"Morning Star"
Start
In 1991, on Channel One, then Soviet television new one aired music show“Morning Star”, which immediately won the hearts of all viewers.
The author and host of the program was famous TV presenter, actor and showman Yuri Nikolaev. It is worth noting that Yuri could not then find a sponsor for selecting a team, children, operators, renting premises... The author of the program had to invest his own money, borrowed from a bank on credit, into the program.
Competition rules
The program was conducted on a competitive basis, in which participants showed their skills in vocal or dance genres depending on age ( age groups from 3 to 15 and from 15 to 22 years). The jury, consisting of four people, gave a score to each of the participants. Dialer greatest number points advanced to the next round. In addition, the program included a competition for presenters and a competition for young performers. classical music, held jointly with the New Names Foundation.
It must be said that “Morning Star” paved the way to fame for many now famous pop performers, such as Ani Lorak, Yulia Nachalova, Sergei Lazarev, and many others. The program, which lasted 12 years, was repeatedly awarded the highest awards, including international ones.
In 2002, it migrated from Channel One to TVC, where it existed until 2003. On November 16, 2003, the last episode of the program took place.
The creator of the program, which will forever be remembered by everyone, happily recalls the past years and is sad that his brainchild was closed.
In his opinion, today there are few programs for teenagers on domestic television, and he would really like to revive “Morning Star”, but, unfortunately, this does not depend on him.
“When I conceived the program, I thought that if it lasts for several years, it will be great,” recalls Yuri Alexandrovich. – As a result, the program lasted 13 years. For the program, I think this is very good indicator. Nevertheless, television is moving forward, new formats have appeared, Channel One has new views. “Star Factory” appeared, which was considered similar to “Morning Star”, and my program was closed. It’s not that I’m offended, it’s just that this is my brainchild, and probably I should have moved on, developed more. Although I was constantly introducing some new ideas, nominations, decorations. But, probably, it was necessary to change the form itself in accordance with the times. Of course, I dream of resuming “Morning Star”, but I think that it would hardly be aired on Channel One. Now there is a children's "Voice", very good program. Perhaps she would have gone on another channel. You see, now all channels have transformed my idea in one form or another, and now every channel has children’s programs. Of course, what I came up with is the author's program. Now, alas, there are practically no copyrighted programs, and I don’t remember that since 1990 anyone has promoted their own brand. I succeeded and I’m happy that I did it.”
"Love at first sight"
Start
Love at First Sight is a television romance game show. Aired from January 12, 1991 to August 31, 1999 on the RTR television channel. The very first episode of the program was filmed in London, in the studio where the English version of “Love at first sight” was filmed. The hosts of the program were Alla Volkova and Boris Kryuk. And Hook’s voice is now heard in the program “What? Where? When?".
In 2011, an attempt was made to revive the show with slightly modified rules on MTV, but the attempt was unsuccessful. The program lasted in this form for less than six months.
There are still analogues of the game show, but “Love at First Sight” has remained for our TV viewers one of the most striking and unusual programs of the Soviet period. First of all, viewers loved her for her mystery and romance. There was no vulgarity in it, which is now in abundance on modern television.
Rules of the game
The action took place in two stages. On the first day, three girls and three guys met for the first time in the studio, where they answered the hosts' treacherous questions. At the end of the game, pressing the buttons simultaneously determined who sympathized with whom. If the participants' opinions coincided with the computer's, the happy couple went to a restaurant to get to know each other better and prepare for the next stage.
The next day, participants were asked to answer the presenters’ questions about how their partner(s) would behave in a given situation. The correct answer gave the right to one shot, which was realized at the end of the game. Shooting was carried out in sectors behind which were located various prizes, including the main one - “Romantic Journey”. When hitting " Broken heart“The game stopped and the couple was deprived of everything “that had been acquired through back-breaking labor.”
Subsequently, the rules changed somewhat - the pair for the second stage began to be determined by audience voting in the studio, and the number of heart sectors decreased (but the “Broken Heart” sector disappeared). The main idea of the program is to create a happy married couple, whose wedding gift would be romantic trip, stayed.
End of love
In this form, “Love” existed until the end of August 1999. After the closure of this show, Alla married for the third time and disappeared from the screens. However, she didn't stop creative activity, becoming the editor of the production center “Igra-TV”.
But Boris Kryuk remained in the public eye, hosting the program “What? Where? When?".
“You know, the story of why the program was closed is becoming legendary. In fact, the last few years of its existence were broadcast less and less. Latest shootings were in 1998 right before Black Tuesday,” said Boris Kryuk. “So the economic situation had an impact. I must say that it was quite an expensive show because of the scenery, computers, etc. Alla and I grew a little during the journey and wanted to move on. As a result, “Love at First Sight” ran for some time, but still closed. Everything was by mutual agreement, no one had any complaints about this. Afterwards, a lot of analogues appeared on the screens, which could not repeat our success.
Now I have found myself so much in the program “What? Where? When?” because I’m not on the screen. I don't like it when people come up to me and want something from me. By nature I am not an actor, I don’t need to be loved, looked at, etc. I prefer to stay in the shadows."

Teams take turns choosing one of the closed blue screens and must guess the intended song, the line from which is encrypted on the television screens. It is impossible to guess the song by the first word, so participants are required to sing any song where the open word appears, always in the appropriate case. If players open the red screen, the turn goes to the other team.
In the super game of the program, all six screens open at once, on which the words of the song are mixed up. Either the host can ask the finalist team to name a number from one to six, or invite the finalist on stage to choose one of six balls, each of which has the same numbers written on it. The number on the ball or named by the finalist team will correspond to the number of screens to be opened. If the participants of one of the teams guess the song, then the team of a certain piano becomes the winner of the program.

