TV host Sergei Brilev’s lecture at Kazan University creates a stir

Major Russian Rossia TV and radio company’s deputy general director, TV host Sergei Brilev, on Monday read a lecture for students at Kazan Federal University. The fact that the event had aroused a special interest in future journalists was already evident in the check-room.
A crowd of those who could not fit into the room left the building in disappointment.
Brilev had not come to share his experiences, he said, but gain a new one. “The audience’s response is very important for me,” he commented.
He does not consider journalism to be a science. To become a professional in the field, Brilev advises to work hard.
“Of course, this speciality requires an extensive knowledge of history, geography, literature and law. But the main thing is work, work and work. It is a trade, in the good sense of the word,” he shared.
Sergei Brilev had 5 or 6 times been offered a job with NTV but refused, he said.
“I have so far not had an intention to leave my profession completely,” he enhanced. Had he not become a journalist, he would have become a lawyer, he said.
“I still read textbooks on international law before going to sleep. I like it,” he shared.
