Where is Boris Burda now? Aenne Burda. Biography. Photos. Star Trek by Boris Burda, “What? Where? When?"

The brightest player in the intellectual TV show “What? Where? When?”, whose assets include three “Crystal Owls” and the main one – “Diamond Owl”, an erudite, nicknamed by fans “a living encyclopedia”. Bard, poet, TV presenter, renowned culinary specialist, author of a dozen “delicious” books. And this is all about him, Boris Oskarovich Burda - a bright, talented and multifaceted man.

Childhood and youth

The famous intellectual was born in the midst of spring 1950. Boris Burda is a native of Odessa for three generations. Boris Oskarovich’s grandfathers found themselves in a “pearl by the sea” after the Civil War. One died at the front, the second lived to old age, working as an accountant.

Boris grew up in an intelligent family: his father is a military man, his mother is a pediatrician. Due to the busyness of the parents, the grandmother, a native St. Petersburg native, raised the grandson. Boris developed qualities that were useful in intellectual play in early childhood. He learned to read at the age of 4, having independently guessed that the letter opposite the picture with a watermelon is “a”, respectively, next to the bear is “m”.

My father's service caused frequent moves. The family lived in Baku for several years, but Boris Burda graduated from school in his native Odessa. Studying was easy, Borya left school No. 116 with a gold medal. It is noteworthy that among the future player’s classmates, “What? Where? When?" there was Semyon Palatnik, a Soviet and then American chess player and grandmaster.

After graduating from school, Boris Burda entered the local polytechnic institute, choosing the faculty of thermal power engineering. He graduated from Burda University with honors, becoming an engineer for the automation of heat and power processes. He worked in his specialty for almost 20 years. Everything changed in the early 1990s, when a new chapter opened in the biography of Boris Burda entitled “What? Where? When?". An Odessa resident became a player in an intellectual casino, easily passing the qualifying tests.

Journalism and television

Boris Burda gained experience in team play during his student years: he became a member of the institute KVN team. In this status he appeared on TV screens and got his first taste of fame, becoming a two-time champion of club games. In the late 1980s, Burda performed in the brain ring, achieving success: he repeatedly became the champion and vice-champion of the game in the USSR, and then in the unified brain ring of the CIS.

The Odessa polymath entered the club of intellectuals as a player on the city team. Another bright member of the team was. But the Odessa team lost to the spectators in the first game, and Burda and his colleagues lost their membership in the club.

In the mid-1990s, Boris Burda returned to the game: a general amnesty was announced to the losing teams. Since then, the Odessa resident has been a regular at games. In 1998, 2000 and 2008, the polymath from Ukraine won the Crystal Owl prize. And in 2007, the elder of the “What? Where? When?" Boris Oskarovich Burda was awarded the “Diamond Owl”.

In 1998, the “human computer” and “Mr. Encyclopedia,” as Boris Burda was called at the beginning of his career, was given the “Golden Chip” as the best player of the year. In the team, Burda became the best player 7 times: this was decided by MTS TV viewers by voting. The last time the Odessa native was given the championship was in 2009: based on the results of the spring and autumn games of the year.

Boris Burda is famous both for his brilliant play and for his productive questions: he is the author of two and a half thousand questions asked to participants during training sessions and tournaments of the sports version of club competitions.

Since the mid-1990s, Burda has appeared in another intellectual project called “Own Game,” adding several more awards to his existing ones. Having won 5 games in a row, Boris won the car. In 2003, he won 2 games in the new cup, but lost to Anatoly Belkin in the rematch. The last time Boris Burda appeared in “His Game” was in 2014.

But it was not only the games of erudites that brought fame to the Odessa native, although, in fairness, it is worth noting that two-thirds of TV viewers know Boris Oskarovich from the program “What? Where? When?". But Burda is a multifaceted person and endowed with many talents. Thanks to his first wife and her inability to cook, the Odessa resident joined the fascinating world of cooking and achieved serious heights in the art.

In 1997, Burda appeared on television in a new “name” project - the culinary show “Delicious with Boris Burda.” The hobby brought the Odessa resident both fame and profit. Having compiled and systematized hundreds of culinary recipes, Boris Oskarovich published 13 books. The first was published in 1999 in Tallinn, the rest in Russia and Ukraine.

