Roskomnadzor accused YouTube of censorship due to the restriction of the film by the journalist of VGTRK about Beslan

Roskomnadzor called the Youtube administration unacceptable, which established the restriction on the documentary "Beslan" by the journalist of VGTRK Alexander Rogatkin. Only registered users who have confirmed their age can watch the tape. Before viewing, YouTube warns that video hosting users noted this video as unacceptable. It is not recommended for children and people with an unstable psyche.

"Having regarded the actions of the YouTube administration as an act of censorship, Roskomnadzor demanded that Google work in the Russian Federation of strict compliance with the legislation on the dissemination of information that arises from the ban on censorship established by Part 5 of Article 29 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation," the department of the department of the Google LLC leaders, quoted by RIA Novosti .

The RKN noted that the film was broadcast on the air of the All-Russian Compulsory publicly accessible television channel "Russia 1" and does not contain any prohibited information. "

The Google TASS press service reported that complaints from users were received on the video due to demonstration of violence or cruelty scenes. It is forbidden to publish such content on the platform.

“If users find what violates the rules of our community, they can report this. However, if the content contains violence or unpleasant images and gives enough context, we can leave the video, but apply age -related restrictions,” the company explained, calling news reports and documentaries as examples.

The premiere of Rogatkin’s tape took place on September 3, on the day of solidarity in the fight against terrorism, when Russia recalls the dead in Beslan and victims of other terrorist attacks. The film was a kind of answer to the three-hour documentary of Yuri Dudia "Beslan. Remember" released on the 15th anniversary of the tragedy and gained more than 20 million views.

Dud emphasized the attention of the audience on the main issues: as the capture of hostages was possible, what exactly happened inside the school, how negotiations were carried out, whether it was possible to save the hostages, why the authorities were storming, why Russia did not negotiate with terrorists, why did not help the victims of the attack and how Beslan changed Russia. Prophetic journalists fell on a ribbon with criticism, even calls to block such videos under the Fake Law and bring criminal cases on the authors.

Rogatkin, announcing his work, said that it is designed for viewers, "whom all these years fed alternative versions." He called the version presented in the film Dudy's film "Body" and expressed the opinion that now "logic should finally triumph."

According to Medusa , a significant part of Rogatkin’s tape is devoted to criticizing the version of the member of the parliamentary commission to investigate the Juri Savelyev attack that most of the dead hostages were killed as a result of shelling from the grenade launchers from the roof of a neighboring house, and not during explosions of the terrorist bombs, as officially affirmed. The film emphasizes that the version of Savelyev was refuted during the experiments, and the media that supported her live "on Western grants." The film at the time of writing the material totaled 137 thousand views.

The chairman of the Beslan Mother Committee Susanna Dudieva told MBH Media that the film Rogatkin was shown at school at school N1, where there was a terrorist attack. “I asked the administration of our district why new films, when we asked to show, were not allowed, but they showed this film. They said that it was such an instruction of the Federal Security Service,” Dudieva said.

She called Rogatkin’s work “unprofessional, expected and predictable,” noting that he could not block Dudia’s film. Dudieva criticized how Rogatkin talked with Savelyev: "I understand that there is an order and some instructions, but each person has a conscience and his attitude to this event. I did not understand - do not put the other in unnecessary light." She also emphasized that the residents of Beslan "are not important for the investigation of journalists. Investigations of experts, investigators are important to us."

The co -chair of the "Mother of Beslan" Rita Sidakov in a conversation with the "rise" added that "everyone was dumbfounded" by the film by Rogatkin. “They once again emphasized this film that it was not an objective investigation on Beslan. If it were, this film would definitely not be. Yuri Petrovich (Savelyev) was presented with an inadequate person. I did not meet with Rogatkin and producer, but I would like to ask: before putting Yuri Petrovich, you read a lot of readings of hostages?” - Sidakova was indignant. However, the "mother of Beslan" did not complain to the YouTube administration about the tape, she emphasized.

Rogatkin informed RIA Novosti that the broadcaster should take measures in response to the show of the film, that is, the YouTube channel of Russia 1. On his own channel of the journalist, the tape is broadcast without locks. "I think that there will be some refutations, after the film they will tell that, indeed, the terrorists did not shoot in the scattering hostages, and that these corpses from the photographs got up and left. But no, you see, they decided to block on YouTube," Rogatkin said.
