Vladimir Pozner spent the Cold War as the Soviet Union's most fluent English-speaking face to the West - a spokesman he later called what it was: propaganda. Trilingual, sharp, and raised in America, he could explain Moscow's line in terms Americans understood.

About this person

Born 1 April 1934 in France, Pozner grew up in the United States and came to adulthood speaking English, Russian, and French with equal ease. During the Cold War he became the Soviet Union's chosen voice to Western audiences, articulating Moscow's positions in a language and style that bridged the divide. After the USSR fell he moved to the United States to work with Phil Donahue, then returned to Moscow and continued as a television journalist. From 2008 to 2022 he hosted Pozner on Russia's Channel One, sitting down with public figures in long-form interviews.
