Today, on the Far Eastern air of Channel One, the first episode of the program “Let them talk” without Malakhov as the host called: “Hi, Andrey.” His place, as before, was taken by Dmitry Borisov. The program is entirely devoted to Malakhov, memories of sensational releases and interviews. The guests of the show were his colleagues: Dmitry Dibrov, Ekaterina Andreeva, Alla Pugacheva, Kristina Orbakaite and others.

In Moscow, "Let them talk" with Borisov will be released at 19.50.

Sources on Channel One reported that, together with Malakhov, the program “Let them talk” was left by almost the entire team involved in the production of the show. last years.

“The statements were written by about 30 people, all editors and creators of the program, who have been working on it for more than ten years,” the sources said.

On July 31, RBC that Malakhov will leave the First and switch to the Russia 1 TV channel. According to the source of the publication, the reason for this decision was the conflict within the “Let them talk” team due to the invitation of a new producer by Konstantin Ernst (his name was not called), who wanted to increase the number of issues devoted to political topics.

BBC this information. According to the publication, the conflict arose after Natalia Nikonova, the producer of the show "Live" on Russia 1, came to Channel One. Before leaving the First for the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, she worked for Let They Talk for several years.

On August 7, Elle magazine, which is run by Malakhov's wife Natalya Shkuleva, that the presenter leaves Channel One because he was not allowed to go on maternity leave. After the presenter announced his desire to take parental leave, the talk show producer said that “Let them talk” is not a nursery and Malakhov needs to make a choice who he is - a TV presenter or a babysitter, ”writes Elle. After that, Malakhov allegedly filed a letter of resignation.

Apparently, the now former host the most popular show on Channel One “Let them talk,” Andrei admitted that he was surprised by the popularity of the news about his maternity leave.

“I didn’t expect it myself, but the main news of the past week was my maternity leave, and this news even puzzled,” the showman wrote on the pages of the magazine, of which he is the editor.

According to him, the vacation period has not yet been determined.

“I don’t know yet whether I will follow in the footsteps of the general director of the Novosibirsk Opera and Ballet Theatre, who, after the birth of his fourth child, decided to go on maternity leave for as many as three years, or I will act according to a shortened version, as with those who devoted themselves to caring for their babies a little less time, ”Malakhov explained.

“The last time we discussed from which series of the educational cartoon “Child. Einstein, it’s better to start introducing the baby - Baby da Vinci, ready to send the baby on a musical journey from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, or limit himself to a video under the promising title "Baby Shakespeare," the TV presenter writes.

The pregnancy of the wife of Andrei Malakhov was indeed the number one news throughout the past week. Changes in the figure of the TV presenter's wife became noticeable in the footage from the family vacation they spend on the island of Sardinia.

However, reports that the TV presenter was leaving Channel One appeared before information about his maternity leave, namely, on July 31.

Then it was reported that the TV presenter would continue his career in the talk show "Live" on the TV channel "Russia 1". This was explained by the fact that a conflict allegedly broke out within the “Let them talk” team: the producer returned to the program, “who worked there nine years ago,” but “Malakhov didn’t work with her anymore.”

According to the BBC Russian Service, producer Nikonova, who came to the TV channel, planned to slightly change the format of the talk show and add to the program political topics. Malakhov, however, could not agree with this, and therefore refused to continue participating in the TV show. By the way, the new host of "Let them talk" was working in the "Evening News".

In addition to the "political" version, there is also a domestic one. The new leadership could give Malakhov an ultimatum precisely because of the situation with "maternity leave." Assumptions that Malakhov might leave Channel One for this very reason appeared on the same day as the information about his wife's pregnancy.

“The producer of Channel One, Natalia Nikonova, gave him a choice: either he stays with the company or becomes a babysitter. The journalist preferred to pay attention to the family, ”the StatHit magazine wrote at the time.

The same information was published in the magazine, where Malakhov's wife works as a brand director and publisher.

“After the TV presenter reported on his desire to go on parental leave, the new talk show producer made a comment that “Let them talk” is not a nursery, and Malakhov needs to make a choice whether he is a TV presenter or a babysitter. Such a statement of the issue, according to sources, seemed to the presenter absolutely cynical and unacceptable, ”the publication said in a statement.

Andrei and Natalia have been married for six years.

The future spouses met at work - Natalya is the daughter of a businessman, president of the Hearst Shkulev Media holding, which, among other publications, also includes the already mentioned places of work of the future spouses - Elle and StarHit magazines.

The wedding of the newlyweds took place in 2011 at the Palace of Versailles in France. Suggestion future wife Andrei did a year after the start of the relationship during their vacation in New York. Over the long six years of marriage, social media users have repeatedly made assumptions about the possible pregnancy of Natalia Shkuleva.

Each time, Malakhov denied rumors on this subject, and Natalya said that when the family was really waiting for replenishment, the public would know about it.

Meanwhile, Dmitry Borisov concluded "Let them talk" on Monday with the fact that viewers will learn some new details on Tuesday.

During last week the media is actively discussing the departure of the TV presenter and editor-in-chief of the StarHit project Andrei Malakhov from the Let Them Talk program and from Channel One. According to insiders, the journalist is going on maternity leave.

