Igor Yourievitch Ostasenko-Bogdanoff and Grichka Yourievitch Ostasenko-Bogdanoff, (or Bogdanov) (born on 29 August 1949 in Saint-Lary, Gers, France) are French TV personalities and producers, scientific essayists and who since the 1970s have presented various subjects in science fiction, cosmology and popular science. They were involved in a number of controversies, most notably what is known as the Bogdanov affair. Igor and Grichka Bogdnaoff are non-identical twin brothers born to Youra Mikhaïlovitch Ostasenko-Bogdanoff (1928-2012), Russian painter of Tatar origin and known through ancestry as Prince Bogdanoff, and to "Maya" Maria Dolores Franzyska Kolowrat-Krakowská (1926-1982), daughter of an Austrian aristocrat. Igor was the first born and his brother Grichka was born 40 minutes later. They were raised as children by their maternal grandmother Bertha Kolowrat-Krakowská, in her own castle. Called Istène, she was a polyglot who allegedly spoke 12 languages. The twins spoke German, also learning French, Russian and English. The housekeepers and the workers in the castle came from various nationalities and the twins learnt various languages through contacts with them. As young children, they had access to the rich multilingual library of the castle developing early on a great interest in astronomy. They were enrolled in the military school in Sorèze, and they got their baccalaureate degree early on at age 14, when they left le Gers to live in Paris. Their passion in Paris included gliding and driving planes and helicopters. Igor claimed having flown 4000 hours in flying until 2014, which resulted in penalties imposed on him for having inflated and misrepresented his actual flying hours. Igor Bogdanoff received a Diplôme d'Études Approfondies (DEA) in Semiology and a doctorate in Theoretical Physics whereas Grichka Bogdanoff earned a diploma at Institut d'Études Politiques (IEP) in Paris (Sciences-Po), and a doctorate in Mathematics. ==Television shows== In 1976, after they jointly published their first book ''Clefs pour la science-fiction''. Roland Barthes wrote the introduction which was also published in the respected literary publication ''La Quinzaine littéraire''. They were interviewed on Antenne 2 programme ''Un sur Cinq'' hosted by Patrice Laffont and where they presented a feature on science fiction. They moved later to TF1, interviewed by Yves Mourousi on TF1 who proposed them a regular science fiction section on his weekly ''Bon appétit'', concentrating on robots and extraterrestrial phenomenon. This way a TV career was launched and they went on to have their own popular shows like ''Temps X''. They later on produced and hosted two other scientific shows: ''2002 – L'Odyssée du Futur'' in 1982 and ''Futur's'', a weekly show in 1989. Other shows included Projet X 13 on 13ème Rue Universal and a shorter show ''Rayon X'' on France 2 and in 2008, ''Science X'' and ''Science 2'' also on France 2. But these shows received increasingly negative reviews from more established scientific publications resulting in ''Science X'' being discontinued. In 2010, they returned with a new scientific TV magazine ''À deux pas du futur'' on France 2 rebroadcast in 2011 on France 5. The Bogdanoff brothers preside on a chair of Cosmology at the private Megatrend University of Belgrade. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Igor and Grichka Bogdanoff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
