  • 12.06.2019

The charitable tandem of a traveler and a designer shows that doing good is easy!

On June 13, in one of the capital’s restaurants, the famous Ukrainian designer Andre Tan and TV presenter, author of the “The World Inside Out” project Dmitry Komarov presented a joint charity initiative.

First of all, we note that Dmitry Komarov has already for a long time oversees her project “A Cup of Coffee,” offering all caring people little by little, to the best of their ability, to help seriously ill children. The philosophy of the project is simple - it is not necessary to spend colossal amounts of money on charity; sometimes it is enough to give up buying coffee in the morning and use the saved money for the needs of others. And if everyone does this from time to time, then required amounts It will be easier to collect for treatment.

It was within the framework of the “Cup of Coffee” project that Andre Tan and Dmitry Komarov created an original soft toy in the form of a triangular globe.

Symbolic soft toy costs only 99 UAH

This symbolic gift will be sold in Andre Tan’s chain of stores “a.Tan by Andre Tan” for only 99 hryvnia, and all the money from the sales of the toy will be transferred to the treatment of children who are helped by the “Cup of Coffee” project.

“We have been creating toys for many years, the money from the sales of which goes to charity. They all have a triangular shape, and this time we also decided not to deviate from our concept, developing a triangular globe. A toy that projects the world inside out, breaking the mold, a non-standard approach to everything that surrounds us and brings to the surface what is so inconvenient to discuss and advertise,” commented Andre Tan on the jointly developed toy.

Andre and Dmitry said that they do not always advertise the fact that they have been involved in charity work for many years and try to help those who really need it. It was based on this experience that Dmitry Komarov’s project “Cup of Coffee” was created.

“Every day we receive dozens of letters asking for help, and it is very difficult to realize that, unfortunately, we cannot help everyone. Over the entire existence of the “Cup of Coffee” project, we have managed to collect about 25 million hryvnia and save more than one life. I’m happy that in our country there are so many caring people who realize that it’s enough to just give up something insignificant and save at least one life,” said Dima Komarov.

Dima's childhood, beginning of his career

The future star of the Ukrainian channel “1+1” and the Russian channel “Friday” was born in the sunny and hospitable city of Kyiv before the collapse of the USSR, in 1983. Modest and not at all public, Dima’s parents managed to create strong family and raise wonderful children. In addition to Dima, his father and mother also have twins, Nikolai and Angelina. Their parents with early childhood Dima remembers them as cheerful and sociable: there were always guests in the house, sincere parties were held with songs and interesting conversations. The boy was sent to a music school for piano class (a common thing in Soviet families at that time), where he studied for six years.

Interesting fact about brother and sister. Dmitry recalls that he really did not like being only child, and he persuaded his parents to “give” him a brother or sister. He was looking forward to the addition of his family with great excitement when his mother started going to the doctor, and it was already clear that someone would be born soon. A boy - this was the result of an early ultrasound, but... after his brother, a sister was born!

When the parents were away, the older brother was entrusted with looking after the naughty twins. Dmitry loves his brother and sister very much, they have also achieved success in life. Brother Nikolay is engaged in computer games (development of 2D games on Unity engine), sister is a hairdresser-stylist.


Happy childhood of Dima..

At the age of 12, he already tried himself in the field of journalism, writing articles for the school newspaper. The management of the Ukrainian weekly Telenedelya was incredibly surprised when Dmitry, as a 17-year-old boy, came to the editorial office and seriously proposed his candidacy for the staff of correspondents. According to the law, at this age it was impossible to be hired; it was required written agreement on this parents. They gave it without objection: is it bad that the son already wants to earn money himself?

There was also parallel collaboration with the publications EGO and Playboy. “What does travel have to do with the latest magazine?” – readers of numerous biographies of Dmitry think in surprise, where this fact is always indicated. Not everyone knows that in addition to the “frank” section, Playboy also has a travel section, which is where Dima wrote articles, and, according to him, the pay was very good.

This was after two universities. Two - because at first Dima Komarov entered the Kiev National Technical University as an engineer. Why did he go there - even his parents were incredibly surprised, because everything pointed to the young man’s creative nature and the fact that he would be a correspondent. After graduating from the transport university, Dmitry goes to get a second higher education already to my liking - to the University of Culture and Arts.

