== History == It was created in 1972 by the Odesa KVN team after the all-Union KVN contests and the corresponding TV show were discontinued. Young members of the team in protest decided to come up with a special festival of laughter. The name arose by analogy with the Kinomarina (English: Filmarina) film festival taking place at that time, and so the name appeared – Humorina. Such a pun was characteristic of the satirical performances of comedians on the KVN TV show.
