Anton Gubankov in 1991 was a correspondent for the Nevskoe Vremya newspaper, then became the head of the Channel 5 information service, and in 1997, the St. Petersburg information and journalism service of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. Two years later, he headed the information service of the channel, and from 2008 to 2011 he served as chairman of the committee on culture of St. Petersburg.
In 2012, Gubankov became the Minister of Culture of the Moscow Region, a year later he moved to the position of Director of the Department of Culture of the Ministry of Defense. Former colleagues, politicians and journalists remember Gubankov as a sympathetic person who always helped with advice.
Dmitry Runkov has been working on Channel One for the past year. He moved from Arkhangelsk to St. Petersburg, where he worked as a correspondent for local channels, including the St. Petersburg channel, and then to Moscow. Five days later, Runkov was to turn 30 years old.

Chief Editor " Novaya Gazeta in St. Petersburg"
“Anton Gubankov and I were close friends, but not for long. In the early 90s, we worked together at Nevsky Vremya, but it was not this that brought us together, but a funny coincidence - I was then married to an American Robert, and Anton had a very long and beautiful romance with a beautiful girl Laura from Seattle. This was the era before e-mail, I'll tell you more, international calls had to be ordered through "lady 07".
And therefore, every opportunity across the ocean was perceived as a gift of fate - not only parcels were transmitted, but also letters written by hand. Laura brought me greetings from Robert, I gave her some cute trinkets from Antosha. Only once we managed to meet all four of us, I think in St. Petersburg, and drink for our self-made "charter". Then life turned out so that Anton stayed in Russia, and Laura stayed in America (I don’t reveal any family secret, he even told someone about it in an interview), and I talked with them separately. Anton was teased by the "Russian master" for his love for everything beautiful - from women to cufflinks. I was always shy with Laura, because she was very serious and correct.
Marina Shishkina
Public figure
“You have always been a perfectionist to me. In clothes, manners, dinners, conversations. And even in office work. Because the Lord ordered that you lead culture: you grew up in an intelligent environment, and your family is an example of high Leningrad culture. It was absolutely natural for you to communicate with the Masters, you were one of them.
You never spoke badly about anyone - you justified it all the time. Also a sign of aristocracy - do not stoop to gossip. He could show "crazy" - perform rap in a general's uniform. And all your ideas - from Borodin to Aurora - could only come up with a brilliant brain.
Alexandra Garmazhapova
Correspondent of Radio Liberty
“A person is an attitude towards children. When I was 15, Anton Gubankov invited me to intern at Vesti, because she enthusiastically described to him what she would like to do. He did not dismiss, like most media bosses, but tried in every possible way to inspire. Bright memory».
Christina Zayats
Paper editor from 2012 to 2014
“I remember how Igor Strakhov, TV presenter of the Vesti St. Petersburg channel, gave a master class to journalism students and told how Anton Nikolaevich, working on the TV channel, read the texts of journalists. They brought a pile of papers to his office, he sat down at the table and in the first seconds it was clear how bad the text was. If I remember correctly, Strakhov said that Gubankov perceived a badly written, low-quality text as a personal insult and was very upset. And his colleagues became terribly uncomfortable if such material fell into his hands.
At that time, he ran his video blog on the website of the Committee for Culture and in one issue suggested that St. Petersburg residents think about creating a city brand. The person who leads a video blog on the official website of a government agency and says the word "brand" seemed very progressive and fashionable. There was a feeling that he really wants to look at St. Petersburg in a new way.
Boris Vishnevsky
deputy of the Legislative Assembly
“The terrible news in the morning is about the crashed plane, in which there were people I know well: Anton Gubankov and Dmitry Runkov. We once worked together with Anton at Nevsky Vremya, we talked with Dima many times when he worked in the “parliamentary pool” of journalists in Zaks. I mourn for the dead and condolences to their families and friends. No matter what causes the catastrophe, people cannot be returned. I can’t help thinking: if it weren’t for the war in Syria, which is completely unnecessary for Russia, these people (and many others) would still be alive. Blessed memory of the dead."
