"Do you often hear that we have serfs?" What in Russia they say about protests in the United States

The whole world is discussing the United States. Now there are mass protests due to the murder of the police of the African American. Russia is no exception. True, we, as in many countries, are served with a certain emotional coloring, far from always objective.

TV

First of all, this is noticeable by television programs that go on federal television. There is no, no, and it skipping an assessment attitude towards America and their “racial problems”. Moreover, they took up the plot thoroughly, only when they realized that the country "began mass riots and looting." They felt for the topic, so to speak.

The first situation was highlighted by The Channel One. The report appeared on May 27, two days after the murder of the 46-year-old African American George Floyd. The presenter of the evening news, Kirill Kleimenov, argues : “America. How much I hear about this country - and this is probably already 40 years old - all this time they have the main problem - relations with the Negro population. This problem is not solved in any way, no political correctness takes it. ”

“Many times have been noticed - in Russia serfdom was canceled simultaneously with slavery in the United States. But liberal -minded colleagues consider our country backward in a social sense. And America, on the contrary, is the most advanced. And here I have a very simple question. A century and a half passed with a lord, both with us and them, by the way. Do you often hear about the fact that we have somewhere in Kostroma of serfs? I have never heard of this. But in America ... look at yourself. "

The report itself is only the eleventh in the line of news in the evening issue. The video tells about the brutal detention and murder of the African American George Floyd, who allegedly tried to pay a fake bill. The report tells how one death entailed widespread protests, and also recall other cases of a “slave attitude” of police officers to African Americans.

True, the video ends with these words of the reporter Georgy Olisashvili: “Recently, such scandals happen so often that it seems not only to conspiracygists to be suspicious.”

About the riots in the USA "Channel One" did not forget in any evening air. They talked about the Russian Russian accusation of protesting, and about the US President Trump, who accuses the Ultralevs hidden in the bunker, and about the growth of riots throughout the country, and about the “ streets in the power of looters ”. The speech of reporters was full of evaluative judgments: the protesters “plenty” shouted, among the protesters there were provocateurs, and the rebels have “nothing saint” - even the church burned.

The main video was shown on Sunday, May 31, in the program “Time” with Ekaterina Andreeva. The video came out capacious and informative. The same reporter Georgy olisashvili described in detail the circumstances of George Floyd’s death, the arrest of the police Derek Chuvin, compared the cruelty of the police with similar cases in Turkey and Egypt, and remembered the injured correspondent of RIA Novosti, which the police deliberately burst into the eyes of tear gas . In the video were the performances of the governor and the president, and the shooting of eyewitnesses of events, including the robbery of shops and arson.

At the end, the current events in the United States are compared with the last scene from the 2019 Joker movie. “The old ones, having lost their sore problems, cause a surge in violence. Coronavirus, unemployment, Lockdown, wars, trade, cold and real. There is only a reason, and with such a wealth of choice it will definitely be found, ”the voice behind the scenes ends the report.

Assistant to the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medinsky agrees with the point of view of the journalists of Channel One.

Much less about riots in America was spoke of other federal channels. “Russia 1” on the air of the evening news only on May 29 mentioned the “History in Minneapolis” precisely in this formulation. Not a word about the murder, only about the desire of Donald Trump to close Twitter due to the censorship of his own tweets.

The next day, in the evening broadcast, not a word about the protests of the Americans. But in the Sunday program “Vesti of the Week with Dmitry Kiselev” the plot “The point is not in George Floyd and his killer: the Americans want to change the system” took as many as 20 minutes.

“I understand that if something similar happened in Russia, then new sanctions would have already been imposed on us, America would have already gathered the UN emergency council of human rights in Russia, and the European Union would also do something unpleasant for us,” the presenter Dmitry Kiselev argues. - But since this is America, and there is a similar attitude to black - accepted practice, no one in the world jerked. If in Russia 100 thousand people died from coronavirus, as it is now in America, then we would be carried in all bumps in the Western press, and now they only regret that so few Russians have become victims of the epidemic. ”

The journalist wonders on what grounds it is America that all the time is trying to teach the planet how to live. Kiselev tells the story of the CNN reporter Omare Himenes, whom the police detained during his live broadcast on the channel. “Attention, the question is: if Omar Jimenez was white, would it happen? The question is rhetorical. Everything happened in accordance with the culture adopted in America, ”the presenter sums up.

In the report itself, they also recall the alleged Russian sabotage of the riots, the history of the police killer and the victim both among the pickets and among the police. A separate theme of the plot was the protection of quarters from the protesters with weapons.

