"Dear friends!

In our digital era, the epistolary genre is used extremely rarely, but I came to Channel One in the last century, when people still wrote letters to each other, not text messages. So forgive me for such a long message. I dare to hope that you know the true reasons for my unexpected transfer to “Russia 1”, where I will be hosting new program"Andrei Malakhov. Live broadcast”, working on a Saturday show and other projects.

I remember the day when I crossed the threshold of the “Time” program as an intern and saw for the first time big television from the inside. From that “ice age” only 91-year-old Kaleria Kislova ( former chief director of the program “Time” – approx. "StarHit"). Kaleria Venediktovna, colleagues still talk about you with aspiration. People who could build ;-) everyone - both presidents and top officials of the state - will no longer be seen on TV. You are an example of the highest professionalism!

From the amazing past, I will also miss Kirill Kleimenov, who stands today at the helm of news broadcasting. We started together on the Good Morning program. Kirill then read the morning news, and today he has a huge responsibility on his shoulders, he practically lives in the Television Center. Kirill, for me you are an example of self-denial in the name of your favorite business, and there is the highest justice in the fact that you got the office with the most beautiful view of the ancient Ostankino Park. I also admire that you can easily communicate even in such a complex language as Finnish. When conjugating verbs in my “easy” French classes, I always think of you.

Dear security officers! Thank you very much for your help! I took my first steps in Ostankino without your supervision, but then you managed to stop so many fights - both in the Big Wash studio and on the Let Them Talk program.

Almost every day of these 25 years, entering the Telecenter, I met the invariably friendly Oksana Markova, selling newspapers and magazines. Oksanochka, I already miss your wonderful smile!

Head of the Television Center Mikhail Markovich Shubin, I will also never forget your kind attitude.

They say that they have now introduced a quota on the issuance of American visas. But for the amazing Khadoza Mustafina from the passport and visa department, who died not so long ago, there were no barriers. And what fabulous pies she treated me to! Svetochka Kazakova, Katya Nazarova, Rita Dovzhenko, Lenochka Semyonova, how many sleepless dawns we met together while receiving visas! Thanks to your participation, all my foreign business trips took place.

Your deputy and my good friend is news anchor Dmitry Borisov.

Dima, all my hope is in you! The other day I saw fragments of “Let Them Talk” with your participation. I'm sure you will succeed!

One of the main creators of my style is Tatyana Mikhalkova and the super team of the image studio “Russian Silhouette”! How many hairstyles Regina Avdimova and her magical masters did, in a matter of minutes. I think this could not have happened without the help of the collection of frogs that Reginochka collects for good luck.

My dear 14th studio! I recently watched with tears in my eyes as it was dismantled. Wonderful design, invented by the chief artist of Channel One, Dmitry Likin. Who can do better, endow the scenery with the same internal energy?! Dima is generally a very versatile person. The interiors of the Moscow Pioneer cinema and the embankment of the Muzeon art park are also his creations. I am also grateful to Dmitry for being one of the first to infect me with a love for contemporary art, and this added an incredible cascade of emotions to my life.

My beloved Catherines! “Sister Capricorn” Katya Mtsituridze! Sorry for not telling you personally, but as a person working on the channel and heading Roskino, you understand: I need to grow and move forward. Katyusha Andreeva, you have a cool page on Instagram, and special respect for your likes. Katya Strizhenova, how many shares, starting with “ Good morning“, holidays, concerts our “sweet couple” endured ;-) – too many to count!

The main music producer of the channel, Yuri Aksyuta, you and I also have a rich experience of TV hours spent together. “Eurovision”, “New Year’s Lights”, “Two Stars”, “Golden Gramophone” - this was recently, it was a long time ago... You brought me to the big stage: our duet with Masha Rasputina still does not allow envious people to sleep peacefully.

Lenochka Malysheva, you were the person who was the first to call in excitement, refusing to believe what was happening. But you need to develop, you, as the producer of your own program, understand this better than others. And if at the same time I pushed you into new topic broadcast called “The first manifestations of male menopause” ;-), also not bad.

And if we continue to joke, another producer of his own show, Ivan Urgant, understands me well. Vanya, thank you for the numerous mentions of my person and raising the ratings of that rather large part of the audience that spins spinners.