In her program, Anfisa talked about the most interesting stories from personal life of people. About how to become sexy and realize your deepest desires, how to return extinguished passion, win your beloved man and prevent him from going to the left.
Closing the show
Despite the show's popularity, it was not destined to last long. During the economic crisis, filming of new episodes of the program stopped. The project was frozen, and old episodes of the program until 2012 were released in repeats.
"Window"
Start
The first issue of the Windows program was released on STS TV channel May 20, 2002. And immediately gathered a huge audience at the screens. After all, spying on your neighbors through the keyhole is a curious thing and loved by many. And in the program, childish passions were in full swing: offended wives pulled out the hair of their husband’s mistresses, men fought over the slightest insults, strippers and transvestites came to the program, and, naturally, all this was accompanied by obscene language. The audience has never seen such a show! On Channel One there were similar programs with similar washing of bones and digging through dirty laundry: “Big Laundry”, “My Family”, but it seemed that there were still some kind of boundaries there. In “Windows” they were completely erased.
There was another factor why the audience loved the show so much. He was led by the charming Dmitry Nagiyev, with his shirt unbuttoned on his chest and long curly hair. He did not mince words, sometimes he pushed guests together, and his “everything, bye, bye” is still remembered by the audience.
Plot
The idea and style of the program are copied from The Jerry Springer Show, which has been on the air since 1991.
Usually the plot of the program developed according to the following scheme: Dmitry Nagiyev explained the background of the conflict, then its participants were invited to the studio one after another. The heroes dealt with each other verbally or using force. In this case, by the way, there was a “security service” in the studio, consisting of two strong men, whose goal was to separate the fighters.
After the end of the discussion, the presenter announced a “gong” and invited the audience to speak about the problem, and each was given exactly ten seconds. So, in one program three were analyzed different stories, nothing related to each other.
Latest issue
A few months after the start of broadcasting the program, the newly established TV channel TVS wanted to lure the ratings “Windows” to itself. But the author of the scandalous talk show, Valery Komissarov, changed his mind at the last moment and canceled the deal.
New in 2002 CEO STS channel Alexander Rodnyansky decided to close “Windows”. And from July 22, 2002, the program began to air on the TNT channel. True, STS also played old issues of Windows for the rest of the summer, until September 1st.
In February 2005, the last block of programs was filmed, and in the same year the talk show was closed due to declining ratings. The fact is that by this moment the audience was finally convinced: all the heroes are fake actors. At first, many still believed that it was real people dared to come to the program to sort out their family affairs. But attentive viewers began to notice that in some episodes the characters were repeated, but the stories they told did not match.
“I’ll tell you a secret: during the existence of the program, there wasn’t a single real hero in it,” Dmitry admitted several years after the show closed. – Until now, no one has repeated the success of “Windows”. Imagine when a channel with a share of 3.4% (professionals should understand this) gives figures of 26%. It's like an ant carrying an elephant. That's roughly what it was like.
God bless the creators of the program. While working at Okna, I bought real estate in Moscow. So we still exist in a small apartment - me and my mother with a cat.”
Lolita without complexes
Start
The first episode of the program was released on Channel One on August 29, 2005. The theme is eternal: family problems, relationships between fathers and children, men and women, sex, love... But there is one difference: Lolita’s emotionality. The singer talked with each guest like a close friend. She never judged, but she could openly express the most impartial criticism, and then cry with the hero. Her motto: “Getting rid of complexes helps a person change his attitude towards life, and therefore change his life.”
Plot
Each program was devoted to a separate topic. Lolita indicated a series of questions that she tried to answer together with her guests, each of whom told their own story at a separate table in the center of the hall. Professional psychologists and psychotherapists were also present in the studio, who gave the heroes specific advice and helped them find a way out of the most hopeless situations. And this, by the way, was a breakthrough in the talk show format. Lolita was one of the first to work in conjunction with professional commentators, for which in 2007 she was awarded the national television award “TEFI” in the category “ Talk show host».
Latest issue
The talk show was closed in 2007 on the initiative of Lolita herself. The singer admitted that this work exhausted her terribly.
“There is no secret here, I was just tired and left,” Lolita said. – I passed all the stories through myself, delved into the essence of each one, got incredibly tired and, as a result, broke down from overexertion. At that time, I had suffered greatly physically, because television was not my only job. I was also not satisfied with the editing of the program. What took place on the set was livelier and richer than what was broadcast. I'm talking about technical flaws. It happens that the operator misses, and the one who sits at the control panel in the editing room is too lazy to tell about it. I'm a perfectionist by nature, so when I see this, I swear. I’m used to delving into everything to the very essence and I don’t understand how you can work carelessly. I'm uncomfortable."
Return
After 8 years, the program has a chance to return to the screens. True, on a different channel and with a different name.
“For those who miss the program “Without Complexes”: my new show “Lolita” has been filming since August 2014,” she said good news singer. – We received the go-ahead after the pilot episodes. The program will be aired on the “Friday!” channel.
"I myself"
Start
The first truly women's talk show appeared on February 22, 1995, on the eve of the men's holiday of Defender of the Fatherland Day, as a protest against the fact that most films and programs of that time were aimed at men: politics, sports, action films, etc. In the program “I Myself” they talked only about women’s problems under the leadership of Yulia Menshova, the daughter of director Vladimir Menshov and actress Vera Alentova. Julia did not want to follow in the footsteps star parents, and this was her first attempt to do something on her own. Just a few months later she had already become one of the most popular, most recognizable TV presenters on the Russian television screen.
