November 21 was World Television Day, and November 26 marks the 80th anniversary of one of the most famous Soviet TV presenters, the legendary announcer of Central Television Anna Shatilova. The proximity of these dates does not seem accidental: her name is associated with an entire era in the history of television, she was called the face of Soviet TV. She still appears on screens and amazes with her magnificent appearance, high professionalism and self-esteem. In her 80s, Anna Shatilova regrets only one thing …
The childhood of Anna Solomatina (this is her maiden name) was terrible. She was born in 1938 in the village of Shikhovo near Moscow. In 1941 my father went to the front and went missing. Only today did Anna learn that he died in one of the German concentration camps in 1943. Of course, as a child, she did not even dream of becoming an announcer, but she loved to perform on stage in school productions. After leaving school, Solomatina entered the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of the Pedagogical Institute, but once in the corridor of the university she saw an announcement about a competition for announcers on the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. Despite the tough competition, Anna turned out to be one of the 5 lucky ones who were chosen out of 500 applicants.
Anna Shatilova came to television in 1962, and since then she has appeared on screens almost daily. Many wondered how a woman could handle such a work schedule. The TV presenter told: "". Many of her colleagues left the profession, unable to withstand such a rhythm and constant stress.
Despite such incredible employment, Anna Shatilova always tried to find time for loved ones and said: "". For a long time, she appeared on the screens in tandem with the announcer Igor Kirillov, which gave rise to rumors about their romance behind the scenes, but in fact the TV presenter lived her whole life with one person - her husband Alexei Shatilov, and only professional relations connected her with Kirillov. And after her husband passed away in 2008, she devoted all her strength to caring for her son's family.
Anna Shatilova was called the face of Soviet television - she hosted the program "Time", "Blue Light", reports from festive processions and demonstrations. She was also called the voice of the military parade - for more than 40 years Shatilova led festive parades on Red Square on May 9.
In her years, she does not plan to slow down and retire. When she was 78, journalists asked her to tell how she spent World Television Day. And the answer amazed them: "".
Anna Shatilova still closely follows everything that happens on modern television, and many trends shock her. For example, she admits that she almost stopped watching the news - too many sad events are happening. The TV presenter likes to watch the "Fashionable Sentence" and "Evening Urgant" programs, documentaries and political shows.
The only thing she really regrets now is that no one is seriously involved in the preparation of presenters, which is why the general level of culture on television suffers: "". Shatilova is shocked that the presenters allow themselves to make many mistakes in speech and do not use orthoepic dictionaries.
For many years Anna Shatilova worked in a creative union with another Legendary announcer Igor Kirillov: How "the voice of the era" bypassed the harsh rules of Soviet television.
