Before the appearance of Vremya, there was an acute shortage of news programs on domestic television.

The name “Time” took a long time to be chosen by the editorial board. It is unknown who insisted on it, but the program could be called, for example, “In the Lens.”

The very first issues were released without speakers. Correspondents passed the floor to each other live from the scene.

A couple of weeks after the launch of the program, it was decided to expand the format and introduce speakers. The first broadcast was conducted by Anna Shatilova and Evgeny Suslov. Back to the past Back to the past

“Usually, all editorial offices submitted applications to the announcer’s department within a week and indicated the name of the program and the announcer they wanted. I go to the board where our schedule is posted. And suddenly I see the “Time” program. I run into the next room to the dispatcher who compiled this schedule and ask: “What is it written? Suslov and I have a program called “Time”. And they answer me: “I don’t know. An application for you has arrived from the information editorial office."

In 1970, the “Time” program was first published in color.
“I remember the first color report, although there was nothing like that there. I photographed the exhibition of the Itinerants, which was in Tretyakov Gallery. And when I filmed the report, they developed the film, about forty people crammed into the editing room, although eight people could go there. Everyone looked, and everyone did not believe. The cameraman with whom I was filming was asked: “What’s it like? What is this? Zhora Akopyan, who was in charge of all technical support for us, had such pride on his face, because he was also involved in this.”

Why did the editors lick the film?

“Do you know what we did? In order to understand where on the film there is gloss and where there is matte, I’m only talking about “Svema”, we had to lick it. Well, you understand, the mat - it stuck, but the gloss did not. We realized that this was the glossy side, and glued it together. And I had a completely terrible incident. I was in a hurry, I was in a hurry, I didn’t look at something, in general, I glued it the other way around. We had a big TV, we all watched our stories. And suddenly on the air I see that my entire delegation, which arrived to celebrate some anniversary, is shaking hands with its left hand. I glued everything together wrong, it turned out to be a DSLR. Here you go, all of me were left-handed. I think it was a delegation from the GDR. And one more time I made a mistake, I also turned the film over, at the convention. Our Ilyich’s profile always looked from left to right, but mine looked the other way around. They didn’t fire me for this either, they scolded me and told me to be more careful.”

There are fewer hearts in Russia. And what a heavy burden for people who were simply Vitya and simply Gosha, simply Slava - in recent days. Oh, Sailors of rocket launch sites! You left us your charter: even in space, without flinching, die at work.
