In pure Russian: Channel One took the famous military correspondent for a BBC journalist

The journalist of the First channel, who participated in On the direct line of Russian President Vladimir Putin, she took the famous war correspondent of VGTRK, her colleague Sergei Zenin, for BBC journalist Steve Rosenberg. The British journalist himself drew everyone's attention to this by publishing a video of the curiosity on his page on the social network X.

"I didn't know I had a doppelganger… Russian television clearly thinks so. At Vladimir Putin's press conference, a reporter interviewed "Steve Rosenberg" live (but it wasn't me)," Rosenberg wrote.

During the live line, one of the presenters communicated with those who came to the program.

"Today here we see, in particular, Steven Rosenberg," said the presenter and began to make her way to the one she took to be a representative of the BBC.

"Steve, hello. Tell me, please, is this a direct line, a press conference with Vladimir Putin?" — she asked her opponent.

"Not the first," Sergey Zenin said, greeting the journalist and answering in pure Russian.

The presenter was not embarrassed by such a level of Russian proficiency, she thanked Rosenberg's double and headed further down the hall.

As EADaily reported, Indian film director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury would like to make a feature film based on the love story of a Ural journalist who proposed to his girlfriend during the program "Results of the Year with Vladimir Putin."

Choudhury is confident that this story has cinematic potential due to the combination of personal drama and public context.
