Forbidden topic. Why was Malakhov fired from Channel One?
Conversations about the departure of TV presenter Andrei Malakhov from Channel One actually proved one thing: it is too early to discount television as a factor determining public opinion. A simple replacement of a popular presenter, his transition from one channel to another can cause something close to panic in society and the media. What happened, why did Andrei Malakhov suddenly decide to leave Channel One? There are so many rumors and speculations about this matter that we decided to look into it.
I do not rule out that the “trigger” of Andrei Malakhov’s conflict with management was some careless word, a hint, or simply a tough conversation. This happens in a creative team. Colleagues from the “Let Them Talk” team with whom I had the opportunity to talk confirm: “Yes, there is a conflict. But the details are known only “at the top.” Perhaps they want to lure Andrey with money to another channel or there is a human factor at work. There are only two options. Either everything is resolved peacefully and Malakhov remains, or he switches to another channel - most likely to “Russia”. Several people from his team, who once started the “Big Laundry” with him, have already moved there.
The new producer put an end to Malakhov’s plans
It all started with the fact that Konstantin Ernst appointed a new producer of the talk show “Let Them Talk” - Natalya Nikonova. Nikonova is a famous person on TV. Twice winner of the national TEFI award, founder of the programs “Let them talk”, “Lolita without complexes”, “Malakhov+”, “Judge for yourself”. In general, a kind of “godmother” show for Russian housewives. Recently, she produced the show “Live” with Boris Korchevnikov on “Russia-1”. However, sources at VGTRK confidentially reported that Nikonova may have left “at the behest of a pike” after a financial audit. The violations were allegedly discovered by Alexander Mitroshenkov, president of the Transcontinental Media Company, which includes the New Company, the producer of Live Broadcast. Allegedly, Nikonova for a long time accrued the salary of her protégé, Dmitry Shepelev, who in fact did not go on air. If so, what serious ideas could Nikonova offer to the leadership of First in order to be taken to a leadership position after such a scandal?
It is no secret that Malakhov for a long time asked Ernst for the opportunity to produce his own programs. Indeed, at the age of 45, running around the hall with a microphone and cutting your hair “like a boy” is somehow no longer respectable. But Ernst stubbornly did not meet the “face of the channel”, and the arrival of Natalya Nikonova on “First” finally put an end to Malakhov’s plans to produce the program on his own. One of the editors of First commented on the situation: “The channel returned to the program the producer who worked there nine years ago, hoping that she would help raise the program’s severely fallen ratings. But Malakhov did not work well with her and demanded the return of his previous colleague. Since the channel did not make concessions for a long time, the presenter began to declare that otherwise he would leave.”
And indeed: back in 2013, the rating of the Malakhov talk show was 9%, it was ahead of the program “Voice”, “Time”, “Let’s Get Married”, “Vesti” and “Ice Age”. However, recently “Let Them Talk” has been heavily criticized for the monotony of topics and some kind of morbid interest in finding out the authenticity of the paternity and motherhood of other people’s children (evil tongues even dubbed “Let Them Talk” a “branch of the DNA laboratory”). Ratings decreased accordingly - for example, in April they were only 6.2%.
Politics for housewives?
I have never been to the “Let Them Talk” program, despite the annoying invitations of the editors. The fact is that I know the technology of this project too well. Once there, the unfortunate “invitees” fall into a trap. An accompanying person is required to leave the studio. The invitee, who has undergone “psychological treatment” by the editors, is sent to share his misfortune under the camera lenses and can no longer leave the studio. And so that the hero would not find out that his illegitimate children, neighbors and colleagues were called to the show, they were escorted through other entrances. The effect of surprise turned out to be very strong, but not always pleasant and, you see, correct. Now the program will be filmed in a former factory workshop on Liza Chaikina Street. In the so-called “Teledom” there will be fewer “set-ups”. They say that Andrei Malakhov was categorically against moving the studio, and this became one of the reasons for the conflict.
However, there is another reason, which is talked about in whispers on the sidelines of television, but is widely discussed on social networks by people close to political structures. For example, political scientist Stanislav Belkovsky writes on his Facebook: “It is absolutely obvious that I should host the “Let Them Talk” program instead of Malakhov. In turn, I am ready to give up my places to Andrei Nikolaevich in the Direct Line and Panopticon programs on OTK Dozhd. This is a subtle hint that the show for housewives "Let Them Talk" will now, if rumors are to be believed, give preference to politics. However, according to our information, Andrei Malakhov spoke out categorically against this, using harsh expressions in relation to a person about whom the host of the country’s main channel clearly should not have spoken. But, as you know, “he who lives in a glass house should not throw stones.” This proverb is very popular on TV, where any careless word can cost a person his career. By the way, the fact that “Let Them Talk” is going to be politicized is indirectly confirmed by another fact: Andrei Borisov, the news editor’s “News” presenter, was tried for the role of the new leading project. However, according to reviews, it left a weak impression. As for Malakhov, then, again, according to rumors, his careless words cost him not only his work in “Let Them Talk” - it is even stated that he will allegedly no longer be on the screen at all.
There are other points of view on the situation. Malakhov’s colleagues, for example, express the version that, they say, the presenter “got starstruck” - 25 years of television fame “blew the roof off.” Maybe. But all these are accompanying circumstances, as well as Andrei Malakhov’s declared desire to go on maternity leave (his wife Natalya Shkuleva is in the last months of pregnancy). Something else is alarming. As it became known, at the same time as darling Malakhov, handsome Alexander Oleshko, the host of “Minute of Glory” and “Just the Same,” was fired from “First.” No matter how we treated these people, they were the “faces of the channel.” The conclusion suggests itself: “First” is weakening its position against the background of VGTRK. Is this a coincidence? In professional circles, it is not ruled out that the transition to the “second button” of strong personnel is only the beginning of Konstantin Ernst losing ground. Whether VGTRK "First" will be absorbed or not - this issue is now being discussed in the television environment with might and main. On the eve of the elections, as we know, anything is possible.
The scandal on Channel One has led to the fact that Andrei Malakhov’s fans read the latest news about him every day to keep abreast of events. After being fired and moving to another channel and a new program, many events happened in the life of the TV presenter.