Plot
The studio gathered celebrities, experts in various fields and the most ordinary people to talk openly, argue about pressing problems: “I don’t love my child,” “My husband joined a sect,” etc. At different periods when the talk show aired, Yulia Menshova had co-hosts: playwright and prose writer Irina Khrisanfova, psychologist Olga Serdobova, writer Maria Arbatova.
Closing
The program “I Myself” existed until 2002, first airing on channel TV-6, and later on NTV. Over the years of its existence, the program “I Myself” repeatedly changed its style and was broadcast on different channels, but all this time it remained one of the most popular, highest-rated talk shows. In 1999, Yulia Menshova became a laureate of the national television award “TEFI” in the “Talk Show Host” category. “Until the time I worked on the show “I Myself,” my dad wasn’t too proud of my successes. Basically, they and my mother nagged me,” Yulia recalled. “And when I left their wing, theater and cinema, and took up television, some kind of objectivity came. They began to react calmer. And finally they became proud of me. After receiving the TEFI, my dad even praised me for the first time.”
Return to TV
After almost 10 years, Yulia Menshova returned to TV. Her original program “Alone with Everyone” is currently airing on Channel One, where she talks with popular people for an hour. “This is a return to home,” admitted Yulia. – Over the past 10 years, some changes have occurred on television, but they are more of a structural nature. What we once discovered as a bicycle now works automatically. And it's very nice. As for the actual recording of the program, I don’t have the feeling that there was any pause at all. I don’t feel frantic excitement, I calculate my strength and know what I can do and what I can’t. Probably, when it’s really your business, you adequately assess your strengths, without underestimating your capabilities or exaggerating.”
"Lucky case"
Start
The family quiz show appeared on domestic television in 1989. This is not the know-how of our producers, but an analogue of the American show “Race to the Leader.” Each episode was attended by two teams (families) consisting of four people. They answered intellectual questions from the host, each other, and TV viewers. Based on the results of 5 rounds, the winner was determined. The team that managed to win four games in a row received unimaginable prizes at that time: a TV, a VCR and a stereo system.
Rules
The rules of the quiz have undergone changes over time. Initially, on the table in front of the teams there was a playing field with colored sectors indicating the topics of the questions. After 1994 this field disappeared. True, a new round appeared, where pop stars, actors, and athletes asked questions to the participants. The ratings for “A Happy Occasion” were crazy until 1999. After moving from ORT to TVC, the program lasted a couple more months, and then closed completely.
Leading
From the very first issue, the quiz was hosted by Mikhail Marfin, who, one might say, along with Voroshilov, instilled in Russians a love of smart games. In addition to hosting “Happy Occasion,” Mikhail was the editor of the KVN Major League from 1992 to 2004, and from 2007 to 2009 he was a permanent member of the jury of the TNT programs “Laughter without Rules” and “Killer League.” Since 2013, he has been hosting the show “You Can’t Get Smarter” on the STV channel. Writes scripts for TV series and films.
"A woman's gaze" by Oksana Pushkina
Start
For the first time, domestic television viewers found out who Oksana Pushkina was in 1997. Upon returning home after a long stay in the USA, the journalist came to the VID company with a proposal to make author's program about difficult women's destinies. The creators of VID liked the idea. A couple of months later “ Women's stories"Oksana Pushkina." The audience immediately remembered Pushkina’s manner of presentation: the revelations of stars talking about their difficult life, overcoming adversity and a sympathetic voice-over. Oksana instantly became one of the most popular presenters.
Moving to NTV
True, despite the success, two years later Pushkina moved to NTV due to financial disagreements with the channel. They say they didn’t pay any money. Oksana’s new program began to be called “A Woman’s View” by Oksana Pushkina.” But the “first button” did not lag behind. Oerteshniks launched a twin project “Women’s Stories” with Tatyana Pushkina.” Not only do the presenters of similar programs have the same last names, but they were also very similar in appearance. As a result, the two channels had almost identical programs.
Closing
The last episode of “A Woman’s View...” aired in 2013. The program was closed due to Pushkina’s return to Channel One.
Talk show "Arina"
Start
The program aired on the NTV channel in 1998–1999. The host, as the name suggests, is Arina Sharapova. The genre of this show is very similar to Yulia Menshova’s project “Alone with Everyone,” which is currently airing on Channel One.
The essence of the project
People came to Arina’s studio famous people and talked about various, sometimes very personal topics. For example, on one of the talk show broadcasts there was Lyudmila Gurchenko, who talked about terrible disease, which she transferred in ’96. Sharapova's program was distinguished by very interesting, but at the same time tactful questions and, of course, the charm of the presenter.
Closing
However, in October 1999, Arina left for TV-6, and in 2001 she returned to First, where she continues to this day. Good morning" From 2007 to 2010, Sharapova was the co-host of " Fashionable sentence" In 2013, she conducted several editions of the game “The Most best husband", in 2014 - host of the project "Island of Crimea". Since 2014, she has been the president of the School of Arts and Media Technologies.
"Brain Ring"
Start
Another domestically produced intellectual show from Vladimir Voroshilov. The creator of the program “What? Where? When?" conceived this project back in the early 80s. However, he managed to bring the idea to life only a decade later. The essence of the program is close to “ChGK”, however, instead of one team of experts, two teams of 6 people answer the same questions. The order of answers is determined by a button on the participants’ table: whoever pressed first is the first to answer. Accordingly, the intensity of passions increased due to competition.
Leading
The first few issues in the early 90s were conducted by Voroshilov himself. In 1991, Andrei Kozlov, one of the experts in the elite club, became the host of the project. Besides him in the "Brain Ring" in different time Alexander Druz, Boris Burda, Vladimir Belkin took part.
What now?
