Sergey Shats and Tatyana Lazareva. Creative union of Tatyana Lazareva and Mikhail Shats

03/11/2015

TV presenter Tatyana Lazareva told the Latvian publication about how political position deprived her and Mikhail Shats of work.

ABOUT Lazarev gave a candid interview to Latvian journalists during a visit to Riga, where she and her husband attended a performance with the participation of dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Due to participation in opposition rallies and movements of Lazarev and Schatz already have long disappeared from TV screens. The once popular program " Good jokes"on the STS channel has already begun to be forgotten, and the family of popular presenters had to cut costs and even start using public transport. The couple's children took this for granted.

“We have never hidden our position and thoughts from them. The surnames Navalny and Putin are heard regularly in our apartment, which sometimes leads to funny situations. Once we were riding in a taxi, hearing Putin’s name on the radio, Antonina loudly exclaimed: “Ugh, I hate it!”,” Tatyana Lazareva shares with Delphi.

The presenter also explained why she decided to speak with political slogans.

“The reason to think about why everything is wrong was that same charity. At some point, I realized that the efforts that we make to move a huge mountain by half a millimeter are mere crumbs for the state; with one little finger and the stroke of a pen, everything can be moved. I began to regularly have thoughts about why in our rich country Do most people live this badly? What kind of genocide is this against own people?,” Tatyana is indignant.

However, the couple had to pay for their civic activity with work; they were left without a contract with STS.

“At some point, my contract was not renewed. The most disgusting thing is HOW it was all done. My previous contract with the STS channel was concluded in December and ended in December. They gave me a new one to sign - I signed it without looking. In March I realized that there was no money on the card. They called STS and they said that I no longer worked for them. I looked into the contract and it turned out that where it usually read “from December 31 to December 31,” it was cowardly written “from December 31 to January 31.” My boss, Slava Murugov, who had always sworn and vowed loyalty and love, said that he grew up on our jokes, and after this story he diligently avoided us. But we didn’t insist. I won’t say that I really want to work on such television now,” admits Lazarev A.

Vladimir Polupanov, AiF: Tatyana, on July 21 you are celebrating your anniversary. Much of your life has been about humor. But in Lately you joke less. No laughing matter? Tired of it?

: When I came into contact with work at a charity foundation, my eyes began to open to another side of life, which I had not really seen before. I suddenly realized that there were a lot of people around who were not laughing. And then, with age, it became uninteresting to just laugh, without thinking about anything.

— I hardly watch TV. And KVN, as far as I understand, has become so... more commercial, or something. It has turned into a launching pad for people who want to appear on television and gain a foothold. And so the jokes became quite simple and at times flat. As for humor in general, it still remains in life. There is such tension in the whole world that today only he can save. Maybe that’s why very simple humor is in great demand.

— You admitted that you almost divorced Mikhail Shats several times. Were these failed divorces due to a career decline?

- No. And who in the family did not have situations when it almost came to divorce? I do not know such. Two people are already a team. And the team always has stages of growth and periods of fatigue from each other. You must be prepared for the fact that family is serious work. And first of all, work on yourself, because you cannot work on another person.

- Perhaps because we met at a conscious age - at 33-34 years old. And by this time they had already managed to try everything they needed and didn’t need, to “practice on cats.” And when our relationship reached a dead end, he and I found the opportunity to say to each other: either let’s separate before it’s too late, or let’s make a mutual decision that we will be together until the end, and then we need to look for compromises.

- So as not to twitch anymore...

- If Misha wants to “twitch” - for God’s sake... If prostitution were legalized, I would be the first to support it. This is at least a clearly defined relationship - you pay money, receive a service and go home.

— And wouldn’t they be jealous of Schatz?

- No. He would then tell me how it happened, and we would laugh together. And here’s the thing - in Moscow now there are so many young and beautiful girls. And everyone is happy to pocket the elderly father of three children.

What's left of the protests

—Have you and Mikhail ever regretted speaking at the opposition rally on Bolotnaya Square?

- Of course we regretted it. Not only did they speak, but they also joined the coordination council. And this, of course, played a decisive role in squeezing us out of the media space. They regretted it. But then there was a feeling that we were able to change something. Everyone was so excited. From this protest movement we have many new acquaintances - very interesting ones. At that moment it seemed to us that it had begun new life, there was an opportunity to see caring people around us who feel responsible for everything that happens in the country.

— My childhood was spent in Akademgorodok near Novosibirsk. And there with civic position everyone was always fine. Apparently she was absorbed with her mother's milk. And in the group, yes, she sang about imperialism, which will soon swallow us up, and in general, “No to the neutron bomb.” That is, everything bad that happened, judging by the songs, was outside the borders of the USSR. But in the Soviet Union everything was fine. By the way, many people still think so.

— You have two unfinished higher educations. Despite this, you have achieved a lot on television. May be, higher education not necessary at all?

