Journalist Vladimir Posner reacted to the new edition of the author’s program of Nikita Mikhalkov’s “Besogon TV” called “Pozner, father Gapon and Geese-swans”. However, he said he would not comment on the program and to answer Mikhalkov. Instead, Posner has explained what started the conflict between him and Mikhalkov around the “Besogon”.
Earlier edition of “Besogon” called “one in the pocket of the government?” was off the air on TV channel “Russia-24”. In this episode it was said that the founder of Microsoft bill gates intends to microchip humanity. Mikhalkov himself said that the issue is not shown to viewers due to censorship on television, and announced that it is now his program can be seen only on YouTube.
As told to Posner, program Mikhalkov he looked solely at the request of his friend. After he sent the Director a letter.
“I decided to write to him: I, a connoisseur of his talent (even lost), I do not care what he thinks and says,” explained the journalist.
While conversing with Mikhalkov, Posner stressed that the letter is personal and will not be made public — this is also he asked for the Director. The next day, Mikhalkov replied.
In the release of “Posner, father Gapon and Geese-swans” Mikhalkov read out extracts from a personal letter to Posner to it.
“Mikhalkov justifies this by the fact that I broke my promise not to publish it, acting on “echo of Moscow”, criticizing its program,” wrote Posner, noting that he did not break anything, because it is not promised not to talk about their attitude to the program.
With this in mind, Posner decided to publish both letters — they are now hosted on a personal site of a journalist.
Earlier in interview to Vladimir Pozner, said that he felt disgusted while watching Mikhalkov, reminiscent of “Ridus”.
“I Think if I had not voiced my opinion on the “echo” that would not be the object of attention and Mikhalkov’s “Besogon””, — the journalist noted, suggesting that the result is the Director was mad.
