TV presenter Andrei Malakhov broke the silence about his scandalous departure from Channel One, which is banned in Ukraine.
According to rumors, Malakhov was pushed to leave the popular talk show “Let Them Talk” by the pregnancy of his wife Natalya Shkuleva - the presenter wanted to go into maternity leave, but management refused him. According to another version, Malakhov left due to a conflict with the new producer of the show and a reluctance to turn the program into a political one.
Rumors about Malakhov's departure appeared at the end of July, but then they were not particularly believed. However, information quickly spread, acquiring more and more new details.
Here are two main versions. Involved in both new producer“Let them talk” Natalya Nikonova. She had previously worked on Channel One, but then went to a competitor - the Russia 1 channel. There she was the producer of the show “Live,” which is very similar to “Let Them Talk.” Returning to Channel One, Nikonova decided to add Malakhov to the program more politics. Andrey was categorically against it. A conflict arose between the presenter and the producer. And Malakhov went on vacation, allegedly writing a letter of resignation.
The new TV host of the talk show “Let Them Talk” Dmitry Borisov told who he was the first to inform about the offer to head the famous program. According to him, this person was Andrei Malakhov, an ex-presenter who immediately gave some advice.
Borisov shared that it was Malakhov who became the first person who learned about the initiative of representatives of Channel One to head this show. In the brief exchange, the former presenter was gracious and wished his replacement good luck. In addition, as Borisov emphasized, Andrei Malakhov insisted that he urgently begin thinking about a new image for his new work.
The annual competition “On Vacation with Andrei Malakhov,” which is held for the fifth time by StarHit magazine, is again looking for travel companions.
Over the years, the winners of the competition vacationed in the company of a famous TV presenter at resorts in Greece, United Arab Emirates, in Thailand, Sardinia and Cyprus. Where the participants will go this year remains a mystery. But the glossy edition is slowly identifying the winners. This time, our Ugra resident Elena Lykosova was among the lucky ones, who has already long years successfully works as a nurse in the children's intensive care unit of the maternity hospital in city hospital No. 1 in Megion.
The fact that Elena would go on vacation with Andrei Malakhov was a complete surprise for the Ugra woman. Especially for her 50th anniversary, her daughter Ekaterina wanted to surprise her mother and sent a touching letter to the editor. Malakhov was so impressed by this story that he decided to personally come to Megion and congratulate Elena Lykosova on this significant event.
Unexpectedly, Andrei Malakhov himself came to congratulate me on my anniversary and invited me to go on vacation with him. I am incredibly happy and grateful to my daughter for this surprise. I don’t believe that this is all happening to me. “And I expect new emotions and impressions from the trip,” said the Ugra resident.
The arrival of Malakhov himself was unexpected and at the same time a joyful event for the entire Megion City Hospital. The team is very happy for their colleague and hope that she will remember this vacation for the rest of her life.
On September 5, Dmitry Shepelev and Andrei Malakhov went on air with programs dedicated to actor Nikolai Karachentsov and his wife Lyudmila Porgina, Regnum reports.
Let us remind you that on February 27 of this year, Nikolai Karachentsov had an accident; his wife was driving. The accident involving the artist occurred 12 years after the accident, as a result of which he received a severe traumatic brain injury.
As the source clarifies, Nikolai Karachentsov and his wife were invited to the “Actually” program on Channel One. They talked about an accident they had in the winter. 45 minutes earlier in the program “Andrey Malakhov. Live” the same topic was discussed; Karachentsov’s wife became a guest on the talk show.
According to an editor who previously worked on both TV channels, this was done intentionally. The expert explained that Russia 1 initially planned a different topic for the talk show, but abruptly changed the concept after learning about the end of filming “Actually” with Karachentsov. A similar operation was carried out to increase ratings, but did not bring the desired results: “Actually” was watched by 14.6 percent of viewers, while “Live” was watched by only 10.6 percent.

