Chronic commentaries on Russian history
Foreword
Hello! Something about this book.
From the end of March 2011 to the end of June 2012, three times a week - on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday - in the morning block of programs of the NTV channel (at 06:05 with a repeat at 07:05) I said “Hello! Something about ... "and then 3 minutes (in the first issues - a little more than 2, in some - almost 4) expounded this" something about "one of the most relevant news.
Of course, much of what I have mentioned has long lost its relevance. Still, a snapshot of how the country and the world have lived for over a year is of some interest to me - and, I hope, to readers. Therefore, my then speeches are collected here in chronological - not thematic - order.
The release schedule for the morning comments was determined by my participation in intellectual games. Sometimes I come back from tournaments by Monday evening. Morning in Russia begins in Chukotka, so the program is broadcast late in the evening Moscow time, and in Moscow it is broadcast in recording. So I went to Ostankino in the evening on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The morning of these days, I and the editor of the program - the head of the site "Russian Observer" Yegor Stanislavovich Kholmogorov - spent watching the main news, choosing what deserved the most attention, selecting facts on the chosen topic (mainly Vladislava Dmitrievna Yavorskaya, an employee of the same site ). By about 1 pm I was e-mailing the preliminary text to Kholmogorov, by 2 pm I received his comments, by 3 pm I was sending the final version.
The text is written before the broadcast because airtime is expensive. I improvise in the frame exactly twice as slow as I read from a teleprompter. The speed of reading aloud - with correct intonations and semantic pauses - I have 800 printed characters (including spaces) per minute, and free improvisation - only 400. Therefore, I improvise only on Internet television, where time is not limited, and when I need to bring to viewers the greatest content in the least time, I prepare in advance.
Often in the text it is necessary to indicate the stress, because it is not always obvious. This is done with a capital letter in the middle of the word: other methods are not always visible on the teleprompter screen. But the letter "ё" in foreign words is far from always under stress: for example, in the famous surname Spencer-Churchill, the stress in each half falls on the first syllable.
TV viewers prefer not a monologue, but a variety of images. Therefore, each episode included two video blocks on its topic, accompanied by a voiceover. I wrote this text, but the NTV announcers read it. After all, the video material must be selected exactly at the time of reading the text, and I appeared at the studio only at the beginning of the preparation of the main part of the morning block - shortly before 8 pm. And the selection of video illustrations is not a matter of a minute. Yes, and you need to mount them with a second precision - which means, too, long. So they prepared the offscreen text in advance - right after receiving the monologue by e-mail. I even tried to maintain different styles of voiceover and body copy. In the texts of monologues, the offscreen part is in italics.
A couple of times the schedule was broken. For example, I was informed about the murder of Muammar Mukhammedovich Gaddafi on the way to Ostankino. I had to suddenly prepare a monologue - in less than an hour. But the transfer team managed to do everything: the selection of facts, and the search for illustrations, and video editing.
For various reasons, a few more monologues had to be edited right in the studio. Here I, as a rule, cite the text, clarified by the videos posted on the aforementioned Russian Observer website.
A lot of texts were not broadcast. For example, the first experiments, where the format has not yet been established, are not even intended for display. Nevertheless, even in them I put thoughts that to this day seem to me to be true. Sometimes, right during the preparation of a commentary on one news, another, more important, appeared. Some of these detained monologues went on the air later, but if, as they say in the media, the news occasion went away, then there is no need to show the material dedicated to it. There were also technical failures. So, one of the monologues I recorded at the studio of the Odessa TV channel ATV in September 2011 (I stayed in Odessa to participate in the 9th world championship in the sports version "What? Where? When?"; Alas, our team is playing, as they say, did not go), because of the organizational overlap, I got to Moscow with a delay, and a monologue prepared for the next day was broadcast, but this one was never shown.
A monologue dedicated to a pre-known event or anniversary of an event can be prepared ahead of time. Therefore, there were days when two or even three episodes were recorded. Everything in the collection is ordered by the time of writing the text (or making amendments to it that have already appeared in the studio). Date - year, month, day - and time are indicated before each monologue. Also indicated (from memory or according to the site "Russian Observer") the date of the broadcast, if there was such a broadcast, or a note that the monologue was not on the air.
Twice in the entire time I was late for the shoot. Once I sent a test home recording to the studio, and its quality turned out to be too low, but I found out about it with a delay, although I still managed to record the material in the studio, at least for showing to the west of the Urals. The second time the business meeting (after all, television is not my only occupation) dragged on so much that, with the consent of the producer of the morning broadcast, I did not rush to Ostankino, but arrived outside the schedule - on Sunday - and the material went on the Monday broadcast.
For the convenience of counting the number of printed characters - that is, the sounding time - I wrote down all the numbers in words. When preparing the texts for printing, I tried to replace this record with a digital one. But some phrases look more natural when verbally writing numbers.
From the texts in this book, I crossed out the repeated opening (the same as in this preface) - for this I had to edit the beginning in some monologues - and the standard phrase that ended each of my performances on the morning air of NTV. I saved it in two places, where without it the monologue was clearly incomplete. And - for all other issues - I bring it here:
I hope I'll tell you something more next time.

Insor's next report imitates vigorous activity again
The main, in its own opinion, center for generating ideas for the country's top leadership - the Institute of Contemporary Development - once again announced that the main obstacle to Russia's development is the lack of democracy.
Meanwhile, for a quarter of a century in a row, life has shown us undoubted examples of the beneficial impact of democracy on Russia. The democratic elections of enterprise managers ensured the unrestrained plundering by the red directors of everything entrusted to their care, so that even the legendary Chubais privatization was perceived as something useful in comparison with Ryzhkov's. Democratic elections of heads of cities and subjects of the Federation have added hundreds of colorful examples to the world list of talentless robbers. Although, of course, both talented managers and honest fighters for the common good won the elections, they did not make a difference.
The main thing is that the whole world experience has long proved that democracy is not a hindrance to officials. The fact that the Americans have renamed bribery into lobbying and embezzlement into public-private partnerships has not changed for the better. The apparent prosperity of the Shining City on the Hill is a consequence of completely different reasons, and not all of them can be reproduced in other places. And there is no anti-tank ditch thousands of kilometers wide around Russia, and we are not accustomed to plunder other countries ...
In general, the world is large and diverse. If INSOR employees do not like the country and the people, their surroundings, no one bothers them to choose others that are more in line with their personal beliefs.

Letter forty five
Defense of a hopeless cause is noble but stupid
I deeply respect each of those who signed this call to declare Khodorkovsky a prisoner of conscience. Extremely talented people. They have done so much for the national culture that the list of official recognition of their merits will take up a hefty volume. Not to mention Viktor Anatolyevich Shenderovich ...
Moreover, they are undoubtedly right. Mikhail Borisovich is indeed a prisoner of conscience. His own conscience drove him along the wrong path of early Russian business so far that one recalls the words of the knight Lancelot in Yevgeny Lvovich Schwartz in The Dragon: “Everyone was taught. But why did you become the first student, such a brute? "
In May 2005, the Meshchansky District Court of Moscow found him guilty under seven articles of the Criminal Code, including fraud, misappropriation of other people's property, tax evasion, and sentenced him to nine years in prison. In September, the Moscow City Court on appeal reduced the term to 8 years. Khodorkovsky's associates were also convicted. Thus, the head of the YUKOS security service, Alexei Vladimirovich Pichugin, was sentenced to life imprisonment for organizing contract killings.
