Sofya Gudkova, editor-in-chief of NTV’s “Final Program,” left NTV today. Because she was ordered to kill her ex-husband Dmitry Gudkov.
Sonya is one of the best producers on Russian TV, worked in the famous team of Leonid Parfenov “Namedni”, produced “Profession Reporter” and many other famous television programs. I fought as hard as I could against the “theater of two actors” on the channel. Her latest project is “Defeat Cancer,” which is recognized as one of the best documentaries on Russian TV.
Sonya is the mother of my two beloved children, still my close friend and just a wonderful person.
Sonya, I’m sorry that you had to leave television, work on which for a long time was the meaning of your life. You know very well that I cannot give up my views and beliefs. And everything will be fine with you - I promise!
Watch this Sunday another “order” from Pozdnyakov. Next is a new series of “Anatomy of Protest” about the personal lives of opposition leaders.
We won’t forget, we won’t forgive, what!
