TV presenter Angelina Vovk and Vladimir Berezin
And the path to fame began in Sverdlovsk, where the Oryol announcer appeared thanks to the future President of Russia Boris Yeltsin in the early 1980s. There, over 10 years, Berezin built a brilliant career on television, becoming a recognizable face in every Ural home. However, the man decided not to stop there and challenged himself by moving to Moscow in the early 1990s.
What is the artist doing now?
Now Vladimir Aleksandrovich Berezin is a well-known actor, television journalist, and radio host. Holds official and concert events in the Kremlin, as well as a considerable number of festivals, performances, television broadcasts and show programs. For Vladimir Alexandrovich Berezin, 2020 was an eventful year. The popular correspondent and TV presenter celebrated his 60th birthday. And in the same year he celebrated the 40th anniversary of his creative career. In honor of this, Berezin was invited as a participant in the “Let Them Talk” program.
On Dmitry Borisov’s show, the artist spoke about his personal life. The house where Vladimir Berezin’s family lives was demonstrated. Nikolai Baskov was invited to the program, who spoke about his friendship with Vladimir Berezin. Nikolai said that it was this presenter who dubbed him “the golden voice of Russia.” Singer Valeria also spoke about the important role Berezin, the host of the “Jurmala-87” program, played in her life:
He declared me as if he blessed me.
Russian TV announcer Vladimir Berezin: Belarusians are more humane than us. And happier...
In the 90s, he was the number one announcer on the silver screen. Now Vladimir Berezin is the constant host of concerts in the Kremlin and the Slavic Bazaar festival. The People's Artist told the Union Veche about why TV turned into a market square, why Andrei Malakhov left Channel One and why the villages of Sineokoi are so good.
ALMOST CROSSED THE PAIN THRESHOLD
A well-trained voice, impeccable diction, a white-toothed smile, well-fitting suits. Berezin hosted the programs “Time”, “Morning”, “Good night, kids!”, “Song of the Year”. At sixty, he is in great shape and is not resting on his laurels.
— Vladimir, you have worked so much on television. Probably, you are so tired of all this that you don’t even have a TV at home?
- It’s in every room. And even in the bathroom. But I hardly watch them, because the quality of the programs has changed, and nothing has ceased to surprise me. Classic television raised me and the generation in the country as a whole. It belonged to the category “genre of culture and art.” It informed, enlightened, entertained and pacified, that is, it brought order to the head and soul.
— By what principles does modern television live?
- It is a commercial item, where advertising comes first. Television is also no longer a source of information. I pressed the button on my smartphone and here’s the news. Television exists only thanks to representatives of the middle and older generations. They believe him. While it more often than not creates, but destroys. Thanks to television, grief has become too publicized. And people don't cry anymore. They almost crossed the pain threshold. They became hardened, stopped being sentimental and open.
I live half my life in France, and sometimes I feel offended by the fact that there in relations between people there is something that we lived before, but here you can’t find it in the daytime. For example, my daughter and I are walking along the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. We breathe air. And everyone who comes across, English or French, greets first. Even if they are riding a bicycle, they shout from afar: “Bonjour!” Here, you say hello to someone in the park and hear: “What do you need?”
True, there are still places where everything is different. There are many of them in Belarus. I come to host the “Slavic Bazaar” in Vitebsk, walk down the street and say hello to everyone. Even holding hands with someone. And people are happy.
“I SING AS I CAN, I DANCE AS I WANT”
— Do you think the mentality of Belarusians is special in this regard?
— Our brothers are Slavic Europeans
. And in this sense, I want to be like them and pacify my father’s hot Caucasian temperament. Belarusians even differ in their way of expressing emotions - restrained, noble.
And the structure of speech. If for Russians or Ukrainians it ends with a high interrogative or often outrageous-irritating note, then for a Belarusian it ends with a calmly interrogative, pacifying note. They are also surprisingly modest. And I like their hospitality, so restrainedly warm, always the same degree. I love driving through the villages of the republic. Everything there is clean and well maintained.
— Do you visit often?
— Every year for the last 26 years. I went to the Slavic Bazaar last July. Like everyone else, I love potato pancakes, lard, and also (just don’t tell anyone!) moonshine. And I constantly bring flax from Belarus. It is gentle, soft and cozy. All my bedding is like this. And, of course, clothes from local designers. There is nothing like it anywhere in the world.
— Under what conditions would you return to television?
— If they offer you an interesting project. Complex, important, modern and at the same time corresponding to the classical genres of art. I would conduct the program on behalf of my generation and for my generation, largely underestimated, which raised our children, even with the help of Bush's legs.
Only art can be interesting. Everything else is amateur performances: I sing as best I can, dance as I want, speak as God puts in my soul.
The great Valentina Leontyeva, who hosted the program “With all my heart,” said: “I am married to television.” So it is for me: TV is not a studio or a box, but a state of mind, full combat readiness and you are always in the given circumstances.
"Why did he leave? A million versions"
— Returning to television. Has the level of presenters become lower than in Soviet times?
— For me, there are no bright discoveries among them lately. If you don’t know how to think, speak, feel comfortable in front of a camera, you have no right to work on the main channels of the country. I travel a lot around the province, conduct seminars and am happy to note how many strong representatives of my profession there are outside the Moscow Ring Road.
— About presenters on federal channels. Is Andrei Malakhov faded?
— I meant the classical genre. Not a talk show. When I come to my venerable aunt in Sergiev Posad, I sit down next to her and turn on the TV, I see that she doesn’t understand anything at all! Do you know why? The tempo of the material is such that even my ear can’t keep up with it. It is clear that hundreds of arguments will be given to me why this is so, and the main one will be the news that the rhythm of life has changed. And I won’t be able to prove to them that the style of ballet has also changed, but no one says that you only need to do modern choreography and throw your body around the stage.
Andrey in “Let Them Talk” worked in the talk show genre, and this, excuse me, is a Brazilian or American, well, maybe a little more Italian television model. There is movement and movement, shouting, no one listens to anyone, and everyone is three hundred percent sure that they are right.
Andrey is a wonderful showman. Easier than others. He works with background, facial expressions, gestures, and movement. Often takes the side of one or the other.
— Why did he leave Channel One after all?
— As a television veteran, I am still surprised by such a strange division into competing channels - read, enemies. When I worked at VGTRK, I could never appear on Channel One. It was necessary to go through so many approvals! But for some reason, few people think about the fact that TV channels broadcast to one viewer, and he himself chooses what to watch. And in theory they should not compete. They need to complement each other and motivate each other to be more interesting. There are a million versions about Andrey. I like the creative growth option the most. On “First” he was simply the presenter. Popular, respected, loved, but did not participate in the process as a producer.
— Is Dmitry Borisov a worthy replacement?
— He came from a completely different genre. And then suddenly he went into outer space. Of course, we are used to Andrey. You just need to reconfigure. The classics also said that everything in a person is a habit. It will work and work and the host of “Let Them Talk” Dmitry Borisov will be there.
