Only as much is known about this man as he considers it necessary to tell about himself. Alexei Mikhailovsky is the producer of the most controversial show Dom-2, which went down in history as the longest and most successful show, because its format was sold to the American corporation SPTI for the first time in the existence of Russian television. For 12 years now, he has been behind the scenes of the daily broadcast, most recently he began to comment on the events of the TV show and made his voice recognizable. Who is he and why is he considered the "brain" of the project?

Road to show

Forty-seven-year-old producer Alexei Mikhailovsky, whose biography is closely connected with television, began his professional career more than 22 years ago. In the sphere of his interests were information programs, as well as political PR. True, he ceased to engage in elections since 1999. Collaborated on the First with Alexander Lyubimov in the programs "Time" and "Here and Now", then moved to NTV at the invitation of the chief producer of the channel SergeyShumakov. With his departure, his career ended. For a whole year he sat at home, not finding a use for himself.

The proposal from the director of the Dom-2 project to create a certain system for the show was accepted with joy. On twenty sheets he described his concept, supported by the organizers, after which he set to work. From the first day, his wife Vasilina became a co-producer on the project, with whom they raised their son Maxim. I had to start everything from scratch: look for land, create a perimeter, come up with rules for its operation. The project was launched on the night of May 5, although it appeared on the air on the eleventh. The creative team considers the first date of his birth. Fifteen participants, each of whom will become mega-popular in the country, will step over the perimeter gate.

A long twelve years

Today, Alexey Mikhailovsky, for whom Dom-2 is a part of life, often answers sharp questions about the reasons for the popularity of the show. There are three points in his responses:

• The project is constantly changing, there are no strict rules governing its functioning. It allows participants not only to build relationships, but also to find ways of creative self-expression. There was a period when the participants actively toured. The first concert on December 6, 2005 at the Olimpiyskiy turned out to be successful. Since 2009, the Youth Train has been operating, calling the younger generation for social activity. The guys donated blood, struggled with bad habits. Since 2006, various competitions have been used,creating an atmosphere of competition.
• The project can be viewed as a school of life, according to which everyone can check their own decisions. Thanks to the openness of the participants, who allow themselves to show feelings and emotions on the air, people are able to revise their relationships, understanding what is right and wrong in them.
• The project reveals the dynamics of the development of the participants themselves, so more and more often the former return to the frontal, appearing in a new capacity. People who express dissatisfaction with this or that hero, in fact, do not agree with his actions and words, which means they reflect and draw conclusions.

Aleksey Mikhailovsky cannot answer only one question - about when the television show will close. He does not understand why to do this if he is watched by 35 million viewers. A new site has been built, and a second site is operating in parallel - in the Seychelles, which allows you to check the relationship of established couples. In the asset of the project for 12 years, 7 born children, 16 weddings. The painting of Mikhailovsky himself can be considered the seventeenth.

Private life

Natalya Varvina, born in 1982, from the city of Volzhsky, was on the project for four years, but she never built a relationship. Already in the perimeter, she graduated from high school in her native Volgograd. She couldn’t build relationships, but the charming blonde acquired real friends. Together with Elena Bushina and Alexandra Kharitonova, she sang in the Instra Witches trio, she felt too confident on the project, and in May 2011 she voluntarily left it. As it turned out, she didn't go anywhere. First appearedat the birthday party of Olga Buzova, accompanied by Alexei Mikhailovsky, and on June 2, 2013, she invited friends to a wedding with her already real spouse. Alexei Mikhailovsky and Natalya Varvina registered a relationship, as it turned out, a year ago, without advertising it in any way.

Vasilina Mikhailovskaya after the divorce continued to work on the project until 2014, without commenting on the situation. Varvina, who was appointed concert director, also got a job there. For the tenth anniversary of the show, the ex-wife nevertheless left the TV set, explaining this fact with moral fatigue.

Participants' opinions about Mikhailovsky

The statements of the former members about the producer are diametrically opposed. May Abrikosov openly accused him of being addicted to drugs, to which Alexei Mikhailovsky persuaded the participants. Alessandro Materazzo openly declared about directing the plot, according to which everything was done to quarrel him with his future wife Svetlana Davydova. Tigran Salibekov left a caustic comment on the message about Mikhailovsky's marriage to Natalia Varvina.

There are also rave reviews, the author of one of which is Alexandra Kharitonova, who believes that the producer played a significant role in her life. He made her more purposeful, helping her to realize her desires.

But they all agree on one thing - the project owes its success to two people: editor-in-chief Alexander Rastorguev and producer Mikhailovsky, who are available to participants via mobile communications 24 hours a day, take an active part in their lives, providing real assistance andsupport. And the fact that the project is changing, again and again raising the ratings, is the great merit of the producer, who has become a real “think tank” for him.
