Levkovich: Publishing an interview with Ernst is not a matter of ethics

Journalist Yevgeny Levkovich said that he considered it possible to publish an interview with Channel Channel Channel Channel Channel Konstantin Ernst, since he has not considered himself a journalist since 2011. He wrote about this on his Facebook page. According to Levkovich, he does not consider the ethics of the publication of the interview without coordination "in a situation where people publish wiretaps, remove" anatomy of protest "," people and laws ", when friends are in prison for nothing."

According to Levkovich, the words about the involvement of Sergei Lisovsky in the murder of Vladislav Listyev, which Ernst said when the recorder turned off, the journalist Pavel Grinshpun and photographer Igor Rodin heard. “In which case, I am ready to answer for her in court - in the end, I have witnesses,” Levkovich wrote.

Levkovich also explained why the text was released now, although the interview was taken in 2008. According to him, he tried to place it in several publications, but received a refusal, because they did not want to quarrel with the Channel One.

Earlier, the editor -in -chief of Echo of Moscow, Alexei Venediktov, wrote on his Twitter that Ernst did not talk about Lisovsky’s involvement in the murder of Listyev. According to Venediktov, Ernst himself informed him in his personal conversation. “Ernst in a conversation with me categorically denied that he called Lisovsky’s last name. Neither under the recorder, nor under the dictone turned off. He did not call Venediktov.

On Thursday, Levkovich published on his blog on the website of the Snob magazine an interview with Ernst, in which he allegedly stated that the customer of the murder of Listyev was Lisovsky. At the same time, according to Levkovich, Ernst did not give consent to the publication of the interview, but the words that Lisovsky was the customer of the murder were said not under the record, with the dictaphone turned off.

According to Ernst, the late entrepreneur Boris Berezovsky had nothing to do with the murder. "I really do not like Boris Abramovich Berezovsky, but he has nothing to do with Vlad Listiev’s death," said Ernst.

Currently, the interview has been removed from the site, it is available only to the Snob project. "The editorial board of the Snob project decided to temporarily close the text of Yevgeny Levkovich to view users to view the issue of copyrights for this material at the moment," the editorial statement said. "In 2008, the CEO of Channel One Konstantin Ernst agreed to give an interview to the chief editor of Rolling Stone magazine, emphasizing that the interview is given to this particular publication. However, the interview took place with other Rolling Stone journalists - Evgeny Levkovich and Pavel Grinstun. The order is for the protection of copyright, and therefore we are currently clarifying the belonging of this interview with Rolling Stone, ”the statement said.

Sergei Lisovsky, currently a member of the Federation Council, refused to comment on Ernst's statement. "Listen, let's like this: it is useless to comment stupidity, so call somewhere in another place. Good?" - Lisovsky said on the air of "Echo of Moscow".
