Vladislav (Vlad) Nikolayevich Listyev (Russian: Ð'Ð»Ð°Ð´Ð¸Ñ Ð»Ð°Ì Ð²
Ð Ð¸ÐºÐ¾Ð»Ð°Ì ÐµÐ²Ð¸Ñ‡ Ð›Ð¸Ñ Ñ‚ÑŒÐµÐ²; May 10, 1956 â€" March 1, 1995)
was a Russian journalist and head of the ORT TV Channel (now
government-owned Channel One).Vlad Listyev was arguably the most
popular journalist and TV anchor in Russia (he remains well remembered
years after his death), and was a key force in bringing the voice of
democracy to Russian television. Listyev first appeared on television
as one of the hosts of a highly progressive and successful show
Vzglyad (Glance or Outlook) in the late 1980s, a satirical program
watched weekly by as many as 100 million people. The other anchors
were Alexander Lyubimov, Alexander Politkovsky, Dmitry Zakharov [ru],
Artyom Borovik and Evgeny Dodolev.He was also the first host of the
Russian version of Wheel of Fortune, which became very popular.
Following the success of Vzglyad, Listyev and his colleagues founded a
TV company VID (Vzglyad i Drugiyeâ€"The View and the Others) that
would produce programming for the First Channel of Central Television,
the main TV channel in the Soviet Union (later called Ostankino and
ORT). With VID, Listyev started a number of new TV projects â€"Pole
Chudes ("A Field of Wonders", the Russian version of Wheel of
Fortune), Ugadai melodiu ("Guess the melody", the Russian version of
Name That Tune), Tema ("The Theme"), and Chas Pik ("The Rush Hour").
In 1995, Listyev moved from VID to ORT, where he was appointed
director of the channel. One of Listyev's very first moves as director
was to order a temporary stop to all advertising, in effect excluding
all unauthorized middlemen out of the lucrative advertising business,
and consolidating future ad sales in the hands of the channel.
