Tatyana Mitkova on the Utube channel "Empathy Manuchi." Shot from the video

Suddenly, from nowhere, Tatyana Mitkova appeared. “From nowhere,” because many viewers, judging by their comments, were sure that the former NTV star had long left the television glade for a well -deserved rest. But no. She left the frame, but remained in a leadership.

What she herself told: and not somewhere, but on the Utub-channel "Empathy Manuchi"-the traditional refuge (with rare exceptions) of old cultural workers. Here, Vyacheslav Manucharov welcoms them here, and they, in response to warmth and affection, indulge in their hearts dear to their hearts, simultaneously cursing colleagues with all their passion, who betrayed their homeland into a year of heavy trials, and swearing allegiance to the power and general line of the party. Others - as, for example, director Svetlana Druzhinina in one of the recent issues - simultaneously solve personal problems, either simply reminding themselves, or trying to add their new masterpieces on the rental or on TV, who are in advance by contemporaries that perform the fate of culture.

Tatyana Mitkova - as if a different case. She does not pull on an old cultural worker (outwardly, at least). True, in response to the congratulations of the host with the thirty years, he coquettishly clarifies: not with her thirty years (suddenly the audience will think that with her), but with the round date of the NTV television company, at the base of which she stood. Well, not for compliments, this bore, successful, well -groomed, almost beyond recognition, a woman on “Empathy of Manchi” (although they are not superfluous)?

Not for compliments, of course. Mitkova came out from behind the frame in order to state differently in the liberal circles, the story of the defeat of the old NTV and to offer his interpretation of what the then apologists of freedom of speech actually fought for. Because, it is not without pride that what happened then hardened her, she learned not to evaluate the events superficially, but to look into their very depths.

"How, after many years, you evaluate the so -called acceleration of NTV?" - asks her Manucharov. “And there was no dispersal as such,” Mitkov instantly answers, ostentally surprised at such an unfair formulation of the host. - These events, of course, are difficult ... The change of owner ... The main shareholder Gusinsky invested in our channel with money. And the money was Gazprom. There was nothing to return. Therefore, Vladimir Alexandrovich began to play a political map to make the channel a victim of the regime. ”

They

The naive and gullible NTV employees, according to Mitkova, were just pawns in this game. And there was no struggle for freedom of speech here.

Those former colleagues who left with NTV simply took advantage of the situation and moved to pre -prepared positions. She, who, before others, realized that they, independent journalists, simply use the oligarchs in their game, proudly went nowhere. To the twice repeated question Manucharov, when she returned back, Mitkova answers evasively. It seems like he doesn’t remember exactly. It is understandable.

This is the most “nowhere” lasted a few days, and on the night of the very “acceleration” that was not there, she together with the new owners and returned so that she no longer leave for any “Nikuda”.

Mitkov recalls the meeting of the NTV team with President Putin, with poorly hidden by tenderness to the owner of the Kremlin, where this meeting took place. “I think now, watching the president for many, many years that he is trying to delve into everything himself.” Well, here's a kind. There were no repression. Just those who wanted to work further. And what was there with loans for apartments that the EnteVashniks received, including you? "Oh, I don’t remember anymore." Again: "I remember here - I don’t remember here." What do you want? Things past years. The reception is win -win.

She sorry for her colleagues who have left the NTV - they live the past, while she herself is in the thick of events and feels quite comfortable. She likes her work. She does not want to change anything. "So here I am a one -man."

Was it necessary for the sake of surfacing, compromises with conscience? No. Never! Was ever ashamed of the “product” of the current NTV? Not either. Unless sometimes experienced a sense of awkwardness, but she did not have a relationship with this “product” itself, having come up with a very convenient niche of a clean informationman. And all that is “yellow” and badly smelling that appeared on the channel after 2001, did not look. But the audience accepted all these “scandals, intrigues, investigations” with a bang. So this is her, the audience, a personal choice: "My deep conviction that TV is not a teacher." One of the teenagers generally said that TV is a piece of furniture.