The program also moved frequently from channel to channel. At first it was shown on the first button, and was shown on TVC for some time. From February 6 to December 4, 2010 it aired on the STS TV channel. The hosts were Andrei Kozlov and actress Elizaveta Arzamasova (in the image of Galina Sergeevna Vasnetsova, a character in the TV series " father's daughters"). In 2013, several episodes were shown by the Zvezda channel (a special tournament among employees of the Ministry of Defense).
Also, their own versions of the show were released in Ukraine, Belarus, and Azerbaijan.
"Up to 16 and older"
Start
In 1983, a program covering the lives of young people appeared on the First Program of the USSR Central Television. Moreover, it spoke not only about the achievements and successes of young Soviet citizens, but also about their problems. Homelessness, hazing in the army, drugs and rock and roll – the presenters and correspondents of “Until 16...” examined the most pressing topics. Even intimate issues were discussed in the “Tete-a-Tete” section. Famous people were often invited to the program. So, in 1988, immediately after the sensational film “Needle,” the idol of that time, Viktor Tsoi, appeared on the air.
Journalists and presenters
On initial stage the issue was a magazine consisting of individual stories and reports. Later, the program became closer to the format of a talk show with a studio and guests discussing burning topics of the younger generation. Among the presenters of the show were Sergei Suponev, who since 1986 worked in the Children's Editorial Office of Central Television and prepared stories for the program “Under 16 and Over” and Alexey Veselkin.
Closing
“Under 16 and Over” lasted a long time on silver screens, until 2001. Since then, the project has been on indefinite hiatus. No one has ever fully filled this niche.
"The Domino Principle"
Start
The program started on the NTV channel in 2001. The hosts of “The Domino Principle” were Elena Ishcheeva and Elena Hanga. Issues were issued at a daily frequency. The program caused an unprecedented stir - over three television seasons of broadcasting, more than 700 programs were aired.
The essence of the program
The talk show was based on real heroes And real stories. In each episode, the hosts, together with guests and experts from the program, discussed a specific situation or problem. The name “Domino Principle” was intended to reflect the essence of what was happening in the studio - the desire to study every circumstance, any factor that influences the chain of subsequent events. In a figurative sense, when one domino pushes another, the entire chain falls.
Closing
More and more often, Elena Ishcheeva and Elena Khanga had to resolve conflicts not only between the broadcast participants, but also among themselves. As Ishcheeva later admitted, she and Hanga could not work well together, but if this had happened, the program could have existed for a very, very long time. By 2006, The Domino Principle's ratings had dropped so low that the program had to be taken off the air.
"Details"
Start
The program appeared on the STS channel television network in 2002. The host of “Details” was Tina Kandelaki. Issues were published in live. The production of the first version of the program, aired from September to December 2002, was carried out by the VID television company. Then the program went for revision and returned to the air only in 2003.
The essence of the program
Guests came to Tina Kandelaki’s studio with whom she could have an interesting and informative conversation on various topics. From 2003 to 2007, the “Details in the Morning” program was broadcast, hosted by Sasha Markvo and Nastya Chukhrai, and the regular episode was published on weekdays at night. From this program came “Stories in Detail” and “Cinema in Detail”. Since the fall of 2006, the program was broadcast live and became interactive - anyone could call the program studio by phone and ask a question to the guest. At the same time, politicians were never invited to the program in accordance with the apolitical concept of STS broadcasting.
Closing
In November 2006, Tina Kandelaki became the winner of the TEFI award in the “Talk Show Host” category thanks to this TV show. However, in the first half of 2007, the popular program disappeared from the air on STS due to low ratings of the latest episodes. The reason for the lower ratings is the lack of updating of the format. In addition, it was mentioned that over the four years of the program’s existence, Kandelaki managed to talk with almost all possible guests.
In the summer of 2007, they decided to revive the program in updated format. Tina Kandelaki began to host it together with Renata Litvinova and Kirill Serebrennikov. However, this format did not arouse much audience interest, and after New Year's holidays In 2008, the program was finally closed.
"Weak Link"
Start
The television game “The Weakest Link” on Russian television has become an analogue English The Weakest Link. In Russia, the program was launched on September 25, 2001. It immediately aroused increased interest among the audience and even divided it into two camps: some considered the game to be excessively cruel, revealing the most indecent qualities in people, while others, on the contrary, considered it interesting and exciting.
Rules of the game

A total of 6 rounds with 7 players, 7 rounds with 8 players, 8 rounds with 9 players and the final. The time for each round is limited (the duration of the first round is 2.5 minutes, each subsequent round is 10 seconds less), the time for thinking about the final questions is not limited.
A special feature of the transfer is the removal of one of the players at the end of each game round, which is done by voting of all players.
The first question of the first round is asked to the player whose name is first in alphabetical order (in subsequent rounds - to the strongest player of the previous round according to statistics, or if the strongest link has left the game, then the player with the first name in alphabetical order or the next strongest link in statistics starts the round), then the players answer in turn. In each round you can earn up to 50,000 rubles by building chains of correct answers. In the last round, any amount earned by participants is doubled (that is, you can earn up to 100,000 rubles). Most quick way earn the maximum amount - build a chain of 8 correct answers, in this case the round ends early.
Maria Kiseleva's jokes:
– Who is dragging the whole team down?
– Who got lost in three pines?
- Who has a head just to eat in it?
– Who is suitable for the slogan “Slower, lower, weaker”?
– Whose intelligence is at the baseboard level?
– Who will the team remove like a sore tooth?
Closing
The game aired on Channel One with Maria Kiseleva as host until July 2, 2005. Two years later, the license to produce its own version of the game was acquired by Channel Five; from December 2, 2007 to December 28, 2008, Nikolai Fomenko hosted the game.
