They say that due to a conflict with the new producer, the presenter decided to leave the project and go to another channel.

Today in the media there was news that he is leaving the post of presenter. If this is so, then not just a presenter will leave Channel One, but an entire era, because Malakhov has been hosting this talk show (which has changed its name several times) since the early 2000s.

According to rumors that circulate in the journalistic community, the reason for this decision was the conflict between Andrei Malakhov and the new producer of the show, who had already worked on this project nine years ago.

“The channel returned to the program the producer, who had been working there nine years ago, hoping that it would help raise the program's plummeting ratings. But Malakhov no longer worked with her and demanded to return the previous colleague. Since the channel did not make concessions for a long time, the presenter began to declare that otherwise he would leave the channel, hence the rumors, ”a RBC source shared the details.

They say that Andrei Malakhov is going to leave for the channel, which is the main competitor of the First - Russia 1. He plans to broadcast a similar program, which also goes on prime time.

There is information that has not yet been confirmed by representatives of Channel One that two episodes of the Let the Talk program have been filmed without Andrei Malakhov, but the name of the new presenter is still unknown. According to the data, for this place "two men are considered."

So far, nothing has been reported about the work of Andrei Malakhov in other television projects on Channel One.

Finally, all the i's have been dotted - Andrei Malakhov has officially left Channel One. "I have always been subordinate. A soldier, executing orders. But I wanted independence. I looked at my colleagues: they became producers of their programs, they began to make decisions themselves. And suddenly an understanding came: life goes on, and you need to grow, go out of the tight framework." , - Malakhov explained in an interview with Woman`s Day.

ON THIS TOPIC

And in his address to the country's chief television doctor Elena Malysheva, published in StarHit, he was a little more specific: “We need to develop, you, as a producer of your own program, understand this better than others. male menopause, "not bad too."

Now for people far from the television kitchen, it is worth explaining what Malakhov had in mind. The fact is that Natalia Nikonova returned to Channel One as a producer. She returned and developed a stormy activity, taking over the reins of the program "Let the talk". Channel One employees reported that Nikonova's task was to "shake up the social and political block of broadcasts." These changes were not to the liking of the star TV presenter.

The changes, I must say, were started by revolutionary ones. Firstly, Andrei, as they say, was deprived of the opportunity to form an editorial plan for the "Let the Talk" program. He was assigned only the role of a presenter, to whom they write questions to the heroes and in whose ear monitor the director gives the commands "Let them fight", "Do not approach the heroine, let them scream", "Come to the experts in the audience." Malakhov was not satisfied with the function of the "talking head".

The second change concerns the subject matter of his program. If earlier in "Let They Speak" the social sphere was touched upon, then Nikonova decided to make a political talk show out of the program, which would talk about America, Syria, Ukraine and other countries supplying news. The new format has already been tested - the first issue of "Let Them Talk" with the new presenter was dedicated to Mikhail Saakashvili. Malakhov, of course, is not at all interested in politics.

Finally, competitors from "Russia" are said to have offered Andrey almost twice as much salary. And the "best host of the country", as Malakhov was introduced to the "Live" team, now needs money for diapers, rattles and strollers - at the end of the year he will become a dad.

The Ecuadorian authorities have stripped Julian Assange of asylum at the London embassy. The founder of WikiLeaks was detained by the British police, and it has already been called the biggest betrayal in the history of Ecuador. Why are Assange avenged and what awaits him?

Julian Assange, a programmer and journalist from Australia, became widely known after the website WikiLeaks, which he founded, published classified documents of the US State Department in 2010, as well as materials related to military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

But it was rather difficult to find out who the policemen, supporting by the arms, were taking out of the building. Assange dropped his beard and did not at all look like the energetic man, which he still appeared in the photographs.

According to Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno, Assange was denied asylum due to his repeated violations of international conventions.

