What is the show about

With the help of the project, people who have disappeared for a long time are searched for, and even law enforcement agencies cannot find them. Children meet after many years with their parents, there are close relatives and good friends.

Stories are amazing when people do not see each other for decades and meet here. It is difficult to find another program in which so many positive emotions would be concentrated.

The popularity of the project is also determined by the quality work of the employees. Who hosts the program "Wait for me"? Over the years, the "face" of the program has changed several times. But each time they were chosen exactly for the concept of the project.

The first hosts of the program "Wait for me"

In 1998, the program was shown on the RTR channel. The hosts were Oksana Naychuk and Igor Kvasha. Then the broadcast continued on Channel One, and Maria Shukshina joined the famous actor.

For many years they lived together the history of each guest. The audience could not imagine that the program would be hosted by someone else. and Igor Kvasha became the standard of the project.

In 2005, the actress leaves for maternity leave and gives birth to the twins Foma and Fok. She understands that she needs time for the kids to grow up, and she cannot immediately go to work. Who is broadcasting "Wait for me" at this time?

Until March 2006, she replaced Maria Chulpan Khamatova. In the same period, Igor Kvasha could not work for several months, and Alexander Domogarov took his place. The actor admitted that it is very difficult morally to conduct a program of this format, he takes off his hat to the non-replaceable presenters.

This legendary actor lived difficult life, which is why he took every story of the hero of the program so close to his heart. Igor Vladimirovich was born in 1933 in a family of intellectuals. His father was a researcher, and his mother was a teacher of the deaf.

The childhood of the actor fell on the war years. He remembered well how much grief the Second World War brought to the family. His father died in the war. Therefore, he was especially reverent in the transmission of stories related to that terrible period.

From 1956 to 2005 he played at the Sovremennik Theatre. Igor Vladimirovich still managed to work on the radio and starred in films. Also, the actor actively participated in their dubbing. In total, more than 70 films were released in which you can see this actor.

The actress was born into a family famous director Vasily Shukshin and Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina. Already at the age of one and a half years, the girl first participated in the filming of the film. Therefore, apart from acting, I could not imagine any other career, although I learned to be a translator.

She has acted in more than 40 films and played a large number of roles in the theatre. Maria Shukshina devoted about 15 years to the program "Wait for me" and left the project in 2014.