Other stars of Russian show business were also invited to the broadcast.
The transfer lasted 1.5 hours. During this time, the TV presenters managed to discuss their first meeting, the most difficult topics they had to work with, and issues of their personal lives. Excerpts from Boris Korchevnikov’s first works on television were shown.

After the change of host, the “Live Broadcast” program became less popular. They began to watch it much less often. Critics have not yet commented on what this is connected with. The first episode of the talk show collected only 5.4% of the rating, the next day - 3.9% and the next day 2.3%.

Among the latest news about him: in 2018, Andrei Malakhov was invited to become the host of the New Wave competition. His last appearance as a host was in 2004, so fans were waiting for his return. When Andrei appeared on stage, they brought him a huge cake. At the end of the evening, a large number of people came to the stage to give him flowers. This touched Malakhov, because usually bouquets are given to famous stars, not presenters.
At the end of the evening, Andrey gave a short interview to reporters. The journalists thanked him not only for giving answers to their questions, but also for the fact that by leaving Channel One he gave us the opportunity to earn money. Only the lazy did not write articles and notes about the scandal between the leading and the main channel of the country.
Photo at “New Wave”, 2018 In a video interview, Andrei Malakhov admitted to journalists that he had not read the latest news about him and Channel One. Occasionally, colleagues and friends told him information he had read on the Internet and newspapers. However, he abstracted himself from all rumors and gossip in order to maintain his mental health. The presenter said that he did not even watch the program dedicated to his departure. He denied the rumor that he left to work for another channel because of the big money. “Money is an important, but not the decisive factor in work,” Andrey answered to all those who were so interested in this question.
Malakhov spent only one day at the New Wave. The next day he left for Moscow to supervise preparations for the release of “Live Broadcast”. He is not only the host of this project, but also a producer, moderator and financially responsible person.
The presenter dedicated one of the subsequent episodes of “Live Broadcast” to the “New Wave” competition. He invited young and already famous stars of Russian show business to the program. The showman called Nikolai Baskov for revelations, who told the audience about his personal life and relationship with Victoria Lopyreva.

Natalya chose a spacious outfit, but the audience still understood that the woman was expecting a child. Natalya and Andrey are hiding the sex of their unborn baby, but most fans believe that the couple will have a girl. The baby, who is about to be born, will be the first grandchild for both Malakhov’s parents and Shkuleva’s parents.
Previously, star numerologist Klara Kuzdenbaeva predicted that Natalia and Andrey’s first child would be born in 2015. However, this did not happen. Clara was immediately bombarded with accusations that her predictions were not coming true. Later, the showman admitted that in 2015 his wife was indeed pregnant, but had a miscarriage. Having met the presenter at one of the social events, Clara reassured him and said that she and Natasha had everything ahead. There will definitely be a child. And so it happened.
Malakhov spoke about his touching relationship with his wife
The showman told reporters that he and his wife Natalya Shkuleva have a very warm relationship. Natasha tries to be with her husband as often as possible. If this is physically impossible, she supports Andrey virtually and remotely. The TV presenter regularly receives messages from his wife. This is very important for him, he appreciates it. Especially when difficult changes have occurred in the showman’s life. The wife remains a reliable support for the leader.

