civilians by the ukrainian military. and he himself became their target, although the operator of the attack drone clearly saw that he was aiming at the unarmed journalist. we are proud to have worked with boria. we remember. borya, boris bakhtiyavich maksudov, bakhtiyaroch, as he was called at the front, and what was the name of his telegram channel. he didn’t like being called voenkor on air. being where the country needs to be most important now. he asked to be presented on air as a special correspondent, he believed that in war the main people are, and no matter what they call you, it is important to show people, and he did this every

day, and he seemed to find himself there, in the war , this is now being done by our guys, our military correspondents, who are from... the regions , i’m here in a hot spot, i work there every day, and this is your award, guys, tefi, the highest television award in russia was awarded to military correspondents of vgtrk, this includes and his reward, our bori. he gave his life calling, 40 days have passed, and we remember , they say, when close people pass away, you usually mourn yourself more, having lost this

friend, comrade, and it seems to me that this is true, i lost a good friend, comrade, with whom i had so many plans for old age, it seemed, was about to end, finally projects , business trips, trips, and you could talk enough, seemingly endless fields around, of course, you want to quickly get to some kind of shelter and it’s already quite cold in zaporozhye, sub-zero temperature, that’s why too is making adjustments to the battle tactics now, the last stand-up somewhere at the advanced part-time job in the zaporozhye region, the last one, which he managed to transfer to the editor. on november 22, boris maksudov filmed a report about the shelling of civilians by the ukrainian armed forces. i

interviewed russian military men in dugouts, who also did not dream of being in a combat zone. i saw in them ordinary people who love their fatherland, be it a cook or a school director from small dagestan. borya didn’t have time to edit this report. i'm a journalist too i was in hot spots at one time, and i was there in new territories, that ’s what bori did, it’s very easy there, when you see civilians dying, it’s very easy to accept this hatred of yourself, to include it in your reports, but i watched the fighting reports, this is good, excellent journalism, exactly where a person belongs there. i didn’t see it, this is journalism with a capital j, he did not do propaganda, but reports, real reports that anyone can watch, and there’s just the truth, reset from a drone, an explosion, the first report of a seemingly non-fatal wound gave hope, doctors in the field performed a complex

operation, fought for the life of our colleague for several hours, but could not save, on the morning of november 23, boris maksudov died, another ...

everyone knows well from the soviet hit, but it’s one thing to hear it, it’s quite another thing to feel it for yourself, we are beyond the north , what this north is in vain called the extreme, arctic circle, let’s go, just imagine, there are 86 people in this orchestra, which means 86 musical instruments, the mistake of one is a failure for all, despite the fact that one half of the orchestra does not speak the language of the other half and never. they had never performed together before. boris maksudov traveled to the combat zone from the very beginning of the special military operation. and the fact that he ended up there for all his loved ones and people who knew him, it was rather some kind of, well, dissonance, or something , well, disharmony, fighting, war, how, but he liked it, he... it seems to me all his life he tried to show everyone that he is a man, that he

can, that he is capable, and this is in some way to a certain extent, apparently, there was this very thing, the opportunity to convince himself of everyone around him that he is not a coward, that he understands what he is doing, that in any situation, he can do it. boris believed that talking about a war hundreds of kilometers away - donetsk is still under fire in the petrovsky

district, which this morning was not just shelled by artillery, a ballistic missile hit a building, one of the water utility buildings, in fact, here is the evidence: fragment, fragment, it’s hard to call it, fragment of ballistic a rocket that exploded here at 4 in the morning and simply left no stone unturned from the building, which was located on the site of this huge crater, 30 m in diameter, perhaps four human... deep, but later, throughout his entire business trip, including with his group, we worked directly, i can say that we did one thing, one job, we recorded these facts of criminal actions, and borya directly told people about them in his stories, and at the same time he did not consider himself a military officer , said, he is of little interest and is even frightened, quote, by all these guns, guns,

everything, he said, well, a face is hardly a good guide for guidance, literally 2

weeks later we all received bad news. borya, as many know, is a man of deep worldview, so he sees the situation very deeply, the picture that is happening, and his main goal here was... to directly show how it really is, people’s experiences, the immediate situation, the one that is happening and show exactly the truth that is happening, he said that...

we were faced with more than we gave. boris maksudov was born in uzbekistan, his mother is also a journalist, his father died early in the line of duty. at school in the city of nukus, borya was an excellent athlete, successfully engaged in freestyle wrestling, the soul of the company is sparkling, cheerful and incredibly wise. we are simply in carpet heaven.

and i’m visiting my uzbek relatives, aunt, in uzbek, that’s right. call ame, we’re learning the uzbek language, and i can’t help but share this comeback to childhood, these are the ditches, one of the symbols of my uzbek, there something floated, he loved to launch boats , haresm navai, this is not a region, it ’s the name of an oriental fairy tale, at the end of october , before that very last business trip, borya went to his homeland, he wanted to show his wife olga armyakova the city of his childhood and introduce him to his relatives, borya shot this video mounted. he organized a spontaneous meeting of graduates and at the same time went to the tashkent film festival while essentially on vacation and filmed three reports about it. the tashkent film festival is , of course, on the one hand, a slight nostalgia for the past; the soviet heritage is good here

remember, but also an attempt to look at the uzbekistan of the future. that's all he is, a hardworking, inquisitive person. i never saw him without a mood, he was always in some kind of mood , he was always so cheerful, he always gathered boys there to play football, for example, he was always a judge, he always organized it all, i’ve never heard so that he would discuss someone, he always paid us all in a telegram... he was the first to give us topics for conversation, he was such a motivator for us, he always wanted live communication, he always wanted us to record videos, we all corresponded there, but he wanted, no, come on , friends, let's write a video, circles, let's record this one, he always

