Mediafiya. New language for the new Russia

March 25, 2014 Igor Yakovenko

Congratulating the deputies on the inclusion of Crimea in Russia, the chairman of the State Duma Naryshkin said: "This is a turning point in world history, in the confrontation of good and evil, white and black." Perhaps Naryshkin exaggerated a little about the whole world history, in which there were events and more significant than the annexation of one country in the territory of another country, but in the 21st century this event can really be considered a turning point. The release of one of the largest countries from the system of world law, the abolition of one’s own law as an internal regulator, the formation of Nazism as the core of state ideology and the declaration of lies by the basis of politics really simplified the picture of the world, made it contrasting, divided into good and evil, black and white.

After the annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol, we really woke up in another country. Just as the October Revolution of 1917 gave rise to the Soviet New Maid, the Nazis' coming to power in 1933 launched the appropriate processes in German, the “Tauride” coup in Russia is accompanied by the creation of a new public syllable, which, performing the semantic reduction of the world, to some extent begins to control the political process.

Putilingva

Words matter. And sometimes they have considerable power and material force. It is no accident that Dmitry Kiselev with such enthusiasm noted that after Putin’s “Tauride” performance, the terms “fifth column” and “national traitors” were legalized in our political vocabulary. It should be noted that the “fifth column” is from the rhetoric of Stalinist propaganda, and “National Distributions” is already from the fascist vocabulary. Having called some group of people the fifth column and national traitors, the authorities narrow the corridor of its capabilities in relation to this group.

The diplomatic language has changed. The Foreign Ministry’s website says in the official commentary: “The chairman of the European Council H. Van Rompei urgently requested Russia.” What can you talk about with someone who requested? This verb can only relate to boring and insignificance. This is not the language of the foreign policy department. And why is it, this is the department, a country that voluntarily chose international isolation. This is a text for domestic consumption, along with the language of Russian television channels. “We will learn everything about gangster power in Kyiv” - the announcement of the final program “Today” of March 23.

The next success of Marianne Maksimovskaya was an interview with the speaker of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko. Concluding her interview in the “Week” program, Valentina Ivanovna exclaimed: “We will protect the Russians, wherever they are!” And she added: "We will protect Orthodoxy!" When such slogans are distributed from Prokhanov or Dugin, this can be considered as a private opinion. When the pronoun “we” hear from a third party of the state, this is already a state policy with obvious signs of clericalism, which contradicts Article 14 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation on the secular character of the country, and Nazism, since Matvienko guarantees protection to Russians, and not to Russian citizens, for example, Tatars or Yakuts.

Additions to Nazism not as domestic deviations like swastika on the fence or click of Dugin, but as a respectable state policy translated on the air of state television channels - this addiction has rapidly occurred over one last week. On the air of Russia-24, the TV channel entering the VGTRK, the writer Prokhanov exclaims: “It is strange that Jewish organizations, European and Russian, support the Maidan. Do they not understand that they are bringing them together with their own hands? " And then follows the completely enchanting replica of the journalist of “Russia-24” by Evelina of the Zakamskaya: “They also brought the first too.” The end of the quote.

The idea that the Jews themselves are to blame for the Holocaust themselves is firmly entered the gentleman's set of anti -Semite along with the Zion protocols, the denial of the fact of the Holocaust and the bloody loan. Prokhanov Nazi is experienced, grated and broken. He perfectly owns the methodology to say muck and evade responsibility. Zakamskaya is a relatively young girl, she simply does not know that anti -Semitism is ashamed, or maybe she thinks that she said not anti -Semitism, she did not offer to burn. And what she said, obviously, is in the studios and hardware VGTRK. With which Oleg Dobrodeev is congratulated.

Journalism and propaganda

The sacred event of the week was Putin's “Tauride” speech. The “Tauride” speech was dismantled in all state media with about the same food with which 75 years ago they admired the Stalinist speeches, 50 years ago they extolled Khrushchev tirads, and 40 years ago were amazed at the wisdom of the Brezhnev muttance. The main profane event of the week in the framework of the Russian media myth is, of course, Western sanctions. And the protagonist, of course, Dmitry Kiselev, to whom Vladimir Soloviev dedicated his emergency “Sunday evening”, appointed on this occasion on Friday 21.

