Show must go on: How the participants of the first Russian reality shows live. “Behind the Glass”: what happened to the participants of Russia’s first reality show Show Behind the Glass year of release

The show “Behind the Glass” gave the brightest and most daring participant in the project the same fame - bright, daring, but fleeting. Not shy about anything, risking sex in front of cameras, seducing and abandoning, she came to the program as an unknown girl and came out as a popular sex bomb. She starred for Playboy, became the heroine of various shows and in every possible way fueled interest in herself with scandalous stories. On the project, Margot began an affair with another participant, Max Kasymov, they even got married after the show and lived together for five years, but then ran away. From her marriage, Margot has a son, Marat.

Margarita is now 39 years old. Only YouTube footage and glossy pages remind her of the past. Margo organized a children's ethnic studio "Kokora", immersed herself in self-development, learns the wisdom of her ancestors, imbues everyone with patriotism and love of roots. Amazing metamorphosis.

MAX KASYMOV

Max is cool. He is one of the most successful and sought-after designers in the capital. He has his own studio, which is engaged in the creation and design of interiors. To say that Kasimov’s projects are beautiful is to say nothing. The abyss of taste, style, functionality and convenience - this is why Maxim’s work is appreciated all over the world.

Maxim did not come to the design business right away. For some time he studied music, then he searched for himself and finally found it. The young man not only doesn’t like to remember the show “Behind the Glass” - he crossed it out of his life and categorically does not want to hear this phrase. Maybe it's right. Maxim 17 years ago and Maxim today are two completely different people.

ZHANNA KAZAN (AGAGISHEVA)

Sweet, balanced Zhanna, who, by the way, became one of the winners of the show, has been a successful businesswoman for several years, the owner of the “Interesting Kindergarten” chain of private kindergartens. Zhanna selects teachers herself and pays maximum attention to the child’s psychological comfort. Children in fashionable kindergartens study capoeira, singing, dancing, and English.

For a long time, Zhanna’s name was associated with the grandson of Boris Yeltsin, with whom the girl, according to rumors in the party, had a long affair. But conversations remained conversations, the wedding did not take place. Zhanna married a businessman, changed her last name to Ryzhova, gave birth to two children, but soon separated. Now Zhanna is married for the second time, her third child is growing up, she participates in business events, gives interviews, and remembers the project without much emotion. It was and was.

Olga Orlova

Cheerful, energetic Olga is now 41 years old. She was the first to leave the project - the audience did not forgive her for wanting to make love with two participants at once, and then together with Denis Fedyanin she wrote a book about this unusual experiment. Then the girl returned to her native Rostov-on-Don, where she founded a network of yoga clubs. Olga is a professional trainer, Ayurveda specialist, Thai massage master, she often participates in conferences and knows absolutely everything about a healthy lifestyle.

Perhaps it is yoga and the Indian acceptance of the world that help Olga remember the “glassy” period with a feeling of gratitude. The program helped Olya get to know people, and herself.

DENIS FEDYANIN

Perhaps the most mysterious hero of the show. Denis, together with Zhanna, became the winner, taking away 15 thousand dollars from the glass house. Then there was the book that we already talked about above. But after the book, Fedyanin decided to carefully disguise his life. A couple of murky photos on pages on social networks - that’s all the information known about Denis. They say he has not married and is pursuing a career that is again very vaguely designated as “international.”

"Behind the glass"- the first Russian reality show and one of the highest-rated projects in the history of Russian television, aired on TV-6, TNT and TVS channels. An analogue of the famous international reality show “Big Brother”.

The creators spoke of the new program as a breakthrough into the future. Here are the arguments they gave to prove they were right:

a) The information is not distorted by political assessments;

However, every day in the editorial offices of newspapers and on television, the phones were hot from hundreds of calls from people demanding to stop broadcasting the television project “Behind the Glass,” and visitors to the Internet site of the same name unequivocally spoke out about the extreme primitiveness of the show.

According to Kirill Nabutov himself, 30% of the population watches the program and 90% of those watching claim that they hate it. “Why did this story suddenly become so interesting to millions of people? – Nabutov asks rhetorically, implying the functional necessity of the spectacle that he brilliantly guessed. Let us give a detailed answer to this important question.

