Artyom Sheinin is a TV presenter and screenwriter who went from participating in the Afghan war to working on Channel One in one of the main analytical programs on television. He hosts the program “Time will tell” and “First Studio”, where they discuss pressing economic and political issues that invariably concern all citizens in the country. The biography and personal life of journalist Artyom Sheinin is extremely rich and interesting for television viewers.
Childhood and adolescence
The future famous TV presenter was born in Moscow in the winter of 1966. Artyom was raised without a father, so his mother, who needed to feed her family, worked two jobs at once. The boy often remained under the supervision of his grandparents. Subsequently, Sheinin spoke warmly about his childhood, claiming that he especially loved his grandfather, who worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, often visited abroad and brought his grandson souvenirs from long trips.
At school, Sheinin was an excellent student; the young man pleased his teachers with his exemplary behavior and his parents with his grades in his diary. It is known that, as a teenager, Artem did a lot of physical education and always participated in school sports competitions, where he achieved good results. Immediately after graduating from school in 1984, the guy was drafted into the army. After several months of training, the future journalist was assigned to an air assault brigade and sent to Afghanistan.
Artem Sheinin now
Shane received a TEFI nomination in 2020 for his work as the host of the political show First Studio. But even then, viewers perceived him ambiguously because of his harsh statements about the West and his manner of presenting programs. After all, this man once brought into the studio a bucket with brown contents and the inscription “shit”, which was intended for a guest from Ukraine, columnist Zaporozhsky.
When the First Studio project was closed, Sheinin became the main presenter of Time Will Tell. And when there was an issue about DPR fighter Arseniy Pavlov, who died in Ukraine, Artem Grigorievich spoke out in his defense with the phrase “I also killed,” which quickly caused a wide public outcry.
In 2020, Sheinin, discussing the reaction of Russian fans to the team’s defeat in the third match of the tournament, used obscene language live on Channel One. There is an opinion that for this the journalist will be punished with “official penalties of an internal nature.”
Participation in hostilities
The biography of the host of “Time will tell” Artyom Sheinin is interesting and rich. He served in Afghanistan for two long years, where he took direct part in the fighting. The air assault brigade was sent into the thick of it, it was necessary to storm passes and clear small villages of the Mujahideen and the local population sympathizing with them. These bloody events left an indelible mark on the guy’s soul; he had to witness the death of his comrades every day and constantly risk his life.
During his service, Sheinin visited:
- In Kandahar.
- In the Pankisi Gorge.
- In the Salah pass.
- In Kabul.
According to Sheinin, during his service he saw all the injustice of the Soviet army; he constantly encountered tyrant commanders who did not spare the guys, sending them to certain death. It was at this time that the future journalist became battle-hardened, set priorities in his life and learned to always maintain a sober mind and be collected in any, even the most difficult and hopeless situation.
In 1968, Artyom Grigorievich completed his military service and returned from Afghanistan with the rank of Airborne Forces sergeant. He was offered to continue his military career, but Sheinin refused, planning to settle his life in civilian life. The end of the eighties were the years of perestroika, economic crisis and turmoil.
After the army, he was unable to find a job, and according to the military quota for former Afghan veterans, Sheinin was able to enter the history department at Lomonosov Moscow State University.
Life in civilian life
What did Artyom Sheinin want to become after the army? His biography says that, having returned home, he decided to connect his fate with history, politics and other considerations. However, once again in Moscow, he could not adapt to new realities for a long time, because the USSR began to slowly disintegrate and everything was changing rapidly.
His career growth did not begin immediately. And so the young man began to study. He was able to easily enter the Faculty of History at Moscow State University. The learning process itself did not cause him any serious difficulties and opened up certain prospects. In 1993, he graduated from high school and received a specialist diploma. After this, for several years he traveled around the country as an anthropologist, studying the terrain of Chukotka and Sakhalin.
Studying at the University
Being an excellent student at school, Sheinin easily studied to become a historian and already at the university decided to choose a scientific path for himself. He took part in various student expeditions and often traveled throughout the country. He visited Sakhalin, Chukotka, and was engaged in archaeological excavations in the countries of Central Asia. Sheinin fondly remembers his student years as the most carefree, cheerful and happy.
In 1993, the future journalist received a diploma of higher education, got a job as an anthropologist and wandered around the country, taking part in various scientific expeditions. Sheinin's colleagues predicted a great future for him in science, however, according to the future TV presenter, he soon became disillusioned with his profession and decided to radically change something in his life.

