One of the longest-term projects on Channel One is the program "Wait for me". Over the years of its existence, several leaders have changed. Despite this, the program has not lost its popularity.

What is the show about

With the help of the project, people who have disappeared for a long time are searched for, and even law enforcement agencies cannot find them. Children meet after many years with their parents, there are close relatives and good friends.

Stories are amazing when people do not see each other for decades and meet here. It is difficult to find another program in which so many positive emotions would be concentrated.

The popularity of the project is also determined by the quality work of the employees. Who hosts the program "Wait for me"? Over the years, the "face" of the program has changed several times. But each time they were chosen exactly for the concept of the project.

The first hosts of the program "Wait for me"

In 1998, the program was shown on the RTR channel. The hosts were Oksana Naychuk and Igor Kvasha. Then the broadcast continued on Channel One, and to famous actor Maria Shukshina joined.

For many years they lived together the history of each guest. The audience could not imagine that the program would be hosted by someone else. and Igor Kvasha became the standard of the project.

In 2005, the actress leaves for maternity leave and gives birth to the twins Foma and Fok. She understands that she needs time for the kids to grow up, and she cannot immediately go to work. Who is broadcasting "Wait for me" at this time?

Until March 2006, she replaced Maria Chulpan Khamatova. In the same period, Igor Kvasha could not work for several months, and Alexander Domogarov took his place. The actor admitted that it is very difficult morally to conduct a program of this format, he takes off his hat to the non-replaceable presenters.

in "Wait for me"

This legendary actor lived a difficult life, which is why he took every story of the hero of the program so close to his heart. Igor Vladimirovich was born in 1933 in a family of intellectuals. His father was a researcher, and his mother was a teacher of the deaf.

The childhood of the actor fell on the war years. He remembered well how much grief the Second World War brought to the family. His father died in the war. Therefore, he was especially reverent in the transmission of stories related to that terrible period.

From 1956 to 2005 he played at the Sovremennik Theatre. Igor Vladimirovich still managed to work on the radio and starred in films. Also, the actor actively participated in their dubbing. In total, more than 70 films were released in which you can see this actor.

Left the project "Wait for me" Kvasha just a few months before his death. The legendary actor died on August 30, 2012 at the age of 80. He suffered from a lung disease for a long time.

Maria Shukshina

For many years, the moral and physical strength of this work on the project. She was worried about each participant in the program, often on the air you could see tears on her face.

The actress was born in the family of the famous director Vasily Shukshin and Lydia Fedoseyeva-Shukshina. Already at the age of one and a half years, the girl first participated in the filming of the film. Therefore, apart from acting, I could not imagine any other career, although I learned to be a translator.

She has acted in more than 40 films and played a large number of roles in the theater. Maria Shukshina devoted about 15 years to the program "Wait for me" and left the project in 2014. She admitted that she was morally exhausted and decided to redirect her energies to filming films, devote herself more to her family and her recently born grandson.

Who else ran the program?

Throughout the broadcast of the program on Channel One, several presenters have changed for various reasons. Often Igor Vladimirovich Kvasha could not participate in the filming for health reasons. Maria went on maternity leave.

In one of these periods, Kvasha was replaced by Mikhail Efremov. Then, until 2012, he worked alternately with Igor Vladimirovich. After the death of the main presenter, Efremov stayed in the project for another 2 years and left. An actor took his place.

Who is broadcasting "Wait for me" after the departure of Maria Shukshina? She was replaced by Ksenia Alferova in the project. Together with Galibin, they worked until August 2017. Then, unfortunately, Channel One did not renew the contract with the project, and the broadcast of the program was stopped.

A nationwide program ... very, very sorry”, “How can such a program be removed? The whole world looks, hopes, believes, prays to this program," the distressed viewers write.

Why exactly "Wait for me"?" - her fans comment on the news about the closure of the program on Channel One.

As the site wrote, the contract of Channel One with the TV company "VID" for the production of the program "Wait for me" has expired. However, a new contract for the release of the program will not be signed, since the First and "VID" could not agree on the candidacy of the presenter. The new team, which was recruited by the TV company after the dismissal of the creator of the program, Sergei Kushnerev, quarreled with the presenter Alexander Galibin and fired him. At the same time, no one informed the channel about this. In turn, the First, who was completely satisfied with the host, tried to return it, but "VID" refused to do so. Ultimately, the parties did not agree in the negotiations.

“The program“ Wait for me ”will no longer be aired on Channel One. NTV will become its new home,” Lyubimov wrote. Over the years of the release of the program, according to him, it was possible to find more than 200 thousand people. Studios "Wait for me" worked in Yerevan, Chisinau, Minsk, Astana, Kyiv. Special issues for Ukraine and Kazakhstan continue to be aired even now, Lyubimov noted.

In his opinion, the reason for Channel One's refusal to broadcast is that its priorities "have noticeably shifted towards entertainment programs."

As reported on September 14, Channel One once again extended the contract with the VID television company for the production of the Field of Miracles program, but refused to continue cooperation with the Wait for Me program. According to RBC's source, the reason for the non-renewal of the contract was "the personnel policy of the new program team." "They (the new team" Wait for me ") fired Alexander Galibin, the host of the program, without agreement with Channel One. And on this moment the manufacturer did not present a candidate for a host that would suit Channel One," the source explained.
