RF legendary journalist Inna Rudenko to celebrate 80th birthday

MOSCOW, May 2 (Itar-Tass) -- The legend of Russian journalism and a
columnist of the Komsomolskaya Pravda daily, Inna Rudenko, will celebrate
her 80th birthday on Monday.
Upon graduation from the journalism faculty of the Moscow State
University she started her career in the Komsomolskaya Pravda 54 years
ago. "They taught me to think and protect my own point of view," Inna
Pavlovna said in an interview. She believes that her profession is
perfect. "With how many people I got acquainted thanks to it and with how
many people I made friends. Generally speaking, journalism is like the
fate. This is the life as it is," Rudenko noted.
For more than 50 years Inna Rudenko has written thousands of essays,
articles and editorial articles. Her work is praised highly. She is a
laureate of the Lenin Young Communist League prize, a winner of the Golden
Pen award of the USSR Union of Journalists, a laureate of the Master
nomination in the Academy of Free Press, the Legend of Russian Journalism
award of the Russian Union of Journalists and the cavalier of three orders.
Outstanding personalities were rare heroes of her reports. Absolutely
ordinary people were most of her heroes. For instance, the world learnt
from Rudenko's article entitled Duty about a Soviet warrior in Afghanistan
Sasha Nemtsov, who was crippled in this war. "I have never written about
celebrities, expect for Galina Ulanova, who was a friend of mine. If I do
not like a person I will not write an essay about him, as there is nothing
more interesting to me than a personality. I have never worked with a
dictaphone and went in a remote village only with a notebook and a ball
pen. I was living with these people for several days, drinking tea and was
going for a work with them and was seeking to understand them," Rudenko
confirmed.
Rudenko is convinced that she is just an ordinary person. "I will say
to you frankly that I cannot realize myself, why people love me. I am
still working as a first-try reporter and I am writing each report with a
great excitement," she underlined. "I grew up on your articles," people
often say to me. "But is there anything special in them? I do not
understand," Rudenko said.
