All the best for children

Tatyana Kirillovna Chernyaeva, a teacher from the entertainment and educational children's television program “ABVGDeyka,” always worked under this motto. Her personal charm brought her the love of Soviet schoolchildren and preschoolers, but behind the scenes Chernyaeva worked even more: she headed the editorial office of children's programs, did a lot of journalism, and Tatyana Kirillovna’s merits were marked by such awards and titles as a member of the Academy Russian television and laureate of the “Best Pens of Russia” award.

Around the world

Yuri Aleksandrovich Senkevich hosted his own program “Travellers Club” for 43 years. During this time, the audience managed to discover even the most remote corners of our planet with him. However, this program should not be considered purely entertaining, because Yuri Aleksandrovich put into it all the facets of his talent: a military doctor by training, colonel of the medical service and candidate of medical sciences, he approached travel with the same professionalism. Among other things, he took part in several expeditions, for example to Antarctica and Everest. The brainchild could not outlive its father, and after the death of Yuri Senkevich, the Travelers Club was closed.

Music has tied us

Permanent co-host music festival“Song of the Year” for 18 years (from 1988 to 2006) was Angelina Mikhailovna Vovk. But her track record includes much more programs in which she managed to work as a presenter: among musical ones there are “Morning Mail”, “Music Kiosk”, “Blue Light”, various concerts, evenings classical music, festivals and competitions, children’s – “Alarm Clock”, “ Good night, kids”, “Visiting a fairy tale”, as well as many others.

Angelina Mikhailovna is “in the mix” to this day as a radio announcer and TV presenter, and her professional activity awarded the titles “Honored Artist of the RSFSR”, “ People's Artist RF" and many public awards.

Angelina Vovk continues to remain energetic thanks to healthy image life and numerous hobbies, including winter swimming, alpine skiing, growing crops and many others.

Of course, today we haven’t talked about everything outstanding announcers and TV presenters from the times of the USSR, but we will definitely dedicate our publications to them in the future. Stay tuned, as they say, it will be interesting!

Now the word “announcer” has become a common noun. And everyone who goes on air broadcasts the “Time” news program is called announcers. But it's a big difference. Because announcer is a very rare profession, very interesting, created by radio announcers back in the thirties, probably. This is an epochal radio: Vysotskaya, Levitan. They created this profession, and they collected bit by bit what a person at a microphone is and how he should behave at a microphone. They produced little brochures like this. There, the duties of the announcer consisted of many points. Now the TV presenter does not know these points (as I hear, so I say) and does not adhere to these norms, he speaks as God bestows on his soul. That's the difference. So today's television is the television of the TV presenter. There is no such thing as an announcer, he was excluded.

Television has not become different, it has not become worse. And it didn't get any better. It’s just a spirit of the times that the profession of an announcer has over time grown or been reborn into the profession of so-called TV presenters. This is probably what was supposed to happen. These TV presenters must master the art of journalism, be able to write, be able to compose texts, but also, of course, perform them. And this, unfortunately, is the Achilles heel of today's television. Alas, sometimes talented, good, literate texts are performed completely differently from what the art of television requires. Not just a means mass media, namely the art of television. But art still requires the highest level of performance skill. Television journalism requires the journalist to naturally develop his natural artistry. This is not theatricality, but such an ability, in your own manner, to talk in an original way about what you saw and heard, to convey your experiences, your attitude to the events that you are talking about. This is the natural artistry that develops if a person practices public speaking from a young age.

Of course, television has changed. There is a whole squad of universal professionals missing. Anyone who knows how to think will understand that this answer says it all. Universal - you can highlight this word somehow. We did everything: we read the news, we hosted programs, we hosted various concerts, we wrote texts, filmed reporting materials, read voice-over text in a variety of programs. Show me now at least one person who is called, excuse me, a “star”, at least one who can do all this, who will do it on high level and, most importantly, competently.

