In the modern information field, there are fewer and fewer professional journalists. Andrey Uglanov belongs to the older generation of the “writing fraternity”. His publications are always verified, the facts are verified, the style of presentation is impeccable.
Starting conditions
The fact that people from the province achieve worthy success in the capital has been known since the days of Ancient Rome. Andrei Ivanovich Uglanov was born on May 12, 1956 into an ordinary Soviet family. Parents at that time lived in the legendary town of Kirovo-Chepetsk, which is located in the Kirov region. My father worked at a local chemical plant. Mother worked as a school teacher. From an early age, the child observed how engineering and technical workers live and what tasks they solve.
Andrey studied well at school. His favorite subjects were mathematics and physics. Regularly read the magazines "Young Technician" and "Technology of Youth". I found a common language with classmates. On the street, a physically strong guy did not allow himself to offend. At the same time, he was not on the list of hooligans. After leaving school, he went to Moscow and entered the famous aviation institute. In 1979, having received higher education, the graduate began his industrial career in the research and production association "Zvezda".
The path to the profession
In the biography of Uglanov it is said that he took part in the tests of space modules. And he was even listed as a candidate for admission to the cosmonaut corps. For what reasons he left this type of activity, there is no information in open sources. Maybe he betrayed his Motherland, or maybe his health disappointed. In 1985, Uglan entered the special department of journalism at Moscow State University and two years later received another specialty - journalist. By this time, perestroika processes were unfolding across the country.
A young journalist with solid life experience was admitted to the editorial office of the weekly newspaper Argumenty i Fakty. Literally a few weeks later, Uglanov was transferred to the post of head of the letters department. In the routine of everyday affairs, being engaged in literary creativity, Andrei Ivanovich has "grown" to the chair of deputy editor-in-chief. Not everyone knows that intrigues are regularly woven in editorial teams and noisy scandals often arise.
Essays on personal life
In 2006, Andrei Ivanovich Uglanov expressed displeasure with the socio-political orientation of the publication. And not only expressed it, but having advocated part of the team, established a new weekly "Argumenty Nedeli". It was a risky decision. In this context, it is important to note that after a short period of time, the new edition won love and popularity among readers in the post-Soviet space. In 2015, Uglanov received the "Golden Pen of Russia" award from the Union of Journalists.
The report on the personal life of Andrei Uglanov is laconic and simple. The editor-in-chief is married. The husband and wife raised a son who has been living independently for a long time. But he throws his grandchildren to the "old people" on weekends.
