Keeping up with the news is a dream for someone. Because of ignorance, mistakes are made, deals that are not needed are concluded. To fall into a stupid position without owning information is a simple matter.
For a journalist, this is a professional duty: to know what is happening, as quickly as possible to tell others about important events. When nothing happens, quietly and calmly around, you have to find the important in the non-essential, change public opinion. One of these people will be discussed today.
Lomakin Sergey Leonidovich is a journalist who is known not only in Russia, but also abroad. For many years he worked with Vladislav Listyev, Alexander Lyubimov and Yevgeny Dodolev on the program “View”. This TV show was quite popular, it was for the work on it that Sergei and his colleagues were nicknamed the “Beatles of Perestroika”.
Correspondent, not Researcher
Sergey Leonidovich Lomakin was born in 1952 in Moscow. His father, Leonid Dmitrievich Lomakin, is a military journalist, writer, author of books that are not classic, but well-known throughout the world, and are beloved by many today. In the footsteps of his father, obviously, his son also decided to go, but it so happened that he had to change his profession. Not immediately, he ventured to declare his intention. Parents prophesied a different fate for him.
In 1974, he graduated from the Economics Department of Moscow State University (the first name is the Department of National Economy Planning), and then graduate school. However, during his long life, he did not begin to work in his specialty. Today she is a journalist, director, TV presenter, writer, head of the Public TV division, producer.
In childhood, many compose poems. Someone is interested in sports or chess. When Sergey Lomakin became interested in journalism, no one knows. His first book, perhaps the only one, was published in 1997. They say that Raisa Maksimovna Gorbacheva once called him the most handsome man on television. Today he is interested in car racing. At least that's what they say about him.
Facts about the biography of Sergei Lomakin reflect an internal conflict that has long been resolved. The knowledge and skills of the economist repeatedly helped him in his work, planning his family and personal budget. The graduate student did not become a professor, a doctor of economic sciences. A creative specialty for the USSR, a little strange from the point of view of the international economy, did not fit into his plans.
Carier start
In 1975, he was hired by the News News Agency. He was instructed to deal with information relating to foreign countries: Africa and the Middle East. He worked only two years in it. In 1977 he left on the advice of a neighbor Andrei Menshikov on television, to the editorial board of projects for young people. Soon he was entrusted with the position of director, editor in the show quiz “Come on girls!”.
The most successful television project in history
In 1987, Sergey Lomakin took up another project, in which he was invited by a colleague, Eduard Sagalaev, who is involved in the “View” program. Here he began to work as a special correspondent. In 1990, he left the program. The prospect of taking a niche on the new BND channel, which was created by his colleagues, did not appeal. It seemed too risky, dubious. He decided to bet on work in the Main Edition of the Channel One news programs. Here he was offered the position of commentator and presenter in the program "Time".
