The writer himself is a laureate of the State Prize of the Republic of Dagestan for the book “There was such a city. Makhachkala”Svetlana Anokhina does not count. She creates projects about townspeople, relationships between children and parents. They brought fame to the creative journalist not only in Russia, but also abroad.
Template work does not inspire Svetlana Anatolyevna for new ideas at all. The author treats himself with irony, believing that the definition in itself drives into a framework, and this is unacceptable. By her confession, she is a completely undefined journalist-scribe.
Searching for a vocation
The biography of the future celebrity began in 1962. The girl was born on August 8 in Makhachkala in a military family. In addition to her, her parents raised her older sister Irina. My father was in charge of the criminal investigation department of the republic, my mother was in charge of a laboratory at the Institute of Physics.
An active restless little girl learned to read early and spent a lot of time in a large home library. She fantasized for hours, coming up with exciting romantic stories from the lives of fictitious ancestors.
After school, she continued her education at the philological faculty of the university. The student arranged her personal life in her second year, together with her husband, his wife then left for Lviv. In the union, they had two children, daughters.
Anokhina returned to Makhachkala in 1999 after her third divorce. She worked in local newspapers, was a television presenter for television. It was at that moment that the understanding came that journalism needed information and nothing more. This seemed too boring for an active person. Svetlana decided to engage in new creativity, which makes it possible to be surprised at herself.
New ideas
The profession seemed to push me to reveal the essence of the city. On the streets of her small homeland, Anokhina approached people who aroused her interest and asked them to tell about her childhood, youth, first love, family. One person named another who could be contacted with the same questions. The information received was recorded. So in 2007 there was a grandiose project by Polina Sanaeva and Svetlana Anokhina “There was such a city”.
None of the participants had regalia, titles and awards were not indicated, whoever the person was. But the occupation of the city dweller was necessarily named. This caused amazement among all the respondents who did not consider themselves to be celebrities. The journalists managed to poeticize their usual life, returning people to a sense of pride and letting them see themselves from the outside.
On the basis of the project, the book “There was such a city. Makhachkala ". The publication aroused considerable interest. After the success, the authors decided to cover new cities. The developers soon released the album “There was such a city. Derbent”, founded the network group“There was such a city. Nalchik ". Buinaksk appeared in Svetlana's plans. According to her plan, there should have been three cities initially: the daring modern Makhachkala, the unhurried ancient Derbent and the once capital of the republic, mountainous Buinaksk.
The author does not plan to complete the project. The materials that did not fit into the format turned out to be so exciting that Anokhina began to compile a separate collection of them. She was offered to publish articles in the Dagestan magazine. Svetlana removed all ties to personalities: anonymous voices tell the history of the era.
Confession
Some traditions caused rejection and misunderstanding among the journalist. She decided to publish the collected materials on the topic of substitution of concepts. The problem was in choosing the format for presenting information. Tatiana Zelenskaya offered to release a cartoon. In it, using "childish" means, the authors told scary stories.
Aida Mirmaksumova submitted material for the grant with Svetlana. After winning, both received an offer to expand their coverage. The project "Fathers and Daughters", which became the starting point for a new idea, included the video "Letter to Dad" and the cartoons "Don't be afraid, I'm with you."Anonymous messages were delivered to the camera by women, one of the letters was read by professional presenter Asya Belova.
The reaction was varied. However, in the opinion of the majority, the project turned out to be very timely and very necessary, Svetlana Anatolyevna herself believes that honest conversations are necessary for society. The topic is relevant for any family.
Anokhina has her own opinion on everything. She writes memorable stories about how a researcher of urban history and culture created a new direction, gaining celebrity.
She admits that she did not manage to become a mother in the classical sense, but she is very proud of her children. The youngest daughter continued the dynasty, choosing journalism as her work of life.
Hobbies and work
Svetlana Anatolyevna loves hats, fish and skirts. She collects all this with pleasure. At the same time, she calls herself an atypical collector who chooses things that require salvation, but at the same time are completely impractical.
Also the celebrity is fond of travel. According to her, she likes to "dive" into new cities, often discovering the most ordinary places from an unexpected side.
Her position is complete openness to the world. This is the only way to get new thoughts, good luck and happiness with a favorable wind. She is sure that life gives her what she needs. She has nothing superfluous, from which it will be necessary to get rid of.
She humorously refers to the wishes of fans never to change, believing that such events cannot be controlled. In an interview, she admitted that she would gladly add to her capacity for work, the ability to present herself, diligence and talent.
At the same time, the author calls the support of her people the most important advantage. The famous journalist, editor-in-chief of the Daptar.ru portal, plans new projects that are completely different from any that existed before.
