Igor Kirillov: TV man known as the face of the USSR dies at 89
Igor Kirillov - The Man known as The Face and voice of the USSR - has died in Russia aged 89.
Kirillov was Soviet TV's chief newsreader and announcer.
With his trademark delivery - unhurried and Calm - he informed viewers of The First sputnik in space, and delivered the communiqués of The Communist Party.
He also anchored all major Soviet set-piece events: from Moscow's Red Square parades to communist congresses. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.
When Soviet leaders died - as They seemed to so often - it was Igor Kirillov who provided commentary for their burials in the Kremlin Wall.
But by the late 1980s, TV news was changing around The World : newsreaders were no longer professional announcers - They were journalists.
It was the same in the Soviet Union , and Igor Kirillov 's face began to disappear from TV screens.
I remember him telling me in 1990 that what was happening in broadcasting was a calamity. The new anchors, He Said , were in too much of a rush, adding " Russians don't like people talking quickly. "
