Leaving Channel One - for Russian media It's been a week now. While everyone was discussing the unexpected career decision of the TV presenter and his maternity leave, and some were replaced by others, Malakhov himself remained silent and only. Finally, he decided to dot all the i’s and gave a big and frank interview publication "Kommersant", in which he spoke about the reasons for leaving, the birth of a long-awaited child and new job.

Malakhov confirmed that he will now work on the VGTRK channel "Russia 1" - in the program "Andrey Malakhov. Live", in which he will be both a presenter and a producer. According to the journalist, he had long dreamed of his own TV show, because he had long outgrown “Let Them Talk” and “Tonight”:

Although you have become a popular TV presenter, you still work with the same people who treat you like the son of the regiment. This is a situation where your colleagues came much later, but already have their own projects. And you still have the same old status. You are expected to be the "talk-to-the-ear" host, but you already have something to talk about with your viewers. It's like in family life: at first there was love, then it grew into a habit, and at some point it was a marriage of convenience,

- Malakhov said.

I want to grow, to become a producer, a person who makes decisions, including determining what my program should be about. The TV season ended, I decided that I needed to close this door and try myself in a new capacity in a new place,

- the TV presenter emphasized. with producer Natalya Nikonova, who once came up with “Let Them Talk” and this year returned to Channel One after a long break, Malakhov did not expand, significantly noting that “you have to be consistent in love and dislike.”

Malakhov noted that he warned the channel’s management in advance that he was going to leave, but at First they didn’t believe him for a long time. Resignation letter and letter to CEO channel, the TV presenter wrote to Konstantin Ernst on the first day of his vacation. With Ernst, by the way, Malakhov had serious conversation, in which they discussed "the future of television and what the new season might hold."

This conversation was superimposed on the fact that I was due to have a baby in November, and I said that I needed to devote at least a day a week to what I was talking about for a long time dreamed. But this whole story is not a conflict with the channel’s management. I have deep respect for Konstantin Lvovich. Moreover, he understands what a blessing it is to become a father and that there is life beyond the daily struggle for ratings,

Let us remind you that Andrei Malakhov’s departure from Channel One became known at the end of July. It soon became clear that the star's wife, Natalya Shkuleva, and TV presenter was planning to take maternity leave. There was conflicting information about Malakhov’s career future, but after footage of the program “Let Them Talk” with Dmitry Borisov appeared on the network, it became clear that this future would definitely not be connected with Channel One.

My relationship with Channel One and my new job are unrelated things. I left the First because it was time

- says Malakhov, whose new program we will see on the air very soon.

"I want to grow"

Andrei Malakhov explained his departure from Channel One

TV presenter Andrei Malakhov said that his departure from Channel One was due to the desire for professional growth. He stated this in an interview with the Kommersant newspaper.

“I want to grow, to become a producer, a person who makes decisions, including determining what my program should be about, and not giving up my whole life and looking like a puppy into the eyes of people changing during this time. The TV season ended, I decided that I needed to close this door and try myself in a new capacity in a new place,” Malakhov said. When asked about the reasons for the conflict with Channel One producer Natalya Nikonova, Malakhov did not answer. “Can I leave this without comment? I have always believed that one must be consistent in love and dislike. It’s unusual for me to change my set of beliefs as if by magic. “I’ll end the story here,” he said.

Malakhov said that he came to television as a student. "I was fascinated by it big world and started by running for coffee during the day and going to the stall for vodka for television legends at night. And although you have become a popular TV presenter, you still work with the same people who treat you like the son of the regiment,” the presenter explained. He added that his colleagues, who came to television much later, are already managing their own projects. “And you still have the same old status. You’re expected to be a talk-on host, but you already have something to talk about with your viewers,” he added.

In the publication StarHit, of which Malakhov is the editor-in-chief, he also published open letter Konstantin Ernst and the people with whom he worked. In it, the TV presenter said goodbye to his colleagues and personally thanked many of them. “Dear Konstantin Lvovich! 45 years is an important milestone in a man’s life, 25 of which I gave to you and Channel One. These years have become part of my DNA and I remember every minute you dedicated to me. Thanks a lot for everything you did, for the experience that you gave me, for amazing trip along the television road of life that we walked together,” wrote Malakhov, addressing the general director of Channel One.