Another talent of Boris Burda is vocal. Admirers of bard songs see the artist at festivals and gatherings. The star has several more bright television projects in his kitty. On the Russian channels TVC and NTV, Burda hosted the programs “The World on a Plate” and “Country of Soviets.” In 2012, he participated in the game “Pursuit” as one of four members of the “team of masters”. Viewers saw Boris Burda on the TV shows “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” and “The Smartest”.

Personal life

The player, poet, bard and TV presenter visited the registry office twice. Boris Burda met his first wife, Bella Vernikova, in Odessa. In 1972, Bella gave birth to her husband’s first child, Vladislav Burda. He became an entrepreneur and founded a trading holding, which includes the Antoshka children's store chain. Vladislav is the president of the holding.

The marriage with Bella broke up, the woman left for Israel. Vernikova teaches at the University of Jerusalem, defended her doctorate in philosophy, and writes poetry. Son Vladislav remained in Ukraine.

Soon after separating from his first wife, Boris Burda married for the second time, but the name of his wife and the woman’s occupation cannot be found - Boris Oskarovich does not talk about personal matters. It is known that Burda met his second wife while working in the All-Union Council of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union under the Central Committee of the Komsomol. Both are members of the Council.

In his second marriage, a son, George, was born. Burda Jr. received his higher education in America: he graduated from the University of Colorado. Works in the USA as a programmer. Relatives of the famous Odessa resident live in California. Burda's brother and sister left for the United States in the early 1990s, taking their parents with them. Boris remained in his beloved city.

Children and grandchildren of Boris Burda

In America, Boris Burda's brother got a job as a programmer at IBM, and his sister got a job as an accountant. The greatest success in the USA was achieved by his nephew Brian, his sister’s son. At 15, the guy gave piano concerts, and his paintings participated in art exhibitions. Boris Burda has two grandchildren - Dmitry and Timofey.

The TV star loves Mediterranean cuisine and cooks Turkish, Lebanese, Italian, and Israeli dishes. However, Boris Burda’s assortment includes recipes from all countries and peoples of the world.

Boris Burda now

The star of “What? Where? When?" Since 2009, he has not appeared on the rating project of Channel One, but leads a busy life.

In October 2016, Boris Burda pleased viewers of the Ukrainian TV channel “Inter” by appearing in the kitchen in the company of TV presenter and culinary specialist Andrey Dromov, also a resident of Odessa.

In May 2017, the artist participated in the Odessa Estuaries and Before the Turn festivals. The last one is bardic. Boris Oskarovich gave fans of songs around the fire a new hit called “Tourist March”.

July 28 marks the 109th anniversary of the birth of a woman whose name is known throughout the world thanks to the famous fashion magazine "Burda moden". Anne Burda, a simple German housewife, helped ordinary women with modest incomes look elegant and stylish. She made herself and invited everyone to try the same: the magazine included high-quality patterns from which women could sew their own clothes.

During the Soviet era, the magazine “Burda,” as everyone called it then, was incredibly popular. Soviet women were attracted by the restraint of forms, ease of cut and suitability for everyday use, in contrast to the pretentiousness of styles and bright colors of “haute couture”. A beautiful life suddenly seemed real and achievable. The magazine was valued for its accessibility and accuracy of patterns, which could easily be transferred to fabric. In addition, it opened up great scope for independent creativity: using the ideas of a fashion magazine, women refined and modified them.

Anna Magdalena Lemminger was born in a German provincial town in 1909. She married early, the owner of the printing workshops, Franz Burda, and gave birth to three children. By Western standards, the family's income was modest, although Enne could afford to hire a nanny and a housekeeper. She spent 25 years taking care of the house and children exclusively. Perhaps this would have lasted longer if not for one incident that radically changed the measured life.

At the age of 40, Enne found out that her husband had been having an affair with his secretary for a long time, and she gave birth to a child. In addition, her husband gave her one of the printing workshops and the fashion magazine “Effie Fashionable”. With the help of a lawyer, Enne took the magazine from her husband's mistress and took charge of it. At that time, it did not generate income and was not popular. The new concept was quite simple: comfortable and elegant outfits, quality patterns, cooking recipes and home improvement tips. The magazine was designed for ordinary women with an average income. Enne did not promote blind adherence to fashion trends, but the search for one’s own style using available means.