Conversations about the departure of TV presenter Andrei Malakhov from Channel One actually proved one thing: television as a determining factor public opinion, it’s too early to discount it. A simple replacement of a popular presenter, his transition from one channel to another can cause something close to panic in society and the media. What happened, why did Andrei Malakhov suddenly decide to leave Channel One? There are so many rumors and speculations about this matter that we decided to look into it.
I do not rule out that the “trigger” of Andrei Malakhov’s conflict with management was some careless word, a hint, or simply a tough conversation. IN creative team that happens. Colleagues from the “Let Them Talk” team with whom I had the opportunity to talk confirm: “Yes, there is a conflict. But the details are known only “at the top.” Perhaps they want to lure Andrey with money to another channel or there is a human factor. There are only two options. Either everything is resolved peacefully and Malakhov remains, or he switches to another channel - most likely to “Russia”. Several people from his team, who once started with him, have already moved there " Big wash».
The new producer put an end to Malakhov’s plans
It all started with the fact that Konstantin Ernst appointed a new producer of the talk show “Let Them Talk” - Natalya Nikonova. Nikonova is a famous person on TV. Twice laureate national award“TEFI”, founder of the programs “Let them talk”, “Lolita without complexes”, “Malakhov+”, “Judge for yourself”. In general, a kind of “godmother” show for Russian housewives. IN Lately she produced the show “Live” with Boris Korchevnikov on “Russia-1”. However, sources at VGTRK confidentially reported that Nikonova may have left “by pike command» after financial verification. The violations were allegedly discovered by Alexander Mitroshenkov, president of the Transcontinental Media Company, which includes New company– producer of “Live Broadcast”. Allegedly, Nikonova for a long time accrued the salary of her protégé, Dmitry Shepelev, who actually did not go on air. If so, what serious ideas could Nikonova offer to the leadership of First in order to be taken to a leadership position after such a scandal?
It's no secret that Malakhov for a long time asked Ernst for the opportunity to produce his own programs. Indeed, at the age of 45, running around the hall with a microphone and cutting your hair “like a boy” is somehow no longer respectable. But Ernst stubbornly did not meet the “face of the channel”, and the arrival of Natalya Nikonova on “First” finally put an end to Malakhov’s plans to produce the program independently. One of the editors of “First” commented on the situation: “The channel returned to the program the producer who worked there nine years ago, hoping that she would help to significantly raise dropped ratings programs. But Malakhov did not work well with her and demanded the return of his previous colleague. Since the channel did not make concessions for a long time, the presenter began to declare that otherwise he would leave.”
And indeed: back in 2013, the rating of the Malakhov talk show was 9%, it was ahead of the program “Voice”, “Time”, “Let’s Get Married”, “Vesti” and “ glacial period" However, recently “Let Them Talk” has been heavily criticized for the monotony of its themes and some morbid interest in finding out the authenticity of the paternity and maternity of other people’s children ( gossips“Let them talk” was even dubbed “a branch of the DNA laboratory”). Ratings decreased accordingly - for example, in April they were only 6.2%.
Politics for housewives?
On this topic
I have never been to the “Let Them Talk” program, despite the annoying invitations of the editors. The fact is that I know the technology of this project too well. Once there, the unfortunate “invitees” fall into a trap. An accompanying person is required to leave the studio. The invitee, who has undergone “psychological processing” by the editors, is sent to share his misfortune under the camera lenses and can no longer leave the studio. And so that the hero would not find out that his illegitimate children, neighbors and colleagues were called to the show, they were escorted through other entrances. The effect of surprise turned out to be very strong, but not always pleasant and, you see, correct. Now the program will be filmed in a former factory workshop on Liza Chaikina Street. In the so-called “Teledom” there will be fewer “set-ups”. They say that Andrei Malakhov was categorically against moving the studio, and this became one of the reasons for the conflict.
