The main task of the media is to convey to people messages about events that occur in the world around them. Journalism faculties train specialists who process news and transmit data to the end consumer. History knows the names of outstanding correspondents who talked about a variety of events and incidents on our planet. In this list, Vasily Mikhailovich Peskov takes pride of place. The journalist worked on a narrow topic. All his stories, sketches and photographs tell us about the nature around us. About nature, about life and about each of us.
Photojournalist of Komsomolskaya Pravda
Most often, success in life is achieved by people who are passionate about their work. The biography of Vasily Mikhailovich Peskov indicated that he was born on March 14, 1930 in a peasant family. Parents lived in the village of Orlovo. Veli is not a tricky economy. They worked a lot. They didn’t starve, but they didn’t swim with fat either. A boy from young nails was taught to work. When his father went to the front, Vasily turned eleven years old, and he remained in the household for the eldest. Three younger sisters grew up in the house. Hoping for outside help was not necessary. After the Victory, life became easier.
Vasily graduated from seven classes and entered the local school of projectionists. Education is not so hot, but you can earn a piece of bread. Since Peskov was a sociable person, he was invited to work as a pioneer leader in school. It was here that he first picked up the camera. And immediately began to comprehend the wisdom of the process. Capturing interesting shots was not difficult. The most difficult thing was after the shoot. The film must be developed and fixed. And then print the pictures. This required chemicals that cost money.
Subsequently, the famous photojournalist quickly, although not immediately, mastered the full technological cycle of printing images. We can say that after this, real creativity began. Vasily never parted with a camera. He brought some pictures to the editorial office of the regional youth newspaper Young Communard. And just a day later he was invited to work as a full-time photographer. From that moment on, a young but ambitious person fell into a creative environment. He began to accompany the photographs with explanatory texts. Journalists call them sub-clichés.
Having oriented himself "on the ground, " Vasily began sending his materials - photographs and texts - to Komsomolskaya Pravda. At that time, this newspaper was already popular with readers of different ages. The work of the provincial journalist was appreciated and invited him to cooperate. In 1956, Peskov became a columnist for Komsomolskaya Pravda. After some time, he begins to independently lead the column "Window into the nature." The young photojournalist gained experience by leaps and bounds. Responsible tasks, which he coped brilliantly, began to entrust to Vasily Mikhailovich.
Dew steps
Colleagues and people who knew Vasily Peskov celebrate his unique hard work. He could not sleep at night in order to timely bring to the editorial office the material that was expected of him. Today it became clear that he really liked all the worries and troubles. The journalist did not think about a career as such. From a certain moment, an employee of Peskov was transferred to a free visit regime. His presence was mandatory only on weekly meetings. Returning from a business trip, Vasily Mikhailovich brought a huge amount of material. Colleagues joked that now you can not leave the desk for six months.
No one was surprised when Peskov was invited to television to broadcast "In the world of animals." Visiting various corners of our planet, the journalist painfully noticed how civilization “crowded nature”. On Earth, animals and plants disappear. And this process is gaining momentum. Less and less sources of clean water remain. Forests are ruthlessly cut down. And people look at these outrages not wanting to intervene. Vasily Mikhailovich was able to conduct a conversation in such a way that he brought the urgency of a particular problem to a wide range of people without screaming and extremism. To formulate the question in such a way that competent specialists pay attention to it.
Through his daily work, the journalist made a significant contribution to the development of the environmental movement. A decade and a half, Peskov regularly appeared on the TV screen to share with the audience his notes, joys and sorrows. The audience gathered at the blue screen to chat with an interesting and beloved person. And the journalist never deceived these expectations. It is interesting to note that Vasily Mikhailovich did not have a television in the apartment. Just a man did not have enough time to implement their affairs and projects. When is it to cool in front of the TV?
