The embezzlement of Kandelaki

Around the Russian sports television channel, the Match-TV unfolds the next scandal, which will soon go to dozens of its launch in October 2015. A video has flowed on the Internet in which the freelance commentator of the Canal Gennady Orlov talks about his actual bankruptcy and calls the “little -educated person” of Roman Rotenberg, the son of Boris Rotenberg, one of the closest friends of Vladimir Putin. The colleague of Orlov Kirill Dementiev on the same record confirms the poor situation for the match and talks about the huge salary, which, despite the crisis, is received by the director of the channel Tina Kandelaki .

Here is the decoding of this fragment of the conversation (Orlov is outraged that the match did not provide financial support to the family of Vladimir Pereturin , the famous Soviet and Russian sports commentator who died on May 22):

Orlov: - Well this is a disgrace that this channel is our largest ... I now read how much this money earned this money there ... "

Dementiev: - Do you know how much Tina earns? It's even worse!

Orlov:-And with Tina ... They generally bankrupt the match-TV. I also go beyond the state, like most commentators.

Dementiev: - That's all, they have already went bankrupt.

Orlov: - Maybe one carpin will remain ...

Dementiev: - Yes, yes, soon nothing will remain.

Orlov: - The fact is that the three -year budget for a year and a half was trampled. And now they sent, put an economist, so he is hiding everywhere, his task is simply to remove everyone.

The video also contains the third participant in the conversation - sports commentator Alexei Andronov, who also at one time worked for the match -TV. The recording was made on Thursday, May 25, before the direct broadcast of the sports program "Offside.tv", which is released on the social network "VKontakte" . Andronov and Dementiev act as the presenters, and Orlov was their next guest. All three were sure that the broadcast had not yet begun, but eyewitnesses say that the conversation fell into the release, and then was cut out of the final version of the program.

Alexey Andronov and Kirill Dementyev were dismissed from the match -TV in February 2016 (Andronov according to the official version - in connection with the "restructuring of the staff", according to unofficial - for unpleasant words to the adherents of the "Russian world" ). Andronov, as a result, did not return to the channel, and Dementyev in August of the same 2016 began to comment on the matches again - though not the most rated, but the games of the German football league on the match "match!" Channel "Football 3".

Soon on YouTube, a 10-minute video of the conversation of commentators, which accidentally got on the air, was published. It has even more interesting. Andronov tells how he tried to return to the match after removal from the broadcasts, but he was simply “muddy”. Orlov calls Kandelaki and other managers of the match-TV “uninteresting” and notes that he never even communicated with the director of the channel, because "he does not want to talk with people who are unpleasant for him." He calls the Match-TV program "no" and "not related to television."

He got from Orlov and Roman Rotenberg - vice -president of the Russian Hockey Federation and St. Petersburg Club SKA, the son of entrepreneur Boris Rotenberg, one of the closest friends of Vladimir Putin. On May 24, Roman Rotenberg received a prize of the Russian hockey federation and the professional hockey league as the "best leader of the hockey club". “They give - funny - a prize to the best leader of the club - Roman Rotenberg. I treat him without sympathy, a little -educated person,” Gennady Orlov notes in the video.

After the appearance of the video, Orlov erupted with an angry commentary, calling it a "provocation" and "impudently mounted sounding of sound." The commentator claims that the match-TV did not talk about any bankruptcy, but at the same time brings his apologies to the “management and all employees” of the TV channel. The press service of the match-TV (which, in fact, distributed Orlov’s apology) said that the channel did not plan any large-scale reductions.

Kirill Dementiev called the "scoundrel" of the St. Petersburg sports journalist Anton Vanyushov , who published a video with fragments of a conversation on Twitter. A 10-minute entry on YouTube was placed, presumably, a correspondent for the Soviet Sports, Vladislav Usachev .

On Friday, Vanyushov published a video message in which he explained that he watched the air broadcast with Orlov like thousands of other users. He recorded a small fragment of commentators from the screen on the phone and posted on Twitter. According to Vanyushov, a complete recording of the program with a scandalous piece that was not intended for the broadcast was available on the Offside.TV page for another 2.5 hours after the end of the broadcast.

Interestingly, on May 25, the match-TV became a defendant in another scandal. Dmitry Navosh, General Director of the Sports.ru portal, accused the channel of unfair citation-supposedly the text borrowed from the website Sports.ru was read by the host of the “match” without any changes and references to the source.

We thank MatchaT for the texts of Sports.ru in our air (sorry, without indicating the source). This is not FNL - it means that you can: https://t.co/xa5fbo6kg8 pic.twitter.com/h0cmzpcumx

The press service of the match-TV apologized for this incident and assured that she took measures to prevent such cases in the future. In April 2017, the match-TV, on the contrary, accused Sports.ru of the "pirate" use of videos, the rights to which the channel has. In the leadership of Sports.ru, these accusations rejected, saying that they use the content of the match on legally.