7. Natalya Mikhailovna Andreeva has been a TV announcer since 1982, now a teacher at Moscow State University, Department of Journalism and Television. Teaches the subject “TV Presenter Skills, Speech Techniques and Acting Skills”

Yes, it (television) has become significantly different. The TV presenter must first of all show respect for the viewer and show him his attitude. This is especially necessary in our rather harsh times, when people lack attention and some kind of human warmth. Even if you are just reading information, why not smile a little? Now, for the most part, it’s like this: he came, rattled off his salary and left. Or today’s shows: they sit and joke with each other for an entire hour in the studio, muttering something under their breath, they made jokes themselves, they laughed themselves. I don’t care, the viewer understood me, he didn’t understand. The main thing is that I have support: the extras are there behind the scenes, the co-hosts are so funny. Why are such transfers needed, what do they carry? Either they demonstrate themselves, how beautiful and wonderful they are, or they work for each other, but not for the viewer. This, of course, does not mean that there are no good presenters now. Yes, but it is extremely rare. Now there are no such announcers with capital letters people they looked up to and wanted to be like. Because the most important things that distinguish a real announcer have disappeared from television: goodwill towards the viewer, culture of speech and culture of communication.

9. Viktor Petrovich Tkachenko - CT announcer since 1970; in 1981 he was fired from the USSR CT for the fact that friendly companies parodied Brezhnev, in 1988-1997 an employee of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, now a teacher at the First National TV School

Of course, television has changed. Has changed, and not in better side. Well, why are there no announcers? There are people whose functions are similar to announcers. We were also not only announcers. Both my colleagues and I hosted some other programs, large, wide ones. Just the name of this work has changed, that's all. Of course, it’s bad that a female announcer doesn’t appear and announce the next event that will be on the screen. Of course, it was closer to the person, to the listener; closer to the one sitting in front of the TV. Television was much softer, more accessible, more understandable and precisely closer - I think this word is very suitable. And now it's just crazy. The delirium is happening on the screen. I hardly watch TV now. Sometimes I watch some sports programs, news - very rarely.

I believe that without an announcer there is no face of the channel. Because, no matter where you look, the programs are different, and it’s good when there is a person who knows how to move from one program to another, precisely by inviting. After all, all ratings mainly depend on the good, average, excellent average person - in in a good way this word. People who specialize in something have long had their own separate channels. But on federal channels I wish there was a face. Several people who would invite would talk about this program confidentially, heartfeltly, with their own attitude. When an individual is interested in what he says, when he experiences what he says, it is always noticeable. Such a person will not be switched to another channel. Nowadays, not only do people have clip-based thinking, they also lack individuality - something that I and our entire old school have always stood for. Each channel had its own personality, and the announcers themselves were associated with specific channels. In addition, our work was partly educational; we won our audience. Now they speak quickly, as they write text messages, they shorten everything, I am a terrible opponent of all this. The word is alive, it must be treated with respect, just like a person. The kind of television we have now is of its time. He has a frantic pace, even frightening at times - maybe it’s worth slowing down somehow. Maybe you should even do programs that are a little relaxing from time to time.

In fact, many announcers resembled mechanical robots, and the broadcast should be live. I have always been for what was introduced in television programs - for the presenters. I can’t say that television has changed completely for the better: there is too much garbage. But it definitely became more alive. They began to speak more simply, more freely, which is wonderful. But with all this, the culture of speech was lost. We followed every word, looked up every word in the dictionary, but now the presenters have one mistake after another, a bunch of incorrect accents. But news broadcasting has become much freer. In general, we wrote everything from dictation, we had special services that checked everything, we could not say a word without them. That is, the content has become so free, but the form often suffers from this.

16. Anna Nikolaevna Shatilova, 1985

On Monday, November 21, Television Day is celebrated around the world. First stars Soviet Union they had no idea what voice-over text was, but their velvety voices were recognized by the whole country. “StarHit” congratulated the TV legends on their professional holiday.

