The basic rule of the program is as old as the world: first-hand information and only verified facts.The social and political program "Man and the Law" has been on the First Channel for 35 years (Alexey Pimanov has been running the program since 1996). Such "old age" does not prevent the program from remaining one of the most popular and relevant on Russian television. Perhaps because the main topics are the fight against organized crime, investigations of corruption in the highest echelons of power, criminal stories ...The program tries to give a balanced assessment of the most important events in the political, economic and social life of the country, illuminates a huge range of issues and problems that a person has to face every day, not only from a legal point of view, but also from the standpoint of universal human morality (note in parentheses that we are not talking about the "shamanistic morality" of the Soviet era or the "demagogic verbiage" that is imposing on the teeth, but first of all about the fundamental values of human community, of which there are not so many in the modern world). That is why "Man and the Law", focusing on the ordinary viewer, constantly monitors the fate of its permanent hero - an ordinary person who has fallen into the pincers of injustice and lawlessness.Alexey Pimanov likes to invite guests to the studio of the "Man and the Law" program. These are the main newsmakers of the week - politicians, representatives of law enforcement agencies and law enforcement agencies, well-known journalists with their not always "convenient" investigations, VIPs known throughout the country who, through no fault of their own, fell into a major scrape (whether it be incorrect copyright, protection of honor and dignity or provoked accident).
