MEDIAFRENIYA. The problem of border

< Igor Yakovenko

The logic of war is opposite logic of life. The situation of information warfare is changing the whole structure of the media and journalism. Changes the whole logic of media. In the normal life of the media and journalism exist for communication between people. For communication. In the information war - for the boundaries between "we" - "they", "patriots" - "national traitors", Russian - Ukrainian.
In the logic of information warfare comfortable to those who "pole", who is all in black and white. Those who try to live in peace halftone in the border zone, and the more cross the border (in the sense of the line defines the limits of the state, and in the sense of ideological demarcation) falls especially hard. Such "border beings", tend to get the two sides.
< The Case Remchukova
Program of the First channel "Politics" (master Peter Tolstoy) the level of intolerance and inflame hysteria inferior program "Russia-1", which lead Dmitry Kiselev and Vladimir Solovyov. So what happened to this program on April 9 is particularly revealing. The conversation was, of course, about the Ukraine. Supporters of the current Ukrainian authorities except Bandera and the Nazis, of course, no one called. And then one of the participants, Remchukov, urged the audience to "respect the Ukraine."
XXXXXXXXXXXX "zaputinets" with lots of experience. Now he is a solid "krymnashevets" without reproach, and vibrations. Actually, none other in Russia today, and can not be a businessman, the owner of the newspaper. And just XXXXXXXXXXXX suggested not to call all supporters of the unity of Ukraine - the Nazis and to recognize the right of people to defend the territorial integrity of the country. There was a feeling that right during the liturgy of the altar there was a demon in all their ungodly abomination. So, anyway, reacted to the words Remchukova program participants. At some point, there are fears for the safety of the owner of "Nezavisimaya Gazeta". XXXXXXXXXXXX learned about myself a lot, for example, that he was an accomplice of Bandera and fascists.
"Casus Remchukova" has several facets and manifests itself in several guises. First, that the "moderate" supporters of the Putin regime and its "moderate" critics become unclaimed anywhere - neither in the pro-Kremlin media nor in the few independent. Their symbolic capitalization falling rapidly, they do not need anyone. Border turns into a bottomless pit, absorbs them.
Secondly, the authors, like yesterday capable of reasonable articulate speech today to push themselves to the general chorus of lowing. I'm not talking about Vitaly Tretyakov, who once (remember the old!) Wrote a normal journalism, and now the level of obscurantism successfully competes with Prokhanov and Zhirinovsky, though inferior to them both in brightness and literary talent. At the last "Sunday Night" Solovyov Tretyakov in response to the mention of Ukrainians as a fraternal peoples contemptuously chuckled and said that it depends on what the people and "looking whom he brotherly" and added: "In Moscow and Bandera brotherly people." < br /> Information War and the consequent insurmountable boundaries between ideology and common sense led to a complete transformation in the recent past who had the international recognition of the intellectual and journalist, as Karaganov. Here is what he writes in the latest issue of "News": "The main purpose (of the Russian aggression in Ukraine) - complete unfinished Cold War. Medium: joining the Crimea. " And then Dean of the Faculty of world politics and the world economy of the Higher School of Economics says that to complete the unfinished "cold war" Russia, except the capture of the Crimea, is going to use "non-recognition of future elections in Ukraine" and "direction of the Ukraine Armed Forces." That is to complete the "unfinished" cold war "Russia, according Karaganova must wage war hot?
But that's not all. "Among the objectives of the current line of Moscow in the European-Ukrainian crisis - the desire to provide the conditions really looking for an external threat tough reforms, including the fight against falling asleep satiated all - anti-liberal and liberal elites." End quote. That is, it's all here - the annexation of the Crimea, the gap with the West, censorship, zombie nation, rolled asphalt in the opposition and civil society - was necessary for "a new round of reforms, including liberalization of the accelerated pace of conditions for small and medium businesses, the creation of an independent judiciary, etc. Etc.. »?!
Maybe Sergei Alexandrovich us immediately through a nuclear war to hold to with the "falling asleep satiated all" to end? And even then accelerated pace and liberalization, and independent courts. And what freedom of speech will be: on the bark or on clay tablets. Write what you want!
Information warfare especially hurts those who are already located close to the pole lies. Since they fly off the remnants of morality, decency and common sense. Journalist Dmitry Olshansky "declared wanted" journalist Ilya Azar. He wrote: "For the attention of those who can read me in Donetsk, Donetsk council building. There is a spy Ukrainian citizen media Russia Ilya Azar. He is looking for nastiness and compromising for media Kiev regime. Represented by journalists from Moscow. Remove it from there ».
On my desktop the last six months is constantly thick volume: "Most censorship. Writers and journalists in the country of the Soviets 1917-1956. " In the closet is not removed because it is very useful and relevant reading. This collection of documents. Total of 473 documents, which are dominated by the letter to Stalin. Special genre: letter-knock. Basically to colleagues, journalists, writers, editors, sometimes for an entire edition. Sensitive noses Olshanskys prompted their owners that times are back - it's time to knock.
Another character from the past their smell prompted: Time bdit! In a brilliant reportage Andrew Kozenko published on Znak.com titled "Patriotic subtraction", describes such a character. This expert of the Russian Academy of Education Ulyahina Love, based on the conclusion of which the Ministry of Education has excluded from the list of recommended textbook on mathematics for grades 1-4 Ludmila Peterson as the "content of the textbook is not conducive to the formation of patriotism." Alert Ulyahina Love writes: "Heroes works J. Rodary, C. Perrault, Bro. Grimm, AA Milne, A. Lindgren, E. Raspe, dwarves, elves, fakirs with snakes, three little pigs hardly intended to develop a sense of patriotism and pride in their country and their people. " And the truth is, what mathematics can teach our kids alien three little pigs, and even more directly hostile to the seven dwarfs!
I believe that Love Ulyahina woke up just in time from lethargy into which she fell, apparently, in the year 1949 will not stop. On turn Newton's laws, which, because of the ugly behavior of England need to rewrite some Russian clerk mid-17th century. As well as the names of any Maxwell - Einstein and suspicious gays with Lussac time already within the next campaign against kowtowing to the West to withdraw from our textbooks and write there the glorious Russian names.
The boundary separating the promotion of common sense due to the worsening of the information war, became irresistible. This is evidenced by the two story on Russian TV channels that were released last week.
In one of them, on the NTV channel, shows a man in a hospital bed with a swab on the face, which is represented as a German citizen by the name of Andrew, who came to Ukraine to help the Maidan, which was going to "cripple the maximum number of people." For this exotic attacker brought half a million euros, to which he was going to either, or has already provided 50 sets of uniforms mercenaries. The meaning of this crime was not quite clear to anyone of the participants in the ether, including journalists, cameramen and the very villain. But the voice of the journalist sounded tragic, and it was clear that damned West has brought much suffering to the people of Ukraine, and in the future will bring countless more. Unless, of course, we do not ask Putin to take these poor fellows under his protection.
In the second story, is already on the channel "Russia-1" in the program "Vesti", the same man in a hospital bed with a wad on her face was already presented to the full name - Andrey Petkov. Here our hero was already radically Ukrainians from Nikolaev, disgruntled current Ukrainian authorities. And he suffered from supporters of the Maidan. The fact that it is one and the same person, there can be no doubt. NTV employees and "Russia-1" and even pose a swab on the face of the actor is not changed. A feeling that people are not only not ashamed to lie openly, but also proud of lies, flaunt it.

