Whom did shoki from home meet 2. Is shoki's probation period passed? "We didn't care about each other"

The ex-participant of "DOMA-2" shared what he does outside the TV set. Anton Shoki said that he lacks attention and warmth outside the perimeter, so he chose an unexpected profession.

Anton Shoki left the project in the spring of 2017, along with his beloved Vika Komissarova. However, the couple did not last long outside the perimeter - the guys broke up. Vika remained in Russia, while Anton returned to the United States, where he had previously lived with his guardians. The young man admitted that after leaving DOM-2, his life changed dramatically. On the TV set, Shoki was known as a cheerful, easy-going and cheerful person. Now the ex-participant complained of loneliness.

“Yes, I didn’t expect that I would be overtaken by that very feeling when you are bored and you miss everything that is possible. You are lonely, and no matter what you do, depression always catches up with you. And so everything is fine: alive, healthy and this is the main thing, ”Shoki shared on Instagram.

Anton was one of the main merry fellows of "DOMA-2"

The guy noted that after leaving the project, he took up a completely unexpected business for him. Now Shoki works as a receptionist at one of the local American hotels. Anton himself is surprised by the new profession, but he intends to get all the best and positive out of it.

"What's new in my life? Hmm, yes, everything is the same: I currently live with my former guardian in St. Louis, I got a job as an administrator in a hotel, purely to keep myself busy at least with something. I did not expect that I would like this profession ...

Probably, most likely this is due to the fact that I'm really very interested in meeting new people. In general, I like to communicate, share and give a smile to all those who lack it. And the strangest thing is that I myself lack a good mood inside. I miss, I feel depressed, I worry about what will happen tomorrow. And I spend days and nights in weary loneliness," Anton wrote in his personal microblog.

The former householder also thanked those who are next to him. He clarified that there are few such people. Netizens rushed to support the guy: “You are very good, everything will be fine with you!”, “Anton, everything will be fine with you. Many people have difficult situations in life, you just have to believe in the best. And don't freak out."

On the project, Anton Shoki met with Vika Komissarova

Anton Shoki - the infamous ex-participant of the Dom-2 project The young man had countless fights on his account, he flew out of the show twice and each time tried to denigrate the management of the television set in front of the audience.

Childhood and youth

At birth, Anton bore the surname Batrakov. The boy was born in Cheboksary in a dysfunctional family. When the child was three years old, the mother went to prison, and Anton ended up in an orphanage, where he lived for 11 years. The teenager was adopted by the Shoki family from America, since then the young man has had their last name.

It seemed that great opportunities had opened up in order to build a happy life, but in the States only disappointments awaited. The American dream turned into a nightmare - soon the parents abandoned their adopted Russian son. At the same time, with a scandal - Anton was accused of sexual harassment of other children from this family, the young man first ended up in a psychiatric clinic, and from there for escaping to a special institution for teenagers, who are branded as juvenile delinquents.

By the age of 16, Anton Shoki had changed four foster families. Not finding understanding and happiness in a foreign land, he wanted to return to his native land, but according to the law, it is impossible for a child under 18 to leave. I had to wait. As soon as the young man reached adulthood, he immediately left the land of dreams with the help of the children's ombudsman.

However, problems awaited in Russia - Anton was an unusual orphan, unlike children who grew up in their homeland without parents, the young man was not entitled to benefits and free housing, and there were difficulties with replacing a passport. Shoki settled in a boarding school of his relatives in Cheboksary.

But the difficult fate of the young man marked the beginning of his popularity. Anton became a real star, was a guest on a talk show on television, where he shared his ordeals in America with the public. As a result, he was taken under the wing of a politician and music producer.

Shoki ended up in Moscow, thanks to the patronage of Razin, he changed his documents and acquired a capital residence permit. The producer even bought the young man an apartment in the golden-domed one, which he announced on the program “Live”, and then in Sochi - he opened the “Vozrozhdeniye” charity office there, headed by the ward. In addition, Anton, with the light hand of Andrei Razin, found a new foster mother named Oksana.

However, there was a conflict between Shoki and Razin, and their paths diverged. Anton went for another portion of fame to the TNT project - Dom-2.

