"I am a fool." But not only
Portrait of Anton Krasovsky - a character whose rebirth happened in too short time
QUOTE
Anton Krasovsky
“I am a fool, I didn’t just cross the borders, I erased them unacceptingly ... I think about every child, every mother, every family. And I also think and suffer about each child on the other side, I dream that there are no deaths so that the children do not die. Believe me, the tear of every baby is my pain, my terrible dream. I do not wish anyone to death, nobody.
I am sitting on this air dozens of times a month, and from time to time I bring me somewhere, where the demon that sits on one of my shoulders, as Dostoevsky wrote. And here he brought me. Sometimes I try to solve, and whose life is more important, more necessary, more correct. I am an idiot. There are no such lives.
I do not ask me to forgive me, I ask you to understand, a fool, to understand. I am to blame for my friends, comrades, to the RT team. I am to blame for all mothers who heard this text in horror. I’m guilty, and I will bear this guilt with me, she will be in my dreams and sorrows all my remaining life, I am to blame. I'm not sure that it can be redeemed. I always wanted to be better than the enemy. My country wanted to be better than the enemy, and I, a fool, mixed the good with evil and screwed up, widened. I don’t know if you can forgive me. I will never forgive myself. "
This video lasts four and a half minutes. It was published late in the evening of October 24 in the telegram channel of the still current RT journalist Anton Krasovsky, who was previously removed from the air, the head of the channel Margarita Simonyan. For calls to heat and burn Ukrainian children.
Watch this night video is impossible for one reason: there are doubts about sincerity.
Krasovsky quickly and terribly entered all the last eight months, and on this occasion neither he, nor his bosses, nor the Investigative Committee never reflected.
He is 47. Even young. But by internal filling from Krasovsky, even five years ago, this differs significantly. And the look of some other, not the Anton that many knew. The feeling that somewhere in the Ostankino locked closet is dusting the portrait of Dorian Gray, on which the talented student of Tatyana Bek and a graduate of the legendary literary institute named after them once imprinted. Gorky.
And it’s scary to imagine what features appear on that canvas over and over again.
“Anton is complex”, “Anton is not easy”, “Anton has a shit character,” they talked about him with varying degrees of sharpness of his colleague and friends. But with Anton they talked, argued, friends, baptized children and took this unbearable character, snobbery and selfishness as a given.
Krasovsky always cursed with someone, diverged, clapped the doors, quit, began again. And there was always an oster on the tongue and critical to power.
... The talented student of the Literary Institute of Krasovsky with the submission of Beck once took the chef editor in the program “Book News” on NTV. He advanced rapidly and successfully. Soon he was already a cultural observer alternately: “Evening Moscow”, “Independent Newspaper”, “Kommersant”, Vogue ... The latter happened some large scandal: the team demanded that Krasovsky leave. And he left.
For some time he lingered in a gloss: Harper's Bazaar, Wallpaper, even edited the reference book “100 best restaurants in Moscow”.
At the end of the zero, his name was already known in the media space. Erudite, Snob, Siberit, a person with a good taste, a successful journalist - all this belonged to Krasovsky.
And one more thing: the Krasovsky first half of his sufficient creative path had principles.
Krasovsky and principles
Anton Krasovsky always emphasized squeamishly kept in relation to everything pro -government. He did not work on frankly Kremlin resources, did not post with officials, criticized ... In the winter of 2011, he stood with all caring citizens in Bolotnaya, demanding honest elections, opposed the law on the ban on foreign adoption, expressed in defense of the LGBT community. In 2012, he defiantly left the NTVshniki and Musical Ring NTV programs in protest against the ordered, in his opinion, materials about Mikhail Prokhorov, in the election headquarters of which he worked.
But 2014. Ukraine. Krasovsky is in embroidered shirt, then stands on tires on Khreshchatyk, walks along the Maidan, takes an interview with Poroshenko with Sobchak ... again Kyiv. Maidan again. Having grown in the Rivne region of Ukraine, he often switches to Ukrainian, jokes and sincerely talks with the Kyivians.
This, in fact, is the answer to the question invented by the Russian propaganda, which is Krasovsky himself today: what have you done these eight years?
