The professionalism of presenter Ilya Kolosov has long been appreciated by many. His program “The 25th Hour” on the TV Center channel has high ratings, and the documentary film “The Priceless Dollar”, which he shot, which tells why the dollar has taken over the whole world, caused tens of thousands of audience responses. In his book, I. Kolosov touches on topics that are not usually discussed on television. Where did our Stabilization Fund go? why the government unquestioningly follows all the recommendations of the International Monetary Fund and actually cares more about the development of the American economy than the Russian one; who benefits from Russia's dollar dependence and much more. The reader will find in the book a story about the behind-the-scenes secrets of Russian television, about the secret springs that drive the media, about the ways electronic media influence viewers.