showed it himself, that's how it is easy, but we are not used to the camera, we write... after a while , borisa’s family moved to the krasnodar region. borya got a job at the sochi newspaper, then at local television. later he switched to another tv channel and went to krasnodar. we met in 2005, to be honest, at first i didn’t really perceive this strange thing, as it seemed to me, an arrogant young, pseudo-intellectual guy. plus, for some reason i couldn’t remember his name. due to the consonance of his last name, for some reason i tried to call him maxim, but then we started working closely together, i remembered his name was boris bakhtiyarovich, especially with such a rather atypical middle name, and we developed such a certain tandem, but because why no matter what they did, it was always quite interesting, to the point that even

the simplest material about the demolition of some kind of waste incineration pipe former plant, this turned into a whole straight... report from the flooded krymsk, where more than a hundred people died, from start to finish, built olympic facilities in sochi on air. that is, the best stories are always there, borina, this is the stand, yes, famous. there behind my back, yes, behind his back there were always excavators embroidered, built, towering , there ships flew, and then bullets whistled,

unfortunately, but always his reports and how much later we followed his entire career, all his stories, and watched always with great with pleasure, these are people, as a reporter, tvc was already filming a referentum on the return of crimea to russia, after which he stayed on the peninsula, then switched to our tv channel. and moved to moscow, he was the soul of our , modest or not modest sochi journalistic community, then the man went even higher, got a job at the state television and radio broadcasting company, and i, as a person who worked on federal channels, was wildly pleased and i felt proud from the fact that this man who is here... uh, next to me was walking knock-knock-knock-knock along the steps and i count reached the top - any journalist. boris

had a rare gift, no matter where he moved, to maintain close relationships with everyone and constantly maintain communication. his friends from the krasnodar region knew that when they came to moscow, they could stop wearing their clothes. when february twenty-two came, many people’s projects were cancelled, that is, this is still a completely abnormal situation, and many are there. anyway , they plunged into some kind of anxious state, like many russians, according to polls, and borya, what did he come up with, he started a group on telegram, borya says: add his friends, friends, friends, he just united us, this is probably one of the legacies that our relationship left us, when we met, we seemed to remember him, well , he’s just still with us, this group in circles, this is borya, he always loved to unite, he always saw something good in us that we ourselves did not see, this photo of boriya, which now stands in a mourning frame, was taken by cameraman dmitry vlasov, during their business trip to yakutia. and boris and i

went on an amazing expedition to nerving, yakutia, so we filmed there in forces siberia project, that’s where we met him for the first time, and i really don’t like working with him because first of all, he ’s clear, he knows what he wants, purposeful, with a sense of humor. savvy in the topic, never swam , he was in it, that is, there was no work just for pleasure, that is, you understood that you need to film this, film this , stand-up, let's go, smile, joke, move on, man is a holiday , he was not afraid to seem funny and absurd, he always found words of support if he saw him on the screen colleague, he immediately took a photo and sent it with the same compliment, he willingly answered all comments on his blog, he was never shy about asking questions, because any answers give you knowledge, expand your horizons, and he was above that, and that too such an iconic quality, he has always been studying

for the last five years, he has tried very hard to pass on his knowledge what he has learned and tried to teach others, i am a television reporter, a reporter by vocation, a teacher by profession, graduated from the relevant faculty sochi state university, he began teaching journalism. others, how to get on television, two words, well, how you came, worked for several years to your detriment, that’s all. he was the author of an intensive course on military reporting; the military correspondent school brought together correspondents from different tv channels that work in the donbass, kherson and zaporozhye regions. and this fall he became a permanent teacher at the faculty of media at synergy university. go! friends, hello everyone, this is the faculty of media.

asked, i said: pain, listen, well, that’s how you are already deserved, re-deserved, experienced correspondent, russia 24, status, listen , my children work, well, give a master class, maybe you need money or something else, he says: listen, nothing is needed, yes, of course, what questions in general , and he came from moscow, and worked with the guys, and i saw how much fun he had, there is no such thing that you have to be there for 12 hours at the workplace, is there a duty? you can come, plus or minus, you must always be ready to be called. while instructing students, he said that it was important to preserve keep a level head and treat any news with a grain of salt. you receive an assignment

depending on which... department it concerns, you either go to a group of cities, or to an international group, or to the gge. until the end, he believed in professional journalism, that it was not dead, that it existed, and it seems to me that the most important thing that he taught them was to question everything, ask a lot of questions, read, think. in essence, this is the very critical thinking without which a journalist is not a journalist. then, having found answers to the questions, try to convey this through human stories, then the stories turned out good. a few days before borya’s death, he turned 38 years old. here is the minute anniversary, and this wonderful post about when he wrote, what and why summer they are winters, springs or, say, months, maybe it’s better to count in months, then i’m 463 months or...

333.107 hours as of 11:00 moscow for almost 20 million minutes, about the anniversary, if in minutes? i don’t know a single person in the world who would calculate his life in minutes. boris still has many unrealized plans, from filmed materials, never released stories, documentaries. boris will finish his last report. wife, our colleague olga armyakova, and we will definitely show it on our air.

we will take on this case, it will be an honest detective story.

and now on our air is the golden collection of nikita mikhalkov’s author’s program bssagon tv. in the re-release, the author proposes to talk about the problems of interaction between the society of power in russia.
