“All over the past week, Russian information troops fought heavy defensive battles,” the first phrase of the message from the Soviet Inform Bureau was supposed to sound something like this if in 1961 this organization did not cease to exist. By the way, if you calculate how many lies the Sovincorm Bureau has been buried for 20 years of his life, he will pull on the world record. It is unlikely that there is a media in the world, which managed to lie for a long time, starting with the very first phrase. “Moscow says,” Yuri Borisovich Levitan, first from Sverdlovsk, and then from Kuibyshev, informed the Soviet people confidentially. This glorious tradition - “not the word of truth” - inherited the current Putin's media from the Swinformburo.
The truth was that the main content of the Russian media at the end of January was a rebuff of the enemy sortie of the British BBC television company, which showed the film “The Secrets of Putin”, in which the President of Russia was called the main corrupt official of the planet.
All the more or less noticeable figures of the Russian political and media scene were in a hurry in the operation “rebuff”. Moreover, it was absolutely not necessary to say something articulate about why it was the name that the film considers the film bad and false, and Putin, on the contrary, is good and honest. It was enough just to say that here he (she) is so thought so, and that’s all, put a bird, go through, come on the next one.
Here, for example, the direct heir to the Swinformburo, RIA Novosti, reports the sensation: “Yarovaya called the US Department of Finance to Putin to false.” Here is such an unexpected news. That is, everyone was looking forward to the way Yarovaya would be reacted to the fact that the head of American financial intelligence called Putin a corrupt official: they would agree or reject. And Yarovaya took and did not agree. She did not believe the US Ministry of Finance and suddenly supported Putin. At about this level, there were the majority of news and comments as part of the operation “Refusion”.
But there were more substantial messages. For example, the column of Maxim Sokolov called “Count Monte - Putin”, published in Izvestia 01/28/2016. The author asks a naive question: “Why V.V. Putin are these noble billions, and how will he own, use and dispose of them? ” And then he responds reasonably, naive: “In his current status, he has rich opportunities for the realization of his whims without a formal title of ownership -“ I will fall out to the bottom of the sea, I will rise to the ETC clouds. ”
Probably, the Izvestin writer did not quite clearly understand what he is rebuke, did not hear the main conclusion of the film by British television, namely: “Putin can demand everything that he pleased. Therefore, any point of view denoting its condition is meaningless. Putin considers everything that is in Russia, his own. ”
The Russian media themselves, including federal television channels, in the daily mode confirm this main conclusion of the BBC film that everything in Russia, including Tigerit, Beluh, Sterhs, Athletes and Athletes, State Budget funds, “private” property of oligarchs, all this is in Putin's undivided ownership. And it was this main conclusion of the enemy film as part of the operation “Report” that no one disputed. Since it is impossible to challenge what you give countless evidence every day.
Gazette game
Operations "rebuff" were devoted to most of the "Sunday evening" with Vladimir Solovyov. At first, the deputy Vyacheslav Nikonov said that the British press has always been behaving like that and for three hundred years has been attacking the leaders of Russia. True, literally the next minute, the deputy Vyacheslav Nikonov denied himself, saying that there was never anything similar to the leaders of the USSR. After which he said that “they begin to praise Russia when it is weak and crumbles,” and, accordingly, scold those of our leaders who make Russia strong.
The deputy Nikonov, apparently, did not occur to the idea that with respect to most leaders of the USSR, the Western press did not write anything similar for the banal reason that the leaders of the USSR did nothing similar. They wrote about the collection of products of the Western automotive industry at Brezhnev. And about billions of billion states, acquired by friends of Lenin and Stalin, as well as Khrushchev and Brezhnev, were not written, since there were simply no friends who became billionaires thanks to the proximity to Soviet leaders. Among the Soviet leaders there were maniacs and executioners, there were tyrants and ignoramuses, but there were no pathological converters who put the converting of a lot of power as a greatest money as the main goal - there were no such people at the top of the Soviet regime. Corruption was, but, firstly, in size by several orders of magnitude smaller, and secondly, not in the main offices of the country, but a lower level: at the level of Churbanov, Medunov, the heads of the Republics of Central Asia and below. And that is why the Western press did not write anything about the corruption of Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev. Since the Western press is able to make mistakes and be tendentious, but total lie is a prerogative of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes.
However, the slurred and confusion of the thought of the main speakers of the modern ruling regime is not news. Some news was already a completely frank game of yange of those who are invited to political talk shows so that they depict an alternative, opposition point of view. In particular, in the Solovyov show, these were the Americans Nikolai Zlobin and Michael Bom. However, Zlobin always, allegedly representing the United States, actually diligently scored goals into his own goal. Bom, albeit ineptly, but still tried to defend the position of the country whose citizen he is. This time, both joined the friendly choir of those who vying condemned the BBC film as false and unproven.
Glorobin throughout the program tried to emphasize that the United States had nothing to do with it, since the film is British. And most importantly, the film is weak, so Russians do not need to pay attention to it.
Participants in the Operation "Repiring" in Solovyov studio all the time seemed to deliberately left the Americans alone with their empty gates, as if they were begging to score a goal. The Americans stubbornly pretended not to notice the opponent’s empty gates and sought to score more heads in their own.
Here Veronika Krasheninnikova excently exclaims: “What is Putin accused of? That he transferred his friends from St. Petersburg to Moscow? So the American presidents who bring teams from their fellow countrymen to the White House do the same. ”
At this moment, the question simply suggested which American analogues correspond to the miraculous transformation into billionaires of all these Rotenbergs, Kovalchukov and Timchelok, whose entrepreneurial genius suddenly woke up magically only at the moment when their long -standing acquaintance Putin became president. And thanks to the acquaintance with which US presidents, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett or Larry Allison earned their billions.
Despite the fact that this couple of Americans, playing gowness, actually agreed in almost everything with the Solovievsky flock, their very appearance of the pack members annoyed and provoked aggression. Moreover, aggression and hysterical cries this time came not only from those who, for example, political scientist Dmitry Kulikov, are usually invited to the studio for this. Then the director Karen Shakhnazarov, who usually played the role of a wise and reasonable guru, broke into a hysteria. “Well, what do you need from us?!”, The “great Russian thinker,” was torn, turning to Michael Bomu and Nikolai Zlobin. “Well, why are you climbing us?! Well, what are you teaching everyone?! ”, He shouted in the face of the dumbfounded Americans, who for some reason did not find a word, albeit not in justification, but at least an explanation of the position of his country.
For example, they could not explain to Russian viewers that it was the Russian state that “climbed” into Ukraine, and stole a piece of territory from it. That these are Russian television channels and other Russian media for twenty years teach Ukrainians how they need to live in their own country. And in the last two years they do this in completely indecent forms and scale. It is Russian media and Russian diplomacy that have recently been trying to carefully teach Europeans how to maintain their identity. What looks especially funny and indecent from representatives of the country, in front of the eyes losing its scientific, cultural, educational and economic potential. The countries in which national identity is increasingly being built on the imperial idea, from which all the near and distant neighbors shy.
