Radio after

... September 9 (on the third day of the ceasefire) on the Radio "Says Moscow" is reported - urgently! - About the launch of a ballistic missile in the Mediterranean Sea. There are few launches, including in Russia, but for some reason leading in shock. They interrupt the broadcast, change the topic. They behave as if a rocket flies right in them. Urgently accept calls from the "former engineers and the military." One of the calling assures that "all the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are now in readiness No. 1." This is a mini-model of panic on the air from scratch. After 15 minutes, it will become known that this is the training launch of Israel, and the presenters report that they "exhaled a little."

Russia is not at war; Here they say about this every day, as well as that Russia is “not afraid of anything”-but for some reason it is precisely those who say this that are genuinely afraid. They live with the feeling that the West wants to "destroy" them. Is this a consequence of self -hypnosis - after all, they talked about the war for the past five months - or is it a subconscious reaction, shame, which is disguised as the fear of "retaliation"? We can say otherwise: according to Freud, they actually “want this” - that is, they want self -destruction. This is a typical masochistic installation.

They spoke for so long about a non -existent threat that it materialized - in their own heads; Another reaction is aggression. “Moscow says,” Sergey Dorenko: “What did Ukraine supply us? Whores! .. engines and whores! ” A little later, another leader, similar to Dorenko with manners and intonation, says about Scotland: “If these bastards disconnect, they will still be against us ... We supported them-and these scum still support the European path and sanctions.” The listener calls: “Because of people like you, Russia has no friends” (in response-swearing, insults). However, all this is said "as a joke"; In a specific situation of “mobile ethics”, the presenter can always elude responsibility: “I have such a manner.”

“Echo of War” - there was such a phrase. The information war has its own victims. In the Jesuitic sense, “hatred for Ukraine” was “liberation” for them - a kind of pleasure, freedom from restrictions on the choice of words and expressions, a surrogate “absolute rightness”. Psychologically it is difficult to refuse.

“What did Ukraine supply us? Whores! .. engines and whores! ”

10 days have passed since the declaration of a truce (I write this text on September 15). During the last truce (in June), the rhetoric did not change on the air. Now there are several significant changes. After the decline in the official language of the media, the words “Kyiv punishers”, “fascists”, “junta” disappeared. This is confirmed by media data. However, there is a purely technical explanation: there is no war - there is no fierce propaganda. But she can return at any time. On the air, by the way, these words are still sounding-they are just hidden in special “ghetto of hatred”.

Another change: the “other side” appeared on the air. It used to be not at all, now it is extremely rare, but it appears. For example, a Ukrainian expert, political scientist Vyacheslav Kovtun regularly acts on Business FM (he calls the separatists “bandits”, but there is no word in the printout on the site ), as well as political analyst Vadim Karasev . The chairman of the association of Ukrainians of Russia Valery Semenenko ( a little about his competitors ) spoke on “Moskva” on the day of the ceasefire. On September 8, Konstantin Borova says on the air of Moscow - he argues with political scientist Militarev about Ukraine (voting - 15 to 85 in favor of Militarev). On September 12, the Moscow Barricades says at the Moscow Barricades. Interestingly, the presence of another opinion in itself complicates the reaction of the audience, changes the atmosphere in the studio.

DPR and LPR

On September 8 and 9, in the news on RSN, Vesti and says Moscow, the DPR and LPR are not mentioned at all, only Ukraine. Here is the news "Says Moscow" on September 9. 1) Cameron announced the support of Ukraine (“We respect the territorial integrity of the republic”). 2) Poroshenko instructed to ensure the highly combat readiness of Mariupol. 3) Experts from Malaysia went to Ukraine (note, not the DPR). 4) Dmitry Medvedev’s statement: “It is necessary to help Donbass. But this is not our history, Ukraine should take care of this. ” State Duma deputy, member of the Committee on International Affairs Alexander Karelin: “The main thing is to stop bloodshed. We must start talking. " Presenter: "The Ukrainian army uses a truce to regroup." Answer: “There is a lot of things. This applies to all participants in the conflict. ”

