For more than two decades, Alexey Pimanov has been conducting the copyright program "Man and the Law" on Channel One. In addition, he is familiar to the audience as a director, producer and public figure. Once in childhood, Pimanov wanted to become a historian, but the love of television prevailed. Alexei’s successful television career confirms the correctness of his choice.
Childhood
The future journalist was born in 1962 in Moscow. Parents broke up when the boy was very young. Mother had to make a lot of efforts to provide Alyosha and his older brother with everything necessary. After a while, my mother met a man who replaced the father of the guys, but they always remained grateful to the mother for what she had done for them.
From an early age, Alyosha preferred older friends, his brother's company was quite suitable for this. With a six-year-old child, he began to play football and hockey, which he continued until he was twenty years old. Pimanov even happened to play for the second composition of the club “Locomotive”. At one time, a teenager was seriously interested in history, he was ready to devote this science to his entire future biography. But the teacher in this subject encouraged his student to choose a different profession.
Youth
After graduating from the eight-year-old, Pimanov began to study at a technical school with a degree in Automation and Telemechanics. The next step in his education was training at the Moscow Institute of Communications. Then he had to make the final choice: move on to professional sports or continue his studies at the university. The young man chose the second, but did not have a chance to finish his studies; soon a summons to the army came. The rookie came to serve in Kazakhstan at the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Returning home, the young man continued to receive the profession of broadcasting engineer already in absentia. At the same time, he got a job at Ostankino. The first studio experience opened the way to the top of the television Olympus for Pimanov.
TV
A young man with a football past was offered to conduct one of the sports programs, but he chose the work of a video engineer and cameraman in a television center. Soon he was offered a place in the editorial office of the socio-political direction, and he tested himself as a correspondent of the TV and Radio Company “ViD” and then the host of the program “Steps”. When a novice specialist realized that he was completely captivated by television, he felt the need to get a specialized education and graduated from the journalism faculty of Moscow State University. In the mid-90s, Pimanov's debut authoring project, “Behind the Kremlin Wall, ” appeared, he became the director of the Resonance studio, and soon became the head of Ostankino shopping center. Alexey did not forget his long-standing passion for sports, and became the producer of the programs "Sport News" and "Football Review".
Today, Ostankino produces a significant part of the material for central television channels, including the First. Most popular Pimanov brought the program "Man and the Law." For the first time, its name appeared on television in 1970. “The program is aging with the viewer, ” - this is how the journalist described it in the mid-90s. In 1997, the new project leader was able to restart it. The subjects remained the same - the most important events in the country, the work of law enforcement services, journalistic investigations and disclosures.