- This is our eternal dispute with my husband. He reproaches me all the time for not having a higher education. And I answer him that he has a higher education - he is a resuscitator and anesthesiologist, but I don’t really understand what this education has to do with working on television.

Mikhail seduced girls with red panties and soldered them with medical alcohol

Recently famous showman and TV presenter Mikhail SHATS celebrated his 50th anniversary. We walked at the anniversary, as is customary among former KVN members, noisily and cheerfully. Compliments poured in to the hero of the occasion, but Tatyana LAZAREVA, his wife and comrade-in-arms, especially tried. Together they not only live, but also work for more than 17 years, raise three children and seem absolutely perfect couple. Express Gazeta decided to find out with whom Mikhail whiled away his days and nights before meeting the woman he loved and what sins his youth concealed.

In his few interviews, Schatz admitted that, despite his strong alliance with Tatyana Lazareva, main woman His mother still remains in his life. She is the first to congratulate her son on his birthday - this is a tradition in their family. Only, unfortunately, not this time.
“Sarah Bronislavovna died in April,” Tatyana Nikolaevna, Shats’ neighbor from St. Petersburg, was stunned. “She was sick and hasn’t left the house at all lately. Misha visited periodically, but mostly the nurse looked after her, from whom we all learned the tragic news. I don’t know how Misha survived this loss. She and her mother were very close. Sarra Bronislavovna worked as a doctor - she had connections everywhere, so even in times of shortage, the family lived well. Misha grew up as a well-fed boy. The guys in the yard even teased him about the fat and meat processing plant. Once he beat the boy for this, so Sarah had to apologize to the boy’s parents, otherwise they threatened to kick Schatz out of kindergarten. In general, Mishka is an intelligent guy, but with character. We used to have a boxing section in our neighboring house. Schatz trained in it, and then practiced blows on his offenders. I remember hitting a classmate so hard that he got a concussion. Coach Misha was then thrown out of the section in disgrace.

Typically, Jewish mothers do not want to share their children with anyone; they are very jealous of them. Was Sarra Bronislavovna one of these women?
- She was a terrible owner! But Misha didn’t give her any trouble in this regard at first: she didn’t see him before college with a single girl on his arm, and he didn’t take anyone home either. Sarah really wanted her son to follow in her footsteps and study to be a doctor. She said: “First let him get a profession, and then think about all sorts of stupid things.” True, Misha entered medical school only the second time, but still trained as an anesthesiologist-resuscitator. Sarah boasted that her son took part in the first lung transplant operation in the USSR - she was very proud of him! And when he became interested in Kaveen and decided to give up medicine, she almost had a stroke. At one time she blamed Lazarev for this - they say, it was because of her that he abandoned everything and fled to Moscow. They say she didn't get along with her daughter-in-law. But Sarah can be understood: she put so much effort into her son, and he rushed to Tatyana, and even adopted her child! (Lazareva gave birth to her eldest son Stepan from director Roman Fokin. - A.V.)

Three letter word

Mikha is a legend of our institute! - recalls his classmate Alik Kiriakidi. - Schatz played in the skits from his first year, then joined the KVN team of the institute. You can’t imagine how he had a blast during his trips to the collective farm! Then, after the summer session, students rushed to construction teams. Those who wanted to earn extra money went to Siberia and Kazakhstan. And those who want to have fun, come to us, to the “Rus” construction site. Each detachment had its own commander; those who patronized them were called Grand Commissars. Schatz was one of these and wore identification mark- red panties! These are sports shorts that Mishka never took off under any circumstances.
We lived happily in the construction site: every day was a holiday. And the main instigator of these outrages was Schatz. Every year they organized “Women’s Day”: the girls made three wishes, which the guys had to fulfill. In 1989, our ladies wanted a ball based on The Master and Margarita. At Bulgakov's, Margarita appeared naked at the ball - our girls turned out to be more chaste and wore swimsuits. Woland, of course, was the Grand Commissioner!
They also gave the girls a “gentle wake-up”: they sang serenades at six in the morning, fed them fruit, but never crossed the urogenital line. Sometimes weddings were played for fun: if there was a couple in love in the detachment, they made them the bride and groom and arranged a magnificent “marriage”. Mishka and I, however, were unlucky - we never ended up as grooms.

