But such people still exist. And one of them is presidential adviser Vladimir Tolstoy.
The beginning of the life of Vladimir Tolstoy

He even managed to get the position of senior literary editor of the department in which he worked. This activity satisfied him, and he received money, albeit small, for what he liked.
In 1988, Vladimir Tolstoy became a member of the so-called Union of Journalists of the USSR, and after some time - the Union of Writers of Russia.
As a result, Vladimir left the editors of the Student Meridian magazine and took the place of the best expert in the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation.
In 1992, Tolstoy wrote a lot of material related to illegal construction and deforestation at Yasnaya Polyana. This material interested many people, and therefore was published in various magazines and newspapers, the most prominentof which is Komsomolskaya Pravda.
