Yevgeny Kiselyov Biography

Yevgeny Kiselyov is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on June 15, 1956 in Moscow, Russia. Yevgeny Alexeyevich Kiselyov, Russian: Evgenii Aleksiiovich Kiseliov ; Ukrainian: Ievgen Oleksiiovich Kisel’ov – born June 15, 1956) was a Russian television journalist. He was the host of NTV’s weekly news program Itogi from the 1990s. He is known for his criticisms of President Boris Yeltsin and government corruption. After NTV’s takeover by Gazprom in 2001, he quit the network and briefly served as the general manager of TV-6 until the government decided not to renew the broadcasting license. Later, he moved to Ukraine where he was a host of several political talk shows.

Kiselyov, NTV’s managing Director, was active in protests against the Russian court’s transfer of control to Gazprom. He described the move as a Russian government attempt to suppress dissent. Gazprom removed him and other directors from their board in April 2001. NTV journalists condemned the cull and stated that Gazprom’s “ultimate goal” was to impose complete political control on them. He moved with several NTV journalists to TV-6, the rival station.

With the arrival of the NTV team, TV-6’s ratings more than doubled. Kiselyov continued to report on sensitive topics including corruption and the conflict in Chechnya. He also became the station’s general manager. In January 2002, however, the station’s broadcasting license expired and was given by the government to another company, forcing them off the air. Kiselyov called it a “television coup” showing that the authorities’ “single goal” was to “gag” the station. The government disputed his statement, saying that the non-renewal of TV-6’s license was “purely a business decision”.

The viewership of Big-Time Politics dropped from 1 million in 2007 to 500,000 people in 2011, reflecting a general decline in interest in political talk shows. In January 2013 Inter replaced it by a political talk show hosted by Anna Bezulyk. Kiselyov from then on is in charge of the news production at Inter. In the summer of 2016 Kiselyov left Inter. He then moved to Pryamiy kanal to present the program “Results”. Kiselyov left Pryamiy kanal in the summer of 2019 and became the presenter of “Real Politics with Yevgeny Kiselyov” early 2020 on the channel Ukraine 24.

Itogi broadcast a 1999 episode in which Kiselyov criticized the administration of Boris Yeltsin. He called them “the family”, a “code phrase for Yeltsin’s inner circle.” He criticised them for selecting the latest Cabinet and compared Yeltsin’s rule to the Roman emperor Caligula.

In the 1990s, Russia’s “pioneering” television journalist Kiselyov was named by the New York Times as the “Russian most prominent television journalist”.

Kiselyov was awarded the 1995 International Press Freedom Award by the US- based Committee to Protect Journalists. This award recognizes journalists who have shown courage in protecting press freedom despite being threatened, attacked, or imprisoned.

In March 2002, Kiselyov teamed with the Media-Socium Group, a group of pro- Putin businesspeople that included former prime minister Yevgeny Primakov, and was re-awarded the broadcasting license to the station. A BBC News analyst stated that the new political ownership was “likely to ensure the journalists do not ruffle too many feathers above”. The new station, TVS, soon ran into financial difficulties and quarrels between shareholders, and was closed by the government in June 2003 on the grounds of “viewers’ interests”. Though viewed as less critical than its predecessor, it had been the last television station to criticize the Putin government. With the station’s end, Nezavisimaya Gazeta called Russia “the one-channel country”, stating that private television had once again disappeared, and Ekho Moskvy criticized the “complete state monopoly of country-wide channels”. Kiselyov stated that his priority following the closure was to find new jobs for the news staff, some of whom had now followed him through three television stations.
