From my point of view, this is the most likely explanation for everything that happened. I can only rejoice that this misunderstanding was finally resolved, ”Wasserman told RT.

According to Smirnov, the issue of the return of the Friends was discussed by the ethics commission of the club - and the club members have no reason to doubt its decisions.
“A man has done a lot for the club and does a lot, a man is very good, a good man! .. The game has existed for 40 years. When Sasha started, he was 20 years old and I was a little over 20 years old.

Questions and answers
In February 2019, Ilya Ber, editor-in-chief of the program “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” Published an official appeal to the Ethics Commission, as well as to the board of the International Club Association (IAC), on which he accused the connoisseur of “What? Where? When? ”Alexandra Druzya in an attempt to bribe and requested his disqualification.
To the publication on the network, he attached a record and a transcript of them with the Friends of the conversation. From the conversation it could be concluded that Ber agreed to provide answers to the questions “Who wants to become a millionaire?” To the Master of ChGK in advance. It was assumed that in exchange Druz will share the winnings.
A friend confirmed the authenticity of the record, but noted that it was Behr who offered him a deal with answers for money - and he simply decided to play along with the editor and see how far the interlocutor could go.
The expert added that his partner in the filming of the intellectual quiz “Who wants to become a millionaire?” Victor Sidnev was aware of the agreement. According to Druzya, together with a colleague, they decided not to win if the answers provided by Ber were correct.
As a result, Druz noted, the answers to the last questions of the program did not coincide with those that the quiz editor dictated. This information was later confirmed by Sidnev. He really knew about the deal, but urged Friends not to participate in it.
After the scandal, Channel One suspended both Friends and Bera from work on “What?” Where? When? ”And“ Who wants to be a millionaire? ” The broadcaster considered the actions of the editor and connoisseur “unethical and unacceptable”, noting that they did reputational damage to the television game and the entire channel.
At the end of May, Druz apologized for the situation and expressed regret for the damage to the reputation of the IAC, which caused a scandal with his participation. Subsequently, the Director General of Channel One Konstantin Ernst said that he did not exclude the possibility of the connoisseur returning to the television game if he “explained himself to the audience”.
