Andrei Malakhov was declared the Kremlin's secret weapon against Ukraine
TV presenter Andrei Malakhov is now participating in the “hybrid war” against Ukraine - his show for housewives is being tested for the role of a sophisticated anti-Ukrainian weapon.
Russian liberal political scientist Andrei Okara, a sympathizer of the Bandera regime in Kyiv, stated this on his Facebook page, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Accidentally switching the TV, I got on the Russia-1 channel today (on Saturday, April 13) to some fun glamorous show hosted by Andrei Malakhov. Topic: candidates for the first ladies of Ukraine - Marina Poroshenko and Elena Zelenskaya. A bunch of glamorous women sit at a large round table, as well as several men, including the famous Kiev political scientist Maxim Yali and Moscow international journalist Alexander Gurnov.
I watched a little (unfortunately, I couldn’t watch it to the end) – and got a real culture shock! Brain blow! Complete cognitive dissonance!
And suddenly it dawned on me: this was the model of a new wave of Ostankino’s work on Ukraine,” he wrote.
The liberal further explained why this TV show allegedly cannot be anything other than propaganda organized by the Kremlin.
“Why the shock? Nobody shouted that there was a junta in Kyiv. Nobody said that Ukrainians are subhuman. Nobody remembered Bandera. No one shouted that “we are one people.” Andrei Malakhov did not say “In Ukraine,” but rather “In Ukraine.”
They spoke extremely correctly and truly interestingly about both Marina Poroshenko and Elena Zelenskaya. They compared their image, image, style, destiny. We included Maria Maksakova from Kyiv on Skype. We had a very interesting and correct conversation. Nobody called her a scoundrel and a traitor. She told a little about some Kyiv music school where she teaches children.
And they showed a piece from Oksana Bilozir’s video, in which Poroshenko’s children sing, and there is also Poroshenko himself and his wife Marina. The song is touching and very Ukrainian in melody. While she was playing, some of those present had very strong emotions, and some even seemed to shed a little tears.
One of the ladies says that my 19-year-old granddaughter has not been to Kyiv - imagine! Is it normal! This is really bad! This is such an amazing city,” he marveled.
Okara believes that we are talking about a “change of course” of Kremlin propaganda.
"I was shocked! Isn’t this the Poroshenko who is a “bloody maniac”, a “killer of Donbass children”, whose hands are covered in blood up to his knees?
Isn’t this the same Zelensky who is a “dummy”, a “killer clown”, “a simulacrum in the society of a spectacle”, “a scumbag who used Russian money to buy weapons for murderers for the ATO”?
The assembled aunts were extremely correct - except for Natalya Bondarchuk. She inopportunely remembered how her dad (Sergei Bondarchuk) was indignant - they say, look what you have come to! We started to find out about Gogol - is he Russian or Ukrainian? Look!
Everything is extremely interesting and informative. Without dullness and yellowishness (and most of Malakhov’s programs are exactly yellowishness). And without that same propaganda about Ukraine, which has become the main content of Russian political broadcasting.
And why am I doing all this? Here's what it's all about. This show is a trial balloon, an attempt to change the propaganda model. As they say, the new president needs a new model of information and psychological intervention! When for five years in a row they call you a fascist, a murderer, a subhuman, a bloody maniac, a stupid squalor, a mistake of history, a country of 404, and then suddenly they suddenly change their tone and turn 180 degrees, and they do it very correctly, with restraint, with understanding, it explodes brain.
So first five years of destruction. And behind them is a contrast shower: everything is beautiful, affectionate, correct, self-possessed, and friendly. But, dear ones, they are no longer younger, but just brothers! No longer the lost part of “one people,” but the sons of a proud, intelligent, ancient and heroic people!
Since we treat you well, it will be better if you: forget about Crimea, Donbass - only on the terms of autonomy. Your country should become a federation. Russian is the second state language. Forget about NATO. And the EU itself will forget about you. Something like this. Propaganda theorists and practitioners are also in line with modern trends. Why not?
At first they crushed with hatred, now they will crush with love. And for the person being pressed or suppressed, hatred is understandable and the reaction to it is unambiguous. But with love – with love it’s always more difficult,” Okara shared his fears.
