Andrey Shitov led the TASS office in Washington from Bill Clinton to Donald Trump and, all in all, spent more than a quarter of a century overseas at Russia’s main news agency. Hardly any other contemporary Russian journalist has such experience. In this audio book, he shares his reflections: about everyday life and customs, about presidents and ordinary Americans, about life and professional lessons. He recalls how he was approached to be recruited by American special services, how his son asked Obama whether he wanted to get rich, and how he participated in the case involving the death of Vanya Skorobogatov, the Russian adopted child. The audio book is a real treasure trove of information for those interested in how foreign correspondents work, and for anyone who wants to delve into the intricacies and secrets of the “second oldest” profession.