However, there is another reason, which is talked about in whispers on the television sidelines, but is widely discussed on social networks by people close to political structures. For example, political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky writes on his Facebook: “It is absolutely obvious that I should host the “Let Them Talk” program instead of Malakhov. In turn, I am ready to give up my places to Andrei Nikolaevich in the Direct Line and Panopticon programs on OTK Dozhd. This is a subtle hint that the show for housewives "Let Them Talk" will now, if rumors are to be believed, give preference to politics. However, according to our information, Andrei Malakhov spoke out categorically against this, using harsh expressions in relation to a person about whom the host of the country’s main channel clearly should not have spoken. But, as you know, “he who lives in a glass house should not throw stones.” This proverb is very popular on TV, where any careless word can cost a person his career. By the way, the fact that “Let Them Talk” is going to be politicized is indirectly confirmed by another fact: Andrei Borisov, the news editor’s “News” presenter, was tried for the role of the new leading project. However, according to reviews, it left a weak impression. As for Malakhov, then, again, according to rumors, his careless words cost him not only his work in “Let Them Talk” - it is even stated that he will supposedly not be on the screen at all.
There are other points of view on the situation. Malakhov’s colleagues, for example, express the version that, they say, the presenter “starred” - 25 years television fame"The roof was blown away." Maybe. But all these are accompanying circumstances, as well as Andrei Malakhov’s declared desire to go on maternity leave (his wife Natalya Shkuleva is on recent months pregnancy). Something else is alarming. As it became known, at the same time as darling Malakhov, the handsome Alexander Oleshko, the host of “Minute of Glory” and “Just the Same,” was fired from “First.” No matter how we treated these people, they were the “faces of the channel.” The conclusion suggests itself: “First” is weakening its position against the background of VGTRK. Is this a coincidence? In professional circles, it is not ruled out that the transition to the “second button” of strong personnel is only the beginning of Konstantin Ernst losing ground. Whether VGTRK "First" will be absorbed or not - this issue is now being discussed in the television environment with might and main. On the eve of the elections, as we know, anything is possible.
On August 21, Malakhov’s interview with Antenna was also published. In it, the presenter said that in 2017 he experienced a “crisis of the genre in absolutely everything” and was tired of being “a human soldier following orders.” He also stated that he wrote a letter of resignation from Channel One two months ago. Malakhov refused to answer the question about his conflict with the new producer of the “Let Them Talk” program.
And it would be okay if he just left quietly, but no - he went over to his competitors at “Russia” and will now host the talk show “Live” instead of Boris Korchevnikov. Previously, this program was losing heavily to “Let Them Talk” in the ratings. Although she was actually a clone. Now the producers are confident that everything will be the other way around.
Well, a completely fantastic version, however, which has a right to exist, that no departure was planned, and all the noise was created deliberately with the aim of pumping up ratings in . The fact that Channel One has not yet played such dirty games is not in favor of the version.
But the reason for Malakhov’s departure from Channel One, again based on rumors, is said to be a conflict with the new producer “Let Them Talk.” Rumor has it that Andrei simply did not want to turn his show into a political project, because he believes that people are interested in ordinary human stories.
Yes, he’s just sick of listening to this musical intro to “Let Them Talk,” here you can not only develop neuroses, but also fall into derealization syndrome. Who created this horror? On “Russia” the music is calmer, I did the right thing by switching :-)
The information was as follows: this girl already worked on Channel One and created the very talk shows that made Andrei famous, but several years ago she went to work on Channel Five and now she has returned back. Apparently, Andrei forgot about how he climbed the career ladder and did not pay due attention to his former colleague around the shop. What kind of cat ran between them?
“The main intrigue of the summer” is no longer there: the talk show “Live” on the “Russia 1” channel has indeed undergone a replacement. Presenter Boris Korchevnikov, having received a promotion from the leadership line, handed over his post to Andrei Malakhov, who quit Channel One for this purpose. Filming will begin this week (details)
Let us remind you that in July of this year it became known about Andrei Malakhov’s departure from Channel One. The popular journalist and TV presenter went to Rossiya 1 and became the host of the program “Andrey Malakhov. Live”, and then founded his own television company “TV Hit”. Legends are already being written about the reasons for his departure from Channel One, but first-hand information has finally appeared.