Eight years later, there will be no trace of a reckless and smiling guy in the embroidered shirt. He will wear dark clothes with the letter Z and urge not only the Russian opposition in the Moika River, but also Ukrainian children, but also burn them in huts.
Krasovsky and RT
To the RT channel to Margarita Simonyan Krasovsky came in 2019. Behind the shoulders there will be a series of scandals and repulsed door jambs. Krasovsky will quarrel with Sobchak and will not fully bring work in her election headquarters in the 2018 presidential election, leave a joint project with Sergey Minaev-Kontr TV TV channel, calling it “Kremlin”, the purpose of which “is propaganda”.
Well, he will go to the Kremlin RT. In fairness: a year and a half Krasovsky made a decent documentary movie on the channel. In particular, about failure to prolong drugs for HIV-positive prisoners and mortality rate in the colonies. A few years ago, who performed with the first in the latest history of Russia Coming out, admitted that he was gay and HIV, Krasovsky knew a lot about the problems of HIV-positive people. And he even founded the Fund for Assistance "Speed Center".
In the fall of 2020, Simonyan appointed Krasovsky broadcasting director in Russian RT, and a little later the host of the Antonyms program.
And if he looked at his Dorian portrait, hidden in the closet, would not have recognized himself, - the features of cruelty and cynicism clearly appeared.
In April 2021, on the air of Antonimov, Krasovsky announced his desire to “throw in the sink” of Petersburgers who came to protests and chanting slogans against the president: “They are going, shouting:“ We are power here! ” I want to tell you responsibly - this is the power here. And this power we will not give you a damn and never, do not even hope. Rejoice that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is in power, and not the same [obscene word] like me. If I were in power, I would naturally tie you all and drowned you straight in this sink. And since a very good, kind and intelligent man has been managing this country for the past 20 years <...>, nothing happens to you. "
The head of RT Simonyan, the words about “drowning in the Moik” were then not fierce, and the head of the UK, Alexander Bastrykin, did not initiate any checks, there were also more Krasovsky - it is enough to recall the liver smeared on asphalt.
Following the same program, Krasovsky expressed sincere joy about the landings of the supporters of Alexei Navalny, already arrested after his return from Germany: “If you are all, this insignificant crowd of morons, now they will put for five years, no one will regret it, everyone will be only happy. The country will breathe freely if you are smaller in the streets. ”
By the way, during this period, the FBK recognized by the foreign agent and the extremist organization announced in his investigation the amount of Anton Krasovsky’s salary on RT - 500 thousand rubles a month.
Yesterday's colleagues, for example, from the same “rain”*, where Krasovsky was once a frequent guest, allowed themselves to comment on the transformation of the journalist. Well, they received a bell. Krasovsky stated that “he always hated this vibertite place ( the environment of liberal journalists. - Ed .). With madness in the eyes, eternal joint booze in cheap taverns, uniform sad conversations about the authorities that will fall tomorrow. ”
Krasovsky and Ukraine. 2022
In January 2022, a month before President Putin’s declaration of a special military operation in Ukraine, the host of RT Anton Krasovsky on the air of Antonimov openly threatened the invasion of troops into Ukraine and the burning of Ukrainians in Khreshchatyk together with their constitution. To his interlocutor - the chief editor of the site Carnegie.ru Alexander Baunov - the presenter explained: the course of the country's entry into NATO is spelled out in this constitution.
“We will introduce troops to Ukraine. This is our land. Fuck you, not NATO! - And Krasovsky, interrupting the interlocutor, put his hand forward several times, making fig from his fingers. “Don't even dream, creatures!” We will take your constitution from you and burn it on Khreshchatyk with you on your own lights, as you love, on tires, on tires. ”
Margarita Simonyan also did not defy this ether.
And then a special operation will begin. Such broadcasts performed by Krasovsky will become the norm. The former esthete, Siberite and connoisseur of Western culture, Krasovsky will fall under the sanctions of the EU and will be a disorderly. It will pretend that this does not care. He will constantly develop the idea that Ukraine as a country does not exist (“I always said that this is our land.
