State-Run Russian News Channel Makes a Play for Serbian Market

Text of report by Russian state news agency ITAR-TASS

Belgrade, 19 May: The [state-run] Russian TV news channel Vesti- 24 is offering Serbia conditions that could not be more favourable. As of today, local cable networks will be able to receive its signal and distribute Vesti-24's programmes to their subscribers free of charge, Dmitriy Mednikov, the Russian TV channel's editor-in-chief, said today at a news conference in Belgrade.

According to him, Serbia will now be the only country in the world with which Vesti-24 cooperates in this way. "We are also going to enter the Serbia market with other technological investments," Mednikov pointed out. The TV channel is also showing an interest in setting up joint business projects with Serbian colleagues. There is a possibility that the Vesti-FM radio station will also start broadcasting in Serbia soon, he said.

At present, local cable network subscribers can receive the programmes of [state-controlled] Channel One [Russia's most popular TV channel], while people who own satellite dishes can also see RTR- Planeta [the external service of Rossiya, Russia's second most popular TV channel]. Vesti-24's initiative will substantially increase the Serbian audience's access to up-to-date Russian- language TV news.

In parallel with the Vesti-24 signal, from now on Serbian cable operators also have the opportunity to receive the programmes of RTR- Planeta, legally and for minimal payment.

Putin: “Western propaganda machine is incredibly powerful”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We all know that for example the whole American (British) society is one war machine designed to conquer and exploit others around the world. This is not something new, the roots are in Victorian colonial fascism that prepared the whole “superior” nation to conquer the world, similar as Hitler did in Germany. Their media, their Hollywood false art, their criminal economy everything is in function of the greedy primitive capitalist expansion. The loss of fundamental morality is the main reason for their decline and more frequently arrogant irrational behaviour. Because they accepted deceit as a normal reality their moral credibility is reduced to zero and that will be the main reason for rapid decline of a “New Roman empire”. Please listen to this and see why Western bastards are getting nervous. Because they are realising they are dealing with the Great Russian Patriot who knows them too well.

Deceit is their heritage from the Roman empire, and even though immoral it is a powerful tool, and not everyone can see through their lies.

I am not so sure that nobody knew .It is more like someone finally said in public what we already know for decades.

Jeżeli nic się nie zmieni , jeżeli nie nastąpią zmiany w świecie zachodnim do którego przecież należy polski kraj , skończy się szokujacym finałem . Od środka ktoś rozwali ten czy inny zachodni kraj - właśni ludzie - oby do tego nie doszło .

Pamiętam ten obraz chłopaka ze Stanów , należacego do Talibów , długa broda , zupełnie wycieńczony leżał razem z innymi w Talokan , Tahar , może Kandahar, zmęczony niemal wyczerpany wypowiadał słowo - Szariat - jaki to był błysk w oku
( potem go w Stanach osądzono ) - takich scen się nie zapomina.

Good responce for western propaganda is slavic propaganda. Just look at the results of first wholeslavic congress in Praha 1848. But slavic people now , are less united then in the years they fought for freedom. Now they have some kind of virtual soverenity in their countries and they couldnt see in front of their noses. I think that russian energetic systems have much more power than propaganda an I beleive that language of energy will rule Europe in future. Then, we can change points of wiew anywhere, even in history. Till then we can only watch Rambos and Schwartzies and sometimes Slava Zaytsev in Holywood movies.

What happened to Reality Macedonia? Is there anywhere an archive to read its old stuff online?
And is there maybe a descendant website?

WHO YA GONNA BELIEVE...





by Patrick Armstrong

The Associated Press or your lyin’ eyes?

AP reported Saturday’s demonstrations in Moscow as follows.

For the anti-Putin (”For Clean Elections”) demonstration in Bolotnaya Square: “The protest — which drew 120,000 people, according to organizers”.

The pro-Putin (“Anti Orange”) demonstration at Poklonnaya Gora: “A separate rally in Moscow in support of Putin drew no more than 20,000 people. Most of them were teachers, municipal workers, employees of state-owned companies or trade union activists, who had come with co-workers on buses provided by their employers.”