The first issue was published in 1950. In the post-war period in Germany, women dreamed of inexpensive, easy-to-wear and beautiful clothes, and the magazine's circulation grew from 100 thousand to 500 thousand copies in the first six months alone. Enne wisely forgave her unfaithful husband, he became a junior partner in her business, and the magazine received the family name. It is interesting that Enne herself was not interested in sewing or other women's hobbies - she only enjoyed cooking.

Anne Burda attended Paris and Milan fashion shows, and then adapted new ideas for her magazine. She ran the business independently until she was 87, and after her mother died in 2005, her youngest son, Hubert, inherited the fashion empire. Enne's hometown, Offenburg, is jokingly called Burdapest, and one of its streets received her name. Today the magazine does not enjoy the same incredible popularity as in the twentieth century, but continues to exist.

Another person who has created a name for himself in the fashion world is a Japanese designer, fashion designer and perfumer:

Anne Burda and the first Russian-language magazine Burda Moden. 1987

“I will prove that miracles can be done with your own hands”- this famous quote contains the quintessence of a great life Aenne Burda. She was born to create miracles with her own hands and help others do the same. Not so long ago, in 2005, at the age of 96, a legend of several generations passed away, but her name and great cause live and live. There is a lot to learn from Enne Burda (and not just sewing)…

There are women in German villages...

On July 28, 1909, a daughter was born into the family of a railway worker from Offenburg (Germany). Anne-Magdalena Lemminger. As befits the respectable commoner girls of that time, Enne studied at a parochial school until she was 17 years old. She was good with numbers and arithmetic, so she began her career as a cashier at a factory, and a little later as an accountant for debt accounting at the local printing house and publishing house Burda. The publishing house and printing house belonged to Dr. Franz Burda, whom Enne married in 1931. Now she worked for the family business, which meanwhile was confidently going uphill.

This was the first serious achievement. Anne Lemminger, a commoner from a working-class neighborhood with an incomplete secondary education, turned into a successful businesswoman and socialite. A natural sense of beauty, coupled with hard work, allowed Enna to look “like a million dollars” during social events. She was always dressed impeccably, knew how to wear jewelry and amazed with her refined manners.

Franz Burda made the right choice, seeing a real “diamond” in the modest accountant. But he didn’t have the intelligence to appreciate her - he took a mistress on the side, who gave birth to a child, and even gave her a publishing house.

Enna was already 40 years old at that time; in her marriage to Franz, she gave birth to three sons - Franz (1932), Frieder (1936) and Hubert (1940). The news of her husband's betrayal literally crippled her, but the modest and respectable mother of the family turned out to be a timid person - she decided to fight to the end. In 1949, Anne received full control of the same publishing house in the neighboring town of Lahr, which her loving husband had given to a certain Effie Breuer. Along with the dilapidated building of the unprofitable publishing house, Enna had the hassle of collecting debts worth 200 thousand marks.

A win-win business idea for Enne Burda

According to Enne herself, if it were not for problems in her personal life, she would never have created Burda Moden. She had very little idea of ​​publishing, but her anger at her husband gave her strength. She also had a win-win idea for a business that was literally on the surface. It was Enne Burda who was able to think of it and implement it.

The idea was the following - in the post-war years, women were sorely lacking new clothes. There was no money for an atelier; ready-made clothes were incredibly expensive. Fortunately, the fabrics were quite affordable, but few knew how to sew professionally. Women wore altered pre-war clothes, and the female soul asked for a holiday.

Enne did not put things off for a long time - she attracted the best specialists in clothing design and pattern development. She even lured graphic artist Oswald Moser from her husband’s publishing house. And a year later, in 1950, the first issue of the magazine was published Burda Moden. Its main difference from other fashion magazines was its simple and very accurate life-size patterns. Any woman could sew her own outfits using them. Needless to say, how successful Burda Moden magazine became among German women!

