From 2008 until 2022, he hosted the eponymous show Pozner on Russia's Channel One where he interviewed public figures. == Early life and education == Vladimir Pozner was born in Paris on 1 April 1934, to a Russian Jewish father, Vladimir Aleksandrovich Pozner, and a French Catholic mother, Géraldine Lutten.
