Televedel with Andrei Malgin

From Friday to Friday. After the December television thaw at the end of January, we observed a return to the usual temperature. Lesser December protest rallies found propaganda chiefs by surprise, and the first reaction was the weakening of the twisted nuts. And before the New Year, we even saw in the official information programs, where a living mouse has not slipped out for a long time, a kind of objective reports about events. Surkovskaya propaganda was fluent, and Surkov himself left the post of overseer for political and information processes. But as the spilled mercury gathers from small balls, so by about 20 January, everything returned to its circles.

Prime Minister Non-Stop Television had to solve three problems: to promote President Putin candidate, discredit other candidates and mix with mud of the figures of an unsystematic opposition. Receptions used well -known and run -in over the years of the Kremlin violence over television.

For example, there was no day without the election performance by Vladimir Putin, mainly in the format of meetings with voters, although the campaign has not yet been declared. The presence of this candidate on television was total. St. Petersburg, Moscow, Stavropol, Kemerovo, Tomsk ... The prime minister is rapidly moving around the country, meets with workers, kids, journalists, ministers, city authorities, federal migration service-and makes promising statements designed to conquer sympathy.

But what's interesting. Eyewitnesses report that, for example, at the Kemerovo plant, the candidate stayed exactly as many minutes and seconds as the plot lasts at the first in the program “Time”. The workshop, where he spoke to people who were brought from somewhere by bus, was decorated with experienced designers, professional light and sound recording equipment was installed-in fact, it was no longer a workshop, but a survey pavilion. They cooked for several days, and he jumped up for ten minutes, said a small speech, listened to the stormy, long -term applause, passing into applause, and left. Why, one wonders, the candidate Putin not to arrange his events at Mosfilm, where the scenery would be changed daily? Why burn aviation fuel? Today in the pavilion-a plant, tomorrow they built a hospital there, the day after tomorrow-something else. In any case, the mass is imported. At a real factory or university in the presence of real workers and students, after all, they can boil.

Dmitry Medvedev informed the journalism students that the Parliamentary elections were the most pure in the history of Russia Brezhnev Syndrome at one time Leonid Ilyich after 15 years of continuous sitting in the TV, except for nausea, had no longer caused the population. So Vladimir Vladimirovich. He is already shown so many without any measure that the federal channels show us that the people are just tired and in the very first seconds switches to another program. They went too far as they say.

During the week in the news on federal channels, all the ears were searched by: “Honest Elections”, “Clean Elections”. Everywhere Schegolev with his video surveillance system. The work is in full swing, some inconceivable millions have been spent, but everyone already knows that falsifications are passing outside the polling stations. Or Medvedev suddenly declares dumbfounded students of the journalism fact that the past parliamentary elections were "the purest in the history of Russia." They show some kind of “body of observers”, organized by “young lawyers”, in appearance by the Namers. “We say, we will introduce our objective assessment of honest elections to society.” It is clear that they will present if they know in advance that the elections will be honest. By the way, these are the very “young lawyers” who defended Judge Borovkov from “bullying”.

Another story about honesty. United Russia held a round table dedicated to how to make elections honest. The unsystematic opposition did not come there. The United Russian functionary Oleg Morozov in a television interview says: “We are not offended by them. But they did not take advantage of the chance. " Amazing. Thieves are invited to the round table of the robbed. And everything would have gotten away if there were no Internet besides television. But the fact that it exists is not aware of the Kremlin propagandists.

One of the tasks they set for themselves is to compromise the opposition in the eyes of the population as much as possible. Here, of course, every bast in the line. The low -sympathetic face of the Russia 1 channel Sergey Kurginyan, splashing saliva, was taldychit weekly about the "revolution of mink coats." Vladimir Solovyov during the “fight” between Zhirinovsky and Mironov could not restrain himself and in his contemptuous manner exclaimed: “The rich were rich in Sakharov, and the people looked and thought: and ascended to the pitchfork and both.” That is, both the power, and those who are fighting with it. And this is not a reservation, but his consistent position: the opposition is no different from the "crooks and thieves."

On NTV, the Sunday program “Suspicious Recognition” is echoed by them: we were told how the leaders of the unsystematic opposition rested for the New Year - and what kind of money, they say? "An honest person will not work so much." Slistless stories based on the information that the opposition themselves reported about themselves, interspersed with all dirt from the world of show business. Navalny, Chirikova, Nosik, Gudkov went on a par with singer Shura, with Philip Kirkorov and Maxim Galkin. And at the same time, three presidential candidates - Zyuganov, Prokhorov and Zhirinovsky were also abandoned in all this badly smelling team of the hodgepodge. Everything, it turns out, spent the New Year not where they were informed of voters, and they put apartments abroad and generally filled with money. Within a week after the transfer, her heroes were forced to make excuses and easily proved in the end that the channel was elementary.

However, since it was a question of participants in the presidential race, why did no one tell us how the candidate Putin celebrated the New Year? Really in the family? This is what the viewers would like to know on the eve of the election. In return every evening, Russian television showed us the next series of the endless film “Russia from the First Person”, in which it narrated about the extraordinary successes of our state in different fields under the leadership of the genius helmsman Putin, which completed every series of some maximum.

The transfer of “sincere recognition” exposed the opposition to the divided country all week TV tried to divide the audience, that is, in fact, the people, into two parts, sow antagonism and hatred. On the basis of financial situation, for example. Or on the basis of national origin. Putin first spoke out of the television screen about the opposition of Akunin, which he explained by the fact that he was “ethnic Georgian”. Then, unexpectedly, at a meeting in the FMS, he fell with anger for migrant workers, calling terrible punishment to their heads. As if a terrifying position with migrants did not work out during his reign, but he fell from the sky and is about to restore order.

In short, cooling happened not only in nature. And it seems that after the presidential elections, which our “main candidate” really wants to win, the climate in the country will not change.
