About Pravda.RU:Diplomatic:More in detail Moscow to support Russian-language press in CIS, Baltic states The support for Russian media in the CIS and Baltic states should be one of priority trends of information work of the Russian Foreign Ministry. The participants in the meeting on informational support for Russian foreign and domestic policy abroad came to this conclusion, the press and information department of the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday. Moscow is concerned about the support for Russian media abroad. The support for Russian media, as well as assistance to our compatriots abroad, is insufficient, the participants in the meeting said. Meanwhile, they pointed out that Russian representatives abroad are facing new problems in connection with changes in the international situation, the boosting of world's developments and foreign policy. "The ability to influence public opinion abroad tells on the objective perception of Russia in the world," the Russian Foreign Ministry said. According to Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov, the epoch of globalisation and rapid development of information technologies require more active use of modern forms and methods of information work. However, traditional forms of work, such as Russian representatives' addresses before foreign audience, interviews with foreign and Russian media, exhibitions, meetings between scientists, cultural and public figures, are also very important.

Russian media practically ignored information about an economic mobilization program being developed by people close to senator Sergey Pugachev; the program is planned to be submitted for the president’s consideration in autumn. Only several analysts threatened that democratic freedoms might be cut down and a police state would be established. However, creation of this program is very much significant. It provides for the following measures designed to strengthen the state economy management: - restoration of governmental monopoly on export and import of most important goods to deprive oligarchs of their economic might; - arrangement of foreign trade operation accounts through authorized banks to prevent illegal outflow of capital; - introduction of a state order for enterprises; accounts should be settled in government-controlled prices; - control over travels abroad and over currency spent at that;

June 13,1996 Web posted at 130 pm EDT (1730 GMT). MOSCOW (CNN) Boris http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9606/13/russia.media/

Observers say Russian media favor Yeltsin June 13, 1996 Web posted at: 1:30 p.m. EDT (1730 GMT) MOSCOW (CNN) Boris Yeltsin dominates Russia's media coverage because Russian journalists fear Communist Gennady Zyuganov, media watchers tell CNN. Journalists are "far more inclined to support Yeltsin. They simply do not want Zyuganov to come to power," said one media watcher from the Netherlands who is in Moscow to monitor the election. For example, while some media accounts have praised Yeltsin for increasing pensions, the same proposal by Zyuganov has been criticized as "populist propaganda." Even Yeltsin's own media adviser acknowledges the discrepancy. "Unfortunately, many journalists, in a sincere desire to keep Mr. Zyuganov out of office are biased," Igor Malasshenko said. But, he quickly added, "In Russia we cannot discipline the press." Will Yeltsin benefit? How much Yeltsin's domination of the media will help him is anyone's guess, Malasshenko said, because in rural areas only a few people have televisions. In those areas, he said, party bosses are still important and, in many cases, they are still the bosses who ran the area under communism. "They are going to tell people to vote for Communists," he said.

President Vladimir Putin and President George W Bush met for only 90 minutes in Slovenia. But according to the Russian press, it was an hour and a half which pulled Russia and the United States back from the brink of a new Cold War. But they still disagree on central issues "We have contact" is the headline in the daily Vremya Novostey. The paper praises what it describes as a chemical reaction between the two leaders. The summit's greatest achievement, it goes on, was the establishment of human contact between Mr Putin and Mr Bush. New era The tabloid, Moskovskii Komsomolets, notes that after a year of strained relations between the two countries, both sides have agreed to move on. It is a theme echoed in Izvestia. The newspaper says the summit went better than either side expected. Russia and America were no longer enemies, Izvestia writes - to some extent, they were now even allies.

Mr Gusinsky, whose Media-Most empire includes NTV television, the newspaper Sevodnya and the radio station Ekho Moskvy, is accused of stealing state property valued at $10 million, according to a statement by the prosecutor-general's office. The arrest of a man whose publications have frequently criticised the policies of the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin, have brought angry reactions from several prominent Russians. Rival Boris Berezovsky has criticised Gusinsky's arrest "It's a piece of discrimination which discredits Russia," said Boris Nemtsov, a deputy speaker of parliament and senior member of the liberal Union of Right's Forces. Boris Berezovsky, another powerful Russian media figure, said his "personal attitude to what has happened to Gusinsky is very negative, whether he's guilty or not".

