Putin’s proposal to the chief editor of Echo of Moscow, Alexei Venediktov, can be perceived in different ways to become a trustee. As a specific Putin's humor, for example. However, rather, the prime minister was not so joking-he really trusts in his own way a narrow circle of people. And the "opposition" Venedikt elite is not a stranger.
It seems to be known that opposites have the ability to attract. It is another matter when the opposites are generally difficult to suspect of any desire for such an unnatural union. The story retold by the chief of the Komsomolskaya Pravda Sungorkin looks rather funny in this context.
At a meeting with the editors of the media (or rather, on its public part, intended for the rest of the press and the general public), Vladimir Putin, as you know, entered into a dialogue with the editor -in -chief of Echo of Moscow, Alexei Venediktov. And it was evident that this dialogue was not very glued: Putin is not very comfortable for Venediktov, but Venediktov Putin. As a result, a natural booth came out. Putin somewhere he heard Echo and realized that he was "watered with diarrhea from morning to evening." And he told me even extensively why they work poorly and even unprofessional at the radio stations. At least on the topic of the European Pro.
It would seem: here it is, a complete rejection of someone else's point of view and not even very well hidden contempt for journalists. And it is probably even fair, but then there was already a stacked part of the dialogue, during which, as Sungorkin said, Putin suddenly suggested that the Echo’s chief editor become his confidant in the elections. There, of course, not only Venediktov is supposed. There are several hundred people, but the offer still looks strange in context.
On the air of the “echo” of the current prime minister, they really do not complain, the nuclear audience of the radio station really “douses” him (“slop”, of course, is not “diarrhea”, but not the point). In response, the standard Putin supporter, of whom is definitely no less than the listeners of the Echo, Venediktov personally do not like his radio station. The Posoputin "ours" completely regularly arranged Echo pickets for and without reason. In general: there are natural ideological opponents.
In Venediktov’s program, the dialogue was as follows: “He said:“ And I trust you. Be my confidant person. ” I say: “This is impossible. I don’t even go to vote, how can I be someone else's confidant? ” He says: "But still you think." Sungorkin brought the words a little differently, but the essence is the same.
All sorts of interpretations followed - the journalist of the same “Echo of Moscow” Vladimir Bartholomeev and completely accepted the Putin's speech for a kind of “recruitment”. Which, of course, is unfair to the dialogue. Or they also perceive it as a direct insult to Venediktov. And as an attempt to translate the conversation in a different direction, putting Venediktov in the position of justification. Or was this a specific premiere joke? All interpretations are good, but a little romanticizing the image of both “wrestlers” and “tyrants”.
Venediktov himself spoke in an interview with Rain that Putin was quite capable of dialogue, and he was ready to criticize and recognizes the premiere of it. He takes the premiere for a conversation partner, so to speak.
And he frankly like to retell "Dialogues with Putin." “For example, in a conversation at Echo a year and a half ago, it was about Hamas and Ukraine, and Alexei Venediktov suddenly correlated with a different situation. “You know (turning to the host), I had a story with Vladimir Putin, he said:“ Give a word to investors, no one raises his hands. I raise my hand, he says: "But it looks."
The current prime minister can make fun of him (he seems to like it), but does not drive from the yard. And not exclusively by state need - a large audience of Echo, a well -known journalist and so on. And not the “liberal outfit” is the most “echo of Moscow” for Putin, not some imitation, but a media reality that arranges the prime minister. He himself, of course, does not listen, but Venediktov, apparently, is funny to him.
In general, for all his dislike for journalists and other media people, he completely learned to demolish them over ten years and was quite used to the journalists that were always surrounded by him. He refers to media representatives that work in the premier pool, rather as a servant, collapsing personnel. Which is not so far from reality, but far from almost all known interpretations of the role of the media in modern society.
In a broader sense, Venediktov is already Putin's entrusted person. And even more: they even belong to approximately one social group, conditionally - a "big elite."
There, of course, is full of ideological opponents, and some in power, and others outside her. And some others do not digest for personal motives, and naturally the “terrarium of like -minded people”, but still more in common. It is enough to see the photo from the somewhat anniversary of the Echo of Moscow - this is a famous banker, but the former president of the National Republic, and here is the current one. Here is the conditional Boris Nemtsov, and here is the conditional press secretary of the President Natalya Timakova. And everything is more or less comfortable. These are the opposites. Well, just like opponents in the upcoming presidential election.