Several young men and women, having signed a contract, spend 34 days in a glass box without the right to go outside, under the constant surveillance of television cameras transmitting images to the curious. Flickering in the kitchen, the process of eating, lying on the sofas, trying to occupy oneself, chatting, quarrels and bickering give the impression of severe melancholy and the meaninglessness of what is happening.

But sexual life is officially allowed. Packs of condoms, carefully laid out in the compartments of the glass aquarium from the very beginning, clearly indicate to the project participants what exactly they can do during the long month of imprisonment. According to the rules of the glass box, all intimate activities of the experimental subjects are open to eager observers, if any appear.

Sex, spied through a keyhole, but in the technologies of the 21st century - with a color image, good sound, in the comfortable conditions of a home chair - is the main content of the program. However, voyeurism is an anomaly of sexual behavior and, according to the classification of the World Health Organization, it belongs to psychosexual disorders. They try to treat voyeurs, although in Western countries there are special peep shows, where in closed booths, for a fee, they can satisfy their passion by watching sexual intercourse, or spying on women undressing. Was the program really intended for a small contingent of people with sexual deviations?

Secret clauses of the contract

The secret clauses of the contract are clearly visible in the behavior and actions of the project participants and form a through line that moves the sluggish action towards the finale. This line is sex:

– all the inhabitants of the glass box walk half naked;

– conversations on sexual topics turn into flirting;

– the atmosphere is fueled by lesbian passions played out by the participants;

– the baton of intercourse is picked up by the resulting heterosexual couple, where the lady is a former lesbian;

– daily intercourse of a new couple – their quality, the time it takes place – is the main topic of comments on “support means”.

By the end of November 2001, the entire population of the country knows that Olga is more likely to be bisexual than lesbian; Margot had 100 partners, and so on... “The most explicit scenes not shown on air” have already been released on video produced by the Soyuz studio. “Without censorship and cuts! - advertising on TV-6 drones for days, - Without embarrassment or complexes!”

There is a queue at the glass box, like at the Mausoleum. It mainly consists of young people and schoolchildren, although there are also older people.

Facilities

For some viewers, sexual stimuli scattered throughout the television program, repeated by the radio and the press, have an unconsciously attractive effect. Having conditioned the objects and themes, the unconditioned reflex4) greatly strengthened (generalized) sexual attraction and made the magnetism of the glass box irresistible. That's why 90% of viewers continued to watch the program, although they scolded it at all costs. That's where the mausoleum line at the glass box comes from!

Note: The experience of demonstrating in other countries the “Big Brother” series, identical to the TV show “Behind the Glass,” has shown that viewers of these programs become dependent (like a drug) on the usual dose of TV shows in the evenings (“Izvestia,” December 1, 2001, p. 6). When the show went on hiatus in England, a “help line” had to be set up for voyeurism addicts, where they could get psychological advice over the phone.

But these are just flowers. According to A. Bandura's theory of social learning, the influence of television models is so effective, the characters on the screen are so captivating that viewers learn much of what they see, even if they do not feel the urge to learn (Bandura, Grusec & Menlove, 1966).

In order for a person to learn the behavior of a TV model,

– the model must have attractive qualities;

– the model’s participation in dangerous or prohibited activities should not lead to harmful consequences;

– the model must have success, which increases the desire to imitate her behavior.

As you can see, the heroes of the laboratory box fully meet these simple requirements. They are young and attractive. Their participation in lesbian games, television exhibitionism and public coitus did not entail any visible bad consequences. On the contrary, they were met by a crowd of enthusiastic fans, picked up by a white Lincoln, and their behavior was in every possible way supported by money, fame, glory, success (a French stylist names her hairstyle after a lesbian - “Olga”, Max receives offers to work with MTV and the group “Bi-2” ″).

Thus, in addition to the fact that the most simple-minded spectators in line at the glass aquarium were forced to repeat the pattern of behavior of voyeurs, an active attack took place before our eyes, shaking the moral standards of society, new Heroes arose, new models of behavior designed to influence the moral and behavioral attitudes of millions of young people of people.

Goals

Of course, sexual stimulation is almost always present in modern advertising. By determining the subject of trade for a certain category of consumers, it helps to increase sales. However, the total nature of the unfolding spectacle, its obvious focus towards deviant sex, demonstrates a long-known ideology.

