September 14 to a famous TV presenter, television announcer, People's Artist of the USSR Igor Kirillov turns 85 years old. Many associate his name primarily with the Vremya program, of which he has been the host for 30 years. Despite the strict rules that existed on Soviet television, Kirillov found graceful ways to evade these rules.
Igor Kirillov began his career in television in 1957, after graduating from the acting department of the Higher Theater School. Shchepkin and worked for 2 years at the Theater of Drama and Comedy on Taganka. At the Shabolov television center, he started small - at first he worked as an assistant director of the musical edition, then became a production director, and after winning the announcer competition, he appeared on television screens.
The profession of an announcer was not his dream - in fact, he was going to become a director, but over time, his work fascinated him so much that he no longer imagined his existence without her. "", - the legendary announcer and TV presenter admits.
In addition to the program "Time", of which he was the announcer until 1989, Igor Kirillov hosted "Blue Lights", "Song of the Year" and "Kinopanorama". 1969 to 1989 he headed the announcer department of Central Television, but even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, he found a place on the new television: for some time Igor Kirillov was the host of the popular Vzglyad program. Until now, he remains in demand on television - the announcer met his last 84th birthday in the studio of the program "Tonight" with Andrei Malakhov.
Despite the strict rules that existed on Soviet television, Igor Kirillov calls stories about tough censorship and the dismissal of announcers due to reservations as fiction. The TV presenters themselves understood what responsibility was entrusted to them and took their profession more than seriously: "".
Igor Kirillov was often called the "Kremlin announcer", which weighed heavily on him. Once he even asked the head of the State TV and Radio S. Lapin to relieve him of this post, to which he replied: "". Since then, the speaker began to master the non-verbal means of expressing his own attitude to the sounding text. He later admitted: "".
Of course, in those days there could be no talk of jokes or any other manifestations of frivolous behavior of announcers on the air. The attitude towards the correctness of speech and its articulation was just as serious: it was necessary to pronounce no more than 12-14 lines per minute. The legendary announcer has retained a reverent attitude to the language to this day: not only profanity from TV screens cuts his ears, but also careless speech - in his opinion, many modern presenters chatter, make a large number of mistakes, swallow words and behave cheeky. Nevertheless, some presenters make him sympathetic - Kirillov approves of Ivan Urgant and the program "Projectorperishilton", although he believes that there is too much of this presenter on the screens.
Igor Kirillov was the face of the Vremya program and one of the most popular TV presenters. Nevertheless, star fever bypassed him. This was facilitated by a high level of culture, professionalism and responsibility. "", - he thinks.
