All information presented must be objective, because it affects the formation of public opinion. Let's see who deserves the honor of getting into the rating “The Most Famous Journalists of Russia”.
Master of domestic television
Vladimir Molchanov, although one of the Soviet television journalists, is still in demand today. In 1987, in January, he came to work in the editorial office of the television program Vremya, and in March of the same year, his informational and musical program Before and After Midnight was broadcast. It was she who became one of the most popular in the era of "perestroika". Thanks to this program, Vladimir Molchanov received the prize of the Union of Journalists of the Soviet Union. For 4 years he continued to work on television, even became a political observer. Molchanov was the host of several programs simultaneously: Before and After Midnight, Time, 90 Minutes. In 1991, on his own initiative, he left the USSR Radio and Television and decided to become an independent journalist. Until 2000, Molchanov worked in one of the private companies of the REN-TV channel, he managed to revive the weekly Before and After program, in addition he worked on the creation of the program “I Remember … I Love …”, which was dedicated to the memory of famous composers of the Soviet era.

In December 2003, Molchanov became the host of the daily talk show "Private Life". Molchanov’s wife, Consuelo Segura, in recent years has become the chief editor of her husband’s films and programs.
Dangerous profession
At the end of 1987, a new journalist Listyev Vladislav Nikolaevich appeared on television. His career began with the host of the program “Vzglyad”, in the creation of which the Youth Edition of Central Television took part.
At that time, this project was considered something unique. The program was aired every Friday, gathering millions of people on TV screens, because they finally had the opportunity to get answers to important and topical questions that excited all of Soviet society at that time. The program “Sight” said that it was not accepted to speak. This is what became the fundamental difference from other journalists of the USSR. What topics have not been discussed here: problems of politics, religion, attitude to capitalist countries, as well as the theme of modern music and even sex.
For this reason, in the late 80s, the program acquired cult status. Such success prompted Vlad Listyev and some of his associates to found the VID television company, which was involved in the creation of programs for Channel One, later renamed ORT. Since 1990, the independent activity of the company begins, in 1993 Vlad Listyev became its president. However, this success led to a backstage fight, and eventually to the resignation of the leader.
