Andrey Levkin: Propaganda for two

Andrey Levkin

History from I. Davydov . A young man comes to him, as an employer, ending the journalism faculty of Moscow State University. Try a newsletter. Reports that it has experience. He receives a test task - choose the news to taste, and state it as the news should be presented. Further: " Diligently writes something within a few hours. Gives the text to the page." The reasons for the success of Vladimir Putin. "The lead is about this:" Russia finally rose from the knees, getting rid of the nineties nightmare. And this is the personal merit of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. What is the secret of his success? “The following are meaningful reasoning that revealing the secret. It consists of approximately that Putin always“ looked against the general background of a noble knight. Even in the program "Dolls", which, of course, made scum and villains. "

Bottom line: " The young man in some bewilderment goes to ... it is written on his face -" I will complain "... The person was asked to write news. News. Zhurhant of Moscow State University ."

The second story, from Novaya Gazeta . In "Alexander House" FEP CEO Kirill Tanaev talked with representatives of the Studsoyuz of the journalism department of Moscow State University. Age: From the new academic year, the faculty will operate the Laboratory of Public Dialogue (Lod) - a discussion platform for representatives of the authorities, organized by FEP. According to Tanaev (in the program of Novaya Gazeta), the Federal Penitentiary Service " participates in political and ideological planning, and actually works as one of the departments of the Presidential Administration of Russia ." So, Tanaev believes that the Kremlin point of view is not adequately represented. " That is why students of the Faculty of Journalism will learn to understand what is arranged in Russia ." Not only students, Tanaev expressed a desire (intention?) Translations for teachers. In addition, students will read the " Special Dourse of Modest Kolirova", which "was engaged in the fight against the consequences of color revolutions." Another idea will be concerned that "the chief editor of the portal Kremlin. Org Pavel Danilin will read a special course about modern propaganda ."

Of course, by comparing two these facts can be fun. Why teach propaganda at the journalism, when everything is in order with her there? On the other hand, the same I. Davidov could create a picture for his project on the theme "Tanaev, Danilin and Krerov to promote the journalism faculty of Moscow State University." But in itself, the fact of teaching propaganda at the journalism factory is not bad, he expands the horizons, as he would expand the special course of murders for students of medical institutes. There are no complaints in fact.

Question two, both technical. The first - to whom the propaganda should actually be addressed, the second - what issues does she actually solve?

According to the first: well, apparently, who will already fall on. In some cases (see the first story), this hit does not affect the career prospects of the victim in the best way. Where then to go to the Socialist graduate of the journalism factory, because the book "His ideology" has already been written?

The second question. What kind of tasks are solved by the use of propaganda? For example, the last disasters. The Kremlin point of view was not particularly stated here. Even the right view on the topic of state corporations was not particularly propagated, if, of course, it is available. If you look at what political science debate has been going on in the vicinity of PEP, then the result is curious. 10 years of Putin in power (Verkhovna), expertistry, Mr. Schmitt, who was replaced by Mr. Kant. All this, there are no other words, extremely urgently from the point of view of the ideological nourishment of the masses.

Cool, Danilin is going to read a special propaganda course. Here is his “ Kremlin.org ” in Rambler: “ Statistics [as of 08/26/2009 23:17:21]. Resource: Kremlin.org: National Project" Elections ": the main page - visitors today: 204 ". Will this specialist train to promote others?

Yes, at the same time, why the hell had to be ruined by the “Russian magazine”, narrowing it to the same political factory plus thought about the eternal? Bottom line: "Statistics [as of 08/26/2009 23:10:42] Resource: Russian magazine: Surkov and questions of art of art. The main page is visitors today: 889 ". What was the propaganda meaning of castration of a real project?

But one successful propaganda topic was. The anniversary of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Yes, it is difficult to find anything more relevant for the population of the power. And, of course, this propaganda is immediately taken to influence life. On September 1, in Gdansk they will somehow celebrate the 70th anniversary of the beginning of the Second World War, at the same time, the anniversary of the signing of the aforementioned Pact. The leaders of the war member states will come. In particular, Merkel and Putin. At the same time, Putin has already stated that the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was a historical necessity and was a reaction to the signing of the Munich agreement, which allowed Germany to annex Czechoslovakia. So there the Kremlin point of view will be presented adequately. It is very useful, since Putin will be offered to visit a photo exhibition, where they show photos of the signing of the Pact and, at the same time, "The Invasions of the Red Army in Poland on September 17, 1939." But Putin is already ready and knows what to answer!

Another example of successful propaganda from FEP: " On June 22, the site Liberty.ru with the support of the first video company, Rambler.ru, the Historical Memory Foundation and the Young Guard of United Russia holds a member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation Alexei Chadaev ." From the press release: “ That war, alas, was not the latter for Russia. We are a country that occupies 1/7 of the inhabited land. On our land-about 30% of world wealth. But our population is only 1% of the population of the planet, and our economy is 1.5% of the world. This one makes Russia a country that cannot but have enemies.”

So, the war is inevitable, defense is difficult due to the number of population and the quality of the economy. Strange propaganda, purely amazing. This site is also from marginal, but the main thing is that Putin is convinced by Putin, here Medvedev too. After a meeting with the Buddhists, he said so in the Ulan-Uda about the Sayano-Shushenka: “ A lot of apocalyptic comments appeared on this subject both in our country and abroad. Their meaning is reduced to one thing: everyone, they sailed-this is the beginning of the technological end of Russia, the Chernobyl of the 21st century. The hands began to rub those who do not like Russia within the current borders and its role in the international arenas .”

Of course, all these are “enctors”, however, “ technologically, we really are very far behind,” after which there was a call to work on overcoming the technological lag, otherwise “ all the threats that they are talking about can become real .” But who says, actually? Unless the above press release with the theme of the short war of Russia is quite expecting the latter, in the form of an apocalypse on a raw material topic. So yes, propaganda still works. Only very selectively - for the aforementioned two. Well, for ourselves, perhaps.

And in order not to escalate apocalyptic sentiments here - this is propaganda in an artistic form, positive in content.
