In 2017, a new provocative project, Decider, was released on the Che channel, which was rather ambiguously perceived by the audience. Reviews about "Reshal" are very different: someone is completely delighted with the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe program, and someone calls everything that happens in the program a cheap theater. What opinions about this program are more, what shortcomings are noted by almost all viewers, and also who is the Decider really? About all this further.

The main idea of ​​the program

The program positions itself as a textbook that clearly shows how to take money from the population, as well as various fraudulent schemes. The host of the program solves the problems of the people who turned to him, brings the criminals to clean water and punishes them. Often, the most vulnerable categories of citizens become victims of insidious scammers: pensioners, women, children. It is they who, in most cases, become participants in the releases.

In order to contact the project leader, you need to fill out a form on the channel's official website or write directly to Vlad Chizhov in personal messages on the VKontakte social network, where he already has more than 5,000 friends. When contacting the program through the channel's website, you will need to communicate with the editor and describe to him the situation that happened to you. The editors of the channel may refuse to help without explanation.

Project leader

The role of Reshala was played by a brutal man - Vlad Chizhov. Before participating in this project, he ran his own blog for several years, where he talked about the methods used by scammers and taught how to avoid such situations. After the release of the television version of Reshala, Chizhov became even more famous and recognizable, and now other people are blogging for him. But in addition to verbal advice, Vlad Chizhov also got the opportunity to help people physically, solving their problems.

Many people who contacted Chizhov personally or wrote him a message on a social network note that he is quite responsive, although he does not always find time to respond to people's requests for help. Since Chizhov receives a lot of messages that he cannot physically answer, he looks through the applications, and he can consider a number of situations with a similar plot in his group on VKontakte, or make them the main topic of the new issue of Solver. And the channel editor will always tell you how best to act in a given situation, even if he will not be able to invite a person to participate in the program.

Truth or fiction

The project team positions everything that happens on the screen as cases of real help to the victims of scammers, however, many moments look rather implausible. The faces of all the heroes of the program, except for those who applied for a solution to their problems, are hidden. But, despite this approach and the inability to see the facial expressions of criminals, you can often hear not very good acting in the voice. Most viewers note that they watch the program as a good detective or action movie, and not as a summary of real events.

During one of the episodes of the show, Vlad Chizhov was attacked with a knife and almost wounded him. The presenter managed to twist the unlucky swindler who wanted to sell him a non-working cell phone. Also, the criminals repeatedly tried to avoid filming in the program and smashed the expensive equipment of the project. So, in one of the issues, a camera worth more than one hundred thousand rubles was broken. From the reviews about the "Solved" program, which are left by random witnesses of the filming, one can understand that a huge number of people are working on the program. In addition to cameramen with professional equipment, there are also several people filming from the side with hidden cameras, merging with the crowd, there are still technicians who install cameras in the area where the shooting will be done. In addition to the film crew, there are always producers and a screenwriter on the set, who tells Chizhov what to say for the screensavers of the program.

In view of a specific and at the same time dangerous profession, Vlad Chizhov does not talk about his personal life and therefore his biography is full of mysteries and secrets. Information about his childhood and youth period of life is also missing. Only his date of birth is precisely known - January 1, 1972. For the safety of his parents, Vlad does not disclose information about them. The situation is the same with his education. Most likely, he graduated from a comprehensive school, and in the future, presumably, he could study as a director or presenter.

The youth of TV presenter Vlad Chizhov fell on the dashing 90s, where he repeatedly encountered scammers or dishonest sellers. In those days, various high-profile and petty scams of a criminal nature occurred throughout the country. At this time, using the example of deceived people, Vlad studied the main criminal schemes in various branches of fraud.

According to unconfirmed information, in his youth, Vlad met a girl. The romance was serious, but for some reason the lovers broke up. In the future, in order to help ordinary people avoid getting into various bad situations, Chizhov created his personal blog on the Internet, where anyone could ask online for advice on all kinds of existing criminal situations.

In August 2017, the Reshala program begins to appear on the Che channel. This program of Vlad Chizhov was precisely his personal project, and in it he acted as a presenter. In this program, Vlad conducts real investigations in order to expose the scammers and defend the interests of the victims. The filming of this program takes place in the format of a reality show, in which real people appear with their life situation.

Vlad Chizhov's program "The Decider" touches on such vital issues and situations of the criminal world that in one of the series the host was almost beaten by sellers involved in the sale of counterfeit mobile phones. Fortunately for Vlad, this incident did not cause serious injuries or injuries. But the fact that there were some medical problems with the finger on the hand after this incident is a well-known fact.