Directorate of Planning and Financing - Tatyana Vasilievna Garanina! If anyone can be called a true lady in Ostankino, it’s you! The picture is forever imprinted in my memory: deep night, an almost empty Television Center and a fragile, graceful female figure leaving work. And I hope you know: everything we sang at your anniversary was sincere and from the heart!

Head of the Commercial Directorate Petr Shepin! Among the many events that you helped us organize was a charity marathon in support of residents of the Far East affected by the flood. This is unforgettable!

Zhenya Morozova and Oksanochka Shendler are my Ostankino flower fairies! With your bouquets, especially New Year's compositions, you always reminded me that somewhere else is the time of year - without cold, freezing rain and gray, cloudy skies. I don't know how soon I'll be back in your store, but I hope my five percent discount won't be revoked.

Andrey Andreevich Pisarev! Long years you were my immediate boss, and I am extremely embarrassed that, after writing my resignation letter, I could not help with tickets to the Salzburg Opera Festival and Anna Netrebko’s performance. One thing is good: there was an unprecedented excitement there, and you saved $20 thousand for the family budget. That’s what they asked for for one ticket.

Lenochka Queen! In memory of your grandmother, Lyudmila Gurchenko, to whom I promised not to abandon you in life, I still took you to work. You yourself know that you were not the most exemplary administrator. But now, having gone through the “Let Them Talk” school, I dare to hope that you won’t let me down anywhere.

Ilyusha Krivitsky! My flight on the bull's horns in " Big races"will always be on your conscience ;-). But you know how much I love you, and Maxim Galkin is very lucky to have such a producer in the “Best of All” program.

And if we’re talking about Maxim Galkin... Max, everyone says that I’m repeating your television fate ( in 2008, Galkin left Channel One for Rossiya, but returned seven years later– approx. "StarHit"). I will say more, as a teenager I, a novice fan of Alla Borisovna, also dreamed of repeating your personal fate... ;-) And one more thing. I didn’t comment on your recent video with the castle in the background, because if money had come first in this story, my transfer, as you guessed, would have happened nine years ago.

Press service of Channel One - Larisa Krymova... Lara, exactly from yours light hand I became the editor-in-chief of StarHit magazine. It was you who organized my first meeting with the president of the Hearst Shkulev Publishing house, Viktor Shkulev, where this magazine has been successfully published for the tenth year.

Head of the sports editorial office of Channel One, Nikolai Nikolaevich Malyshev, you have always remained for me the standard of elegance and wise attitude to what is happening. And you will certainly be in my position, agreeing that an offer to become a producer of your own show does not come every day.

The highly respected and much-loved HR department represented by Larisa Ivanovna Kulkova, Lyubov Mikhailovna Pukhanova and, of course, Larisa Anatolyevna Nasonova. I saw your sincere tears when I brought the application. This attitude is worth a lot.

First Deputy General Director – Alexander Fayfman. Sasha, we worked closely together, with your direct participation we launched the “Big Laundry” project. I still feel embarrassed that already at the second Ice Age training session, when you paired me with Anna Semenovich, I crashed on the ice, and Anechka and I didn’t skate again ;-).

Well, in conclusion - about the owner of the main office of Ostankino, on the door of which there is a sign “10-01” attached. Dear Konstantin Lvovich! 45 years is an important milestone in a man’s life, 25 of which I gave to you and Channel One. These years have become part of my DNA and I remember every minute you dedicated to me. Thanks a lot for everything you did, for the experience that you passed on to me, for the amazing journey along the television road of life that we went through together.

The only request is to take care of your assistants, especially Lenochka Zaitseva. She is not only very devoted and professional employee, but may well lay claim to the role of chief psychologist of Channel One.

I wrote all this and I understand: a lot has happened in 25 years, and although I am unbearably sad now, I will remember only one thing - how good we were together. Take care of yourself and your loved ones, my beloved! God bless us!

Yours Andrey Malakhov"

An open letter to Konstantin Ernst and all those with whom I worked for 25 years at Channel One.

Yours Andrey Malakhov

On the Starhit magazine website, TV presenter Andrei Malakhov, aka Chief Editor publication, published an open letter to to CEO Channel One to Konstantin Ernst and all the channel’s employees, where he thanked all his colleagues personally for their long collaboration and the experience gained.

