October 12, 2004'Milionovy par" connected to Nova sale?Bear with me for a second while I engage in idle speculation. After looking at the various stories connected to TV Nova's cancellation of "Milionovy par," and then the headlines today that say Nova's in play could a line be drawn between the two? The Nova management decision to completely cancel the show was puzzling. After all, Nova hasn't exactly been a staunch defender of Family Values in the past, so why the sudden holier-than-thou? Could it be because their potential buyer would look at shows like "Milionovy par" askance? Who could that kind of buyer be? Bertelsmann is a name that's been thrown around. The saddest thing in the whole "Milionovy par" scandal is that the actual people involved - especially Ester Ladova - is going to have a hard time living this down. Then again, in an era defined by Paris Hilton, could this be the real beginning of her career?
