Sovereign democracy - this political science term appeared in 2005. Now it is practically not used. Why do we remember him? Because it will visually help us understand the essence of the contradictions of today's external and domestic policy Russia.
So let's take a look at the term itself. It consists of two parts, and if there are no questions in general with the word “sovereign”, then the concept of “democracy” needs to be dealt with in more detail. Sovereignty is an opportunity for the state to carry out actions solely in its own interests, without looking back and coordinating them with other centers of power. In today's world, only the United States and Great Britain have complete sovereignty in this sense. Europe does not have sovereignty. The sovereignty of Russia and China is not complete - they can carry out actions in their own interests, but without looking back at the United States, it is still difficult for them to do this. The USSR had full sovereignty, with the destruction of which full state sovereignty became a very scarce commodity not only in the post-Soviet space, but in the whole world.
Yeltsin's Russia had no sovereignty at all. It was partial—or rather, fragmented. Under Yeltsin, a civil war broke out in the Caucasus, for which Yeltsin's Moscow did even more than Duduaev's Grozny did to kindle it. At that time, all the achievements of Soviet diplomacy were surrendered and transferred to the West, starting from the deployment of our troops in the center of Europe on the territory of a number of countries, up to Germany and ending with friendly relations with South Africa, Cuba and Afghanistan. The country's economy was opened to "Western investors", under the dictation of "advisers" from the United States (CIA) the infamous loans-for-shares auctions were held, under the guise of which the country was plundered by entire industries. Obviously, such actions did not coincide with the interests of the country.
And with all this, Yeltsin's Russia was considered ... a democracy. The West never questioned democracy under Yeltsin, starting to do so already under Putin. Therefore, it's time to deal with this very broadly interpreted term. What is "democracy"? The classical definition, about the power of the people, about equal participation, we will put aside. What is democracy in today's albeit not directly declared, but in the world "understood" sense?
Democracy in the early twentieth I century - this is a political system in which the appointment of leaders is carried out according to a certain elective procedure, while the results of the activities of the "created", thus, the authorities of the country suit the United States and its closest satellites.
Russia was a democracy under Yeltsin, not so much because the elections were held and they were "fair", but because the outcome of the rule of that government was quite satisfactory to the West. Starting from the sale of national wealth, agreement in everything and with everything that Washington did in its foreign policy, and up to the unleashing of a civil war within Russia. At the same time, the States have always been ready to turn a blind eye to the purity of the electoral process and never to the independent, sovereign actions of the Russian government. Are you firing tanks at Parliament? So what. Democracy is. After all, democrats are shooting at non-democrats, which means that this is the “triumph of democracy”. But in Russia, then privatization, impoverishment, and then real hostilities begin. That is why the West reacted and is still reacting harshly to actions that the Kremlin is not carrying out in the interests of the United States. The Americans do not care about electoral procedures, when they need them, they will consider firing from tanks a democracy, and they can hold elections in three rounds, as in Ukraine. The result is important for them - their puppets are in power, obedient and controlled. Therefore, democracy in Ukraine, although the Constitution of the country was clearly violated and a coup d'état was carried out.
Now let's get back to the term we are discussing - sovereign democracy. In essence, this means that in a sovereign democracy, procedures for the election of power take place, which are evaluated by the West. But the assessment of these processes and the state itself is given not at all from the point of view of compliance with a certain “ideal”, but from the point of view of following the chosen government in the wake of US policy. Follow - you are democrats, do not follow, then you are a "bloody regime" and a totalitarian country. Remember the term is about the same age as "sovereign democracy" - "outcast country". It was then used in the direction of North Korea, Iran and ... Russia. Where is this term now? Why can't he be heard? Although in the US sanctions Russia stands next to Tehran and Pyongyang. Simply because for the Western layman they came up with new "horror stories", new terms, new concepts. And the old concept is simply ... forgotten.
Now let's try to draw some conclusions. They are obvious.
- It is simply impossible to please the States when conducting a truly sovereign policy. There will always be something wrong. It will not be in reality, “they will finish it in Photoshop”, they will invent it. They will take existing problems and blow them to the skies. Therefore, you should not even try to please them - useless work.
- Since trying to "make friends" and "like" is completely pointless, you need to focus on completely different things. Not on "democracy", but on sovereignty. We need to start pursuing a sovereign policy in all possible areas, paying little attention to the tantrums and cries of the West.
- Democracy is the country that actively buys American debt. But by doing so, it is impossible to hope to win the competition, because, in fact, we ourselves, along with other countries, pay for all the twists and turns of American foreign policy. The United States is transporting more expensive liquefied natural gas to Europe. It seems to be a clean economy - the Europeans will not buy it. And if the difference, different subsidies are through cunning schemes, are issued in debt securities of the EU countries and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation buys these bonds, it will turn out that we ourselves will help the Americans.
- Our slogan for the near future should be this: more sovereignty, less democracy (according to the American model!). Actions within the country, abroad are exclusively in our interests. Stop pleasing and agree with Washington from the position of "we are also Democrats." At the same time, the policy of the Russian state should in fact be extremely democratic, which in practice means actions that are supported by the vast majority of the country's population.
