, he repeatedly stated that he had no need to marry the continuation of the genus nor to use the services of a surrogate mother in his head. Especially since his "smart actually, and not as I, racing" Brother already revealed the world to the heiress of the genus of Wassermans. The niece of his Anatoly is very proud of.

Anatoly Wasserman is now, etc.). Wasserman voiced incredible facts, and his interlocutors had to guess, the truth is or not. If the guest was wrong, Anatoly fired him in his face from the gun. But the show lasted about a year, and if the first issue collected more than a million views, afterwards the number of viewers fell.
