In the USSR there were many wonderful cartoons (like I said this today). But if you asked the question, what kind of cartoon do you like most, the vast majority of children in the 70s - 80s answered - "Well, wait!" Yes, and adults with pleasure watched the series about the adventures of the charming hooligan Wolf and not that very simple Hare
They say that initially "Well, wait!" was a state order - the officials decided to give the Disney cartoons adequate response and allocated a solid budget for those times. I do not know how true this is. Disney cartoons in those years could not be competitors of our animation. Not because they were worse, no. Nakobort, the Disney cartoon has always been the standard. And the Soviet animators at first learned exactly from the Disney cartoons. With Disney's cartoons at that time, our viewer was simply not familiar
So it was or not, it does not matter. Young, popular and well-known comedians of Kurlyandsky, Hait, Kamov and Uspensky were invited to the Soyuzmultfilm studio and asked to do something funny. Courland with Hayth came up with a plot. We decided that this should be a film-chase. We chose who is chasing whom, we sorted out different characters: first we thought about taking a fox and a rooster, then - a fox and a hare, and finally stopped on a wolf and a hare as the most familiar characters for our folklore. Their invention, in their opinion, was that the Wolf is a duroshlep, not such a Disney villain, but a character himself often falling into a pit that he digs to others. At first the Kamov helped to invent video cameras, but then only Courland with Hayth remained.
The history of this cartoon began even before the creation of the first, familiar to everyone, release. In 1969, the director Gennady Sokolsky was shot the first series, the main idea of which formed the basis of the famous series.
However, his images of the Wolf and the Hare were censored. It was recommended to radically change the image of the characters, ennoble them - the leadership felt the Wolf and the Hare are too evil, and Soviet children need good characters. The artist did not go to alteration and refused to continue working. Later, the graphics, humor, age and appearance of the characters changed, however, the main idea was unchanged.
After Sokolsky, many directors refused to seem like a simple trick, they said: "Well, what is this?" What's the idea ?! It's shallow! ". And Vyacheslav Kotenochkin said: "There is something in this!".
"The hare at once has turned out to me, - V.Kotyonochkin told, - with blue eyes, pink cheeks, in general very positive.
And the Wolf did not work out for a long time. Then on the street I saw a guy leaning against the wall of the house. He had long black hair, a cigarette stuck to his thick lips, his tummy fell out, and I realized that this was what the Wolf should have been "

Kotyonochkin wanted the Wolf to voice Vysotsky, make samples of his voice with a hoarse voice. Vysotsky approached the matter with enthusiasm, he even intended to write a song for the Wolf. But then censorship intervened - the bard was banned.
Endorsed the unmatched Anatoly Papanov.
As a welcome to Vysotsky in the first series, Wolf wails the melody of the song "Vertical" ("If a friend was suddenly ...") - when climbing the rope to the Hare.
For the role of the hare without any samples took Clara Rumyanov
And already at the show of the first series the cartoon broke off a standing ovation. Since 1969 every year a new series appeared on the screens. The epithet "folk" has firmly joined the series. Several times Kotenochkin was ready to say goodbye to Volk and Zayets and put an end to the work on the cartoon, but was inferior to the numerous requests of the audience.
"Well, wait!" - a story of everyday life, the routine of the 70's. That daily routine, which is not documented in official sources, but remains only in the memory of the country. Instead of a cartoon about "what is good and what is bad," Kotenochkin has a socially adapted cartoon-era, openly ironic and disobedient.
On the screen - clear recognizable types. The wolf-petehushnik and now you can meet in the evening in the sleeping area.

The hare from the positive hero turned into another beast.

Its weakness is fake. A small growth and a modest build compel him to be resourceful, but guided by an innate cunning, he manages to provoke the Wolf, and plenty to mock him.
Once Rusakov, an artist, stood in line for vodka, and before him one peasant said to another: "The wolf is us, the hard worker, and the hare is an intellectual. No matter how we try to grab him, he always gets out. "
And all events develop against the backdrop of Soviet life. Around - the atmosphere of "cultural recreation" of citizens. Aesopian beasts from "Well, wait!" Have fun in the Luna Park ...
... go to the circus ...
... and the museum ...
... ride a boat ...
... attending concerts ...
... and go in for sports
Live the most that neither is an ordinary life. Here and after a dozen episodes of the Hare moves to a cozy one-room flat
The wolf vegetates in his bachelor lair with tattered wallpaper on the walls
And around - the city landscape - five-story Khrushchev.
In a word, the cartoon turned out to be very "own" and understandable to every inhabitant of that country. His "nationality" from the first series did not need proofs
Long searched for a phrase that would not only correspond to the plot, but would give the viewer hope for a continuation. Various options were discussed: "Well, wait!", "Well, wait!" ... But the point in this dispute was put by Felix Kamov, saying: "Well, wait!"
When one of the writers - Felix Kamov - went to Israel, which was tantamount to the betrayal of the Motherland, the authorities were reinsured, and "Well, wait!" After a while, Papanov was awarded in the Kremlin. The then chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, Nikolai Podgorny, asked him how things were going with "Well, wait!" "They have a conflict in the studio. Someone went abroad abroad, "answered Papanov. "Well, someone stayed! Podgorny exclaimed and added: "By the way, I like this cartoon film, and my children and comrades too." Returning to the studio, Papanov spoke about this dialogue, and soon the cartoon was again put into work.