In the summer, information appeared in the media that the singer, famous in the 90s, was suffering from alcoholism. But he doesn’t even want to hear about help. Evgeniy has locked himself in the apartment and won’t let anyone in.
Dana Borisova and Andrey Malakhov decided to come to the rescue. The young people managed to convince Evgeniy to open the door and accept help. They provided him with moral support and helped him contact people who were ready to bring his physical and mental condition back to normal.
Evgeny Osin had a hard time being separated from his wife, so he became addicted to alcohol. In addition, the former youth idol did not have a permanent job. He did odd jobs. The musician did not admit to being an alcoholic. He only asked his family and friends to give him money for surgery on his legs. Alcohol abuse led to the artist being unable to move independently.
Andrei Malakhov is a famous person, so fans are eagerly awaiting the latest news about him and his life with photos. Especially today, when such changes have occurred to him. The main thing is that in pursuit of “hot news,” journalists do not forget that their favorite TV presenter is, first of all, a person.
Ecuadorian authorities have denied Julian Assange asylum at the London embassy. The founder of WikiLeaks was detained by British police, and this has already been called the biggest betrayal in the history of Ecuador. Why are they taking revenge on Assange and what awaits him?
Australian programmer and journalist Julian Assange became widely known after the website WikiLeaks, which he founded, published secret documents from the US State Department in 2010, as well as materials related to military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But it was quite difficult to find out who the police, supporting by the arms, were leading out of the building. Assange had grown a beard and looked nothing like the energetic man he had previously appeared in photographs.
According to Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno, Assange was denied asylum due to his repeated violations of international conventions.
He is expected to remain in custody at a central London police station until he appears at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Why is the President of Ecuador accused of treason?
Former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa called the current government's decision the biggest betrayal in the country's history. “What he (Moreno - editor’s note) did is a crime that humanity will never forget,” Correa said.
London, on the contrary, thanked Moreno. The British Foreign Office believes that justice has triumphed. The representative of the Russian diplomatic department, Maria Zakharova, has a different opinion. “The hand of “democracy” is squeezing the throat of freedom,” she noted. The Kremlin expressed hope that the rights of the arrested person will be respected.
Ecuador sheltered Assange because the former president had left-of-center views, criticized U.S. policies and welcomed WikiLeaks' release of secret documents about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even before the Internet activist needed asylum, he managed to personally meet Correa: he interviewed him for the Russia Today channel.
However, in 2017, the government in Ecuador changed, and the country set a course for rapprochement with the United States. The new president called Assange “a stone in his shoe” and immediately made it clear that his stay on the embassy premises 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 for a visit. Then everything was decided. “You have no doubt: Lenin is simply a hypocrite. He has already agreed with the Americans on the fate of Assange. And now he is trying to make us swallow the pill, saying that Ecuador is supposedly continuing the dialogue,” Correa said in an interview with the Russia Today channel.
How Assange made new enemies
The day before his arrest, WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristin Hrafnsson said that Assange was under total surveillance. “WikiLeaks uncovered a large-scale espionage operation against Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy,” he noted. According to him, cameras and voice recorders were placed around Assange, and the information received was transferred 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.
Assange's expulsion was preceded by the corruption scandal surrounding Moreno. In February, WikiLeaks published a package of INA Papers, which traced the operations of the offshore company INA Investment, founded by the brother of the Ecuadorian leader. Quito said it was a conspiracy between Assange and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and former Ecuadorian leader Rafael Correa to overthrow Moreno.
In early April, Moreno complained about Assange's behavior at Ecuador's London mission. “We must protect the life of Mr. Assange, but he has already crossed all boundaries in terms 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 hack.” ". At the same time, back in February last year it became known that Assange at the embassy was deprived of the opportunity to interact with the outside world, in particular, his Internet access was cut off.
Why Sweden stopped its prosecution of 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.
In May 2017, Sweden stopped investigating two rape cases in which the portal’s founder was accused. Assange demanded compensation from the country's government for legal costs in the amount of 900 thousand euros.
Earlier, in 2015, Swedish prosecutors also dropped three charges against him due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
Where did the investigation into the rape case lead?
Assange arrived in Sweden in the summer of 2010, hoping to receive protection from American authorities. But he was investigated for rape. In November 2010, a warrant was issued for his arrest in Stockholm, and 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 decided to extradite Assange to Sweden, after which a number of successful appeals followed for the WikiLeaks founder.
British authorities placed him under house arrest before deciding whether 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 WikiLeaks founder.
What awaits Assange now?
The man was re-arrested on a US extradition request for publishing classified documents, police said. At the same time, Deputy Head of the British Foreign Ministry 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 appear in court on the afternoon of April 11. This is stated on the WikiLeaks Twitter page. British authorities are likely to seek a maximum sentence of 12 months, the man's mother said, citing his lawyer.
At the same time, Swedish prosecutors are considering reopening the rape investigation. Attorney Elizabeth Massey Fritz, who represented the victim, will seek this.
AdvertisingA few months ago, the news about the departure of Andrei Malakhov excited everyone. At first, many did not even believe in its veracity. However, time has shown that the journalist really quit, abandoned his cherished project “Let Them Talk.” To this day, many cannot understand the presenter’s motives.
32-year-old Borisov has already settled into his new place and assured that he feels at home in the Let Them Talk studio. Previously, he admitted that when he received an offer to take the place of Malakhov, with whom he has been friends for many years, his first thought was: “No, not me!” Dmitry said that he was not the first to learn about Andrei’s departure and not even from the presenter himself. “I was surprised. And I even made more than one attempt to somehow influence his decision,” Borisov admitted.
The first person he told that the channel’s management had invited him to become the new host of “Let Them Talk” was Malakhov. Borisov said that the TV presenter wished him good luck and advised him to start thinking about a new image in a talk show. “He was immediately sure that it was mine,” Dmitry recalled.
He also assured that there was no conflict that would have pushed Andrei to leave Channel One. “He was invented by the press from scratch,” Borisov assured. “Andrey and I used the versions that were invented for us,” he noted in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda. The TV presenter considers the transition of one team from a channel to another channel to be a fairly common occurrence, and if this time there had not been a star among the people, this event would not have received such publicity.
Why Malakhov left “Let Them Talk” 2017 from Channel One: an informed decision
It seemed to many that the decision to quit was spontaneous. In fact, Malakhov had already carried it in his soul for a long time, it just took time for this thought to strengthen and take shape.
Everything happened gradually. The presenter increasingly realized that, even with such colossal experience behind him, even ensuring an audience of millions and high ratings for the program, he had no real right to vote. He cannot make independent decisions regarding a project that has become so successful largely thanks to his efforts.
The journalist himself says that his dismissal was caused by rather banal reasons: lack of career growth.
Now many already know that Malakhov works on the Rossiya 1 channel, where he hosts the Live Broadcast program. Before him, the host of this project was Boris Korchevnikov.
Andrey Malakhov has already released several episodes of the “Live Broadcast” program in which he participated.
Showman Nikita Dzhigurda was very happy about the low rating of Malakhov’s program. According to Dzhigurda, this is how a celebrity bears responsibility for his actions.
Dzhigurda posted a caustic verse regarding the failure of the first episodes of Malakhov’s program on his profile on the social network Instagram. There he wrote that presenter Boris Korchevnikov had the courage to apologize for the “lawlessness” that took place in his program.
Dzhigurda considers Malakhov cynical and well-fed. He wrote that the TV presenter is a hypocrite who caught the boomerang of his own ratings and karmic shackles.
Regarding Malakhov, not all users agree with Dzhigurda’s opinion. As one subscriber defended the TV presenter, he himself watches because he likes it. Another user wrote that Malakhov is cool, and Dzhigurda shouldn’t do that, because few people are interested in his personal grievances.
There were also subscribers who supported Dzhigurda. One of the commentators asked the question, what was the point of leaving the TV show “Let Them Talk” and going to the “Live” program? Korchevnikov ran the program better.