Dmitry Travin
Scientific Director of the EUSP Modernization Research Center
"Anton was an unusual person. The properties of a bright journalist and an experienced administrator were combined in him extremely organically. Gubankov was remembered by many, in particular, by the fact that, already working in the Ministry of Defense, he wrote and personally performed a rap promoting service in the Russian army.<…>
He was the chairman of the council of the pioneer squad of the school. Then the secretary of the school committee of the Komsomol, the chairman of the council in the elite youth camp "Mirror", where the future Soviet elite. The image of the Komsomol functionary seemed to stay with him forever. At the university, he again turned out to be the secretary of the Komsomol committee - this time the faculty committee.<…>
Anton honestly admitted that many now would probably try to hide. “May 19 is Pioneer Day. I walked along the Palace Square at the head of a column of pioneer squads from my school. On the podium - Valentina Matvienko. A sense of pride for oneself, for the country. And the same feeling when, say, a large stadium roars at the top of its voice: “Our Motherland is the Revolution. She is the only one we are faithful to.” Collective kamlaniya then reached the majority. Red ties, banners unfurled, paramilitary symbols. For boys, this is always important. There was a peculiar sense of comfort from belonging to great country. Feeling of power: we are not afraid of anything. Children were aroused by popular soviet songs with imperial motives. However, all this was effective only until 1978. To Afghanistan and Brezhnev, shaking with old age.
Early in the morning on Sunday, December 25, Anton Gubankov died. He was in that TU-154, which flew from Adler to Latakia and disappeared from radar at 5.27 am Moscow time.
The plane of the Ministry of Defense flew to the air base in Syria with an extensive humanitarian program: 64 musicians from the Ensemble. Alexandrova - choir, accordion players, balalaika players led by the head of the group Valery Khalilov, Doctor Lisa, nine journalists with television and cameras.
Anton Nikolayevich Gubankov, who over the past two and a half years was in charge of all the cultural work of the Ministry of Defense, preferred large-scale, well-designed and spectacular projects. Such is the personality trait that does not depend on the position. Do it do it.
In general, in order to, having come to the Ministry of Defense, literally from the doorstep, declare to the local personnel that from each employee, if he considers himself a patriot, not only honest service is required, but also “a good dose of creativity and creativity”, you must have, you see, enough boldness, passion and self-confidence. One can imagine how surprised the officials in uniform were. And the fact that, after two years of Gubankov’s hard work in the main military department of the country, it announced the transformation of the department of culture into a department of culture in connection with “a significant increase in the volume of tasks set by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in the development of the humanitarian sphere of the Armed Forces”, testifies that the ambitions of the "chief in culture" (it was such a non-standard plate hung on the door of his office) of the Ministry of Defense were justified.
Tu-154 was heading to the place of hostilities to congratulate Russian soldiers on the New Year. If the operation had succeeded, it would have been an event commensurate with the performance of the Gergiev orchestra in Palmyra. And this is not the place to discuss whether this war is necessary and whether it was necessary to fly there. Because the text is not about the war. It is about a person who was able to start and implement grandiose projects and, with his presence, radically change the meaning and reputation of the place he occupied.
The Ministry of Defense here, perhaps, will seem to someone not a very successful example. But, on the other hand, who and when in our memory knew the name of the person who heads the local department of culture? Apparently, only the directors of subordinate institutions - the Theater of the Russian Army and the Ensemble. Alexandrova. The Soviet era taught that political workers, whose business is ideological education, are engaged in the "cultivation" of personnel. And here - Gubankov with his romantic ideas pre-revolutionary “color of Russian culture in uniform”, with the established festival of military bands, military KVN, the Prize for the development of the army theme and military-patriotic traditions in culture. At the grandiose open-air on Frunzenskaya Embankment, both the stars of the Mariinsky Theater and St. Petersburg's Billy's Band sang in the final concert of the Army of Russia festival, and the show was organized by the Dance Open company, which has the best open-airs on Dvortsovaya.
And this is only half of what Gubankov, as it turned out now, was planning in his post. One thing that's in the theater Russian Army at the invitation of Gubankov, Milena Avimskaya came to work, the same one who created the ON. theatrical Russia, he says - having taken the post of general, Gubankov was not at all going to change his former, civil, predilections, of which St. Petersburg is well aware.
Because the most incredible, brilliant and successful career leap in the fate of Anton Gubankov was his transfer from the St. Petersburg RTR to the chairmanship of the culture committee. Before that, of course, everyone saw on TV screens and remembered the charming presenter with excellent diction and a barely perceptible ironic smile, which betrayed in Gubankov a person who plays a role, and not stupidly pronouncing someone's text. But only when he took the post of head of culture in St. Petersburg in June 2008, he seemed to be at home, having received that measure of freedom, powers and means that allowed him to noticeably bend the surrounding reality for himself. And he began to act.
Here it must be said right away that Anton Nikolaevich Gubankov never was and did not want to be perfect, but he was very impressed with being modern, productive, loved and chic. And he did it much more often than his ill-wishers would like. At first it was difficult to get used to the fact that in former administration culture now reigns a kind of dandy in London shirts of different colors, with high collars and cuffs, in which graceful cufflinks sparkle instead of banal buttons. A stylish official has become an oxymoron during the years of the Soviet regime. Gubankov is a collector and generally a gourmet in the field of arts, who graduated from the French department of the philological faculty of Leningrad University, comes from an intelligent St. Petersburg family (mother is an artist, father is a philosopher, teacher at the Theater Academy) brought to the historic mansion on Nevsky, 40, a type of communication on the verge of secular and businesslike: a cup of tea with first-class chocolate on the table did not at all prevent the interlocutors from resolving issues, because for the first time in decades in a high office there was a person who was ready to solve, and not provoke the bureaucratic red tape that was repeatedly described by the classics.
