Live on Ekho Moskvy radio station Elena Khanga, Elena Ischeeva, hosts of the Domino Principle program on NTV. The air is hosted by Ksenia Larina and Rinat Valiulin.

K. LARINA: Hello. All our listeners congratulate Lena Hanga on the birth of a child.

E.HANGA: Thank you.

K.LARINA: Lena immediately went to work, just like under Soviet rule. Not a day without vacation.

R. VALIULIN: No, under the Soviet regime they were allowed to walk more.

E.HANGA: Yes, then it was possible. And now it's all.

K. LARINA: Tell us a little about the show, because we haven't seen it personally with Rinat. We work during the day.

R. VALIULIN: I will now reveal all the secrets of the authors of the program. I have a script lost by one of Len that I picked up from the floor. Now I will read. "Studio number one. Good afternoon! Elena Ishcheeva and Elena Hanga are with you, every day from Monday to Thursday .., ”I give.

E. ISHCHEEVA: That is, we carry scripts with us, because on Monday we will work live, now in your studio we discussed the guests, with Lena we came up with something, we decided around the clock about work. And about children sometimes.

R. VALIULIN: I confirm this, because they only talk about this behind the scenes.

K. LARINA: Is this a female program?

E.HANGA: It's at 2.20, and, accordingly, most of the people who can afford to watch this program are housewives who are at home, or women who are giving birth, pregnant women or women who do not want to work, or men who who work at night...

E.ISCHEEVA: ...or just got sick.

E.HANGA: Or they got sick. So our topics are not related to politics, not related to any conflicts, not very social, but very interesting to everyone, very everyday.

K. LARINA: For example?

E.HANGA: Our first broadcast was devoted to how hard it is for people to live in the shadow of the stars, other relatives, acquaintances ... Lolita's housewife told her how to live. But she is doing very well.

K. LARINA: Which erases all the time?

E.HANGA: Quite right. I really liked it, I asked her who her favorite singer was. And she, without blinking her eyes, said Lolita. I say: “And if you worked for Alla Borisovna?” - "Then there would be Alla Borisovna." Another topic we had was “Bachelors”, very successful, in my opinion.

E. ISHCHEEVA: Yes, Lev Shimelov is a very colorful bachelor, he stood his ground to the last and said: I don’t need women, I don’t want to, I never will! This is a bachelor by vocation.

E.HANGA: The next program we had was "Children Prodigies", and there was a sensation, Michael Jackson's dad came.

K. LARINA: It was serious, this is not an artist playing the role of Michael Jackson's dad?

E. ISHCHEEVA: The broadcast began, and the editor said to me: "Lena, announce urgently that Michael Jackson's dad is coming to visit us." I understand that no one will believe.

E. HANGA: “But he is still in the car, so announce carefully, we don’t know if he will or will not reach us.”

E. ISHCHEEVA: I have square eyes, I even suffocated, because I think either I will fail. That is, my husband was looking at work, he says, I realized that you just went crazy. Everyone in the room stopped working, they say - what is it with your wife? She gone crazy? Which Jackson? She what? I understand that if this person does not reach, there will be a terrible scandal ...

E.HANGA: No, he drove very funny, he told.

K. LARINA: And what is he doing here?

E.HANGA: He has his own projects here, he brought some young girl of Asian origin, interesting future star, her mother came, he apparently has some financial interests in Russia.

R. VALIULIN: By the way, yes. The father, after all, has the most direct relation to show business. Remember, Michael Jackson started out with the Jacksons Five.

E.HANGA: Quite right. But something else surprised me. Our audience — since it’s live, you can call us — and, of course, a woman immediately called and said: “How nice, I’ll tell you this news now: do you know that you have a grandson here”? He is completely taken aback and says: “Like a grandson, where from?” She says, "Don't believe me. There was a very interesting program on TV, and they showed your grandson, he is the spitting image of you. He says how could it even theoretically be? She says: “How, your son came here. One night in a hotel, everything was there, everything was true. He says: "Can I see the grandson, the evidence?" She says: “What evidence? I have seen everything!" And he closed his eyes and did not understand whether this was a joke or not. And then another woman stood up in the studio and said: “Yes, by the way, I read everything in Arguments and Facts,” and the photo was allegedly published. He was so depressed. And he was still leaving the studio and saying: “Can I look at the photo somehow?” I say - stop paying attention! He says - well, a serious publication ...

E. ISHCHEEVA: In general, he admitted that he had 26 grandchildren, and therefore he was simply confused about them.

E.HANGA: Everyone said to him: “Why did you bring someone else's girl? You are better than your grandson..." He says, "Which grandson?" - "Own." He says I have 26.

K. LARINA: And how did your tandem form? Who came up with this?

E. ISHCHEEVA: I think it was the chief producer of NTV, Sergey Leonidovich Chumakov, who came up with this today, and the calls came completely unexpectedly for me. I was lying on the couch at home saying goodbye to my TV career

K. LARINA: Did you work for ORT?

E. ISHCHEEVA: Yes, I hosted the Good Day program for a year and a half.

K. LARINA: And why did you say goodbye? Did you leave yourself?

E. ISHCHEEVA: There was such a situation that I was forced to make a decision: either stay and do nothing, or just leave. I have a little son, I was preparing my husband that I would return to being a housewife.

K. LARINA: That is, roughly speaking, you were deprived of the air, as I understand it?

E. ISHCHEEVA: There is such a situation, if I ever find out the truth, I myself am interested. I don't know what happened. I just saw that the situation was very difficult, psychologically difficult, and I didn’t want to just sit at this age and wait for you to be remembered on your own channel, to which you gave 6 years. I made the decision to leave, and I officially said: I will go nowhere.

And I was already saying goodbye to the team, it was my birthday, I gathered all my editorial staff, told everyone everything, and suddenly, unexpectedly ... A fairy tale is not a fairy tale, believe it or not: when I had already hammered the last nail into the coffin of my career, one hears call. My former boss remembers me and says: “Lena, what are you doing?” I say: well, my son is running around here. He says - I'm not talking about that, what are you doing? - "Lying". He says: "Do you want to work?" And then I realized that everything now depends on my answer. I say: “I want, I want to work, I miss work.” And gradually they began to tell me about this project, where Lena was already, we didn’t know anything about each other, they hid from me that the other half was you, for a very long time.

E.HANGA: We were afraid that you would change your mind.

E. ISHCHEEVA: I don’t know... we were probably afraid that... You see, we just did a program with Sergei Leonidovich Shumakov, with a huge team, we good girls work - Olya Voronina, Mila Platonova. We made a program that is usually created on television from six months to a year, we did it in 2 weeks. Everyone told me you can fail so much that it doesn’t seem small. But, judging by the ratings, and they have now almost doubled after the first broadcast, we have raised the bar so high that now the question is how to keep it. And I work with Lena. I was afraid...

E.HANGA: Now carefully, control every word.

E. ISHCHEEVA: I was afraid, I did not know how she would receive me, I met her at Sheremetyevo, I really wanted to get to know her as soon as possible. And you know, I'm lucky, I'm really lucky. Lena is such a smart and wise partner...

E.HANGA: Lena, I don't pay extra for flattery.

E. ISHCHEEVA: No, I say this to my relatives as well. I really got lucky. I am very Difficult person, Lena suffers a lot.

K. LARINA: Lena, what about you?

E.HANGA: I'm doing great with Lena. I don't know why, just great, okay, enjoy. Everything is easy, the broadcast flies by unnoticed, and while it is such a pleasure that it is a holiday.

K. LARINA: And who is the main one among you?

E.HANGA: I don't think anyone is in charge. We are just a little different and we complement each other.

K. LARINA: Well, it doesn't happen like that. And no one pulls a blanket over themselves?

E. ISHCHEEVA: Ksenia, watch the broadcast and you will understand everything. There is no one pulling a blanket. And we are changing. One guest is talking to Lena, the other guest is talking to me.

R. VALIULIN: Everyone has their own blanket.

E. ISHCHEEVA: We have a schedule.

E.HANGA: You take on this guest, I take this one. And it was not conceived like Solovyov and Gordon, where one is good and the other is bad, one is progressive ...

