Alexander Kultovogo now have the opportunity to rise above the vanity, which is important for the person who often finds himself in the midst of various scandals. Not long ago, the TV host received a private pilot license and does not exclude that soon it will have a small plane.
However, on earth in the life of a leading talk show “DNA” on NTV channel, too many reasons to cheer yourself up. In journalism, it brought a sincere interest in the genre of popular science, and this interest still makes Alexander from time to time to leave the cozy Studio for not the most comfortable work in the fields. In an interview with “MK” TV presenter said about flying hours, reality shows and reasons for optimism in the most unhappy situations.
— Alexander, your pilot’s license striking confirmation of the fact that even the leading uneasy talk show there is still time for Hobbies. Long time you are addicted to aviation?
— to Think about how to get behind the wheel of the aircraft I started ten years ago. But I have been stopped by the lack of time at the moment when it was available for the money, then the lack of money with time. But last summer, when I’m already resigned to the fact that it’s a pipe dream, somehow it just worked out. Instagram got ads, I called and realized that everything is real and is placed in the time interval that I had. And so I signed up and began to pass the first course of lectures, then simulator and flight training in November passed the exams, and in the spring finally got a private pilot license. And now I try to fly anything that flies, if it’s easier five tons seven hundred pounds. It is very addictive.
About the purchase of the aircraft already think?
— so far I have only one hundred hours of flying, but when more than two hundred, then begin to think about buying a small plane. Can be chipped with friends. But while I’m learning.
— Probably you can call a man who boldly follows his dream. Journalism, too, was something of a romantic impulse. Your parents are not connected with the media world, but you are strongly moved here. What was your inspiration?
— In particular the program “wordsmiths”, which I watched with great pleasure, and I mean that sincerely to you and Sergey Sosedov who comes on talk show “DNA” as a guest. But in General I’ve always liked popular science journalism. I was far from stellar and scandalous stories, though, and became a member of the reality show “Behind the glass”, but more unexpected happened impulse and coincidence.
the Project was a very loud, after all, the first Russian reality. You had stayed there a bit, but probably got a lot of impressions. Probably you have your own special evaluation of the program “Dom-2”, which was a continuation of “Behind the glass”…
— of course, I know who’s Olga Buzova, but to the “House-2” a special relationship I have. For me it is incredibly stretching gum that will not break. Myself I do not watch the show and don’t know what happens with his heroes.
After the “Behind the glass” you have been invited to lead the program “Network” on “TV-6″…
— And then there was the program “Galileo” and has a solo project on the channel “Science”. This, to me, the opportunity to taste the life of interesting people. In my case, this is the life associated with planes, tanks, submarines. If you look at the list of what I could test, the range will be from a tractor to a nuclear-powered icebreaker. That is, I am using the work of a journalist gained access to inaccessible for the average person things that could touch and try.
against this background, the program “DNA” for you new experience. In the show of course there are references to scientific research, but the debates are not always academic. Probably the very first shoot you had some kind of shock?
Shock was when I praise this program. But then we discussed the conditions under which I’m ready to have this talk show. I didn’t want no politics, not wanted serial stories in the spirit of searching illegitimate children Spartaka Mishulina. I wanted to do a program that not only shakes the air, but somehow helps her heroes. Not all of them are prepared to help, but the vast majority, out of the Studio after filming, they say “Thank you.” Even if I didn’t get the result that was waiting endured the awkward emotional moments and were forced to stand in public family secrets.
— Ability to using genetic test is fairly accurate proof of the relationship in some situations becomes the subject of blackmail and a way to earn. You do not mind this kind of veil, which is sometimes accompanied by family conflicts?
— we are Not this life was invented. In the Soviet Union to say that we have no sex. But it is not always people think about the consequences and realize that after sex children are born. In General, if a potential relative who is trying to blackmail people, he’ll do it without the help of our program. Another thing is that for the tests we responsible and if there is any doubt, recheck everything.
perhaps one of the first programs you had a scandalous situation with the actress Yana Poplavskaya. She did not like the main character, and involving young children in family conflict…
— This situation was something comical and she is a credit to Joanna, though I have great respect for her acting past and present journalisticfrom. Jana just left the Studio ahead of time. The program was very controversial character, who was trying to start his four wives and we have shown the plot for which was filmed and children in a large Swedish family of this man. By the way the children were fed, clothed, well-developed. So in the beginning of the program we became acquainted with the hero, gave him the opportunity to speak. And Jan could not wait when started quite harsh criticism of this man and the thought that we sing the hymns of this kind of relationships and these families. I think that when Ian saw the finished edition, I regretted it. I don’t blame her, it expressed its position, but a professional certainly could understand the issue. On the other hand it did us good PR.
— I am Sure that any host of a talk show at least once watched with amazement at the characters and thought to myself: “What are you strange people”. Have you ever had any such thoughts during the recording?
— of Course arise. I grew up in a family where no one ever raised their voice at each other, where the parents live happily married soon and fifty years, and where children were paid a lot of attention, so after some programs I wanted to clean mouth with the brush and get drunk. I just don’t understand how people can live like that. But the worst thing is when you realize that many people are comfortable to live that way. The constant scandals and fights. And this is connected primarily with the fact that life in the regions very difficult. Problems with work, problems with the culture. People do not spend time with children, they are either watching TV or sitting on social networks, or drinking on the bench. And don’t think about what’s ahead of them, and sometimes even about what children have for lunch today. They sink lower and lower and waiting when the king or the magician in the blue helicopter will arrive and do something. They believe they should anyone blame all around in their misery and so they start drinking with grief.
aircraft and icebreakers such problems, you certainly were not. Probably “DNA” has become for you the most difficult emotionally program from those that you have ever done…
— of Course. I’m doing a small project about small aircraft for a channel on a different technology. We have a very modest budget, so we operate small group, that the day should remove a lot of material to fit in those allotted shifts that we have. Two or three weeks we shot in the heat and we didn’t even have the opportunity to relax in the shade and drink cool water. But I still get off work a huge moral pleasure. At DNA we work in a very comfortable environment, we have air conditioning and is always at hand water. But after experiencing with the characters all the emotions, even physically feel heavier. Normally, we shoot from Tuesdayand Thursday and then on Friday I am totally exhausted I could take a vacation home.
However, you already took more than a hundred programs. Your endurance is enviable. Perhaps there is some way how to cope with such emotions?
— I try not to absorb, and wrap around, but unfortunately not always it turns out. If this were a stage show as nakielska “Window” where the cast was theatrically out, and he Nagiyev resented their behavior, then it can be treated quite easily. And here is a real life tragedy. But when we finish shooting pool program, in which there is a meeting of relatives searching for each other for years, or even knew about each other when we see tears of joy, it gives me personally a solid margin of safety. I understand that this program compensates those where fathers don’t recognize their children and raise a hand to former women. I often think of the program, which was attended by conservatives. They did not want to understand where whose children, for them this problem does not exist. Their problem was the fact that the head of the family, not a Russian citizen, he was born somewhere in South America. Many years ago he came to Russia, lost all the documents, he lived with his wife and children in a remote taiga village. And he was a genetic examination was needed to confirm the relationship with their children and eventually to receive Russian citizenship. And when we listened to the story of these people, it was like in front of us the sun, radiating warmth and kindness. And I experts we just basked in the rays of these incredible people, and these heroes give the belief that it is not in vain.
