Ildar Zhandarev is a famous Russian television presenter of Tatar origin, whose programs have a many thousands audience. His talk shows are especially popular. The most famous author's program is "At Night Looking", which is still on the First Channel. Despite the late release time, this is a fairly rated project. What did Ildar Zhandarev gain such popularity? The biography and personal life of this person will be the subject of our careful study.

early years

Ildar Wilhelmovich Zhandarev was born in January 1966 in Moscow. His father, Wilhelm Zhandarev, by origin Tatar. Naturally, the son, Ildar Zhandarev, has the same nationality.

All childhood, however, like most of later life, Ildar lived in the capital of our Motherland - in Moscow. Certainly, the capital's way of life has left a certain imprint on his character and future fate. Ever since childhood, he began to notice creative inclinations. Although the parents wanted the boy to go on a technical path.

Study

Ildar studied at the local Moscow school. After graduating, to please his parents, he entered the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute. It is the largest specialized educational institution in the country of technical orientation. It was founded already in 1921, and by now has already acquired the status of a university. Ildar Zhandarev successfully graduated in 1989.

After graduating from high school, Ildar Wilhelmovich worked for two years in his specialty as an engineer.

Coming to TV

In 1991, Ildar Zhandarev completely changed his life. He refused to work in the specialty, which he studied at the institute, as he found his real vocation - work on television. Of course, this act was quite bold and at first aroused censure of relatives, but the future showed that the guy did not lose.

He began to work on the RTR channel, which was formed quite recently on the basis of the Second Channel. It was really at that time the second most important channel in the state. Here Ildar Zhandarev realizes his talent to its fullest. He is the lead author and the director of various television projects that have won the public's love. The most significant of them: "Kiss in the diaphragm", "The plot and" paragraph. "

At that time his partner, Boris Isaakovich Berman, who was the organizer of the K-2 Studio and was the head of the directorate of the RTR-Film project, became his partner. He helped to make Ildar Zhandarev the aforementioned programs and was their co-author. Later they worked together on many other channels.

Switching to NTV

In 1999, TV presenter Zhandarev, along with his colleague Boris Berman, moved to NTV. At that time it was one of the most popular commercial channels in Russia, which, moreover, was gaining more and more momentum, trying to aggressively move forward in all segments of the market, to cover both terrestrial television, both satellite and cable. The channel made very high-quality and demanded content, had many target units and a very powerful line-up of journalists and leading journalists, among them Yevgeny Kiselev.

On this channel, Zhandarev and Berman jointly produced a series of films called "Interesting Cinema". This work they liked very much, because they could fully realize their ideas.

However, they did not have to work on NTV for long. The channel differed oppositional views in relation to the government of Russia, besides its owner - media magnate Vladimir Gusinsky - was involved in dark schemes. Therefore, in 2001, the channel was replaced by the owner. A significant part of the team of journalists left NTV in protest and moved to work on the TV-6 channel, where Evgeny Kiselyov became the leader . Among them were Zhandarev and Berman.

In a new place

On the TV-6 channel, colleagues continued to shoot a series of films "Interesting Cinema". In addition, Ildar Wilhelmovich is launching his author program "No protocol". By and large, for Zhandarev and Berman nothing has changed: they worked on the same projects as NTV, in the same mode and with the same team. This allowed us to hope for a more stable future and confidence in the future.

But in 2002 this channel is closed. The formal reason was the requirement that the channel be declared bankrupt from one of the state companies that owned 15% of the shares. But it is rumored that the real reason was the fact that the real owner of TV-6 was Boris Berezovsky, who used the channel to criticize the government.

On TVS channel

Whatever it was, but in 2002, Zhandarev and Berman were again changing the dislocation. This time the TVS channel becomes the place of their work. This TV and radio company was founded by Evgeny Kiselyov and his team after the closure of TV-6. Kiselev became the editor-in-chief of the channel. The collective owned 10% of the company. There, Zhandarev and Berman continue to do what they did when they worked for the previous TV companies, namely, to produce the "No Protocol" and "Interesting Cinema" programs.

But the team was after real rock. Due to a lack of financing and growth in arrears both for wages and for other obligations, the TVS channel was closed.

Going to the "First Channel"

After TVS was closed, Zhandarev and Bergman received an invitation from the leadership of Channel One to go to work. The journalists accepted this proposal. Here they continued to work on a series of programs "Interesting Cinema". In addition, since 2004 they have been making a special issue of the program - "Interesting cinema in Berlin". It was published approximately every 20th of February. The last issue of this special project was in 2014.

