About Andrey...

Big TV2 family. Today is a great sorrow for all of us. We believed until the very end that he would pull through. Today Andrei came to his senses for the first time in a week and when they told him how we were all going through, he tried to smile. And suddenly... We are not talking about those who worked at TV2 in the past tense. No matter how fate scatters us, we are together. About Andrey. As we all know him.

Melanie Bachina - presenter and journalist of the TV2 program “Rush Hour”:

“What would you do without Andryusha,” my mother told me when Andrey replaced me on air, never refused to help... My mother adored him. Everyone adored him. People like him are rare. Smart, decent, intelligent, honest. “Our intellectual” - we called him behind his back.

What will we all do now without Andryusha... There is no strength to believe that he left us...

We worked together shoulder to shoulder for over ten years. In all these years, he has never failed, no one has ever heard a bad word from him. A rare breed of man. Rare decency. He was the face of TV2. It would be impossible to imagine a television company without him. Until the end, Andrei remained faithful to his profession. After the closure of TV2, I could not work on camera anywhere else. It is impossible to believe that Andrei is gone. Most of the life of Tomsk went with him. He was also the face of Tomsk. That smart, intelligent city that we love and remember. Andrey will forever remain in our hearts. Eternal memory to him.

Yulia Muchnik is the host of the program “Rush Hour. Saturday" TV2:

- Andrey for me is the essence, voice, face, intonation of not only TV-2, but all the best that was and remains in my hometown... Over many, many years of working together, I have never seen Andrey allow himself to lose his temper, committed even the slightest tactlessness towards anyone. He was impeccably intelligent and decent. They almost don’t make things like this anymore... A fading nature. I can’t imagine all of us and Tomsk without him....

Arkady Mayofis - President of the TV2 television company:

- What an unbearable loss! Tomsk and we, the TEV team, are lucky to have you!
Goodbye, Andrey!

Viktor Muchnik - editor-in-chief of TV2:

- It hurts a lot. All week we hoped for a miracle. It didn't happen.

Always, when journalists had doubts about how to correctly say a word, a date, or a name, they immediately turned to Andrey. They knew he would tell you what was right. Educated, impeccably intelligent, very gentle. Perhaps too intelligent for the profession of information presenter. How he suffered when he had to talk harshly with a studio guest, ask an awkward question! After all, he is a guest...

At the beginning of the 2000s, Andrei left for Moscow. But things didn’t work out for him there. It was necessary to jostle elbows in the capital. And even at that time, boys and girls with empty eyes sat on the air. And he was too complex and intelligent for today’s federal TV.

Returned to Tomsk. I sat down again at Rush Hour. And he led him until the last day of the program’s existence. There was sad justice in the fact that he also hosted the last broadcast of TV2 together with Melanie Bachina. Who else? And he did it professionally as always. I remember how interesting and, paradoxically, fun it was to work with him that day.

I know that he had suggestions for management after. I didn't want to.

The most popular presenter, a person whom everyone recognized, he never for a second lost his sense of self-irony. It’s very difficult for everyone who worked at TV2 today.

Natalya Pelykh - TV-2 presenter:

- At the time of our acquaintance, Andryukha was a legend, then a Muscovite, he works at the federal radio, the whole country knows his voice, he is an impressive handsome man, he speaks unusually, he keeps a pause, in short, he fainted and his mother))) And I don’t know anyone in that Moscow, but I was given the task of recording an interview with a famous person, I’m going to Andrey. Lights, camera, in my shaking hands questions to the celebrity, and... Andrey begins to read poetry - TO ME... POEMS... He's mocking me, I thought. And he took my hand and continued until I relaxed, until my soul felt warm, this warmth always remained with me from communicating with him. And then we continued as if we had known each other for three thousand years.

How are we without you, Andryushka... You are from a rare breed of incredibly kind, incredibly charming and incredibly beautiful people, people with a beautiful soul. Goodbye friend, thank you for being in my life...

Elena Izofatova - producer, presenter and journalist of TV-2:

“During this week, Murashov taught me to pray. For a long time, until you lose strength... When it is impossible to help with deeds and impossible to do nothing. When you sit in front of candles and list to God everything you know about a person. And you ask and ask for mercy... Andrei was like only he was. Attentive eyes, deep voice, cheerful disposition and a very restless conscience. Living according to conscience and enjoying life was his way. He went through it charmingly and at the same time tactfully, never imposing anything on others, ..well, except perhaps for correct Russian speech..

