Timeline

1956

Yevgeny Alexeyevich Kiselyov (Евгений Алексеевич Киселёв, Євген Олексійович Кисельов; born 15 June 1956) is a Russian television journalist.

1984

He began his broadcast career with the Persian service of Radio Moscow in 1984, moving to television three years later.

1990

As the host of the NTV weekly news show Itogi in the 1990s, he became one of the nation's best known television journalists, criticizing government corruption and President Boris Yeltsin.

Kiselyov was a "pioneering" television journalist in Russia in the 1990s after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and in 1997, the New York Times described him as "Russia's most prominent television journalist".

During this period, he hosted the popular weekly news show Itogi ("Results") on the independent station NTV.

The show was modeled on the long-running US news program 60 Minutes.

Kiselyov described Itogi's politics as "anti-Communist, pro-reform and pro-democracy", and it specialized in investigating government corruption.

However, critics stated that the show was "excessively politicized", and settled scores on behalf of the station's owner.

1991

He became famous in 1991 when he refused to report official Soviet news as the USSR was losing control of the Baltic states.

1999

In 1999, Itogi broadcast an episode in which Kiselyov broke new ground by lambasting the administration of Boris Yeltsin, describing them as "the family", an "insiders' code phrase" for Yeltsin and his small circle of advisers.

He criticized them for handpicking the latest Cabinet, comparing Yeltsin's rule to that of the Roman emperor Caligula.

As NTV's managing director, Kiselyov was active in protests when a Russian court gave control of the station to the state-controlled company Gazprom, describing the takeover as an attempt by the government of Vladimir Putin to suppress dissent.

2001

In 2001, he left NTV following its takeover by the state-controlled company Gazprom, serving briefly as general manager of TV-6 before the government refused to renew its broadcasting license in January 2002.

He later moved to Ukraine, where he became a presenter of various political talk shows.

Kiselyov is the son of an aviation engineer.

A student in Persian at Moscow State University, he later worked as an interpreter in Iran and Afghanistan during the Soviet–Afghan War.

In April 2001, he and several others were ousted from the board of directors by Gazprom.

NTV's journalists condemned the cull, stating that the "ultimate goal of this meeting is the imposing of full political control over us".

Along with a number of NTV journalists, he moved to rival station TV-6.

With the arrival of the NTV team, TV-6's ratings more than doubled.

Kiselyov continued to report on sensitive topics including corruption and the conflict in Chechnya.

He also became the station's general manager.

2002

In January 2002, however, the station's broadcasting license expired and was given by the government to another company, forcing them off the air.

Kiselyov called it a "television coup" showing that the authorities' "single goal" was to "gag" the station.

The government disputed his statement, saying that the non-renewal of TV-6's license was "purely a business decision".

In March 2002, Kiselyov teamed with the Media-Socium Group, a group of pro-Putin businesspeople that included former prime minister Yevgeny Primakov, and was re-awarded the broadcasting license to the station.

A BBC News analyst stated that the new political ownership was "likely to ensure the journalists do not ruffle too many feathers above".

2003

The new station, TVS, soon ran into financial difficulties and quarrels between shareholders, and was closed by the government in June 2003 on the grounds of "viewers' interests".

Though viewed as less critical than its predecessor, it had been the last television station to criticize the Putin government.

With the station's end, Nezavisimaya Gazeta called Russia "the one-channel country", stating that private television had once again disappeared, and Ekho Moskvy criticized the "complete state monopoly of country-wide channels".

Kiselyov stated that his priority following the closure was to find new jobs for the news staff, some of whom had now followed him through three television stations.

2007

The viewership of Big-Time Politics dropped from 1 million in 2007 to 500,000 people in 2011, reflecting a general decline in interest in political talk shows.

2008

In 2008, Kiselyov moved to Ukraine.

He stated that he moved because working in Ukraine allowed him to be a true political journalist.

"In Russia, there is no open political debate any more. The authorities are hermetically sealed, we can just hypothesize about the discussion going on inside ... Here [in Ukraine] you have access to tons of information, to almost any politician".

He also said that he felt Russian journalism had developed a culture of self-censorship.

2009

Since September 2009, Kiselyov hosted a sociopolitical talk show called Big-Time Politics with Yevgeny Kiselyov on Inter.

Kiselyov presented his (Ukrainian) shows in Russian; his guests spoke Ukrainian or Russian.

2010

On 21 May 2010, the deputy head of the Administration of Ukraine Hanna Herman stated the wish, that Ukraine's most popular political talk shows be anchored only by Ukrainian journalists: "We are still victims to that imperial complex that 'everything coming from Moscow is good, everything Ukrainian is bad'".

2013

In January 2013, Inter replaced Big-Time Politics with a political talk show hosted by Anna Bezulyk.
