A few words about the media tycoon
The emblem "1 + 1" is well known, probably throughout Ukraine. But not every Ukrainian knows about who founded this popular television channel today. But in fact, the story of the creation of a beloved media company is very interesting. The real founder of the current Ukrainian television is rightfully considered Boris Fuchsman. Today, this businessman is one of the most famous media moguls in the whole country.
Maybe the founder of the channel "1 + 1" does not appear on TV screens as often as other public figures, but this does not reduce the weight of his contribution to the media field. But where did his creative biography begin, and what is Boris Fuchsman known for yet?

In general, the biography of the founder Boris Fuchsman is directly related to significant events on Ukrainian television, the film industry and film distribution.
Adolescence
The Jewish family of the antiquarian in Kiev in Soviet times - this is where the biography of Boris Fuchsman began. The date of birth of the future millionaire is February 12, 1947, and nationality is Jewish. The boy became interested in the media world in childhood, which subsequently influenced his decision to devote his life to this particular activity. And indeed, the television world pretty quickly came into the life of Boris. After graduating from school, in 1966, the guy gave his preference to the Kiev Trade and Economic Institute. And after him, Boris went to the Kiev studio of documentaries, where he got a job as an assistant operator. Just a few months later, Fuchsman began to assist the director.
Then the family of the future tycoon changed his place of residence, moving to Germany, where Boris lives to this day. Actually, here the biography of Boris Fuchsman began as a media magnate. Although, despite this, the businessman spends most of his time in Ukraine, because on the territory of this state, his most ambitious and serious projects are developing that need the attention of their owner.