K. LARINA: Opposite points of view.

E. HANGA: Yes. And we seem to...

E. ISHCHEEVA: We are ethereal friends. We do not sit up and do not tease, we work on the air for the viewer.

R. VALIULIN: But you are standing there, how can you sit up?

E. ISHCHEEVA: Some have already written about this, unfortunately, that we are sitting around, and that we are cramped. We are not crowded, we are very comfortable and good there now.

K. LARINA: This will pass. Judging by your temperament, you are very bright people who love to work.

R. VALIULIN: Yes, girls, it's time to calm down. You're kind of nervous to us came today.

E. ISHCHEEVA: Can I play my favorite group, if you have one?

R. VALIULIN: Well, now there will be news, we will look for her.

K. LARINA: It seems to me that they will calm down. Some period of time will pass ... Now there may be a feeling of tightness, because both of you are hard-working girls, energetic and really miss work. One has one, the other has another.

R. VALIULIN: I have a question in this regard for Lena Hange. You left leaving practically no guarantees here, as far as I remember. You were on the air with us before leaving. How did you manage to get back to work?

E.HANGA: When Lena received a call unexpectedly, she was lying on the couch - I was also lying when they called me, but only I was lying in the delivery room. I was already preparing to become a mother, foolishly took mobile phone with myself. The phone rang, I took ... And I was in New York, I forgot to say, I gave birth in New York. And the phone rang and they told me: “It is you who are being disturbed from the office general producer. Where are you, why don't you come to work? - "What's happening?" "We're starting a new show here." I say: I can't talk now, I'm giving birth. They say to me: "What is it?" - "I give birth!" - Call us back. I say: “I’m giving birth right now and I’ll call you back in literally 15 minutes.”

I called back and they told me that this is new project starts literally in 2 weeks, so come urgently, we are launching, and that's all ... I say - how, but is it possible ...? “Nothing is possible anymore. It has already been announced in the newspaper, and everything has been hung up, the photos have already been brought together, you will have such a presenter, your girlfriend, and stop doing stupid things, get ready, fly out.

R. VALIULIN: Didn't they find a new husband for you there?

E.HANGA: Be careful, I'm afraid that my husband is listening, and he won't let me in with such jokes again.

K.LARINA: Like it, in short?

E.HANGA: Of course. It's such a pleasure, and I missed the broadcast so much, to be honest.

K. LARINA: And as I understand it, you did not take part in the development of the idea? That is, this fact, you were offered just such a show, and no ideas were expressed?

E.HANGA: I found it very interesting. No, they told me what it would be about, but in very general terms, but I found it interesting, especially since the daytime show is a completely different audience for me, I'm used to, in principle, to another, as you might guess. I used to shock, shock. And it's calm, it's nice, it's wonderful.

K. LARINA: No white wig?

E.HANGA: No. I sometimes take a wig - look at it, remember.

R. VALIULIN: Did you see it while you were wearing it?

E.HANGA: No, but everyone tells me that I felt much better in a wig.

E. ISHCHEEVA: I like it. Lena looks very elegant in the frame. She has a strict hairstyle.

R. VALIULIN: Again flattery.

E.HANGA: Probably, you still have to pay extra.

E. ISHCHEEVA: Well, why the flattery? If I really like? Now I will start pulling out all sorts of nasty things, then they will start deducting me for these nasty things.

E.HANGA: On the air, they made me pull my hair back, a strict conservative suit.

K. LARINA: When we learned about this program, about what exactly you, Lena and Lena are leading, we thought with Rinat that this is such a hello to Oprah? This type of show?

E.HANGA: "Oprah" - it is evening. She leads alone, she leads for 4 hours. But I completely agree with you. She also has such topics that are mainly of interest to women, the townsfolk, I'm not afraid of this word.

R. VALIULIN: The breadwinners, why be afraid, the main TV breadwinners.

E.HANGA: And I will probably even peep a lot of topics from her. Because I watched it with pleasure when I was pregnant.

R. VALIULIN: Isn't it boring to do the same thing? Don't want something new?

E.HANGA: Do you mean the same as Oprah?

R. VALIULIN: Repeat. At some point you repeat.

E.HANGA: I'll tell you that Oprah didn't come up with this, this format is all over the world, you see, the topics all intersect, it all depends on how to do it. I'm going to give you 5 or 6 shows that are running around the same time in America, and it amazes me how much there, although the topics overlap, different views. Someone a little more yellow. Oprah has a message, she talks more about spirituality, she is more concerned about the same topic, but from a spiritual point of view. And Ricki Lake has the same theme, but from a scandalous point of view. So it all depends on performance. Something else amazes me: where do they get so many heroes from. We have the impression that the characters wander from one program to another, on the same day they manage to visit. This is bad.

K. LARINA: “Lena, tell me what you did before the programs” Good morning”, “Good afternoon”, “Domino principle”? Andrey asks.

E. ISHCHEEVA: I worked on the radio. I came as a courier, I will not hide it, I was an ordinary courier when I entered the Faculty of Journalism, at the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Department of the USSR in the literary and dramatic editorial office on Kachalova Street.

R. VALIULIN: We have been there, we know.

E. ISHCHEEVA: She wore daddies there, so she knew Ostankino, knew Pyatnitskaya. And then they noticed me, invited me to the children's editorial office, first as an editor, then as a correspondent, then as a special correspondent, then at the age of 18 I went to represent our radio in Switzerland, then to London ...

R. VALIULIN: What does it mean to represent the radio?

E. ISHCHEEVA: I participated in international conferences from radio, Russian radio, Soviet, post-Soviet. That is, someone believed, someone sent. I myself am surprised.

K. LARINA: Probably, beautiful girl then it was very.

E. ISHCHEEVA: But I knew English well then. And she graduated from the Faculty of Journalism - can you brag? With a red diploma, it sounds like a sentence. And at the same moment, Pavel Vladimirovich Kasparov took me to ORT in the Telemorning program, and immediately he sent me as a wedding gift to Japan, and from there I brought the 15-episode reportage series Letters at Dawn, from which the entire editorial board was tired . And they said - this girl should not be sent anywhere else, she is all Japanese ... They still call and say - God, who did you send? This is a robot, not a human.

K. LARINA: And then Good Morning started right away.

E. ISHCHEEVA: “Good morning,” and there was a correspondent, a special correspondent, conducting, gradually, and then the lid slammed shut.

K. LARINA: You won't say why? What's there? Intrigue?

E. ISHCHEEVA: I don't know. I have a lot of friends who work there now. I know that psychologically something is happening, something is in the air, I really want everything to be fine with ORT, but I'm worried about the guys.

K. LARINA: “Greetings to Lena Ishcheeva from Yuri Gridnev.”

E. ISHCHEEVA: My classmate. Wow!

K. LARINA: Yura, leave the phone, Lena will call you.

E. ISCHEEVA: I had Gridnev alone in the class, and the other was Gridnev just at Radio-1. Maybe it's from there.

K. LARINA: Now a question for Lena Hange. “Can you use the example of your family to illustrate the situation of life in the shadow of the stars? Or are you wrong?" asks Boris.

E.HANGA: First of all, I don't consider myself a star. Absolutely seriously. And secondly, in the shadow I don't even quite understand the question of who is in whose shadow.

R. VALIULIN: Lena spent most of her life in the sun, in my opinion, and not in the shade...

E.HANGA: You need to go to KVN. The captains competition is yours. I have friends there, I can put in a good word.

K. LARINA: Now Irina asks about the indecent program. This is an interesting point, by the way. Kolya Fomenko was our guest last week, he was approximately asked the same question. He was accused of showing his "Empire of Passion", and it was the opening of this road to nowhere called "full glazing." This is where it all began, they say. Irina accuses you of the fact that your program “About it” prepared the arrival of an even more shameless program “Behind the Glass”.

E. HANGA: I do not agree. No one peeped at us, I don’t think that we had an indecent transfer, it didn’t excite anyone at all, in any case, it was not conceived as such a transfer. We shared impressions, sensations, and people were all dressed, no one expressed himself, and if they expressed themselves, it was only literary. We had experts, we had doctors.

I think we rather had educational transmission and a bit entertaining. But the topic is sex. But this does not mean ... In general, sex and “glass” are completely different things, I don’t even quite understand the connection between the fact that in one program people spy on how others are sitting and just swell from nothing to do, but in our program we just had something to do...

