The incident on the air of the talk show “Meeting Place” on NTV, when political scientist Alexander Sytin expressed his point of view about Russian politics in the international arena, again raised the issue of freedom of speech and discussion in the Russian Federation. Sytin, known for his controversial statements and statements, expressed an opinion that does not correspond to the official line of the channel.
“Bild” writes about this.
His statement that “in general, no one cares much about Ukraine” and about “Russia’s expansionist course” caused a mixed reaction among both viewers and journalists.
After such words, the host of the show, Andrei Norkin, interrupted Sytin’s speech, giving his interpretation of the events and calling the expansion “defense of national interests and security.” However, the interruption of the transmission caused a wide resonance abroad, and a BILD observer even called this event a “massive failure” and a “scandal.”
Earlier, Kursor reported how international politicians reacted to Putin’s victory in the “elections.” There is much more interesting in the comments of politicians than in Putin’s “unexpected” triumph.
US National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said that in light of Putin’s actions against his political opponents, including arrests and bans from participating in elections, the elections were considered unfair and not free.