Of course, Burda Moden magazine soon had competitors, but none of them could compete with the sophistication and simplicity of clothing models, as well as with the accuracy of patterns. Ideal patterns are the main trump card of Enne Burda's magazines. Sewed, dressed and went! Regardless of whether you try patterns for evening dresses, coats, trousers, jackets, jackets or even wedding dresses, the result will be the same - the finished product will fit perfectly and practically without trying on. The dream of women in Germany (and not only) has come true - now you can save a lot on dressmakers and be always fashionably dressed.

From the author:
My acquaintance with Burda Moden magazines occurred in the late seventies. Several issues of the magazine from 1970-71 (in German and French), already pretty shabby, with torn covers, were kept in our house (they still exist!). My parents brought them from a business trip abroad. The magazines were not lying around idle - my mother used them to cover herself and the whole family.

According to rumors, one of the female models in Burda Moden was Enne Burda herself. Well, it's quite possible. On the pages of these issues there is a middle-aged woman with an impeccable figure and appearance, but I cannot judge whether this is really Anne.

The second meeting with Burda Moden took place in the late 80s, when the magazine came to the USSR. But that's a different story.

Burda Moden - economic expansion in action

At first, the Burda Moden magazine consisted exclusively of clothing models for women (those were the issues of the 70s at my house). In the 80s, Enne Burda adopted the tactics of competitors, for example, the magazine Modische Maschen, and expanded the topics for publication.

In Burda Moden, models of children's and men's clothing, advice on home economics, cooking, and handicrafts appeared. This is exactly how Soviet women saw Burda Moden. The first issue of the Russian-language version was released on March 8, 1987 with a circulation of 100 thousand copies. And it was the best gift for International Women's Day that you can imagine!

Yes, yes, we remember this sensational event very well. The dream magazine of all Soviet fashionistas began to be published in Russian. A television program “Burda Moden Presents” appeared with video tutorials on sewing. But that’s not all - the Burda Moden publishing house began to publish a number of women’s magazines in the USSR, and then in the CIS countries.

Of course, at first, the Russian-language versions of Burda Moden magazine were noticeably different from the foreign ones. And there was no secret about it. To make the magazine as affordable as possible, we had to reduce the number of pages, use lower quality paper, etc. But even in its “lite” form, this magazine was in steady demand.

Enne Burda - a woman legend

So, Enne Burda once again famously beat her competitors and was the first to “stake out” an enviable piece of the market with millions of grateful readers. She acted directly through the government of the country (according to rumors, with the support of the wife of the first president of the USSR, Raisa Gorbacheva). Needless to say, at 78 years old, Enna had plenty of energy and business acumen! And she still looked the same - “like a million dollars”; it was impossible to guess her exact age.

Almost until the mid-90s, Enne personally wrote an editorial column for Burda Moden magazine and participated in the management of the publishing house. Then she handed over the business to her youngest son, Hubert, and in 1994, the Burda Moden publishing house became part of the large media concern Hubert Burda Media. It was this year that the magazine began to be published in China. As in the USSR, it became the first Western magazine published in the country.

Having retired, long since a grandmother and great-grandmother, Anne took up painting. For her 95th birthday, one of the streets of her native Offenburg was solemnly named Enne Burda Alley. For the 100th anniversary of this legendary woman, a memoir book “Anne Burda: Burda Moden is me!” was written. (by Ute Dahmen).

Magazine Burda Moden currently renamed to Burda Fashion. He has largest circulation in the world among women's magazines and is published in 120 countries.

BURDA ANNA MAGDALENA (ENNE)

BURDA ANNA MAGDALENA (ENNE)

(b. 1909 – d. 2005)

Famous fashion designer, creator of the world's largest fashion magazine publishing house.

The life of this extraordinary woman could be considered a textbook example of how to achieve success. Enne Burda has clearly demonstrated through her career that for any woman who loves her job, takes a responsible approach to her work and strives to achieve a lot in life, nothing is impossible... “After all, in the end,” said Enne, “only smart women really achieve success.” . Is she right in her statement? Undoubtedly!

Anna Magdalena Lemminger, whom the world will know as Anne Burda, was born on July 28, 1909 in the small town of Offenburg in southwestern Germany, in the family of a railway driver. After graduating from school, the girl, whose family name was none other than Enne, entered a trade school, and having received the desired diploma, she immediately decided to decide on her marital status and married the owner of a small book printing house, Franz Burda, who also had a doctorate degree. True, this worthy townsman did not have much cash... But this fact did not stop Enne, and she soon changed her last name.