When Kiselev and Soloviev act in the same program, the concentration of lies, hypocrisy, pathos and propaganda becomes intolerable. To the question of Solovyov, like him, Kiselev, refers to the fact that he could no longer go to Europe, Kiselev said that he was ashamed of European civilization, since she degraded so much that he imposes sanctions against journalists. And this, as Kiselev explained, the last thing. Apparently, a journalist Kiselev considers himself.

Further, Kiselev explained that the lists, in one of which he got, draw up in Moscow and does this metropolitan intelligentsia, the one that Putin called the fifth column. Kiselev sincerely did not understand why this fifth column was fucked on him. “We are polemicing with them. And it does not occur to me to compose lustration lists, ”Kiselev said with resentment in his voice.

For a minute I will be distracted from the review to express my solidarity with Dmitry Kiselev, in relation to which injustice was really allowed. After all, really, why only he?! Where are Dobrodeev, Ernst, Kulistikov, Soloviev, Pushkov, Mammoths? Where are all those who built a system of stop lists, that is, the very lustration lists that “it never occurred to Kiselev” does not occur, since they have long been compiled and updated, most likely, by other people. So Kiselev is right, considering himself a victim of European arbitrariness.

After a minute of sorrow, by the fate of European civilization, Solovyov and Kiselev began to grieve in journalism. She, too, alas, degrades. Unlike the degradation of European civilization, the reason for which in the transfer remained unclear, the reasons for the degradation of journalism of the Solovyov and Kiselev were dismantled in the smallest details.

Firstly, journalism is a very difficult profession and hard work, Kiselev said. And he explained: “In order to prepare such aces as those that work for me, you need to work out for several decades in such a team as the'''s weeks ''.” I imagined with horror what could become with a person who would pass at least three or even only two decades through himself “News of the Week” with Dmitry Kiselev, and agreed that this work was actually incompatible with life, approximately like work on uranium mines.

The second reason for the decline in journalism, identified by Kiselev and Solovyov, is the Internet. Kiselev, as it turned out, does not like the Internet at all. The expressions “The Internet is full of lies!”, The “dirty zone of the Internet” fully characterize the attitude of the country's main propagandist to this invention of the American military. “Spit - and you will get to the blogger, journalist and human rights activist,” said Kiselev. Unlike the Internet, television cannot be accused of lies, because, as Kiselev explained, each issue, each report is confirmed by the reputation of honest journalists.

"Television is protected sex!" - Kiselev brought this formula, summing up the conversation about the hardships of the profession and its degradation. How protected sex can help the population avoid degradation and, ultimately, complete disappearance, Kiselev did not explain.

Speaking about the fifth column, Soloviev asked Kiselev to give specific examples of the subversive activity of journalists. And Kiselev immediately presented the public with the nest of the national traitors who had personally disclosed, who dug in the newspaper Moscow News. As an example of sabotage, Kiselev cited an article about the first Chechen war entitled as follows: "They did not know what they fought for." Kiselev did not read the article, because by the heading I realized that it was a sabotage. Our soldier cannot not know what he is fighting for. This American green berets did not know why they fought in Vietnam. And ours knew well why they were fighting both in Afghanistan and Chechnya. And in Ukraine, if anything, they will also know.

Even if now the bulk of the Afghan veterans and veterans cannot clearly say what they fought for, Kiselev will explain to them. As he already explains what the “partisans” are going to fight for, discovered by the “news of the week” in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. They, these new forest brothers, found by Kiselev’s employees in the thickets of eastern Ukraine, confidentially told the honest journalists of Russia 1, who would burn representatives of the Kyiv authorities if they only dare to stick to the lands of eastern Ukraine. All over the world, such statements are considered terrorist, and their broadcasting in the media is incompatible with the professional status of a journalist. But this is in the degrading civilization, with its degrading journalism. On the channel "Russia 1" there are other norms.

