Masha Shakhova: I never learned to talk about intimate things. Evgeny Kiselev Maria Shakhova wife of Evgeny Kiselev

For a guy who was born and raised in London, moved to Moscow at the age of 10 and immediately began to hang out in social circles, George Kiselev(16) – too well-mannered. Yes, not Georgy, not Gosha, not Zhora, but George - that’s what they called him from childhood not only at school, but also at home. Even today he only speaks English with his parents, so if you hear him say to someone on the phone: “I’m out with friends,” it means his dad is calling, Alexey Kiselev (33) (to friends - just Kisa) .

Everyone really knows his father. He is not just the son of the outstanding Russian journalist Evgeny Kiselev (61), a close friend of Carine Roitfeld (62) and a regular at the most fun parties in the capital, Alexey also makes films with Rezo Gigineishvili (35) - at school they sat at the same desk, and now they are together work at Rezo's film company "Sky". Kiselev is the creative director there. Moreover, on the map of Moscow there are two establishments that they also opened in tandem: restaurants PATARA (translated from Georgian as “small”) and DIDI (respectively, “big”). Well, the icing on the cake: at the beginning of May of this year, Alexey joined the Aizel team - now he is also a special projects manager.

Kisa Jr.’s mother, Maya Tarkhan-Mouravi (34) (this, by the way, is a noble Georgian surname), appears in gossip columns much less often than her ex-husband. At least for the last ten years. When George was 9, his parents split up, but that didn't change anything: "They remained very good friends." At the beginning of the 2000s, Maya and Alexei had their own clothing brand, Kisa, which they developed in London, and George, of course, went to all the shows. “True, already at 11 o’clock I was lying at home, and my Russian nannies were reading books to me before going to bed,” Kiselev laughs. Now Maya works in a media agency promoting content for TV and the Internet “AMSH”, they opened it with George’s paternal grandmother Masha Shakhova (61), producer of the “Fazenda” program on Channel One and TEFI laureate - (by the way, the name of this It was Masha who came up with the awards).

“We moved to Moscow because my grandparents lived here and there were more favorable working conditions,” recalls George. “I entered the second grade at MASH (International English Language School on Nikolina Gora), which has nothing to do with English at all - they only taught me Russian.” Two years later, Kisa moved to the Pirogov school, and a year later to the International School of Moscow (“Also international, but according to the right principles - you can’t speak Russian there at all”), where he is now finishing the eleventh grade. And until George passed all the exams, his father did not allow him to hang out: “And in general, I don’t have such a thing: go wherever you want and do whatever you want. I absolutely have to call my dad and tell him where I am and what time I’ll be home. And even after that, he may not let me go anywhere.”

But even despite the fact that Kiselev Sr. limits his son’s desire for social life, they have almost no conflicts: “My parents are young people, they have their own personal life, and this is their personal business, I always support them choice, and it doesn’t affect my relationship with them in any way.”

But George, by the way, is no longer a bachelor (the wedding is still far away, but his heart is already taken), and he also owes this to his father’s “Patara”, where he goes every day (may “Simachev” forgive him) - it’s across the street from Mom's house on Patricks. Kisa regularly brings all her friends there and treats them in the best traditions of the Georgian people. In fact, it was there that he met Taya Rumyantseva (14), a rising star of the social scene: “I once came to Patara to have breakfast with friends, I saw her and thought: “A familiar face!” And how beautiful!”, and then I remembered that, I took out her number, and it started spinning...” Now they are inseparable. True, they haven’t been nominated for “Couple of the Year” yet: “They say they’re still young.”

But we are sure: George will have many awards, achievements and broken women’s hearts ahead - from his mother he got brown eyes and dark skin, and from his father - a charming smile and the ability to behave with dignity in high society, so Kisa is a real handsome man. And you will definitely hear about him again.