R. VALIULIN: And to what extent did the very topic that you raised led to the fact that people were frank? To what extent did the topic lead them to this?

K. LARINA: Now a question about ethics in television. There are several listeners who turn to you with this question - both to Lena and Lena. Do you know the prehistory of the appearance of your program, that this place was the show of Marina Yudenich, which was closed due to the fact that the rating was low? As far as we know, there was some kind of tragedy related to her health.

E.HANGA: She had a stroke.

K. LARINA: How much this is connected with her departure or non-departure - I don’t know, but, nevertheless, how important it is for you, and did you communicate with Marina Yudenich?

E. ISHCHEEVA: When I arrived, the first thing I asked was what was wrong with Marina. Because at that moment I was working for ORT, I hosted Good Day, and I didn’t see Marina’s program, sometimes, a little bit, I didn’t even know what it was. I also didn’t know anything about low ratings, there’s no time to monitor competitors when you are constantly on the air. I say - what about Marina? I was told that the program was officially closed not because of low ratings. She feels very bad. A tragedy happened to a man. And the whole team, I saw, they look at me and do not know how to approach me first. I say guys, you understand, I just want to work and I want everything to work out.

K. LARINA: And the same group works with you?

E. ISHCHEEVA: The same team. Andrei Komarov, he met me, and he talked to me for a long time, trying to understand what kind of person I am. And I realized that they did not know whether it would work or not. And this burden that happened to Marina - now I ... Suppose Lena often reassures me. I take everything so close to my heart. She says: Lena, you will finish at Kashchenko. Because we play real TV, we work live. This is the only live talk show of its kind. We are all unpredictable. I then stumbled in the middle of the studio, and the whole country saw it.

K.LARINA: Why the only one? Is there Freedom of Speech by Savik Shuster, Voice of the People?

E. ISHCHEEVA: I mean a talk show of such a level, when different characters come out, action, daytime, I won't name our competitors, but live entertainment.

K. LARINA: Let’s name it, because there is, after all, the “Big Wash”, recorded, there is all sorts of commissar’s stuff like this…

E. ISHCHEEVA: There is “What a woman wants”, again, recorded.

K. LARINA: And then Yulia Menshova - the program is also on record.

E. ISHCHEEVA: And you yourself said: we have a live broadcast, this is an advantageous difference. Lena and I get tired, like all Russian women. On Monday we go out so fresh, rested, then by Thursday I look at the record and think: my God, how tired I am ... That is, our children also do not sleep at night, we get tired and work together with women, they are all see, there is another difference.

R. VALIULIN: That is, you are ordinary Russian citizens.

E. ISHCHEEVA: What is so difficult about us? We also have hungry children and unfed husbands who are tired of everything.

E.HANGA: No, my child is not hungry. Because I express milk several times a day and send it to my mother-in-law.

R. VALIULIN: I would like to remember Pugacheva’s song “I’m just getting tired” ...

K. LARINA: ... "Just like everyone else, like everyone else." Now they are asking, apparently, about your program, about the auction. Do you have an auction? "Real or a joke?" listeners ask.

E. ISHCHEEVA: We had an auction of bachelors. What, did anyone like it?

K.LARINA: They ask if this is a real auction or was it a joke?

E. ISHCHEEVA: Why? Real.

K. LARINA: Did you sell men?

E.HANGA: They did.

E. ISHCHEEVA: They offered our TV bachelors, who said what they want to get from a woman, who to meet. Letters, I hope, will go, only three days have passed. But there were a lot of calls indeed.

K. LARINA: And, of course, they ask who is ahead, how do you select the heroes, is there any concept of the program, our listeners ask, what is the topic.

E. ISHCHEEVA: There is a topic for the next week, we will not disclose it. Watch broadcast. We will also fight to the last, so that in our studio there are real heroes, not decoy ducks. We are here now, and the editors are calling, the phones at the editorial office are relentlessly busy, I could not get through until one in the morning. Now I have come, I was looking for real guests - tragic stories, people who could and knew how to stand up for themselves. We are in search mode, so we will not disclose everything.

K. LARINA: How often do unpredictable situations happen on the program? By the way, to the issue of live broadcasting.

E.HANGA: We only had a few broadcasts, and the only unpredictable situation for me was when they said that they would bring Michael Jackson's dad, and I had to quickly change in my mind. Because we had everything in mind, of course, it was planned, we had to quickly figure out how to deal with the translation, for example. It is very interesting there: for some reason, his translator refused to translate, saying that she does not look good today. And, in theory, she had to translate into the ear. She says no, today it will not work with the translation, translate yourself. These are the things.

E. ISHCHEEVA: But we worked very well. That is, Lena in English, I immediately began to translate it English questions into Russian, and it really turned out to be a talk show, word for word - it was a lot of fun, take our word for it.

R. VALIULIN: By the way, what are the host's methods to raise the rating? Maybe you can reveal some of your secrets? How can the presenter himself contribute to raising the rating of the program?

E.HANGA: I don't think the host can, I think it all depends on the characters. One hero can make a transfer, and it is not at all necessary that it be a star, the main thing is that there is an interesting story or that he tells about an uninteresting story, it is interesting that there is a sparkle in his eyes.

R. VALIULIN: Lena, in my opinion, does not agree with you.

E.HANGA: I agree, I would like to add that the rating is made by the sincerity of both the presenters and the characters. When you don't lie, when your eyes burn, the people pay in kind.

K. LARINA: I do not agree with you. Or all these calendars are lying... They say that Komissarov has a crazy rating. I cannot convict him of sincerity, his program.

E. ISHCHEEVA: I don't know, I didn't hold a candle over his rating.

E.HANGA: Topics.

K. LARINA: It seems to me that this is not an indicator.

R. VALIULIN: But at the same time, the presenter keeps the dynamics of the program.

E. ISHCHEEVA: It's not the host who is holding. Holds the director, who sits in our ear and says: why are you interrupting, well, quickly shut up!

K.LARINA: You don't make yourself dumber than you really are. You need to clearly imagine the audience that is watching you now, and still somehow combine yourself with it. How sincere it is is the question.

E. ISHCHEEVA: I am asking a question that is of interest to me not as a journalist with 15 years of experience, but as an ordinary woman. I imagine that I am now frying eggs in the kitchen - that's what I would ask her about. My task is to guess what the viewer wants to get from this character, what information. And when you guess right, they watch with you and are just as interested as you are. You must anticipate and feel the viewer with your spine.

R. VALIULIN: Does this woman have a higher education, or does it not matter?

E. ISHCHEEVA: It doesn't matter at all. Although I have a higher, I sometimes ask terribly funny questions, and, it seems to me, stupid, but I understand that they are interesting to me, as well. I'm a woman and I'm interested.

R. VALIULIN: I'm talking about the portrait of the audience. What person do you see?

E.HANGA: It seems to me that there are topics that are of interest to absolutely everyone, and they speak the same language. If you are talking about children, the topic of divorce, the topic of bachelors - do you need a higher education to discuss the topic of bachelors? No. And by the way, I think that people without a higher education in everyday life are much wiser than a person with a higher education, who is dominated by this higher education.

K. LARINA: We are so accustomed to talking about the topics “Bachelors”, “My husband left me”, “Me and my rival” - the titles with which the screens are dotted. It's all so abstract things, it's impossible to find a recipe for everyone here.

E.HANGA: Of course. Therefore, Lena and I are discussing the fact that we do not have the right to generalize, firstly, and secondly, to express our point of view. I am always very against the fact that the leader expressed a point of view at the end and said you are right and you are wrong. It seems to me that people are just interested in seeing what kind of stories there are. Like a doctor you came to see, and he looks at you and says: “Oh, how good, and this is good, and this is good ...” - “What, am I all right?” - “You feel bad, I say, it’s good that I don’t have all this!” It’s the same here: a person looks and thinks, it’s necessary, my life has nevertheless developed, if it’s not so with me ...

R. VALIULIN: Again, I want to return to this issue. Television producers still somewhat belittle the audience to which they broadcast. I got in touch a little in my time with television, and there is a collective portrait of the audience, often enough this name is called, this is Baba Manya from some distant town. Do you agree with this position?