Under Anton Nikolayevich Gubankov, who worked (which is fundamentally important) in close conjunction with the then governor Valentina Matvienko, projects appeared in the city that it was useless to stutter about before in the committee on culture: the Museum Olympus Prize and the St. Petersburg theater award for young people "Breakthrough", festivals "Dyagilev P.S." and “Master’s Apprentices”, the “Petersburg Ambulance” project, which carries out cultural events in hospitals and hospices, the image project “Children’s Petersburg” began to be held annually in European capitals, in the already mentioned ON Laboratory. Dozens of performances were produced by young directors who before there was nowhere to go in the city, in the TPAM (Andrei Moguchiy Theater Laboratory) project, for budgetary money, young people under the guidance of an experienced director were engaged in the process, research - and no one twisted their arms, demanding an indispensable result.
But most importantly, the work of the committee on culture under Gubankov has become systematic. The project of regular subsidies for non-state theaters, left to Gubankov by his predecessor, was brought to perfection - and dozens of independent groups began to create one by one works of art who were sent to golden mask” and European forums, and thus did not allow the theater hospitals financed from the budget to sleep peacefully. Moreover, Gubankov made decisions within literally ten minutes, accurately determining with a sniper which of the projects was viable and which was not. And he almost never missed a beat: until now, all the projects blessed by him are alive and gaining momentum, and subsidies to non-host theaters remain the envy of Muscovites, too, who attribute the flourishing of a young creative theater in St. Petersburg to this regular support from the city.
In a word, for once St. Petersburg culture was led by man of culture, who at the same time, sitting in a solid chair, remained primarily a man. “You could call on him and talk,” I now hear from bankers, and from directors, and from crazy experimental directors. What's true is true. Anton Nikolaevich (nobody called him otherwise in the committee, even old friends and colleagues) really appreciated the dialogue, because he wanted not only to lead culture, but also to feel it. He went on all sorts of adventures. At some ceremony, at the request of the organizers, he could appear from the hatch or from the ceiling - and not look ridiculous at the same time. He could arrange a "Christmas Tree" for journalists in his own office and play the role of Santa Claus himself - and it never occurred to anyone to be familiar with him. He was able to come on a day off to open an exhibition (for example, dedicated to the nominees for the Breakthrough Prize) on the way from the dacha, with his son, in a white sweater from Fronde - and to communicate easily, competently, completely captivating the young heroes of the vernissage in "Etazhi".
It was easy with him: to do projects, communicate, make friends. He adored his family to such an extent that he could not help but brag to his friends about his clever son, his youngest daughters, whom he and his wife raised as perfect princesses.
A liberal, artistic, ambitious chairman was no longer needed in St. Petersburg in October 2011, when the political trend began to noticeably change in the country, when professionalism receded not even into the background, even into the tenth plan, and officials, including cultural ones, began to be selected according to the principle of conformity with the ideals of the ruling party. Let's not count now how many cultural projects have been implemented in the city since Gubankov left for Moscow - Anton Nikolayevich would not like it, and the comparative result is already obvious. But here's the paradox: a new type of official with all his remarkable baggage of cultural knowledge and managerial skills, with all his moderate eccentricity and immoderate creativity in places in the capital was not in demand by the Ministry of Culture, which, before all others, turned into a nomenklatura structure with a Soviet smell, but in the Ministry defense.
In these new proposed circumstances, Gubankov played his role brilliantly, in every public speaking adding a homeopathic dose of postmodernist banter, getting high primarily from the game, and not from “special zeal”. Although it is unlikely that his new colleagues could appreciate the beauty of this game. Those who could, remained in St. Petersburg. But the head of the cultural department of the Ministry of Defense invited them to cooperate invariably and regularly, which is why the army undoubtedly only benefited: after all, there is never too much culture. And yet, to overcome the absurdity of the fact that the St. Petersburg dandy Anton Gubankov was forced to put on military uniform, can only be the mind-boggling catastrophe of his absurd death in a Department of Defense aircraft, which, after refueling, could not stay in the air for more than seven minutes. But this is a completely different topic.
In 1987 he graduated from the French Department of the Faculty of Philology of the Leningrad State University.
Since 1985 - a correspondent for the Leningrad University newspaper, published in a number of federal publications (Izvestia, Soviet Russia).
In 1988-1990 he worked in Syria.