February 3, 2000 Russian Media Wars. Moscow-based journalist Dimitri Devyatkin on collateral damage to the truth on Russian TV. Each week, the ferocity of the media wars in Russia increases to a new, previously unimaginable crescendo. During the week of November 8-12, viewers of Russia's prime-time broadcast channels were treated to a sublime piece of news reporting. We could not get to the remote control fast enough, before our children witnessed a Russian prisoner of war's Chechen captors blowing his finger off, then waving the bloody stump before the camera. A week earlier, a man resembling the embattled Chief Prosecutor of Russia, Yuri Skuratov, was shown on national TV having sex with two prostitutes. Every word of their intimate conversation was spelled out in subtitles. President Yeltsin tried to fire Skuratov, who has uncovered evidence that Yeltsin's family took millions of dollars in bribes. Whether the man on the video tape is really Skuratov or not is a matter of widespread debate. He denies it, and Yeltsin's dismissal order was reversed by the Parliament's higher chamber, the Federation Council, who voted to reinstate the Prosecutor. In Russia, the media molds popular opinion with an efficiency any war-making government would envy-as seen by the current popular support of Russia's genocidal war against Chechnya. Western reports are kept out, and when they do leak in, the fact that the West criticizes the war is dismissed and explained away. The general mood of TV commentators today is that Russia has taken enough advice from the West already. With the high world prices of oil today, Russia is seeing a windfall of about $2 billion more than it expected-enough to pay its debt service for 1999 without help from the IMF. Russians are tempted to thumb their noses at Western creditors, if only temporarily.

Korea shows off monuments, as lights go out in Pyongang By Anna Malpas, Vladivostok News, September 24, 2002 Our hotel in Pyongyang was situated on an island in the middle of the Taedong river, so that to get to the city you needed to walk along the island, and then across a long road bridge. This inaccessible location seemed no accident, and we were only given free time in the late evening. The hotel had a casino run by Chinese from Macau, who also provide the serving staff - presumably so North Koreans don't corrupt their morals. However, in a move of ideological chutzpah, a display in the vestibule listed Japanese atrocities during the occupation. The hotel had a golf course which attracted Chinese tourists. I decided to escape from the hotel one night when the guides were busy with other tourists. It was dark and raining, and due to the lack of street lighting, I felt pretty sure no one would spot me as a foreigner. I put on a black skirt, white top and sandals to look like a Korean, and put a scarf over my fair hair, which didn't look too odd since it was raining. I crossed the long road bridge with treacherous holes in the pavement. People cycled past me and a few cars caught me in their headlights, but no one reacted. I went down a footbridge into an unlit street with uneven pavements, passed a large institutional building, and had a look at some apartment blocks, which had entranceways designed just for bicycles...

40. 3.12: The Russian (Media) Revolution Issue 3.12 Dec 1995. The Russian (Media) Revolution. The bombing continued,but the reign of The Big Lie of russian media had ended. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/3.12/meier_pr.html

Issue 3.12 - Dec 1995 The Russian (Media) Revolution Feisty, independent, market-driven TV has taken root across the former Soviet Union, thanks largely to the efforts of some ex-movement boomers and their California-based (and Soros-backed) Internews. By Andrew Meier In that tense Moscow winter of 1991, before the failed Kremlin coup, I visited the godmother of the dissident movement, Larisa Bogoroz - one of the four in 1968 who dared to protest in Red Square when Soviet tanks rolled into Prague. Dangerously frail, Bogoroz was still full of fire and pulling hard on her beloved papirosi, those slow-burning, foul-smelling Russian "cigarettes" made of cardboard rolled around sawdust. We spoke of the revolution in progress, and I asked her the eternal Western question: "Could the clock be turned back?" "Never," she shot back. "Television won't allow it." Last spring when I was in Humboldt County, Since opening a Moscow office in 1992, the staff members of Internews have fed TV equipment - editing packs and Super VHS cameras - to more than 40 local stations across the old USSR. More importantly, they have developed news and public affairs programming to give some semblance of public discourse to Russia's otherwise chaotic airwaves. Internews has also formed a backbone for more than 100 fledgling private TV companies, providing training - by American television news producers and executives - that covers everything from production to ethics to advertising. The organization's peculiar funding cycle follows a flow chart that might raise a few eyebrows among current American nonprofits toiling hard for a few tax dollars. Although born and bred a nonprofit, Internews funds for-profit TV enterprises half a world away, thanks to multimillion-dollar contracts from the Agency for International Development, effectively the US government's foreign aid bank. Along with this generous funding comes grants from more than a dozen foundations, including one handsomely endowed by financier-philanthropist George Soros. Over the last few years, no other nonprofit, developing, post-Soviet media organization has garnered more American aid dollars than Internews.