"House 2"

The young man came to the clearing of a long-playing show about the construction of love in early February 2017 in the company of his mother, who spoke about the difficult fate of her adopted son. Anton Shoki was going to win the heart, but on the day of arrival he was fascinated by Victoria Komissarova. So much so that after three days the young people declared warm feelings and settled together.

Like all couples in the city of love, Anton and Victoria's relationship was far from ideal. Accompanied by frequent quarrels, partings and stormy reconciliations, the couple even tried to survive each other from "House-2".

Shoki turned out to be a big "brawler". Once he got into a fight with Dmitry Pshenichny, a newcomer to the project, who decided to fight off Komissarov. For such a courageous act, Vika rewarded the chosen one with a declaration of love.

Anton did not stay on the project - he left after Victoria, who did not receive immunity. Shoki accused the leadership of Dom-2 of deceit, the young man was allegedly sent from the show "without severance pay" - bonuses to the main rate.

Personal life

History is silent about the personal life of Anton Shoka before the Dom-2 project. On the first day of appearing on the show, the young man admitted: before that, there was not much experience in communicating with the opposite sex. He complained that the feeling of deep loneliness haunts all his life, and he sees happiness in mutual love and warmth. In his free time, he writes poetry, loves rap and sometimes reads it himself.

After leaving the television set with Victoria Komissarova, Anton parted for a short time. After the former lovers met and realized that the feelings are still alive. For two weeks, the ex-participants of Doma-2 lived in a rented apartment in the capital of Russia, and when the money ran out and they asked to vacate the housing, Vika went to her parents in Krasnodar. Anton could not find a job for a long time, spent the night with friends and even at the station.

Another version of the development of relations says that the couple allegedly began to live together in the girl's parental home in Krasnodar. Vika wrote on social networks that the young man does not work and does not even think about looking for a place. Komissarova's clothing store served as a source of income. Anton Shoki left for Moscow, and in turn began to accuse his beloved on the page of

Anton Shoki (Batrakov) came to the reality show with his foster mother. A young woman told how her husband met a Cheboksary orphan, took pity on him, and adopted him.

But for some reason, Anton lived in a new family for only two months. And if earlier, in America, his adoptive parents handed him back to the shelter, referring to the difficult character of the guy, then “mother” Oksana, after two months of living together with Shoki, decided to hand him over to house 2. She immediately warned that for her soul Anton has not a penny, so the girl who loves him must understand who she is contacting and not count on anything. Oddly enough, this was found on the very first evening, although even the presenter Olga Buzova did not count on this, leaving Anton on the project for three days of a “corrective” period. Does that mean the probationary period has passed?

Love not calculated?

News reached us from the clearing that yesterday Anton and Victoria Komissarova had moved into a separate room. Vika is not embarrassed by the lack of money from her chosen one, she is used to dating such guys. But now Shoki can be calm that they definitely fell in love with him not for money, but for intelligence and beauty. If you fell in love, of course, and not just used it for selfish purposes, so as not to fly out in the women's vote ...

Anton Batrakov (Shocks) was adopted by an American family when he was 14 years old. A boy from Chuvashia, on his way to America, thought that fate had finally smiled at him. He went to the country of freedom with a dream of flying in the sky, of becoming a pilot, of a happy life in an American family, where, in addition to his father and mother, he would have half-brothers and sisters. But after a few months in the United States, he realized that his dreams were not destined to come true. His adoptive parents, whom he did not understand because he did not know the language, handed him over to the police with accusations of sexual harassment of their three children, and then completely abandoned him. After several years of wandering around orphanages and foster families in the United States, Anton nevertheless returned to Russia. And here another story began, also not like sugar, but the world, as it turned out, is not without good people ...

Now Anton is preparing to enter the Faculty of Law and heads a large charity project with the support of a well-known public figure and producer of the Laskovy May group Andrey Razin. The Return Charitable Center will allow Russian orphans with the same unsuccessful adoption as Anton's to return from abroad back to their homeland - to Russia.

Anton told SP-South about his life before adoption to America and after returning to Russia.

Chuvash-American Odyssey

Anton ended up in an orphanage at the age of three due to a situation typical for a Russian orphan: his parents were drinking and they were not up to the child. In addition, the mother, trying to arrange her personal life, changed men and constantly got into some kind of criminal situations, for which she ended up in a pre-trial detention center, and then in a colony, where she is still being held.