Why did Malakhov leave Channel 1? What is the reason? Detailed data.
My new program the presenter described it as “the same Malakhov in the frame that everyone is used to, just with more freedom of action.” The release dates for the “Live Broadcast” are not indicated in the materials.
Andrei Malakhov himself wished his friend success in new job and assured him that he would handle it. He also advised Borisov to get to work right away and not delay. This way the audience will get used to him and then it will be easier. Dmitry Borisov noted that despite many years of friendship they are now rivals. However, they do not refuse friendly relations. Now it will be difficult for them to have conversations about work since they are hosting the same shows but on different channels.
Malakhov himself is certainly saddened by what is happening and refuses to comment on this event. But the ELLE magazine website, citing sources close to Malakhov, reported a new sensation! The reason for Andrey’s departure from Channel One is maternity leave. TV presenter's wife Natalya Shkuleva is pregnant! Maybe that's why last photo on Instagram (posted back in May) is she wearing a loose dress?
“I was left without a home and a familiar atmosphere. And when I saw a new room a thousand meters away from our behind-the-scenes two hundred, I realized that this was probably the point... 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,” said the TV presenter.
At the same time, people, in addition to trying to find out the reasons for Andrei Malakhov’s departure from the “Let Them Talk” program, want to understand where Boris Korchevnikov left the “Russia 1” TV channel. The fact is that Korchevnikov until recently refused to comment on his possible departure from the TV channel.
Internet users continue to widely discuss very unexpected decision TV presenter Andrei Malakhov to leave Channel One and become the host of the “Live Broadcast” project on the “Russia 1” channel. Many are perplexed, because they are used to seeing Andrey on the “first button”.
Audience share (%) - the average number of people who watched a television program, expressed as a percentage of the total number of television viewers in this moment time.
The passions around Andrei Malakhov do not subside. They only dissuaded him on the topic of “Let them talk” and Andrey’s scandalous transition to the Rossiya channel, they were only glad that Malakhov and his wife Natalya would become parents. Suddenly - new story. How do we the organizers said competition, Andrey will become the host of one of the concerts, which will be held as part of the " New wave"(details).
Further, from the words of the original source - ELLE magazine: “about the desire to go on maternity leave, a comment was received from the new talk show producer that “Let them talk” is not a nursery, and Malakhov needs to make a choice, who he is - a TV presenter or babysitter. This formulation of the question, according to sources, seemed to the presenter absolutely cynical and unacceptable. Let us remind you that in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 256 of the Labor Code, parental leave can also be granted to the child’s father or other relative.”
Malakhov left channel 1 for channel 2. Everything that is known now.
Then it became known that Alexander Oleshko would not remain on the first button. On the First he hosted “Minute of Glory” and “Exactly”. Now he will work for NTV, where he was invited to host the show “You are super!” Dancing".
According to Malakhov himself, he is on Channel One, after which “by coincidence” the presenter received a call from Rossiya 1 and was invited to become the producer of his own program.
RIAMO - August 23 From August 28, the Rossiya 1 TV channel will broadcast Andrey's talk show Malakhov “Live broadcast,” Interfax reported on Wednesday.
Malakhov left the 1st video channel. Detailed information.
The issue of the departure of the famous TV presenter Andrei Malakhov from Channel One, where he worked for more than fifteen years, is being actively discussed on social networks. At first he hosted “The Big Laundry.” Later Malakhov became the only and permanent presenter scandalous show"Let them talk". Now the channel’s management is looking for a new candidate who will replace Andrei Nikolaevich in his “post.” According to rumors, the media center has already found two similar candidates. Who are they? Why is Malakhov leaving Channel One? What does the future hold for the Let Them Talk show?
The program appeared in 2005 and became a large-scale “brainchild” of Andrei Malakhov. It is worth saying that the program “Let Them Talk” itself is already associated with the name of its permanent presenter. This is a scandalous analysis of current life situations whose heroes become ordinary people. The show quickly rose in the ratings, apparently not without Malakhov’s participation, and also remains popular among Russian viewers to this day.