"Peak hour"
Start
A popular television program of the VID television company in the genre of television interviews in the 90s, copied from the Larry King show Larry King Live, right down to the presenter's braces, is one of the programs that “changed the way Russians view television.” It aired live on Channel One Ostankino, and from April 3, 1995 on ORT from Monday to Thursday at 19:00. The first issue was released on May 30, 1994. Until March 1, 1995, the program was hosted by Vlad Listyev.
The essence of the program
The host of the program, Vlad Listyev, invited a guest to the studio, with whom he had conversations on current topics - over the years, Kristina Orbakaite, Yuri Nikulin, Yan Arlazorov and others visited the studio.
Closing
After the murder of Vlad Listyev on the evening of March 1, 1995, many assumed that the program would be closed, but it continued to air. On the evening of March 2, 1995, an episode of the program dedicated to Vlad Listyev was released, without a host. After the launch of ORT, from April 3 to September 28, 1995, the program was alternately hosted by Sergei Shatunov and Dmitry Kiselev, from October 2, 1995 to August 29, 1996, the program was alternately hosted by Dmitry Kiselev and Andrey Razbash. Since September 2, 1996, the talk show was hosted by Andrei Razbash. In February 1998, the program covered the Olympic Games in Nagano.
"Finest Hour"
Start
The children's television program began airing on Mondays on the ORT channel on October 19, 1992. Conducted in the format intellectual game. The first host of the program was actor Alexey Yakubov, but he was soon replaced by Vladimir Bolshov. The first few months of 1993 were hosted by Igor Bushmelev and Elena Shmeleva (Igor and Lena), from April 1993 to December 8, 2001, Sergei Suponev, who became the head of the program. Project by Vladislav Listyev.
Rules of the game
The game was played according to two fundamentally different systems of rules. To be precise, the rules differed even from game to game, in particular, the participation of parents in the rounds in the points season (in some rounds the host was released after the first) and the awarding of stars in the second.
Points season
The game consisted of three rounds and the final. 6 teams took part in the game, each of which consisted of a participant - a schoolchild of approximately 8-10 grades and one of his parents, less often a teacher or friend. Parents answered all questions at the same time as their children, earning them extra points. If the parent gave three incorrect answers, then he left the game. In the points season there was no “0” sign (there is no correct answer), no round. The difference between the first and second only affected the order in which the words were named in the final.
Star Season
A star was given for the correct answer of both the participant and the parent in the first and third rounds; in the second, the parent had the longest word, the participant had the longest word, and they received different quantities stars from game to game. The difference in stars gave a handicap in the final: the one who cannot say the word or give the star loses.
If all participants should receive a star on the same basis, then no one received it. It became especially important in the later games, since the record was 9 stars (+1 for opening a red box), and with that number no one reached the final: it was guaranteed that you could only get 3+2+2, in the first round you need three the player made a mistake, and in the third - so that the opponents give the correct answer to the same question or make a mistake.
Zero round
A gift for the presenter - a craft or a performance. At first, the presenter gave a star to those who cooked. But after everyone began to prepare, the star was given only to the best. Once the presenter gave a star the only participant who didn't prepare anything.
First tour
In the first round, participants were offered eight items or concepts indicated on a video board, and were asked questions to which these items were the answers. Answers were given by raising up tablets with numbers - answer numbers (respectively, from 1 to 8).
Second round
At the beginning of the second round, 10 large cubes with letters on the sides poured out of the pipe (later - 9 with a star replacing any letter). Those letters that ended up on the upper edges (looking up) were taken for the task. From these letters it was necessary to form words, using as many of the dropped letters as possible. The parents also composed the words. For the longest word among the parents, the participant received 50 points. For their words, all participants received 50 points for each letter. Later, a star was awarded for the participant's longest word, and another for the parent. In some cases, they got three if they matched.
There was also a game with the spectators according to the rules: the spectators who were the first to name each word, if it was the longest that was composed, came out. Then there was one prize: you had to guess which one (they took turns asking a question that could be answered “yes”/“no”). And receive a prize if the presenter answers “yes” to the exact, sometimes close, name of the item).
At least three players advanced to the third round. Those who composed the longest words came out first. Then those who composed shorter words but had the most points (stars). If the points were equal, everyone passed.
Prize competition
In the points season: the player who composed the longest word (if several, then the one who scored the most points in the 1st-2nd rounds; in case of a tie, an additional question was asked) had the right to choose a prize for himself. The prizes were hidden in five numbered boxes; you had to point to the right box. The player could keep the prize or open another one (up to three boxes). If two same number points (which was rare; equality was needed in the first round), then an additional question was asked.
In the star season: the player who composed the longest word (if more than one, then the one who scored the most stars) had the right to choose a prize for himself. The prizes were hidden in seven boxes of different colors and sizes; you had to point to the right box. A star was taken to open each box. If you don’t like the prize, you can leave it and open another one. In one of the boxes there was a star, giving the right to open another box for free. The red box may contain the best prize, but it may also be empty, after which it is impossible to open other boxes in any case (the rule was not introduced immediately). If two participants named a word of equal length and had an equal number of stars, they could open one box each, except for the red one. If there was a star, then he opened the second one for free, “Applause” - for a fee. Sometimes participants opened the boxes, and there was nothing there...
Third round
In the third round, 4 (later 3) objects or concepts appeared on the scoreboard. For each question, unlike the first round, different items appeared. It was necessary either to indicate which of the objects or concepts was superfluous, or by raising two signs at once to show which of the objects needed to be swapped so that they were located in a certain order. The evaluation was similar to the first round.