Then - successful work V " Komsomolskaya Pravda“, for six whole years he was there as a specialist. correspondent. At the same time, Dima worked for several years at the publication Izvestia in Ukraine (since 2007).

He began traveling the world and taking interesting photographs of picturesque places on the planet while still a student. Dmitry immediately decided to move away from standard “clichés” in his travels: big cities, he photographed the capitals of countries, of course, but he was more interested in small villages, remote places with unusual, mysterious stories. He made his first trips completely alone, believing that loneliness is the main “engine” in the naturalness of the information that a nature photographer receives; it helps to collect “pure” facts about the exotic tribes with which contact is planned.

In 2005, viewers were offered the first reportage-exhibition about Africa (it included photographs taken in Tanzania and Kenya). Then Dmitry made an exhibition about Nepal. The next series of photos was dedicated to India (it was published under the title “Indosutra”). During his trip to India, Komarov won two records at once: he was the first foreign correspondent allowed to be cremated on the banks of the Ganges River, and the figures “20 thousand km in three months” were included in the Ukrainian Book of Records.


The photo reports were a great success, but the two-dimensionality of the photographs was not enough for their author. The photo, according to Dima, could not fully convey the beauty and originality of the exoticism he witnessed.

Volume, play of colors, sounds - all this should be in a television program that will show the viewer not the standard “sleek” views of the Earth, but something new, shocking, so that it will take your breath away. With this thought in mind, Dmitry Komarov and his friend Dmitriev Alexander went to Cambodia with a film camera. It was not possible to find a sponsor for this dangerous journey, and the friends decided to make a report with their own money.

Creation of the “The World Inside Out” program and its resounding success

A trial episode, the so-called “pilot,” was offered to the Ukrainian channel “1+1” and aired in December 2010. The success exceeded all expectations: a fascinating report about the culture of Cambodia, facts about mysterious rites, the presenter himself, who presents information in an original way - all this convinced the channel’s editors that the program was a real find. Footage of local residents eating poisonous spiders, filming of the country's brothels, a story about a tribe of cannibals - this is what shocked viewers saw in the first episode of "The World Inside Out", and of course, they began to write, call, and ask: when will the next program air, where will the fearless leader go further?


Vietnam, Indonesia, India, several African countries - this is an incomplete list of places where Dmitry filmed his program. By 2016, together with cameraman Dmitriev, he had processed so much material that this allowed him to receive another nomination in the Ukrainian Book of Records. It is called “the maximum number of tourism programs filmed by a minimum film crew.”

In any country Dima tries to find unusual and interesting information. In Mexico, he visited Hemingway's house, where the writer created his most famous works. Dmitry conquered Everest (2016), risking his life and reaching the very high point planets. In Nepal, he visited the epicenter of an earthquake (magnitude 5.5) and filmed what was happening.

The journey through the kingdom of Mustang was remembered by viewers of “The World Inside Out” because the host of their favorite program almost died: some higher power protected him from death. They had to get to the city of Jompson by plane, and there Dmitry met a mysterious hermit (by the way, his fellow countryman!), who dissuaded him from flying by air. Dmitry doubted whether it was worth taking a car: the road is very dangerous, and besides, the cost of renting a car is several times more than plane tickets. Still, we went in a jeep, miraculously survived the collapse, and when we got to Mustang, we found out that the plane we were supposed to fly on had crashed!

The “trick” of a journalist is to meet New Year not in a hotel room or even in a tent, but in unusual place Outdoors. While traveling in Kenya, Dima was on January 1... in a distant tribe of cannibals: “I’m still in shock, how did they not eat us?” In Bolivia, on the night from December 31 to January 1, he put on “crampons” (special alpine equipment on his legs) and alone began to climb Mount Huayna Potosi, where he celebrated the New Year with a Ukrainian flag in his hands at an altitude of 6 thousand meters.


The year 2017 passed for Dmitry under the sign of Japan. He was admitted to secret world sumo fighters, communicated with representatives of the yakuza (due to a slightly unfortunate comment he was almost killed, but came out brilliantly dangerous situation). Dima climbed the “suicide rock” in this country and tried to uncover the secret of the high suicide rate in Japan. While climbing, he met a woman named Yayo and talked her out of committing suicide. “I then descended and thought that this was not just an ascent, but a mission whose purpose was the price of human life.”

