The relevance of the study is due to the need to broaden the scientific discourse in the field of political journalism with information on the foundations of European professionals; its main goal was to identify the components of the creative method of O.

During the study, the following methods were used: 1) biographical analysis (for the reconstruction of the life and creative path); 2) chronological analysis (to reproduce the chronology of a professional career); 3) systematization (to organize the creative heritage, professional views, reviews of creativity); 4) differentiation (to determine the thematic and genre features of the creative heritage); 5) semantic analysis (for studying the content of publicistic texts); 6) psychological analysis (for assessing political communication during a political interview).
