The British media turned a “Russian oligarch” into a “Ukrainian-born businessman”
In British news, the words “Russian” or “Russian” should not be used in a positive way.
Political observer Vladimir Kornilov writes about this in his blog, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The technology of Russophobia in the Western media using the example of news about our former oligarchs. For example, when the richest Briton Leonid Blavatnik sponsors Trump or when he makes a scandalous renovation of a house in London, he is a “Russian oligarch”, and even close to “official Russia,” the expert points out.
“But today’s The Times writes that Blavatnik contributed 7,5 million pounds to preserve the unique manuscripts of Scott, Burns, and Brontë in Britain. And a wonderful transformation occurs! A “Russian oligarch” suddenly becomes a “Ukrainian-born businessman”! Not a word about Russia! Moreover, Blavatnik was born in Soviet Odessa, but in infancy he was transported to Yaroslavl, and then to Moscow, where he spent his childhood,” the observer notes.
“It turns out that the words “Russian” or “Russian” cannot be used in positive news! Doesn't fit into the context. But Blavatnik will get into another scandal - and again become a “Russian oligarch.” This is how it works,” sums up Kornilov.