In the later games, parents did not answer the question, but only the first one to raise the sign and with the correct answer received it. The rule changed the strategy: for the leader (who reached the final) there was a theoretical opportunity to be the first to raise the sign, but it was necessary for both opponents to answer correctly or both to make a mistake, and to have previously scored equal amount stars The person lagging behind had to be the first to raise the sign, otherwise they would not advance to the finals. Only two players reached the final.
The final
In the finals, participants without parents (later with them) competed against each other, starting with smallest number points. The one who made the most wins short words from one long one. For a word named alone, he received 20 points. For a word named with a parent, +10. If during the game the player scored 1000 points and won the final, he won a super prize.
Closing
After tragic death host Sergei Suponev On December 8, 2001, the program ceased to exist. The last episode was broadcast on January 16, 2002. They did not find a replacement for the presenter, although they tried Sergei Belogolovtsev and Kirill Suponev as new presenters. In addition, many other ORT children's programs were closed, such as Call of the Jungle, as well as the broadcast of animated series at 15:30.
"Big Wash"
Start
The show was launched in July 2001, then still on the ORT channel. Presenter Andrei Malakhov recalls how his idea was born:
– I saw how popular talk shows and their hosts are in the USA: Larry King, Oprah Winfrey (Malakhov studied in America. – Website note). Moreover, they had been leading them for ten to fifteen years. And so, upon returning, in the corridors of Ostankino I met TV presenter Larisa Krivtsova (who later became the producer of The Big Streak - Antenna note), and she asked me if there were any fresh ideas. I shared my American impressions. Moreover, when talking about the talk show, I assumed that this was rather its format. But at the next meeting, she stunned me with the news that she had agreed with the channel’s management about a new program (it was “The Big Laundry”) and that I would host it.
This show gave me a boost stellar career Andrey.
Rules of the game
The slogan of the program: “One hour - this is the automatic mode of operation.” washing machine. Now, instead of the usual soap operas, housewives, having started their laundry, will watch an hour-long talk show.” For an hour, Malakhov talked with guests in the studio, discussing scandalous details of the personal lives of both stars and ordinary people. She went out on weekdays, first at four o’clock, then at five.
Closing
The program ceased to exist in 2004. But the format of the scandalous talk show on Channel One has not disappeared. “The Big Wash” simply changed its name. First on “Five Evenings”, and then on “Let Them Talk”.
"Both on!"
Start
Rules
The program was quite revolutionary for the then Soviet television. The graphic design is a black and white checkered pattern, and that was the meaning: it’s chess, a taxi, and a certain element of clownery. It was a satirical program, they joked both about people and about some events. One of the most bright numbers– “Funeral of Food”, a parody of the funeral of Soviet general secretaries. In addition to Ugolnikov, the team also included a member of the “Secret” group Nikolai Fomenko, Valdis Pelsh (he directed the first few episodes), actor Evgeny Voskresensky. It was in “Oba-na!” Nonna Grishaeva and Maria Aronova, then 3rd year students of the Shchukin School, began their careers.
Closing
After Nikolai Fomenko and Evgeniy Voskresensky left the program, it was renamed “Oba-na!” Corner show." The last episode aired on December 24, 1995.
In March 1991, the first in history started on ORT (Channel One). Russian television musical television talent competition - the program "Morning Star".
The host of the show, Yuri Nikolaev, introduced the country to many future celebrities, but in 2003 the program was displaced from the air by the reality “Star Factory”... We remembered the musicians who started on the stage of the “Morning Star”.
"Lyceum"
Anastasia Makarevich, Elena Perova and Isolda Ishkhanishvili shot in 1995 with the song “Autumn”. 4 years earlier, the girls warmed up on the stage of the Morning Star with the ABBA song “One of Us”. Prokhor Chaliapin
In 1999, Prokhor took third place on Zvezda with the song “Unreal Dream”. The future wife of the young artist was then 43 years old... Ani Lorak
In March 1995, a certain Carolina had already applied for “Morning Star,” so 17-year-old Carolina Kuek wrote her name backwards and, under an unusual pseudonym, sang the song in her native language. Valeria
In 1992, Valeria won the Morning Star. 22 years old was the maximum age to participate in the competition. Yulia Nachalova
Nachalova won at Zvezda in the same year as Valeria, only she was 10 years old at the time. Yulia competed in a different age category. Sergey Lazarev
Vlad Topalov
In 2001, Lazarev again appeared on the stage of “Stars” - already in the company of Vlad Topalov. The guys performed a song from the musical “Notre Dame de Paris”. Until the all-Russian hysteria over the Smash duet! There was just a little bit left. Seryozha and Vlad had no idea how many more times they would have to perform the famous “Belle”... Pelagia
In 1996, 10-year-old Pelageya won the Morning Star competition and received a thousand dollars! Angelica Varum
In 1990, Varum made her debut as an independent vocalist with the song “Midnight Cowboy,” and the following year the singer’s first album, “Good Bye, My Boy,” was released. Of course it was a bomb. Yuri Nikolaev, having made Yulia Malinovskaya the host of “Morning Star”, literally turned her life upside down Photo: from the archives of the Fidget Theater Studio
Yulia Malinovskaya - the main girl of the country
This is what journalists dubbed Yulia. And all thanks to Yuri Nikolaev. He played a significant role in the fate of each of the “fidgets”. But Malinovskaya’s life was literally turned upside down.
While working on the concept of your new program“Morning Star”, Yuri Alexandrovich decided that his co-host should be a little girl. First it was Masha Bogdanova. But she grew up, and the organizers had to look for a new candidate for this role. Yura turned to me:
Do you have anyone in mind?
I answered:
Of course! - and showed him Vlad Topalov’s sister Alina and Yulia Malinovskaya, whom Nikolaev already knew a little from filming in the program. The choice fell on her.
