A war correspondent is a journalist who covers stories firsthand from a war zone. They were also called special correspondents in the 19th century.

Their jobs require war correspondents to deliberately go to the most conflict-ridden parts of the world. Once there they attempt to get close enough to the action to provide written accounts, photos, or film footage. Thus, being a war correspondent is often considered the most dangerous form of journalism. On the other hand, war coverage is also one of the most successful branches of journalism. Newspaper sales increase greatly in wartime and television news ratings go up. News organizations have sometimes been accused of militarism because of the advantages they gather from conflict. William Randolph Hearst is often said to have encouraged the Spanish–American War for this reason. (See Yellow journalism)

Only some conflicts receive extensive worldwide coverage, however. Among recent wars, the Kosovo War received a great deal of coverage, as did the Persian Gulf War. Many third-world wars, however, tend to receive less substantial coverage because corporate media are often less interested, the lack of infrastructure makes reporting more difficult and expensive, and the conflicts are also far more dangerous for war correspondents.

Mikhail Savin was born in 1915. The first shots taken in 1941. He managed to take a picture moment of Soviet Union troops withdrewing, he also managed to capture the moment of Moscow defence force, Kursk battle, Soviet attack in Europe etc.

It is said that he has a talisman which he believes can help him in difficult moments. namely a ceramic ring that is used to hang the curtain.

All his work is one of the best as a professional.