There is no Ukraine, they all went ”), call to ignore the death of Ukrainian children (“ While we will scream: “There are children there too” ... Yes, children. But not ours. You will be our children, we will defend you ”) and call the Ukrainian power“ carrion that all these years killed the people of the Russians ”.
Anton Vyacheslavovich did not bypass the Russians who condemned the special operation and left Russia: “You still need to deal with those who, after the start of the war, left for their Georgia useless, some Yerevans, Rigs. They are scum and traitors. They must be treated as with bastards and traitors. ”
Even the employees of the Speed Center once created from Krasovsky began to turn away-this fall they began to quit the fund due to the participation of the journalist in the information support of military operations in Ukraine.
By the way, in order to accompany these hostilities, Krasovsky and his position in relation to LGBT sacrificed. In September 2022, the president initiated a bill on the prohibition of propaganda of LGBT not only among minors (such a law is already valid), but also among the sexually mature population. The head of state proceeded from the fact that there is a "war of the entire corrupted Western world against our traditional family values." The open gay of Krasovsky was the first to support and approved a new bill ... In Antonyaks, he immediately spoke with a monologue on the topic "The ban on propaganda of LGBT will save Russia."
Although a few years ago the same person stated: “I am a gay and at the same time the same person as you, my dear spectators, like President Putin, as Prime Minister Medvedev, as deputies of the State Duma.”
On October 10, 2022, the critical infrastructure of Ukraine was under missile strikes, as reported by the official representatives of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The host of RT Anton Krasovsky, on this occasion, shared a video with his fans in his social network in the evening: “To say that I am happy is to say nothing at all. I just dance on the balcony in the pajamas "Army of Russia". And he danced-in a cap with Z, some kind of fluttered, unhealthy red, unshaven, not like himself, unclean and bomzhevaty. Seeing.
Two weeks later, Anton Krasovsky uttered the words familiar to himself in recent months regarding the civilian population of Ukraine. Again, drowning and burning, but this time specifically children - after all, they, noted by the propagandist RT, became "victims of propaganda."
The interlocutor of the host in the Antonyma program was science fiction at Sergey Lukyanenko, who also supports a special operation. So Krasovsky explained to him what should be done with Ukrainian children, who believe that the territory of Ukraine is occupied by Russia. “This is not your method, you are intelligent people, science fiction writers, and this is our method. He directly said "Muscovy occupied" - and immediately throw it into the river with a violent, stormy current. "
The somewhat taken aback Lukyanenko replied that in Rus' the rods were traditionally used, to which the leading he stopped him: “They have every hut there is a“ Smerekova Hut ”. And right now in this "Tsarika Hut" to score and burn. "
Three days have passed. In addition to conscientious people, no one on these statements that sounded on the state channel, as always, paid attention. But suddenly in the evening, on the eve of the fourth day, the telegram channel Simonyan released her statement.
It would seem that her subordinate already spoke about children, but this time something went wrong-Margarita Simonyan was indignant. In defiantly publicly, she removed the leader from work.
In the rhetoric of the head of RT, the assessments of her own work never used by her appeared: “wildly and disgusting”, “temporary insanity”, “we cannot afford”. Later, heavy artillery in the form of Alexander Bastrykin, who instructed the SK, connected the words of the leading state channel RT. A couple of deputies who demanded to punish the journalist “according to the maximum severity of the law” did not stand aside, explaining the incident, of course, by the orientation of Krasovsky. Where all these compassionate people were eight years old remained a mystery.
Anton Krasovsky himself promptly and for the first time in his life asked for forgiveness from those who “stunned” from his words, explaining that he “did not see the border”. “Well, it happens like this: you are on the air, it carries you. And you cannot stop. "
And in the evening, Anton without any pajamas “Army of Russia” and dancing on the balcony recorded a video about the tear of the child.
It is unlikely to help. He will be devoured. From the fear that has already clenched a lump in the stomachs of propagandists. A portrait from Chulan to the Ostankino will be taken out into the trash. On it - through the remnants of food waste - it will be possible to consider the rapidly dropped, unlucky man, who never became his own for those whose interests served. Simply - "small demon."
And, perhaps, I will not be able to answer the question: what happened to him and why. This is to exorcists.