Andrey Malakhov's wife Natalya Shkuleva is expecting a baby. Changes in the figure of the TV presenter's wife became noticeable in the footage from the family vacation they spend on the island of Sardinia. Apparently, the couple no longer plans to hide the upcoming replenishment in the family.

The resort, which is popular with many celebrities, also has a rest designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, Philip Kirkorov, Nikolai Baskov, the son of the Prince of Monaco, Eric-Alexander Stefan, Anna Chapman and many others.

Last weekend, Andrey Malakhov and Natalia Shkuleva attended a gala dinner organized at the Billionaire club. It was there that the Italian Gianluca Vacca, who visited the show “Let them talk” last year, celebrated his anniversary.

The couple does not comment on the upcoming addition to the family, but Natalia's subscribers are already congratulating her on social network. According to sources familiar with the situation, it is precisely because of the pregnancy of his wife that Malakhov leaves Channel One. New Producer Natalya Nikonova reacted very negatively to the journalist's decision to take care of the baby and posed the question point-blank: either he remains to lead the program "Let them talk" or becomes a babysitter. According to Elle.ru insiders, this wording seemed cynical and unacceptable to the TV journalist, since, in accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 256 of the Labor Code, parental leave can also be granted to the father of the child or another relative.

By the way, this practice has been common in Russia and around the world for several years. Previously another famous father, CEO Novosibirsk academic theater opera and ballet Vladimir Kekhman took maternity leave. Evil tongues said that in this way he wanted to avoid being fired. However, he returned to work a few weeks ago.

“My daughter was three months old, she got stronger. In the first weeks of her life, she demanded tireless, every minute care, and I am very glad that I was able to be with my family and take care of the child all this time, ”the head told reporters.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg also spent the first two months after the birth of his daughter on maternity leave. The man claimed that, according to research, the presence of both parents next to the baby has a beneficial effect on his development.

StarHit wrote about men who were not afraid to leave work to take care of the baby. Many of the heroes noted that every dad should experience for himself what maternity leave is.

Aleksey Afanasiev from Kazan received the required payments from the employer. A man who worked as a manager of the purchasing department of a large retail chain, formalized everything according to the law. While dad was taking care of his daughter Alice, he managed to open another business. Afanasiev began selling products via the Internet.

“When my daughter missed her mother, I showed a photo or we called her via video link,” Alexey said, “Alice heard a voice and calmed down. There were no problems with food. In the morning, the wife expressed milk. He also gave a mixture, soon they switched to it completely. ”

According to the Social Insurance Fund Russian Federation, the number of men taking maternity leave has increased in recent years. A father who stays at home with a child receives an allowance in the amount of 40% of average earnings. By the way, for some families this is an effective way to increase income a little.

“The legislation provides for the right that a person, while on parental leave, could work part-time,” said Irina Svinchenko, a representative of the Social Insurance Fund. “Then the father can receive both a salary and an allowance.”

"When the father goes to the role child educator, this is a fairly new topic for our society. When Andrey Malakhov takes on such a role, it looks like a real sensation - no less! ”, - a family psychologist, candidate, comments on the situation. pedagogical sciences, expert of the Center for Emergency psychological help Pavel Ponomarev. In his opinion, this story is fabulous, touching and at the same time very tender. But in our society there is an established tradition according to which the woman takes care of the children, and the father earns his livelihood. And even Malakhov is unlikely to be able to change public opinion.

“We have a strong stereotype: if a father walks with a stroller, it means that as a man he did not take place, they say, he cannot earn money, he is a complete loser. Of course, such arguments are complete nonsense. If it were not Malakhov, but a simple miner, then, believe me, society would have automatically condemned him, psychologically torn to pieces,” continues the psychologist.

As previously written, the sensational dismissal of TV presenter Andrei Malakhov from Channel One received an explanation. According to Elle magazine, Andrei's wife, Natalya Shkuleva, is in a position, and for a respectable period. And when Andrei asked the new producer of the show "Let them talk" for a vacation to support his wife before the birth and - as they say - for the first time after them, the producer allegedly put the TV presenter before a choice.

Sources close to the union of Andrei and Natalia say that Malakhov does not tolerate being pushed around or put in a rigid framework. When the producer found out that Andrei would like to be with his family, a comment was received that “Let them talk” is not a nursery, and Malakhov must decide: he is a TV presenter or a babysitter. Andrey's choice was made in favor of the family.

After a fight with the producer, Andrey and Natalya went to rest. In the famous Hotel Cala Di Volpe on Sardini, designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, singer Philip Kirkorov, son of the Prince of Monaco Eric-Alexander Stefan, TV presenter Anna Chapman, businessman Alisher Usmanov are relaxing next to their spouses. Andrei and his wife do not hide from anyone and lead an active lifestyle on vacation, illustrating best moments photos on Instagram. In the pictures, Natalia's pregnancy is clearly visible, but this does not seem to bother the spouses at all.

"Remember one of the most popular Soviet slogans: 'You can't live in society and be free from society'? This thesis is still alive in our minds," says Pavel Ponomarev. According to the expert, many will say that Malakhov is doing wrong, that he just wanted to relax while maintaining his workplace, and so on. Judging by the fact that Malakhov himself did not receive a single comment about his dismissal from the First, the TV presenter made the only right decision in this situation: "Let them talk!".
