I remember his trash TV programs about prostitution and such things which were broadcasted in prime-time (9 pm) back in 90s. He used nudity, description of "dirty" details and such things to rise ratings of his show. No self-respecting journalist would use such methods in my opinion, especially if he knew that half of country's teenagers and even smaller children are watching his show. His programms about politics and war were also all about "scandal", "shock" and so. After "crazy times" at our TV were over he lost his popularity and anyone can hardly remember him now.
Well, I was acquainted with Nevzorov in Leningrad. I did not work closely with him, and I did not see this series about prostitution which you are describing. I did see the expose he did about equestrian sports, and I was impressed with that because I was very involved with equestrian sports when I was a teenager and everything he said about it is true. People beat horses and treat them horribly, all for the sake of winning a gold medal.

We can agree to disagree regarding gar rights. I only ask that we treat each other respectfully. Once the insults start flying, it causes me anxiety and I will usually leave the conversation.