Promo clip new program Malakhov on the Russia 1 channel, called “Hello, Andrey!”, published on the StarHit channel on YouTube.

Let us remind you that on July 31, the media reported that TV presenter Andrei Malakhov was moving from Channel One to VGTRK. According to the BBC Russian Service, the transition could be due to the fact that the channel’s management decided to add political topics, although previously the program specialized in discussing the social agenda and show business. The initiator of the change in agenda was producer Natalya Nikonova, who has been working on the program since May.

The next topic for discussion on the talk show “Let Them Talk” a couple of weeks ago was Andrei Malakhov himself. Which is not surprising. IN Lately that's all they talk about: the presenter wrote a letter of resignation and left Channel One, will soon appear on Rossiya 1, is going on maternity leave. I felt somehow worried about Andrey.

“I am still alive,” Malakhov met me on the threshold of his own apartment.

Telegrams with this phrase (“I’m still alive” translated into Russian) were sent to his friends by the Japanese conceptual artist On Kawara. Andrei purchased one of them at an auction and gave it to his wife Natasha. The telegram is dated: the day and year of her birth.

– Andrey, your open letter about leaving Channel One was published in StarHit magazine. But I don’t even believe my eyes anymore. Tell me personally: are you really not coming back?

- Yes! You can take a lie detector test. 25 years of my life devoted to Channel One are over, and I am moving forward.

– Still, you have: ratings, fame, money... What was missing?

- Everything was enough. But at some point a crisis came.

– The same one, middle-aged?

- To a mild degree. Yes, I turned 45 in January. And then before the birthday there was a crisis of the genre in absolutely everything. Starting with programs that began to seem secondary: this was already in The Simpsons, and ending with complete dissatisfaction with their position. I have always been submissive. A human soldier following orders. And I wanted independence. I looked at my colleagues: they became producers of their programs and began to make decisions themselves. And suddenly the understanding came: life goes on, and you need to grow, get out of the tight confines.

Capricorns are like that. They climb, they try, and then they send everyone off and go climb somewhere else.

– In addition to understanding, you also need to find the strength within yourself to move away from your comfort zone?

– Sometimes there is no other option. Some karmic stories were added to the understanding. On April 25 at 18:45 they called me and told me that we were changing the studio and had to leave Ostankino. And Ostankino is my second home. It has its own aura and energy. Our team also never changed the studio. This was a place of power. We came in and understood what needed to be done. I was left without a home and a familiar atmosphere. And when I saw a new room a thousand meters away from our backstage two hundred, I realized that this was probably the point. I simply can’t handle a studio of this size.

- This is deceit, of course.

- Maybe. But when you have the end of the season, a new location for filming, you physically cannot do anything wrong, you begin to engage in soul-searching, unnecessary self-destruction. You think that you and the presenter are so-so, and nothing works out, and your time is up... And then they sent me a video of how the “Let Them Talk” studio was being dismantled. I don’t know what to compare what I felt with. Probably, if they brought me to the morgue and showed how they dissect a person close to you... And just like that - drop by drop - they burned out everything that was dear, to which I was mentally attached. Then you realize that you have been building something for so many years and cannot afford to disappear like that. You understand that it has arrived new stage. You must close this door.

Antenna editor-in-chief Elena Krasnikova and StarHit editor-in-chief Andrey Malakhov

- With what force?

- Without slamming in any way. Namely, close it with complete gratitude in your soul. With respect and great warmth to the people with whom I worked. This is the most important thing - to learn to be grateful. When you give warmth and kindness to people, it always comes back in one form or another. This is my main internal motto – and in my work as well. I honestly brought the season to the end. And - again a coincidence - they called me from the Russia 1 channel and offered me to become the producer of my own program. A person who will decide for himself what to do, how to conduct and what topics to cover.

- That's all? So I decided, spat and went?

– Natasha recently read a book about Capricorns. She said that people of this sign are exactly like this: they crawl and crawl for a long time, climb, try, break their nails, and then suddenly they send everyone away and go climb to another place.

Although, of course, it would be nice to retire with one entry in your employment record. Even now I was one of the dinosaurs left on the First.

– Leonid Arkadyevich Yakubovich feels good in the role of a dinosaur.