Work on RTR
On one of his scientific trips, the guy saw an advertisement in the city newspaper looking for journalists for the RTR channel, who needed people who could talk interestingly and competently about their travels. Artyom decided to try something new in life, went into journalism, passed a preliminary audition and took part in auditions for the role of the TV presenter of the “Endless Journey” program. However, it was not possible to get the coveted position, while producer Tatyana Afonina advised the young man, who had real creative talent, to become a screenwriter.
On the RTR channel, Sheinin worked on the following projects:
- "Classmates."
- "Endless journey".
- "The Forgotten Regiment"
- "Modern History".
- "Time".

At the same time, he works on the NTV channel, acting as a correspondent in various documentary programs, including those dedicated to the Afghan war.
The former paratrooper, who had risen from private to sergeant, could talk interestingly and captivatingly about the course of the battles and the mood of local residents who did not favor the Soviet army. Sheinin remained on friendly terms with Kiselyov; according to him, he can call him at any time or write a message on Twitter.
Professional Development
Artyom Sheinin is a journalist who has worked on several television channels: ORT, NTV, TVS. He was the editor of the programs “Times”, “Odnokashniki” and others.

In addition, he was often involved in many other programs, including news ones, where he was able to fully realize his potential as an analyst and columnist. And in 2008 he became the head of the Posner project. Sheinin was also listed as the creative producer of the “One-Storey America” program, but in practice he completely supervised the entire team. Thanks to this television project, Artem was able to travel all over the United States and get to know their customs and way of life well.
Contract with Channel One
On the advice of his old friend Tatyana Fomina, at the beginning of the 2000s, Sheinin began collaborating with Vladimir Pozner, who at that time was the chief editor of the Vremena news program. At the same time, the guru of Russian journalism Artyom Grigorievich participates in the travel program “One-Storey America,” which he does in collaboration with Ivan Urgant. According to the future TV presenter, in the documents he was appointed creative director, but in reality he had to manage the entire film crew, acting as a single director and correspondent.
List of journalist projects:
- "National Interest".
- "Posner".
- "Time will show".
- "First Studio".
Sheinin notes that working on the “One-Story America” project allowed him to learn all the ins and outs of life in the USA, which is not shown in Hollywood films. After the release of this project, the journalist disappeared from the screens for several years, and television viewers often asked questions on the Channel One forums about where their favorite presenter had gone and whether he would appear in the near future.
In 2020, Sheinin was invited to host the political program “Time Will Tell,” which airs on Channel One. Initially, Artyom Grigorievich was an expert in this program, but after its host Pyotr Tolstoy moved to the State Duma, he took his place.
“Time will show” on Channel One is a socio-political show that airs daily on weekdays, where the host and invited guests discuss significant domestic and foreign political issues. Ekaterina Strizhenova also works in the studio, who interviews guests of the program. Sheinin, who has a creative approach, can support a discussion on any topic, expresses his opinion cogently, and also selects interesting interlocutors who are invariably interesting to viewers of this program.
Sheinin was remembered by television viewers as a good speaker and a stately man who was not afraid to express harsh thoughts and openly criticized the structure of the United States and the Western world. The program “Time will tell” and the live “First Studio” with Artyom Sheinin had good success with the audience. However, Sheinin still failed to achieve ratings comparable to similar shows aired on the Russia-1 TV channel with Vladimir Solovyov.
It is known that Artyom Grigorievich Sheinin is trying himself as a writer. He released an autobiographical book entitled “My Afghanistan. The Sound of Music”, in which he spoke about the events of bygone years. On the pages of this story, from a philosophical point of view, he gives comments on the structure of the world, discusses whether it is possible to solve certain problems by force, while destroying other people.
Career development
After receiving his diploma in 1993, he worked as an anthropologist and, due to the specifics of his profession, traveled a lot around the country, visiting its most remote corners: Sakhalin and Chukotka. One day he read an advertisement in the newspaper about a casting on RTR for the role of the host of the talk show “Endless Journey” and went to the audition. 28-year-old Artem failed to pass it then, but producer Tatyana Fonina gave him good advice - to try his hand at writing scripts.
Artem Sheinin travels a lot
As a result, in 1995, the young man began collaborating with the Rossiya TV channel, writing scripts for television programs about distant travels. With the advent of the new weekly program "National Interest" in 1997, he became one of its editors. The aspiring journalist also participated in the creation of a number of documentary projects on the NTV channel, including “Congress of the Vanquished”, “Afghan Trap”, and was the leading editor of the programs “Forgotten Regiment” and “Together”.
Artem Sheinin and Vladimir Pozner
In the early 2000s, his fruitful collaboration began with the master of national television journalism, Vladimir Pozner. Until 2008, he worked as editor-in-chief of its analytical program “Times,” and after its closure (due to the limited ability to “speak openly about the most important things and criticize”) he began directing his new program “Posner.”
In 2008, Channel One premiered a series of films about the trip of Posner, Ivan Urgant and American writer Brian Kahn across the United States under the general title “One-Storey America,” in the creation of which Sheinin was directly involved as a creative producer. Together with the film crew, he traveled along the route described in the famous book of the same name by Ilf and Petrov, becoming acquainted with the life of ordinary citizens of this country.

