The survey, arranged by the Rain television channel on the 70th anniversary of the lifting of the blockade of Leningrad , caused a storm of indignation. The authors of the "Amateurs" program asked spectators and Internet users: "Was it necessary to pass Leningrad in order to save hundreds of thousands of lives?" A few hours later, the survey was removed, the editor -in -chief of the Rain website Ilya Klishin apologized. “An incorrect question about the blocked Leningrad was a mistake of both the producer of the program and the editor of the social networks,” he wrote on Twitter.
But the scandal flared up more than the same. Regional unicorns in a single impulse stamping traitors and sacrifice, their youths picket the editors. In the evening of January 27, “Over the building of the editorial office of the Rain, young people dressed in the uniform of soldiers of the Second World War, erected the flag - the Banner of Victory, an analogue of the one who was erected over the Reichstag in 1945, - the Prochrevsky activists report.“ We want to remind you that we will not allow anyone to rethink and re -evaluate the results of the Great Patriotic War dissenters of all those who believe that a great victory could be achieved by any other price. "
The anger of professional patriots was divided this time and some liberals. Scandal in quotes.