In the animated series used a lot of popular tunes of the 1960-1980, many of which were taken from the archives of the All-Union radio, or from vinyl records from the personal collections of the sound engineers of the series. In the "Well, wait!" Musical works by Alla Pugacheva, Shik Buarke, Gerba Alpert, NA Rimsky-Korsakov, Digital Emotion, Bill Hailey, James Last, Pesnyaryov, Earthmen, Edita Pyekha, Muslim Magomayev, Paul Moriah, Franck Pursel, Earl Scruggs, Igor Sklyar and others.
The music in the screensaver of each series is the Hungarian melody "Vízisí" ("Water skis"). The author of music is Deák Tamás, performed by the Hungarian vocal ensemble Harmony and the Hungarian radio dance orchestra (Magyar Rádió Tánczenekara).
In the 1970s, the cartoon program on Central Television was usually preceded by a brief animated intro (later used as a prologue to "TV shows"). Under the musical accompaniment of the credits to "Well, wait!" The wolf was chasing Zayets, and other characters of popular cartoons gradually joined them. As a result, the whole company was in the Ostankino television center, where the Hare, without taking his eyes off the screen, dismissed the Wolf's attempt to seize him: "Ts-s! Wait for it". The wolf turned to the side of the screen and forgot about Zajce
The creative association "Ekran" filmed three telecasts "Well, wait!" (Issue 1 - 1980, issues 2 and 3 (single film) - 1981). Instead of A. Papanov, the Wolf is voiced by V. Ferapontov. The author of the script is A. Kurlyandsky. The director is Yury Butyrin. Composers - V. Kuprevich (issue 1), Alexey Rybnikov and Yevgeny Krylatov (issues 2 and 3). Vyacheslav Kotyonochkin in his memoirs and public speeches gave an extremely low rating to these issues, qualifying them as "wretched durnovkusie"
After Papanov's death, the problem again arose: should the cartoon be closed?
But it turned out that the sound engineer carefully saved all the records of the actor, and they were used in new series after the actor's death. To replace Papanov's voice with someone else then they did not dare - out of respect for the memory of the artist
In the new series, the heroes were not drawn by the "ancestor" Kotenochkin, a senior (he is not alive), but his son, a professional artist. The wolf was voiced by Igor Khristenko as Papanov, the "Curved Mirror" actor Yevgeny Petrosyan.
In addition to the main series of cartoon characters used in the newsreel "Wick":
The release, entitled "Do not touch with your hands!" (1977) criticized the quality of the glass plant's products. In this clip, a paraphrased threat sounds from the lips of the Wolf: "Well, the glass factory, wait!". Also, an issue was published entitled "Prohibited Reception" (1978), criticizing the placement in the newspaper "Soviet Sport" of advertisements on admission of athletes to secondary special educational institutions ("Well, editorial staff, wait!"). The director of both issues was Vyacheslav Kotyonochkin. During the same period, issues were also made about defective shoes ("Amazing shoes"), musical instruments ("Fake motive").
Yury Butyrin also filmed social clips "Window", "Crane", "Spring", "Elevator", "Bath" (all - 1986) with the same characters, and in 1987, was removed at least nine social videos featuring Wolf and Hare. Alexander Fedulov withdrew: "Not knowing the code ...", "Nazlo hare!", "Restless Night" and "Heat". Vadim Medzhibovsky took off: "Let there be light!", "Power", "Recipe", "Word and deed" and "Leaving, extinguish the light." The design of the characters in these videos differed from the original
There is a drawing film "The Magic Chamber", commissioned by the RDCs Dawn (Soyuzmultfilm, 1976, directed by Victor Arsentiev, screenwriter Arkady Hite, production directors Vladimir Krumin, Alexander Vinokurov), which is devoted to the propaganda of film-making. In a witty animated plot, the movie camera Quartz 1x8 P-2 is advertised. In the film there are heroes "Well, wait!" - Hare and Wolf.
In 1994, Vyacheslav Kotyonochkin also produced a promotional video of "Joyta" sweets with the participation of characters from "Well, wait!". The wolf in it was voiced by Vladimir Ferapontov
It remains to mention that at the end of August 2012 after the discussion in VGTRK of the categorization of the cartoon in accordance with the law "On protecting children from information damaging to their health and development" that came into effect on 1 September 2010, there were rumors on the Internet ostensibly the accepted decision to carry it because of scenes of violence or smoking to a category "18+" and to show on TV without notes only after 23:00. In the following discussion, the possibility of excluding a cartoon from categorization was mentioned because of its cultural value. At the beginning of September, some sites reported that it was about limiting the display not of this cartoon, but of a Swedish film with the same Russian name, released in 2008, and categorized as 18 +