Since September 10, the DPR and LPR gradually appear in the news - as independent entities, along with Ukraine. Most often mentioned in connection with the exchange of prisoners. Here is a typical message: "As Purgin said (Prime Minister of the self-proclaimed DPR), the next exchange of prisoners will be produced two days later." Sometimes the news is formal: “There is no need to meet the working group yet, the representative of the DPR said” - that is, the news, in fact, is not. Or here is the first news on KP: “The DPR and LPR will discuss their status with Ukraine. In the immediate negotiations, this topic is not planned ”(and what is the news? ..). September 12, "KP": "Not all Ukrainian prisoners of war want to leave the DPR - they are afraid of repression." September 12, “Speak Moscow” sets a record: three news from six - about the DPR (exchange of prisoners, quote from the deputy Rudenko from the DPR, the DPR will hold a video conference). On KP, the first news is about “torture in Ukrainian captivity” with reference to the DPR.

The frequency of references to the DPR and LPR ranges from once to several - in one information issue. On September 13, the “Alarm Working in Donetsk and Lugansk” is temporarily replaced by “calm” - at the time when the humanitarian convoy enters there.

Strelkov

On September 11, one can be called “Strelkov’s Birthday” - in the afternoon when he became an official media figure (during a military confrontation, the name of Strelkov was not mentioned on the air). On the 11th he gives a conference in Moscow, and he is quoted by all the media. RSN: "Strelkov will fight the fifth column inside the country." He is called the "former Minister of Defense of New Russia." At KP, the first news: “Boeing” was shot down by Ukraine - this was stated by the former Minister of Defense of the DPR Igor Strelkov. ” This quote is repeated all day all the stations: “Boeing” was sent there on purpose. And the Ukrainian side created the conditions for its confusion. ” Zhirinovsky on the air “Says Moscow” on September 12 calls him “our Che Guevara”. On September 11, Vladimir Karpov (the Hunching program) is dedicated to almost the entire program on September 11. Purcies from the quote "The one who is against Putin is the fifth column." He offers the students a test (the host emphasizes that he is comic, but the listener already knows that the comic today is nowhere more serious). Test questions: “In Kyiv, the junta or the elected president?”, “Terrorists or militias?”, “Makarevich is a traitor or a good person?” Listeners, however, react differently. The listener scolds Strelkova: "He does not care where to fight." 41% of the listeners “did not pass the test”, the host admits (that is, according to the results of the test were the “fifth column”). Student: “You need to fight with the fifth column in the government. There must be criminal cases, and quietly take it off for the shed ... ”The host, picture:“ For what, for what? ” This is the norm: listeners brought up by propaganda, as a rule, are more radically more radical than the propaganda media themselves. Student: "We need to introduce the norms of 1937 of the twentieth century." The host feels against this background by a democrat - at that moment he does not think that all these ghosts are generated by himself.

“The majority are configured to combat the fifth column”, the host sums the result (61% supports the fight against the fifth column, 39% fears this struggle), however, at the pro -state station, such a result is more than a third against, and even on such a fundamental issue - this is actually unexpected. “We will follow the subsequent actions and statements of Igor Strelkov.” After the news, the song "The Red Army of All stronger" sounds. On the morning of September 12, “says Moscow”, Dorenko: “We are trying to analyze Strelkov.” “What did he say, in fact? - says Dorenko. “This is a signal to Putin that the liberal lobby of the Donbass, although they could reach Odessa.” “Strelkov is still a cautious Prooputin ultra -right statesman. It may well be that he says agreed things. Or maybe inconsistent. It will still be interesting to follow this. ”

On the 11th, all stations quote Strelkov, and the next day, the 12th, a rally was canceled in Moscow in support of Novorossia. However, not a single pronounced radio reports about this. For some reason, this news did not interest them.

"A truce is not observed"

This is perhaps the most interesting topic. The attitude of the State Media towards the truce - and even the tone is an important Lakmus. The tone changes every day, which is connected with - sometimes inexplicably. There is a temptation to assume that this reflects a certain subcover's struggle between the “party of war” and the “party of the world”. In fact, this is the struggle for which formulation dominates on the air: “A truce is observed” - or “No one believes in a truce.” It seems that these two positions fight among themselves even within the same radio station, within one day they can change to the opposite. After the announcement of the sanctions, the “truce is not observed” sounds on the air more often. At one station it prevails “is not observed” - at the other at the same moment it dominates is “observed”. Among the listeners, meanwhile, the "party of resentment" had already formed - "it is a shame that the war was stopped when the victory of New Russia was close."

