Nikolai’s mother taught history at Moscow State University as a teacher, specialized in the countries of Scandinavia.

Career of a journalist, TV presenter
Svanidze Nikolai Karlovich came to television at the invitation of a friend of Yevgeny Kiselyov. Before that, he had not hoped to get into this broadcasting authority because of the Soviet practice of discrimination against Jews. By that time, Nikolai had passed the candidate minimum and wrote two-thirds of the dissertation, but the television worker’s salary was three times what he received.
Nikolai Karlovich began his career with the preparation of analytics, information for television programs. Svanidze from the basics comprehended the state television machine VGTRK in order to become at the helm of the company in a couple of years. He was appointed the country's main television operator under Yeltsin. He held this post from October 1997 to May 1998.
In harmony with conscience
According to Svanidze Nikolai Karlovich, under Boris Nikolaevich, breathing easily for journalists was due to minimal censorship. Svanidze was inspired by a vibrant journalistic team. In it, in addition to the hero of our article, future stars worked: Evgeny Kiselev, Svetlana Sorokina, Sergey Dorenko, Vladislav Flyarkovsky. A team of like-minded people launched the successful Vesti information program.
The same team carried out another wonderful project - “Details”. In journalistic work, Svanidze emphasized professionalism, objectivity and creativity.
Once in the entire career of Svanidze, Nikolai Karlovich showed loyalty to the representative of power. This happened in 1996, when Yeltsin and Zyuganov competed for the presidency. The journalist understood that with the victory of the Communists, the totalitarian party would crush journalism and freedom of speech.
Successful historical super project implemented by Svanidze
Nikolai Karlovich is anxious about the history of Russia, rich in events and personalities. The talent and patriotism of the professor was fully manifested in the new project. People liked the series of television programs "Historical Chronicles with Nikolai Svanidze."
The Russians liked the journalistic interpretation of the great destinies and events from Svanidze. It is available on the Internet and in demand.
Unexpectedly for compatriots, the project was closed, despite its popularity. The 1994 series was the last. An objective historical assessment of current politicians turned out to be undesirable.
Online reviews
Now let's move on to review the reviews. Nikolai Svanidze is an extraordinary person, and they call him differently. Here are some headlines for articles about him found on the web:
- "Forger Carlos Svanidze."
- "The lie of Svanidze and the impotence of Kurginyan."
- "AntiSvanidze."
- "Enemy of Russia Khazarin Svanidze."
- "Posts by Svanidze."
- "N.S. Russophobe?".
- "Friend of our enemies."
Questions beg. Why isn’t this abomination written against a public citizen suppressed by Roskomnadzor? After all, bloggers and providers are subject to control by this organization.
This dirt is pouring into the address of a man awarded the Russian Orders of Honor and “For Personal Courage”. Recall that Svanidze adequately outlined his personal position during the 1993 coup. Boris Yeltsin trusted him in a difficult time, as a person and a citizen, and a journalist never failed the president.
Millions of Russians understand that Nikolai Karlovich is suffering because of the government’s rejection of the ideas of democracy and liberalism. For decades, viewers have become accustomed to seeing a journalist on the screen, but this has happened much less frequently over the past three years. They have a logical question: "Where is Nikolai Karlovich Svanidze now?" Indeed, the fact looks strange: the professor, a former journalist No. 1, is deprived by television channels of the opportunity to conduct an author’s program.
In such a situation, a phrase of biblical origin would be appropriate: "There is no prophet in his own country."
Serving Civil Society
It is not clear to writers of paskvili that Svanidze Nikolai Karlovich fulfills his professional duty when, in a journalistic manner, openly and openly correlates the actions of the authorities with the interests of society.
The professor patiently explains to compatriots the obvious civilizational principles. Svanidze advocates effective control of Russian society over the decisions of sovereign husbands.
Ideological oppositionist
Svanidze Nikolai Karlovich notes how a professional who participated in the relevant state commission sees dangerous deformations of the information environment and points out fellow citizens. He warns of growing loyalty to totalitarianism, resulting from a deliberate leveling of the meaning of the words "democrat" and "liberal."
Svanidze, as a member of the Commission on countering the harmful distortions of Russian history, understands very clearly why this cannot be done.
Conclusion
Svanidze Nikolai Karlovich - a TV journalist of the highest standard, a liberal man, he was formed as a person by the Yeltsin era. He is a patriot of Russia, who understands its history and analyzes the present.
Svanidze does not accept the substitution of concepts, the persecution of the intelligentsia. The historian tells his compatriots that all this has already happened:
- the great Chaliapin was forced to leave Russia because of the persecution for charity for children of immigrants;
- Boris Pasternak was declared an enemy of the people for the written truth about his generation;
- Andrei Sakharov was forced to emigrate because he had the courage to be the first to brand nuclear fanaticism.
The journalist considers perestroika No. 2 to be critical for Russia to gain dynamic development.