Igor Kirillov

Central television announcer from 1958 to 2004

Just four years ago, when StarHit congratulated Igor Leonidovich on his 80th birthday, he was cheerful and cheerful. He talked about his young wife Tatyana from Moldova. But in Lately acquaintances of the host of the “Time” program noticed that he somehow passed... “Everything is fine,” Igor Kirillov tells StarHit. - Sometimes I work. Yesterday I hosted an event at the Central House of Writers with Anna Shatilova. I don’t leave the house in bad weather; at my age it’s dangerous. No mood. There is nothing to watch on TV. Only the wife entertains.”

The announcer met Tatyana in 2007 in a store where she worked as a salesman. One day a woman offered to help Kirillov with the housework. And then she got into trouble - she lost her job, and with it her home. Igor Leonidovich sheltered Tatyana. An affair began between them. It so happened that Kirillov’s children are not next to him. Daughter Anna lives in Germany. Son Vsevolod, co-owner of a hunting organization in Africa, died of pancreatitis in Cameroon. He left four children. Only after the death of Vsevolod Kirillov was able to meet his grandchildren, but no friendship developed.

Despite her advanced age - and this Saturday, November 26, Anna Nikolaevna turns 78 years old - she is still in demand in the profession. Shatilova still leads parades on Red Square, dedicated to the Day Victory, as well as other holidays.

“The demand has become even greater than before,” the presenter shared with StarHit. – I have events several times a week. So I will work on my birthday. Evgeny Kochergin and I are hosting a concert at the Ice Palace in Podolsk. Things are going well. I am engaged in my favorite profession. We are friends with our son Kirill, his wife Alina and children. We are one family – financially too. I spend all the fees on my grandchildren, 12-year-old Svetoslav and 14-year-old Vsevolod. Senior Seva and I travel a lot together. We were in Veliky Ustyug, Germany, and France. And I myself flew around the whole world during the Soviet Union. Trips are predicted for me by my horoscope: I’m a Sagittarius, I don’t like to sit still. My son Kirill is talented. He is a translator and writer. Recently I translated Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet” into Russian. Kirill and his family often visit my country house two-story house, where there are all amenities. I built it to spend time with my family there.”

One of the hosts of the Vremya program, Azalia Likhitchenko, is often invited to television talk shows, but she refuses: “Basta. You have to know when to leave." “I don’t miss it,” Aza Vladimirovna shared with StarHit. - Guests all year round. Friends are coming. My daughter Ekaterina lives on the next street and often comes to see me. Grandson Dima calls every day. Igor Kirillov is always available by phone. I spend the winter in a Moscow apartment. Due to the warmth, I’m moving to a dacha in the Ruza district - I have a plot of six acres and wooden house on the mountain. Although it is soviet, it is cozy. And in summer there are no mosquitoes. I feel normal. I start every morning with a cup of coffee. My daughter always suggests hiring an au pair. But I refuse! This is my movement. So I clean up myself. The only ailment I have is asthma. I can’t take a normal walk in the cold fresh air– I begin to choke. I'm taking medication. While I’m sitting at home, I listen to the radio and watch TV, as well as Andryusha Malakhov’s programs.”

91-year-old Viktor Ivanovich went through the war, received shrapnel wounds in his legs, which began to remind him of himself in last years. Balashov recently underwent surgery. Now he walks with a stick.

“I’m recovering at the dacha,” the announcer shared with StarHit. – I do gymnastics, stick to a diet. According to doctors' forecasts, there will be more than one operation. My daughter, Margarita Viktorovna, already retired, often visits me. But the other day I flew to France. The granddaughter and her husband work and live there. My beautiful great-grandchildren are growing up: Shurik is already eight years old, he, like me in my youth, practices sambo, and the beauty Irishka is four years old. I live small, thanks to the help of friends and faith. I often go to church, confess and receive communion.”