I remember their first appearance on stage. Nikolaev says:
Well? Shall we get acquainted? My name is Yuri Alexandrovich, what about you?
Julia! - Malinovskaya answered loudly. And after being silent for a second, she added weightily: “Vladimirovna!”
Her spontaneity and organic nature amazed both Nikolaev and the entire film crew.
I have heard the legend a million times that it was no coincidence that Julia appeared on the air of “Morning Star”. Like, behind her thin back stood someone so powerful that even Nikolaev could not resist him. Or that someone incredibly rich brought a giant bag of money to the Morning Star editorial office. All I could do was laugh: I knew perfectly well how everything really was.
Yulia, her mother and sister lived in a tiny Khrushchev building; they had neither rich nor influential relatives. For the fact that Malinovskaya became “the main girl of the country” for several years - once a week she had an hour of airtime in the prime time of the highest-rated channel - we must thank only Yulia herself, her talent and hard work. And also Yuri Alexandrovich, who gave the girl a chance.
They formed a wonderful tandem. One day Nikolaev had to announce a number and leave the stage, leaving Yulia alone. He says to the audience: “I’m leaving you, Yulechka remains in charge of the eldest!” And Malinovskaya suddenly extends her hand to Nikolaev and sings with enthusiasm: “Don’t go away, stay with me!” How Yuri Alexandrovich laughed! I didn’t expect such agility from the co-host at all.
Behind the scenes, the “fidgets” often parodied each other and famous artists. I remember Yulka portraying Irina Allegrova, it was so funny! She saw this, came up and asked in surprise:
Am I really that terrible at spreading my legs?
“There is a little,” answered the impudent little one. Someone else in her place would have fainted from fear upon hearing the famous artist’s question. But not Julia!
Malinovskaya had good reason to feel like a real star. Everywhere we went, there was a line of people eager to get an autograph outside her dressing room. Julia was recognized everywhere, pulled at her, and not allowed to pass. To be honest, the girl was dizzy from such fame. And who could resist? But “Fidgets” managed to overcome this disease. It helped that we all felt like one. Let’s say, if on Sunday Yulia hosted “Morning Star”, on Monday she performed in the number “Fidget”, singing backup with Seryozha Lazarev or Nastya Zadorozhnaya. This approach greatly sobered up our “stars”: their arrogance disappeared instantly. In addition, I had a secret ritual: when we went on tour somewhere, before lights out, I sat the guys in a circle and each one in turn said what he thought about his comrade. This helped not to accumulate anger and tension in the children.

Competition rules
Two performers took part in the competition. Participants were divided into 4 genres: vocal genre(age from 3 to 15 years), dance genre(age from 15 to 22 years), vocal genre (age from 15 to 22 years) and dance genre (age from 3 to 15 years). The participants' performances were evaluated by a jury of four people. The assessment was carried out using a 5-point system, then the presenters from these assessments calculated the amount of points received by the competition participants. The participant who received the highest a large amount passed to the next round, the participant who scored fewer points was eliminated from the competition. If the participants scored the same amount of points, then the presenter asked the contestants to alternately sing a verse from a song or dance a fragment from a dance. Then he asked the jury members to recalculate the participants’ scores. If after recalculation the total points are the same, then both participants advanced to the next round. Also in 1991-1992, the program included a competition for TV presenters among girls. In this competition, presenter Yuri Nikolaev chose participants not for the role of his co-hosts, but for applicants who would be able to work on television. First, a video clip of the participant was shown on the screens installed in the hall, and then the participant went on stage, accompanied by the presenter. Then there was a short conversation (usually the participants answered the moderator’s questions), after which the jury gave marks to each of the participants. There was also a "Freestyle" competition hosted by Maria Bogdanova. After Yuri Nikolaev's partner changed, the competition was cancelled. Also, the program, together with the New Names Foundation, held a competition for young classical music performers, which was judged in the same way as the pop one. Since 1993, the scenery has changed in the program. The screens disappeared, and in their place a musical staff appeared. The rules of the competition have also changed. The participant who scored the highest amount of points approached stave and with the help of notes with numbers he chose an opponent with whom he was to compete in the next round. Also, the children's vocal genre was divided into two categories: from 3 to 9 years old and from 9 to 15 years old, and a folklore competition was added.
Closing the transfer
In 2002, the general director of Channel One, Konstantin Ernst, despite any persuasion from Yuri Nikolaev, took “Morning Star” off the air, which, in his opinion, could prevent the viewer from perceiving the new project “Star Factory”. The program moved to the TVC channel, where it aired for a year. The last episode of the program was released on August 3, 2003.
On October 3, 2016, the resumption of the program was announced and the competition website was opened now for admission to the semi-finals. It is necessary to obtain a majority of votes from registered Internet users. New nominations have been added: cinema, freestyle and family

Notes
Excerpt characterizing Morning Star (TV show)
“Countess,” the count’s voice was heard from behind the door. -Are you awake? – Natasha jumped up barefoot, grabbed her shoes and ran into her room.She couldn't sleep for a long time. She kept thinking that no one could understand everything that she understood and that was in her.
"Sonya?" she thought, looking at the sleeping, curled up cat with her huge braid. “No, where should she go!” She is virtuous. She fell in love with Nikolenka and doesn’t want to know anything else. Mom doesn’t understand either. It’s amazing how smart I am and how... she’s nice,” she continued, speaking to herself in the third person and imagining that some very smart person was talking about her, the smartest and most good man... “She has everything, everything,” the man continued, “she’s extraordinarily smart, sweet and then good, extraordinarily good, dexterous, swims, rides perfectly, and has a voice! One might say, an amazing voice!” She sang her favorite musical phrase from the Cherubini Opera, threw herself on the bed, laughed with the joyful thought that she was about to fall asleep, shouted to Dunyasha to put out the candle, and before Dunyasha had time to leave the room, she had already passed into another, even happier world of dreams , where everything was as easy and wonderful as in reality, but it was only even better, because it was different.