Her Mitkova, of course, unequivocally supported - “Like all normal people. It is a pity that they did not do it before ... The power today, especially the military, is open as never before. There was no such open in the memorable 90s. ”

Svetlana Sorokina on the YouTube channel "But. Media from Russia. " Shot from the video

It seems that the guest of Manucharov everything (starting from the pose and facial expressions to the last word) rehearsed in advance in front of the mirror and learned the nazuok. Even he, who saw everything, could not resist and asked in the end: "When was the last time you cried?" “Oh, something was like that,” she was at a loss for a second. But then I was found: “I was scared for the cat. He disappeared ... I could not stand it and cried in the corner. " However, the cat was soon found. The tears sang and dried up.

It is curious that

Even the special audience of Empathy Manuchi spoke out of this issue almost in solidarity: “Just a snail in the sink ...

Neither a drop of sincerity in the eyes, nor in words ... Lies are both verbal and visual. Mitkova is an example of how careerism eats everything human. Her speeches, like an empty ringing. "

I read the best comment from someone in social networks: “ Sorokina as an antidote. Urgently!" ( See her interview with the YouTube channel “But the Media from Russia” ).

I also recommend Olga Romanov* in an interview with Katerina Gordeeva*. It is also suitable as an antidote. Three TV stamps. Three favorites of the public. And such different fates.

* Entered the Russian authorities in the register of "foreign regents".

TOP-5 best issues of the week on YouTube

Petrovskaya recommends

YouTube channel "Tell Gordeeva*." Olga Romanova*

Olga Romanova, in the past, the star of the old (present) “REN-TV”, who became human rights activist because of love (so!) And founded the organization “Sitting Rus'”*, is the heroine of the new issue of the Gordeeva*channel*. She, like Mitkova, in the Empathy of Manuchi, also recalls the “skimmed 90s” and her work in perestroika newspapers and on TV. But in a completely different way.

Channel "But. Media from Russia. " Svetlana Sorokina

A link for those who missed the interview of Svetlana Sorokina Yutub-channel “But. Media from Russia”. In it, Sorokina talks about the very dispersal of NTV, which, according to her former colleague Mitkova, was not. Look and read the audience comments on the release. “As we are missing you now. We have not forgotten you. Such as you do not forget ... Conscience, nobility and dignity. The immense respect of Svetlana Sorokina for honesty and decency, ”grateful spectators write. In general, the same antidote.

YouTube channel "Tell Gordeeva*." About those who are waiting for Zhenya Berkovich home

Another issue of the channel “Tell Gordeeva” - “About those who are waiting for Zhenya Berkovich home.” He went on the day when the next meeting was held in court to extend the term of detention in custody of Zhenya Berkovich and Svetlana Petriychuk. Katya Gordeeva met and talked with the 90-year-old grandmother Zhenya Galina Lviv and one of the adopted daughters of Zhenya, 17-year-old Kira. Grandmother with bitterness says that she suddenly realized: she may never again see her granddaughter at home, in St. Petersburg. Because due to age may not live before. A miracle did not happen this time. The court predictably left the girls behind bars until January 10, 2024.

YouTube channel "Editor". Waited

In this issue of "Editor" - the stories of women who make novels with prisoners. These are the so -called waits. Who are they? What do they live? What do they dream about? Why are they looking for happiness with prisoners and is it possible to find it? Meanwhile - anything happens.

YouTube channel "Sheinkin 40". Julius Kim

The famous bard Julius Kim gives an acoustic concert on the Israeli channel "Sheinkin 40" live. In solidarity with the people of Israel, who survived the barbaric attack of terrorists on October 7. He sings his most famous songs - funny and sad, including one of the most piercing: “Herry, my heart. What will I sing away from you? What will I see away from you? Eyes full of tears? ”
