Dmitry Shakhmatov is a third-year journalism student at the Russian-Tajik (Slavonic) University. From an early age, he was interested in media: he listened to radio, watched programmes and imitated his favourite presenters. That interest grew into the foundation of his future profession.
Today, Dmitry follows his chosen path with confidence, combining passion with systematic study. At eleven, he dreamed of working in radio and television. The dream briefly moved into the background, but never disappeared. At twenty, he returned to it consciously, applied to several programmes and chose journalism.
Alongside his studies, Dmitry worked as a waiter, learning how to communicate with people and understand an audience. He now combines an active student life with professional growth, studies with distinction, serves as a group leader and is a member of the RTU student council, having previously chaired it.
At Radio Navo, Dmitry is a new voice of a young generation: open, honest and relevant. His broadcasts are energetic, thoughtful and genuinely interested in listeners. He speaks simply but meaningfully, making every appearance a conversation in which the voice of the present can be heard.
Life motto: “If you do not speak, you will not be heard. A word is your chance to be understood.”
