Alexander Bovin Biography

The ON ON AND 90 years ago, on August 9, Alexander Bovin was born, the largest man of Soviet television. A man without a tie on Soviet television loved programs on an international topic. There were disproportionately a lot given that the list of CT programs was actually very short. The most boring, perhaps, was the “9th studio” Valentin Zorin - several men were sitting at the table and discussing the discharge of international tension for an hour and a half.

The most dynamic - “today in the world”, daily! The most exciting and at the same time the most propaganda - “the camera looks into the world” of Henry Borovik: there could show punks, prostitutes, and even emigrants. Well, the most intelligent and solid, of course, was the "international panorama." The release of the "International Panorama" of the year. Presenter Alexander Bovin Photo: YouTube.

According to legend, the talent of the Great Dictor, according to legend, discovered a less standard person in the “box”, perhaps there was no. Firstly, the mustache according to the secret rule, the Soviet TV presenter had to be shaved smoothly. Secondly, a tie-that is, its absence: Bovin was the only host who did not wear this wardrobe item and never fastened his jacket. Formally - because of its legendary, from youth, dim.

In fact - then what was possible for him. Well, thirdly, the manner of speech. Unlike their colleagues, who read the official texts from the sheet with the view of the prosecutor at the hearing, Bovin said. In general, he behaved rather as a university teacher, and not as an agitator and propagandist. Although, of course, he did not allow himself to and could not even imagine this, but the quality of his texts-he wrote them independently-and the style of their presentation distinguished Bovin among international journalists for two heads.

The former judge is the funny thing that Bovin began just in court. And not a prosecutor or lawyer, but right away by a judge. He came there, and they say to me: "We take only with higher education." Then I went to Herzen Street, where the Moscow State University’s Yurfak was placed. I went through an interview, I had a gold medal, but did not hit, the hostels did not give. I went to Rostov-on-Don, where my parents lived by that time.

There, in M, he graduated from the legal faculty of the RSU and was elected People's Judge of the Neftegorsky District of the Krasnodar Territory. The youngest judge was in the Soviet Union: I barely hit me 23 years. ” He was pulled at the desk, in science. The graduate school of the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University was an excellent place to start such activities, but the times outside the window have come such that the best in any field took the power to itself.

In the corridors of the Central Committee, such as Bovin - smart, young, modern, in a word, “sixties” - there were many. Of course, they did not make decisions, but the role of advisers can never be overestimated. The consultant to the Central Committee for working with the Communist Parties of the socialist Stroke Boin worked ten years, of which the last few of them were the main thing.

Up to a year, Bovin’s chief was Yuri Andropov. Boin spoke with respect about the future Secretary General, but without his subsequent years, hesitated. A supporter of a harsh order. Realizing that the changes are inevitable, but under the control of the party, ”Bovin later said. At the house in Granati Lane, where the legendary editor lived, a memorial plaque was installed in the late sixties Bovin became the speaker of Leonid Brezhnev.

The posts, of course, did not exist in any staffing-formally he was still the head of the group of consultants of the Central Committee department. But Bovin’s influence on the Soviet foreign policy of that time cannot be overestimated. It is enough to say that he accompanied Brezhnev during the negotiations of the latter with the leader of Czechoslovakia Dubchek in the year.

Hussar flying in the year in Bovin’s life a steep turn occurred. Boin himself preferred to talk about the details mysteriously: either in some company he scolded Brezhnev, or wrote a sharp personal letter in which he called members of the Politburo idiots. Both versions are believable: an employee of the CPSU Central Committee, Alexander Bovin, led a lifestyle, which his direct chief Andropov tactfully called "hussarism" and for which he was in a non -tactlessly promp.

One way or another, on one fine April day of the year, Bovin received a special office package with a decree of the Central Committee’s Secretariat: from duties to release, appoint the Izvestia newspaper with a political observer. And from the point of view of influence, as it turned out quickly, Bovin lost almost nothing. Firstly, very soon Brezhnev returned his speaker to the truth, now on a freelance basis.

And secondly, television appeared in Bovin’s life, “International Panorama”. And fame, publicity is a powerful tool in the corridors of power. The announcer Igor Kirillov is about the lessons of coronavirus, the most happy day and the great Russian about the new TV presenter immediately spread a variety of rumors. And that this is a former intelligence officer, the Hero of the Soviet Union, who worked for a long time abroad.

And that the author of the "Malaya Earth" and "virgins". And that someone's son-in-law. Reality, of course, as always was cooler than any fiction.Of course, he did not wear the stars of the hero Bovin, but he had the Order of Lenin and the state prize. At the same time, Bovin still lived-openly and somehow completely in advance. I did not suffer from the modesty: once, a very long time, I told Andropov that it would not rise above the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, but this is not bad.

Getting tired of the propaganda work, he began, not embarrassed, to ask for “ambassadors”. Moreover, to New Zealand, because there is "nothing to do." True, not in quiet Wellington, but in the boiling Tel Aviv. Having took office as an ambassador is still superpowers, he worked at a much more difficult post by a representative of “Young Democracy” with a nuclear arsenal.

The Israeli elite Bovin liked it - thanks to the same non -standard, unlike an ordinary diplomat. From the public service he left almost 70 - but not in retirement, but to his native Izvestia. Nevertheless, with all the variety of his own biography, he is a lawyer, an official, a political adviser, a diplomat - first of all, he always remained a journalist.