September 8 and 9 - purely peaceful rhetoric. News on the “Vesti FM” 8th: “Putin stated that an interesting conversation took place with Poroshenko.” “Says Moscow” in the news quotes as many as the speaker of the RNBO Andrei Lysenko: “The truce regime is respected. Separate violations are recorded. ” True, in the evening, immediately after the news, an interview with the head of the Kharkov Oplot Evgeny Zhilin is a broadcast-rare in bloodthirstiness, even by the standards of April-May; He does not hide that the goal of the separatists is Odessa and Zaporozhye.

Radio "KP" stands out against the background of other media. There is a difficult struggle between feeling and duty. Officially, in the news, KP supports peaceful rhetoric (“Putin and Poroshenko discussed the truce”). And inside, within the framework of the programs, in conversations - the emphasis on the fact that "a truce is not respected, violated, no one believes in it." KP first begins to mention the DPR and LPR on the air. In the news - the call of Medvedev "To preserve the fragile world." The interruption sounds - “it is said at Komsomolskaya Pravda”, political analyst Vladimir Evseev : “In the coming days, war will begin - before the beginning of October. The initiators will be Ukrainian militants. I think this will be a real offensive, and Ukrainian troops will cease to exist. ” September 13, the presenter speaks with the Sobris' KP Alexander Kots. It is necessary to give the journalist the due one - he accessibly and objectively explains the reason for the violation of the ceasefire: during the movement of the troops, one side opens fire - in order to prevent this, the other opens the return of fire. But this answer does not suit the host: he wants to hear "there is no truce."

This is the norm: listeners brought up by propaganda, as a rule, are more radically more radical than the propaganda media themselves.

"KP", the heading "Ten News of the Day", military political analyst Alexander Perendzhiev. Quotes: “It is very naive to wait for everything to end in the world,” “The goals of the militia are not achieved. So, they are forced to free the territories. It is unlikely that peaceful actions. " The word "punitive operation" sounds - a rarity after September 5.

There are many historical headings on KP. One of them is “which“ KP ”wrote about. To the 70th anniversary of Victory. " “Mariupol and Volnovakha were freed from the Nazis on September 11, 1943. There were 646 days before the victory. ” This is such a game in parallel, the hint is transparent here.

September 14, KP. What is called the art of the question. "Have you started quite serious shelling?" - the presenter asks with pressure. On the air, the special corner "KP" Dmitry Steshin, but he is no longer in Donetsk. “Military operations, despite the truce, will continue? ..”-repeats the host. Further: “Who, in your opinion, should be the first to say that military operations do not stop?”, “Is it necessary to continue the exchange in such conditions?”

The call of the listener. “Do you really believe that a truce can develop into the world - despite the fact that Ukraine strengthens its position?” - the host asks rhetorically (the listener is configured, I must say, much more peacefully).

September 14, 17:00, "KP". “Quotes of the week. TOP-3 ". The first to quote the commander of the Vostok battalion Khodakovsky and only after - the quotes of Dmitry Medvedev and Minister Lavrov. The top quote Strelkov closes (it is difficult to call it a truce).

This contradiction between the official position (“a truce is respected”) and the internal filling starting on September 10 (after the administration of sanctions) becomes noticeable at other stations.

"News", news: "Heads of state Putin and Poroshenko expressed satisfaction with a truce." Then Sobkor in Ukraine Vladimir Sinelnikov: “The picture has not changed. A truce - all this is just conversations. "

“Moscow says”, news: “A truce is repeatedly violated” (without an indication of the parties). “War as a chance. The chance to become a subject of history! " - The announcement of the Saturday program for "says Moscow." Historian, Doctor of Sciences Yuri Rubtsov : "B. The US does not see the Nazi essence of the Kiev regime." “There is a fascation. They are pouring around the civilian population ... they pounded ... ” - the host straightens himself. “When we are talking about American fascism, even the world even - there is no exaggeration.” The word "junta" sounds, they refer to Hannah Arendt (!). “All 25 years of the so -called non -treatment of Ukraine have passed under the slogan“ Ukraine Not Russia ”.” "Given the ethnic origin of Kolomoisky ..."

