The secret correspondence of two rulers of thoughts - Nikita Mikhalkov and Vladimir Pozner was posted for public display. And spawned a discussion. Main question: which of them is right?
For me, no one. This is not about correctness., and about censorship. more precisely, About, which of them suffered more during the Soviet, and now under the Russian government. Everything is clear with the Soviet government - censorship was. And it was impossible to get around it, for there was a major prohibition: no one, except official authorities, had no right to publish newspapers. Even factory print runs were organs of the directorate and party committee. But what censorship can we talk about today?? Mikhalkovsky "Besogon", as well as the author's Posner program on Channel One, can go on YouTube, where no one can dictate to them, what to post and whom to invite. This is me about the complaint of Vladimir Pozner, that he is forbidden to talk live with Navalny. No need to confuse the editorial policy of the media (not only in Russia, but also in any other country in the world, what about Posner, I remember, and he told) censored. The same Navalny or Dud easily do without federal television channels. Why Mikhalkov or Posner consider, that they have the right to a special relationship with themselves?The “Banned” issue of Besogon “forbidden” by the VGTRK management is a rather strange product. There are channels for such topics., who love conspiracy theories, sorcerers and diviners - for example, NTV or Ren TV. There are a great many theories about the origin of coronavirus, I even got acquainted with some diagonally. To my mind, one of them is very similar to that, that voiced by Nikita Mikhalkov. It's hard to argue with the master, he's great. And I think, it was awkward for the television boss to refuse him. Nevertheless, the director took advantage of the situation in the spirit of the times., own opportunities and lit up the "ban" in all media, which made it possible to promote the YouTube channel “Besogon”. And now its releases collect millions of views, although before the scandal, views were measured in the hundreds of thousands. That is, "censorship" went to Nikita Mikhalkov's benefit. If he holds his ground, it will not depend on anyone at all. Than bad?However, the recent story of the closure of the News front channel on YouTube speaks of, that censorship still exists. And, very tough. But not with us, and the Americans.
