Dmitry Gubin was, after all, fired from Vesti FM: I no longer host the morning shows on "Vesti FM," neither on Mondays nor on Fridays—in fact, I don’t host anything there anymore, and I doubt that in the foreseeable future I’ll be hosting any state-run broadcasts at all. (The word "state" here—meaning belonging to those who control everything the state possesses, including its "taxpaying souls" (an old Russian expression)—does not substitute for the word "public." It merely covers up the void: we have a country, and even a nation, but no society.) Yesterday, a couple of hours after the broadcast, I got a call from the man who once invited me to work on the same lineup as Volodya Solovyov, and he said that I had violated the terms of my contract, that I had criticized, argued, and insulted Matviyenko instead of offering constructive criticism. That by violating the contract I was setting everyone up. And that because of this, he could no longer trust me with producing the broadcast. dimagubin.livejournal.com/86147.html And Vladimir Putin has chosen a symbol of the Olympics for all of us—one that is close to his spirit.