E. ISHCHEEVA: No. We are just now getting to know our audience. Let's suppose we thought that Jackson's dad would have a crazy rating, it would seem that the schoolchildren came from schools, around 3 o'clock. And yesterday the ratings of our last broadcast came, where stars and non-stars told how they gave birth to children at the age of 14, at 42, surrogate motherhood, that's all! Jackson's dad is resting. The rating was almost one and a half times higher. And here we understand who our audience is, we begin to gradually feel it. That is, we follow the numbers, and our producer Sergei Shumakov says: I understand who is watching us. Now it remains for us to fully understand.

K. LARINA: Well, who is watching?

E. ISHCHEEVA: If this topic is interesting - how to get pregnant, how to give birth, whom to implant, how much does it cost, who watches us? Young girls, women who are either expecting a child, or carrying a child, or nannies who feed a child, housewives, this is our audience. That is, the female theme defeated the pop idol in part.

E.HANGA: I tried to understand how the ratings reflect reality. After all, it may be that someone looked at Jackson's dad and decided: "Oh, how interesting, we should look tomorrow." Also not the fact that this program was more interesting than the previous one. Or maybe it's just cold outside, people are sitting at home. I don’t know, by the way, you need to read the literature and find out if there are some statistics there, how the ratings reflect objective reality.

E. ISHCHEEVA: A bohemian is still watching us, who at this moment is having breakfast or lunch, who is going to the theater for a rehearsal. I just know that people come about, we know you, you don’t need to introduce yourself, we saw you all the time in Good Day on ORT. And I already feel who watched me. Mama Baskova knew us all very well, she says - I know your program, I don’t need to explain anything.

K. LARINA: Did you visit the Basques too?

E. ISHCHEEVA: Baskov's mother.

R. VALIULIN: You hit your parents more.

E. ISHCHEEVA: So it was "The Surroundings of the Stars".

K. LARINA: Well, how does Baskov's mother feel in the shadow of a star?

E. ISHCHEEVA: I liked it very much. Good aunt.

E.HANGA: Temperamental, emotional.

E. ISHCHEEVA: He speaks very well and answers any questions. She also shaved off the journalist who tried to put her in a puddle. Well done. Although it is clear that life has passed through the garrisons, it can stand up for itself.

K. LARINA: Did the Basques sing?

E. ISHCHEEVA: He was not there.

E.HANGA: Sabina sang with us.

E. ISHCHEEVA: We arranged such a small competition. Jackson's dad introduced the rising star Crystal, and Lena, well done, she says: well, maybe you will sing? And the girl refused categorically to sing without a phonogram. And that's it, live broadcast, you can't get anywhere. She sang. I stand and think something is missing in the program. Questions, questions ... And here Sabina is sitting, a child prodigy girl, who is now Lysenkov's wife, also with a small baby, and disappeared somewhere.

K. LARINA: Is she a child prodigy?

E. ISHCHEEVA: There was. Our program was "Gifted Children".

K. LARINA: In what ways was she a child prodigy?

E. ISHCHEEVA: So they wrote in the newspapers. When she won the Morning Star at the age of 10 or 12, she wrote music...

K. LARINA: Lena, stop it! You are a grown woman!

E. ISHCHEEVA: No, I'm still a child.

K. LARINA: Naive! Here is a sincere person. Here Hanga is sitting, he understands everything.

E. ISHCHEEVA: In short, Sabina sang, and then she tells me - such a cool competition. And everyone was wondering who would sing better, an American or ours. And everyone, of course, was rooting for ours. And so it turned out to be a small show, here is a live broadcast.

K. LARINA: But are you bored yet?

E.HANGA: No. You always have to change. You've been doing so many years... But you're doing more than one thing, you have television, you switch. You have to be nervous all the time, you can't get used to it. Because when it is already done on the machine, then it is dreary. And when you still don’t know how it will turn out, you think about it after the broadcast, you talk, you get friends, you look into your eyes, you fuss, then, probably, an interesting program turns out. And when you get used to it, then everyone already feels it.

R. VALIULIN: And your relatives? What is the reaction from your family and friends?

E.HANGA: My relatives don't watch, except for my mother-in-law, who is the most reliable person, who watches all programs carefully and then advises something, very tactfully. She likes something, she doesn't like something, and in order not to offend me, she says - well, yes, that's good. And I understand that, of course, not as good as we would like. And when it's very good, she says yes, I was proud of you! Since she is a stingy person for praise, her opinion is very important to me. Differently.

K. LARINA: And if you dream? The ideal model of your program, Elena Hanga's program?What would you like, no matter what?

E.HANGA: I don't want to tell you.

K.LARINA: But there is? Why can't it be done now?

E.HANGA: Probably, we need to come to this. When the time comes, I will do something else. When I did “About it”, they told me: “Well, you signed your own sentence. No one else will invite you to anything else." Yes, of course, on Goodnight, kids ”, it is unlikely that I will be invited to the daytime show either, but maybe there will be something else in the evening. And this is how fate turned - they called me to the daytime show. So I believe that you can change your karma, change what is attached to you for a while.

R. VALIULIN: What should be done to prevent labels from sticking?

E.HANGA: Don't be afraid to try something else.

K. LARINA: But it seems to me that you still shouldn’t deceive yourself. To put it bluntly, be yourself. Because I remember this indecent program “About It”, after all, then it was even clear that Lena was a different person, because she was embarrassed, uncomfortable, she herself overcame it in the frame, it was visible. Therefore, it was impossible to stick a label there.

E.HANGA: Thank you.

K. LARINA: Lena, do you have a dream, is such a program ideal for you?

E. ISHCHEEVA: Do not fail on the next broadcast.

K. LARINA: No, seriously. What kind of program do you see that you can do in its entirety as an author, presenter?

E. ISHCHEEVA: I am not dreaming about anything now. I got very burned. When you dream and people see that you have wings behind your back, I don’t want to talk about this topic, they cut very quickly and with one blow. And you understand that your fate does not depend on you. My dad Lena told me all the time, first you work for authority, and then authority works for you. I always did everything gradually myself, and I realized that, unfortunately, this recipe for survival on our television does not work today. There will always be people who will say and stab in the back. I don't dream of anything right now. I dream of growing up normal child so that everything is fine in my house. And television came today, gone tomorrow. I understand too soberly that I'm unlikely to decide my fate there. The notorious rating, management and people who either believe in me or not will decide. I have become too sober, albeit naive.

R. VALIULIN: And at the same time, do not take all sorts of television intrigues and twists and turns so close to your heart.

E. ISHCHEEVA: And this is what makes me different, which is too close.

R.VALIULIN: I don't think it's worth it.

K. LARINA: We have an introduction to the song that Lena asked us to put on.

E. ISHCHEEVA: I love A-ha very much since childhood, I am an avid fan of it, I asked to put “Sun always shines on TV” in the theme of our program so that the sun always shines in our program “The Domino Principle” on NTV.

Ah, what were the times! The program "Morning Star", "Love at First Sight", "Morning Mail", "Me and My Dog" ... The whole country could not be pulled out of the house when these programs were shown on TV. And then most of them closed. Just. Without explaning the reason. Woman's Day decided to find out where the country's most beloved TV programs have gone. The very ones whose success most modern TV shows have not been able to repeat so far.

"Morning Star"

Photo frame from the transfer

Start

In 1991, on the First Channel of the then Soviet television, a new musical program "Morning Star" was aired, which immediately won the hearts of all viewers.

The famous TV presenter, actor and showman Yuri Nikolaev became the author and host of the program. It is worth noting that Yuri could not then find a sponsor to select a team, children, operators, rent premises ... The author of the program had to invest his own money in the program, borrowed from a bank.

Contest Rules

The program was held on a competitive basis, in which the participants showed their skills in the vocal or dance genre, depending on age (age groups from 3 to 15 and from 15 to 22 years). The jury, consisting of four people, gave an assessment to each of the participants. The one with the most points advanced to the next round. In addition, the program included a contest of presenters and a contest young performers classical music held jointly with the New Names Foundation.

I must say, "Morning Star" paved the way to fame for many now famous pop performers, such as Ani Lorak, Yulia Nachalova, Sergey Lazarev, and many others. The program, which lasted 12 years, was repeatedly awarded the highest awards, including international ones.

