The last episode of the show “About Love” on Channel One was aired without the outrageous presenter, the leader of the Leningrad group, Sergei Shnurov, under whom this program was created. Now, instead of the singer, the co-host of the show “Let's Get Married!” helps the heroes to understand their feelings. Rosa Syabitova.
The fact that, together with Sofiko Shevardnadze, who was Shnurov's partner, now Pro Love is being hosted by the main matchmaker of the country, surprised viewers. Neither Sergey nor the channel's management explained the situation. But Rosa decided to shed light on the "mystery".

In a recent interview with Dni.ru, she stated that the singer did not leave the show, as many believe. According to her, the artist invited her to lead the program in turn. “For now, we will try to alternate. So far, we have recorded several releases without Sergey, where I worked with Sofiko, ”Syabitova told the press.
In addition, she admitted that she and Sergei had a very warm and trusting relationship. She noted that the outrageous image of the singer is exclusively his stage image, but in life he is completely different.
“Sergei comes from a very good family, he is well educated, has a sophisticated sense of humor. His stage history and the role of a swearer are not close to me, but this is just an image. In life, Sergey is completely different - gallant, smart. In this project, he treats me like a safety belt that will always help you get out of the most difficult situations, he treats me like a prompter that you can look at if you forget the text. I am even embarrassed by Shnurov's feelings for me - so respectful, trusting, reverent. We are not friends, because we are very different, but we communicate well, ”said Rosa.
The daytime talk show "About Love", where experts analyze the problems of a man who lives off his girlfriend or son, constantly fights with his mother, would be an unremarkable project of Channel One, if not for one "but" - the leader of the group leads the program "Leningrad" Sergei Shnurov. The musician, who has practically no songs without swearing, and clips about “louboutins” and “boobs” collect millions of views on YouTube, loses almost all his outrageousness on the air of the state channel, and we see Shnurov as a completely ordinary presenter. Fans wonder why he needs this, and he himself explains his decision by the desire to unravel how such programs work.
The leader of the Leningrad group, Sergei Shnurov, unexpectedly for his fans, became the host of the About Love program on Channel One, many feared that he was an informal musician. In the description of the new project, it is stated that the daily talk show will help people who are "experiencing a relationship crisis": men and women, children and parents. The announcement of the program was shot in the spirit of movie teasers. Yes, and Cord looks familiar - with a guitar and in an alcoholic T-shirt.
But in fact, it turned out that the channel released another program in the spirit of “Let them talk” with a very typical set of guest problems for a talk show: parents beat children, men drink and do not work, women do not want to lose weight. And Shnurov in hipster suits and with a neat hairstyle behaves very restrained and can only joke sometimes.
He drank, cursed his parents. What else do you need to be a man?!
Sergei Shnurov
The show premiered on September 5, hosts Sergey Shnurov and Sofiko Shevarnadze, daughter of the former president of Georgia, discussed the problems of a young couple in which the girl works, and the guy wants to build a career in the organization, but does not have a stable income and spends a lot of time on social networks.
While the guests are arguing, Shnurov frantically clutches the folder with the text, and his co-host calmly speaks without a blank. Sergey rushes about the studio: he will either step away or sit down. It seems that the musician, who has already led programs on NTV and Match-TV, is worried on the air of the First and does not know what to do.
During the talk show, viewers are shown scenes of the couple's relationship filmed at home and footage of them doing tasks designed to improve their relationship. For example, hang clothes together or try to work one day in the same way as a partner.
I can not take it anymore…
As a result, the characters come to an understanding and the show ends with a happy ending. The second issue was filmed according to the same fabulous scheme, where the husband, who beat his wife, gives her flowers at the end. On the instructions of a psychologist, they tell why they love each other.
Ksenia, thank you for being patient with me. For loving me like this, bad. Because we want to save the family. For this I love you.
The guests of the first two issues were couples, and in the third there will be a son and a mother who fight regularly. The “home” scenes with the characters are very reminiscent of a production that should add tint and enhance the effect of a happy ending, when at the end everyone is reconciled and everything is fine. At the same time, Shnurov joins the discussions and gives the heroes life advice.
Every day your child will grow older, stronger and eventually win this fistfight.
