Fathers-Honigns and wives are immaculate

The founder and first editor-in-chief of Echo of Moscow Sergey Korzun quit the radio station due to disagreements with the current leader Alexei Venediktov. The “Echo” that we started in 1990 did not, ”Korzun wrote on his blog.“ The body still works, but “The Death of the Brain” has already occurred. ”

Korzun explained that he decided to quit after publication on the Echo of Moscow website posts of the assistant to the chief editor Lesya Ryabtseva " Democrakla " and " Word with three points ." "It is important for me that the lack of reaction to the posts of his assistant, the editor -in -chief himself confirms his solidarity with the assessments expressed in them: the opposition is" ruthless, at the same time spineless and aiming for themselves the gloom ", and" at work we are surrounded by nothing that do not understand or do not know M. Daki. "I personally accepted it to my account, after which I could surround the location, where I could have surrounded the assistant editor -in -chief, ”writes Korzun.

According to Korzun, until recently, Venediktov firmly complied with the principles laid down in the basis of the Echo media brand, and only recently took a "course to maintain the rating to the detriment of the basic values." "In my opinion," Echo of Moscow "today betrays its basic target audience," writes the founder of the radio station.

Venediktov, in turn, wrote on Twitter that it is pointless to put forward the ultimatums to him. "He (Korzuna. - Ed.) The right to demand a restriction on the statement of young journalists on the site. My right is to refuse him this," writes Venediktov. "Do you really think that Putin, Korzun, Lesin can dictate to me who will work for me?" - answers the editor -in -chief of Echo to the question about the dismissal of Korzun.

In 1996, Korzun resigned from the post of editor -in -chief, but remained chairman of the editorial council, and in 1999 he became the general producer of the radio station. According to Venediktov , Korzun left Echo four times. He publicly announced his resignation only once - in 2001. Then Korzun called Venediktov "an extremely authoritarian leader." Later he returned to the "echo" as the leading programs "Special Opinion" and "without fools." “Korzun worked an hour a week - even if he worked,” Venediktov wrote on Twitter, commenting on dismissal.
