Drozdov is a well-known and radical opponent of the Russian language in Ukraine[1] and is a sharp critic of the Ukrainian authorities, primarily the President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.[2][3]
Biography
[edit]He spent his childhood in Mykolayiv. His mother was a teacher in a Music school, and his father left him when Drozdov was four years old. He finished music school with flute and piano.[4]
In 2001, Drozdov graduated with honors from the Faculty of Journalism of Lviv University. He worked as a correspondent for various newspapers at the time.
Political career
[edit]In 2007, Drozdov became the author and host of the political program "Pryamim textom" on the ZIK TV channel, where more than a thousand broadcasts with politicians of all levels were conducted. Later in 2014 he also started the hard talk show "Drozdov" on the same channel,[5] where the guests were the main Ukrainian newsmakers of the week.[6] After the acquisition of the channel by Taras Kozak, who is close to the pro-Russian politician Viktor Medvedchuk, Drozdov left ZIK and terminated both of his programs in 2019.[7]
On 25 June 2014, during the war in eastern Ukraine, Drozdov spoke in support of the "Mobilization = Genocide" initiative and called on Ukrainians to unite against mobilization into the ranks of the Ukrainian army.[8]
Since September 2019, he hosts the program "Drozdov pryamym tekstom", which is broadcast on the NTA TV channel and his DROZDOV YouTube channel.