- The world situation is already developing in such a way that an attempt to continue to be a “sovereign democracy” is no longer possible for us. We have to choose - either sovereignty and real politics in the interests of the people, which in practice means the rejection of liberal dogmas in the economy, or the imaginary "democracy" in the American and pro-American style, the rejection of sovereignty, which in the future will bring death and destruction for us.
It turns out that we have no choice. Nobody sees us as equals. No one is going to share with us the standard of living, but on the contrary, they are not averse to profiting from our wealth in order to maintain it at home.
Therefore, long live sovereign Russia!
And let her enemies perish!
Ah, what were the times! Transfer " morning Star”,“ Love at first sight ”,“ Morning mail ”,“ Me and my dog ”...

"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."

If the players open the red screen, the turn passes to the other team.
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. He was led by the charming Dmitry Nagiev 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, the new CEO of the STS channel, Alexander Rodnyansky, decided to close Okna. 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 still believed that these were real people who dared to come to the program in order 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 TEFI national television award in the Talk Show Host nomination.
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 problems under the guidance of Yulia Menshova, the 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
The last issue of "Women's Look ..." was 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
Famous people came to the studio to Arina and talked on various, sometimes very personal topics. For example, on one of the talk show broadcasts there was Lyudmila Gurchenko, who spoke about a terrible illness that she suffered in 1996. 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
One more intellectual show 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 leader of the project. 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 characters and real stories. In each issue, 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 Hange 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 viewer interest, and after the 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?

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!" The then third-year students of the Shchukin School, Nonna Grishaeva and Maria Aronova, began their careers.

Childhood and family of Elena Hanga
Lena was born in Moscow. Her father proposed to her mother before he was to become Prime Minister of Zanzibar. For this, he specially came from his country. Elena's mother was born in the city of Tashkent. Her mother was Polish Jewish and her father was African American. What nationality Hangi has, even she will definitely not be able to answer.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, perfectly knew English language. 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
Hangi's first job was the Moscow News newspaper. It was Lena who became a journalist who was exchanged for three months at the Christian Science Monitor newspaper in Boston on an exchange basis.In 1989, Hanga received an invitation from the Rockefeller Foundation to study philanthropy. Elena traveled all over America and not only.
Often during meetings, an unusual journalist talked about life in the USSR and about all her relatives living in many countries of the world. It was in those years that she had the idea to write a book where her roots would be told in detail, her family tree would be explored. To trace historical roots family, she settled in the archives, flew to Africa and England. The book was published in the USA in 1992. In America, it immediately became a bestseller.
Elena Hanga's work on television
Soon Elena was invited by Vladislav Listyev to television. Despite the fact that the hit was episodic, it turned out to be noticeable, since Hanga appeared in the Vzglyad telecast, which was popular among the population. There she met Leonid Parfenov. Soon Elena began to work together with the so-called "trinity of musketeers", as she herself put it. These were Listyev, Lyubimov and Zakharov. Hanga considers the years of cooperation with them very happy. It was really interesting to work. Going live, they could control the minds of the viewers. Then it seemed that the program was breaking the ground, although today Elena says that they didn’t actually say anything seditious.Elena Khanga - Stars and mysticism - Star life
In 1993, the NTV channel invited Elena to make a series of short sports reports about the Olympics, which were held in Atlanta. There she again met with her favorite tennis coach Anna Dmitrieva. This work was done successfully by the journalist.
Elena Khanga and the program "About it"
In 1997, Khanga was invited by Leonid Parfyonov to become the host of the program “About this”, which was broadcast by the NTV channel until 2000. At the time when she was offered to be a presenter, Hanga was already studying at the University of the City of New York as a psychotherapist. Working at NTV, Elena continued to live in America, arriving only to record programs.Together with Parfyonov as a co-host, Elena hosted three pilot episodes of a TV game called "Russians in Fort Boyard".
In 2001, the journalist and TV presenter published a second book. She called it "About everything and about it." The author dedicated it to her mother and Gennady Gerasimov, whom she considers her mentor since she worked under him at Moscow News. The book contains a lot of discussions about the topics that the program “About This” touched on, as well as discussions about her and her family.
Elena Khanga and the Domino Principle program
At the end of 2001, Hange was again offered to become the host of the TV show, this time it was called "The Domino Principle". There were supposed to be two co-hosts. First, Elena appeared before the audience along with Elena Ishcheeva, Elena Starostina became the second co-host, and then Dana Borisova. The subject of the program was about life and everything that surrounds us in this life.Elena Hanga today
Since 2009, Elena has become the host of Cross Talk. This is a talk show that airs weekly on the English-language TV channel Russia Today. Hanga collaborates with Radio Komsomolskaya Pravda. She is the host of the program "In Search of Truth". Since 2011, she has also hosted the TV show “With a remote control for life”, which is broadcast by the KP-TV channel.Personal life of Elena Hanga
Elena got married in 2001. Her husband was a man with whom she had known for a long time - this is Igor Mintusov. The wedding took place in January 2001 in Los Angeles, where most of the close relatives of the TV presenter live. In October of the same year, a daughter appeared in the family. Gave her double name Elizabeth Anna.Elena Khanga about the new TV project "Crosstalk"
Elena's husband loves to travel, but does not want to live somewhere other than Russia. Because of this, the family permanently resides in Moscow. Igor's mother was of great help in raising her daughter, especially when the girl was very young. Thanks to the help of the mother-in-law, it became possible for Hangi to go to work at the end of 2001.