If someone thinks that the capture of the Crimea, or even all of Ukraine, may limit themselves to the appetites of the “Russian world”, carefully warmed up by Kiselevsky propaganda, then these people are mistaken. At the end of Sunday, the “news of the week” Kiselev showed the plot about the collection of signatures for joining Alaska to Russia. And he commented: “Now, of course, not the time. Let's see how it goes. And we will definitely return to this. " I understand that it is frozen. I understand that nonsense. But to whom six months ago, otherwise, what could the thought of the capture of Crimea in Russia seem to have a nonsense?

Ukraine is not Russia. The further, the more

Black and white comparison will not work. We have a sadistic, a piece, by a drip, the destruction of the "rain". First, they turned off the cable, now it is kicked out of the room. Blocking "Hedgehog", "Grani" and the site "Kasparov.ru" on the basis of an unlawful law, which was also grossly violated with this lock. Closed, but forgot to say for what. The mobilization of all the media in Putin television troops is almost total.

In Ukraine, the main problem, of course, is “freedom” and “right sector”. The video about how the deputy from the Freedom Party Igor Miroshnichenko and his colleague Bogdan Benyuk are forcing the head of the national television company of Ukraine to write a “statement” about the resignation, the whole last week they twisted all Russian television channels in almost every news release. Kiselev, Dobrodeev, Ernst and, ultimately, the deputies of Freedom could not do the best gift, Dobrodeev, Ernst, even if they had very much tried.

Yes, the whole is glad, including the leader of the “freedom” of Tyagnibok, is outraged and rejects from the participants in the beating. Yes, Yatsenyuk is also outraged, and the Prosecutor General initiates a criminal case against the deputy. But the fact itself is impressive, especially since the Prosecutor General, being a single-party member of a deputy who has beaten a journalist, has already stated that he intends to initiate a matter not only against a hooligan deputy, but also against the battered head of the television company-for inciting interethnic growth.

The paradox of today's Ukraine is that Putin with his Crimean Anschlus and hanging over the eastern and southern regions, Ukraine ralves and pushes into Europe and to democracy. And “Freedom” and Yarosh, everyone who has a hero of Bandera has settled in the head - they crack Ukraine and, objectively playing a decrease, make the country as a whole further from Europe, and the eastern regions are closer to Russia.

Nevertheless, in terms of the level of freedom of the media and the quality of journalism, Russian television channels and zero lagged behind the Ukrainian, and now the gap has increased significantly. The difference becomes clear if you compare any Kiselev-Solovyov-Pushkov program and any Schusterlife program. Adrenaline ”, at least, for example, the latter, from March 21. In Russian channels, in recent months, any discussion and the search for truth are impossible, since this truth is known in advance and embodied in a particular person whose name everyone knows. The Schuster Life program is every time an acute discussion with a result, which the presenter may like to direct, but, firstly, it can not always, and sometimes does not really want to, because he himself is interested in what invited politicians and experts say.

In addition to the bright and acute discussion of the Tok Shouster current show, the journalistic finds of the host team are favorably distinguished. In the program of March 21, for example, two comparative analysis seemed very successful to me. Firstly, fragments of the “Tauride” speech of Putin in 2014 and the “unifying” speech of Hitler of 1939. Coincidence in the motivation, in historical and emotional excursions, in rhetoric - amazing. Sometimes just literal.

Secondly, the journalists of the Schuster team compared the results of the measurements of public opinion in Ukraine before the capture of Crimea and after. I will give data on only one question - “How do you feel about Ukraine’s entry into NATO?”

For NATO before joining after joining
Crimea to Russia Crimea to Russia

All of Ukraine 58% 73%

East 43% 58%

Center 64% 80%

South 49% 65%

West 76% 91%

The role of Putin as a father-spite of the Ukrainian political nation behind these figures is very clearly visible.

This is not to say that Savik Shuster and other Ukrainian journalists have no position and work exclusively in the style of impassive objectivity. Almost all of them stand in completely patriotic positions, wish the benefits of their country. The difference from Russian journalism is that they create sites for a discussion about what exactly this good consists and how to achieve it. Russian journalism, or rather what it is usually called today, considers the discussions on issues for the country a sign of national representation and discussion immediately in the fifth column.