Sergei Shnurov
Sergei Shnurov, who is known for his outrageous behavior and statements, on the air of the First turns into a pale shadow of Andrei Malakhov or Dmitry Nagiyev during the time of the Okna program, viewers write on social networks.
I'm watching a replay of the program "About Love". Host - Sergey Shnurov. Reminds me of the bad show "Windows". In my opinion, the girl was clearly working for the camera
During the hourly release, he utters only a few lines, much more of them are heard, for example, from Rosa Syabitova, a matchmaker from the Let's Get Married program, who acts as a permanent expert on Shnurov's show, along with psychologists and psychotherapists.
Syabitova: The problem of domestic violence, it comes from a woman.
Cords: Now we will agree on something.
Syabitova: No normal man can stand it, this is the problem of your upbringing.
Cord's fans, whose clips "Exhibit", "In St. Petersburg - to drink" and "Tits" collect millions of views and cause a semi-conscious state among defenders of public morality, do not understand why the outrageous musician, who cannot do without swearing on stage, agreed to participate in such program.
Sergey Shnurov, as the host of the program "About Love" on Channel One, is a bad idea. Let him sing better, shoot videos and swear.

Channel One announced the new daily talk show "About Love", hosted by the leader of the "Leningrad" group Sergei Shnurov (on the air from September 5, at 16.00). A TV journalist, granddaughter of the second president of Georgia, Sofiko Shevardnadze, will help Cord to run the program.
The show "About Love", according to its name, will help to improve the lives of everyone who is experiencing a crisis in relationships: husbands and wives, fathers and children, grandmothers and grandchildren, friends. They promise that they will do it calmly and kindly, politely and thoughtfully, attracting the best specialists.
According to Sophiko, who hosted the news on the Russia Today channel, the Interview and SophieCo programs and worked for Ekho Moskvy, she always dreamed of hosting a psychological talk show about love: “It so happened historically that I am a political journalist, simply because that I am well versed in politics. And all my life I wanted to just sit on a bench and talk "for life". It really seems to me that there can be nothing cooler and more interesting than living life. We help people understand their problems, talk to each other with a friend. Unfortunately, it’s customary for us to insult, hit in the face a little bit. And our program is a great opportunity to show that there is another way to solve a complex problem."
About co-host Sofiko Shevardnadze speaks like this: “Shnurov is a very good, kind person, he has a great sense of humor. Sometimes he saves the situation fantastically when you realize that now you need a joke so that the hero does not die in our arms from grief. Therefore, Seryozha is ideal for such a program. He is very sensitive, feeling. He knows a lot about life, but he knows from a different side than I do."
Shnurov himself believes that love is just a convenient concept: “It is customary to write everything off for love in modern society. - Love is such a convenient concept. This is a category, a concept built in modern society mainly on Hollywood films. No matter how you twist it, teenagers, and adults alike, will learn about what love is from Hollywood films. It's an imposed concept, that's all. Such a cynical approach."
Despite fundamental disagreements, Shevardnadze and Shnurov, each in their own way, try to help people who are entangled in love relationships. Sofiko does it in a feminine way emotionally, Sergey sneers. “The main common problem in the world is a violation of communication links, no one hears each other,” Shnurov believes. “Everyone is a writer, but no one is a reader. This is the main problem and, by and large, all conflicts occur because of this: very few listeners.
Each issue of the program "About Love" is carefully prepared. A week before the recording of the program, psychologists begin to work with the heroes. In addition, work with them does not stop even after filming. Approximately six months later, return programs are planned, in which the journalists of "About Love" will again visit the ex-participants in order to evaluate the changes.
The show with Shevardnadze is not the first television experience of the Leningrad leader. Previously, he hosted programs on NTV ("Cord Around the World" and "Trench Life"), Channel Five and STS. Last year, he became the host of the "Cult Tour" program on "Match TV" and even called the sports commentator Vasily Utkin, who was fired with a scandal, to work. Sergey Shnurov explains his agreement to become a talk show host on Channel One as follows: “I always used to change my occupation for a while. Apparently, the next period has come. It seems to me that by my appearance on Channel One I give a signal that the impossible becomes possible And one more thing: I don’t have a written text, during the recording of the program I say complete gag - all this determined my positive answer.