It so happened that the decisive Enne always had her own opinion about everything. This also applied to the definition of “good fashion”: things, according to Frau Burda, simply must make a person the way he wants to see himself. This idea first occurred to the girl at the age of 17 - and turned into her own style. The easiest way to achieve the desired result is to learn how to sew yourself and invent clothes according to your own taste, imagination and financial capabilities. And dreaming about fabulously expensive things from world-famous couturiers, without having the means to live a normal life, is simply stupid. It’s strange, but such a practical belief at that time was almost revolutionary! And this despite the fact that the very concept of “fashion” is translated from Latin as “measure”, “image”, “way”, “rule”, “norm”...

It is interesting that, despite her enormous creative potential, Frau Burda became involved in entrepreneurship in the fashion industry only at... 40 years old. Enne's career began when she gave her name to a publishing house that opened in 1949. Then Burda headed a small, bankrupt enterprise, from which no one expected anything. The woman decided that in the future the publication would be based solely on the independent creativity of her compatriots. So in 1950, the publishing house published the first issue of the illustrated monthly “Burda Fashionable”, equipped with patterns from which readers could independently sew the models they liked. Naturally, such “tips” were not intended for professionals, but amateur dressmakers appreciated the innovation: now, based on their personal tastes and ideas, and also taking into account not only the features of the figure, but also the available funds, women could choose the desired style and choose the appropriate fabric. The magazine also made extensive use of high-quality photographs - it was they, according to Burda's idea, that should inspire dressmakers and encourage them to create independently. From that moment, in fact, the career of the German self-taught fashion designer began, and the era of Burda began in the world...

Enne's magazines were incredibly popular. Three years later, the project crossed the borders of Germany and took on an international scope. In 1953, the first issue of Burda International was published. And in 1965, the circulation of one of the most popular fashion magazines exceeded one million copies. Since then, Enne has never tired of urging her readers to stop mindlessly copying models from the catwalks, where everything is “a little too much,” and to trust their own taste more. “Sometimes it’s better to swim against the current,” the fashion designer warned.

By the way, Burda once dreamed that her publication would win a wide audience in the USSR. And she managed to ensure that in 1987, Burda Moden, the first Western magazine, began to be published in Russian and reached our mothers and grandmothers (more on this below). Somewhat later, in 1994, Enne’s brainchild conquered China...

Having started working in the development of clothing models, Anne decided to move to New York in search of new opportunities for her business. The woman opened her own small boutique in Manhattan. The atmosphere of the establishment was quite shabby, but Frau Burda did not lose optimism. She personally checked each individual item for suitability and effectiveness and, in addition, she herself served as an excellent advertisement for her own product: the owner of the store, having tried on another item of clothing, appeared in it a couple of times in public places, getting people interested and gradually forming that very “fashion for millions.” ”, which made Enne magazine so popular.

Burda has always created very practical models, distinguished by their simplicity of cut and at the same time sporty elegance and style. Is the magazine aimed at women? Well, you need to take care of the femininity of the proposed items. Are the publication used mainly by self-taught people? Then the patterns should be technically perfect!

Anne was very concerned about how her contemporaries looked. She simply reached a state of white heat when she saw an ugly or carelessly dressed woman on the street. “I want to send her home immediately - to change clothes!” – the fashion designer admitted. Actually, her magazine is designed to help everyone find their own image, become more beautiful, more elegant, more confident and... happier. It must be said that Enne Burda succeeded in achieving her goal: most of her regular readers successfully created their own unique style, combining their main profession and such a useful hobby, turning into recognized and authoritative fashion designers for their family members and acquaintances.

