The Antenna journalist went behind the scenes of the Channel One show, took a polygraph test and found out why liars get on pointe and who made the presenter cry.

In movies, we have seen hundreds of times how villains fool the lie detector. They lie and don't blush. There are countless ways to outwit a device on the Internet: starting from breathing exercises and ending with recommendations to bite your tongue during the test or prick yourself with a button. Is it really that simple?

Portrait in five minutes

Theater begins with a hanger, and “Actually” begins with a room where polygraph experts work Roman Ustyuzhanin And Igor Fedorov. This is where program participants are tested before it begins. That is, the questions that we hear during the broadcast are asked behind the scenes.

I can bet any amount that it only takes me five minutes to describe a person,” says Roman.

And I get a sheet with simple test. We manage in a minute, and Roman asks me to write one sentence that I agree to talk with him for seven hours, and sign below. We spend a couple more minutes asking questions about what area I live in, the dog from my childhood, my classmates. And I get a portrait of myself, down to such details that I had a single-parent family (we did not touch on this topic), I was selective in my friends, I was fond of creativity as a child, and so on. In principle, almost everything coincided. The thought even crept in that Roman had a polygraph built into him.

A lie detector looks like a small box with wires and sensors that connects to a laptop. The device captures readings such as breathing, hand tremors, changes blood pressure, pulse, sweating. That is, everything that a person can fluctuate as a result of excitement, he measures without missing anything.

Before testing begins, I, like all participants in the TV show, sign an agreement that I came to it of my own free will and have no complaints. Igor turns on the polygraph and we begin. I tell truthfully about the past - school studies, grades, I try to meditate, control my breathing and decide to lie. On a question about sports. The polygraph immediately catches my lie. But I was calm, like a boa constrictor: I didn’t steal a million, I just denied that I was going to fitness. However, the machine figured out this harmless deception. It was like she looked into my bag and found a club membership.

I'll torture you and play

In order to understand in what state of a person I can ask him questions, I need to first study his reactions,” explains Roman. - For example, you have arrhythmia, that is, your heart rate differs from normal, this must be taken into account during the study and taken as a background indicator, and not a stressful one. As for attempts to cheat, there is a basic method of working on this device, when the specialist has questions already prepared, and the person needs to answer them “yes” or “no”. What is important here is not even the person being tested, but the polygraph examiner. During the program, we do not act according to the scheme from the textbook, but conduct a conversation. I can see which issue is insignificant for the show participant, and which one he is worried about. And I’ll deliberately cling to the second one and torture him to death. That is, I will also play.

Truth - in the room, on stage - performance

Polygraph examiners conduct mandatory preliminary testing of guests before the start of the program, says the host Dmitry Shepelev. - This is important in order to obtain reliable information and avoid any inaccuracies. Final results testing sounds already in the studio. Only specialists know the answer in advance; they don’t tell me anything at all until the moment I say on the recording: “So is this true or is this a lie?” I will not hide that the truth is often simply amazing.

Set"In fact"

While talking with participants behind the scenes, polygraph examiners always work in pairs. They control each other so as not to miss anything.

We will find out the whole truth in this room,” says Roman.

Viewers can also feel like polygraph examiners, guessing when the characters are lying, watching the heroes’ pulse behind their backs and noticing at what moments the pulse rises. You can also analyze the pulses of the heroes. By the way, record figures were achieved by Alexey Panin and his wife. When I was sitting in a chair Diana Shurygina, you could clearly see which questions she was calm about and which ones she was nervous about.

Read your feet

In "Actually" bring people to clean water It’s not just smart technology that helps. Profiler, specialist in facial expressions and gestures Sabina Pantus liars are no less afraid. The air conditioning in her dressing room is on quite high. I sit on the edge of the sofa, interlace my legs, and we start talking about “closed” poses. Just one of those that I automatically accepted.

