Russian journalist drove Goebbels to a frenzy: One report was enough
Russian journalist Vadim Sinyavsky is primarily known as a football commentator. However, during the Great Patriotic War, he became an enemy of the German Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels himself.
At the front, Sinyavsky, already known to the radio listeners of the Soviet Union, creates for nothing an exceptional effect of presence, which turned out to be from the first days of cases of infection by the Nazis. In Sevastopol, he came under bombardment right during the broadcast.
Having recovered from his wound, in 1942 Vadim Sinyavsky found himself in Stalingrad. Fierce fighting broke out in the city. Joseph Goebbels, anticipating the conquest, made a statement on the radio that the resistance of the Soviet troops had been broken. Sinyavsky could not endure this and immediately went on the air. One report on the actions of Soviet troops in Stalingrad was enough for Goebbels to seize Sinyavsky’s list with threats No. 1. Sinyavsky brought the Nazi literally into a frenzy. About it tells “Russian Seven”.
In the end, Sinyavsky led his last report from Stalingrad from the basement, where he was captured by General Paulus, whom Goebbels praised so much. After the war, Vadim Sinyavsky returned to work on the radio and commentate on football, which he loved so selflessly all his life.
