Interview Hour

Interview Hour is a signature program by Gregory Antimony, featuring outstanding personalities from the worlds of culture, art, science, and public life. The show’s format allows viewers not only to discover new facts about its guests but also to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the era in which they live and create. With decades of experience in journalism and documentary filmmaking, Gregory Antimony brings a uniquely personal approach to each conversation, uncovering unexpected and revealing aspects of his guests’ lives and work. The program features renowned directors, writers, actors, musicians, historians, and public figures who have made a significant impact in their respective fields.

Over the years, the show has hosted leading cultural figures from across the post-Soviet space — scientists, writers, politicians, actors, and filmmakers. One of the earliest episodes, recorded in 2012, featured Boris Nemtsov, the Russian opposition leader who was assassinated in Moscow a few years later.

Since its launch, Interview Hour has become the most popular Russian-language program in North America, garnering millions of views and over 35,000 loyal subscribers. The program airs on RTVi and two YouTube channels, establishing itself as the flagship and pride of Russian-language broadcasting on the continent.
