TV journalist Boris Sobolev: biography, personal life, films and TV shows

Boris Sobolev is a scandalous Russian journalist, TV journalist and TV presenter.

general information

The name of Boris Sobolev became synonymous with the phrase "sharp plot". His desire to draw the truth even from there, where, it would seem, is unrealistic to do this, is highly appreciated by some, others are unremarkable, the third is hateful. This person is not afraid to express his opinion, and, taking advantage of the opportunity, he does it in front of thousands of people. Boris Sobolev is not only a reporter, but also a screenwriter and, to some extent, a director.

Childhood and early years

Boris Sobolev was born in the Russian capital - Moscow - on January 1, 1974. As a native Muscovite, of course, Sobolev knew the best educational institutions in their widest range. But the future journalist already had a clear goal: to enter Moscow State University and exactly where he wanted to go.

From the very childhood Boris dreamed of writing about what makes people alive, about what can show them the real side of the world. But only the world has many sides: both bad and good. Firm in his intentions, after graduating from Moscow school, he enters the Moscow State University at the Faculty of Philosophy. Having studied for three years at this faculty, Boris finally gets the opportunity to develop further, and precisely in the direction that he wanted. Since 1994, Boris Igorevich Sobolev began to work as a journalist on television.

The first step to a dream

In 1994, after three courses at the Moscow State University, the student was offered a job as a journalist for the television company Authorskaya TV. This was the very first experience of a young reporter, and I must say, quite positive. Having gained the courage, having trained a little in communication with other people, and also having learned to behave freely before the camera lens, Sobolev gets a new job. Now Boris Sobolev is a journalist who daily prepares various interesting, in his opinion, plots for the "Press Club" TV company. There, from an ordinary worker, he gradually ascends the career ladder and becomes now the chief reporter and correspondent in the Vremechko program, which he was shown on the NTV channel, but with the appearance of new personnel decided to use a different channel - as a result, the program was broadcast on the " TV center ", not too popular channel.

Further collaboration

After the program "Vremechko" Sobolev was invited for a long cooperation on the channel "NTV", where he later will lead a lot of programs. From 1998 to 2001, the special correspondent is really justified on the air of this channel: he becomes a reporter in such TV programs as "Itogi", "Vremenko", "Today", as well as his famous work "Profession - reporter".

In 2012, Boris is transferred to another channel, directly addressed to the events in the country - "Russia-1." There he becomes a regular correspondent of the "Vesti" program. Soon, his active work on this channel played an important role in the further development of his career. Now Sobolev is admitted to many information programs of the channel, and then gives him a feeling of being the presenter of the "Inspector" program. Such successful projects and reports brought the man the opportunity to participate in the prestigious TEFI television award in 2006. Boris Sobolev (VGTRK made him a nominee to win the prize) has now become a respected reporter.

Beginning in 2008 and up to 2011, Boris Sobolev became the main leader of the "Special Correspondent" program on the "Russia-1" channel. His truthful and in some places hard reports made a real sensation on the screens of state television. It is for this program that many people now know who Boris Sobolev is, a journalist who always finds hot material. The subject of his reports was always burning and urgent: he exposed the dens of drug addicts, alcohol mafia, showed the whole back side of the corrupted universities of the country, without fearing the serious ties of people working there.

Scandalous reports

One of the most scandalous reports in the field of Russian education can rightfully be considered a message about corruption within the walls of the well-known RIGIM named Pirogov. In 2012, on the screens of all the country TVs in the program "Vesti" was shown a small video, filmed on a hidden camera in this school. The shooting took place during the defense of one student's diploma, and this defense took place in rather strange conditions: instead of directly presenting his work, the student through an intermediary started talking about buying his diploma with one of the most important professors in the university, Nikolai Kostyukov, who at the time of the shooting was not Just respected throughout the country, but also had behind him a 40-year experience in the walls of the university. The report at that time exploded into a real scandal: on the one hand, there were threats coming from the university, on the other - outraged and angry responses of the parents of students, and all Russian schoolchildren planning to enter after secondary education.

Even more exacerbated by the situation was the exposure of the same university in history with enrollment of students, which is now called "The scam with dead souls." Ironically, the university accurately repeated the machinations of the famous hero N. Gogol Chichikov: the university's documentation presented a large number of fake certificates of admission to university faculties, and almost 90% of people probably did not hear about this educational institution. Thus, the university tried to open the way for "its" people, while closing it in front of honest students.

Interview with Inna Zhirkova

Another explosive work of Boris Sobolev is devoted to the bought victory of the wife of the famous football player Yuri Zhirkov in the contest "Missis Russia 2012". The exposure was made without resorting to hidden cameras or other maneuvers: everything that was filmed was a charming girl, answering questions, and the correspondent himself, Sobolev, who was asking her about the contest and asking basic questions.

Within the framework of the Mississaia 2012 beauty contest, participants were invited to express themselves in a variety of fields, from raising children to creative abilities. Inna Zhirkova in that interview had to answer the simplest questions from just these areas: name the children's writer, bring well-known facts from the geography, name the authors of musical works, whose names were already laid in the title ... However, none of the issues the girl could not cope with , Thus showing that she won this contest is not for talents, but for the thick purse of her husband.

In a word, Sobolev's report made a real sensation, and not in the most visible light showed "incorruptible" celebrities of the country who sat in the jury.

Test yourself in the role of director

In 2012, Boris Sobolev began to appear less and less often in news programs, but literally a year later his work as a documentary director appeared on the screens. Boris Sobolev's film "Crowned individuals" tells just about such "deserved" victories of Russian beauties, for which in fact they cost very big money. The plot of this documentary includes fragments of negotiations with real people - the organizers of competitions, participants and the jury.

If we talk about Sobolev as a director, we can not fail to consider his book, and then the film shot on it, under the title "Sturm will be expensive." In the work the author narrates about the Caucasian war of 1817-1864. This war has become the longest in the territory of Russia, and its entire history is entwined with inconsistencies, unknown facts and intrigues ...

Current activities

At the moment, Boris Sobolev remains one of the most respected correspondents, who, not being afraid of anyone's money and connections, continues to pull out the unpleasant events and situations happening in our country. Boris Sobolev, whose personal life is his reportage, highly appreciated by ordinary people, speaks openly about such things that others are generally afraid to mention.

To this day, he is engaged in filming of sharp documentary subjects, and how to know: perhaps this year his next scandalous sensation will come out, telling about what everyone usually keeps silent about.
