Roskomnadzor issued a warning in connection with the publication in her printed and electronic versions of the article by Yulia Latinina " If we are not the West, who are we? ". This was reported on the website of the publication. In the electronic version of the newspaper, the article appeared on September 9, in the print - a day later.

As follows from paper, signed by the deputy head of the RKN, Maxim Ksenzov, two fragments caused the displeasure of officials.

In the first of the quotes given by the department, Latynin likes to the Nazis the Russian authorities and their servants, claiming the existence of a "special" Russian culture ", which opposes European soullessness." “This is a regular technique of fascism: under the pretext of the liberation of the nation from the“ alien culture ”to free it from any culture in general and immerse it in times and habit of barbarism,” the journalist notes.

In the second fragment, the author claims that "only three modern developed nations - Jews, Chinese and Indians - can claim a thousand -year autochthonousness of cultures." “Everyone else,” says Latynina, “a ram, a cross, dirt.”

Officials accused the “new newspaper” of initiating national razor, promoting national exclusivity, as well as “public obviously false accusations of the person replacing the state position of the Russian Federation of committing by him during the performance of their official duties of the acts indicated in this article and are a crime.” All this, concluded RKN, referring to the relevant Law No. 114 of July 25, 2002, falls under the definition of extremist activity.

The editorial offices of Novaya Gazeta is prescribed within 10 days from the date of receipt of the paper to delete or edit the electronic version of the article, and then notify the RKN about this.

The editors deleted both fragments from the publication on the site (the full text of the article is available here ), but is going to challenge the warning in court. “Novaya Gazeta lawyers are now carefully studying this document,” says “New” website. “However, if we proceed from the initial impression, we will most likely have to disagree with the opinion of the department and prove our rightness with the involvement of high -class specialists in the field of linguistics. At the same time, I would like to point out a strange skew in the views of officials monitoring the media: for some reason, state channels that allow themselves to be derogatory The statements to individual social groups and peoples are not subjected to any punishment - even when they directly incite the war. "

Meanwhile, the two warnings issued by the RKN of the media throughout the year give this department the right to apply to the court with a claim for deprivation of the media of registration.