“I went to my mother in the colony when I returned from America,” says Anton. - Although I didn’t know her and didn’t love her, I never forgot that she was my mother. It's not her fault that things turned out this way. Life is so ordered. Now I know that life can beat and break anyone. Therefore, I went to her to say that I forgive her. It was probably important for the mother to hear these words from her son.

Anton says about his father that he does not remember him. He abandoned his family early. From relatives there is a brother from another father. With him, he was brought up in an orphanage in Chuvashia until he left for America. The brother, as well as the mother, is now in prison.

Anton agreed to adoption to America on the advice of his good friend, a director from Chuvash Yuri Spiridonov, who essentially replaced his father in that life period. Together they thought that it would be better for Anton. After all, he will have more chances to get an education, having learned to be a pilot, whom the orphan from Chuvashia so dreamed of becoming. True, Anton did not know English, but he hoped to quickly learn the language in an American school.

But in reality, everything turned out differently. The discord between Anton and his adoptive parents began after a couple of months. Anton did not understand his new guardians, and they did not trust the almost adult, as it seemed to them, difficult, Russian teenage orphanage. Anton was dragged to psychological adaptive camps, where he felt out of place. Firstly, he was the oldest among the adopted children in these camps (almost young men), and he was forced, as a small child, to sit on the laps of his guardians and sleep with them in the same bed. As Anton admitted, he just wanted to escape somewhere from this strange and unpleasant situation. And his new parents thought that the boy was wild and abnormal, and tried to protect him from contact with the outside world.

- My adoptive parents did not send me to a regular school, only at monasteries. They were afraid that I would find friends with whom I would spend time. But I still found a friend. He ran to him, and spent the night with him.

My parents began to close me in the room with an alarm. Sensors were placed on the window and on the door. Even at night I could not go to the toilet. But I broke the sensor on the window and ran away. True, the police quickly returned me. Parents after such an outburst were sent to a mental hospital. I stayed there for several months. The doctors found no abnormalities. And then my foster family took me to the director of the psychological camp. There I was locked in the basement for 7 days. They didn't speak to me. I sat alone closed in the room and they pushed the bowl under the door to me like a dog, - Anton tells about life in a foster family.

Through Google translator, Anton was able to explain himself to his "jailers". He said that he no longer wanted to live with the Shoki family, and they, in turn, sent him on a plane to Texas, as he was then told, forever. There Anton went to school and began to communicate with other children. It seemed that life began to improve, but after 3 months, without explaining the reasons, Anton was put on the plane again and returned back to Shoki. Having met the boy at the airport, the American father and mother handed over their adopted son to the police, where they put "bracelets" on Anton's hands and put him in a cell. Only 3 months later, when they began to take Anton to the courts, they explained to him that Shoki had accused him of sexual harassment of their children. From that time on, Anton came from a foster family under social care, who placed him in a camp for difficult children with criminal tendencies. And although the boy went through all the unthinkable examinations and was examined by both doctors and psychologists for bad inclinations and mental sanity and was recognized as normal, he continued to be kept in institutions for "special" children. Then there were three "professional" families, where the "dad" is paid a salary for the maintenance of the child, and many attempts to contact the Russian consul in order to return to Russia. But before this happened, several years passed. During this time, Anton's status in the United States changed from an adopted teenager to a "state".

- When I nevertheless managed to meet with the Russian consul, I was 16 years old. I begged to be taken to Russia. The problem was that in America I was under state guardianship until I came of age. And neither American nor Russian laws allowed me to return to Russia. It turned out that neither our nor the American legislation provides for the return of children in such cases with the preservation of the prescribed benefits, - Anton recalls all the torments that he had to endure before he could return to Russia. “I had to wait until I was 18 years old (until the age of majority under Russian law) so that the Russian consul could provide assistance. During this time I graduated from school with a bronze medal. He worked, bought a car and wanted to go to college to become a pilot. But because of my African-American guardian (third in line after the Shoki family), who treated me like trash, I couldn't do it. There was a time when I spent the night in the park and there was nothing to eat, because the guardian locked the house and could leave for a neighboring state with his son without even warning me. And then mass street riots of African Americans began in my city, and I was so scared that there was only one thought about how to survive at all. Then I wrote many letters to Putin, to Astakhov and the Russian embassy. And finally, they helped me. From Missouri I flew to Houston, and there I was met by myself Lavrov and from there I returned to Russia.