Kiselev’s romance with his future wife began in high school, and since then their personal life has flowed along the same channel. Evgeny Kiselev's wife Marina Shakhova has been with him for more than forty years, and they got married when they were only nineteen years old. Even at school, Evgeniy did everything to make Marina reciprocate his feelings, and his efforts were not in vain. Later, when they were both already students at universities, albeit different ones, she agreed to marry him. Then Kiselev was studying at the history department of the Institute of Asian and African Countries at Moscow State University, and his future wife was preparing to become a journalist. Despite their youth, and Evgeny was only nineteen years old at the time, their parents were not against their marriage, Marina and Evgeny got married, and the young family settled in a rented apartment.

Getting used to new living conditions was not easy for both of them, and at first Marina made several attempts to return home, but the time of adjustment ended successfully, especially since the spouses had many common interests. They got along well at home and did not interfere with each other's careers. At first, the couple decided to live “for themselves”, without thinking about having children right away. Evgeny Kiselev’s wife successfully realized her professional ambitions, and he did not stop her from doing this, because, in his opinion, a woman’s biography should not be based only on everyday interests.

Ten years after their marriage, in 1982, Marina and Evgeniy became parents - their son Alexei was born. By this time, Kiselev had served in Afghanistan, where he worked as a translator in the Group of Soviet Military Advisors, and got a job as a Persian language teacher at the USSR KGB Higher School. Dzerzhinsky. Since 1984, Evgeniy Alekseevich connected his work biography with the USSR State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company and three years later became the host of the popular program “90 Minutes”. Later he was one of the hosts of the Vremya and Vesti programs, the host of the Itogi information and analytical program, and since April 2000 he became the general director of the NTV channel.

The name for the program “Itogi” was invented by Evgeniy Kiselev’s wife, who worked with him on television. She is no less successful and active specialist, and has many interesting projects under her belt, including the “Housing Issue” and “Summer Residents” programs, for which Shakhova received the prestigious “TEFFI-2002” award. In addition, Marina Shakhova wrote texts for Echo of Moscow. The personal life of the Kiselev family took place in a luxurious five-room apartment on Malaya Bronnaya, but they also spent a lot of time in a country house, which had everything necessary for a comfortable life, even a wine cellar - Evgeniy Alekseevich devoted a lot of time to collecting wines. Their family was always considered very friendly, despite the fact that, like everyone else, there were loud quarrels between them.

By the mid-nineties, Kiselev had become a cult figure on Russian television, and in 2006 he moved to the Ekho Moskvy radio station. Two years later, he began collaborating with the Ukrainian TV channel TVi, where he held the position of editor-in-chief and consultant. On this channel, Kiselev hosted the program “At the Top”, and later – “Big Politics with Evgeny Kiselev” on another Ukrainian TV channel “Inter”, where in 2013 he took the post of head of information broadcasting. In the same year, he headed the National Information Systems company, which produces various news programs. Yevgeny Kiselev’s life is currently connected with Ukraine, and in one of his interviews he even admitted that he is ashamed to be a citizen of Russia.

Our today's hero is a very famous Soviet, Russian and Ukrainian television presenter and journalist. He is one of the people who created the NTV television company. His opinion often went and goes against established concepts, which Evgeniy Alekseevich Kiselev did not hesitate to talk about.

In 2008, the popular TV presenter left his country, believing that it was impossible to live and create freely here. He moves to Kyiv, where he works on a large number of diverse projects. At this time, he openly speaks out against his native country.

After Poroshenko came to power, Kiselev left Ukraine, believing that a situation unfavorable for free expression of will was beginning to develop in the country.

Height, weight, age. How old is Evgeniy Kiselev

The popular TV presenter became famous in the early 90s of the last century. A large audience was interested in everything that related to Evgeniy Kiselyov, but it was not possible to find information.

Today the situation has changed, so it’s not difficult to find out about the popular TV presenter. Many people have an idea about his parametric data, including the height, weight, and age of the television star. How old Evgeniy Kiselyov is is known for certain, which can be read on the official website of the Ekho Moskvy radio.

