Ilya Krasilshchik: biography and photos

Ilya Krasilshchik is an experienced publisher of the relatively young Internet resource "Medusa". Today, this is a successful and cheerful person whose career path was far from simple and smooth. More about his take-off on the career ladder, interesting fate, hobbies and life priorities, we will tell further.

Background from biography

Ilya Krasilchik (biography He is full of surprises ) was born in the average metropolitan family of mathematics on April 10, 1987. Since my childhood I did not stand out very much and was a modest child. Like most of his peers, he graduated from the Moscow Gymnasium No. 1513 and decided to apply to the university.

Following his classmates, along with them entered the RSUH (Russian State Humanitarian University). Originally it was the faculty of artificial intelligence and linguistics.

When our hero realized that exact sciences, like programming, were not his path, he immediately transferred to the Faculty of History and Philology. Ilya Krasilshchik himself says that at that time he really liked the story. Therefore, the change of the training course was painless and promised a lot of changes in the life of a young and promising specialist.

However, due to too erratic character and passes Ilya Iosifovich did not finish his studies. According to the teachers, he was expelled directly from the fifth year of the university.

The first steps in publishing

Ilya Krasilshchik began his first steps in publishing as an ordinary proofreader in a virtual publication called Polit.ru. In early 2003, he wanted to create his own music Internet resource, dedicated to Muscience. True, he was amateur, but the number of unique visitors grew day by day.

New musical passion

Inspired by the first successes, the young man went in search of a new job. This time, he decided to try himself in the role of a music columnist. And in early 2004, Ilya got a job at Svuki.ru, where he gained experience, although he worked very little. In the same year, Ilya Iosifovich went to Yandex, where he was invited to a managerial post. But here the young man was not destined to "take root".

Promising work in "Afisha"

In early 2005, he was offered to become an observer of another magazine - Afisha. Who would have thought that it was this change of job that would have a positive impact on his career. So, at 21, Ilya Krasilshchik, unexpectedly for himself, became the editor of the website afisha.ru. A little later he already headed the magazine Afisha itself.

Starting from 2008, Ilya went on promotion and became already the editor-in-chief of the publication. From the beginning of July 2013, the Dyer was removed from his post. He was succeeded by Alexander Gorbachev, before acting as his deputy. The very same Krasilshchik took the place of director for the promotion of the official production of "Afisha".

The next change of place of residence and work

After a while, the magazine Afisha ceased to interest Ilya. Because of certain disagreements in the team, she was forced to leave her post. The loud dismissal was followed by the departure from the country. As it turned out, he was waiting for a new fateful turn. At that time, Ilya moved to Riga, where he became publisher of the joint Russian-Latvian edition of Meduza.

Impressions of "Afisha"

Despite the fact that our hero has long left his homeland, he still remembers his once-beloved magazine "Afisha". According to him, Ilya was assigned to the post of editor and was to issue a new web-resource of the publication. But the time of its launch, according to the hero, was somewhat prolonged. But he managed to get to know one of the founding fathers of "Afisha". It was Ilya Tsentsiper.

Over time, this friendship allowed Ilya to get an unexpected boost. From that moment on he became the chief editor. As Krasilshchik says, initially it was a shock and a kind of euphoria. But then he had to prove his proficiency not in word, but in deed, which was very difficult. However, our hero is grateful to all the employees of "Afisha", with whom he was lucky enough to work. It was they, and not the teachers from his former university, who became real teachers for him. For this he is very grateful.

Change of leadership in "Afisha" and an easy shock

Since Ilya Krasil'shchik literally got used to the publishing house Afisha, it was hard for him to observe the change in the staff that took place in December 2015. At that time, the company's management changed. There was a malfunction of interests, and almost all the former employees came under the distribution (they were reduced and deprived of any place of work).

This event so impressed the hero that he wrote about this a separate article. In it, he remembered about the once friendly team, a little sad and wished good luck to his unemployed colleagues.

Dyer: Meduza

Inspired by the idea of the past work, Ilya Iosifovich decided to create something similar. However, he could not imagine that he would be able to turn the young virtual edition of Medusa into one of the most recognizable representatives of the mass media.

Currently, the project "Medusa" describes various interesting events that have taken place in the world. Here you can find interesting stories from life, non-standard news in the "Shapito" section, play games, pass funny tests, read expert advice on certain issues, chat in chat and ask editorial questions.

Departures and business trips

Despite the fact that at the moment Ilya lives in Riga, he periodically flies to Moscow. The matter is that the "Medusa" office, including its creative team, is located in the capital of the Russian Federation. Therefore, Ilya often travels and trips. It is noteworthy that the hero likes this graph, since in his childhood he dreamed of becoming a famous traveler. And let him realize the plan he was not able to fully, but he still has the opportunity to feel himself a real adventurer.

Family values and married life

Ilya Krasilshchik and Catherine Cronhaus are two loving people, who are bound not only by the bonds of marriage, but also by common interests. Like her husband, Catherine is interested in journalism. Moreover, she is a practicing psychologist, mother of two children and the author of several useful benefits for parents. Together with her husband, they have developed a unique service and a school for the training of the absentee.

What can you learn at the school of the babies?

The idea to organize a school of abstracts came to the spouses completely spontaneously. At one point, when they needed to leave for a couple of hours, and their nurse suddenly fell ill. And then they decided to come up with a service that could pick up temporary nurses for all wishing parents. Unlike nannies, the babies do not work for a monthly salary. Mostly these are students who are planning to earn money on a regular basis.

Babies can stay with their children for only a couple of hours. They entertain them, feed them and have fun. In a word, they help out when parents want, for example, to spend an evening together. However, after long-term testing, anonymous interviews with parents and the candidates themselves, it turned out that the needs of undergraduates need additional training.

According to Catherine, they needed to know how and how to distract the child. They also needed help in resolving conflict situations and other problems. Their training and engaged in the couple Dyers.

At the moment, the Krasil'shchikov family lives in Riga. They promote the site and school of babysitters, cooperate with the charitable portal "Such cases" and work in the publication "Medusa".