NTV cost a short video in the program “The results of the week with Irada Zeynalova”, and then they spoke much less about the riots themselves than about the information war with China and Trump's perch with Twitter. As in other subjects, they mentioned the conflict of Donald Trump and the mayor of Minneapolis Jacob Freim, who does not agree with the President’s decision to enter his troops into his city.

Tigran Keosayan did not take such an interesting topic for discussion on the NTV International Pylorama television channel - the last issue of May 30 mentioned Trump only on the occasion of the US withdrawal from the open sky.

The host of REN TV Andrei Dobrov in his weekly program “Dobrov on the air” compares Russia and the United States: “For three months of the Russian Pandemia, not only overdate, not only the terrible overload of the medical system, but also political unrest. It would seem, well, what unrest can be when everyone is sitting home, and the most freedom -loving liberals, judging by their blogs in social networks, require more rigid quarantine measures, more restrictions, less this coughing cattle on the streets, so that God forbid not a single coronavirus salivary in our direction flew in our direction. But see what is happening in the USA. ” The host is interested in whether it is like the script of the Arab Spring, when the death of one person becomes a catalyst for mass riots. Dobrov assumes that the media specifically “adds oil to the fire” to help presidential candidate Joe Biden, who spoke out in akidly about the elections “because of the obviously advancing dementia”.

And others

Without international attention, the editor -in -chief of RT Margarita Simonyan did not remain. On her telegram channel, she replaced the appeal of journalist Dmitry Stoshin to the “Minnesota Negro”. The Bellingcat investigative project on its Twitter account translated some of the passages, which the publication called racist .

RT was caustically answering journalists and even made news about this on their English -language website.

Margarita did not forget the history of the United States.

I remind you that the most bloody war in the entire history of the United States was precisely civilian. The war of the Americans with the Americans. In which more Americans died than in the Second World War.

And what this war was about, they still remember.

A universal argument 'And your blacks linen' are debunked. Bring the new one.

Even Seinen, who in the morning shied only about the fellow policemen and the Vanza-Wandals, has now erupted with a material with a set of such quotes:

- Margarita Simonyan (@m_simonyan) May 30, 2020

And I did not forget about the Maidan.

In almost any other country, such a Maidan, like now in the States, would very quickly lead to a change in the regime.

But in America it will not lead. Because America does not have a second America that would help this Maidan.

In the transfer of NTV “its own truth”, the editor -in -chief RT compared the Russian and American police: “We like to say that this is our police is cruel. But remember that we have not used tear gas since 93 years. In the United States, more than a thousand people die every year every year, almost all. And the police most often remains unpunished. ” According to Margarita, units die in Russia at the hands of the police, and then in dangerous situations where employees neutralize dangerous criminals.

The leader of the Libertarian Party Mikhail Svetov also spoke ambiguously about what was happening in the United States.

Other well-known telegram channels are also heated by the situation . In their opinion, the United States protects its main value - “propaganda”.

TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov did not stand aside. “And we are all scratching in the back of the head and do nothing ...”, the journalist wrote about Trump’s decision to ban Twitter.

In his Instagram, the presenter is more modest - he simply describes what is happening in America.

The question "Why didn't you post the video, how do the police work in Russia?" Under one of the posts, Vladimir left unanswered.

The head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, demanded that the US authorities stop the lawlessness in his telegram. True, in Russian.

The Russia 24 television channel even made a review to the reaction of the Russian opposition to clashes in the United States.

Although the same Petr Verzilov actively commented on the situation in America on his Twitter.

In Los Angeles, now the commandant hour from 5 pm, aaaaa. From 17.00, well, wow.

Of course, it is weakly observed, but in areas where there are no protests, cops are delayed just a walking people in the evening.

The presenter Anton Podkovenko compares the lifelong terms for a bottle of burning mixture in the United States with the case of Yevgeny Kovalenko, who received 3.5 years in a colony for throwing a garbage tank towards a police officer. The host also did not forget to mention the other participants in the Moscow Affairs - Kirill Zhukov, Ivan Podkopaev, Vladislav Sinitsa. “Can you imagine what would they have in America? But it is unprofitable to scold imaginary fighters with the state regime, ”criticizes Opposition Podkovenko.

“That summer, when the crowd, which was invited by conventional liberals, demolished the fences in Moscow, the police did not even raise batons, although people came to these supposedly peaceful rallies with knives and gas cans. They were simply disarmed, ”the journalist recalls.

This is not to say that all the media and public personalities in Russia are configured against the United States and describe the situation in a similar way. You can simply hear more those who have state support. You can see an interview about protests in the United States both at the rain and in RTVI reports . Another thing is that in a regular TV to the whole country this will not be shown.