Last year, Evgeny Kiselev, whose photos in his youth and now are of interest, celebrated his 61st birthday. His height is 185 cm with a weight of 82 kg and is considered one of the tallest among television stars. The popular presenter maintains his shape by working out in the gym every day.

Biography and personal life of Evgeny Kiselev

The creative biography and personal life of Evgeny Kiselev are considered very successful. This opinion is shared by both the TV presenter himself and many critics and fans of various television programs.

The boy was born in the capital of the Soviet Union in mid-June in 1956. His father, Alexey Alexandrovich Kiselev, was a famous engineer involved in metal production, for which he received the Stalin Prize. The mother, about whom there is no official information, was raising her only son and providing family comfort.

The parents sent their son to study at a school where English was studied in depth. He was interested in historical events and geography, literature, political and economic spheres. At the suggestion of his father, our today’s hero began to attend the “School of Young Orientalists,” which operated at Moscow State University. After school, Evgeniy Alekseevich Kiselev entered Moscow State University, graduating with excellent marks.

During his studies, the young man traveled to many Asian countries. We will receive a diploma with honors; the young man served in military service in Afghanistan, where he interpreted conversations between Soviet advisers and Afghan leaders.
After military service, he taught Persian until the mid-80s of the last century at the Higher School of Collective State Security.


Since 1985, the next stage of the young man’s life begins - he becomes a journalist. Initially, his responsibilities included editing texts that were then broadcast to Middle Eastern audiences. Then the man began working as a TV presenter on the “90 Minutes” program. Since 1991, he began hosting the news programs “Vremya” and “Vesti”. Our today's hero became widely known after the release of the information and analytical television program “Itogi”, the first episode of which viewers could see at the end of 1992.

At the same time, the journalist was filming documentaries. His works talked about a variety of political figures from both our country and other countries. Of greatest interest were his paintings telling about the “iron” lady of Great Britain Margaret Thatcher, dictators, among whom Stalin and Pinochet stand out, as well as the first President of the Russian Federation Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin.

At the beginning of the new millennium, Kiselev, among several employees protesting against the change of management at the NTV channel, went to work at TNT and TV-6. At the same time, he became the editor-in-chief of the popular newspaper publishing house “Moscow News”.

In 2005, he began working at the Ekho Moskvy radio station. But in 2008, he gave up everything and decided to move to Ukraine, where he began working on one of the TV channels. During this period, statements were received from Evgeny Kiselyov that he was ashamed of being a citizen of the Russian Federation. He cites the country's activities against other states as the reason for this. In particular, the President, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, gets the worst of it in this regard, whom the journalist accuses of wanting to subjugate other countries to his power.

In 2016 he returns to Moscow again. Now he is engaged in various journalistic projects, which are shared with readers on the pages of the online publication Gazeta.Ru and listeners of the Ekho Moskvy radio.
Recently, Evgeny Kiselev wrote a book about Vladimir Putin, in which he admits that the strength and power of the country became possible precisely thanks to his activities.

Family and children of Evgeniy Kiselev

The family and children of Evgeniy Kiselev were not known for a long time. The popular television presenter preferred not to talk about his family. He hid who his wife was and whether there were children in the marriage.

In recent years, Evgeniy Alekseevich Kiselev has not hidden the fact that he is happy. He is loved and loved. His chosen one completely shares her husband’s opinion, supporting him in everything. At all celebrations, the spouses are invariably present together, holding hands, as in their youth.


The couple has a son who is into fashion. He got married and gave his parents a grandson, whom they love very much.
Evgeny Kiselyov says that over time he fell in love with family celebrations, which allow him to communicate with loved ones and enjoy warmth and peace.

Son of Evgeny Kiselev - Alexey

The popular television presenter and journalist has an only son, who was named Alexei in honor of his grandfather. The boy was studying languages. He knows English, French, Italian, Spanish and German, in addition to Russian and Ukrainian. In high school, the young man became interested in clothing design.

