Ilya Milstein: "Discussion on knives"

"Conflicts in journalistic circles differ markedly from showdowns in other environments. If doctors, teachers or, say, hairdressers are scandalized at their workplaces, this rarely becomes the property of the general public. Unless the squabbles will come to the case, and the newspapers will be connected to the case. Opposite relations in our workshop will be carried out quite often to the public. Publicist Ilya Milstein in a column on the website Grani.ru .

“Sometimes it’s just personal enmity, and here, amazed readers, sometimes for years, you have to observe how two respected author has printed each other with the penultimate words and accuse each other in cooperation with the KGB. But more often we are talking about irreconcilable ideological disagreements - of course, also with the transition to personality. Otherwise it does not happen.

The discussion about who was poisoning who, which unfolded some time ago between Alexei Venediktov and Vladimir Solovyov with the like -minded people who joined them, from this series. Only earlier the game went, as a rule, to the same gate. The journalists of the state took off their revealing epubractions or spoke orally at the address of cosmopolitan journalists. In response, accusations of slander and the creation of the "atmosphere of hatred", accompanied by evaluative judgments against the Solovyevi-Kiselovs, were sounded, and the disputes usually ended on that. Since the forces are obviously unequal, and the uniform propaganda crafts have long been put on the stream did not give rise to a strong desire to look at them and somehow respond to them.

The situation changed after a citizen of the two fraternal countries penetrated the "Echo of Moscow" and hit Tatyana Felgenhauer with a knife in his throat with a knife . Then I recalled many, as two weeks before the attack on the journalist, the Russia 24 channel was noted by the report of Kazakov and Podkovenko about the "echo of the State Department" , one of the heroes of which became Felgenhauer. Traditionally false reports, which at first caused only squeamishness and slight anxiety: this is another serious collision with the radio station or amateur performers, confident in their impunity and that the authorities will only praise for another “investigation”? Two weeks later, when the mentally unbalanced Russian -speaking tried to kill the one that was declared an enemy of the people, the usual slander of the guestelekanals suddenly turned into a criminal offense.

A little later, on social networks, they exchanged opinions about each other Ksenia Larina with Solovyov , and the editor -in -chief of Echo announced that he would evacuate his employee from Russia. In addition, Alexei Alekseevich turned to the TFR with a request to interrogate the workers of the VGTRK , among other these Kazakov with Podokovenko, the authors of the sensational report. So that during the interrogation, the investigation would ask if this was incitement, would give qualifications, then we would look at this qualifications and understand what to do next.

Yes, this is how it flows - an ideological struggle in journalism, although not always in such a sharp form. The circumstances of the time and place are given to the conflicts, and if it already reaches the throat, then on social networks among the softest evaluative judgments at the same Solovyov’s address, you can find the word “cattle”. And Venediktov, who heads the editorial office, which, according to him, never sued anyone, dreams of seeing his defendants on the bench. That is, he is looking for protection from Bastrykin, which could cause a feeling of bewilderment, if it would not give rise to another, stronger. A sense of solidarity.

And it arises not only because they argue, as if to say, colleagues and you cannot stay away and do not stay. And therefore, mainly, that in these debate of normal people with absolute scum, a certain public discourse is traced, which comes down to the fact that nothing threatens the villains, but they need to resist. For that, at least in order to clearly and, if possible, talk in detail about what they are doing and what is happening in the country. This is useful in principle, as well as on the eve of the elections, which are unlikely to become fateful for Russia, but give an occasion to think about what is happening aloud. At the state level and in our workshop, in our showdown, mirroring reality.

Yes, and the crime should be disclosed, of course, in the framework of a journalistic investigation, because there is little hope for a quick hope, and at first Boris Gritz, who entered into telepathic contact with his victim, somehow closed in himself and does not give evidence. And there is reason to believe that there is a direct connection between the persecution, which almost all, without exception, is the opposition and journalists who fulfill their duty, and the actions of individual citizens. Too impressionable, or something, and in other cases performing a responsible state task.

It is also important to show with affordable examples that the criticism of some shortcomings in the work of individual modern strachers is not a persecution. It is equal to attempts to attract them to trial. Moreover, they react to this nevertheless nervously, and they do the right thing, because for many years, knowing what they have been doing, they are engaged in incorrect hatred for compatriots and call for reprisals, and this is a criminal article. Regardless of whether a specific suspect Grits is watching their programs or does not look. It will probably be difficult to prove their guilt in this case, especially if you expect this from employees of the TFR. It is much easier to prove their guilt in many other cases in journalistic sites. That's why you should still maintain an absentee dialog with them and contact Bastrykin, registering crimes they committed - for future ships. That is why these journalistic discussions are needed - in a public field, which favorably distinguishes them from all others. They sound loud and remembered well. "