He zealously wanted to know on what basis they were removed. The American journalist shamelessly interrupted him, which Artem did not tolerate and attacked with his fists.

A lot of problems arise from Sheinin. He might not even come back from vacation. He was not officially kicked out; he himself left his post on TV.
Who replaced Artem Sheinin
Instead, Anatoly Kuzichev, a columnist, director, Russian journalist and TV presenter, became Ekaterina Strizhenova’s co-host.
October-2017
Andrei’s personal scandal month began on the 16th with an almost bull terrier-like seizure of the program’s guest, American journalist Michael Bohm. The topic was the removal of flags from the buildings of Russian diplomatic missions in the United States, and in the midst of an argument, the presenter allowed himself to be assaulted after a foreigner interrupted him. The skirmish was accompanied by Sheinin’s exclamations like “Are you provoking me?” and “I told you to sit.”
“We discussed the issue of removing the flag. I do not agree with the decision: the flag could have been left. But I think that the indignation and insults are somewhat feigned,” Bohm explained in an interview with Moscow Speaks. “I said on air that this could hardly be considered a deliberate provocation. He (Sheinin) said something like “we will give an answer.” I answered, ironically: “You are very brave, especially with your tongue.”
Later on Facebook, Michael wrote: “Shame on the First. Artem lost his head and control of himself and ran into me, using physical force.”
Sheinin, in an interview with Sobesednik, said: “Do I regret that I flared up? If I had flared up, I would have had something to regret, the outcome would have been different. I just outlined what might happen if I flare up. Michael was not ready for such a turn, and America is not ready if Russia suddenly, so to speak, flares up.”
A week later, the host of “Time Will Show” kicked Polish journalist Tomas Maciejczuk out of the studio. The justification is rudeness towards the leader of the international Anti-War movement, Victoria Shilova. In short: the girl said that Ukrainians are not against the Russian people, to which Matseychuk sarcastically asked why then in Ukraine there is not a massive uprising against the current government.
“They will kill,” Shilova explained. The Polish journalist objected that she was simply not doing anything. A heated argument ensued, as a result of which Sheinin took away the air time from the Pole.
