Once Kolesnikov even became the winner of the competition "Towards the 60th Anniversary of the USSR." Success in journalism predetermined the future career of Andrei Ivanovich.
Carier start
Kolesnikov studied diligently. And he had enough ambitions. The presence of talented publications and a good certificate allowed him to become a student at the Faculty of Journalism at Moscow State University. The years of study passed quickly. Upon graduation, Kolesnikov had to start from the very bottom rungs of the career ladder, because the novice journalist had no connections. The young man could count only on his own abilities.
Andrei began his career in a regular large-circulation newspaper called "Accelerator". This newspaper was published at the Institute of High Energy Physics. However, soon Kolesnikov moved to a more respectable publication, the Moscow News. It was here that he began to master the skill of journalism.