In the autumn of 2004, Ildar Zhandarev and Boris Berman, as TV presenter of the First Channel, broadcast the "Five Evenings" program, which was devoted to the discussion of the sensational series "The Moscow Saga", based on the trilogy of Vasily Aksenov. Then they replaced Andrei Malakhov.

In addition, the partners led the opening and closing ceremonies of the Moscow Film Festival, during which they interviewed numerous movie stars and directors. This was a regular duty of Zhandarev and Berman, beginning in 2004 and ending with 2013.

Transfer "At night looking"

But the greatest success of the joint creativity of Zhandarev and Berman was their general project "At night looking." This program is a kind of talk show, which hosts a conversation between the leading figures of the most diverse spheres: cinema, theater, literature, music, etc. Among the invited characters of the program are such well-known names as Grigory Leps, Natalya Negoda, Tina Kandelaki , Victor Sukhorukov, Alexander Baluyev, Nikita Mikhalkov, Mikhail Turetsky, Maxim Dunaevsky, Sergey Shnurov, Andrei Konchalovsky, Nikolai Tsiskaridze, Elena Vaenga, Dima Bilan, and many others. TV anchors of the First Channel asked them sharp and interesting questions, and they received no less interesting answers.

This project was a kind of degeneration of the "No Protocol" program. The main difference was that the hosts refused to discuss political topics and invited politicians as guests of the studio, as they did in the previous program. It is also quite interesting creative approach of authors, who are also leading, to the organization of the program. During the conduct of the talk show, they play the role of "good and bad cop."

The program "At night looking" began to go out since 2006. At first it was published daily on weekdays, but then it was decided to stop on a weekly basis. The duration of the airtime is about 1 hour, along with a break for commercials. However, at one time the program went out seasonally and only since 2010 has firmly taken its place in the broadcast grid. Until the end of 2007, its production was occupied by the Soho Production studio. After that, until today, the transfer is released by the "Orange Studio" and "Red Studio", owned by the television company "Red Square".

By its name, the program is due to a rather late broadcast - about midnight. But, despite such a late time, "At night looking" won its target audience. And enjoys constant popularity with the audience.

We appreciated the TV program and critics. In 2008 and 2009 in the category "Interviewer" she received the highest Russian television award TEFI.

The program "At night looking" is aired on the First Channel and is very popular to this day. To do this, its leaders Ildar Zhandarev and Boris Berman are making every effort. The benefit of creative thinking and charisma, so necessary in the creation of such programs, they have in abundance.

Merit

In addition to the TEFI Award for the transfer "At night looking," Ildar Zhandarev has other achievements and awards.

He is a member of the Academy of Cinematographic Arts "Nika", a member of the Union of Cinematographers, and also a member of a very honorable organization - the Academy of Russian Television. But, of course, even greater awards and achievements await Ildar Zhandarev in the continuation of his television career.

Personal life

The public naturally interests with whom Ildar Zhandarev lives, personal life and family composition of this TV presenter.

Although Ildar Wilhelmovich was already in his sixth decade, he has no children. There were even rumors about his connection with Boris Berman, invariably paired with whom he has been working on various Russian channels since 1991, that is, for more than 25 years. Unreasonable rumors gave rise to the fact that Zhandarev and Berman lived together. In addition, they appear at different events always together. At the same time, none of them officially confirmed these rumors. And their permanent appearance in public places together they explain by the fact that for 25 years of working together viewers perceive creative partners as a single entity and do not recognize them separately. In addition, they are connected, of course, with many years of true friendship.

But in an interview given in 2006, Ildar Zhandarev spoke in more detail about his personal life. His family is himself and his wife Anna, with whom they live since the early 2000s. Ildar says that she loves her very much, and he could only dream of such a woman earlier.

general characteristics

Well-known Russian TV presenter Ildar Vilgelmovich Zhandarev is one of the most recognizable journalists in the country. The programs created by him in the company with partner Boris Berman are really interesting and fascinating, they make the audience think about important universal values. The refined and benevolent manner of smiling Zhandarev's communication with invited guests contrasts sharply with the coarser and skeptical form of communication of the gloomy Berman, which gives the duo a great deal of uniqueness. But, despite the apparent softness, Ildar firmly defends his opinion when working issues are touched upon.

It is safe to say that all those projects for which Ildar Zhandarev is taken are made as professionally as possible, as evidenced by the constant high rating of his author's programs. But let us hope that the best and most interesting programs from Ildar Wilhelmovich are expected in the future. We wish him creative success.
