Director, video blogger, reporter and TV host, publicist and journalist, TV presenter and State Duma deputy, participant in military conflicts and hippologist, politician and novice of the monastery. Who is the hero of this list that can go on and on? It's about Alexander Nevzorov - a talented person with indefatigable energy and a thirst for justice.
Alexander Nevzorov was born on August 3, 1958 in Leningrad. In 1975, he graduated from 171 special schools with in-depth study of French. After that he entered the literary institute. At the same time he studied at the theological seminary, but was expelled from the fourth year. Alexander Glebovich worked on Leningrad television and tried himself as a stuntman.
Childhood and family
As for the father, he does not know anything about the journalist at all. Since Nevzorov always spoke directly about this, in the “second era”, when he was broadcasting the well-known program “600 Seconds” in the country, a whole line was formed from the popes. In general, there were enough applicants for this role, but he did not choose anyone. Alexander Glebovich Nevzorov joked on this subject many times. The biography, the parents of which are artists and actors, is available in several sources. But in his interview, he confirmed that he did not have a father, and his mother was also a journalist.
Often she just had no time to educate him. But he had a wonderful grandfather - the MGB General. He lived on the other side of the city, so the boy was left to his own devices. According to Nevzorov, he felt the happiness of absolute orphanhood on himself. But his grandfather, despite his busyness, financed all his outrages, recalls Alexander Glebovich.
His childhood biography is full of "hooligan acts." For example, it cost him nothing to catch the bats and release them on the tram. How fun it was to watch what happened then. Grandfather patiently rescued him from the police and covered endless hooliganism. But with all this, he never read notations to him, did not force him to do anything. And compared with classmates, whom parents tormented with instructions and ideas about life, Alexander was free. In a word, he lived just fine, and his Petersburg yards brought up and raised him.
Twists of fate
A favorite place in Sasha’s childhood was the Smolensk cemetery. In the old crypts you could find a lot of interesting things. One night he walked and wandered into a crypt, and there are three friends sitting there and drinking vodka. At first the guy mistook them for alcoholics, but they turned out to be quite respectable citizens from the church choir. During the conversation, it turned out that Alexander had a great voice and hearing. So he began to work as a singer in the church choir, for which he paid good money. It was not only a choir, but also an icon painting training, an obedience to the monastery. This was the only opportunity to escape from Soviet reality, a gloomy and impenetrable reality, recalls Alexander Nevzorov.
The biography, the personal life of the journalist show that fate was favorable to him and prompted meetings with interesting people. Nevzorov worked as a secretary for the literary critic T. Yu. Khmelnitsky. She entrusted him with simple things - to pick up some literature and quotes, to make extracts from books that she needed. And while he was listed in the Writers' Union. Tatyana Yuryevna, says the journalist, the smartest and most wonderful woman who taught him a lot. Military affairs was taught to him by A. I. Lebed and L. Ya. Rokhlin. Fundamentals of the world and anatomy - N.P. Ankylosing spondylitis. Despite the fact that she was sometimes simply shocked by some of his statements, they were friends until her death. She left him her unpublished notes on neurology. In history, he was enlightened by L. N. Gumilev. When he fell into his hands, says Nevzorov, he was an absolute savage, a reporter who had just come to television.
600 seconds
Nevzorov hosted the “600 Seconds” program, popular in the 1990s, and was always at the center of political events. The program covered the hot news and facts of Leningrad. The program made a splash in the literal sense of the word. The audience was looking forward to the next broadcast. Still would! After boring news, real revelations and sensations unfolded in front of them.
Nevzorov, an implacable fighter with organized crime, corruption and bribes, in addition, an excellent journalist, simply conquered the audience. In the eyes of many, he became a hero. Remembering his transfer, Alexander says that he feels some awkwardness for her. Since this is pure adventure. We can say that the program was a frank informational defeat. Biography of Nevzorov Alexander Glebovich clearly shows how much this talented journalist craved hot news and sensations.
Journalistic weekdays
Information in the literal sense of the word was “mined,” and the more criminal this method of extraction was, the more valuable the information. Documents were lured by hook or by crook, stolen, bought. Often, the film crew literally broke into a closed subject or simply rammed the gates on the "rafik". What did not come up with! To remove the plot about the meat factory, introduced themselves as emergency doctors.
Somehow I had to get into the crematorium in a real coffin. As soon as Alexander realized that he was being taken to the stoves, he immediately threw back the coffin lid and appeared before the crematorium staff in all its glory. While they were in shock, he ran and opened the door to his colleagues. In a word, they did not stop at anything.
At that time, Nevzorov was a very famous journalist, whom almost everyone knew by sight. But he doesn’t have a star fever, since in “600 seconds” everyone was on an equal footing, and it would be foolish to demonstrate arrogance among these wonderful people. Many of them still work with him, they have been together for 25 years.
Vilnius events
Indefatigable energy and a thirst for truth brought Nevzorov in Vilnius in January 1991. Soviet troops entered Lithuania, which sought independence. On January 15, a report was published on the events in Vilnius, in which Baltic riot police units loyal to the allied leadership were praised. The film caused a scandal in the Union, and Nevzorov for a long time was ranked among the enemies of the democratic public.