Dmitry Komarov and social networks, his charitable activities

The journalist is an active user of social pages: photographs and travel clips are very popular among his fans in RuNet and abroad. Everyone: viewers of the program, visitors to Instagram, VK, Facebook, the management of “1+1” and “Fridays” - have long been convinced that not only exclusive information is the key to the success of “The World Inside Out”. He himself is an incredibly interesting person, charming and open, with an amazingly kind smile. In the most difficult situation he “keeps his mark” and maintains composure, with humor he describes moments that at first glance are not funny at all.


Dmitry Komarov and Nadya Dorofeeva managed to collect cash for an operation for four-year-old Stas.

Under the tag “cup of coffee,” Dmitry runs a charity program, the proceeds of which go to seriously ill children. The essence of the program: people are encouraged to donate a purely symbolic amount to a fund to help children who need complex, expensive surgery. “Give up one cup of coffee, one pack of cigarettes, put one liter of gasoline in your car tank less, don’t drink a bottle of soda. You won’t even feel that you have less money, but for some this is life! Let's prove that people can perform miracles, and a cup of coffee can stop death!” - this is how Dima calls on people to do good.

There is no shame or conscience among the scammers, who even here do not hesitate to get rich: Dima’s Instagram and Facebook pages have been hacked countless times, trying to gain access to the accounts where donations are received. Dmitry's team on social media networks (his most active assistants are Nadya Dorofeeva and Alena Semenit) constantly warns those who want to help children not to “be fooled” by hacked or fake pages, and not to give a “cup of coffee” to deceivers.

In October 2017, Dima Komarov amazed everyone with another noble deed. He participated in the Ukrainian project “Dancing with the Stars” and at the final stage, together with his partner Alexandra Kucherenko, made a joint decision to leave the program, losing leadership to the duet “Yuri Tkach - Ilona Gvozdeva”. The couple donated all the funds that were collected from SMS messages sent to the address “Komarov – Kucherenko” to the fund for sick children. It was rumored that Dima got involved with this girl during the filming of the program romantic relationship, but both participants in the show ignored the rumors.

Personal life and latest news

The alleged affair with the brilliant Sasha Kucherenko is most likely not a fact, but the reaction of Dima’s fans to his absolute “ignor” when questions about his personal life are asked. Open to the whole world, able to find mutual language with shamans, cannibals and yakuza, it is completely closed to everyone in terms of personal details. “What is this, a game for the public, a desire to “warm up” popularity with a secret?” - some envious people grumble. Does he really need to artificially increase his rating? He's just modest, doesn't like to show off his personal details, and probably hasn't met his true partner yet. true love, since there is still no wife and children.

Some literal bits of information about the “matters of the heart” of the star of an extreme TV show sometimes leak into the press, though without names. Allegedly, he is so attractive and sincere that in almost every country he has a fleeting romance. Dima himself does not deny the fact that he fell in love with foreign women several times, but his chosen one for the “post” of his wife will only be a Ukrainian. “Lent” - because it is not only joy to live with such wonderful person, but also difficult work: enduring constant absences, watching with bated breath as her husband climbs a high cliff or talks with savages.

About his statements about the fact that the “best” girls in the world are Ukrainian, the media also criticized him many times. Dima explains his sympathy for his fellow countrymen without being “linked” to national question. I, he says, can find a common language and live for a long time with a girl who was raised in the same environment as me. Same upbringing, similar children's and teenage company, university home country, the same films watched and even cartoons - all this forms a similar mindset that Dmitry’s future chosen one should have. “When I meet someone with whom we are on the same wavelength, then I’ll start thinking about family,” he invariably says. And when they ask him if he even has a permanent girlfriend, he smiles and answers: “Happiness loves silence.”

In 2018, Dima Komarov continues to work fruitfully and shoot new reports. But this is not the limit of his creativity: he is currently writing a book; its preliminary announcement was released at the beginning of the year. According to him, the book will be a symbiosis of advice from an extreme traveler; it will include rare recipes from exotic countries that are not included in social media photo, even detailed maps the places he visited. Dima dreams of this book becoming an alternative geography textbook for schoolchildren.

