NTV showed a film “exposing” the “anti-church campaign” in the media
On January 20, 2013, the NTV channel showed the film Boris Korchevnikov "I don't believe!" Dedicated to the "information war" against the Russian Orthodox Church. The announcement of the film on the channel's website promised journalistic investigation into the activities of "paid bloggers and political technologists", allegedly organized informational "stuffing", exposing "atheistic funds and their subversive activities”, as well as talk about “the real problems churches".
It turned out that the film is a set of chaotic edited, unfinished phrases of interlocutors taken out of context B. Korchevnikov, pictures "from the Internet" and indistinct filming with a hidden camera and demonstration of the schedule of "stuffing" compiled by a certain analyst. With the help of clip video and audio series, the author tried to convey to the audience the idea that negative stories about the ROC that appeared during 2012 were “thrown in” for money by gallery owner Marat Gelman and blogger Rustem Agadamov. your role in the organization of the "anti-church campaign", as follows from the film, Ukraine also played and the West and a little - former colleagues of B. Korchevnikov on NTV.
No comments about the content of the "thrown" plots themselves (as it was “really”), nor the promised talk about “real problems church" did not follow.
Head of the Synodal Department for Relations between the Church and Society Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin spoke positively about the film, stating that it "adequately reflects the mood of our society - not virtual, in which dominated by a narrow "party" from several large cities, but the real one, who loves his Church, helps her, understands that she need to participate more in public life .
The public, including Orthodox, took the film negatively, noting first of all the low the quality of journalism.