After college, Evgeny Kiselev’s son, Alexey, got married. Together with his wife, he developed his own clothing brand, which is popular both in the Russian Federation and outside its territory.

The couple loves to travel, posting photos taken in various parts of the world on Instagram and Twitter.

Recently the family welcomed a boy, who was named Kostya. He loves to visit his grandparents.

Evgeny Kiselyov's wife - Marina Shakhova

Evgeny Kiselyov and his future wife began dating when they were in high school. They officially became spouses at the age of 19, against the will of their parents, who believed that their children needed to get an education, get settled in life, and only then deal with organizing their personal lives.

For some time, quarrels arose between the young people after the wedding. Several times, Evgeny Kiselyov’s wife, Marina Shakhova, left the family, slamming the door and intending never to return. But after a while they moved in together again, unable to imagine life without each other.


10 years after the wedding, a son, Alyosha, was born into the family, who made the strong and friendly family truly happy.

Evgeniy Kiselyov’s wife also works as a journalist. She developed several programs that became popular in Russia. Among the most famous are the programs “Housing Question”, “Dachny Answer”, “Summer Residents”. For the latter, Marina Shakhova was awarded the prestigious TEFFI award at the beginning of the new millennium.

Instagram and Wikipedia Evgeny Kiselev

For a long time, due to the fact that the popular television presenter was incredibly in demand and could not maintain pages on social networks. Instagram and Wikipedia of Evgeniy Kiselyov were maintained by his wife Marina Shakhova, who covered in detail all issues of her husband’s life and activities.


In recent years, Evgeny Kiselev began to run the pages himself. But that doesn't mean he doesn't trust his wife. It’s just that, as the journalist says, this is another opportunity to talk about your understanding of the current situation in the world to people who are interested.

Her programs are distinguished by softness and unhurriedness. Shakhova is so tactful that she even asked TV bosses not to develop the sore subject of special treatment of herself as the wife of Evgeniy Kiselyov, who was excommunicated from Russian broadcasting, in this interview.
In recent years, Shakhova has been working more as a producer (“Fazenda”). But “Home” brought Masha back to the screen so that she could talk to celebrities about family values ​​in “Family Home”.

– The tradition of preserving memory is disappearing today. Don't you think that in this sense the idea of ​​the program is artificial?

– Of course, family values ​​used to be given more importance. Because opportunities were limited: people could only afford to buy one wardrobe and lived in a house where five more generations had grown up before them. Today's young people are independent, and family priorities are not very dear to them. They’d rather go to a sale and buy a plywood cabinet for pennies. The Ikea store, of course, is a wonderful invention, but I think that people still cannot escape tradition. In another 5-10 years they will realize that this plywood cabinet is very dear to them. Because, perhaps, the man next to him was kissed for the first time by his beloved woman. Or he always hides money there. That is, things will become overgrown with the history of the new family.

I remember that when I got married, my mother-in-law begged me to take the card table. I told her: “Anna Georgievna, why do we need him? They play cards on it, but we don't play cards. And then, he’s stupid.” Many, many years later I realized what an idiot I was. Not only does this card table cost an insane amount of money, it’s also beautiful. You can turn it into anything, you don’t have to play cards on it. When my mother-in-law passed away and my husband and I came to take some things from her apartment, we took this table too. He is dear to us, this is the memory of her... I am very sorry that I was stupid in some matters. But when I try to say something like that to my son now, he answers in exactly the same way: “Come on! I don’t need this!” There is nothing to be done, awareness comes only with experience.

– Do the stars really treasure the things of their ancestors or are they just pretending to do so in front of the TV camera?

- Differently. This is generally immediately noticeable. Those who truly value memory have these things in plain sight - they live with them. And those who don’t appreciate them keep them hidden. This doesn't mean people are bad. They're just not interested. It's okay, we can talk about other topics.

- Intimate?

“This is exactly what I, unfortunately, have never learned to do in my entire life.”