Tatyana Agashkina - presenter and journalist of the TV2 program “Rush Hour”:

- It’s very difficult to write, we lost a very close and bright person.... I still don’t believe that Andrei, who so loves this life in its most varied manifestations, is no longer around. We haven’t seen each other for the last couple of years, but literally every morning, I saw his likes, comments, his posts on social networks, and mentally we were still close and thus conveyed greetings to each other. A man who for many years was a mega public person, in life, for me personally, he was completely different... Quiet, vulnerable, not at all a party person... and a little lonely.....Andrey is the face and voice of Tomsk, perhaps therefore, he could not live in the noisy capital, although he could have made an interesting career here. TV2 gave me a true friend, with whom it is always comfortable and interesting. Live broadcasting is not for the weak, but with Andrey it was always calm and homely... We all believed and hoped that he would not be able to abandon his friends and loved ones like that. In the morning there was hope for an hour, and then everything ended abruptly. There is emptiness inside and only bright memory and sadness.…

Nikolai Voronin - TV2 journalist:

— I met Andrey in the summer of 1998, during a journalistic junior shift at the Solar Republic camp. Well, how I “met” - I was still a schoolboy, a year before graduation, and was just about to enter the journalism department, and Andrei came as a guest star, giving a master class to beginners like me.

We looked at him with our mouths open. A real person from TV! Then, 20 years ago, Andryukha was already the most famous and without a doubt the most popular TV presenter in the city. And at the same time, there was not one iota of “star sickness” in him - he communicated with us as equals, and this completely blew the roof away. Working with him on the same team was the ultimate dream. And I was lucky to be one of those for whom this dream turned into reality.

Andrei was undoubtedly one of the most sensitive and intelligent people I have ever met. Both at work and in life. In general, he was a very harmonious, sensitive and very easy to communicate person. Always ready to be the first to help - and at the same time incredibly positive. It was impossible to be sad around him - he literally infected you with his optimism, the belief that in the end everything would definitely be fine. And if it’s not so good yet, it means it’s not the end yet.

Every evening he wished Tomsk: “May everything work out well for you!” - and somehow I immediately believed that this would be the case.

Goodbye, Andrey. Tomsk will miss you very much. And even more so for us TV2 people...

Oksana Tuganova - head of the development department of the TV2 television company:

- Talented, handsome, charming. He quickly ran into the pavilion. Energy in every step. Our office was opposite and a minute before the broadcast we heard Andrei reading aloud parts of the evening news. You involuntarily listen and look up from your work. No matter what happened there in the city, after his voice it was warm and calm, there was a feeling that everything would certainly be fine. And this is the signature: “May everything work out for you!” and everything worked out for many thousands of Tomsk residents every evening for many years in a row. Thank you, Andrey!

Alexandra Astafieva - TV2 journalist:

- Take care of yourself... So you, good friend, said goodbye to your beloved city after each broadcast... I don’t believe it, I just can’t, that now we are all saying goodbye to you.

Nadezhda Dreval - TV2 journalist:

“I was always surprised that despite his enormous erudition, despite the fact that Andrei was the main face of Tomsk television, there was never a drop of arrogance or indifference in him. He was always ready to help, give advice, was attentive and responsive.

What a pleasure it was to listen to him! This magical voice and beautiful Russian language!

Outside the editorial office, he remained an intelligent, inquisitive, creative person. My beloved Tomsk lives precisely in his photographs, although for Andrey these were just posts on Instagram. He knew how to see and convey beauty. He had a kind and beautiful soul. It's impossible to believe what happened. It can never be replaced.

Inna Salnikova - director of the Troika TV2 advertising agency:

— Andrey and I are colleagues. We have always worked at the TV2 television company, and despite the fact that our field of activity was different, nevertheless, year after year, day after day, we met in our television company and were familiar and friendly to each other. Andrey, his deep voice, his correct speech, his education and intelligence, all this took place not only on the screen, at any meeting and for any, maybe even the most everyday topic. He is, of course, talented in his profession, it’s as if he was born specifically for the screen, he looked so harmonious on air.

...The soul doesn’t want to accept that Andrei, the person who still needed to live and live, has left. Which was interesting to the city, which was known, popular and loved.