  • His grandparents lived in Nalchik, his grandfather headed the anti-hail and anti-avalanche services of the region. Is it not by inheritance at the genetic level that he is drawn to dangerous places?
  • He trusts his hair only to his sister Angelina - he gets his hair cut exclusively in her salon.
  • Dmitry spent a lot of time in the Elbrus region as a child, and as an adult he came there to practice free-riding (descent from the mountains not on ski tracks, but on clean snow).
  • Even before the Ukrainian “Dancing with the Stars,” he tried himself as a dancer, starring in a video in Japan with a famous pop group.
  • The ideal vacation, he says, is a ride on a four-wheeled chopper. Explaining this strange choice, Dima quotes experienced motorcyclists: “Four wheels carry your soul, but two only carry your body.”
  • He is so charming and irresistible that even native women cannot resist his masculine attractiveness. In New Guinea, a Papuan woman persistently rubbed against his shoulder, suggesting that he “take a walk in the forest.” The translator also said that the girl asked to convey to the “white deity”: she agrees to marry him.
  • It is quite possible that one of the journalist’s upcoming reports will be about his native Ukraine: “In Ukraine, too, there are places where you can greatly surprise both yourself and the viewer.”
  • Dima travels strictly alone with the operator, but there is one more person to whom Komarov has expressed public gratitude many times for his help in creating the program. This is a “voice-over”, director-editor Vitaly Naryshkin.
  • Continuing to raise funds under the “cup of coffee” tag, the journalist is seriously thinking about creating his own charitable foundation.

Childhood

By today's standards, Dmitry has grown large family. He has a brother Nikolai and a sister Angelina, and he is the eldest. The biography of Dmitry Komarov began in Kyiv (1983). Despite the crisis of the nineties, the family was friendly, and the childhood was happy, and this is entirely the merit of the parents, Dmitry is sure. His parents got married late by Soviet standards. The groom was well over thirty, and the bride was 27. In addition, they were actively “searching for themselves” and tried many professions.

My father was interested in photography in his youth. Perhaps this influenced Dmitry’s hobby; at twelve he was already taking high-quality photographs, which eventually led him to journalism. The love of travel also arose thanks to my father, or rather, his stories about his travels and hikes in the mountains. Dmitry is sure that thanks to his intense youth, his parents were able to create happy family, having come to this consciously in adulthood.

In one of the interviews, the journalist said that in his free time he travels around the country with his “young ones.” He also enjoys family gatherings around the fire at the dacha. My sister works as a stylist in a prestigious beauty salon, my brother creates computer games. Dmitry jokes that he became a “dad” at the age of six, when twins were born, which made him more responsible and mature than his peers. At first it was difficult, since his parents worked and his grandmothers were not there, upbringing fell on his shoulders. But when the twins grew up, the whole trio became best friends.

Career development

Many people are interested not only last news about Dmitry Komarov, but also his past. Komarov’s passion for journalism manifested itself early; he collaborated with the press at the age of twelve, and at seventeen he was already employed at Telenedel. However, post-secondary education had nothing to do with journalism (National Transport University). He combined his studies with work, collaborating with several publications, including gloss (EGO, Playboy).

Then there was the experience of a special correspondent in Komsomolskaya Pravda and Izvestia in Ukraine. By the third year of study, he decided that he was still not ready to say goodbye to journalism, so he entered the University of Culture and Arts.

As a journalist and photographer, he collaborated with dozens of print publications, while still managing to travel. He was always interested in unconventional, unpopular, unexplored places where there are no crowds of tourists, but where there is originality local residents and local color. He traveled alone, which, according to him, allowed him to better understand an unfamiliar country and completely immerse himself in new experiences. During his trips, he took a lot of photographs, which later resulted in several photo exhibitions.

One day he realized that publications and photo reports could not convey the volume of what he saw, which prompted him to take amateur photography. Later, the idea came to broadcast an entertaining and educational format, where there would be not already boring “traditional” tourist places, but an exclusive “without cuts”, not a glossy presentation of hard-to-reach places, people living there, animals, interesting customs and features. By the time the program “The World Inside Out” appeared, Dmitry had visited twenty countries. According to the presenter, since the beginning of his author’s project, he has never been on vacation. At the end of 2010, the first episode was released on one of the Ukrainian channels. The debut season became popular, and the bet on non-standardity turned out to be successful. This made Dmitry Komarov career ladder swift. Over five years, more than a hundred issues were published, which became a local record.

