Macfol: Dmitry Kiselev took part in the State Department program

Russian TV presenter, general director of the Russian Agency Today Dmitry Kiselev participated in the program of the US State Department. This was announced today on Twitter by the former American ambassador in Moscow Michael McFol. He mentioned this during the discussion with users of the New AD in Russian-American relations.

“Colleagues, your“ patriots ”love to criticize America, and then rest with us. How many visas we gave these people when I was an ambassador,” McFol noted .

According to elephant.ru, Kiselev traveled to the USA under the State Department’s program in 2010. His trip was fully paid by the American side. The TV presenter himself extremely nervously reacted to the request of the publication to comment on this. "Please do not call me anymore! Forever, for life, I ask you!" - said Kiselev.

On March 16, Kiselev in the final program on Russia 1 threatened to turn the United States into a “radioactive ash” if the United States was undertaken by military interference due to the situation with Ukraine.

In February, President Vladimir Putin awarded Kiselev the Order of Merit to the Fatherland of the IV degree. The relevant decree states that Kiselev was awarded the award "for the achieved labor successes and a significant contribution to the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation." In addition, the president emphasized the success of the journalist in the "humanitarian sphere, strengthen the law, protect the rights and interests of citizens and many years, conscientious work."

Kiselev is known as one of the toughest state propagandists. On February 16, Kiselev in the plot of the "Political Affairs" of the Vesti Week program made a harsh criticism of "Echo of Moscow" and the leading authors of the radio station. The main objects of Kiselev’s accusations were poet Igor Irteniev and publicist Viktor Shenderovich, whose nationality Kiselev did not fail to note.

On December 8, Ukrainian journalist Vitaliy Sedyuk, during a direct inclusion from Independence Square in Kiev , burst into the frame of the Russia 24 television channel and, holding out Oscar's fake figurry to the correspondent, asked to pass it on to Kiselev "for lies and nonsense about Euromaidan." Earlier, the media scandal provoked Kiselev’s statement that it was necessary to "dig the hearts of homosexuals as unusual for continuing another life."
