Is there a 5th column in the Russian media?
Hell yeah!
It is literally all over the place!
Like during the latest Q&A with President Putin. I don’t know if anybody else noticed this, but it really pissed me off. Check out who got to ask a question from the studio:
Khakamada Venediktov Kudrin Remchukov
For those who don’t know these faces – they are some of the worst “demofreaks” in Russia. Meet:
Irina Khakamada: bigtime Nemtsov groupie, professional protester and feminist.
Alexei Venediktov: editor in Chief of the rabidly anti-Russian “Ekho Moskvy” (Echo of Moscow) Radio Station, aka “Ekho Matsy” (Echo of the Matso) due to its russophobic political line. He is actually a “true believer” in western democracy
Alexei Kudrin: one of the figureheads of the Atlantic Integrationists, a hardcore market economist, forever offended since he was fired (by Medvedev, of all people!).
Konstantin Remchukov: owner and editor in chief of Nezavisimaya Gazeta, who has received the official imprimatur of the Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty.
Just look at their faces! They have that “eternal sadness of the professional dissident” in their eyes. Clearly, they “suffer” from the “regime” and they feel like 21st century versions of Sakharov and Solzhenitsyn. They also feel hurt, because the barbaric, reactionary and ungrateful Russian people never gave them the support they feel that their courageous stance deserves, and so, not a single one of their candidates made it into the Duma. Not one!
That’s right. These guys represent at most 5% of the Russian people. And yet, they are treated by the state media like some kind of honored guests, as if they were literally all Heroes of Russia, with something important and enlightening to say.
Personally? I would not even invite them at all. None of them. I despise their ideas, their attitude, their hypocrisy, their russophobia and their sickening sniveling about how hard it is to be a “dissident” in Putin’s Russia (even when they get invited by the state TV).
But nevermind them. The real question is this: who invited them and why?
So yes, there is a 5th column in the Russian media.

Hi moderators. You probably have gotten thousands of mail, saying – “if nobody else can help moderating, I can do some, but maybe I will not be the best person for the job….”
Anyway, I live in Sweden, and I can help a couple of hour around this time of the day (7-9 UTC) most of the days.
Hi Karin

The point is that Putin and his party are democrats. In a true democracy everyone should be able to have his or her say as evidenced in the four hour marathon Q&A session. Orwell would be proud of Russia today.
All the questions that get asked through the advertised channels get replies via the Presidents office. There is a special full time manned office where questions that require answers are filed and distributed to the relevant authority for answers. This has been happening since the early 1990s.
“Just look at their faces! They have that “eternal sadness of the professional dissident” in their eyes.”
So true!
So pathetic!
That stupid peoples love Americans and UE, but the americans and UE don’t love them. Really westerns hate us, the Slav people, becouse they think are superior, more clever, more polish. The westerns understand only the brutal force and money. So buy them and kick them. This is the only way to treat with them. They don’t want our friendship. Why insist for?
Public betrayal.