We are talking about the ideology of the Western sexual revolution, which proclaimed relational and recreational sex. In the 60s of the 20th century, a variety of sexual entertainment replaced “routine” sex procreation in the USA and Western Europe. The development of this ideology, its widespread distribution and consequences for Western society in the form of demographic collapse are described in detail in the book of the outstanding American sociologist of Russian origin P.A. Sorokina.

Propaganda of same-sex love, perversion, and extramarital affairs leads to a sharp decrease in the birth rate down to the current level of non-reproduction characteristic of “civilized” countries. The means of information support for the “new” television program, like hordes of other Russian media, have long been broadcasting this ideology to the masses under the guise of “freedom of speech.” The work is going well.

Note that sexual deviations are represented by characters equipped with a subcultural image (Tattoos, unevenly sticking out hair, shaved head, piercings, etc.). It is no coincidence that lesbian Olga and Max demonstrate hairstyles that violate generally accepted codes and literally cause disgust. Teenagers identifying with new Heroes will start with an image and continue with behavior patterns that lead to depression. It is no coincidence that these are the characters who have the most negative viewer ratings. Subcultural image, reinforced by an unconditioned reflex caused by sexual deviations - important components of modeling

Who benefits?

The claim of the Dutch company Endemol, which owns the copyright for the production of the Big Brother show, against the TV-6 channel, voiced by the American CNN channel, is nothing more than an advertising gimmick. Equally mythological is the authorship of Nabutov, who, by his own admission, does not see the difference between having sex and decorating a Christmas tree.

The truly interested parties emerged at the online auction, where the voices of the program's characters were purchased. For example, a buyer temporarily residing in London paid $5,800 for a completely useless voice because he was denied a Russian visa for his connection with Berezovsky. Such a high appreciation of the voices of the glass box characters certainly increased their social status and made them more significant.

conclusions

a) The information is not distorted by political assessments.

In fact: there is a broadcast of the ideology of relational and recreational sex, generated by the Western sexual revolution and leading to demographic collapse.

b) We see people's real lives live;

In reality: a dreary endless scenario, with the inclusion of sexual stimuli affecting reflexes.

c) The project is financially profitable, it increases the channel’s rating;

In fact: the project is scandalous, destroys the moral standards accepted in society, and discredits the channel.

d) This is live drama, which is very rare on television.

In fact: this is a precisely calibrated system of psychosocial influences aimed at:

1) demographic containment;

2) modeling the behavior of drug users.

First edition

The show began on the night of October 27-28, 2001 and lasted 35 days, gathering a fantastic audience in front of television screens and directly at the scene of the events: the Rossiya Hotel (the show was watched by up to 40% of the audience in the country) in the center of Moscow, causing a great resonance in society .

The project was created on the initiative of Grigory Lyubomirov with the direct participation of Andrei Praslov, Ivan Usachev and Alexander Levin. The host of the program is Kirill Nabutov, the correspondent is Ernest Matskevichyus. More than a hundred people were involved in maintenance.

The last selection of participants took place live. The action took place in the Rossiya Hotel, where special premises were built. The glass was mirrored from the inside.

The winners, Zhanna Agagisheva and Denis Fedyanin, received 15 thousand dollars in ruble equivalent, although they were initially promised an apartment in Moscow. All seven participants also received a week-long New Year's trip to Finland.

From the name of the program, a large number of new words-occasionalisms (or jargons) (such as glaziers, zastekolye or Zasteklyandiya) were formed, which were popular during the period when the program was aired.

Participants

Guests

Famous people came to visit the participants at the invitation of the creators:

Vasily Strelnikov and Natalya Kapustina (November 4)
Vladimir Zhirinovsky (November 11)
Vladimir Sorokin
Va-Bank

Criticism

Two weeks after the launch of the program, a representative of the Moscow Patriarchate, Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, said that the program was “too frank, even unbridled in nature.” Later, Metropolitan Kirill, answering questions, said that the Russian Orthodox Church “is categorically against this kind of experiments on our television and not only condemns them, but more than condemns them.”

Talgat Tadzhuddin, the Grand Mufti of Russia and the European CIS countries, demanded a ban on the show and called the demonstration of private life “real shamelessness,” and described the show of intimate relationships as “nothing more than propaganda of debauchery.”

Mikhail Leontiev, a journalist and publicist, spoke extremely negatively about the project, called the project participants “ferrets” and was criticized for this by his colleague Marina Lesko, who noted: “The show “Behind the Glass” looks like a fresh show within TV-6 a lift on an old face.”