The world inside out

Previously, Komarov traveled with a camera and a voice recorder. And this was enough for reports and photo exhibitions, but the desire to convey the three-dimensionality of what he saw, and not just freeze the moment, he began to shoot amateur videos, which he also published periodically. Then he clearly decided for himself that he wanted to create a program. He developed detailed plan, concerning its various aspects, theoretical preparation was carried out until the sponsors became interested.

After this, funds were found for the first trip, intended specifically for “The World Inside Out,” and a pilot episode was made, which the audience saw. This was the first television experience. The cost of the trips can be called modest, since the group does not live in expensive hotels. Most of expenses include flights, transportation, payment for guides, various “thank yous” for filming (especially in Africa).

Few people are involved in the project. In addition to Dmitry and the cameraman, there are two editing directors, one editor, and one or more local guides are connected at the destination. Harmonious combination music and plots rest on the shoulders of the chief editing director, sometimes after a joint critical viewing something changes. Most of the music used is licensed, the rest is pure exclusive, brought from expeditions. Its authors do not gather large venues, but their unique music is talented and therefore valuable.

A small team has its disadvantages, but there are more advantages, Dmitry believes. This is an opportunity to show life “as it is” unnoticed, which is impossible if this is done by a film crew, to which in one way or another others pay attention, which changes their behavior towards less naturalness. This is mobility when you can get into real jungles or dangerous areas. Two guys with cameras and a guide are perceived completely differently.

The distribution of roles is such that the main responsibility for filming lies on the shoulders of the operator (Sasha Dmitriev), and Dmitry decides organizational and administrative issues. You have to take with you the necessary things, the quantity of which is hard to call a minimum. This is dictated by the task of going through the country from beginning to end, often requiring special equipment.

The decision to shoot with cameras is a deliberate one, and although this has its own difficulties, especially with regard to dynamics, there are other advantages that do not relate to shooting. For example, for legality in some countries you will have to pay a lot of money (sometimes it’s two hundred dollars per day, and filming takes two months). Another disadvantage of legal filming is the mandatory accompaniment of a representative of official structures, who monitors that what cannot be shown is not filmed. Each trip brings a lot of photos, they can be seen in reports and at photo exhibitions that will be held in the future.

Before any trip, Dmitry studies all possible sources of information about the places where he is going. This is how two lists arise, one of which includes where to go, and the other, on the contrary, and outlines of what needs to be talked about. If these are tourist places, then they are shown from an angle that is unusual for the viewer, and a lot of things appear impromptu. At least half of the unplanned subjects are already located directly in the country.

Communication with guides, of which there can be dozens, allows you to adjust the initial route on the spot and find topics about which information is not widely available. From one trip, approximately three hundred hours of video material are brought back. Filming duration per day can reach two dozen hours per day. In hot countries you have to get up early, at about five in the morning, and from ten on it’s already difficult to be outside, a forced break is taken until four o’clock in the evening, and from this time the shooting gives a brighter picture.

Before the project appeared on television, Dmitry had a lot of experience and already knew exactly which country was worth returning to. Today's programs are often produced based on past developments and conclusions. He is interested in “following his own footsteps,” and even visiting the heroes of past stories again. Half of the topics on India and Africa were researched while working as a special correspondent. The author and presenter of the program are interested in its ratings. He periodically orders details to know what the viewer liked more and what prompted him to stop watching.

Of all that was in the programs, the audience was especially impressed by the tribes. According to Dmitry, it was so dangerous to stay in some of them that even local guides refused, leaving travelers alone with an unfamiliar hostile reality. But since much depends on the person himself, on his perception of people, the ability to find a common language with anyone, the team always “came out unscathed.”

Komarov believes that constant travel trains intuition, which accurately suggests where you can work and where it is better not to interfere. Vietnamese ethnic settlements, unlike African countries, are much more modern, they know how to make money from tourists, but the team still found the most unspoiled place by civilization, where they almost got married, having also put forward a number of conditions.