- He's special. Leonid Arkadyevich writes programs on Sundays, when there is no one in the television center. Starts at 8 am, works through eight programs. If there is a delay of more than 15 minutes, he gets up and leaves. Thus, he visits the empty Ostankino once every two months and the rest of the time he does not see or hear anyone. And then, he doesn’t fight for themes, doesn’t catch heroes...

-...they themselves come with jars and pies...

- That's it, we have different stories A little.

On the wall is a work by British artist Julian Opie

“I remember the story about how you quit Good Morning.” And caring colleagues collected your things in boxes and put them in front of the door. Since then I haven’t brought anything extra to work. So now there are no boxes at all?

– All the TEFI figurines remain in Ostankino. And over there, in the next room, there are two boxes. But I took them out myself so that they wouldn’t expose me.

-Can I have a look? It’s just interesting what a person accumulates over 25 years of work.

“Let’s go...” Andrey opens the box and shows what’s inside. – Funny New Year cards. People just send them knowing that I collect themed stamps redeemed on December 31st, for example.

Book by Irina Ponarovskaya. I want to do an interview with her; she hasn’t talked about herself for many years. And thus I visualize the desire.

ABOUT! An old cassette from “The Jerry Springer Show” (the American “grandfather” of “Let Them Talk”). It was wildly popular when I was studying in America. Prayer book. A device for measuring pressure.

Everything acquired through backbreaking labor: the contents of a box from Ostankino

- Such a daddy of vanity.

- Yes Yes. Show it to your children and grandchildren.

What else? The photographs were clearly taken at work. Magazine published during the premiere of “The Big Wash”, 2001. And look at the headline: “Andrei Malakhov is becoming more serious.” And finally it became, apparently.

Photo with Zykina, CDs with songs by Katya Semenova. Medal for covering the Olympics. A set of miniature books with Vysotsky, gift. And a refreshing spray for the face. Here.

- It’s kind of sad...

- So, what... In the next world, this won’t be needed either.

– No, no, no, stop, we’re talking about a new life. Your departure is news number one. And there are a lot of rumors on the Internet. Can you comment to close this topic once and for all?

– You are repeating the path of Maxim Galkin, who unsuccessfully went to “Russia”... This is not my statement. People are exaggerating.

- Hm. The big debate here is, you know, how unfortunate. Maxim Galkin went so far as to build himself a huge castle in Gryazi, give birth to children in his free time from broadcasting, educate himself, and enjoy life. He hosted the top-rated “Dancing with the Stars” for six years. And he returned in the prime of his life.

And let me remind you: management learned about Maxim Galkin’s departure from his own press conference in live. I, as a team member, gave two months’ notice about leaving. IN farewell letter I even wrote that part of Channel One’s DNA flows in my blood...

It’s a big debate, do you know how unsuccessfully Maxim Galkin went to “Russia”

- In a letter?

- Yes, I wanted to explain myself this way. When you say something, it may not always be heard. And the letter... You can re-read it.

– Rumor number two: the departure was provoked by Dmitry Shepelev, who was allegedly brought in to replace you.

- Oh no. I'm not a child and I know my worth.

– They started trying Dmitry Borisov as the host of “Let Them Talk”, who is now being shown on air.

– By that time, my application had been on the channel for a month. It is clear that you need to look for someone.

– Are you going on maternity leave?!

– Natasha will soon become a mother. And I actually had the idea of taking a little vacation. But in the schedule in which I worked for the last two months, I would not have had time to meet my wife from the maternity hospital.

– That is, the reason for leaving is, after all, a conflict with the new producer of “Let Them Talk” Natalya Nikonova.

- Can I remain silent...

– Andrey, what will the program you are producing be like? And I hope you're not planning on sitting behind the scenes!

– Title “Andrey Malakhov. Live". And this is the same Andrei Malakhov in the frame that everyone is used to, just with more freedom of action, a greater understanding of what the viewer needs.

In the background: Nadya Leger’s carpet from the collection of the author of “Wait for Me” Konstantin Simonov

– Do you think the audience of “Let Them Talk” will leave behind you? Or will there be another? In general, who are you working for?