Regular experts of the show Roman Ustyuzhanin, Sabina Pantus and guest specialist - lawyer Alexander Dobrovinsky

This position of the arms and legs is not always an attempt to lie or move away, it’s a matter of habit, comfort and context, for example, the chair on which a person is sitting,” says Sabina, as if reading me, and I actually feel more comfortable and warmer this way. - Therefore, you should not focus on them. I always look at the legs, because liars often have them in a dancer's position, that is, on tiptoes, which is very uncomfortable. Just imagine how a man with shoe size forty-five takes his feet under the table and stands on them, like on pointe shoes, for half an hour. This happens unconsciously. The man is in such dangerous topic conversation that does not notice his discomfort. When the body suddenly begins to slide and go limp, this is also a sign that the hero has been plunged into some kind of feeling of guilt, they started talking about something uncomfortable, and he has lost his support. But here it is important to understand that not a single sign taken out of context is in itself evidence. For example, there are psychotypes who fidget all the time and cannot sit still, but for them such behavior is the norm. Therefore, the first thing I do is determine the psychotype by basic movements person and identify what is atypical for him. For the purity of the experiment, I do not communicate with the participants before the start of the show. In our program, people gesture a little, so body posture, facial expressions and the structure of speech remain for “reading”: slips of the tongue, evasions, reticence, attempts to chat, answer a question with a question, and so on.

Bent over means he's lying

If a person takes time to think, then at that moment a choice is made: to tell the truth, not the whole truth, partly, completely untruth, avoid answering, and other options,” continues Sabina. - As a rule, when there is a pause, you don’t have to wait for the whole truth. But a direct question implies a direct answer. The person involved most often believes that it is not enough to simply say “No, I didn’t do this,” he says: “Why would I do this, how could I do this?” But I’m not interested in why or how. I'm asking if you did.

Sometimes the opposite situation happens - they answer you briefly “no”. Then I look at the participant and remain silent. Then he realizes that one word is not enough, something else needs to be said, and he begins to unwind.

With facial expressions everything is more complicated, it is short-term, only 2-3 seconds. What you need to pay attention to: When a person says how much he likes you, but at the same time his face shows disgust. Such inconsistencies are outright lies. If the body suddenly warps, the need to bend appears - this triggers defense mechanisms at the level of the central nervous system. In the process of lying, no matter how much we want, we cannot control our body one hundred percent.

Diana Shurygina, with the parents of a boy detained by the police for reading poetry on Arbat. The truth can be very difficult.

Particularly difficult was the issue dedicated to Lyudmila Porgina and her role in fate Nikolai Karachentsov. We talked a lot about taking care of my husband after tragic accident, about accusations against her that she is indirectly guilty of what happened. At the end of the program, Nikolai Petrovich himself was helped up onto the stage. He moves in wheelchair. After the accident, doctors gave the actor no more than two years to live. Twelve have passed. I was simply shocked by his will to fight, his courage to accept circumstances, his thirst to live. Memories of similar difficult trials that befell me came flooding back. I couldn’t stand it and cried because I felt real pride and admiration for this couple.

“A revolutionary talk show that helps people sort out relationships” - these were the words that Channel One presented to viewers with the program “Actually”, hosted by Dmitry Shepelev. Using a lie detector and devices that track the heroes' pulse, experts in the studio are trying to get to the bottom of the truth and solve conflict situations. Each issue is actively discussed by users. Read what they think about the new talk show in the material from AiF.ru. 

Ira Bebekina

Exactly a minute was enough to understand that the program was uninteresting... everything was staged, exaggerated as usual, plus editing. AND Malakhov got blown away with his “Let them talk”, and this program will not have a high rating. “The truth and only the truth...” Yeah, lie more! When was the truth shown on TV? I don't remember.

Katerina

Dima. You are so charismatic, with such a wonderful, childish look, melodious voice. Well, why do you need all this kitchen rubbish?

Ruslan Xamini

Dmitry, the show is good!!! And don’t pay attention to bad and envious comments. Not everyone understands what it’s like to lose a loved one and raise your son on your own. Well done to you for being able to cope with all the difficulties and create a program. Good luck in your work to you and your team who are making the transfer with you.