I really appreciated his communication, I was always pleased to exchange any few words with him. I don’t understand why this happened, it’s offensive and very painful...

Maya Mikhel - manager of the Troika TV2 advertising agency:

“I don’t want to believe it... Andrei is very bright, always with a soft smile, always a friendly look... And how he knew how to listen! I never judged anyone or spoke ill of anyone. It was always interesting to be with him. The words sound somewhat official, but I want to say a lot, but everything seems banal... He is no longer with us - and it is so painful, so unfair that no words can describe it.

Only now I realized how many people have been worrying for the last seven days, praying, holding their fingers crossed, believing in a miracle and simply looking forward to the news. Not only in Tomsk, and not even only in Russia, but all over the world, all over the world! This says a lot, but most of all it says that we sincerely loved him.

Let where you are now be easy and calm....

Olga Dubrovskaya – TV2 journalist:

-Goodbye, Andrey! In the last days, when Andrei was already in the hospital, I re-read our correspondence with him. Humor and tenderness, hidden in cynical and rude jokes, and... unconditional love. In every word!

He was bored. He wrote and sent some memes he found on the Internet. And we... We rushed to meet him almost every time we visited Tomsk. Tomsk is my family. And this is Andrey... But we didn’t meet this summer. It seemed like there would be another opportunity, so what’s the big deal, see you next time...

We met when I was a very young journalist at Tomsk Vestnik. He talked about his collection of ties, but probably didn’t even remember me... Andrei Murashov was somehow legendary. Somehow fabulously journalistic-star. This is exactly what the juniors wanted to be when they entered journalism. Later, when we worked side by side at TV2, when we sat in the evenings literally just the two of us (I am the producer, he is the presenter) in the editorial office of Rush Hour and talked a lot, it became clear what kind of Andrey is a deep, vulnerable and lonely person, despite a million acquaintances.

He read a lot. He amazed me by subscribing to newspapers. Really, who subscribes to newspapers now?! I knew a lot about the history of my beloved city. Charm. Professionalism. Charisma... And voice. And intelligence. And the ability to absolutely masterfully use a couple of unintelligent words on occasion!

When TV2 was closed, it seemed the pain from this professional tragedy ate him up. He sincerely loved us all, was devoted to the team with all his heart, was passionate about the very idea of ​​TV2...

What is it for Tomsk? When we arrived from Krasnoyarsk to Tomsk, that is, “Rush Hour” was no longer on the air, and we found ourselves with him somewhere in a crowded place... For example, one day we went into a large store. He walked with a consultant between the rows. And by the faces of people, by the looks, by the way the faces of sellers and buyers lit up, how they smiled at him, one could immediately determine where Andrei was now. He was in a cloud of some kind of indescribable love from the whole city...

His voice, his smile, his “Take care of each other” and “May everything work out for you” at the end of each news release - all this is in our hearts... In the heart of Tomsk. In my heart...

Andrey Filimonov - producer, TV2 journalist:

— Andrey was bright and kind. In our terrible profession, he had his own unique role - Murashov. This always meant: graceful style, light humor and a charming smile. He was not offended by anyone, and he himself did not offend anyone, which is very rare in our profession. The whole city fell in love with Andrey from his very first appearance on the screen. Murashov, the host of Rush Hour, is a whole era in the history of Tomsk. An era that ended so sadly a few years ago. Unfortunately, Andrei survived his “Rush Hour” very briefly. Today he left... but I am sure that Andrei will live on not only in the memory of his friends, but also in the history of his hometown, which he sincerely loved and felt his reciprocal love.

Svetlana Grigorieva - TV2 journalist:

“I still can’t believe that Andrei is no longer with us... Cheerful, kind and smiling. When I made comments on the text of the eyeliner, I tried not to be sarcastic, but to explain what the mistake was and how to write it correctly. Andrey was always happy to meet and was interested in business. I asked how and how the Ordinary Miracle Foundation lives now. Do you need help? Andrey did not remain indifferent to the pain of others and for several years actively participated in organizing the “Ordinary Miracle” telethon to help seriously ill children. He was personally responsible for the concert in the City Garden. He invited groups, artists, vocalists who were ready to work without commercial gain. You know, until now at the charity concert that ends our “Ordinary Miracle” marathon on June 1, most of the participants are people whom Andrei once invited.
