Maiter of domestic television
Vladimir Molchanov, although he belongs to the Soviet TV journalists, today he isstill remains in demand. In 1987, in January, he came to work at the editorial office of the television program "Vremya", in March of the same year, his informational and musical program "Before and after midnight" went on the air. It was she who became one of the most popular in the era of "perestroika". Thanks to this program, Vladimir Molchanov received an award from 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 at the same time: “Before and after midnight”, “Time”, “90 minutes”. In 1991, on his own initiative, he left the USSR State 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 program “Before and After”, 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, has become the chief editor of her husband's films and programs in recent years.
Dangerous profession
At the end of 1987, a new journalist, Vladislav Nikolaevich Listyev, appeared on television. His career began with the host of the Vzglyad program, in the creation of which the Youth Edition of the Central Television took part.
At that time, this project was considered something unique. The program aired everyFriday, gathering millions of people at the TV screens, because they finally had the opportunity to get answers to important and topical questions that excited the entire Soviet society at that time. The Vzglyad program said that it was not customary to speak. This is what became the fundamental difference from other journalists of the USSR. Whatever topics were discussed here: problems of politics, religion, attitudes towards capitalist countries, as well as the topic of modern music and even sex.
For this reason, in the late 80s, the program acquired a cult status. Such success prompted Vlad Listyev and some of his associates to found the VID television company, which created programs for Channel One, later renamed ORT. Since 1990, the independent activity of the company begins, in 1993 Vlad Listyev became its president. However, such success led to a behind-the-scenes struggle, and eventually to the resignation of the leader.
Vlad Listyev's desire to make the world a better place was the cause of his death. Every year he gained more and more detractors.
On March 1, 1995, journalist Vladislav Nikolaevich Listyev was shot dead. It happened in the entrance of his own house. Neither customers nor performers have been found so far. It turns out that well-known Russian journalists constantly expose themselves, and possibly the whole family, to a huge risk.
