Evgeny Vasilievich Revenko (Russian: Евгений Васильевич Ревенко; born May 22, 1972, Sovetskiy, Kupinsky District) is a Russian political figure and a deputy of the 7th State and 8th State Dumas.[1]
In 1991, Revenko started working as a freelancer of the All-Union radio station "Youth". He left the position in 1995 to work for the VIDgital. From 1996 to 2000, he was a correspondent at the NTV. In 1996-1997, Revenko covered the First Chechen War, and in 1999, he prepared documentaries on the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. At the beginning of the 2000s, he worked at the Russia-1 TV channel. From 2005 to 2007, he worked as Deputy Director of the Department of Mass Communications, Culture and Education of the Government of Russia. From 2012 to 2016, he was a Deputy General Director of the All-Russia State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. Since 2016, he was a deputy of the State Duma of the 7th and 8th convocations.[1][2][3]
Revenko has been heavily criticized for his rather emotional and often fake coverage of the events, particularly the ones related to Ukrainian politics.[4][5]