Sergey Shedko

Close this show altogether, why is there such dirt on Channel One? family problems must remain within the family, to what extent do you have to stoop to delve into someone else's dirty laundry.

Anastasia Starostina

“Let them talk” is better than this garbage... especially the presenter (I don’t care about his past)...

angelochek321

I don't like the presenter. I don’t know who he is and why everyone hates him, but I just don’t like him. Uninteresting, bland, the only thing there is appearance.

O- Zone

Thank you, Dmitry. It's nice to listen to you. Don't pay attention to people's mean comments. Health to you and your family.

 Inna Shmygelsky

If Channel One plans to replace Malakhov with Shepelev, the replacement will be unequal and viewers will not accept it. Malakhov is the most talented journalist and TV presenter on TV, and no one can reach his level.

Nafisa Utegenova

Shepelev does not know how to host such programs, it is very boring and uninteresting.

Olga Alexandrova

What is airtime spent on... So much worthy people lives in our country and in the world, which we will never know about... It’s all sad...

Vasilina Koshkina

“Let them talk”, this program has outlived its usefulness! This new talk show with experts in lies, it is more truthful, and the heroes try to tell the truth. I am sure that such a number of views indicates that people are interested in watching well-known situations from a different angle of truth! “Actually” shows victims and executioners from different sides... Shepelev is in his place here...

Oksana Gerveliene

You know, Dmitry, you seem like a good, smart man, you inspire sympathy, you present the program really well, it’s pleasant to listen to you, you keep everyone under control, there is no characteristic yelling, but... give up this project so that they flash Panin And Danko. And in this case, it has already become a common name from the series of Sharikovs, Plyushkins and similar literary characters.

Vera Maslova

Guys! How I like you all! No one likes the show, but we all watch to the end and write comments! Dima, well done!

On August 31 and September 4, the “Actually” program with Dmitry Shepelev was dedicated to the story of rape victim Diana Shurygina. At one time, this incident caused a lot of noise and provoked active discussions on the Internet. Not all Internet users believed in the girl’s sincerity. Some of them sided with Sergei Semenov, who is serving a sentence in a colony.

Blogger Nikolai Sobolev dedicated a new video to the program, in which a native of Ulyanovsk was tested with a lie detector. It was stated that Diana Shurygina would finally prove that she was right and put an end to the heated discussions and accusations of slander. The Internet activist emphasized that he did not plan to express his opinion about this story, since it had already died down somewhat and many had become tired of it.

“All of you, most likely, have been shaking from this name for a long time,” Sobolev suggested.

However, Nikolai’s fans asked him to record a video dedicated to the “Actually” program. To a young man I had to meet the subscribers halfway.

“This is exactly the demand that creates supply. Viewers want to watch these talk shows and once again discuss these programs. Well done, guys, at this rate we will soon get a new show “Battle of Psychics” with Diana Shurygina, in which a drunken Pakhom will walk around her and draw pentagrams,” the blogger sarcastically noted.

In his video, Sobolev showed the finale of the program with Shepelev, in which the polygraph examiner states that Shurygina is not lying when she claims rape.

“It’s so funny that a year later they continue to sort out something in this story, while pretending that the lie detector is determining something. No, seriously, have you gone crazy or something, Shepelev? (...) Why deceive people so brazenly? It has long been proven that lie detector readings are absolutely not scientific nonsense. Guys, not a single lie detector in the world can determine whether it is a lie or the truth. Absolutely all his readings are read by a polygraph examiner, that is, a human. And anyone can make mistakes and blatantly lie,” says the blogger.

A talk show on Channel One, in which there is a confrontation between people who were once close.

Airing time: on weekdays at 18:45.

Leading talk-shock " In fact" became Dmitry Shepelev. In the program, by his own example, he tries to show the heroes of the show who came to the studio how important it is to openly discuss problems and tell the truth.

About the show Actually

The lie broke the relationships of people who decided to participate in the show “Actually,” but could not completely destroy them. There's only one way to change the course personal stories that will be told in the project: tell the truth to each other's eyes. Only truth and honesty can both separate people and bring them together again. After all, sometimes even the direct participants in the events themselves do not fully understand what and how actually happened.