Latest release

In 2002, she migrated from Channel One to TVC, where she existed until 2003. On November 16, 2003, the last release of the program took place.

The creator of the program that will be remembered forever by everyone happily recalls the past years and is sad that his offspring was closed.

In his opinion, today there are few programs for teenagers on domestic television, and he would very much like to revive the Morning Star, but, unfortunately, this does not depend on him.

“When I conceived the program, I thought that if it lasts for several years, it will be great,” recalls Yuri Alexandrovich. - As a result, the transfer lasted 13 years. For the program, I think this is a very good indicator. Nevertheless, television goes further, new formats have appeared, new views from Channel One. The "Star Factory" appeared, which was considered similar to the "Morning Star", and my program was closed. It’s not that I’m offended, it’s just my brainchild, and, probably, I should have gone further, developed more. Although I was always introducing some new ideas, nominations, decorations. But, probably, it was necessary to change the form itself in accordance with the times. Of course, I dream of resuming Morning Star, but I think that it would hardly have sounded on Channel One. Now there is a children's "Voice", a very good program. Perhaps she would have gone on another channel. You see, now all channels have transformed my idea in one form or another, and now every channel has children's programs. Of course, what I came up with is an author's program. Now, alas, there are practically no copyright programs, and I don’t remember that since the 1990s someone has promoted their own brand. I did it and I'm happy that I did it."

"Love at first sight"

Photo frame from the transfer

Start

Love at First Sight is a television romantic game show. It aired from January 12, 1991 to August 31, 1999 on the RTR TV channel. The very first episode of the program was filmed in London, in the studio where the English version of "Love at first sight" was filmed. The hosts of the program were Alla Volkova and Boris Kryuk. And the voice of Hook now sounds in the program “What? Where? When?".

In 2011, an attempt was made to revive the show with slightly modified rules on the MTV channel, but the attempt was unsuccessful. The transfer in this form lasted less than six months.

There are still analogues of the TV game, but "Love at First Sight" has remained for our viewers one of the brightest and most unusual programs. Soviet period. First of all, the audience loved her for her mystery and romance. There was no vulgarity in it, which is now in abundance on the modern television screen.

Rules of the game

The action took place in two stages. On the first day, three girls and three guys met for the first time in the studio, where they answered the insidious questions of the presenters. At the end of the game, by simultaneously pressing the buttons, it was determined who sympathized with whom. If the participants' opinions matched those of the computer, the happy couple went to a restaurant to get to know each other better and prepare for the next stage.

On the next day, the participants were asked to answer the questions of the presenters, how the partner (sha) would behave in a given situation. The correct answer gave the right to one shot, which were realized at the end of the game. Shooting was carried out in sectors, behind which were various prizes, including the main one - "Romantic Journey". When they hit the "Broken Heart", the game stopped and the couple lost everything "that was acquired by overwork."

Subsequently, the rules changed somewhat - the pair for the second stage began to be determined by the vote of the audience in the studio, and the number of heart sectors decreased (but the Broken Heart sector disappeared). The main idea of ​​the program - the creation of a happy married couple, for whom a romantic trip would be a wedding gift, remained.

End of love

In this form, "Love" lasted until the end of August 1999. After the closing of this show, Alla got married for the third time and disappeared from the screens. However, she didn't stop. creative activity, becoming the editor of the production center "Game-TV".

But Boris Kryuk remained in front of the public, hosting the program “What? Where? When?".

“You know, the story of why the program was closed is overgrown with legends. In fact, the last few years of its existence, the broadcasts went out less and less. The last shooting was in 1998 right before Black Tuesday, - shared Boris Kryuk. “So the economic situation has had an impact. I must say that it was quite an expensive show because of the scenery, computers, etc. Alla and I grew up a little during the journey and wanted to move on. As a result, "Love at First Sight" went on for some more time, but still closed. Everything was by mutual agreement, no one had any complaints about this. After that, a lot of analogues appeared on the screens, which could not repeat our success.

Now I have found myself so much in the program “What? Where? When?" because I'm not on the screen. I don't like it when people come up to me and want something from me. By my nature, I am not an actor, I do not need to be loved, looked at, etc. I prefer to stay in the background."

In the super game of the transfer, all six screens open at once, on which the words of the song are mixed up in places. Either the facilitator may ask the finalist team to name a number from one to six, or invite the finalist to the stage to select one of the six balloons, each with the same numbers written on it.

"Window"

Photo frame from the transfer

Start

The first issue of the program "Windows" was released on the STS channel on May 20, 2002. And immediately gathered a huge audience at the screens. After all, spying on the neighbors through the keyhole is a curious and beloved by many people. And in the program, passions were in full swing: offended wives pulled out the hair of their husband's mistresses, men fought because of the slightest insults, both strippers and transvestites came to the program, and, of course, all this was accompanied by obscene language. The audience has never seen such a show! On Channel One there were similar programs with similar washing of bones and digging in dirty linen: “Big Wash”, “My Family”, but it seemed that there were still some kind of framework. In "Windows" they were completely erased.

There was another factor why the audience liked the show so much. It was led by the charming Dmitry Nagiyev in a shirt unbuttoned on his chest and with long curly hair. He was not shy in expressions, sometimes he himself pushed the foreheads of the guests, and his “everything, bye, bye” is still remembered by the audience.

Plot

The idea and style of the program is copied from The Jerry Springer Show, which has been on the air since 1991.

Usually the plot of the program developed according to the following scheme: Dmitry Nagiev explained the background of the conflict, then the participants were invited to the studio one by one. The heroes dealt with each other verbally or with the use of force. In this case, by the way, there was a “security service” in the studio, consisting of two strong men, whose goal was to separate the fighting.

After the end of the discussion, the host announced the "gong" and invited the audience to speak about the problem, and each was given exactly ten seconds. So, for one program, three different stories were analyzed, which were not connected in any way.

Latest release

A few months after the start of the broadcast of the program, the newly appeared TVS channel wanted to lure the rating “Windows” to itself. But the author of the scandalous talk show, Valery Komissarov, changed his mind at the last moment and canceled the deal.

In 2002 a new CEO channel STS Alexander Rodnyansky decided to close "Windows". And from July 22, 2002, the program began to appear on the TNT channel. True, the rest of the summer, until September 1, was also played on STS on the old editions of Okon.

In February 2005, the last block of programs was filmed, and in the same year the talk show was closed due to fading ratings. The fact is that by this moment the audience was finally convinced that all the characters are dummy actors. At first, many believed that this real people dared to come to the program to sort out their family affairs. But attentive viewers began to notice that in some issues the characters are repeated, but the stories they tell do not match.

“I’ll tell you a secret: during the existence of the program, there was not a single real hero in it,” Dmitry admitted a few years after the show closed. - So far, no one has repeated the success of "Windows". Imagine when a channel with a share of 3.4% (professionals should understand this) gives 26%. It's like an ant carrying an elephant. It was like this.

God bless the creators of the program. During my work at Okny, I bought real estate in Moscow. So we still exist in a small apartment - me and my mother with a cat.

Lolita without complexes

Start

The first issue of the program was released on Channel One on August 29, 2005. Eternal theme: family problems, relationships between fathers and children, men and women, sex, love... But there is one difference: Lolita's emotionality. The singer talked to each guest like a close friend. She never condemned, but she could openly express the most impartial criticism, and then cry with the hero. Her motto: "Getting rid of complexes helps a person to change his attitude to life, and therefore change his life."

Plot

Each program was devoted to a separate topic. Lolita indicated a series of questions that she tried to answer together with her guests, each of whom told his story at a separate table in the center of the hall. The studio was also attended by professional psychologists, psychotherapists, who gave the characters specific advice and helped them find a way out of the most hopeless situations. And this, by the way, was a breakthrough in the talk show format. Lolita was one of the first to work in conjunction with professional commentators, for which in 2007 she was awarded the national television award "TEFI" in the nomination " Talk show host».

Latest release

The talk show was closed in 2007 at the initiative of Lolita herself. The singer admitted that this work terribly exhausted her.