He is expected to remain at a police station in central London until he appears at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Why is the President of Ecuador accused of treason

Former President of Ecuador Rafael Correa called the decision of the current government the biggest betrayal in the history of the country. "What he (Moreno. - Ed.) Did is a crime that humanity will never forget," said Correa.

London, on the other hand, thanked Moreno. The British Foreign Office believes that justice has been done. Representative of the Russian diplomatic department Maria Zakharova has a different opinion. “The hand of“ democracy ”squeezes the throat of freedom,” she said. The Kremlin expressed the hope that the rights of the arrested person would be respected.

Ecuador harbored Assange because the former president was center-left, criticized US policies, and welcomed WikiLeaks' publication of classified documents on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even before the internet activist needed asylum, he managed to get to know Correa personally: he interviewed him for the Russia Today channel.

However, in 2017, the power in Ecuador changed, the country headed for rapprochement with the United States. The new president called Assange "a stone in his boot" and immediately made it clear that his stay at the embassy would not be prolonged.

According to Correa, the moment of truth came at the end of June last year, when US Vice President Michael Pence arrived in Ecuador. Then everything was decided. “You can rest assured that Lenin is just a hypocrite. He has already agreed with the Americans about the fate of Assange. And now he is trying to make us swallow the pill, saying that Ecuador is allegedly continuing the dialogue,” Correa said in an interview with Russia Today.

How Assange made new enemies

The day before the arrest, WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristin Hrafnsson said that Assange was under surveillance. "WikiLeaks has uncovered a large-scale espionage operation against Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy," he said. According to him, cameras and voice recorders were placed around Assange, and the information received was transmitted to the Donald Trump administration.

Hrafnsson clarified that Assange was going to be expelled from the embassy a week earlier. This did not happen only because WikiLeaks released this information. A high-ranking source told the portal about the plans of the Ecuadorian authorities, but the head of the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry, Jose Valencia, denied the rumors.

The expulsion of Assange was preceded by a corruption scandal around Moreno. In February, WikiLeaks published the INA Papers, which traced the operations of the offshore company INA Investment, founded by the brother of the Ecuadorian leader. Quito said that this is Assange's conspiracy with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and former head of Ecuador Rafael Correa to overthrow Moreno.

In early April, Moreno complained about Assange's behavior in the London mission of Ecuador. “We must protect the life of Mr. Assange, but he has already crossed all boundaries in the sense of violating the agreement that we came to with him,” the president said. “This does not mean that he cannot speak freely, but he cannot lie and engage in hacking. ". At the same time, back in February last year, it became known that Assange was deprived of the opportunity to interact with the outside world at the embassy, ​​in particular, his access to the Internet was turned off.

Why Sweden stopped persecuting Assange

At the end of last year, Western media, citing sources, reported that Assange would be charged in the United States. This was never officially confirmed, but it was because of Washington's position that Assange had to take refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy six years ago.

Sweden, in May 2017, closed the investigation of two cases of rape, in which the founder of the portal was accused. Assange demanded from the government of the country compensation for legal costs in the amount of 900 thousand euros.

Earlier, in 2015, the Swedish prosecutor's office also dropped three charges against him due to the statute of limitations.

Where did the rape investigation lead?

Assange arrived in Sweden in the summer of 2010 hoping to get protection from the American authorities. But he came under investigation in the rape case. In November 2010, a warrant for his arrest was issued in Stockholm, Assange was put on the international wanted list. He was detained in London, but was soon released on bail of 240 thousand pounds.

In February 2011, a British court ruled to extradite Assange to Sweden, followed by a series of successful appeals for the founder of WikiLeaks.

The British authorities placed him under house arrest before deciding to extradite him to Sweden. Breaking his promise to the authorities, Assange asked for asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy, ​​which was granted to him. Since then, the UK has had its own claims against the founder of WikiLeaks.

What now awaits Assange

According to police, the man was re-arrested at the request of the United States for extradition for publishing classified documents. At the same time, Deputy Foreign Minister Alan Duncan said that Assange would not be sent to the United States if he faced the death penalty there.

