One in the field of Volin

This story can be told differently.

With a hot civilian, for example. Imagine: the metropolitan official, cynic and rude, who humbounded them and their students, came to honest teachers of regional journalisms. Forget about the high mission, this unbelieved civil servant told them, the task of the journalist is to obey the uncle, that is, to earn money for the one who hired it. However, the audience did not support the speaker, and the democratic public angrily branded him.

Or with sadness and pain to tell about how the wise dignitary tried to warn teachers and young naive students from mistakes and errors, but was not understood and left beveled. The audience hissed. The democratic community mixed with mud.

All this will be true. In fact, with Alexei Volina, a former PR man, now the deputy minister of communications and public communications, a persistent reputation of a cynic. As they say, in agitrope he was disliked for shamelessness. And according to Elena Tregubova, it was he who, after Putin’s appointment, the successor to raise the rating of the prime minister predicted a small victorious war and was heard. On the other hand, the same Volin, the only one of the officials of the Kasyanovsky government, expressed a deeply personal attitude towards the "walking together", calling them "vandals." In other words, he is a very ambiguous person, this Alexei Konstantinovich, and his speeches are ambiguous, and they can be evaluated in different ways. In particular, to assume that the deputy minister in a harsh form informed teachers and students how the life of a journalist in Russia works. At the same time mocking them and warning.

Of course, he was substituted, and in response you can mock Alexei Volin. To inform him, for example, that Russia is not exhausted by Russia. That the uncle, about whom he was talking about, we have already known for a long time in person, and those who work for him know, and all of them were dug up to vomiting. And what journalism was called "the second ancient" long before the birth of the deputy minister of communications. Nevertheless, there were always, there are and will be journalists who write without looking back at the uncle, and if they are talented, and his uncle is smart, he seeks to get such journalists to his edition. Even with us, where not all the independent press lies under the uncle and his nephews like the Kovalchuk brothers or the Gabrelyanov working dynasty. That is, before a young man, thinking about living after the end of the journalism department, is still facing a choice: to work for an uncle or for society.

This is a difficult choice. All families: parents, children, wives and other beloved women, as well as men. All ambition, which manifests itself in different ways: who has mainly in money, for others-for self-esteem. It will be difficult to believe a smart and prosperous wax, but there are people who are ready to poor, if only they themselves do not consider themselves scum and liars. Moreover, there are quite a few of them, and if the deputy minister considers the number of bending, but living opposition newspapers and Internet sites, then it will be amazed. The guard is dying, but published!

Our main problem is not that the uncle of the most honest rules that he is angry and frostbitten. Our main problem is that uncle took almost all the money that is in the country, and with obvious difficulty is restrained from bankrupt, transplant or drive into emigration of those who still dare to publish unprofitable free media. And here it is difficult to argue with Volin: the space of freedom is limited, and many freedom -loving and honest simply do not fit in it. They have to play according to the imposed rules, change the profession or leave. However, the uncle is not eternal, and no one canceled the cyclicity of Russian history, so in the near future Alexei Konstantinovich and amazing changes await us all.

And then suddenly it turns out that the mission of a journalist, about whom Wolin responds with such a mocking contempt in society. And the longer this society was fed by the products of the life of those who worked for an uncle, the stronger he has longing for high -quality journalism. Of course, the glorious perestroika times are hardly already returning, when the Free Press Mochi had a party and the government at the Central Committee of the CPSU. However, the money in the country is immensely, and even with the soft dispossessing of individual monopolists and the return of the offshore accounts stolen from offshore accounts, both the press and its new owners will fall. And with their large number and strict observance of a constitutional article on the ban on censorship to journalists, where it will be easier to choose uncle to taste and political beliefs. As this, in fact, was already in Russia in the pre -revolutionary years, after February and after August. How all this has long been arranged in civilized countries.

And what encourages most of all is a wild scandal that rumbled after a brief and in his own way of true performance by Alexei Volin. He turned out to be lonely and was not supported by anyone - neither cynics nor lyrics. Somehow everyone immediately fell upon him-and the figures of the Union of Journalists, Posner, and the United States, and the United States Political scientist Orlov, and the conscience of our workshop, Solovyov with NTV, even called on Valin to resign. It turns out that the uninhabited Russian society, including the most extended Kholuye and demagogues, is still able to respond to direct rudeness, while the democratic public generally saw the brutal uncle in the coffin. This is an unexpected discovery, and if, in the depths of his ministerial soul, the former PR man was counting on just such a response, then it should be said to him a lot of human thanks.