“There is no secret here, I was just tired and left,” Lolita said. - I passed all the stories through myself, delved into the essence of each, got madly tired and, as a result, broke down from overexertion. Physically, at that time, I passed too much, because television is not my only job. And I was not satisfied with the installation of the program. What took place on the site was livelier and richer than what went on the air. I'm talking about technical flaws. It happens that the operator misses, and the one who sits at the control panel in the editing room is too lazy to tell about it. I am a perfectionist by nature, so when I see this, I swear. I’m used to delve into everything to the very essence and I don’t understand how you can work carelessly. I'm uncomfortable."

Return

After 8 years, the program has a chance to return to the screens. True, on a different channel and with a different name.

- For those who missed the program "Without complexes": since August 2014, the shooting of my new show "Lolita" has been going on, - said good news singer. We got the go-ahead after the pilot episodes. The program will be aired on Friday!

"I myself"

Start

The first truly female talk show appeared on February 22, 1995, on the eve of the men's holiday Defender of the Fatherland Day, as a protest against the fact that most films and programs of that time were oriented towards men: politics, sports, action films, etc. In the program "I myself" they talked only about women's issues under the direction of Yulia Menshova, daughter of director Vladimir Menshov and actress Vera Alentova. Julia did not want to follow in the footsteps of her star parents, and this was her first attempt to do something on her own. In just a few months, she has already become one of the most popular, most recognizable TV presenters on the Russian television screen.

Plot

Celebrities, experts in various fields and the most ordinary people gathered in the studio to talk openly, argue about pressing issues: “I don’t love my child”, “My husband joined a sect”, etc. AT different periods When the talk show went on the air, Yulia Menshova had co-hosts: playwright and prose writer Irina Khrisanfova, psychologist Olga Serdobova, and writer Maria Arbatova.

closure

The program “I myself” lasted until 2002, first airing on the TV-6 channel, and later on NTV. Over the years of its existence, the program “I myself” has repeatedly changed its style, appeared on different channels, but all this time it has remained one of the most popular, highest-rated talk shows. In 1999, Yulia Menshova became the winner of the TEFI national television award in the Talk Show Host nomination. “Before working on the show“ Myself ”, dad was not too proud of my success. Basically, they sawed me with my mother, ”Julia recalled. - And when I left under their wing, theater and cinema, and took up television, some kind of objectivity came. They began to react more calmly. And finally they became proud of me. After receiving TEFI, my dad even praised me for the first time.

Return to TV

After almost 10 years, Yulia Menshova returned to TV. On Channel One, her author's program “Alone with Everyone” is now being released, where she talks with popular people for an hour. “This is a return to the native home,” Yulia admitted. - Over the past 10 years, some changes have taken place on television, but they are more of a structural order. What we once opened as a bicycle is now working on an automatic machine. And it's very nice. As for the actual recording of the program, I don't have the feeling that there was any kind of pause at all. I do not feel mad excitement, I calculate my strength and know what I can and what not. Probably, when it really is your business, you adequately assess your strengths, without underestimating the possibilities and not exaggerating.

"Lucky case"

Photo frame from the transfer

Start

On domestic television, the family TV show appeared in 1989. This is not the know-how of our producers, but an analogue of the American show "Race for the Leader". Each edition was attended by two teams (families), consisting of four people. They answered the intellectual questions of the presenter, each other, viewers. Based on the results of 5 rounds, the winner was determined. The team, which managed to win four games in a row, received unimaginable prizes at that time: a TV, a VCR and a music center.

Rules

The rules of the quiz have changed over time. Initially, on the table in front of the teams there was a playing field with colored sectors, indicating the topics of the questions. After 1994 this field disappeared. True, a new round appeared, where pop stars, actors, athletes asked questions to the participants. The ratings for Lucky Chance were crazy until 1999. After moving from ORT to TVC, the program lasted another couple of months, and then completely closed.

Leading

From the very first issue, the quiz was hosted by Mikhail Marfin, who, one might say, along with Voroshilov, instilled in Russians a love for smart games. In addition to hosting Lucky Chance, Mikhail from 1992 to 2004 was the editor of major league KVN, in 2007-2009 he was a permanent member of the jury of the TNT programs Laughter Without Rules and Killer League. Since 2013, he has been hosting the show "You Can't Think Smarter" on the STV channel. Writes scripts for series and films.

"Women's Look" by Oksana Pushkina

Photo frame from the transfer

Start

For the first time, the domestic viewer found out who Oksana Pushkina was in 1997. Upon returning to her homeland after a long stay in the United States, the journalist came to the VID company with a proposal to make an author's program about the difficult fate of women. The creators of VID liked the idea. A couple of months later appeared on the air " Women's stories"Oksana Pushkina". The audience instantly remembered Pushkina's manner of presentation: the revelations of the stars talking about their difficult life, overcoming adversity and a sympathetic voice-over. Oksana at the moment became one of the most popular presenters.

Moving to NTV

True, despite the success, two years later, Pushkin moved to NTV due to financial disagreements with the channel. Like, no money was paid. Oksana's new program became known as Oksana Pushkina's Women's Look. But the "first button" did not lag behind. Oerteshniks launched a twin project "Women's Stories" with Tatyana Pushkina. Not only did the hosts of similar programs have the same last names, they also looked very similar in appearance. As a result, the two channels had almost identical programs.

closure

Latest issue " female look…” aired in 2013. The transfer was closed due to Pushkina's return to Channel One.

Talk show "Arina"

Photo frame from the transfer

Start

The program aired on the NTV channel in 1998-1999. The host, as the name implies, is Arina Sharapova. The genre of this show is very similar to Yulia Menshova's project "Alone with Everyone", which is now on Channel One.

The essence of the project

Arina came to the studio famous people and talked on various, sometimes very personal topics. For example, on one of the broadcasts of the talk show there was Lyudmila Gurchenko, who spoke about terrible disease, which she transferred in the 96th. Sharapova's program was distinguished by very interesting, but at the same time tactful questions and, of course, the charm of the presenter.

closure

However, in October 1999, Arina left for TV-6, and in 2001 she returned to the First, where she still leads Good Morning. From 2007 to 2010, Sharapova was the co-host of Fashion Sentence. In 2013, she held several editions of the game "The Most best husband", in 2014 - the host of the project" Island of Crimea ". Since the same 2014, she has been the president of the School of Arts and Media Technologies.

"Brain Ring"

Photo frame from the transfer

Start

Another intellectual show of domestic production from Vladimir Voroshilov. The creator of the program "What? Where? When?" I conceived this project in the early 80s. However, he managed to bring the idea to life only a decade later. The essence of the program is close to that of ChGK, however, instead of one team of experts, two teams of 6 people each answer the same questions. The order of answers is determined by the button on the table of participants: whoever clicked first - first and answered. Accordingly, the intensity of passions due to competitive struggle intensified.

Leading

The first few issues in the early 90s were conducted by Voroshilov himself. In 1991, Andrei Kozlov, one of the experts in the elite club, became the project leader. In addition to him, Alexander Druz, Boris Burda, Vladimir Belkin took part in the Brain Ring at different times.

What now?

The program also moved frequently from channel to channel. At first, it was shown on the first button, for some time it was on the TVC. From February 6 to December 4, 2010, she appeared on the STS TV channel. The hosts were Andrey Kozlov and actress Elizaveta Arzamasova (in the image of Galina Sergeevna Vasnetsova, a character in the series " father's daughters"). In 2013, several episodes were shown by the Zvezda channel (a special tournament among employees of the Ministry of Defense).

Also, their versions of the show were released in Ukraine, Belarus, Azerbaijan.

"Up to 16 and over"

Photo frame from the transfer

Start

In 1983, a program appeared on the First Program of the Central Television of the USSR, highlighting the life of young people. Moreover, it spoke not only about the achievements and successes of young Soviet citizens, but also about their problems. Homelessness, hazing in the army, drugs and rock and roll - the presenters and correspondents of "Up to 16 ..." dealt with the most burning topics. Even intimate issues were discussed in the “Tete-a-tete” section. Famous people were often invited to the program. So, in 1988, immediately after the sensational film "The Needle", the idol of that time, Viktor Tsoi, appeared on the air.

