The square mouthpiece of the democratic propaganda is closed. TV channel Ukraine Today, entering the group “1+1 media” Igor Kolomoisky, stops working.
The channel began broadcasting in English in August 2014, focusing on the events in Ukraine and around it from the position of official Kiev. The goal was “to convey the position of our country to the international community, as well as to unite the liberal-minded circles of the former Soviet Union“. In your own words: anti-Russian circles, as you know.
Of course, the Ukrainian side pretend “not really wanted”, the General producer Tatyana Pushnova maintaining positive attitude:
“During work on the project, we very well understand your target audience, its tastes and sources of information. It is clear to us that the Internet is now the priority and more effective, this is where we will continue to work on existing projects and will be implementing new”.

General Director of “1+1 media” pretends to be “by design”:
“The launch of the channel Ukraine Today had a social component. We understood the need to support the state in its most difficult period – the aggression of a neighbor, especially when there was no state of the channel that could take on this function. Today we are convinced that the channel has completed its mission. Began working public broadcaster and, from our side, we are ready to help him and support”.
Tkachenko, Alexander V.
The reason is simple and, as the vast majority of events of our time, boils down to “Cherche La money”. The fact that Kolomoisky last fall lost a very important lawsuit in a London court. As a result, he signed with the Victor Pinchuk settlement agreement: “Kolomoysky pledged to give Pinchuk part of the money, “clamped” them in General Ferroalloy business. The conditions of the settlement agreement and even the very fact of its conclusion the parties were not disclosed“.
Director of the Kiev center for political studies and conflictology Mikhail Pogrebinsky reveals the situation:
“I understand that he wanted to compete with Russia Today, but he’s in serious financial problems. …. he now has, as far as we know, from 600 to 800 million dollars. I think this is the main reason. Although he is an oligarch, and its assets will be in the amount of more expensive, but free these he had no money. … As for the channel, then God himself commanded him to come and say to the government: but Finance on your own.”
Mikhail Pogrebinsky
Kiev decided to create its English-language channel with original name “Ukraine Tomorrow”, which was announced in October last year, but still leads exclusively Internet broadcasting.
Kolomoisky personal problems, including financial, we don’t really interesting as it is indicative of the lack of sponsors on demokratene such a thing as anti-Russian propaganda. The existence of Ukraine in comprador-puppet version requires massive brainwashing to the population, and to broadcast the strange fantasies of official Kiev funds are allocated. But the international level is serious.
Remember how in 2014, U.S. Secretary of state John Kerry spoke out against the Russian TV channel Russia Today? Chief editor RT Margarita Simonyan answered:
“In America, which is positioned as the main protector of freedoms and democracy worldwide, actually so not used to what can exist and to spread widely different viewpoint that even the official of such rank, a Secretary of state entire United States is committed “to smear” Russia Today simply because we are the only channel that tells something different, shows something else”.
Simonyan Margarita Simonovna
Here, I note, it is important to not just “something else”, but what is told is the truth.
The falsehood of the Western anti-Russian propaganda sponsored by and quite sought after; why nobody wants to invest in a similar channel? It would seem that such a possibility to run a believable fakes “from the field”, to serve the propaganda first hand, and not in the retelling… Stop. It appears that the problem is in these “first hand”.
All that Kiev is trying to do in terms of propaganda is not just clumsy, it’s… um… whatever it is politically correct to say so… well, you get the idea. Absolutely. A clear example is the beginning of work in Ukraine Today 2014, when Anissa noway the leading RT, was invited to transfer to a live broadcast Executive producer of Ukraine Today Tetiana Pushnova — to talk as a colleague with a colleague. As a result, the Ukrainian side came the accusation of Russia in “a thousand deaths” in Ukraine and RT on the allegation of lying, then Pushnova concluded with the phrase “I urge my international colleagues not to cooperate with Russia Today” and disconnected from the ether. That is, the intentions to conduct a dialogue was not originally — just wanted to fool around.
“The view” quoted the famous Ukrainian Anatoly Sharia about new products channel Kolomoisky – “this poor, cheap and stupid“:
“As they imagined it? Sits English-speaking audience in old Europe in a chair, turns on the TV or YouTube, and show him girls who are jumping in embroidered shirts and wreaths. Insanity and nonsense. I think no one was looking, except the head. So that all ended naturally. Now the information Minister stets talks about “Ukraine tomorrow”, but I’m sure they will suffer the same fate”.
Anatoly Shary
Propaganda, even the enemy, can cause respect, if it is qualitative. The level of Ukraine Today… Let’s take a fresh example, and, for clarity, not political, but merely technical. The website of Ukraine Today (remember, his plan to develop, forgoing television), publishes a note about the new weapons “heroes ATO”. Like, we have modern sniper and mortars, and last year the soldiers received the latest modification of the AK-47 (very interestingly, there calgarymobile new attached). I can’t say anything about the stated 60 mm mortars, but as mentioned 120 mm — it is “a modern modification of the” Soviet 2Б11 to the NATO kotoromuty sight.
More truly — innovative sniper rifle MP VM-CSS “Ukroboronservice” whichare “tactically” macintoy. The barrel and breech all known since 1891 the Mosin screwed cover, bipod, and a sight more modern, and that’s all there is. That is Peremoga, mean. The trunks are taken from the warehouses — it is clear that there are already pre-owned rifles — modern production barrels such as sniper cartridges of caliber 7,62x54R in Ukraine now is not in principle.
Of course, the specific example, and the mass audience will not pay attention to technical details, but clearly that over the entire external propaganda lies dummy. The fact is that even the most rabid advocacy requires positive content: “we are against that, because we stand for this, and they are against”. Svidomye the same time, Ukraine has no positive content, in principle, the ideology is rabid Russophobia and nothing more, even the “integration into Europe” has been forgotten and is expressed in past time only in the requirements approval of homosexuality. In the West it’s all clear as a very clear goal: the fragmentation of the Russian nation into pieces, preferably antagonistic to, the weakening of Russia’s opposition to a future reunification of Russian territories, maintaining the center of tension is directly on the Russian borders etc. Anything interesting to a Western audience Ukrainian propaganda cannot say in principle, but actions against Russia will be maintained in the region, again, regardless of local broadcasting in any language.
So it’s simple: nobody forbids to spend money on private Ukrainian are similar, but to invest in such misery no serious investor will not.