Personal life

The journalist is still not married; children, accordingly, are only in the plans. And although there were novels in his life, rarely anyone is ready to put up with Dmitry’s excessive busyness. But he is not ready to give up his passion for exploring the downside of exotic countries and constant long trips. According to him, he is amorous, but he takes relationships seriously, and short affairs are not for him.

He has met many beautiful foreign women, but he is skeptical about marriage with them, because when the love subsides, the relationship is based on common interests, mutual understanding, and this is facilitated by a common mentality, similar values ​​absorbed from childhood. Even high level knowledge foreign language, communication with a foreigner will not be as deep as with a girl from her native country. Dmitry’s wife must be understanding of his lifestyle, the specifics of his work, and be able to wait a long time from expeditions.

Career

The creative biography of Dmitry Komarov began long before the airing of the first episode of the “The World Inside Out” program.

The world inside out

The TV program “The World Inside Out” is perhaps the brightest page in the biography and personal life of Dmitry Komarov.

The idea of ​​creating his own original television program came to Dmitry Komarov during his numerous trips around the world. He suddenly felt that the confines of printed publications had become too small for him.

How to convey the extraordinary, magic colors, volume and movement? How to make an exciting report about mystical, hard-to-reach corners of the planet, to fully talk about original culture, customs and rituals of various peoples? It was obvious that the television format was best suited for this.


“The World Inside Out” - India, 2011

The stumbling block for many creative endeavors is finding a source of funding. At first it was not possible to find him, and Dmitry Komarov and his faithful companion, cameraman Alexander Dmitriev, made the pilot episode about Cambodia with their own money.

The pilot episode of the program aired on the Ukrainian TV channel “1 + 1” in December 2010, and was a resounding success. The producers no longer had any doubts: Komarov had found a “gold mine”, a real TV hit.

In total, 9 seasons of the program “The World Inside Out” have been aired to date:

  • Cambodia, 2010
  • India, 2011
  • Africa, 2012
  • Vietnam, 2013
  • Indonesia, 2014
  • Latin America, Cuba, Mexico, 2015
  • Bolivia, 2015
  • Nepal, 2016
  • Japan, 2017

“The World Inside Out” - Nepal, 2016

Both viewers and television critics have long agreed that the undying popularity of this program rests on the personality of the presenter. Dmitry in the frame is kind, charming, open. His signature smile is his business card. He is incredibly sociable, he is able to find a common language and mutual understanding with anyone: from a cannibal to a priest of a forbidden temple.

The film crew of the program is only two people, Dmitry and a cameraman, and only in Kyiv an editor and a sound engineer are involved in the process.

In their travels, Dmitry and his cameraman sometimes really risk their lives. Dmitry was bitten poisonous snake, he bungee jumped into the abyss at the waterfall. The trip to Nepal became especially dangerous for Dmitry.

In the closed kingdom of Mustang, Dmitry and the cameraman first found themselves in the epicenter of an earthquake, then miraculously avoided boarding a plane that crashed in the mountains, and finally, trying to climb a mountain highest peak world of Chomolungmu, Dmitry overestimated his strength, suffered pulmonary edema and ended up in the hospital.


Dmitry Komarov

Perhaps one of the most fantastic and at the same time melodramatic was the journey to the world of the present future - Japan. Suicides are a real scourge of the country rising sun. Dmitry Komarov met a young woman Yayo near the “suicide rock”. The paradox was that outwardly twenty-seven-year-old Yayo had everything in order in her life: husband, children, well-paid job. But she felt constant bouts of depression. Spiritual emptiness led to the woman simply ceasing to see meaning in life.

Dmitry made Yayo an offer to climb Mount Fuji, sacred to all Japanese, together. He himself described his decision this way:

“Climbing Mount Fuji was my dream. But I could not even imagine that a chance meeting with Yayo would turn a dream into an important mission, the price of which would be human life. “I was going down the mountain and I thought that sometimes just talking to a person who is having a hard time at heart can save his life.”

Climbing Mount Fuji transformed Yayo internally; she realized how narrow and erroneous her views on our life were, and obsessive thoughts about suicide left her.

Dmitry showed such kindness and mercy in his programs more than once, providing real and sometimes financial assistance to people who found themselves in difficult situations.
