Yevgeniy Yuriyevich Dodolyev (also spelled "Yevgeny" or "Eugueni"; Russian: Евге́ний Ю́рьевич До́долев, born 11 June 1957) is a Soviet and Russian journalist and publisher.
Evgeny first appeared on Soviet television in late 1980s as one of the hosts of a highly progressive and successful Vzglyad (which literally translates as The View or The Look), a kind of satirical television show watched weekly by as many as 100 million people. The other anchors were Artyom Borovik, Vladislav Listyev, Alexander Lyubimov, Alexander Politkovsky and Dmitry Zaharov. According to The New York Times in a 1989 interview Dodolev spoke openly about Soviet propaganda:
The words had little apparent effect. Within hours the Soviets shut down a liberal television program and sharply restricted the nation's only independent news agency. "We're seeing a coup. But in a country as big as ours it doesn't take just an hour, like in Haiti," said Yevgeny Dodolev, host of the banned "Vzglyad" TV show. If the generals have their way, the next step could be to declare martial law in Lithuania, disband its legislature, disperse the crowds around Parliament and do the same in other breakaway republics. All while the world looks elsewhere.
In 1991 his colleagues founded a TV company VID (VID actually stands for Vzglyad I Drugiye which literally translates as The View and the Others).
Evgeny Dodolev was the first official employee of extremely popular Russian Sovershenno Sekretno newspaper (which literally translates as Top Secret; in Russian "Совершенно секретно"; Editor in Chief – famous Russian writer Yulian Semyonov, a friend of John le Carré).
Following the success of Vzglyad TV show, in 1992, Dodolev founded the Vzgljad weekly newspaper (later renamed as Novy Vzglyad) to promote the show with the same name.
He is the president of the Novy Vzglyad Publishing House and co-owns few newspapers. Vice president is Marina Lesko. Co-owner of the Publishing House is Kirsan Ilyumzhinov.
