Lev Volkovich Rossoshik was born on December 21, 1946 in Gorky (today it's Nizhny Novgorod).
Lev Volkovich Rossoshik combined successfully studies at the French Department of the Translation Faculty with work in the Gorky youth newspaper "Leninskaya Smena". Thanks to his initiative was created the international department "Planet", which existed almost until the closure of the newspaper in the 1990s. In the late 1960s, with reference to the 50th anniversary of the Komsomol, was announced a competition for the local youth press for the best coverage of the campaign "Youth Unmasking Imperialism", and the weekly "Planeta” strip, which was exclusively made by students of Gorky's Language University led by Rossoshik. His weekly became the owner of the main prize. Of course, his cooperation continued with "Sovietski Sport".
After graduation, he was left at the institute as a professor at the Department of French Language and Translation, but journalism encouraged him more, and after 2 years of being as a professor, he went to work in Gorky's "youth", in which he began his journalistic career.
In the spring of 1973, after moving to Moscow, the question of finding a job arose again. Lev Volkovich was a well-known freelance author to all members of the editorial board of "Sovietski Sport". Nevertheless his fame didn’t give an opportunity to join the staff in the newspaper. It happened because of powerful "kadrovichka" (HR-manager). He was printed in many publishing centers, almost in all central newspapers, in magazines "Phiskultura y sport", "Selskaya molodezh', "Sportivnayazhizn Rossii", etc. It’s was a pity that he hadn’t published his articles in "Pravda", but he wrote essays for collections and yearbooks. In 1975, he was invited to work with recreated weekly "Sportivnaya Moskva" (it’s an appendix to the newspaper "Moskovskaya Pravda").
Rossoshik was one of the authors who compiled multilingual dictionaries for sports that were very popular among participants and guests of the Olympic Games in Moscow. In 1970s, Lev showed himself on the one hand, he became a full-time author of the newsreels "Sovietski Sport" and a screenwriter of a number of documentary films;later some of them were awarded prizes at the All-Union Film Festivals of sports tapes. Actually, on the eve of the Games-80 Rossoshik had to change work again.
In this moment support came from fellow countrymen who worked in the newspaper "Vodni transport". In 1982, he moved to the recreated magazine "Olympskaya panorama", in another 5 years to the long-awaited "Sovietski sport" (by this time the "kadrovichka" mentioned above retired, and Gorbachev's perestroika changed a lot in relations between people). He obtained a position of a member of the editorial board, the Chief of the department of journalism and actual reporting.
Lev Rossoshik repeatedly managed the press centers at the largest competitions in the country, including the "Peoples’Sports and Athletics Meeting of the USSR", was elected to the presidiums of the All-Union Fencing and Volleyball Federations. He was an initiator in creation of the Volleyball Commission of the International Association of the Sports Press. He was it supervisor for 13 years. He also worked in the Press Commission of the International Volleyball Federation for the time. Today Lev Rossoshik was elected Vice-President of the Federation of Sports Journalists of Russia and the All-Russian Volleyball Federation.
Over 40 years of journalistic work, he covered the Olympic Games in Moscow, Seoul, Albertville, Atlanta, Sydney, Salt Lake City and Athens, World and European championships in more than 30 sports. Lev Volkovich Rossoshik was only the one Russian journalist, whohad toured the largest professional cycling race "Tour de France" and he did reports and interviews with participants which were included in the author's book "Tightened with the Big Loop".
