"Labor biography" by Igor Ruzheynikov
The future host of radio "Mayak" was born in Moscow, and therefore admission to Moscow State University and a future brilliant career were, as it were, provided for him. But to his glory, albeit not as wide as that of many colleagues, Igor Ruzheinikov walked for a long time. Perhaps the reason for this is a naturally phlegmatic temperament or a grumpy character.
One way or another, in the late 80s, in the era of the peak of perestroika and great political upheavals, Igor Ruzheinikov got a job at one of the prestigiousMoscow radio stations - "Radio 101". From there, his career began.
Work on radio "Mayak"
In 1992, during the triumph of economic reforms and Russian democracy, our hero moved to the Mayak radio station. With him he linked his future career. It was here that the talent of Igor Ruzheynikov as a presenter crystallized. He invited numerous guests (from Gorbachev to Thomas Anders), often argued with them, gained some scandalous fame and fell in love with millions of listeners for his somewhat grumpy temper and outrageous manner of interviewing.
However, many people disliked him, accusing him of snobbery and even a low level of erudition. One way or another, our hero certainly left his mark on the history of this radio.
Lecturer and publicist
In addition, Ruzheinikov is also known as a lecturer, from time to time teaching at various universities - from the pillars of domestic education like Moscow State University to private universities. He is the author of the book The Radio Activator, billed as a primer for those who want to work in radio but should not, under any circumstances. Ruzheinikov at various times was a columnist for a number of online publications.