Thanks to her absolutely fantastic performance, drive and creative approach to business, Frau Burda, one might say, turned into an “empress”: her “Burda Modena” is published in 100 countries and printed in 20 languages, and the enterprise that she led with her husband is thriving . Despite the well-established business, Enne continued to work hard, only occasionally allowing herself to go on vacation to Sicily - her favorite corner of the planet. At the same time, away from business, this woman preferred silence, solitude and leisurely long walks, reading poetry, and getting acquainted with objects of art. By the way, Enne most often vacationed in the winter, when there are not many tourists in Sicily: even for this sociable and energetic lady, the bustle, the endless race at work, communication with a huge number of people over the year caused a feeling of deep fatigue, and in addition - a burning desire to go somewhere - further away, into peace and quiet... True, this mood could not last long for Enne, so her vacation never dragged on: having taken a breath of the desired air of idleness and loneliness, she again returned to active activity, and each time - with new ideas and a whole a stack of sketches of original clothing designs.

As often happens in big business, the son of a successful entrepreneur, Hubert Burda, continued his parent's business. After completing secondary education, the guy became a student at the University of Munich - he was attracted to art history and archeology. But having received his diploma, in 1966 the young man, without further ado, went to work at his parents’ enterprise: nepotism comes first! True, their heir did not even suspect that he would be able to achieve no less success in life than Enne and Franz. Success awaited him in the field of the magazine business; after Franz's death, Hubert inherited his publishing business (15 German magazines and two printing houses in Germany and France). Burda Jr. managed to turn his father’s “base” into the transnational media concern Hubert Burda Media, one of the four media giants in Germany, with an annual turnover of more than two billion euros. The entrepreneur's 7,500 employees are satisfied with the working conditions and the scope of the business itself: the concern publishes more than 230 magazines, and only 70 of them are published in Germany. Hubert owns such famous international brands as Elle (Germany, Slovenia) and InStyle (in Germany), Playboy (in Russia, Germany and Slovenia), Men's Health (in Slovenia, Serbia), Cosmopolitan (in Slovenia, Serbia) and a number of others . Its own brands (which include most of the group's publications) include the popular magazines Lisa, Focus and Bunte. Over time, Hubert Burda Media opened its publications and representative offices in the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Serbia and Montenegro, Russia, Croatia, Slovenia, and Kazakhstan. It was thanks to the assertiveness and business acumen of her son that Frau Burda was able to fulfill her dream and in 1987, as already mentioned, she began publishing the Burda Fashion magazine in the USSR. This is how the cult Western fashion publication reached the countries of Eastern Europe, appearing on free sale.

The name Enne Burda has become for many women a symbol of style, optimism and change for the better. The designer's publication and her ideas gained particular popularity in the USSR after the establishment of the All-Russian Competition of Amateur Tailors. Only non-professionals (people who do not have special education in the field of modeling, design and sewing) had the opportunity to receive the Frau Burda Prize. By the way, all participants in the final received special prizes, and the winners went to the European final of the competition. And, I must say, thanks to the skills acquired from the specialists who created Burda Fashion, the contestants presented amazing models to the authoritative jury, many of which would have done honor to the most famous couturier...

Anne Burda died in November 2005 in Germany at the age of 97.

Anna Magdalena Lemminger, called Enne at home, was born on July 28, 1909 in the family of a railway driver in the town of Offenburg in southwestern Germany.

After graduating from trade school, Anne married Franz Burda. Franz had a doctorate and a small book printing house, but he had no money. Despite this, she married this Franz Burda.

They were both equally poor. But this did not mean at all that she had no desires. She wanted to be a mother, but not a housewife.

Already at the age of 17, she knew what good fashion should be: it should show a person himself - the way he wants to see himself. It’s pointless to dream of expensive outfits from Dior without having a penny to your name, but you can sew for yourself, to your taste and for your own money. It was a truly revolutionary idea - and exactly the kind of idea that was needed at that moment!

In 1949, the entrepreneur, who began her career at the age of 40, gave her name to a new publishing house. In 1950, the first issue of the illustrated monthly Burda Moden was published.

Within fifteen years its circulation will reach a million copies.

Arriving in New York, she opened a small boutique in Manhattan. Here, in a squalid environment, with the dim lighting of the fitting rooms, this woman, who could afford everything, never tired of trying on models, checking them for suitability and effectiveness. She didn’t just grab what she liked, she tried on every thing, bought it, went out in it a couple of times - and thus found herself on a direct line with that fashion for millions that made Burda Fashion so popular.

Today, the Burda Fashion magazine is published in almost 100 countries in 20 languages.