License problems

Endemol, the company behind the Big Brother concept, has demanded TV6 pay licensing fees, as do the other 20 networks around the world that produce their own versions of Big Brother. In response to the claims, the TV-6 director replied that the idea of creating the show came to him 12 years ago, after reading the dystopian novel “We” by Yevgeny Zamyatin, in which people lived in glass houses, and everyone could see what they were doing.

Subsequent transmissions

Subsequent parts of the reality show did not arouse much interest among viewers or public outcry compared to the first part.

The Last Steak

“The Last Beefsteak” was launched at the very end of December 2001 on the TV-6 channel, and after the channel was liquidated, it was shown on the TNT and NTV-Plus channels. On TNT, the episodes were released in the same volume as previously on TV-6, and NTV-Plus carried out a full rebroadcast of the live broadcast. The meaning of the name is that whoever serves the last steak in a restaurant wins the reality show. The name of the project was a kind of parody of the show “The Last Hero”. The leader of the project was Kirill Nabutov.

This time, the reality show participants were accommodated not in the Rossiya Hotel, but in a specially designated room on Leningradsky Prospekt near the Airport metro station. The list of participants was created with the direct participation of the “glaziers” of the first convocation. The participants in the second project were somewhat older than the participants in the first.

After some time, the “glaziers” split into teams - restaurants “23:30” and “S.V.I.N.” Every day the participants were engaged in restaurant activities. The final of the competition took place on March 10, 2002. Based on the results of the auction, the team from the restaurant “S.V.I.N.” won. And according to the results of the audience vote, Anna Gornushenkova from the same team won.

However, despite its enormous scale, the project did not turn out to be particularly popular among viewers. Among the reasons for the failures are the transition to the TNT channel, whose coverage was then significantly inferior to that of TV-6, as well as strained relations between the project participants.

Now you're in the army

“Now you’re in the army” was launched on June 1, 2002, together with Ukrainian mass media, on the initiative of Alexander Levin, the first general director of TVS (who combined administrative and production work). The Saturday talk show was hosted by former MTV Russia VJ Olga Shelest. Project participants of both sexes, dressed in camouflage uniforms, underwent a kind of young fighter course: they got up at 6 in the morning, obeyed the commands of the military, crawled under barbed wire, fired from machine guns, etc. The main prize was an SUV.

“Now You're in the Army” was expensive, but was not successful with the audience, as a result of which it was interrupted shortly before the end. According to another, more realistic version, the show stopped after the Russian side refused to pay the money required under the contract for the production of the show and the rental of barracks and equipment from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. The action took place in the northernmost (Chernigov) region of Ukraine, in the Desna military unit.

After the broadcast ended, some participants were invited to the final talk show in Moscow. The broadcast took place on July 6, 2002 in a large TVS studio, from where almost all of the channel’s programs were broadcast.

// Photo: frame from the program/Instagram

It is difficult to surprise a modern viewer with television programs, because in the mid-90s and early 2000s there were numerous shows that later acquired a scandalous reputation. “StarHit” decided to recall the most famous projects, and also name several modern programs that have controversial fame. Sometimes such projects went beyond what was permitted, but the audience watched them with pleasure.

"HOUSE 2"

The project “Dom-2” has been released on screens since May 11, 2004. The show is officially considered the longest running in the history of Russian television. Initially, the participants were 16 young men and women who came to the casting in search of love. It was assumed that the strongest couple would eventually receive a house in the Moscow region. It was this building that the guys were engaged in.

The ratings of "House-2" even 13.5 years after its release remain extremely high. New contestants come to the show every week in search of love and fame. Ksenia Borodina remains the only permanent presenter of the project. Also performing in this capacity are Olga Buzova, Vlad Kadoni, Olga Orlova and Andrey Cherkasov.

Thanks to the project, many of its participants became famous. Thus, Olga Buzova is rightly considered one of the most famous women in Russia. Victoria Bonya was able to make a career as a model and TV presenter, who is recognized abroad. Alena Vodonaeva is also a role model for many.

The project became famous due to numerous conflict situations and fights. However, some participants still managed to find their love. For example, Daria and Sergei Pynzar are considered an exemplary family for millions of fans. The couple has been married for many years and has two children.

