I've been searching to what I should comment. I've tried to find an interesting holiday or a person. When I've seen Levitan's birthday I deicide to make a comment, because he is a person who was the symbol of Russian journalism in The Great Patriotic War for me.
ReplyDeleteYuri Levitan was a man of great talent to report in a short time about a whole picture of an event. With his reports people could avoid death to go to bomb shelters to save their lives. He is famous for his phrase "Attention, Moscow is speaking" from which whole reports have started. His voice was instantly recognizable by the Soviet public. They couldn't imagine their live without it. Levitan was a "Stalin of Radio" for people.