PR against the backdrop of an orphan

- Yuri Spiridonov met me at the Russian airport. Not Astakhov, as the media wrote, not government officials, only my friend. And in the two years that I have been in Russia, not a single official, including Astakhov, has helped me either. I couldn't even get a Russian passport. There was nowhere to live. As an orphan, I was denied housing in Russia. They say that here I am listed on the papers as an adopted child of the American family of Shocks. It turned out that I lost the benefits that were due to an orphan there, and I did not receive them here. Foolishly, I threw away my American passport when I got off the plane in Russia, and then I had to restore it. It cost me a large amount for me - 200 dollars. And the most remarkable thing is that so much has been written and told about me, including Gordon on the "First", and promoted at my expense, but no one helped after the light of the searchlights and cameras went out, - Anton exhaled in his hearts with bitterness in his voice and look.

I never liked PR. When I got off the plane and saw the journalists, I got scared. I didn't want to talk about my life in front of all these cameras. Went back to Cheboksary. Then I realized that I did wrong. I had to stay in Moscow in order to knock on some right doors. Our regions are suffering both financially and in terms of social assistance. For a long time I could not legalize documents on education in order to enter the “higher”. I wrote and called Astakhov, but I could not get through to him ...

He legalized the documents himself, paying 10 thousand rubles. It took, however, 2 years. Now the problem is to refresh knowledge. But I'm not a weak person, I decided to do it, so I'll do it. The knowledge of a lawyer is needed for my purpose, to help orphans like me. And if it works out, then become the Commissioner for Children's Rights under the President of the Russian Federation,” Anton shared.

The world is not without good people

— I am very grateful to Andrey Razin. He noticed me when he came to Cheboksary with the concerts of "Tender May". In the hotel I watched the news and there was a story about me. He found me and invited me, along with the entire boarding school, to the concert "Tender May". And then he said that he was taking me to Moscow immediately after the end of the tour.

He gave me a residence permit, restored my Russian passport and helped me find a job, and now I have an apartment in Sochi thanks to him. And although there are still bare walls and no documents, I hope that everything will be fine. The apartment, by the way, is in the same building where it is planned to open the Return Charitable Center. There will also be apartments for other orphans, just like me, - Anton said about the fateful meeting and plans for the future.

Another good friend in Anton's life (among the few) - Andrey Isaev Deputy Secretary of the General Council of the United Russia party. Anton became friends with Isaev when he had the opportunity to work in the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Although it was a short experience, it was useful. As Anton said, thanks to this work, a new goal was opened in his life and the direction of his current activity appeared - the curator of the Return charity project.

- In Sochi, Andrei Razin and I are opening the official office of the Charity Center for the return of orphans from abroad back to Russia. In October, we must fly to America to open 10 offices of the "Return" Center there. The official head office is planned to open in Washington at the Russian Embassy. Children will be able to apply there directly,” Anton said about the project, adding that the first important steps towards its implementation have already been taken.

— We sent 2,000 letters to various large companies asking for help, and funds have already begun to flow into the budget of the charitable project. Thanks to them, it became possible to purchase 15 apartments for orphans. The site Return-home.ru has already been created, and I am working on its development. Now I find Russian orphans abroad who need help and who want to return to Russia,” says Anton.

Small tragedies on the scale of a big country

In America, of course, there are good families where Russian orphans end up, but there are also terrible cases, much worse than Anton's.

- In March, I contacted my friend Christina Knopp. We are from the same orphanage in Chuvashia. She also wanted to return, but did not wait. A friend killed her. When I found out, I couldn't eat or sleep for a week. It’s terrible that orphans abroad have nowhere to call, to ask for help in a difficult situation,” says Anton.

Christina, who died in the United States, was adopted by the Americans in 2009. The girl died on March 23. What happened to her there, no one told her relatives. Until now, they do not know the circumstances of her death, and they were informed about the death of Christina only after her funeral. Thus ended the life in a foreign land of a Russian orphan girl from the Chuvash province.