"WINDOW"

The “Windows” program aired on the TNT channel from 2002 to 2005, and during this period it managed to make a lot of noise. The broadcast dealt with cases from the supposedly real lives of the heroes. Later it was repeatedly proven that professional actors took part in the filming. So, in one of the episodes, the future host of the Dom-2 project, Ksenia Borodina, appeared.

Viewers remembered the project due to the fact that during filming there were regular scuffles, fights, and inappropriate language. The permanent host of the show was Dmitry Nagiyev. Later, the actor explained why he took part in the creation of the scandalous program.

“There are different stages of popularity. The first is called “It doesn’t matter what I do, it matters that I exist.” And when I hosted “Windows,” that’s exactly what I was doing - proving that I exist. Believe me, if James Cameron had invited me to act at that time, I would never have gone to the “Windows” program. But no one invited me to the cinema. And then I just honestly did what I had to do. Although sometimes in the studio I caught myself thinking: “God, where did I end up?” But I had no other choice,” said the showman.

"BEHIND THE GLASS"
The first reality show in Russian history caused an incredible stir. The debut episode of the “Behind the Glass” program was released on October 27, 2001, and then all seven participants instantly became stars.
The essence of the project was that the heroes lived like ordinary people, but their everyday worries and intrigues were broadcast throughout the country. As a result, Zhanna Agisheva and Denis Fedyanin won in a bitter struggle. Each of them received a prize of 15 thousand dollars.
Now the heroes of the scandalous show are trying not to remember their moment of glory. None of them could find their place in show business.
“SEX WITH ANFISA CHEKHOVY”
The scandalous television program first aired in 2005. A sexy girl with a large bust told the whole country about something that was previously customary to remain silent about. Anfisa Chekhova taught viewers how to behave in bed, tested a variety of intimate toys and invited experts on erotic issues to the studio. Almost immediately, the TV presenter turned into the country's main sex symbol.
The erotic show aired until 2012. Anfisa Chekhova herself admitted that she never regretted participating in the television project, because it was largely educational in nature and made her famous at lightning speed.
"LET THEM TALK"
In August 2005, the program “Let Them Talk” appeared on Channel One. Over the 12 years of the project’s existence, the studio discussed hundreds of the most resonant topics, from the scandal surrounding Lindsay Lohan to the rape of Diana Shurygina.
Until the summer of 2017, Andrei Malakhov was the permanent host of the program. His decision to leave the program came as a shock to many fans. That is why the editor-in-chief of the StarHit project wrote an open letter to Konstantin Ernst and all employees of Channel One, not only expressing gratitude to his former colleagues, but also explaining the reasons for his departure.
“Well, in conclusion, about the owner of the main office of Ostankino, on the door of which there is a sign “10-01” attached. Dear Konstantin Lvovich! 45 years is an important milestone in a man’s life, 25 of which I gave to you and Channel One. These years have become part of my DNA and I remember every minute you dedicated to me. Thank you so much for everything you did, for the experience that you shared with me, for the amazing journey along the television road of life that we went through together,” wrote Andrei Malakhov.
Now Malakhov is working on the program “Andrey Malakhov. Live". Dmitry Borisov has become the host of “Let Them Talk” since August 2017. The show is considered one of the highest rated on Channel One.
"12 EVIL SPECTATORS"
The project began airing on MTV Russia in 1999. Its main characters were ordinary spectators who tried to objectively evaluate new music videos of famous singers. Guest stars also appeared in the studio, whose tasks included protecting their colleagues on stage. The show's most evil contestant could be the hero of the next episode.
Often the statements of the “evil spectators” were too harsh and even offensive. That is why the project has gained scandalous fame. It was closed in 2002, but returned to the screens again in 2003. Now the show is airing again, and Yana Churikova is its host.
"SHARKS OF THE FEATHER"
The show was broadcast on TV-6 from 1995 to 1998. The concept was simple: a star guest came to the studio, whose personal life and career successes were actively discussed by young journalists.
Thanks to the project, many journalists became famous, including Otar Kushanashvili and Sergei Sosedov. The second of them admitted on the air of the “Secret to a Million” program that he always tried to express an honest opinion within the framework of the scandalous show.
“Yes, the stars were often offended by us. Sometimes they even asked me not to be invited to the shooting. But in my defense, I want to say that I never beat a man down, I never humiliated those people who did not succeed in the profession,” Sosedov emphasized.
"MONEY DOESN'T SMELL"
The television show aired from February 14, 2003 to August 13, 2004, and during this time it managed to make a lot of noise. The essence of the program was that several participants performed humiliating and life-threatening tasks for which they received financial rewards. The permanent host of the project was Roman Trakhtenberg.
The show received mixed reviews. Many called it revolutionary, but there were also those viewers who felt that the project humiliated the honor and dignity of the participants. Trachtenberg himself spoke negatively about the program. He noted that it was unpleasant for him to work with mercantile people who were ready to disgrace themselves throughout the country for financial gain.
"IN FACT"
The program “Actually” began airing on July 24, 2017, and in just a few months of its existence gained scandalous fame. The essence of the project is that star characters are tested on a lie detector to determine whether they are telling the truth on a particular issue.
“A lie can ruin a person’s life, destroy his career, his family, his future. For a long time I was covered with this lie, I know how hard it is to live with it. In this program I want to help other people hear each other, find out the truth and find out what is really happening to them. I always wanted to host a talk show on Channel One. The time has finally come for it to happen. “I’m returning home,” the man said.
However, many guests of the show immediately began to complain about the quality of the footage. Nikita Dzhigurda, singer Aziza and Danko complained that the new program was staged. In addition, star participants often noted that the conditions they put forward were ultimately not met.
Thus, singer Danko told StarHit that he agreed to filming only to receive financial assistance for his daughter Agatha. He appeared in the studio accusing his wife of infidelity and demanding a DNA test from her. The artist noted that for this they promised to send him a text with a bank card number and an appeal to help the artist’s heiress.