In the UK, Assange is likely to stand trial on the afternoon of April 11. This is stated on the WikiLeaks Twitter page. Probably, the British authorities will seek a maximum sentence of 12 months, said the man's mother, citing his lawyer.

At the same time, the Swedish prosecutor's office is considering the possibility of reopening the investigation into the rape charge. The victim's lawyer, Elizabeth Massy Fritz, will work to do this.

This program most vividly demonstrates to us that it turns out that putting up for sale someone else's pain, tears, troubles, digging in dirty linen in front of the whole country without any moral right today is called a simple word “format”. Or rather, a format that brings good money. The degree of cynicism simply does not fit in my head .. What do you want ?! Of course, it will be in demand! Toilet paper, for example, will always be in greater demand than Dostoevsky's manuscripts! And stupid reality shows, in which the participants endlessly sort things out and sleep with everyone in a row, will a priori have a higher rating than Tarkovsky's film "

Alexey Serebryakov

For almost a day, the Internet has been boiling with reports that the country's main television channel, First, will soon be left without a face, or rather, without its most famous presenter, Andrei Malakhov. Since Malakhov goes to work at the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company - according to some sources, due to a conflict with the talk show team "Let them talk", according to others, because of the return to Channel One of Dmitry Shepelev, the ex-husband of the deceased singer Zhanna Friske, who allegedly took over Malakhov's studio

The first more or less intelligible and informative explanation appeared why Malakhov left Channel One after all.

The history of events on the part of one of the employees of Russia 1 (cannot be quoted directly, therefore, very briefly):

Malakhov is dragged to Russia 1 out of a sense of revenge.

Recently, the producer of Russia 1 Natalia Nikonova left for Channel One.

And so, she developed a vigorous activity, decided to lead the Malakhov program, in parallel offering the management ideas for new projects, including the recently launched show by Dmitry Shepelev.

And Malakhov did not like it.

He has been conducting Let Them Talk for many years and believes that he does not need a boss. And for Rossiya 1, his candidacy is very beneficial: Let Them Talk's ratings have always been higher than those of Live. And who will miss the opportunity to beautifully wipe their nose both Nikonova and Channel One in general. And it just so happened that he was offered more favorable terms.

Natalya Nikonova, twice TEFI-2007 laureate, was the head of the Special Projects Studio of Channel One, without any irony the founding mother of the genre of Russian talk shows for housewives.

At one time it was Nikonova who launched the show of Andrey Malakhov "Let them talk", "Malakhov +", "Lolita. Without complexes", "Judge for yourself" and others.

Judging by the leaked information, Natalia Nikonova left Russia 1 after a financial audit.

Alexander MITROSHENKOV, President of Transcontinental Media Company, which includes Novaya Kompaniya, the producer of this program, discovered financial irregularities. As it turned out, presenter Dmitry SHEPELEV was paid a salary for six months, but he never aired. When they were looking for a replacement for Boris Korchevnikov, Shepelev was proposed, as we all remember.

Shepelev never went on the air on Rossiya 1, the talk show was still hosted by Korchevnikov, but for more than six months Dmitry received money for nothing.

When the results of the financial audit were reported to Mitroshenkov, he invited the heads of "Live" Nikonova and Petritskaya to resign.

Natalia Nikonova and Marina Petritskaya at one time came to "Live" from Channel One.

They directed the show for several years: they decided creative and financial issues, which topics to broadcast, which of the participants to pay how much.

These are the passions that are happening on our television.

What Malakhov can bargain about, reports the Methodichka telegram channel: “The real reason for Malakhov's departure to VGTRK is that for several years he asked Ernst to allow him to produce his own programs. But Konstantin Lvovich sent him to the train station ... motivating the refusal by the fact that “I made you a TV star - you’ll earn your money on corporate events”.

