Do you like animals? Maybe fishing too? Do you know much about all this? If you answer positively to all three questions, then anyway, there is a person who knows more about our smaller brothers and about fishing than you can imagine. And this is not Nikolai Nikolaevich Drozdov, although, of course, he is a mastodon in this matter. But it will still be about his colleague in the shop and once a student-ward - Zatevakhin Ivan Igorevich.
Science and creativity
Ivan Igorevich Zatevakhin - a native of Moscow, was born on September 7, 1958. The future TV presenter was born in a family of doctors. Ivan's parents have a lot of regalia behind them. His father is a doctor of medical sciences, a professor and, in the end, an academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences - one could talk about this person separately. Ivan Zatevakhin's mother is an anesthetist by profession, an employee of the Scientific Center for Cardiovascular Surgery.
Ivan Zatevakhin himself received an excellent education - he is a graduate of the Faculty of Geography of Moscow State University. After graduating from the university for 16 years (from 1981 to 1997) was an employee of the Institute of Oceanology (Moscow). Over the years of work at the institute, Ivan managed to visit different kinds of expeditions and voyages on the water. He was in the waters of five oceans and a dozen different seas of the globe.
Hydrobiology and ecology are the two most interesting, but the most difficult specialties that Ivan mastered as a graduate student. In 1988, he was awarded the degree of candidate of biological sciences.
From the age of 34, Ivan has been working on television - first as an assistant consultant, then as a co-author and co-host of the program "Home Ark". But this transfer far from brought him popularity. A television career has just begun to gain momentum.
Screen man
Ivan Zatevakhin became famous thanks, in part, to such a man as Alexander Gurevich (yes, that same permanent presenter of the program "One Hundred to One"). The fact is that it was Gurevich who suggested Zatevakhin make small programs about the animal kingdom, the cycle of which later, as we know, was called "Dialogues about Animals". Thus, since 1994, enthusiast Ivan Zatevakhin for many years to come became the author and host of this remarkable project. The program went on the air for 23 years, until 2017, thanks to Ivan’s dedication and high ratings.
After the successful start of the “Dialogues on animals”, work did not stop there - Ivan Igorevich became the author and host of another project that gained fame - “Dialogues on Fishing”.
Today, Ivan Zatevakhin is broadcasting Live Stories on one of the country's main television channels, Russia-1, which shows videos featuring animals.
In parallel with the work in the frame, Ivan manages to work on the radio (in the program, the subject of which is also related to animals) and in the print media.
Since 2010, he is, by the way, the chief editor of the magazine "Friend". This magazine is the oldest cynological publication in our country for all dog lovers. And after 6 years, Zatevakhin released a book entitled "Dogs and Us. Trainer's Notes."
It will not be superfluous to add that Ivan is the owner of a black belt in karate and a candidate for master of sports in such a sport as water polo.