< Obstruction of the border, "What do those who blame»?

Last week was a record in the number of Russian journalists, who were not allowed to Ukraine. Among stopped on the Russian-Ukrainian border correspondent of "Kommersant" Andrey Kolesnikov and press photographer Dmitry Azarov this edition, two journalists of Forbes, journalists agency Ruptly, cooperating with the channel "Rush Today screen" employees RIA "Novosti", several crews REN TV at including Roman Super was deported from Odessa for "journalistic activities in the Crimea during the referendum." One of the recent scandals - Deportation correspondent of "Echo of Moscow" Vsevolod Boyko, seconded to cover events in the Donetsk region.
The response was pretty rough and angry reaction from Russian journalists. Alexander Baunov on Slon.ru indignant: "Andrei Kolesnikov of" Kommersant "was not allowed to Kiev. This Kolesnikov, whose book "The First Ukrainian" placers lying in each kiosk Kiev after winning the first of the Maidan. " Note that in the years between the first and second Maidan Andrei Kolesnikov of journalist turned into a court chronicler under Putin, but in Kiev it was not allowed, probably not for it.
Venediktov its response to the deportation of journalist "echo" of the Ukraine in the style survived the Russian Foreign Ministry. Text published on the website of "Echo", called "Protest" and contains chased Lavrovskaya wording: "The Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly accused the Russian media of misrepresentation of Ukraine." That is it, "Ukrainian authorities accuse" and to Alexei Venediktov of "misrepresentation" is unknown? Next, tone editor of "Echo" becomes threatened, "you limit the possibility to inform our listeners and website visitors - let them draw their own conclusions about the Ukrainian authorities and their quest for democracy and progress." And just awesome ending: "I suppose that such actions will be the subject of discussion of international journalistic organizations».
Irritation Venediktova, Maksimovskaya and all others unjustly wronged normal Russian journalists is easy to understand: they are contrary to Russian pressure bullies trying to tell people the truth about Ukraine, and now Ukrainian bullies create problems from scratch.
Now let's try to understand the Ukrainians. Over their country faced a real threat of disintegration and provoked from outside hostile takeover. One piece of the country's "fraternal raider" already digested. This digestion, by the way, are actively involved Russian journalists: Journalists Union of Russia has opened in the Crimea and Sevastopol their offices, and the "Komsomolskaya Pravda", "AIF", "Life" and other Russian tabloids fun to develop new markets.
Russian journalist for Ukraine efforts Kiselev-Soloviev - is synonymous with liar and provocateur. The notion of collective responsibility in the law, of course not (although our gosdura already something similar input) but in terms of moral, "metaphysical" by Jaspers-fault liability, we over-Kiselev Solovyov undoubtedly respond. Otherwise, it turns asymmetrically: Pushkin and Tolstoy, as well as all the other nice and clean, we are proud, and all the crap - it is not for us, so that whether?
But most importantly, of course, a practical solution to the issue of secession from the journalist provocateur in the information war. I do not think any of our disgruntled journalism masters seriously believes that the border guards should (could) be able to distinguish between these two types. For this, there are other well-tested and means. The border, which runs today on Russian journalism should be labeled. Russian journalists themselves must separate ourselves from the propagandists of state and near-state media. This requires a new alliance of independent journalists. Kremlin media for us already done most of the work. All normal and normal media journalists have labeled as national traitors and "fifth column". We just have to unite to protect their interests - or rather, to protect the interests of their readers, listeners and viewers. Well, for advocates of Putin's troops informational border should be shut. Both Ukrainian border and new journalistic union.
