Often, television correspondents, quite often appearing with reports on the screen, cause genuine interest in their person. At the same time, it is far from always possible to find interesting information about the biography or personal life of this category of journalists.
Asya Emelyanova, correspondent
In reports from sunny Italy, the viewer can see a pretty cheerful young blonde whose reports are interesting, dynamic and relevant.
We are talking about a journalist who is currently patronizing the Roman bureau of VGTRK. This is Asya Emelyanova, whose biography did not even make it to Wikipedia. She prefers to talk about the fate of others and not talk about her own.
She told interesting information about herself. She described her favorite work in numbers as follows:
- daily - 8 cups of espresso coffee;
- weekly - 7 relevant stories;
- monthly - 31 days on a business trip;
- annually - up to three vacation weeks, under successful circumstances.
The correspondent spoke quite interestingly about her
life credo .
She considers her task:
- to be on the air, even if you do not have time;
- Get an interview, even if they don’t give it;
- to be in the right place, even if the flight was canceled.
The result of all this is a three-minute broadcast, which Asya called the most beloved, but the shortest part of journalistic activity.
She really fearlessly goes to various places where current events take place, tries to keep her finger on the pulse. Her reports are creative, sincerely emotional.
Asya Emelyanova, personal life
From the scanty snippets of information on the Internet sites about the biography of the TV journalist, you can find out that she was born in Vologda in 1978, September 4.
Asya Emelyanova opened to a wide audience when she formed a tandem with such a rather bright and extraordinary personality as Evgeny Vladimirovich Lagrange.
This talented cameraman VGTRK has a large number of documentaries and reports from the Vatican, Italian, Greek, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Iraqi cities and villages. He visited hot spots in Chechnya, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon. Among the employees of the television and radio company, an opinion was established about him as "a fearless, obsessed and spontaneous person."
In 2006, VGTRK’s own correspondent in Italy, Asya Emelyanova, and the TV operator of the company’s South European bureau, E. V. Lagrange, united into a duet, which was often called on television "Russia" one of the workshops.
Creative Union Results
Among Russian journalists, they were the first to transfer material from France from the Aquila earthquake (April 2009), from the Costa Concordia wreck (January 2012), where the largest cruise passenger ship from the wreck collided with reefs.
Based on the materials of reports about this clash, the documentary "The Titanic Course" was subsequently edited near the Mediterranean island of Giglio, where many remembered the emotional and exciting comments made by Asya Emelyanova.
The audience remembered the work of this tandem on covering the situation with the election of the new head of the Catholic Church in the Vatican (March 2013).
The death of a cameraman
The unexpected death of Eugene Lagrange in March 2013 was a shock for many. Colleagues knew the talented operator as an avid motorcyclist.
On Friday, the 22nd, he went to meet his fifteen-year-old daughter Nastya, who was supposed to fly to Italy by plane. His bike on the A91 highway from Rome to Fiumicino gained high speed and crashed into a fence in the area of the last bend near the entrance to the Leonardo da Vinci airport terminal. It was probably affected by rainy Italian weather, as a result of which the road was rather slippery.
Eugene Lagrange was buried in the Moscow
Don cemetery. After his death, Asya Emelyanova continued fruitful work on one of our leading television channels.
About the gossip around the TV journalist
Having made such a lightning career, Asya attracted increased attention to her person. The Internet was full of, including various dirty rumors, which were not stinted by various ill-wishers.
Some accused her of having broken up the Lagrange family, although the latter broke up with her former wife, who was 14 years older, without her participation.
According to the journalist, they were connected only by a creative union. The same idea was confirmed by the father of Eugene - the famous photojournalist Vladimir Rufinovich Lagrange.
After the death of his son in an interview, he and his wife Nina Petrovna unanimously stated that the relationship between their son and Asya was purely creative. In the process of broadcasting, Asya was just beginning to think about the need to take any angle, as she immediately saw that Eugene was already taking this off.
Recently, a rumor has been circulating on the Internet that Asya became pregnant from an Italian burdened by his family in order to stay in this country. Someone is trying to accuse her of sympathy for Ukrainian nationalists.
It is difficult to say what is the truth in these gossip, nevertheless Emelyanova continues to work with dignity on the respected Russian channel.