On September 12, Business FM is given the direct speech of the leader of the DPR Zakharchenko: in his opinion, “a truce is observed” (no one gives more this quote). The situation becomes “normal” only when a humanitarian convoy comes to Donetsk and Lugansk. September 13, Business FM: "The shelling decreased by an order of magnitude ten times, Purgin reports." However, when the presenter asks the political scientist Kirill Koktysh about the ceasefire, she formulates the question exactly as her colleague on the radio “KP”: “Who, in your opinion, is beneficial for a violation of the truce?” September 14: “The shelling occurs on both sides,” “Residents of Donbass believe that there is no truce”, “Shooting does not subside.” From the DPR, the correspondent reports: "The National Guard fired, you can’t call it a truce, but the situation is generally stable." How to understand this is a riddle: each next sentence denies the meaning of the previous one. From Lugansk, the correspondent reports in about the same manner: “There are no explosions. People live without light, water and gas. It was possible to spend the holiday: so many people have never gone outside. But there are fewer people. However, the authorities managed to bring people to a subbotnik. Since last Friday, active hostilities have not been carried out. The leadership of the self -proclaimed republics states that the Minsk agreement is invalid. ”

This new stylistics can be called hybrid: mutually exclusive things are broadcast - that “the situation is peaceful” and that “a truce for a short time”. There is a suspicion that these formulations are again the result of a complex compromise (between whom and whom-a mystery). The messages from the DPR/LPR are contradictory. News and comments also often contradict each other.

Fruitment of sanctions

On the air of Vesti twice a week - on Thursday and Saturday - a new format of “conversation with the audience” appears: “How can we answer the sanctions?” This is a kind modification of a conversation about the "Kyiv punishers" of the Martha-Aprilian model. In fact, the same incitement - but already "inciting sanctions." 90% of listeners easily accept this game: “There is no need to be afraid of hard answers. We have everything, we are a rich country, we need to tolerate - maybe a five -year plan. ” People are ready to abandon European cars. People demand that Europe be blocked gas and oil. The listener (the same format, but already at KP) reports that she refused American cosmetics - in favor of the Russian. "Stop being a whipping boy." The presenters (“News”) remind you that “we live at the expense of oil and gas” - that is, they behave as if rationally, but this is cunning: the very formulation of the question (what else can be answered) does not imply a different answer (and other emotion), except for hatred, only now economic, to the “West”. And the desire to “punish”. The only benefit of these conversations is that the ideological aggression in relation to Ukraine is replaced by a more “rational” hatred of America and the West. They don’t even remember about Ukraine.

The new basic myth: "We will only be better from the sanctions." The logic “the worse, the better” is introduced at the mass level. September 14, "KP", the topic is the same - "What can be abandoned." The listener calls: “Those who lived within the means did not touch the sanctions. I believe that we need to abandon everything - from the boutiques of these ... I believe that sanctions equalize people. And then these ... But everyone will live the same way. " “An interesting aspect,” the host admires. The listener from the district near Yekaterinburg: “I have been trimming the cow now ... there is milk. The refrigerator is “ZIL” still remained ... from the parents. I believe that you can refuse everything. ” "Do you want to sell your milk?" - asks the host. - “So gasoline has risen in price. It is unprofitable to take somewhere. ” Ведущая: «Санкции ударят только по верхнему, тонкому слою общества, по этим сливкам, которые раздражают весь остальной пирог по имени государство».

Нельзя не поразиться тут одному: способности переключаться с одного объекта ненависти на другой. Теперь это США и Европа. Не может не поражать и какая-то искренняя мазохистская готовность пострадать, чтобы наказать — своим страданием — других: «Давайте мы еще от чего-нибудь откажемся, чтобы Западу было хуже». Собственно, в сухом остатке опять мазохизм, с чего и начали. Эй, позовите уже кто-нибудь Достоевского.
