New Year's appeal Alla Pugacheva, NTV

On the night of January 1, 1995, right in front of the chimes, instead of the New Year's appeal of the President, Alla Pugacheva was shown on NTV television. In it, she said to the Russians: “It is difficult to admit, but for the most part we are illiterate - both politically and economically. <...> I would like - if not in the new year, then in the future - so that we become gentlemen of our life, life, based not on aggression, not on wars, not on poverty, not on immorality - but on comfort, comfort, well -being in every family.

Kiss of Ivan Urgant and Hugh Jackman, Channel One "

To raise the topic of LGBT has been common for Russian television since the 1990s to the adoption of the Law on the ban on LGBT propaganda among minors in 2013. In the 2000s, homosexual relations increasingly began to beat in a humorous manner-and with varying degrees of ethics. One of the most striking episodes occurred on the First Channel, where Hugh Jackman and Ivan Urgant kissed on the air of the Plant -Planeperischilton program.

In general, the “Pro -Petroischilton” now looks like an incredible project for Russian television. World celebrities came on the air, and the format in which several comedians are going to read the news have repeatedly tried to repeat other television channels. For example, the “Girls” program came out on “Russia-1”, and “Song of the Day” on STS.

"Plant -Peterischilton" lasted from 2008 to 2012. In 2017, the program was revived for a short time, but the participants did not allow the participants to joke on important topics, and not foreign stars became guests, but statesmen like Maria Zakharova and Natalia Poklonskaya. “It seems that the audience and we seemed to be disappointed with this attempt,” said Ivan Urgant. Another presenter, comedian Sergey Svetlakov, confirmed that the program closed precisely because of censorship.

Ivan Urgant quotes Femactivist Daria Serenko, “Channel One”

After the “Pro -PotterShilton”, the “evening Urgant” became the most “acute” entertainment program in Russia. In addition to attempts to circumvent the censorship of the state television channel, the editors and participants tried to be closer to the young generation. For example, in 2020, Valery Meladze and Urgant talked about the reasons for the popularity of the singer among young people, reading the threads of the tweet of Daria Serenko - feminist, and now the coordinating of “feminist anti -war resistance”.

The most surrealist in this video is not even that just a couple of years ago on the “First Channel”, quotes of opposition activists could read, and that now it is impossible to imagine there either Urgant or Meladze, who openly expressed their anti -war position on February 24.

Pugacheva and Rotaru perform “They will not catch up with us”, “Russia 1”

Now the emergence of a world LGBT gimn in Russia seems incredible. The Tattoo was known for their scandalous performances. For example, in 2001, at the MTV festival in Sochi, they performed the song “Boy-gay”, depicting oral sex.

"A truce" and Zelensky, NTV

According to the show “I want V VIA GRU” (the International Musical Show, which was published in the fall of 2013 on NTV) clearly visible how much the Ukrainian and Russian show business were connected: for example, the show director Alan Badoev (famous on Orlu and Trino, which now shoots a documentary about the war), was engaged in the production of Vladimir Zelensky Gaudi Stadio.