Hanga also tried herself as an actress. The first steps were taken in childhood. In 1970, she starred as an extra in the film "Black Sun", in 1981, Lena appeared in the film "The Invisible Man". Two years later, the film "New Tales of Scheherazade" was released. Already in 2005, Elena played a small role in the television series Balzac Age, and she also starred in another television series in 2006.
The struggle of TV channels for daytime viewers, which began last year, continues. In defiance of the "Big Wash" on ORT and "What a Woman Wants" on RTR NTV, the "Domino Principle" was born. The stakes were high, because its predecessor - the talk show "Prosto Marina" - turned out to be a failure. The host of the program, Marina Yudenich, became seriously ill, and her husband said: “That's enough, sit at home and write books.” For a new daytime show, a young mother, Elena Hanga, was called from America, and Elena Ishcheeva, who has not been promoted so far, was chosen as a couple.
Elena Khanga: "I was offered a job during childbirth"
Elena, why did they close the program "About it"?
In my opinion, now everyone is talking about love and sex, including programs that have absolutely nothing to do with these topics. We were pioneers, but now the niche is filled.
What did you do after you disappeared from the air?
I filmed the program "New Babylon" for "NTV-International", which was watched only in America. And after that she was pregnant and was exclusively engaged in raising her daughter. I lived in Moscow, but regularly flew to America to see my doctor. She also traveled a lot with her husband. Pregnancy passed somehow quickly and imperceptibly.
How was the birth?
I am ready to give birth again, again and again. It didn't hurt at all, I even felt physical satisfaction. The doctor asked me to give birth in 30 minutes, because she had to go somewhere, and I told her: "No, it won't work, the first birth lasts 2-3 hours." We bet on champagne and I lost. By the way, it was during childbirth that I was offered to participate in a new talk show. Quite by accident I left mobile phone in the delivery room, and I got a call from NTV. I agreed, not really understanding what I was getting into. I had never worked daily live and did not know that it was so difficult. I want to sleep all the time (I usually communicate with my daughter at night), but the work is reckless, interesting, and I don’t regret at all that I didn’t stay at home.
Elena, what is the domino principle?
If you set up a domino with a house and push the bottom part, everything will collapse. So in life everything is interconnected: here they pushed, there they fell. But other Lena will tell you about the program, I have to run to feed my daughter.
Elena Ishcheeva: "We will not have "setups""
Co-host of Hangi Elena Ischeeva came to NTV from ORT. She graduated from the faculty of journalism and, having no patronage, called the television and asked: "Do you need a journalist?" It turned out to be needed. She made several stories in "Good Morning", shot a 15-episode report about Japan "Letters at Dawn", and then became the host of "Good Day".
After Good Morning, no offers came to me, I lay on the couch in woolen socks, watched TV and said goodbye to my career. I already talked with my husband about the possibility of becoming a housewife. It was at this moment that Sergei Shumakov called me, who headed our editorial office at ORT, and then left for NTV. The program, which is being prepared on television for at least six months, we made in two weeks. Our competitors openly told me: "You will fail." I had nothing to lose.
Can you do without the fake heroes that Malakhov successfully uses in the "Big Wash"?
Of course, it is very difficult to find a hitherto unknown hero with a unique fate. We cannot avoid repetitions, but I think there will be no "setting up". This is not even discussed in the team. Today I am not very satisfied with the program - we did not involve the audience very much. Sometimes they give out such pearls that you lie down and cannot get up. No matter how the director builds the show, a person is interesting for his unpredictability...
20 years ago their names were known to millions of viewers, their faces appeared on TV screens almost every day.
In the 2000s a new era of television began, and many of them changed their profession. Someone went into business, someone went into politics, some still remain on TV. How did the fate of the famous hosts of the programs "MuzOboz", "Love at first sight", "About it", "My family", "Both-on!" and others - further in the review. 
Permanent host *MuzOboza* Ivan Demidov 
TV presenter, politician Ivan Demidov
The musical program "MuzOboz" ("Musical Review") was one of the most popular in the 1990s. She owed her success in many respects to the charismatic presenter - Ivan Demidov. He began his television career as an administrator for What? Where? When? ”,“ Come on, girls ”, etc., then worked as an assistant director at Vzglyad and the director of the ViD television company, and real popularity came to him after the launch of the MuzOboz program. Surely, many today remember the phlegmatic TV presenter in the same black glasses, who appeared in this way from 1991 to 1998.