Journalists and presenters

On the initial stage The issue was a magazine consisting of separate stories, reports. Later, the program became closer to the format of a talk show with the studio and guests discussing the burning topics of the younger generation. Among the hosts of the show were Sergey Suponev, who since 1986 worked in the Children's Edition of the Central Television and prepared stories for the program "Under 16 and Over" and Alexei Veselkin.

closure

On the blue screens"Under 16 and older" lasted a long time, until 2001. Since then, the project has been on indefinite leave. No one has fully occupied this niche.

"The Domino Principle"

Photo frame from the transfer

Start

The program started on the NTV channel in 2001. Elena Ishcheeva and Elena Khanga were chosen as the hosts of the Domino Principle. Issues were daily. The program caused an unprecedented stir - more than 700 programs went on the air in three television seasons.

The essence of the program

The talk show was based on real heroes and real stories. In each episode, the presenters, together with the guests and experts of the program, discussed a specific situation or problem. The name "Domino Principle" was intended to reflect the essence of what is happening in the studio - the desire to study every circumstance, every factor that affects the chain of subsequent events. In a figurative sense, when one domino pushes another, the whole chain falls.

closure

More and more often, Elena Ishcheeva and Elena Hanga had to resolve conflicts not only between the participants of the broadcasts, but also between themselves. As Ishcheeva later admitted, she and Khanga could not work together, but if this happened, the program could have existed for a very, very long time. By 2006, ratings for The Domino Principle were so low that the program had to be taken off the air.

"Details"

Photo frame from the transfer

Start

The program appeared on the TV network of the STS channel in 2002. Tina Kandelaki became the host of "Details". The episodes were broadcast live. The production of the first version of the program, which was released from September to December 2002, was carried out by the TV company VID. Then the program went for revision and returned to the air only in 2003.

The essence of the program

Guests came to Tina Kandelaki's studio, with whom it would be interesting and informative to talk on various topics. From 2003 to 2007, the “Details in the Morning” program was released, hosted by Sasha Markvo and Nastya Chukhrai, and the regular issue was released on weekdays at night. From this program went "Stories in Detail" and "Cinema in Detail". Since the autumn of 2006, the program has been broadcast live and has become interactive - anyone can call the studio of the program and ask the guest a question. At the same time, politicians were never invited to the program in accordance with the apolitical concept of STS broadcasting.

closure

In November 2006, Tina Kandelaki became the winner of the TEFI award in the nomination "Talk Show Host" thanks to this TV show. However, in the first half of 2007, the popular program disappeared from the air of CTC due to the low ratings of the latest episodes. The reason for the ratings downgrade is that the format is not updated. In addition, it was mentioned that over the four years of the existence of the program, Kandelaki managed to talk with almost all possible guests.

In the summer of 2007, we decided to revive the program in updated format. Tina Kandelaki began to lead it along with Renata Litvinova and Kirill Serebrennikov. However, this format did not arouse much audience interest, and after new year holidays In 2008, the program was finally closed.

"Weak Link"

Photo frame from the transfer

Start

The television game "The Weakest Link" on Russian television has become an analogue of the English The Weakest Link. In Russia, the program was launched on September 25, 2001. She immediately aroused the increased interest of the audience and even divided it into two camps: some considered the game to be excessively cruel, revealing the most indecent qualities in people, others, on the contrary, interesting and exciting.

Rules of the game

A team of seven (until November 2001 - nine) previously unknown people is trying to earn a prize of up to 400,000 rubles by answering questions from the presenter. A total of 6 rounds with 7 players, 7 rounds with 8 players, 8 rounds with 9 players and a final. The time of each round is limited (the duration of the first round is 2.5 minutes, each subsequent round is 10 seconds less), the time for thinking about the questions of the final is not limited.

A feature of the transfer is the removal of one of the players at the end of each game round, which is done by voting of all players.

The first question of the first round is given to the player whose name is first in alphabetical order (in subsequent rounds - to the strongest player of the previous round according to statistics, or if the strongest link left the game, then the player with the name first in alphabetical order or the next strongest link in statistics starts the round), then the players answer in turn. In each round, you can earn up to 50,000 rubles by building chains of correct answers. In the last round, any amount earned by the participants is doubled (that is, you can earn up to 100,000 rubles). Most fast way earn the maximum amount - build a chain of 8 correct answers, in this case the round ends ahead of schedule.

Jokes by Maria Kiseleva:

- Who is dragging the whole team down?

Photo frame from the transfer

Start

Popular in the 1990s, the television program of the TV company VID in the genre of a television interview, copied from the Larry King show Larry King Live up to the presenter's suspenders, is one of the programs that "changed the Russians' perception of television." It went live on Channel One Ostankino, and from April 3, 1995 - on ORT from Monday to Thursday at 19:00. The first issue was released on May 30, 1994. Until March 1, 1995, the program was hosted by Vlad Listyev.

The essence of the program

The host of the program, Vlad Listyev, invited a guest to the studio, with whom he had conversations on topical issues - in different years, Kristina Orbakaite, Yuri Nikulin, Yan Arlazorov and others visited the studio.

closure

After the murder of Vlad Listyev on the evening of March 1, 1995, many assumed that the program would be closed, but it continued to air. On the evening of March 2, 1995, an edition of the program dedicated to Vlad Listyev was released, without a host. After the launch of ORT from April 3 to September 28, 1995, the program was alternately hosted by Sergei Shatunov and Dmitry Kiselev, from October 2, 1995 to August 29, 1996, the program was alternately hosted by Dmitry Kiselev and Andrey Razbash. Since September 2, 1996, the talk show was hosted by Andrey Razbash alone. In February 1998, the program covered Olympic Games in Nagano.

Rules of the game

The game was played according to two fundamentally different systems of rules. To be precise, the rules differed even from game to game, in particular, the participation of parents in the rounds in the points season (in some rounds the host released after the first) and the awarding of stars in the second.

Spectacle season

The game consisted of three rounds and a final. The game was attended by 6 teams, each of which consisted of a participant - a schoolboy of about 8-10 grades and one of his parents, less often a teacher or friend. Parents answered all the questions at the same time with the children, bringing them extra points. If the parent gave three incorrect answers, then he left the game. In the points season, there was no sign "0" (there is no correct answer), zero round. The difference between the first and second only affected the order of naming the words in the final.

star season

The star was given for the correct answer of both the participant and the parent in the first and third rounds; in the second, the parent has the longest word, the participant has the longest word, and they received a different number of stars from game to game. The difference in stars gave a handicap in the final: the one who cannot say a word or give a star loses.

If all members should receive a star on one basis, then no one did. It became especially important in the later games, since the record was 9 stars (+1 for opening the red box), and with such a number no one reached the final: it was guaranteed that you could get only 3 + 2 + 2, in the first round you need three the players made a mistake, and in the third - so that the opponents gave the correct answer to the same question or made a mistake.

Zero tour

A gift for the presenter is a craft or a performance. At the beginning, the host gave a star to those who cooked. But after everyone began to cook, the star was given only to the best. Once, the host gave a star to the only contestant who didn't cook anything.

First tour

In the first round, the participants were offered eight objects or concepts indicated on the video board, and asked questions, the answers to which were these objects. The answers were given by lifting up the plates with numbers - the numbers of the answers (respectively, from 1 to 8).

Second round

At the beginning of the second round, 10 large cubes with letters on their faces poured out of the pipe (later - 9 with a star replacing any letter). Those letters that appeared on the upper faces (looking up) were taken for the task. It was necessary to form words from these letters, using as many of the dropped letters as possible. The words were also composed by the parents. For the longest word among the parents, the participant received 50 points. For their words, all participants received 50 points for each letter. Later, a star was awarded for the longest word for the participant, and another one for the parent. In some cases, they received three if they matched.

There was also a game with spectators according to the rules: the spectators who were the first to name each word, if it was the longest that was composed, came out. Then there was one prize: which one - you have to guess (they asked a question in turn, to which you can answer “yes” / “no”). And get a prize if the presenter answered “yes” to the exact, sometimes close, name of the subject).

At least three players advanced to the third round. Those with the longest words came out first. Then those who made shorter words, but had the most points (stars). With equal points, everyone passed.