Well, and a completely fantastic version, however, which has a right to exist, that no withdrawal was planned, and all the noise was created deliberately in order to whip up ratings in the summer low season. Not in favor of the version is the fact that Channel One has not yet played such dirty games.

With the departure of Malakhov, the First would have lost a lot. Malakhov is the channel's key media person, the goose that lays the golden eggs in the rating, with all the immoral distortions of his talk show - the best in its genre. Dmitry Shepelev, who, although younger, is also quite a professional, as they say, has lower charisma. Pug against an elephant.

The aesthetics of the scandalous shows promoted by producer Natalya Nikonova are somewhat traditional: endless Alexey Panin, DNA tests, a production sewn with white threads, etc., without unnecessary reflection.

At the same time, in recent years, Malakhov, despite the fact that he works in an identical manner, pulls on publicistic generalizations and monologues full of morality. Probably a conflict, if only there was one, and in fact originated somewhere here. They tried to clip the wings and put him in a cage for the artist, claiming to be a demiurge; the leadership did not listen and ... The drama came out quite in line with the talk show "Let them talk."

Don't switch.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

Work on Channel One proceeded as usual: smoothly and harmoniously, and there was no information that Malakhov was leaving for another job because of some kind of conflict. A few days later, Andrei Malakhov put forward a refutation of this rumor, telling in a short interview about why he is not going to go anywhere and continues to work on Channel One as usual. That the channel is undergoing technical work and some changes, due to which his project temporarily stopped appearing on television screens.

At the same time, the TV presenter with Tina Kandelaki pranked the audience, spreading the rumor that Malakhov was going to become one of the commentators of the Match-TV channel. The result of a joint effort and a couple of comments under the clumsy edited photo was waves of indignation from the fans and the expectation of the "worst".

What really happened

In October 2017, the news that Malakhov was still leaving Channel One, replacing it with Russia-1, was confirmed by both the TV presenter and his employers. The audience received the answer to their questions quite recently. The ambitious presenter, who had 25 years of experience, was prompted to change the place of work by an interesting proposal to become a participant in a new project. He will now be the face of the game show The Wall.

The unique program will reveal the destinies of brilliant and ambitious people who, unable to earn big money, are building the future of their beloved country. Their stories will reveal the background of events in which little people doing small things improve the quality of our lives. It was such an interesting program that caused the change of place of work.

Andrey Malakhov's opinion

In the modern world, there are no longer such barbaric methods as poaching famous stars of TV shows and programs with the help of promises of higher fees and increased bonuses. Ambitious presenters with big names independently choose the place where they are comfortable working. That is why it is impossible to say that Malakhov, having decided to leave, encroached on a financially more profitable offer than on Channel One.

He just got tired of acting in the usual and already annoying role of a TV presenter, who acts in the same type of programs and talk shows. Therefore, the offer to participate in a new project in which he can develop as a person and explore what is really interesting to him became the main criterion in choosing a new place of work.

In recent years, Malakhov regarded his work in the Let the Speak project as a tender in which the one who pays the most wins. To take a scandalous, shocking interview, he had to persuade people to take part in this show, deliberately pulling into the thick of not always pleasant events. He had to bribe celebrities in various ways, which Malakhov did not like at all, because his character does not allow him to overstep certain principles. But the show regularly demanded to make deals with oneself.

Now Andrei Malakhov does not need to sacrifice his precious time and go against his moral principles in order to create a unique and amazing show. It is enough for him to tell the truth, talking about people who, with their discoveries and inventions, make the world a better place, embodying their innermost dreams in it.

Friends support

Quite often it happens that a TV presenter who runs his project on one channel takes with him all the developments and the command staff. Malakhov, choosing the show "The Wall", did the same. But convincing others of the correctness of the decision was not as easy as it seemed initially. After all, his team is used to working at a certain, measured pace and mode in the program "Let them talk." Not all employees wanted to change their place of work and, accordingly, life. Innovations and changes are not to everyone's liking and not always.
