Mr. Prokopenko, the famous author of films about flat land, Martian bases and nuclear war, biological weapons from the DNA of Ukrainian soldiers, front-line escortniki , the introduction of donor blood from the HIV-infected, the descendants of the Nazis among officials in Kiev and the creator of others, no less than nuclear and banal conspiracyological plots, the prize was not given at all for them. With the wording “for the organization of a living dialogue with the Russians during the period of a special military operation”, he received it not as a television company, but as the head of the ANO “Center for Assistance to Patriotic Education“ Military Secret ””.
“Igor Prokopenko,” the host of the ceremony announced, “the author and manager of the project“ Charitable creative meetings: Talk about the most important with Igor Prokopenko ”. Charity meetings Prokopenko are not quite, however, charitable - the presidential fund of cultural initiatives allocated 7.5 million rubles for them for a cycle of lectures in five cities of Russia. The amount is not discouraging, although, of course, the cost of a lecture, even in another city, may seem slightly overstated to someone at 1.5 million rubles.
But Prokopenko is a famous person in the country; In 2019, in Novaya Gazeta there was even a report from his creative evening in Volgograd. Nadezhda Prusenkova wrote that on the morning on the day of the meeting of tickets (there were a lot of costs for Volgograd - from 1800 to 2500 rubles), and the book of Prokopenko - from “myths about health” to “Weapons of the Future” - were in time. Prokopenko himself at that meeting made an important astrophysical statement: “I do not claim that the earth is flat. But prove to me that she is round. And such evidence is not enough ”, figured out the problems of toothpaste, and also acted as Aristotle of our time:“ I will tell you that it can be an alternative to democracy. An alternative can be the Russian people! ”
Given the popularity of freaks, and even now, after the start of the war, when Prokopenko is firing at his unfortunate spectators from all brain-consuming guns (only occasionally interrupting the old-fashioned and even classical “secrets of mirrors” ), I believe that it is quite possible to monetize without presidential sponsorship.
The disability of Prokopenko and his teams must be paid tribute to: they produce crazy content in overwhelming volumes.
“The most shocking hypotheses” come out every three days, “Military Secret” - once a week; On the Labyrinth, Prokopenko is listed as an author of 117 books , a total of the sold circulation - 1.3 million copies. According to these parameters, as well as for love for the artistic “creative evenings”, Igor Prokopenko is such Vladimir Solovyov for a particularly gifted audience, niche conspiracyologists, readers not even TASS and RIA, but “Komsomolskaya Pravda”. But visually and in style, of course, he is closer to Sergey Druzhko .
People who remember him in the past timescall him "the author of excellent documentary films [at the time when Ren-TV was led by Irena Lesnevskaya]" and "a serious seemingly journalist." And it’s hard to believe in one more thing today: God with them, with aliens and pyramids, in the end there is a business, and trash is a trash. But Prokopenko is not always in the image: giving an interview and not prepared script reading, but speaking from the heart, he also weaves unthinkable nonsense, unfortunately, not interesting even for analysis. Say, here is a quote from an interview that he gave in Ufa in January 2023:
“Take, for example, the famous children's writer Redyard Kipling <...> But he was an employee of British intelligence Mi-6. He entered our history as a writer, and in the history of Europe - the most evil and implacable Russophobe <...> or Daniel Defoe. And he is an employee of British intelligence, a political scientist who wrote a lot of how to destroy Russia. We know that on June 22, 1941, fascist Germany was treacherously attacked the Soviet Union. But few are aware that in March 1940 the UK and France were preparing to attack the USSR. ”
Needless to say, in addition to the date on June 22, 1941, in the fragmented, there is not a single true thesis at all. At the same time, it seems that here he says sincerely - like the very “garage grandfather” of the memes, who re -read the yellow pages of the Internet and decided that he would now tear all the covers from secrets before his grandchildren. An interesting phenomenon, when the propagandist becomes indistinguishable from the victims of his own propaganda, again before our eyes. It is impossible for so many years to pronounce a crazy text from the screens and think that external manifestations will not become internal.
On this approach, by the way, the acting systems of Mikhail Chekhov and Vsevolod Meyerhold were built: while Stanislavsky proposed to go from the internal to the external, they (his opponents), on the contrary, were looking for faithful movements, external expressions of the character. And from external manifestations, they believed, the correct internal state will be born by itself.
Do not convince yourself that NATO is under the control of reptiloids - just act as if it is true, and the internal mechanism of self -justification will turn on you by itself. It seems that this is exactly what happened to Prokopenko, and with all the other television propagandists-ziniki, who once decided to play the game in this dangerous psyche.
The peculiarity of the case Prokopenko and Ren-TV is how crazy conspiracy stories about pyramids, global conspiracies, about the danger of vaccines, flat land, etc. are easily consistent with the official state propaganda, when the parliamentary commission (!) Of the Council of the Federation of Russia (!) Under the command of Valentina Matvienko (!) Prepares the report (!) About the beams (!) Mosquitoes, ticks and lice (!) As part of the American program to create biological weapons in Ukraine (!) And sends this report to the “All Parliaments of the World”.
Contradictions, randomness, lack of nothing, the absence of any scheme, system, ideology, and even just ideas-all this is not at all enemies, but the allies of the Federal Propertias; And those who are trying to fight with her should be taken into account. If you collect all their statements together, as well as all theses from Prokopenko’s programs in recent years, you will get an obvious nonsense; However, this nonsense works because it is tactical and it is required to explain and tell only specific plots, and the plots that are in constant dynamics. After all, their goals are changing, but they remain unchanged , remember?
From this point of view, Rospropaganda is the same conspiracyology, deployed in a specific plane of explanation of political actions in the back. What does the invasion of the neighboring country have whether Russians and Ukrainians are one people or not ?? What does the origins of the Ukrainian language have to do with the missile shelling of cities? What, finally, is the attitude to the fact that you cannot kill people, has the question of legalizing same -sex marriages?
The answer is no. This is just dust in the eyes of people who really have nothing to say.
Igor Prokopenko of the 2014 model, by the way, was even partially agreed with this. In an interview that he gave in Voronezh, of course, there was also a lot of delirium. But to the question, “when the war ends” in Ukraine, he answered as follows:
“The war ends when there are winners in it. In this case, there is no winner. Donbass did not achieve its goals, Kyiv did not reach, Washington did not reach, and Moscow did not achieve its goals. There is a great chance that it will continue. I would very much like this war not to be fed on the battlefield, but in the silence of cabinets in negotiations. Now for any reason they say: everything is decided by money. So in this case, let this issue be solved better than someone’s blood. ”
