The videos were shown in the “You’re Having a Baby” section. They told about children from orphanages who were waiting for adoptive parents.

The host of “While Everyone is Home,” Timur Kizyakov, told RBC that the Dom television company, which was producing the program, itself decided to stop collaborating with Channel One.
According to him, the Dom television company sent an official letter about the termination of cooperation to Channel One on May 28. “[The letter] is official. We have it in our outgoing papers, with an outgoing number registered when received by Channel One,” he clarified.
“The brief content of the letter can be formulated as follows: the methods that the management of Channel One began to adhere to are unacceptable to us, so we are stopping cooperation,” Kizyakov said in a conversation with RBC.

Later, in a conversation with RBC, Kizyakov said that he had a “different” interpretation of the “story” that the channel made its decision “on the basis of some scandals.”

“I interpret it differently. The channel now needs to save face at all costs and find reasons so that the reason is in them,” said the TV presenter.

Airtime: long-lived programs on Russian television
According to Kizyakov himself, in December 2016 he and his colleagues became victims of a “colossal hoax” that they were making money by filming videos about children in need of adoption.
He noted that at that time Channel One simply stepped aside and pretended not to know them, and only now found a way to “somehow save face.”
The fact that the companies Videopassport of the Child LLC, Videopassport-Tula LLC and the Videopassport charitable foundation, which belong to the creators of the While Everyone Is Home program, received funding in the amount of about 110 million rubles. to create videos about orphans from the Ministry of Education and Science and at the same time from regional authorities, the Vedomosti newspaper reported at the end of December 2016.

When asked by RBC about where 100 new videos about orphans, the production of which is provided for by this contract, will now be broadcast, Kizyakov explained that according to the contract, only a small part of the stories are aired. “According to the agreement, we do not have to show 100 passports, but we have to show a much smaller number on air and make an on-air version. According to the agreement, the Ministry of Education pays for the production of video passports, we undertake information support for video passports, which includes broadcasts, but not necessarily in the program “While everyone is at home”, the main thing is that it reaches a large audience. And we guarantee it. We will definitely show [the video clips provided for in the contract], they will go on air,” Kizyakov explained. Kizyakov could not answer the question about which channel the stories would be broadcast on. “We’ll think about it now,” he said.

The program that sent the country “crazy”

“While everyone is at home” - real symbol era. The first episode aired on November 8, 1992, during the period of traumatic shock from the collapse of the USSR. There was very little positive content on TV at that time. Therefore, Sunday gatherings with tea were a real outlet for the audience, and the host Timur Kizyakov quickly became a star no less than those to whom he came.

An error occurred while loading.

For the poor of the 1990s, the column “Crazy Hands” was a godsend, in which the inventor Andrei Bakhmetyev, together with Kizyakov, created simple crafts from scrap materials. The most popular of them were, of course, plastic bottles, from which Bakhmetyev seemed ready to assemble anything - even a space station.

In 1996 and 2006, “While Everyone is Home” won the TEFI Award in the “Best Educational Program” category.

Over the quarter century of its existence, the program has become so recognizable that, perhaps, there were no major humorous projects, wherever they joke about her, starting from parodies in “” and ending with hurricane numbers in.

“While everyone is at home” spoiled the “children's question”?

TV critics frowned, believing that the format of the program was outdated, just as Timur Kizyakov himself was outdated after 25 years of continuous tea drinking. And yet, at first glance, nothing foreshadowed the current turn of events.

However, back in December 2016, at a seminar-meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets, the head of the Ministry of Education and Science Olga Vasilyeva drew the attention of the regions to the dishonest work of foundations for placing children in families. Vasilyeva also mentioned the “While everyone is at home” program, in which since 2006 there has been a section “You will have a child”, which helps in the adoption of children left without parental care. The program prepared so-called video passports of children, and the minister noted that filming video passports of orphans for adoption funds is big problem. According to Vasilyeva, it is precisely because of such funds that there is a high return of children in the regions.

At the same time, information surfaced that the column “You will have a child” allegedly receives additional funding from the funds that Minister Vasilyeva spoke about.

Timur Kizyakov: Channel One’s methods are unacceptable to us

Sources at Channel One claim that the decision to terminate cooperation with Timur Kizyakov was made back in the spring. The “hole” in the Sunday broadcast schedule is called upon to be filled by the new show “”.

On Channel One, the exodus of TV presenters who have worked there for almost decades continues.

On Tuesday, news came that the television company would no longer buy the program “While Everyone Is Home.”

This is due to the scandal that began last year. The charitable part of Kizyakov’s program - the section “You will have a child” - was accused by critics of additional funding.

Channel One then expressed bewilderment about this.

“We are buying the “While everyone is at home” program from the Dom company (formerly TMK and “While everyone is at home”). Since we are not involved in the creation of the project, we do not know the details of the authors’ relationships with government organizations, including financial ones. We have always considered charitable projects to be an important matter, and, of course, the column about orphans was welcomed by the channel. The information you provide is news to us. We’ll sort it out,” the kp.ru website quoted the response of the television company’s press service in December 2016.

“Happy work with and for children in the most different projects, films and television programs has been accompanying me for a long time. "You are super! Dancing" - unique project NTV, which you want to be involved in! For many years, being the host of popular television shows various formats, I always tried to become a protector, support, comrade and friend for the participants. Especially for children,” NTV.Ru website quotes Oleshko. — As a child, I myself, dreaming of becoming an artist, studied in a variety of studios and clubs, including dancing. And for some time he was part of the children's group of the legendary dance ensemble“JOK.” Therefore, I know firsthand how important kind word and support. I want our young dancers to open up and show everything they are capable of. Each of them is super!”