– Sometimes some programs are launched in such a way that even schoolchildren begin to discuss them primary classes. It is impossible to predict who will turn on the TV today or who will watch it on the Internet today. Everyone has set-top boxes, delayed viewing, now no one needs to rush to a certain time so as not to miss something important. But what will always work is word of mouth: have you seen it? did you hear? what do you think? I don’t believe it when people say that they haven’t heard anything about Dana Borisova or Diana Shurygina. We heard. And they know for sure that they heard it from me. It is important to feel the mood that will hook a person right now.

I don’t believe it when people say that they haven’t heard anything about Diana Shurygina or Dana Borisova. We heard. From me

– Can you give an example of which of your colleagues feels this?

Lena Letuchaya felt the time (the presenter, by the way, was the editor of the “Let Them Talk”) program. Today she is a bigger star than many leading national channels. Because the content that Lena offered hit the nerves and mood of the audience. After all, everyone walks around the cafe. And many are unhappy with the quality of food or service. So, the fight for consumer rights made her name a brand. By analogy with contemporary art This is a picture that should hook you at a certain moment. Then you can grow out of it. But if the work doesn’t immediately make you think, it means it’s not your art or the artist is not able to touch on anything.

– What touches you in paintings? Tell.

Let's say I have a work by Serge Golovach. You look and think that this is a photo from the late 20s. Some kind of parade. And for some reason Mayakovsky is in the foreground. But in fact it is May 1, 2006 in St. Petersburg. And from work you feel like nothing really changes around you. And people are the same. And even Mayakovsky is walking around St. Petersburg somewhere. It's about the idea. Sometimes the very name of the artist can touch you. You were amazed by some of his masterpieces at one time, but you cannot buy it. And he is able to afford a piece of what the master had a hand in.

– I saw Glazunov on the wall...

- Yes. I was 12 years old. We went to Ilya Glazunov's exhibition at Manege. Shel pouring rain, there was a huge queue. And we are in it together with my Aunt Ira. She's wearing a very beautiful soft blue jacket and a hat... She just returned from France. And I! I'm 12 years old and I'm in love with her. And so we go inside and see this “Russian beauty”. I was stunned... And those drawings on the wall that you saw, they take me back to childhood. Everything in them is covered with snow, like in Apatity. The old woman is wandering. And I see my mother, she is going to the temple...

– Which construction did you invest in?

“My dad started the construction. Then, Kingdom of Heaven, he was gone. It was necessary to continue my father's work. Two years ago we did beautiful road to the temple. Soon, if possible, we will erect a monument to Pushkin by Tsereteli in Apatity.

Under the poster of Valery Barykin, Soviet pin-up style. Right: Vladislav Mamyshev-Monroe as Marilyn. There is an art object on the windowsill: a bomb damaged by an explosion. Symbolizes what our planet will turn into in case of war

– Will the monument fit in the city?

- Yes. The work of Zurab Konstantinovich, like the “Let Them Talk” program, evokes different feelings. But I believe that over time his work will be perceived completely differently. So, in Apatity there is a library and a park named after Pushkin. And Alexander Sergeevich will sit there on the bench. Small. Anyone can sit next to him and take a photo. Let the monument become a new landmark of the city.

– Andrey, why don’t you transport the main attraction of Apatity – your mother – to Moscow?

– I dream about this and have offered all sorts of options. He doesn't want to. She continues to work in kindergarten, works there with children with low vision. Even now. There is a crisis, many have not left and continue to take their children to kindergarten. Mom organizes endless matinees there. I call and ask what you have today. And she: dandelion day, airborne forces day, watermelon day.

- But I don’t live here. Moved in with my wife. Here, on this sofa, I study French. The teacher comes twice a week at 9:30 am. I also use this apartment as a warehouse or dressing room so that Natasha doesn’t have to be cluttered with her things.

If someone comes, I give the keys to friends. It is convenient to organize parties here. We sat, drank, closed the door and went our separate ways. And then the cleaning lady came and cleaned everything up...

How are your family evenings going? What is Saturday evening with Andrei Malakhov like?

- Differently. Once every two months we visit our mother-in-law and father-in-law at the dacha. And such a mini-report takes place: how is everyone doing, how is the family living, an exchange of views on current issues. Or the two of us can go somewhere. The change of environment slightly expands the time, and it feels like there was not just one day off, but many, many days. Although we can stay at home and watch the series “ House of cards", ordering food from a restaurant.