And I remember how Shats and I were with a construction team in Arzamas,” shares Dmitry Legeza. - One day, nails wrapped in scarlet red were brought to our site. The brigade quickly used them and went away to smoke, and I, taking advantage of a moment of rest, adapted this fabric to the pole, constructing a proletarian banner. It became boring, and I took a plaster from the first aid kit - I wanted to bring out something pleasant, but the plaster was only enough for a comprehensive three-letter word. The guys returned, laughed and didn’t come up with anything smarter than hanging the banner outside. Then, out of nowhere, a cortege of black cars appeared near the house. Soon a man with a deputy’s badge appeared on the threshold Supreme Council USSR and my banner in my hands. In general, our leadership was then called to the local KGB office - they barely fought back. Schatz was not with us at all at that time - he went to the post office to call Leningrad, but for some reason he was accused of a political demarche. Misha steadfastly accepted the accusation, despite the fact that the punishment was expected to be severe - expulsion from the institute. And this is in the fifth year! However, the “case” was soon hushed up. The girls, admiring Misha’s feat, say they passed this banner to each other for a long time as a relic. Some even slept with him.

drunken passion

According to the stories of Mikhail’s friends at the institute, he had no end to girls. And the joker himself sighed for the quiet intellectual Alena Semenova. Classmates still remember how he courted her for a long time, and then quietly retreated when the girl had another boyfriend.
- Schatz was never a dog! - says Olga Dubrovina. - He always behaved with dignity with girls, although they did not miss an opportunity to offend him and thereby attract attention to themselves. Once, while picking carrots, one lady’s box was turned over by inspectors. If the carrots were sorted incorrectly, they were scolded and fined. For some reason she turned out to be good with non-standard. So the girl, to justify herself, said: “Look how ugly they are: this one is crooked and hairy, like Grand Commissioner Misha Shats!”
But, they say, from the moment Lazareva appeared in Shats’ life, a lot has changed in him. The romance and intelligence that once drove his classmates crazy have disappeared somewhere.

I think Tanya attracted Misha with her relaxedness,” recalls one of Shats’ acquaintances, Irina Dyatlova. - In January 1992, they crossed paths at the KVN festival in Sochi. Misha was already working in a hospital by then, and since alcohol was in short supply, he brought with him a huge amount of medical alcohol and gathered a crowd in his room almost every evening. Lazareva also stopped by one of these parties. That's how things got going for them - due to drunkenness! True, the next morning Tanya pretended that nothing had happened between them, and after the festival she went home to her husband. (Lazareva was not married to Alexander Drugov for long. - A.V.) Soon Tanya got involved with Fokin, became pregnant, and he left her. The only person who happened to be next to her at that moment was Mishka. He always loved her, but Lazareva seemed to mock her. They probably wouldn’t have gotten married in ’98 if Tanya hadn’t become pregnant with Sonechka.
Over time, she, of course, rethought a lot and even decided to give birth to Tonya when she and Misha had a crisis in their relationship. They then did not live together for several months. But, apparently, Tatyana realized in time: she couldn’t find someone like Schatz!

Famous TV presenter Tatyana Lazareva recently gave frank interview channel “And talk?” on YouTube. The 51-year-old woman amazed the audience with unexpected and very frank confessions, saying that she and her husband and colleague Mikhail Shats now live separately from each other. According to Tatiana, this decision was not easy, but when family life ceases to be truly family, then there is no point in holding on to it.

The comedians have been together for so long, not only in life, but also on the TV screen, that hardly any of their fans are able to imagine one without the other.

Frame from the program “Should we talk?”

“We were raised in such a way that you have a profession for life, a marriage for life, we even had an apartment for life.”, - Lazareva told the audience, noting that despite the fact that it was difficult to overcome this barrier of upbringing and habits, now her and Mikhail’s lives do not go side by side, but in parallel, and both of them are quite happy with them.

“Olympus, which we had in everything... And the creative union is very powerful. We worked with him, lived with him, we felt very comfortable...”, - Tatyana shared her memories.

Frame from the program “Should we talk?”

“The greatest luxury is to be yourself, to live freely and openly voice your thoughts! Tatyana did it! There is only hopelessness in the eyes..."

"In every good person there is a little bit of Tatyana Lazareva..."

"Beautiful and clever woman! I feel a little sorry for her"

“What to do when you’ve been ripped off and knocked out of the saddle? Very relevant! Especially against the backdrop of pensions. She's cool. Life is not happy, but we are with a shovel, Tatyana! Let's waltz on!"

“I really miss the tandem of Pushna, Shats, Lazarev... How easily and with humor and even philosophically she talks about all the hardships of life. I love and admire honesty and professionalism. May everything be fine with you. Thank you for the broadcast!!!"

“Life after Olympus. Very actual topic. It’s sad to look at such a positive woman who was knocked out of the saddle and deprived of the opportunity to do what she loved (humor on TV). She, of course, laughs and cheers up, but it’s clear that this is a defensive reaction. Starting from scratch at 52 years old is very difficult. May God give you strength, energy, optimism and health to cope with this task. Good luck and patience!” , - her loyal fans online supported the charming woman.

Now Tatyana lives with her daughter Sonya in spanish city Marbella, and Mikhail remained in his homeland in Russia. But despite the separation, Lazareva still considers Mikhail a member of her family and declares that she has no one closer to him in the world.