At present, the presenter lives in Moscow. Regularly goes in for sports, leads a healthy lifestyle. He likes to run in the morning and do strength exercises in the gym. After work, Vlad likes to eat delicious food. The family of Vlad Chizhov is hidden from prying eyes and there is practically no information about her. Of the pets, a fluffy cat lives at home.

Personal life of Vlad Chizhov

The personal life of blogger Vlad Chizhov is just a real secret. The family of Vlad Chizhov is under such a secret that it is impossible to say with certainty whether she really exists or not. Naturally, a popular presenter with an attractive appearance for women cannot live at home only surrounded by a cat, but apparently for security reasons, Vlad does not cover his personal life. Many journalists and just fans tried to find out who Vlad Chizhov's wife really is, but all these attempts were in vain. The blogger's children are also in the shadows and there is no information about them.

Vlad Chizhov's blog

How can I contact Vlad? Simple enough. To communicate with like-minded people and with people in difficult situations, Vlad Chizhov's official blog is working and is constantly popular. There are 35,460 subscribers registered on the page in Vkontakte, of which 170 are friends. Thanks to this blog, everyone can get an answer to various life situations that you can get into. The latest news from the criminal world can be regularly found here. Many are wondering how to find Vlad Chizhov's blog. It is very easy to do this. It is enough to write keywords in the line of the search engine and the program will give the necessary link. Vlad Chizhov's website exists and is actively working, where anyone can also consult on various criminal situations. There are a large number of photos of Vlad and several videos with his participation. You can also find the site through any search engine.

The Reshala program has been on the air of the Che TV channel for six months. Its idea is to show the viewer with specific examples what schemes various scammers use and how to prevent them from emptying your wallet.

According to TASS, in Russia last year one fraud was committed every three minutes, and more than 200,000 Russians suffered from the actions of fraudsters.

Ufa journalists talked to blogger Vlad Chizhov, author and presenter of the program.

- Is it easy to expose scammers?

You must understand that the program is filmed for several days, and the most delicious is shown to the audience. And it may give the false impression that all this is done easily. But actually it is not. It’s hard to work with analytics so that everything goes well during filming, so that it’s clear how to talk to scammers and how to ensure security.

- How did you come to television?

I received a proposal for cooperation from the TV channel "Che". I myself was scammed in the 90s. My experience and advice helped people. Some turned, others, I helped them out of difficult situations. After that, I decided to create a blog, which eventually began to gain popularity. And television for me, as well as for the viewer, is a miracle.

What are the most common scams?

Most often, scammers play on human vices - greed and greed. If you manage to press this button, then you can easily be bred. And this is happening all over the world. Russians also fall for trust fraud, that is, when they ask you for a loan and then do not return it, for example.

- Were there dangerous situations when your health was at risk?

Well, I'm a person with experience, everything happened. (Here one of the employees of the TV channel enters the conversation and talks about the case when one of the anti-heroes of the program pulled out a knife during filming, but thanks to Vlad's skill, he was able to neutralize it).

- But still, how do you understand that a person is lying?

Well, I can't reveal all my secrets. I can only say that as soon as I encounter a fraudster, I easily and quickly expose him and immediately calculate all his actions. There are two categories of scammers, some are professionals who are looking for a victim, others unwittingly create such a situation and deceive people.

- How to behave - your advice?

As soon as you are offered a product at a cheap price or are told that you have won the lottery, but you need to pay money in advance, you need to be on your guard. Scammers have their own approach to everyone. Teenagers are bred with the help of computer games, bonuses in them, grandmothers are pressured for pity, and businessmen - for their greed. You can’t, of course, live all the time, as if on a powder keg, live easily, but don’t lose your scent. If you are offered something non-standard, unusual, then you should strain yourself - most likely someone is hunting for your wallet.

- Is it possible to deceive you, can you yourself become a victim of fraud?

Do I have a weak spot? Of course, like any other person. But sometimes I deliberately give money away, it's just that there is a category of people who need a little support.

- What is the purpose of your program?

Teach people not to fall for the tricks of scammers, warn them. For 6 months, the audience of my blog has grown from 6-7 thousand to 75. And do you know what the reviews are? 30 percent of this type - "I was offered a deal, I refused, and the one who agreed was thrown, thank you for warning me."

- And yet you call for shouting "Sentry, police!" Or solve problems yourself?

I am not calling for anything. I saw what happened in the 90s and what is happening now. The police are working, you are not afraid to walk the streets. The government has done something strong to keep you safe. People who write to me: "Help", they do not even use 10% of the capabilities of the state machine. It is necessary to write a statement correctly, for example, but in our country things are bad with legal literacy. The state machine defends the interests of the people.

