Just now on TV Center (a Russian TV channel), the wonderful populist Seryozha Shargunov is really going off about the "luxury tax"... ahem-ahem, I’m reminded of one late-night economics crash course at "Pirogi on Nikolskaya" (a Moscow café), when the leader of one youth movement and I were explaining to Seryozha what a "luxury tax" is, because Seryozha is, to put it mildly, not very strong on economics))) http://mikas-murashev.livejournal.com/497883.html Whether by chance or not, it was good that the hosts didn’t interfere too much. It looks like they wouldn’t have been able to, even if they’d wanted to. It made for something unusual in TV debates. http://guralyuk.livejournal.com/755660.html I didn’t catch it from the beginning, and the program as a whole left a strange impression. It was a lot like an MTV video countdown, when the top 20 clips are listed in reverse order. http://plutovstvo007.livejournal.com/357485.html where’s Navalny? what is Konchalovsky doing there? http://murashev.mylivepage.ru/blog/31/67831/%D0%B5%D1%89%D0%B5%20%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B7%20%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BE%D0%B9%D1%86%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%20%D0%BA%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B1%D0%B5 "Fight Club" is on TV Center. Who came up with this idiotic show? http://community.livejournal.com/ru_politics/6029932.html?thread=74681452 Honestly, I expected that after editing it would turn into something more decent. It ended up being the same circus as during the filming at Bilingua (a Moscow club/café). Everyone was talking at once, nobody could hear anyone else, and nobody wanted to listen. I still stand by my opinion that these hosts are a bad fit. They weren’t moderating the discussion, they were voicing their own opinions. The only thing that worked was the club itself and its relaxed atmosphere, unlike the studio. http://rimona.livejournal.com/128263.html watched Fight Club. the attempt to bring debates to TV in an all-out brutal format quite obviously failed. the everyone-yells-and-no-one-listens format is, thank God, a thing of the past. retro style, yeah. http://bussy.livejournal.com/366574.html Well, what can I tell you? Svyatenkov came off very well. Much better than Kuchera. All of Kuchera’s much-praised experience was no help to him. Because when a person spews a lot of liberal drivel on air, no amount of confident on-camera presence is going to save him. The little nymphets from United Russia, of course, were absolutely astonishing. I couldn’t figure out just one thing: are they really such stupid blondes, regardless of hair color, or had they thoroughly absorbed old Komsomol-style wisdom and were just pretending very skillfully? http://militarev.livejournal.com/692246.html what unbelievably vile assholes are appearing on TV Center http://gematogen.livejournal.com/2271755.html