In the evenings we definitely drink tea. I never know when I’ll come home from work, so drinking tea is the moment when Natasha and I can talk about everything, discuss what’s worrying us, important point home society, creating a personal aura.

– How did Natasha react to your desire to change jobs?

“She said she would accept any decision.” But internally, of course, she understood: since I took responsibility for supporting the family, I know what I’m doing.

- Mmmm... Does your wife need to be supported?

- She's a girl! She needs to buy some clothes, jewelry, handbags, and cosmetics in the spring and fall. A man can be called a man when he is able to do beautiful things towards his beloved. Yes, Natasha works herself. She has a family that will always help her. But I am a husband. I have to take care of her. They write that our parents bought us an apartment. And this sounds a little funny in a situation where the whole country knows Malakhov, and Forbes reports that I earn millions. In general, it’s time to finally earn these millions!

- So far for the godchildren. I was specifically looking for those same picture books from the USSR.

(45) is inevitably associated throughout the country with the scandalous program “Let Them Talk” - together with the studio, he finds out where the Rusfond money went, who is to blame for the rape (18) and (34) on a lie detector test. But recently it became known that “Let Them Talk” may be left without a star presenter. According to rumors, after 25 years of work (12 of them at “Let Them Talk”), Andrei decided to leave Channel One. Let's find out what happened!

It all started with a Twitter post by Current Time correspondent Yegor Maksimov. “Wow, they say VGTRK bought Malakhov. in any case, his studio in Ostankino was occupied by Shepelev with new transmission(this is a fact),” the journalist wrote. And a little later, the editor-in-chief of the R-Sport agency, Vasily Konov, joined him: “This is a fact and the main transfer sensation of the television off-season. There’s a lot of talk about this in TV circles.”

And so, the news was picked up by the presenters news agencies. For example, RBC reported that the TV presenter did not work well with the new producer of “Let Them Talk,” whom First General Director Konstantin Ernst (56) appointed to raise the show’s ratings. Andrey demanded the return of the previous producer, he was refused, and he decided to move to another channel. According to RBC, from the fall Andrei Malakhov will work on the Rossiya 1 channel (VGTRK holding) in the Live Broadcast program (currently hosted by Boris Korchevnikov (35), but he plans to focus on the position of general director of the Spas channel) . Part of the team will also follow Andrei, so Channel One, if the information is confirmed, will have to conduct a rather large casting.

In any case, neither the leadership of the First nor Andrei Malakhov has yet commented on the rumors, and VGTRK refers to the vacation of the entire management team (we know nothing - we have heard nothing). Andrei himself, by the way, shared in 2014 that he had no idea what would force him to leave Channel One. He openly: “Sometimes during the recording of another program where a father raped his daughter or where ungrateful children, a week after the death of their mother, furiously divide the inheritance, you want to get up and leave. But the thought always stops me - we still help. The DNA tests that are carried out for broadcast are real. After many transfers, criminal cases were opened or reopened and the perpetrators went to prison. We are doing a good deed."

Andrei Malakhov

The departure of Andrei Malakhov from Channel One has been the number one topic for the Russian media for several weeks now. While everyone was discussing the TV presenter’s unexpected career decision and his maternity leave, and one rumor was being replaced by another, Malakhov himself remained silent and only laughed it off. Finally, he decided to dot all the i's and gave a long and frank interview to the Kommersant publication, in which he talked about the reasons for leaving, the birth of a long-awaited child and a new job.

Although you have become a popular TV presenter, you still work with the same people who treat you like the son of the regiment. This is a situation where your colleagues came much later, but already have their own projects. And you still have the same old status. You are expected to be the "talk-to-the-ear" host, but you already have something to talk about with your viewers. It’s like in family life: at first there was love, then it grew into a habit, and at some point it’s a marriage of convenience,

Malakhov stated.

The TV presenter emphasized.

Malakhov noted that he warned the channel’s management in advance that he was going to leave, but at First they didn’t believe him for a long time. The TV presenter wrote his resignation letter and a letter to the channel’s general director Konstantin Ernst on the first day of his vacation. By the way, Malakhov had a serious conversation with Ernst, in which they discussed “the future of television and the prospects that may await in the new season.”

This conversation was superimposed on the fact that I was due to have a child in November, and I said that I needed to devote at least a day a week to what I had been dreaming about for a long time.
