As Solovyov emphasized, Anatoly Grigorievich Lysenko is "one of the pillars of our modern journalism and our Russian television."

“This is the person who invented and created Vzglyad, a lot of other programs of the youth editorial board, which were definitely included in the textbooks of television journalism.

And of course, his great contribution to the creation of Russian television - RTR, is now a huge international holding, one of the largest in Europe, and once it all started with three offices and one studio in Ostankino.

I also participated in this and, of course, was well acquainted with Anatoly Grigorievich.

And he once sent me to Antarctica, to Yugoslavia and to many other places.

The deepest condolences to the family, relatives of Anatoly Grigorievich and all my colleagues, employees of OTR ", - he concluded.

The death of Anatoly Lysenko, a television journalist and general director of the Public Television of Russia, became known on June 20.