In addition, the showman hosted another program - “Tonight”. He is also the editor-in-chief of a glossy publication about stars, and is also one of the thirty richest Russian celebrities, earning about a million rubles annually.
Everything seemed to be fine, but then the Internet was flooded with news that Channel One was looking for a replacement for Malakhov. By the way, negotiations are ongoing with several candidates at once. Their names have not been disclosed, but there is speculation that one of them may be Dmitry Shepelev. The press service of the resource says that they are not included in the circle of media people.
If “Let Them Talk” is hosted by a new, lesser-known presenter, what will happen to the program? Maybe the broadcast format will change a little. In addition, a change in showman could lead to a drop in the program's ratings. On social networks they talk about how Russian grandmothers will live without their favorite show, which they can always discuss.
Previously, information was published that Malakhov will not stop being a presenter, he will simply change the channel and will host “Live Broadcast” on “Russia 1”, part of the VGTRK holding, and will replace Boris Korchevnikov. The latter, according to rumors, plans to leave the program by the end of summer to take the position of general director of the religious channel “Spas.” But later this information was denied, since the management of Russia 1 is currently on vacation.
Initially, Korchevnikov wanted to combine “business with pleasure” - both to produce the channel and to remain a presenter. But he was advised to abandon these plans, so his place on the channel has now become vacant. The question remains: will Malakhov or another journalist take over? True, the management of “Russia 1” has motives to “entice” the presenter to themselves.
At the same time, the “potential” candidate to replace Malakhov, showman Dmitry Shepelev, said that he has no information about the presenter’s departure from the channel. He asks to ask the administration about this. Shepelev already has a program that he constantly hosts, so he has no need to move to a new place. An employee of one production center says that the latter could not “squeeze out” a permanent actor“Let them talk” (it doesn’t have the same format) and it sounds funny, so this option is unlikely.
In addition, the source claims that the channel values Malakhov very much and if something did not suit him, the management of the First could make concessions to him, because his project has been considered one of the most rated and recognizable for many years. In this regard, the channel cannot close the “Let Them Talk” program any more than it can fire the authoritative presenter Malakhov.
The showman's acquaintances voiced three possible reasons that soon Andrei Nikolaevich will leave the ranks of Channel One employees. The main one is that, against the backdrop of a conflict with producer Natalya Nikonova, Malakhov is simply “increasing his worth” and wants to gain special powers and permission to create his own original program.
The second option says that famous TV presenter and can really switch to “Russia 1”. There he can organize his own project and implement it. It is worth noting that, according to experts, Malakhov will not be left without work, because he has a huge amount of trust in leading Russian channels. The actively discussed TV presenter himself is now on vacation. Yesterday he posted a photo on social media of himself walking on the beach. The website of his publication Starhit also does not report anything about the presenter’s possible departure from Channel One, of which he became the face.
Malakhov continues to enjoy his legal vacation. Together with his wife Natalya Shkuleva, he flew to the resort and is sunbathing under the sun of Saint-Tropez on the best beaches. Yesterday's video from the presenter social network commented with the phrases: “He’s walking so briskly away from Channel One,” “Andrey, I heard a rumor that you’re leaving Channel One. Is this true?”, “Is it true that you are moving to work from First to VGTRK?” But on the microblog, the TV idol did not answer any of them. questions asked. Apparently, it holds intrigue.
In the end, what do we have? A huge number of rumors that have not yet been confirmed or denied by any authoritative person. This whole story resembles ordinary PR, based on “stirring up” interest in the show “Let Them Talk” and in the personality of the presenter Malakhov himself, especially since there are no prerequisites for his leaving the project, and while the showman is “at sea”, you can draw attention to his person and increase the rating of the program itself. However, anything is possible.
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. Lately, that's all they've been talking about: the presenter wrote a letter of resignation and left Channel One, will soon appear on Rossiya 1, and 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 a new stage has begun. 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.

- 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.

- 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 you can 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’s things don’t become cluttered.
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 opinions 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.
