Mark Iosifovich Krivosheev is the founder of modern television. Through his efforts, the world received digital broadcasting and high image clarity. He rightfully belongs to the ranks of pioneers such as Popov, Rosing, Zvorykin. The lines of his biography are woven into the history of television. But this book is not only and not so much about technical Olympus, taken by extraordinary talent, but about a person among people. About warm feelings and great love, about life's collisions and strong friendships, about severe trials and unhealing marks of fate on the path to triumph. Essentially, this is a self-portrait against the background of the history of the era and the global progress of television broadcasting. A fascinating storyteller, Mark Iosifovich recalls those who have been around for many decades, and those with whom even short meetings are never forgotten. And how many of them there were - such meetings!
