A former adviser to the governor of the Vladimir region said that “politicians are yearning for opposition journalism” | Argument

Chairman of the Union of Journalists of the Vladimir Region, former official representative of the mayor's office of Vladimir, Alexander Karpilovich, met with students of the Faculty of Journalism of Vladimir State University.

Karpilovich was fired from his post as an adviser to Governor Alexander Avdeev after being fined for driving without a license. Previously, he was deprived of his driver's license for refusing a medical examination for intoxication.

“Working a lot with politicians at various levels, I hear a lot of private conversations. And politicians yearn for opposition journalism and pressing issues: “For a long time I have not met a journalist who would take me and dissect me, and I would enter into a discussion with him. They ask according to the training manual, which I wrote,” Karpilovich told the students.
