General Director of “Russian Public television”, the gentleman of two awards “For merits before Fatherland”, Order of Friendship of peoples, laureate of State prize of the USSR, obtained in 1978, Anatoliy Lysenko divided professional opinion, that it confuses the “rabid media”.
Having been raised and long time worked in the mass media system of the Soviet Union, he believes that the propaganda, no matter how totalitarian it was not, need to be targeted, based on characteristics of populations are calculated. From his point of view, the hysteria that poured out a torrent with a Central channel, first and foremost, demonstrates the low level of awareness and professionalism of those preparing the many supposedly Patriotic transmission. In the complete dominance of expert politicized programs in the broadcast grid in the afternoon with fire you will not find professionals who quietly, comprehensive language to explain to the population the economic and financial issues, a complete lack of understanding which leads to explosions unmotivated consumer and speculative demand for the currency.
Hardly anyone would think to blame the man in the superficiality, or lack of professionalism.
“Though not beautiful, but I like it”
Anatoly Lysenko was born in Vinnitsa, Ukraine. Their belonging to this great fraternal people he occasionally demonstrates scathing phrases like “Could be grse”, which in Ukrainian are shorter and sound more biting (to compare “Any trouble could be more”).
Without a special effort their parents (that now children are taught to read before they science to potty learn) curious child in 3 years learned to read, and at the time of admission in 1st class mastered the entire “War and peace” and started “Anna Karenina”.
Expulsion from school (in 9th grade, he threw the cover away from the desks in the teacher) did not stop to finish the Moscow Institute of railway transport engineers. As Lysenko was once told in an interview with Viktor Shenderovich to “Radio Liberty”, from this “from the page corps of the Ministry of Railways” was released many actors, film Directors, magicians, sports commentators. In conjunction with higher education Lysenko began to participate actively in the filming of TV shows, and in 1965 he moved to the TV from the factory finally.
He had a legendary teacher. To work it took Nicholas Months direct supervisor was Valery Ivanov, and sculpted from the television Lysenko, Margarita Eskina, who called it “Tolyatti”.
He started with host and producer Alexander Maslyakov and Vladimir Voroshilov. With his active participation has received a start in life “KVN”, “come on, girls”, “come on guys”, “sincerely”, “Hello, we are looking for talents”, “What? Where? When?“.
“The idea was to divert young people from hearing foreign radio stations”
New Soviet and then Russian TV has begun with the program “the View”, conceived and fostered by Alexander Yakovlev. In the book “the Beatles of perestroika” Vlad Listyev was respectfully called Anatoly Lysenko, “the Pope”, and the participants and heroes of the first gear are still confident that the program was created by the KGB to destabilize Soviet rule, the coming to power of democratic forces, which themselves undermine their own democratic ideas. The great plan was a success – everything is back to normal, “Operation Golgotha” was completed ahead of schedule. Lysenko did not confirm and did not refute this. He recalls how Yakovlev masterfully evaded the answers. But the fact that some of the characters strongly recommended to invite, encouraged to ask specific questions, he’s a Communist from 1965, not hides, but never voiced the names of these people.
Anatoly Lysenko has always been able to negotiate with authority, without falling into the disgusting servility and enthusiasm. Since the creation of the VGTRK it for 6 years was its CEO, and later in 2001 came back as a counselor. From 1996 to 2000, he was responsible in the government of the Moscow telecommunications and mass media, his efforts from scratch was created by the TV channel “TV-Center”.
18 July 2012 the Russian President signed a decree according to which head of the public television, was appointed Anatoly Lysenko. Company him in the difficult task of promotion of the resource, completely devoid of entertainment component, amounted to the same masters: Leonid Roshal, Oleg Tabakov, Karen Shakhnazarov.
“And I’m his time, and snap, and the muzzle in the dirt”
It is Anatoly Lysenko you need to put credit for the fact that when “it became possible” he shared with the General public the knowledge gained in the late 70-ies. Then in preparation for the documentary series “Our biography,” for the 60th anniversary of the great October socialist revolution, he was admitted into the special storage. There he was faced with the ardent revolutionary memoirs of Nikolai Podvoisky, who at the hour described the capture of the Winter Palace a memorable night of 25 to 26 October 1917. It turned out that the mainstay of tsarism was guarded by 60-70 inexperienced cadets, Yes 100 excited ladies from the battalion of death Bokareva, a fence with gates around the Palace were removed back in February (they fenced garden near the Putilov factory), and the revolution in St. Petersburg was almost bloodless (5-6 people sounds not serious to the extent of the event). Even Vladimir Ilich, in his letter to Clara Zetkin wrote: “the Revolution in St. Petersburg was almost bloodless, but in Moscow (thanks to the bungling of Moscow friends) blood was shed“.
And some more quotations of the Patriarch of Soviet and Russian television:
“We live, unfortunately, in the world invented stories. We live in a country in which not to this day disclosed to the archives, there are no countries in the world, including Zimbabwe, or some there’s Zambia, which would not have been disclosed to the archives“.
“Indeed the problem, then what – we don’t know our war, we don’t know how she was going. Sorry, when the country celebrated the 65th anniversary of the victory, she did not really know how many people were killed: plus or minus seven million. Such a little thing.“
“You have hundreds of thousands received the subpoena or the paperwork that the case of your husband, father, son, son-in-law stopped because of lack of crime, but he, unfortunately, died of pneumonia. You know how he received his first rehabilitation. Still “died” of pneumonia, heart failure, bronchitis. Although they were slammed in the second after the verdict. And swallowed. We used to swallow“