- Do you have followers, "deciders" in other cities?

There was one case: a 16-year-old guy wrote to me that he and his dad bought a car, there were some problems, and he solved them. “Now I am the main“ decided ”in Rostov,” he wrote. There was also an unpleasant story when using my name, my photos, they made a fake account, and scammed people for money, offering to solve their problems, and I never take money for help. But we managed to figure it out.

- If you imagine that there are no more scammers, then what will you do?

I'm actually a very simple person, I'm used to making money with my own hands. I have restaurants, I cook myself. So, if suddenly all the scammers disappear, I will gladly feed you in my restaurants.

As for online scams, that's a different story. All these proposals about bitcoins, about currency pairs, exchanges, brokerage are all bullshit. This type of business is run by a very narrow stratum of people, and they earn at the expense of others. Therefore, if you are not a professional in this area, do not mess with Internet finance - you will simply lose your money.

TV presenter and blogger Vlad Chizhov about beatings and scandals, work on the Che channel and the reality show Decided

TV channel "Che" launched on November 27 about the fight against scammers with the tough name "Decided". One of the most mysterious modern TV presenters, Vlad Chizhov, slightly lifted the veil of secrecy over television production and his worldview. He prefers to just do good, he ended up on television by accident and offers to rely on« feel» to avoid danger.

The host of the project, Vlad Chizhov, is a well-known blogger who became famous on the Internet thanks to his exposure of scammers.

Is being a "decisive" - ​​is it to be a TV star or a knight of the 21st century?

You have put me in a dead end. I wouldn't choose either one or the other. What I do, if I may say so, is a dirty job. Do stars do the dirty work?

Did you receive an offer from the Che TV channel or did you offer him the idea of ​​a program?

I was offered cooperation by the producers of the Che TV channel. They liked my blog on the Internet. They felt that it would be useful for their audience to learn how not to fall into the hands of scammers. I am a person with a heightened sense of justice. This topic is very close to me - to warn people from danger and « kidnyakov”, to tell how not to get stuck in all sorts of stories.

Beatings and scandals - costs of production?

What do beatings and scandals mean? I don’t seem to be a scandalous person and I think that people who make scandals are stupid and unrestrained. As for the beatings, this is not at all the right place. I never go where you can catch beatings, I can only find myself in a situation in which I will not lose, but I will be at least equal with a person. The use of violence is the absence of verbal arguments. Therefore, if we are talking about some current issues within the framework of the project, I can say that at the moment there are enough negotiation processes to deal with the problem. And only if people do not know how to talk or are not responsible for their words, the only way to get them to talk is to use force.

What story of exposing scammers do you remember the most and why?

I'm not a collector, I don't collect or memorize stories. All of them are very important. I don't want to focus on just one.

What was a surprise during the work that you did not plan?

There is only one surprise - the working day has become endless. I have no days off, free evenings and pleasant breakfasts. Now I only have a job.

"Che" is your first TV experience? Where did you get used to the camera?

Before the channel "Che" "in the TV » I have never been. Everything turned out somehow organically. I still don't consider myself a television person. It feels like you just live next to people with cameras.

What dangerous adventure did you get rescued from?

The best assistant is your "sense", your mind. The best warnings are an inner voice, a sense of the situation and life experience. Now I see hundreds of cases where people get into some kind of stupid story, and I begin to understand that with age the phrase "become experienced" literally takes on a material embodiment. There is a feeling that this is not very good, there is no need to climb here.

What for you is the main gratitude for the successful solution of the problem?

I never expect gratitude, I live by the principle of "do good and throw it into the water." He did good - and then immediately forgot it, without telling anyone about it and without boasting. As soon as a person begins to expect gratitude from the good done, it becomes not a good, but a service.

Was television your childhood dream or a lucky coincidence?

Television has never been the limit of my dreams, I never even thought about it. Like many guys, I wanted to become a pilot, but my childhood was in the difficult eighties, my youth in the nineties, so I earned as much as I could, in the end I came to the conclusion that real money is money that you earned with your own hands.

What are your expectations from the project?

At Reshal, we do our best to choose the most important, most relevant stories that can happen to everyone, but from which not everyone can get out. The main thing is that the project helps people. Just open my blog and read the reaction of the viewers. My expectations began to be justified when I began to read more and more often: “We watched the program and saved our money”, “If it were not for your program, I would have been thrown.” I began to understand that I was doing something really necessary.