The participants of “Actually” were men and women who were once close, but had a falling out. Dmitry Shepelev will try to do everything to talk show characters finally heard each other and forgave past grievances.

Dmitry Shepelev said on the eve of the premiere of the “Actually” project: “In every dispute there are two truths. And even if you are confident that you are right, it is important whether you can hear the other. The question is, are you both ready to find out the whole truth? And I’ll add: it’s impossible to lie in our studio.”

Dmitry Shepelev was chosen by the creators of the project to play the role of host of “Actually” for a reason: he knows exactly what it is like to be in the epicenter of a conflict. After the death of Zhanna Friske, the showman was often accused of lies and hypocrisy, but he managed to defend his right to raise his son Plato.

“A lie can ruin a person’s life, destroy his career, his family, his future. For a long time I was covered with this lie, I know how hard it is to live with it. In this program I want to help other people hear each other, find out the truth and find out what is really happening to them. I always wanted to host a talk show on Channel One. The time has finally come for it to happen. “I’m coming home,” Shepelev commented on his participation in the project.

The very first episode of the show “Actually,” aired on Channel One on July 24, became scandalous and was heatedly discussed by the public. The hero of the program became scandalous famous actor Alexey Panin. In the studio he came face to face with his ex-wife, with whom she is suing for her daughter Anya. Yulia Yudintseva, Panin’s ex-beloved, began to insult Panin from the first minutes of the broadcast, and as a result, the couple was never able to reconcile for the sake of their daughter’s peace of mind.

The second episode of the show was also loud. This time the singer Danko and his common-law wife Natalya Ustyumenko. The couple is raising a daughter, Agatha, whom doctors have given a serious diagnosis: the girl will never be able to walk, see or hear. Unexpectedly for everyone, the singer began to talk about the fact that his wife Natalya may have given birth to Agatha not from him, but from a certain Swiss millionaire. Danko decided to use a lie detector to find out whether the woman he loved was cheating on him. At the end of the program, it turned out with the help of a DNA test that Agatha was still Danko’s daughter and the couple left the studio together to the delight of presenter Dmitry Shepelev.

In addition, descendants came to the studio to find out the truth using a lie detector. Leonid Brezhnev who shared the inheritance; singer Pierre Narcisse with my wife who told how Pierre beat her and how she and her daughter fled. Due to problems in the family, Valeria filed for divorce and moved in with her mother, but Pierre continues to persecute and tyrannize the family to this day.

Many TV viewers are interested in presenters scandalous program“Actually” on Channel One.

The program, in fact, is a new revolutionary talk show, where there is a confrontation between people who were there before close ones, and then broke off the relationship, although, as it turns out, not completely. The reason for the breakup, in most cases, was a lie, and now only the truth can help find out what really happened and reunite these people or finally separate them.

The host of the program, which is his own show, Dmitry Shepelev, himself experienced loss, betrayal and deception in the past, and now he is ready to help the participants of the program talk frankly with each other, finding out the whole truth. Moreover, in this he is helped by the experts of the program “Actually” - a profiler, that is, a specialist who can understand by facial expressions and gestures how sincere a person is, as well as polygraph examiners. As you know, guests of the program are connected to a lie detector, and experts during the conversation can accurately tell whether a person is lying or not when answering questions.

However, the first episode of the program, the guests of which were actor Alexey Panin and his ex-wife, turned out to be so scandalous that even Shepelev himself did not expect this, and many television viewers responded negatively to the new show. Nevertheless, it arouses interest, and a certain part of the viewing audience is looking forward to new episodes of the program.

Many TV viewers are interested in how the program “Actually” is filmed and how much they pay. In addition to the main characters– the presenter, experts, the heroes themselves and some of their acquaintances close circle There are so-called extras in the hall. Naturally, for participation as a viewer in this program, as in other shows that appear on television, people are paid a fee, the amount of which is determined by the organizers of the program, but on average it is 50-100 rubles per hour of filming.
