Yevgeniy Yuriyevich Dodolyev (also spelled "Yevgeny" or "Eugueni"; Russian: Евге́ний Ю́рьевич До́долев, born 11 June 1957) is a Soviet and Russian journalist and publisher.

Career

TV years

Evgeny first appeared on Soviet television in late 1980s as one of the hosts of a highly progressive and successful Vzglyad (which literally translates as The View or The Look), a kind of satirical television show watched weekly by as many as 100 million people.[1] The other anchors were Artyom Borovik, Vladislav Listyev, Alexander Lyubimov, Alexander Politkovsky and Dmitry Zaharov. According to The New York Times in a 1989 interview Dodolev spoke openly about Soviet propaganda:[1][2]

The words had little apparent effect. Within hours the Soviets shut down a liberal television program and sharply restricted the nation's only independent news agency. "We're seeing a coup. But in a country as big as ours it doesn't take just an hour, like in Haiti," said Yevgeny Dodolev, host of the banned "Vzglyad" TV show. If the generals have their way, the next step could be to declare martial law in Lithuania, disband its legislature, disperse the crowds around Parliament and do the same in other breakaway republics. All while the world looks elsewhere.

In 1991 his colleagues founded a TV company VID (VID actually stands for Vzglyad I Drugiye which literally translates as The View and the Others).

Following the success of Vzglyad TV show, in 1992, Dodolev founded the Vzgljad weekly newspaper (later renamed as Novy Vzglyad) to promote the show with the same name.

Methods

Dodolev has a tough reputation:[10]

Olga Romanova and Andrei Gordeyev will be fired from their posts of editor-in-chief and editor of the magazine BusinessWeek Russia for having “insufficient qualifications”, Kommersant has reported. Yevgeny Dodolev, publishing director of the business publications group of the Rodionov Publishing House, finds that Romanova and Gordeyev, who have worked for the magazine for less than six months, have violated the business format of the magazine. “Olga Romanova is making some other magazine, but not BusinessWeek. It is good, and I like it, but it’s a general interest magazine. Such a magazine can be made, if it is independent. But a licensed publication has its own laws – it needs to meet the franchise criteria”, Kommersant quoted Dodolev as saying. Dodolev has made this decision independently, Kommersant has reported. BusinessWeek editor Rose Brady said this decision was not made by BusinessWeek. BusinessWeek Russia journalists believe that the conflict between the publisher and the editor-in-chief began after Romanova “refused to publish ordered materials in the magazine”.

He is author of few Russian neologisms, some of them (such as Las Ночные бабочки o mujeres de la noche en Rusia) used in other languages without any translation.[11]

Books

Dodolev published several books,[12][13][14][15] including The Pyramid. The Soviet Mafia (LCCN: 91220622),[16] about the Soviet corruption.[17] He also helped his father Juri Dodolev and his uncle Mikhail Dodolev[18] in writing fiction and historical novels,[19][20] including The Congress of Vienna in the 19th and 20th centuries (ISBN 5201005365).[21]