Zhanna, Den, Margot, Max, Olya, Sasha and Tolya... Remember these names? In 2001, thanks to the show “Behind the Glass,” they were on everyone’s lips. What was the fate of the project participants? What do they look like and what are they doing now?

The show “Behind the Glass” is an analogue of the international reality show “Big Brother”, known all over the world. In Russia, the program started in the fall of 2001 on the TV-6 channel and became the first show of this format on the domestic screen. In total, the program “Behind the Glass” was filmed over 35 days, and aroused unprecedented interest among viewers. The filming location was in Moscow, in the Rossiya Hotel, where special rooms were equipped with glass with a mirror surface on the inside. The participants were told that there were cameras in all rooms except the toilets, but it later turned out that they were there too, it was just that the footage of him was not broadcast.

According to the plot of the reality show “Behind the Glass,” six participants, three girls and three young men, lived in an apartment with glass walls specially equipped for the project. The creators of the show could watch their every move around the clock. The heroes were forbidden to leave the apartment, communicate with family and friends, or use the telephone and the Internet. Every week one participant was eliminated. And the winner and owner of a one-room apartment in Moscow could only be a couple formed from the participants during the project. The whole country watched as Zhanna, Den, Margot, Max, Olya, Sasha and Tolya fell in love, fought, made up, flirted and even made love (he came to the project for only two weeks after Sasha voluntarily left Zastekolye). What was the fate of the participants after the project?

Zhanna Agagisheva

Zhannaya appeared in the show “Behind the Glass” at the age of 19. Having formed a couple with Dan, Zhanna won the show. However, instead of an apartment, they received 15 thousand dollars and a trip to Finland during the New Year holidays. After the project, Zhanna worked on television for some time, then got married successfully, began living on Rublyovka and gave birth to two children. In 2009, she opened a private kindergarten. In 2015, she divorced her husband, but soon remarried and gave birth to two more sons.

Margot was considered the most relaxed participant in the show “Behind the Glass.” She was not shy about being naked in front of the camera or demonstrating her passion for Max, whom she married after filming ended. Five years later, the marriage broke up, but the participants managed to have a child - now Margarita is raising her son Marat alone. Margarita became interested in folklore and esotericism, and in her second marriage gave birth to a daughter, Varvara.

A passion for music, in particular the group “The Prodigy” (the hairstyle of a show participant constantly reminded the audience of it), brought Max to the stage. In 2007, his group even performed as an opening act before the concert of this world-famous British musical group. Judging by Maxim’s Instagram page, he continues to maintain good relations with the musicians of “The Prodigy” even now.

And yet, the main passion of his life now is not music, but interior design. In 2013, he opened his own design studio, and constantly posts photographs of his work on his personal page.
