Channel One (Russia’s main state TV channel). A big feature “on the opposition’s year-end results” titled (surprise!): A Year of Scandals and Disappointments: the Opposition After the Bolotnaya Riots blah blah, everyone’s a murderer paid with Georgian money, and it ends like this:
I almost feel sorry for Oleg Shishkin. He lost his nerve and toned it down. He could have just said it outright: the first items in Navalny’s platform were a ban on wearing Soviet orders and medals, as well as compulsory employment as manual laborers for all young university graduates. Still, it’s good that in Russia young professionals are able to find decent jobs.
For example, Oleg Shishkin works for state television and gets paid by us to tell truthful news stories. On May 6, from 6:00 p.m., there will be a gathering at Bolotnaya Square of those who would like Oleg Shishkin, along with his colleagues and bosses, to work as manual laborers and support their families in an honest way. But not in Finland—in their native Bryansk.
