Journalism is one of the most important professions in the twenty-first century, and all because modern life obliges a person to own information. At the same time, each representative of the media is a kind of mouthpiece that brings to the masses the details of various events, as well as analyzes incidents and political news. Thus, an experienced, qualified and decent journalist has a direct impact on the processes taking place in society. And one of such active figures is the Russian Evgeny Poddubny.
Personal data

It was he who contacted the Army General Vladimir Boldyrev to transmit an emergency message from the head of the Security Council of South Ossetia Barankevich, which stated that there were no reserves for the defense and defense of Tskhinval.

Fortunately, none of the crew were injured.