– On Channel Five, Andrei Maksimov has a program “Personal Things” - a story about a public person through the objects around him. In terms of meaning, your transmission intersects with his.

– There are many programs on television that are very similar. Maybe they are watched depending on the personality of the presenter?.. One is pleasant, the other is not so much.

- Are you instead of bait?

– I came to Domashny as a producer: I brought the idea of ​​a program and said that I didn’t have a presenter. I was extremely surprised when they offered me to take his place. This thought was very unexpected.

- But pleasant? You were probably not very happy with the life behind the scenes that you were forced to lead?

– Life behind the scenes is diverse, the work of a producer is very interesting... In addition, I have published 5 books about interior design, which are being published in additional editions, and I do photography. We also make documentaries.

– Explain one paradox. How can you be the author of the name of the country’s main television award “TEFI”, work on TV for so many years and not be a member of the TV Academy? Someone's intrigue again?

– Oh, I even forgot that I’m not an academician! By the way, I don’t even know how they become...

The most pleasant thing about being a presenter is when they remember your programs. People even stop me at a gas station and in the swimming pool: “Are you Masha Shakhova? Thank you for your broadcasts."

Anything more than three is a collection. Masha has two bags of flower brooches Photo: Elena Sukhova

Today we bring to your attention archival material from the magazine “7 Days”, in which the popular presenter Masha Shakhova shows readers her favorite outfits of 2004. This article is published online for the first time.

The host of the “Summer Residents” program, Masha Shakhova, considers herself a completely unfashionable person. She hates shopping, believing that it is one of the most boring things in the world. However, this unusual attitude towards shopping for the average woman is not at all due to the fact that Masha doesn’t care what to wear.

Dress from a chest

The fact is that Shakhova is absolutely sure that a person with taste has nothing to do in a store! A person with taste is simply not interested there. A person with taste clearly knows what he needs, and no stylist in the clothing business can dictate to him. No, of course, the TV presenter does not sew her outfits on an old Singer at night. She also sometimes goes into stores, she really shouldn’t go naked!

But in none of them Shakhova lingers for more than fifteen minutes. There is no time, and besides, she always clearly knows what item she is missing in this or that ensemble. The outfit comes together piece by piece and never follows the lead of famous designers. Masha purposefully ignores “ready-made ensembles,” believing that style is more important than fashion.

After each appearance, the TV presenter sews them back into place when they came off. Photo: Elena Sukhova

It happens that Shakhova combines things that seem to be completely unrelated to each other, but even the combination of a light skirt and a thick sweater looks like a new product from a fashion designer on the TV presenter. True, from a recent trip to London, where her son Alyosha now lives and studies with his wife Maya (by the way, a student at the London College of Fashion), Masha still brought back one ultra-fashionable thing. The evening before leaving, Masha and Maya (the only person with whom Shakhova sometimes consults on fashion issues) went to a restaurant.

Walking along one of the “shop” streets, the ladies saw a red hat in a window. The store was already closed, and the hat sunk into the TV presenter’s soul, besides, Maya assured that this was exactly what Victoria Beckham wore last Saturday. In general, Shakhova practically did not sleep a wink at night, and in the morning, before the plane, she went to the store. Having flown into the room, she grabbed the treasured headdress and, quickly paying, rushed to the airport.

Seeing such a “fast” customer, Masha’s sellers can’t get enough of the questions “What are they wearing now?” in the style of the main character of “Office Romance” Lyudmila Prokofievna Kalugina, Shakhova never asks. He sees the right thing on the hanger, buys it without trying it on, and runs on. It happens that at home it turns out that the thing doesn’t fit in size, then Masha changes it or simply gives it to her friends to be torn to pieces.

This fate befell the chic gold-colored evening dress that Masha purchased before her vacation. The new one fit great and the color suited her, but she never put it on - she wasn’t in the mood. But the girlfriends were lucky. Golden chic has simply become a passing banner - several of the TV presenter’s friends have already performed in her dress at all kinds of receptions, and one even managed to get married in it!