Recall that some time ago on Channel One, the show "They and Us" was hosted by Alexander Gordon and Ekaterina Strizhenova. The show was also built on a different approach leading to topics that concern men and women. Cynical Gordon and moral Strizhenova. The ratings for the project were quite good. Later, together with Yulia Baranovskaya, Alexander Gordon began to host the Male / Female program, which also touches on the topic of relationships. Ratings last season were also "on top". So now there will be two programs "about relationships" on the First.
The idea of the psychological talk show “About Love” belongs to Sofiko Shevardnadze, the granddaughter of the second president of Georgia, a clever and beautiful woman who has been engaged in political journalism all her life. She also came up with the name.
“The world rests on love, without it there is nothing,” Sofiko is convinced. “It just so happens that I am involved in politics. And I just want to sit on a bench and talk about life.
Shevardnadze was not familiar with the leader of the Leningrad group, but she only wanted to see him as a co-host. .
“He came to the recording of the pilot issue and said: “My pilots never go anywhere,” Sofiko recalls. - I answered: "This one will pass!"
When the program was indeed approved, Shnurov "turned on the reverse gear", and Shevardnadze had to persuade the odious musician to sign the contract for a very long time.
“I still doubt it,” Sergey admits. — Although I have always been inclined to change the type of activity for a while. Apparently, such a period has come. The most important thing is that I do not have the text spelled out. I say gag, and this determined my positive answer.

When Shnurov first appeared in the studio of the talk show "About Love", it seemed that the audience was ready to jump up from their seats and start a wave through the ranks. He, as always, unshaven, but in a stylish blue jacket, looked around the place of work with slight bewilderment and said: “How I want to swear!” The hall howled with delight and hooted. Shnurov winked slyly: “Let’s sell swearing on Channel One, huh ?!” But no. During the recording, he behaved extremely politely and correctly.
“Serge is a deeply intelligent person,” Sofiko says. - He is a representative of the real St. Petersburg intelligentsia. Everyone considers him a bully and a boor, and he is the absolute opposite.
The heroes of one of the first issues of the program are a husband and wife, who, in the sixth year of their marriage, came to the conclusion that they could no longer live in a situation of constant lack of money. A woman sits at home with a child and annoys: “I want new sandals! I want to go to a restaurant!” And the husband plows at a construction site and accuses his wife of exorbitant requests.
“A typical situation in Russia,” Shnurov announces at the very beginning of the talk show, “I also constantly lack money.
“And I don’t have enough,” Sophiko agrees.
- How much would suit you? – Sergey asks the sad heroine in a businesslike way.
“A hundred thousand a month,” she readily replies.
- Do you remember "The Tale of the Fisherman and the Fish"? Shnurov asks. - There the old woman was also constantly unhappy and was left with nothing.
“Half the country lives in poverty and in love, and half of the country lives in poverty and badly!” Sofiko enters hotly.
Liquid applause is heard in the hall: they say, right, happiness is not in money. But Shnurov retorts:
Where have you seen people living in poverty and in love? Yes, they fight all the time!
And here the hall bursts into thunderous applause and loud, albeit discordant cries:
- The wife herself needs to work, and not sit at home! Young after all, find a job for yourself!
Calm down, workaholics! - Shnurov, suddenly amused, interrupts the general hubbub. "You're all here just to work, I see."
The spectators fall silent in shame.

If Sofiko Shevardnadze seeks to see the psychological background in everything and find the cause of the problems of the heroes in their childhood, then Sergei Shnurov is more cynical and not inclined to feel sorry for the participants.
“My dad drank all my childhood,” the heroine sobs, “there were always alcoholics around me!”
Alcoholics aren't such bad people! the musician remarks philosophically.
“I have complexes,” the heroine continues to smear tears on her ruddy round cheeks. I used to be skinny, but now...
“And I have complexes,” Cord nods. I used to be young, but now I'm old!
After filming, the creators of the program do not abandon the characters - psychologists continue to work with them. Later, journalists will meet with former participants and find out if they managed to overcome the crisis. It is difficult to answer why the most popular domestic musician needs all this, but so far Shnurov on the talk show "About Love" is clearly for fun.
- I'm still not sure about my role, - says Sergei about the new job. - But it seems to me that by my appearance on Channel One I give a certain signal: the impossible becomes possible!
