It is not easy for a Russian consumer who watches television programs every day to navigate a dense stream of information. On one channel they claim that "the product is good for health", and on the other, on the contrary, they recommend it "not to eat". Political observer Dmitry Kiselev clearly outlined his position. Thus, he attracted the attention of the target audience to his programs. And accordingly, the hostility of opponents.
Information production
The practice of recent decades convincingly shows that people come to journalism in different ways. The route, which Dmitry Kiselev chose, there is no reason to call unique, but there are interesting novelties in the biography. The child was born in a family where established musical traditions reigned. And it is not surprising that Dima attended a music school in the classical guitar class. Music education, as well as knowledge of foreign languages, gives ambitious young men additional opportunities to build a successful career in an independent life.
After graduating from high school with an in-depth study of the French language, Dmitry entered the medical school. After receiving the appropriate diploma, he realized that the work of a paramedic on an ambulance was not for him. Already consciously, with a cold head and reckoning on the future, the failed paramedic takes to study at the Department of Scandinavian Philology at Leningrad University. In 1978, a twenty-four-year-old graduate who speaks Norwegian begins work at the State Radio and Television of the Soviet Union.
Philological education allows him to quickly become a leading employee in the editorial staff of programs in Polish and Norwegian. It is here that Dmitry gains practical experience and he has a taste for the work of a journalist. At the end of the eighties, when the notorious “perestroika” was already in the foul, he was invited to Moscow as a correspondent for the Vremya program. In his materials, Kiselyov unobtrusively shows how the Soviet people live on the eve of the long-awaited changes.