However, thanks to the New Media, we no longer have to swallow what the Associated Press says. Here are photos of the pro-Putin demonstration and here are films. Poklonnaya Gora is a very large space and, as this photo shows, it was full (the distance from where the photo was taken to the buildings in the background is about 700 metres). Photo source: www.ridus.ru/_ah/img/dl970h1_gN45KnJ-v6GPwA



Here is a space calculator with which, dear readers, you are invited to play, comparing the photograph and your estimate of how tightly packed the crowd is. (When the program loads, hit the button that says ÍÀ×ÀÒÜ and move the tabs at the top around to fit what you estimate the photo to show). You will have no problem getting more than 100,000 and perhaps as many as 150,000. A far distance from AP’s “no more than 20,000”. And also consider how many buses it would take to bus them in. If 50,000 were bussed in, that would be more than 1000 buses which would amount to a tightly-packed line of buses 10 kilometres long or about the distance from Poklonnaya Gora to the Kremlin walls and back again. Surely someone would have noticed!


By the way, note the little high narrow church to the right: that is St George’s Church in Poklonnaya Gora. If you see it on TV purporting to be the anti-Putin demo – as apparently has happened at least once – you’ll know you’re being manipulated.

Here are two photo sets of the anti-Putin demos and a space calculator for that. For contrast, here is an overhead photo of Saturday’s demonstration and one of December’s demonstration in the same place. Large to be sure, “tens of thousands” certainly, but not nearly the same number as before and nowhere near the 120,000 that AP happily quoted the organisers (not, usually, an unbiased source) as claiming.

For your amusement, dear readers, here is AP’s statement of values: “For more than a century and a half, men and women of The Associated Press have had the privilege of bringing truth to the world.”

But, the truth is that the pro-Putin demo pulled more people than the anti-Putin demo.

Here is a very partial list of media outlets that repeated AP’s version: Globe and Mail (Canada); Daily Mail, Guardian (UK); NY Daily News, Fox, ABC, NPR, Time, Salon (USA); Hurriyet (Turkey); Drogheda (Ireland); India Times (India). And so on. A Google search on “‘Putin drew no more than 20,000 people’ Moscow” returns over 7000 hits. A lot of news outlets apparently agree AP brings “truth to the world”.

But not in this case. It’s time to ask yourself why you pay for your newspaper subscription.

One can understand why many Russians think that there is a “media war” on against them.

RIA Novosti to Be Liquidated in State-Owned Media Overhaul.

MOSCOW, December 9 (RIA Novosti) – The Kremlin announced Monday the dissolution of RIA Novosti, the country’s major state-run news agency, amid a significant reorganization of state-owned media assets.

News agency RIA Novosti and the state-owned Voice of Russia radio will be scrapped and absorbed into a new media conglomerate called Rossiya Segodnya, according to a decree signed by President Vladimir Putin.

The move is the latest in a series of shifts in Russia’s news landscape, which appear to point toward a tightening of state control in the already heavily regulated media sector.

In a separate decree published Monday, the Kremlin appointed Dmitry Kiselyov, a prominent Russian television presenter and media manager recently embroiled in a scandal over anti-gay remarks, to head Rossiya Segodnya.

Head of the presidential administration Sergei Ivanov said the changes were about saving money and making state media more effective.

“Russia has its own independent politics and strongly defends its national interests: it’s difficult to explain this to the world but we can do this, and we must do this,” Ivanov told reporters.

The direct translation of Rossiya Segodnya is Russia Today, but the new body will apparently be separate from RT, the Kremlin-funded English-language television channel originally known as Russia Today.

RT head Margarita Simonyan told Russian news website Lenta.ru on Monday that she only found out about the decree from news reports.

The changes, including legislative amendments, must be carried out by the government within three months, according to the Kremlin. Rossiya Segodnya will be located in the current RIA Novosti building in downtown Moscow, the decree said.

RIA Novosti was set up in 1941, two days after Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union, as the Soviet Information Bureau, and now has reporters in over 45 countries providing news in 14 languages.

Last month Gazprom-Media, which is closely linked to state-run gas giant Gazprom, bought control of Russian media company Profmedia from Russian billionaire Vladimir Potanin. In October, Mikhail Lesin, a former Kremlin advisor, was appointed to head Gazprom-Media.
