Do not hope, in Russia the power is strong!

How federal channels talked about mass detentions in Moscow (spoiler: almost nothing)

Federal television channels ignored the largest inconsistent protest of the last time in Moscow, dedicated to the elections to the Moscow City Duma. Despite the fact that thousands of participants for half a day walked a procession in the city center and at some point even blocked the garden ring, they did not tell this in any news release on Channel One, Russia 1 and NTV. The first channel in the final program "Time" also ignored the Moscow campaign. Here's what they told about the “Return the right to elections” in other programs (a retelling of the ether is given, direct quotes are given in quotation marks).

"Vesti-Moscow. Week in the city "

"The action turned out to be not peaceful at all." Participants knew in advance that the rally was not authorized. Leaders were generally detained in advance. The protesters first persuaded the police, then insulted, then bottles, pieces of asphalt and pepper gas were used. "The patience of the security forces of the protesters, obviously, took to weakness." The Rain television channel called for a large face of police officers, and this is already similar to the “peacekeeper” base.

Some participants had no relation to Moscow elections: some were not registered in Moscow (there may be up to a third of all the protesters), others have not yet been 18 years old. Recall that some independent candidates found signatures of deceased people. But they did not go to court, but decided to arrange inconsistent shares.

"The elections were not interested in anyone-we needed a conflict, a clash." And when activists began to detain, familiar remarks from the Maidan began to scream: “They are children!” If they tried to arrange it in Europe, then they would be met with rubber bullets, water bodies, tear gas and light -school grenades. “The Moscow police, although she used batons, but still for the most part acted hard, but neatly.”

Update . The same plot was shown in the "Vesti of the Week", but only in the version for Central Russia. There was no plot in the record that was released for the Far East, which was used in the preparation of the material.

"Sunday evening with Vladimir Solovyov"

We give Solovyov’s performance completely with minor abbreviations.

Who arranged it and what was it? On the 20th - a rally permitted on Sakharov Square arrives, according to various estimates, from 12 to 22 thousand people. There were no incidents, everything is within the framework of the law. Please, everything is fine. But there he shouts: “No, we will go out to the Moscow City Hall!” Where, by the way, there are no possibilities to collect a large number of people without blocking Tverskaya. “We will go there, unauthorized!” Who calls? Citizens who could not fulfill the requirements of the current legislation in Moscow and collect signatures in order to be registered as candidates for deputies. They found too high marriage in their signature sheets - they found the dead, fakes. At the same time, all election commissions are with them in a “creative” dialogue, listen to claims, accept comments. <...>

But they choose a different path. They choose the path of disobedience to the law. Trying to put pressure on the law! Three and a half thousand people (this is the data of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate), 700 [of them] are journalists who worked for the duration of this unauthorized action. The organizers say that there were from five to ten thousand. Two thousand out of three - visitors! At least, when more than a thousand people detained, it turned out that 600 people from the detainees were not Muscovites at all. This means that an active recruiting of all possible potential order violators was carried out that came to Moscow with the only task - to arrange actions for Western pictures here for social networks. And show how they believe that they are power here. <...>

The authorities behaved extremely correctly. The police did not use, unlike France, water bodies, did not spray gas, did not shoot with rubber bullets. Officers and ordinary ordinary both the Russian Guards and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who listened to such dirt and such an abomination, worked brilliantly. It was shouted in the face of people who passed Chechnya! Who risked their lives so that there was no terrorism in Russia. <...>

Moscow, I want to remind you, since the World Cup has has all the necessary video surveillance resource. Therefore, all those who beat the police in the face threw stones at them, which sprayed gas cans in the crowd, threw checkers - they will be forced to encounter justice. <...>

We know too well what this kind of action leads to and who is behind them. We see this on the example of the Maidan. And they are not power here, but the people of the Russian Federation! Which chooses its power in a legal way, legal methods. And if someone believes that the law has not been written for him, he will be forced to encounter all the perfectly valid, just mechanism of enlightenment. Including court decisions. In Russia, power can be any other than weak. Now - do not hope, in Russia the power is strong!

"Today" (final release)

Most of the detainees were released ( the presenter began the story with the consequences, without explaining what kind of action was in Moscow and for what reason - approx. Medusa ). Many Nemoskvichi who came to the action. There were provocations on an inconsistent action: gas was sprayed towards the police. Well, for comparison - 3.5 thousand people came to the action, and 400 thousand at once at the Burgerfest in Gorky Park. “The leaders of the liberal opposition seemed to have lost in popularity here.”
