Burning heart

Every person is not simple, only scrape, here Dmitry Kiselev, a living legend of Russian television, turned out to be essentially a Westerner. And the fact that many of us consider him stupid and stubborn, that is, he is not guilty of the convinced propagandist of the Russian world and World War II. We, the audience, are to blame, with our short memory.

We completely forgot that he stood at the origins of the free Russian television broadcasting, then he cut a “window to Europe” and literally yesterday, a few years ago, successfully spun in other people's embassies and walked like a buffet, in America with the money of the State Department. He is very wide, our famous TV presenter, and is very mistaken by the one who is his opinion about Dmitry Konstantinovich based on his current fiery monologues. Monologists monologues, and he is a complex person. With a double bottom (as before, they wrote about crooks and spies), but in a good way.

Once, accepting a new position and getting acquainted with the team of the abolished edition of RIA Novosti, he even opened his soul slightly and told something about himself. On the television screen, Kiselev said, he sometimes looks “frightening”, but there is no need to be afraid of him. This is just a "television image that involves a certain theatricality, a certain drama, a certain grotesque." The form, they say, is provocative, although it is not a provocateur. He just loves his homeland, which is why he is biased, and a dumbfounded team calls for the same passionate bias. An objective person, as follows from the speech of the general director, cannot and will not be fired at the workplace. His words, by the way, did not disperse with the deed, he dispersed the editors, but this is another plot.

In short, the flowering complexity of Kiselev boils down to the fact that television for him is a scene where he willingly loses the human appearance, haggard the audience with wild gestures, urging the hearts of gays and sprinkling America with radioactive ash. And in everyday life, pacing along the corridors of the editorial office or conducting weekends in the family circle, does not throw a nuclear threat at people. On the stage, he works out the role, playing, say, Goebbels or there is a stirehera. When the ramp’s lights go out, the TV presenter, without even straining, turns into a person again. Western type, and talking in four languages, enthusiastic about jazz.

Now he again showed himself a terribly civilized master - unlike many other artists who are honored and undeserved under sanctions. They behave more or less the same. Almost everyone is proud of such an honor, but then they usually do not develop the topic, tolerate, and with rather terrible words they repose the soulless West, where they still hope to get out or even occasionally selected as part of delegations. Or they break through the humanitarian gap in weak European hearts, as Joseph Kobzon succeeded.

Kiselev also first said that he was proud of "that he was on the list," he spoke a year ago, paying tribute to the ritual. However, a year later, as if coming from the stage, he committed an act worthy of a true European. Where there is a stratera, it is ridiculous to even compare. He and after the trial, before the gallows, praised the national leader. And Dmitry Konstantinovich himself sued his executioners. As a civilized person for whom the law and the court, especially European, is something sacred. Kiselev - he is numb before European law.

There are six points, in a statement of claim, and each is worthy of a benevolent study, but two arguments that will probably fight the judges sound more convincing than others. Firstly, the plaintiff rightly indicates that he fell under the sanctions for the expression of his political position as a journalist, that is, his sacred right to freedom of expression was violated. Secondly, he never supported the "deployment of Russian troops in Ukraine", as falsely indicated in the decision of the EU Council.

And there is nothing to object here. Whatever Kiselev called to burn, no matter what country he converted to a radioactive ash, no matter what nations he pulled, no matter what hatred in the zombie, this was his personal, suffered opinion, for which the freestyle was subjected to unreasonable repressions. Well, with Ukraine, too, everything is clear. The plaintiff was terribly rejoiced at the deployment of our green men in the Crimea, but is Crimea is Ukraine? They offended a person for nothing, in fact subjected to house arrest beyond the borders of America and the EU.

It is clear that this is an action agreed with the highest authorities - the filing of the claim to the European court. No wonder he has been waiting for permission to sue Europe for so long, from March last year to May, and then he somehow did not advertise his step, he was embarrassed, and he probably spends money on British lawyers. But it was Kiselev who spends them and, having linked his personal resentment with the wishes of the Kremlin, where he is listed as the president’s favorite journalist, tries to troll foreign judges. And deep down, of course, he thinks and dreams of something completely different.

He thinks about those times when Russia, as they say, will become free and they will remind him of how to rage in the studio, and he will answer. Exactly with the same words that the general director pronounced when taking up the post. Right on the points that he settled, polemicizing with the persecutors of the free word in Europe. He learns this new, human role and will probably play it with brilliance, waving his arms, or even pressing them to the place where people have a living heart. I hope that they will not believe him, the Westernik, or even only completely heartless citizens will be lustration. Cruel, ignorant, wild, do not understand anything in theatrical art. We will not call them Europeans in any way.