Prize competition

In the points season: the player who made up the longest word (if several, then the one who scored the most points in rounds 1-2, in case of equality, an additional question was asked) had the right to choose a prize. Prizes were hidden in five numbered boxes, it was necessary to point to the correct box. The player could keep the prize or open another one (up to three boxes). If two had the same number of points (which was rare, they needed equality in the first round), then an additional question was asked.

In the star season: the player with the longest word (if more than one, then the one with the most stars) had the right to choose a prize. Prizes were hidden in seven boxes of different colors and sizes, it was necessary to point to the right box. A star was taken for opening each box. If you do not like the prize, then you can leave it and open another one. One of the boxes contained a star, giving the right to open another box for free. The red box may contain the best prize, but it may also be empty, after which it is impossible to open other boxes in any case (the rule was not introduced immediately). If two participants named a word of equal length and had an equal number of stars, they could open one box each, except for the red one. If there was a star, then he opened the second one for free, "Applause" - for a fee. Sometimes the participants opened the boxes, and there was nothing there...

Third round

In the third round, 4 (later 3) objects or concepts appeared on the scoreboard. For each question, unlike the first round, there were miscellaneous items. It was necessary either to indicate which of the objects or concepts is superfluous, or by raising two tablets at once to show which of the objects must be swapped so that they are located in a certain order. It was evaluated similarly to the first round.

In the late games, the parents did not answer the question, but only the first one to raise the sign and with the correct answer received. The rule changed the strategy: for the leader (who reached the final) there was a theoretical opportunity to be the first to raise the sign, but it was necessary that both opponents answered correctly or both made a mistake, and that an equal number of stars had been previously scored. The lagging behind had to be the first to raise the sign, otherwise they would not go to the final. Only two players qualified for the final.

The final

In the final, participants without parents (later with them) competed against each other, starting with the one with the lowest score. The one with the most wins short words from one long For the word, named alone, received 20 points. For a word named with a parent, +10. If during the game the player scored 1000 points and won the final, he won the super prize.

closure

After the tragic death of the host Sergei Suponev on December 8, 2001, the program ceased to exist. The last episode aired on January 16, 2002. They did not find a replacement for the host, although they tried Sergey Belogolovtsev and Kirill Suponev as new hosts. In addition, many other ORT children's programs were closed, such as Call of the Jungle, as well as the broadcast of animated series at 15:30.

Rules

The program was quite revolutionary for the then Soviet television. Graphic design is a black and white cage, and this was the point: it was chess, and a taxi, and a certain element of clowning. It was a satirical program, they joked both about people and about some events. One of the brightest performances is "The Funeral of Food", a parody of the funeral of Soviet general secretaries. In addition to Ugolnikov, the team also included Nikolai Fomenko, a member of the Secret group, Valdis Pelsh (he directed the first few episodes), actor Yevgeny Voskresensky. It is in "Both-on!"

Elena Khanga is a Russian journalist, TV and radio host, who is familiar to viewers from the popular programs “About This” and “The Domino Principle”. In addition, Elena Khanga is famous as the first Soviet journalist who was invited to Boston on exchange, where the presenter got a job in the reputable American newspaper Christian Science Monitor.

Elena Abdulaevna Khanga was born on May 1, 1962 in Moscow. The TV presenter cannot answer the question of what her nationality is. The roots of the family tree of parents diverge in different and completely unexpected directions.

Elena's father Abdul Kassim Hanga was from Zanzibar, her grandfather was an imam. In 1964, Abdul Khanga was appointed Prime Minister of Zanzibar, but after 4 months of government he was repressed, died in prison when Elena was two years old.

Elena's adoptive father was Lee Young, an African American who now lives in Los Angeles.

The mother of the famous TV presenter Leah Oliverovna Golden was born in the city of Tashkent. Her father, Oliver Golden, was an African-American cotton grower, and her mother, Berta Bialik, was a Polish Jew. The Golden family emigrated from the US to the USSR in 1931. Leah Golden played tennis in her youth, even played for the national team of Uzbekistan, she is a graduate of the Faculty of History of Moscow State University, a historian, and also a professor at the University of Chicago.

Leah Golden had extensive acquaintances. Elena Hangi's mother was friends with her daughter, and lived with her in the hostel of Moscow State University. Subsequently, Leah Oliverovna became the only black employee at the Institute named after Paul Robeson and Dr. William Dubois.

Elena Hanga was raised by her mother and grandmother. Like Leah Golden, she played tennis and even played for the CSKA team. Grandmother spoke to the girl in English, so that she mastered the language as quickly as possible. Elena went to a special school with in-depth English, and after graduating from school she entered the Moscow State University at the Faculty of Journalism.

After graduating from Moscow State University, the journalist completed an internship at New York and Harvard universities. Soon, the girl decided that she wanted to get another higher education, and entered the psychotherapist at the University of New York.

After graduating from high school, the newspaper Moscow News became the first place of work for Hangi. Elena Hanga is one of the lucky few who was invited on an exchange to Boston in 1987, where she completed a three-month internship at the Christian Science Monitor newspaper. In 1989, the Foundation invited Elena Hanga to the United States, and the journalist, of course, agreed. There the girl went different countries and studied philanthropy. During these travels, Lena told the inhabitants of various continents about life in the USSR, about her family, about her roots.

It was then that she had the idea to write a book about her own family tree. To do this, she carefully studied her history, which began with Africa, America and England. In 1992, Hanga published a book she called The History of a Black Russian-American Family. 1865-1992". The book became a bestseller in many countries and was even translated into several languages.

In 2001, Elena Khanga published her second book, which she called "About everything and about it." The TV presenter dedicated it to her mother and Gennady Gerasimov, whom she calls her mentor since her work at Moscow News. In this book, Hanga talks about topics that affect the program "About it", she also wrote about herself and her family.

Elena Khanga is a member of the Public Council of the Russian Jewish Congress.

Journalism

The creative biography of Elena Hanga is no less interesting and amazing than her own family and pedigree. In the 1980s, Elena played for the World Team in KVN. And in 1989, after an internship in America, he invited Elena Hanga to an episodic role in the TV show "Vzglyad". Since the program was popular at the time, the girl did not go unnoticed. Soon she began to work with D. Zakharov, V. Listyev and, or, as she called them, with the "trinity of musketeers." Hanga called these years of work the most fun.

In 1993, she was invited to the NTV channel to work as a sports correspondent and report on the Olympics in Atlanta. The next proposal was in 1997 in new program"About this", which has become one of the highest rated on Russian television. At first, Elena Hanga refused, as it was a program on very frank and risky topics, but Parfenov convinced her that the program was doomed to success.

With the program “About this”, Lena’s television career began to take off: she entered the book of records, and The New York Times wrote about her. But three years later, the program "About it" was closed, as it had completely exhausted itself.

In 1998, Elena Khanga tried her hand at a new project. The girl became a co-host of Leonid Parfyonov in a trial pilot of the TV game “Russians in Fort Bayard”, an adaptation of the popular French TV game Fort Boyard, filmed with Russian participants. The pilot release consisted of three games that received warm reviews from viewers and critics, so the project was launched and ran until 2006 and experienced a revival attempt in 2013. But Elena Hanga hosted the show only until 2002, after Parfenov and Hanga were replaced and.

Soon Elena Hangu was expecting a new proposal. In 2001, she was invited to become the host of the Domino Principle program, which she hosted first with, and after with. The program, which talked about what surrounds us in this life, was quite successful.

She was born on May 1, and one might say, on Red Square. Father was invited to the podium during the festive parade, and he took his mother with him. She got so excited standing there that she went into labor.

Elena Hanga about diets

The family lived in Moscow, although my father often went to Tanzania. Once he left, he never returned. As it turned out later from the newspapers, there was a coup, as a result of which Elena's father went to prison, where he later died. The girl was raised by her mother and grandmother. The first one was always very active, she brought up Lena like that.

Grandmother, who emigrated from the USA to the USSR in the thirties, knew English perfectly. She spoke with little Lena in English so that her granddaughter would quickly master it. When she grew up, she began to study music. Later, her grandmother took her to Luzhniki, where figure skating training took place.

Hanga in school years seriously engaged in tennis, played for CSKA. She was coached by Anna Dmitrieva. Lena graduated from a special school, where she studied English in depth, and then entered Moscow State University and became a journalist.

The beginning of the career of journalist Elena Khanga