“Dear Konstantin Lvovich! 45 years is an important milestone in a man’s life, 25 of which I gave to you and Channel One. These years have become part of my DNA and I remember every minute that you intkbbee dedicated to me. Thank you very much for everything you did, for the experience you shared with me, for the amazing journey along the television road of life that we went through together,” the text of the address says.

We note that in our open letter Malakhov, addressing his colleagues, does not name the true reasons for the “unexpected transfer to “Russia 1”, where he will host the new program “Andrey Malakhov. Live", but they hope that they know them.

As the TV presenter explained in an interview with the online publication Wday, he was no longer satisfied with the position of a “soldier” who is always subordinate.

“Before his birthday (in January Malakhov turned 45 years old - approx.) there was a crisis of the genre in absolutely everything. Starting from program topics that began to seem secondary - this already happened in The Simpsons - and ending with complete dissatisfaction with my position. I always was subordinate. A human soldier, carrying out orders. But I wanted independence. I looked at my colleagues, they became producers of their programs, they began to make decisions themselves. And suddenly the understanding came: life goes on, and you need to grow, get out of the tight confines," he explained his decision to leave Channel One Malakhov.

According to the presenter, the last straw for him was the move of the studio of the “Let Them Talk” program from Ostankino.

"And Ostankino is my second home. It has its own aura, energy. Our team also never changed the studio. It was a place of power. We went in and understood what needed to be done. I was left without a home and a familiar atmosphere... And then they sent me a video , how they dismantled the “Let Them Talk” studio. I don’t know what to compare what I felt with. Probably, if they brought you to the morgue and showed how they dissected a person close to you. And like this: drop by drop, they burned out everything that was dear, to which I was mentally attached,” the presenter summed up.

As Topnews previously reported, Andrei Malakhov left Channel One for the Rossiya-1 TV channel, and a new presenter appeared in the “Let Them Talk” program - former “newsman” Dmitry Borisov.

The reason for Malakhov's departure has not been officially announced. According to one version, they tried to impose political topics on the presenter, which he categorically refused to cover in the talk show.

From Channel One, publishing an open letter to Konstantin Ernst. The resource he chose was StarHit magazine, of which the TV presenter was a part-time editor-in-chief. The website wday.ru, which is part of the same publishing house as the magazine, published the first interview given by the TV presenter after the silence associated with rumors about his departure.

The TV presenter’s open letter begins with the following words (the author’s spelling has been preserved):

"Dear friends!

In our digital era, the epistolary genre is used extremely rarely, but I came to Channel One in the last century, when people still wrote letters to each other, not text messages. So forgive me for such a long message. I dare to hope that you know the true reasons for my unexpected transfer to “Russia 1”, where I will host the new program “Andrey Malakhov. Live”, work on the Saturday show and other projects..."

What follows is a long longread, the essence of which can be conveyed in words - “an extended “thank you”. Malakhov thanks his colleagues and friends - from leaders Yuri Aksyuta and Alexander Faifman to TV presenters Ivan Urgant and Elena Malysheva. He also addressed with gratitude to Maxim Galkin, “transition period "which he now repeats from one channel to another. At this point in the letter it is said that if money had mattered to Malakhov, he would have gone to VGTRK 9 years ago.

The address to Ernst is included at the end of the letter:

“Well, in conclusion, about the owner of the main office of Ostankino, on the door of which there is a sign “10-01”. Dear Konstantin Lvovich! 45 years is an important milestone in a man’s life, 25 of them I gave to you and Channel One.” "These years have become part of my DNA, and I remember every minute that you devoted to me. Thank you so much for everything you did, for the experience that you passed on to me, for the amazing journey along the television road of life that we went through together."

Now on Channel One, instead of one evening talk show, the viewer essentially received two. And Malakhov alone was replaced by two presenters at once. This is Dmitry Shepelev, who begins to “warm up” the audience a little earlier, telling chilling things in the show “Actually” personal stories, and after it comes “Let Them Talk” with Dmitry Borisov. “I’m not a magician, I’m just learning,” Borisov could say. But they are gradually getting used to him, although for a long time they will be compared with Malakhov, who is now hosting a show on the Rossiya 1 channel.

By the way, in his letter Malakhov, an “elder” and a “dinosaur” who worked for a quarter of a century on Channel One, blessed his younger colleague in a certain way. “Dima, all my hope is in you! The other day I saw fragments of “Let Them Talk” with your participation. I’m sure you will succeed!”