Remembering these events today, Alexander Glebovich sincerely regrets that the Lithuanian people ranked him among his enemies. He does not deny the act, but in that distant 1991, it seemed to him that he was acting as he considered necessary. With sadness, Alexander Nevzorov recalls those times. Biography, nationality, faith, political views - he never judged or divided people according to these criteria. But at that time he believed that it was his duty to contribute to the salvation of the country.
August putsch
A lover of "hot" news, Alexander Nevzorov could not stand aside during the coup in Moscow. He says that he has such a hobby - participation in coups d'etat. The situation was so uncertain, and he quite consciously supported the GKChP, but did not express his point of view in the 600 Seconds program.
Recalling these events now, Nevzorov says that he is happy that he had a chance to see and participate in the tragic collapse of the USSR from the inside. After 25 years, an absolute understanding came that this process was inevitable. And at that time he was in the thick of things, at the White House.
In hot spots
The biography of Alexander Nevzorov, a journalist and publicist, clearly shows that he did not remain indifferent to what was happening around the events. He was always in hot spots and displayed everything in reports - the Karabakh conflict, Chechnya, the war in Yugoslavia and Transnistria. In 1995, his documentary "Hell" about the events in Chechnya was released. In 1997, the painting “Purgatory” was shot, which was shot in a realistic manner, with violent scenes of violence about the fighting in Chechnya.
Nevzorov is invited to lead the program "Days", "Wild Field", "Nevzorov." His active life position did not go unnoticed, and the journalist was appointed as a consultant to the governor of the Leningrad Region. In 1994, Nevzorov became a personal analyst of Berezovsky and an adviser to the government of the Russian Federation, as well as a deputy of four convocations.
Currently, Alexander Glebovich is an adviser to the general director of Channel One. Today, television is not an important part of his life. He writes books, notes, columns in "Snob", conducts a rather expensive school, which adapts people to the correct behavior in front of a television camera. Its founder is Alexander Nevzorov himself.
Biography: personal life, children
In the early 80s, Nevzorov married Natalya Yakovleva, a singing church choir. In the marriage, a daughter Polina was born. The young dad in the girl did not cherish the soul, spoiled her in every way. But when Pauline was 9 years old, her parents divorced. The girl stayed with her grandmother and mother. Now she practically does not communicate with her daughter, she has her own life, which he does not really like. And he has no desire to interfere in it.
With his second wife, Alexandra Yakovleva, they lived in marriage for several years. Both were constantly busy on the set, so they gradually moved away from each other. There were no children in a joint marriage, and the family broke up, says Alexander Nevzorov. The biography of the actress mentions this fact in passing, but her son Kondrat (from another marriage) says that Nevzorov was a good father for him and took care of him.
The third wife, Lydia, is 15 years younger than Alexander Glebovich. Despite the significant difference in age, they have been together for 20 years. When they first started dating, it so happened that Nevzorov left her alone in a wooden dilapidated house without water and gas, and even with two puppies. She endured everything with dignity, Alexander jokes, and he immediately married her.
Caring husband and father
Evil tongues say that he does not trust his wife, because he tightly controls her, doesn’t let her go anywhere, there is always a guard next to her. But the journalist denied all these idle gossip. Yes, indeed it is. But he does not protect, but protects her. Affect the “second” psychological trauma that Alexander Nevzorov once received. His biography confirms how dangerous the profession of a journalist can be. In 1990, Alexander Nevzorov was assassinated. They shot him.
But even though the journalist claims that he himself provoked the attack, he is well aware that the life of those close to him can be in danger, and he defends as much as he can. The spouse understands that excessive custody is a manifestation of love and care, and is not offended. Wife Lydia is a hippologist scientist. In addition, she graduated from the art academy. The wife is a reliable assistant to Alexander. She edits his books, helps in shooting films, chronicles manege lessons.
In 2007, the son of Sasha appeared in the family. Nevzorov spends a lot of time with the child, reads, watches movies together. He happily listens to dad, shares his impressions and expresses his own point of view. The son of Nevzorov takes care of even more than his spouse. Sasha is under supervision every second, everyone revolves around him - dad, mom, grandmothers, nannies.
“As for my son, I’m generally a reinsurer,” says Alexander Nevzorov. Biography, parents, personal relationships, events, which he witnessed, once again remind you how close people need protection and attention. His way of life is quite satisfactory. He rises at 6:30 in the morning, solves household issues - feeds and feeds horses. At 9 o’clock the commandant arrives, together they carry out harvesting work in the enclosures, after which classes in the arena. In the country house where the Nevzorov family lives, there is a small stable.
A hobby that has become life
Alexander Nevzorov created several films about his hobby: “Horse Encyclopedia”, “The Horse Crucified and Resurrected”. The journalist wrote a number of books about horses and equestrian sports, founded his own horse education school - “Ekol”, where much attention is paid to working with animals without means of coercion. “I am against horse violence!” - says Alexander Nevzorov. The biography of this talented person shows how wide the range of his interests is. Despite a successful career and literary talent, he considers his true mission to be connected with horses. Alexander Nevzorov does this with great enthusiasm and pleasure.
