Biography

Ganapolsky was born in Lviv in 1953. His mother Dina Levina was one of the last surviving eyewitnesses of the Babi Yar tragedy.[4] Ganapolsky spent his childhood in Lviv, later leaving for Kyiv and then for Moscow where he graduated from the GITIS.[5] From 1981 to 1986, he lived in Kyiv picking up a job at the local Variety Theatre.[5] In 1990, he started working for the radio station Echo of Moscow where he launched the Bomond programme.[6] In 2016, he obtained Ukrainian citizenship.[1][7] As of 2020, Ganapolsky hosted a talk show named Ekho Ukrayiny on Pryamiy kanal[1] and, until the radio station's closure in March 2022, several radio programmes on Echo of Moscow.[2]
