Then the evening continued in a friendly and relaxed conversation.

Igor Zhukov began with a story about the turbulent time of birth and formation of non-state television in Ukraine, which began in Kharkov, which gave Ukraine and the entire former Soviet Union the first alternative television channel. It was at this time that the beginning of the career of Igor Zhukov, which created the first in the post-Soviet space show program about the movie "Videovreu". In the early 90's he found new forms of communication with television viewers and overseas filmmakers: in each program, with the help of video editing and fiction, the author created the effect of the presenter's presence in a particular film. Surprisingly, later than in Ukrainian television, this was done in Hollywood by Robert Zemeckis in the film "Forrest Gump". As Zhukov himself recalled: "The idea was born while watching a movie: he noticed that in some scenes of films near the hero I can easily" fit "and I. And then, as they say, the matter of technology. Then, of course, antediluvian, but still, it was filmed on a blue background and with the help of the "RIR-projection" appeared in the frames of the films: jumped off the explosions with Schwarzenegger, with Van Damme doing his signature "turntable", hugging Julia Roberts and. "Guests of the evening learned first-hand a lot of interesting and unknown from the television kitchen, because other programs of Zhukov came out not only on all major television channels of Kharkov, but also on the air of national television companies. And he was not only the author, the director and the presenter of his programs, but he also worked successfully in television management, worked as a program director, formed a film repertoire, advertised on four large Kharkov television channels, broadcasts, directed the production studio, was the voice of the channel, the producer various programs and the organizer of "Master classes for the training of TV personalities and journalists from the stars of Kharkiv TV", where everyone can learn how to work on television. Now his program on the movie "Premiere with Igor Zhukov" is published daily on the Kharkov TV channel "A / TVK".

The TV host invited all comers to the Internet TV channel "Kharkov-TV", opened by him last year to the Day of the City of Kharkov, about the history and the present of the Kharkov TV and the people who made it. The site of the Internet TV channel tv. kh. ua should be the beginning of the creation of the first nationwide channel from the First Capital. Igor Zhukov believes: "Kharkov needs its all-Ukrainian and even a world-wide TV channel for Kharkiv citizens living in Ukraine and around the world! "But this creative range of Zhukov is not limited: he also writes poems and songs. In 2006, a collection of poems by the TV presenter "I'll tell you about the wind". Igor Zhukov also gave his songs to the audience from the stage of the Kharkov cinema and concert hall "Ukraine".

Igor Zhukov called his evening "25 years on TV" creative-poetic, because the second part was devoted to a new book of poems by the TV presenter, which is combined with a collection of poems by his father, poet and journalist Leonid Zhukov, who worked in newspapers Chuguev and Kharkov and died in 2014. This is an unusual alligator book: one side is entirely devoted to the poems of his father, Leonid Zhukov, entitled "The White Crow with the Peacock's Tail". The second side of the publication is the poetic creativity of his son, Igor Zhukov, and is called "The One Whose Name Whispers the Wind". Igor Zhukov admitted: "This book is a tribute of respect, which I give to the bright memory of the Pope. It was thanks to him that I took place as a creative person and personality. It is unfortunate that he did not live up to the present day and can not pick up this book. Leonid Grigorievich went to poetry throughout his life, but only in recent years he was able to devote himself entirely to literary creation. He did without stopping - day and night - as if he was afraid that he would not make it. The poet did not have time to publish his own poems. Before his 75th birthday, he did not live out literally a month. Leonid Zhukov did not become in September 2014, but the work of the poet continues to live. After the death of his works are published in the press and receive positive feedback. And this book, in which only a small part of his poetic heritage is displayed, is another step in the long and thorny path of the poet Leonid Zhukov to his reader. I devote my book to my grandmother and mother, who died when I was three years old ". Igor Zhukov introduced the evening's guests to the poetic creativity of his father and his. The poems he read were warmly received by the applause of those present.
