Savik Shuster (Russian: Савик Шустер; Ukrainian: Савік Шустер; born Ševelis Šusteris; November 22, 1952) is a journalist and television anchor. He presented The Freedom By Savik Shuster,[1] and starting in 2005, Svoboda slova,[2] on ICTV. Since December 2015, he produces and leads political talk shows on his independent 3S.tv, after he has been cancelled from several tycoon-owned channels.[3] In December 2016, 3S.tv announced it had ceased its activities, and on 1 March 2017, the channel stopped broadcasting. According to an official statement, the reason was that the business was no longer viable due to several litigations and corresponding financial constraints.[3] All court cases were subsequently closed. In 2019, Shuster came back to Ukraine as the anchor of Svoboda slova Savika Shustera on the Ukraina television channel.[4]

From 2001 to 2004, Shuster presented talk shows on the Russian channel NTV.[5]

Shuster holds Canadian and Italian citizenships.[2][6]