Do you think it will

America has taught me a lot. The brain began to work differently, - Anton admits. - My brain seemed to give out another 200% of energy when I began to learn English, and then think in it. And I also realized that as you think, it will be so. I always try and try to see the good in the bad. When you are positive, you get a lot.

Yes, I can go to America, but I decided to stay in Russia and change our country for the better. As they say, where he was born, he came in handy there. I am proud of my country no matter what. I see Russia as promising and I hope that others will understand this and then everything will work out ...

A look at Russian realities

“The main thing is to learn to see people and evaluate them not from the point of view of how much money a person has, but from the position of what he is, what he can do for himself and for others,” Anton shared his thoughts.

- Sometimes I ask myself the question, wouldn't it be better to stay in America? I wanted so badly to return to Russia and believed in my country, but in reality everything is different than on TV. I saw that Russia suffers greatly from corruption and this causes a lot of trouble. It is clear that Russia is changing for the better. Russia is a big country with great opportunities. Including financial ones, but people live poorly. Again, the reason is corruption. And now everyone is being told that there is a crisis in the country, but in reality there is no crisis - this is an artificially created situation. The money just goes in the wrong direction.

I had a case here in Sochi when I was walking along the embankment with a bottle of beer in my hand. The police stopped me and asked for my documents. I had an American passport with me. Seeing him, the policeman began to tell very emotionally how he wants to go to America, and how bad and hopeless it is in Russia. This is very revealing!

Simple people depend on officials, and they do who knows what instead of working in their place. From this, such is the attitude of Russians towards their country, and there is no faith in the future. This is the main difference between Russia and America. Now I understand why Russians are so eager to leave for the United States, despite the propaganda that everything is bad there. In fact, we have huge prospects and opportunities.

There is "above" someone and he sees everything...

- Meeting with Andrey is like help from above. Yes, there was a lot of bad things in my life, but now I understand that I had to go through all these negative moments in order to come to who I am now and what I have now. I never get tired of thanking God for everything that was in my life. I can’t say that I often go to church, but I believe in God or in the one who is above. When I feel bad, I just look at the sky and talk to HIM. I'm sure HE hears me. And you will always get what you need if you ask. Not a million dollars of course, but some real things. I know for myself, - says Anton. - And after they helped me get to Moscow and restore my passport, I believed 100%.

I lived in Chuvashia, worked everywhere and with whomever I could: as a photographer, a bartender, I sold jackets in order to save up for a passport. Money was very difficult. They also needed money for a ticket and a hotel. I asked for help so much and then they call me from Moscow, from the first channel, from the Gordon program, and offer to participate in a TV show: they pay for travel, a week's hotel stay and they also give a fee of 40 thousand. It was like a miracle!

"Dom-2" as a "panacea" for begging

- There was a story when I wanted to get to Dom-2, I even applied through my brothers Zaitsevs had every chance to pass the casting. But, firstly, I did not know what it was then. And secondly, I had nowhere to live and there was a problem with work due to the lack of registration and a Russian passport. An acquaintance suggested, they say, go to Dom-2. There is a roof, and they will feed, and they will give more money. Plus, you'll be on TV. They will find out about you and can help in a life situation. That's why I went there, but when I found out what it was, I myself refused. Although who knows what would have happened if he got there. Life is so unpredictable… — says Anton.

Russian orphans must stay in Russia!

- In my orphanage in Chuvashia, where I grew up, now there are three or four children left. It can be seen that children's homes in Russia are disappearing due to the policy of the state. This is great! We can do without foreigners here. I am categorically against our children being taken abroad. Although such as Navalny are pushing a different policy towards our orphans. In this regard, I think that officials are simply making money on orphans. If you delve into this topic, you can understand what is at stake.

It is necessary to prohibit the export of our children abroad - this is our future, how can one be so wasteful! Think about it, in just 2 years (from 2012 to 2014) 60,000 children from Russia were given up for adoption abroad. Now multiply exponentially by imagining that these children will have children and then grandchildren and great-grandchildren. What could they do for their country - maybe there are geniuses among them?! In addition to the demographic issue, this is also an impressive monetary circulation, not to mention other aspects, - Anton Batrakov-Shoki expressed his thoughts.