The next day, the countess, inviting Boris to her place, talked with him, and from that day he stopped visiting the Rostovs.
On December 31, on New Year's Eve 1810, le reveillon [night supper], there was a ball at Catherine's nobleman's house. The diplomatic corps and the sovereign were supposed to be at the ball.
The Promenade des Anglais shone with countless illumination lights famous house nobles. At the illuminated entrance with a red cloth stood the police, and not only gendarmes, but the police chief at the entrance and dozens of police officers. The carriages drove off, and new ones drove up with red footmen and footmen with feathered hats. Men in uniforms, stars and ribbons came out of the carriages; ladies in satin and ermine carefully stepped down the noisily laid down steps, and hurriedly and silently walked along the cloth of the entrance.
Almost every time a new carriage arrived, there was a murmur in the crowd and hats were taken off.
“Sovereign?... No, minister... prince... envoy... Don’t you see the feathers?...” said from the crowd. One of the crowd, better dressed than the others, seemed to know everyone, and called by name the most noble nobles of that time.
Already one third of the guests had arrived at this ball, and the Rostovs, who were supposed to be at this ball, were still hastily preparing to dress.
There was a lot of talk and preparation for this ball in the Rostov family, a lot of fears that the invitation would not be received, the dress would not be ready, and everything would not work out as needed.
Along with the Rostovs, Marya Ignatievna Peronskaya, a friend and relative of the countess, a thin and yellow maid of honor of the old court, leading the provincial Rostovs in the highest St. Petersburg society, went to the ball.
At 10 o'clock in the evening the Rostovs were supposed to pick up the maid of honor at the Tauride Garden; and yet it was already five minutes to ten, and the young ladies were not yet dressed.
Natasha was going to the first big ball in her life. That day she got up at 8 o'clock in the morning and was in feverish anxiety and activity all day. All her strength, from the very morning, was aimed at ensuring that they all: she, mother, Sonya were dressed in the best possible way. Sonya and the Countess trusted her completely. The countess was supposed to be wearing a masaka velvet dress, the two of them were wearing white smoky dresses on pink, silk covers with roses in the bodice. The hair had to be combed a la grecque [in Greek].
Everything essential had already been done: the legs, arms, neck, ears were already especially carefully, like a ballroom, washed, perfumed and powdered; they were already wearing silk, fishnet stockings and white satin shoes with bows; the hairstyles were almost finished. Sonya finished dressing, and so did the Countess; but Natasha, who was working for everyone, fell behind. She was still sitting in front of the mirror with a peignoir draped over her slender shoulders. Sonya, already dressed, stood in the middle of the room and, pressing painfully with her small finger, pinned the last ribbon that squealed under the pin.
“Not like that, not like that, Sonya,” said Natasha, turning her head away from her hair and grabbing the hair with her hands, which the maid who was holding it did not have time to let go. - Not like that, come here. – Sonya sat down. Natasha cut the tape differently.
“Excuse me, young lady, you can’t do this,” said the maid holding Natasha’s hair.
- Oh, my God, well, later! That's it, Sonya.
-Are you coming soon? – the countess’s voice was heard, “it’s already ten.”
- Now. -Are you ready, mom?
- Just pin the current.
“Don’t do it without me,” Natasha shouted, “you won’t be able to!”
- Yes, ten.
It was decided to be at the ball at half past ten, and Natasha still had to get dressed and stop by the Tauride Garden.
Having finished her hair, Natasha, in a short skirt, from which her ballroom shoes were visible, and in her mother’s blouse, ran up to Sonya, examined her and then ran to her mother. Turning her head, she pinned the current, and, barely having time to kiss her gray hair, again ran to the girls who were hemming her skirt.
The issue was Natasha's skirt, which was too long; Two girls were hemming it, hastily biting the threads. The third, with pins in her lips and teeth, ran from the Countess to Sonya; the fourth held her entire smoky dress on her raised hand.
- Mavrusha, rather, my dear!
Each of us has watched at least once musical show « Star Factory" This show gave our stage many young talents. Perhaps, if they had not come to the casting, their fate would have been completely different, and modern hits would not have been played from the speakers of our radios.
However, few people remember that “Star Factory” was preceded by a television competition “ morning star", which was broadcast on the ORT channel (Channel One). But it was here that Sergei Lazarev, Ani Lorak, Valeria and other modern performers performed for the first time. Let's remember how it was.
Sergey Lazarev
Young Seryozha came to the program with behind him musical experience. He was a member children's ensemble"Fidgets." In 1997, he won the Morning Star competition with his song “My way”.
Angelica Varum
No one knew about Angelica's talent until 1990, when she performed on the show with the song "Midnight Cowboy." The next year, the whole country sang her songs from the album “Good Bye, My Boy.”
Valeria

For young talents“Morning Star” became a ticket to the big stage. It was thanks to this project that children had the opportunity to express themselves.
However, there were also critics of this program. Thus, pianist Nikolai Petrov spoke about the program as follows: “ “Morning Star,” in my opinion, is one of the worst programs on our television. Little children of seven years old are forced to be exposed to Moiseev and Pugacheva. I feel sorry for these children and their parents».
The author of popular children's programs, Sergei Suponev, also spoke unflatteringly about the competition: “ “Morning Star” is swarming with children like frogs, but it is not a children's program. This is a program for old grandmothers who, having neither taste nor a modern understanding of music, are simply touched by children in tuxedos and ties singing famous songs pop stars».