Recently, rumors appeared in the media about the dismissal of Andrei Malakhov, who has been working there since 1992, from Channel One. According to Ruposters, the TV presenter decided to leave for VGTRK. For more than 10 years he has been the host of one of the highest-rated shows in the country, “Let Them Talk,” and for many Malakhov’s fans this news became a sensation. However, neither Andrei himself nor the management of Channel One comment on this news in any way.

However, new information appeared in the media. According to the Russian BBC service, Andrei is leaving for VGTRK due to the decision of the management of Channel One to add more political topics to the air of the “Let Them Talk” program. As it turned out, in May of this year, Natalya Nikonova returned to the channel, who had previously worked on Malakhov’s show, but left there and became the producer of the “Live Broadcast” program on “Russia 1”. It was after her return that the conflict began between the TV presenter and the channel’s management.

“Nikonova returned to First to shake up the socio-political bloc before the presidential elections.<…>When she arrived, everyone didn’t really understand what was happening. There was no conflict as such, but everyone was tense. She did a “Live broadcast” on “Russia 1”. And this is s***. The editors don’t want to do shit,” said an interlocutor of the BBC Russian Service.

The source also noted that so far no one has written a letter of resignation, but on the sidelines they are already discussing that “Evening News” announcer Dmitry Borisov and Dmitry Shepelev, who recently began hosting a new show on the First “Actually,” are trying out for Malakhov’s place. It is worth noting that none of them confirmed or denied this information.
