Olena Nesmiyan, chief producer of TSN, died

We received tragic news. The heart of Olena Nesmiyan, the chief producer of TSN, stopped beating. For the past few months, she has been battling a serious illness that took her life today...

For the entire 1+1 media team, this is a huge loss that cannot be described in words. We express our deepest condolences to Elena's family and all her loved ones.

In 1+1 media, and in general on national television , it is difficult to find a person who did not know Elena. She started her career at TSN 23 years ago, in 1997, and since then the newsroom has become her second home. Thanks to her, TSN gathered a fantastic team of talented professionals who are in love with their work. This wonderful tandem has repeatedly led our company to notable awards. But the most important achievements that Olena regularly brought were the love, respect and empathy that the audience felt through the screen. During her work, many charitable initiatives were created (including "TSN. Help"), which saved the lives of a huge number of people.

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of Elena's instructions to her team, and she is rightfully the real "mother of TSN", who did not need publicity and well-deserved fame. However, for the 20th anniversary of TSN, Olena Nesmiyan gave an exclusive interview and talked about the most important things. The video is available here: h ttps://youtu.be/_65X7Q6Cxt0
